Chapter 691 The new governor

After Wen Rengui delivered an exciting speech at the Qionghai Cross-Sea Bridge construction site, he did not live in the Haikou site arranged by the Hainan Provincial Government that night, but drove directly to Yangpu Port and visited the construction of Yangpu overnight. He was obviously afraid that the Hainan government would do official articles and wanted to check the picture album. Fortunately, the Yangpu-Haikou-Boao Island Expressway has been opened, and it is very convenient to drive to Yangpu in less than an hour. Hainan government officials also had the confidence to ask Yangxing to accompany him to Yangpu.

As the investment focus of Zhongxing Group, in Hainan Province, the investment amount in Yangpu is far greater than that of Boao, which looks beautiful. Now, the dedicated ports of Zhongxing have been dredged for more than a dozen deep-water docks, and are working overtime to improve the port facilities. Not far away, there were many large steel plants, chemical plants, power stations and other projects planned on paper last year, and the construction period was rushing to rush, and the night could not stop their majestic figures from taking shape. Even in the middle of the night, the entire Yangpu construction site was still brightly lit, with a bustling sound, and a busy scene...

Wen Rengui finished his official duties and sent the people around him very late, but he still called Yang Xing and said he wanted to go out together. Yang Xing knew that the Prime Minister of a country would not be fine and went to the beach to have a breath of wind. He definitely wanted to talk to him about major matters and dared not neglect. He ran in front and roughly introduced the progress of the construction site to Wen Rengui, and guessed in his heart what he was talking about to him.

After staring at the lively construction scene for a long time, Wen Rengui turned to ask Yang Xing: "I heard that the total investment you reported to the Hainan government is US$8 billion?" Yang Xing nodded and replied: "This is the total investment amount of the construction of the ten-year and third phases calculated by the group. If you mentioned that the island-round high-speed railway and Qionghai cross-sea bridge can be completed in advance and meet the government's expectations of "directly connecting to major cities in Hainan within two hours", Yangpu's achievements here will satisfy the group. I can also consider additional investment, which will eventually reach a scale of US$10 billion."

"10 billion US dollars! It's really amazing. I heard that you have invested so much in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong. At that time, Yangpu will catch up with Hong Kong? Tell me honestly, is your assets more than Li Ka-shing now?" Wen Rengui asked Yang Xing jokingly. In fact, the last time Zhongxing Group divided the shares, the central government got 30% of them, and it is entitled to obtain some seats in the board of directors of Zhongxing, so that it can roughly understand the scale of Yang Xing's wealth lurking under the water.

This has not been included in Zhongxing Co., Ltd., and he will definitely not tell outsiders that the funds retained there. This time he brought the Middle East Sovereign Wealth Fund to invest in Zhongxing, making the already complex group capital structure more confusing, so Wen Rengui can only guess at it roughly.

Yang Xing smiled and did not refute, that was to agree. Wen Rengui couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A young man who was less than 30 years old became the richest man in Chinese. This was probably a fantasy in the past, but now we have to be glad that he always stood on the side of the country. He had no intention of calculating the source of Yang Xing's wealth. Yang Xing might have taken advantage of policy loopholes when he made his fortune, but it was basically within the scope of the law. Even domestic bank loans were few, and there was no big mistake to pursue.

Before the last leadership team handed over power, the Party Constitution was revised to confirm that private entrepreneurs were also social workers and allowed them to join the party. Moreover, Yang Xing's identity was from Hong Kong, and it was common for him to have a Chinese richest man or even Asian richest man. Yang Xing had made great contributions to the country, but now no one will make a fuss about his wealth. But relative to his age, it still makes people not very accustomed to it.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been young!" Wen Rengui repeated a sentence that the former Prime Minister had spoken after seeing Yang Xing. Now he felt that Yang Xing was really the help he left to him. After a brief look at the big changes that have taken place in Hainan in just a few years, he believed in this more firmly, so he felt that he could reveal some information to Yang Xing in advance.

"Before coming, the top leader of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee submitted his resignation to the central government, saying that he was satisfied to see Hainan's glory now restored to the provincial capital. With the age of the time, he was willing to hand over the burden to the young leader, and recommend the current governor Wulanqi to us to take over the position of his current governor. The central government has agreed that the official appointment will be issued at the beginning of next year. The key now is to consider the vacant position of the governor. You must know that the position of the governor in Hainan is very popular. The central government has preferential policies and overseas investment is optimistic. A large number of mainland talents are pouring into Hainan. To recreate the grand occasion of 100,000 talents in Hainan that year, who do you think is more appropriate to be the one?"

Yang Xing didn't turn a corner after hearing this. Although he was rich now, he still knew himself. For such high-level political affairs, his influence was simply negligible, and he was not so arrogant that he thought it was the Prime Minister's turn to listen to his opinions. However, he

After a lot of storms, I immediately heard Wen Rengui’s subtext. Could it be that the Hainan Governor, who is the central government’s favorite, is his acquaintance?

"After the inspection, the central government decided to send a young and powerful cadre who is determined to reform and is committed to serving as the next governor of Hainan. Kan Dongtian, vice governor of Zhongyuan Province, is a popular candidate." Wen Rengui said to Yang Xing with a smile. Hearing these words, even Yang Xing, who has always been good at controlling his emotions, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Yang Xing made his fortune, he received strong help from Kan Dongtian, the then deputy mayor of Jiudu City. Later, with Yang Xing's guidance and investment, Kan Dongtian managed Jiudu to be a prosperous business. Jiudu City not only became a model of reform in Central Plains Province, but also a successful example of the reform of large state-owned enterprises in industrial cities across the country.

Jiudu's measures on the overall restructuring of state-owned enterprises, the separation of ownership and management rights, the establishment of a large state-owned asset management group, the reform did not change wages, and the government's guidance of laid-off personnel to re-employ the employment of laid-off personnel has attracted many cities to follow and be praised as the "Jiudu Model", and has been highly praised by the central government. Not only has Jiu become a "large city" directly under the central government, Kan Dongtian also rose all the way with his political achievements, becoming the vice governor in charge of the economy of Zhongyuan Province, and becoming the third person in the province.

If the normal procedures were followed, the Governor of Zhongyuan replaced Li Guozhu, who was about to leave, as the provincial party committee member, and Kan Dongtian should take over as the governor of Zhongyuan Province as step by step. However, now the central government has transferred him to Hainan. In addition to paying attention to his reform ability, it is probably because of his relationship with Yang Xing. A merchant can influence the promotion of a provincial leader. Yang Xing thinks this is the biggest achievement after his rebirth. Although the news cannot be spread, it is enough for him to be excited for a long time.

Fortunately, he was no longer Wu Xia Ameng. After being excited, he was woken up by the cool sea breeze. This is to tie him up with Hainan's development closer. Yang Xing was probably going to be more concerned about Hainan. In addition, he also heard another meaning from Wen Rengui's news. In the previous stage, he took the initiative to provoke food turmoil and acted in the *** to cause friction between his relationship with the central government. Now it seems that he has finally been resolved. The new leadership team still attaches importance to his suggestions. Wen Rengui just pointed out his identity as the richest man in Chinese, and hopes that he can continue to increase investment in national construction.

After learning that Kan Dongtian was coming to Hainan for a new job, Yang Xing was in a good mood and naturally had greater confidence in building Hainan. He talked endlessly about Wen Rengui's vision of Hainan's development plan. In addition to the infrastructure for Yangpu Port, regular cruise flights between Boao and Hong Kong have just been launched, and Xingyue Tourism plans to invest in multiple advanced cruises to operate the route.

Among them, it not only uses gambling boats to attract mainland tourists to compete with Macau, but also uses Boao, Sanya and other island scenery to divert high-end tourists to Hong Kong and Macao. After the high-speed railway from Boao to Yangpu is opened, the transportation from Boao-Haikou-Yangpu is more convenient, and it can also use the high-tech industrial factory buildings in Yangpu Hainan Xingcheng to open new tricks such as industrial tourism. In addition, Xingyue Tourism has built more than ten five-star hotels in various scenic spots in Hainan, it is confident that Xingyue Tourism will compete with the top ten world tourism industry that have entered Hainan.

As for Yangpu Port, with the technical strength of the newly acquired Aselo Steel Group, it is no problem to launch a tens of million-ton steel production line. Zhongxing plans to use the group's ability to dress ore and refine low-grade iron ore to gradually get rid of its monopoly on iron ore such as Australia and Brazil from raw materials, and choose to rely on domestic iron ore and new strategies to import iron ore from neighboring India.

Speaking of this, Wen Rengui also said a small episode. At that time, the prospects for acquiring Aselo Steel Group were unknown. Several domestic large steel mills beat the lawsuit to the top, believing that once Zhongxing acquires it successfully, it will have a great impact on the domestic steel industry structure. He strongly demanded the central government to put pressure on Zhongxing to give up the acquisition or allow equity participation and low-priced technology transfer. As a result, he was sternly rejected by the top, indicating that Zhongxing's normal business behavior had no right to interfere, and this matter was beneficial to the country and the people. He severely criticized their practice of importing Australian and Brazilian iron ore at high prices, saying that they were not enterprising and should be based on domestic iron ore resources, and not always thinking about relying on foreign technology and resources!

Yang Xing asked the names of those steel mills, and they were indeed big players who used Japanese steelmaking equipment. Obviously, his acquisition of Aselo Steel not only offended the domestic vested interest groups in steel, but also made the Japanese behind them panic, thinking of using administrative power to suppress themselves. Unfortunately, the Central Committee has a sharp eyes. On behalf of the China Steel Association, You Sihai, on behalf of the China Steel Association, reported to the Central Committee many of the problems in the domestic steel industry that he had talked to Yang Xing at the time, so the Central Committee firmly supported Zhongxing's major actions in steel.

The most obvious problem is that in the world iron ore negotiations that had just ended, the representatives of the China Steel Association, who participated for the first time, surpassed the traditional Asian representatives of Japan and South Korean steel companies, and refused to accept the threat of double price increase before the iron ore chamber of commerce. They also joined forces with the European steel industry representative Aselo Group to announce that they would withdraw from the long-term iron ore negotiations and prepare to negotiate a new spot contract with other small iron ore dealers in Australia, India, Africa and other places. In the end, the world's three major iron ore dealers agreed to a price that was more in line with the psychological price of domestic steel mills, which can be said to be a victory.
