In the reception room, Zhao Guoyang spoke his opinion aloud after being named by Leader Zhuo.

He said calmly: "The province has conducted several surveys on whether Ninghai City is qualified to be upgraded to a prefecture-level city. Professor Zhou must have done a lot of research, so I won't show off my skills. Here, I will talk a little about my foundation and conditions for Ninghai City as a regional central city."

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's calm words in peace, Zhou Zhenkun, who was beside him, nodded secretly.

Before coming, Zhou Zhenkun had already studied this researcher Zhao.

The reason is very simple. After he learned about this period, three of the four most popular companies in Ninghai City have direct or indirect relationships with the legendary Researcher Zhao.

If this researcher Zhao just revitalized a company, it might be luck.

But they promoted Hongda Machinery Factory, Xiangyang Machinery Factory and their own "Rongguang Co., Ltd.", which must have nothing to do with luck.

Professor Zhou really wants to know what kind of person this Researcher Zhao is, who can have such great abilities.

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang wanted to speak, Zhou Zhenkun naturally cheered up and was ready to listen to his part.

Zhao Guoyang did not notice that Professor Zhou was looking at him with interest. He spoke in his own voice: "As the water and land transportation hub in the central Jiangnan Province, Ninghai City and Guangling City have always had similar status."

"Guangling City is the gateway to the Yangtze River in the eastern part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the western part of the Lixia River, and Ninghai City is the gateway to the Yangtze River in the abdominal area of ​​the Lixia River."

"As a water transportation center, Ninghai City has formed a material distribution center in the central region of Jiangnan Province a long time ago. Its history as a water transportation center was even before Guangling City."

"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the development of production and exchange, changes in transportation conditions, and the re-division of administrative regions, Ninghai City's status in water transportation has indeed declined."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang changed the subject: "However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. It is still the water transport center in the central region of Jiangnan Province, connecting the water transport in four directions: southeast, west and north. No one can deny it."

After listening to the first story of Zhao Guoyang, Zhuo Qingfeng's face showed a look of relief.

Huang Deqiang and Ding Hai, who were sitting behind the boss, looked at each other, with a look of shock in their eyes.

Obviously, they did not expect that this young researcher Zhao would hit the key point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Indeed, both Huang Deqiang and Ding Hai knew very well about the status of Ninghai’s transportation center.

Geographically speaking, Ninghai City is not biased and is located in the middle of Jiangnan Province.

It can be said that its status as a transportation center is naturally formed, not boasted.

It’s just because it’s just a county-level city, this has been ignored.

Now Zhao Guoyang mentioned this as soon as he spoke. Obviously, he was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of Ninghai City.

Compared to Huang Deqiang and Ding Hai's surprise, Zhou Zhenkun's feelings can be described as shock.

Because he has been studying Ninghai City for a while, Professor Zhou can be said to have a good understanding of the situation in Ninghai City.

In his opinion, it is obviously a bit difficult for Researcher Zhao to get the key points in a while.

Zhou Zhenkun felt that it would be great if his speech could tell the one or two advantages of Ninghai City.

But judging from Zhao Guoyang's initial voice, he obviously came prepared.

Thinking of the humble words of Researcher Zhao before, Zhou Zhenkun became even more interested in his next story.

Zhao Guoyang didn't know what others thought.

After a moment of pause, he began his second statement.

"Convenient transportation is a necessary condition for a region to form an economic center. Another basic condition for becoming an economic center is that it should first be a commercial center, that is, the center of commodity circulation in a region."

"From the relationship between commodity circulation, as well as the bank's monetary supply and recovery relationship, almost 42% of Ninghai's purchasing power comes from other places. Such data obviously proves to a certain extent the status of Ninghai's commercial center."

Zhao Guoyang said calmly: "Maybe all leaders know that my ancestral home is actually from Jianghai County. But I can pat my chest and say, during the holidays, we Jianghai County people want to buy more high-end clothing. If you want to buy New Year's goods, your first choice is never Guangling City, but Ninghai City..."

"If Ninghai City can be upgraded to a prefecture-level city, I think its commercial center will have a greater role. It is definitely not nonsense to become another commercial center in the central region of Jiangnan Province."

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's sincere narration, even Zhuo Qingfeng nodded silently.

Indeed, Ninghai City's commercial center status is also an advantage that cannot be ignored for its upgrade to a prefecture-level city.

Speaking of which, while Ninghai City proposed to upgrade, Xingtai City, another county-level area below Guangling City, also used this idea to get the first place to get a seat.

The reason why Xingtai City dared to make this point is that their total GDP will exceed that of Ninghai City.

However, after this proposal from Xingtai City emerged, it was quickly denied.

The reason is very simple. Ninghai City's population is only a little more than one-fifth of that in Xingtai City, and it is less than 170,000.

But even so, Ninghai City's GDP throughout the year is only slightly inferior to Xingtai City.

After comparing these two hats, it is very clear which one is better or worse.

Moreover, Ninghai City’s commercial center has a very obvious status.

Whether it is Jianghai County or Xingtai City, people who buy large items will definitely go to Ninghai City to buy them.

In terms of business, only Guangling City can surpass Ninghai City in the entire Guangling City.

After listening carefully to the two points Zhao Guoyang said, Zhuo Qingfeng spoke deeply: "Guoyang, it's very well-informed! Then he said, then he said..."

Zhao Guoyang "uh" for a moment, scratching his head in a little flattered manner.

Looking at his expression, the Ninghai City leaders who had been impressed by him here realized that the President Zhao who had just talked about in front of Leader Zhuo was only twenty-five years old.

"What a hero, a young man!" Some Ninghai City leaders couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

With Zhuo Qingfeng's encouragement, Zhao Guoyang's story became more and more smooth.

He continued: "If you want to become an economic center of a region, the economic strength of the industry is the most important. Because only when the industry is developed can the regional economy be vibrant and attractive, and can maintain its position as an economic center for a longer time."

"And in this regard, it is really the advantage of our Ninghai City..."

Hearing this, Zhuo Qingfeng laughed and said, "Guoyang, you don't need to list data for us in this regard. Professor Zhou's side has long been analysing it clearly."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Qingfeng made a "please" gesture to Zhou Zhenkun and said, "Professor Zhou, please share the research data with our researcher Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenkun nodded reservedly.

Turning around, the man smiled at Zhao Guoyang and said in an orderly manner: "I fully agree with what Researcher Zhao just said. For a long time, Ninghai City's industry has a considerable scale and characteristics. And there are also a group of key enterprises to support it."

"It is no exaggeration to say that some of the flagship products in your city are well-known in our entire Jiangnan Province!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhenkun opened the notebook in front of him and told some data: "According to the data I have counted over the past six months, since 1982, Ninghai City's per capita industrial output value has been leading the entire region north of the Jiangnan Leading River."

"At that time, Ninghai City's per capita output value was second only to Tongzhou City, and higher than all counties and cities including Guangling City. It was even better than Runzhou City, south of the Yangtze River."

"In recent years, due to the rapid rise of 'Hongda Machinery Factory', 'Xiangyang Machinery Factory', 'Xialan Group', and especially 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.', the per capita output value of Ninghai City has been far ahead of the entire region north of the Yangtze River. Such strength cannot be underestimated..."

After Professor Zhou said this, Huang Deqiang, deputy director of the Provincial Political Research Office, added with a smile: "Of course, the reason why Ninghai City has such a high per capita output value is related to the small population in your city. After all, among other counties and cities, the smallest population is also two or three times that of your Ninghai City."

"This population is small, and when it comes to per capita, it will take some advantage. But it is undeniable that the achievements you have made in industry in Ninghai City in recent years are definitely remarkable."

After Professor Zhou and Director Huang finished speaking, Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "You have heard the data of Professor Zhou and Director Huang, Guoyang, have you heard it?"

Seeing Zhao Guoyang nodding slightly, Zhuo Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you can continue talking about you!"

Zhao Guoyang said "hmm" and then said: "After entering the 1990s, the relationship between economic development and science and technology has become increasingly close. The economic center of a region must also be the center of science and technology."

"From the comparison between Ninghai City and its surrounding areas, Ninghai City's technical strength is still very outstanding. In terms of science and technology and scientific information alone, Ninghai City has become another center in the central region of Jiangnan Province..."

After saying the last point, Zhao Guoyang concluded with a serious look: "To sum up, I think that Ninghai City has the foundation and conditions to become a central city below the province. Upgrading Ninghai City to a prefecture-level city as soon as possible has positive significance for Ninghai City and surrounding counties and cities!"
