Resource Tycoon Reborn

"Well, this shows that the state's regulation of the steel industry is effective this time, and it has really made local governments everywhere feel the pain." Fang Mingyuan sighed lightly. Although it is necessary to reduce overcapacity in the steel industry, it is also for the sake of

The future development of the steel industry, but in the process of overcapacity reduction, many people will definitely be hurt. Some people will lose their companies, some people will lose their jobs, and some people will lose their political achievements. Although this time, overcapacity reduction will

, the state will provide certain compensation to these companies that suspend production or even go bankrupt and liquidate, but... this cannot change the fundamentals. And the more economically underdeveloped regions are, the greater the negative impact will be.

Although from this point of view, Fang Mingyuan had already thought of this outcome, but when he heard it, he still felt... heartbroken for those workers who had no fault in the first place but were affected. Because he has not forgotten it.

In his two lives, he has also experienced the pain of workers during two waves of layoffs. Although in this life, he has become a human being, in the previous life, the wave of layoffs wiped out all his parents.

They were all flooded in, and his family had indeed lived a hard life for a long time.

"Master Fang, I have some thoughts on Vice Governor Shang's proposal." Mo Jiaxing hesitated and said, "Purely from the perspective of Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, these steel companies really have no acquisition value.

, it can be said that except that the land may be worth some money and can be bought to do other things, no matter it is equipment, technology, or workers, Liao Iron and Steel Group Company has no need! They can no longer keep up.

The footsteps of Liao Iron and Steel Group Corporation!"

"Well, go on!" Fang Mingyuan nodded. He believed that what Mo Jiaxing wanted to say was not to tell him that these steel companies were not worth acquiring at all.

"But if we look at the overall situation, the loss of Liao Iron and Steel Group Company may be exchanged for the unimpeded flow of brother enterprises in Liao Province." Mo Jiaxing said, "And Liao Province's support for the economic development of Qingshan Province. And

, I heard that Shang Haoxuan is likely to take over as the second-in-command of Liao Province within one or two years. He is now in charge of industry and commerce in Liao Province. So, from this perspective, I think we have to find a way to digest this.

Several businesses.”

"Which state-owned steel companies in Liao Province have no intention of acquiring them? Do they not need their production capacity?" Fang Mingyuan asked. Although the steel production capacity of these companies is relatively small, the total steel production capacity of these companies should be at least two to three million tons.

Beijing's decision to cut overcapacity made it very clear that the country's steel production capacity is not allowed to increase. Those companies that want to continue to expand production capacity must buy production capacity from these eliminated companies. After annexing these companies, it is natural.

In this way, they have obtained the production capacity in their name, which is also to smoothly eliminate backward production capacity.

"I checked and found that the combined production capacity of these companies registered with relevant government departments is only over 1.6 million tons, but their actual production capacity exceeds 5 million tons." Mo Jiaxing spread his hands and said,

"If you buy them, you can only get the registered production capacity of more than 1.6 million tons."

"Haha, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below." Fang Mingyuan understood immediately upon hearing this. This was the result of the country's control over the growth of steel production capacity in the past few years.

"Actually, if these production capacities are not too scattered, it would be valuable to reorganize and transform the five million tons of steel production capacity. But if it is spread among seven or eight companies, the cost of rectification and transformation will be too high." Mo Jiaxing said, "Moreover,

Those large state-owned steel companies in Liao Province are far inferior to ours in terms of scale and profit margins, so naturally they look down upon these companies even more. And..." Mo Jiaxing said ten times.

After a few minutes, it was finally over.

"Okay, then acquire them and come up with a charter on how to digest them!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "In the future, you don't have to report this kind of thing to me. I believe you will grasp the appropriateness in it.

."

Mo Jiaxing did not stay long. He came to the capital to report the good news to Fang Mingyuan and report on the recent work of the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company. At the same time, he had many other things to do in the capital. But before he left,

At that time, he also told Fang Mingyuan about the unconfirmed news that the Sancheng high-speed railway from Bingcheng to Sanshan City was under construction. I heard that there was a problem with funding.

After seeing off Mo Jiaxing, Fang Mingyuan returned to the house, but was thinking about the news in his heart. The Three-City High-Speed ​​Railway goes south from Bingcheng City in Longjiang Province, and finally arrives in Sanshan City in Liao Province. The entire railway passes through

The three major capital cities of the three northeastern provinces and Sanshan City, the four important economic cities in the three northeastern provinces, have a total length of nearly 1,000 kilometers and an estimated investment of 103.7 billion yuan in construction. It can be said to be the largest construction project in the three northeastern provinces in recent years.

It is an important railway line. It was started at the beginning or the middle of last year. Fang Mingyuan has no memory of the specific time. However, during the Chinese New Year, my uncle Shi Wensheng talked about this railway many times. The governments of the three northeastern provinces have no idea about this railway.

We attach great importance to it and hope that the new air transport capacity of the three-city high-speed railway can be used to alleviate the current tight railway transport capacity in the three northeastern provinces. Although the financial resources of the three northeastern provinces are not rich, the local governments of the three provinces still squeezed out funds to cooperate with the Ministry of Railways.

Among the three local provinces, Liao Province is responsible for the largest share of the joint construction of this railway, accounting for about 75%. But this is normal, because more than half of the mileage of the three-city high-speed railway is in Liao Province.

The province has the most generous finances among the three provinces.

Before he could sit firmly, the cell phone on the table rang. Fang Mingguo picked it up and said, "Uncle!"

"Mingyuan, let me ask you something. If the provincial governments of the three northeastern provinces hand over the operation rights of the three-city high-speed railway to Pingchuan Railway Transport Company, can Pingchuan Railway Transport Company guarantee that it will spend at least 50 billion yuan in construction funds?

?" Shi Wensheng asked.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan immediately sat up straight. He was just thinking about what went wrong with the capital chain for the construction of the three-city high-speed railway. Shi Wensheng came to ask Pingchuan Railway Transport Company if they could come up with the money. It was too coincidental.

Already?

"Aren't you going to build the Fengjing Railway and the Jingtang Railway? The Pingchuan Railway Transport Company doesn't have to spend 50 billion yuan all at once. It only needs to be paid out gradually in about three years." Shi Wensheng continued.

"Is there really something wrong with the capital chain of the Three-City High-Speed ​​Railway?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically.

"Ah, you already know?" Shi Wensheng asked in surprise, "Where did you know it?" His voice immediately raised an octave.

"Mo Jiaxing, chairman of the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company, just left my place. He told me that the news was not yet certain." Fang Mingyuan explained, "I just sent him away, and when he came back, the chair was still warm.

Well, your call is here."

"Huh..." Shi Wensheng on the other end of the phone seemed to let out a sigh of relief, and said after a while, "This matter must not be spread to anyone else. There are indeed some problems with the construction funds of the three-city high-speed railway..." It turns out that...

A week ago, the Ministry of Railways suddenly summoned all parties involved in the construction of the three-city high-speed railway and announced that due to financial constraints, the Ministry of Railways would give priority to ensuring the construction of several high-speed railways in the central and southern parts of the country. Therefore, the construction of the three-city high-speed railway would be slowed down.

Speed, and not only the Ministry of Railways, but also Liaoning Province claimed that it was financially tight and could only afford about 60% of the construction funds. This makes the current funds of the Three-City High-Speed ​​Railway only available until the end of the year. That is to say, if

If this problem cannot be solved, the construction of the three-city high-speed railway will have to be slowed down or even stopped in early 2009!

"The construction period of the three-city high-speed railway is already long. Even if it is completed normally, it will not be completed until the end of 2012. In order to build this railway as soon as possible, the local governments of the three provinces have invested a lot in land acquisition in the early stage." Shi Wensheng said solemnly.

Road. Although it is said that the completion and operation of high-speed railways may not necessarily make profits, but after all, during the construction process and after operation, they can play a strong driving role in the economic development of the three provinces. And if the construction of high-speed railways is postponed or stopped

, then their initial investment may turn into a bad debt! Now that the global and domestic economies are slowing down or even declining, this is undoubtedly what the three provincial governments do not want to see. For these officials,

It is also disadvantageous.

"Is Liao Province really short of funds?" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and asked again.

"On the one hand, funds are indeed tight, and more importantly, someone is siding with the Ministry of Railways." Shi Wensheng said bitterly. In order to raise funds for the three-city high-speed railway, he spent a lot of effort, even to the extent that he

Come forward and get loans from banks. If the construction of the three-city high-speed railway is delayed or even stopped, even if most of the bank loans can be repaid, then the enterprises under the Qingshan Provincial Government will have to pay tens of millions of yuan in interest every year.

.Not to mention the local government's investment in land acquisition in the early stage. Qingshan Province's fiscal deficit every year, Shi Wensheng wanted to break a penny in half and spend it, but something like this happened.

Fang Mingyuan said: "Uncle, is it your personal wish to ask Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company to take over the three-city high-speed railway project, or..."

"It is the common opinion of the Longjiang Provincial Government, Qingshan Provincial Government and some leaders of Liao Provincial Government. If Pingchuan Railway Transport Company is interested in this project, then we will take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, we will negotiate with Pingchuan Railway Transport Company, and on the other hand, we will

Even if the Ministry of Railways is in charge of railway construction across the country, it can't favor one over the other!" Shi Wensheng said. In the past few years, the three northeastern provinces have only had such a decent railway construction project, and Longjiang and Qingshan provinces are still hoping to take advantage of it.

This shareholder wind has boosted local GDP.

"Mingyuan, although we haven't discussed it in detail yet, I can tell you responsibly that the attitudes of our three provinces on this matter are basically the same. As long as Pingchuan Railway Transport Company takes over this project and completes its construction

When it comes to operation, other aspects are easy to negotiate, and Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company will not suffer losses." Shi Wensheng said that Qingshan Province's finances have been dragged down, and Longjiang Province and Liao Province are not much better than it. The three northeastern provinces

The economy has been in bad shape over the years. Now that the global economy is in turmoil, domestic exports will definitely be affected. If the situation worsens, no one can bear it.

"Uncle, this incident is so sudden. I am not mentally prepared at all. Do you want me to make a decision now?" Fang Mingyuan said with a bitter smile, "Why do you have to give me three days to recruit people to discuss it?

It can be done at once****. I promise to give you and everyone a definite answer in three days. Is this okay?"

Only then did Shi Wensheng realize that he was a little too anxious. Although he knew that Fang Mingyuan was worth hundreds of millions, and although the investment of 50 billion yuan was a large sum, for Fang Mingyuan, it was far from enough to make him want to plunder his family fortune.

But for a 50 billion yuan investment project, even if it is a cooperation with the government, even if Shi Wensheng is Fang Mingyuan's uncle, he will never decide to take it over just by calling him and listening to his general explanation. He will give a reply three days later.

This was already extremely fast and gave them enough face.

"But I will also give you a clear idea. As long as the Pingchuan Railway Transport Company needs, let alone 50 billion yuan, it is 100 billion yuan, 150 billion yuan, I can also raise it. Money is not a problem. The problem is us

Can you persuade the Ministry of Railways to give up this project? If there is no operating right, Pingchuan Railway Transport Company cannot be taken advantage of." Fang Mingyuan said.

"I understand, everyone understands!" Shi Wensheng said. The recovery speed of domestic railway investment is originally slow, and the Ministry of Railways often suffers losses in operations. Pingchuan Railway Transport Company itself is an operating company and has never invested its own construction funds in railways.

According to the principles of the Ministry of Railways, if we really do that, I'm afraid it will be synonymous with stupidity in the eyes of the world.

After hanging up his mobile phone, Fang Mingyuan almost jumped up with excitement. He had never thought about the problem of building a railway in the Northeast. There was no shortage of good things in the Northeast, but it lacked transportation capacity! Domestic non-GMO soybeans are transported by sea in Primorsky Krai, Russia.

Before the channel was opened, if you wanted to transport goods into the Central Plains, the leaders of Longjiang Province would have to ask the railway system for trains! Even now, Longjiang Province and Qingshan Province can use the ports of Primorsky Krai for shipping, and the Northeastern region’s southbound transportation capacity.

Still nervous!

The Fang family wants to develop in the three northeastern provinces and support Shi Wensheng's work. The transportation system is undoubtedly a very important part of it. The roads are better, but it is difficult for the railway system to get involved. Take a look at Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company

Just look at the application for Fengjing Railway and Jingtang Railway. If it weren't for the contribution of China Mingyuan in that natural disaster, and many leaders above had spoken, the Ministry of Railways would have still refused to approve it. (
