Jihe County is located in the northeast of Qinghe City, only 50 or 60 kilometers away from the city. Chen Huai and his friends got off the train. It was just dark and they arrived in Jihe County at 8 o'clock at night.

Chen Huai and the others had nothing to eat on the train, and they were already hungry at this time. Fortunately, Ji Chengxi had asked someone to prepare a banquet at the county guesthouse.

In Jihe County, in addition to a deputy county magistrate, the director of the county party committee office and Ji Chengxi's secretary, Yu Wenfei, the president of Jingrui Group who met in Yanjing last year, also rushed over from the city.

Last time he flew back to China with Cheng Yi, he had a very unhappy relationship with Liu Fulong, but Chen Huai also had some understanding of the background of Qinghe City. He knew that Yu Wenfei was the deputy secretary of the Qinghe Municipal Party Committee and the mayor Liu Chuandong. Because of this relationship, Yu Wenli and Liu Chuandong's son Liu Fulong maintained a lover relationship. Moreover, the smuggling case that Ji Chengxi was going to investigate in Jihe was likely to involve both Liu Chuandong and Jingrui Group.

As an outsider, Chen Huai was naturally not very clear about what kind of struggles happened in the officialdom in Qinghe City this year, but he did not expect that Yu Wenfei and Ji Chengxi were so close. He thought to himself: This is probably a direct factor in Yu Wenli's breakup with Liu Fulong?

There is almost one characteristic of guesthouses in many places across the country, which is that they don’t look very luxurious on the outside, but when you stop, you will see the deep forest inside, the elegant halls and pavilions. Whether it is food or housing, the environment can be said to be extremely superior.

Yu Wenfei and the others rushed over. Chen Huai looked at the middle-aged man who had seen him in a hurry last year but did not leave a deep impression on him. He thought that he was turning around quickly by driving the boat. He didn't think there were too many handles for Liu Chuandong to hold in his hand. He should be a smart person.

Chen Huai shook hands with Yu Wenfei and greeted him. He had no good feelings for Yu, but he also knew that what Ji Chengxi wanted to do in the local area must compromise with local forces to a certain extent, and choose to win over and divide them. It is the same as his way of winning over the Zhou family in Meixi and supporting Chu Yiliang, Zhu Li, Yang Haipeng and others.

All things must be done together, and no one can really say that they have stepped on everyone else.

Qinghe was more bold and unrestrained in drinking. Ji Chengxi was afraid that Chen Huai would not be able to adapt to the drinking atmosphere of Hebei Province after working for a long time. The waiter brought the wine list and asked Chen Huai to decide: "The host will follow the guests. You can decide what wine to drink and how to drink it."

"When you get there, you drink the local wine. Today we drink Qinghe Daqu. Drinking a lot is also supporting local enterprises," Chen Huai said. "But I know that drinking here is more fierce. I have to give up first. We only have three cups of white wine. If anyone can drink it again next, we will change beer..."

Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, but wine is also a catalyst that can make people put too much alert in the officialdom.

Tan Jun looked at the glass in front of him and talked; Ji Chengxi knew that they wanted to open up the conversation and had to eat these three or four cups of white wine, so he asked the waiter to nod his head and take Qinghe Daqu up.

Yu Wenfei stood up and helped open the bottle and pour wine, and also looked at Chen Huai in secret.

When he met in Yanjing last time, he had a bad relationship with Ji Chengxi. Chen Huai and Song Hongjun ignored him at that time. They had a short meal and had no chance to have more in-depth contact.

Regarding Chen Huai, Yu Wenfei only knew that he was the descendant of the Song family of the political wealthy family, and was the prospective son-in-law of Cheng Wenguang, deputy secretary of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee. Apart from that, he didn't know more information. It was because he got closer to Ji Chengxi and saw that Ji Chengxi had been paying attention to Meixi's industrial development model. He had some understanding of Chen Huai, a young child from a famous family.

After three or four taels of white wine, the atmosphere at the table became harmonious. However, no matter how lively the crowd was, there was too much talk at the table, and there was no talk of shouting and urging people to drink and greetings.

After drinking, Ji Chengxi asked the other accompanying officials to leave first, leaving Yu Wenfei to accompany him to drink tea and relieve the wine, and then turned the topic to regional economic development.

Jihe County's economy is average, with a certain salt chemical industry foundation, average mineral resources, good port resources suitable for building seaports, and geographically close to the southern Shanxi region where coal-produced is available.

As early as the 1980s, the country considered building a large seaport in Jihe County and using railways to communicate the Jihe River port with the southern Shanxi region. Outside the Daqin Line, it formed a southern channel for Shanxi coal to exit the east.

Ji Chengxi jumped from the General Office of the State Council to Jihe as the county party secretary, which saw this background. In addition to being prone to political achievements, the formation of the Jin coal east-to-south channel will inevitably gather forces from many aspects to form a cluster of forces with strong cohesion, which will inevitably strengthen the basic structure of the Ji system.

After Ji Chengxi arrived in Jihe County, in addition to adjusting local relations, one of the main things he did was to promote the eastward passage of Shanxi coal to make a prototype as soon as possible, but many things were more difficult than expected.

The model of the east-to-south channel of Shanxi Coal is very simple to say, it is railway plus seaport.

The relevant planning, survey and design work were done almost the same before Ji Chengxi took office, but it was not until Ji Chengxi took office that the internal environment seemed to be a little mature.

Of course, having ideas is one thing. To truly implement it, in addition to the maturity of the internal and external environment, it also requires strong driving force and action in all aspects to push the whole thing forward. Otherwise, even if the power of the diary system is incapable of going against the trend.

To initially form a coal output capacity of 20 million tons, railways and seaport construction investment will require at least 30 billion yuan; to finally build a coal output capacity of 100 million tons or even higher, the construction funds required are even more amazing.

Now the construction funds directly allocated by the state ministries and commissions are quite limited, and they are facing a situation where many monks and everyone is rushing to compete. Even if Ji Chengxi has the halo of the Ji family, so far, the allocations that can be directly attracted from the state ministries and commissions are only 200 million yuan.

Such funds are already huge compared to the county finance, and it can be seen that Ji Chengxi, as the county party secretary, has a huge ability, but compared with the large plate of the entire Jinhe Line, there is a huge gap, so Ji Chengxi can only do everything possible to win over all forces from all walks of life to participate in the construction of the Jinhe Line in the southern line channel.

Although the domestic economy has continued to grow rapidly in recent years, and the power supply in the southeast coast has been very tight, and thermal power plants are constantly under construction, coal for thermal power in East China and South China has long relied on coal resources exported by the Daqin Line from the northern Shanxi region.

This long-term pattern has itself produced a strong xenophobic cohesion: First, within Shanxi Province, Northern coal suppressed the development of Southern coal; within the railway system, Northern Railway Bureau suppressed the Central Plains Railway Bureau and seized resources to build a heavy-duty train project on the Daqin Line; although coal is tight in thermal power plants in East China and South China, the interests are also more tied to the Daqin Line, and they do not want to cause trouble before they can't see greater benefits.

Under this interest pattern, from ministries and commissions to related coal-fired power companies, no one intends to participate in the construction of the Shanxi Coal East Pipeline Channel.

As for local areas, coal companies in southern Shanxi naturally aspire to build southern routes, but coal prices have been suppressed for a long time in China, and coal companies in southern Shanxi are mostly scattered to local governments and their forces are scattered.

This coal transportation channel, except for the construction of a port in Jihe County, benefiting the most as the coal resource output point, has little effect on the economic pulling of other areas in southern Hebei. In fact, there is not much motivation to build a southern route within Hebei Province. Specifically, in order to prevent Ji Chengxi from gaining too much power, he even secretly pulled Ji's back.

For more than a year, Ji Chengxi has been doing all his strength to promote the construction of the Shanxi Coal East Exit South Line as soon as possible, but he has also encountered too many difficulties.

Drinking tea and quenching wine, Ji Chengxi told Chen Huai and Chen Huai about the preparations for the Jinhe Line and Jihe Port in the east-end southern route of Jinhe Line and the Jihe Port, and said with a smile: "In the State Council, I have never thought how difficult it would be to promote this matter. I thought that the whole thing is beneficial to the state and the local area, which should be a natural thing. But when I actually went to the local area and came into contact with local affairs, I realized the complexity of the inside. At this time, I especially felt that the achievements you made in Donghua were really not easy. I stopped you from halfway and asked to come to Jihe, which means I wanted to ask you to provide advice on the construction of the southern route..."

Chen Huai shook his head and smiled, saying, "What can I do to help you? Are you focusing on Huai Neng?"

Ji Chengxi laughed. People who are wise don’t tell secret things, but they are all smart people. If you tell me the story, you will reveal your tail. It is impossible for other intentions to cover up.

Seeing that Ji Chengxi did not deny it, Chen Huai sighed lightly: "The southern route from Jin coal east is a good thing that is far more beneficial than disadvantages to the country as a whole. Unfortunately, the motivation in all aspects is insufficient. Huai Neng is still very weak now. In order to invest in the development of Yushan Hydropower, it has to open the second phase of the Meixi Power Plant and introduce other funds to participate in the construction. Even if it is powerful, it is the remaining effort to contribute to the construction of the Hebei Port."

Traditional coal-fired power companies have strong interests tied to the Daqin Line. Huaineng has just been established and its strength is still very weak. However, because Huaineng has just been established and has no direct interests with the Daqin Line, it is most likely to jump out and participate in the construction of the southern route of the Jihe Port and Jinhe Line.

In addition to this, Ji Chengxi also felt that Huai Energy was likely to be the basic foundation for the future key construction of the Song Dynasty. It seemed that its strength was still very weak, but as long as the Song Dynasty was determined to strengthen Huai Energy and use the Song Dynasty's foundation in the Ministry of Electric Power, Huai Energy could be called to grow rapidly, and at the same time, it could also cause the Ministry of Electric Power to change its attitude towards the Jinhe Line.

However, Ji Chengxi had already expected Chen Huai's restrained attitude.

Generally speaking, the Jin coal exits the south line channel is the basic foundation that the Ji Group will grasp in the future. The Song Group cannot give priority to participating in the construction of the Ji River Port. This is also the reason why Ji Chengxi has never contacted Huaineng before.

It was also Mei Gang and Huaineng who accidentally let go of their interests in Meixi after the New Year. During the Spring Festival, Chen Huai lived in the UK mysteriously for such a long time. Ji Chengxi's consciousness may have some changes that he did not expect. After Shen Huai returned to China, he urgently asked Tan Jun to rush to the train station to intercept Chen Huai.
