Reborn Resource Tycoon

Chapter 658 An Investment of 30 Billion Yuan
Deng Zhong came very quickly, but anyone who knows the truth can understand his urgency.

Deng Zhong has been in the position of deputy secretary and deputy governor of Liao Province for ten years. If he can't make further progress in the near future, he will face the possibility of retiring to the second line.For these officials, it is natural to hope that their political life will last forever. It is best that when they meet Marx, they can still hold a high position and hold great power. Therefore, when he heard about this, Deng Zhong immediately Come to Wuye County without hesitation.

Of course, this is also because he has inherent advantages. First, he is the deputy secretary and deputy governor of the provincial party committee, so it can be said that he can speak well on both sides of the provincial party committee and the provincial government; He is the direct descendant of the secretary, and the secretary of the provincial party committee is the first high-level person in Liao Province to hear the news; thirdly, and most importantly, he can be regarded as a member of the Mei family in the capital, and the Mei family is on good terms with the Fang family. Well, the matter about Fang Mingyuan is naturally more detailed than many people in the province.Therefore, when the Mei family in Beijing called to inform him of the matter, Deng Zhong felt that he had a further chance.
It can be said that along the way, Deng Zhong has repeatedly considered the news from Wu Ye and the capital, thinking about how to gain the greatest benefit for himself during the first meeting with Fang Mingyuan.

The news of "an investment of 30 billion yuan" came back from Wuye County, like a nuclear warhead, blasting the high-level officials of Liao Province to pieces.

An investment of 30 billion yuan may not be considered a large amount in later generations. If the central government opens its hands a little, it will be a huge sum of trillions of dollars. However, in the Northeast in the early 90s, such an investment was like a long drought. Every sweet rain in general.

With the process of China's reform and opening up, when China's economy is advancing rapidly on the track of a market economy, the Northeast suddenly shows an old and weak pace, and is falling further and further behind.Compared with the glitz and prosperity of the South, the Northeast appears to be gloomy and desolate; compared to the prosperity of the people and prosperity in East China, the Northeast appears to be distressed and distressed; compared to the rapid development of North China, the Northeast appears to be faltering and embarrassing ; Even compared with the vast and deserted Northwest, this land that once created a boiling life seems a little helpless and lost.

During the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, the three northeastern provinces, as heavy industry bases, are also the three northeastern provinces with the largest concentration of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises.There are also many more bitter ones in the country.

Here is the country's first bankrupt company

Here are the cities with the most laid-off workers in the country
Here are the cities with the highest concentration of residents living in difficulties

This is also the place where officials are most serious
And not only the industry, but also the agriculture in the Northeast is facing the same embarrassment. A large backlog of traditional superior agricultural products, slow increase in farmers' income, and little improvement in agricultural economic benefits have surfaced, triggering a series of turmoil. disturbed.

All of this is in stark contrast to the South and Shanghai stock markets that are making great strides.

So the officials in the three provinces are in a hurry, not only because they do not make decisions for the people when they are officials, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, but also because they have no political achievements, what can they use to ask the central government for their own prosperity?
But no matter how urgent it is, there is no national preferential policy, no support for many projects, no huge amount of capital investment, and it is impossible to attract a large amount of foreign investment like the southeast coastal areas. The three northeastern provinces want to develop, which is very difficult. , as one can imagine.

In order to be able to attract investment, and to obtain funds and projects from the central government, the relevant officials of the three provinces have been short-sighted and frayed.

So when Qian Yue and Qi Yueming passed back the news from Wuye County, the major shareholder of Carrefour Supermarket, Fangjia, a well-known private entrepreneur in Qinxi Province, intends to invest 30 billion yuan in Liao Province, which immediately shocked the senior management of Liao Province. The investment promotion officials of Liao Province were busy last year and failed to reach a huge amount.

Moreover, these Liao Province officials are even more aware that what the Fang family can bring is not only the 30 billion yuan investment they said, but also Hong Kong and Japan.Even American investment.The extraordinary development of Qinxi Province is no secret among provincial cadres.

In the final analysis, no one can deny that it is precisely because of the close relationship between the Fang family and the Guo family in Hong Kong that the Guo family's investment in Qinxi Province has been driven, and the Guo family's investment has played a leading role in the business community in Hong Kong. Therefore, a lot of Hong Kong capital has paid attention to this province, which was originally in the inland area and has a big gap compared with the coastal area.The Fang family even brought an official investment from Japan's Sega Co., Ltd. to Qinxi Province. Although the scale of the investment is not very large, the significance it represents cannot be ignored by anyone.Exporting electronic products to Japan is a great honor for China's electronics industry-although everyone in the know knows that there is a lot of water in it, but this does not prevent the officials of Qinxi Province from considering it as their great political achievement.

If the Fang family can bring Hong Kong capital, Japanese capital, and even the attention of American capital to Liao Province, it is of great significance to the economic development of Liao Province and the achievements of officials. , who followed Deng Zhong, as well as the leaders of relevant departments, the high-level officials of Liao Province have fully reached an agreement, and they must express to the Fang family that the Liao Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government's views on this proposal As long as the request is not too excessive, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have authorized Deng Zhong to make immediate decisions

The meeting between Fang Mingyuan and Deng Zhong can be said to have been carried out in a peaceful and cheerful atmosphere.

First of all, Fang Mingyuan once again expressed to Deng Zhong that the Fang family indeed intends to invest in construction projects in Liao Province, and promised that if everything goes well, the total investment will not be less than 30 billion yuan within five years.However, it is still unclear about the specific projects of investment.However, Deng Zhong can also understand that the two people's meeting this time is just to set a big framework and development direction for the future work. The specific work will naturally be improved by relevant personnel in the future.

"Secretary Deng, to be honest, I don't know much about the policies of Liao Province. I would like to ask, if my Fang family plans to invest in the mining industry in Liao Province, are there any restrictions on the policies? Of course. , it will not be mineral resources such as gold mines and oil. Well, it is about coal mines and iron mines." Fang Mingyuan smiled.

"The Fang family plans to enter the mining industry?" Deng Zhong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fang Mingyuan to make such a request.You know, the Fang family has achieved good results in the supermarket chain industry, movie industry, and video game industry, but it has never been heard that the Fang family has investment in the mining industry.

"To be precise, it is not to enter the mining industry, but because we intend to enter the steel industry. In order to better control production costs, we will also enter the mining industry. Therefore, our goals are currently limited to coal mines and iron mines. "Fang Mingyuan's words surprised Deng Zhong again.However, in 30, the central government had a tendency to liberalize the private iron and steel industry, so Deng Zhong was not very shocked by the Fang family's intention to enter the iron and steel industry.On the contrary, he felt faintly happy. If what Fang Mingyuan said was true, then the investment of [-] billion yuan meant that he really wanted to invest in Liao Province.

Deng Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Fang, mineral resources are an important wealth of the country and an indispensable basic raw material for industrial development. The country has always attached great importance to this area. The province's foreign investment in this area Of course, they are welcome. However, the coal mines and iron mines in the province are now facing problems such as aging production equipment...haha" Deng Zhong obviously thought that Fang Mingyuan intended to acquire the existing state-owned coal mines and iron mines, so Still reminded him.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan knew that in the three northeastern provinces, both coal mines and iron mines were facing aging production equipment, miners did not pay enough attention to production safety, easy-to-mine resources were almost exhausted, production costs continued to increase, and there were many problems left over from the history of the mines, etc. blah blah blah.You know, in later generations, China's poor coal mine production safety is famous all over the world.Thousands of people die in coal mine accidents every year, making coal mining in Huaxia one of the most dangerous occupations in the world.Moreover, in places like coal mines and iron mines, the interests of all parties are intertwined and complicated. If it is really acquired, it will be a headache and a big project to just replace the production equipment and sort out the complicated internal relationships.So Deng Zhong also kindly reminded him.

"Secretary Deng, I don't intend to purchase the existing coal mines and iron mines in Liao Province, but to conduct exploration in the territory of Liao Province to find new mineral deposits." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "If it is possible, I hope to be able to Get help from relevant exploration departments in the province."

Deng Zhong couldn't help muttering again, and Fang Mingyuan's answer was beyond his expectation.The Fang family did not intend to acquire existing coal mines and iron mines, but instead planned to develop new ones. This avoided the troubles caused by acquiring existing coal mines and iron mines, but it added a lot of uncertainty.You must know that prospecting for new mineral deposits is no child's play, not only the investment is huge, but also when the output will be produced, but no one can say for sure.If it is said that after a year or two of exploration, there is still nothing, then will this investment be in vain?
Fang Mingyuan saw Deng Zhong's hesitation, and smiled and said, "Secretary Deng, it seems that I didn't make it clear, which caused your misunderstanding. As long as the new steelmaking plant is approved by the province, it must be selected for construction. Before new mineral deposits are discovered, if the construction of the steelmaking plant is completed, raw materials can also be purchased from the current coal mines and iron mines.”

Deng Zhong immediately let go of the stone in his heart. No matter what the results of the exploration were, the fact that a modern steelmaking plant could appear on the land of Liao Province would have a considerable economic boost to Liao Province.At least, the corresponding political achievements will be obtained.

Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and pulled a map of Liao Province from the table, put it in front of Deng Zhong and said, "We have even selected the factory site, here it is."

Deng Zhong looked in the direction of Fang Mingyuan's finger, and couldn't help being startled.
