Chen Huai and the others came upstairs, exchanged a brief greeting with Li Gu and Sun Fujing and sat around the small table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The indoor heating was very strong, and there was no feeling of coldness outside after the cold wind. The sun in the afternoon sprinkled in, making people feel that they were in the spring of March.

Cheng Yi did not participate in Chen Huai and Li Gu and the others' talks. After the greetings, she walked around the second floor with Wu Hao's girlfriend Sun Li. Her vision was not particularly broad. However, as the Jinghai Road Ying Hotel, which was the reception center of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government Conference, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is one of the only two five-star hotels in Xu City. The garden scenery is very distinctive.

The building is mainly composed of white rock ornamental walls that have been polished over time, and the trees in front of Fuxiang Pavilion are mainly metasequoia.

Although metasequoia has been widely planted in Huaihai Province, dozens of giant pine trees with nearly a hundred years of age still give people the feeling of lush forests and deep paths even in the cold winter when branches and leaves are withered.

There are two or three thousand department-level cadres in the provincial party and mass organs. Except for those who have always been at the core or who are often in contact with, Li Gu cannot be known to everyone.

Sitting down to see Qin Dawei's appearance at 35 or 6 years old, less than a few years younger than him, with a national face and a medium figure, Li Gu had no impression of him. Chen Huai just mentioned Qin Dawei's name on the phone, but when he was with Sun Fujing, it was not convenient for him to find someone to ask about Qin Dawei's situation. He thought that since Chen Huai brought him over, he should have his extraordinary features or that his relationship with Chen Huai should be closer to others.

Before being transferred to the Provincial Planning Commission, Sun Fujing worked in the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission for a period of time.

Although Qin Dawei didn't work for a long time at that time, his status was not good compared to Sun Fujing, he had worked in the same department for two or three years and recognized each other.

Sun Fujing smiled and said, "Xiao Qin and I haven't seen each other for many years, right?"

"Well, I haven't seen you for many years..." Qin Dawei called Sun Fujing's old position in the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission to show his intimacy. Think about it ten years ago, Sun Fujing was transferred to the Provincial Planning Commission for work as a department-level cadre. During the ten years, he experienced training from multiple departments. At this time, he was in charge of Huaimei Group. As a deputy department-level staff, he was considered to be a senior official.

After ten years of going from department level to deputy department, it seems that the promotion is slow, but in terms of the real official ecology, Sun Fujing's career is still smooth and is still appreciated.

It is incomparable to Li Gu, the rising star of the Jijing Department, but in the officialdom of Huaihai Province, where nearly 40% of the city and department-level officials are about to reach a limit in five years, Sun Fujing, who is only 50 years old during the Chinese New Year, is still considered a young and strong school.

Chen Huai also had Qin Dawei and knew more about Sun Fujing. In the previous few meetings, Chen Huai did not have the chance to have too deep contact with Sun Fujing because there were other people with higher status present.

Sun Fujing smiled at Chen Huai and said, "Chen Huai, you are a busy person now. I haven't caught you for several times. You should know that you are a good friend of Xiao Qin, so you don't have to go through so many twists."

"This is Mr. Sun, you praised me. Mr. Sun has something to do and ask me for it. Can I hide if I call me?" Chen Huai said with a smile.

To be serious, Sun Fujing was transferred to take charge of Huai Coal and was promoted by the former provincial party secretary. Therefore, Sun belonged to the old family in the officialdom of Huaihai Province, and did not match Zhao and Tian.

Although the former provincial party secretary retired and did not serve in the National People's Congress or the CPPCC due to physical reasons, his influence over the years of business is still there.

Sun Fujing, the former provincial party secretary, promoted and appointed an old man. Although Su Weijun did not have enough prestige to gather them around him, he could still take care of each other with the same spirit and branches without being oversuppressed by both leaves and fields.

There is no so-called honesty in the officialdom. Qin Dawei and Sun Fujing are of too low level of working together. Chen Huai never thought that through Qin Dawei, there would be a possibility of collusion with Sun Fujing.

Regarding the issue of Meigang's backdoor listing, the further division within the Song Dynasty actually left Chen Huai's time to adjust the layout, and there was no way to slowly collude with Sun Fujing. Therefore, he adopted the most direct method to put direct pressure on Huai Coal and Sun Fujing.

If Xinpu Steel Plant's annual coke order of 150,600,000 tons is not attractive to Huai Coal and Sun Fujing, then it can only be given up.

Regarding Sun Fujing's position at this time and the degree of participation of Huai Coal Group in the entire Huai Coal East Project, Chen Huai believed that Sun Fujing had a certain understanding of the problems within the Song Dynasty. In this case, due to Mei Gang's deliberate neglect, Sun Fujing still refused to give up Mei Gang's coke order, which means that he still wanted to make a difference in charge of Huai Coal.

Chen Huai is not afraid of people and things, but he will not be afraid of contacting and cooperating with officials and leaders of state-owned enterprises who want to achieve success.

Time is limited, and everyone is very busy. Li Gu and Sun Fujing are straightforward and talk directly about coke orders from Xinpu Steel Plant. Chen Huai doesn't go around any circle, but also talks directly about the construction of the coal trading market.

"Before the construction of Xinpu Steel Plant, Meigang took over the transformation of Xiapu's Zhaopu Iron Smelting Plant to ensure the iron supply of Meigang Factory 1 and 2," said Chen Huai. Electric furnace steelmaking uses scrap steel as the main raw material, but it also needs to add a certain pig iron to adjust the carbon ratio. After the rectification, the annual pig iron output of Zhaopu Iron Smelting Plant reached 200,000 tons, which is the most important raw material factory for Meigang Factory 1 and 2. "In the process of rectification of Zhaopu Steel Plant, we found that the province's coal market transactions were chaotic, not only the price was chaotic, but the coke quality supplied was also uneven, making it difficult for the iron plant to control the procurement quality. Therefore, in the later stage, we compressed the procurement quantity of coke in the province and turned to find a stable source of coke from other provinces. When we were preparing for the construction of Xinpu Steel, we also followed this idea inertia for the supply organization of raw materials..."

"Secretary Li asked me to come and meet. I also guessed that Secretary Li hoped that the development of Meigang could drive the economic development of the province more significantly," Chen Huai said. "But when it comes to the problems of the coal market in the province, I still have great concerns. But when it comes to how to rectify the coal market in the province, Dawei and Wu Hao have a deep study, which is also the reason why I brought them over to meet Secretary Li and Mr. Sun..."

Sun Fujing and Li Gu looked at each other.

They have communicated with the current problems in the coal market in the province just now, and it can be said with certainty that Huai Coal Group's losses are related to the loss of large amounts of "market coal" profits.

Speaking of research on the coal market in the province, Qin Dawei, Wu Hao, even Chen Huai, no matter how profound their research is, they cannot be more professional than Sun Fujing.

Huaihai Province produces 30 million tons of coal at this time, and Meigang's future coke purchases will only account for 5%. In this proportion, Meigang is not enough to have a say in the coal industry in the province.

The problem is that the 30 million tons of coal produced in Huaihai Province each year mainly concentrates the profits of coking coal and coke. Others are either small profits or losses.

Huaihai Province produces coking coal and coke every year less than two million tons, but the profit generated accounts for almost half of the entire coal industry in the province.

Before Xinpu Steel Plant, Huaigang was the largest blast furnace coke user in the province. Due to its relatively backward technology and a high unit coke consumption ratio, the existing blast furnace steelmaking production capacity consumes nearly one million tons of coke every year, accounting for half of the province's coke production.

However, Huaigang has its own coal factory and coking plant. The profits of this part of the coke market are also an important source of profit for Huaigang, which is something other coal companies cannot participate in sharing.

At this time, if you measure the annual coke purchase of Meigang of 150,600,000 tons, you can tell how important it is.

What is the right to speak?

The right to speak is that Meigang handed over the order to Huaimei Group. More than 10,000 cadres and staff of Huaimei Group can eat and drink enough, which can make Sun Fujing's position in Huaimei Group stable, and the rise of prestige can make Huaimei Group stand out among many provincial state-owned enterprises, which can make Huaimei Group able to expand, and allow Sun Fujing to obtain more rising political capital...

If Meigang handed over the order to other coal companies, or even to Huai Coal Group and Sun Fujing's competitors, once the province loses patience with Sun Fujing's delay in improving the operating conditions of Huai Coal Group, Sun Fujing can only be transferred to other provincial departments, municipalities or department-level state-owned enterprises to serve as deputy positions until retirement.

The reality is so cruel. The appointment decision-making power of the municipal officials is in the provincial standing committee, and the provincial bosses all have their own direct troops. Sun Fujing cannot get along with both sides and has no hard power to support him, so there is no possibility of gaining a foothold.

Therefore, no matter how Sun Fujing thinks that his research on the coal market in the province is more in-depth than Qin Dawei, Wu Hao and even Shen Huai, he can only suppress his temper and listen to Qin Dawei and Wu Hao talking about the construction of the coal trading market.

It was six o'clock when Shen Huai received a call from his sister-in-law to come over for dinner, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Li Gu said: "I was also very inspired by the understanding between Director Qin and Xiao Wu. If you really want to establish a coal trading market, it is naturally the most suitable place to place it in Xinpu Port. In this way, Director Qin, Xiao Wu, with Huai Coal Group and Xinpu Port, will you plan a more detailed proposal for the construction of the coal trading market? So that everyone can have a basis for further discussion?"

Sun Fujing looked at Li Gu, nodded, and said, "This is more appropriate. This work is to speed up the progress..." But hesitated and asked Li Gu, "Do you want to ask the Provincial Planning Commission to participate?"

To truly build a coal trading market of the province, that is the scope of authority of the Provincial Planning Commission.

Putting aside the Provincial Planning Commission, and letting a deputy department-level official from the province's foreign economic and trade take the lead in doing this, it will be impossible to treat it, and it will cause great unnecessary trouble and controversy.

Li Gu looked at Shen Huai, and Shen Huai's eyes just looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

Li Gu smacked his lips and said, "If this coal trading market is just a co-built by Huai Coal and Xinpu Development Group, and the main thing to rectify the 'market coal trading' order of Huai Coal Group, then there is no need to let the Provincial Planning Commission participate..."
