Zeng Quanjun showed a hint of surprise on his face, but Zhao Guodong felt that the other party's look of surprise was not aimed at the relationship between himself and Guoquan Energy, but at the sentence behind him.

"Guodong, are you saying that you suggested a few years ago that private enterprises invest in upstream iron ore companies......" Zeng Quanjun's questioning undoubtedly proves this.

"Well" at that time, the CEO of Guoquan Energy, that is, my classmate, when he was promoting coal in Ji Province, he happened to meet the boss of FUSS Holding Metal Group who also came to sell the ore of FUSS Holding Metal Group, and learned that the Foretek Metal Group was in poor condition at that time, and was in urgent need of financing, and some of his intentions came to seek my opinion, I suggested that he could enter the Foster Metal Group by way of shares, he said that the capital was insufficient, so it was not interesting to go in as a small shareholder, so I suggested that he could join the private iron and steel enterprises to buy shares, Because he has long-term coal transactions with private iron and steel enterprises, it is easy to get the trust of private iron and steel enterprises, and it is in this case that he reached a shareholding agreement on behalf of domestic enterprises and Fosterke Metal Group, ensuring that these private steel enterprises have a relatively stable source of iron ore for a long time in the future, and also avoiding the impact of iron ore price fluctuations on the efficiency of enterprises......"

Zhao Guodong said it very plainly, but it caused an uproar in Zeng Quanjun's heart. If what this guy says is true, it's just shocking.

As the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Zeng Quanjun also paid attention to this enterprise, not only because of the rapid development of this enterprise in recent years, but more importantly, this company has invested heavily in overseas development in the domestic coal market, such as Mongolia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia, and has achieved great success. Guoquan Media, a subsidiary of Guoquan Energy Group, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange last year and became a publicly listed company.

In the face of a huge market value of publicly listed enterprises, the controlling party does not belong to state-owned assets, and state-owned assets have to measure their value according to the market value of the stock market.

In addition to this, Guoquan Energy has also joined forces with many other well-known domestic private iron and steel enterprises to enter the third largest mining enterprise in Australia... Fosterke Metal Group has become the second largest shareholder, and such a feat has also caused many domestic economists to exclaim, saying that Guoquan Energy is a model for private enterprises to go overseas for entrepreneurship and development in the new era, and calling on state-owned enterprises to learn from private enterprises such as Guoquan Energy.

"Guodong, did you expect that the iron ore would be in the current situation at that time......" Zeng Quanjun turned his head to stare at Zhao Guodong and asked in a deep voice, not even noticing Vice Premier Qian Yue's gaze.

"Well" I felt that the domestic economic growth rate will maintain a high growth momentum for many years, such as automobiles, shipbuilding and infrastructure construction and other industries will drive the sharp increase in iron ore imports, in this case to seek a stable channel or control the upstream raw material channel, should be a more sensible choice...... "Zhao Guodong patiently explained" "Facts have proved that my judgment is basically in line with the development of the past few years. ”

Guojin Energy joined hands with domestic private enterprises to enter the Australian iron ore project should have been more than two years ago, and Zhao Guodong was still in Anyuan Ningling as the secretary of the municipal party committee at that time, at that time Zhao Guodong could have such a keen insight and determination, which shows this person's sense of smell and courage, Zeng Quanjun even knew that the largest shareholder behind Guoquan Energy was Canglang Group, and the founder of Canglang Group was said to be the younger brother of Zhao Guodong, and Zeng Quanjun was also vaguely aware of this.

Canglang Group is also a very famous private enterprise in China, starting from mineral water, step by step to the current biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical retail chain, health care products, water industry and commercial real estate as the main comprehensive enterprise group, but also a miracle in private enterprises, because of these factors, Zeng Quanjun has never underestimated the new Director Zhao, but he also understood the history of Canglang Group, at that time Zhao Guodong seemed to be still a police officer in a certain countryside, Canglang started not in Zhao Guodong's work, The implication is that it has little to do with Zhao Guodong, "but with such a huge enterprise as the backing, at least Zhao Guodong does not need to worry about personal finance, and he can resist the silver bullet attack that many cadres cannot resist very safely, which is also a good thing to some extent."

"Well, you can see and make accurate judgments at that time, which is not simple...... Zeng Quanjun nodded, and said: "When the CEOs of many of our large state-owned enterprises are just the severity of the problem, it is too late, and the steel industry has taught us a considerable lesson and paid a considerable price at this point......

"Director Quanjun, it's not too late to make amends, as far as the steel industry is concerned, I feel that China's demand for imported iron ore will continue to increase in the next few years, which means that foreign iron ore giants will still take various means to raise prices against us, forcing our corporate profits to flow into their pockets, rather than being controlled by others in the future, it is better to go out boldly now, even if there will be some setbacks, and even pay some generations, it is better than sitting at home now and waiting to die......"

Zhao Guodong expressed his opinions quite frankly.

"Well, I also think so, even if the price of iron ore has risen a lot compared with the previous two years, but the domestic demand is still strong, which means that if we don't react, the road ahead will be more difficult to walk, and we will have to pay a more painful price......" Zeng Quanjun was quite rational and did not ask much else.

Zhao Guodong has such a complex background, but he is still placed in the position of deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, which shows that Zhao Guodong must have passed the review of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, otherwise with such a strict review system by the Central Committee of the Central Committee for vice-ministerial-level cadres, those things behind him really have problems or doubts, and they would have been brushed down and put into the cold palace if they were not taken down. It is precisely because of this that Zeng Quanjun also realized that Zhao Guodong can go up to the National Development and Reform Commission as his deputy, not to mention, "there must be some views and practices that have been recognized by the high-level, so in Zhao Guodong's proposal to open the import right of raw materials for fertilizers, in the foreign cooperation at the national level, private enterprises and state-owned enterprises and large enterprises are included in the same treatment, although he has some doubts, but he still has no objection."

After the comrades of the Ministry of Commerce introduced it, "the two comrades of the Policy Research Center of the State Council also expressed some views, mainly on the issue of iron ore import mechanism, which are similar to each other, mainly on how to crack the mining giants and Japanese and South Korean enterprises on the issue of China's iron industry."

"Quanjun, I see that you and Guodong have been talking in secret, and it seems that you also have some opinions, let's talk about your views on the iron ore mechanism. ...... "The more money you get, the more you start."

Zeng Quanjun and Zhao Guodong exchanged glances, and Zeng Quanjun signaled that Zhao Guodong would talk about this issue, after all, Zhao Guodong was responsible for industrial coordination.

"Premier Wen, Vice Premier Qian, Vice Premier Su, colleagues, just now Director Quan Jun and I also listened to your discussions and opinions, Director Quan Jun and I also had some private discussions, we feel that on the issue of iron ore import mechanism, in the final analysis, there are still two core issues restricting us......

Zhao Guodong is not humble, since Zeng Quanjun has given himself such an opportunity, then he has to seize it, this is also the first time he has performed in front of colleagues from other departments in front of the three bigwigs.

"First, as the Ministry of Commerce and the Policy Research Center of the State Council just talked about, China's steel industry capacity and structural problems, the overall overcapacity of steel, but the high-tech content of special steel is still in short supply, there are still considerable defects in the product structure, the scale of steel enterprises is uneven, the distribution is scattered, the scale effect has not been formed, and the response to the large-scale momentum of the international steel industry is weak......"

"Second, the industrial chain is incomplete, and the lack of voice and control over the upstream industry, especially the raw material industry, has led to our lack of confidence in the negotiations. Because they already have the right to collect in the iron ore industry, they have lost the east corner and collected the miscellaneous elms, and their early layout in the upstream of iron ore can effectively resolve and resist the risk of iron ore price fluctuations, while we can only endure the pain and bleed passively ......"

"Third, in fact, this third is evolved from the first, due to the structure of dispersion, many enterprises, different interests, difficult to reconcile, in the face of strong iron ore giants, we are difficult to form a joint force to deal with, no matter which enterprise is the representative, or a certain association to lead, involving many interests "many participants" plus the iron ore giants of the intelligence network has already penetrated into our domestic steel enterprises, so they can easily obtain a large number of first-hand information, facing us, The iron ore giants have an absolute advantage, and in this case, they are already invincible......"

In the face of the blazing eyes of the three prime ministers and comrades from other surrounding ministries and commissions, Zhao Guodong had no stage fright, in fact, the more such occasions, the more he found that he had a strong fighting spirit and desire to show himself in his heart.
