Steel Tycoon Reborn - Chapter 1005
Entering Shimen in late November, there has just been a snowfall. Looking down from the porthole of the plane, the white patch gives people the illusion that the world is clean.
Walking out from the aisle, I saw Cheng Yi wearing an orange coat standing in the pick-up hall waiting. Her soft and clear face, tall and straight body, and elegant and demure temperament attracted the attention of passing passengers, but she was only gentle Looking at him, Shen Huai felt a warm feeling in his heart. He walked over, ignoring the jealous eyes of others, put Cheng Yi in his arms, and asked, “Have you waited for a long time?”
“Fortunately, it’s only half an hour late.” Cheng Yi asked softly, hugging Shen Huai’s arm.
Shen Huai and Cheng Yi took their suitcases, contacted the driver waiting in the parking lot, and drove to the family compound of the provincial party committee in the twilight; Cheng Yi’s father also rushed back from the provincial government.
At the dinner table, Shen Huai told Cheng Yi’s father the details of the plan to establish Huaihai State-owned Assets.
“This time Huaihai has come to the front, and Ji Province has not yet prepared the conditions for such a heavy state-owned aircraft carrier,” Cheng Wenguang sighed softly after hearing this. He also knew that Huaihai Province had the conditions to establish a state-owned asset management company first. It is also a result of Xu Pei, Li Gu and other officials of the Department of Economics and Planning in Huaihai Province in the past few years to promote the restructuring of state-owned enterprises. In this process, Meigang also participated deeply, so the biggest resistance to taking the first step was greatly eliminated. , and these conditions are not what Ji Province can have now. Even if Ji Province does it forcibly, it will only change the soup but not the medicine, and said, “Although it is the most conservative and effective way to respond to changes without change, it also needs to be A more positive stance…”
Although he may be involved in a deeper factional struggle, Cheng Wenguang still doesn’t want Shen Huai to be timid and pursue balance too much. Whether it is now or in the future, it is unlikely that one faction will dominate. Whether it is central or local, even if a positive attitude will encounter some unforeseen resistance, it cannot be suppressed after all.
“The issue of the coordinated development of the Bohai Bay, Governor Xu also mentioned this time, and since Governor Xu vigorously promotes regional cooperation and local horizontal joint development in the Huaihai Bay, and the regional cooperation between the three provinces and cities in the Bohai Bay, Beijing, Hebei and Jinghai, he is naturally also Supportive attitude,” Shen Huai said, “However, for more specific plans and ideas, it may be more appropriate for Qinghe to propose. I also made an appointment with Ji Chengxi to meet at Shimen tomorrow.”
In the Huaihai state-owned assets construction plan, Shen Huai did not compete with Jiang Yibin for the top position. As the deputy secretary and general manager of the party group, he was more responsible for daily affairs, while the decision-making power of major construction and investment projects and the appointment of major personnel were still attributed to Jiang Yibin’s party group and general manager. Overseeing the Executive Committee.
Such a compromise plan, in addition to making Xu Pei more determined to promote the establishment of Huaihai State-owned Assets, in addition to maintaining relative independence in future factional struggles and maintaining limited cooperation with the Department of Economics and Economics, there is another goal. , Shen Huai also hopes that Xu Pei can play some role in promoting the cooperation in the Bohai Bay region of the three provinces and cities of Beijing-Hebei and Jinghai.
In addition to the central planning and financial system, the Department of Accounting and Economics has its local base mainly in Jinghai.
Xu Pei was also the secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Binhai New Area in Jinghai, and was invited by Tian Jiageng to Huaihai to serve as the secretary of the Xucheng City Party Committee. At this time, the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary Gao Qiyun, as a member of the Politburo, was more than ordinary provinces and cities. The top leader has a higher status, and is basically the core person who will enter the central team in the next session of the Department of Economics.
Xu Pei has a very close relationship with Gao Qiyun. When Gao Qiyun presided over the work of Jinghai Municipal Government, he served as Secretary General of the Municipal Government to Gao Qiyun – to promote the cooperation in the Bohai Bay region of the three provinces and cities of Jinghai, Beijing, Hebei, and Xu Pei. some influence.
Although promoting cooperation in the Bohai Bay region will be a key step for Cheng Yi and her father to ascend to the throne of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee Secretary, Ji Chengxi still needs to do the core work.
The old man of the Ji family passed away unfortunately a few years ago, and the Ji family has since been hidden, but the influence of the Ji family in the political and military circles should not be underestimated. No matter who has the upper hand in the next central group, the Ji Jing Department or the Hu Department, the influence of the Ji family will become the most important balancing force.
Under the full promotion of all aspects, the first phase of the Shanxi Coal East Outbound South Line Project with a total investment of nearly 40 billion was finally completed and put into trial operation in the middle of the year.
After the completion of the first phase of Shanxi Coal East Outlet Project, Jinnan Group has become a coal production capacity of 40 million tons, a power generation capacity of more than 2 million kilowatts of installed capacity, 800 kilometers of heavy-haul railways and 30 million tons of coal. The port throughput capacity and overall scale are more than three times that of the backbone state-owned enterprise of Huaineng Group…
Zhou Tingwei, secretary of the party group and chairman of Jinnan Group, once served as a secretary for Mr. Ji, but after Mr. Ji passed away, Tan Jun’s father Tan Shiwei also joined the board of directors of Jinnan Group as an independent director.
The 800-kilometer Shiqing heavy-haul railway across southern Hebei is also built solely by Jinnan Group, and the ultra-high voltage transmission project “Jinnan Electricity into Beijing and Hebei” that will be promoted will also be the main force of Jinnan Group – Future Hebei The main competitors of Beiluancheng Port, Qinhuangdao Port and Jinghai Port are also Jihe Port, where Jinnan Group occupies a dominant position at this time; Jinnan Group occupies a quarter of the current 40 million tons of annual throughput capacity of Jihe Port. Third, the construction of coal handling terminals will be further expanded in the future, and eventually a coal handling capacity of 200 million tons will be formed.
Therefore, whether it is from the influence of the Ji family or the scale and influence of the coal power and transportation joint ventures that the Ji family has actually formed in southern Shanxi and southern Hebei, to promote the regional cooperation between the three provinces and cities of Jinghai, Beijing, Hebei and Jinghai in the Bohai Bay, Ji Chengxi or It is said that the Ji family are the most suitable main promoters.
****************************
Not only Ji Chengxi, but also Jinnan Group Party Secretary Zhou Tingwei, Ji Chengxi’s uncle Tan Shiwei and others also rushed to Shimen the next day; Cheng Wenguang still invited Ji Chengxi and others to have dinner and talk at home.
Ji Chengxi, Tan Shiwei, and Zhou Tingwei were all quite surprised to know that Huaihai was going to take the lead in establishing a state-owned asset management group. It has a direct relationship with Meigang and the Department of Accounting and Economics. In the past few years, it has actually paved the way for the establishment of Huaihai State-owned Assets, and the work in Ji Province has just started, so the conditions are naturally far less mature than Huaihai.
After the completion of the first phase of Shanxi Coal’s east-to-south line project, Jinnan Group has been able to rank 12 among the backbone state-owned enterprises with assets of over 10 billion, but considering the scale of Huaihai State-owned Assets after the establishment, Jinnan Group, as a discipline, fully supports the development In front of Cheng Wenguang and Shen Huai, Zhou Tingwei couldn’t help shaking his head and sighed: “Huaihai can now set up a state-owned group, which really makes people feel complicated…”
The project of Shanxi Coal’s east-to-south route, if it simply transits through southern Hebei, will have limited collateral economic benefits to the areas along the route, and at the same time will compete with coal transportation routes and coal transportation ports in northern Hebei. The attitude towards the southern line project is ambiguous and does not give practical support. Whether it is the Jihe Port or the heavy-haul railway, the Jinnan Group invested in the construction in the early stage.
The project of Shanxi Coal’s east-to-south line was started in 1995. The original plan was to complete it by the end of 2001. However, after Cheng Wenguang became the governor of Hebei Province, the Meishan Iron and Steel Department and the Yexin Bank jointly adopted various forms to help Shanxi Province. Nan Group provided nearly 5 billion construction funds, which is the key to the project being completed one and a half years ahead of schedule.
In the past few years, Meigang has directly participated in the construction and industrial development of Jihe Port and Jihe New District, and has successively invested more than 200 million US dollars. Moving Yanjing Iron and Steel to build a production base in Jihe means even more significant to the development of Qinghe City.
Yangang’s new 3 million-ton steel-making capacity in Jihe is about to be put into operation. At the same time, together with Qinghe City, it plans to build a larger-scale steel industry base with a steel-making capacity of over 10 million tons at Jihe Port. It will promote the industrial development and upgrading of Qinghe River. At the same time, it will directly promote Qinghe River to become an important pole of the Bohai Bay Rim together with the development of the Shanxi Coal East Line South Line Project and other industrial clusters.
This played a key role in the consolidation and prestige of Ji Chengxi’s position in Qinghe and even in Hebei Province.
At the same time, with the development and rise of the industrial cluster of Jihe Port, in addition to exporting coal, Shiqing Heavy Duty Railway and Jihe Port will also bring huge economic benefits, which will also greatly reduce the future operation pressure of Jinnan Group – Qinghe City With rapid development, not only will there be more local resources, but also more external resources will be attracted to participate in the follow-up construction of the southern route project.
From these perspectives, it was a very successful move by the Ji family to help Cheng Wenguang to serve as the governor of Hebei Province at that time: both Cheng Wenguang and Shen Huai were excellent collaborators of the Ji Department.
Although the development of the Meigang Department in Huaihai is even more rapid, which makes people feel complicated, the follow-up cooperation will undoubtedly continue firmly.
Ji Department promotes Jinnan Group to become the main body of the construction of the southern route project. It has the right to develop a large coal field with geological reserves of more than 30 billion tons in Jinnan. However, at the beginning of the project, Jinnan Group did not have construction funds in its hands. The construction funds of 100 million yuan mainly come from bank loans.
Although Jinnan Group has a huge debt of 40 billion at this time, it still has to build the second phase of the project, expand the coal transportation capacity of the southern line, and invest huge sums of money in the development of coal-electricity combined transportation, so as to promote the “Jinnan Electricity into Hebei and Beijing”. “Project construction, the thirst for funds in the future is still huge.
This time, Zhou Tingwei, Tan Shiwei and Ji Chengxi came together. In addition to promoting the cooperation in the Bohai Rim region of the three provinces and cities in Jinghai, Hebei, and Jinghai, there are more specific cooperation matters to discuss with Shen Huai and Cheng Wenguang.
The establishment of Huaihai State-owned Assets, although Zhou Tingwei and others heard a bit complicated, but it is also good news for Jinnan Group, which also means that Shen Huai will have more resources in his hands to promote the cooperation between the two parties.
Facing Jinnan Group’s thirst for capital, Shen Huai said: “After the establishment of Huaihai State-owned Assets, in order to optimize and improve the asset structure of provincial state-owned assets, we will appropriately reduce investment in industries and increase investment in infrastructure and energy with clearer future returns. , if Jinnan Group can use the assets of Shiqing Railway to form a joint-stock company, Huaihai State-owned Assets can purchase 20% of the equity…”
The southern line is a systematic project. Jinnan Group has never had any intention of taking a 100% stake in the Shiqing Railway. However, due to the lack of interest in the southern line project in Hebei Province at first, the Shiqing Railway, with a total investment of more than 15 billion yuan, was issued in addition to the issuance of five. In addition to the one billion bonds, the other nearly ten billion investments are all undertaken by Jinnan Group.
If Jinnan Group takes out the assets of Shiqing Railway to form a joint-stock company, even if the net capital is converted into a 20% stake in Huaihai State-owned Assets, it can return 2 billion in funds.
“As soon as Huaihai State-owned Assets was established, you transferred 2 billion funds to other provinces. Are you not afraid that someone in Huaihai Province will stab you in the back?” Ji Chengxi asked with a smile. He has been dealing with Shen Huai for a long time and knows that such a good thing will not end. to their heads.
“The next step of Jinnan Group is to focus on promoting coal power operations, and to promote Jinan Electric’s entry into Hebei and Beijing, and it must be interested in power equipment manufacturing,” Shen Huai said, “Jinnan Group can invest 2 billion in Huaihai Electric. what……”
“Look, I just said there’s nothing good, right?” Ji Chengxi and Zhou Tingwei laughed.
Zhou Tingwei laughed dumbly, but when he thought about Shen Huai’s construction, Jinnan Group didn’t seem to have any capital gains, but such a trick would be of great benefit to both parties.
The core of Jinnan Group’s future development is still to become an energy-based super enterprise. Large-scale coal-to-electricity is an inevitable step. Even if a piece of power equipment is not willing to give up, it will not be able to enter at this time. Take out the Shiqing Railway 20 % of the equity, and exchange nearly 20% of Huaihai Electric’s equity may be a more appropriate move at the moment~www.mtlnovel.com~ It’s just that Huaihai State-owned Assets has gained too many benefits from it:
The establishment of Huaihai Electric is a big step that Shen Huai has just made to promote the restructuring of Huaihai state-owned assets, and it is also a move that Meishan Iron and Steel has penetrated the most in the state-owned assets system of Huaihai Province – if Shen Huai directly allocates 2 billion funds within Huaihai state-owned assets to Huaihai Electric for use It is conceivable how much controversy will be caused by the development.
Shen Huai purchased the equity of Shiqing Railway with 2 billion yuan to improve the investment structure of Huaihai state-owned assets. In the end, the 2 billion yuan was transferred to Huaihai Electric through the hands of Jinnan Group, and Huaihai Electric could obtain 2 billion yuan of development funds – and Huaihai Electric Co., Ltd. Provincially speaking, the inflow and outflow of funds are balanced, and there is no outflow of funds. Even if others know that Shen Huai’s main intention is to promote the development of Huaihai Electric, they will remain silent because of the participation of the Ji family and Jinnan Group.
Once Jinnan Group invests and holds shares in Huaihai Electric, in the future, Jinnan Group will vigorously develop coal power, develop Jinan Electric into Hebei and Beijing, and Huaihai Electric can quickly enter the power equipment market in North China and other places.
More importantly, this equity swap will enable Jijia, Jinnan Group, Huaihai Province, and Meigang to build a more direct cooperation bridge. This bridge may be what Xu Pei urgently needs at this time, but think about it. , this bridge is not without great benefits to the Ji family and the Jinnan Group.
In the struggle between the Department of Planning and Economics and the Department of Hu, the Ji family and the Jinnan Group did not say that they could stay out of it if they wanted to. Otherwise, should the cooperation in the Bohai Bay region be promoted?
Meigang and Huaihai State-owned Assets Group have limited support for Jinnan Group in the future, but Jinghai, where the accounting and economics department dominates, is close at hand. If they want to win more resources from Jinghai in the future, the two sides should promote regional coordination more closely. For development, Jijia and Jinnan Group still have to maintain a closer cooperative relationship with the Department of Economics.
