Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

This is Secretary Liu’s emotional intelligence.

This is equivalent to telling Comrade Chen Keping that Xin Anguo's son not only joined the team, but also worked in the mines as a tunneling worker.

This in itself represents Xin Anguo’s personal character and revolutionary ethics!

Treat your own children and other children from ordinary families equally and never make any exceptions.

The inheritance of a family’s family tradition can be seen from the children’s education.

Sure enough, a hint of admiration flashed in Comrade Chen Keping's eyes.

After the greetings, everyone took their seats.

"Qidi, Anguo, tell me what you think of these two jobs."

In fact, Chen Keping could roughly guess their attitude without asking.

Both of them are representatives of the "stride forward" faction.

The two exchanged glances, and Xu Qidi motioned for Xin Anguo to speak first. Xin Anguo, undeterred, straightened his body and said, "Commander, I've read the report they sent over and also asked the geological survey team. They've confirmed that there is indeed high-quality bauxite in the Zhuang'an area. The buried layer is shallow, making it easy to mine and also conducive to processing."

"So from a broad perspective, it is feasible to establish a large-scale aluminum processing enterprise in Zhuang'an."

"If the aluminum ore in Zhuang'an can be successfully mined, there's hope it will fill the domestic void in non-ferrous aluminum. Aluminum is extremely important in modern construction and is used in large quantities. We currently spend a considerable amount of foreign exchange every year importing aluminum from abroad."

"According to the plan submitted by Zhuang'an, after the electrolytic aluminum project is completed and put into production, the first phase is expected to achieve an annual output of 300,000 tons. This will greatly alleviate our demand for external purchases of aluminum for some time to come."

"Their ultimate goal is to build a super aluminum plant with an annual output of one million tons."

An annual output of one million tons would have been considered a large aluminum plant even in later times, but in the 1980s, it would have been a true behemoth.

Of course, this goal must be achieved in stages and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Comrade Chen Keping nodded and said, "Then, with our current technical capabilities, can we pull it off?"

Xin Anguo shook his head and said, "It's difficult. On the one hand, the funding required is huge, at least 20 million yuan. Comrade Tai Zhengyang is here too. How much money can you, Zhennan, contribute to this project?"

Tai Zhengyang also shook his head and said, "We can't come up with much money, maybe one or two million at best, and we have to scrape it together. Zhennan's finances are among the lowest in the country..."

"Yes. Secondly, our technical level is not high enough. We can make a finished product ourselves now, but the efficiency is low, the residue is large, the energy consumption is high, and it's not cost-effective."

"So I think the proposal by Zhuang'an and Comrade Liu Hongyi to introduce foreign investment, build a factory together, and jointly develop Zhuang'an's aluminum resources is a more appropriate approach and very pragmatic."

"Although foreign investors can make some money here, they also bring us technology and investment, which is very beneficial for us to quickly expand the scale of aluminum production in the future."

"For local governments, the benefits of increasing employment and fiscal revenue are obvious."

"It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Chen Keping asked, "So, which foreign company do you want to cooperate with? Do you have a target?"

Xin Anguo looked at Liu Hongyi.

Liu Hongyi bowed and said, "Commander, I've already been looking for clients interested in investing in our country through Qinghua Technology Development Corporation and the Chuzhou Foreign Trade and Economic Commission... Currently, there are three foreign clients who are particularly interested."

"One is from Gaul, contacted by Professor Li Hanmei from Singapore. One is from Eagle Country, contacted by Kenichi Aoki from the island nation. The other is from the Middle East, contacted by Qinghua Technology Development Corporation."

"In terms of financial resources, they all have no problems. Technically, Gaul and Eagle seem to be superior. However, guests from the Middle East are likely to offer more favorable terms."
