super rich

With the fall of Kang Maohui, the power structure of Dongjiang Province has reached a turning point.

Firstly, the thorn in the side of the Provincial Party Committee was pulled out, allowing Ning Lizhong to remove a hindrance; secondly, taking advantage of the good situation, he was able to carry out the plan in an orderly manner. A more eye-catching personnel arrangement was to build Qiantang City Wang Jiansheng of the Planning Bureau was promoted to the position of director of the provincial construction department.

Controlling the traffic intersection can be regarded as a weather vane. Since he went to Lishan City for research at the beginning of the year, he mentioned to the deputy governor Fang Tao on the spot to speed up the construction of the expressway. You can roughly guess his next move. .

In fact, the road network project in the south of Dongjiang Province was planned and approved in 95. Now, five years have passed, and the rest of the road sections have basically been completed, but the road in Lishan City has become a thorny problem.

There are many hills in Lishan City, which is a typical unfavorable geological area. The places where the road network passes are almost all rolling mountains, which adds great difficulty to the construction. It is known as one of the most difficult construction projects in the south of the country!

As a result, the cost of the project has risen in a straight line. For a short distance of 20 kilometers, the budget was as high as nearly [-] billion. This was undoubtedly an astronomical figure at the time. Although the province is an economically developed province, it is still very tight to allocate all funds from the province.

Similarly, the state's finances are not well-off, and it is unrealistic to ask for too much money from the state's finances to build roads.

The above factors have caused this project to be delayed until now. Originally, Ning Lizhong thought that the time was almost ripe, so he wanted to use the joint efforts of Dongjiang Province and the central government to overcome the difficulties. It is in place, but the opinions of the provincial party committee have not yet been fully unified.

This time, the main resistance did not come from local bureaucrats such as Ji Mingtang and Wen Haichen, but Governor Bai, who has always been in the center, blocked it. The reason was very simple: no money!

Maybe the finances were really difficult, or the old man was dissatisfied with Ning Lizhong's radicalism, so he suppressed it appropriately, which was conducive to balancing the situation.

In this regard, Ning Lizhong has nothing to do for the time being. Although Governor Bai usually doesn't like to be in charge, he has deep qualifications and high reputation. If he is determined to help someone, the other side will be in a difficult situation immediately. At this time, we must not set up another big opponent.

Chen Mingyuan walked into the inner office with a freshly released newspaper and placed it lightly on a corner of the desk. There was no important news for the time being, so there was no need to remind him. When Ning Lizhong was free, he would naturally read these newspaper.

Putting down the newspaper, Chen Mingyuan was not in a hurry to go out, and just stood in front of the desk.

Ning Lizhong looked up at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Mingyuan nodded and said, "That's right. Ye Qingxue, the president of Huayu Group, contacted me yesterday and asked me about the highway project in Lishan City."

"She still misses Lishan's folks and elders?"

Ning Lizhong smiled a little, obviously Ye Qingxue left a very good impression on him during the trip to Lishan.

"Maybe." Chen Mingyuan turned directly to the topic: "From what she said, it seems that she wants to contribute to the construction of the expressway."

Ning Lizhong was slightly surprised, and immediately laughed and said: "It's rare for her to have such thoughts, but... Does her company have enough strength? The funding gap of one billion is not a small amount."

Ning Lizhong has done some understanding of the situation of Huayu Group. Although it has made rapid progress in Lingnan Province in recent years, it can only be regarded as a cutting-edge enterprise, and most of its businesses are import and export trade and cultural industries. Financial resources are limited, and Compared with the funds needed to build highways, it is really a drop in the bucket and useless.

Chen Mingyuan explained: "Her company alone is definitely not enough, but she has attracted a consortium, and she is sure to let the other party inject capital and participate in shares."

Ning Lizhong was a little confused: "Which consortium is reliable?"

"It's a Yanjing private equity fund. You may have heard of it." Chen Mingyuan hesitated, and said: "It's called Shengshi Capital, and the main body is an investment institution that conducts domestic and foreign equity investment."

"Great Age Capital?!"

Ning Lizhong was shocked, frowned and pondered for a while, staring at Chen Mingyuan with piercing eyes, and said: "So, you also know something about the background of this consortium?"

Chen Mingyuan replied truthfully: "I just found out not long ago that a company owned by an elder in my family has just accepted their capital injection recently."

Ning Lizhong didn't get to the bottom of it, and seemed to be a little surprised by Shengshi Capital's involvement, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the relationship between Huayu Group and Shengshi Capital is not simple...but it's no wonder that Huayu has been in a short period of time. It will take a few years to establish a firm foothold in Lingnan Province, and it will be impossible to get up without a backer, but I did not expect that those people have already set their sights on this area."

Hearing the meaning of these words, Chen Mingyuan was sure that Ning Lizhong knew the situation of Shengshi Capital and the Mu family well.

In fact, he already knew that Ye Qingxue and Shang Wenbin were members of the Mu family. Arranging them in Dongjiang Province not only gave them a chance to develop, but also allowed the Mu family's influence to infiltrate here.

The turmoil a while ago made Shang Wenbin's weight in the Standing Committee a lot, but now that Ye Qingxue proposed to assist in the construction of the expressway, she probably wanted to take the opportunity to gain some benefits in the commercial field.

Naturally, Ning Lizhong also wanted to understand this point, and said with a light smile: "Shengshi Capital has a great momentum, and usually many places expect them to come to invest and start a business. If they can really be drawn in, it will basically be a matter of course."

Chen Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

With the support of major Chinese consortiums at home and abroad, and the golden signboard of Mujia, the power of Shengshi Capital is beyond doubt, and most of them, whether central or local, will fully support it. In this way, the construction of the expressway is basically a certainty.

Suddenly, Ning Lizhong changed the subject, and said with a sly smile: "But the businessman can't afford it early, and Shengshi Capital is willing to support the expressway project, presumably because they want to get some rewards?"

Chen Mingyuan said slowly: "Ye Qingxue and I only had a general exchange, and didn't talk about it in detail, but I guess it's the same. According to the financing experience of building expressways in other places, they probably wait until the expressway is completed and put into operation. Fees for a certain number of years..."

"Don't play tricks on me, finish what you have to say at once."

Ning Lizhong shook his head angrily. This kid is getting more and more bureaucratic, and he knows to leave a little room for his words: "Such a large investment, relying on fees, will have to be paid, let alone whether they have it or not." Be patient, our government will never allow them to accept them indefinitely."

Chen Mingyuan just wanted to give him a chance to show his talents. After all, the secretary should save some face for the leader. Since he had already pointed out the problem, he made a confession: "Secretary Ning, our family is mainly engaged in business. Although I don't have much relevant experience, I often listen to the words and deeds of the elders, and I also understand the profit-seeking nature of capital. These businessmen are willing to do such thankless things. The basic purpose is to obtain benefits in other fields, or hope that the government will give them other preferential policies and preferences. , you think it's right?"

Ning Lizhong nodded in agreement. In fact, with the deepening of reform and opening up, many private capitals have gradually participated in government projects. Nowadays, it has become commonplace.

Like a resource-rich province in the north, it often exchanges the priority of mining minerals in exchange for private capital investment.

In other words, it is to complete the so-called equivalent benefit exchange!

Thinking of this, Ning Lizhong said with a little vigilance: "They don't want those resources in Lishan City, do they?"

Chen Mingyuan knew that he was disgusted with these practices of selling resources for short-term benefits, and said: "It's hard to say, but as long as we kill the bottom line, we will give them other compensations, such as giving them the right to use a few pieces of land, or give them policies Tilting, it should still be feasible.”

"Besides, as far as I know, among the investment cases of Shengshi Capital, there is no example of asking the local government for resource exploitation rights. Instead, it is more interested in the industrial and technological industries."

Ning Lizhong nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

"But these are just my personal guesses after all. The specifics need to be discussed in detail between the two parties. Ye Qingxue also asked me to test your words. If you accept this intention, I will ask them to arrange someone to come over to negotiate immediately. "Chen Mingyuan seemed to have a plan in mind, "In terms of business, I believe that as long as the terms we offer are favorable enough, investors will be interested."

Ning Lizhong's eyes shone brightly, obviously moved by these words, he looked up at the little secretary again, he couldn't help but be filled with emotion, it can be said that the ability performance of this aristocratic child has far exceeded his original expectations, It seems that no matter how difficult the problem is, he can find a solution to it.

Nodding his head, Ning Lizhong said in a deep voice: "Theoretically speaking, your proposal is worth trying. If it is really successful, it will achieve multiple results in one fell swoop. Once the road is repaired, the province can introduce a big project, of course. , the most important thing is to take the opportunity to clean up the dull atmosphere in our province. Now some of our thousand departments are still too conservative in their ideas. There are many flexible ways, but they refuse to change their inherent thinking. It is too difficult for the economy to grow up if it is always so step-by-step.”

Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, we often spend too much energy internally on serious work, but no one cares about it and delays it."

"This is the reality, we always have to take it step by step. This time, I hope Shengshi Capital will not let us down."

Ning Lizhong smiled, suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "By the way, the person in charge of Shengshi Capital, have you heard of it?"

Chen Mingyuan thought about it and said, "I heard that she is the younger sister of Governor Mu Dingyin of Lingnan Province. She seems to be a strange woman with a lot of background..."

Ning Lizhong sighed: "Almost, that woman is not simple!"
