Chapter 637: Trading Conditions
Shen Huai and they came upstairs, and Li Gu, Sun Fujing after a simple greeting, then went to the small few in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to sit around, the indoor heating was very sufficient, there was no sense of chill after the cold wind outside, the afternoon sun sprinkled in, it made people feel that they were in the spring of March.
Cheng Yi did not participate in Shen Huai and Li Gu talking about things, and after greetings, he walked around with Wu Hao's girlfriend Sun Li on the second floor at will, and the field of vision was not particularly broad, but as the Jinghai Road Guest House, which was the conference and reception center of the provincial party committee and the provincial government after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is one of the only two five-star hotels in Xucheng City, and the garden scenery is very distinctive.
The building is based on white rock walls that have been polished gray over the years, and the trees in front of the floating incense pavilion are mainly metasequoias.
Although metasequoia has been widely planted in Huaihai Province, dozens of giant sequoias, which are nearly 100 years old, still give people the feeling of deep forests even in the cold winter season when the branches and leaves are withering.
There are two to three thousand cadres at the department level in the provincial party and mass organs, and it is impossible for everyone to know Li Gu, except for those who have always been in the core or who have regular contact.
Sitting down and looking at Qin Dawei's thirty-five or sixteen years old, he was not a few years younger than him, with a Chinese face and a medium build, Li Gu had no impression of him. Shen Huai said Qin Dawei's name on the phone just now, but he was with Sun Fujing, and it was inconvenient for him to find someone to inquire about Qin Dawei's situation, thinking that since Shen Huai had pulled him over, he should have his superiority or that his relationship with Shen Huai should be closer than others.
Before Sun Fujing was transferred to the Provincial Development Planning Commission, he worked in the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission for a period of time.
Although Qin Dawei had not worked for a long time at that time, his status was not good, compared with Sun Fujing, he had worked together in the same department for two or three years, and they all knew each other.
Sun Fujing greeted with a smile: "Xiao Qin and I haven't seen each other for many years, right?"
"Well, I haven't seen Director Sun for many years...... Qin Dawei called Sun Fujing's old post in the Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission to show his affection, thinking about how ten years ago, Sun Fujing was transferred to the Provincial Planning Commission as a department-level cadre.
Ten years from the department level to the deputy department, it seems that the promotion is slow, but in terms of the real officialdom ecology, Sun Fujing's career is still smooth and appreciated.
It cannot be compared with Li Gu, a rising star in the Department of Planning and Economics, but in the officialdom of Huaihai Province, where nearly 40 percent of the officials at the city and department level are about to reach the age limit within five years, Sun Fujing, who is only 50 years old after the Chinese New Year, is still considered a young Zhuang faction.
Shen Huai is also a Qin Dawei, and he knows a little more about Sun Fujing. In the previous meetings, because there were other people with higher status present, Shen Huai did not have the opportunity to have too deep contact with Sun Fujing.
Sun Fujing smiled at Shen Huai and said: "Shen Huai, you are a busy person now, I haven't caught your person several times, you must know that you and Xiao Qin are close friends, so you don't need to make so many detours." ”
"This is Mr. Sun, you lift me up. Mr. Sun has something to look for me, make a phone call, can I still hide?" Shen Huai said with a smile.
Seriously speaking, Sun Fujing was transferred to take charge of Huaimei, but he was promoted by the former secretary of the provincial party committee, so Sun belonged to the old family in the officialdom of Huaihai Province, and he did not match Zhao and Tian.
Although the former secretary of the provincial party committee has retired, due to health reasons, he has not served in the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but the influence of many years of operation is still there.
Sun Fujing, the old person who was promoted and appointed by the former secretary of the provincial party committee, although Su Weijun did not have enough prestige to gather them to his side, he could still take care of each other in everything, so as not to be overly suppressed by Ye and Tian.
There is no so-called honesty in officialdom, and the level of Qin Dawei and Sun Fujing's work together is too low, Shen Huai never thought that through Qin Dawei, there was a possibility of collusion with Sun Fujing.
On the issue of Meigang's backdoor listing, the further split within the Song family actually left Shen Huai with extremely limited time to adjust the layout, and there was no way to slowly collude with Sun Fujing, so he used the most direct way to exert direct pressure on Huai Coal and Sun Fujing.
If the Xinpu Steel Mill's annual coke order of 15.6 million tons is not attractive to Huaimei and Sun Fujing, then it can only be stopped.
In terms of Sun Fujing's position at this time and the degree of Huai Coal Group's participation in the entire Huai Coal East Export Project, Shen Huai believes that Sun Fujing has a certain understanding of the internal problems of the Song Dynasty - in this case, under the deliberate neglect of Meigang, Sun Fujing still does not give up Meigang's coke order, indicating that he still wants to make a difference in charge of Huai Coal.
Shen Huai is not a person who is not afraid of things, but he will not be afraid to contact and cooperate with officials and heads of state-owned enterprises who want to make a difference.
Time is limited, everyone is very busy, Li Gu and Sun Fujing went straight to the point, directly talking about the coke order of Xinpu Steel Mill, Shen Huai did not go around any circle, but also directly talked about the construction of the coal trading market.
"Before the construction of Xinpu Steel Plant, Meigang took over the Zhaopu Ironmaking Plant in Xiapu to renovate it to ensure the supply of iron for Meigang Plant 1 and Plant 2," Shen Huai said, electric furnace steelmaking uses scrap steel as the main raw material, but it also needs to add a certain amount of pig iron to adjust the carbon ratio, Zhaopu Iron Plant has an annual output of 200,000 tons of pig iron after rectification, which is the most important raw material plant of Meigang Plant 1 and 2." In the process of rectification of Zhaopu Steel Mill, we found that the coal market in the province was chaotic, not to mention the price chaos, and the quality of the coke supplied was also uneven, making it difficult for the iron mill to control the quality of procurement. Therefore, in the later stage, we reduced the amount of coke purchased in the province and turned to other provinces to find stable coke sources. When Xinpu Iron and Steel is ready to be established, we will also follow this idea in the supply organization of raw materials......"
"Secretary Li asked me to come over to meet, and I guessed that Secretary Li hoped that the development of Meigang would drive the development of the province's economy to a greater extent," Shen Huai said, "but when it comes to the problem of the coal market in the province, I still have a lot of worries." But when it comes to how to rectify the coal market in the province, Dawei and Wu Hao have a deep study, which is why I brought them over to meet with Secretary Li and Mr. Sun......"
Sun Fujing and Li Gu glanced at each other.
At present, the problems of the coal market in the province, they have just communicated, and it can be said with certainty that the loss of Huai Coal Group is related to the loss of a large number of "market coal" profits.
When it comes to the study of the coal market in the province, Qin Dawei, Wu Hao, and even Shen Huai, no matter how deep they study, they cannot be more professional than Sun Fujing.
Huaihai Province produces 30 million tons of coal annually at this time, and Meigang's future coke procurement will only account for 5%, according to this ratio, Meigang is not enough to have a say in the coal industry in the province.
The problem is that the 30 million tons of coal mined in Huaihai Province every year are mainly concentrated in coking coal and coke, and the other blocks are either small profits or losses.
Huaihai Province produces less than two million tonnes of coking coal and coke a year, but generates almost half of the profits of the province's entire coal industry.
Before the Xinpu Steel Plant, Huaigang was the largest user of blast furnace coke in the province, due to the relatively backward technology and high unit coke consumption ratio, with the existing blast furnace steelmaking capacity to consume nearly one million tons of coke per year, accounting for half of the province's coke output.
However, Huaigang has its own coal mills and coking plants, and the profits of this part of the coke market are also an important source of profits for Huaigang, which other coal companies have no way to participate in.
At this time, if we measure Meigang's annual coke purchase volume of 15.6 million tons, we can see the weight of it.
What is the right to speak?
The right to speak is that Meigang will hand over the order to the Huai Coal Group, and the more than 10,000 cadres and employees of the Huai Coal Group will be able to eat and drink enough, which will make Sun Fujing's position in the Huai Coal Group stable and his prestige will rise, and the Huai Coal Group will stand out among many provincial state-owned enterprises, and the Huai Coal Group will have the ability to expand, so that Sun Fujing can gain more political capital...... If Meigang handed over the orders to other coal companies, or even to the Huai Coal Group and Sun Fujing's competitors, once the province lost patience with Sun Fujing's delay in improving the Huai Coal Group's operating conditions, then Sun Fujing would have no choice but to transfer him to other provincial departments, prefectures, cities, or state-owned enterprises at the department level to take up a deputy post until he retired.
The reality is so cruel, the decision on the appointment of city officials lies with the provincial standing committee, and the bigwigs in the province have their own descendants, Sun Fujing can't catch up on both sides, and there is no hard power to support, so it is impossible to gain a foothold.
Therefore, no matter how Sun Fujing thinks that his research on the coal market in the province is more in-depth than that of Qin Dawei, Wu Hao and even Shen Huai, at this time he can only listen to Qin Dawei and Wu Hao talk about the construction of the coal trading market.
At six o'clock, Shen Huai received a call from his sister-in-law urging him to go over for dinner, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Li Gu said: "I was also very inspired by the acquaintance between Director Qin and Xiao Wu. If you really want to establish a coal trading market now, it is naturally the most suitable place in Xinpu Port. In this way, should Director Qin and Xiao Wu draw up a more detailed proposal with the Huai Coal Group and Xinpu Port on the construction of the coal trading market, so that everyone can have a basis for further discussion?"
Sun Fujing glanced at Li Gu, nodded as well, and said, "This is more suitable." This work is to speed up the advancement...... but he hesitated a little and asked Li Gu, "Do you want to invite the Provincial Planning Commission to participate?"
It is the competence of the Provincial Planning Commission to really build a province-wide coal trading market.
Leaving aside the Provincial Planning Commission and letting a deputy department-level official of the province's foreign trade and economic cooperation take the lead in doing this, it is impossible to deal with the taste, and it will cause great unnecessary trouble and controversy.
Li Gu looked at Shen Huai, and Shen Huai's eyes just looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Li Gu smacked his lips and said: "If this coal trading market is only jointly built by Huai Coal and Xinpu Development Group, and the main rectification is the 'market coal trading' order of Huai Coal Group, then there is no need to involve the Provincial Planning Commission in ......."
"Okay, then let's follow Secretary Li's instructions and study it first. Sun Fujing said, secretly feeling that Li Gu is still very courageous, knowing that this is a condition proposed by Shen Huai, which may cause unnecessary trouble and controversy, he still accepts it with all his might, and it is indeed different from those officials who are engaged in long-term balance and play with fiction and reality.
