Volume VII Section 101 The Crab Eater
"Lao Wei was born in the Planning Commission, but he has also worked in the Planning Commission system for a long time, and I think his mindset is still somewhat solidified in the previous planned economy model, and he has not really jumped out of that era. Zhou Yuanwang sat peacefully on the sofa and shook his head with a smile, and put a piece of information in his hand on the coffee table.
"Now is different from the past, to dare to break the stereotype, to dare to break through the status quo, I think Cheng Song mentioned to attract private capital to join the infrastructure construction project is a good idea, and can be more bold, not necessarily limited to road traffic facilities, like other infrastructure can also be considered, such as power plants, such as banks, such as airports, ,......."
Wang Yunxiang was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhou Yuanwang to be more open-minded, and he actually considered allowing private capital to enter banks and airports, which he didn't even expect.
Zhou Yuanwang saw Wang Yunxiang's face shocked, and he also knew that his point of view might be a little advanced, but he had thought about this problem, and he had been thinking about it for the past two years.
Hanchuan is very different from the coastal areas, whether it is the concept of views or work style, as for the investment environment and capital stock, these gaps are even greater, and this is not a day or two can catch up, so what should Hanchuan do?
If you follow the development model of the coastal area step by step according to the established strategy, then Hanchuan can only be a follower forever, and with the absorption effect of the industrial economy, this gap will become bigger and bigger, so he has been thinking about how to break the conventional development model, achieve a corner overtaking, and achieve leapfrogging and transcendence with extraordinary courage and way.
According to the usual practice, his term of office may be two or three years away, and he feels that his partner is also a clear-minded, sharp-minded, daring character, and his cooperation with the other party is quite tacit, so dare to be bold and act more vigorously in the past few years, even if it is to take some so-called "political risks"?
After careful consideration, Zhou Yuanwang felt that it was worth it.
If he really resigns in two or three years and is replaced by Wang Yunxiang, then Zhou Yuanwang believes that Wang Yunxiang can also continue to increase his efforts on this basis, so that Hanchuan can get rid of the dilemma of always being in the middle and lower reaches.
Zhou Yuanwang's idea was inspired by Changhe Group's strategy and the strategy of retail layout along the Yangtze River.
It should be said that Changhe Group's strategy of going out and the strategy of retail layout along the Yangtze River have greatly touched Zhou Yuanwang.
At the beginning, he also considered how big the political and operational risks would be if he crossed the two giants of PetroChina and Sinopec and Changhe Petroleum took the lead in going out, so he also tossed and turned on this issue, but in the end he decided that the provincial party committee and the provincial government should bear this risk.
Reform itself involves taking risks, and if everything is done in a proper manner, there is no hope for Hanchuan.
After listening to the report several times, Zhou Yuanwang believed that the combination of You Wangang, Zhong Guangbiao and Sha Zhengyang could be trusted, and the results did not live up to his expectations.
Changhe Group has achieved unprecedented results in the strategy of going to sea, PetroChina is now seeking to catch up, and the retail layout strategy along the Yangtze River is to make PetroChina and Sinopec like a big enemy, CNOOC is drooling with envy.
When he went to Yanjing for a meeting, You Wan, who had already served as the CEO of Sinopec, could feel it with many emotions when he first came to visit.
In fact, reform and opening up is a comparison of whether you dare to make breakthroughs in some new models, how to liberate the productive forces to the greatest extent, and let the development of the productive forces serve the local economy, which is the core proposition.
Zhou Yuanwang is very clear about the background of a series of policy spirits since the 15th National Congress of the Central Committee, and it has become a trend for many regional countries to retreat from the people, so how to take the lead in this trend and seize the opportunity for Hanchuan is a question of whether a decision-maker has the political insight and political courage.
Zhou Yuanwang thinks he has it.
In Zhou Yuanwang's view, it is equally feasible to attract Hong Kong and foreign capital to enter the infrastructure sector in Hanchuan.
Compared with the special economic zone in southern Guangdong, Hanchuan Province may still need to pass the approval of the central government in terms of policy, and perhaps the approval process is stricter, but Zhou Yuanwang feels that the policy is tight, strict, and not prohibited, so Hanchuan Province can strive for it or even break through.
Hong Kong and foreign capital can come in, but what about domestic capital, especially domestic private capital?
Zhou Yuanwang thinks that it is also possible, of course, it may also face a strict review and approval process, but it is still the same sentence, it is worth spending time to overcome these problems, and Hanchuan is also willing to be a crab eater in the inland area.
"Secretary Zhou, your point of view is a bit radical. Wang Yunxiang laughed, "At least in the inland area, I'm afraid it's the first time." ”
"No, Sichuan has actually gone to the front, and the Chengmian Expressway is about to open to traffic, and this road is a joint venture between Sichuan and Hong Kong. Zhou Yuanwang pondered slightly, "Of course, the use of private capital to accelerate infrastructure construction is indeed relatively rare in our inland areas, and it is estimated that it will cause great controversy at this point." ”
"I don't think it's a big deal, why can't we be one step ahead in the hinterland? Our hinterland is inherently supposed to be one step slower, and it should be lagging behind? The law can be implemented without prohibition, I agree with your point of view, boldly try, forge a breakthrough, what risks, what responsibilities, we two shoulder!" Wang Yunxiang said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, Yunxiang, it seems that we have thought of a road. Zhou Yuanwang also smiled and said: "Sha Zhengyang, a young man with a very flexible mind, a wide range of thinking angles, is a good seedling, put it in the Development and Planning Commission I think it is right, although some of his views seem controversial, but I think the direction of the controversy is those vague marginal issues, the core is whether to dare to innovate and break through, dare not take the first step, and many of our leading cadres are still confined to the old framework, always feel that there is no policy above, and the coastal areas have not dared to do it, how dare we try?" This kind of mentality inherently puts oneself in the position of the backward and the weak, so how can we compete for the first?"
Wang Yunxiang also seemed to have thought of something, and his face became serious, " Secretary Zhou, the central government's policy spirit of rectifying the rural cooperative foundation has been clear, and all localities are currently in full swing, but according to the situation reported by various places in the early stage, the situation is very grim, especially in some areas where the situation is very serious, and some township enterprises are more developed in the area, especially prominent, and many of the alloy associations' capital flows are township enterprises, but most of these township enterprises are now insolvent, or even empty shells, and it is extremely difficult to recover funds, or it is impossible at all, I estimate that from the end of this year to next year and even the year after, some areas may have to live a tight and hard life financially。 ”
"yes, that's something I've been thinking about. Zhou Yuanwang couldn't help but rub his temples when he heard this topic.
This is also a difficult problem that plagues all parts of Hanchuan, the rectification of the Rural Cooperative Foundation is coming, this is a rigid policy of the central government, there is no price to talk about, and it must be resolutely closed.
In fact, the vast majority of the operating conditions of these rural cooperative foundations are not optimistic, there is no professional management personnel, lack of regulatory mechanism, risk control is not to mention, many township and rural alloy associations have been reduced to small treasury cash machines of township party committees and governments, and the proportion of bad debts is quite large.
If this continues, I am afraid that the problem will be more serious, so the central government will decisively introduce policies to resolutely squeeze out this pus.
"Li Ming and Cheng Song also came to tell me, there may be some cities and districts and counties will encounter a lot of pressure, although according to the requirements of the document, most of the alloy will be merged into the credit cooperatives, but to merge into the credit cooperatives there is also a red line requirement, insufficient funds need to be made up by the district and county finance, which is almost unbearable for many districts and counties, only to borrow money from the municipal finance, so some mayors and commissioners have come to report, hoping that the provincial finance will support them to help them tide over the difficulties. ”
This is not a small amount, and the cities involved will definitely not be less, Zhou Yuanwang and Wang Yunxiang both realized that this was another hurdle, but no matter how difficult it was, they had to pass.
"So we can only see more unswerving reform and opening up, and the intensity will be greater. Zhou Yuanwang couldn't help but patted the armrest of the sofa, "Yunxiang, the provincial government is still studying how to further attract foreign capital and use private capital to speed up the infrastructure construction of our province, including entering the financial field, Minsheng Bank is a model, I think the central government is also very supportive, and the development is also very fast, so can we Hanchuan also take the lead in this regard and be a crab eater?"
"Well, Secretary Zhou, we all have a consensus on this point. Wang Yunxiang nodded, "I will arrange for someone to conduct research immediately, come up with a feasible operation plan, Duyi Expressway is an attempt, Lao Wei's view is relatively conservative, I think it is better to let the Development and Planning Commission and the Department of Communications draw people to make an attempt, multi-pronged, if there can be foreign and private capital willing to enter, if the World Bank and the Bank of Japan can get a loan, then why can't we be crab eaters?"
"Well, such a project that requires a huge amount of funds also needs to catch up with the central government's policy of promoting infrastructure construction in order to be quickly promoted, otherwise I don't know if it can be launched until the Year of the Monkey, and the China Development Bank will probably have to run for it, and it will be as much as it can get. Zhou Yuanwang added, "Cheng Song will take the lead in this project, but we both have to go into battle in person." ”
