The chief and Mr. Li left. They indeed stayed to have lunch with their comrades, took two bites and then left. This is right. With such a big leader sitting in the dining hall, who can eat safely?
Yao Yuan and the others had a good experience of the food in the canteen of the ministry. There were not many dishes, there were five dishes in total, two meat and three vegetarian, but the taste was good.
Relatively speaking, the meals eaten by some grassroots units are much better than those served by ministries and commissions. Eight dishes and one soup are the basic standard.
Maybe it was because of my mood, I was very happy and satisfied with this lunch.
When he came out of the canteen, there was a light snowfall, which made Lin Wei so excited that his face turned red.
Yao Yuan said, "You've never seen a Siberian winter before?"
Lin Wei said, "That's different. Siberia would like to freeze its urine into ice. Look at the snow in Beijing, how gentle and beautiful it is."
Vice Governor Zhang walked up quickly and said, "Oh, it's snowing. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, a good sign!"
"Governor Zhang, where are you celebrating the New Year?" Yao Yuan asked with a smile.
Vice Governor Zhang smiled and said, "Celebrate the New Year? Celebrate it at the provincial government. My family members are all in Guangdong City. I will go back with you. Work will not stop during the Spring Festival. We must pay close attention to several projects."
Seeing him looking like he was going to work hard for 100 days, Yao Yuan was very emotional. With such a leader, the people of Guangdong Province are happy.
Xia Honghua and Wen Tiejun caught up and asked, "Governor Zhang, Xiao Yao, what are you going to do? I'll send a car to take you to the airport."
"Leave now, don't bother, I have arrangements here." Yao Yuan said.
Xia Honghua knew that Yao Yuan was going to Kazakhstan after the Spring Festival. The exploration of new oil fields there was extremely important. It would be no exaggeration to say that it would affect the global energy pattern. He and Wen Tiejun would also have to make time to go there, so they could no longer keep Yao Yuan.
.
"Okay, Governor Zhang, I will go to Guangdong Province to meet you for a drink after the festival." Xia Honghua shook hands with Vice Governor Zhang and said goodbye.
Getting on the BMW SUV that came from the Beijing office, Yao Yuan's first words on board the car were to He Xueli who came to pick him up, "Let's discuss it with Director Xiao later and see if we can discuss cooperation with the Beijing city government. The first batch of
All Baojun 320s were given to them for use as taxis."
"Free delivery or not?" He Shirley asked.
Yao Yuan said, "Half sold and half given away, just use it as an advertisement. I will give another 100 units to the Beijing City Government and use them as official commuter cars."
"Okay." He Shirley, who was sitting in the passenger seat, wrote down.
Vice Governor Zhang, who was sitting in the back row with Yao Yuan, joked, "Xiao Yao, where is our provincial government? Do you also express your gratitude?"
"That's necessary." Yao Yuan said with a smile, "It has been planned for a long time. BMW off-road vehicles, Baojun 320, and every new model produced by BMW and Baojun in the future will be given to the provincial government 100 units each.
, this commitment will always be valid unless BMW and Baojun Motors cease production and go bankrupt."
Vice Governor Zhang was surprised and said, "You're not joking with me, old man, are you?"
"You are not yet sixty years old this year. It is the time when you are doing your career. How can you be an old man?" Yao Yuan laughed, "I'm not kidding. If you don't come to me, I will come to you to talk about this matter. I won't either."
An’s good intentions are just to use the provincial government as an advertisement.”
Vice Governor Zhang didn't believe that Yao Yuan was doing it for advertising. In the current passenger car market, there are only as many cars as there are, so there is no need to worry about selling. Why do you still need to advertise?
He thought for a while and reciprocated the favor by saying, "Then I will also make a statement. All taxis in Guangdong City will also be updated and all use Baojun 320, but you can get a discount in terms of price."
"The first batch is half sold and half given away." Yao Yuan treated everyone equally.
But in the eyes of Vice Governor Zhang, this has already given him great face. He believes that Yao Yuan half-sold and half-gifted the land to the capital city for a batch of Baojun 320s to be used as taxis because the chief minister questioned the $215 aid for construction.
In the aftermath of the Kazakhstan's new capital incident, Yao Yuan spent a little money to take small measures to express his attitude.
Guangdong Province does not need Yao Yuan to express his position. It already supports Yao Yuan.
But Yao Yuan's attitude in supporting his hometown has always been resolute. After the East Coast Petrochemical Base stopped working, Southern Industrial did not stop paying suppliers and contractors, and still paid full wages to casual workers recruited temporarily.
Projects including Baojun Automobile Production Base, Xianglingang Industrial Park and other projects are all operated in this way, so there is no other impact.
Vice Governor Zhang is very clear about this.
"I'll be extravagant and fly on your special plane." Vice Governor Zhang joked after sitting on the spacious airline seat of the Airbus-320.
Yao Yuan signaled the stewardess to make some good tea and said, "Americans say that time is money, which is very representative of Western countries. Western countries have led the world's development with the first and second industrial revolution and dominated the world.
world for more than a century.”
"Objectively speaking, at this stage, in addition to plunder and colonization, their own industrial and economic development processes are also full of human wisdom and struggle. But now they have entered a state of exhaustion, or in other words, a state of exhaustion.
The ultimate state of laziness.”
"Westerners propose economic globalization and carry out industrial division of labor on a global scale. Their purpose is to turn other countries into branch factories. Their own countries master the core technology, such as industrial machine factories. Finance is the mainstay and capital operation is the mainstay.
Lord, time at this time is money, but the meaning is different."
After some introduction, Yao Yuan said with a smile, "The main purpose of buying the plane was to facilitate international flights, because some companies led by Dongfang Petroleum are doing more and more overseas business, and there are more and more mergers and acquisitions and bidding. Our employees
To fly everywhere, taking civil aviation is too inefficient and cannot compete with Westerners."
Vice Governor Zhang said with emotion, "Yes, time is money. It takes three days to build a one-story building in Shenzhen City. This is the best interpretation of our Chinese people that time is money. Xiao Yao, I have been a cadre for most of my life."
"This is the first time in the past few years that I have such a strong feeling that time is not waiting for us. I always feel that if we miss this opportunity, the Chinese people will miss an excellent opportunity for economic rise."
"Yes, I feel the same way."
Yao Yuan and Vice Governor Zhang chatted about the world economic trend for more than 20 minutes. After the plane entered level flight, the stewardess brought fruits, wine, cigarettes, snacks and so on.
"What do you think about the electric power sector in our province?" Vice Governor Zhang suddenly asked.
Yao Yuan was a little confused and asked, "What's the problem?"
Vice Governor Zhang said helplessly, "Dianhu Dianhu is really a tiger. The Ministry of Electric Power Industry is very powerful and has a very tough attitude. Our province's application to build a thermal power plant is probably going to be a scam."
"What is the specific situation?" Yao Yuan didn't understand for a while.
Vice Governor Zhang was a little embarrassed and said, "I promised you before that you would invest in and operate the electric power sector in Guangdong Province, but now I'm afraid it won't be easy. Small and medium-sized power plants are of little interest to you, at least.
One million kilowatts, but power plants of this level require approval from the Ministry of Electric Power Industry, and they are very tough.”
Yao Yuan suddenly thought of a question, "The Planning Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, and the Economic and Trade Commission were merged into the National Development and Reform Commission. According to the principle of separation of government and enterprises, the Ministry of Electric Power Industry will not exist for a long time. The establishment of the National Electric Power Company is inevitable.
The government management functions of the Ministry of Electric Power Industry will inevitably be transferred to other departments, and now it seems that the National Development and Reform Commission is most likely to take over."
Vice Governor Zhang was stunned and said, "You mean to wait until the Ministry of Electric Power Industry is withdrawn before raising this matter? There are indeed some rumors, but it is withdrawn as soon as it is announced. Such a large ministry..."
"Leader, the Ministry of Petroleum is not a waiter, and we don't withdraw at the drop of a hat." Yao Yuan said with a smile, "But I think the higher-ups will take comprehensive considerations into account. Guangdong Province is the forefront of reform and opening up, and power supply must be guaranteed as a priority.
of."
Vice Governor Zhang said, "As long as you understand, the provincial government will try its best to fight for it."
This is not something that happens in a day or two. From the perspective of people's livelihood, water and electricity are more important than oil.
Among so many ministries, there are two ministries that are the most domineering, strong and tough, no exaggeration at all. One is the Ministry of Electric Power Industry and the other is the Ministry of Railways. These two have both government management functions and business management authority.
Ministries and commissions have long been a boulder that is difficult to shake.
Needless to say, the Ministry of Railways was formerly the Railway Corps, with a strong brand name.
The Ministry of Electric Power Industry is no less generous. It has been established three times and reorganized three times. Just when you thought it was about to become history, it was resurrected within two years. In fact, the areas involved are very important and basic to people's livelihood and industrial development.
cornerstone of.
Which factory can’t live without electricity?
However, if the Ministry of Electric Power Industry is abolished this time, it will really become history. Judging from the pace of the National Development and Reform Commission coming forward early, the merger of ministries and commissions may also be advanced ahead of schedule.
There is plenty of time, so Yao Yuan is not in a hurry at this time. Moreover, the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has not established an electric power research institute. There is only one team doing research on batteries. His goal is commercial batteries, such as mobile phone batteries, walkie-talkie batteries, car batteries, etc.
It would be much better to have some time to make deployments in this area and then participate in developing the market in the electric power field.
The plane first landed at Guangdong Airport. Yao Yuan wanted to inspect the Nangang-Yuecheng Expressway, which had 80% of the construction completed, so he had to take a bus from Guangdong City back to Nangang along the route. It would take two days, and he would arrive back on New Year's Eve.
Nangang.
After getting off the plane, cars from the provincial government and the Guangdong Office of Dongfeng Group drove directly to the tarmac to pick up people. When saying goodbye, Vice Governor Zhang looked at the old airport and suddenly asked, "No need to worry about anything."
Second owner, Xiao Yao, why don't you provide some money to set up a joint venture with us to build a new airport? The preparations have been done and the project has been approved, but we are short of funds."
The site selection for the new Guangdong Airport was completed three years ago, but construction was delayed until 2000. Lack of funds was an important factor.
Yao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you really think I run a banknote printing factory. I know the plan of the new airport. It can't be built without 20 billion."
"It's not 20 billion U.S. dollars, and it's not a one-time investment. You have to think of a way. This is related to our foreign exchanges in Guangdong Province. The annual passenger volume of this old airport has exceeded one million, and it has been expanded to the point where it can no longer be expanded. The new airport
If the airport is not built, foreign businessmen will all go to Shanghai and Beijing." Vice Governor Zhang said helplessly.
The budget is 19.8 billion Chinese dollars, and overspending is certain, because the current design plan cannot meet future needs. No one could have expected that the new international airport in Guangdong City would become the airport with the largest throughput in the world, with annual throughput exceeding 100 million many times.
Visitors!
Two runways are simply not enough, and even four runways are not enough. In desperation, part of the throughput can only be diverted to several surrounding airports, such as Jinwan Airport and Baoan Airport.
Yao Yuanzhen did not dare to agree to this easily, because he knew the Guangdong New Airport very well, because he participated in part of the design work of the Guangdong New Airport in his previous life.
"Leader, how much do you want me to invest? How much money has the provincial government raised?" Yao Yuan asked.
Vice Governor Zhang blushed and said with a smile, "We have already raised several hundred million, and we can start construction if we raise some more."
Yao Yuan said, "Don't worry, we are all old friends. Can you tell the truth?"
Vice Governor Zhang emphasized, “We have indeed raised several hundred million.”
Yao Yuan stopped asking and said directly, "What's the use of a few hundred million? Just for the demolition and site leveling alone, we have to invest more than ten or two billion. If the demolition is not completed in one day, the start of the construction will be in vain."
"It seems you do understand the situation." Vice Governor Zhang shook his head and said with a wry smile.
There are too many factors that affect the start of construction, and demolition work is the first stumbling block.
The new Guangdong Airport is very profitable, but that is ten years from now. In other words, the expected profit period is too far away. Yao Yuan is a businessman, and it will take ten years to get a return after investing such a large sum of money. No matter how you calculate it, it will be a loss.
Moreover, it is a huge loss, and non-state-owned capital cannot afford it.
"Xiao Yao, please invest as much as you want. Solve the construction problem first, step by step. You can set whatever conditions you want, and I will report it when I get back." Vice Governor Zhang said.
Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "It is basic to obtain the shares of the airport management group. In addition, the new Guangdong Airport will become the main base of New United Airlines and New Bei Airlines in South China. Its status cannot be lower than that of China Southern Airlines. Well, there are still headwinds
Logistics and Huayin Aviation Leasing. These are my conditions.”
"How much capital can you contribute?" Vice Governor Zhang thought for a while and felt that it was not difficult to discuss, so he asked.
Yao Yuan said, "Look at the provincial government. What should we do if we invest too much and occupy the controlling stake?"
"That's true." Vice Governor Zhang thought for a moment and said, "But if your four airline companies are stationed as the main base, I'm worried that I won't be able to let it go."
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Leader, do you think the current design plan can meet future needs? There are only two runways. Let's put it this way, the provincial government will consider building a third runway and a fourth runway in ten years. It must be
We must be prepared for the annual throughput to exceed 100 million passengers.”
"Isn't that too exaggerated?" Vice Governor Zhang didn't believe it at all.
The current design plan is based on the standard of transporting 30 million passengers per year. In everyone's opinion, this is already a very large redundancy. Therefore, before the second terminal is completed, the Guangdong New Airport has been overloaded.
Running status.
Yao Yuan pointed at the airport and said, "No one has thought about building a new airport before. They all think that this airport is sufficient. Air tickets are so expensive and flying is a way of travel for the rich and powerful. New Beihang Airlines has launched discounts
Air tickets, as people's income continues to increase, aviation will definitely become one of the main ways for people to travel long distances."
Vice Governor Zhang fell into deep thought.
Do we need to change the design plan?
Do you need to increase the budget?
This 19.8 billion Chinese dollars is enough for the provincial government. Where can I find more money?
In fact, after waiting for another two years, the provincial government will be able to get the money thanks to the tax-sharing system, rapid economic growth, and a surge in local government fiscal revenue.
