Chapter 982: Returning the Favor

readx;

On the way to Luo Jun's house, Zhang Ke received a call from Chen Bingde, in which Chen Bingde told him what he had agreed with Yu Qinglin and **, Zhang Ke was not dissatisfied with this, and it was quite good to be able to do this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pointer of time has just been pulled out to the first day of the 99th year, and local interest groups have long formed an intertwined chain of interests, and characters like Qian Guihua are often a more important link in the chain of interests; If there is no person in power with such a strong personality as Xu Xueping, if there is no timely political environment, or if there is no powerful and determined group, it is delusional to want to thoroughly clean up the complex network of interests and interests.

As far as the interests and networks of interests are concerned, as long as the fundamental interests of the whole are not touched, it is also an acceptable reality to sacrifice the parts where contradictions are prominent, and this can make the whole more stable and will not cause a major backlash.

Zhang Ke has also seen too much of this kind of thing, just like all kinds of things that happened to the acquisition of Dawn Paper.

Zhang Ke and Tang Jing rushed to Luo Jun's house, Yao Wensheng and Yi Xin had already arrived there, they came over to pick up Zhang Ke, and there were two young men, a man and a woman.

"I heard Wen Sheng say that you came back from Beijing yesterday, why didn't you see you on the plane?" Yi Xin asked.

"Were you a flight attendant or a passenger on the plane yesterday?"

"It wasn't me yesterday again, of course it was a passenger."

"Then I don't regret not taking the plane yesterday......" Zhang Ke smiled shyly.

Yao Wensheng punched Zhang Ke with a smile and introduced two young men and women around him to Zhang Ke, the woman was Luo Jun's daughter Luo Qi, and the man was Luo Qi's boyfriend Zhao Liuyu.

When Luo Jun went to Jianye, his son and daughter were already adults, so his wife came to Jianye with him, his son went abroad to study, and his daughter stayed in Beijing to work after graduating from university. On this New Year's Day, Luo Jun's daughter Luo Qi took her boyfriend Zhao Liuyu to Jianye to meet her parents during the holiday, of course, the man's family background was also approved by Luo Jun in advance - for the Luo family, it is a bit of a luxury to talk about free love - after the two confirmed their relationship, this is a formal visit to both parents.

Luo Qi's face has inherited some of Luo Jun's characteristics, the eyebrows and eyes are slightly larger, but the makeup is delicate and the cover is good, if you want to be considered a beauty, it does not meet Zhang Ke's aesthetics of Qingshui out of hibiscus. Having said that, how many women in this world can afford the standard of "clear water out of hibiscus" to assess, Zhang Ke looked sideways and saw Tang Jing, and then he figured out why she smeared makeup on her face, the fat marks under her eyes were too heavy, and she looked like an artificial beauty.

Luo Jun set up a private banquet at his residence today, and he also wanted to introduce his daughter and prospective son-in-law to Zhang Ke, his daughter's and prospective son-in-law's career has just started and needs help, but first of all, they need to broaden their horizons, when it comes to the broadening of their horizons, Luo Jun has never seen a more outstanding person than Zhang Ke in the younger generation.

Yao Wensheng is also a rising star, and Gu Changgeng of the Gu family behind him is also a veteran of the central government, although the Gu family entrusts Yao Wensheng to Wang Weijun to take care of, but if he can take care of it, Luo Jun will not be stingy to show favor to the Gu family, and Yao Wensheng's fiancée Yi Xin is the daughter of Yi Yunfei, deputy minister of the Ministry of Information Industry.

Luo Jun also gradually understood that the Gu family was still inclined to Kumho in terms of position, especially after Tang Xueqian took up his post in Jiangnan, with the support of Xu Xueping, he quickly hired a group of officials within the scope of his responsibility, most of these officials were the contacts accumulated by the Gu family's son-in-law Chen Xinmin when he was serving in Jiangnan, and some of the situations gradually became clear, but I don't know when they colluded together and who helped him thread the needle in the middle, the Ye family?

Dinner time was still early, and the girls prepared a dinner with Luo Jun's wife to help the nanny, while Zhang Ke, Yao Wensheng and Zhao Liuyu, the prospective son-in-law of the Luo family, accompanied Luo Jun to chat in the living room.

The elders of the Zhao family had deep connections in the original Ministry of Finance, and after the Ministry of Finance was abolished, Zhao Liuyu entered the semi-official Zhongzhi Association after graduation.

Speaking of the China Metallurgical Association, Zhang Ke is naturally no stranger, in order to integrate domestic rare earth ore and other rare metal resources to establish Huaxi Mining, Kumho holds 12% of the equity, and the remaining 88% of the state-owned equity is held by the Rare Earth Industry Association. Although the Rare Earth Industry Association aggregates the rights and interests of the central and local rare earth enterprises and related enterprises and institutions, it is still nominally under the umbrella of the China Governance Association, and the former minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy and the honorary president of the China Metallurgical Association serve as the president of the Rare Earth Industry Association, which can be said to be within the framework of the metallurgical system.

Although the Zhao family has deep connections in the former Ministry of Metallurgy, which can allow Zhao Liuyu to have a good development in the metallurgical system, Luo Jun will not stand idly by if he can help his prospective son-in-law, so why not seek better development if he can have better development?

Although Kumho only holds 12% of the equity of Huaxi Mining, its influence is more than this proportion, Huaxi Mining can be said to be promoted by Kumho, and hundreds of millions of start-up funds of Huaxi Mining are provided by Kumho. In the metallurgical system, Luo Jun is still very optimistic about the prospects of Huaxi Mining or rare earth industry.

Of course, Luo Jun can't say his intentions nakedly, in that case, the meaning of the transaction will be too strong, and he won't even make any too obvious hints.

Considering that the prospective son-in-law has just come out of work with a narrow knowledge and vision, other topics may not be able to interject, sitting on the sofa, Luo Jun stilted up Erlang's legs, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and said to Zhao Liuyu: "Luo Qi showed me the article you published, you still have your own views on the development of the domestic steel industry...... During this period, the two provinces of Donghai and Jiangnan adjusted the new steel industry plan, what do you think? ”

Zhang Ke saw that Luo Jun directly pulled the topic to the current layout of the steel industry in the Xiaojiang Basin, knowing that it was to help his future son-in-law, and sat there with Yao Wensheng, looking at Zhao Liuyu with interest: a young man of twenty-six or seventeen, medium stature, looks weak, but his eyes are bright, he looks energetic, has an enviable family background, is well-educated, and is at the time of high spirits and ambitions.

"Some time ago, everyone talked about Huaxi Mining, during this time, and there was a lot of interest in the steel base of Xinting," Zhao Liuyu was also happy to show that he was familiar with the domestic steel industry, "the domestic steel production at the beginning of ninety-seven years only exceeded 100 million tons, the annual new output in the past two years is almost 10 million tons, the specific data of ninety-eight years have not been counted, almost can be estimated, the output of more than one million tons of steel enterprises about twenty-four or five, only three steel companies hovering around 10 million tons, The two provinces of Donghai and Jiangnan are determined to build another 10-million-ton steel industry base in Xinting, and it is almost inevitable that it will attract attention......"

"Xiao Zhao, what do you think of this project?" Luo Jun asked.

"The East China Sea and Jiangnan provinces in the whole basin of the region to adjust the layout of the iron and steel industry, its progress in the country is very worthy of affirmation, but the scale of the project in Xinting is more than three times that of the largest steel enterprise in the East China Sea, some people began to worry about whether the market capacity can be withheld, the Asian financial crisis on the domestic economic constraints are still very obvious, next year, the domestic heavy industry capacity will not be excessive, the planning committee within the opinions are also very different, if it can be postponed for two years, opinions may be unified some ......"

Zhang Ke just maintained a gentle smile and did not comment on Zhao Liuyu's words.

He knew in his heart where the differences of opinion within the Planning and Development Committee came from.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, as the basis of the industrial system, the iron and steel industry has received special attention from the central government, and even has a special period when the people of the country have practiced steel, and the largest steel enterprises in China are enterprises directly under the central government at the vice-ministerial level, and the annual output is still some short of the threshold of 10 million tons.

At a time when these super-large steel enterprises are working hard to cross the threshold of 10 million tons, after the completion of the Xinting Iron and Steel Industrial Base and the merger of production capacity with Donghai United Iron and Steel and Dongshan Iron and Steel Company, a super-large steel enterprise of 14 million tons can be directly formed. As a vice-ministerial-level enterprise directly under the central government, who wants to see the industry's first crown to a provincial mixed private capital steel enterprise to take off, dragging its feet, there is no more natural thing, which is only afraid to be the most energetic Wenzhou Iron and Steel in eastern Zhejiang.

Xinting and Wenzhou are 300 kilometers apart, Wenzhou Iron and Steel has the advantage of regional radiation in the steel market of the East China Sea and Jiangnan provinces, once the Xinting Iron and Steel Industry Base is completed, while making up for the market vacancy in the small river basin, it also has the advantage of regional radiation radiation to the steel market in eastern Zhejiang.

In addition, the largest berth in Wenzhou Port in eastern Zhejiang is a 150,000-ton container terminal, and the dedicated ore wharf can only dock a bulk ore ship loaded with 80,000 tons, and the deep-water berth is always the most scarce resource in the harbor, and the investment is also extremely huge, even if a new wharf is built, it can only be increased to 100,000 tons in the short term.

The first phase of Dongshan Port planning and design is planned to build a 300,000-ton iron ore wharf, and after the completion of Dongshan Port and Dongshan Iron and Steel Industry Base, Wenzhou Iron and Steel will form an advantage in transportation costs.

Wenzhou Iron and Steel should be happy to see the smooth completion of Dongshan Port and Xinting Dongshan Iron and Steel Industrial Base, then it is called a ghost.

Dongshan Port and Dongshan Iron and Steel Industry Base two major projects are the key to the revitalization plan of Jiangnan Province, there are opposing forces, naturally there are supporting forces, in the State Council, Zhao Jidong, Zeng Rusheng two premiers have clearly supported Jiangnan's economic recovery plan, in the local, Donghai Province and Jiangnan Province are working closely together to promote, several steel enterprises want to make trouble through the dissenting opinions of the State Planning and Development Commission, naturally can not succeed.

Donghai Province will appoint Lu Wenfu as vice governor in charge of industry, and Lu Wenfu will be in charge of regional economic cooperation in the Xiaojiang Basin, as well as large and medium-sized provincial enterprises such as Donghai United Iron and Steel and Yangpu Shipbuilding.

This kind of personnel arrangement is also convenient for Kumho to exert greater influence and penetration in the regional economic cooperation in the Xiaojiang Basin.

Luo Jun saw the gentle smile on Zhang Ke's face, and also knew that Zhao Liuyu had just come out to work, and his understanding of the industry was not yet in Zhang Ke's eyes, but Zhang Ke could show interest, which was already quite face-saving, and he didn't expect Zhao Liuyu's talent to be as outstanding as Zhang Ke.

"The Planning Commission's concerns are a bit redundant, just this year, the steel demand gap in the two provinces of Donghai and Jiangnan will reach 5 million tons," Luo Jun smiled slightly, and said, "Besides, Dongshan Island will build a large port, and the port must rely on large industries in order to prosper, and there are different opinions within the Planning Commission, but in this project, the opinions of the Planning Commission are not particularly important-" Luo Jun saw through that Kumho's shareholding in the future Oriental Union Iron and Steel will be controlled below 20%, and the entry of private capital is not a problem, he changed his tone slightly, and said, " Donghai United Iron and Steel is a provincial enterprise, after all, it is still on the territory of Jianye, and at this time it was transferred to Xinting to build a 10-million-ton steel industry base, to be honest, I still have some greed......"

Zhang Ke and Yao Wensheng both laughed, who is not greedy for such a big project?

In 98, Jianye City's economic development continued to make great progress on the basis of last year, and continued to move forward in the ranking of second-tier cities in China. There are also specific data in hand, even if Jianye City's GDP in '98 years did not reach 100 billion yuan, it was not far behind, and the total industrial production value was about 320 billion yuan.

In '98, Xinting's total industrial production is expected to not exceed 35 billion yuan, and its GDP will not exceed 11 billion yuan.

What is the concept of a 10-million-ton steel base?

When the industrial base is completed and put into operation, it will be able to directly form an industrial output value of nearly 50 billion yuan, and the GDP will increase by about 15 billion yuan.

Whoever wants to say that this project is not greedy is simply self-deception, thinking that at the beginning, Li Yuanhu was also quite anxious to add new large-scale and super-large projects in the province, and even thought of forcing Kumho to go ahead of schedule for the pulping project, which caused a long-term contradiction between the two sides -- the investment in the pulping project was less than one-sixth of that of the 10-million-ton steel base.

Advance to the end of 96 years, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to think that Li Yuanhu agreed to give this project to Jiangnan Xinting, even if the chicken flies and the egg is beaten, and the project is yellow, it will not let Jiangnan Province get this great benefit.

Jiangnan Province's economic foundation has always been much worse than that of the East China Sea, and in the summer of '98, it was hit by a catastrophic flood, and the two projects of the 10-million-ton steel industry base and the Dongshan Island port construction project were able to restore the economy of Jiangnan Province, at least from the point of view of the data, there was still a considerable increase.

In the past two years, Kumho has been promoting the industrial layout and the Xiaojiang Basin regional economic cooperation ideas have a profound impact on the high-level of the two provinces, of course, whether it is the construction of Dongshan Island port or the 10 million ton steel industry base, Kumho is actively promoting behind the scenes, but also after all, to maximize the geographical advantages of Xinting.

Of course, Donghai Province is not without benefits, as the main investor of the project, the operation of the project after the completion of the profit, will directly increase the provincial fiscal revenue. Sometimes GDP and GNP data are relatively false, but local fiscal revenues are rarely falsified.

For Jianye City, not only is it not beneficial, but also has certain disadvantages.

In order to promote the construction of 10 million tons of iron and steel industry base, the two provinces will limit the approval of new steel projects in the province, and have clearly stopped the approval of new steel projects with a scale of less than 100 million yuan.

The development of the steel industry in Jianye City will also be restricted, especially the Donghai United Iron and Steel Group will stop continuing to expand production capacity in Jianye, and the industrial plan that will be developed into a pillar industry in Jianye City and approved by the Municipal People's Congress will also be revised.

Luo Jun can accept such an arrangement, restrain the selfishness of local interests, and carry out reasonable planning and layout of the industry, which is more conducive to the future development of the city.

However, he proposed it at this time, and he also wanted Zhang Ke to understand that such a large project to build a new pavilion would especially hinder Jianye's interests, he would not stop it, and even actively support it, Zhang Ke would repay him in other ways.

Zhang Ke could also understand Luo Jun's hints, and eagerly asked about Zhao Liuyu's work in the China Metallurgical Association.

To tell the truth, after the abolition of the Ministry of Metallurgy, the power of the semi-official China Metallurgical Association has been greatly reduced, and there is only nominal guidance for some large metallurgical enterprises, and the scale of the enterprise is smaller, and it may also buy the accounts of the Metallurgical Corporation, like several large steel enterprises and mining companies are at the vice-ministerial level, and the political status of the chairman, general manager or party secretary is even higher than that of the president of the China Metallurgical Association.

If Zhao Liuyu wants to develop in the political circles, he must either go to the central departments directly under the original metallurgical system, or go to the central enterprises of the original metallurgical system.

Of course, Luo Jun didn't say it directly, and Zhang Ke couldn't directly suggest that Zhao Liuyu go to Huaxi Mining, and besides, the grading of Huaxi Mining is very complicated, in addition to Kumho's equity, local rights and interests account for most of it, and the direct influence of the central government is still weak, and maybe people don't look down on Huaxi Mining.

If Zhao Liuyu is really willing to go to Huaxi Mining, Zhang Ke will not be stingy to provide assistance, after all, he is much more familiar with Luo Jun, and it is also convenient to develop a personal relationship with Zhao Liuyu, which will help increase Kumho's influence on Huaxi Mining.

Carefully testing each other, talking in the living room, after nightfall, they went to the dining room to eat, and continued the topic just now at the dining table, after all, it was already nine o'clock in the night, Zhang Ke, Tang Jing, Yao Wensheng and Yi Xin said goodbye and left. In order to show goodwill, he also specially invited Zhao Liuyu and Luo Qi to be guests in his apartment tomorrow. If you can really establish a personal relationship with Zhao Liuyu and Luo Qi, the relationship with Luo Jun will be more stable.
