After the plane arrived in Yanjing, it was already dark at night, and Li Gu accompanied Tian Jiageng directly to the Huaihai Hotel to stay.

After going to the Central Committee Office for a meeting in the morning, Tian Jiageng called Vice Premier Wang Yuan to talk about work alone, and Tian Jiageng asked Li Gu to go back to the Huaihai Hotel first and wait for Shen Huai and them to come over.

Li Gu also went to Huaihai Hotel to contact Shen Huai again, and after half an hour, the staff brought Shen Huai, Xiong Wenbin, Chen Bing, Zhao Dong, Song Hongjun and others in.

Li Gu is quite familiar with the personnel relations in Donghua City, but there are not many people he has actually seen, and he is a little relieved to hear Shen Huai introduce the identities of Xiong Wenbin, Chen Bing, and Zhao Dong.

Although Shen Huai did not officially talk about the Xinpu project, he could know that Shen Huai's offer would not be too outrageous.

At eleven o'clock, Secretary Xiao Luo came over by phone and told him that Secretary Tian had set off from the State Council to return to the hotel.

Li Gu took his mobile phone to the next room to talk to Tian Jiageng on the phone, and reported to Tian Jiageng about Xiong Wenbin and Chen Bing accompanying Shen Huai to the hotel:

“…… Shen Huai is not very greedy. ”

Tian Jiageng didn't say anything on the phone, just smiled and said that he would return to the hotel soon.

The Xinpu project is very important to Huaihai Province, not to mention the development factors, the current situation is also obvious, the Ji side obviously will not mind the Xinpu project as the starting project of the Shanxi coal east out of the south line project to pull to the Ji River, so Huaihai Province should leave the Xinpu project behind, to avoid becoming a handle for political opponents to attack.

The only headache is that I am afraid that Shen Huai's conditions are too outrageous: Tan Qiping should be transferred from Donghua, but the key is that after Tan Qiping is transferred from Donghua, how to adjust the Donghua team is a difficult problem.

Shen Huai did not let Wu Haifeng accompany him, but asked Xiong Wenbin and Chen Bing to accompany him—in fact, he left a lot of room for everyone to come out: on the one hand, it would not make the province too ugly, and on the other hand, it would not squeeze out the interests of other factions in Donghua.

In addition to Wu Haifeng and Yang Yuquan, Xiong Wenbin, Chen Bing, or other Meigang officials in Donghua are only department-level officials.

Even if it is to ensure the implementation of the Xinpu project, it is much easier to accept the promotion of several Meigang officials in an exceptional manner, as long as they do not consider making an exception for Wu Haifeng, Yang Yuquan and others, and promoting Xiong Wenbin or Chen Bing.

Wu Haifeng, director of the Donghua Municipal People's Congress, stepped down from the position of secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, although it was not directly related to Tian Jiageng, but it was also a collective resolution made by the provincial party committee team before - if Wu Haifeng was allowed to return to the position of secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, it was not impossible in theory, but Tian Jiageng must still consider the overall prestige of the provincial party committee.

Yang Yuquan is now the deputy mayor, and the normal promotion is to enter the Standing Committee, if he is promoted to at least serve as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, this will make the space for the province to be able to do cāo become narrow, on the other hand, the traces of the provincial party committee to the Xinpu project and Mei Gang leading the nose are too obvious, and it is obviously difficult for all parties to accept it easily.

From this point of view, Shen Huai still knows some sense of proportion under his aggressive appearance, and as for whether this is an arrangement after the Song family weighs it, Li Gu doesn't know.

Shut down

"The British government's post-war monetary policy has been strengthening and maintaining the strong position of the pound in the international monetary system, which has benefited the British financial capital, while the British domestic manufacturing industry has been trapped in the decline of export trade, and it has always been difficult to revive, and the domestic market has long been saturated, and there is no room for further development. Affected by multiple factors, the trend of de-industrialization of British manufacturing enterprises in the country is getting faster and faster. It was in this context that the construction of the second plant of Meigang was carried out, and it was in this context that Siomins Industries needed to eliminate its steel plant in Birmingham......"

Tian Jiageng made a temporary appointment to meet in Yanjing, naturally to learn more about the details of the Xinpu project for consideration. When Tian Jiageng returned to the hotel from the State Council and the necessary greetings passed, Shen Huai went straight to the point and went directly to the topic, introducing the background of the start of the Xinpu project," ...... Due to the small share of the Birmingham Iron and Steel Plant in the West Youmingswen Industrial Group, after the abolition of the Birmingham Iron and Steel Plant, the decline of the West Youmings Industrial Group in the local manufacturing industry has not been significantly improved, especially in the crude steel smelting business, the loss of the previous year and last year is very large - on the one hand, it is due to monetary reasons, on the other hand, it is the problem of industrial layout, and on the other hand, it is the problem of labor and environmental costs. Due to a number of factors, the West Ummins Industrial Group has long considered moving part of its basic industry overseas. It is also a problem of British monetary policy, which makes the export of industrial capital in the UK not dominant, and the relatively conservative corporate culture and unfamiliarity with the markets of emerging countries have caused British companies to expand their industries overseas far less quickly than Japanese and South Korean companies. However, it is also the previous cooperation that laid a certain foundation, as well as the construction results of Meigang No. 2 Plant, which made Meigang win the trust of West Youmins Industrial Group. At the end of last year, Butler, senior vice president of West Ommins Industrial Group, visited Meixi, and the two sides began to explore the possibility of joint venture construction of large-scale steel projects in China. ”

"Considering the overall relocation of the 1.8 million tons of full-process blast furnace steelmaking line of the Liverpool Iron and Steel Plant of West Ullium Industrial Group to Xinpu, or outside the coastal cities with the same geographical conditions as Xinpu, the new production capacity of technical transformation is 1.2 million tons, and the overall design capacity of the first phase of the Xinpu Iron and Steel Plant is preliminarily determined to be 3 million tons. Including supporting projects such as material handling ports, the investment of the entire first phase of the project is about 4 billion. Among them, the 3,000 acres of industrial land and port resources required for the construction of the project are converted into about 1.2 billion yuan, which is 30% of the shares, and the remaining 70% of the shares are jointly injected by the relevant parties with foreign exchange or RMB funds equivalent to 2.8 billion yuan. In terms of funding, the results of the preliminary negotiations are that West Omins Industrial Group and Feiqi Industrial Group will provide an additional 60 million pounds of funds, Business Credit Bank will provide Meigang with a project loan of 600 million yuan, and Zhongxin Investment, Hongji Investment, and Zhujiang Investment will also have about 80 million US dollars in additional preliminary negotiated financing, and there is probably a funding gap of less than 1 billion yuan at this time. Huaineng will no longer provide additional construction funds to the Xinpu Steel Mill, but will invest no less than one billion people in the construction of large-scale thermal power plant projects for the steel mill, port and port-supporting industrial park, which has already received US$200 million in bond financing from Berkeley Bank and BNP Paribas......

"After the completion of the project, the mining department of West Youmins Industrial Group will be responsible for providing the required iron ore to Xinpu Iron and Steel from Australia and India, and the Huaineng Group will be responsible for providing the coal resources required for production from China - about one-third of the crude steel billets, plates and wire rods produced will be directly supplied to the manufacturing enterprises under the West Youmins Industrial Group, and the rest will mainly be sold in the domestic market, or directly consider introducing a large number of steel deep processing enterprises in the project location......

Listening to Shen Huai's well-informed introduction to the specific situation of the Xinpu Steel Mill project, Li Gu was also full of emotion in his heart:

There has never been love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason.

When it comes to management, technology and human resources, Li Gu believes that Provincial Steel is much thicker than Meigang, and Meigang is nothing more than stepping on the steel corpse in Donghua City to grow and rise - but Shen Huai relied on his achievements in leading Meigang step by step to win the trust of industrial giants such as West Youmins Industrial Group and Feiqi Industry, but Provincial Steel and Municipal Steel had no way to do this.

Regardless of the follow-up development of the port industry, the investment in the first phase of the Xinpu Steel Mill project alone plus the supporting ports and the thermal power plant wholly owned by the Huaineng Group will be about 5 billion yuan, and the direct introduction of foreign capital will exceed 400 million US dollars - how can Huaihai Province let this project slip through the fingers?

Of course, the Xinpu project has not yet been officially approved, and everything is full of variables - since the contradiction between Meigang and Tan Qiping, the secretary of the municipal party committee, is so deep, in order to allow the project to finally settle in Donghua, the province will transfer Tan Qiping out of Donghua to open the way for the new project, and even provide some other necessary conditions, which cannot be regarded as excessive.

Tian Jiageng asked some questions in detail about the site selection of the project.

Shen Huai said: "Chen Bing worked in Xiapu, and he single-handedly promoted the early survey and planning work of Xinpu Port and the establishment of the Xinpu Development Zone during his tenure in Xiapu. On the issue of project site selection, Chen Bing has the most right to speak. ”

Tian Jiageng nodded at Chen Bing and motioned for him to introduce the site selection of the project.

Li Gu also looked at Chen Bing, who was also the general manager of Donghua Beijing Investment Group and the director of the city in Beijing, he had not been in contact with Chen Bing before, but he knew that Donghua Beijing Investment Group was established after absorbing the assets of Donghua Beijing Office and the assets of municipal enterprises such as the city forging plant, and mainly participated in the joint venture project of Huailian Heavy Industry. Although BIIC is wholly owned by the Donghua municipal government, Chen Bing is also a member of the Meigang family because of the early debt agreement of the city's forging plant, its participation in the Huailian heavy industry project, and the relationship between the deputy mayor Yang Yuquan and the deputy mayor.

Li Gu knew that Chen Bing had served as the county magistrate in Xiapu County, but he did not expect that he had promoted the construction of Xinpu Port and Xinpu Development Zone, and thought to himself, no wonder Shen Huai was able to hide from Tan Qiping and quietly prepare for the Xinpu Steel Mill project.

Even if Shen Huai looks sharp and aggressive, compared with his achievements in integrating local forces, Tan Qiping, who has worked in the political work system for so many years, is much inferior - the difference behind this may be really as Secretary Tian said, one can lead others to create a new pattern, and the other can only move in the old pattern, and suddenly there is a difference between high and low.

"Donghua is bordered by the river and the sea, and the geographical conditions are superior, but it has not been fully developed. The existing seaports in Xiapu County are also due to the traditional fishing ports formed in the course of history, which are very small in scale and have almost no large-scale industries. When Xiapu County set up the development zone in 87 years, it mainly considered connecting with the old city and building an industrial park in the south of the city; at the same time, it also considered developing the seaport and port industry, but due to the lack of funds, the industrial supporting facilities were seriously insufficient, and it was unable to pull in any large industrial projects. However, in terms of the natural resources of Sinpo Port, the coastal terrain is open and intact, and the land resources can be used for large-scale industrial projects. Although the planned area of the Xinpu Development Zone was only 10 square kilometers in the early days, it did not occupy the cultivated land on the outside, and the coastline could be extended to the outside by blowing sand and reclamation, and tens of thousands of acres of new land were created every year for the construction of industrial projects. Dozens of kilometers of coastline have excellent deep-water channels that can be directly entered by large ships of more than 30,000 tons, which can ensure the annual throughput of the seaport supporting the construction of the first phase of the Xinpu Steel Mill project to reach 10 million tons. In the later stage, through the dredging channel, it can even directly build a deep-water port of more than 100,000 tons on the island three to five kilometers offshore, providing a broader development prospect for Xinpu Steel Mill and Xinpu industry in the later stage. ”
