The banquet was held at the Plum Garden Hotel, a guest hotel of the provincial government, and both sides were government officials from both places, and Zhang Ke did not rush to the Plum Garden Hotel until the end of the reception. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The plum garden is a building in the early days of the Republic of China, which was once the private residence of Kuomintang officials, and has been a guest hotel of the Donghai Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government after liberation.

The plum garden is pillow on the plum blossom mountain, although the plum blossom mountain in Jianye is not as good as the ten miles of fragrant snow sea in Huishan, but it is also a good place to go to the plum season. At this time, the Meishan flowers have nothing to see except for the sparse and slanted branches, but the peach blossoms that come over the mountains and hills along the road are very delicate. Zhang Ke, Zhai Danqing and Zhou You waited for a while in the hall converted into a wing room in the side courtyard of Meiyuan, Tao Jin did not attend the banquet in the evening, Li Yuanhu, Liang Weifa, Luo Jun, Zhao Youlun and Lu Wenfu and others left the banquet over there and rushed here.

Zhang Ke, Liang Weifa, and Zhao Youlun all met for the second time, but there was nothing unfamiliar with each other, and they began to talk about a lot of topics of regional economic cooperation.

On the map, the lower reaches of the small river, which is in the shape of an inverted hook, gather the five most important cities of the two provinces, Jianye, Huishan, and Haizhou in the East China Sea, and Jinshan and Changting in the south of the Yangtze River.

Kumho has come to this day step by step, from the original corner of Haizhou to the two most important cities in Donghai Province, Jianye and Huishan, and now it has begun to invest in technology in major cities in China, and it is not excluded that it will invest in the construction of manufacturing bases in other regions, but Zhang Ke has always regarded the Xiaojiang Basin as the foundation of Kumho - neither limited to Haizhou nor the East China Sea, but the entire Xiaojiang Basin. Perhaps the previous investments were concentrated in Jianye, Huishan, and Jianye, but in the future, Kumho will also consider making appropriate investments in Jinshan, Changting, and even Zhangzhou.

Of course, if the two provinces were still confined to narrow regional economic competition and could not extricate themselves, and Kumho made large-scale industrial investments in Jinshan or Changting, Li Yuanhu, Luo Jun and others would probably have a mustard in their hearts, even if they would not express any dissatisfaction, and at this time, they would be able to consider the problem from the perspective of regional economic cooperation, and of course it would be easier to accept Kumho's industrial layout.

Zhang Ke also officially mentioned to Li Yuanhu and Luo Jun that Kumho is planning to use a huge amount of money to acquire Jinshan's Dawn Paper Group, and will use the acquisition of Dawn Paper as a wedge to expand its industrial layout in Jiangnan Province.

Li Yuanhu and Luo Jun knew in their hearts how much resistance the acquisition of large state-owned enterprises by private institutions could encounter in the current country, and they also knew that Kumho's ambitions were high, and they could not ask Kumho to tie their hands and feet and only limit their development to the East China Sea.

The preparatory work for the acquisition of Dawn Paper has been carried out in the name of joint venture negotiations between Yunyuan Paper, a subsidiary of Malaysia's Kwok's Yunyuan Group, and Dawn Paper, which has been going on for nearly a month. The management of Dawn Paper did not know the truth of the matter, and even the contacts in the name of the joint venture were kept under relatively strict secrecy. A few people in Jiangnan Province know that Kumho is interested in Dawn Paper, and this is also in the hope of alleviating the resistance that may be encountered in the preliminary preparations.

The preparatory work in the early stage is to have a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the financial and operating conditions of Dawn Paper, so as to facilitate Kumho to offer a wholly-owned acquisition.

The offer of 2.2 billion yuan is not lower than Liang Weifa's own valuation of Dawn Paper, and even much higher than Liang Weifa's expectations.

Although Dawn Paper still has quite a good profit, but the profit is completely at the expense of the surrounding ecological environment, deducting the cost of the ecological environment, Dawn Paper will also produce considerable losses. Kumho also promised to close the polluting straw pulp production line in response to the national policy, and also invested heavily in the comprehensive technical transformation and upgrading of the production line and industrial wastewater treatment facilities to ensure that the pollution problem of Dawn Paper was completely solved, and even did not put forward additional requirements in terms of taxation so as not to reduce the revenue of the local government.

In addition, the agriculture and forestry, fishery, shipping and tourism industries in the basin will recover, and Liang Weifa will calculate the economic account, but at this time, he still has other worries, saying: "This is probably the largest private enterprise acquisition of state-owned assets in China so far, and the resistance should not be underestimated......."

Li Yuanhu and Luo Jun also agree with Liang Weifa's concerns, and the acquisition of local state-owned assets by domestic private enterprises has occurred repeatedly, but the scale and amount are extremely limited, which can be regarded as a pilot for local reform of the state-owned enterprise system. Such a large-scale private enterprise acquisition of state-owned assets is likely to cause great controversy. Either Liang Weifa became a pioneer in promoting the reform of the state-owned system, which led to the passage of the acquisition plan; Either the takeover is rejected, and the impact on Leung's political career cannot be ignored. Kumho, on the other hand, was much less politically affected.

"If the resistance to this plan is too great, Shin Kong Paper still has a plan," Zhang Ke fully considered Liang Weifa's concerns, and said with a smile, "Shin Kong Paper can establish an overseas joint venture with Malaysia's Yunyuan Paper, and then the overseas company will inject 1.8 billion yuan into Dawn Paper in exchange for 51% of the shares, and other relevant conditions will only be adjusted in detail, and there will be no major changes......

In the case of the joint venture, the assets of Dawn Paper are estimated to be less than 1.8 billion, but the wholly-owned acquisition is as high as 2.2 billion, and the difference of 400 million yuan is the premium paid by Kumho for the wholly-owned acquisition.

Liang Weifa took another joint venture offer letter handed over by Zhou You, looked at it, and weighed the difference in interests and resistance between the acquisition and the joint venture. Obviously, there is much less resistance to joint ventures in the name of overseas companies, but the hunger for capital of the current Jiangnan provincial government has not been alleviated. Because of the joint venture, the 1.8 billion cash invested will be retained within Dawn Paper for its own development, and the Jiangnan Provincial Government will not get a penny; If Kumho is wholly acquired, the province will sell all the assets of Dawn Paper to Kumho at a price of 2.2 billion, and the province will no longer interfere in the affairs of Dawn Paper when it gets cash.

Seeing Liang Weifa's eyes flowing with hesitant thoughts, Zhang Ke turned his words lightly and said, "Governor Liang can only bring one plan back today, I don't know what choice Governor Liang will make?" ”

"Only one can be brought back?" Liang Weifa glanced at Zhang Ke in surprise, he wanted to bring the two plans back to carefully weigh the pros and cons, and even take the two plans to the provincial government office meeting or the provincial standing committee meeting to discuss, but he didn't expect Kumho to only provide one plan for Jiangnan Province to make decisions, that is to say, the main leaders of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government can only see the two plans he can see here, and he can't help but ask, "Why?" ”

"We don't want to spend too much time on the matter of Dawn Paper, once Dawn Paper's road fails, we also hope to choose other paths as soon as possible to accelerate the development of Shin Kong Paper." Zhang Ke explained.

It is true that providing the two plans will cause the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to waste too much time on weighing the pros and cons of the two plans when making policy decisions; if the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government had asked for negotiations on the two plans at the same time, and the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and Government would have finally made a decision, Zhang Ke would probably have even thought about crying -- such negotiations would certainly not have been possible without a year and a half of idle work. Just like the joint venture negotiations between Samsung and Xiang Xuehai lasted for a year and a half, and in the end, Kumho had to step in and mess things up.

However, Liang Weifa was asked to make a decision at this time, and Zhang Ke's attitude was tough enough, Luo Jun thought so in his heart, and looked at him when he exchanged eyes with Li Yuanhu, and saw that Li Yuanhu had no mustard on his face, and thought: The contradiction between Zhang Ke and Li Yuanhu in the question of whether to invest in a pulp mill in a hurry has probably faded away with time.

Li Yuanhu has a strong temperament, and others appear in front of him with a strong posture, which is easy to conflict; Liang Weifa has a generous temperament, and although he feels a little surprised by Zhang Ke's request, it will not cause disgust. Of course, it is also related to Kumho's growing importance.

Zhao Youlun's matter in Dawn Paper can't help Liang Weifa get an idea, and he is even cooperating with Kumho's acquisition of Dawn, but he won't show it in front of Liang Weifa.

Of course, this time the government officials of the two places contacted, Zhang Ke rushed over to join in the fun, not only for the matter of Chenxi Paper, he said: "While Governor Li and Governor Liang are both here, there is a situation I want to inform you......

Liang Weifa was still having a headache and it was difficult to make decisions between the two plans submitted by Kumho, when he heard Zhang Ke solemnly say that he wanted to report other situations, his spirits lifted a little, and he asked: "What do you say cautiously, it always makes me worry about it......"

Li Yuanhu smiled slightly and asked, "What can happen?" ”

"It's not a serious matter, but I think it's necessary to let the two governors know about this situation," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "Zhou Jinxi, a professor at Tunghai University, was entrusted by the Rare Earth Office of the State Council to conduct a macroeconomic investigation and postgraduate examination on the adjustment of rare earth and other rare metal industry policies. Perhaps Governor Liang is not very clear that Jinshan Huaxi is the most important channel for the flow of rare earth ore resources to the market in Zhangzhou......"

There are almost no minerals in the East China Sea, but Zhangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River takes mining as the main pillar industry. As one of the two most important rare earth mineral resources in the country, Jiangnan Province has a considerable say in the issue of rare earth industry policy adjustment.

From the perspective of local economy, the rare earth industry policy is adjusted from Zhou Jinxi's point of view, allowing private and foreign capital to enter, which can expand the scale of Zhangzhou's mining industry and is more conducive to the development of local economic development in Jiangnan and Zhangzhou; Of course, this advantage is limited to a period of four or five years, and is limited to the simple rapid growth of GDP growth.

Liang Weifa can know that simply pursuing rapid economic growth is not the most responsible attitude for the people of the province, just like the acquisition of Dawn Paper, supporting Kumho's wholly-owned acquisition of Dawn Paper is the most appropriate way, but this involves some conflicts with the old economic and political system, which will be difficult to move forward......

Zhai Danqing didn't understand at first that Zhang Ke would choose this time to raise the issue of rare earths to Liang Weifa, and when he saw Liang Weifa fall into contemplation, he knew that Zhang Ke was a dangerous move, either Liang Weifa chose to retreat and be conservative, or he showed the courage of a politician to carry out in-depth governance of the economic system of Jiangnan Province with a more responsible and responsible attitude.

When Li Yuanhu saw the current situation, he knew that Kumho had studied Liang Weifa very deeply, so he threw out two difficult problems one after another on this occasion, and in addition, Zhang Ke, this kid, didn't seem to mind that others thought that he would announce his personal vendetta and involve Kumho in the grievances between Kumho and the Zhou family.

Zhao Youlun has no way to help Liang Weifa make up his mind about the rare earth industry, but if Jinshan Huaxi is really the main channel for Zhangzhou to steal mining resources into the market, the Jinshan Municipal Government still has jurisdiction over Jinshan Huaxi.

Zhou Jinxi is Zhou Jinyu's elder brother, entrusted by the State Council Rare Earth Office but has close contacts with the management of Mitsui Rare Metals and Jinshan Huaxi, Zhao Youlun is quite excited to hear the news, this news is going to spread out, and it is also a severe blow to Zhou Jinyu, right?

"Is there any evidence?" Of course, Liang Weifa knows that there are intricate implications involved behind this, and he can't explain it clearly in a day or two.

"Tang Yingpei, the boss of Jinshan Huaxi, was arrested by the public security organs when he instructed his subordinates to harm a student of Dongda for half a month, and he was not released from the detention center until today...... Tang Yingpei's transcript to the public security organs gave an account of his itinerary after arriving in Jianye on April 12 and 13. Zhang Ke said.

All the collusion, greetings, and pleas were blocked back to the Public Security Section of the Public Security Bureau of Jianye High-tech Zone, and Tang Yingpei was detained in the detention center for half a month before being released, and he suffered a lot, and his face was thin and slender.

The Jianye City Donghua Detention Center detained Tang Yingpei for 15 days, not a minute or a second, and he was not allowed to leave the gate of the detention center until 9 o'clock on the night of 28 July.

No matter how stupid Tang Yingpei is, he knows that someone is manipulating him behind his back, but he can't figure out whether Jianye has offended anyone who has made him do this. He didn't expect that the transcript of the itinerary he made at the Malian Street Police Station, after the identities of the characters who appeared in his itinerary were confirmed one by one, would be a sharp weapon to assassinate Zhou Jinxi; He even thought that Zhang Ke was just a student with burrs who didn't respect Zhou Jinxi enough in the lecture hall.

was released with Tang Yingpei, and naturally there were two of his subordinates. Tang Yingpei walked out of the iron gate of the detention center, saw his eldest brother Tang Yingyu and nephew Tang Zhong standing outside the door of the detention center accompanied by the entourage, and asked in surprise: "Big brother, why are you here?" Did you take my car out? ”

"Get in the car first, then talk about ......" Tang Yingyu had a gloomy face, beckoned Tang Yingpei to get in the car, and let his son Tang Zhong and his entourage sit in the car behind.

"Who hasn't offended you in Jianye?" Drilling into the Mercedes-Benz 600, Tang Yingyu put down the soundproof panel, or subconsciously asked Tang Yingpei with his throat.

"How did I know, I was locked up in it for half a month, and my head was scratched, but I didn't think of where the leak was? No one deliberately gets along with us, right? Tang Yingpei said viciously, "If I let me know who deliberately locked me up in the detention center for fifteen days, there is no ...... for him to look good."

"I didn't plan to come over to pick you up, but something happened in Zhangzhou," Tang Yingyu frowned deeply, "Xiao Shao saw the situation of three thieves in Xitang this morning, so he detained these three people, do you know what the identities of these three people are?" ”

"Reporter or investigator at the top?" Tang Yingpei asked.

"It's a journalist......"

"Plug their mouths with money," Tang Yingpei spat disdainfully, he has also suffered a lot of evil anger in the detention center these days, "These reporters are really hateful, they have to come to get some wild food every time they come down, thinking that we can open mines compared to those who can open banks." ”

"It's not that simple, those three people didn't ask for money, their attitude was very arrogant, they wanted to snatch back the camera and film from Xiao Shao's hands, Xiao Shao taught them a lesson, searched the bodies of those three people, they were reporters from the headquarters of Xinhua News Agency and Jiangnan Branch, I rushed over, Xiao Shao had beaten people into human shape, and any conditions could be agreed, but these three people were stunned that coercion and temptation didn't work, and now they can't put it, and it's not ...... Guan" Tang Yingyu's brows locked, "Those three people came to Zhangzhou on the fourth day after you were imprisoned, I think it has something to do with you being locked up, so I rushed over to discuss with you to see what went wrong? ”

"Are you going to find Zhou Jinxi?" Tang Yingpei also knew that something was serious.

"I don't have much contact with Zhou Jinxi, but I also know that he is an old fox, if this matter is known to him, how much money will we have to pay to pull him into the same trench?" Tang Yingyu even suspected that Zhou Jinxi would sell them first, "And this matter is a bit strange to be related to your detention in Jianye." ”

"Did anyone see Xiao Shao's arrest?" Tang Yingpei suddenly asked with a fierce face.

Cui Yuman was a little restless, her brother Cui Yuheng went deep into Zhangzhou to interview the current situation of rare earth mineral resources to steal mining, and had to call her every night to report safety, she also knew that this kind of secret visit had a certain danger, after all, the publication of the interview results would seriously hit the interests of the mine thieves. It's past nine o'clock in the night today, and she hasn't received a call from her brother yet, so she's a little worried.
