Since June, Shen Huai has spent most of his time outside for project approvals, and has not spent much time in Xiapu, and has also been absent from the coordination meetings of Xinpu many times.

Shen Huai looked at the time when the coordination meeting was coming, so he left the shipping company with Wang Weicheng and Du Jian and drove to Xinpu Town.

The development zone has just entered the construction period, and the conditions are very poor, and the brand of the party working committee and the management committee of the development zone is hung together with the party committee and the town government of Xinpu Town.

In addition, Shen Huai also demolished the west wall of the original town government compound and built a row of two-story small buildings in the alley, which temporarily served as office space for the constituent departments of the management committee and the government affairs approval center. In addition to Dai Quan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Xinpu Town, and Song Xiaojun, Deputy Director of the County Government Office and Director of the County Investment Promotion Bureau, who are also members of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee, the other three members and deputy directors and the heads of the constituent departments of each group have also been selected one after another.

It can be regarded as a hurry, and the teams of the two committees of the development zone were set up first.

This is also the first time that Shen Huai has had time to participate in the coordination meeting since June, and the main leaders of the construction unit, various departments of the development zone and Xinpu Town, regardless of whether they have anything to do or not, all came to participate in the coordination meeting.

Shen Huai rushed over, but did not find a parking space in the yard, so he could only temporarily park the car at the mouth of the alley outside.

The coordination meeting is held regularly on Friday, and if there is something to coordinate, the meeting can be briefed to the management committee if there is no incident.

Shen Huai walked in, looked at the room full of people sitting, and asked with a smile: "There aren't so many things to do today, why are they all here?"

"It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, everyone misses you. Yang Haipeng nestled in the corner and joked.

"Why are you sitting so far away?" Shen Huai asked strangely when he saw Yang Haipeng, Zhao Dong, and Chu Yiliang nesting in the corner.

"We all called Mr. Sun and Mr. Qian to come over, and your half is a non-smoking area. Yang Haipeng said pitifully.

Shen Huai saw that it was true, no one was smoking here, but everyone on Yang Haipeng's side was holding cigarettes in their hands. Wang Weicheng was not addicted to smoking, and Shen Huai saw that there was still time to leave, so he and Du Jian went to Yang Haipeng's side and took the cigarette.

Shen Huai pulled Hu Shuwei and Zhou Zhibai over and talked about what happened to the shipping company in the afternoon.

Zhou Zhibai responded: "Okay, I'll call Lao Wang, who is in charge of shipping, and ask him to come over and contact Hengyang Ship first......

"If you're not so busy, I still hope you come forward," Shen Huai said, "Wait a while, you, as well as Lao Hu and Haipeng, come with me to Beishan for a while......"

"Ah," Zhou Zhibai asked in surprise, "The Hengyang ship is not so simple?"

At present, Pengyue currently integrates its industrial investment in Meigang, Meixi Port and other projects into Zhujiang Investment, but it also supports the development of scrap trading, hotels and other main businesses.

At this time, Pengyue's current monthly scrap trade volume reached 50,000 tons, and two years earlier, a logistics department dominated by shipping and road transportation companies was established. After two years of cultivation, it has also entered a period of expansion.

The Lao Wang mentioned by Zhou Zhibai is Wang Jianmin, the deputy general manager in charge of logistics in Pengyue.

Now it is Hengyang Ship that is in a hurry to sell the ship, Zhou Zhibai asked Wang Jianmin to come forward to contact Hengyang Ship first, and it cannot be said that he does not pay attention to it, but Shen Huai wants Pengyue to pay more attention to this matter.

"Yangcheng undertakes Hong Kong, and the offshore equipment manufacturing industry based on shipbuilding is much more perfect and well-developed than Donghua," Shen Huai said to Zhou Zhibai, "At present, Yangcheng's shipbuilding industry accounts for about 15% of the country, whether it is the marine steel structure of Huailian Heavy Industry, or the marine steel plate produced after the completion of the first phase here, Yangcheng is the key market we want to develop." Although Hengyang Ship is not a large scale among so many shipbuilding enterprises in Yangcheng, Xiapu has to pay attention to it if it wants to recover its influence. There is another one, that is, although Donghua has favorable conditions for the development of offshore equipment manufacturing industry, but the foundation is really a little weak, to pull some manufacturers to invest in the construction of factories, foreign capital is on the one hand, in the country, you can also play the idea of Yangcheng side......"

"I'll just say that Secretary Shen is wilted, where is there a big situation in this world for no reason?" Yang Haipeng leaned over and said, "So, it's a loss, and we also have to scrape together money to buy these two ships?"

Yang Haipeng's Penghai trade, the scale is also growing, there is currently a medium-sized road logistics company, the shipping business is mainly entrusted to other shipping companies, but if the price is right, he will not mind scraping together more than 10 million to buy a ship for self-operation.

"It's a big ghost for you, if Mei Gang can't spare his hand, will he hand over the transportation business to you?" Shen Huai said, "However, each of you has your own road logistics, and I don't have any opinion on this, but when it comes to shipping, I don't support the development of your own stall." After all, in the future, a large ore ship will cost hundreds of millions or billions, how many can your family have?"

Road transportation, one is the business is dispersed, the other is to the regional short-distance transportation, each has the ability to form a large fleet of vehicles, does not need to integrate, decentralized operation is more flexible.

However, in the future of ocean transportation, a ore ship with a load of tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 tons will cost hundreds of millions, billions, or even billions of yuan, which is not something that one company can afford. Moreover, in this field, they are facing both domestic large groups and international giants, and if they are still in their own positions, they can only make small fights, and there is no possibility of participating in international competition in the future.

Xiapu County Shipping Company is mainly engaged in inland waterway transportation and steam ferry business, with a total load of only more than 10,000 tons, and its strength is extremely weak.

"If you want to integrate, will Huaineng's shipping also be involved?" asked Yang Haipeng.

"You want to take advantage of it when you see it, it's really not relaxed at all," Shen Huai smiled, "If Huaineng and Meigang want to participate in the integration, you have to let Huaineng and Meigang ...... holdings."

Yang Haipeng smiled and looked at Zhou Zhibai.

Now if it is said that it is going to be integrated, the shipping business under Pengyue has some scale, scale and quality, which are better than the shipping companies in Xiapu County.

Shut down

Zhou Zhibai smiled and said, "Okay, this is worth studying carefully......

Pengyue's annual scrap shipping volume is as high as 5.6 million tons, but the sources of scrap are relatively scattered, and the advantage of centralized transportation is not great.

However, for Huaineng, after the completion of the second phase of the Meixi Power Plant, the Xinpu Power Plant, and the transfer of the Tianshenggang Power Plant, Huaineng's coal consumption in Donghua alone will be as high as 2.5 million tons per year.

The coal transfer terminal invested and built by Huaineng in the Jihe River will have an annual throughput of up to 4 million tons after the completion of the first phase of the project, which also needs to have corresponding shipping capacity to match.

After the construction of the first phase of the Xinpu Steel Plant, the annual transportation volume of ore and coking coal is as high as 7 or 8 million tons.

At present, although it is agreed that after the completion of the first phase of the Xinpu Steel Mill, the mining and shipping departments of Xiyou Mingqi Industrial Group will be responsible for supplying the 5 million tons of ore needed every year, but according to Shen Huai's temper, he will definitely not put the egg flag in one basket.

It is a matter of course to wait for Meigang to free up his hands in the future and form his own shipping and mining department.

At present, the integration of resources together, the formation of the shipping department, is just the next step of the first move, and to develop is a deadweight tonnage of three or four million tons, business potential of more than 10 million tons of large shipping group, is Pengyue's shipping department dozens of times the huge.

Not to mention domestic, that is, global, how many shipping groups with an annual transportation volume of more than 10 million tons?

Don't say anything else, even considering the future development potential, Pengyue has no possibility of refusing.

Of course, because the basic transportation volume that Huaineng and Meigang can provide in the future is so huge, the newly formed shipping group naturally has to be controlled, which is in line with the principle of benefit distribution.

At the beginning of the coordination meeting, Shen Huai first informed everyone of the progress of the project approval when he was running around in mid-to-early June.

In May and June, Shen Huai personally led a team to Beijing twice, and he was not a few steps away from finally obtaining the approval documents for the construction of the Xinpu Steel Mill and the Xinpu Port from the State Development Planning Commission and the Ministry of Communications.

In '96, the state did not have strict regulations on the environmental examination and approval of new projects, which made the examination and approval of projects relatively simple, and the State Development Planning Commission's supervision and control over new projects before they were relatively relaxed.

Although the final approval of Xinpu Steel Plant and Xinpu Port has not yet come down, it will not hinder the construction of the preliminary project and supporting projects. As early as mid to early May, the residential area, the new wharf, the water plant, the distribution station, the renovation of the Zhaopu ironworks, the Yexin Building and other supporting projects on the Xinpu side have started one after another.

The British Flying Flag Industrial Group has also formally signed a joint venture agreement, and will inject 20 million US dollars into Xinpu Iron and Steel Group in the first phase. By this time, including the equipment and technical assets of the Liverpool Steel Plant of West Youmins Industrial Group, the net foreign investment of Xinpu Steel Plant has exceeded 200 million US dollars.

At this time, led by the fourth and sixth metallurgical construction companies, a number of construction companies have entered the site one after another, which will fully open the prelude to the construction of Xinpu Steel Plant.

At the same time, in mid-June, the Xiapu County Government and Donghua BIIC also formally signed an agreement to build the Meipu Highway directly connected to the Xinpu Development Zone from the northern extension of the Meihe Highway in Meixi Town.

Meipu Highway is renovated on the basis of Shangmei Highway, in the future as the main road connecting the North Ring Road of Xiapu County and Xudong Expressway, designed and constructed according to first-class standards, in addition to communicating the north of the city, the north of Meixi New District, Xinpu Development Zone, the middle will also connect Donghua Airport, Xiapu Chengguan Town South Development and other places, in addition to the whole 40 kilometers of road surface, two new large bridges will be built in the middle, the estimated cost of 400 million, is also one of the largest investment projects in Donghua City.

In addition to the right to operate the Meipu Highway for the next 10 years, Xiapu County will also allocate 400 mu of land for residential, office, and commercial purposes in Xinpu New Town, as well as the county government's 5 percent stake in the Xinpu Power Plant and 30 percent of the Xinpu Development Group's equity interest.

In order to build the Meipu Highway, the price paid by Xiapu County is not insignificant, especially since the Sinpo Development Group owns the development rights and interests of all the industrial land in the Xinpu Development Zone, and the 30% equity is huge, which is of great value in the future.

However, as far as the Xiapu County Government is concerned, it is not possible to talk about a loss or no loss, after all, it is impossible for the Xiapu County Government to spend 400 million yuan to build the main road connecting with the city.

In addition, as a wholly municipal state-owned enterprise, the county pays more and sets aside more assets in the past, which is not a loss of state-owned assets, but it can be beneficial for Beijing Investment to raise funds in Yanjing and other places.

It can also be said that this is some compensation made by Xiapu County after the city delegated power to Xiapu County on a large scale and greatly reduced the financial handover.

At the same time, in early June, Xiapu County also signed a development agreement with Zhujiang Construction for the development of Xinpu New Town, which is located in the eastern area of the new city.

The county government allocated nearly 1,500 acres of residential and commercial land east of the construction address of Yexin Building to the construction address of Xinpu Steel Plant Water Supply Company, and allocated all of them to Zhujiang Construction for the development of residential, commercial, office and other buildings for the development and construction of Xinpu New Town, in exchange for the construction of a total of 4,000 resettlement communities for the Xinpu Development Zone in four phases.

Prior to this, the largest resettlement housing project in Donghua City, and also the largest residential project, has been in preparation for a long time, and after the formal signing of the agreement, the 16 buildings of the first phase of the Xinyuan community have entered full construction.

In order to cooperate with the construction of the Xinpu Steel Mill, nearly 400 villagers in the Xinpu Development Zone have been relocated within two months and temporarily lived in simple resettlement houses.

In the first phase of the comprehensive construction, Shen Huai urged Zhu Li to start the construction of the second phase of 16 buildings -- his plan was to require Zhujiang Construction to complete the construction of 4,000 resettlement houses in the fourth phase of the Xinyuan community, as well as supporting projects such as farmers' markets, primary schools, kindergartens, and community commercial streets, within one year.

In addition to pulling the main construction team into Xinpu, Zhujiang Construction has not received other advanced projects in the past six months. For the development of Xinpu, Zhujiang Construction has raised nearly 100 million yuan by itself, and has also borrowed nearly 100 million yuan from financial institutions such as Yexin and CCB, so as to build Xinpu New Town, including resettlement communities, to the east of the construction site of Yexin Building as soon as possible, which is also the eastern area of Xinpu New Town in the planning.

At the same time, Xiapu's county-level expansion and financial contracting have also been approved by provinces and cities. In addition to the direct delegation of half of the nearly 1,000 examination and approval powers for prefectural and municipal administrative affairs to the county, Xiapu will also implement fiscal and taxation policies that are different from those of other districts and counties in the next five years.

In addition to the return of all the land transfer money to the local government, it is also agreed that 60% of the new value-added tax and the transfer payment part of zhongyāng will be directly allocated to the local government, so as to strive to build a comprehensive hub industrial port city in Xinpu as soon as possible.

After the coordination meeting, Shen Huai wanted to pull Zhao Dong, Yang Haipeng, Zhou Zhibai, and Hu Shuwei to the Beishan Hotel to meet with Zhao Tianming, Xu Jian, and Zeng Zhirong of Hengyang Shipbuilding.

Shen Huai didn't come back to the city if he had something to do, and he would live in the old mansion at any time, so there was no reason not to give Sun Yalin the key to his new residence in Xiapu. Shen Huai also knew that even if she didn't give Sun Yalin the key, she wouldn't be able to prevent her from stealing it by herself, but she always felt that she wanted the key at this time, and there was some conspiracy.
