Chapter 86: Hit the Wall

A cup of tea after a meal, and the rising mist of water made the entire space seem hazy.

"It seems that this kind of thing should not be the job of your organization minister, right?" Liu Ruotong was very puzzled by Zhao Guodong's return to his old business. "Where is your deputy governor in charge of transportation in southern Yunnan? Or should the executive vice governor come and run? Why did you push your organization minister to the front desk? Was it misplaced?"

Zhao Guodong briefly introduced the situation in Wencheng and said that one of the main responsibilities of this film leader is to take on the responsibility of helping the region attract investment and promote local economic development.

Liu Ruotong frowned slightly. After returning to China for so long, her work scope has changed slightly. In addition to her job, she also needs to pay attention to the domestic development trend.

Nowadays, the country has focused its main energy on economic development. It can be said that economic development indicators almost occupy the main assessment content of the central government for local party and government. It is also impossible for local governments to spare no effort to make attracting investment and large projects the top priority, even Zhao Guodong, the Organization Minister.

"What are you going to do? I think this project this time is not that simple. Not only does it attract a large amount of investment, but it is also risky. Especially when facing domestic policy barriers, it is not difficult to achieve a breakthrough, right?" Liu Ruotong is also gradually adapting to her life after returning to China. Whether she admits it or not, Zhao Guodong's work and life are also closely related to her. She will always subconsciously involve part of her attention and will also consciously or unconsciously help to think about it in her daily work.

"Is there any difficulty that I need to take action?" Zhao Guodong smiled himself teasingly. "The investment amount is large, and the economy in Wencheng is relatively backward. For investors, how to recover the investment cost is very important. It requires support from multiple policies. Therefore, it is very difficult to consider when choosing investors and operating methods. Investors are not fools. If they cannot see the profit prospects, they will definitely not pay for it. This requires us to innovate our thinking methods at work."

"Don't boast, some things are not personal abilities but institutional issues. The boot method involves sensitive areas. The right to use public infrastructure can be transferred, but ownership, especially highways, seems no one dares to try it." Liu Ruotong also pointed out this point sharply.

"Because of this, I have to prepare a few things. It seems that I have to work hard to help my fourth sister come back and ask her to help clear the financing channels." Zhao Guodong said calmly: "In addition, we must also run to the National Development and Reform Commission."

"I guess the National Development and Reform Commission is unlikely to let you go, unless any leader can give you a green light, but as a leader at this level, do you think you have such energy without sufficient public opinion atmosphere? "

Liu Ruotong said it very bluntly, but it was very realistic.

"There must be some problems. The National Development and Reform Commission will not make any comments." Zhao Guodong also knew the mystery and difficulty of this, and pondered: "So I have been thinking about where to start."

"Guodong, I feel that it doesn't make much sense for you to operate in the NDRC. Even the NDRC director does not have this power. The Kunwen Expressway has more than 300 kilometers and has an investment of at least 10 billion yuan. If such a large amount of funds comes from the central government, it can't be said to be discussed at the State Council Executive Meeting. That is impossible. If the diversified financing channels are said to mean that some policy boundaries may be broken, otherwise investors will not be attracted at all. This is not something that the NDRC can make." Liu Ruotong said affirmatively.

Zhao Guodong looked at Liu Ruotong with admiration. At least she could give her a brief introduction and she could grasp the lifeline of this, and the questions she raised were all key issues.

"Then what do you mean?" Zhao Guodong asked with his lips pursed.

"If you want to accomplish this, it is probably meaningless to find ordinary people. You either have to directly find the Prime Minister. This is best. After all, you have reported this situation to him, and he has an impression, and he also supports the infrastructure construction in southern Yunnan. This is very important, but it is not easy to report it in a special topic with the Prime Minister. If it were your Secretary Cai who came to Beijing, you might have a chance. You, the Minister of Organization, may be rare to rely on the top. Even if you have the chance, you are afraid that the Prime Minister will not give you so much time to report on this matter." Liu Ruotong analyzed carefully.

"I also know that this matter is difficult. Although the Prime Minister heard the report at that time, he did not make any statement, which means that he also knew that this highway cost a lot and the central government did not dare to make any noise. Especially the central government has invested a lot in the construction of several major infrastructure in southern Yunnan. If you open a random note, it will probably cause emotions from other places." Zhao Guodong was also a little embarrassed.

"If the Prime Minister is not easy to deal with, Vice Premier Qian will be the same way, but it is also difficult. He is in charge of this stance and there are too many people who want to open a hole from him. It can be said that everyone can bring a lot of reasons behind it, such as ethnic relations, old and young border areas, strategic significance, poverty alleviation and prosperity. I am afraid that Vice Premier Qian will get tired of these reasons. Unless he comes up with a reason that can convince him, there is no way."

Qian Yue is the Executive Vice Premier of the State Council and is in charge of the daily work of the State Council. He also has a great say in economic work. If he can gain his recognition and support, then no matter what channel the Kunwen Expressway project uses to raise funds, it will not be a big problem.

"Daisily, did you say this to block all my ways?" Zhao Guodong spread his hands, "Then why should I go back and explain to the people of Wencheng?"

"You can only choose one of these two paths. Didn't you solve the problem through Vice Premier Su in the Ningling Dongzhai Airport project? So you have to grasp the bull's nose to solve the problem. This time, Vice Premier Su is afraid that he won't be able to help you. Maybe he can beat the side drum, but the Prime Minister or Vice Premier Qian has to nod."

Liu Ruotong also wanted to help Zhao Guodong, but this matter was too difficult, especially as the country had already had a considerable infrastructure construction in southern Yunnan. It would be difficult to get recognition in southern Yunnan.

After talking all night, Zhao Guodong couldn't sleep.

Liu Ruotong's words made him a little anxious, but the situation was indeed the case. It was not very meaningful to find the National Development and Reform Commission. He had to find someone who could nod and make a calculation, and someone would also have to help promote it. This project will eventually be reached at the State Council Executive Meeting to form a consensus.

But it is useless to be anxious now, so he arranged for Wei Wenming and Ye Qingchuan to leave one of them the next day, and the other person still had to go back to preside over the work in Wencheng area. He could not put other work aside just because of this project.

What's more, the current job is not something you can do in a day or two, so you have to choose the right reality and the right time.

Ye Qingchuan was also a little confused. Zhao Guodong was very concerned about this matter and had been working on this matter these days. He accompanied Zhao Guodong to meet some people, such as Liu Qiao, who also knew about the Liu family.

Although the influence of the Liu family in Beijing is far less than that of decades ago, the third generation has gradually grown up. Even though Liu Qiao is only working in business, with his deep connections and his own abilities, China United Investment has grown into a big tycoon in the domestic investment industry. Moreover, China United Investment’s background is extraordinary. A considerable number of patriots and big families in Hong Kong are important shareholders of this investment group. Just by being able to start with the word China, you will know the weight behind it.

Zhao Guodong and Liu Qiao had a difficult conversation. Regarding commercial issues, Liu Qiao always had one or two. It is basically impossible for you to make her favor with her in this regard. In her own words, everything needs to operate according to business procedures.

Liu Qiao was not optimistic about this expensive highway, and clearly told Zhao Guodong that China United Investment Group, including herself, was not interested in this highway, and listed three major risks. First, the investment amount was too large. Even if the financing was diversified, the margins were too small in profits. Second, the geological conditions were poor and the construction time was long, and there were huge risks. Third, it was subject to domestic restrictions and there were too many uncertain factors. If you were not careful, you would lose all your money.

This also gave Zhao Guodong a blow. Liu Qiao's personality Zhao Guodong also knew that the other party's clear statement basically announced that the possibility of this project was almost gone, but Zhao Guodong had great hope for China United Investment. In addition to hoping to obtain financing from China United Investment itself, Zhao Guodong also hoped to build a bridge through China United Investment to introduce Hong Kong, Macao and private capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. China United Investment itself is not optimistic about this project, so how can we convince others to invest?

Seeing that Zhao Guodong was also a little frowning, Ye Qingchuan was also a little anxious, "Minister Zhao, I think China United Investment has not completely blocked the gap, but it still leaves a gap. After all, the first two reasons are not the reason, the key is the third one."
