A day later, Guo Xiaozhou led seven members of the city's heavy industry chain leading group to the headquarters of the steel group.

His main purpose this time was to visit Yuan Mingshan, the chairman of Steel.

Of course, as a central enterprise giant at the vice-ministerial level, Yuan Mingshan is not what he can see if he wants to. Guo Xiaozhou's secretary Hu Junyi contacted and communicated with the steel side for three consecutive days, but was politely refused by the chairman of the board of directors for a meeting in Kyoto, and only promised to send a deputy general manager to receive him.

Guo Xiaozhou didn't go to steel for a show, and it was useless to see a deputy general manager who had no right to make decisions. Therefore, he arranged for Liu Changyu, director of the government office, to personally go to the steel headquarters, and the chairman's office reluctantly set a time, and strongly stipulated the time for talking.

Guo Xiaozhou endured these thresholds with great grace. After all, people have big careers and big levels, so he should bow his head.

The results are now quite expected. If the steel industry was booming four or five years earlier, not to mention him, the deputy mayor, even the vice governor wanted to see the chairman of the steel board of directors, he would have to wait in line.

Before coming to meet Yuan Mingshan, Guo Xiaozhou had a detailed understanding of the current situation of steel and the merger and reorganization with B steel. In March this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology solicited public opinions on the "Iron and Steel Industry Adjustment Policy", proposing to further organize the structural optimization and adjustment of the steel industry, accelerate mergers and acquisitions, and by 2025, the top ten steel enterprises will account for no less than 60% of the country's crude steel output, forming 3 to 5 super large steel groups with strong competitiveness in the world.

Yuan Mingshan, chairman of the steel board, also echoed his voice: "If China's steel industry wants to reduce excess supply, integration is crucial. ”

But in fact, Yuan Mingshan, chairman of the steel board, was resistant to the merger and reorganization. Because the shelf of B steel is larger than that of steel, and after the merger and reorganization, he, the leader of the vice-ministerial-level central enterprise, may be ranked outside the third place in the power sequence of the new giant steel enterprises. The chairman of the board of directors will not be him, and the general manager will not be him, he may enter the board of directors, and it is not even ruled out that a new power team will be adjusted.

In fact, as early as two years ago, a director of the Planning Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was entrusted by the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to communicate with him about the possibility of the merger of B steel and steel. Yuan Mingshan replied at the time, "The timing is not right, the timing is not right, can we both brew for a while, and when it is appropriate, we will talk about it later."

Later, Yuan Mingshan admitted in private that although he agreed in principle, "this is a delaying tactic", and his reason was that "in my tenure, the name of the entire steel has been erased, and I can't be this sinner, and I can't explain to the predecessors of steel and hundreds of thousands of workers!" ”

Just after this conversation, steel launched a rapid offensive, and successively combined Hubei Iron and Steel, Kunshan Iron and Steel, and steel has reached a production capacity of 40 million tons at this time. In the words of Yuan Mingshan: "In the future, B steel will no longer be able to gnaw us." ”

In fact, the "non-cooperation" of the management has always been the biggest obstacle in the process of restructuring China's central enterprises. Compared with B steel, the steel group has a longer history; From the perspective of administrative level, Wuhan Iron and Steel Group is also a vice-ministerial-level central enterprise, and its voice and influence are not small; And from the basic human nature and business operation mentality, no one will want to be restructured by other companies unless it is absolutely necessary.

The report of the bi-national business survey pointed out that it is normal for everyone to want to be the boss. In the context of the superposition of various factors such as manpower and capacity expansion, the first restructuring of B steel and steel planned by the SASAC ended in failure.

The group members who followed Guo Xiaozhou this time included Zeng Ruiguang, the deputy leader; Liu Changyu, Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, Zhang Yifeng, Director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Gao Dashu, Director of the Municipal Economic and Information Commission, and Liu Chengyin, Director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, were seven others.

According to the time agreed by both parties, they will meet at 9:45 a.m. at the headquarters of the steel group. The steel side should arrange a special person to meet at the gate of the factory, if you are more polite, the specifications are high, hang a welcome banner in front of the factory gate, put up a red card and so on.

However, there was no one to greet and wait at the gate of the factory, and the three vehicles of the municipal government had to "drive straight in" and kill directly to the group headquarters.

Liu Changyu, director of the municipal government office, felt bad, and he immediately took out his phone to contact Yuan Mingshan's secretary.

Who knew that the secretary was very sorry to say that the chairman was receiving a delegation of German heavy industries, and the agreed time to meet should be excused.

Liu Changyu's forehead was sweating, and he couldn't care about his anger anymore, "How long is it delayed?" ”

"Half an hour to an hour or so......"

"What are you kidding, according to the agreed time at your request, you let so many leaders wait for an hour? They put down their busy work and took the time to spend energy to come to Ganggang, not to help you......" Liu Changyu was angry, this level of meeting is very particular and well-behaved. It is almost impossible for such a "mistake" to happen in officialdom, and if it happens, it is almost equivalent to tearing your face and saying "I don't welcome you", which is a kind of slap in the face of Chiguoguo.

Yuan Mingshan's secretary explained on the phone that the foreign delegation's visit was very sudden, and it involved major technical exchanges and cooperation in steel, and the time was not easy to grasp, and he asked Mayor Guo and other city leaders to understand. He also said that he would arrange for the city leaders to go to the steel mill hotel to rest and wait, drink tea, play cards, sing and swim.

Bastard! When are we here to fight the autumn breeze? Liu Changyu almost wanted to curse.

Hearing that Liu Changyu's voice was wrong, Guo Xiaozhou opened his eyes that had been squinting and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Changyu covered the microphone of his mobile phone and reported to Guo Xiaozhou in a low voice. While reporting, he observed Guo Xiaozhou's face.

According to what he knows about Guo Xiaozhou. This political star, who is famous for his unruliness in the West Sea, is afraid that he will soon "return home". Even a good-tempered person like him can't stand it, not to mention Guo Xiaozhou, who is young and vigorous.

Even if the other party has temporary important arrangements, they can also notify in advance. But no, no one even greeted it, which obviously embarrassed Xiao Zu, the leader of the heavy industry chain. If this leading group is cut off at its first appearance, it will be even more difficult to carry out the work after that.

Guo Xiaozhou said very indifferently: "Then go to the hotel of the steel mill to relax and rest, I heard that Comrade Ruiguang likes to swim, you can invite it later, and I will accompany Comrade Ruiguang into the water." ”

Liu Changyu was stunned for a while, nodded hurriedly, and when he went to listen to the phone again, he found that the other party had hung up.

At this time, the vehicle had stopped in front of the group headquarters building, and Liu Changyu and his secretary Hu Junyi quickly got out of the car. Guo Xiaozhou sat still and didn't move.

Liu Changyu immediately went to the back car to inform Zeng Ruiguang. Other leaders are okay, Zeng Ruiguang is an old leader, and he usually talks about face. This time I was stepped on in the face by steel, and it was definitely uncomfortable. So Guo Xiaozhou specially invited Zeng Ruiguang to swim together.

Sure enough, when Liu Changyu whispered the truth to Zeng Ruiguang, Zeng Ruiguang's face was cold, and he almost immediately wanted to say that he would return, but he endured it again and said coldly: "What does Comrade Xiaozhou mean?" ”

"Mayor Guo said that the swimming pool in the steel mill is good, and he invites you to swim for half an hour, and do not forget to exercise after work."

Zeng Ruiguang's eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard this, and then he stretched out, "Then let's try the pool of the steel mill." ”

The group leader in the car behind was notified by Hu Junyi, and there was no special reaction. They also understand that they are here to make soy sauce. Including Zeng Ruiguang, too, but the soy sauce bottle in Zeng Ruiguang's hand is larger.

Once again, to Liu Changyu's surprise, after the vehicle turned around and came to the Steel Mill Hotel, Guo Xiaozhou and Zeng Ruiguang really changed their swimming trunks and went into the pool to swim, and even Zhang Yifeng, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Gao Dashu, director of the Economic and Information Commission, also followed into the water.

The remaining leaders of the leading group rested on the reclining chairs on the side, drank tea and recuperated.

In a huge full-view office on the sixteenth floor of the group headquarters building, Chairman Yuan Mingshan put down the documents in his hand and reached out to press the pager.

The secretary immediately appeared behind the door.

"What are those people from the city hall doing now?"

The secretary replied: "Vice Mayor Guo and Vice Mayor Zeng are swimming ......"

"Swimming?" Yuan Mingshan almost couldn't believe his ears, who is Guo Xiaozhou? What kind of personality it is, what background and connections he has, he knows. Always strong, never suffer, and it can even be said that the eyes will be rewarded. Today, he ruthlessly cut his face, according to his estimates, even if Guo Xiaozhou waited patiently for a minute or two, it is estimated that he would already be full of anger. And now that forty-five minutes have passed, Guo Xiaozhou has not yet brushed his sleeves away, and is still swimming in the pool? It's hard to imagine.

Yuan Mingshan asked with a stern face, "How are their expressions and emotions in the swimming pool?" ”

The secretary understood his big boss, and he replied softly, "...... They were very happy and laughing......"

Yuan Mingshan's face changed again, as a big leader at the deputy ministerial level, he felt uncomfortable with everything that he couldn't control, and he actually didn't want to see Guo Xiaozhou's visit this time. Because he didn't want to offend Guo Xiaozhou too much. Things dragged on, as long as there was no head-on conflict. But behind him is the Xiong family, and everything he has is given by the Xiong family, and he can take it back at any time.

Xiong Wentao asked him to meet, and "hoped" that he would stimulate Guo Xiaozhou when they met to see Guo Xiaozhou's reaction.

He was very surprised to hear the secretary's answer. Guo Xiaozhou's Qi cultivation kung fu exceeded his imagination. It is very unfortunate to set up such an enemy. And this enemy is still young, maybe in four or five years he will rise to the vice-provincial level, and in another five or eight years, he will be the main provincial department, and what about him? 100% take a back seat. Can you compete with others for time and potential?

Thinking of this, he said, "Go and inform them, and I'll meet them at the meeting right away." ”
