Chapter 1759: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves
Yang Chenglin was very happy to learn that Bao Feiyang had introduced several large projects with a total investment of more than 10 billion, although he wanted to know the specific situation of these projects very much, but after hearing that Bao Feiyang had not rested much for many days in a row, and people had already snored at the venue, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Comrade Feiyang has worked hard, then let him have a good rest, and when he has rested, he will invite him to come to the city!"
Xiong Bihong hurriedly agreed, and faxed a few letters of intent to the municipal government office, Mayor Yang Chenglin got the faxed letter of intent to invest, probably after reading it, he couldn't help but applaud loudly: "Okay, if these projects are implemented, our steel industry in Pujiang City can also be compared with Kyoto!"
Pujiang's economic strength is leading in the country, but in the steel industry, due to resource constraints, it is not strong, unlike Kyoto has Jinggang Group, which is the largest steel plant in the country, and the output of several steel plants in Pujiang is only about the same as that of Jinggang, and there is a world of difference in strength.
What Yang Chenglin values is not how much foreign capital has been introduced into these projects, but that these projects are all related to steel, and they are seamless steel pipes, automotive steel and stainless steel, which are in short supply in China. The introduction of these projects, on the one hand, to fill the market shortage of corresponding products, and on the other hand, to form a synergistic agglomeration effect, in one fell swoop, let the steel industry in Pujiang City form a scale and a pattern, which is more significant than the introduction of ten projects with similar scales but belonging to different industries.
This is not a few projects with an output value of billions, but represents an industry of tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. More importantly, steel is known as the food of industry, and the development of the steel industry has also played a great role in driving other industries in Pujiang City.
Yang Chenglin closed the document, tapped his fingers on the table, muttered for a moment, then picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the phone number of Tang Xingbang, the head of the municipal party committee: "Secretary Tang, do you know the situation in Huixun District......?" I have just seen the fax from them, and Comrade Feiyang has really released a big satellite this time! I would like to discuss with you about these projects...... Okay, then I'll go over ......."
After making the call, Yang Chenglin took the documents and the thermos cup, got up and went to Tang Xingbang's office.
Tang Xingbang also knew the general situation and also attached great importance to it.
At the same time, the representative meeting of Huixun District is still ongoing. The district temporarily changed the agenda of the meeting, postponed the next agenda to the next day, and the rest of the time became a group discussion, the topic of discussion was the construction of a 10-million-ton steel base, and the joint hosting of the World Expo by Huixun District and Chundong New District.
Tens of millions of tons of steel means tens of billions of output value, which means at least 100,000 jobs, and the development of the related industrial chain driven by this is of great significance to Huixun District. Once this steel base is completed, Huixun District will leap from an industrial depression in Pujiang City to a strong industrial area.
"Pujiang itself is a big steel consumption city, and the Tianjiang River basin of Jiangnan Province, Huguang Province, and even Jiangbei Province are more economically developed provinces, the demand for steel is also very large, Tianjiang area lacks large-scale iron ore, coal mines, although there are several steel mills, but the scale of development in these years has been limited, the basin needs to buy a large number of steel, after the completion of our steel base in Huixun District, just the Tianjiang Basin, can digest most of the production capacity, not worry about the market ...... at all"
"Yes, the key is that the introduction of several projects, advanced technology, product types are also in short supply or insufficient production, need to be imported, once produced, can replace imports, compared with imported products, the price must be more competitive......"
"After the completion of the steel base, we can also vigorously develop the steel trade and steel processing industry around the upstream and downstream of steel, which is also a huge industrial ......"
Everyone's discussion is very warm, the prospect of the steel base is very optimistic, and some people even believe that Huixun District should build the steel and steel processing industry as the core industry, as long as this industry is done well, Huixun District is expected to take off......
Some people also mentioned that after the relocation of Pudong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Huixun District co-organized the World Expo with Chundong New Area, and took this opportunity to build a convention and exhibition business center and an international tourism area.
"Huixun District has rich tourism resources, in the future with the improvement of people's living standards, tourism as a kind of spiritual and cultural consumption, this demand will definitely be more and more, the state also encourages the development of tourism, in the Fourth Session of the Eighth National People's Congress adopted the "Ninth Five-Year Plan and 2010 Long-term Goals" In the tourism industry has been identified as the tertiary industry in the active development of the national economy emerging industry sequence in the first place, Pujiang City's planning also proposed, to build a strong tourism city in the 21st century, the tourism industry as a leading industry during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, the advantage of the industry and the new economic growth point to cultivate, and our Huixun District Binjiang Sea, has a lot of tourism resources, if developed, good operation, will certainly be able to become another pillar industry in Huixun District......"
The discussion in several venues was very lively, tens of millions of tons of steel base, world expo and international tourist resort ...... All these let everyone see the prospects for the development of Huixun District.
Soon someone mentioned: "The construction of 10 million tons of steel base makes it possible to relocate Pugang, so that Huixun District can bid for the World Expo, with the World Expo, the development of tourism in Huixun District has a starting point, so the introduction of several projects by the mayor of Bao District is of great significance, and it will move the whole body and open up a new development pattern of our Huixun District in one fell swoop......"
Originally, many delegates had doubts about Bao Feiyang, a young man, as the head of Huixun District, especially Bao Feiyang's failure to attend the representative meeting on time, which made everyone have a lot of opinions.
However, Bao Feiyang returned to China in time and brought back the letter of intent signed with several major iron and steel companies, so that the 10 million ton steel base project began to emerge, and realized the significance of this project to Huixun District, and everyone's view of Bao Feiyang suddenly changed 180 degrees.
In these years, the most important task for a place is to attract investment, and only by attracting investors and introducing investment can the local area develop. Bao Feiyang is indeed young, but at least he can attract funds and projects to help Huixun District develop.
In the heated discussion, everyone found that the significance of this 10 million tons of steel base project to Huixun District is indeed very significant, not only limited to a steel base, so they identify with Bao Feiyang more.
However, most of this recognition is still limited to attracting investment.
"Actually, although the head of the Bao District has not been in Huixun District for a long time, I have had contact with the head of the Bao District before......
A representative said: "At that time, the head of the Bao district had just taken office, and he came down to investigate, the research of the head of the Bao district was very distinctive, he brought two people, dressed very simply, I thought they were teachers in the university and brought two students to do the research, they did the research really deeply, and the head of the Bao district also gave us a lot of opinions!"
The representative shook his head with a smile and said, "It wasn't until I just met the head of Bao himself that I realized that it was the acting head of our Huixun District who went to my orchard to investigate that day. So I feel that although the head of Bao District is young, he is still willing to endure hardships and do things, and he will definitely be able to lead our Huixun District to new glory......"
"Yes, although I have not been in contact with the head of the Bao District before, but in order to introduce these steel projects, the total rest time of the head of the Bao District these days is less than ten hours, which is indeed very hard, and it is also for the development of our Huixun District, forgetting to sleep and eat, which is touching!" said another representative.
"Speaking of which, I know one more thing!"
Another representative said: "When there was a conflict in Beishazhou, in the face of the impact of hundreds of villagers in Tongbei City, it was the head of Bao District who stood at the forefront, showed his identity, and blocked those excited Tongbei people. If it weren't for the Bao District Mayor who took such a big risk to stop the Tongbei people that time, the villagers of our village would definitely suffer......"
Soon, some of the delegates spoke by example about their contact with Bao Feiyang. After discussion and exchange, everyone found that Bao Feiyang is not as everyone thinks, he has the shortcomings of young people such as frivolity, being ambitious, and not being able to endure hardships, on the contrary, in these aspects, Bao Feiyang is also very good.
Europe accounts for six of the world's top 10 steel companies, but European steel companies are not having a good time now. Especially after the '97 financial crisis, the stock price of European steel companies has been falling in recent years, and the stock price is now almost close to the price of 10 years ago, which means that although these companies have been trying to expand, the value has fallen to the ...... 10 years ago."
For example, his opinion on Bao Feiyang has gradually changed even more.
When Bao Feiyang woke up, it was already evening, and the day's meeting had ended.
The next day's meeting was carried out normally, and after the meeting of the day, Xiong Bihong and Bao Feiyang rushed to the city to report to Mayor Yang Chenglin.
"For example, the stock price of the famous European steel company Yousno has fallen by 40 percent in one year, and the market value of the Anglo-Dutch United Steel Group Cruise has decreased by more than 60 percent compared with its peak......"
"Corresponding to the shrinking demand in the steel market, global steel consumption in ninety-eight years was only 690 million tons, down 1.2% year-on-year, global steel trade volume decreased by 13 million tons compared with ninety-seven years, down as much as 8%, global crude steel output was 771 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 22.5 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 2.3%, including 225 billion tons in North America, 94 million tons in Japan, 40 million tons in South Korea, 77.11 million tons in the Commonwealth of Independent States, 161 million tons in the 15 countries of the European Union......"
