Entering Shimen in late November, a snow had just fallen, and looking down from the porthole of the plane, it was white, giving people the illusion that the world was pure.

Walking out of the passage, I saw Cheng Yi wearing an orange coat standing in the reception hall waiting, her soft and clear face, tall and upright posture, elegant and demure temperament, attracted the frequent attention of passing passengers, but she just looked at him gently, which made Shen Huai's heart flood with a warm current, and walked over to ignore the jealous eyes of others, hugged Cheng Yi in his arms, and asked, "Have you waited for a long time?"

"Fortunately, it was half an hour late. Cheng Yi hugged Shen Huai's arm and asked softly.

Shen Huai and Cheng Yi took their suitcases, contacted the driver waiting in the parking lot, and drove to the provincial party committee's family compound in the twilight, and Cheng Yi and her father rushed back from the provincial government.

At the dinner table, Shen Huai told Cheng Yi and her father the details of the plan to set up Huaihai state-owned assets.

"This time Huaihai still went to the front, and Ji Province has not yet prepared the conditions for such a heavy state-owned aircraft carrier," Cheng Wenguang sighed lightly after listening to it, and he also knew in his heart that Huaihai Province could be the first to set up a state-owned assets management company. Li Gu and other officials of the Department of Planning and Economics in Huaihai Province are committed to promoting the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and in this process, Meigang is also deeply involved, so the biggest resistance to the first step has been greatly eliminated, and these conditions are not what Ji Province can have now, even if Ji Province is forced to do it, it is only to change the soup and not change the medicine, and said, "Although it is the most conservative and effective way to respond to all changes with the same, it also needs to have a more positive attitude......

Although he may be drawn into a deeper vortex of factional struggle, Cheng Wenguang still does not want Shen Huai to be timid and pursue balance too much. Whether it is at present or in the future, it is unlikely that one faction will dominate, whether it is the central or local government, and even if it will encounter some unforeseen resistance, it will not be suppressed after all.

"The issue of the coordinated development of Bohai Bay has also been mentioned by Governor Xu this time, and since Governor Xu has vigorously promoted regional cooperation and local horizontal joint development in Huaihai Bay, he naturally supports the regional cooperation of the three provinces and cities of Bohai Bay, Beijing, Hebei and Jinghai," Shen Huai said, "However, it may be more appropriate for Qinghe to propose more specific plans and ideas, and I have also made an appointment with Ji Chengxi to meet in Shimen tomorrow." ”

In the Huaihai state-owned assets preparation plan, Shen Huai did not compete with Jiang Yibin for the position of the number one, and served as the deputy secretary of the party group and general manager more responsible for daily affairs, and the decision-making power of major construction and investment projects and the appointment of major personnel were still attributed to the members of the party group and the supervisory executive committee led by Jiang Yibin.

Such a compromise plan, in addition to making Xu Pei more determined to promote the establishment of Huaihai state-owned assets, in addition to his need to maintain relative independence in the future factional struggles and maintain only limited cooperation with the Department of Planning and Economics, there is also a goal, Shen Huai also hopes that Xu Pei can play some role in promoting the Bohai Bay regional cooperation in Beijing, Hebei and Jinghai provinces and cities.

In addition to the central economic planning and financial system, the local base camp of the Department of Planning and Economics is mainly in Jinghai.

Xu Pei was also invited by Tian Jiageng to Huaihai to serve as the secretary of the Xucheng Municipal Party Committee from the position of secretary of the Party Working Committee of Binhai New Area in Jinghai - and Gao Qiyun, secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee at this time, as a member of the Politburo, has a higher status than ordinary provincial and municipal leaders, and is basically the core figure of the next session of the Department of Planning and Economics who will enter the central team.

Xu Pei also has a very close relationship with Gao Qiyun, when Gao Qiyun presided over the work of the Jinghai Municipal Government, he served as the secretary general of the municipal government for Gao Qiyun - to promote the Bohai Bay regional cooperation between the three provinces and cities of Beijing, Hebei and Jinghai, Xu Pei can still exert some influence from the side.

Although promoting regional cooperation in the Bohai Bay will be a key step for Cheng Yi and her father to ascend to the throne of the secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, the core work still needs to be done by Ji Chengxi.

The old man of the Ji family unfortunately passed away a few years ago, and the Ji family has been hidden since then, but the influence of the Ji family in the political and military circles is not allowed to be easily peeped at. No matter who has the upper hand in the next central leadership of the Department of Planning and Economics or the Hu Department, the influence of the Ji family will become the most important balancing force.

With the full promotion of all parties, the first phase of the five-year project with a total investment of nearly 40 billion yuan was finally completed and put into trial operation in the middle of the year.

After the completion of the first phase of the Shanxi Coal East Project, Jinnan Group has become a backbone central enterprise with a coal production capacity of 40 million tons, a power generation capacity of more than 2 million kilowatts, an 800-kilometer heavy-haul railway and a port throughput capacity of 30 million tons, and an overall scale of more than three times that of Huaineng Group......

Zhou Tingwei, secretary of the party group and chairman of Jinnan Group, once served as a secretary to Mr. Ji, but after Mr. Ji's death, Tan Jun's father Tan Shiwei also entered the board of directors of Jinnan Group as an independent director.

The 800-kilometer Shiqing heavy-haul railway across southern Hebei is also built by Jinnan Group alone, and the ultra-high voltage transmission project of "Jindian into Beijing and Hebei" will also be the main force of Jinnan Group in the future Luancheng Port, Qinhuangdao Port, The main object of competition and cooperation of Jinghai Port is also the Jihe Port where the Jinnan Group occupies a dominant position at this time; the Jinnan Group occupies three-quarters of the 40 million tons of annual throughput capacity of the Jihe Port, and will further expand the construction of the coal conveying terminal in the future, and eventually form a coal conveying capacity of 200 million tons.

Therefore, whether it is from the influence of the Ji family, or the scale and influence of the coal power and transportation joint ventures that the Ji family has actually formed in southern Jinnan and southern Hebei, to promote the regional cooperation between the three provinces and cities of Beijing, Hebei and Jinghai in the Bohai Bay, Ji Chengxi or the Ji family is the most suitable main promoter.

**************************

Not only Ji Chengxi, but also Zhou Tingwei, secretary of the party group of the Jinnan Group, and Tan Shiwei, Ji Chengxi's brother-in-law, also rushed to Shimen the next day; Cheng Wenguang still invited Ji Chengxi and others to his home for dinner and talk.

Knowing that Huaihai is going to take the lead in establishing a state-owned assets management group, Ji Chengxi, Tan Shiwei, and Zhou Tingwei are quite surprised, but think about the establishment or revitalization of Huaihai Province's backbone enterprises such as Huaihai Coal Group, Huaihai Rongtou, Dongjiang Electric Power, and Huaihai Electric, all of which are directly related to Meigang and the Department of Planning and Economics.

After the completion of the first phase of the Shanxi Coal East South Line Project, Jinnan Group has been able to rank 12th among the backbone central enterprises with assets of more than 10 billion, but thinking of the scale of Huaihai State-owned Assets after its establishment, Jinnan Group, as a backbone central enterprise that is strongly supported by the development of the Ji Department, is far inferior, Zhou Tingwei in front of Cheng Wenguang and Shen Huai, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Huaihai can now establish a state-owned assets group, which is really complicated......"

Shanxi coal east out of the south line project, if simply from the south of Hebei transit, can produce very limited incidental economic benefits to the areas along the line, and at the same time to the north of Hebei coal line, coal port competition, so the local attitude of Hebei Province to the south line project for a long time is ambiguous, not practical support, whether it is the Hebei port or heavy-haul railway, the early stage is the Jinnan Group funded the construction.

The project of the south line of Shanxi coal east was started in 95 years, and the original plan was to be completed by the end of 01, but after Cheng Wenguang went to Hebei Province to serve as the governor, Meigang and Yexin Bank provided nearly 5 billion construction funds for Jinnan Group through various forms, which is the key to the completion of the project one and a half years ahead of schedule.

In the past few years, Meigang has directly participated in the construction and industrial development of Jihe Port and Jihe New Area, and has invested more than 200 million US dollars, which is one of the most important achievements of Qinghe City in attracting investment in recent years;

Yangang's new 3 million tons of steelmaking capacity plant in Jihe is about to be put into operation, and at the same time, it plans to build a larger-scale steel industry base with a steelmaking capacity of more than 10 million tons in Jihe Port with Qinghe City, which will directly promote the industrial development and industrial upgrading of Qinghe, and at the same time, it will directly promote Qinghe to become an important pole of the Bohai Bay region together with the development of the southern line of Shanxi Coal East Line and other industrial clusters.

This played a key role in consolidating Ji Chengxi's position and gaining prestige in Qinghe and even Hebei Province.

At the same time, with the development and rise of the industrial cluster of Jihe Port, Shiqing heavy-haul railway and Jihe Port will not only export coal, but also carry huge economic benefits, and will also greatly reduce the future operating pressure of Jinnan Group - the rapid development of Qinghe City will not only have more local resources, but also attract more external resources to participate in the follow-up construction of the southern line project.

From these perspectives, the Ji family helped Cheng Wenguang to serve as the governor of Ji Province at that time, which was a quite successful move: both Cheng Wenguang and Shen Huai were excellent collaborators of the Ji family.

Although the development of Meigang in Huaihai is more rapid, which makes people have a complicated feeling, the follow-up cooperation will undoubtedly continue firmly.

Ji Department promoted Jinnan Group to become the main body of the construction of the southern line project, and has the right to develop a large coalfield with geological reserves of more than 30 billion tons in Jinnan, but at the beginning of the project, Jinnan Group did not have construction funds in its hands, and nearly 40 billion yuan of construction funds mainly came from bank loans.

Although Jinnan Group is bearing a huge debt of 40 billion yuan at this time, it still has to build the second phase of the project, expand the coal transportation capacity of the southern line, invest heavily in the development of coal-power combined transport, and promote the construction of the "Jinnan Power into Hebei and Beijing" project, and the thirst for funds in the future is still huge.

This time, Zhou Tingwei, Tan Shiwei and Ji Chengxi came over together, in addition to promoting the cooperation in the Bohai Rim region of the three provinces and cities of Beijing, Hebei and Jinghai, there are also more specific cooperation matters to discuss with Shen Huai and Chengwenguang.

The establishment of Huaihai state-owned assets, although Zhou Tingwei and others had a somewhat complicated mood when they heard it, it was also good news for Jinnan Group, which also meant that Shen Huai would have more resources in his hands to promote the cooperation between the two sides.

In the face of Jinnan Group's thirst for capital, Shen Huai said: "After the establishment of Huaihai State-owned Assets, in order to optimize and improve the asset structure of provincial state-owned assets, it will appropriately reduce investment in industry and increase investment in infrastructure and energy with clearer future returns......

The southern line is a systematic project, and the Jinnan Group has never intended to hold 100% of the Shiqing Railway, but due to the lack of interest in the southern line project in Hebei Province at the beginning, the Shiqing Railway, with a total investment of more than 15 billion yuan, in addition to the issuance of 5 billion bonds, the other nearly 10 billion yuan of investment is undertaken by the Jinnan Group.

If Jinnan Group takes out the assets of Shiqing Railway to form a joint-stock company, even if the net funds are converted and transferred to 20% of the equity of Huaihai State-owned Assets, it can return 2 billion funds.

"As soon as Huaihai State-owned Assets was established, you transferred two billion funds outside the province, aren't you afraid that someone in Huaihai Province will poke your backbone and scold?" Ji Chengxi asked with a smile, he had dealt with Shen Huai for a long time, and knew that no such good thing had fallen on them.

"The next step of Jinnan Group is to focus on promoting the operation of coal power, and to promote the project of Jinnan Power into Hebei and Beijing, it must also be interested in power equipment manufacturing," Shen Huai said, "Jinnan Group can take 2 billion yuan to invest in Huaihai Electric......

"Look, I'll just say there's nothing good, right?" Ji Chengxi said with Zhou Tingwei a smile.

Zhou Tingwei smiled dumbly, but thinking about Shen Huai's construction, Jinnan Group didn't seem to have any financial benefits, but this kind of trick would be of great benefit to both parties.

The core of the future development of Jinnan Group is to become an energy-based super enterprise, large-scale electricity from coal is bound to take a step, even if the power equipment manufacturing piece is unwilling to give up, at this time there is no ability to enter, take out 20% of the equity of Shiqing Railway, in exchange for nearly 20% of the equity of Huaihai Electric, may be a more suitable move at the moment.

It's just that Huaihai state-owned assets have gained too many benefits from it:

The establishment of Huaihai Electric is a big move for Shen Huai to promote the restructuring of Huaihai state-owned assets, and it is also the deepest step for Meigang to penetrate the state-owned assets system of Huaihai Province - if Shen Huai directly allocates 2 billion funds to Huaihai Electric for development within Huaihai state-owned assets, it is conceivable how much controversy it will cause.

Shen Huai took 2 billion to buy the equity of Shiqing Railway, improve the investment structure of Huaihai state-owned assets, and finally the 2 billion was transferred to Huaihai Electric through the hands of Jinnan Group, and Huaihai Electric could obtain 2 billion development funds - and for Huaihai Province, the balance of funds in and out, there is no outflow of funds, even if others are well aware of Shen Huai's main intention to promote the development of Huaihai Electric, they will remain silent because of the participation of the Ji family and Jinnan Group.

Once Jinnan Group invests in Huaihai Electric, in the future, Jinnan Group will vigorously develop coal power, develop Jinhai Electric into Hebei and Beijing, and Huaihai Electric will also be able to quickly enter the power equipment market in North China and other places.

More importantly, this equity exchange can enable the Ji family, Jinnan Group and Huaihai Province, and Meigang to build a more direct cooperation bridge, this bridge may be what Xu Pei urgently needs at this time, but think about it, this bridge is not without great benefits to the Ji family and Jinnan Group.

In the struggle between the Ji and the Hu family, the Ji family and the Jinnan group didn't say that if they wanted to stay out of the matter, they could stay out of the matter, otherwise, should they still promote the cooperation in the Bohai Bay region?

Meigang and Huaihai State-owned Assets Group can support Jinnan Group in the future, there is still a limit, but the Department of Planning and Economics occupies the general trend of Jinghai is close at hand, in the future, if you want to strive for more resources from Jinghai, the two sides will more closely promote the coordinated development of the region, Jijia and Jinnan Group still have to maintain a closer cooperative relationship with the Department of Planning and Economics.
