Together with Sha Zhengyang, there were executive vice mayor Lei Shiqun, deputy mayor Lu Jianshi, municipal government mì shū cháng Jiang Shengkuan, municipal investment promotion bureau director Zhao Yuanhai and several other staff members.

The scale is quite high. The mayor, the executive vice mayor and a deputy mayor in charge, are rare. Especially for investment promotion projects, generally speaking, the deputy mayor in charge takes the lead first, and then basically speaking, it is more introductory. The mayor or executive vice mayor comes forward and finally decides the board.

Such things are directly at the highest level as soon as they come up, and it also shows that Zhongzhou is determined to win.

The name Lu Jianshi is quite poetic, but in fact he is a big and thick man, and he can't tell at all. He was originally the assistant mayor, and this time he was elected as deputy mayor.

When Lu Jianshi learned that he was about to encounter such a big project when he took office for the first time, he was undoubtedly a little excited.

10 billion investment has only been heard of, and it is in other brother provinces and cities. As of now, in the entire plain province, except for railway and road infrastructure projects such as water conservancy and railways, industrial projects have never said that they can invest more than 10 billion in a single project, and even central enterprises have not.

Lu Jianshi felt that he was lucky, but the premise was that he wanted to win the project. If he couldn't, or if he failed in the end, he would become the most unfortunate person and could be regarded as the scapegoat.

The headquarters of Oriental Hope Group is in Lujiazui, Pudong, and the group took the Coaster from the Provincial Government's Shanghai Office.

Make an appointment in advance, and having an acquaintance is easy to do. Ning Yuechan and Mr. Liu of the other party have already met. They have a short time to receive the Zhongzhou party and have to hold a banquet at Jinmao Junyue to entertain Sha Zhengyang and his party at noon, which is full of sincerity.

The meeting with Oriental Hope Group went smoothly, and the other party was very enthusiastic, and the negotiations lasted for more than an hour.

The other party was also very grateful for the invitation from Zhongzhou, saying that he would seriously consider the conditions proposed by Zhongzhou, and would send a team to Zhongzhou to inspect the investment environment within one month, but he did not discuss other matters of the project. After all, this is the first time we met, and both parties should be considered a bottom-line contact.

Lei Shiqun, Lu Jianshi, Jiang Shengkuan and others all felt that the talk was good. Mr. Liu personally received and presided over the talks, and they also talked a lot, but Sha Zhengyang's feelings were not very good.

This is his intuition, which tells him that Mr. Liu should not have much interest in Zhongzhou’s invitation, or that he has not been truly included in the scope of their big project. The inspection for a month is just a routine procedure. Maybe they can cooperate with projects in the future, but this time it is not.

Either Oriental Hope Group has already negotiated with one party and no one else has any chance, or Oriental Hope Group does not agree with the conditions of Pingyuan Province and Zhongzhou City and is directly excluded. Of course, it will not be revealed on the surface, which is Sha Zhengyang's feeling.

The lunch was also very enjoyable, and the guests and the host were happy, but Sha Zhengyang felt even worse. In fact, by this time, Lei Shiqun, Jiang Shengkuan and others also had some vague feelings, and they felt that Zhongzhou would find it difficult to get this aluminum-electric integration project from Oriental Hope Group this time. Perhaps Oriental Hope Group will consider other investment projects in the future, and this can be seen from the certain apology attitude shown by the other party when they came to toast.

It was originally an initial contact, and the people were having a feast for a while and showed guilt. What that means, you can tell without asking.

Sha Zhengyang also drank a few glasses of wine, and he was a little drunk, but he knew very well that he was very calm and sober, but he was about to return home in a bad mood for the first time, which made him feel a little uncomfortable or difficult to accept.

At the end of the dinner, both sides said goodbye. Sha Zhengyang held Mr. Liu's hand and suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, I am a straight-hearted person. Well, I don't like to go around the corner. I want to ask Mr. Liu to give me another half an hour. I will talk to Mr. Liu alone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the personnel on both sides were a little surprised, which was not in line with the rules.

From the perspective of enterprises, it may be better. After all, Oriental Hope Group is a private enterprise, and from the perspective of Zhongzhou, this is somewhat contrary to the regulations. This kind of separate talks is unproven and it is easy to give people a handle.

But Sha Zhengyang knew that if the separate dialogue with Mr. Liu could not be restored, then Zhongzhou would basically be eliminated in this aluminum-electric integration project.

I was a little surprised. After all, it was a decades-old lake. Mr. Liu didn't say much, "Mayor Sha and I also felt like we had a hit on it at first sight. Of course, we welcome it, please."

Just at Jinmao Junyue, a reception room was arranged, and Sha Zhengyang and Mr. Liu sat alone.

"Mr. Liu, my previous actions were a bit abrupt. Well, what do you think? Intuition tells me that if we just left like this, Zhongzhou might have missed this project of Oriental Hope Group. I think this is a huge loss for both of us, so I try to try it last. Please rest assured that no matter whether this time is successful or not, the doors of Pingyuan and Zhongzhou will always be open to Oriental Hope Group, and we warmly welcome Oriental Hope Group to come to us to invest and do business."

Sha Zhengyang also knew that it would be meaningless to say something polite at this time, so he simply made it clear.

"Mayor Sha is so serious. Zhongzhou's conditions are actually good. Oriental Hope Group is very willing..."

Sha Zhengyang interrupted Mr. Liu and waved his hand: "Mr. Liu, there are only two of us here, so there is no need to hide anything. Zhongzhou is not very good in terms of software and hardware conditions. Well, many provincial capital cities along the coast are better than Zhongzhou, and some ordinary cities in the inland may also have better resources and policies to show, but I think this may not be the main one."

"Oh?" Mr. Liu was finally moved, "I hope to hear the details."

"The day before yesterday, Mr. Ning had a conversation with me, and talked about the aluminum-electric integration project of Oriental Hope Group. I said that for private enterprises like Oriental Hope Group, other factors and difficulties can be overcome, and they can even be said to be not a problem. The key lies in policy risks. Mr. Ning said that from the central policy to local will, they all support and welcome. I said that this is only on the surface now. The aluminum industry is not as good as the feed industry or the food industry. The national level supports private capital to enter these light industry fields. However, in the heavy chemical field, perhaps the national policy is open, but this involves the original interest pattern that will be broken, and new entrants and vested interests such as hé píngheng?"

Sha Zhengyang's eyes gradually became fierce, "Central enterprises have always been dominant or even monopolistic in this field. Now you have to enter the market suddenly and have to share the pie. Even from a policy perspective, this is OK, but the question is who will be willing to be divided into one of their own interests? Even if this kind of competition may be beneficial to the development of the entire industry."

Sha Zhengyang's words did not impress the other party. Since he was considering joining the game, he would have been well prepared for such a large project.

"Thanks to Mayor Sha for his blunt advice. I admit that you are right. Oriental hopes that the biggest risk of this aluminum-electric integration project is not capital, technology, or policy, because from now on, it is not a problem. The key is that our Oriental hope group, as a private enterprise, enters this risk that may have brought about by the uncertainty that has always been brought about by the control field of state-owned enterprises."

Mr. Liu's eyes flashed with wisdom. After decades of storm, he had already made him calmly deal with anything he faced.

"Even I can't predict what changes will happen when Oriental Hope really enters the market in the future. None of us can predict. Now Oriental Hope and I have also contacted many people, from official senior management to collaborators in this field, including some strategic partners of Oriental Hope. They are all optimistic and believe that high-level policies are supported and financial institutions are optimistic. To be honest, we have also made careful considerations, especially from some risk nodes that we think may exist, such as environmental protection, such as transportation, approval procedures, etc., we have made careful preparations for the worst. I have prepared for this for 8 years, so..."

Sha Zhengyang smiled, leaned on the sofa, shook his head slightly, "Mr. Liu, I know you have indeed made very thorough considerations and preparations, but I think you may not have enough. You have really reached that step, and how to combine it with the national policy situation, I am afraid you will face risks that you can't imagine. In all aspects, you should know that I am a person, I never speak for nothing,..."

Of course, Dongfang Hope has done a thorough investigation and learned about Sha Zhengyang, and it can even be said that it is no less familiar with Yang Tiancheng's investigation of Sha Zhengyang than Yang Tiancheng.

When Ning Yuechan called Mr. Liu, they had already thought of something. After all, the relationship between Sha Zhengyang and Dongfanghong Group is well known, so they had a comprehensive understanding of Sha Zhengyang. Hanqi Toyota, Hanhai Semiconductor, Huawei and Foxconn entered Handu, and there was a shadow of this person behind it.

This person started in Wanzhou, but he was quite admired by senior officials, especially his outstanding performance in Changhe Group, which made him enter the high-level vision. Mr. Liu even heard from one channel that a certain zhōng yāng lǐng dǎ, who was in charge of economic work, saying that he was the best among the young generation of cadres with an international perspective and profound analysis and judgment ability.

His performance in Handu even made him jump up, so he would go directly to Zhongzhou to serve as mayor.
