Early the next morning, Chen Yuanming and Song Kaiwen came to the office building of the Municipal Party Committee and held a face-to-face meeting at the invitation of Secretary Yang. This time, because he was too hasty to go home, he has not yet met with the main leaders of the city, so this interview is naturally crucial.
As soon as the car drove downstairs, Secretary Wan greeted him and extended his right hand cordially, "Secretary Yang went to the province for a meeting two days ago, so Chen Dong has been waiting for a long time."
"Where is it?" Chen Yuanming shook his hand back, "Secretary Yang is busy with official business, so I am flattered that he can arrange time for a meeting so quickly."
"Haha, Chen Dongyan is serious."
The two laughed and walked upstairs hand in hand.
Today, the buildings of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are still built in the 1950s and 1960s. They are old-fashioned Soviet buildings. There is no doubt that they are strong, but the furnishings and structures inside are very simple. The so-called government does not repair the government office. For the highly mobile city government team, spending money and energy to repair office buildings is just a successor service, so few people are stupid enough to toss for this "face problem". , so that the government building has always maintained a clean and dignified appearance.
Secretary Yang's office is located in the northwest corner of the 5th floor. From the outside, it is also the most common lacquered door panel. There is no decoration such as door frame wrapping. 's style. The office area is very large, and it is still a suite structure. There is no shortage of leather sofas, wooden coffee tables, and large desks. However, there are no luxury items such as ornaments. Instead, there are professional books and various materials on the table and the wall. In the atmosphere, there is also a lean and practical, and it can be seen that the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee is a person who is willing to do practical things.
"Oh? Xiao Chen is here." Looking up from the pile of documents, Secretary Yang stood up with a smile and greeted him in person.
Chen Yuanming stepped a little faster, stepped forward and held Secretary Yang's hand, "In the first half of the year, the group was busy with affairs, and I really couldn't get out of it. I just rushed back to the city recently. I would also like to thank the secretary for his care for us over the past few days. "
"Haha, Xiao Chen, you are being too modest." Secretary Yang shook his head with a smile, "It is our government officials' job to create an excellent investment environment. Now the city is full of waste, and Lai Yuanyang has the ability to create an excellent investment environment. Companies with a sense of social responsibility are fully supported.”
After singing and harmony, the tone of the talks was basically set, and both parties took their seats with friendly smiles. The main purpose of this meeting is still the mineral development project that Yuanyang is planning to carry out. Since the state has expressly stipulated that foreign investment in the same project shall not exceed 10 million US dollars, and the establishment of a large-scale mine with a complete system, only land purchase and mining licenses. It's not a small number. At the same time, since it is a real rare metal mining, it is impossible for the relevant departments to leave it alone. Joint venture with the local government is the only way.
However, the biggest problem now is still the lack of finance. Even if the shares are invested in the form of resources, there is still a large funding gap for the mine. However, Yuanyang Fund does not want to spend a lot of money to marry others, so it is bound to increase the amount of capital investment, at least to make itself the actual controlling shareholder of the mine. With the superposition of the two sides, it is not only the existing investment environment that needs to be overcome, but also efforts to communicate with relevant ministries and commissions such as the Provincial Party Committee and the Ministry of Land and Resources to solve the current policy problems.
"This time I went to the province and also communicated with Secretary Wang of the provincial party committee."
After two rounds of greetings, the topic turned to the essence. Secretary Yang put his hands on his knees at will, and said seriously, "Now there are restrictions on national policies, but special matters still need to be handled specially. , which is related to the economic development of our city in the next ten years, and is very worthy of careful study by the Standing Committee. According to Secretary Wang, Yuanyang cannot be treated as a purely foreign-funded enterprise. There are still too few tycoons in construction to cool everyone's enthusiasm."
To be honest, Chen Yuanming doesn't really care about this kind of official cliché, but listening to Secretary Yang, it seems that the investment quota may be loosened? With a slight smile, he took a stack of documents from Song Kaiwen and handed them to Secretary Yang.
"We can rest assured that the province and city can support Yuanyang's work. This is the preparatory plan of Yuanyang Mining. We have signed an agreement with the Swedish company Sandvik. The core equipment such as mine blasting, crushing and screening are all available. Rely on imports, maximize the utilization of the complex ore veins in western Henan, and improve the utilization rate of tailings. The construction of tailings dam also adopts international advanced technology, and is currently under investigation and planning. If the project progresses smoothly, it can greatly reduce the environmental impact. pollution and achieve sustainable development of resources.”
Secretary Yang took the document and glanced at it. "Have you made environmental protection a priority? In this case, the investment quota will increase a lot, right?"
It is not surprising to have this question. Nowadays, which foreign-funded enterprise is not high pollution and high energy consumption, it is the general trend to trade the environment and resources for economic development. Yuanyang's efforts in these areas are not just a matter of investment quota.
The smile on Chen Yuanming's face has not changed, "After all, he is a native of his hometown, and economic development must also be considered for future generations. According to Yuanyang's current estimates, equipment and construction investment may cost 20 million US dollars, and other expenses are 150-20 million US dollars. It’s hard to tell about follow-up investments.”
"About 40 million US dollars..." Secretary Yang fell into deep thought. This is a huge investment of 300 million yuan. If the city wants to maintain its shareholding, it may not be enough to rely on the mine itself. There is really no spare capacity. He has just been transferred to the city, but he is very concerned about the city's economic development. In the past two years, more than 100 state-owned enterprises in the city have faced losses more or less. Just to fill this hole and let these non-performing assets continue to operate will not be enough. Quite difficult, let alone investing in new industries.
Chen Yuanming is not completely ignorant of Secretary Yang's concerns, but the topic must continue, "Of course, mining itself is not our ultimate goal, and now the international molybdenum price is not high. What is needed is the joint efforts of different industries in the city to form a new heavy industry city with high-tech products as the core. At present, the country's research on molybdenum metal can only be considered in its infancy, but this metal is very important for many industries in the future, especially aviation, Aerospace and other aspects are of great significance, it should not be used only as a steel smelting ingredient, how to develop its other values is the key."
"Well, Xiao Chen, I can understand your thoughts, but there are also difficulties in the city." Secretary Yang finally put down the information in his hand and gently pinched the bridge of his nose, "The transformation of state-owned enterprises is always a difficult point, who does not know The transformation is good, but the key is to simplify the burden after the transformation. The city has too many concerns in this regard. Even if a high-tech development zone is established, it is expected to be a processing enterprise, whether it is to digest labor force or export foreign exchange. It can solve big problems. Really high-tech... The input is too large, the output is too slow, the risk is often higher than the city government's expectations, and there are still various difficulties to implement... "
This may sound like prevarication, but Chen Yuanming knew in his heart that this was indeed the biggest difficulty that Secretary Yang faced. In this era, if you want to revitalize a high-tech city, seven or eight years are essential. However, as local officials, the term of office is only five years, and most of the prefecture-level cadres will be promoted and transferred to other cities if they are not satisfied with their tenure. In such a political environment, who can not pay attention to those companies that can see actual results in the short term, manufacturing and processing is a tax of hundreds of millions a year, paving roads and building buildings can not only increase GDP, but also greatly improve the city appearance The appearance of the city and the increase in fiscal revenue are all real achievements.
On the contrary, to touch those minefields is time-consuming, slow-acting, and high-risk. Even if the fruits are plentiful, it is unknown who will fall into their pockets. Who can be a real stupid person who can mix with prefecture-level cadres in official circles and become a party boss? This kind of face-to-face has caused the general short-sightedness of the middle and lower-level leaders, and the companies below are also trembling. Who knows if the policy will make the money go to waste because the leaders change people.
If you want to open up the joints in this area, you may have to start from the root...
With all kinds of concerns, the morning talks were only superficial. Regarding the development of the mining industry, or cooperation with existing large state-owned enterprises, Secretary Yang naturally highly agrees, and also promises to work hard to communicate with the province and implement policy cooperation and share sharing as soon as possible. But for Yuanyang's next plan, his attitude is quite conservative. Secretary Yang does not know that this is a good thing, but is it worth it to spend a lot of energy to promote it
However, the difficulties in the negotiation did not affect the harmony at the dinner table. At noon, the Municipal Party Committee, accompanied by Secretary Yang, Secretary-General Wan and several major leaders in the city, set up a banquet in the Yingbin Building, which is considered to have come from afar. Chen Dong catches the wind.
This time, the reception standards have been greatly improved, and even Chen Yuanming had to drink a few more glasses. When the toast was delivered, Mayor Li quietly approached Chen Yuanming.
"Dong Chen, I'm really sorry for you..." As soon as he came up, he put on a policy of deputy undercover soldiers. Mayor Li had a wry smile on his face, and his face was full of embarrassment. The oversight made Brother Liu aggrieved. I have seriously criticized their director Gao, and the problem can be solved by Monday at the latest, and please don't take it to heart... "
"Mayor Li is serious." Chen Yuanming smiled, raised his glass to meet the other party, "No matter how good the management above is, there are bound to be some mistakes below. The stall is too big, and who can be omniscient and omnipotent?"
"Hey~~ I can't say that." Mayor Li sighed softly. "The omission in management is not a small problem. When I look back, I have to let Xiao Gao and the others come to the door to apologize, and wash away the stains on Big Brother Liu."
"That's not necessary. My uncle is more concerned about the placement of injured workers. The subsidy for this kind of severe disability is not in place at the factory, which makes him very worried."
"Of course the wounded should be taken seriously!" Mayor Li replied in a serious manner, full of courage, "Our city is a place where heavy industry gathers, and the problem of safety accidents has always been a big problem. Deputy Mayor Zhao has communicated well and will do a city-wide census to further strengthen and improve the safety awareness of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in our city and ensure the interests of employees. Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, my words can still count. "
"Mayor Li has been bothered." Chen Yuanming showed a smile, "With these words, my uncle can leave the copper processing factory with confidence."
"What?" Mayor Li was taken aback, and the Wuliangye in his hand almost overturned. "Why don't you work in the copper processing factory? Now the benefits there are not bad!"
"Well, the benefits are good, but it's not as good as my own. Now that Yuanyang is about to go into production, I'm more at ease with a few of my own family members."
"Ah... it's this principle, it's this principle..."
Hearing Chen Yuanming's explanation, Mayor Li was not easy to refute. is not it! With such a big family business, is it better to hang up casually than to spend a lifetime in a state-owned enterprise? As long as you are not stupid, you should understand how to choose. It seems that it is difficult to climb the line of Liu Weiguo. It's all the grandchildren of the copper processing factory.
Cursing inwardly, but the emotion on his face was steady, Mayor Li chatted casually for a few more words before leaving with Shi Shiran with a glass of wine.
However, not to mention the eyes locked on Liu Weiguo, after officially going to work on Monday, Chen Jianhua and Wang Juan finally encountered a situation they had never experienced before.

The author has something to say: Well, the hometown line is actually a state-owned enterprise line. I don’t know this problem deeply enough, so I just wrote it according to my own ideas. Don’t take it for granted >_
