Is it possible for Neijiang and Zigong to merge?

At present, it is impossible!

1. The conditions required for the merger: Everyone knows this very well, and it needs to be approved by Sichuan Province and the State Council. The various relationships and factors in the process are too intricate, and the talents are sparse and the knowledge is shallow, so I will not go through them one by one. I won’t go into details, but this seems to be very difficult at the moment.

Of course, if the leader really wants to achieve something political and move around, then an iron pestle can be ground into a needle, right? However, it is unclear whether the province has this intention. After all, the merger will steal the limelight from Chengdu Province.

2. The real benefits that need to be obtained from the merger: ①The entire land of Neijiang and Zigong; (If Jianyang is really successfully merged into Chengdu, I don’t know how Chengdu will deal with Ziyang. If the province directly manages it, it can Anyue is included, and the area is expected to be about 10,000 square kilometers, which is basically the same size as Luzhou and Yibin) ② Higher administrative treatment: It is estimated that it is more difficult to designate a city under separate planning, but the administrative level of a prefecture-level city alone has a huge impact on population, The attraction of investment and business is obviously insufficient, and a higher administrative level and more favorable local policies than the prefecture level are needed.

3. Advantages after the merger: First, in terms of urban development, it can mainly integrate the transportation of Neijiang and Zigong to form a metropolitan area. Neijiang and Zigong will break down the barriers of administrative divisions and start from the opposite direction now. The development turned into mutual development, and new districts were established at the junction of the two cities (Lingjia and Dashanpu). After a certain period of time, you can complete the city integration. Second, in terms of urban transportation, the Neijiang and Zigong express corridors will be constructed to form twin cities. (Some people ask whether this is possible. Look at Taizhou. It’s OK even if the three districts are so far apart. Why not?) And the third airport in Chengdu and Chongqing has been established at the junction of Neijiang and Zigong (Neizi Airport, part of the province’s 13th Five-Year Plan It has been reserved above) Third, in terms of competitiveness, it can immediately become the second largest city in Sichuan. The gap between the total GDP and the more developed cities in the west such as Liuzhou and Yichang is small. Foreign investment, land use indicators, etc. will produce 1 +1 2 effects, a city with a GDP of 2-3k billion, why worry about attracting high-end consumption such as fast fashion and coffee that netizens in both places have long awaited?

4. The current problems with the merger: First, netizens in both places are afraid of losing the market. I think it is unnecessary. Is it better to become a city that is stronger and well-known throughout the country than two cities that continue to decline and remain unknown? Which two cities are better? Second, it is really difficult to name. The first method is to choose one of the current city names. When combined, only "Gongjiang City", which is hotly discussed by netizens, sounds better. However, in my humble opinion, the Tuojiang River roars eastward in the two cities, and Tuozhou The city is also OK.

I am from Fushun, Zigong! Can the two cities merge and how? It doesn’t matter what we said! If not merged, it will still be the same! If merged, it will be another scene! If it really merges one day, I want to give it a name! I think the merger of two prefecture-level cities can no longer be called a "city", but it is not a "province" either! I think it should be called "state"! Then I chose two names for your reference: one is "Longjiangzhou"! The dragon of the "dinosaur" of Zhanzigong and the "jiang" of Neijiang respectively! This name is domineering, and it combines with the five elements to create and restrain! The dragon is in the middle of the river, and behind the river is the state - "zhou"! Besides, the two cities use Tuojiang River as a connecting link, and "Longjiang" coincides with Tuojiang River! The second one is called "Yanjiang Prefecture"! Salt—Zigong’s historical main product! Jiang——It’s still the “jiang” of Neijiang! Rewards from all the masters!

The best way is to dismember Neijiang and Zigong. Fushun County of Zigong will return to Yibin, Rong County will return to Leshan, and Zigong City will form a separate county-level city with expanded powers, directly under the provincial government. Straight pipe. The same is true for Neijiang. In this way, there are Yibin, Luzhou and Leshan in southern Sichuan, and several large cities will also reduce hierarchical consumption. This will be beneficial to Fushun, Rongxian, Zigong urban area, and Neijiang. If they continue to exist alone, they will only suffer Affected by the siphon effect of the surrounding Yibin, Luzhou and Meishan, there is increasingly no development prospect and more and more backwardness.

The first step is to divide Weiyuan into Zigong, which is conducive to environmental protection, because the upstream of Fuxi River, the mother river of Zigong, is the Weiyuan River; it is conducive to the urban development of Zigong and Weiyuan, and Zigong can go north Development, it will take several years to connect with Weiyuan County; it is conducive to the travel of Weiyuan people. Now Weiyuan is marginalized in Neijiang and is not the focus of Neijiang's development. For example, transportation is far away from Neijiang and close to Zigong. If it is included in Zigong, It is expected that city buses will be opened; it will benefit Weiyuan people. For example, more people in Weiyuan are currently employed and seek medical treatment in Zigong than in Neijiang; the living habits of Weiyuan people are closer to those of Zigong people.

Dabennew said that he has not heard any news about the merger of Neijiang and Zigong, and personally thinks that the possibility of merger is extremely small.

From a utilitarian point of view, administrative approval procedures and leadership team integration are very difficult.

Secondly, from a personal point of view, I don’t want you to merge the 20%. Zigong’s lantern festival and Jingyan have been famous for a long time and have the reputation of being the hometown of dinosaurs. Neijiang has a long history and is a fortress of Bashu. Once you feel it personally, you will lose a lot of historical flavor.

Secondly, learn from the example of university mergers. After the merger of many universities, some of the characteristics of the schools gradually disappeared, and there was no effect of one plus one being greater than two.

In the end, economic growth and social development are what the people care about. From my personal point of view, this cannot be changed by merging one city and one place. The key is to change concepts and break down barriers. Today, driven by e-commerce, commodity trade is no longer blocked by administrative barriers. Therefore, how to prosper regional industrial, financial, service and other industries is the key. In this regard, we must learn more from Zhejiang and implement the concept of "small government, big enterprise" The concept is that the government serves enterprises and promotes enterprise development.

Personal opinion, don’t criticize if you don’t like it.

With the development of countries and cities, everything that cities once had, including region, culture, and economy, can no longer meet the needs of current urban development. In recent times, there have been endless articles about the merger of a certain city with a certain city, which will surpass the certain city. Please see

① The three cities with the highest demand for mergers in my country can rival Shanghai if they are directly under the jurisdiction!

②The cities that are most likely to be merged in our country in the next 10 years are actually these 6

③The two cities that are most likely to be merged in our country,

will surpass Shanghai after the merger Becoming a megacity in my country

......

It is a fact that we all recognize that my country's urban development is uneven. So regarding the title of "the land of Bashu and the land of abundance", In resource-rich Sichuan, which cities have such potential? After the merger, we can reach a higher level~ Some people say it is the merger of Deyang and Mianyang, some people say it is the merger of Chengdu and Chongqing, some people say the merger of Luzhou and Yibin...

So if we merge Zigong and Neijiang After annexation,

What kind of sparks will there be?

Let’s take a closer look at these two cities.

A city: Zigong City

The City of Salt, Dragons, Lanterns and Food:

Zigong is the "Millennium Salt City", "Hometown of Dinosaurs", and "my country's Lantern City" "House of Food" was approved as a national old industrial city demonstration zone in 2017.

In modern times and in the past, Zigong was home to wealthy businessmen due to its well salt production. It was once one of the richest cities in my country, and it was also the city with the highest amount of donations in the country during the Anti-Japanese War. It is recorded in the Kuomintang military records. "Give me back my rivers and mountains" on the north bank of the Fuxi River was inscribed by Feng Yuxiang, a famous general of the Kuomintang, who donated money to wealthy businessmen. Zigong City is the first place in the world to develop and utilize natural gas, and the earliest provincial municipality and industrial town in Sichuan Province.

A city: Neijiang City

The capital of sweet orange and sweet city:

Neijiang "Sweet City" is the main national highway transportation hub planned by the Ministry of Transport. 1. It is the second largest transportation hub in Sichuan Province and an important intersection of southwest land transportation. It is the central city of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone and is known as the "Throat of Southern Sichuan" and the "Fortress of Bashu".

Neijiang is not only an old industrial base in Sichuan, but also a supporting base and non-staple food supply base for pillar industries in Chongqing and Chengdu. Pillar industries such as vanadium and titanium steel, food and beverages, and machinery and auto parts have begun to form.

After briefly looking at these two cities,

Some people will still ask, is it necessary to merge these two cities?

Let’s take a look at their similarities first

NO1: Zigong and Neijiang are both old industrial cities. Whether it is Zigong’s National Old Industrial City Demonstration Base or Neijiang’s Sichuan The old industrial bases and the two cities of Zigong Neijiang have their own unique characteristics in the old industrial area, and they are all undergoing transformation of old industries to help the development of urban economic construction.

NO2: Zigong and Neijiang are both in the southern Sichuan high-speed rail circle, focusing on transportation, and the Tuojiang waterway is being renovated together.

NO3: Zigong Neijiang is the hometown of gourmet food. Whether it is Zigong’s cold rabbit, fresh pot rabbit, roast beef, or Neijiang’s Zizhong catfish, Yong’an white mullet, and beef noodles, they are all delicious. It has become another characteristic business card of the two cities.

There are many differences,

which can be combined and sublimated to achieve better results.

Industry

Neijiang is accelerating the construction of a comprehensive utilization base for vanadium and titanium resources in the west, my country's circulating fluidized bed power plant energy conservation and environmental protection demonstration base, my country's "urban mineral deposits" demonstration base, my country's automobile (motorcycle) automobile) parts manufacturing base and the western electronic information industry supporting base.

The main force in Zigong is the transformation and upgrading of old industries, with traditional industries such as machinery, salt and salt chemicals, and food processing accelerating the adjustment and transformation. Three projects have been included in the provincial key military industry projects, and many enterprises have become direct suppliers of military products. Zigong is listed as a gathering area for military-civilian integration development in the province.

In terms of industrial transformation and new industry acceleration, although they are following different paths, if they merge, they will be complementary in industry and their development status cannot be underestimated.

Transportation

As mentioned earlier, high-speed rail projects are under construction in Neijiang and Zigong. The Neijiang high-speed rail station is now put into use, and the Zigong section of the South Sichuan Intercity Railway is under construction. It is worth mentioning that Zigong is currently building an aviation industrial park, and the Tuojiang waterway in Neijiang has been in operation. After the merger, the two places will have high-speed rail, airports and shipping, which will greatly expand the transportation capabilities of Zigong and Inland. .

History

There are many overlaps in the history of the establishment of the two cities, and The two places are not far apart, so the difficulty of annexation is far less than that of other cities and states.

The above points are only partial concepts. From this point of view, the merger of Neijiang and Zigong seems to be unreasonable~

Ahem, friends from Zigong and Neijiang, are you ready? If merger and development is really expected, would you be willing? What's a good name?

I woke up from a dream last night and said that Tan Weiwei (Zigong) and Daolang (Neijiang) attended the Spring Festival Gala together, and they sang "the same song."

The train ticket from Zigong to Neijiang originally cost 80 cents. The distance is closer than the distance from east to west or north to south in many big cities. Whether to merge or not is a matter for experts. The common people will not change, only the interests of those with power will change. Ordinary people are like Buddhas.

It is unlikely that the two places will merge, but there is only one most important reason. First of all, the leaders of the two places were unwilling to merge. Now the leader of each city has his own land, and he is the overlord here. Who will be the "overlord" after the merger? After the merger, the geographical expansion has expanded, and it is possible that all management personnel will be replaced to increase management efforts. Many people have no place to be overlords. .

The merger of Neijiang and Zigong has been going on for several years. There are loud calls but little support. The regional planning is approved by the State Council’s comprehensive assessment study decision, and is submitted to the State Council for approval by the provincial and municipal people’s governments. It is not you or me who have the final say. , the provincial and municipal people's governments do not have this power, and the provincial and municipal people's governments must submit the city name to the State Council for approval. If Zigong Neijiang is merged and renamed Jiangzhou City or Sichuan City, Sichuan City will be more domineering, heroic, and noble. The city has merged with many counties and cities, the territory is rich and vast, the population is large, and the economic construction has experienced rapid development. In addition to Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, Neijiang Zigong has merged into the giant city of southern Sichuan. It is unknown whether the provinces and cities will submit it to the State Council for approval? Whether the State Council will approve it or not is still unknown.
