Shen Huai and Xiong Daini stared at the oncoming traffic, concentrating on finding the taxi that was not carrying passengers, and did not notice that Dailing and her classmates were passing by on a bus.

More than a dozen taxis passed, but there were no empty cars, Shen Huai was also anxious, so he didn't care about the possibility of being seen, so he drove his car out of the parking lot, took Xiong Daini to the east of Yanjing Road, and put her down at the mouth of two alleys from Xiong Daini's house, and then drove back to his residence to pack his luggage - he would spend the next week in Hong Kong.

The "Hong Kong Huaihai Week" investment promotion activities will be held in Hong Kong for a week, and the entire investment promotion group plus the Hong Kong guests who will return to Hong Kong together will have four to five hundred people, and everyone will take two special planes from Xucheng International Airport to Hong Kong.

Although Shen Huai and Zhou Yu were on the same special plane, and when they met again in the afternoon, Zhou Yu never glanced at Shen Huai again.

After last night's madness, his mind has not yet struggled out of the confusion, Shen Huai is also afraid that others will see some traces, and he did not dare to "harass" Zhou Yu, but sat with Jiang Yibin and discussed the activities and project negotiations with the people in charge of the provincial state-owned enterprises participating in this investment promotion activity.

Although provincial state-owned enterprises have always been the highlight of investment promotion activities, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has become solid, and the restructuring and reorganization of provincial state-owned enterprises is mainly to develop technology- and capital-intensive advanced manufacturing industries, as well as energy, infrastructure and other industries that control the lifeblood of the local economy.

Even if the provincial state-owned enterprises have not officially signed the projects that have been negotiated for nearly a year, they have concentrated on this investment promotion activity to sign, and they do not account for too much proportion.

Cui Weiping, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Xucheng Municipal Party Committee, urged Rongxin and Baohe to jointly undertake the two key projects of the East Ring Expressway and the Nanwan Lake International Expo Park, which was almost spread throughout the investment promotion group this afternoon.

The East Ring Expressway and the bridge across the Zhujiang River have a budget investment of more than 2 billion, and the Nanwan Lake International Expo Park covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, and the budget investment is as high as 6 or 7 billion yuan - everyone has become a foil to watch the play.

More importantly, the two projects of the East Ring Expressway and the International Expo Park have not been heard at all before, but they happened to be unveiled when the investment delegation went to Hong Kong.

It is precisely because the candidates who participated in the "Hong Kong Huaihai Week" investment promotion activities this time were all "carefully selected" that the atmosphere was even more depressing, and people like Ge Yongqiu, even if they gloated, would not be superficial enough to show the triumph in their hearts.

Even though Xu Pei and the others took a slightly later special plane, everyone on this special plane was depressed, and they were cautious about what they said, for fear that if there were any inappropriate words, others would reach the ears of Governor Xu Pei, which would make Governor Xu Pei particularly irritable.

When I flew to Hong Kong, it was already evening, and the setting sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and fell on the spacious hall, shining on everyone's faces, but it could not illuminate everyone's emotions.

Jiang Yibin and Guo Chengze walked over to Shen Huai and asked, "Are we waiting for Governor Xu and their plane to come over, and then go to the hotel together?"

Although Shen Huai had already made an appointment with Song Hongjun, Sun Qiyi and others to meet in Hong Kong, it was not good to leave the group and act alone on the first day of arrival in Hong Kong.

They took off from Xucheng International Airport nearly an hour after the second special plane, and should have arrived at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport about an hour after them -- the others rushed to the hotel by bus first, and Shen Huai accompanied Guo Chengze, Jiang Yibin, and others to stay at the airport, waiting for Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, and Li Gu to take the second special plane.

The staff who planned the activities in the early stage guarded the exit and sent people to entertain Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze, and Shen Huai to the café on the east side of the pick-up hall to sit down and rest.

Shen Huai and the three of them went to the corner of the café by the window, watching the airport outside the window shining in the sunset - Su Ping, Feng Zhichu and other entourages did not move forward, but scattered with other staff members on the peripheral tables, so as to avoid unrelated people sitting over to hear Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, and Guo Chengze talk about things.

After sitting down, Jiang Yibin opened the conversation box and asked Shen Huai:

"You mentioned to Mayor Li last night that our provincial state-owned assets should undertake the construction of the university science and technology park, what do you think specifically?"

Jiang Yibin asked at this time, and Shen Huai also knew that it should be Xu Pei who wanted Jiang Yibin to communicate with him on these issues first - although this trip to Hong Kong seemed to have a lot of time, but Xu Pei was surrounded by the main leaders of various cities, and he had to contact all aspects of Hong Kong, but he didn't have time to talk to Shen Huai alone.

Jiang Yibin is the secretary of the party group and director of the provincial state-owned assets management office, and whether it is the provincial state-owned assets management office to set up an investment company to undertake the construction of a university science and technology park, or the implementation of the Temasek model and the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company, Jiang Yibin's opinion is definitely counted as one vote; when he talks to Shen Huai, it can also be said that the provincial state-owned assets management office first communicates and unifies opinions.

Shen Huai thought to himself that Xu Peidu had become the governor of the province, and he was also calculating the gains and losses of one city and one place with Cui Weiping and Hu officials, and it seemed that he was still more vigilant than he imagined about Cui Weiping's attack.

Of course, promoting the construction of the university science and technology park now is definitely a good thing for the long-term development of Huaihai Province, and the significance is by no means limited to the development of Nanwan Lake New Area or Xucheng City.

Education is the foundation of industrial society, although Huaihai has not been able to fully develop this advantage in the past, and its economic development is somewhat lagging behind, but the level of higher education is in the forefront of the country. In recent years, the development of Donghua and Xucheng has not encountered the neck bottle of talents, and it is full of potential, which can be said to be the precipitation of educational resources in Huaihai Province for decades.

There are nine state-level key colleges and universities, and there are as many as 27 colleges and universities under the ministry, even before the merger and expansion of colleges and universities, there are more than 100,000 teachers and students living and studying in Xucheng at the same time.

Although Xucheng has an expanded scale of colleges and universities, and the old city alone can accommodate hundreds of thousands of teachers and students to study and live, with the merger and expansion of colleges and universities in recent years, as well as with the economic development, the living and learning conditions of teachers and students have also been continuously improved, and the colleges and universities in Xucheng are facing the current situation of shortage of resources, which is first manifested in the lack of school buildings.

The total number of students in each school has long exceeded 10,000, but the campus area of Huai University of Technology, Huai Normal University and other colleges and universities in the urban area is only 1,000 acres, and it has long been crowded.

Although Huai University of Technology, Huai Normal University and other schools as early as 95 and 96 should be on the track, expand enrollment and education development situation in Zhunan to start the construction of new school concentration areas, but the Ministry of Education and the provincial financial allocation and the financial resources of the colleges and universities themselves were greatly restricted, and at the same time, there is no full estimate of the development situation of higher education after 2,000 years. Many problems such as the narrow area of planning and construction are far from meeting the needs of the rapid expansion and development of higher education in the province.

Xiong Wenbin proposed a new urban construction plan for Xucheng in 98, and also mentioned the construction of a new university concentration area, in the new adjustment plan, the province and Xucheng City both planned to build a larger-scale university science and technology park east of Nanwan Lake.

In the past two years, the Provincial Education Commission, together with various universities, the Xucheng Urban Planning Commission and the Urban Planning and Design Institute, have also come up with the detailed planning plan of the university science and technology park.

As the most important component of Nam Van Lake New Area and as the education park of Nam Van Lake, the University Science and Technology Park is planned to build a university concentration area that can accommodate 250,000 teachers and students to study and live in the future, supplemented by supporting residential, commercial and innovative industrial parks, covering a total area of 40 square kilometers.

The initial plan was for the universities to undertake the construction of their new campuses, Xucheng to undertake the construction of public infrastructure, and in addition to the student apartment and dormitory areas, the supporting residential and commercial areas were handed over to the market for development, and Xucheng City would work with the universities to promote the construction of innovation industrial parks.

It is said that the colleges and universities undertake the construction of their new campuses, but the colleges and universities do not have many operating industries in their hands, and their financial resources are limited, such as Huai University of Technology, Huai Normal University, Huaihai Institute of Technology, Huaihai Medical University and other domestic first-class key universities, which have received relatively more education funds, but they are mainly used for the construction of the new campus in Zhunan, and there is no spare energy to start the construction of a larger-scale new campus in Nanwan Lake at the same time.

In fact, the construction of the University Science and Technology Park in Nanwan Lake New Area will ultimately fall on the financial allocation of the provincial and Xucheng municipal governments.

The province and Xucheng City, the financial situation in the past two years has been much more relaxed than in the past, but there are too many homework to make up, where is it possible to come up with one or two billion yuan of funds to build a university science and technology park east of Nam Van Lake?

In fact, as far as the entire Nanwan Lake New Area is concerned, the province and Xucheng District are not in a hurry to start construction in the past two years, and plan to wait for the financial situation to further improve, roughly until about three years, and then pull out 35 billion yuan per year from the provincial and municipal finances to increase the intensity of promoting the construction of the new area.

At other times, when Xu Pei presided over the work of the provincial government, there was really no need to compete with Cui Weiping, who was in charge of the work of Xucheng City, for the gains and losses of one city and one place; Li Gu, as the mayor of Xucheng City, did not necessarily have to cover Cui Weiping's edge. The problem lies in this large-scale investment promotion activity, this time to engage in centralized signing of projects, Xu Pei has the intention of pasting gold on his face, Cui Weiping engaged in such a "raid", Xu Pei's face is embarrassed, and under Cui Weiping's-for-tat "attack", if Xu Pei is weak, the province is likely to be like a domino, resulting in a series of chain reactions and changes in the situation.

This is the last thing Xu Pei wants to see.

Now that Cui Weiping is pulling Rongxin, Bao and Gu Jia to settle down in the Nanwan Lake New Area first, Xu Pei does not need to be in a hurry to react to this investment promotion activity, but he must make a response as soon as possible.

The University Science and Technology Park project, whether in terms of the construction of Nanwan Lake New Area, the development scale of Xucheng New Town, or the promotion of the development of higher education, culture, innovation and high-tech industries in the province, is undoubtedly able to overpower the construction of the Expo Park and the East Ring Expressway project.

Promoting the construction of the university science and technology park is also in line with Xu Pei's identity at this time, and Xu Pei can also gather more popularity and prestige, and can more smoothly replace Zhong Limin as the secretary of the provincial party committee.

However, except for some residential and commercial facilities, the university science and technology park is a hard investment, and there is no way to introduce investment capital.

In the case that the province and Xucheng City can't come up with much financial allocation, how to raise the tens of billions of construction funds that need to be invested in the first phase?

Jiang Yibin stopped Shen Huai to represent Xu Pei, and wanted to ask Shen Huai, a "smart woman", how to cook without rice?

After last night, Shen Huai did not have time to think about these problems, Jiang Yibin asked, he simply said: "The provincial state-owned enterprises restructuring and reorganization, the next step is to reduce the dependence on bank loans, more to carry out extensive technical and capital cooperation with overseas enterprises, I estimate that the provincial state-owned assets system in the next three to five years even if the demand for bank loans will not fall rapidly, there will be no big growth, which is actually for the provincial state-owned assets to build a university science and technology park to win a certain amount of construction loans......

Hearing Shen Huai say this, Jiang Yibin also nodded convincingly, a considerable amount of new loans from banks in the province have flowed to provincial state-owned enterprises, which is the current policy and political need to adhere to the economy owned by the whole people as the main body.

On the one hand, the proportion of new loans flowing from banks to the provincial state-owned assets system does not decrease - in fact, the amount of new loans will increase by hundreds of millions to billions of dollars every year according to the local economic development situation - and at the same time, the provincial state-owned assets system controls the dependence on bank loans, and the newly increased loan amount can indeed flow to the university science and technology park holding company established under the provincial state-owned assets system for the construction of university towns.

As for how to control the dependence on bank loans within the provincial state-owned assets system, this is Shen Huai's scope of responsibility and expertise; and the provincial banks of several major commercial banks and the Industrial Credit Bank still have more inclined trust in Shen Huai as the provincial state-owned assets operator, which is also a fact that Jiang Yibin has to admit.

"The provincial state-owned assets set up a holding company to undertake the investment and construction of the university science and technology park, even if there is a provincial financial endorsement to directly obtain a certain amount of loans, but the amount of loans squeezed out of the provincial financial system every year is limited. Before the provincial and Xucheng finances become more financially prosperous, the provincial state-owned assets need to draw more funds from other places to inject more funds to ensure that the construction of the university science and technology park will not be interrupted," Shen continued, "and in order to facilitate the overall coordination and operation of capital, there is also a need to establish a provincial state-owned assets management company......

Jiang Yibin glanced at Guo Chengze, and separated the provincial state-owned assets in Huaihai Financial Investment, Dongjiang Power, Dongjiang Real Estate, Dongshi Group, Huaihai Electric and other enterprises from various provincial state-owned assets enterprises and placed them under the unified management of the provincial state-owned assets management company. The provincial state-owned enterprises are placed under the provincial state-owned assets management company, which can indeed be conducive to the overall coordination and operation of the provincial state-owned capital, and with Shen Huai's ability and the extended resources that he can influence, it is indeed possible to undertake the construction of the university science and technology park......

In addition, the university town is a non-profit engineering project, and there is no way to recover the construction funds invested, but the bank loan used for construction must be repaid with interest.

Before the provincial and Xucheng finances have not grown to a certain scale, the repayment of the principal and interest of the university town construction loan still needs to be coordinated within the provincial state-owned assets, which also strengthens the necessity of establishing a provincial state-owned assets management company.

Otherwise, in the future, the provincial state-owned assets groups such as Provincial Iron and Steel, Huai Coal, and Yidian will be required to share the repayment of the principal and interest of the university town construction loan with various colleges and universities.

Although Shen Huai tied the university town project with the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company, which is suspected of taking the opportunity to expand its power, it is necessary to tie this matter together to have the possibility of operation.

At the same time, just the establishment of the provincial state-owned assets management company, from the provincial state-owned enterprises to take power, the resistance is bound to be great, but the two things are tied together, all the forces that hope to promote the start of the construction of the university town, most likely will also become the force to promote the formation of the provincial state-owned assets management company, which can greatly reduce the resistance.

Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, and Guo Chengze sat in a corner of the airport café, discussing things secretly.

Seeing that the next special plane was about to arrive, the staff of the investment promotion activity ran over from outside, and did not directly come over to disturb Shen Huai and Jiang Yibin to talk, but told them through Su Ping, director of the General Office of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office:

"Gu Zejun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Baohe Real Estate, Ma Zhiming, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, and the heads of the Hong Kong co-organizers all came to the airport to pick up Governor Xu and them......

Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, Li Gu, and others all took the second special plane; Shen Huai and the others took the first special plane, and there were no "important people," so they directly arranged to take a bus to the hotel, so they did not arrange any welcoming ceremony.

Shen Huai hadn't had much contact with the Gu family before, and when they walked out of the café with Jiang Yibin and Guo Chengze, they saw that the people who greeted them from Hong Kong were already in the pick-up hall.

Seeing them coming out of the café here, the people who greeted them at the airport from the direction of Hong Kong also greeted them here.

The man in the center is a burly man who looks almost sixty years old. Although this person is much different from Gu Zexiong's age, the two have similar faces, and Shen Huai guesses that he is Gu Zejun. Although the old man of the Gu family is still there, he has been lying in the hospital for several years, and the current head of the Gu family is Gu Zhengyuan's eldest son Gu Zejun, who is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Baohe Real Estate, but also the president of Baohe Group, the parent company of Baohe Holdings.

The staff who arrived in advance introduced Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze and Gu Zejun to Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze and Gu Zejun and others, and the large screen above the pick-up hall showed that the special plane taken by Xu Pei and others was landing, and everyone stood in the hall to greet each other.

Gu Zejun is a person who is indifferent in words, regardless of his personality, just from the point where he stepped on the second special plane and rushed to the airport, you can know that he does not take Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze and others in his eyes, and Xu Pei, Cui Weiping and others can ask him to come to the airport to greet him in person.

Hong Kong's return to the mainland after nearly a century of colonial rule in '97 actually has extremely complex and subtle psychological factors for the mainland -- and economically speaking, Hong Kong is much more developed than the mainland, and in recent years it has gradually come out of the impact of the Asian financial turmoil, while Huaihai gives outsiders the impression that it is still a lagging inland province.

However, Ma Zhiming, deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, although he is a deputy provincial and ministerial-level official, has a kind temper, and is also an official of the Department of Planning and Economics, and has a very good personal relationship with Xu Pei.

However, seeing Ma Zhiming's brows twisted slightly, Shen Huai guessed that he should also know the reason why Gu Zejun appeared at the airport to greet him.

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

Soon a large group of people came out of it, and two or three planes landed at about the same time, Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, Li Gu and others were sandwiched between a large group of people and walked over here.

Only then did Shen Huai see that Kou Xuan was also in the crowd, and she was some distance away from her mother Yu Wei, but when she saw him standing outside, she only showed a bright smile and didn't come over.

After all, there are so many officials in the province and city, and Shen Huai doesn't know how to explain the relationship between them to outsiders after Kou Xuan comes over.

People come and go, and the pick-up hall is not long in the airport, and after a simple greeting, everyone goes out of the hall.

Everyone rushed to the hotel by bus, Shen Huai guarded his duty of "deputy department and bureau level", did not go to Xu Pei and Cui Weiping, stood behind and watched Gu Zejun and others accompany Xu Pei and them to take the first bus, he waited until the second bus came over, and then pushed everyone to board the bus, but unexpectedly Yu Wei and his entourage also followed from behind.

"Why is Mr. Yu squeezing the bus with us?" Feng Zhichu asked Yu Wei with a smile, he glanced at Kou Xuan, and secretly said that the mother and daughter were really fragrant, he was going to sit in the back row of Shen Huai, but knowing the close relationship between Shen Huai and Kou Xuan, he walked further back, leaving the seat in the back row of Shen Huai to Yu Wei's mother and daughter to sit.

"You can still ask Secretary General Feng for questions when you take the bus," Yu Wei said with a smile......

Although there was a whole team of cars to follow, in this case, even Gu Zejun, Feng Zhiming and others also accompanied Xu Pei and them to take the bus together, otherwise the question of arranging who to sit with whom would kill the staff, but Yu Wei squeezed over to take the bus, thinking that she was also worried about the threat to her from the cooperation between the Gu family and the Hu family.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Sun, will they also go to the hotel to attend the dinner today?" Yu Wei was about to sit down and asked Shen Huai, who was sitting in the front row.

Seeing Yu Wei ask about Song Hongjun and Sun Qiyi's movements, Shen Huai smiled and said, "I don't know if I have arranged to invite them, I just got off the plane and haven't contacted them yet......

Song Hongjun and Sun Qiyi organized the establishment of the Huaihai Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which has nearly 400 Hong Kong member companies, which should be the best co-organizer of this large-scale investment promotion activity organized by the provincial government, but some people don't want to let Meigang steal the limelight, not only the Huaihai Chinese Chamber of Commerce was not invited to be a co-organizer, Song Hongjun and Sun Qiyi were all excluded from the invitation list, Shen Huai wanted to be Xu Pei, Cao Zhengjiang and other people who specifically handled this event, what was the feeling in his heart at this time?
