After lunch, Meng Xuede and other city and county leaders had to attend the preparatory meeting personally held by Governor Zheng Cong. Chen Li and Zheng Wenyuan took Xu Yuanzhou to their room to rest. As the provincial Beijing Office, Zhongyuan International Hotel has no longer received hotel guests in the past few days, but has arranged rooms for every company and investor representative invited to attend.

Xu Yuanzhou helped contact Qingyuan Water Group, Daxing Water Group representatives, and Xu Fangli, president of the China Region of France Suez Environmental Group, rushed to the Zhongyuan International Hotel at 1:00 pm. Chen Li, Zheng Wenyuan and Xu Yuanzhou accompanied Zhang Haoran to receive representatives from the three companies, and introduced the current economic situation in Qingquan City and the urgent construction needs for sewage treatment plants to them.

In terms of infrastructure, local governments introduce enterprises to participate in investment. There are currently two main models for construction:

First, the enterprise is responsible for raising funds and building construction, and after completion, it is handed over to the local government for acceptance. In the early stage of measuring construction funds and appropriate profits, the local government pays relevant funds in installments after completion. This is the so-called BT model. Another type is that the enterprise is responsible for raising funds and construction. After completion, the local government franchises the project for a certain period of time. The enterprise recovers costs and certain benefits during the operation process. After the agreed period is over, the project will be recovered by the local government. This is the bot model that has just emerged in China.

The newly emerging urban environment comprehensive service providers in China are mainly engaged in cooperation with local governments in the BT model to promote local infrastructure construction. This is mainly because the capital strength of domestic sewage treatment and other environmental enterprises has not yet truly risen, and the investment cycle they can bear is limited.

For local governments, the bt model is only a short-term solution to the problem of financial shortage. However, after the project is completed, it is necessary to accept the project and pay the funds periodically, which is not helpful in absorbing advanced management experience in project operations.

Zhang Haoran and Meng Xuede naturally hope that the investment companies can build large sewage treatment plants in the upper reaches of the Liulin River in the bot model. In this way, Qingquan can introduce advanced management experience in sewage treatment, but in the future, only fifteen to twenty years of franchise rights need to be transferred, the city will not need to consider the issue of fiscal investment for the time being. By the end of the operating years, I believe that the local comprehensive environmental service system has matured, and the city will take over the project, which is a stable source of fiscal revenue.

However, only a few foreign-funded environmental enterprises have sufficient strength. They have also been specially approved by the State Council to undertake bot infrastructure investment in China. Major domestic cities are actively seeking bot projects. France's Suez Environmental Group is currently inspecting and contacting more than a dozen projects. Qingquan may not have enough competitive strength.

Xu Fangli, president of Suez Environment Group, is a Chinese woman with a delicate appearance and capable style. Due to busy affairs, she went to the Zhongyuan International Hotel and talked with Chen Li, Zhang Haoran and others for half an hour. After learning about the basic situation, she offered to say goodbye.

In addition, the negotiation cycle of Suez Environmental Group's inspection was very long. Qingquan wanted to strive to start construction of the large-scale sewage treatment plant in Liulinhe within the year, and it may not be able to catch up.

The biggest advantage of Qingquan is that in addition to the bullish coal market and the guaranteed environmental investment in municipal sewage treatment and other environmental investment, Zhang Haoran followed Luo Rongmin to handle BT and Bot projects in Dongjiang Province and Shangdu City, and negotiated with representatives of the three companies without any obstacles.

Qingyuan Water and Daxing Water prefer to cooperate with the Qingquan Municipal Government in the BT model. Qingyuan Water and even the Qingquan Municipal Government can help coordinate bank loans and solve the problem of part of the construction funds. Suez Environmental Group also has certain intentions, but there will be a lot of detailed negotiations in the future, and many things cannot be determined now.

After Xu Fangli, the representative of Suez Environmental Group, left, he saw that he was almost at the opening ceremony of the Central Plains Economic Development Forum, and everyone walked towards the lobby of the venue together.

Zhang Haoran was too busy. Chen Li, Zheng Wenyuan and Xu Yuanzhou were responsible for accompanying Qingyuan and Daxing Water Affairs representatives into the venue and sat down. After a while, they saw a group of people surrounding the governor Zheng Cong walked in.

At this time, the venue was quite chaotic. Chen Li counted roughly. Today, there were 300 companies and investors from all sizes who came here. In addition to the contact officials from the city, there were almost more than 400 people in the huge venue hall.

Many invited entrepreneurs and investors, some sat in accordance with the nameplate in the venue, while others stood on the side of the venue and found acquaintances to chat.

Zheng Cong walked into the venue and, under the guidance of the secretary, stood at the door, shaking hands with a middle-aged man with a slightly white hair and elegant appearance. Han Zirui, Zhang He and Ding Yang, who was taken away by Han Zirui and Zhang He after lunch, also stood beside him talking and laughing.

"That is Wang Zhenhua from Jiuzhou Iron and Steel Group." Zheng Wenyuan pointed to the middle-aged man who was talking to Zheng Cong and introduced to Chen Li.

Jiuzhou Steel is not only Dongjiang Province, but also the largest private steel enterprise in China, with a total assets of more than 20 billion yuan. It is a leader in private enterprises in Dongjiang Province with Wanbang Group. At the next opening ceremony, Wang Zhenhua will speak on behalf of the Dongjiang Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing that the officials of Zhongyuan Steel Group were also accompanying Wang Zhenhua, Chen Li guessed that under the leadership of Zheng Cong, Jiuzhou Steel Group should have reached a certain investment intention with the province, otherwise Wang Zhenhua would not have come to support and speak in person.

Jiuzhou Iron and Steel Group is currently expanding very rapidly. Whether it is mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures with the Provincial Iron and Steel Group, or investing alone in the Central Plains Province to establish a new steel production base, this investment starts from billions, which seems to be the highlight of this investment conference.

The Shangdu Investment Group was next to Qingquan, Meng Xuede and Zheng Cong invited Wang Zhenhua to the rostrum, Han Zirui, Fang Longmao, Zhang He, Ding Yang and others to walk downstairs.

Ding Yang came over and said with a generous smile: "I just chatted with Zirui and the others for a while before I found out that Qingquan has developed very quickly in the past two years!"

As a person with a net worth of 300 million or 500 million and controlling nearly one billion assets, Ding Yang will only make a decision after entering which field he expects to enter, investing in Qingquan or Shangdu.

What's more, if Ding Yang really wants to invest in Shangdu or Qingquan, it is impossible for him to ignore Zheng Cong's existence. Therefore, Zheng Wenyuan, Chen Li and Xu Yuanzhou cannot expect Ding Yang to get close to them, so he cut off contact with Han Zirui.

Moreover, even though he knew that Zheng Cong didn't like Zheng Wenyuan, Ding Yang himself wanted to go to Central Plains Province and invest under the shade of Zheng Cong's big tree. He could still get close to him, which means that he is also a person who values ​​friendship.

Ding Yang also met the representatives of Qingyuan Water and Daxing Water. He sat down and smiled and asked, "Two bosses, are you determined? Qingquan's investment opportunities are good. If I weren't familiar with sewage treatment, I would have taken this investment opportunity."

Ding Yang said a few words, and it was also a favor. Then he leaned over and asked Chen Li: "I just chatted with Zirui and learned that Mr. Chen is very confident about the development of Qingquan's real estate market. Can you introduce more information and let me learn..."

Some things, such as Chen Li mortgaged his personal shares to Nanhua Group and invested the 10 billion yuan borrowed from the mortgage as the bottom fund in Dashang Capital's fifth phase fund. Chen Li did not mention it with Xu Yuanzhou and Ding Yang yesterday, but Ding Yang had contacted Han Zirui and Zhang He at noon. Han Zirui and Zhang He and others would definitely give Ding Yang an eye drop.

Even if Zheng Wenyuan couldn't raise any funds in the Beijing circle in the future, there should be factors such as Han Zirui and others behind the scenes.

However, Ding Yang came over enthusiastically at this time, believing that Han Zirui and Zhang He's heart did not dispel his curiosity.

Chen Li also knew that without the cheaper and more preferential conditions, Ding Yang would not be able to go to Qingquan alone with a low return on investment and a unclear market prospect. It can be seen that Ding Yang is more looking forward to cross-border entry into the real estate investment field. Han Zirui and Zhang He tried every means to win over Ding Yang, probably still wanted to pull Ding Yang into their situation to reduce the current financial pressure under the construction of Jiangwan Jialong City.

Jiangwan Jialong City involves tourism, closures, commercial and residential real estate comprehensive development projects, and is also very suitable for Ding Yang to participate. However, Ding Yang still came over very eagerly. It is similar to this, which shows that Ding Yang is a person who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Thinking of this, Chen Li smiled slightly and said, "I can't guess what others say behind the scenes Xinchaorui, but at this investment promotion meeting, Qingquan's coal resource use rights transfer will be an important drama, and how many results will be achieved, I believe Mr. Ding will see it in the next few days, and he will know at that time whether I am confident or a gambler who loses his mind as some people say..."

No matter what, Chen Li would not want Ding Yang to be attracted by Han Zirui and participate in the Jiangwan Jialong City Bureau.

"Is that?" Ding Yang responded skeptically. At this time, the host announced that the Central Plains Investment and Investment Conference and the 2004th Central Plains Economic Development Forum had officially begun. Everyone was quiet and watched Zheng Cong come on stage to deliver the opening speech.

Zheng Cong delivered the opening speech, and the whole process was a speech that was unscripted.

Standing on the rostrum, it seems that he is not a governor, but an orator. He cited classics and briefly analyzed his views on the current economic development situation, from abroad to the domestic, from coast to inland, from rural to cities, and from cities to towns, deeply analyzed the current good economic development situation and future trends in the country, and instead judged that the focus of domestic economic development has moved westward, and Central Plains Province should be a pioneer in reform and development.

Finally, Zheng Cong focused on the entire Central Plains and explained in an easy-to-understand manner the geographical advantages of the Central Plains Province connecting east, west, south and north, as well as its deep market potential.

Zheng Cong talked for nearly an hour without any panic. The content he said was clearly organized and well-founded. From this point of view, he really had a certain personality charm.

In addition to the main venue, the city and prefecture also has sub-venues for project display and negotiation in various halls.

Chen Li did not deliberately induce Ding Yang. This time he came here, in addition to promoting the implementation of large-scale sewage treatment plant projects, he also wanted to go to the scene in person to see if the more than 20 coal resource use rights transfer projects launched by Qingquan this time will be popular.

This is also one of the two major factors that Chen Li values ​​most whether Qingquan Xinrui City can succeed.

Although many people are not optimistic about the future economic development of the domestic economy, there have always been voices in China's economic development at home and abroad, and after the SARS epidemic last year, it once hit a climax, but there are also many people who are firmly optimistic about domestic economic development.

In the first quarter of 2004, coal prices rose by 10% again, and the annual increase was expected to reach 20%. This is also destined to make the first investment in coal mineral resources in Zhongyuan Province liberalized and become a popular commodity for many funds.

Nearly half of the coal resources in Zhongyuan Province are concentrated in Qingquan. Qingquan produces more than 100 million tons of coal annually. If the annual increase can reach 20%, it means that Qingquan City's coal income will reach an unprecedented 25 billion, of which 4 billion is a completely new wealth this year.

The transaction of coal mineral resource use rights is destined to bring new capital increase to Qingquan. It depends on how large the capital is.

If it is only a few hundred million, the spillover effect on the real estate market will be almost equal to nothing; if it is a few billion, it will have a significant positive impact.

You should know that the actual increase in foreign investment in Shangdu City is only a few billion a year.

Qingquan took out more than 20 coal investment projects this time, but the scale was not particularly large. The total annual output was about 5 million tons, accounting for only one-twentieth of Qingquan's annual coal output.

After the opening ceremony, Chen Li wanted to go back to his room to participate in a telephone conference inside Xinchaorui Real Estate. He waited until almost six o'clock before going downstairs to the restaurant to attend the evening buffet. He saw that Meng Xuede and Wang Zhenhua of Jiuzhou Iron and Steel Group were sitting at the dining table by the window and chatting.

Chen Li sat down at the dining table next door with a plate, Xu Yuanzhou, Ding Yang and others, and whispered to Zheng Wenyuan: "What are you talking about with your uncle, Jiuzhou Steel, what are you talking about with Mayor Meng?"

"Jiuzhou Steel's investment scale this time is quite large. In addition to joining hands with Zhongyuan Steel to build a large steel production base with an annual output of 2 million tons in Shangdu, it also plans to invest in a coal production base with an annual output of 1 million tons of coal in Qingquan. They are talking about this now," Zheng Wenyuan said excitedly, "Look at Vice Mayor Zhang and the heads of several counties in Qingquan, who are surrounded by?"

The huge buffet restaurant was crowded with people, most of them were raw faces. Chen Li was not very familiar with the district and county leaders below Qingquan. After looking around for a while, he gradually saw the situation clearly. Zhang Haoran and the district and county officials below Qingquan were surrounded by many people dining together, which was obviously much more lively than Yinghe and other municipal officials.

Chen Li saw Fang Longmao, Han Zirui, and Zhang He sitting on the table opposite, with a little depressed expression. He tilted his mouth over there and asked Zheng Wenyuan with a smile: "Why do they look in a bad mood?"

"If they spend a lot of effort to invite investors from Dongjiang Province, they will come to Mayor Meng and Deputy Mayor Zhang, how can they be happy?" Zheng Wenyuan patted Chen Li's shoulder and sighed, "You guys are good at it. Qingquan's coal project this time will probably be negotiated for 2 billion..."

Although Jiuzhou Steel's investment in coal projects is a supporting facility for steel production bases, as Jiuzhou Steel's first coal project, it will also play a very strong demonstration role in the private capital of Dongjiang Province entering Qingquan.

If the transfer of coal mineral resource use rights in Qingquan City this time can reach 2 billion, then the investments that follow up will be followed one after another, at least 400 billion yuan of incremental funds this year.

This number also exceeds Chen Li's previous estimate.

Chen Li thought that it would take a long time for coal prices to rise to arouse the enthusiasm of private capital to invest in coal on a large scale. Now it seems that Dongjiang, as the most economically developed province in the country, has accumulated a large amount of private capital in the past 20 years and is also in urgent need of new investment channels.

Hearing this good news, Chen Li asked Ding Yang with a smile: "Mr. Ding, what do you think now?"

"Seeing that Dongjiang investors are so enthusiastic about coal, I think of buying a mine in Qingquan." Ding Yang laughed.

"Mr. Ding is good at this." Chen Li smiled. As long as Ding Yang was not attracted by Han Zirui and participated in the Jiangwan Jialong City Bureau, he would be happy to see him. He said to Xu Yuanzhou, "Fourth Brother, can you give me a copy of the complete information of Qingyuan Water Affairs?"

"Qingyuan Water has the most tight funds. Even if you want to go to Qingquan to build a large sewage treatment plant this time, you still expect Qingquan City to help solve some bank loans - you said that if the local government can solve the bank loan problem, you still need to find foreign aid?" Zheng Wenyuan said, "What do you want their information alone?"

Zheng Wenyuan was the first to remove Qingyuan Water from his heart. Unexpectedly, Chen Li was most interested in Qingyuan Water.
