"You know this person. He's Ding Changhua, the CEO of Donghua Industrial Group. Haha, I heard that you guys have a special relationship, "Yang Derong said half-jokingly.
Zhang Zhiyuan said calmly, "Oh, it's him. Did he look for you?"
"Yes, he looked for me several times. He said that he wanted to contract the coal mine in Shiwan Village. I heard that the conditions were not bad, and I was interested in letting him contract it. I wanted to hear your opinion."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan asked, "Why didn't he look for me?"
Yang Derong had already thought of an excuse. He said, "It's because you two have this relationship. He was afraid that it would affect you badly, so he looked for me. I think it's feasible. "
As mentioned earlier, Ding Changhua used to be an accountant in a state-owned enterprise. Later, he got to know Guo Jinzhu, who was the deputy mayor at the time. He earned his first bucket of gold by contracting the construction of the moat. After that, with the help of Guo Jinzhu, his business grew bigger and bigger. He established Donghua Industrial Group and entered the real estate industry, becoming the most famous private enterprise in Bei Zhou City. Now, it had the Tiandu International Hotel and more than ten buildings under construction. Its total assets were approaching the 100 million mark.
Without Guo Jinzhu, Ding Changhua might still be a nobody. He would not have the industry and status he had today. Of course, benefits were always mutual. Ding Changhua used his money to send Guo Jinzhu to the mayor's position, achieving a win-win situation.
Ding Changhua was a businessman. His goal was to maximize profits. When Mayor Lin Haifeng decided to build the new city, he looked for Guo Jinzhu and wanted to get a few big projects. Guo Jinzhu was the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He was not in charge of projects. Moreover, he was not on good terms with Lin Haifeng. Lin Haifeng gave face to Guo Jinzhu and let Ding Changhua take on a few small projects. Of course, this could not satisfy his desire.
One had to know that the entire project of the new city district had a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan, and there were as many as 30 construction projects. Among them, the largest project was the administrative center and ancillary projects, which had an investment of more than 200 million yuan. How could such a big piece of cake fall into the hands of others? Ding Changhua, on the other hand, had several commercial and residential building construction projects in his hands. He was not willing to give up. In order to fight for the administrative center project, he made up his mind to bypass Guo Jinzhu, paid a huge price to knock on Lin Haifeng's door, and finally won the bid for the project.
If Ding Changhua did this, Guo Jinzhu would definitely be unhappy. What did that mean? Are you planning to fly solo now that your wings have hardened? Because of this, Guo Jinzhu severely criticized Ding Changhua. After that, the relationship between the two seemed to be polite on the surface, but in fact, cracks had appeared. Ding Changhua secretly switched to Lin Haifeng's side and found a new backer.
Zhang Zhiyuan had been promoted by Guo Jinzhu. Guo Jinzhu and Ding Changhua didn't get along well, so he naturally couldn't get too close to this person. What puzzled him was that Ding Changhua's real estate business was in full swing. Why would he want to invest in a resource-based enterprise? Thinking of the deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Xu Caimao, who said that the price of coal would be liberalized, Zhang Zhiyuan guessed that Ding Changhua had already smelled something.
Ding Changhua wanted to invest in Nanyang, but not him, found Yang Derong. This indirectly showed that he was deliberately keeping a distance from him. It also showed that his relationship with Mayor Lin Haifeng was not ordinary. Otherwise, Yang Derong wouldn't be so proactive.
In fact, Zhang Zhiyuan had heard that Ding Changhua wanted to contract the Erbao Coal Mine. However, Qin Erbao's case had not been announced, and no action had been taken. Now that Qin Erbao was in prison, all his illegal gains were confiscated, and the contract returned to the hands of Shiwan Village, which owned the coal mine. In addition, he also learned from Lu Yiwei that Ding Changhua had already privately contacted Pan Chengjun, who originally had the contract, and asked him to withdraw with a price of 500,000 yuan. It seemed that he had been eyeing the mine for a long time.
Zhang Zhiyuan pretended to be polite and said, "It's a good thing that CEO Ding wants to invest. From the perspective of the County party committee, we should strongly support strong enterprises to invest in our county. However, the Erbao Coal Mine is the collective property of the village. As the county government, we can't interfere too much. In addition, Qin Erbao's contract with the original contractor, Pan Chengjun, was forcefully terminated. The court ruled that Pan Chengjun has the priority to continue the contract. We have to consider these things. "
Yang Derong patted his chest and said, "Secretary Zhang, you don't have to worry about these things. I have already contacted Shiwan Village in advance, and they have all agreed. After all, CEO Ding has prestige in Beizhou City. As for that Pan Chengjun, he's an outsider. Does he have a sense of responsibility? He only has money in his eyes. Once he earns enough money, he can just leave. What benefits can he bring to Nanyang County? In comparison, I think CEO Ding is more reliable. "Yang Derong's words showed that he looked down on Pan Chengjun.
In fact, Zhang Zhiyuan already had an answer in his heart. Since it was related to Lin Haifeng, and his relationship with Ding Changhua was not bad, if he offended these two, it would not be beneficial to anyone. Since he was going to contract the mine, giving face to Ding Changhua was also giving him a way out. However, Guo Jinzhu was involved in the middle. How was he going to get over this hurdle? Also, even if he agreed, it could not be done easily. He had to fight for more benefits.
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Since County Yang has agreed, I have nothing else to say."
Hearing this, Yang Derong's face bloomed like a flower. He said excitedly, "So, Secretary Zhang has agreed?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "I can agree, but there are conditions."
"Please say it!" Yang Derong seemed to have forgotten his identity and said impatiently.
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Erbao Coal Mine is one of the three major industrial parks that I have set up. Since Ding Changhua wants to contract it, he must follow my ideas. He must rely on the coal industry to further extend the coal industry, develop upstream and downstream of the coal industry, and build a related enterprise. For example, Beihe Town Industrial Park has invested in the construction of a coking plant, and recently intends to invest in a power plant. Baitai Coal Company plans to build a coal chemical plant, so this is a necessary condition. "
Yang Derong was a little unhappy. Was this not a forced purchase? However, this was not too much. He said, "Secretary Zhang is right. This should be done."
"Also," Zhang Zhiyuan said, "we can't keep the mess of the cement factory on hold. If he really intends to invest, he must absorb this project as well."
This was a little unreasonable. The cement factory project could not be taken down with a mere tens of millions. Yang Derong said, "The cement factory project is still a project of the Tong Ya Group, and the contract has not been terminated. If we unilaterally break the contract, we will have to bear the responsibility. In addition, isn't it a little inappropriate to let Ding Changhua take over this unfinished project? "
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "You already know the truth. The investment company has nothing to do with the Tong Ya Group, but invested in the name of the Tong Ya Group. Now, the investment company is empty, and it exists in name only. What's the point of breaking the contract? Derong, the cement factory is a sore point for Mayor Su. If you and I can cure his heart disease, do you think it's worth it? "
Regarding the matter of the cement factory, although Nanyang had done a good job in keeping it a secret, there was no wall that could not be leaked. It had long been a hot topic, and everyone knew that Su Qiming had been cheated. Fortunately, the loss was not great. After that, not only did Su Qiming not receive any punishment, but he was also promoted to the Deputy Mayor. However, this matter had been pressing on his heart, and he had talked to Zhang Zhiyuan many times, hoping to digest this failure as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhiyuan's words made Yang Derong have no choice but to reconsider. He said, "Secretary Zhang, in fact, you and I both know that Shiwan Village is not suitable to build a cement factory. If we let Ding Changhua take over, won't we be digging a hole for him?"
"Must we build a cement factory?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
"…" Yang Derong could not answer for a moment. After a long time, he said, "Ding Changhua only has a preliminary intention. He can bring up these conditions during the formal negotiations. How about this, Old Ding has been wanting to visit you for a long time. Why don't you meet him alone? "
"No need!" Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "You will be fully responsible for this matter. As long as he agrees to my conditions, I have no objections."
"Alright then!" Yang Derong said, "I will talk to him later."
"Is there anything else?" Zhang Zhiyuan said tiredly.
Yang Derong said, "There's one more thing. It's almost New Year's Day, and Mayor Lin also said that we need to focus on safety and stability before and after the Spring Festival. He specifically emphasized on coal mine safety and forest fire safety. I plan to conduct a major safety inspection of the county's coal mines. What do you think, Secretary Zhang?"
"I agree!" Zhang Zhiyuan struggled to sit up and said, "The Guiyu fire incident this Spring Festival is a bloody lesson. We must not be careless when it comes to safety."
"Mm." Yang Derong added, "I have handed this matter over to Gao Bowen, who is in charge of safety. If you have no objections, we will start the operation in the next two days. Alright, seeing that you don't look well, I won't disturb your rest. I will leave first. "
After Yang Derong left, Zhang Zhiyuan seriously analyzed the Ding Changhua incident. This matter had to be reported to Guo Jinzhu. Thinking that he had not visited Guo Jinzhu since he arrived in Xi Zhou, he decided to make a trip to Xi Zhou City tomorrow night.
Zhang Zhiyuan was too tired to think about anything else. He got up and strode out of the office. He said to Xiao Yang who came up to him, "Give Guo Kai a call and send me back to the dormitory."
With Lu Yiwei's guidance, Xiao Yang said with concern, "Secretary Zhang, I have arranged for the cafeteria to make some soup for you."
Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "No, I have no appetite. I don't want to eat." As he said this, he walked downstairs. Seeing this, Xiao Yang quickly followed him with his briefcase.
When they reached the dormitory, Zhang Zhiyuan did not let Xiao Yang send him upstairs. He went upstairs alone, locked the door, and laid down on the bed, snoring not long after.
It was night again! Nowadays, Lu Yiwei was most afraid of darkness. The taste of loneliness was extremely painful. Unlike others, Lu Yiwei did not like noisy environments. He preferred quiet places where it was lively. This might have something to do with his personality, or it might have something to do with the fact that he had stayed in East Tile Village for five or six years. In his spare time, drinking a cup of tea and reading a book was the best. However, he could not calm down at this time, much less read a book.
