Wang Hongfeng said straight to the point at the briefing: "The general situation should also be clear, the world's top 500, South Korea's second largest group Dazhou Group and the famous Chinese businessman, Mexico's Tangsheng Group reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement, the two sides will invest 200 million US dollars in Haizhou area to build a new design annual production capacity of one million tons of modern shipyard, the factory investment scale will exceed Huayuan Kawasaki, in our province to form a new shipbuilding industry base." ”

"Haizhou area has the province's only deep-water port, is the east bridgehead of the country's three vertical and three horizontal land bridge railway, is also one of the first dozen coastal cities in the country to open, has a very large development potential and space, Haizhou area to form a modern shipbuilding industry manufacturing capacity, for the economic development of our province, especially the development of the shipbuilding industry is of great significance. It has a huge role in enhancing the development of the port industry in Haizhou, enhancing the status of the port in Haizhou, and enhancing the radiation influence and centripetal force of Haizhou on the bay area and the land bridge economic belt in Haizhou. ”

"Haizhou area and Tongcheng are the two pearls of our province's coast, they are one south and one north, respectively, and Xucheng and Fenghu reflect each other, forming a large framework for the economic development of our province and leading the development of the province's economy."

Wang Hongfeng said: "This is a major event involving the economic development ∴of the province, so the province and Haizhou should actively coordinate and promote, and strive to make the project land as soon as possible, so that the project can form a ...... as soon as possible for the local and surrounding industries."

The joint venture project between Dazhou Heavy Industries and Tangsheng Group involves an investment of 300 million US dollars and a direct use of foreign capital of 200 million, but it is not only because of these investments that the province attaches great importance to, but also because of the special status of Haizhou.

As one of the first ten coastal cities to open up, Haizhou is also the bridgehead of the land bridge economic belt determined by the central government. Geographically, the Haizhou region connects Qilu and Jiangbei provinces. To the west, the Guò land bridge railway connects the entire central and western regions. To the north, the sea can connect the Beihai Economic Circle and reach Yanjin and Northeast China; To the south is the Dajiang Economic Belt, and to the east is Japan and South Korea, so it can be said that the Haizhou area is an important node connecting the north and the south, east and west, and its geographical importance is undoubted.

No matter what the national economic planning is, the Haizhou region has not been left behind. However, the economic development of the Haizhou region is not worthy of his status. Although as a large container port, Haizhou port can also be ranked among the top ten in the country, but the development of the local economy has always been tepid, if the total throughput of the port is calculated, it is even inferior to the Tongcheng port based on bulk cargo and river ports.

The reason for this situation is also related to the special geographical location of Haizhou region, which is located on the border between Jiangbei and Qilu Province. The development center of Jiangbei province is in the south. Investments in the north are limited. Qilu Province will focus on taking care of local cities when developing, and even does not want the province's resources to flow out.

Luzhou, which is close to Haizhou, can catch up and surpass Haizhou in port throughput and GDP in a short period of time, which has a lot to do with the key support of Qilu Province. The southern part of Qilu was rich in coal reserves, and it could have been possible to build a branch line to connect the land bridge line and export it directly from the port of Haizhou, but Qilu considered the interests of the province and strongly advocated going to sea from Luzhou, where the basic conditions were still very simple at that time. After the development of Luzhou Port, the annual output of coal is as high as 10 million tons. The import of iron ore is as high as hundreds of millions of tons, and this alone has left behind the port of Haizhou, which lacks the support of large projects.

Of course, the development of Luzhou Port is also related to its unique port conditions, and the development of Haizhou itself is not strong enough, but if the gap between the two provinces is put aside. The Haizhou region should have had better development.

It is precisely because of the competition between localities that the Haizhou region has not received the support it deserves from its status in the plan, and the province also has its own difficulties, after all, Jiangbei Province does not rank high among the provinces in the country. In several coastal provinces, the strength is relatively weak, the province's resources are limited, and priority must be given to Fenghu, Xucheng and Tongcheng, where the basic conditions are better, and the Haizhou area has some very superior conditions, but to turn these conditions into strength, it requires huge investment, and the province also feels powerless.

Another point is very important, in addition to some objective conditions, the central and provincial investment in Haizhou has been lacking, but in the policy support has always been generous, Haizhou has always been the first to enjoy the preferential policies of reform and opening up, and has been highlighted in various plans, but Haizhou has always been unable to take care of these things into a boost for development, and they are not angry, and of course there is no way in the province.

At present, although the Haizhou area has only introduced a shipyard with an investment of about 3 billion yuan, this project may not be a big deal in Qindao and Hucheng, but it is of great significance to Jiangbei Province and Haizhou region. Even in Tongcheng, where the shipbuilding industry is relatively strong, Huayuan Kawasaki has raised the Tongcheng shipbuilding industry to a higher level, and the joint venture project between Tang and Dazhou will inevitably bring about the great development of the shipbuilding industry in Haizhou.

Although the foundation of the Haizhou area is poor, the potential is huge. Haizhou area imagination space is even larger than Tongcheng, no matter how well Tongcheng develops, it can only be used as a satellite city on the flank of Shanghai, Haizhou area is well developed, but it may become the leader of the Huaihai Bay, and even the land bridge economic belt, which may be a very conspicuous political achievement for any leader of Jiangbei Province.

More importantly, the central government has always placed high hopes on the Haizhou region, which has not developed due to various restrictions in the past, and now the Haizhou region has such a good opportunity, and if Jiangbei Province does not take action, there is no way to explain to the above. However, if the decision to promote the development of Haizhou is made, it will be affirmed and supported by the central government.

Therefore, even Governor Hong Ximing, who proposed to focus on building the Tongcheng economy after taking office, did not hesitate much, and made a decision to support the Haizhou regional project, and proposed to let the provincial shipping company participate in the joint venture project.

Different from the general discussion or report first, and then the leader makes a decision or summarizes the meeting, this meeting, Wang Hongfeng, secretary of the provincial party committee, came up to set the tone for the project, and then Hong Ximing also said: "Just now Secretary Wang has emphasized the importance of this joint venture project to the Haizhou region, Jiangbei Province and even the regional economic development, Haizhou has been placed by the central government to lead the Huanghuaihai and the central and western regions along the road and bridge expectations. However, in the past, the development of Haizhou area was not satisfactory, this joint venture project is a very good opportunity, I hope that Haizhou area must mobilize a qiē can mobilize resources, this project will be done well, the relevant departments and units in the province, but also full support, full cooperation. ”

Hong Ximing said: "At present. The most important thing is to implement the domestic investor of the joint venture project, according to the agreement of the joint venture party, in addition to the joint venture shipyard of 200 million US dollars of foreign capital, but also to correspondingly support the domestic capital of one billion yuan, the province means, Haizhou region to solve half of it, in addition to the province to support the provincial shipbuilding company to eat the other half, the provincial shipbuilding company as the province's independent shipyard leader, has the responsibility and obligation to support the development of the shipbuilding industry in Haizhou. The Provincial Planning Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Department of Industry, the Department of Communications, and the Provincial Shipping Company have negotiated with the relevant departments of Haizhou Prefecture and City to finalize the specific plan. ”

After Hong Ximing's speech, Executive Vice Governor Xu Shengjiao said: "The meaning of Secretary Wang and Governor Hong is very clear just now, and now I am asked to take the lead in this specific work, and I also feel a lot of pressure. But I hope you're just like me. There must be pressure, and this pressure is the expectation of the central government, the province, and the broad masses of the people for the economic development of Haizhou. I hope that everyone can turn pressure into motivation and do this well, just like me. ”

"Before this meeting, I had already exchanged views on the project with some comrades, and in general, everyone's opinions on the project were unanimous. I feel that this is a great opportunity for Haizhou and Jiangbei. The provincial shipbuilding company is very enthusiastic about participating in the joint venture project and participating in the construction of the shipbuilding industry in Haizhou, and the Haizhou area also welcomes the arrival of the provincial shipbuilding company, hoping to work with the provincial shipbuilding company to realize the revitalization of the shipbuilding industry in Haizhou. ”

Xu Shengjiao said: "In a conversation with comrades in the Haizhou region. I found that their ideas on the development of the shipbuilding industry in Haizhou are very clear, and in short, they are four words: I am the mainstay. This is also the most important purpose of our country's introduction of foreign capital to develop the economy, so the comrades in Haizhou proposed that our eyes should not only be on joint venture projects, but should also take into account the development of the shipbuilding industry in Haizhou. ”

"At present, the province hopes to let the provincial shipping company company participate, now everyone is here, Haizhou regional city and the provincial shipping company you all talk about your views, talk about what you think, whether you can complete this task, what difficulties and requirements, you can talk about it."

After several provincial leaders set the tone, Xue Shaohua and Chen Yuqing in Haizhou, as well as Ren Weifeng, secretary of the party committee and chairman of the provincial shipping company, and Chen Yibin, general manager, spoke successively.

The response of the provincial shipbuilding company is also relatively positive, whether it is to participate in the joint venture project, or to participate in the construction of the shipbuilding base in Haizhou, it is very in line with the expectations of the provincial shipbuilding company, in the general direction, the two sides almost hit it off, and there is no fundamental contradiction.

Seeing this situation, Wang Hongfeng and Hong Ximing said a few words of encouragement, then got up and left first, handed over the meeting to Xu Shengjiao to preside, and officially entered the detailed negotiation link.

Once it comes to the details, just now that kind of hello, hello, hello, everyone's good atmosphere immediately became gone, in the investment of the joint venture project, the two sides are not very different, the two sides each bear the investment of 500 million, and specifically negotiate with Dazhou Heavy Industry and Tangsheng Group.

However, the Haizhou region has bound the investment in the joint venture project with the support of the provincial shipbuilding company for the ships in the Haizhou area, which means that if the provincial shipbuilding company wants to invest in the joint venture project, it must satisfy the Haizhou region in terms of supporting the ships in the Haizhou area. The requirements put forward by the Haizhou region include almost all-round support in terms of personnel, equipment, funds, and markets. Ren Weifeng, chairman of the provincial shipping company, couldn't help but sneer: "If we can build a shipyard by ourselves according to your requirements, then does this shipyard belong to your Haizhou area, or is it our provincial shipbuilding company?" ”

Chen Yuqing immediately returned the color: "Then we can also invest in the joint venture project alone, isn't it one billion, and we can still get it in Haizhou." Anyway, the future benefits of this project are completely predictable. ”

Ren Weifeng and Chen Yibin also felt a headache in the face of Chen Yuqing, who had a tough attitude: "Mayor Chen, you may not know much about the shipbuilding industry, in fact, the shipbuilding industry has overcapacity, and it is very affected by economic fluctuations, once there is an economic downturn." Orders for shipbuilding will be drastically reduced, and even orders under construction will be canceled, so the risk for this industry is still very high. ”

Chen Yuqing immediately said: "If Secretary Ren and Mr. Chen feel that this project is too risky, then don't trouble you, our Haizhou area can bear it by ourselves." ”

Ren Weifeng and Chen Yibin couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, whenever they wanted to bargain, Chen Yuqing would throw out this killer idea: If you are not cost-effective, then don't come.

During the negotiations, Bao Feiyang rarely spoke. After all, his level is a little worse, and it is not good to be too sharp on this occasion. However, the reason why Chen Yuqing spoke with confidence was because of Bao Feiyang's assurance, even if there was no provincial shipping company to join, he was confident that he would raise one billion yuan from the international financial market.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Ren Weifeng and Chen Yibin of the Provincial Shipping Company have no way to face Chen Yuqing's hand, and can only make compromises little by little.

Since it is a negotiation, of course, it cannot be achieved overnight. Whenever the negotiations were about to reach an impasse, Xu Shengjiao would speak and say two sentences. Get the negotiations back on track.

"That's it, it's not too early, I think we can't agree on these details for a while, after all, this project has just been proposed, and everyone has no preparation, especially the provincial shipping company and Haizhou City have lacked sufficient communication before. It's better for everyone to have a meal together first, contact the relationship in a relaxed atmosphere, and then talk about specific things later. Xu Shengjiao said with a smile.

Ren Weifeng immediately said: "Okay, Governor Xu's instruction is very necessary, speaking of which, the shipping company in Haizhou has not bought the ship of our provincial shipping company for several years. So I can't even find a reason to go to Haizhou, so this time I will let our provincial shipping company be the east and invite several leaders in Haizhou to taste the freshness of the river. ”

Although Chen Yuqing is a woman, she is obviously not as exquisite as Ren Weifeng, who is engaged in business, but Xue Shaohua smiled and said: "Okay, then we are not welcome today, go back to Secretary Ren and Mr. Chen to go to Haizhou, and I will invite you to eat seafood again." ”

Although Xu Shengjiao proposed to have a meal, he did not participate in the meeting, and with him present, the focus of the wine table was, of course, him, the executive vice governor, and it could not serve the purpose of allowing the provincial shipping company to communicate with the Haizhou area.

The banquet in the evening was hosted by the Provincial Shipping Company, Ren Weifeng and Chen Yibin were present, and a few more people were added, including Xue Shaohua, Chen Yuqing, Han Qiwen and Bao Feiyang, as well as Shen Rong and Jiang Han, the secretaries of Xue Shaohua and Chen Yuqing. In addition, several cadres from the Provincial Planning Commission, the Department of Industry, and other departments were invited.

For the provincial shipping company, because it is not close to the sea, its development in recent years has been severely restricted. Provincial shipping company and Tongcheng shipbuilding has been competitive for many years, the provincial shipping company people for the province put forward the provincial shipping company to move to Tongcheng proposed to have instinctive resistance, but the provincial shipping company must find a way to break the situation, it is impossible to keep trapped in Fenghu, in addition to Tongcheng, Haizhou area with a deep-water port is the best choice.

The provincial shipping company wants to go to sea, and the Haizhou region also wants to borrow strength, which is a hit-off thing, but in this process, how to strive for the greatest interests for themselves has become a matter that the provincial shipping company and the Haizhou region have to fight for. Therefore, the two sides are very fiercely arguing, but it also shows from another aspect that both sides attach importance to this matter.

At the wine table, in addition to compliments, the two sides are also expressing their views and interests in another way, and testing each other's hole cards.

After Ren Weifeng drank a glass of wine with Xue Shaohua, he said to Xue Shaohua with a slightly drunken expression: "Secretary Xue, you have made a lot of moves recently, not long ago the Malaysian delegation just left, and it is said that several investment agreements have been signed, including the oil project of Dingfeng Group Group, plus this shipbuilding project, it seems that the Haizhou area is ready to go." In addition, Secretary Xue seems to have just returned from Yanjing, is he going to talk about any big projects again? ”

Xue Shaohua smiled: "Haizhou area is located in a remote area, the development of Fenghu Lake and Tongcheng in recent years has lagged behind a lot, especially Tongcheng, our Haizhou area is in front of Tongcheng, but now it is lagging behind, even if there are one or two projects landed, the gap with Tongcheng is also all-round."
