Investment Life

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yuanming brought Song Kaiwen to the office building of the Municipal Party Committee and held a face-to-face negotiation meeting at the invitation of Secretary Yang.This time, because he was too hasty to go home, he has not met with the main leaders of the city so far, so this interview is naturally very important.

As soon as the car drove downstairs, Secretary-General Wan greeted him and extended his right hand kindly, "Secretary Yang went to a meeting in the province two days ago, and made Chen Dongjiu wait."

"Where is it?" Chen Yuanming shook his hand back, "Secretary Yang is busy with business, so I am flattered to be able to arrange a time for a meeting so quickly."

"Haha, Chairman Chen is serious."

The two laughed and walked upstairs hand in hand.

Today, the buildings of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government were built in the 5s and 6s. They belong to old-fashioned Soviet buildings. There is no doubt that they are strong, but the furnishings and structures inside are really simple.The so-called officials do not repair the government office. For the highly mobile city government team, spending money and energy to repair the office building is nothing but the service of the successor, so few people are stupid enough to toss about this "problem of face" , so that the government building has always maintained a clean and dignified appearance.

Secretary Yang's office is in the northwest corner of the 5th floor. From the outside, it looks like the most ordinary lacquered door panel without any decoration such as door frame edging, but after opening the door, the furnishings inside show the mayor of a city style.The office area is very large, and it is still a suite structure. There is no shortage of leather sofas, wooden coffee tables, and large desks. However, there are no luxuries such as decorations. There was a lean and down-to-earth atmosphere in the atmosphere, and it could be seen that the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee was a person who was willing to do practical things.

"Oh? Xiao Chen is here." Looking up from the pile of documents, Secretary Yang stood up with a smile and greeted him personally.

Chen Yuanming stepped a little faster, and stepped forward to hold Secretary Yang's hand, "The group was busy in the first half of the year, and I really couldn't get out, and I just rushed back to the city recently, and I would like to thank the secretary for taking care of us Yuanyang these days. "

"Haha, Xiao Chen, you are too modest." Secretary Yang shook his head with a smile, "Creating an excellent investment environment is the job of us government officials. Now the city is full of waste, and Lai Yuanyang is so qualified A socially responsible company fully supports it.”

The tone of the meeting was basically set after the singing and harmony, and both parties sat down with friendly smiles.The main purpose of this meeting is still the mineral development project that Yuanyang is going to carry out. Since the country has expressly stipulated that foreign investment in the same project shall not exceed 1 million US dollars, and the establishment of a large-scale mine with a complete system is only a matter of land purchase and mining license. It's not a small amount.At the same time, because it is a real rare metal mining, it is impossible for the relevant departments to ignore it. A joint venture with the local government is the only way.

But the biggest problem now is still the lack of finances. Even if the shares are invested in the form of resources, the mine's funding gap is still very large.Yuanyang Fund does not want to spend a lot of money to marry others, so it is bound to increase the amount of capital investment, at least to make itself the actual controlling shareholder of the mine.With the superimposition of hatchbacks, what needs to be overcome is not only the existing investment environment problems, but also efforts to communicate with relevant ministries and commissions such as the Provincial Party Committee and the Ministry of Land and Resources to solve current policy issues.

"This time I went to the province and communicated with Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee."

After two rounds of pleasantries, the topic turned to the essence. Secretary Yang put his hands on his knees casually, and said seriously, "Now there are restrictions on national policies, but special events still need to be handled specially. This time, Yuanyang's action is huge and significant. , is related to the economic development of our city in the next ten years, and it is worthy of careful study by the Standing Committee. According to Secretary Wang, Yuanyang cannot be treated as a purely foreign-funded enterprise. There are still too few rich people in construction, so we can’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm.”

To be honest, Chen Yuanming didn't take this kind of official talk very seriously, but according to Secretary Yang, the investment quota seemed to be loosened?Smiling slightly, he took a stack of documents from Song Kaiwen and handed them to Secretary Yang with both hands.

"We can rest assured that the province and city can support Yuanyang's work. This is Yuanyang Mining's preparatory plan. We have signed an agreement with the Swedish Sandvik company. Core equipment such as mine blasting, crushing and screening are all Rely on imports, maximize the use of the complex mine veins in western Henan, and increase the utilization rate of tailings. The construction of the tailings dam also adopts international advanced technology, which is currently under investigation and planning. If the project goes well, it can greatly reduce the environmental impact. pollution and achieve sustainable development of resources.”

Secretary Yang took the document and glanced at it briefly, "Has environmental protection been included as a priority? If so, the investment quota will increase a lot, right?"

It is not surprising to have this question. Now which foreign-funded enterprises are not high in pollution and high energy consumption, it is the general trend to exchange the environment and resources for economic development. Yuanyang makes great efforts in these aspects, and it is not just a matter of investment quota.

The smile on Chen Yuanming's face has not changed, "After all, he is a native of his hometown, and the development of the economy must also consider future generations. According to Yuanyang's current estimates, the equipment and construction investment may need 2 million U.S. dollars, and other expenses are 1.5-2 million U.S. dollars It is still difficult to say about follow-up investment.”

"About 4 million US dollars..." Secretary Yang fell into deep thought. This is a huge investment of 3 million yuan. If the city wants to maintain its shareholding ratio, it may not be enough to rely on minerals alone, but let them pay for it. And there is really no energy left.It's good that he just transferred to this city, but he is concerned about the economic development of the city. In the past two years, more than a hundred state-owned enterprises in the city have more or less faced losses. Quite difficult, let alone investing in new industries.

Chen Yuanming is not completely ignorant of Secretary Yang's concerns, but the topic must continue, "Of course, the mining industry itself is not our ultimate goal, and the international molybdenum price is not high now. We are only exporting raw ore or semi-finished products, which obviously outweighs the gains. Our What is needed is the joint efforts of different industries in the city to form a new type of heavy industry city with high-tech products as the core. At present, the country's research on molybdenum metal can only be regarded as the initial stage, but this metal is very important for many industries in the future, especially aviation, Aerospace and other aspects are of great significance, it should not only be used as a steel smelting ingredient, how to develop its other value is the key.”

"Well, Xiao Chen, I can understand your thoughts, but there are also difficulties in the city." Secretary Yang finally put down the documents in his hand, and gently pinched the bridge of his nose, "The transformation of state-owned enterprises is always a difficult point, who doesn't know The transformation is good, but after the transformation, streamlining the burden is the key point. The city has too many concerns in this regard. Even if it opens a high-tech development zone, it is still counting on the kind of processing enterprises, whether it is digesting labor or exporting foreign exchange. It can solve big problems. Really high-tech... The investment is too large, the output is too slow, the risk is often higher than the city government's expectations, and there are still many difficulties in implementing it..."

These words sounded like prevarication, but Chen Yuanming knew from the bottom of his heart that this was indeed the biggest difficulty facing Secretary Yang.In this era, if you want to revitalize a high-tech city, seven or eight years are essential.However, as local officials, the term of office is only five years, and most city-level cadres will be promoted and transferred to other cities even after less than one term.Under such a political environment, who can not pay attention to those enterprises that can see real results in the short term, manufacturing and processing is worth hundreds of millions of taxes a year, paving roads and building buildings can not only increase gdp, but also greatly improve the appearance of the city The appearance of the city and the increase in fiscal revenue are all real political achievements.

On the contrary, it takes a long time to touch those minefields, the effect is slow, and the risk is high. Even if it bears a lot of fruit, it is not known whose pocket it falls into.Who is a real fool who can become a prefecture-level cadre in the officialdom and become a party member?Such a political situation has resulted in general short-sightedness among middle- and lower-level leaders, and the companies below are also trembling. Who knows if the policy will be changed because of the leadership change, and the money that has been sprinkled will be in vain.

If you want to get through the joints in this area, you may have to start from the root...

With all kinds of worries, the morning's talks only stayed on the surface.Regarding the development of the mining industry, or cooperation with existing large state-owned enterprises, Secretary Yang naturally highly agrees, and also promises to work hard to communicate with the province, and implement policy cooperation and share sharing as soon as possible.But for Yuan Yang's next step plan, he held a quite conservative attitude. Secretary Yang didn't know that this was a good thing, but was it worth spending so much energy to make it happen?

However, the difficulties in the negotiation did not affect the harmony at the dinner table. At noon, the Municipal Party Committee, accompanied by Secretary Yang, Secretary-General Wan and several main leaders of the city, set up a banquet in the Yingbin Building, which was regarded as a visit from afar. Chen Dong took the wind.

This time the reception standard has been greatly improved, even Chen Yuanming had to drink a few more glasses. When sending the circle to toast, Mayor Li quietly moved to Chen Yuanming's side.

"Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry for you..." As soon as he came up, he put on the policy of mourning soldiers. Mayor Li had a wry smile on his face, and his face was full of embarrassment. Brother Liu was wronged by his negligence before. I have already severely criticized their factory manager Gao, and the problem will be resolved by Monday at the latest. Please don’t take it to heart..."

"Mayor Li is serious." Chen Yuanming smiled, raised his glass and clinked a glass with the other party, "No matter how good the management is at the top, some mistakes will inevitably occur at the bottom. The stall is too big, and who can know everything."

"Sigh~~ You can't say that." Mayor Li sighed softly, "The omissions in management are not a small problem. Later, Xiao Gao and the others should come to the door to apologize and wash away the stains on Big Brother Liu."

"That's not necessary. My uncle is more concerned about the resettlement of injured workers. The factory's subsidies for such severe disabilities are not in place, which makes him very worried."

"Of course the wounded must be taken seriously!" Mayor Li replied with a stern voice, full of courage, "Our city is a place where heavy industries gather, and the problem of safety accidents has always been a big problem. Deputy Mayor Zhao has done a good job of communication and will conduct a city-wide census to further strengthen and improve the safety awareness of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in our city to ensure the interests of employees. Director Chen, please rest assured that I, Mr. Li, can still count. "

"Mayor Li is worried." Chen Yuanming showed a slight smile, "With these words, my uncle can leave the copper processing factory with peace of mind."

"What?" Mayor Li was taken aback, and the Wuliangye in his hand almost fell over. "Why don't you work in a copper processing factory? It's doing a good job there now!"

"Well, the benefit is good, but it's not as good as our own after all. Now that Yuanyang is about to go into production, I feel more at ease with a few of my family members around."

"Ah... that's the truth, that's the truth..."

Hearing Chen Yuanming's explanation, Mayor Li couldn't refute it.you do not say!Isn't it better to hang on to such a large family business casually than to spend a lifetime in a state-owned enterprise?As long as you are not stupid, you should know how to choose.It seems that climbing Liu Weiguo's line seems to be difficult, and it's all caused by the grandchildren of the copper processing factory!

Cursing secretly in his heart, but the emotion on his face was stable, Mayor Li chatted casually for a few more words before Shi Shiran left with a glass of wine.

However, leaving aside the eyes locked on Liu Weiguo, Chen Jianhua and Wang Juan finally encountered a situation they had never experienced before after they officially went to work on Monday.
