Chapter 472: Opening an Insurance University and Building Aircraft
On April 8, Dongxing Group and China Investment, Shougang, Bincheng Automobile Group and Harbin Automobile Group jointly invested 300 million US dollars to establish Pacific Insurance Company, which took the lead in carrying out commercial insurance business such as auto insurance in China.
At the signing ceremony, Mr. Lin Qiangsheng met Mr. Rong Yiren, who signed on behalf of China International Trust and Investment Corporation, the company's future business involves the field of finance and insurance, and CIC is also the most active one in the formation of Pacific Insurance Company!
Most of the Rong family developed in Hong Kong, and Rong Yiren was the only member of the Rong family who stayed in the mainland after the liberation, and this is a legendary figure in the business and political circles of the Republic!
Moreover, Rong Yiren, as a non-CCP person, was finally elected vice president of the state with his influence and connections in business and political circles, which is also a miracle in the history of the republic.
In the formation of the Pacific Company, Dongxing Group, as the main investor, obtained 41% of the original shares of the insurance company, and used the provisions of the law to stipulate that the shares of the insurance company must be recalculated for further financing in the future.
Moreover, in the decision-making and operation of Pacific Insurance Company, the voice of Dongxing Group is quite heavy, which is also the result that Lin Qiangsheng wants to achieve.
Dongxing Group can also be regarded as occupying a place in the insurance industry, and many financial projects that were inconvenient to do can also be started cautiously and cautiously under the guise of insurance!
The establishment of the insurance company is also thanks to Lin Qiangsheng's investment plan of 10 billion US dollars, and the agreements between Dongxing Group and several companies have been formulated and the negotiation agenda is nearing completion, but the Beijing government, as the leading party, has never replied, and Chen Xitong, as the head of the government, has not signed the agreement for some reason. The matter dragged on.
You must know that the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the space system are preparing for the launch in April, and insurance is also an important one. The first launch was not insured in the past, and the losses were very large, but in the second launch, several units attached great importance to the matter of insurance. In this case, Chen Xitong dared to stop how bold and reckless, Lin Qiangsheng even guessed that Chen might have some purpose that was not achieved, so he did not sign! But no matter what benefits Chen wants to get from this project, Dongxing will not easily agree to him. According to history, this man is insatiable and materialistic!
Lin Qiangsheng is also very troubled by this person, in his opinion, this surname Chen is a troublemaker!
Anyway, the date originally scheduled for the launch of the Dongfanghong 2 test satellite in April is approaching, and this is a national key project, and how many ministries and commissions are involved in the project, and how many leaders are watching it with their eyes in disdain.
Lin Qiangsheng also did not believe that Chen Xitong would have the courage to block the establishment of the insurance company in the face of the world's condemnation, and after the failure of the first test launch, the country suffered huge losses, and hundreds of millions of yuan were fired, and no one dared to say that the second launch would be successful. Even if astronauts work hard, there are still irresistible factors, so the establishment of an aerospace insurance mechanism has become an urgent and urgent task!
Under the repeated urging of the aerospace department, Lin Qiangsheng also mentioned it to Team Leader Zhu Rong. Now that he has served as deputy director of the State Economic Commission and deputy secretary of the party group in advance, Zhu Rong's last sentence at the top is quite effective.
In addition, Lin Qiangsheng also reflected to him several unresolved issues, when he proposed to his superiors to establish a university in Ben Cheng in 80 and 81.
At that time, Lin Qiangsheng thought that this university was completely donated by Dongxing Group, and adopted the method of self-operation to recruit outstanding experts and scholars at home and abroad to teach and give lectures, and established an international university.
At that time, the country was in the midst of a high rate of university construction. More than 100 domestic colleges and universities were upgraded to universities, and Li Ka-shing and Zhuang Shiping of Nanyang Bank also jointly funded the establishment of Shantou University.
In that wave of establishing and expanding universities, Lin Qiangsheng also wanted to establish a comprehensive college in Bincheng by the way. However, his request was not accepted by the central government, and in the end it was not even done!
It is said that the superiors are still distrustful and suspicious of private universities. Li Ka-shing can donate successfully, first, he is a Hong Kong person, has a political background, and he is the richest man in Hong Kong. Second, Shantou University, which he donated to a state, is also a national university, and it is still the people of the state who lead the teaching, while Lin Qiangsheng wants to run a private university with a completely different nature, so the central government did not agree to him at that time.
Now he is bringing up the old matter again, just thinking about taking advantage of this investment opportunity to get the university affairs done as soon as possible. Whether it is the public welfare effect or the economic effect, it is of great benefit to Dongxing Group!
The second situation that Lin Qiangsheng reflected was that a year ago, he proposed that Dongxing and Hafei establish a joint venture to establish a new aircraft factory, with Dongxing dominating 75% of the property rights of the new aircraft company and Hafei having 25% of the property rights.
This proposal has also been going around in the higher departments, and the inefficiency of the government agencies in various departments in China is outrageous!
I have studied it for a long time and have not given Lin Qiangsheng any news. He was a little anxious to wait, Dongxing even built the aircraft plant, but there was no news on it.
Lin Qiangsheng remembers that about the development of the aircraft industry, 286 once said that foreign capital can be invested in. Since the central leader has such a proposal, it proves that the aircraft industry may open its door to the Dongxing Group, and he is ready to see the attitude of the central government and the aviation department.
Deputy Director Zhu Rong did not expect Lin Qiangsheng to tell him three pending proposals at once, and one is more complicated than the other, and the formation of an insurance company is of course easier to solve, which is urgently required by the aerospace department.
Under the interrogation of his superiors, Chen Xitong reluctantly signed the text of the agreement that had been drawn up, and he didn't dare to disobey his superiors now, but he remembered the account of Dongxing Group and Lin Qiangsheng!
The key problem in the establishment of the joint venture aircraft factory is that the aviation department and the air force cannot reach an agreement on the idea, and the aviation department hopes that the country will build a relatively complete manufacturing plant with the world's advanced level, and take the introduction of foreign advanced aircraft technology as the blueprint.
Previously, they had already contacted McDonnell Douglas of the United States, and McDonnell Dalwellall also intended to provide Chinese technology with McDonnell Dalwellwells 82 airliner technology. The aviation department wanted to establish this manufacturing base in SH Hai, and SH Hai Aviation Industries also visited McDonnell Douglas. Both parties have a good desire to cooperate, and this project also has the support of many people from the central government!
These people feel that if a new aircraft factory is built in Bincheng, it will inevitably involve and disperse the existing aviation technology forces in China, which is very unfavorable to the establishment of a large aviation base, and is a serious duplication of construction, which is a waste of resources and time. They hope that the introduction of McDonnell Douglas 82 will start immediately, and the country will put the few aviation talents and resources into this work!
In recent years, the Air Force has been in contact with internationally renowned fighter jets, such as the French Mirage 2000 and the American F14, F15, and F16. But it's not because the price is beyond the capacity, or because the other party doesn't sell.
The Air Force is eager to introduce a number of advanced fighter jets to deal with the crisis in the South China Sea and the defense of northern Xinjiang, and they basically take a cold attitude towards the proposal of the Dongxing Group to build an aircraft factory, and they think that the establishment of this company basically has nothing to do with the Air Force, and it can be built or not.
Now, Lin Qiangsheng has re-submitted a few proposals to the central government, which naturally attracted the attention of the central leaders, and in 286's opinion, the private aircraft factory is also on Chinese soil, and there is nothing to be afraid of, he said this a long time ago. Since Lin Qiangsheng plans to invest tens of billions of dollars, this aircraft factory will approve it for him. 286 also wants to see what a private aircraft factory with foreign participation can develop!
Regarding Lin Qiangsheng's proposal to establish a private university, the central leadership is still unsure of whether to allow the establishment of private colleges in the country. This problem is not a problem in the developed countries of Europe and the United States, but it is an ideological issue in socialist China.
Especially in recent years, the controversy over whether to have a surname or a surname has been continuous, even if the leaders have repeatedly ordered on various occasions to put aside the controversy and look forward, but they have not been able to stop public opinion, and people with good intentions have still taken advantage of the opportunity to greatly provoke it!
Therefore, it is understandable that the issue of private universities has been shelved, and ideological and educational issues have always been the top priority of the central government!
Private universities are widely understood to be something that only capitalism has. There is no such thing as a school of this nature in socialism. If Lin Qiangsheng's proposal is agreed to now, then another fierce debate will follow, perhaps more violently than before!
So 286 is in Zhongnanhai where he works. personally summoned Lin Qiangsheng to work for him and talk about the preparation of a private university.
The old man was still dressed in a Mao suit as always, but he was dressed more casually than the state guesthouse, and he said with a smile while smoking a cigarette: "Xiaolin, your desire to donate money to build a school is very good, and the central government is also very supportive." The development of education has always been attached importance to by the state, and education is a major event related to the country and the future of the nation! It's great that you have this idea, and I'm very supportive! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Thank you for your encouragement, I have always wanted to establish a high-standard university in China, but there are still too few higher education institutions in our country and there is no academic status in the world!" Our country has a disproportionate number of higher education audiences compared to developed countries. This seriously restricts the pace of economic development of our country, I am willing to do something for the education of the country and the nation, I hope you will always support me! ”
286 kept nodding with a smile on his face, and then the secretary handed over the ashtray, he glanced at it and said to Lin Qiangsheng with a smile: "Look at it, I can't smoke one more if I want to!" The doctor asked me to pay attention to my health, and even these staff strictly demanded that I not smoke more! 286 shook his head and sighed.
He said to Lin Qiangsheng earnestly: "Your idea is very good, but you must also think long-term in doing things, you must stand high and look far, and when the moon is full, the water will overflow!" ”
286 patted Lin Qiangsheng's hand cordially and said, "Xiaolin, your donation to the central government is supportive, but the country is not ready to welcome a private university now!" What if you build a university and there are no students to come, and what if the people don't understand? Therefore, it is not that private universities cannot be engaged in but have to wait! ”
He looked at Lin Qiangsheng and said with a smile: "But let's not be so choked that we don't dare to take a step, we can jointly establish a university!" With the participation of the state, you can also better contribute to the university you founded, the country still has some foundation and strength in this regard, you have to trust our educators! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded knowingly and said, "I know Elder Deng, so how is it a joint school?" My plan is to build an international high-level comprehensive college, and to compare the height of the world's famous universities, I must recruit a group of very good experts and scholars! Of course, it would be better if the state could participate, so that I don't have to bother recruiting! ”
286 nodded and said: "Joint education, Shantou University donated by Li Ka-shing was successfully established before, and there is already experience in China, we will establish another university on this basis, and establish a board of directors like Shantou University, with the state and you personally accounting for half of it, what do you think?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng thought about it, not in the name of Dongxing Group but in his own personal participation, of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the country has a better reason to accept this donation to establish a university, and the disadvantage is that Lin Qiangsheng himself is afraid that he will lose some weight in this school.
But he is not afraid, the school he donated to build on his own territory can still let the control run, then he will simply kill himself!
Thinking of this, Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said: "Yes, I support your proposal, and this university will be run according to the experience of Shantou University!" With the participation of the state, I am more confident that this university will become a world-class university! (To be continued.) )
