Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"Commissioner Xie, I was just about to tell you about this! The introduction of Zhiyuan Company as the first batch of pilots was discussed above. You may not know much about Zhiyuan. This is a Xiangjiang company that has been in the sight of high-level officials many times." Xu Guomin explained.

Xie Yulin also chuckled and said: "This will put us at ease, Secretary Yongping, this is a "wearing a hat" project, so don't mess it up..."

Xu Guomin also smiled and said: "It's not just a "hat-wearing" project. Yang Mo, the boss of Zhiyuan Group, is rumored to be miraculous. The petrochemical equipment research project being led by the Ministry of Machinery was single-handedly promoted by Yang Mo. It's really a big deal! "

Tang Yongping did not forget what he was here to do, and immediately answered: "Secretary Xu, Commissioner Xie, Zhiyuan is now looking down on the Hongzhuling and Shekou Wharf land, and wants to take over Dachan Island, including the opposite Mawan, Guiwan and Qianwan were all taken over. All these plots added up to 2000 acres of land! Three pieces of industrial land in Xin'an County are being promoted at the same time. Just improving water, electricity, and road infrastructure requires A large sum of money is being spent, but the finances are stretched thin. Can the city consider allocating some special funds for the construction of infrastructure and living facilities in the industrial park..."

Xu Guomin and Xie Yulin looked at each other and smiled: "Haha... Secretary Yongping, are you here in the name of reporting?"

Tang Yongping smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Xu, you also know that the total fiscal revenue of Xin'an County is only a little. Now it has to open three industrial parks at once, receive foreign businessmen, and the county guesthouse has to be renovated. Spending money every day is like running water. , we have misappropriated all the teachers’ salaries, and the next money for road construction will have to be deducted from the salaries of various government agencies..."

Xu Guomin sighed: "Secretary Yongping, it's not just your Xin'an County that is in trouble, it's not easy anywhere. The country needs to develop, the people need to have enough to eat, and the children need to study... Everywhere is a place to spend money, but here we are. When it comes to fiscal revenue, everyone is demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall. Don’t worry, Xin’an County is one of the first pilot areas to introduce foreign investment. The state has specially approved special funds, which will be released soon, but the Xin’an County Party Committee cannot Wait for the rice to arrive before cooking. You can go to various banks to make alms first..."

Tang Yongping shook his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "President Sun of the Chengguan Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China, when he sees me now, he is hiding from the god of plague. He walks around me as if I am Huang Shiren. After finally catching him once, the bitter water poured out is worse than Yang Bailai is still suffering..."

Xie Yulin also laughed and said: "It seems that Secretary Xu and I are not the only ones who are afraid of you. You are going to go to the prefectural committee office to ask for funds for projects. Why don't you, President Sun, just give in?"

Xu Guomin pondered for a while and then said: "Let's do this! Let's think of a way together. The city will squeeze out some of the emergency response for you. You can talk to President Sun when you go back. You can think of a way! For example, promise to wait for some special funds to arrive. Not only does it give priority to repaying the Agricultural Bank of China, but it also puts the money directly on the Agricultural Bank of China's account..."

Tang Yongping chuckled and said, "Secretary Xu, how much is this special fund?"

Xu Guomin: "If you don't say this, can President Sun still settle the score with you?"

"Yes, yes...if he wants to settle the accounts, let him go to the superiors. The agreed amount has changed." Tang Yongping also laughed.

"Old Tang! Does Zhiyuan still insist on setting up a wholly-owned steel company? Can you talk to them about setting up a joint venture with Langdu Steel Plant? Langdu Steel Plant is also a large factory with thousands of people..." Xie Yulin asked thoughtfully.

He really wants to keep Zhiyuan Steel Company in Langdu. As the regional administrative commissioner, he is aware of the policy trends above. Xin'an has been removed from the county and established as a city in just a few days. The "daughter" of Xin'an County has a unique geographical location. Advantages: After being separated from Langdu, rapid development is a high probability event. As a former superior prefecture-level city, Langdu will not look good if it is pulled too far!

Xu Guomin smiled bitterly and said: "Commissioner Xie, I'm afraid this matter is not up to us. Negotiation teams from the Metallurgical Department and the Ministry of Metallurgy of Eastern Guangdong Province have arrived in Xin'an in the past two days to negotiate with Zhiyuan about the joint steel plant. The Eastern Guangdong Provincial Party Committee's Comrades only accompany me throughout the whole process and only have the right to make suggestions but not decisions!”

Two days later, a negotiation team led by Liao Tingxuan, deputy director of the Planning Department of the Ministry of Metallurgy, arrived in Xin'an County, accompanied by Huang Yi, deputy director of the Metallurgical Department of Eastern Guangdong Province.

Chen Rongchang and Luo Binghui also used these few days to visit some machinery factories and steel plants in eastern Guangdong Province. Chen Rongchang shook his head after seeing them.

On the other hand, Luo Binghui watched with relish. Perhaps due to the influence of Yang Mo, what Luo Binghui paid attention to was not their open-hearth blast furnaces, cold rolling and hot rolling equipment, nor the accuracy of machine tools, milling machines, and boring machines, but the operating level of the master workers. Their hands Wearing thick calluses and sweat-soaked work clothes, this is the soul of a metallurgical and machinery enterprise.

In fact, in the near future, what will make China's manufacturing world-renowned is not its increasingly advanced machinery and equipment, but the advantages of tens of millions of skilled workers and engineers. They are the foundation for this country's rise.

The negotiations for the joint venture steel plant were extremely unsatisfactory. As soon as Luo Binghui proposed his intention to establish a wholly-owned steel company, he was categorically rejected by Liao Tingxuan: "Mr. Luo, the metallurgical field is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The mainland government has no plans to open up to foreign-funded enterprises in the short term. , this article is the basis for us to sit down and negotiate, and other aspects can be discussed..."

Luo Binghui smiled and said: "Director Liao, don't worry! We Zhiyuan also took into account the concerns of the mainland government, and after emergency consultations at the shareholders' meeting, we also made sincere concessions!"

"Oh? What specific concessions are there?" Huang Yi asked curiously.

Luo Binghui learned this from Yang Mo in Hannover. He brought the opponent into his own thoughts from the beginning, and then slowly threw out the bait step by step.

Luo Binghui deliberately kept it secret for a while before saying: "In order to ensure that the interests of domestic steel companies are not harmed, Zhiyuan Steel Company can promise that it will not get involved in crude steel production within five years."

"You don't produce crude steel? Then what do you produce?" Huang Yi almost blurted out.

Luo Binghui said calmly: "Considering that Zhiyuan has advanced metallurgical equipment and heat treatment technology, it will inevitably significantly reduce the production cost of crude steel. This may make some large-scale metallurgical enterprises in the mainland unable to adapt to the sudden addition of such a powerful company. For opponents, five years is to give them an early adaptation period..."

Without waiting for Liao Tingxuan to reply, Luo Binghui talked eloquently: "Director Huang asked this question very well. What does the steel plant produce if it does not produce crude steel? Zhiyuan Group's investment in Xin'an is expected to reach hundreds of millions of dollars in the future, all of which are from various companies. This kind of machinery and equipment enterprise will use a large amount of high-quality steel, which is why we insist on establishing a wholly-owned steel company..."
