Chapter 2641 Cross the river and demolish the bridge
"Assistant Ye, let me make it clear first. It's not that our Song family didn't do anything. I personally went to the Ministry of Transportation twice to deal with this matter.
However, it's useless. Moreover, it is really difficult to meet the old man in this movie once.
I, Song Xiangjun, finally understand why you often talk about the junior high officials in Beijing getting smaller. As a boss, when I got to the Ministry of Communications, even a section chief was embarrassed.
What's more, it's even more difficult to meet people at the level of director or even deputy director. Originally, our Song family did a good job in the project.
After more than ten years of business experience, I have developed some friendships with some leaders of the Ministry of Transportation. However, it didn’t work this time.
The leader said it didn't make sense and pointed out that the key points were stuck." Song Xiangjun said angrily.
"Mr. Song, this matter is so important. Let's talk straightforwardly. I would like to ask, what is the level of the department leader you are looking for?" Ye Fan asked.
"At the level of director." Song Xiangjun said and glanced at Ye Fan.
"If comrades at this level can't make sense, then it means that the person who is stuck is at least the deputy department level, right?" Ye Fan analyzed.
"No, it's definitely at the deputy department level. Because the leader I'm looking for is a very important director in the department. Even if he can't do it, the person who is stuck is very important in the department."
Song Xiangjun said a little depressed.
"Okay, let me call Zhou Jinfeng. He is the Executive Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Transportation." Ye Fan said and stood up to make a call.
"Zhou Jinfeng. It seems that he has arrived at the Ministry of Agriculture." Song Xiangjun was slightly stunned and said.
"Are you at the Ministry of Agriculture?" Ye Fan looked at Song Xiangjun in surprise.
"It seems like this, otherwise you can ask." Song Xiangjun also looked a little unsure.
So, Ye Fan made a phone call and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is Ye Fan. I just came back from an inspection trip to France, and I heard your good news. Congratulations."
"Hahaha, I'd like to lend you some good words. Didn't I hear that you were promoted to assistant to the governor, but we share the same joy." Zhou Jinfeng was in a good mood, his tone full of confidence and joy.
"Well, I'm going to be in trouble now that Brother Zhou leaves." Ye Fan sighed.
"It's troublesome, brother, please tell me first and listen to it." Zhou Jinfeng pondered for a moment and asked.
"It's not just about the merger of Tongling Expressway into Jingyin Expressway. Brother Zhou originally had the green light. Plus Shenlu Group was willing to invest in this road.
This matter was originally a matter of course. Who knew that I just came back from abroad and found out that the ministry had changed its mind again.
This project involving nearly 2 billion yuan will unexpectedly change like what happened in June.
Is it too childish for the Ministry of Transportation to do this, or is there some other reason?" Ye Fan asked.
"Let's do this. Let me get to know each other and then talk to you." Zhou Jinfeng said with a somewhat cautious tone. Ye Fan and Song Xiangjun sat and drank tea. Both of them had something on their minds, so they didn't even want to talk.
After half an hour, Zhou Jinfeng called and said, "I'm really sorry about this, Assistant Ye. Originally, the Beijing-Yin Expressway project department had already finalized it.
Later, you merged with Tongling Expressway, so the ministries and commissions had to discuss the feasibility and necessity of this project.
After all, the revised plan is different from the original one. And I've been too busy recently, as you know. There are some things I won't talk about.
Therefore, I paid less attention to it. However, as soon as the Shenlu Group submitted this plan to the ministry, I gave some suggestions to the comrades below about this matter.
It's just that now the Ministry has other opinions on this matter, and I no longer work at the Ministry of Transportation. I have just inquired about it. The review and approval discussion for your plan was chaired by the new Comrade Lian Pingshan." Zhou Jinfeng said, and Ye Fan heard this.
I understand. Minister Zhou was reminding himself that this matter was stuck in Lian Pingshan's hands.
"Lian Pingshan, is he the one who will take over Minister Zhou's position after he leaves?" Ye Fan asked.
"That's right." Zhou Jinfeng said.
"I have no impression of Comrade Lian Pingshan at all. I don't know where he worked before." Ye Fan asked.
"He, haha, used to be the executive deputy governor of Andong Province. This time he returned to the capital and returned to his post. Although he is not yet the top leader, he has made a big step forward." Zhou Jinfeng said with a smile.
"Of course, it's a big hurdle to get from the deputy department to the main department." Ye Fan responded, putting down the phone with a gloomy expression on his face.
Zhuan'er asked Song Xiangjun: "Do you know Lian Pingshan?"
"I don't know." Song Xiangjun shook his head, glanced at Ye Fan and said, "Assistant Ye, you have understood the situation. You know that this is not a matter of inaction on our part. We have indeed tried our best. However, our project has been delayed.
I'm sorry."
"Mr. Song's intention is to shelve the project of merging Tongling Expressway into Jingyin Expressway, right?" Ye Fan glanced at the woman and snorted coldly.
I thought to myself, damn, there are so many people who are burning bridges these days. Your old man can shut his mouth now, and he actually wants to give up his job whenever something happens. Moreover, this reason is quite valid. I am so stuck.
I can't find any reason to refute it.
"It's not that we want to shelve this project, it's mainly that we can't wait. Assistant Ye, sit in my seat instead.
Think about it, is it possible for a multi-billion dollar project to stop at this level? However, my father has an explanation.
Since Assistant Ye has actually given us a lot of help to the Song family, we will give you the Tongling Government another month.
If the ministry can pass this test, we will still invest as planned. Of course, if it is still stuck after one month, we will have no choice but to abandon the Tongling branch expressway project as planned." Song Xiangjun could feel Ye Fan.
I was a little annoyed, so I explained.
"Okay, just one month. If the Ministry of Transportation still can't pass the approval, I, Ye Fan, will have nothing to say." A trace of determination flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.
"Then it's settled." Song Xiangjun nodded.
Just as Song Xiangjun left, Kong Duan came in a hurry.
"Assistant Ye, is Fa Zhongguo's trip going well?" Kong Duan sat down and asked directly.
"It's okay. They have agreed to come to Fengzhou. However, they may not be able to pay for it. Making them pay is the key. To be honest, I don't have any confidence in this." Ye Fan looked open-minded.
, smiled.
"Haha, Assistant Ye still has a way. It is quite difficult to invite such a noble guest. Hongpai Tianzhen is one of the top 100 companies in the world.
Since you can come, that means half the battle is won. Otherwise, if no one comes, what hope is there? Kong Duan would like to congratulate Assistant Ye first.
If Hongpai Tianzhen can really settle in Fengzhou, it will add a lot of color to Assistant Ye's life.
However, I am also a little bit disappointed. It would be great if they could come and settle down in our same ridge." Unexpectedly, Kong Duan actually flattered Ye Fan nakedly, which made Comrade Xiaoye feel quite weird.
I thought to myself that this guy must have something to ask of me, otherwise, he would be so polite.
"Hahaha, you are Mayor Kong." Ye Fan smiled, glanced at Kong Duan, and said, "If all the good things happen to us, we will drown in jealousy.
Our Tongling has been very popular recently. After the Ministry of Finance successfully assisted Honggu Village, we signed an investment project worth several hundred million with Tianjing Group.
As for the successful settlement of the thermal power plant, you, Mayor Kong, are indispensable. This alone will make many comrades in the province jealous."
"Yes, but Assistant Ye is in big trouble now." The smile on Kong Duan's face disappeared.
"Oh, Mayor Kong, please tell me first?" Ye Fan asked, thinking that I know this guy has no good intentions, and now he really wants to ask for help from me.
"It's not about the thermal power project. I don't know who leaked the news to the senior management of Far East Electric Power Group yesterday. Their person in charge in Tongling, Manager Zhang Zifang, immediately came to me to report the situation. This is really confusing.
It’s too big.” Kong Duan said somewhat depressedly.
"What's going on?" Ye Fan asked.
“I heard that our project application for merging Tongling Expressway into Jingyin Expressway was rejected by the Ministry of Transportation.
This sudden impact on Far East Electric Power Group is quite large. Originally, if this project could succeed, it would open an opening in Zhanghe City not far from the thermal power plant.
In this way, the equipment required for power generation and raw materials such as coal can be easily transported. If the highway is gone, it will increase the operating costs of thermal power plants.
After all, the investment in transportation is very expensive for such a large thermal power plant. There is a huge difference between having a highway and not having one.
What's more, after the construction of this thermal power plant, it takes more than a day or two. During operation, the cost will increase every year. It is really not cost-effective when people calculate it." Kong Duan said.
"What's their attitude?" Ye Fan frowned. Unexpectedly, the house leaked and it rained all night. This time, the troubles came one after another.
“It is said that if the high-speed problem cannot be solved within a month, the project will be discussed and studied again.
After all, if there is a problem with one of the big conditions, it will be related to the profitability of Far East Electric Power Group.
Of course people don’t want to invest anymore if there is no profit from investment. I really didn’t expect that the high-speed project would have such a severe impact on thermal power plants. Moreover, I understand their difficulties,” said Kong Duan.
"I have already learned about the shelving of the Tongling Expressway project. Mr. Song from Shenlu just came here in person to talk about it.
We are told that we will be given a month to complete this matter. If it doesn't work, we will shelve it. Alas, Mayor Kong, you have to handle this matter as soon as possible.
When I returned from France yesterday, I reported the situation to Governor Tian, Governor Qi, and Secretary Luo. They are also very concerned about the thermal power project.
I keep asking about this, and the three leaders all praised you, Mayor Kong, for your good leadership as the project leader.
If this project is really put on hold now..." Ye Fan said half a sentence.
Of course, you won't take this job right from the beginning. At least you have to force it out first, and then you will have something to say when you come back to ask yourself when the job doesn't work. (To be continued...)
