Shen Huai and Xiong Dini stared at the passing traffic, concentrating on finding taxis that were not carrying passengers. They did not notice that Dai Ling and her classmates were passing by on the bus. More than a dozen taxis passed by, but none were empty. Shen Huai was anxiously waiting, so he drove his car out of the parking lot and drove Xiong Dini to the east end of Yanjing Road without caring about the possibility of being seen. , he dropped her off at the entrance of Xiong Dini's house two alleys away, and then drove back to his residence to pack his luggage - he would spend the next week in Hong Kong. The investment promotion activity of "Hong Kong Huaihai Week" will be held in Hong Kong for a week. The entire investment promotion group, plus the Hong Kong guests returning to Hong Kong, numbering four to five hundred people. Everyone took two special flights from Xucheng International Airport to Hong Kong. Although Shen Huai and Zhou Yu were on the same special plane, Zhou Yu never looked directly at Shen Huai when they met again in the afternoon. After last night's madness, Shen Huai had not yet recovered from the confusion. Shen Huai was also afraid that others would see some clues, so he did not dare to "harass" Zhou Yu. Instead, he sat with Jiang Yibin and talked with the provincial state-owned assets The persons in charge of the enterprises participating in this investment promotion activity discussed the activities and project negotiations. Although provincial state-owned enterprises have always been the focus of investment promotion activities, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is becoming more solid, and the restructuring and reorganization of provincial state-owned enterprises is mainly to develop into technology- and capital-intensive advanced manufacturing, as well as energy, infrastructure and other industries that control the lifeline of the local economy. . Even though the provincial state-owned enterprises have been negotiating for nearly a year and have not officially signed the projects, they are all concentrated in this investment promotion activity, and they do not account for a large proportion. Cui Weiping, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xucheng City Party Committee, promoted the cooperation between Rongxin and Baohe to undertake two key projects of the East Ring Expressway and Nanwan Lake International Expo Park. By this afternoon, it had almost spread throughout the investment group. The budget investment for the East Ring Expressway and the bridge across the Zhujiang River exceeds 2 billion. The Nanwan Lake International Expo Park covers an area of ??more than 2,000 acres, and the budget investment is as high as 6 to 7 billion - everyone suddenly became a foil Those who went to the theater were in high spirits yesterday, but by now they were almost in a damp mood. More importantly, there was no news about the two projects of the East Beltway and the International Expo Park before, but they happened to be unveiled just in time for the investment delegation to go to Hong Kong. Everyone is not stupid, so how could they not see it? What does it mean? It is precisely because the candidates participating in the "Hong Kong Huaihai Week" investment promotion event this time are all "carefully selected", the atmosphere is even more depressing, and people like Ge Yongqiu, even if they are gloating about others' misfortunes, will not be so superficial as to The elation in my heart showed. Even though Xu Pei and others took a later special plane, everyone's spirits dropped on this special plane, and they were careful about what they said, fearing that something inappropriate would be spread to the ears of Governor Xu Pei, which would offend the provincial governor. The elder Xu Pei was particularly irritable. When we flew to Hong Kong, it was already evening. The setting sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and fell into the spacious hall. It made everyone's faces shine, but it couldn't brighten everyone's emotions. Jiang Yibin and Guo Chengze walked over to Shen Huai and asked, "Should we wait for Governor Xu's plane to arrive before we go to the hotel together?" Although Shen Huai had already made an appointment with Song Hongjun, Sun Qiyi and others to meet in Hong Kong, But it was not good to leave the group and act alone on the first day after arriving in Hong Kong. Seeing that Guo Chengze and Jiang Yibin were looking forward to him staying and waiting for the next special plane, Xu Pei and the others, they thought that Li Gu should go to the University of Science and Technology in the morning. I told Xu Pei about the establishment of a provincial state-owned assets management company. The second special plane took off from Xucheng International Airport nearly an hour after them, and should have arrived at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport about an hour after them. Everyone else took the bus to the hotel first, and Shen Huai accompanied Guo Chengze and Jiang Yibin. The others stayed at the airport, waiting for Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, and Li Gu to arrive on the second special plane. The staff who planned the event in the early stage were stationed at the exit and sent people to invite Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze, and Shen Huai to sit down and rest in the coffee shop on the east side of the pick-up hall. Shen Huai and the three of them went to the corner of the cafe near the window, watching the airport outside the window shining with the sunset light - Su Ping, Feng Zhichu and other entourage members did not move forward, but scattered around the tables with other staff, Avoid irrelevant people sitting over and listening to Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, and Guo Chengze talking about things. After sitting down, Jiang Yibin opened up the conversation and asked Shen Huai: "You mentioned to Mayor Li last night that our provincial state-owned assets will be responsible for the construction of the university science and technology park. What do you specifically think about it?" Jiang Yibin asked at this time, and Shen Huai also knew it. It should be that Xu Pei wanted Jiang Yibin to communicate with him on these issues first - although he seemed to have plenty of time during his trip to Hong Kong, Xu Pei was surrounded by the main leaders of various cities and had to contact all aspects of Hong Kong. On the contrary, There was no time to talk to Shen Huai alone.  After all, Jiang Yibin is the party secretary and director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Office. Whether the Provincial State-owned Assets Office forms an investment company to build a university science and technology park, or implements the Temasek model and establishes a provincial state-owned assets management company, Jiang Yibin¡¯s opinion definitely counts; he went to Shen Huai The conversation can also be said to be the first step to communicate and unify opinions within the provincial state-owned assets office. Shen Huai thought that after Xu Peidu became the provincial governor, he was still arguing with Cui Weiping and Hu officials about the gains and losses of one city and one place. It seemed that he was more wary of Cui Weiping and others' attacks than he imagined. Of course, promoting the construction of university science and technology parks now is definitely a good thing for the long-term development of Huaihai Province, and its significance is by no means limited to the development of Nanwan Lake New Area or Xucheng City. Education is the foundation of industrial society. Although Huaihai failed to fully develop this advantage in the past and its economic development lagged behind, its higher education level is among the best in the country. The development of Donghua and Xucheng in recent years has not encountered talent bottlenecks and has full potential. It can be said that it is the result of decades of accumulation of educational resources in Huaihai Province. There are many cloud schools in Xucheng, including nine national key colleges and universities. Counting other key undergraduate and junior college colleges under the Ministry, there are as many as 27. Even before the merger of colleges and universities and the expansion of enrollment, at the same time, in Xucheng There are more than 100,000 teachers and students living and studying in colleges and universities. Although Xucheng has an expanded university scale, with the old city area alone able to accommodate the study and living of hundreds of thousands of teachers and students, with the merger of universities, expansion of enrollment, and economic development in recent years, the living and learning conditions of teachers and students have also continued to change. To improve, colleges and universities in Xucheng are facing a shortage of resources, which is first reflected in the shortage of school buildings. ?? The total number of students in each school of universities such as Huaigong University and Huai Normal University has long exceeded 10,000. However, the urban campuses of Huai Gong University, Huai Normal University and other universities only have an area of ??1,000 acres, and they have long been overcrowded. Although schools such as Huaigong University and Huai Normal University should have merged, expanded enrollment, and the educational development situation to start the construction of new school concentration areas in southern Zhunan as early as 1995 and 1996, the Ministry of Education and the provincial finance allocation and the various universities' own Financial resources are greatly restricted, and there is no adequate estimate of the development situation of higher education in the next two thousand years. The university concentration area launched in southern Zhunan in 1995 now seems to have traffic congestion and infrastructure investment. There are many problems such as insufficient construction area and small planned construction area, which are far from meeting the needs of the rapid expansion and development of higher education in the province. Xiong Wenbin proposed a new urban construction plan for Xucheng in 1998, and also mentioned the issue of building a new university concentration area. In the newly adjusted plan, both the province and Xucheng City planned to build a larger-scale area east of Nanwan Lake. University Technology Park. ??In the past two years, the Provincial Education Commission, in conjunction with various universities, and the Xucheng City Urban Planning Commission and the Urban Planning and Design Institute, have also come up with a detailed planning plan for the University Science and Technology Park. As the most important part of Nanwan Lake New District and the education park of Nanwan Lake, the University Science Park plans to build a university concentration area that can accommodate 250,000 teachers and students in the future, supplemented by supporting residential and commercial buildings. and innovative industrial parks, covering a total area of ??up to forty square kilometers. The initial plan is that the institutions will be responsible for the construction of their own new campuses, and Xucheng City will be responsible for the construction of public infrastructure; in addition to the student apartments and dormitories, the supporting residential and commercial areas will be left to market development, and Xucheng City will then cooperate with the institutions to promote innovative industries. The construction of the garden. It is said that institutions are responsible for the construction of their own new campuses, but each institution does not have many operating industries and limited financial resources. Domestic first-class key institutions such as Huaiyi University, Huaihai Normal University, Huaihai University of Science and Technology, and Huaihai Medical University receive education. The amount of funds appropriated is relatively large, but it is currently mainly used for the construction of the new Zhunan campus, and there is no spare capacity to start the construction of a larger new campus in Nanwan Lake at the same time. In fact, the construction funds for the Nanwan Lake New District University Science and Technology Park will ultimately fall on the financial allocations of the province and the Xucheng City government. The province and Xucheng City have had much looser finances in the past two years than in the past, but there is too much work to be done. How can it be possible to allocate one to two billion in funds to build a university science and technology park east of Nanwan Lake? In fact, as for the entire Nanwan Lake New Area, the province and Xucheng District are not in a hurry to start construction in the next two years. They plan to wait for further improvement in finances, roughly around 2003, and then allocate another 35 billion yuan from the provincial and municipal finances each year. Greatly promote the construction of new areas. At other times, when Xu Pei presides over the provincial government work, there is really no need to compete with Cui Weiping, who is fully responsible for the work of Xucheng City, for the gains and losses of one city and one place; as the mayor of Xucheng City, Li Gu does not have to block Cui Weiping's edge. . The problem is that in this large-scale investment promotion event and the centralized signing of projects, Xu Pei had the intention to put money in his face. Cui Weiping conducted such a "raid", Xu Pei's face was bound to be embarrassed, and Cui Weiping's tit-for-tat confrontation Under the "pressure", if Xu Pei shows weakness, the province is likely to be like a domino, and a series of troubles will occur.Lock response and situation changes. This is what Xu Pei least wants to see. Now Cui Weiping is pulling Rongxin, Bao and Gu Jia to settle in Nanwan Lake New District first. Even if Xu Pei does not need to rush to react to this investment activity, he must respond as soon as possible. The University Science and Technology Park project, whether in terms of the construction of Nanwan Lake New District, the development scale of Xucheng City New Town, or the promotion of the development of higher education, culture, innovation and high-tech industries in the province, is undoubtedly more significant and popular than the Expo Park and Construction of the East Belt Expressway project. Promoting the construction of university science and technology parks is also in line with Xu Pei's identity at this time; Xu Pei can gather more people and prestige, and can more smoothly succeed Zhong Limin as the provincial party committee secretary. However, except for some residential and commercial facilities, the University Science and Technology Park is a hard investment, and there is no way to introduce investment capital. Since the province and Xucheng City cannot allocate much fiscal funds, how to raise the tens of billions of construction funds that need to be invested in the first phase? Jiang Yibin stopped Shen Huai because he wanted to represent Xu Pei and wanted to ask Shen Huai, a "smart woman", how to cook without rice? After last night, Shen Huai had no time to think about these issues. When Jiang Yibin asked, he simply said: "The next step for the restructuring and reorganization of provincial state-owned enterprises is to reduce reliance on bank loans and to conduct extensive cooperation with overseas enterprises. I estimate that the provincial state-owned assets system¡¯s demand for bank loans will not drop rapidly in the next three to five years, nor will there be any major growth. This will actually provide the provincial state-owned assets with the opportunity to build university science and technology parks. A certain amount of construction loans" Hearing what Shen Huai said, Jiang Yibin also nodded convincingly. A considerable amount of new loans from banks in the province have gone to provincial state-owned enterprises. This is the current policy that insists on the ownership of the whole people as the mainstay of the economy. and political needs. On the one hand, the proportion of new loans flowing from banks to the provincial state-owned assets system will not decrease - in fact, the number of new loans will increase by hundreds of millions to billions every year according to local economic development conditions - at the same time, the provincial state-owned assets system will maintain internal control over banks. Dependent on loans, the newly increased loan amount can indeed flow to the University Science and Technology Park Holding Company established under the provincial state-owned assets system for the construction of the university town. As for how to control the dependence on bank loans within the provincial state-owned assets system, this is Shen Huai's responsibility and professional scope; and the provincial banks of several major state-owned commercial banks and Yexin Bank still have a greater preference for Shen Huai as a provincial state-owned assets trader. Trust, this is a fact that Jiang Yibin has to admit. "Provincial state-owned assets have established holding companies to undertake the investment and construction of university science and technology parks. Even if they can directly obtain certain loans with provincial financial endorsement, the amount of loans squeezed out of the provincial financial system every year is also limited. The province and Xucheng City have abundant finances Before that, the provincial state-owned assets need to be injected with more funds from other places to ensure that the construction of the university science and technology park is not interrupted," Shen Huai continued. "In order to facilitate the overall coordination and operation of capital, a provincial state-owned assets management company has also been established. The necessity" Jiang Yibin glanced at Guo Chengze and separated the provincial state-owned equity in Huaihai Financial Investment, Dongjiang Electric Power, Dongjiang Real Estate, Dongshi Group, Huaihai Electric and other enterprises from each provincial state-owned enterprise and placed it into provincial state-owned assets The unified management under the management company, and in the future, more and more provincial state-owned equity and provincial state-owned enterprises after restructuring will be placed under the provincial state-owned assets management company, which will indeed benefit the overall coordination and operation of the provincial state-owned capital. With Shen Huai's ability With the extended resources he can influence, it is indeed possible to take on the additional responsibility of building the university science and technology park Furthermore, the university town is a non-profit engineering project, and the investment in construction funds cannot be recovered, but the construction funds used for construction Bank loans are repaid with interest. Before the provincial and Xucheng city finances grow to a certain scale, the repayment of the principal and interest of the university town construction loan still needs to be coordinated and arranged internally by the provincial state-owned assets. This also strengthens the necessity of establishing a provincial state-owned assets management company. Otherwise, in the future, requiring provincial state-owned groups such as Provincial Steel, Huaihe Coal, and Instrument Electric to share the principal and interest repayment of university town construction loans with various colleges and universities will not only cause trouble, but may also trigger a comprehensive fiscal and financial crisis in the province, which will be even more outrageous. Opponents have an opportunity to take advantage. Although it is said that Shen Huai bundled the university town project with the establishment of the provincial state-owned assets management company, it was suspected of taking the opportunity to expand his powers, but pragmatically considering, it is necessary to bundle this matter together to make it possible to operate. At the same time, simply establishing a provincial state-owned assets management company and taking over power from various provincial state-owned enterprises will inevitably lead to great resistance. However, by bundling the two things together, most of the forces that hope to promote the start of the construction of the university town will also become the driving force for the provincial state-owned assets management company. The power of establishing a state-owned assets management company can greatly reduce resistance. Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, and Guo Chengze were sitting in a corner of the airport cafe, discussing things secretly. WatchingThe next special plane was about to arrive, and the staff of the investment promotion event came from outside. They did not come directly to disturb Shen Huai and Jiang Yibin's conversation. Instead, they told them through Su Ping, director of the General Division of the Provincial State-owned Assets Office: "Board of Directors of Baohe Real Estate" Chairman Gu Zejun, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Ma Zhiming and the heads of the Hong Kong co-organizers all came to the airport to pick up Governor Xu and others" Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, Li Gu and others all took the second special plane; Shen Huai and others There were no "important people" on the first special plane we took. It was originally arranged to take the bus directly to the hotel, so there was no welcome ceremony arranged. Shen Huai had never met the Gu family before. When he walked out of the coffee shop with Jiang Yibin and Guo Chengze, he saw that the people from Hong Kong were already in the airport reception hall. Seeing them coming out of the cafe, the people coming to the airport from the direction of Hong Kong also came to greet them. The person in the middle is tall and looks to be nearly sixty years old. Although there was a big age difference between this man and Gu Zexiong, their faces looked similar, and Shen Huai guessed that he was Gu Zejun. Although the old man of the Gu family is still alive, he has been lying in the hospital for several years. Currently, the person in charge of the Gu family is Gu Zejun, the eldest son of Gu Zhengyuan. He is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Baohe Real Estate, but also the president of Baohe Group, the parent company of Baohe Group. The staff who arrived early introduced Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze, Gu Zejun and others. The large screen above the pick-up hall showed that the special plane Xu Pei and others were on was landing, and everyone stood in the hall to chat. Gu Zejun is a man of few words. Regardless of his personality, just from the moment he stepped on the second plane and rushed to the airport, we can know that in his heart he does not take Shen Huai, Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze and others into consideration. Only Xu Pei and Cui Weiping could go to the airport to greet him in person. After nearly a century of colonial rule, Hong Kong returned to the mainland in 1997. It actually has extremely complex and subtle psychological factors towards the mainland - and economically speaking, Hong Kong is much more developed than the mainland, and in recent years it has gradually moved out of Asia. Due to the impact of the financial crisis, Huaihai still gave outsiders the impression of being an underdeveloped inland province. When Shen Huai looked at the staff around Gu Zejun, he seemed to have a psychological sense of superiority over poor relatives. On the other hand, Ma Zhiming, deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, although he is a deputy provincial and ministerial official, has a kind temper. He is also an official in the Department of Accounting and Economics. He has a good personal relationship with Xu Pei. He was the factor that contributed to this large-scale investment promotion event, and he came across in a friendly manner. Talk to Jiang Yibin, Guo Chengze and Shen Huai. But seeing Ma Zhiming¡¯s brows furrowing slightly, Shen Huai guessed that he should also know the reason why Gu Zejun showed up at the airport to greet him. **************************** Soon a large group of people came out of it, and two or three planes landed at about the same time. Xu Pei, Cui Weiping, Li Gu and other members of the investment group were among a large group of people and walked over. Shen Huai then saw that Kou Xuan was also in the crowd, some distance away from her mother Yu Wei, but when she saw him standing outside, she just smiled brightly and did not come over. After all, there were so many provincial and municipal officials here, and Shen Huai didn't know how Kou Xuan would explain their relationship to outsiders after Kou Xuan came over. It seemed that Kou Xuan unintentionally raised the hand holding the mobile phone, probably saying that he would contact her by phone again. . People came and went, and they stayed in the pick-up hall for a while. After a brief greeting, everyone walked out of the hall. Everyone rushed to the hotel by bus. Shen Huai kept his duty as "deputy department bureau level" and did not get in front of Xu Pei and Cui Weiping. He stood behind and watched Gu Zejun and others accompany Xu Pei and the others to take the first bus. , he waited until the second bus came over, and then he and everyone else pushed him to get on the bus. Unexpectedly, Yu Wei and his entourage also followed from behind. "Why did Mr. Yu squeeze into the bus with us?" Feng Zhichu asked Yu Wei with a smile. He glanced at Kou Xuan and secretly said that the mother and daughter were really beautiful. He was originally going to sit in the back row of Shen Huai, but he knew Due to the close relationship between Shen Huai and Kou Xuan, he walked back and left the seats in the back row of Shen Huai to Yu Wei and his daughter. "You can also ask Secretary-General Feng for advice when you take the bus" Yu Wei said with a smile. Although there is a whole team of cars following them, in this case, even Gu Zejun, Feng Zhiming and others are accompanying Xu Pei and others on the bus, otherwise the problem of arranging who will ride with whom will be a torturous task. However, Yu Wei squeezed over to sit on the bus, presumably because she was worried about the threat to her from the cooperation between the Gu family and the Hu family. "Will Mr. Song and Mr. Sun also come to the hotel for the dinner today?" Yu Wei leaned forward and was about to take a seat, and asked Shen Huai who was sitting in the front row. Seeing Yu Wei asking about the movements of Song Hongjun and Sun Qiyi, Shen Huai smiled and said: "I don't know if there are any arrangements to invite them. I just got off the plane and haven't contacted them yet" The Huaihai Chinese Chamber of Commerce organized by Song Hongjun and Sun Qiyi?There are nearly 400 Hong Kong member companies, and they should be the best co-organizers of this large-scale investment promotion event organized by the provincial government. However, some people do not want the Meishan Iron and Steel Department to steal the limelight. Not only was the Huaihai Chinese Chamber of Commerce not invited to become a co-organizer, Song Hongjun , Sun Qiyi were all left out of the invitation list. Shen Huai thought that it was Xu Pei, Cao Zhengjiang and other people who were specifically responsible for this event. How did he feel at this time?
