Chapter 1002: Guo Chengze's Reflections

The delicate situation between the Ji Jing Department and the Hu Department, except for a few people such as Guo Chengze, many people will not bother with more thoughts.

Take Feng Zhichu, secretary general of the Donghua Municipal Government, as an example, in addition to being more cautious than before, he does not have too much worry about the future. Whether Xu Pei can successfully serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee, the pressure will not be passed on to him.

At this time, he prefers to be the number one leader in the district and county, which only depends on whether Guo Chengze and Meng Jiansheng support him in Donghua enough.

Of course, Feng Zhichu also knew that even if Shen Huai was transferred out of Donghua, his influence on Donghua was still deep-rooted, and no one else could shake it, so whether he could go to the important districts and counties of Donghua to serve as a leader could not ignore Shen Huai's potential influence.

As secretary general of the city government and the host of the mobilization meeting, Feng Zhichu became active, talked about a lot of topics about economic development, emphasized the great significance of Meigang to the development of Donghua and Huaihai Bay on many occasions, and also looked forward to strengthening the "party school friendship" with Shen Huai.

Guo Chengze still knew Feng Zhichu's careful thoughts, but he didn't care either, and now the situation has suddenly become delicate, and the Department of Economics and Economics needs Mei Gang to stand on the same front with them.

Xu Pei hoped that he would take the initiative to win over Shen Huai, Song Hongjun and others, but he was somewhat unable to let go of his hands and feet, Feng Zhichu could take the initiative, objectively it could be regarded as a disturbance for him, and the longer he served in Donghua, the more he could feel the depth of Meigang's roots in Donghua, and the strong promotion of the Huaihai Bay economy, Shen Huai's strength was far more than his arrogance.

It is the winter season of another year, and this year's major economic data can almost be estimated, and even if Donghua City's GDP cannot exceed 100 billion yuan this year, the gap is only a millimeter.

In addition to surpassing Xucheng in terms of economic scale as a whole, it is also among the top ten in so many prefecture-level cities in the country, and it is hard to imagine that Donghua six years ago was still a place with lagging development and only at the middle and lower level of prefecture-level cities in the country.

However, Donghua's economic development is extremely unbalanced, and the Meixi-Xinpu industrial belt, which covers a total area of less than one-tenth of Donghua City, concentrates more than 60% of Donghua's GDP.

The total amount of finance and taxation in Donghua this year is likely to exceed 11 billion, but the total fiscal and tax of Tangzha and Xiapu, which are directly radiated by the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Zone, will exceed 8 billion, and the development of Xicheng and Xinjin will be better, and the sum of the fiscal and tax revenues of the two places will be less than 2 billion.

In the past few years, the number of wholly foreign-owned and joint venture projects in Donghua has surged, reaching as many as 1,000, accounting for half of the total number of wholly foreign-owned and joint venture projects in the province in terms of overall scale and quantity.

Wholly foreign-owned and joint venture projects have a five-year tax reduction period, so the fiscal and tax advantages and potential of the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt have not yet been fully developed - especially for the corporate income tax with the largest local fiscal gain, most of which have not yet begun to be collected.

Even if there is no new progress in the industrial development of the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Zone, with the end of the tax reduction period for many wholly foreign-owned enterprises and joint ventures, the total fiscal and tax revenue can gradually increase to the level of 12 billion yuan or even higher.

Obviously, the industrial development of the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt will not stop there.

With the construction of the Xudong Railway double-track transformation, the Lanjiang Expressway and the bridge across the Zhujiang River, and the eastern extension of the Xudong Expressway, and the declaration to become a national economic development zone and a first-class port, the advantages of the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt in occupying the core position of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone will become more and more prominent.

In order to expand the needs of refining, steel, shipbuilding, heavy industry and other industries and the development of Xinpu Port itself, the newly submitted Xinpu Port Reclamation Project Plan is to fill in 200 square kilometers of construction land to the east in the next ten years - the investment in reclamation and port projects alone will exceed 50 billion yuan in the future.

The reclamation project in the area east of Sinpu Iron and Steel has been carried out in full swing, and the second phase of Xinpu Iron and Steel with a steelmaking capacity of 6 million tons has been approved, and the construction will officially start after the year.

Fan Wenzhi succeeded Chen Baoqi as secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, and even though he was the most core and important representative of the Rongxin system in Donghua officialdom, he had to recognize the core position of Meixi-Xinpu, and repositioned the two areas of Xicheng and Xinjin, which were previously the focus of the Rongxin Department, as the two wings of the Meixi-Xinpu District.

The adjustment of the corresponding plan is only to extend the industrial development advantages formed by Meixi-Xinpu to the two wings as much as possible, and no longer to suppress the development of Meixi-Xinpu in vain.

After Fan Wenzhi replaced Chen Baoqi, the strategic adjustment of Rongxin's department in Donghua can only be regarded as knowing the current affairs.

The steel industry has become a pillar industry not only in Donghua City, but also in the whole province.

After the completion of the second phase of Xinpu Iron and Steel, the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Zone will concentrate nearly 60% of the province's steelmaking capacity and nearly 14 million tons, plus the relevant upstream and downstream industrial chains, the total output value will be almost the same if it cannot exceed 100 billion.

Breaking away from Meigang and without the approval and support of Shen Huai, Chen Weili proposed the concept of developing "100 billion advantageous industries" in the city, which is a joke in the final analysis.

It has been two years since the completion and operation of Xinpu Refining & Chemical, and although the operation of Xinpu Refining & Chemical does not need to be explained to the local government, the cumulative tax paid by Xinpu Refining & Chemical has not been in arrears so far, which also makes people understand that the operation of this project is good.

As the construction date of the second phase of the Xinpu Iron and Steel project is approaching, the province and Donghua City have deep expectations for when the construction of the second phase of the Xinpu Refining & Chemical project will be launched.

Although Meigang has not yet submitted the final application documents, everyone can know that the second phase of the Xinpu refining project between Meigang and CNOOC has entered the preparatory stage, and several public project demonstration meetings have been held.

Due to the lack of construction funds, the first phase of Xinpu Refining & Chemical can only be regarded as a half-section integration, and the production capacity of chemical intermediate raw materials has not been fully utilized - and in the public information, the second phase of Xinpu Refining & Chemical will make up for this shortcoming, which means that the refining capacity of the second phase of the project will not increase, but the investment and economic benefits will be doubled.

The doubling of investment means that the investment in the second phase of Xinpu Refining & Chemical will exceed 10 billion.

Meigang shares listed as a whole, raising 3 billion funds, for the second phase of Xinpu Iron and Steel to raise enough construction funds (steel project construction, self-provided funds only need to reach 40%), although I don't know how Shen Huai plans to prepare tens of billions of construction funds for the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical, but seeing the development trajectory of Meigang over the years, Meigang has such a heavyweight partner in the refining and chemical project as CNOOC, no one will think that the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical will drag on for how long to get started.

Guo Chengze sometimes thinks about it and feels strange, how could Song Qiaosheng want to exclude such a powerful nephew from the core of the Song family, is it purely out of selfishness that he will support his son?

If Meigang and Huai Neng can better integrate, rather than separate, the industrial scale that Meigang can control in the future, steelmaking capacity of more than 10 million tons, refining and chemical production capacity of more than 10 million tons, power generation capacity of more than 10 million kilowatts, plus business credit bank and other industries, what kind of scale will it be?

As long as you think about the network of resources and relationship chains extended by the entire industrial cluster, not to mention that the Song family will grab one Politburo member seat in the future, it is not impossible to grab two or three, and even compete for a place in the central leadership group.

The Hung Kai Industrial Investment Fund, which is controlled by Song Hongjun, has not yet exceeded US$2 billion in terms of public information.

In terms of scale, Hongji is far from being able to compare with Baohe Group, which controls nearly 200 billion assets of the Gu family, but the Gu family has a strong desire to control, although it has nearly ten listed companies, large and small, the direct influence is mainly reflected in the control of Baohe listed companies, and the indirect impact on Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong is more of the prestige formed by the Gu family over the decades.

Hongji Industrial Investment Fund gathers more capital from small and medium-sized investors in Hong Kong.

The development of Meigang, the rapid growth, high dividends and high profit expectations of Hongji Industrial Investment Fund, as well as Song Hongjun's active promotion and introduction of Hong Kong enterprises and investment institutions to invest in Donghua in recent years, have actually won Song Hongjun a lot of prestige among the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong.

In particular, in this investment promotion activity, most of the Hong Kong investors who will officially sign up to invest in Huaihai are more or less influenced by Song Hongjun and Mei Gang; otherwise, Governor Xu would not have been so awkward and respectful to let him find a way to invite Song Hongjun to attend this investment promotion activity.

Guo Chengze originally thought that there would be twists and turns in asking Feng Zhichu to invite Shen Huai and Song Hongjun to come over to participate in the investment mobilization meeting here, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, Shen Huai and Song Hongjun's posture was quite humble, and the worries in his heart became more and more serious.

Shen Huai and Song Hongjun didn't take it at all, in the final analysis, they were trying to win Governor Xu's support for the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company and promote the construction of a university science and technology park - although this was very conducive to Governor Xu's resistance to Cui Weiping's strong advance, the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company, no matter how aggravated Shen Huai's reshaping of the provincial state-owned assets system, was deeply marked with the indelible brand of Meigang within the provincial state-owned assets system.

Although Secretary Zhong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Governor Xu now support Shen Huai's seizure of power in the restructuring and reorganization of provincial state-owned enterprises, this power is given by the system.

Even if Shen Huai can promote and appoint some people at this time, these people are scattered; once Shen Huai is transferred out in the future, Shen Huai can only maintain a certain amount of influence within the provincial state-owned assets system.

In particular, the provincial state-owned assets system is in a situation of many mountains, and as time passes, Shen Huai's influence will be rapidly weakened after his transfer, or only within a limited number of provincial enterprises.

Once the provincial state-owned assets management company is established, Shen Huai will be able to gather the people he has promoted and appointed within the provincial state-owned assets system into a strict system - and under the framework of the provincial state-owned assets management company, if Shen Huai achieves great success in reshaping the provincial state-owned assets system, it is really difficult to imagine that the penetration of the Meigang system into Huaihai Province will be deep in the future.
