Chapter 3 Finalize the cement plant project

The cement plant project is currently the largest project in Yiyang, and it will generate a lot of tax revenue after completion.The county's finances are tight, so naturally it attaches great importance to this project, and the secretary of the county party committee, Zhu Yan, personally served as the leader of the leading group of the cement plant project. Yesterday he arranged for Yang Dajin, director of the county planning committee, to contact Huang Yishu, vice president of Qingda Group, and the two sides agreed to have a discussion in Lingxi this morning. The headquarters of Qingda Group is located in the southwestern suburb of Ling, covering an area of ​​about 100 mu. The gate is quite grand, and the words "Qingda Group" are shining in the sun.

When Zhu Yan's car drove up to the gate, a tall and handsome security guard stepped forward to salute and stopped the car with his hand. "Show your pass, please." Lao Liu drove for the secretary of the county party committee. He passed through the county without hindrance for a long time and was rarely stopped by anyone. After he was stopped by the security guards, he honked his horn twice impatiently. Hou Weidong slid down the car window and said, "We're looking for Mr. Zhang, we have an appointment." The chairman of Qingda Group is Zhang Mushan. It is divided into many companies and branch factories, each with its own boss. The security guard asked, "Which one is Mr. Zhang?"

"Boss Zhang Mushan." The security guard saw the visitor's serious tone, and said respectfully, "Who are you, please? I'll call the general office right away." "We belong to the Yiyang County Party Committee." The security guard had been instructed a long time ago, and when he heard that it was the car of the Yiyang County Party Committee, he saluted with a slap, made a gesture of moving forward like a traffic policeman, and said, "Leader, please go straight ahead and stop at the square with sculptures." , the headquarters is next to the sculpture."

The sculpture is pure realism. An exaggerated and deformed excavator soars to the sky, showing that the working class is very powerful. Looking at the excavator sculpture, Zhu Yan smiled and said: "Zhang Mushan is a real person. He installed a big excavator in the square. It seems that he started his career in earth and stone work." Turning to Hou Weidong, "In the future, Yiyang will introduce enterprises. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce such a powerful large enterprise, whether it is a foreign capital or a private enterprise, as long as it has strength, we welcome it."

This is the second time Hou Weidong has heard the topic of foreign capital and private enterprises. He secretly thought: "Being a secretary with the secretary of the county party committee is a different level after all. In the future, I should read more newspapers and study editorials, so as not to be looked down upon by the leaders due to lack of theoretical level." As soon as he got off the car, he saw Yang Dajin walking out of the building with several people.Yang Dajin walked quickly to the car, and said to Zhu Yan: "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Huang are waiting upstairs. When we came here yesterday, Mr. Huang spoke very hard."

On the second floor, Zhang Mushan, Huang Yishu, and Gao Ning, the deputy magistrate in charge of industry in Yiyang County, stood at the stairs and waited for Zhu Yan. Zhang Mushan wore a thin navy blue suit, elegant and energetic. He said warmly: "Welcome Secretary Zhu to visit Qingda Group." He shook hands with Hou Weidong, and said: "The trip to Qinglin Wangriling has given me endless aftertaste. This autumn, I will ask my brother to be your guide, and then go to Wangriling." Seeing that Zhang Mushan took longer to shake hands with him, Hou Weidong couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhu Yan, seeing that his expression was the same, he was relieved.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone went to the conference room.Deputy county magistrate Gao Ning first spoke on behalf of the Yiyang county government, and the focus was still on welcoming Qingda Group to invest in Yiyang and so on.Huang Yishu followed up with a speech, raising demands on land, transportation, taxes and fees.Yang Dajin of Yiyang Planning Committee then explained Huang Yishu's request. Zhu Yan and Zhang Mushan, as their respective top leaders, did not speak and remained silent.The two sides have repeatedly engaged in back-and-forth on specific issues, but there is still no substantive progress.At 11 o'clock, Zhu Yan pressed the switch of the microphone in front of the desk and said, "Let me say a few words."

The venue was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop on the ground. Zhu Yan was full of momentum and his voice was loud, and said: "For the cooperation between Yiyang and Qingda Group, I only have an attitude, talk about metaphysical things, and the specific issues will be discussed by County Magistrate Gao. "I like to read newspapers, and I am more concerned about national affairs. Since June, there have been some debates in the theoretical circles. Many theorists have strongly criticized the private economy. They believe that reforms have led to the liberalization of capitalism. Subject, this kind of argument is very strong.”

When everyone heard Zhu Yan suddenly talking about theoretical issues, they didn't understand what he meant.Huang Yishu is a returnee, and has always believed that the market economy is a matter of course. Hearing Zhu Yan's speech, he felt even more baffled. The Qingda Group under Zhang Mushan is a well-known private enterprise in Lingxi. Its development experience is basically in sync with the reform. Very uneasy.Huang Yishu felt that Zhu Yan's speech was inexplicable. Zhang Mushan had experienced the Cultural Revolution era and knew the power of theory, so he was immediately attracted by Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan talked about theory for a while, then changed the topic: "For large private enterprises like Qingda Group, land and taxation are all technical aspects. What private enterprises need most now is national treatment, enlightened policies and a relaxed environment. , This is the real strength of Yiyang County. I hope that Qingda Group will definitely consider this factor when making decisions." He made this speech well prepared.Deputy Director Jiang of the Provincial Department of Finance once analyzed Zhang Mushan's psychological crux for him.All his speeches are aimed at his crux.

Zhang Mushan listened very carefully, and he wrote on the paper with a pen: "policy, environment." Although the four words were messy, the strokes were extremely firm. The symposium was not long, and when it was about to end, Zhang Mushan said straightforwardly: "The board of directors of the company agrees in principle to invest in the construction of a 500,000-ton cement plant in Shangqinglin, Yiyang County, and an intentional contract can be signed in the near future. For specific matters, Huang Yishu, deputy general manager, will negotiate with the Yiyang county government." Qingda Group has long made it clear that it will invest in Shangqinglin, and its previous encounters with the Yiyang County Government were normal business negotiations.Today, Zhu Yan came to the scene, and Zhang Mushan made his official statement. Hearing Zhang Mushan's statement, the venue burst into warm applause.Hou Weidong once heard Zhu Yan's analysis of the situation, and now his analysis is basically consistent with the reality, he was greatly relieved, and secretly said: "The dust has finally settled on this negotiation." At noon, Qingda Group held a small-scale welcome reception with a Western-style buffet. Everyone held up glasses and toasted each other, and the atmosphere was warm.When Zhang Mushan and Hou Weidong touched wine, Hou Weidong said in a low voice: "I will be Secretary Zhu's secretary now." Zhang Mushan said: "I wish the secretary a high level, follow him and have a bright future." Several waiters came up with some small bowls on trays, and presented a bowl in front of each person with a very solemn look.Hou Weidong lifted the lid and saw something like vermicelli in the bowl. He guessed that it should be the so-called shark's fin. He peeked at the others and they were all eating with small bowls with relish.It tastes good, that's all. After the banquet, Zhang Mushan and Zhu Yan had a private exchange in the lounge. A few days later, Deputy County Magistrate Gao Ning, Yang Dajin and others negotiated with Huang Yishu many times, and the few obstacles between the two sides were quickly cleared.A few days later, Zhang Mushan took the experts invited from Beijing to investigate again.These experts are very familiar with relevant state departments, and if they have no objection, the cement plant project can enter the actual operation stage. The deputy mayor of Shazhou, Liu Conveyor, attached great importance to the cement plant project. He took the backbone of the Shazhou Planning Commission and personally accompanied Zhang Mushan to Yiyang County. According to the custom, the secretary of the county party committee generally does not need to go to the county to receive leaders at the deputy mayor level of Shazhou.However, Liu Conveyor is in charge of the industry and has many projects in his hand. He is considered a heavyweight among the deputy mayors of Shazhou. In order to attract more projects, Zhu Yan came to Sha Wanzi in the county to meet Liu Conveyor in person. At 2:40 p.m., three small cars appeared in the direction of Shazhou. The first one was the police hitchhiker with the Sha 0 license conveyed by Liu, and the two cars behind were Zhang Mushan's. Zhu Yan was waiting for Liu Conveyor at the door of the car. When Liu Conveyor got out of the car, his two powerful hands were tightly held together. "Mayor Liu, I hope you will visit Yiyang once a month." Liu conveyed with a big laugh and said: "I wish the secretary is a drunkard. I come to Yiyang every month. I don't have so many good projects in hand." Everyone laughed along with the leader. Zhu Yan shook hands with Zhang Mushan again: "I heard that Qingda Group is going to build a Shazhou branch, and I suggest building it in Yiyang County. The land price in Yiyang is much cheaper than that in Shazhou, and there are more preferential policies." Zhang Mushan said implicitly: "I'm considering it." The police car in front cleared the way, and the four cars did not stop at Yiyang County, but drove directly towards Yiyang Shangqinglin. The car soon arrived at Tiejian Mountain in Shangqinglin.Several small cars were parked by the side of the road, attracting surrounding residents to watch. Gray and yellow dogs ran around beside the cars.Several women watching the scene recognized Hou Weidong, and one of them shouted: "Madman Hou, what are you doing here? Are you going to open a factory? First open a back door, and I will come to work in the factory later." One person took the lead, and the others shouted in disorder: "Madman, are we going to occupy land this time? The bamboo and peach trees in our back mountain are all counted as money." Seeing these women arguing lively, Zhu Yan said to Hou Weidong beside him: "You are very prestigious in Shangqinglin. I think you are more popular than the town officials." Hou Weidong said modestly: "I used to be a cadre stationed in the village of Shangqinglin. There is only such a large land on the mountain, and everyone is familiar with it." A group of people walked in depth towards Iron Shoulder Mountain.Along the way, people kept saying hello to Hou Weidong. The pack of clouds and smoke he was carrying had all been dispersed. Liu Conveyor has met Hou Weidong twice, and his deepest impression is that this young man can drink, his face will not be red-eyed or messed up after a catty of wine, and he has the demeanor of a general.Seeing that Hou Weidong was like a fish in water in Shangqinglin today and was very popular with the masses, he boasted: "Secretary Zhu, you really know how to choose a secretary. You can rest assured that you can use this kind of practical cadre." Zhu Yan didn't comment, just nodded. This time the field survey went smoothly, and the Tiejianshan Cement Plant project was basically finalized.
