Feng Yu thought Li Mingde would be able to hold on for a few days. Even if Li Mingde could not hold on for a few days, he would at least ask Zhang Ruiqiang for help. But in the end, Zhang Ruiqiang called Feng Yu and asked Feng Yu to go back to discuss the listing of Bing City Machinery Company.
Why did Zhang Ruiqiang change his mind? Feng Yu had made it clear to Zhang Ruiqiang that it was not because the company does not want to be listed. It was because it was not suitable for the company to be listed for the next two years. The company will surely be listed during Zhang Ruiqiang's term. Can Zhang Ruiqiang not wait for two years?
Actually, it's not that Zhang Ruiqiang cannot wait. It's the Provincial Chief who cannot wait.
The provincial leader was not young anymore. His superiors had already informed him and advised him to prepare to retire at the end of the year. Of course, according to the rules, the Provincial Chief might be promoted by half a rank, or he might be demoted to a vacant position.
The Provincial Chief was already a Governor, and if he is promoted by half a rank, he will be the Deputy Governor. Retiring at that rank will be very different from retiring at his current rank. Also, if he becomes the Deputy Governor, he will be able to work for a longer period of time. It could be said that he was greedy for power, or that he wanted to devote more time, but he didn't want to retire too early. He believed that he still had a strong working ability and could continue to shine. He didn't want to retire too early and live a life of fishing and walking birds.
Longjiang Province was located in a remote area, and its trade was not as good as the coastal provinces. There were also no relevant policies to support the development of Longjiang Province. Another important reason was that the Ministry of Land and Reclamation and Forestry were under the leadership of two departments. The Ministry of Land and Reclamation was under the leadership of the Ministry of Land and Reclamation, and the Forestry was under the leadership of the Ministry of Forestry and the Provincial Government. Most of the revenue from these two departments was handed over to the Ministry of Land and not the Provincial Government.
Longjiang Province's biggest foreign trade was with Russia, and Russia's main export was grains. Of course, Feng Yu's company was also involved in the automobile, department stores, etc. But compared to the coastal provinces, Longjiang Province was still lagging behind.
But Longjiang Province's old industrial base was doing well, and its industrial output was growing faster than the country's average. In some areas, Longjiang Province was already the best in China. For example, agriculture machinery, automobile industry, processing industry, etc.
Previously, the provincial head had never thought that he could still be promoted when he retired. But now, he felt that he had the confidence. He did not even need to retire. Instead, he could be promoted and become a deputy national official!
With his achievements, it's not a big deal for him to compete. But his competitors all have achievements that are not inferior to him. Also, he wants to compete for a real position. At the very least, it should be a ministerial position. He does not want to retire to the second line and get an office position in the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Some time ago, when Feng Yu was attending a meeting with the Central Government, he had heard the report from another province. He also knew why this province was chosen to give a report at the meeting. It was because this province had many listed companies.
Only now did he realize that once a company is listed, its assets will expand a lot, even by a few times! Wouldn't that mean that one yuan would become three to five yuan? One hundred million became three to five hundred million? That was a huge increase in the economy!
Although Feng Yu knew that after a company is listed, its market value will increase, but the shareholders' shares will be reduced. But he still felt that there are more advantages than disadvantages to being listed. If not, why would so many companies want to be listed?
Also, look at those leaders' faces and the Central Government's leaders' satisfied looks. All these had stimulated Longjiang Province's top leader.
If he couldn't produce more results, then he would be a complete failure in this competition!
At his age, there were many people who had retired, and the worst that he could do in the future was to retire to the second line. However, he was used to being the leader and the person who gave orders. Suddenly, most of his power disappeared. This kind of change was hard for him to accept.
Feng Yu still had many ambitions and could still continue working. Why should he retire to the second line? Feng Yu even felt that his achievements were better than many leaders. Why can't he be promoted?
The higher-ups had also appreciated his leadership. What he lacked was a political achievement. A political achievement that could make him stand out from the rest.
In Bing City, a Machinery Factory's market value was only a few million RMB. But after a few years of development, the market value had increased to a few billion RMB. It could be considered as a big company, and this was considered a political achievement.
But Feng Yu felt that this was not enough. Other provinces also had companies worth a few billion RMB, and they were all state-owned enterprises. But if this company's market value was more than 10 billion RMB, who can compete with him? His chances of being promoted would be much higher.
Hua Xia's first listed company worth over 10 billion RMB had appeared under his leadership. Who can say that this was not his credit? Who would be able to cover up such a huge contribution? How could the higher-ups not notice this?
Feng Yu was also someone who had been praised by the Chief Architect, Jiang Damin, Iron-fist Zhu, and many other leaders. If he was 8 years younger, no, 5 years younger, he will surely be promoted to the Central Government.
But Feng Yu was too old, and this was his last chance. If he did not fight for it, he might not get another chance.
Feng Yu knew that Zhang Rui was the one who started the restructuring of Bing City Machinery Company. But he was also the one who supported the restructuring. If Feng Yu did not support the restructuring, would the restructuring be successful? It was impossible for the restructuring to be successful! At that time, all the companies that were restructured were loss-making, and Bing City Machinery Factory was making profits.
Zhang Ruiqiang had a good relationship with that Feng Yu. Many people had complained to Feng Yu that Zhang Ruiqiang had colluded with a private company. Feng Yu was the one who supported Zhang Ruiqiang.
Zhang Ruiqiang had gotten to where he was today was also because of Feng Yu's guidance. If Feng Yu did not transfer Zhang Ruiqiang from the Foreign Trade Office to Bing City Government, Zhang Ruiqiang would not be where he is today.
Zhang Ruiqiang's every move was smooth sailing. Of course, it was because of his capabilities and achievements. But if it was not for Feng Yu's support, Zhang Ruiqiang would not be the Mayor now. Even if Zhang Ruiqiang became the Mayor, he would not be Bing City's Mayor, and his rank would not be a Deputy Minister.
Also, when Zhang Ruiqiang proposed the restructuring of Bing City's Pharmaceutical Corporation and many other companies, Feng Yu's instructions were always to forge ahead and not be afraid of difficulties. Feng Yu will support Zhang Ruiqiang!
People were always selfish. Although Zhang Ruiqiang could be said to be the continuation of his political ambitions, he could still go one step further, and after that, he could still continue to support Zhang Ruiqiang. What was wrong with that?
Feng Yu went to look for Zhang Ruiqiang and had a good talk with him. He hoped that Zhang Ruiqiang could help to persuade Feng Yu to let Bing City Machinery Company be listed. This way, Longjiang Province will have a listed company worth over 10 billion RMB. This way, Feng Yu will have more political capital to help him move up the ranks.
Zhang Ruiqiang was also troubled. He knew that Feng Yu was a genius. He had never seen anyone more successful than Feng Yu in the business world. Even those overseas legendary figures were not as successful as Feng Yu.
Feng Yu had told Feng Yu that Bing City Machinery Company was not suitable to be listed, and Feng Yu chose to believe Feng Yu. But at this time, Feng Yu, who had helped Feng Yu in his career, came to look for him and asked him for help. Feng Yu was in a dilemma.
In the end, the Provincial Government Leader gave in and asked Zhang Ruiqiang to call Feng Yu over. Zhang Ruiqiang wanted to speak to Feng Yu personally, and Zhang Ruiqiang called Feng Yu.
