Material Empire

At the same time, the small meeting room of the Jintang Municipal Government in Shannan Province was filled with smog. Mayor Rao Ronggen was convening all the leaders of the municipal government to discuss an urgent issue: Jintang Chemical Materials Company’s application for industrial land for the construction of two chemical plants Report.

"Jintang Chemical Material Group Co., Ltd. has just been registered and established in our Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Several enterprises such as Jinnan Chemical Factory and Hongguang FRP Factory, which were annexed by Mr. Qin Hai, an entrepreneur from Anhe Province, have now been merged into It is a subsidiary of Chemical Materials Group Corporation. Mr. Ning Mo, the plenipotentiary representative of Mr. Qin Hai, proposed to us that the city government can provide them with 10,000 mu of land for the construction of two chemical plants. At the same time, he also hoped that we would set aside 20,000 mu of land mu of land, which will be used to establish a large-scale enterprise with an annual output of 800,000 tons of ethylene in the future. What everyone sees now is the application materials they submitted and the requirements for the location of the land.”

Shen Chuanming, the deputy mayor in charge of industry, first introduced the basic situation of the topic to his colleagues.

"This is a great thing!" Deputy Mayor Liu Xiangyang said excitedly, "I got to know this Mr. Qin Hai a few days ago. He turned out to be a well-known entrepreneur. The paint machine was sold to the European and American markets, and it is said that it has earned hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars. Think about it, what kind of concept is this? Also, he merged Jinnan Chemical Factory, Hongguang FRP After the factory and other enterprises, these enterprises have now resumed production, and it is said that the profits are not bad, which has solved the problem of many laid-off and unemployment in our city.

Now Mr. Qin has integrated several enterprises and will invest in building another chemical plant. This will greatly promote the economic development of Jintang and the employment of employees. We should give strong support. "

Another deputy mayor, Chen Ziqiang, also echoed: "I agree with Lao Liu's point of view. We spend so much energy on attracting investment, but the investment that can be attracted is still very limited. Now people send investment to our door , why do we have any hesitation? Of course, we should do our best to support and give all the preferential policies that can be provided at once, and we can't let this God of Wealth go to others."

"Yes, yes, since Mr. Qin arrived in Jintang, the workers in several chemical factories have been saved, and the city's financial situation has improved as a result. We must hurry up for such a god of wealth." The other deputy mayors Long also said in unison.

Rao Ronggen frowned and said, "Attracting investment is an unswerving principle of the municipal government. You don't need to say more about this. The most important thing for us to hold such a mayor's office meeting today is to discuss, How to provide the best service for the chemical material group company, and at the same time, how to make the chemical material group company best serve the development of Jintang.”

Rao Ronggen's words were a bit convoluted, but everyone present here was smart, and they immediately understood the main point of Rao Ronggen's words. The so-called provision of services for the chemical materials group company is just a pretense.

Speaking of which, Jintang needs the help of enterprises, but there are too many. The roads need to be repaired, the schools need to be strengthened, the government office buildings need to be renovated, and the family courtyard of the municipal party committee needs to build two new buildings... All of these can be summed up in one word: money.

Although Jintang's industry has improved after Qinhai merged the Jinnan Chemical Factory and other enterprises, the government's financial revenue is still very meager, and it is difficult to even pay salaries to the city's agencies and institutions, let alone What kind of construction project are you doing? Now there is a rich man who is said to have hundreds of millions of dollars on hand and wants to expand his investment in Jintang. Isn't this a good opportunity to ask for alms?

Officials in the government are no strangers to begging for money from enterprises. However, they have always only begged for money from enterprises that have settled in Jintang, and they dare not open their mouths to enterprises that have not yet settled down. Think about it, when people are still thinking about whether to invest, if you ask them for money first, don’t you scare away investors?

That's exactly what Liu Xiangyang thought. After hearing Rao Ronggen's hint, he smacked his lips and said in embarrassment: "Mayor, I'm afraid this matter has to be discussed in the long term?"

"Old Liu, tell me in detail, what do you mean?" Rao Ronggen asked expressionlessly.

Liu Xiangyang said: "I heard that the two factories to be built by the Chemical Materials Group have an investment of tens of millions, and the total amount is 20 to 30 million, which is worth the total amount of investment in our city for a year. Most importantly, Chuanming just said that they plan to build an ethylene plant with an annual output of 800,000 tons in Jintang in the future. I have also learned about this situation. The total investment of such an ethylene plant may reach 6 billion to 8 billion. If such a big investor leaves in a fit of anger because of our... improper handling, then we will be sinners of Jintang forever."

"Then what do you mean, old Liu?" Chen Ziqiang asked from the side. There are not so many rules in the mayor's office meeting, and everyone speaks more casually. Liu Xiangyang replied: "What I mean is that we still need to provide services to such investors. In fact, once the factories they build are put into operation, the taxes they pay will be very considerable. We can't just stare at them. Interests."

"Old Liu, I don't agree with your statement." A deputy mayor named Hu Tianshuang said, "It usually takes one or two years to build a factory, and it may take three or four years until it can be put into operation and make a profit. .Didn't you hear people say that time is money, and in this era, can we waste time for nothing?"

When Hu Tianshuang said what he said, more than half of the people in the venue nodded slightly in agreement.

"Chuanming, tell me your opinion." Rao Ronggen turned his head to Shen Chuanming and said. Shen Chuanming is the deputy mayor in charge of industry and the only person who has dealt with Qin Hai. His opinion is obviously more important.

Shen Chuanming thought for a while and said, "Qin Hai, the president of the Chemical Materials Group, is a young man in his early 20s. I have dealt with him before. I have two feelings about him. The first is that he has a tough attitude. The second is more reasonable."

"Are these two points... a bit contradictory?" Chen Ziqiang asked with a smile.

Shen Chuanming shook his head and said, "It's not contradictory at all. When I say he is reasonable, I mean he is different from some other investors. He will not use his position to force us to provide him with preferential conditions beyond the standard. Based on this, I can say that he is a more reasonable person.”

"Well, this is indeed rare." Rao Ronggen commented.

"To say he is tough means that once he decides on something, he will do it firmly. Even if he faces pressure from certain aspects, he will not change his original intention." Shen Chuanming said.

"Is there any example?" Rao Ronggen asked.

"I once had some small disputes with him." Shen Chuanming said. Next, he briefly introduced to everyone the matter of wrestling with Qin Hai over the wages of retired workers. In order to attract investment, I finally chose to respect Qin Hai's opinion.

Everyone knew what kind of person Shen Chuanming was. The deputy mayor, who claims to be a young man, has always looked above his head, so there is no possibility of taking the initiative to respect others. Since he said that he accepted Qin Hai's opinion, he was obviously under great pressure. And someone who can put pressure on Shen Chuanming does fit the label of "tough".

"If Qin Hai is such a person, it will be difficult to handle." Rao Ronggen hesitated. He originally thought that since Qin Hai regarded Jintang as an important base, if the Jintang City Government made some demands on him, he would probably satisfy them for the sake of peace of mind. But according to what Shen Chuanming said, this Qin Hai was quite stubborn on issues of principle. If the Jintang side made some unreasonable demands, it might really make this little ancestor run away in anger.

"Mayor Shen, you just said that the purpose of Qin Hai's dispute with you is to provide pensions to the retired workers of Jinnan Factory?" Chen Ziqiang asked.

Shen Chuanming nodded: "Yes, and as far as I know, since his people took over these chemical factories, the pensions of the retired workers in each factory have never been in arrears, which is very commendable."

Chen Ziqiang nodded and said, "This will be easy."

Rao Ronggen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Ziqiang, what did you say is easy to handle?"

Chen Ziqiang said with a smile: "From this matter, this Qin Hai should be a person who is very enthusiastic about public welfare. To put it bluntly, he has merged the Jinnan factory. He can completely ignore these retired workers, and others have nothing to say. It can be said. But he did not do this, but ensured that the pensions of each factory were paid in full, which shows that this person is keen on public welfare."

"But what does this have to do with what we are talking about now?" Liu Xiangyang asked in surprise, a little unresponsive.

Chen Ziqiang said: "Since this Qin Hai is so enthusiastic about public welfare, let's create an opportunity for him to do public welfare."
