The entrance of Jiaohe Coal Co., Ltd. is spotless, the gate is a flower wall made of flower pots on both sides, and a big red banner hangs on the office building in the courtyard: "Warmly welcome Mayor Zhucheng to come and guide the work!" Wang Weiliang led dozens of people to greet him at the door.

"It's coming, it's coming!" I saw a team of cars approaching us.

Wang Weiliang stepped forward and held Zhu Cheng's hand tightly, "Warmly welcome Mayor Zhu to inspect and guide the work!"

Zhu Cheng is full of spring, "Liang, you have done a good job in the past few years, and your achievements are obvious to all, I will learn from them." ”

Wang Weiliang led the group into the office building. The electronic screen shows - "building a modern enterprise and casting a century-old brand". The group walked into the exhibition hall, in front of the company's sand table model, Wang Weiliang pointed to a place and introduced: "This is an aluminum sulfate plant built two years ago, and now it has reached an annual output of 100,000 tons. The plant monopolizes the aluminum sulfate market on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and has occupied 30% of the domestic market, exporting to South Korea, Malaysia and European countries. The raw materials in the factory are obtained from the mine, the cost is very low, and the annual net profit is more than 18 million yuan since the establishment of the factory. ”

Wang Weiliang pointed to another place, "This is a thermal power plant that has just been built, with an installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts. Theoretically speaking, it can generate 1 million kWh of electricity in one hour and 24 million kWh in a day, which can fully meet the power demand of Jiaohe and its surrounding counties and cities. In the context of the development of circular economy, we pay more attention to the impact of thermal power generation on the environment, we have introduced the world's most advanced electron beam desulfurization process, and the exhaust gas emissions have fully met the national safety standards. ”

Wang Weiliang pointed to a green open space on the sand table and said: "This is the construction area in the next few years, one is to build a thermal power plant to collect the heat energy generated in thermal power generation, and in the future, the heating problem of Jiaohe can be solved by our factory, and the other is to plan the construction of a cement brick factory." The main material of traditional red bricks is cohesive soil, and firing solid red bricks will damage the ecological environment. The cement bricks we want to manufacture are made of fly ash, cinder, coal gangue, tailings slag as raw materials, in the past, fly ash, cinder, these things were thrown away as garbage, now, these are our treasures. Our goal is to turn waste into treasure and be ecologically friendly. ”

Mayor Zhu listened to Wang Weiliang's introduction, nodded frequently, and said: "Coal enterprises are the key areas of energy conservation and pollutant emission reduction. We want not only gold and silver, but also green waters and green mountains. I came this time to understand the status of the implementation of the scientific concept of development by enterprises. I am very interested in the electron beam desulfurization process you just mentioned, so let's take a look. ”

Wang Weiliang led everyone to the thermal power plant. I saw a silver-gray cylindrical device standing impressively, with some irregular extensions at both ends of the device, some abruptly connected tubes, and a towering chimney behind it.

Wang Weiliang gestured to the tall equipment, "There are five main processes in the electron beam desulfurization process. The flue gas is coarsely filtered by the dust collector and enters the cooling tower, and the cooled flue gas flows into the reactor, and the ammonia and compressed air are sprayed into the reactor, and after being irradiated by the electron beam, the SO2 and NO2 in the flue gas are neutralized with ammonia under the action of free radicals to generate chemical fertilizer. The floating powdery particles are captured by the dust collector and the purified flue gas is discharged into the atmosphere. This method is currently the most widely used and largest desulfurization method in the world, with a desulfurization efficiency of more than 95%. Wang Weiliang pointed to the equipment and introduced the process one by one. I wish the mayor a good listen.

I wish the mayor and his entourage to change into uniforms, put on hard hats, and go deep into the mine. Zhu Mayor shook hands with the workers cordially, "Safety responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai, we must firmly establish safety awareness, and put safety production in the first place." "We must implement the system of mine managers going into the mine and strive to enhance the sense of responsibility. ”

After that, Mayor Zhu attended the unveiling ceremony of Jiaohe Energy Group.

Wang Weiliang first delivered a speech: "Dear mayor, leaders and comrades: Carrying the joy of golden autumn and bathing in the warm sunshine, we hold the unveiling ceremony of 'Jiaohe Energy Group' here with new visions and hopes. Here, on behalf of all the staff of Jiaohe Energy Group, I would like to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders and guests!"

Subsequently, Zhu Cheng delivered a speech: "First of all, I would like to express my warm congratulations on the establishment of Jiaohe Energy Group! As the earliest enterprise in Jiaohe City to be successfully restructured, Jiaohe Energy Group must continue to seize the historical opportunity, accelerate the pace of structural adjustment, constantly cultivate new economic growth points, continuously improve social and economic benefits, and truly realize 'the increase of national taxes, enterprise profits, and shareholders' income." I firmly believe that under the leadership of Chairman Wang Weiliang, Jiaohe Energy Group will make greater achievements!"

Afterwards, everyone took a group photo.

In the lounge, Wang Weiliang said to Zhu Cheng: "I hope Mayor Zhu can give us a word and leave some ink treasures." ”

Zhu Cheng pretended to be modest and said: "Chairman Wang is not only an entrepreneur, but also a poet and calligrapher, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Where can I be ugly in front of you, isn't that the martial arts sword in front of Guan Gongmen?"

Wang Weiliang said: "I have carved insect tricks, and your calligraphy is a thousand words!"

Zhu Cheng laughed.

So, come up with pen and ink.

Zhu Cheng splashed eight big words: "A hundred feet ahead, go further." "The words are flying and the phoenix are dancing, strong and powerful.

Everyone applauded in unison.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the company held a meeting of middle-level and above cadres. Wang Weiliang first made a brief opening remarks. He said: "Today, Mayor Zhu came to the company to inspect and guide the work, which is a great honor for all employees of the company! Just now, Mayor Zhu personally attended the unveiling ceremony of Jiaohe Energy Group, and we feel deeply encouraged. Please express your heartfelt thanks to Mayor Zhu for his support with warm applause!"

The scene burst into warm applause.

Wang Weiliang continued: "Our goal is to build a '10 billion enterprise' and a '100-year enterprise'. At present, it is the most critical period for the company's development. I wish the mayor great concern for the development of the company and high hopes for the newly established Jiaohe Energy Group. 'The train runs fast because of the headband. Now, let us welcome Mayor Zhu to give us a guiding speech with warm applause!"

The audience applauded warmly.

Zhu Cheng said: "Over the years, all employees of Jiaohe Energy Group have been united, diligent and enterprising, and have achieved very remarkable results. In the future work, Jiaohe Energy Group should pay close attention to establishing and improving the modern enterprise management system, broaden investment and financing channels, and explore a scientific operation model. Jiaohe Municipal People's Government will, as always, act as a strong backing for the development of the enterprise!"

The scene burst into warm applause.

Wang Weiliang concluded: "I wish the mayor just made a speech that is of great guiding significance for our work. We must study, comprehend, and implement well the important spirit of Mayor Zhu's speech, and never let down Mayor Zhu's ardent expectations!"

The inspection was successfully concluded, and Wang Weiliang and other group leaders sent off the mayor to leave. Before Zhu Cheng got into the car, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to Wang Weiliang and said, "Chairman Wang, let's say a few words here." ”

Thinking that the mayor was going to explain his work alone, the entourage consciously flashed to the side of the road.

Zhu Cheng asked with a smile: "Bingliang, are you free on the weekend?"

"Available. ”

Zhu Cheng smiled mysteriously, "Shuangzhu Mountain, see you or leave." ”

Zhu Mayor shook hands with the people who saw him off one by one, and after getting into the car, he waved goodbye.

Wang Weiliang has been pondering, Zhu Cheng must have something in his heart. Shuangzhu Mountain is a place to play golf, is Zhu Cheng just asking me to play golf together? Zhu Cheng's mysterious smile made Wang Weiliang faintly feel that he was doing some kind of calculation.

In the evening of the same day, Jiaohe TV reported Mayor Zhu's inspection activities, "This morning, Comrade Zhu Cheng, Mayor of Jiaohe City, and his party of more than 20 people visited Jiaohe Energy Group to inspect and guide the work. Wang Weiliang introduced the group's main business and future development direction to the city leaders. After listening to the report, Mayor Zhu Cheng fully affirmed the development achievements of Jiaohe Energy Group, fully affirmed the development plan, business model and working atmosphere of Jiaohe Energy Group, and hoped that Jiaohe Energy Group would take the name change as an opportunity to continue to grow bigger and stronger, and further promote the modernization process of Jiaohe City's energy industry. ”

Su Hong looked at the news report and said to Wang Weiliang: "You are so handsome on TV!"

"Really, what about me in front of me, handsome?"

Su Hong smiled and said, "Old handsome!"

Wang Weiliang touched his head, "It's not the old handsome, it's the old man." When I was young, I didn't look worse than Chow Yun-fat, but now I can't, you see me, I have gray hair. ”

Su Hong walked around behind Wang Weiliang and helped Wang Weiliang knead his shoulders. "I used to be a handsome guy, but now I'm a handsome guy. By the way, now that the company has changed its name and established a group, has your subordinates also changed the name of you? Is it not called the chairman now? I see that some leaders on TV are called presidents, chairman and president, which official is big?"

Wang Weiliang smiled, "I am still the chairman, and I have rejected the titles of president and CEO one by one." The title is a code name, in fact, it doesn't matter what it is called, it is the most important thing to do a good job. People of my age don't want to be famous. ”

Wang Weiliang looked at himself on TV and asked Su Hong: "Do you think I still look like a character?"

Su Hong said: "It's not just like a character, you're not a big man in our place." Ever since I followed you, some people have said that I am a sugar daddy and climb high branches, and some people say that I am a junior and a high-ranking person, and it is unpleasant to hear! ”

Wang Weiliang said: "Don't listen to their nonsense. You have a lot of good in you, as long as you don't think I'm old. I'm afraid that others will say that my old cow eats tender grass. ”

Su Hong laughed, "The tender grass likes to be eaten by the old cow, and when the old cow eats the tender grass, the tender grass will become the old cow's careful liver, and he will follow him all his life, so that the old cow can't get rid of it if he wants to." Su Hong rested her head on Wang Weiliang's shoulder.

Wang Weiliang touched his plain red and black hair, "What a stupid girl! I'm going to fly to Shenzhen tomorrow morning, so let's rest early tonight." ”

The IPO ceremony of Jiaohe Energy Group was held in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and Zhu Cheng attended the ceremony and delivered a speech. "Today, we are here to hold a grand IPO ceremony of Jiaohe Energy Group, which is a major event in the development of Jiaohe Energy Group and a happy event in the economic and social development of Jiaohe City. On behalf of the Jiaohe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to express my warm congratulations on the listing of Jiaohe Energy Group!"

"Jiaohe Energy Group is committed to building a well-known 'brand group' and a 'century-old group' in China. The listing of Jiaohe Energy Group fully reflects the strong sense of development and the pioneering spirit of forging ahead in the face of difficulties and forging ahead in the face of difficulties. I sincerely wish Jiaohe Energy Group to make new contributions to the economic and social development of the Jiaodong Peninsula and even the whole country on the new journey!"

Subsequently, Wang Weiliang stepped forward to deliver a speech.

"This successful listing is an important milestone in the development of Jiaohe Energy Group, and it is also a new starting point for the group's future development. Taking advantage of this listing, Jiaohe Energy Group will continue to strengthen standardized management, actively improve the industrial layout, form a new development pattern of coal and its derivatives, thermal power generation, new energy and other industries going hand in hand, cycle and win-win, and strive to build the group into a new enterprise with a smooth system, flexible mechanism and standardized system, continue to consolidate the group's leading position in the energy field of the Jiaodong Peninsula, and continuously improve the sustainable profitability of the group......"

At 9:18, Wang Weiliang and Zhu Cheng rang the opening bell together.

Subsequently, Wang Weiliang came to the hall to watch the opening chart. As soon as the shares of Jiaohe Energy Group were traded, they jumped sharply. It rose 37% on the day, and the company's market value reached 19 billion yuan. Jiaohe Energy Group has set a new record in the history of IPOs on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Media reporters flocked to Wang Weiliang and surrounded him.

A reporter asked: "Chairman Wang, I just calculated for you, according to the proportion of shares you hold in the group, you are now worth 9.69 billion yuan, ranking 52nd in the Hurun list." Are you particularly happy right now?"

Wang Weiliang said calmly: "I didn't pay much attention to my assets before, and it was the first time you let me know about my assets. Personally, I think that when a person has a fortune of more than one million, he is a rich person, when a person has a fortune of more than 10 million, he is a rich person, and when a person has assets of more than 100 million, he is an anxious person. If there is less money, it is your own, and if there is more money, it is everyone's. What I feel now is more responsibility – responsibility to the company, responsibility to employees, and responsibility to society. After listing, the company's brand image will be greatly enhanced, which puts forward higher requirements for our Jiaohe Energy Group. Jiaohe Energy Group must re-examine itself, reposition itself and re-plan itself at a new starting point. We are confident that we will take more solid steps and achieve greater leapfrog development. ”

Almost at the same time, Jiaohe TV also conducted interviews within the group.

One by one, the workers were elated and enthusiastically answered reporters' questions.

A reporter asked: "What impact does the group's listing have on you?"

The worker said: "This has a great impact! I am a shareholder of the group, and in the past few years, the shareholder's dividend has not been less than 20 percent of the share capital every year. After the listing, the dividends should be more, and it is estimated that they can be doubled this year. The worker couldn't help but giggle when he finished speaking.

The reporter asked another worker: "What do you expect from the company after the listing?"

The worker said: "With the listing, the group has more money and may build more branches." My nephew is going to graduate from college next year, and it is not easy to find a job now, so I hope that my nephew can also come to work in the group. ”

There were also workers next to him who couldn't help but interject: "The group has more money, and our wallets are more bulging!" "The group is good, and I am good." "Ba Wang's group is getting better and better!"

The workers, you and I said a word, pouring out the joy in their hearts, and the scene was a happy and peaceful atmosphere.

On the weekend, Wang Weiliang came to Shuangzhu Mountain as promised, and Zhu Cheng was also dressed in golf attire.

"Smack", Zhu Cheng went down, and the ball obediently slipped into the hole. A few shots down, the rod hits. And the few balls that Wang Weiliang hit were far away.

"Lao Zhu, your ball skills are getting better and better. ”

"Bingliang, I see that you are absent-minded, there must be something on your mind, right?"

"I feel strange in the past two days, obviously nothing happens, but I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, and I can't say it clearly. ”

"What, you're worth billions now, and you're still not satisfied?"

"These billions are not wealth, but heavy pressure. I always feel that there are billions now, and it is not as easy as when there were millions. At that time, you dared to think and dare to do, it didn't matter if you won or lost, it was a big deal to start all over again, and how chic your life was! Now, the stock reform has been carried out, and so many people have bought your shares, and now the stock price is rising, and everyone is happy. But what if the stock price plummets one day? I'm sure that's what Wanfu is referring to. No matter how smart a person is, there are times when his decision-making is wrong, and I am really afraid that day will come!"

"Well, that's true. Although you are in business and I am in politics, many of the principles between politics and business are the same. Take me as an example, now that I am the mayor, everyone is hugging each other, and when they see me, they all bow their heads and bow their waists, shouting for warmth. However, if one day I make a mistake, I am sure that these people who are nodding to me now will be eager to kick me twice! This is the inferior nature of the Chinese people! Therefore, I cannot make a mistake and cannot give these villains any chance. I had no other choice and no other way out. ”

"If you choose the mountains, you choose the ups and downs, and if you choose perseverance, you choose the tribulations. ”

"We are all characters with heads and faces now, and we look infinitely beautiful, but how many people can understand the pain in our hearts? I now have power in my hands and friends all over the world, but I know in my heart that there are few real intimate friends, and you are one of the few friends who can talk to. When we are together, it is very pleasant to lose the halo of the mayor and the chairman, and call Lao Zhu and Liangliang. I have my troubles, and you have your troubles, but I must take a big step forward until ......" Zhu Cheng snapped a rod and slammed a ball, and the ball obediently drilled into the hole. "Until one day, like this ball, accidentally, suddenly fell into the hole. ”

Wang Weiliang shook the cue, "As long as the cue is in your hand, you can play as much as you want, even if it is crooked, it is difficult for others to say anything." So, the most important thing is to hold the club in your hand. ”

"Don't worry, the club is firmly in my hand", Zhu Cheng shook the club in his hand, "I want to talk to you about an important matter today." As you know, Jiaohe's economic development has been weak in recent years, and the municipal government has decided to increase infrastructure investment. The development of Jiaohe City is unbalanced, the east coast is rich, and the west inland is poor, so we want to build a highway through the east and west, and the name of this highway is called New Century Avenue. After the construction is completed, funds from the eastern region will be able to invest in the western region, migrant workers from the western region will be able to work in the eastern region, and the eastern and western regions will be able to complement each other's advantages, and Jiaohe City will surely usher in a great development by leaps and bounds! This is a cause that will benefit the present generation and the future generations, and I hope that it will become a reality during my term of office. However, now the government has no money to invest, so it has to find you. ”

"Lao Zhu, now that the company is listed, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me every day, and I am much more cautious in making decisions now than before. ”

"Yes, though, I'm going to make it clear to you. I've dug a hole now, not to tell you to jump into, but to plant a cash cow. After going public, your financial resources are stronger, and what you couldn't do before, you now have the strength to do. Don't worry, I'm not going to push you into the fire pit. Offering the benefits of your company in exchange for my political achievements? I wish you to become not that kind of person. To be honest, there are a lot of people who want to invest in this highway, and I don't necessarily say yes yet. After all these years, when have I ever made you suffer? It's a big deal, and I promise you that you won't lose money. Isn't it true that everyone buys your company's shares just to make money by appreciating their value? Investing in highways is a great profit, and it is beneficial to the country and the people, so why not do it?"

"It must be a lot of investment, right?"

"The early stage of land acquisition and demolition requires 1 billion yuan, and this is solved by the government. In the later stage of project construction, the planned investment is 50 billion, which needs social financing to solve. After the completion of the expressway, the government mortgaged the toll right to repay the construction cost year by year. If you can collect 500 million yuan a year, you can recover the cost in 10 years. The government will give you 15 years of charging authority. ”

"If you calculate it in this way, the yield is relatively optimistic. But what if we don't collect that much money?

"This situation will never occur, and the annual toll amount of 500 million yuan I just mentioned is actually a relatively conservative statement, which is compared with other highway tolls. In fact, this New Century Avenue is the east-west artery of the Jiaohe River, and the traffic flow is definitely much higher than that of other roads, which I am absolutely sure of. Take 10,000 steps back, if the situation you said really occurs, the amount of fees is not enough to cover your investment costs, and then you can also apply to the government for an extension of the fee period, which can also be written into the contract. In short, the government will never let you suffer a loss. Who invests, who benefits, this is the most basic principle. ”

"What you say makes sense, it's just that after 15 years......" Wang Weiliang stopped in the middle of his words and looked at Zhu Cheng with a smile.

"Oh, you're saying that in 15 years, I'll be retired a long time ago, right? The contract is still there, no matter how young I am, the contract I signed on behalf of the government has legal effect, this is a government act, not a personal act, and the government's words will count. ”

"I'm not afraid that the government will pay its bills, I mean, there's a lot of uncertainty about the future. You have been in Jiaohe for so many years, and you know the situation of Jiaohe well, and the rapid development of Jiaohe in recent years is inseparable from your contribution. However, it seems that it is unknown whether future leaders can still make a difference like you and take care of entrepreneurs like you. Therefore, I wondered if this highway toll right could be extended to 20 years, so as not to have many dreams at night in the future. We have a bottom in our hearts. ”

"Well, it's not impossible to think about it. In another 20 years, I will be old and decrepit, and it will be difficult to speak at that time. This project is still risky, and all kinds of force majeure may occur. If you plant on this project, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. However, this matter is not something that I can decide alone, and it still needs scientific argumentation and collective decision-making. I will fully express your concerns and requirements to ensure the interests of investors. ”

A few days later, Wang Weiliang came to Zhu Cheng's house. As soon as Fulin opened the door, "Oh, Uncle Wang, you're here, please come inside." At the same time, he shouted to the inner room: "Dad, Uncle Wang is here!"

Zhu Cheng came out of the back room, "Bingliang, come, come, please sit." ”

Fulin said, "Uncle Wang, I'm just going out for a trip, you can talk slowly." ”

Wang Weiliang and Zhu Cheng both took their seats.

Wang Weiliang said: "I attach great importance to what you said last week. The construction of New Century Avenue is great news for the people of Jiaohe, and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our group. You can find me, that is full trust in me. Wang Weiliang took out an envelope from his leather bag, "It's just that I hope to extend the charging period as much as possible." Wang Weiliang put the envelope on the coffee table and pushed it to Zhu Cheng.

Zhu Cheng pushed the envelope back to Wang Weiliang's side, "Put it away quickly, don't mess with these things." The new Measures for the Transfer of Rights and Interests in Toll Roads have been officially implemented. For the transfer of the right to collect tolls on commercial highways, the cumulative period of tolls shall not exceed 25 years. The municipal government has studied it and can give you 25 years of charging authority, provided that you bear the cost of land acquisition and demolition in the early stage, which means that you have to invest an additional 1 billion yuan, what do you think?"

Wang Weiliang's total is still more cost-effective, "I agree in principle, but I still need to go back and demonstrate." ”

A few days later, the Jiaohe Municipal Government signed an investment cooperation framework agreement with Jiaohe Energy Group. Qin Guangchuan, Secretary of the Jiaohe Municipal Party Committee, Li Renlei, Director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and other leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attended the signing ceremony. Zhu Cheng and Wang Weiliang signed the agreement on behalf of the Jiaohe Municipal Government and Jiaohe Energy Group respectively. The New Century Avenue project was launched.
