Chapter 74 Big Stage

Liu Ruotong still left, but during the period she stayed in the capital and lived with Zhao Guodong, she brought Zhao Guodong an unprecedented new feeling.

It seems that the distance between the two is gradually getting closer as they grow older. This is Zhao Guodong's feeling. Although he has not yet reached a real state of harmony, Zhao Guodong feels that there is a trend of development in this regard, which makes Zhao Guodong a little contradictory.

Zhao Guodong thought that Liu Ruotong's departure would make him feel lonely, so he quickly devoted himself to a new field of work, especially this job was full of interest and challenging for him.

The main task of the Planning and Development Department is to timely come up with energy development plans for each stage based on the national economic development status. This plan includes both the national energy policy orientation and the energy type composition development plan and regional layout plan.

Zhao Guodong spent some time studying the basic information needed for his working position. Only when he sat in this position did he realize how superficial and pale his understanding of the national energy strategy was. Although he could make some efforts on the various difficulties that China might encounter in the future with the help of future memories, it seems that it is far from enough now. Now he can make more powerful efforts and achieve more effective results in the position of Director of the Planning and Development Department.

"Isn't this kid coming yet? Is it really a slander that he has become the vice president?" Zheng Jian looked at his watch and asked with a smile.

"That's not the case. He can take the airs in front of others. Brother Jian, he can't beat him up when he comes? But he has to give him three glasses of wine in a while. Well, it should be to congratulate him on his success." Zhao Guodong leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs leisurely. "He just went there, and he probably has a lot of pressure. He is determined to open up the situation."

The China Development Bank did not show any outstanding performance in the past two years. To be precise, it is related to the lack of clear policy support and self-positioning inaccurate relationships, but it is also related to the China Development Bank's own lack of initiative and enterprising spirit. Therefore, Lei Xiangdong adjusted to this position this time, probably because the People's Bank of China hopes to use some fresh blood to drive the development of the China Development Bank.

Lei Xiangdong was transferred to the position of deputy president of the International Development Bank three months ago. It is a policy bank established by China two years ago to support the development of state-owned and private enterprises in China to provide overseas development. Its main responsibility is to provide project financing and financing guarantees for Chinese companies to enter overseas markets, and also provide government loans for foreign governments and enterprises to purchase Chinese products.

However, due to the unclear policies and responsibilities in the past two years, the work efforts of the International Development Bank were not satisfactory. Some companies also questioned the efficiency and capabilities of the China Development Bank, which also attracted the attention of the central and the People's Bank of China to the work of the China Development Bank. Therefore, the personnel adjustments were made to the China Development Bank in the early stage. In addition to retaining one deputy president, all of them were adjusted, including the president and two vice presidents. Lei Xiangdong was transferred to the position of deputy president of the China Development Bank.

"China Development Bank is a junior among our state-owned banks, a policy bank, and has no burden. It should be a stage for good performance. Xiangdong has passed by, and it should make a difference. I think Xiangdong has been running outside for at least the past two months. It seems that he is also determined to open up the situation for China Development Bank." Zheng Jian has now officially served as the president of Anyuan Provincial Construction Bank, and his words are naturally different. "Guodong, you are now in the Planning and Development Department of the Ministry of Energy, and I guess you will have no shortage of time to deal with them China Development Bank."

Zhao Guodong glanced at Zheng Jian with a smile, "Brother Jian, the ones who deal with China Development Bank should be more with the International Cooperation Department. My company, however, has more with ICBC and CCB. After all, it involves the development of domestic energy companies and requires the support of the financial department."

"Well, don't look at me with that eye. It seems that our Anyuan Construction Bank owes the energy enterprises in the province. Which project in the development of the hydropower industry in Anyuan Province has less support from our Anyuan Construction Bank?" Zheng Jian laughed. "Even some of the related enterprises, our Anyuan Construction Bank, has done its best to build some of the companies you used to work in. In order to build the so-called power equipment and materials production base, Ningling Construction Bank has supported a lot in recent years. The loan amount has been released again and again, which has exceeded the other cities with significantly stronger economies than Ningling."

"Okay, Brother Jian, you are too narrow-minded. Can't you look at the problem from a development perspective?" Zhao Guodong retorted, "The setting of loan quotas must also be based on the economic development situation in various places. Perhaps it was because it was backward, but now it had to catch up, so it was more production projects and requires a larger amount of funds. Do you want to analyze these facts in a realistic way? It is biased to use the total economic volume as the standard for measuring loan quotas simply."

"Forget it, I can't beat you, but I know that according to industry rules, the total amount of deposits and loans in each place is proportional to the scale of economic development. If it exceeds this ratio too much, it is abnormal and even risks will be hidden." Zheng Jian said with a faint smile.

"I admit that your so-called industry rules have some truth, but they are not applicable anywhere or at any stage, especially since our country is in an era of change, and economic development cannot be judged completely according to common sense." Zhao Guodong retorted in a verbal manner, "People who are confined to inertial thinking will affect development."

"Every, I know you have feelings for Ningling. When you become the secretary of Ningling Municipal Party Committee one day, let's discuss this issue again? Anyway, I have already greeted Ningling Municipal Construction Bank and asked them to control the scale of lending and pay attention to risks." Zheng Jian smiled and shook his head, "If you have the ability to take out money from Xiangdong, that is the ability."

While the two were chatting and laughing, the host and the guest came in, "What's the matter so lively?"

"Isn't it that your China Development Bank's big investment in recent times? Guodong really wants to know if you can open the gaps in their energy industry and state-owned enterprises abroad?" Zheng Jian said casually.

"Okay, the key is that your companies must have more suitable and reassuring projects." Lei Xiangdong, who was promoted to vice president of China Development Bank, is no longer the same as before. His demeanor and demeanor are more calm and courageous, and he has no reluctance in his words.

"How can overseas investment projects be without risks? If there is no risk, why do you policy banks do? Then why do you find a commercial bank directly?" Zhao Guodong counterattacked without hesitation. "We are already much later than Europe, America, Japan, and even South Korea and India on the road to going out. The risks are low and profitable areas have long been controlled by those European and American energy giants. Our country advocates a peaceful rise. If you want to seize food from a tiger's mouth, you cannot resort to force. What should you do? Then you can only go astray and go to areas where European and American companies have given up due to various political and war risks or ideological reasons to look for opportunities. How can there be no risks in this situation?"

Lei Xiangdong listened to Zhao Guodong's rebuttal and drank a glass of water on his own. "What you said makes sense, but you also need to understand our difficulties. We are not unwilling to conduct business, nor do we want to help domestic companies go global. Although policy banks must obey national interests, we are also banks, and we also pay attention to avoiding risks and seeking returns. Banks are not investors, but capital operators. This needs to be clarified."

Seeing that the two of them were having a lot of arguments as soon as they came up, Zheng Jian could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Do you brothers not plan to have a meal? There are opportunities for you to discuss it enough. I will come to Beijing today to congratulate you on the promotion of Xiangdong and Guodong to Beijing. It is all a gratifying thing. If you really want to save this meal for me, then I can save a meal."

The three of them sat down. There were only three people in the private room. They didn’t care what they ate. They ordered a few of them casually that everyone could accept. In short, the dining in these five-star hotels was similar, just to seek a level and seek an environment, and ultimately they would burn money.

Compared with Lei Xiangdong's several consecutive jumps, Zheng Jian's career was also smooth. He has now ranked as the throne of deputy president of the Provincial Construction Bank. Moreover, the benefits of Anyuan Construction Bank are among the best in the national Construction Bank system, and its non-performing loan ratio is at the end of the national Construction Bank system and the provincial banking system. This is also Zheng Jian's capital that he is quite confident.

However, Zheng Jian also knew that although he had ascended the throne of the provincial president, this was also a bottleneck for many deputy department-level cadres like him. If you want to take another step, it would be more simple than just relying on ability and performance. Compared with Lei Xiangdong, although he had to say that he was even better than the other party in terms of performance, Lei Xiangdong cleverly took advantage of the original opportunity and jumped out of Anyuan and arrived at the central bank. This step really allowed him to break out of the stalemate and walk into a completely different stage, and he was able to get this step today.

Zhao Guodong's jump made him realize the opportunity. The unusual performance of the other party in many aspects made him realize that this former little brother could no longer be viewed with an ordinary perspective. He could easily go from an insignificant mayor of a prefecture-level city in Anyuan Province to the hot director of the Planning and Development Department of the Ministry of Energy. The mystery of this is not something that an expert can't understand.
