Chapter 502: It Can't Be a Liar

The boss of the strategic public relations department of Jiagu Group, Zhang Zehong has "returned to his hometown"!

Zhang Zehong's hometown is in Linfen City, Shanxi Province, and when he returned to his hometown, he was warmly welcomed by Song Wanyu, a senior official of the Linfen Municipal Party Committee.

As one of the founders of Jiagu Group and one of the giants of Jiagu Group, Zhang Zehong gradually became known to the public as Jiagu became famous.

His net worth is a mystery, but what is certain is that as the left arm and right-hand man who has followed Qi Zheng all the way to start a business, Zhang Zehong owns part of the equity of Jiagu Group, and is a proper new rich man.

Of course, if it is just the identity of a wealthy party, Zhang Zehong will not make Song Wanyu, a senior official of the Linfen Municipal Party Committee, look sideways, but if it can bring huge investment projects, it is different.

After receiving the news that Jiagu Group had investment intentions, Song Wanyu gave Zhang Zehong, who had returned to his hometown, a great courtesy, and the two were chatting happily at this time.

“...... Mr. Zhang, first of all, we would like to thank you for your intention to return to your hometown. However, this 'energy forest project' of Jiagu is not Jiagu's main business, right?" Song Wanyu said with a smile.

Originally, when they heard that Jiagu Group intended to enter Linfen City, the municipal party committee thought that it was an investment in agricultural projects. After all, in addition to being an important coal-producing base in Shanxi Province, Linfen City is also an important grain and cotton production base in North China, rich in wheat and cotton, and is known as the "hometown of cotton and wheat" and "the land of ointment".

However, according to the analysis of the news revealed by Jiagu Group, although this investment is related to forestry planting, it is really not an agricultural project.

Zhang Zehong shook his head with a smile and said softly: "To tell you, bioenergy has been taken as the next key development business of our group, and the 'energy forest project' invested in Jin Province is an important part of it. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zehong continued: "Actually, I strongly promote this project to land in Linfen, and I also have the idea of helping my hometown solve the dilemma. ”

"Oh?" Song Wanyu was stunned, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Zhang Zehong smiled and said: "Coal is the largest mineral resource in our city, and it is also the pillar industry of our city, but we all know that not only our city, but even the entire Jin Province, which is prosperous because of 'black gold', will inevitably be trapped in the trap of 'black gold'. ”

Song Wanyu bowed his head, and these words spoke to his heart. For a long time, Jin Province has a single economic structure due to the wealth brought by coal, and is accustomed to the days of lying down and making money from coal, but people of insight have seen the beginning of hidden worries.

It's okay to say that coal is in a bull market so far, but there will be a year, two years, or three years like this?

Therefore, the Jin Provincial Government has been looking for a way to transform, but in the era of "lying down to make money", the transformation momentum is insufficient.

But can Jiagu's so-called "energy forest" project really bring hope for transformation?

Zhang Zehong skipped this topic and said: "In addition, the development of coal mines should bring great pressure to our province's ecological environment and water resources protection, geological disaster prevention, pollution control and environmental restoration......

Song Wanyu continued to bow his head. Since 07, Jin Province has been collecting deposits for mine environmental restoration and governance from coal mining enterprises, charging 10 yuan per ton of raw coal, all of which are used for ecological environment restoration. But the transition from barren and fragile to green and pleasant will require an astronomical amount of investment.

Song Wanyu also learned in advance that Jiagu Group has a large ranch in Heshun County, Jin Province, which has been restored and reclaimed from abandoned mining areas - it is precisely because of his successful experience that he has great expectations for Jiagu.

Zhang Zehong said with confidence: "If our 'energy tree project' can be promoted in the province, I dare not say that it can completely solve the above two major problems, but I dare to say that it can bring a new situation to Jin Province!"

The province that values energy value the most in China is Jin Province, and the province that is most eager to change the single energy structure is also Jin Province. Regarding Zhang Zehong's "big words", believe it or not, don't say it first, but Song Wanyu is already bright-eyed.

Zhang Zehong talked eloquently: "In fact, the 'energy tree project' is the jatropha project, according to China's current biodiesel standards, the biodiesel extracted from the jatropha has fully reached the standard, that is, the conditions are ripe for mass production." ”

"The construction of jatropha energy forest base is the key to the development of the biodiesel industry. According to the field calculations of our group experts, the jatropha trees we promote and plant can bring considerable economic benefits. According to the calculation of planting 1 million mu, 650,000 tons of fruits can be harvested, more than 300,000 tons of oil can be produced, and the output value of biofuel can reach more than 1.3 billion yuan. In addition, it can also produce 40,000 tons of biological pesticides, 65,000 tons of biological fertilizers, 120,000 tons of biological protein powder, and 100,000 tons of activated carbon, with a total output value of more than 5 billion yuan. ”

"In addition, the planting of jatropha can not only form a bioenergy industry with excellent benefits, but also promote the adjustment of agricultural structure, increase farmers' income, and increase employment rate. In the collection, transportation, processing and other links of jatropha fruit can effectively absorb labor, which is a great help for the city's economic transformation......"

Hearing this, Song Wanyu's brain was already a little wooden.

He had done his homework before, and his first impression of the domestic jatropha industry was that it began to be popular and fell silent.

Moreover, if he remembers correctly, the information on the jatropha tree clearly reads that it is "suitable for growing south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains", and that it is not reliable to build a jatropha energy forest base in Jin Province.

Glancing at Zhang Zehong, whose eyes were shining, Song Wanyu couldn't help but think wildly: "This Mr. Zhang, shouldn't he be a liar? If you go back to your hometown to deceive people, it will be too lacking in morality!"

......

The same doubts arise in the energy companies linked by Jiagu, such as PetroChina and CNOOC.

As a plant, jatropha is in the upstream stage of the industrial chain, and it needs to be processed and refined into biodiesel after planting, but where is it sold after refining?

The processing and sale of diesel fuel is controlled by a few oil giants in China, and Jiagu can only contact the big oil majors, and it is impossible to set up its own sales points.

At this time, it reflects the importance of Wang Yuye, the group boss in the petrochemical system. He has connections in the middle and senior levels of several major domestic oil giants.

It's just that the major oil giants who fell into the pit in the jatropha investment boom in the past few years and have not yet climbed out have extremely consistent attitudes towards the jatropha planting project - respect and gratitude.

In a telephone contact with a vice president of Sinopec, he immediately gave advice: "Lao Wang, if you plant jatropha trees, I advise you to be cautious!"

"I said, why do you avoid jatropha trees one by two?" Wang Yuye replied angrily.

The other party smiled: "What, who else said the same thing?"

"CNOOC's old Lin and PetroChina's old money all have the same attitude!" These are all old acquaintances of Wang Yuye.

"Hahaha!" The voice on the phone was a little deafening, "Lao Wang, let's be honest with you, jatropha planting is a sinkhole!"

"The restrictions are too great! The planting technology is immature, there are many pests and diseases, and the suitable range is very narrow. Several of our jatropha investments in Sichuan Province have hit a wall. ”

"Don't be misled by the data on the data, some reports say that the yield per mu is 500 kilograms, but in fact the yield is less than 500 kilograms, and the moisture is too large. ”

"You say there is a state financial subsidy? That's right, there is a subsidy for the jatropha raw material base, etc., and the subsidy standard is 200 yuan per mu. However, it is not easy to get subsidies, the scale must reach at least 300,000 mu, and there are no less than 500 mu of seedling breeding base before it can be declared. Well, as far as I know, there are not many jatropha raw material bases that can be declared for domestic investment. ”

"In fact, this subsidy is also a drop in the bucket, because the upfront investment is very large, but the output is very unsatisfactory. In fact, the three of us have invested in jatropha in Sichuan Province, and only the jatropha raw material base invested by PetroChina is slightly larger, but it is still 108,000 miles away from the goal of completing the investment plan. ”

"By the way, where did you say the jatropha planting base that Jiagu plans to invest in come from?"

The corners of Wang Yuye's mouth hooked slightly: "In Jin Province." ”

"That's ...... What? I heard you right, you said it was in Jin Province?"

Wang Yuye had already raised the phone farther away, and he no longer sold Guanzi: "Cough, in fact, what we promote and plant is a new variety of jatropha that has been carefully cultivated......

“......”

Listening to Wang Yuye's "average yield per mu is more than 600 kilograms", "the average oil yield is as high as 80%", "breaking through the suitable range", "feeding on cinders" and a series of explanations like listening to myths, the other party was silent.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that Wang Yuye had a character of saying one thing, he would definitely think that Wang Yuye was very sick.

But it was precisely because he understood Wang Yuye's personality that he was in a trance - is this guy serious?

The slightly rapid breathing sound showed that the other party's heart was extremely uncalm, and Wang Yuye raised the mobile phone far away.

Sure enough, a shout came: "Lao Wang, you wait, I will personally go over to investigate!"

Wang Yuye chuckled, "um", and reminded: "Then you have to hurry up, CNOOC, PetroChina, have also decided to come over to inspect the project." ”

"......" the other party gritted his teeth: "You guy, you are still so cunning!"
