Steel Tycoon Reborn

Said to say goodbye to Xiong Wenbin, everyone gathered together, but still couldn't escape the discussion.

Don't look at the fact that Evergreen Group's investment business in Asia Pacific has suffered a lot of setbacks, but its main body in Europe has not been hurt at all. With assets of seven or eight billion US dollars, it is still easy to tap the capital potential of three to five billion US dollars.

Even though the bad economic situation in the Asia-Pacific is palpable, Shen Huai still hopes to persuade the Evergreen Group to invest no less than US$100 million in the Xinpu port business this time.

"Xinpu Refinery's chemical terminal and crude oil terminal have a large scale of construction, which can provide a considerable margin for the development of the petrochemical park; while the Xudong Railway double-track project is difficult to complete within three to five years, and the construction of the iron and coal port area will be difficult. It is also appropriate at present; and for the construction of the comprehensive port area, there is no need for a new injection of US$100 million in a short period of time..." Sun Qiyi said.

In the future, Xinpu Port will form three main port areas: chemical port area, comprehensive port area, and iron and coal port area.

Locally, Xinpu Port Group participates in holding shares on behalf of the county government and Xinpu Development Group. At the same time, it cooperates with Xinpu Refining and Chemical, Xinpu Iron and Steel, Huaimei Group and other enterprises to jointly invest in the construction of multiple terminal berths in these three port areas. The joint ventures will also be responsible respectively, forming a clear and rigorous management structure.

Sun Qiyi came to talk about the joint venture plan of the container terminal in the comprehensive port area. Shen Huai also hoped that the Evergreen Group could participate in the joint venture of the chemical port area, so as to inject more funds into the development of Meigang's port business.

"Old Xiong went to work in Yicheng, and we helped to speed up the construction of Yicheng on the port, which can also be regarded as support for Lao Xiong to work in Yicheng," Shen Huai said, "Of course, it is more important, no matter if the provincial party secretary or governor changes. Who will do it? The province's core idea of ​​strengthening the development of the economic belt along the Zhujiang River will not change significantly in the next ten years. If we expect that the grand occasion of Meixi Port can be replicated in Yicheng in three to five years, then it is not If you want to pick peaches in the future, it is better to actively participate in the construction now. I believe that the Evergreen Group will also have confidence in the future growth space of Yicheng Port. The question now may be whether the Evergreen Group wants to go to Yi alone. City to talk about port investment..."

Sun Qiyi smiled slightly. Of course, he understood that Xiong Wenbin would not go to Yicheng empty-handed to take up a post. Mei Gang would go westward with him? Going westward is not something that is puzzling.

Thinking that when Tan Qiping took a job at Donghua and brought him and Xie Haicheng to invest, it was nothing more than the same thought.

Investment attraction can bring local officials a dazzling halo of political achievements, but it is only a superficial factor. The most fundamental driving force is the internal demand of local economic development.

As long as there is no malicious plunder, the entry of industrial and financial capital and participation in local construction will bring hundreds or even tens of thousands of job opportunities to the local area while driving the development of related industries, benefiting them, and driving the growth of local finance and taxation.

With Xiong Wenbin going westward, Meigang will participate in the port construction of Yicheng, and will also promote the improvement of local infrastructure and industrial supporting facilities. This is also the basic work for Huaihai Province to promote the rapid development of the economic belt along the Zhujiang River.

Not to mention that it can promote Xiong Wenbin's further development, Mei Gang accompanied him westward and helped Xiong Wenbin to secure the seat of executive vice mayor after arriving in Yicheng, which is still capable.

Sun Qiyi hadn't seriously thought about the issue of investing in ports in Yicheng in the past, but Shen Huai threw this issue out, and he couldn't say that he avoided talking about it, and others saw him clearly and said:

"The return period for port investment is very long, and it may take several years or even decades of development for the local economy to form a stable port cargo throughput scale, which is usually not favored by industrial capital in emerging markets. For European and American countries, Most industrial capital has gone through many economic cycles. While pursuing quick money, they also pursue stable and reliable investment returns. I also believe that after Mayor Xiong arrives in Yicheng, he will make great strides in promoting the economy of Yicheng. Development and participation in the construction of Yicheng Port will be an investment with guaranteed profits in the later stage. However, Yicheng faces the river, and the terrain conditions are slightly better than that of Meixi, which does not involve large-scale channel dredging. The initial construction is similar to that of Meixi I and II It is a port area with a comparable project in the future, and the overall investment is even lower. This project is not enough for the Meigang family. Is it really necessary for the Evergreen Group to participate?”

The construction of Meixi Port plays a vital role in the economic rise of Meixi.

It is the first step for Yicheng's economy to take off, to integrate into the economic belt along the Zhujiang River, to speed up the port construction, and to make the Yicheng Yanjiang Port form a seamless connection with the Xudong Expressway and Xudong Railway.

The first and second phases of Meixi Port's river-ocean combined transport project have a designed annual throughput of nearly 10 million tons and a total investment of more than 300 million, which is much lower than that of a deep-water seaport of comparable throughput.

The initial scale of the port construction in Yicheng will not be too large. Local enterprises will participate in it. With the addition of bank loans, the actual capital that Meigang needs to invest may only need tens of millions.

For such a project, Sun Qiyi did not understand why Shen Huai had to participate in the Evergreen Group.

Shen Huai said: "In the port and shipping business, I want to leave all the picks to Zhou Zhibai to be in charge, so as not to have to send someone to watch the east and west, and that's the case. , the manpower is not enough..."

Shen Huai's words were rough, but Sun Qiyi also understood that Shen Huai wanted to integrate all the port investment businesses of the Evergreen Group.

He lowered his head and pondered, even if he guessed that Shen Huai might have exchanged opinions with Sun Yalin's father, he didn't want to express his opinions easily.

Seeing Sun Qiyi pondering, Shen Huai continued: "Changqing Group has expertise in hotel and shopping mall management. From the perspective of resource integration, more favorable development and market development, I prefer Peng Yue International Hotel, The operation of Pengyue Beishan International Hotel, etc., can be entrusted to the hotel management team of Changqing Group. The Group's experience and resources in the operation of shopping malls can achieve better development - I advocate these, and I also want resources to be more effectively integrated, so that things can be done better and the market can be bigger, rather than taking all the immediate interests. Hold it in your hands and don't let it go. Second uncle, do you think this is the truth?"

Sun Qiyi had to admit that Shen Huai's suggestion was somewhat tempting.

In 1994, Evergreen Group acquired a 12-storey property in Tianheng Building and established Four Seasons Evergreen Hotel.

It’s just that the development potential of Donghua was seriously underestimated in those years. The Four Seasons Evergreen Hotel, which was positioned as a business hotel, was far from being able to give full play to the group’s advantages in hotel operation, and its subsequent operating performance was naturally given four stars. The Pengyue International Hotel and Pengyue Beishan International Hotel with high-level positioning have taken a big step.

The competition in the market is so cruel, unless the Evergreen Group invests heavily in Donghua to build a higher standard five-star hotel, it will be difficult to regain the initiative in Donghua.

Now Shenhuai Construction has ceded the management rights of the two hotels to the Evergreen Group, which basically ensures that the Evergreen Group monopolizes the high-end hotel market in Donghua, and then uses this to develop to the surrounding Pingjiang, Yicheng, Xucheng and other places. High-end and business chain hotels will have an excellent platform foundation.

The development trend of Donghua's commercial real estate and retail industry is very good, which is eye-catching, and the supermarket chain is also an important business of the Evergreen Group.

When Sun Qiyi came to Donghua this time, he also specially observed the operation of Pengyue Associates, and told Sun Qiyi to realize that the growth potential of the mainland in this market is actually far better than that of Southeast Asia.

Evergreen Group paid too much attention to the development in Southeast Asia in the past, and its business development in the Mainland was slow and clumsy. Sun Qiyi was also criticized for this, and he almost couldn't keep his seat. It was only after the financial turmoil that he had some thorough reflections.

Many cities in the mainland, especially those with rapid economic development, have called in many international chain retail giants to enter first, leaving the Evergreen Group without a suitable springboard and opportunity to intervene.

If Pengyue Associates is willing to open the gap and allow Evergreen Group to participate in the joint venture, Evergreen Group may regard Pengyue Associates as a seed store and speed up the layout work in other cities.

Of course, everything has a price. Evergreen Group wants to obtain the above-mentioned benefits, in addition to providing 100 million US dollars of funds, it must also hand over the leadership of the future development of port investment business in the Mainland to Meigang.

Shen Huai intends to integrate the resources of the Evergreen Group in the port investment business. In addition to speeding up the construction of Xinpu Port and gathering more forces to participate in the construction of Yicheng Port, there is also a direct benefit of regaining the controlling stake in Meixi Port. ...

Sun Qiyi looked at Sun Yalin and asked, "Have you been in contact with your dad?"

"Second uncle is in charge of the Asia-Pacific side. For the integration of the investment business, we naturally consult with your second uncle first." Sun Yalin said.

Sun Qiyi wouldn't believe what his niece said. He could guess that his eldest brother had no intention of making a public statement to avoid suspicion, but his private attitude was not difficult to guess.

Sun Qiyi secretly speculated that Shen Huai's many actions might be to ensure that his control over Meixi would not be seriously weakened after Xiong Wenbin was transferred.

"Tick tock..."

The cell phone in Shen Huai's trouser pocket rang, and he took out to see that it was Cheng Yi's phone. He went to the window to answer the phone, without preventing Xiong Wenbin, Sun Qiyi, Wu Haifeng, Zhou Yanbin, and Zhou Zhibai from continuing to chat.

Sun Yalin looked happy when she saw Shen Huai answering the phone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When he hung up the phone and walked back, she asked, "What makes you so happy?"

"Oh," Shen Huai said, "The central government's transfer order has come down. Cheng Yi's father will go to work in Hebei Province in two days. I thought it would be delayed until after the 15th National Congress..."

Cheng Wenguang postponed his appointment to Hebei Province until after the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which is only a month away. It seems that the difference is not big, but the actual meaning behind it is very different.

Cheng Wenguang delays his appointment as an acting governor in Hebei Province until after the 15th National Congress. Then he will most likely not be able to resolve the issue of the appointment of the Central Committee members at the 15th National Congress. When other Central Committee members retire, he will have the opportunity to fill the vacancy.

Cheng Wenguang will take office in Hebei Province in two days, so this time the list of Central Committee members will have his place directly. Senior Party officials are very particular about their qualifications. If they are directly selected this time, they will have to serve one full term in the next five years.

Sun Qiyi is very familiar with the situation of the Song Clan. After deducting this news, he secretly felt that the Song Clan was involved in Cheng Wenguang, and he really leaned on a lot of resources. However, he and Xie Haicheng were also estranged later. It is not clear that Shen Huai and Mei Gang are playing behind the scenes. effect. l3l4
