After leaving the municipal government, Chen Huai and Zhang Lisheng got into Sun Yalin's car together and said to Zhang Lisheng:

"Zhao Dong, Pan Cheng led the team, and together with Pengyue's Zhou Zhibai, went to the UK to conduct preliminary investigations and contacts with West Ouminth Industrial Group. The conclusion is that the electric furnace steel production line in West Ouminth is completely removable. The key is how to disassemble it. In addition to being able to disassemble it, it must be able to install it; it must be able to run it, and there are many details to talk to West Ouminth. I believe that Zhao Dong and Pan Cheng's judgment, so, Yalin and I will probably start negotiations directly with West Ouminth Industrial Group this time. The speed of the new project may be very fast. Although introducing a second-hand production line can save us a lot of funds, Zhao Dong and Pan Cheng and others initially judge that after technological transformation, the annual production capacity of this production line can be increased to more than 500,000 tons, and the amount of funds required for the entire project construction will still be extremely large..."

"Give me a rough number so that I can have a clear mind." Zhang Lisheng said.

"If inflation can be controlled next year, the entire project will be almost 600 million. Based on a debt ratio of 60%, we will raise 240 million yuan by ourselves, and we still need banks to help solve the loan of 360 million yuan. Meigang has been preparing for the new project for half a year and decided to go to the project. The speed will be very fast. The construction period will only take one year at a time. In other words, I want to ask all banks to raise all these funds for us next year..." Chen Huai said.

Zhang Lisheng smiled and said, "You have to communicate with President Yao Ronghua for such a huge amount of funds. It can't be solved by our city bank."

"My plane will go to the UK through Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. I will meet President Yao Ronghua in the provincial capital tomorrow. I thought about it and still wanted to ask President Zhang to come and I can say a few good things to Mei Gang at that time." Chen Huai said.

"Okay." Zhang Lisheng said.

Although the nearly 400 million yuan short of Meigang's new project cannot be solved by Yexin Bank, no matter how much loan the provincial bank finally decides to issue to Meigang's new project, it may be implemented through their municipal bank. This is equivalent to the provincial bank injecting a large amount of capital into the municipal bank, increasing the weight of Donghua City Bank under his leadership in the entire Yexin Bank.

Influenced by foreign shareholders, the provincial bank made a decision to enter Donghua on a large scale to conduct business last year, and Zhang Lisheng was not optimistic about Donghua's prospects.

Currently, domestic banks are mainly engaged in deposit and loan business, which is directly related to regional economic development.

In 1993, the total social deposit balance in Donghua City was less than 3 billion, or even less than one-third of that in Pingjiang City on the other side of Zhujiang.

Many financial institutions including China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Urban Credit Unions, Rural Credit Unions and other financial institutions have been in the company for many years, and have almost divided the deposit and loan business in Donghua. When Yexin Bank squeezed in at this time, how many cakes can it grab from other people's plates?

In the past year, Yexin Bank has focused on Meixi Town and quickly achieved a loan and deposit business scale of 600 million yuan, reaching a level similar to that of the major financial institutions in Donghua City; its results are far better than expected.

Even without Sun Yalin and the Sun family, Zhang Lisheng is willing to cooperate more closely with Chen Huai.

Nowadays, no one is stupid. Although some people will make some different statements due to the situation, in their hearts, everyone will support those who bring benefits to them.

In more than a year in Donghua, Zhang Lisheng can see clearly who can do things, who can do things, who can achieve results, and who cannot achieve results.

Although the total investment of the joint venture project led by the Municipal Steel Factory and Fuji Iron Manufacturing will be as high as 500 million or 600 million, after all, this joint venture project is still under the framework of industrial layout created by Shenhuai.

Including Meixi Power Plant, Meixi Port Terminal, Meigang, joint venture projects, West Eummins project, Meixi Port Industrial Park, the layout of the steel industry alone, has reached a scale of 2 billion with the investment to be accommodated, and will directly become a pole of economic growth in Donghua City.

Zhang Lisheng believed that all this was planned in his mind when Shen Huai took the initiative to ask for a job in Meixi Town.

Zhang Lisheng believed that he could not achieve the level of Shen Huai, but he still had the ability to understand the situation, otherwise he would not have sent Yexin Bank to Donghua to take on the important task.

No matter how much the characters in the officialdom of Donghua City agree with Chen Huai, they have to surrender to Tan Qiping's power as the secretary of the municipal party committee; for Zhang Lisheng and others, they must choose between Tan Qiping and Chen Huai - following Tan Qiping, they can only move in the existing narrow framework; and only by uniting, or following Chen Huai, can they make a career - can the answer not be obvious?

After Chen Huai and Zhang Lisheng separated, they went back to Meixi Town directly.

Chu Qiang met him in the town government and turned around and got him a journal.

Chen Huai took it and saw it was the journal of Huaihai Provincial College of Economics, and asked Chu Qiang with a smile: "Has Xin Qi's paper been published in the journal of their school?"

"Well, call me and say that she will continue to follow up and study the development model of Meixi Town," Chu Qiang said, "By the way, there is another thing I want to report to Secretary Chen..."

"What's up?"

"The Provincial School of Economics recruits on-the-job graduate students, and I want to try to apply for it." Chu Qiang said.

Chen Huai stared at Chu Qiang suspiciously and asked, "I asked you to be responsible for the entertainment. There is no need for you to take yourself in, right?"

After all, Chu Qiang's face was still tender, and Chen Huai's eyes were revealed, and his face turned red.

Chen Huai laughed and said, "After you followed Secretary Yang to the city, you should have more free time than in Meixi Town. You should really charge it well."

***************

After returning from Xucheng Railway Station, Li Gu sat in the car, looking at the darker sky outside and the old and low buildings on both sides, and I felt that the economy of Huaihai Province was too lagging behind. Although Xucheng is also an eastern provincial capital, its urban construction is even far less than that of Pingjiang and other cities in Jiangdong Province, and I don’t know what it can develop into in Xu Pei’s hands.

"Director Li, where do you want?" Xiao Huang, the driver of the small car in the provincial party committee office, looked at Li Gu from the rearview mirror and asked.

"Go to Secretary Tian's place." Li Gu said.

On Beijing Road, Xinze District, Xucheng, the provincial party committee’s family compound is hidden among the lush trees.

The wind blows the grass and breaks the branches and falls to the ground.

This is the first time Li Gu who lives in the north for many years. He spent the winter in the south this year. He thought that the winter in the south was much warmer than in the north, but after he actually came here, he realized that it was different from his imagination.

As soon as he got out of the car and walked into Tian Jiageng's house, there was no space in the room. Li Gu rubbed his hands so much that he saw Tian Jiageng wearing a cotton jacket and vest sitting in the study to approve documents, and said, "Secretary Tian, ​​you are really not afraid of the cold." He walked over and took out the heater and prepared to plug in the power supply.

Xucheng is located in the middle of Zhujiang River, with hills and hills crossing across the east side. The cold air in the north usually stays near Xucheng for a long time, making the winter in Xucheng both humid and cold. Although the temperature is only minus three or four degrees, the dampness and coldness penetrate into the bones. Xucheng does not supply heating after winter, and there is no heating air conditioner or heater in the room, which is really not something northern men can get used to.

"You have to be less lazy. Just like me, get up at five o'clock every day to run and exercise. These colds are nothing." Tian Jiageng smiled.

"I can't stand this." Li Gu said. He has been working south with Tian Jiageng for four months and has a lot of work every day. Although he insists on exercising, he can't get up at five o'clock every day.

"By the way, Donghua City should have reported the situation to the provincial government yesterday for the joint venture between Meigang and Fuji Ironmaking. Has the results been reached?" Tian Jiageng asked.

"I have a report minutes here, which I just took from the Provincial Government Office in the afternoon." Li Gu gave the report minutes to Tian Jiageng from his briefcase.

In addition to necessary personnel adjustments, Tian Jiageng was unable to directly interfere with specific economic work by crossing Zhao Qiuhua. He could only express concern for such a large joint venture project as Fuji Iron and Mei Steel through the Provincial Party Committee Office, and it is not convenient to directly follow up on the negotiation process.

Even the provincial government also gives more initiative in negotiations to Donghua City; only when Donghua City has achieved results or some misses can it be easier to ask or intervene. This is also a need for hierarchical management and each performs its own duties. If the superior department intervenes in everything, one is that it does not have so much manpower and energy, and the other is that it will restrict its subordinates and end up being unable to do anything.

"If Huaihai wants to develop, it needs to have a high-starting industrial plan, and it also needs to be driven by major projects..." Tian Jiageng said with emotion, taking the report minutes of Donghua City from Li Gu, putting on glasses again to look.

The report minutes of Donghua City only have the preliminary intention results of the joint venture negotiations, but no negotiation process.

"No," Tian Jiageng looked at the report minutes, frowned, put down the documents, looked at Li Gu, and said in confusion, "From this initial joint venture intention, Mei Gang seems to have no intention of participating in this joint venture, and its shareholding ratio is far lower than that of Donghua Steel Plant..."

"It should be," said Li Gu. "Meixi Port Industrial Park focuses on developing the steel industry, which is a pattern led by Shen Huai. The joint venture project is in Meixi Town. If Meigang is not active, Donghua Steel Plant may not be able to do this joint venture project well. But the matter is very strange. Fuji ironmaking does not strongly require Meigang to lead the joint venture project, and I can't figure out where the problem lies..."

"You call Donghua City directly to find out what's going on," Tian Jiageng said. When Li Gu picked up the phone, he shook his head again, "This doesn't seem to be appropriate. Donghua City may not tell the truth..."

"After all, Donghua City has reached a conclusion. It's really hard to ask what to ask now. At most, they will give a more detailed negotiation introduction," said Li Gu. "Even if something really happens, it doesn't seem easy to interfere with anything. Donghua City's economic development this year is pretty good, and it can be ranked first in the whole province..."

If the province wants to interfere in the affairs of prefectures and cities, it also needs to have high-sounding reasons, either because of the lagging economic development, accountability, accountability for major cases, or focus on major investments or construction projects.

After Tan Qiping came to Donghua City as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he successfully carried out his work and grasped the situation. Not only did he continuously investigate and deal with major cases, but Donghua's work in all aspects has significantly improved; indicators such as investment promotion, finance and taxation, and growth in GDP have made significant progress compared with previous years.

Under such circumstances, when Tian Jiageng arrived in Huaihai Province, he decisively adjusted the party and government leaders of several cities and cities, and even transferred his trusted Xu Pei to Xu Cheng as mayor and presided over the economic work of the provincial capital. Instead, he was not good at pointing out to Donghua City as the provincial party secretary.

Seeing Tian Jiageng frowning and hesitating, Li Gu said: "It's a coincidence that the journal published by the Provincial School of Economics last month has a paper on the economics of townships. The prototype of the research is the development model of Meixi Town. I just took the time to read it these two days, and the data is very detailed..."

"Is that true?" Tian Jiageng raised his eyebrows and said, "Take it over and show it to me..."
Chapter completed!
