Chapter 1000: The situation is stronger than people
Chen Huai and Xiong Daini stared at the traffic coming, concentrating on finding the taxi that was not carrying passengers, without any notice that Dailing and her classmates passed by on the bus.
More than a dozen taxis passed, but there were no empty cars. Chen Huai was anxious to wait, so he didn't care that he might be seen, so he drove his car out of the parking lot and drove Xiong Daini to the east end of Yanjing Road. He put her down at two alleys away from Xiong Daini's house. He drove back to his residence to pack his luggage - he would spend the next week in Hong Kong.
The investment promotion event of "Hong Kong Huaihai Week" will be held in Hong Kong for one week. The entire investment promotion group and the Hong Kong guests returning to Hong Kong together were four or five hundred. Everyone took two special planes to fly from Xucheng International Airport to Hong Kong.
Although Chen Huai and Zhou Yu were on the same special plane, and when they met again in the afternoon, Zhou Yu never looked at Chen Huai directly.
After the madness of last night, his mind had not yet struggled out of the confusion. Chen Huai was afraid that others would see some pearl silk traces, and he did not dare to "harasse" Zhou Yu. He sat with Jiang Yibin and discussed activities and project negotiations with the people in charge of the provincial state-owned enterprises participating in this investment promotion event.
Although provincial state-owned enterprises have always been the highlight of investment promotion activities, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has been solid, and the restructuring and reorganization of provincial state-owned enterprises is mainly to develop into advanced manufacturing industries with technology and capital intensiveness, as well as energy, infrastructure and other industries that master the lifeline of local economy.
Even if the provincial state-owned enterprises that have not yet officially signed projects in the past year have been negotiated, they have not accounted for much of the total investment.
Cui Weiping, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xu City Party Committee, promoted Rongxin and Baohe to join forces to undertake two key projects of the East Ring Expressway and Nanwan Lake International Expo Park. By this afternoon, it was almost spread throughout the investment group.
The East Ring Expressway and the Cross-Zhujiang Bridge have a budget investment of more than 2 billion yuan. The Nanwan Lake International Expo Park covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, and the budget investment is as high as 60,000 billion yuan. Everyone has become a foil for watching the show at once. Yesterday was quite high, but by this moment, they were almost wilted.
More importantly, the two projects of the East Ring Expressway and the International Expo Park have not heard any news before, but they happened to unveil the veil when the investment group went to Hong Kong. No one was confused, so how could they not see what was meant?
It is precisely because the candidates participating in the "Hong Kong Huaihai Week" investment promotion activity were all "chosen carefully" that the atmosphere became even more depressing. People like Ge Yongqiu, even if they are lucky enough to gloat, will not be so superficial that they express their complacent hearts.
Even though Xu Pei and others took a later special plane, everyone was depressed on this special plane and were cautious in everything they said, afraid that something inappropriate was told to others to the ears of Governor Xu Pei, which made Governor Xu Pei particularly irritable.
When we arrived in Hong Kong, it was already evening. The sunset shone in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and fell into the spacious hall, making everyone's faces full of brilliance, but they could not illuminate their emotions.
Jiang Yibin and Guo Chengze walked over to Chen Huai and asked, "Are we waiting for Governor Xu and his team to come and go to the hotel together?"
Although Chen Huai had already made an appointment with Song Hongjun, Sun Qiyi and others to meet in Hong Kong, it was not easy to leave the group and act alone on the first day of arriving in Hong Kong. Seeing Guo Chengze and Jiang Yibin were quite looking forward to him staying for the next special plane, Xu Pei and the others arrived, thinking that Li Gu should have told Xu Pei about the university science and technology and the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company in the morning.
The second special plane was dragged by them from Xucheng International Airport for nearly an hour, and they should have arrived at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport about an hour later. Everyone else took a bus to the hotel first, and Chen Huai accompanied Guo Chengze, Jiang Yibin and others to stay at the airport, waiting for Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, Li Gu and others to come on the second special plane.
The staff who planned the event in the early stage guarded the exit and sent someone to entertain Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze, and Chen Huai to sit down and rest in the cafe on the east side of the pick-up hall.
Chen Huai and the other two went to the corner of the cafe window and looked at the airport outside the window shining brightly in the sunset. Su Ping, Feng Zhichu and other entourages did not move forward, but scattered with other staff on the tables outside to avoid unrelated people sitting over to hear Chen Huai, Jiang Yibin, and Guo Chengze talking about things.
After sitting down, Jiang Yibin opened up and asked Chen Huai:
"You mentioned to Mayor Li last night that our provincial state-owned assets will undertake the construction of the University Science and Technology Park. What exactly do you think?"
When Jiang Yibin asked at this time, Chen Huai also knew that Xu Pei should have wanted Jiang Yibin to communicate with him on these issues first. Although it seemed that the trip to Hong Kong was full of time, Xu Pei was surrounded by the main leaders of various cities and cities, and he also had to contact all aspects of Hong Kong, so he didn't have time to talk to Chen Huai alone.
Jiang Yibin is at least the secretary and director of the Party Leadership Group of the Provincial State-owned Assets Office. Whether it is the establishment of an investment company to build a university science and technology park, or the implementation of the Temasek model and the establishment of a provincial state-owned Assets Office, Jiang Yibin's opinions are definitely a vote; when he talks to Chen Huai, it can also be said that the Provincial State-owned Assets Office communicates first and unifies opinions.
Chen Huai thought that Xu Pei had become governors and was also concerned about the gains and losses of each city and a place with Cui Weiping and other Hu officials. It seems that he was still more alert to Cui Weiping and others' attacks than he imagined.
Of course, promoting the construction of the University Science and Technology Park now is definitely a good thing that is beneficial to the long-term development of Huaihai Province, and its significance is not limited to the development of Nanwan Lake New District or Xucheng City.
Education is the foundation of industrial society. Although Huaihai has not been able to fully develop this advantage in the past and its economic development lags a bit, the level of higher education ranks among the top in China. In recent years, the development of Donghua and Xucheng has not encountered a talent bottle and is full of potential. It can be said that it has been the foundation for the accumulation of educational resources in Huaihai Province for decades.
Xucheng universities gathered all over the country, and there were nine national key colleges. All other key undergraduate colleges under the ministry were included, including as many as 27. Even before the colleges and universities were merged and expanded, there were more than 100,000 college teachers and students who lived and studied in Xucheng at the same time.
Although Xucheng has an expanded university scale and can accommodate tens of thousands of teachers and students in the old urban area alone, with the integration of universities and enrollment in recent years, as well as the economic development, the living and learning conditions of teachers and students have been continuously improved, Xucheng's universities are facing the current situation of resource shortage, which is first manifested in the shortcomings of the school buildings.
The total number of students in each school in Huai Technology University and Huai Normal University has long exceeded 10,000, but the campus area of Huai Technology University and Huai Normal University in the urban area is only 1,000 acres, which has long been overcrowded.
Although Huai University of Technology and Huai Normal University should be combined as early as 95 and 96, the expansion of enrollment and education development situations have been launched in Zhunan, the construction of new school concentration areas was greatly restricted at that time, and the financial resources of each university were greatly limited. At the same time, there was no sufficient estimate of the development situation of higher education in two thousand years. From the 95th, the university concentration areas launched in Zhunan have now seemed to have been blocked in traffic, insufficient investment in infrastructure, and small planned construction area, which are far from meeting the needs of rapid expansion and development of higher education in the province.
Xiong Wenbin proposed the new urban construction plan for Xucheng in 1998, and also mentioned the issue of new university concentration areas. In the newly adjusted plan, the province and Xucheng City plan to build a larger university science and technology park east of Nanwan Lake.
In the past two years, the Provincial Education Commission, together with various universities, Xucheng Urban Planning Commission and Urban Planning and Design Institute, has also produced the detailed planning plan of the University Science and Technology Park.
As the most important part of Nanwan Lake New District, as the education park of Nanwan Lake, the University Science and Technology Park plans to build a university concentration area that can accommodate 250,000 teachers and students in the future, supplemented by supporting residential, commercial and innovative industrial parks, with a total area of up to 40 square kilometers.
The initial plan was that colleges and universities undertake the construction of their respective new campuses, and Xucheng City undertake the construction of public infrastructure; in addition to the student apartment dormitory area, supporting residential and commercial areas are handed over to market development, and Xucheng City cooperates with various colleges and universities to promote the construction of innovation industrial parks.
It is said that the colleges and universities undertake the construction of their respective new campuses, but each school does not have many operating industries and has limited financial resources. For example, Huai Technology University, Huai Normal University, Huaihai Technology, Huaihai Medical University and other first-class key universities have received relatively more education bonuses, but they are mainly used for the construction of Zhunan New Campus. They have no spare time to start the construction of a larger-scale new campus in Nanwan Lake at the same time.
In fact, the construction funds for the University Science and Technology Park in Nanwan Lake New District will ultimately be based on the financial allocations of the province and Xu City Government.
In the past two years, the finances of the province and Xucheng City have been much more relaxed compared to the past, but there are too many things to make up for. How could it be possible to spend 100 billion to build a university science and technology park east of Nanwan Lake?
In fact, the entire Nanwan Lake New District, the province and Xucheng District have not been in a hurry to start construction in the past two years, and plan to wait for the further improvement of the finances. By roughly 2003, the provincial and municipal finances will be increased by 300 billion yuan each year to increase the efforts to promote the construction of the new district.
If it were other times, Xu Pei was in charge of the work of the whole province's government, there was indeed no need to compete with Cui Weiping, who was fully responsible for Xucheng's work. As the mayor of Xu, there was no need to cover up Cui Weiping's edge. The problem was that this large-scale investment promotion event, this time, the project signing contract, Xu Pei had the intention to gild himself. Cui Weiping had such a "raid", and Xu Pei was certain to embarrass him. Under Cui Weiping's "progress" against tit, if Xu Pei showed weakness, the province would probably have a series of chain reactions and changes in the situation as if he was mostly nodoctoral.
This is what Xu Pei least wants to see.
Now Cui Weiping is pulling Rongxin, Bao and Gu family are taking the lead in making moves in Nanwan Lake New District. Even if Xu Pei doesn't need to rush to react to this investment promotion, he still needs to take action as soon as possible.
The University Science and Technology Park project, whether from the construction of Nanwan Lake New District, the development scale of Xucheng New City, or the promotion of the development of higher education, culture, innovation and high-tech industries in the province, can undoubtedly surpass the construction of Expo Park and East Ring Expressway Project.
Promoting the construction of university science and technology parks is also in line with Xu Pei's identity at this time; Xu Pei can also gather more people and be proud of him, and can replace Zhong Limin as the secretary of the provincial party committee more smoothly.
However, except for some residential and commercial facilities, the University Science and Technology Park is a hard investment and cannot introduce investment capital.
In the case where the province and Xu City cannot afford much fiscal withdrawal, how can we raise the tens of billions of construction funds that need to be invested in the first phase?
Jiang Yibin stopped Chen Huai to represent Xu Pei. He wanted to ask Chen Huai, a "smart woman", how could she cook without rice?
After last night, Chen Huai had no time to think about these issues. When Jiang Yibin asked, he briefly said: "The provincial state-owned enterprises are reorganized and reorganized. The next step is to reduce their dependence on bank loans. It is more about extensive technical and capital cooperation with overseas enterprises. I estimate that even if the demand for bank loans in the provincial state-owned assets system will not drop rapidly in the next three to five years, there will be no greater growth. This actually will obtain a certain amount of construction loan for the provincial state-owned assets to undertake the construction of the University Science and Technology Park..."
After hearing what Chen Huai said, Jiang Yibin nodded convincedly. New loans from banks in the province and considerable amounts of money flowed to provincial state-owned enterprises. This is the current policy and political need to adhere to the national ownership economy as the main body.
On the one hand, the proportion of new loans flowing to the provincial state-owned assets system does not decrease. In fact, the annual new loan amount will increase by hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions according to the local economic development. At the same time, the provincial state-owned assets system controls the dependence on bank loans internally. The newly added loan amount can indeed flow to the University Science and Technology Park Holding Company established under the provincial state-owned assets system for the construction of university towns.
As for how to control the dependence on bank loans within the provincial state-owned assets system, this is Chen Huai's management and professional scope; while the provincial banks and Industry Credit Banks of several major state-owned commercial banks still have a more inclined trust in Chen Huai as a provincial state-owned assets trader, which is also a fact that Jiang Yibin has to admit.
"The provincial state-owned assets established a holding company to undertake the investment and construction of the university science and technology park. Even if the provincial finance endorsement can directly obtain a certain loan, the loan amount squeezed out from the provincial financial system every year is limited. Before the provincial and Xucheng cities have affluent finances, the provincial state-owned assets need to withdraw more funds from other places to ensure that the construction of the university science and technology park is uninterrupted," Chen Huai continued, "and in order to facilitate the overall coordination and operation of capital, there is also a need to establish a provincial state-owned assets management company..."
Jiang Yibin glanced at Guo Chengze and divested the provincial state-owned equity in Huaihai Rongtou, Dongjiang Electric, Dongjiang Real Estate, Dongshi Group, Huaihai Electric and other enterprises from various provincial state-owned enterprises and placed them in unified management under the provincial state-owned assets management company. In the future, more and more provincial state-owned equity after restructuring and reorganization, the provincial state-owned enterprises are all placed under the provincial state-owned assets management company. This can indeed be conducive to the overall coordination and operation of the provincial state-owned capital. With Shen Huai's ability and the external resources it can affect, it is indeed possible to take on the heavy responsibility of the construction of the university science and technology park...
Furthermore, the university town is a non-profit engineering project, and the construction funds invested cannot be recovered, but the bank loans used for construction must be repaid with interest.
Before the provincial and Xu city finances have grown to a certain scale, the repayment of principal and interest of university town construction loans still requires the provincial state-owned assets to make overall arrangements, which also strengthens the necessity of establishing a provincial state-owned assets management company.
Otherwise, in the future, the provincial state-owned assets group, such as the Provincial Steel, Huai Coal, Instrument and Electrical, will be required to share the principal and interest repayment of university town construction loans with various colleges and universities. Not only will the uproar, it may also cause the province's financial and financial crisis, which will make the opponent more likely to take advantage of it.
Although Shen Huai tied the University Town project with the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company and took the opportunity to expand its power, if you consider it pragmatically, you must tie this matter together to have the possibility of operation.
At the same time, just establishing a provincial state-owned assets management company will inevitably have great resistance to collecting rights from various provincial state-owned enterprises. However, if the two things are tied together, all the forces that hope to promote the start of the construction of university towns will most likely become the forces to promote the establishment of provincial state-owned assets management companies, which can greatly reduce resistance.
Chen Huai, Jiang Yibin, and Guo Chengze were sitting in a corner of the airport cafe, secretly discussing the matter.
Seeing that the next special plane was about to arrive, the staff of the investment promotion event ran over from outside, but did not come directly to disturb Chen Huai. Jiang Yibin and the others talked, but instead told them through Su Ping, director of the Comprehensive Department of the Provincial State-owned Assets Office:
"Gu Zejun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Baohe Real Estate, Ma Zhiming, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, and the heads of the Hong Kong co-organizers all came to the airport to pick up Governor Xu and the others..."
Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, Li Gu and others all took the second special plane; the first special plane Chen Huai and others had no "important people". They originally arranged to take the bus to the hotel directly, so they did not arrange any welcome ceremony.
Chen Huai had never met Gu's family before. He walked out of the cafe with Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze and others and saw that the people greeted by Hong Kong were already in the pick-up hall.
Seeing that they came out of the cafe and were greeted by Hong Kong from the airport, they also came here to welcome them.
The man in the middle is burly and looks almost 60 years old. Although this person is much different from Gu Zexiong, his face looks very similar. Chen Huai guesses that he is Gu Zejun. Although the old man of the Gu family is still here, he has been lying in the hospital for several years. Currently, the Gu family is headed by Gu Zejun, the eldest son of Gu Zhengyuan. He is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Baohe Real Estate, but also the president of Baohe Group, the parent company of Baohe Group.
The staff who arrived early, including Chen Huai, Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze, Gu Zejun and others, introduced that the large screen above the pick-up hall showed that the special plane Xu Pei and others were landing, and everyone stood in the hall to greet him.
Gu Zejun is a person with a silly speaking. He put aside his personality, just by rushing to the airport by stepping on the second special plane, he can know that he does not take Chen Huai, Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze and others into consideration, and only Xu Pei, Cui Weiping and others can do his journey to the airport to greet him in person.
After nearly a century of colonial rule, Hong Kong returned to the mainland in 1997. In fact, it actually has extremely complex and subtle psychological factors for the mainland - and from an economic perspective, Hong Kong is much more developed than the mainland, and has gradually emerged from the influence of the Asian financial crisis in recent years. Huaihai gave the outside world an impression of a mainland province with lagging development. Shen Huai looked at the staff around Gu Zejun and seemed to have a psychological sense of superiority to the poor relatives.
However, Ma Zhiming, deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, although he is a vice-provincial and ministerial official, has a kind temper and is an official of the Department of Planning and Economic Affairs. He has a good personal relationship with Xu Pei. This large-scale investment promotion event was due to his factors. He came over and talked to Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze, Chen Huai and others in a friendly manner.
However, seeing Ma Zhiming frowning slightly, Chen Huai guessed that he should also know the reason why Gu Zejun appeared at the airport to greet him.
************************************
Soon a large wave of people came out, and about two or three planes landed at the same time. Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, Li Gu and others were caught among the members of the investment promotion group and walked towards this side.
Chen Huai then saw Kou Xuan also in the crowd, leaving her mother Yu Wei for a distance, but when he saw him standing outside, he only smiled brightly and did not come over.
After all, there are so many officials in the province and the city, Chen Huai didn't know how Kou Xuan would explain their relationship to outsiders after she came. It seemed that Kou Xuan unintentionally raised her hand holding her cell phone, probably saying that she would contact her phone again.
People came and went, and they stayed in the airport pick-up hall soon after. After a brief greeting, everyone walked out of the hall.
Everyone took a bus to the hotel. Chen Huai was keeping his duty as a "deputy department-level" and did not go to Xu Pei, Cui Weiping and the others, standing behind and watching Gu Zejun and others accompany Xu Pei and the others on the first bus. He waited until the second bus came over and pushed everyone to get on the bus, but unexpectedly Yu Wei and his entourage followed from behind.
"Why did Mr. Yu squeeze the bus with us?" Feng Zhichu asked Yu Wei with a smile. He glanced at Kou Xuan and thought to himself that the mother and daughter were really beautiful. He was going to sit in the back row of Shen Huai, but knew the close relationship between Chen Huai and Kou Xuan, so he walked back and left the seat in the back row of Chen Huai for Yu Wei and his daughter to sit.
"You can ask Secretary-General Feng for questions by taking the bus..." Yu Wei smiled.
Although there were a whole team of small cars following, in this case, even Gu Zejun, Feng Zhiming and others accompanied Xu Pei and others on the bus, otherwise the question of who would take the same bus would be tormenting the staff; however, Yu Wei squeezed over to take the bus, thinking that she was worried about the threat of the cooperation between the Gu family and the Hu family to her.
"Mr. Song, will Mr. Sun and others also come to the hotel to attend the dinner today?" Yu Wei owed her body and was about to sit down and asked Chen Huai who was sitting in the front row.
Seeing Yu Wei asking about Song Hongjun and Sun Qiyi's movements, Chen Huai smiled and said, "I don't know if there is any arrangement to invite them. I just got off the plane and haven't contacted them..."
Chapter completed!
