Volume VII Section 108 First Come, First Come, First Win
Sha Zhengyang was quietly playing with his negotiation skills.
This can be cleverly achieved through translation, of course, it is also possible to be recognized by the other party, it doesn't matter, it can be pushed to the translator, as long as the main problem is solved, everything else is easy to say.
Schumann roughly understood Sha Zhengyang's meaning through the translation, and nodded: " Sha, I basically agree with you, this project can indeed have a very positive effect on the people of the whole region, especially the whole region contains very rich resources, they can be developed by the people of the region, bring more surprises to the people of the world, but I also want to emphasize that this project is very large, if the World Bank wants to lend money, the use of this fund must go through strict supervision and audit, this is our basic requirement, how to achieve it, we need to guarantee. ”
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Schumann, I think we can give you a satisfactory answer to this question. "It's no secret that Americans' deep-seated discrimination against Chinese state-owned enterprises has been brought into the World Bank, and to reassure these stubborn Americans, we must give the most direct answers to their concerns," I think you may be aware of the premise that the Duyi Expressway may not be built and operated by a government-controlled state-owned enterprise, but may be dominated by a mix of private investment and foreign capital,......
"What?!" Schumann was visibly shocked by the translated words, and even stammered a little, "Impossible!"
Sha Zhengyang knew that he had hit the other party's vital point, and even Miyamoto and several others were surprised by this, and the interpreter kept explaining it.
"Nothing is impossible. Sha Zhengyang said lightly: "Although our government investment will also account for a considerable part, it is very likely that they will not occupy more than 50%, and the sum of domestic private capital and foreign capital may even exceed 50% of the capital." ”
The words of the translator shocked Schumann, Miyamoto Nagamori and others, and it was obvious that they were very surprised by the meaning of the term domestic private capital, which was specially explained by the translation.
In their view, it seems understandable that foreign or Hong Kong capital can enter this field, and it is a little inconceivable that domestic private capital can also enter this kind of basic industry, which Communist China clearly regards as important to the national economy and people's livelihood.
"Mr. Schumann, there is nothing that cannot be understood, our country's reform and opening up measures are increasing day by day, our country is not as conservative as you think, pledge is conducive to our country's economic development, is conducive to the improvement of people's living standards, our government can completely innovate in many policy areas, many things that were impossible in our country before 1978, are not now commonplace? Then with the further deepening of our country's reform and opening up, the world is embracing China, and China is also integrating into the world!"
"Very good!" Schumann couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Very well said, the world needs China, and China needs the world!"
"So Mr. Schumann can rest assured that if private capital and foreign capital occupy more than 50% of the investment quota of this project, you can imagine that in order to protect their own interests, they will definitely establish a complete set of financial systems and audit systems in accordance with market rules, and we also welcome the supervision and audit personnel of the World Bank to join in, and work with them and our government to supervise the entire project from investment to construction to operation...... Whichever side finds a problem in it can be dealt with according to the rules, and on this point, Mr. Schuman should be confident that our government cannot compromise our credibility with such a project,......"
Schumann nodded again and again, his somewhat reddened face showed a satisfied smile, and turned to say a few words to Miyamoto Nagamori, "In the big picture, I don't have any problems, Miyamoto, can you talk about your opinion,......"
I have to admit that this group of people is still quite strict in their work, even if Schumann is very satisfied, he still has to ask for the opinions of other members, and Miyamoto Nagamori did not give up his attitude because of Schumann's approval.
“…… , do you mean that in the future, the Duyi Expressway project may be composed of multiple capital shares, and the project capital may not become the absolute majority shareholder of the Hanchuan Provincial Government, that is, Hanchuan Expressway Co., Ltd., can I understand it this way?" Miyamoto Nagamori asked much more carefully than Schumann, even if this is not a specific negotiation, but this guy is a little persevering.
"That's what I mean, maybe even in the Duyi Expressway project and even more expressway projects, we may take a package approach to form a project company, Hanchuan Provincial Expressway Co., Ltd. will only appear as a funder, maybe in some project companies as a major shareholder, and in some projects it will not, and even it will accept other capital to take shares, and then go public listed companies, or even to Hong Kong, those project companies are ,......the same."
This is a bit big, but if you don't say that, you can't say it, anyway, your own words only illustrate a possibility, the project company may be listed, and the Provincial Expressway Co., Ltd. may be listed if it accepts other capital as shares, and everything is possible.
This is also Sha Zhengyang's point of view, who can do the best in their own investment environment faster and earlier, then it can seize the opportunity in the future development tide.
At this point, he and Cheng Song reached an agreement on the big measures to break the bottleneck in Hanchuan Province's transportation, and reached a consensus with Mao Xiangdong on Handu to seize the opportunity in the construction of information networks and take the lead in building commercial ADSL broadband in the country.
Miyamoto Nagamori was a little confused by Sha Zhengyang's series of words.
There is so much information here that Duyi Expressway may be a separate project company, or it may be packaged with other projects to form a company, and even Hanchuan Provincial Expressway Co., Ltd. may become a public listed company by attracting other capital to enter, and then achieve regulation through the capital market.
In particular, Sha Zhengyang's suggestion that this kind of project company in Hanchuan Province and its parent company, Provincial Expressway Co., Ltd., are willing to enter the capital market, realize the standardization and openness of their own operations, and accept the supervision of the capital market, is even more shocking.
The translator also felt that the amount of translation of this paragraph was a bit large, and after asking Sha Zhengyang a few more questions, he began to slowly and meticulously explain the rich meaning of Sha Zhengyang's words to Schumann, Miyamoto Nagamori and others.
It should be said that Sha Zhengyang's somewhat advanced view has indeed brought a great shock to the World Bank.
As members of the World Bank's visit to China, they still have a good understanding of China's domestic economic structure, such as Miyamoto Nagamori has been to China many times, such as Hanchuan is not the first time to visit, but more in the coastal provinces and cities, they did not expect that an inland province would get such an impactful planning idea, which greatly exceeded their imagination.
Sha Zhengyang's point of view is very simple, Hanchuan Province is an inland province, and under the condition of a majority of mountainous areas, the transportation environment itself lags behind other provinces and cities, not to mention the development of leading coastal provinces, coupled with its own financial resources is an indisputable reality, so how to achieve advanced development?
Judging from the current situation, the traffic volume of Hanjia Expressway has grown rapidly, and it is expected that it will soon be profitable, and the Hanwan Expressway under construction will not be too long to achieve profitability after completion, especially after the completion of Zhongwan Expressway and the future Luwan Expressway, Handu can directly reach the hinterland of the Central Plains and the Yangtze River Delta region through Wanzhou, Zhongzhou and Hefei, and the traffic flow of Hanwan Expressway will increase significantly.
These situations can also be seen and analyzed in the capital market, so if the Hanjia Expressway and Hanwan Expressway, as well as the Hanzhaofu Expressway and Hanwu, Hanqin, and Duyi Expressway, which are also expected to be profitable, can be packaged and mixed, pushed into the capital market, and attract private capital and foreign capital and Hong Kong capital to enter, it will be able to greatly alleviate the financial pressure of the Hanchuan Provincial Government in the construction of the expressway.
Perhaps some people will stare at Hanjia Expressway and Hanwan Expressway and Hanzhaofu Expressway these profitable points to speak, that the future of these highways can provide stable income for the Hanchuan Provincial Finance, the problem is that the Hanchuan Provincial Government is not an enterprise, it is a first-level government, it needs to provide a better development environment for the economic development of the province, a few years later and now free up funds to build a better environment, which is more important, Sha Zhengyang believes that there is nothing worth hesitating.
Even if it can provide Hanchuan Province with an investment environment that is better than that of neighboring provinces three to five years in advance, and can attract more foreign capital, enterprises and projects to land in Hanchuan, its economic significance is far greater than this economic benefit, and this is not counting the political significance and influence brought by this open pattern.
Cheng Song saw this issue very clearly, and when Sha Zhengyang raised it, he gave it strong support with a clear banner, but of course he did not get an immediate response after reporting to the main leaders.
This is understandable, after all, there are other political factors to consider.
But Cheng Song and Sha Zhengyang both firmly believe that Zhou Yuanwang and Wang Yunxiang are not the kind of people with shallow vision, and they should be able to see the huge opportunities contained in this proposal, and taking the lead in this move can have an unimaginable demonstration effect in all aspects.
