Leaving behind a mournful Singapore, Lin Zhenhua and Chen Tian boarded the plane back to China. In order to avoid being recognized by Singaporeans at the airport and causing unnecessary trouble, Lin Zhenhua had to wear sunglasses and did not take them off until he got on the plane, which made Chen Tian gloat. Lin Zhenhua thought that maybe in the next 10 years, he would not be able to go to Singapore again, and maybe the Singapore embassy would directly refuse him a visa.

After returning to China, Chen Tianwan refused Lin Zhenhua's invitation to go to Xunyang to play for a few days, and hurried back to Beijing to report on work. As for whether he will really do a review after he goes back, Lin Zhenhua does not know. This trip to Singapore by Lin Zhenhua and Chen Tian was originally just to collect some information, but it caused an uproar because of Lin Zhenhua's wild words. Singapore's stock market has been plummeting for a week, and then it's lying there languishing and never recovering, and that's no small thing.

According to Chen Tian, the top brass generally appreciated the turmoil they had caused in Singapore this time, after all, Singapore's consistent hardline attitude toward China had already disgusted China. In addition, it is also of strategic significance for the country to be able to intervene in the Kra Canal in the name of the people, giving China one more option to go out of the Indian Ocean. Thailand has benefited the most from the Kra Canal, and the large number of commitments made to China by the Thai side in order to facilitate the Chinese government's support for the project is naturally not humane.

Lin Zhenhua returned to Xunyang alone, and according to Chen Tian's instructions, he did not take the initiative to go to the Planning Commission to discuss the issue of raising funds for the Kra Canal, and put on an appearance that he had nothing to do with himself. He believed that both the Thai side and the navy side would go to the Planning Commission to carry out activities, and there were still people who were more anxious than him. Whoever is able to endure will be able to obtain the most favorable conditions for negotiation.

Lin Zhenhua should have calmed down in Xunyang for a while. Although GCA has construction sites all over the world, dozens of branches have been opened at home and abroad. But Xunyang is still the most important base camp, and in the past two or three years, several new stalls have been opened here.

The most concerned by Lin Zhenhua is naturally the construction of Hanhua Microelectronics Company. The equipment imported from the United States has been installed and commissioned. Jiang Jie and Miao Xiaoqiong are working day and night to design and produce the first batch of industrial control chips of Hanhua with a group of young Zhuang factions with an average age of 28 years old. This batch of chips is technically speaking. It is only equivalent to the level of international chip giants such as KHN 5 years ago, but after all, it is the first batch of products of Hanhua. Lin Zhenhua has full self-confidence in the spirit of Hanhua. As long as a breakthrough of zero is achieved. It's only a matter of time before we catch up with the world.

Hanhua Automobile Company has also completed the construction, and the first batch of cars for trial production is about to roll off the assembly line. The technical team of this automobile company was brought out by Lin Zhenhua's brother-in-law Yang Tao from the design office of a large state-owned enterprise, and they are also a group of young people with strong blood. According to their own accounts, the state-owned company is obsessed with importing technology from abroad, and the engineers in the design office have to sign off on foreign experts even to change the shape of a headlight, and most of the time. Foreign experts refused to sign this letter.

Unable to bear it, these people collectively "defected" under the leadership of Yang Tao. GCA accepted them with open arms, granting them carte blanche to design their own brand of cars. How can these young people, who have long been suffocated, not play with their lives, and in less than a year, they have come up with a full set of design drawings. In addition to the engine and gearbox that need to be purchased for the time being, the rest can be solved by themselves. However, Yang Tao also patted his chest and assured his brother-in-law that within two years, the two major problems of engine and gearbox would be absolutely solved.

Hanhua Group itself is engaged in equipment manufacturing, and Hanhua can provide almost all the complete equipment for automobile production. The Xunyang Municipal Government has also given strong support to this project, asking people to give people and land to land, so almost at the same time as the design of the new car is completed, a domestic leading and international first-class automobile production line has also been completed. In addition to the traditional fertilizer and petrochemical industry, Hanhua Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd.'s business is also getting bigger and bigger, and it also involves pharmaceutical chemicals, fine chemicals, coal chemicals and other fields. Especially for equipment such as coal liquefaction, a set of output value of billions is definitely a huge profit. Equipment like this, is not which company wants to do it can be made, just a few high-pressure forgings, there are few in China can do it, which needs to be processed under the large hydraulic press, the barriers on this equipment, so that countless competitors are discouraged.

Lin Zhenhua walked back and forth in various branches, listening to the executives of each company introduce to him the business situation of the year, technological innovation, etc., and felt like an old farmer looking at the harvest of crops. This is all the country he fought down, and now it is very large-scale.

Lin Zhenhua waited in Xunyang for more than two months, and finally waited for Huang Gang of the State Planning Commission, who made a special trip to discuss the matter of the Kra Canal with Lin Zhenhua. Huang Gang dragged on for more than two months, not because he was more patient with Lin Zhenhua, but because there were many details that needed to be implemented for such a major event, and some of them were still relatively sensitive policy issues that needed to be discussed and decided in repeated meetings. Now, the country's overall idea of the Kra Canal project has been clear, and Huang Gang personally went to Xunyang to meet Lin Zhenhua.

"Mr. Lin, you are moving your mouth in Singapore, saying that you want to build a Kra Canal, but let us people run and break our legs, tell me, how to compensate me for my losses?" In Lin Zhenhua's office, Huang Gang started like this with a smile.

Lin Zhenhua pretended to be surprised and said, "Won't it? Director Huang, I'm just joking with Jirapeng, how can a small business like Hanhua start building such a big thing as the Kra Canal? There must be some misunderstanding in this. ”

Huang Gang widened his eyes and said: "Mr. Lin, you are not right, you have no jokes, how can such a big industry under your Mr. Lin be a golden mouth, how can it be a golden mouth, how can there be a reason not to say it?" Now that we have negotiated with the Thai side, you say it's a joke, isn't this an international joke? ”

Lin Zhenhua spread his hands: "Then there is no way, our Hanhua is also very tight on funds now, a Kra Canal is 20 billion US dollars, how can we get it?" Since the state and the Thai side have already reached talks, it is simply up to your State Planning Commission to allocate funds to repair the situation, and our country is also rich in money anyway. I don't care about this mere 20 billion. ”

"Count you ruthless." Huang Gang confessed that he had been working in state organs for a long time. Have become accustomed to speaking very seriously. For such a ridiculous and bickering thing, he is by no means Lin Zhenhua's opponent. He arched his hand to Lin Zhenhua and said, "Mr. Lin, don't embarrass me." You know very well that if the state can come forward directly to build this canal. It won't wait until today. Now that everyone wants you to come forward to organize this investment, what do you need help from the state, just say it. Before coming. Our director has already explained it. All requests from Hanhua, as long as they are not illegal and undisciplined, can be agreed. ”

"Won't it?" Lin Zhenhua was really surprised this time, "Is this canal so important?" How can the country promise me such a big pie? To be honest, I can't even think of anything to ask for. ”

Huang Gang said: "Our director said that Hanhua is the pride of the national industry. We, the Planning Commission, should persistently support Hanhua. Even if there is no Kra Canal, if Hanhua has any requirements. The Planning Commission will also be satisfied to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, please rest assured that Mr. Lin should be reassured at this point. As for the Kra Canal, it is indeed of great significance to our country, so I have to ask Mr. Lin to worry a lot. Hearing Huang Gang say so sincerely, Lin Zhenhua was embarrassed to joke anymore, he asked: "Huang Gang, what kind of considerations does the country have for the construction of this canal, you give me a thorough understanding." ”

Huang Gang said: "This canal is of great significance for improving the safety of our country's ocean transportation. The meaning of the state is that control of the canal must be in our own hands, so that no one else will interfere with us under various pretexts, and this must be maintained. ”

"That's not a problem." Lin Zhenhua said, "I have already agreed with Jirathorn that if we can't get a controlling stake, we won't invest, and I don't believe that Thais can still get money from other channels." ”

"Being able to do that, nothing else matters. There are several departments that have put forward two other requirements, and I will also tell you here that it is better if you can win it, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it, don't lose it because of small things. Huang Gang said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Tell me about it, if the impact is not big, I think Jila will agree." ”

"First, after the completion of the Kra Canal, the Canal Zone will become a global investment hotspot, and the relevant departments hope that the Thai side can provide convenience and preferential treatment for Chinese enterprises to invest in the Kra Canal Zone, which is also the meaning of the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." Huanggang Road.

"That's no problem at all." Lin Zhenhua took care of everything, "During the construction of the canal, I first asked Jilapeng to set aside a few pieces of land for us, and we first got the right to use it, and others couldn't fight for it in the future." ”

What Lin Zhenhua did not tell Huang Gang was that Hanhua's decision-making team had already considered that the industrial land he had obtained in the future would be sold at a price, and that the transfer of land use rights alone would be able to make up a large part of Hanhua's investment in this project.

Huang Gang knew that Lin Zhenhua had such ability, he nodded, and said: "The second is that some departments hope to consider the construction units from China to the greatest extent when bidding for the project. A canal project of this size is also very beneficial for training our construction team. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "This is even less of a problem. To be honest, I really don't feel at ease when it is handed over to the construction teams of other countries, the construction period is long, the cost is high, and the amount of money is not enough for them to waste. I have already figured out that not only the construction should be undertaken by Chinese enterprises, but also all engineering equipment and port equipment procurement must also be given priority to Chinese enterprises.

Xie Youshan, the boss of Xunyang Port Machinery, has been looking for me several times during this period of time, saying that if the port equipment uses their company, he can give me a discount on the price. ”

"That's exactly how it should be." Huang Gang said, "The construction experience of large-scale canal projects, as well as the equipment manufacturing experience of large-scale canal projects, are very rare for us. If we can gain this experience from this project, then we can provide a better return on investment. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Thailand can't provide these equipment by itself, and their construction team has limited capacity, so they won't fight with us on this issue." It is mainly the companies of other countries, especially Japan and South Korea, that need to be guarded against. In this regard, Jiraton and I should be able to reach a tacit understanding. ”

Huang Gang said: "In this way, there is no problem, and the state can approve this cross-border investment case at any time." The next step is to see how you raise the funds and in what name you want to invest them in. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "I have communicated with some friends who are interested in investing in this question, and what they mean is to set up a Kra Canal Investment Company to raise funds in the form of private placement. But in this way, it needs to be approved by the state, otherwise this is illegal fundraising, such a large amount, but it is appalling. ..., Huang Gang said: "This problem has been solved, you report it, and the relevant departments can approve it immediately, which is a special case." However, in terms of the use of investment funds, the state still has to supervise, this is not a matter of trust or distrust, but the amount is too large, in case of some risks, it will affect social stability. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "The actual amount of money that needs to be invested is about 6 billion US dollars. I am sure that the investment in the entire canal will be controlled within 10 billion US dollars. During this period of time, I communicated with many friends in the commercial field, and everyone is interested in investing in this project, and I estimate that it will not be difficult to raise 6 billion. ”

Huang Gang said: "Then I know in my heart." Before coming, the leader also told me that if you have difficulties in fundraising, the state can also consider providing some in an alternative way. I think this is unfounded, but it is not difficult for you Hanhua to raise $1 billion, right? At present, you are the most abundant cash flow of domestic enterprises. ”

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "On the contrary, we are now very short of cash flow. You see, we've launched microelectronics companies and automotive companies for some time. Especially for microelectronics projects, this is simply a bottomless pit, how much money is smashed into it can not hear a sound, and we are now short of money. ”

"Isn't your microelectronics project already in production? I've heard that your first chips are coming out soon. Huang Gang was surprised.

Lin Zhenhua said: "It can only be said that the first phase of our project has been put into operation, and we still have the second and third phases, which require a large amount of capital investment, so we really have something we want to trouble the Planning Commission to help us solve." ”

"What's the matter?" Huang Gang asked.

"We want to go public." Lin Zhenhua said.
