Chapter 1002 Guo Chengze's Reflection
The subtle situation between the Jingjing system and the Hu system is that many people will not bother with more thoughts except for Guo Chengze and others.
Take Feng Zhichu, Secretary-General of Donghua Municipal Government, for example. Apart from being more careful than before, he has no much concern about his future. Whether Xu Pei can successfully serve as the provincial party secretary will not be passed on to him.
At this time, he hoped to be the top leader in districts and counties. This only depends on Guo Chengze and whether Meng Jiansheng supported him in Donghua enough.
Of course, Feng Zhichu also knew that even if Chen Huai was transferred out of Donghua, his influence on Donghua was still deeply rooted and could not be shaken by others. Therefore, whether he could serve as the top leader in important districts and counties in Donghua could not ignore Chen Huai's potential influence.
Guo Chengze was somewhat absent-minded at the investment promotion mobilization meeting; Feng Zhichu, as the secretary-general of the municipal government and the host of the mobilization meeting, became active, and talked about many topics about economic development. He emphasized the great significance of Meigang to the development of Donghua and Huaihai Bay many times, and also looked forward to strengthening the "party alumni friendship" with Chenhuai.
Guo Chengze was still aware of Feng Zhichu's little thoughts, but he didn't care. Now the situation suddenly became subtle again. The Jingjing Department needed Mei Gang to stand on the same front with them.
Xu Pei hoped that he would take the initiative to win over Chen Huai, Song Hongjun and others, but he was a little reluctant. Feng Zhichu was able to take the initiative, which was objectively disturbing him. The longer he served in Donghua, the more he could feel the deep foundation of Mei Gang in Donghua and the strong promotion of the Huaihai Bay economy. Chen Huai's strength is far more than his arrogance and domineering.
It is the winter season again, and the big economic data this year can be estimated. Even if Donghua City’s GDP cannot exceed 100 billion this year, the gap will be small.
In addition to surpassing Xucheng in overall economic scale, it also ranks among the top ten in the country among so many prefecture-level cities in the country. It is hard to imagine that Donghua six years ago was still a place where development was lagging behind and was only at a low-level level in prefecture-level cities across the country.
However, Donghua's economic development is extremely unbalanced. The Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt, which covers a total area of less than one-tenth of Donghua City, concentrates more than 60% of Donghua's GDP.
Donghua's total fiscal and taxation this year may exceed 11 billion, but the total fiscal and taxation of the two places in Tangzha, which is directly radiated to Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Zone, will exceed 8 billion in the combined fiscal and taxation of the two places. Xicheng and Xinjin are developing better, and the total fiscal and taxation of the two places will be less than 2 billion in the combined fiscal and taxation of the two places.
Donghua has solely foreign-owned and joint venture projects in recent years, reaching as many as 1,000. Both the overall scale and number of foreign-owned and joint venture projects account for half of the total number of wholly foreign-owned and joint venture projects in the province; while Donghua's 1000 wholly foreign-owned and joint venture projects are concentrated in the Meixi-Xinpu industrial area.
Wholly foreign-owned and joint venture projects have a tax and fee reduction period of five years, so the financial and tax advantages and potential of the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt have not been fully developed - especially for corporate income tax with the largest local fiscal gains, most projects have not yet begun to be collected.
Even if there is no new progress in the industrial development of Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Zone, with the end of the tax and fee reduction period for joint ventures, the total fiscal and tax revenue can gradually increase to 12 billion or even higher with many wholly foreign-owned enterprises.
Obviously, the industrial development of the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt will not stagnate.
With the reorganization of the Xudong Railway, the Lanjiang Expressway, the Cross-Zhujiang Bridge, the East Extension Section of the Xudong Expressway are gradually being built. In addition, the application is to become a national economic development zone and a first-class port, the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Belt's advantage in occupying the core position of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone will become more and more prominent.
In order to expand the needs of refining, steel, ships, heavy industry and other industries and the development needs of Xinpu Port, the newly submitted Xinpu Port reclamation project plan is to fill 200 square kilometers of construction land eastward in the next ten years - the investment in reclamation and port projects alone will exceed 50 billion in the future.
The reclamation project in the area east of Xinpu Steel has been carried out like a fire. The second phase of Xinpu Steel, which has a steelmaking capacity of 6 million tons, has passed the approval and will officially start construction after the year.
Fan Wenzhi replaced Chen Baoqi as Secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee. Even as the most core and most important representative of interests of the Rongxin Department in the Donghua officialdom, he had to recognize the core position of Meixi-Xinpu, and repositioned the Xicheng and Xinjin areas of the Rongxin Department, which had previously focused on the development of the Rongxin Department, as the two wings of Meixi-Xinpu District.
The corresponding planning adjustments are to extend the industrial development advantages formed by Meixi-Xinpu to both wings as much as possible, and no longer suppress the development of Meixi-Xinpu in vain.
After Fan Wenzhi replaced Chen Baoqi, Rongxin's strategy adjustment in Donghua can only be regarded as a matter of identifying the current situation.
The steel industry has become a pillar industry not only in Donghua City, but also in the province.
After the completion of the second phase of Xinpu Steel, the Meixi-Xinpu Industrial Zone will concentrate nearly 60% of the province's steelmaking capacity, nearly 14 million tons, and the relevant upstream and downstream industrial chains, even if the total output value cannot exceed 100 billion, it will be almost the same.
Leaving Meigang and without Shen Huai’s approval and support, Chen Weili proposed the concept of developing a “100 billion advantageous industry” in the city, which is a joke after all.
Xinpu Refining and Chemical has been completed and put into operation for two years. Although Xinpu Refining and Chemical does not need to be explained to the local government, Xinpu Refining and Chemical has not yet been owed to the cumulative tax payment of more than one billion yuan, which makes people understand that the operation of this project is excellent.
As the construction date of Xinpu Steel Phase II project approaches, the province and Donghua City are more than expected of when Xinpu Refining and Chemical will start the construction of the second phase project.
Although Meigang has not submitted the final application documents, everyone can know that the second phase of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Engineering project between Meigang and CNOOC has entered the preparation stage, and several public project demonstration meetings have also been held.
In the first phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase I, due to the lack of construction funds, it can only be considered a half-in-one integration, and the production capacity of chemical intermediate raw materials has not been fully utilized. In the public information, Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II will make up for this defect, which means that the refining capacity of the second phase of the project will not increase, but the investment and economic benefits will double.
The investment doubling means that the investment in Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II will exceed 10 billion.
Meigang Co., Ltd. was listed as a whole, raising 3 billion yuan of funds to raise enough construction funds for Xinpu Steel Phase II (the self-provided funds only need to reach 40%). Although he didn’t know how Shen Huai planned to prepare tens of billions of construction funds for Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II, seeing the development trajectory of Meigang over the years, Meigang used to have a heavyweight partner like CNOOC in refining and chemical projects, no one would think how long it would take to launch the second phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Phase II.
Sometimes when Guo Chengze thinks about it, he feels strange. How could Song Qiaosheng want to exclude such a powerful nephew from the core of the Song Dynasty? Is it purely out of selfishness that he will support his son?
If Meigang can better integrate with Huaieng instead of splitting it, the scale of the industrial scale that the Meigang system can control in the future, with steelmaking capacity exceeding tens of millions of tons, refining and chemical production capacity exceeding tens of millions of tons, and installed power generation capacity exceeding tens of millions of kilowatts. In addition to Yexin Bank and other industries, what scale will it be?
As long as you think about the resources and relationship chain network extended by the entire industrial cluster, it is not impossible for the Song Group to grab a seat for a Politburo member in the future, grab two or three, or even compete for a place in the central leadership team.
The Hongji Industrial Investment Fund under the control of Song Hongjun, in terms of public information, the scale of the investment fund has not exceeded US$2 billion.
In terms of scale, Hongji is far from comparable to Baohe Group, which controls nearly 200 billion assets by Gu's family. However, Gu's desire for control is extremely strong. Although it has nearly ten listed companies of all sizes, its direct influence is mainly reflected in its control over Baohe listed companies. The indirect impact on Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong is more of the reputation formed by Gu's family over the past decades.
Hongji Industrial Investment Fund gathers more capital from small and medium-sized investors in Hong Kong.
The development of the Mei Steel System, the rapid growth of Hongji Industrial Investment Fund, high dividends, high profit expectations, and the active promotion of Song Hongjun in recent years, recommending Hong Kong enterprises and investment institutions to invest in Donghua, actually made Song Hongjun gain a lot of reputation among the Hong Kong Chinese business group.
Especially during this investment promotion event, most of the Hong Kong investors who will officially sign a contract with Huaihai Investment are more or less affected by Song Hongjun and Meigang. Otherwise, Governor Xu would not be so awkward. He asked him to find a way to invite Song Hongjun to attend this investment promotion event.
Guo Chengze originally thought that there would be twists and turns to ask Feng Zhichu to invite Shen Huai and Song Hongjun to participate in the investment promotion mobilization here, but he did not expect it to be so smooth. Shen Huai and Song Hongjun were very humble, and his worries became more and more profound.
Shen Huai and Song Hongjun did not take any airs at all. After all, they were in order to win Governor Xu's support to establish a provincial state-owned assets management company and promote the construction of a university science and technology park. Although this was very conducive to Governor Xu's resistance to Cui Weiping's strong advance, the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company would aggravate Shen Huai's reshaping of the provincial state-owned assets system and deeply put the indelible marks of the plum steel system within the provincial state-owned assets system.
Although the provincial party secretary, Secretary Zhong and Governor Xu, both support Shen Huai in seizing power in the restructuring and restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the province, this power is granted by the system.
Even if Shen Huai can promote and appoint some people at this time, these people are scattered; once Shen Huai is transferred in the future, Shen Huai can only maintain a certain influence within the provincial state-owned assets system.
Especially the provincial state-owned assets system is surrounded by mountains. As time goes by, after Shen Huai is transferred, his influence will be quickly weakened, or only limited to provincial enterprises.
