pinnacle of power

Liu Qingyu said bluntly: "With absolute power, there will be absolute freedom! Especially in areas where interests are concentrated like ports, if we in Luming City absolutely control and operate them, then I'm sure, This place will definitely become a breeding ground for corrupt officials. At that time, businessmen will be different. Although businessmen pursue profits, they also pursue efficiency. Because of this, businessmen are extremely repelled by employees' corrupt behavior, so their nature will be Find a way to prevent employee corruption. Therefore, the management of our government departments on the port must focus on service and supervision. We must ensure that there will be no violations of laws and regulations during the commercial operation of the port. To ensure the healthy operation of the entire port, we must Do a good job in all kinds of supporting commercial services, so as to ensure that the port is always in a healthy operating state, so as to ensure the continuous profitability of the port. At the same time, as the major shareholder of the port, the more profits the port earns, the higher the fiscal revenue of our Luming City Therefore, I think this model should be the guiding model for our Luming port construction.”

After Liu Qingyu finished speaking, Zeng Zhentian immediately shook his head and said: "I disagree with Mayor Liu's opinion. Although the government's direct investment does have many disadvantages, it is the only way to ensure that state-owned assets will not be lost. Only in this way can the country and the government have absolute control over this project.”

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zhentian looked at Shen Hongfei and said, "Secretary Shen, what do you think?"

Zeng Zhentian knew Shen Hongfei quite well, and he knew that Shen Hongfei's thinking was relatively conservative, so he would definitely not stand on Liu Qingyu's side, because Liu Qingyu's plan seemed a bit radical.

But what Zeng Zhentian didn't expect was that when Shen Hongfei finished speaking, he was completely depressed.

After Shen Hongfei heard the speeches of Liu Qingyu and Zeng Zhentian, he frowned and said: "Both of your plans have their own disadvantages and advantages, but I don't agree with your plan. With the deepening of the reform, we should give full play to the role of the market in economic construction. Therefore, I suggest to learn from the successful experience of the UK and Hong Kong, and adopt the mode of private enterprise investment and financing. The British government has always insisted on the port investment plan On the one hand, there is no monitoring and no participation. Whether it is waterway facilities or port equipment, the country does not participate in investment. All projects in the port are solved through self-raised funds, so British ports have also completely adopted a self-financed management method. Through this method Port construction. Their resources come from the following sources: first, the port's own profits; second, through bank loans; third, independent stocks.

The advantage of this port investment and financing model is that it has high economic benefits, and most ports can achieve profitability.The disadvantage is that the investment and financing characteristics of the port are not fully considered in the construction. Many ports with poor economic benefits have insufficient construction motivation. Relying solely on private enterprises and private hot money also has certain restrictions on the sustainable development of the port.But I believe that as long as our project is announced, there will definitely be many investors coming to invest.So, we don't need to worry about funding at all. "As soon as Shen Hongfei finished speaking, both Liu Qingyu and Zeng Zhentian shook their heads vigorously.

Liu Qingyu said directly: "Secretary Shen, with all due respect, if we really adopt the model of direct investment by private enterprises to build ports, many unpredictable problems will arise, such as the position of the government in the entire project. ? How does our government department obtain the dividends of port construction and development? Once the port is put into operation, how does our government department start work?"

Shen Hongfei smiled lightly: "This is very simple, we can directly learn from the successful experience of Britain, Hong Kong and other places."

Zeng Zhentian quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, it's too risky, and it's too radical. It's more radical than Liu Qingyu's plan. This is absolutely impossible."

"Then which plan is more suitable? I think it's better for everyone to vote directly." Shen Hongfei said lightly.

After Shen Hongfei finished speaking, Wu Chengkun, secretary-general of the municipal party committee, was the first to express his support for Shen Hongfei's opinion. Afterwards, Zhang Yinrui, director of the propaganda department of the municipal party committee, also expressed his support for Shen Hongfei's opinion.

Later, Liao Zhicai, deputy mayor, and Lu Yunfei, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, expressed their support for Zeng Zhentian's opinion, while Wang Hongbo and Zang Dongsheng expressed their support for Liu Qingyu's opinion, and the remaining Li Xiangjun and Dong Zhihao unexpectedly chose a neutral attitude.

As a result, a strange scene appeared on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

Everyone gets 3 votes!Evenly divided, no one can overwhelm either side.

Therefore, Shen Hongfei announced to put aside the fight for the time being, and continue to advance the next step. The Luming City Government will come forward to negotiate with the major banks in the province and borrow 75 billion yuan from the banks for the large deep-water port of Luwei Island. Construction of infrastructure and supporting facilities for the project.

After the meeting was adjourned, Liu Qingyu came directly to Shen Hongfei's office, and said with an ugly face: "Secretary Shen, why did you propose such a radical plan at the Standing Committee? I feel that with your personality and style of doing things, you should I wouldn't propose that kind of plan, it would be understandable if that plan was proposed by Zeng Zhentian, but what you proposed makes me feel unbelievable."

Shen Hongfei smiled faintly: "I knew you would come to find me."

Liu Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, he had already heard that there was something in Shen Hongfei's words.Therefore, Liu Qingyu just looked at Shen Hongfei quietly, waiting for Shen Hongfei's next words.

Shen Hongfei suddenly sighed and said: "Mayor Liu, you may not know that just before our meeting this time, I heard someone in the province suggest that they want to try a new financing model in the construction of this port project. Enterprises are directly responsible for the construction of the entire port, while the government shies away, hoping to let the market lead the entire project.”

Liu Qingyu frowned and said, "I believe Secretary Shen, you definitely don't agree with this plan."

Shen Hongfei nodded: "Of course I don't agree with this kind of plan, but I think that the implementation of this kind of plan really represents the psychological thoughts of a group of people, and these people have come up with relevant policies with a sense of foresight. They add points. But I think their ideas are a bit too radical. Reform is the driving force of our development, and there is nothing wrong with letting the market play a leading and regulating role in the entire national economy. However, if Like some people’s one-step approach or even directly copying the so-called successful model of the West, then I’m sure there will be a lot of problems in the future. Let’s take China’s stock market as an example. The stock market crash is so serious this time, doesn’t it have something to do with copying the Western stock market model?”

Liu Qingyu nodded: "Yes, I agree with your point of view, whether it is the stock market or reforms in other fields, we must adhere to the four characters of our Chinese characteristics, and even in many fields, we have Substantial innovation must be carried out, because many of the successful experiences of the West are based on their unique national conditions, which are not suitable for us in China, because our China and the West have different cultural foundations and different cultures. National conditions, so if you copy it, the chance of failure is extremely high. Looking at the reforms in China over the years, although we have crossed the river by feeling the stones, we have achieved great success in economic construction, and the reason for this is that It is because we have been resolutely implementing the spirit of the instructions of the Party Central Committee and resolutely implementing the various policies of the Party Central Committee. Therefore, if we want to build a large deep-water port project in Luming City, we must also adhere to the spirit of implementing the instructions of the Party Central Committee. Resolutely implement various policies, we must adhere to our Chinese characteristics, and we must give full play to the role of the government in coordinating and supervising the project construction process. We must not let it go, that will only make the project completely different, and even cause a serious loss of state-owned assets. .”

Shen Hongfei nodded: "You are right. In fact, regarding the opinions of you and Zeng Zhentian, I agree with the plan you proposed. The plan proposed by Zeng Zhentian is a bit too conservative, too old, and out of date. In fact, I believe that Zeng Zhentian is also clear in his heart, but he seems to be competing with you, and he even wants to use my strength to support him in this plan. I can see this very clearly. He thinks that I, Shen Hongfei, am conservative in thinking. So I will definitely support it, but he forgot one thing. Although I, Shen Hongfei, is relatively conservative, it is for the sake of stability. It is because I am the leader. I need to balance the relationship between all parties, so I seek stability, but it does not mean that I am Don't know what's good and what's bad. He wants to use me, and that's really underestimating me."

Liu Qingyu asked: "Then why don't you directly express your support for me?"

Shen Hongfei smiled and said: "It's easy for me to support you. Your plan will definitely be approved by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, because your plan is indeed in line with the current situation of our Luming City. However, for our Luming City, the biggest The threat does not come from within our municipal party committee, but from the province, and now we are playing games with the province."

Listening to what Shen Hongfei said here, Liu Qingyu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I understand what you mean, Secretary Shen, you hope to create three different plans at our Luming Municipal Committee Standing Committee, and then put These three plans should be used as topics for subsequent publicity, and it would be best to trigger a big discussion in the entire Luming City or even the whole country, and finally let the public opinion decide the final direction of the whole plan?"

Shen Hongfei looked at Liu Qingyu with a smile on his face, and gave a thumbs up: "The one who knows me is also Liu Qingyu! That's right, that's what I mean, I want to see who is jumping up and down in the province, trying everything The method wants to control our large-scale deep-water port project in Luming City. It is best not to let me find out who he is!"
