Volume 12, The Waves Stop the Flying Boat, Section 72, Persuasion
"It's not entirely this factor." Lu Weimin had a charming smile on his face. "I just said, what is the positioning of Songzhou? It is a key node city on the junction of Chang, Hubei and Anhui and the golden waterways in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is a transportation hub and commodity distribution center. Songzhou has Chang'an Railway and large railway marshalling stations, multiple good deep-water port terminal areas, and the Yetou Airport that is preparing for renovation and expansion. There are Changsong Highway and the Songzhou Yangtze River Bridge across the Yangtze River. However, the roads leading to Xiliang and Yishan are all secondary highways, which are connected with Jiangxia, Huangzhou, Huaining, Qiupu and other places. Especially with the development of the economy, the demand for road transportation will become increasingly large, and the construction of highways is also in full swing in my country. It is not that simple to enter the field of expressway construction and operation."
"Oh? I'd like to hear it carefully." Xiao Yucui nodded and asked.
"Although there are many precedents in the construction of highways, including successful examples in Guangdong Province, Sichuan Province and other places, this is not a universal rule. Basically, every project is driven by a certain political climate and economic demand. Due to the high-yield high-yield highways, many places would rather choose to establish a project company to obtain loans when building highways, or directly operated by the expressway construction and development company of the transportation department. With loans from state-owned banks, funds are not a big problem, so foreign capital is granted, especially foreign-controlled highways,..."
Before Lu Weimin finished speaking, Lin Changlun asked in a deep voice: "Mayor Tong, Mayor Lu, can Songzhou make concessions in the operating and controlling rights of the expressway?"
This is a key, and Lin Changlun is also very concerned about this. Only by obtaining controlling rights can one truly win the operational command of the entire highway, which is very important to them. To be honest, they are still quite worried about handing over large amounts of funds to mainland administrative officials or state-owned enterprise officials for operation. They have long heard of the low efficiency, bureaucracy and low cost control and business management of these officials in mainland China. Lin Hewen, Lin Hexiang and others have already warned them.
"In principle, it is OK, but the specific conditions need to be considered after entering substantial negotiations." Lu Weimin glanced at Tong Yunsong, and then expressed his opinion after receiving Tong Yunsong's nod.
Lin Changlun nodded silently and stopped asking more questions.
He only needs this point. In fact, he has long seen this point. He has considered the investment in the industry. Tianhu Biotechnology is a most successful example. However, Tianhu Biotechnology investment is only tens of millions of yuan, which is not worth mentioning for the hundreds of millions of dollars transferred from Indonesia. So, firstly, the amount of funds is too large, and secondly, the mainland economy is still affected by the Southeast Asian financial crisis this year and has not yet fully recovered. The risks of investing in the industry are indeed relatively large. Thirdly, the opinions put forward by Lu Weimin are also in line with Lin Changlun's view that projects such as highways are not allowed to participate in. In addition to the large amount of funds required, this also requires good cooperative relations with local governments. Moreover, through this type of project, it can successfully establish a close relationship with local governments, which will also be of great help to enter the industry in the future. Therefore, he has long been inclined to this investment.
"In addition to the two highway projects I recommended to you during my time in Hong Kong, this time because our Songzhou encountered a major flood disaster, the central and provincial government attach great importance to Songzhou's economic development and post-disaster reconstruction, and very support our Songzhou's development in the industry. Once Songzhou, as an old industrial base, will be on track for recovery, the demand for electricity will also rise sharply. Therefore, the city intends to plan a thermal power generation project in Yehe County, the suburb of the city. We also intend to adopt BOT projects to operate this project, and we also welcome foreign capital to participate in bidding and operation,..."
One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves.
Power Plant?! Lin Changlun and Lin Changli exchanged glances, while Li Jiansheng, Xiao Yucui and Huang Yihua were also observing each other's expression changes.
The reason why these companies are closely related in Indonesia is because they are intertwined in business. For example, the Lin family and the Huang family are in the port construction, and the coal mines have joint participation and cooperation. The Lin family and the Li family are listed on the bank. At the same time, the Xiao family and the Li family and the Lin family are in a power plant in Java. At the same time, the Li family and the Huang family are also in the Sulawesi joint operation. For them, the power plant should be the most familiar street.
Whether to be familiar or not is what all businessmen hope most. Although the investment and business environment in mainland China are different from that in Indonesia, the industrial structure is the same after all. The construction and operation of power plants mainly rely on the industrial and livelihood needs of the region, and are closely related to the operators of the power network. In the mainland, the power transmission and sales network are under the control of the state, which means that the construction and operation of power plants must be coordinated with the government to a large extent. Otherwise, if you block your neck, you will not be able to bear it.
In terms of monopoly, the mainland and Indonesia are somewhat similar, except that the mainland is monopoly on the state, while the Indonesian side is nominally private, but they are all controlled by several families close to the president or families themselves belonging to the president, and their degree of darkness is incomparable.
Lu Weimin ignored the changes in expressions of these people and said to himself: "In front of you, I can say without hesitation that Songzhou is currently building a steel project with an annual output of 2.8 million tons. It is expected to be completed and put into production next year. The second phase will start when the first phase is completed and put into production. The target is 6 million tons of steel production. The third phase is relatively far away, and it is a steel production of 10 million tons. Of course, you can think that I am talking big. You may also know the difficulty of steel projects in China. But what I want to say is that the Prime Minister arrived in our Songzhou some time ago. With your ability, I want to know the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
The work reported by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's attitude towards Songzhou are not difficult. Once this project is completed, it can be imagined what impact it will have on the entire area. I will not hide anything from you. The Huada Steel Project will have its own power plant, but the Huada Steel Project has as many as dozens of supporting projects, involving steel structures, machinery manufacturing, pressure vessels, building materials, equipment manufacturing, container manufacturing, etc. The demand for electricity can be imagined. Although the current demand for electricity is not obvious, it is expected that the power gap will be very large in two or three years, so the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will prepare for the future and take the lead... "
"…, Sui'an's communications and electronics industrial park is also developing very quickly. It is estimated that Sui'an's electricity consumption will also have gaps in a short period of time,..."
"Actually, you can think about it. With the regional central location of Songzhou and the construction of several major projects launched in Songzhou, this actually means that Songzhou's industrial industry will usher in an explosive growth period. Especially after the disaster, with the strong support of the central government, Songzhou's foreign trade and logistics will usher in a sharp growth period. Songzhou has always been the water and land trade terminal of Xiliang, and Yishan is also an important material input and output object for Songzhou. This means that the Xisong Expressway and Songyi Expressway will have a considerable profit space. I can even extend it. You can take a look. From here, the Digang branch route goes west through Guitang and enter Qiupu. Songqiu Expressway also has considerable value... "
"For the people, I have seen your eloquence skills. I have to admit that I am not as talented as you in this regard." Tong Yunsong seemed very relaxed, carrying his hands on his back, and smiling while walking: "I see that these families are a little moved."
"Mayor Tong, it's very easy to make them feel moved, but it's not that easy to make them make up their minds. Although these people are the decision-making players, their decision-making is not like some of our domestic corporate leaders. They need professional investment and financial consultants to conduct evaluations and come up with a regular assessment report before making a decision. Therefore, we can influence their investment direction, but if we want to win their investment decisions, it depends on what we can really bring to them. This is the key. We are just doing the first step now." Lu Weimin shrugged, "There is still a lot of work to do, and we dare not delay at all."
"Well, what suggestions do you have?" Tong Yunsong felt that Lu Weimin's words had an unfinished meaning, so he turned his head and looked at him.
"I'm afraid I have to divide a lot of work into one. After the disaster recovery construction, I think we can take this opportunity to comprehensively re-plan the planning and construction of the entire city. Don't rush to start reconstruction, so as not to feel backward and back after a few years. The finance cannot withstand such trouble. You might as well look far in planning intentions. You can invite some experts and scholars in this field to participate in the discussion, and at the same time, you can also absorb the opinions of the people, especially the people, to participate. I think this is probably safer." Lu Weimin hesitated for a while before saying.
