Zhou Kunlin also supported Puhua Group and Pujiang Coking to participate in the construction of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park. After all, the planning of Tianjiang Park has been adopted, and the industrial pattern of steel and coal integration has been determined, and in the coal chemical industry, Pujiang City is only Pujiang Coking in the larger scale, but the relationship between Puhua Group and Tianjiang Park is very tense, and when the city solicits the opinions of Puhua Group, Puhua Group has no intention of cooperating with Tianjiang Park at all, and Tianjiang Park has not considered cooperating with Pujiang Coking from the beginning, after all, they have introduced ThyssenKrupp's technology, which is more advanced than Pujiang Coking, and because of the contradiction in the planning of the park, everyone deliberately ignores the possibility of Pujiang Coking participating in the Xinpugang Coking Project, not to mention the Fangxia coalification project.

However, it is not too late to put forward now, the coking project and the coal project have just started, and the addition of Pujiang coking can also promote the construction progress of the project and improve the speed of completion and production.

Zhou Kunlin nodded and said: "It is very good that Puhua Group and Pujiang Coking have made the decision to actively participate in the construction of Tianjiang Steel and Coal Industrial Park, I believe that this matter is beneficial to all parties, and it is also very important for the development of Pujiang Coking and Puhua Group, and the city also supports you." ”

"However, the city's current funds are also very tight, and the city's investment in the Tianjiang Park is planned, and it is unrealistic to change the plan now, which means that the city cannot allocate funds to you in the name of investing in the Tianjiang Park, and if you want to invest, you can only use other methods. ”

Zhou Kunlin said: "Of course, it is not easy for the city to give you direct financial support, but if you carry out financing, the city can provide a certain degree of support." ”

Zhao Changbo immediately understood what Zhou Kunlin meant, in fact, it was similar to the original treatment of Xinpu Steel, the city could not directly allocate funds, but it could help Pujiang Coking to apply for loans, or through other methods of financing, financing methods are not only loans, there are many ways.

Zhao Changbo pondered for a while and said: "Pujiang Coking has previously made a loan for the methanol project, and now half of the loan has been repaid, and the methanol project has been put into production, and this part of the assets can be taken out for mortgages." But ......"

Zhao Changbo said: "Pujiang Coking is talking about a joint venture industrial gas project, which is basically nearing the end, and it is also planned to be completed in southern Henan, which is the first step for Pujiang Coking to implement the strategy of going out, and these investment projects all need money, if the asset-liability ratio is too high, if you want to finance in the future, I am afraid it will not be easy to do!"

"You, you......"

Among the leaders of the municipal government, Zhou Kunlin is known for being a good talker. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhao Changbo and nodded: "What, you work so hard, are you preparing to support you?"

Zhao Changbo hurriedly smiled: "I can't talk about it, but after all, I have worked in Pujiang Coking, and I still hope that they will be able to develop better." ”

Zhou Kunlin nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, but you also know the situation in the city, not to mention that the financial funds are limited, even the monetary base is relatively tight, and the loan amount is also limited, not that I can give you as much as I want!"

Zhou Kunlin said: "In fact, in addition to bank loans, you can also finance in other ways, such as Fangxia Group has set up a new material industry development fund in Tianjiang Park, which is open to enterprises in the park and can provide low-interest loans and venture capital, and has prepared one billion yuan in the first phase." ”

Zhao Changbo couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Kunlin nodded: "Yes, but it has not been announced to the public, which was proposed by Song Qingchen, general manager of Fangxia New Materials Pujiang Company, when he visited Mayor Yang yesterday, with the purpose of supporting small and medium-sized start-ups and forming a new material industry group with Fangxia New Materials as the core." ”

"That's a big deal!"

Zhao Changbo couldn't help but sigh loudly, Jingshan Chemical Industry Park also has a development plan for the new material industry, but the development focus is on the large chemical industry, and the strategy is to introduce international giants, but Zhao Changbo knew that the industrial fund launched by Fangxia New Materials is very powerful, although the real giants do not look down on this fund, but the new material industry covers a very wide range, and some materials have a very large market, but there are also many modified materials The amount is not large, and large enterprises do not look down on this amount, and often disdain to carry out research and development and production alone, which leaves many small factories with opportunities for development。

Maybe a BASF technician will master a certain technology and start his own business and set up a small factory to make a certain modified material. For giants like BASF, they are also happy to license these unimportant technologies. Of course, it is more likely that a certain technician has more experience in a certain modified material and directly jumps out to do R&D and entrepreneurship.

For such small businesses and start-ups, the biggest problem may not be technology, but capital, and the fund set up by Fangxia New Materials is specifically aimed at this problem. They can lend to certain small businesses or start-ups that have mastered a certain new material technology, or directly invest in supporting the development of these small businesses and start-ups, so that they can attract a large number of small businesses and start-ups to settle in.

This model is not uncommon now, for example, Chunjiang High-tech Zone has a special industrial incubation fund, the park government and Chundong New Area also have some project funds, as well as the Internet industry's more popular venture capital, all of which support start-up projects and small businesses.

However, this method is not used much in China, that is, several first-tier cities have formed a certain scale, and the government still focuses on policy incentives for investment promotion, after all, the government's finances are also relatively tight.

Zhao Changbo nodded and said: "With this support fund, Tianjiang Park should be able to attract some start-ups and medium-sized companies to gather a number of companies in the field of new materials." However, Pujiang Coking's participation in coking and coal projects may not be within the scope of support of this fund. ”

Zhou Kunlin smiled and said: "This depends on how Fang Xia's side identifies it, their support for the park is still very strong, and it is not limited to this fund." ”

There are some situations, Zhou Kunlin knows, but there is no need to tell Zhao Changbo too clearly. Zhou Kunlin knows the relationship between Fangxia Group and Bao Feiyang, which is actually not a secret, and Bao Feiyang's relevant information has been recorded in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, Bao Feiyang's situation is somewhat special, and the level of secrecy in some situations is relatively high, and the leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government naturally know these situations, but Zhao Changbo's level is not enough.

There are a lot of rumors about Bao Feiyang in Pujiang officialdom, and Zhao Changbo has also heard that this Fangxia Group has a close relationship with Bao Feiyang, but he is not very clear about the specific situation. However, Zhou Kunlin said so, and he still planned to give it a try.

Zhao Changbo really wanted to arrange some things for Puhua Group and Pujiang Coking before he left Puhua Group and went to work in the city. After running around the city, he originally planned to study it first and then make a decision, but now he has firmly established the idea of involving Pujiang Coking.

Zhao Changbo can judge from various signs that the situation in Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Park is completely different from that of Jingshan Chemical Industry Park, which is very short of money, so it is necessary to introduce Bayer and BASF, but in order to introduce these chemical giants, the city and Puhua Group have paid a very large price, including a series of supporting facilities construction, preferential policies and supporting project construction.

The situation of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Park is different, the core industry of Tianjiang Industrial Park is steel and new materials, and the core of the steel industry is the 10 million ton long-process steelmaking project of Xinpu Iron and Steel. Pohang and other foreign-funded projects are also in the deep processing of 10 million tons of steelmaking projects on the basis of deep processing, and the core of the new material industry is the coal-based chemical industry of Fangxia new materials, the city has a higher degree of control over the construction of the park, and the project construction speed is also very fast, in contrast, although Jingshan Chemical Industry Park has begun preliminary work, and the refining and chemical project of Pujiang Petrochemical has also begun construction, but the negotiations with BASF, Bayer and other chemical giants are still ongoing, and the difficulty of negotiation is very large.

According to the situation learned in the past two days, Zhao Changbo found that although Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park has not been able to get much financial allocation from the government, they do not seem to be short of money, except for a few joint venture projects, Fangxia Group has played a very big role in it, and they have invested a lot in the park.

But no matter what, Tianjiang Park is now a construction scene in full swing, and the prospects are very promising. In contrast, Zhao Changbo believes that it is still necessary for Pujiang Coking to participate in it, as for the construction of another olefin project in Jianghang or Jingshan, not to mention that the investment may be larger, the construction period is longer, the return on investment is lower, and it is almost certainly impossible to surpass the scale and technical level of Fangxia Coal Chemical, and it is not cost-effective to invest in such a project.

After Zhao Changbo made a decision, he called Bao Feiyang again: "District Mayor Bao, let's discuss what you said that day when we come back, I am very optimistic about the development of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Park, and Puhua Group and Pujiang Coking are also willing to participate in the construction of the park." However, there are still some questions about the way to participate and the specific details, and I would like to ask you again in person when the package is long......"

"You don't have to ask for advice!"

Bao Feiyang smiled and said, he heard a lot of positive information from Zhao Changbo's words: "Tianjiang Park very much welcomes Puhua Group and Pujiang Coking to participate, I am here in the park now, if Mr. Zhao is free now, we will meet here in the park, and Mr. Zhao can also take a look at the construction of the park on the spot!"

Zhao Changbo didn't expect Bao Feiyang to be so resolute, he took a look at the schedule and decided to meet Bao Feiyang now.
