Section 10: Retirement after success

For the end of 2006, the entire domestic steel industry is definitely a big deal.

Jinghua Iron and Steel Group and Tangsteel Group signed a restructuring agreement, officially kicking off the tide of integration of the domestic steel industry: on November 28, Baosteel and Handan Iron and Steel signed a restructuring agreement to determine the two major iron and steel enterprises in central and northern Hebei.

Although Anben Iron and Steel has been listed as early as August 2005, there has been no substantial progress in the merger year of Anben Iron and Steel, and it is more of a formality, which also makes the central government quite dissatisfied with this, and in 2006, Jinghua Iron and Steel merged Tangshan Iron and Steel Group, and Baosteel merged Handan Iron and Steel to clarify the transition period, requiring enterprise mergers and acquisitions must enter real integration.

However, all these news are far less shocking than the establishment of the new Qilu Iron and Steel Group, on December 8, the new Qilu Iron and Steel Group was announced to be established, Juzhou Iron and Steel and Qilu Iron and Steel has been combined to form a merger and reorganization to form the new Qilu Iron and Steel Group, of which Bogang occupies a controlling position.

This is the first large private iron and steel enterprises in China to merge with large state-owned iron and steel enterprises, which has caused great shock at home and abroad, and a week before the two major enterprises of Qilu Iron and Steel Group, Jinan Iron and Steel and Laigang Iron and Steel announced the suspension of major events, the stocks of the two enterprises were red across the stock market, and they rose as high as 33.8 percent and 34.6 percent within a week.

At the listing ceremony, Su Juehua, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, Zeng Quanjun, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Guo Daocheng, Secretary of the Qilu Provincial Party Committee, and Zhang Guanglan, Governor of Qilu Province, attended the listing ceremony.

With the three major iron and steel groups continue to promote the pace of reorganization, domestic enterprises steel giants are also aware of the urgency of the problem, within a few days, shagang, Wuhan Iron and Steel, Masteel, etc. have released their own plans small, the most eye-catching is Shagang and Fuxing Group under the Fuxing Stegosaurus merger and reorganization matters, these two belong to the East China private enterprises have also aroused the attention of countless people, the local area of Nangang, Hangzhou Iron and Steel, Ningbo Iron and Steel trends have become the biggest target "especially Baosteel more towards Hangzhou Iron and Steel, Ninggang threw out the hydrangea, Wuhan Iron and Steel and Liugang "Ma Iron and Steel and Hegang, Changgang restructuring negotiations also surfaced, the entire Chinese steel industry set off a wave of unprecedented restructuring climax.

…………

"Well done!" , Liu Daoyuan slapped Zhao Guodong on the shoulder, and picked up a glass of wine with a smile on his face, "Guodong, I salute you" I have heard Vice Premier Su and I talk about the integration of the steel industry several times, and I feel tricky, the central government has discussed and studied several times, and has not been able to come to a conclusion, which involves many problems of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, the central and local governments, and the upstream and downstream industrial chains, but I didn't expect it to be done in your hands in the end! It's worth floating! Zhao Guodong hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said respectfully: "Brother Liu, don't say that, how can I have such a big dynasty, it is the central government that has made up its mind to set the tone, I am at most just running errands, not to mention that it is far from being a big success now, but just a beginning......"

"Guodong, don't be too humble, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the integration of the steel industry is the most difficult! Industrial integration originally involves the game of many interests, not to mention the steel industry as a basic industry, that is, the integration of phosphate resources in southern Qiannan has made me a lot more gray-haired, this is still the work promoted by the provincial government, I just care more about some, here the water is deep and shallow, I have a deep experience, you are not easy to fight, I know! Liu Daoyuan shook his head and said very understandingly.

Zhao Guodong also sighed in his heart, from March to the National Development and Reform Commission, even if the integration of the steel industry fell into his own hands, not only Vice Premier Su Juehua had to ask from time to time, "Even Vice Premier Qian Yue had to ask in person, and even twice went directly to the prime minister to report, not to mention anything else" But it is worth it to run a familiar face in several leaders during this time.

Everyone knows that this thing is not easy to do well, that is, the selection of two pilot provinces is a mess, an integration plan to repeatedly discuss and study, investigation and research, dialogue and exchange, discussion and communication, eighteen kinds of martial arts are all made out, it can be said that the energy spent on this work is much more than all the other work to sum up.

Especially from September to December, these four months, other work can only be said to be taken away, with a mind to push this work, until now it is barely over, a good start, as for how to do it later, it will rain, the mother is going to get married, no one can say clearly.

If the integration of the steel industry in Jizhong can be regarded as borrowing strength, skillfully using the power of central enterprises to guide the integration of the two major plates of steel in central and southern Hebei, and the progress is relatively smooth, then the integration of Qilu's steel industry is undoubtedly a real hard bone.

Just to match the bridge between Juzhou Iron and Steel and Qilu Iron and Steel Group, Zhao Guodong flew to Qilu no less than five times, went to Juzhou no less than three times, presided over the coordination meeting in Jiyang as many as seven or eight times, and even lived in Jiyang for a week, making himself really a bit like the director of the Qilu Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

However, the emperor paid off, and the pilot in Qilu finally entered the formal, and the plan of merging Juzhou Iron and Steel and Qilu Iron and Steel into the new Qilu Iron and Steel Group was finally finalized.

Just to solve the old Qilu Iron and Steel two listed companies and Juzhou Iron and Steel shares between the consideration took a whole week, in order to persuade the public shareholders of the two listed companies, Zhao Guodong also did not hesitate to show up to say, at the same time to persuade Juzhou Iron and Steel to take a long-term view, in the face of this rare strategic opportunity to make a certain degree of concessions, for the future development of a good public foundation.

"Brother Liu, the integration of the steel industry is related to China's long-term development strategy in the future, how to achieve scale advantages, and at the same time to establish a modern enterprise system, in addition to considering the complementary product structure and industrial chain wells, there are many problems involved, I can say that although the current integration plan is our own optimal, but there are many problems in the middle, and many problems will also emerge with the pace of integration, which need to be solved one by one in the process of integration in the future......" Zhao Guodong thought for a while before saying: "I think as long as we act according to the laws of the market economy, even if there are problems and difficulties, they can be solved and overcome."

Liu Daoyuan looked at the man sitting at the dinner table in front of him talking and laughing freely, can you imagine that more than ten years ago he was just a small policeman at the police station? And now, it is only a thin line gap with himself, the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, every item that flows through his hands is very important for the development of a place, can you imagine?

Even if he thought that this guy was not in the pool, he would never have imagined that his situation was so extraordinary, and he reached the peak more than ten years ago.

No wonder Qian Yue and Su Juehua are so optimistic about him, they can shoulder the burden of steel industry integration and really promote this work, this alone is enough to boast of pride.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhao Guodong was also a little excited after being tired.

The integration of the iron and steel industry is considered to have made a good start in their own hands, and there is still a lot of work behind, but as long as this work is promoted, it will never stop like the wheel of history, and it is impossible to turn back.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and Zhao Guodong can expect this result.

"Guodong, as you said, the integration of the steel industry has come to an end, even if it can't be said to be over, but for you, the main work is over, and the next is more about integrating the company's own affairs, which work do you plan to promote next?" Liu Daoyuan asked with a smile in a slightly playful tone.

"Brother Liu, are you scolding me? The daily work of the committee is as complicated as the work, and the work of the center also depends on the overall arrangement between the top and the committee, where can I call the shots? Zhao Guodong pondered for a while, "There are some things I want to do, but they are not mature, and some are difficult to solve under the current system, so I can only do some preliminary work, such as conducting research, writing some articles, and brewing it......"

Liu Daoyuan nodded slightly, this is a mature performance, overestimating one's ability is very sad, don't think that you have promoted a job, just think that other jobs can be concocted in the same way, and problems can be easily solved, China's national conditions, each work has its differences, your weight.

"It seems that you are very satisfied with your current work, and you plan to set up camp in the National Development and Reform Commission......" Liu Daoyuan asked casually.

Zhao Guodong glanced at Liu Daoyuan, as if he was figuring out the meaning of the other party's words, "Brother Liu, I've only been here for less than a year at the NDRC, so I can't talk about setting up camp, right?" But I did learn a lot of new things by staying here, which is hard to come by working in a local area, and to be honest, I appreciate this opportunity. "Oh, you came to the NDRC more with a learning attitude? Liu Daoyuan added a chopstick dish very casually and put it in his bowl, "After learning and improving, what are the plans......
