After Xiao Li's college entrance examination was over, he took Kou Xuan to go to Xucheng with Chen Dan, and the lively house returned to quiet after a few days. Xiaoli's college entrance examination results came out, and there was a gap between him and Huai University of Technology, so he finally chose to enter Huai Medical University to study for a bachelor's and master's degree.

Shen Huai ran around all day long, and he didn't feel anything during the day, and only in the dead of night did he feel that he was alone in the huge mansion, and it was too quiet. At this time, he couldn't meet Zhou Yu or Xiong Dani, and even the gold was brought to Xucheng for Chen Dan.

By August, not only had the Xinpu Iron and Steel Plant officially obtained the approval of the State Development Planning Commission to carry out construction, but the construction of major projects such as the electric furnace steel project with a joint investment scale of 1.5 billion yuan by the Provincial Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Fuji Steel, the Changqing Group, the Yanjiang Expressway with an investment of 200 million yuan by the Meixi Development Group, and the Meipu Highway with an investment of 400 million yuan by the Beijing Investment Group were officially started one after another.

The matter of Hengyang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry has also been successfully resolved.

Fengli Trading in Pingjiang City, and Huaineng Group finally accepted two 5,000-ton coal carriers from Hengyang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. at the original price and put them into the Zhujiang River channel between Zhuxi, Donghua and Pingjiang to engage in coal transportation business.

In addition, the shipping company also settled the four million final payments owed to Hengyang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry for many years.

On August 28, the second coal carrier of Hengyang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. was officially delivered to Huaineng Group.

On this day, Zeng Zhirong, the CEO of Hengyang Shipping, personally led the team to prepare a banquet at Pengyue International Hotel to thank all parties. When it was dusk, Xu Jian rushed to the county government first, planning to meet with Shen Huai, Zhao Tianming and others before going to Meixi for a banquet.

Seeing Xu Jian coming, Shen Huai threw the work at hand together and called Song Xiaojun and Wang Weicheng to go downstairs together.

After Wang Weicheng drove the car from the parking lot, Shen Huai called Xu Jian: "Xu Jian, you go to Secretary Tao's office to have a look, and ask him if he has time to go to Meixi for a drink at night......

Xu Jian glanced at Zhao Tianming, and seeing that Zhao Tianming didn't say anything, he hesitated for a while before entering the building to call Tao Jixing.

After waiting downstairs for a while, I saw Tao Jixing and Xu Jian coming downstairs together.

Tao Jixing went downstairs, Shen Huai noticed that Zhao Tianming was in a complicated mood, and he didn't want everyone to stand in front of the government building in embarrassment, pulling Tao Jixing to take his car, Xu Jian to sit in Zhao Tianming's car, and the two cars drove out of the county government compound before and after.

"I thought Secretary Tao would be very busy, so I didn't have time to join us in the fun and drink today......" Shen Huai said with a smile.

Tao Jixing looked at Zhao Tianming's car following behind him through the rearview mirror, shook his head and smiled, and said: "I am a person who is about to retire, what kind of anger do I have? With so many leading cadres in the county, Zhao Tianming can be regarded as a young and promising person, and it would be a pity if you didn't use him in Xiapu. Besides, I'd rather be a pulsatilla than a poor young man, and you will be a slippery head for me, and I don't want to do anything that offends people anymore......"

"Then how can you say that? This is Secretary Tao, you are generous, and you don't care about old things. Shen Huai said.

"It's an old thing, and we laugh and enmity when we meet. When Zhao Tianming was promoted to deputy county magistrate, he was only thirty-seven years old, and his future was limitless, and he was worried that he would be knocked down with a stick with an old fellow, and he could understand it, but other than that, he didn't do anything excessive. Tao Jixing sighed softly.

Shen Huai also felt in his heart, knowing that people like Tao Jixing had been fighting in the officialdom for half a lifetime, and any subtle grievances and disobedience would be magnified, and it was not easy to make up his mind to let go of this grievance now.

But Tao Jixing is pragmatic.

Tao Jixing will reach retirement age in a year or two, and it is impossible to be promoted again.

If it weren't for the fact that all parties now need him to stay in Xiapu to stabilize the situation, as usual, it would be normal for him to take a back seat.

Zhao Tianming is only in his early forties, although he has a gap with Tao Jixing, but he has not had a holiday with the core figures of Meigang's department. Zhao Tianming's own ability is still excellent, even if he suppresses him, he can only let him take turns in the position of deputy county department.

Instead of remembering a lifelong grudge, it is better to take the initiative to resolve this grievance and win the reputation of big belly.

Shen Huai smiled and said to Song Xiaojun: "Old Song, you are responsible for taking Deputy County Magistrate Zhao down today; ”

"County Magistrate Zhao has such a large amount of alcohol, and I am afraid that I will not be able to attack his position with my firepower. Song Xiaojun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and said with a smile.

"Then you have a few more people, I have a blood pressure problem, otherwise I don't need you little devils to come out." Tao Jixing said that since he is determined to let go of his grievances, he will no longer be unable to let go of his mother-in-law.

Song Xiaojun laughed and said, "With Secretary Tao's words, I should let it out today." ”

Shut down

After a banquet of wine, Zhao Tianming was naturally drunk, Tao Jixing also made an exception to drink top-heavy, and asked someone to help him, and Zhou Zhibai specially arranged a car to send them home.

Shen Huai called out to Xu Jian and said to him: "Xinpu Shipping Group is about to be established, and you have to make a choice in the next few days." At present, China does not support senior managers of state-owned enterprises to receive high salaries and direct shareholdings, so if you represent the SP Development Group in the shipping group, the salary will be higher, but not much. In the future, when you see other senior executives of the new shipping group getting high salaries, don't be unbalanced. Either you simply submit a resignation report, give up the development in the party and government system, and concentrate on the management of the new shipping group. The county supports you in doing the same. Of course, you want to do both, and if something goes wrong in the future, don't blame no one to protect you......"

Regarding the integration of shipping resources into Xinpu Shipping Group, starting from mid-to-late July, it has also been led by Huaineng and Pengyue.

Including the county shipping company, the shipping resources of Huineng, Meigang and Pengyue add up, with a total load scale of nearly 70,000 tons, which is a large-scale shipping enterprise in the region, but it is not enough to mention it in the whole country and even the world.

Of course, if it is decentralized, it will be more difficult to develop any scale.

The biggest benefit of integration lies in the rational use of human resources.

The economic situation in the first half of '96 was good, Meigang and other enterprises have maintained good operations, and Meigang alone has grabbed a net profit of 300 million yuan so far this year to the end of July, and the profit is expected to exceed 500 million yuan for the whole year.

The construction of Xinpu Steel Mill mainly relies on foreign investment and bank loans, and investment companies such as Meigang, Huaineng, Zhujiang, Hongji, and Zhongxin can also draw out an additional 200 million yuan to inject into the new shipping group.

In Donghua, 200 million yuan is a very large number, but in terms of the ocean shipping that Shen Huai will be interested in in the future, this figure is too small to buy two large ships, and the chartered ships cannot even lease 200,000 deadweight tons.

At present, the new shipping company can only consider leasing ships from the international bareboat market to engage in the transportation of coal, iron, scrap and containers.

All shipping resources are converted into Xinpu Shipping Group with net assets, so that the establishment of a new shipping group will reach 400 million net assets.

After the conversion of the prefectural shipping company, 10% of the shares were held by the Sinpo Development Group on behalf of the county government, and the relationship with the port authority was severed.

Huaineng and Meigang will convert nearly 140 million funds and existing shipping resources into 51% (20%+31%) of the new shipping group, and Zhujiang Investment, Hongji Investment and Zhongxin Investment hold the remaining 29% of the shares.

Yang Haipeng and other personal investments, mainly integrated into Zhujiang Investment, no longer hold shares in the new shipping group; Pengyue Group has been carrying out shipping business for two years, shipping resources have a certain scale, after the integration, in addition to through Meigang, Zhujiang Investment to the new shipping group indirect shares, but also separately hold an additional 10% of the shares, in addition, business credit bank, Bank of China, China Development Bank and other financial institutions, a total of 300 million credit lines to the new shipping group, for the new shipping group to develop ocean shipping business.

Considering that the new shipping group will focus on the development of offshore and ocean shipping business in the future, the headquarters is located in Sinpo.

In terms of comprehensive capabilities, Zhou Zhibai can undertake the important task of the future development of the new shipping group, and will be mainly responsible for the operation of the new shipping group.

Pengyue's business based on scrap steel trading has a ceiling for future development, and it is difficult to have a large-scale increase in a short period of time. The development potential of the new shipping group is great, and Zhou Zhibai is also willing to transfer his main energy from Pengyue to the new shipping group. Xu Jian, together with Wang Jianmin, who was in charge of shipping affairs of the former Pengyue Group, will go to the new shipping group to serve as Zhou Zhibai's deputy.

Xu Jian did not participate in the rise of Meigang and the project preparation of Xinpu Steel Mill, just a bystander, and the integration of shipping resources, he participated in it, in order to more truly realize the strength of Meigang.

Prior to this, Donghua shipping enterprises, led by Donghua Port Transportation Group, had assets of about 400 million yuan, and had comprehensive businesses such as steam ferry, passenger and cargo ship transportation.

It was difficult for Xu Jian to imagine that there would be any shipping company in Donghua that could surpass the port transportation group in a short period of time.

In front of us, as long as the plan is followed, Xinpu Shipping Group can use up the credit lines of Yexin Bank and Bank of China by the end of the year, and the asset scale of Xinpu Shipping Group, which will focus on freight transportation, will also be twice that of Port Transportation Group.

Relying on the construction of Meixi Port and Xinpu Port, and relying on the transportation business needs of coal, scrap steel, mineral sands and other raw materials and products of Meigang and Huaineng's subordinate power plants, the development prospects of Xinpu Shipping Group in the next three to five years are far more optimistic than that of Port Transportation Group.

Xu Jian, who will be the vice premier in charge of Zhujiang transportation at the new shipping group, has two options:

The first is to enter the new shipping group as a representative of Xiapu County, retain the organizational relationship, and the level can even be transferred to the main department level, but the salary and benefits are paid by the Xinpu Development Group, which is separate from the Xinpu Shipping Group, and can also be transferred back to the party and government system in the future;

Shen Huai is the same for all important figures in the Meigang system, including Zhao Dong, Zhao Zhimin, Luo Qing and others have resigned from public office, and accepted the employment of various enterprises in the Meigang system purely as senior management, of course, in addition to relatively high salary income, they can also participate in the management of shareholding.

However, his position in the party and government system is no longer retained, and even people's congress deputies are restricted from being appointed.

On the other hand, Hu Shuwei, Zhao Yicheng and others are purely representatives of the management of state-owned enterprises, and their status is very high, but their salaries are much lower, not to mention participating in shareholdings.

Ninety-six years, this is really a difficult choice for Xu Jian to make a decision.
