Vice Premier Wu Yongtai threw out such a new plan for state-owned and private enterprises, and soon received positive feedback from Cai Siqiang's side, and Vice Premier Wu was determined and began to let go of the African development plan. )

He asked his think tank team, together with Professor Yuan Hongfa of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, to further improve this plan and sort out a more perfect plan, and after sending it to the No. 1 and No. 2 chiefs, the two bigwigs had no opinions, and agreed in principle to adopt this new method to solve the problem of funds and operations for the large-scale development of Africa's resources.

Although these two bigwigs also know that this is equivalent to opening the floodgates, there will definitely be some new problems in the future, so that private capital will have more right to speak, but compared with the benefits of this grand strategy, they believe that these problems are not worth mentioning, and there will always be new ways to solve them.

Therefore, Vice Premier Wu quickly submitted the plan to the agenda of the State Council's office meeting. As expected, as soon as this plan was thrown, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and other core relevant departments jumped out, listing a lot of reasons for opposition, which aroused questions from other powerful figures in the State Council, but because this plan has the principle of agreement signed by the first and second leaders, although there are many criticisms, in the general direction, these people still cannot be overturned.

In addition, Professor Yuan's paper is well-founded and his theoretical level is also quite influential in the circle, so after a series of fierce bargaining, the office meeting approved in principle a new draft that has been revised again, and is limited to the specific environment of Africa's large-scale development as a pilot project.

This can be regarded as a practical application of the theory of crossing the river by feeling the stones. Vice Premier Wu, who was exhausted by the toss, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after the draft was passed. Because this matter has finally settled, it will not seriously affect his next plan. The next step is to see how the SASAC and the NDRC formally negotiate with the private capital led by the SAL to reach a framework agreement for cooperation.

It's just that Vice Premier Wu was still happy too early. When the matter was transferred to the specific offices below, for the two powerful departments of the National Development and Reform Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, what they originally wanted to seek was to give the state an absolute controlling stake in the development of Africa, so that they could fully control the big fat meat of Africa's resource development.

Now they are forced to become a relative controlling shareholder, of course, they are also trying to make the share of state-owned assets as much as possible, and seek greater control in the company in the future, so as to reach out to this big fat in the future.

However, where is the negotiation team of private capital for the large-scale development of Africa composed of Cai Siqiang and Lao Li's family so easy to get along with now, in the future large-scale development of Africa, since the private capital has to bear most of the capital contribution, of course, there must be considerable protection in terms of interests, so they have no room for concession on the share structure and control.

This is the key to everyone's vital interests, who dares to give it up easily. What's more, the current negotiation results are mainly attended by representatives of several large enterprise groups, and more capital must be absorbed in the future, if this framework agreement can not make private capital feel profitable and secure, Cai Siqiang cannot use this framework agreement to find enough private capital to invest, and finally let this matter fail.

For the huge amount of private capital accumulated in the private sector, which is calculated by tens of trillions, if there is a suitable investment opportunity, it will naturally stimulate the enthusiasm of these capital holders to participate, just like the last large-scale development of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. But the premise is that it is profitable, and the profit-seeking nature of capital shows that it can only be effectively mobilized under this condition, so if this new company has only become a shell with a fund-raising function, then how can those holders of private capital invest such a huge amount of money to let a group of bureaucrats control it.

Who doesn't know what state-owned enterprises have been made into by those bureaucrats, if it weren't for the privilege of monopoly operation, how many state-owned enterprises would have survived? Therefore, if no changes are made in this regard, these capital holders would rather not wade into this muddy water, lest the chickens and eggs will be defeated.

Cai Siqiang refused to give in, and the bureaucrats on the side of the National Development and Reform Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission naturally had no reason to make concessions, and they were not in a hurry to do so anyway.

On the one hand, Vice Premier Wu, who originally thought that a major event had been accomplished, was anxious, because time waits for no one, and after China signed a strategic cooperation agreement on comprehensive economic development with Tanzania, it has successively signed strategic cooperation agreements on mineral resources development with Zambia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and other countries.

Moreover, China promises that more than billions of dollars will soon be invested in the industrial chain related to the development of mineral resources in these countries, creating tens of thousands of new jobs for local people and boosting local economic development.

It can be said that in the process of tug-of-war negotiations between Cai Siqiang and the National Development and Reform Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Vice Premier Wu has written a lot of blank checks.

After the first week, Vice Premier Wu endured it, after all, he did not directly manage key departments such as the SASAC and the National Development and Reform Commission, and his prestige in the State Council, although greatly increased due to the fruitful Africa plan, is very likely to become a regular in the future. But after all, he is still only the third person, and many things cannot be decided.

However, after the second week, there was still no progress, and Vice Premier Wu could not bear it anymore, so he called the heads of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission to the office.

"Director Huang, Director Sun," although Vice Premier Wu was as anxious as a spark, he still greeted the two directors warmly with a calm and breezy look on his face, "I invited the two directors over today, because I want to communicate with the two directors first." ”

"Since Zhōng Yāng deployed the strategy of cooperative development of African resources, now we have signed a series of strategic cooperation agreements on the development of mineral resources with Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and other countries. Therefore, I invited the two directors over today, that is, to sum up how we can start to implement the new strategic deployment plan, sort out the timetable of manpower and capital investment steps, and strive to come up with an implementation draft as soon as possible, so that we can meet next week. Vice Premier Wu's remarks did not smell like fireworks, as if they were a trivial matter.

However, in the ears of the two directors, it was like an ancient well prospering waves, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, which is no different from Vice Premier Wu expressing his great dissatisfaction with them and issuing an ultimatum-style jǐng in person: either reach a cooperation framework agreement with the private capital negotiators and establish a new company as soon as possible; Either they will find funds and let the national brand implement the mineral resources investment and development agreements signed with African countries.

In short, Vice Premier Wu asked them to solve the problem of funds as soon as possible. It's just that these things are their own business, and they can't find a reason to shirk if they want to. Of course, they can also find all kinds of reasons to quibble now, but it is useless, if they really want to do this, Vice Premier Wu will take the opportunity to bring this issue to the office meeting publicly, anyway, the communication at the bottom has also been done, even if these two directors have their own backs, if the first and second leaders know that they are dragging their feet on this strategic issue, then it will be very sad.

"Vice Premier Wu, we will try our best to speed up the progress of the negotiations with private capital, but it is really very difficult in one week, two weeks, within two weeks, we will strive to negotiate a result with private capital."
