Energy Group

Section 35 Cooperation with the'Government'

Just as Li Cong was worrying about the land, the Feicheng Municipal Party Committee and the "Government" also convened a standing committee meeting for Li Cong's enterprises. The theme was to support enterprises in the region and make the "government" get corresponding However, Li has never said in one place that the energy group will not accept any foreign investment under any circumstances. The energy group should hold a 100% controlling stake, otherwise he would rather not cooperate.

"Everyone, I believe everyone has known about the energy group that appeared in Wenyang Town recently. It is not our fault that it did not attract our attention when it started to develop. After all, his initial activities bypassed the town. The county two-level'government', and now it is linked to PetroChina, we are even more difficult to tell others. In my opinion, let's treat it as an ordinary enterprise, and try to take care of the following departments as little as possible. Trouble, PetroChina is not something we can cause. Besides, the person in PetroChina has already greeted us many times. As long as he doesn't evade taxes, it has nothing to do with us." It was Huang Jiang, the secretary of the municipal party committee. , An old "communist" member in his fifties who will go to the National People's Congress after this term. Naturally, he wants more than less.

"Secretary Huang, I don’t think we should be so conservative. Our officials must of course act for the people. He develops within our borders. We are obliged to foster such potential companies. We have all read the report. He will become a nation in a few years. Large enterprises may even be even faster. His company currently has hundreds of employees. According to his current development speed, if his second phase project is all launched, it may require thousands or even tens of thousands of workers. A large company with more than 10,000 people appeared, and the effect it brought should never be that tax. I think their transportation capacity has reached the limit. If they want to increase their transportation capacity, they will build roads. Wenyang Town has always been a remote area of ​​our city. The problem we had planned to build roads was also stopped because of funds. If they want to expand production, they must be able to build roads, so our budget can be saved. This is just On the surface, secretly, we can set aside an industrial zone for him. This requirement is that all workers must use our territory. Everyone knows that unemployment has reached a level that must be paid attention to. There are tens of thousands of jobs. The question is worthy of our consideration. What do you think?" The new mayor Zhao Wenbo, who is young and capable, is said to be a small official in Beijing, and has the common'character' of his generation. When you are gilded, you have to make a lot of achievements to create opportunities for the elders in Beijing to promote themselves.

The two top leaders showed two different attitudes, which made the people below feel a little difficult to do. The secretary's idea is a bit conservative, but it is also the safest. If it develops, it can be dazzled. If it fails to develop, there is no loss in the city. The mayor’s words may be the thinking of most young officials. How can there be a return if you don’t invest? Moreover, this opportunity is too good. The government does not need to invest anything. As long as a few plans are issued, it is estimated that the money for road construction can be all It’s up to the enterprise itself, and it still has political achievements, but the drawback is that if the enterprise collapses, the government will have to follow up on this unfinished project, especially the plan for the industrial zone, which can be used. If the arable land does not receive the corresponding effect, I am afraid that the compensation to the farmers alone will be enough for the'government' to drink a pot.

"I feel that both Secretary Huang and Mayor Zhao's words are reasonable. Can we find a compromise, do nothing, nor take too much risk. We are after all a'government', not an enterprise. , We can’t decide on profit. We must be responsible for the 980,000 people on this land. I’ve seen Mayor Zhao’s industrial park plan. I’m afraid it will require more than 5,000 mu of land, that is to say the surrounding area. The arable land of the four villages needs to be fully expropriated, and tens of thousands of people will face the situation that there is no land to grow. If this industrial park is to be connected together, many people will need to be relocated. This is also a huge expense. This energy group Can we pay the money? Their president Li Cong has already said that they will not sell any shares or engage in any form of joint ventures. It is impossible for us to find any benefits in their profitable projects, so I think the market We have to consider the long-term recruitment issue, and some supporting facilities such as road construction have become something we must get. So what I mean is that the energy group must agree to our conditions before we can support the energy group." Li Mingfang, the "Chairman" of the CPPCC, is a peacemaker. In many things, the leaders of the old and the young will have top bulls. People of his middle age have to come up with a compromise. The people here in Feicheng are still relatively good. Fortunately, there are no so-called corrupt officials from the older generation or the younger generation, and they are willing to do things for the people anyway.

The process of this meeting has similar results to the previous few times. The proposal of Secretary Li of the CPPCC has been proposed by most of the Standing Committee members, summarizing three things that Li Cong must do. The first is the highway connection from the province. This first-level road in Wenyang must detour through Feicheng County, and the'government' will formulate a design plan and construction team responsible for the construction; second, Li Cong must recruit at least 70% of the workers in the county; third, land acquisition The land transfer fees and farmers’ resettlement fees are fully funded by the Energy Group.

This decision can be said that the city does not have to take any risks. This road and some resettlement costs may cost several billions. However, the 5,000-mu industrial park is also very attractive to Li Cong. The so-called wild price,' The government made such a condition, and it depends on how Li Cong counter-offered.

Li Cong got such a draft contract within two days of the end of the meeting. Looking at such a clause, Li Cong felt nothing. He was fully capable of completing these by himself. He also felt that such clauses were very good. He even plans to donate millions to the poverty alleviation fund just established by the'government'. Li Cong feels that he is not short of that amount of money. It is his own responsibility to do something good for the people. Whatever happened, we are also young enthusiasts. I fixed this. The first-level road will also have a lot of advantages, but we still have to hold a meeting to listen to everyone's opinions. Li Cong was afraid that his opinions were not enough and called the members of the CNPC team here.

"Look at this is the draft contract given to us by the Feicheng'government'. This is a good opportunity for us. Although the terms are a bit harsh, I personally think that our company is still acceptable. You can have any comments. Talk about it." Li Cong himself is very satisfied, but it seems that everyone's faces are not quite right.

"Everything else is easy to say. We don’t lack the money, and we need this place for development. But road construction is a big problem. We can build roads, but what we want is to connect with highways. It's not about repairing roads to Feicheng, which makes the cost too high for us." said Li Cong's father, vice chairman of the Energy Group.

"What's the matter with this, isn't it just a few more kilometers?" Li Cong felt that this was a very easy thing to do.

"How many kilometers? My brother, do you know the cost of a road? This is a first-class road, two-way four-lane, and the cost per kilometer is as high as tens of millions of yuan. The location of the interface from us to the highway is 30 Kilometers, if we bypass Feicheng, it will cost several hundred million more. I am afraid that our financial situation will not meet this investment requirement." It is the first time that Li Cong knows that road construction will cost such a big price. It seems that several hundred million will not work. Up.

"There is also the cost of relocation. Should we supervise it or they will supervise it. We have to pay someone else if we occupy their homes. Should we build a building? Or should we give them a yard as they are now? The "government" gave us this contract to show that we are playing with us, all the expenses are borne by us, and they are all picking up the bargain." The company has two vice presidents who are not happy.

"Then what advice can you CNPC give us?" Li Cong turned to CNPC's advisory group.

"Mr. Li, the analysis team at our headquarters just sent the information. We suggest that you can cooperate with the'government' this time, but you must modify the terms. The'government' will definitely have to pay nothing this time. Road and recruitment are their bottom line. We can directly repair the highway to the exit of the provincial expressway. As for the remaining few kilometers, the government will not force us, so the price we pay is still very high. So our advisory team gives you another suggestion. All payments are guaranteed by our PetroChina and the'government', and all loans are implemented." The head of the advisory team of PetroChina is a 40-year-old uncle who looks very responsible. .

"Loans? But as far as I know, we need at least 2 billion loans to support this project. Even if you have a good relationship with the bank, you need more than 5% of interest, 100 million yuan a year in interest? The bank is simply Grab money.” Li Cong was born not to cooperate with banks, and felt that his capital chain was still OK, so why throw such a sum to the bank every year.

"Mr. Li, haven't you heard that you have a loan of over one million, do not dare to look for industrial and commercial tax, and the public security court dare not arrest? Many rich people have money themselves, why use bank money? Isn’t that the truth? ?" Li Cong had never thought about this, or someone from a large company would drill a rig.

This meeting was held for a short time. It was completed under Li Cong's request for efficiency. Finance Minister Li Yan was in charge of negotiating with the'government' about loans. The'government' sent a negotiating team led by the mayor himself.

The road of development is tortuous. Li Cong has taken another step today, that is, knowing that he will borrow. In fact, if Li Cong bears all of it, the group can also afford it, but there will be no benefits of the loan. Let PetroChina pick up our favor. We all have 2 billion in deposits. Do we still need your guarantee? I just wanted to maintain a balance and let PetroChina take the lead so easily. It seems that we are still young.
