Fang Zhicheng could only sigh. Due to the limitations of his position, there were many things he wanted to do but he didn't have the ability to do them. So this indirectly forced himself to keep working hard and move forward slowly, just like practicing martial arts. Only when he had stronger strength could he unlock more power.
When it was almost time to get off work, Zhao Qingya called. Fang Zhicheng knew that there might be some progress on the light rail project, so he asked with a smile, "Good news or bad news?"
Zhao Qingya sighed and said, "It should be said that there are both good and bad things."
Fang Zhicheng said, "Tell me about it."
Zhao Qingya said: "The Hanzhou hub of the Qionghan intercity light rail project is set in Xiaguang District. However, the Railway Bureau has reduced the alliance's shares. Originally our shares were 38%, but now they have dropped to 28%."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and asked in confusion, "Why did it decrease by 10%? Could it be that other capital was introduced?"
Zhao Qingya sighed and said, "It's not that other capital is introduced, but the Railway Bureau wants to increase its shares."
Fang Zhicheng was puzzled and said, "The Railway Office originally held 8% of the shares, which was already an exaggerated figure. After all, they only invested in technology without any resource investment."
Zhao Qingya smiled bitterly and said, "This year, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission will invest a special fund in the light rail project, and use this fund to replace the shares."
Fang Zhicheng sneered and said, "This is a good account. The state's financial subsidies should have originally belonged to the project. This is an additional compensation, but I didn't expect the railway office to count this money as shares. In this way, it increased the bargaining chips in their hands."
Fang Zhicheng could probably also guess that this must be a trick played by Jin Feng.
On the surface, this form is reasonable. The Railway Bureau allocates funds to projects, and projects give shares. This seems reasonable. But from another perspective, the government subsidizes funds every year to reward companies for their outstanding contributions. According to the logic of the Railway Bureau, shouldn't every company that receives government subsidies give shares to the government
If an enterprise is well run, it can provide state support in terms of employment and taxation, which is actually the largest share given to the state. State subsidies are also a form of giving back to enterprises.
The current behavior of the railway bureau has a tendency to double-suck blood. A careful analysis shows that this is very unreasonable.
Fang Zhicheng sighed softly, "Did the provincial party committee respond?"
Zhao Qingya sighed and said slowly, "It seems we have fallen into a trap. The Railway Bureau's plan to set up a light rail transportation hub in Youhu County is actually just a feint."
Fang Zhicheng's eyes showed a hint of realization, and he realized the mystery. In fact, the Railway Office proposed to set up a transportation hub in Youhu County just to pave the way for the real purpose later. The Railway Office wanted more shares, so it first proposed a plan that would make Hongda Group jump up and down. When Hongda Group negotiated with it, the Railway Office proposed its true intention during the bargaining, and asked Hongda Group to choose one of the two.
The city alliance headed by Hongda Group fell into a passive position during this round of negotiations. Choosing to set up a central hub in Hanzhou Xiaguang District meant that they had to give up their shares.
Ten percent of the shares are too many, but according to the current situation, even if Hongda succeeds in bargaining, at least five percent of the shares must be given to the railway office.
Chapter 0646 Hongda's Strong Response
"Jin Feng..."
Fang Zhicheng's feelings towards this name have gone from disgust to numbness. This guy would always show up unexpectedly to obstruct the Qiong-Han integration project. Of course, Jin Feng did not deliberately want to destroy the Qiong-Han integration project, but Jin Feng and himself had completely different views on this project.
Fang Zhicheng believes that enterprises should be given sufficient freedom to advance their projects according to market rules. The government should not be involved and should not even exercise supervisory power. The success or failure will ultimately be borne by the enterprises themselves, and the government will not be responsible.
Jin Feng is naturally skeptical of businesses. He believes that businesses are inherently greedy and will do anything to achieve their goals. He even suspects that the Hongda Group does not intend to really carry out the Qiong-Han integration project, but is just trying to get something for nothing and obtain government support funds through a backdoor listing.
Because of the different perspectives and concepts, Fang Zhicheng and Jin Feng have completely different ways and methods of dealing with the business.
Jin Feng believes that all capitalists are evil. He believes that any company that has anything to do with capital is inherently a vampire that has no sense of social responsibility and exploits the common people.
Fang Zhicheng believes that entrepreneurs’ contributions to society should be viewed objectively. If enterprises are not given sufficient freedom, today’s society will still be very backward. It is precisely because the government has gradually let go of the market and allowed capital to be free that the economic environment has become active.
Of course, Fang Zhicheng's attitude towards capitalists was not blind trust. He just believed that the government should treat dynamic enterprises with tolerance and not stifle their creativity, especially by using power, which was extremely dangerous and unwise.
Many provinces and cities across the country are now carrying out urban integration projects, but none of them are truly creative. The reason why the integration of Qionghan has attracted so much attention is mainly because the model itself is an innovation. If the government interferes too much in the affairs of enterprises, it will affect the future of the Qionghan integration project.
After chatting with Zhao Qingya for a long time, Fang Zhicheng gave her two suggestions. First, in terms of the integration of transportation, Hongda Group must not give in. Now the Railway Bureau and the Provincial Railway Group seem to have already taken control of them. At this critical moment, they must grit their teeth and persevere, and not easily give up the dominance of this project. Second, it is time to communicate with Secretary Wen to let Secretary Wen understand the difficulties of Hongda Group and at the same time express his attitude. The Qiong-Han integration project is a whole. Making transportation independent and not adopting the PPP model is a decision that goes against the original spirit of the bidding.
Zhao Qingya pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "We have communicated with Secretary Wen before with the help of Vice Governor Zhao, but Secretary Wen still acquiesced to the actions of the Railway Office. This is a major move after Jiang Yong, the director of the Development and Reform Commission, took office. Secretary Wen is his old boss, and he must support the work of his trusted subordinates."
Zhao Guoyi also came forward. Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly, "It's not appropriate for him to come forward."
Zhao Qingya smiled bitterly and said, "My brother is also acting on public grounds. He hopes to communicate with Secretary Wen and sever his ties with the Hongda Group."
Fang Zhicheng sighed, "It's a pity that some things become more and more ugly the more you explain them. Sometimes it is more effective to speak out the truth."
Zhao Qingya said: "So from Secretary Wen's perspective, there is no other way. He has already made up his mind."
The provincial governor has a plan in his mind about what to do and does not need guidance from others. He knows clearly how to handle things in order to avoid the biggest risks and ultimately get the biggest benefits.
Fang Zhicheng said, "Perhaps we should meet with Secretary Wen. I know him a little bit. He is not a stubborn person who cannot adapt. As long as we explain the seriousness of the matter to him, he will definitely change his mind."
Zhao Qingya was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "You don't have any relationship with Secretary Wen, do you?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's not a relationship, I just sent a message through a channel."
Zhao Qingya was a little surprised when she heard what Fang Zhicheng said. Then she thought about it and realized that Fang Zhicheng was no longer the young man she had met a few years ago, but an official who had worked hard in the officialdom and had his own network of contacts.
Zhao Qingya said: "Since you have a method, then I will place all my bets on you. Starting tomorrow, the Qiong-Han integration project will be suspended!"
Fang Zhicheng said, "It's not good to make such a big fuss, right?"
Zhao Qingya said with full aura: "I am also a person with a temper. The government has violated the contract agreement many times. I considered the overall situation and didn't care. Now they are pushing it too far and want to reduce our profits in the area of traffic integration. In order to protect my own power, I can only make a difficult decision."
Fang Zhicheng joked: "Sister, you are causing trouble."
Zhao Qingya shook her head and said firmly: "I'm not making trouble. I just want to sort things out and let each other know their roles and situations."
