Returning to Beijing from Hong Kong, Jiang Feng ushered in the final exam for the second semester of his junior year.

When the exam was completed, it was already mid-July, and Jiang Feng returned to Jiangzhou.

However, as soon as Jiang Feng returned to Jiangzhou, he received a call from a heavyweight. Who is it? Wei Hongjun, the current mayor of Jiangzhou.

In 2007, Jiang's family was a big move. At the beginning of the year, they entered the steel industry with a high profile and acquired all steel companies in Shandong Province, including Juzhou Steel and Qilu Steel. They also acquired steel companies such as Pangang, Sichuan Steel, and Weigang in Yizhong Province, as well as Jiangzhou Steel Group, which has completed its restructuring. In other words, the Jiang family consortium finally won all steel companies in Yizhong Province, Shandong Province and Jiangzhou City. For this reason, the Jiang family consortium issued a check of 80 billion US dollars, which is about 620 billion RMB.

Jiangshi Steel, which is reorganized from steel enterprises in these two provinces and one city, has 200,000 employees and a capacity to produce steel up to 80 million tons per year, becoming the world's second largest steel group after ArcelorMittal Steel Group, which was reorganized after the merger with Mittal Steel Company last year.

The most terrifying thing is that Jiangshi Steel not only has strong steel smelting capabilities, but also has a rich source of iron ore around the world. As the world's four major iron ore giants, Jiangshi Mining Group Corporation is a mother and Jiangshi Steel Group Corporation, and the two are actually one.

Therefore, in terms of enterprise operations, Jiangshi Steel has an extremely favorable position compared to similar enterprises.

The establishment of Jiangshi Steel has greatly stimulated the major domestic and international steel giants, and they exclaimed that the wolf was coming. In order to cope with the strong competition of Jiangshi Steel, the restructuring process of the domestic steel industry has been greatly accelerated. Not only that, the pace of the steel industry going global has also instantly accelerated.

This is something that cannot be done. If they do not make any changes, the result will be very miserable. They either encounter bankruptcy or mergers. This is something that the managers of those companies do not want to see, even if most of the companies are state-owned enterprises. In any case, if the company's performance is poor, it will be difficult for them to make progress, and it is not that easy for them to make money.

In addition to high-profile actions in the steel industry, Jiang's also frequently took heavy blows in the automotive industry, information industry and other fields. In the automotive industry, he acquired three world-renowned automobile brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston and Martin, and in the information industry, Jiang's actions shocked the world even more. They launched directly with Microsoft and entered the computer desktop operating system, causing a bloody storm.

These three are all considered the major strategies of the Jiang Consortium. The Jiang Consortium not only launched these three strategies, they also made considerable moves in other fields. In foreign countries, Jiang Consortium built nuclear power plants in South Africa. It controlled South Africa's power production and built titanium iron separation factories in North Africa, becoming the world's number one titanium supplier; in China, with Wan Changling and Zhang Mingge serving as governors in southern Yunnan and southern Chu, major enterprises under the Jiang Consortium also made great efforts to enter these two provinces, setting off investment and construction in the two provinces.

Wei Hongjun was clear about these situations. Although he was in Jiangzhou City, he had no lack of research on the relationships or contradictions of surrounding provinces. As provincial officials, most of them were concerned about this. Regional politics is a lesson they should study carefully, because they should not stay in one province and city until they are old. They may move to other provinces and cities in the next session, at least they should have a understanding of the surrounding brother provinces and cities.

"Xiao Jiang, you said that as soon as you do it, you will make the chaos of Chunan and Yunnan. There are big guys talking about Jiang's gossip. Haha... I reported on my work in Beijing two days ago, and Premier Wen also talked about this issue. He said that friction may not be a bad thing."

"Ha...I think so, it can mobilize the old men of the provincial party committee who are already in a state of depression. Besides, Jiang is here to invest, so they naturally raise their hands and feet to welcome them. After all, GDP is their lifeblood."

In the "Features of Liangjiang", Jiang Feng specially booked a private room to entertain Wei Hongjun. The two of them had fragrant tea with strong fragrance. The vice president of the Jiang Consortium was accompanied by Zong Luoyao and Jiang Lingyu.

Zong Luoyao and Wei Hongjun were old friends. The relationship between Wei Hongjun and Zong Haicheng was very good at the beginning. In fact, Wei Hongjun almost fought with Jiang Feng because of revenge for Zong Haicheng. If it weren't for the rebellion of a major boss in the central government, the two would have been inseparable from a life-and-death battle between them.

However, six years have passed and it feels like a world of change.

After talking about Chunan and southern Yunnan for a while, Wei Hongjun talked about his own affairs.

"... Recently, Jiangzhou is studying a major policy and is preparing to implement a nine-year free education system for primary and secondary schools in 39 districts and counties across the city. On this basis, it also needs to improve the welfare benefits of teachers. It has made a preliminary budget. The city's finance will invest more than 300 million yuan in this area every year, not counting local investment."

Jiang Feng was slightly stunned. In that life in his memory, it seemed that after 2010, he heard that a certain city and county had waived all the tuition and miscellaneous fees for primary and secondary school students, but a county was not big, how many schools could it have?

But it is different for a municipality directly under the central government, especially a super market like Jiangzhou with an area of ​​nearly 100,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 30 million.

However, according to the annual investment of 300 million yuan, it is not much, only for primary and secondary schools, not high schools. This is the first step, but this policy is indeed popular with the people.

The national compulsory education is shouting a slogan. What is the obligation? The obligation is for free, and what are the tuition and miscellaneous fees? It costs money, so some things are difficult to explain. The Jiangzhou Municipal Government clearly proposed to exempt all tuition and miscellaneous fees from primary and secondary schools in the city. This is a breakthrough. In the future, its impact will be amplified, and all provinces, cities and districts will follow the examples. The major policy of national compulsory education will be realized step by step.

"The budget of 300 million is not much. It is divided into 39 districts and counties. They can't even get eight million. What can eight million do?"

Wei Hongjun smiled bitterly and said, "This is just the initial budget of the municipal government. This policy cannot be separated from the assistance of local governments and related large enterprises. The municipal government has formulated a five-year plan, adding an additional budget of 300 million yuan per year and adding 1.5 billion to 1.5 billion in five years. This basically solves the problem. However, at the beginning of the start, the gap in funds still needs to be unloaded from all districts, counties and enterprises stationed in the country."

How many primary and secondary schools do the 39 districts and counties in the city have? Ordinary calculations are based on 15 primary schools and 5 middle schools in one district and county. For 39 districts and counties, there are at least 780 schools. This is the average data. 1.5 billion is distributed to 800 schools, and each school gets 1.92 million, and it is also very tight to spend 1.92 million a year for a school.

This does not include the monthly salary of teachers. Instead, it means that if you go to another education system to increase the amount of money, local municipal and county governments and some enterprises will add a little more, and it will be fine to raise 3 million to schools. Some county schools cannot use 3 million. In this way, the larger ones will give more and the smaller ones will make a small share. It should be said that the problem is not too big. For a municipal finance department, it is not a small amount to bear the education fund every year, but solving this problem is undoubtedly a great achievement that will benefit a hundred years.

"Mayor Wei, I think the city's finances will be too small for 300 million yuan in the first year. This shot is going to be launched, and it will be done in one go. You said a good policy was proposed by Jiangzhou. As a result, it was delayed for five years. It was a petty family. Others followed suit and it was done in a year. Wouldn't it slap us? I told me that 1.5 billion is not much, and there are not seven or eight hundred primary and secondary schools in the city? It's only a lot, right? Their family can't even get 2 million yuan, and only more than 100,000 yuan a month. What can we do?"

Wei Hongjun smiled bitterly and said, "These money is nothing more than to make up for the shortfall of tuition and miscellaneous fees. The 1.5 billion budget is data obtained from the reduction and exemption items. Moreover, the school's random charges must be corrected. You, if you don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive, it is difficult for me as the mayor."

"Uncle Wei, I see what Jiang Feng said makes sense. We asked others to take it out first to get the merits first?" Zong Luoyao interrupted at this time.

Jiang Lingyu also said: "Yes, Mayor Wei, Jiangzhou City is not without money, don't be stingy."

The mayor of Wei Hongjun, who teased the two beauties of the Jiang family, said with a laugh and cry: "You guys, don't think I'm crying poor. Life in Jiangzhou has been a little better in the past two years. Thanks to the rise of the Jiang family, a surrounding enterprise has also flourished. Besides, a large group like Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group. In less than two years, I proposed the policy of exemption from primary and secondary schools. The people agreed, but the bureaucrats called me a prodigal family, so I had to slowly implement it."

Indeed, as the mayor of a municipality, Wei Hongjun had to take into account too many aspects and asked for money everywhere. The 1.5 billion yuan education fundraising he formulated would cost 1.5 billion yuan in this area every year in the future. Not to mention that it was him, the future successor would be under great pressure.

"Mayor Wei is not a cadre without courage. I'm just crying for me to cry poorly, right?" Jiang Feng saw that with the wisdom of Wei Hongjun, he would not be able to see the political interests? What a joke? He insisted on talking about the five-year plan. Where did he get the five-year plan? With the current strength of Jiangzhou City, he would make people laugh at it in a year. In 2006, the total GDP value in the city entered the top ten in the country. Not only did the whole country pay attention, but the Central Academy of State is also paying attention. Originally, Jiangzhou was a province and city in the middle and lower reaches of the country.

Wei Hongjun laughed and said, "Anyway, I am really under a lot of pressure. I will have to add an additional 1.5 billion yuan in the future every year. In the first three years, I have to extend my hand to beg for alms to you. This... I have to give it to you, and I have to give it to you if I don't give it to you. I have no choice!"

After saying that, Wei Hongjun burst into laughter.
