"Yiwei, I'm betting everything on you. If Baitai stands us up, we'll be in big trouble, "Bai Yuxin said weakly.
As for Baitai's attitude, Lu Yiwei could not control it completely. Since Bai Yuxin had pushed the responsibility to him, he had to accept it no matter how difficult it was. "Mayor Bai, Baitai's CEO is my classmate. Plus, they've talked to County Zhang before, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"That's great!" Bai Yuxin said, "Alright, I'll go get something to eat first before returning to Nanyang."
He found a small restaurant and stopped at it. Food was the most important thing to the people. Be it economic depression or prosperity, war or peace, the business of restaurants had always been booming, unaffected by the external environment. The restaurant in front of him was quite prosperous. The entrance was filled with people drinking beer and eating appetizers. It was a comfortable life.
After parking the car, Gu Tong strode into the restaurant and looked for a table to order dishes. He was quite skilled. Ever since he started following Bai Yuxin, he was quick-witted and agile. Moreover, he was an honest person who was strict with his words and did not care about personal gains and losses. Just as he had said, he saw the shadow of himself in Gu Tong.
After sitting down, Bai Yuxin ordered three bottles of beer. She opened one bottle and placed it in front of Gu Tong. Gu Tong quickly said, "Mayor Bai, I need to drive later."
"Drink it first. Since you can't drive later, we'll stay here and go back tomorrow," Bai Yuxin said.
Gu Tong glanced at Lu Yiwei. After seeing Lu Yiwei nod, he carefully took the bottle.
"Do you know Meng Jizhong's daughter?" Bai Yuxin asked after taking a sip.
Lu Yiwei smiled awkwardly. "Not really. She's studying at Bei Zhou University, and she's my girlfriend's student. We've met once."
"Oh." Bai Yuxin said, "Oh right, when do you plan to get married? I heard you found a university professor. Do you want to invite her out for a meal? "
Lu Yiwei smiled. "She won't be here for the next two days. She's on a business trip. Let's treat Mayor Bai next time, alright? "
Bai Yuxin smiled and skipped the topic. "Tomorrow, you go to Baitai Company again and make sure this matter is settled. We need to speed up the process. Mayor Su is trying his best to get some achievements, and Mayor Zhang is also in a hurry. After Shuyang Coal Mine is reformed, we'll immediately turn to Baitai Coal Mine and clear the obstacles. "
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Once Baitai gets involved, Shuyang Coal Mine will be reformed. Mayor Su, Tong Ya Group, do you know anything? "
Bai Yuxin picked up a mouthful of food and said, "A little, not too much. "Not. Tong Hua Group Bai Yu Lu." I Shan Shan Tong. Su. Shan Yuxin Shan Shan and Shan'm in. from, Tong Tong Group is Shan Group Lu is. Shan. "Mayor Bai, I have a few questions. Why did they choose to build a factory in Nanyang County?
After listening to the analysis, Lu Yiwei said, "Mayor Bai, I have a few questions. Since it's such a big company, why did they choose to build a factory in Nanyang County? Nanyang doesn't have any transportation or energy resources. It's strange for them to build a factory here. "
Bai Yuxin frowned. "I have the same question as you. But since they came here to invest, there must be a reason. Who knows, this is Mayor Su's achievement. Let's not ask about it and just focus on the restructuring. "
It wasn't until 11 pm that the County Head, Zhang Zhiyuan, called back. Bai Yuxin briefly reported the situation, and Zhang Zhiyuan did not say much. He only said, "You handle this matter yourself." After that, he hung up. It was obvious that he was feeling uncomfortable.
The next day, Tong Ya Group's people arrived at Nanyang County. According to Su Qiming's arrangement, all the leaders above the deputy director level were there to welcome them. Naturally, Wei Guoqiang, the hero of the investment, was also there.
The delegation first went to Shiwan Village for a field trip, then returned to the County party committee building for a meeting. In the subsequent negotiation, the other party threw out their intention to cooperate. The total investment was one billion yuan, and it was planned to be built in three phases over five years. The first phase was 150 million yuan, mainly for the construction of factories and other basic facilities.
Su Qiming was very happy to hear that. He showed the greatest sincerity to cooperate with the other party. Not only would he provide the land for free, but he would also waive taxes for three years. Both parties hit it off and signed the preliminary cooperation intention on the spot. They also invited the leaders of Nanyang County to visit their company.
The next day, Beizhou Daily published the news: "Xijiang's largest cement factory will be located in Nanyang County." The news immediately caused a sensation in the city. His colleagues called Su Qiming one after another to congratulate him. Even the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Tian Chunqiu, called to express his condolences. "Qiming, you've done a good job on this matter. Looks like I made the right choice back then. Do a good job!" There were also rumors in the streets. "Look, Mayor Su is indeed a big leader. His level is indeed different. He's only been here for a few days, but he's already attracted such a big company to Nanyang. He's much better than Zhang Zhiyuan and Liu Kecheng!" In an instant, public opinion was on Su Qiming's side, and they started to flatter him incessantly. This made Su Qiming so proud that he forgot himself.
Su Qiming's reputation far surpassed that of Zhang Zhiyuan, which made Zhang Zhiyuan feel very aggrieved. He had done a lot of work himself. Compared to Su Qiming, Zhang Zhiyuan was the kind of person who buried his head in work and was unwilling to publicize. Even if he did something big, he was very low-key. On the other hand, Su Qiming was different. He knew the power of publicity. Even if he did something small, he could make it into a big deal. For example, he knew how to package the investment this time. He made a cement factory with an annual output of 100,000 tons the largest in the province, which won him credibility and time.
The biggest beneficiary of this matter was Wei Guoqiang. Su Qiming was happy. He withstood the pressure and removed the punishment from Wei Guoqiang's head. He appointed him as the office director of the coordination team and reappointed him to temporarily take charge of the work in Shiwan Village. Although he was temporarily in charge, he basically had the final say in Shiwan Village. It seemed that the dream of the deputy director of the government office, Li Jianwei, was dashed.
Zhang Zhiyuan had been depressed for the past few days. He had been suppressing a bellyful of anger. Seeing that the Shuyang Coal Mine's reform was progressing slowly, he decided to come down personally and supervise all the teams to speed up and advance at full speed. With the county head personally supervising, the results were obvious. The asset inspection work was completed in advance.
The financial report showed that Shuyang Coal Mine had an annual output of 30,000 tons last year and a turnover of 150 million. After deducting the various taxes and daily operations of the mine, the net profit was almost zero, and it was even losing money. This situation had been going on for seven to eight years, which was shocking.
Looking at the debts, there were debts outside, and the mine owed others quite a lot too. The largest debt was from the bank. Including some miscellaneous debts, the total debt was more than 50 million. Based on this calculation, Shuyang Coal Mine had been operating like an empty shell for a long time and was heavily in debt.
Another set of calculations for the cost of the reform was also out. The total capital needed was 140 million. Among them, the highest cost was the relocation of the employees, which was more than 40 million. The rest was mainly used to repay debts and normal operating capital.
Zhang Zhiyuan read all kinds of reports and account books for two days. He planned to have a good chat with the mine manager, Tao Anguo.
In Tao Anguo's office, Zhang Zhiyuan moved to the desk, while Tao Anguo sat on the sofa, waiting for his lecture. Zhang Zhiyuan was still reading the reports seriously, while Tao Anguo kept wiping his sweat, feeling a little restless.
"Old Tao, how long have you been in Shuyang Coal Mine?" Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly asked.
Tao Anguo was still in a daze. He composed himself and said, "County Zhang, it will be a whole eight years in two days."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan closed the report and looked up at Tao Anguo. "So, you were also in the eight-year war?"
Tao Anguo smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
"Tell me, what are your plans after the reform?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
Tao Anguo had been thinking about this question since the first day of the reform. He had been active all the time, hoping to move to a better unit. He stammered, "County Zhang, I … I will follow the organization's arrangements."
Zhang Zhiyuan sneered. "If you follow the organization's arrangements, will you still be willing to take the vacant position of Guanyu Village's mayor?"
Although Tao Anguo was a mine manager, he was also a section chief cadre. He enjoyed the treatment of a deputy division chief, or even higher. Of course, he was not willing to go to a village after managing such a large enterprise. The best outcome was to be promoted to a deputy division chief and enter the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. If he could enter the County party committee, that would be the best. But Zhang Zhiyuan was using the position of a mayor to negotiate with him. It was obvious that he was not giving him face.
Seeing that Tao Anguo did not say anything, Zhang Zhiyuan said with a straight face, "Old Tao, let me ask you, how much did you take from the imported coal mine equipment?"
Hearing this, Tao Anguo was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He wiped his sweat and stammered, "County … County Zhang, I … I didn't."
Zhang Zhiyuan did not give him face and said, "Last time, you pleaded with the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Guo, and I let you go because you are an old revolutionary." Then he threw the account book to Tao Anguo and said, "Tell me, what is your relationship with Xinyuan Coal Mine Equipment Company?"
Tao Anguo did not dare to look at the account book. He said with fear, "County Zhang, it is just a partnership."
"Is that so?" Zhang Zhiyuan raised his voice and stared at Tao Anguo with raised eyebrows. "Just a partnership?"
"Yes … Yes." Tao Anguo's voice became lower and lower.
"Bullsh * t!" Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Then tell me what is going on in the account book."
Tao Anguo was so shocked that he dropped the account book in his hand. He hurriedly picked it up with trembling hands and glanced at it. Seeing the dense financial transactions with Xinyuan Coal Mine Equipment Company, he did not dare to say anything.
