Chapter 106: Arrived as promised
After Ma Tianming went out, Liu Zhongzhou looked at his watch, it was already half past four in the afternoon, he sighed, it is estimated that there will be no drama today.
But just as he was about to go out, a call from Vice Governor Zhou's secretary came: "Chairman Liu? Vice Governor Zhou has a little time in half an hour, you should come to his office as soon as possible, don't be late, otherwise it will not be good for Vice Governor Zhou's other arrangements." ”
Liu Zhongzhou agreed, did not dare to delay for a minute, and immediately went downstairs and got in the car to rush to the provincial government. From here to the provincial government, if there is no traffic jam, it will take a quarter of an hour, but if there is an accident, it is difficult to say.
The deputy governor's secretary is also, half an hour later, the arrangement is only now informed, fortunately I was prescient, and I have been waiting in the office for the past two days. Otherwise, let alone going to other places, even if it is a little far away from the city, it will definitely not be able to catch up within half an hour.
Let the vice governor wait for him in the office, how can Liu Zhongzhou have the guts.
Liu Zhongzhou, who was worried about being late, kept urging the driver to drive faster. Twenty minutes later, he finally arrived at the provincial government compound.
It took a few more minutes to get from the parking lot to the office building, and by the time he came to Vice Governor Zhou's office out of breath, it was already the appointed time.
As soon as the secretary, who had an unusually sharp eye, saw him, he asked, "You are Chairman Liu, right?"
Liu Zhongzhou nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
The secretary said, "Come with me." ”
He immediately led the way in front, took Liu Zhongzhou to the door of an office without any signs, knocked lightly on the door twice, and heard a sound of "please come in" from inside, then pushed the door open, stood at the door and said, "Vice Governor, Chairman Liu has arrived." ”
Vice Governor Zhou said, "Please let him in." ”
The secretary turned around and made a "please come in" gesture to Liu Zhongzhou, and then whispered: "The vice governor has other arrangements in twenty minutes, you should pay attention to the time." ”
Liu Zhongzhou nodded and said, "Okay." Then he walked into the office and said with a smile: "Hello, Vice Governor Zhou!"
Vice Governor Zhou beckoned to him and said, "Hello, please take a seat." ”
After Liu Zhongzhou sat down, Vice Governor Zhou asked: "I heard from the secretary, you called three days ago, and I haven't had time. ”
Liu Zhongzhou hurriedly introduced the original situation, and when Vice Governor Zhou heard it, he said, "That's the case." This bank is also a dead brain, can't the procedures for mine mortgage be handled later?"
Liu Zhongzhou said: "Who says it's not? I have repeatedly explained to them, but it just doesn't make sense. No, I really can't help it, so I thought of asking the leader to think of a way to coordinate it. ”
Vice Governor Zhou asked, "You said there are other people watching these two mines?"
Liu Zhongzhou said: "Yes, as far as I know, there are two potential competitors, one in and one outside the province. If the time drags on, I'm afraid it's a long night and a lot of dreams!"
Vice Governor Zhou said: "Fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields, and this must be supported." In this way, I will give President Yang of CCB a call to see if he can think of a way on his side. ”
He still knows a lot about the Southern Group, which has a good momentum of development and has always been a big profit and tax company. We have to help those enterprises whose development is not satisfactory, let alone the Southern Group.
Helped them solve the problem of raw material supply, and the company still has room for further expansion. Isn't it also their own work performance that they have developed well?
Seeing that Vice Governor Zhou was willing to help, Liu Zhongzhou happily nodded and thanked him: "That's great, thank you leader!"
Vice Governor Zhou picked up the phone on the table and immediately dialed Governor Yang's mobile phone: "Governor Yang? You see that there is such a thing, the Southern Group wants to take out a loan to acquire copper mines, but there is a bit of a jam in the steps of mortgage of mining rights and the bank's procedures.
Speaking of this, he paused and quietly listened to President Yang's explanation for a while, and then said: "Can you think of a way for your provincial branch, if the bank is worried about the safety of funds, it can intervene in the whole process of acquisition, and the loan will not go through the Southern Group, but will be directly transferred to the account of the company that sold the mine, and the documents and materials that need to be used for collateral in the mine will be directly handed over to your bank." Wouldn't it be a win-win situation for all three parties?"
Speaking of this, he listened to President Yang's opinion for a while and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean." The Southern Group is a key state-owned enterprise in the province, and it needs to be supported by banks when it needs it. When are you free, I will ask the chairman of the board of directors to come to you, and you can communicate in detail and have a look. Oh, you're free now?"
Speaking of this, Vice Governor Zhou inquired about Liu Zhongzhou with his eyes, Liu Zhongzhou was listening to Vice Governor Zhou's call with his ears pricked up, and when he saw this at this moment, he immediately understood and nodded vigorously.
Vice Governor Zhou saw it and said into the phone: "Then it's decided, I'll ask him to come to you now, well, okay." ”
After Vice Governor Zhou hung up the phone, he said to Liu Zhongzhou: "President Yang of the Provincial Branch of the CCB, you can go to his office to find him now, how is the discussion, and give me a reply when the time comes, okay?"
Liu Zhongzhou saw that the time for the conversation was almost over, and he was afraid of delaying Vice Governor Zhou's schedule, so he was in a hurry to go to the bank again, and after thanking him, he immediately said goodbye.
On the way to the bank, Liu Zhongzhou called Wu Yunyu and asked her to book a private room at the Jiangcheng Hotel, and asked her and Finance Minister Zheng Guorui to go there in advance to prepare for the reception. Not only is the food well cooked, but the atmosphere is also quite high-end.
Now I rushed to President Yang's office at this time, it was already time to get off work, and it seemed rude to talk in the office for too long. But if you put the place of negotiation at the table, the time can be extended until midnight.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the private room is much better than in the office, and it is easy to get closer to each other at the wine table, and it is more convenient to talk about things.
When Liu Zhongzhou arrived, President Yang was waiting for him in his office.
With the recommendation of Vice Governor Zhou, President Yang naturally did not dare to be careless.
Although there are some difficulties in the procedures for this loan, with his years of experience, even if Vice Governor Zhou did not explain how large the loan amount is, he also knows that the scale of funds involved in the acquisition of mining rights is never small.
In the past two years, the prices of various mineral resources have been rising, and such loans are generally high-quality loans as long as the appraisal information of the mine is complete, the property rights are clear, and the mortgage procedures are complete.
Not to mention the fact that there is also the endorsement of the deputy governor in charge of industry to a certain extent, and the benefits of doing this well are obvious. On the contrary, Vice Governor Zhou is not clear about how much interest he has in this matter, and if this matter is not handled well, a large number of people will be offended.
Anyway, the initiative is in your own hands, you might as well contact them carefully first, and after finding out the details, if you can do a good job, why not be a good person to the end.
If the risk is too big and it's not worth the risk, forget it, and have an explanation on Vice Governor Zhou's side.
As soon as he saw Liu Zhongzhou coming in, President Yang immediately got up to greet him: "Chairman Liu?" ”
Liu Zhongzhou held Governor Yang's hand and said, "Governor Yang, I'm really sorry, I have been delayed a lot of time along the way, and I have made you wait for a long time!"
Governor Yang waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way, Chairman Liu, you can introduce the specific situation, just now Vice Governor Zhou just said a rough word." ”
Liu Zhongzhou then gave a brief introduction to the overview of the Southern Group and the two mines to be acquired.
After listening to this, President Yang said: "The key issue now is the various procedures and assessment materials on the side of the mine, as long as these things are complete, there is much more room for maneuver in other matters." We need to understand this in detail before we can finally give an opinion. ”
As soon as Liu Zhongzhou heard that there was a door to this, a stone in his heart fell to the ground first. As long as the loan can be received as soon as possible, he doesn't care about what to do with the mortgage procedures. Anyway, in the end, those procedures of the mine have to be pressed by the bank, and it makes little difference whether they go through their own hands or not.
Liu Zhongzhou is an old man, and he knows that the words on the scene are just a few words, and everyone plays in an official tone on formal occasions, and what can really talk about the content has to be in private, such as on the wine table and in the dance hall.
In those places, after a few glasses of wine, everyone's nerves are relaxed, and each other no longer wears masks to behave, and it is easy to dig out their hearts. Whether the thing is successful or not, where it is stuck, and how to dredge it, he will tell you at that time.
So Liu Zhongzhou said against the guest: "Governor Yang, what should I do, how do we need to help, you just command." It's late now, let's not talk more in the office, I've already set a place, please be sure to enjoy the light, let's go over, what do you have to say while eating and talking, how about it?"
Ma Tianming knew that he had to take the initiative in this matter, and even if he risked being anti-customer-oriented, he had to show his sincerity. He said that he was the first, even if President Yang really had something to do, he would understand it, and he would not care about his anti-guest.
But if you don't show sincerity, it's hard to say what the other party will think of you and the Southern Bloc. In that case, you will lose a game in terms of etiquette.
Nowadays, the dinner party has always been a stage for singing all kinds of dramas, and the purpose of participating in the dinner is to communicate, there is a lot of wine, and there is a lot of talk, but there are fewer and fewer things to eat in the stomach.
The various dinners I go to participate in have always been aimed at connecting feelings and expanding the circle. This point will not be unclear to the high-ranking and powerful Governor Yang. If he intends to cooperate, he should not refuse himself, after all, this is also an opportunity for him to get to know each other
Liu Zhongzhou guessed correctly.
President Yang didn't want to go at first, but when he saw Liu Zhongzhou's insistent invitation, he agreed.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to find out the bottom of Liu Zhongzhou and the Southern Group, and what kind of relationship they had with Vice Governor Zhou.
