Signing an agreement, taking a stake in Meixi Port Company, and officially gaining equal control over Meixi Port Wharf with Meigang and Huaineng Group should have been a celebratory event, but it was because of seeing Shen Huai appear on the embankment on the west bank of the Meixi River, except for Liang Rongjun, everyone else had a yin shadow in their hearts that could not be removed.

Tan Qiping felt tired for no reason, and when he attended the dinner at the Nanyuan Hotel, he asked Huang Xi to drive him back, and he was not in the mood to stay and have a long talk with Xie Haicheng and Sun Qiyi.

Seeing Tan Qiping's car go away, Xie Zhi pursed her lips slightly, turned her face sideways and glanced at her father, seeing that her father also had a look of depression in his eyes, he sighed and didn't say anything.

Xie Chengjiang stood behind the steps and said, "No matter what Shen Huai's idea is, we should not go deeper into Donghua. ”

Xie Zhi glanced back at her brother, wanted to say something, and found that there was something that could refute her brother's words.

Although the matter of participating in the Meixi Power Plant has not been negotiated for the time being because many details of the second phase of the project have not been negotiated, as far as the current situation is concerned, Governor Zhao Qiuhua is firmly promoting the large-scale electric furnace steel project of the Provincial Steel in Meixi.

Although Sun Qiyi has a great say in the Asia-Pacific affairs of the Evergreen Group, he is ultimately restricted by the headquarters of the Evergreen Group; Fuji Steel's interest is only in the extension and in-depth penetration of its overseas industrial chain, and it does not intend to involve the power struggle in the domestic officialdom, but only pursues their interests in the overseas industrial layout of the Evergreen Group and Fuji Steel, and the expansion of the steel industry layout in Meixi by the United Provincial Steel, seems to be the trend of the times, and it is not Haifeng that can stop it.

Just a few years ago, Xie Zhi advocated undertaking the Xiamei Highway reconstruction project, or wanted to take the initiative step by step, but who would have thought that Shen Huai would choose to withdraw here, and immediately let them fall into a situation of "neither advance nor retreat".

In the past two or three years, SITC has invested a lot in Donghua, from the earliest mechanical and electrical factory, the Four Seasons Garden Hotel, and the recent equity investment in Fuji Steel's joint venture steel mill, the reconstruction project of Xiamei Highway, the office building project on the north side of Zhuxi Avenue, and the shareholding in Meixi Port Company, almost all of the nearly 200 million cash flow generated by SITC in the past two or three years has been consumed in Donghua, and it is impossible to withdraw.

According to the economic development level of Donghua City before 94 years, SITC Group and Evergreen Group, with an investment of more than 300 million yuan, definitely occupy a considerable weight in the city's economic activities and can exert vital influence, but it is not others who fight with them closely, but Shen Huai, who makes them unable to see through and do things with a wide open mind, so that SITC has never had the opportunity to seize any initiative in Donghua.

The city steel crisis barely passed, Xie Zhi once thought that they could gradually grasp the situation and help Tan Qiping save the unfavorable situation in Donghua, but he never imagined that Shen Huai would choose to let go of his position at this time, not hesitate to lead the wolf into the house, and let the provincial steel with the support of Governor Zhao Qiuhua follow up on a large scale.

Although the investment opportunities that Meigang and Huai can make are also open to SITC, the strength of SITC is still weaker, and the funds that can be taken out for additional investment are quite limited, and the follow-up cannot change the situation dominated by provincial steel.

No matter what Shen Huai's idea is behind him, when Tan Qiping has not completely recovered from the crisis in the city, Shen Huai does not hesitate to lure the wolf into the house and let the provincial steel enter on a large scale, which will only allow the Zhao officials to continue to expand their basic territory in Donghua and further form a crowding trend for Tan Qiping - in the near future, it may not be impossible for Zhao Qiuhua to directly promote the transfer of Tan Qiping out of Donghua in the province.

Once the provincial steel occupies the leading power in Donghua's economic development, and then borrows Yu Chengzhen and other officials to carry out in-depth penetration into all aspects of Donghua, so that Tan Qiping becomes dispensable in Donghua, Zhao Qiuhua, as the governor, directly proposed to transfer Tan Qiping out of Donghua, which became natural and logical.

Could it be that Shen Huai's purpose is this?

Didn't Shen Huai not hesitate to lose both, but also drag Tan Qiping into the water?

"What is Shen Huai messing around like this for?" Xie Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"What's so incomprehensible about this," Xie Chengjiang said with a tense face, "Hasn't he always wanted to destroy the Song family all these years before he is willing?"

Xie Zhi exhaled lightly, knowing that Shen Huai would not easily let go of the old hatred abandoned on the farm when he was a child, thinking that maybe only this understanding could explain his thoughts of dragging Tan Qiping off the horse at the expense of losing both sides and collapsing the pattern that Song had finally formed in Huaihai, but she still had doubts in her heart and asked, "Can Aunt Song and Song Hongjun condone him to mess around like this?"

"That can only be said that his previous grievances sold too well......," Xie Chengjiang said.

Shut down

Xie Zhi was also speechless about this, and Tan Qiping and them were always persecuting Shen Huai in Donghua before, and at this time, Shen Huai took the initiative to withdraw, and they couldn't say that he was not.

"Huai Neng and Hongji also dragged Mei Gang too much at this time, and many things can only be kidnapped by Shen Huai to advance and retreat together," Xie Chengjiang said again, "And Cheng Wenguang and Dai Chengguo had some slight remarks about their uncle's appointment to Huaihai Province as vice governor at the beginning, but they didn't show it, and it is not unimaginable to remain silent now." ”

Xie Zhi saw her father standing aside and remained silent, knowing that this incident was quite a big blow to her father.

It's not that Haifeng will have any direct losses, but Xie Haicheng has been smiling and arrogant in the political and business circles over the years, but he has led Shen Huai, a hairy boy who didn't look at him at all, from beginning to end, and at this time, he even has to consider whether to give up the political allies who have been working closely with him for a long time.

Xie Chengjiang said: "Meixi Power Plant and the electric furnace steel project led by Provincial Steel in the future, I don't advocate following up; before the situation is clear, Xiaomei will stay in Donghua to digest the existing business, maybe she can draw some more people from Hong Kong to strengthen the team here." ”

Xie Zhi thought that it was all the only way.

Nobuo Yamazaki stood in front of the window, watching the Xie father and daughter standing there talking at the parking lot for a while after Tan Qiping left.

Nobuo Yamazaki turned around and said to a young man sitting on the sofa in the room, "Yasuda-kun, how long do you plan to stay in China this time?"

"I may not leave," Yasuda said, sitting on stilts on the sofa, "The Chinese government will allow foreign banks to set up branches directly in China, although the opening is not large, but the headquarters also intends to take this opportunity to enter China." However, whether this office will be located in Yenching or Quang Nam is still being discussed at the headquarters – it's really annoying – so whether I will stay in Yenching or Quang Nam is still uncertain. However, I would like to set up a branch in Donghua, so that I can come and chat with you from time to time......

"Is that right?" Nobuo Yamazaki was quite pleased when he heard the news that Yasuda Bank was about to enter China, and asked, "Now Fuji Steel's investment in China has to go through a lot of formalities and is very troublesome, and if Yasuda Bank really wants to enter China, not only Fuji Steel's industrial layout in China can be accelerated, but Yasuda Chaebol's actions in the entire overseas layout can also be accelerated; but does Yasuda Bank really plan to set up an office in Donghua as well?"

"Donghua is a very inconspicuous place, and even if it is at such a speed, it will take several years to catch up with Pingjiang City, but there are a few interesting characters," said Yasuda Seizhi, "This Shen Huai has been staying in Birmingham during his time in the UK, and has contact with West Youmings and Feiqi Industries. It's just that Tan, Yu, and others, who are the powerful people in Donghua you mentioned, don't know anything about these things, so how can they be Shen Huai's opponents? If you want to avoid Fuji Steel being marginalized in Donghua, how can Yasuda Bank not help you?"

"Shall we tell Tan and Yu this information?"

"I'm afraid it's too late now, and it's meaningless," Yasuda Tomosei said disdainfully, "Besides, if you kill the opponent directly in the cradle, it's really boring......"

At the signing ceremony, Provincial Steel, Evergreen Group and Fuji Steel held a banquet to celebrate, and Pengyue, Zhujiang Construction and Zhongxin Investment also held a banquet in Shangxi Park to celebrate - this time, although Provincial Steel was asked to obtain equal control of the Meixi Port wharf, Pengyue, Zhujiang Construction and Zhongxin Investment also returned much larger funds than originally invested, which is also a matter worth congratulating.

Shen Huai held the list of people attending the signing ceremony today, saw that the representative of Yasuda Bank was also surnamed Yasuda, pointed to the name Yasuda Zhicheng, and asked Sun Yalin: "You said that this Yasuda Zhicheng, is it from the Yasuda family?"

Japan's economy is supported to a considerable extent by financial capital groups, and because the traditional closed nature of Japan's economy and society is very serious, the outside world is accustomed to calling Japan's financial capital groups "zaibatsu."

The Yasuda zaibatsu with Yasuda Bank as the core is still quite unfamiliar in China, but in fact, Fuji Steel, as the third largest steelmaking company in Japan, is only a side branch of the Yasuda zaibatsu.

In addition to the direct investment of Fuji Steel's joint venture steel mill in Donghua, a loan of about $30 million in yen will be provided by Yasuda Bank, and Fuji Steel, Provincial Steel, and Evergreen Group will also provide a loan of equivalent yen of $10 million to supplement the construction funds with a stake in the Meixi Port Company.

Although the assets of the Evergreen Group are also billions of dollars, they are still very weak compared to the Yasuda chaebol.

The State Council has recently opened up the opening for foreign-funded banking institutions to directly enter the country, and Shen Huai has also seen the list of the first batch of foreign-funded banks that are willing to enter the country, and Yasuda Bank is also among them.

Although these foreign banks will not be allowed to directly absorb deposits in China for the time being, these foreign banks have strong capital strength, and once they have the conditions to directly enter the domestic industrial investment market, they may move more quickly than imagined.

In particular, Fuji Steel's close relationship with Yasuda Bank made some matters more urgent for Meigang.

"......," Sun Yalin said, turning her head sideways, "is a high-spirited fellow, with the smell of arrogance in his bones, and only people from small Japanese chaebol families can have such a disgusting smell." ”

Japan has risen to become one of the most dynamic economies in the world since the seventies and eighties, and the Japanese chaebol has been rampaging in the capital market for nearly two decades. In contrast, the capital forces of Western Europe, such as Britain and France, are relatively weak, and they cooperate with each other, but more often than not.

Shen Huai smiled, although he was working hard to learn Japan's economic model in many aspects, he didn't have any good feelings about Japan in his bones, and he could understand Sun Yalin's feelings.
