After the college entrance examination, Kouxuan and Chen Dan went to Xucheng with him. The house returned to quiet after a few days of lively. Xiao Li's college entrance examination results came out, and there was a little difference from Shanghuai University of Technology, so he finally chose to go to Huai University for undergraduate and master's degree.

Chen Huai ran around all day and didn't feel anything during the day. Only when it was late at night did he feel that he was the only one in the huge mansion, which was a bit too quiet. At this time, he couldn't meet Zhou Yu or Xiong Daini, and even Jinzi took Chen Dan to Xucheng.

By August, not only did Xinpu Steel Plant officially receive approval from the State Planning Commission to carry out construction, major projects such as Provincial Steel and Fuji Iron Manufacturing, Changqing Group jointly invested 1.5 billion electric furnace steel projects, Meixi Development Group invested 200 million yuan in the Yangtze River Expressway, and Beijing Investment Group invested 400 million yuan in the Meipu Highway, etc., have officially started construction one after another.

The matter of Hengyang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry has also been successfully resolved.

Fengli Trade in Pingjiang City and Huaineng Group eventually accepted two 5,000-ton coal transport ships from Hengyang Shipbuilding Industry at the original price, and invested in the Zhujiang channel between Zhuxi, Donghua and Pingjiang to engage in coal transportation business.

In addition, the shipping company has also settled the 4 million yuan owed to Hengyang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry for many years.

On August 28, Hengyang Shipbuilding Industry's second coal transport ship was officially delivered to Huaineng Group for use.

On this day, Zeng Zhirong, the boss of Hengyang Ship, personally led a team to prepare a banquet at Pengyue International Hotel to thank all parties. At dusk, Xu Jian first rushed to the county government, intending to meet with Chen Huai, Zhao Tianming and others before going to Meixi to have a banquet together.

Seeing Xu Jian coming, Chen Huai threw the work at hand together and called Song Xiaojun and Wang Weicheng downstairs together.

When Wang Weicheng drove the car from the parking lot, Chen Huai called Xu Jian: "Xu Jian, go to Secretary Tao's office to take a look and ask him if he has time to go to Meixi to drink together..."

Xu Jian glanced at Zhao Tianming and saw that Zhao Tianming had no expression. He hesitated for a while before entering the building and calling Tao Jixing.

After waiting downstairs for a while, he saw Tao Jixing and Xu Jian coming downstairs together.

Tao Jixing went downstairs, Chen Huai noticed that Zhao Tianming was in a complicated mood, and he didn't want everyone to stand in front of the government building in awkward manner. He pulled Tao Jixing to take his car, Xu Jian took Zhao Tianming's car, and the two cars drove out of the county government compound.

"I thought Secretary Tao would be very busy, so I didn't have time to join us for a fun and drink with me today..." Chen Huai said with a smile.

Tao Jixing looked at Zhao Tianming's car following behind through the rearview mirror, shook his head and smiled, and said, "I am almost retired, why are you curing anger? There are so many leading cadres in the county, Zhao Tianming can be considered young and promising. It would be a pity if you don't need him in Xiapu. Besides, you would rather be a white-headed man than bully the young man poor. Just think I'm a fool and don't want to offend people anymore..."

"How can you say that? This is Secretary Tao, you are generous and don't think about the old things." Chen Huai said.

"It's an old thing. Let's clear your grudges when we meet each other. When Zhao Tianming was promoted to be the deputy county magistrate, he was only 37 years old. His future was limitless. He was also understandable because he was worried about defeating me as an old guy, but other than that, he did not do anything excessive." Tao Jixing sighed softly.

Chen Huai also felt that he knew that people like Tao Jixing had been struggling in the officialdom where people fought for half a lifetime, and any subtle grudges and disobedience would be magnified. Now it is not easy to make up for the determination to let go of this grudge.

However, Tao Jixing is pragmatic.

Tao Jixing is still one or two years away from retirement age, and he will never be promoted again.

If it weren't for all aspects that require him to stay in Xiapu's stable situation, as usual, it would be normal for him to retreat to the second line.

Zhao Tianming was only 40 years old. Although he had a gap with Tao Jixing, he had never celebrated the festival with the core figures of the Meigang Group. Zhao Tianming himself is still very capable. Even if he suppressed him, he could only be transferred to the position of deputy county and department level.

Instead of remembering a lifelong grudge, it is better to take the initiative to resolve this grudge and win the reputation of being a big belly.

Chen Huai smiled and said to Song Xiaojun: "Old Song, you are responsible for placing Deputy County Mayor Zhao down today; we have relieved the shipping company for him, so we can't spare him this time."

"County Magistrate Zhao is so drunk, I am afraid that I can't catch his position by myself." Song Xiaojun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said with a smile.

"Then you can pull a few more people; I have blood pressure problems, otherwise you guys won't have to stand up." Tao Jixing said. Since he was determined to let go of his grudges, he would no longer be unable to let go of his mother-in-law and mother.

Song Xiaojun laughed and said, "With Secretary Tao's words, I should be willing to do my best today."

********************closure

After a meal of wine, Zhao Tianming naturally got drunk, and Tao Jixing made an exception and drank the top-heavy ones and asked for help. Zhou Zhibai specially arranged a car to take them home.

Chen Huai called Xu Jian and said to him: "Xinpu Shipping Group is about to be established. You will have to make a choice in the next few days. Now the country does not support senior management of state-owned enterprises to get high salaries and directly hold shares, so if you represent Xinpu Development Group in the shipping group, your salary will be increased, but it will not be much higher. In the future, you should not be unbalanced when you see other senior executives of Xinfu Shipping Group getting high salaries. Or you simply submit a resignation report, give up the development within the party and government system, and concentrate on the management work of the Xinfu Shipping Group. The county also supports you in doing this. Of course, you want to have both. If there is any problem in the future, don't blame no one for protecting you..."

********************** The matter of integrating shipping resources into Xinpu Shipping Group has been promoted from mid-to-late July, and Huaineng and Pengyue are also being promoted.

The total shipping resources of Huaineng, Meigang and Pengyue, including county shipping companies, are nearly 70,000 tons, which is considered a large-scale shipping company in the region, but it is not enough to mention it nationwide and even internationally.

Of course, if it develops in a dispersed manner, it will be more difficult to develop into a scale.

The biggest benefit of integration lies in the rational use of human resources.

The economic situation was good in the first half of 1996, and companies such as Meigang maintained good operations. Meigang alone has made 300 million net profits so far this year to the end of July, and its annual profit is expected to exceed 500 million.

The construction of Xinpu Steel Plant mainly relies on foreign investment and bank loans, investment companies such as Meigang, Huaineng, Zhujiang, Hongji, and Zhongxin. At present, it can withdraw an additional 200 million yuan of funds and inject it into the new shipping group.

In Donghua, 200 million yuan is a big figure, but for the Ocean Transportation that Shenhuai is interested in in the future, this figure is too small to buy two large ships; if you rent a ship, you can’t even rent a 200,000 dwt.

The new shipping company can only consider leasing ships from the international bareship market and engage in the transportation of coal, iron, scrap steel and containers.

All shipping resources are converted into Xinpu Shipping Group with net assets, so that the new shipping group will be established and its net assets will reach 400 million.

After the county shipping company's 10% shares are held by Xinpu Development Group on behalf of the county government, and are out of touch with the Port Authority.

Huaineng and Meigang Association have sold nearly 140 million yuan in funds and existing shipping resources, and hold 51% (20%+31%) of the shares of Xin Shipping Group. Zhujiang Investment, Hongji Investment and Zhongxin Investment hold the remaining 29% of the shares.

The investments of Yang Haipeng and others are mainly integrated into Zhujiang Investment, and no longer hold shares in Xinshift Group alone; Pengyue Group has been engaged in shipping business for two years, and the shipping resources have a certain scale. After the integration, in addition to indirectly holding shares in Xinshift Group through Meigang and Zhujiang Investment, it also holds an additional 10% of the shares separately. In addition, financial institutions such as Yexin Bank, Bank of China, and China Development Bank have provided a total of 300 million credit lines to Xinshift Group for the development of ocean-going transportation business.

Considering that the new shipping group will focus on developing offshore and ocean transportation businesses in the future, it is headquartered in Xinpu.

In terms of comprehensive capabilities, Zhou Zhibai can shoulder the important task of the future development of Xin Shipping Group and will be mainly responsible for the operations of Xin Shipping Group.

Pengyue's business, which mainly focuses on scrap steel trade, has a ceiling for the future development, and it is difficult to have a large-scale increase in a short period of time. The development potential of Xinshishi Group is extremely great, and Zhou Zhibai is also willing to transfer his personal main energy from Pengyue to Xinshishi Group. Xu Jian will join Wang Jianmin, who is in charge of shipping in the original Pengyue Group, and will go to Xinshishi Group to serve as deputy to Zhou Zhibai.

***************************Xu Jian did not participate in the rise of Meigang and the preparation of Xinpu Steel Plant. He was just a bystander. He was involved in the integration of shipping resources to realize the strength of Meigang System more clearly.

Before this, Donghua Shipping Enterprise, headed by Donghua Municipal Port Transport Group, had an asset scale of about 400 million yuan, and it owned comprehensive businesses such as ferry, passenger and freighter transportation.

Xu Jian had hardly imagined before that which shipping company would be able to surpass the Port Transport Group in a short period of time in Donghua.

As long as the plan is based on the plan, Xinpu Shipping Group can fully utilize the credit limit of Yexin Bank and Bank of China before the end of the year, and the asset scale of Xinpu Shipping Group, which will focus on freight, will be twice that of Hong Kong Transport Group.

Relying on the construction of Meixi Port and Xinpu Port and the transportation business needs of coal, scrap steel, ore sand and other raw materials and products of the power plants under Meigang and Huaineng, the development prospects of Xinpu Shipping Group in the next three to five years will be much more optimistic than that of Hong Kong Transport Group.

Xu Jian will serve as the vice premier in charge of Zhujiang transportation affairs at Xin Shipping Group. He has two choices:

First, as a representative of Xiapu County, he entered the Xinshishi Group and retained his organizational relationship. The level could even be transferred to the full-time department level. However, wages, benefits, etc. are distributed by Xinpu Development Group. If it is separated from Xinpu Shipping Group, it can also be transferred back to the party and government system in the future. First, he will completely resign from the public office and accept the management of Xinshishi Group to be hired from the party and government system.

Chen Huai is the case with all important figures in the Meigang System, including Zhao Dong, Zhao Zhimin, Luo Qing and others, who have resigned from public office and are purely appointed as senior management companies. Of course, in addition to relatively high salary income, they can also participate in the management's holdings.

However, its status in the party and government system is no longer retained, and even the NPC representatives are restricted and cannot be regarded as the NPC representatives.

On the other hand, Hu Shuwei, Zhao Yicheng and others are purely representatives of state-owned enterprise management, with a high status, but their salary is much lower, let alone participating in shareholding.
