"Before, when integrating the Beiguo rare earth concentrate plant, the ZF of Baiyun Obo mining area also had many questions and hesitated, but when the local leaders saw the results of the reform, they also took the initiative to change their thinking, and even Leng Ziyue, the secretary of the mining area, also took the initiative to combine the development of the rare earth concentrate industry with the local railway freight double-track development plan......

Through the change of Leng Ziyue's thoughts, Zhong Bai explained in simple terms that the other party did not pay much attention to it at the beginning, and then took the initiative to find himself to coordinate the construction of the railway double line, and this is also the necessary material conditions for rare earth concentrate to be transported to the future export of Qiongzhou Island Small Free Trade Zone!

"Xiao Zhong, I completely understand your thoughts, and I also believe that your plan is a forward-looking and far-sighted plan!" Wei Zhengguo raised his head and said seriously: "However, I can only help you explain this plan to the leaders of the Industrial Bureau at most. In addition, the general manager of Baifeng Group, I think he is also very willing to contribute to the development of the national rare earth industry, but I want to emphasize that the infrastructure of our Qiongzhou Island is not as weak as the northern provinces, in fact, it is very weak, the funding gap in this area is very large, and the ability of a single private group to follow up is also limited, I am afraid it will ......"

This worry is normal in Zhong Bai's opinion, after all, Wei Zhengguo is a retired director in 1983 and not a retired director in 2020, and it is not easy for him to understand that small free trade zones play an important role in Zhong Bai's rare earth strategy.

Seeing that Wei Zhengguo finally agreed, Zhong Bai breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you can tell the leaders of the Industrial Bureau, I will visit them in the next two days to win their support." As for Baifeng Group, Dongfeng will also make every effort to support the establishment of a small free trade zone! ”

Yu Dongfeng finally encountered an opportunity to speak by himself, and he said: "Please rest assured, leader!" ”

Although it is only five words, this is the meaning of his appearance, after all, the effect of this kind of words will be greatly reduced when Zhong Bai says it, and how Yu Dongfeng said it is also the example of taking out funds to build a double-track tunnel before, so the credibility of his statement has been greatly increased.

When watching Zhong Bai and Yu Dongfeng go out, Wei Zhengguo even felt a little unreal for a moment.

He asked himself in his heart, these two young people, especially that Zhong Bai, have such a huge plan to establish a small free trade zone, involving many countries, not to mention all the domestic preparations, really...... Can you do it?

But in the next two days, Wei Zhengguo understood what it meant to be impossible to do it in Zhong Bai, only unexpected!

……

Under Wei Zhengguo's introduction, Zhong Bai and Yu Dongfeng first went to visit Gan Quping, the director (department level) who is currently the head of the Industrial Bureau of Qiongzhou Administrative Region.

Gan Quping, who has been a leader in the Qiongzhou Industrial Bureau for seven years, is not a native but from the northern province of Xishan.

Gan Quping was still a little surprised that the old deputy director, who retired during the Spring Festival, brought a young man to the unit to look for him.

After all, since Wei Zhengguo's retirement for more than a year, except for the occasional meeting of veteran cadres who will attend, Wei Zhengguo has hardly taken the initiative to make any contact with the unit in the rest of the time.

Gan Quping still wondered in his heart, what is going on today, could it be that the sun is coming out in the west?

"Old Wei, come, sit!" Gan Quping happened to be on duty today, and while greeting Wei Zhengguo, he asked, "Who are these two young comrades?" ”

Wei Zhengguo said straight to the point: "This is Zhong Bai, section chief of the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry, and now he is transferred to the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group as a member. The other is the general manager of Baifeng Group, Comrade Yu Dongfeng. ”

"Hello Director Gan! Just call me a little bell. Zhong Bai shook hands with each other warmly.

This operation made Gan Quping a little unresponsive, although he subconsciously shook hands with Zhong Bai, but his face was still confused.

Gan Quping asked suspiciously: "What are you doing for ......?" ”

It stands to reason that a small section chief went to meet an official equivalent to the director of the industrial department of another province, and Gan Quping should take some shelves, but because Wei Zhengguo reported Zhong Bai's title of "member of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group" as soon as he came up just now, Gan Quping was very cautious.

Now it was Wei Zhengguo's turn to appear, and he told Gan Quping in detail about the small free trade zone that Zhong Bai was at home and described by himself today.

This statement was said for half an hour, and Zhong Bai, who was the proposer, became the person who supplemented the explanation next to him, and he would stand up in time to answer the key links that Wei Zhengguo did not remember or explained in detail enough.

After listening, Gan Quping's reaction really did not surprise Zhong Bai's expectations, only to see him frown and say, "Xiao Zhong, your idea is very wild!" However, it doesn't seem that there are any documents down yet, right? Besides, it's still the Spring Festival......"

Therefore, the reason why Qiongzhou Island developed very slowly before it was established as a separate province and a special economic zone has a lot to do with the lack of emancipation of the minds of the local comrades.

They are always accustomed to waiting for their superiors to issue documents and hold meetings before taking action, and they do not have any prior planning, let alone the cross-era idea of a small free trade zone.

"It's true that there are no clear instructions yet, so I'm just one step ahead." Zhong Bai patiently persuaded him: "This plan is an important step related to the transformation of the national rare earth concentrate industry, and I hope that Director Gan can help us talk at the local level, and bring me to talk with the leading comrades of the Planning Commission." ”

The reason why Zhong Bai went around in such a big circle, first looking for Wei Zhengguo and then Gan Quping, was because he had a black eye on Qiongzhou Island, and his personal connections were equal to zero.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, do you have a written report here?" Gan Quping obviously didn't want to let go.

"I don't have any ready-made ones, but if I had to get them, I could make them in a day. The key is that you pull the line. Zhong Bai replied bluntly.

Gan Quping's tone obviously changed: "It takes you a day to get a written report?" Comrade, this is no child's play! You just said that you need at least 20 square kilometers of land to build this small free trade zone, not to mention the funds, that is certainly not a small amount! ”
