Just as Li Cong was thinking about the land, the municipal committee of Féi City also held a meeting for Li Cong's company. The theme was to support the companies in the region so that the government could obtain the corresponding benefits. However, Li Cong had said more than once that the energy group would not accept any external investment under any circumstances. He wanted 100% control of the energy group, or he would rather not cooperate.
"Everyone, I believe that everyone has recently heard about this energy group that appeared in Wenyang Town. It's not our fault that it did not attract our attention when it started to develop. After all, its various activities in the beginning bypassed the town and county levels of government. Moreover, it's now affiliated with China National PetroChina. It's even more inappropriate for us to point fingers at them. In my opinion, we should treat it as an ordinary enterprise and try our best to get the subordinates to look for trouble. We can't afford to offend PetroChina. Besides, the person in the province has already informed us many times. As long as he doesn't evade taxes, it has nothing to do with us.”The one who spoke was Huang Jiang, the secretary of the municipal party committee. He was an old party member in his fifties. After this term, he would go to the People's Congress to retire. Naturally, it was better to avoid trouble.
"Secretary Huang, I don't think we should be so conservative. Of course, we officials have to make decisions for the people. He is developing in our territory, so we have the obligation to support such a promising enterprise. We have all seen the report. In a few years, he will become a large national enterprise, or even faster. His company currently has hundreds of employees. According to his current development speed, if his second phase of the project is fully launched, I'm afraid he will need thousands or even tens of thousands of workers."A large enterprise with more than 10,000 people has appeared in our region. The effect it brings shouldn't be that little tax. I think their transportation capacity has already reached its limit. If they want to increase their transportation capacity, they will build roads. Wenyang Town has always been a remote area of our city. The problem of our original plan to build roads has also been stopped because of funds. If they want to expand production, they will have to build roads, so we can save this budget." This is just on the surface. We can secretly set aside an industrial zone for him. This requirement is that all the workers must use our territory. Everyone knows that the current level of joblessness has reached a level that we must pay attention to. The employment problem of tens of thousands of people is very worthy of our consideration. What do you think?”The newcomer, Zhao Wenbo, was young and capable. It was said that he could be considered a middle-ranking official in the capital. He had the common characteristics of his generation. When he came down to gild, he had to do well and create opportunities for the old men in the capital to promote him.
The two leaders showed two different attitudes, which made the people below feel a little difficult. The secretary's idea was a little conservative, but it was also the safest. If it developed, it would be able to shine. If it did not develop, the city would not suffer any losses. The chief's words might be the idea of most young officials. How could there be returns without investment? Moreover, this opportunity was too good. The government did not need to invest anything. As long as they came up with a few plans, the money for the road construction would probably be all paid by the enterprise itself. He still had political achievements, but the drawback was that if the enterprise collapsed, the government would have to take over this unfinished project, especially the industrial zone plan. It was all cultivated land. If it did not achieve the corresponding results, the compensation to the farmers alone would be enough to make the government suffer.
"I think Secretary Huang and Chief Zhao's words make sense. Can we find a compromise? We don't have to do anything, and we don't have to take too much risk. After all, we're a government agency, not a company. We can't decide anything based on profits. We have to be responsible for the 980,000 people on this land. I've seen Chief Zhao's industrial park plan. I'm afraid it will require more than 5,000 mu of land. In other words, the cultivated land of the surrounding four villages will be completely requisitioned. Tens of thousands of people will face the situation of no land to grow. If we want to connect this industrial park together, we still need to relocate many people. This is also a huge cost. Can this energy group afford this money? Their president, Li Cong, has already said that they will not give up any shares or engage in any form of joint venture. We will not be able to find any benefits from their profitable projects. Therefore, I think we must consider the recruitment problem mentioned by the chief."Road construction and other supporting facilities have become things that we have to get. So, what I mean is that the energy group has to agree to our conditions before we can support the energy group.”Li Mingfang, the head of the Chinese People's Political Conference, was a peacemaker. In many cases, the old and the young would be at odds with each other. As a middle-aged person, he had to think of a compromise. The people of Féi City were relatively lucky. No matter whether it was the old or the young, there were no so-called corrupt officials. No matter what, they were still willing to work for the people.
This meeting had a similar outcome to the previous meetings. Secretary Li's proposal was approved by most of the members of the Standing Committee. They concluded that Li Cong had to do three things. First, the first-class road connecting the provincial highway to Wenyang had to detour around the county town of Féi. The government would provide the design plan and construction team to be responsible for the construction. Second, Li Cong had to recruit at least 70% of the workers in the county. Third, the land transfer fee and the farmers 'settlement fee for land acquisition would be fully funded by the Energy Group.
The city didn't have to bear any risks with this decision. This road and some relocation costs would probably cost billions. However, the 5000-mu industrial park was also very attractive to Li Cong. The so-called sky-high price was set by the government. It was up to Li Cong to bargain.
Li Cong received the draft contract two days after the meeting ended. Looking at the clause, Li Cong felt nothing. He was completely capable of completing it himself. He also felt that the clause was very good. He even prepared to donate millions to the poverty relief fund that was just established by the government. Li Cong felt that he did not lack that money. It was his duty to do something good for the people. After all, he was a hot-blooded youth. After repairing this first-class road, he would also benefit a lot, but he still had to hold a meeting to listen to everyone's opinions. Li Cong was afraid that his opinions were not enough and called the members of the team stationed by PetroChina here.
"Everyone, take a look at the draft contract that the City Council of Féi City has given us. This is a good opportunity for us. Although the terms are a little harsh, I personally think that our company can accept it.”Li Cong was very satisfied, but he could tell that something was wrong with everyone's expressions.
"Everything else is fine. We don't lack money. Moreover, we need this place to develop, but building roads is a big problem. We can build roads, but we want to connect them to the highway, not to the city.”Li Cong's father, the vice chairman of the Energy Group, said.
"What's the big deal about this? Isn't it just a few more kilometers?”Li Cong felt that this was an easy task.
"A few kilometers? My brother, do you know what the cost of a road is? The cost per kilometer is as high as tens of millions of yuan. The junction from here to the highway is 30 kilometers. If we detour around Féi City, we will spend hundreds of millions more. I'm afraid our financial situation can't meet this investment requirement.”This was the first time Li Cong knew that building a road would cost so much. It seemed that a few hundred million was not enough.
"Also, about the relocation fees, will we be the ones supervising it or will they be the ones supervising it? We have to compensate them for occupying their homes, right? Or should he give her a yard like this? Zheng Huo is obviously toying with us by giving us this contract. We will bear all the expenses while they are taking advantage of us.”There were already two vice presidents in the company who were unhappy.
"Then what advice can you give us?”Li Cong turned to the consultant group of PetroChina.
"Mr. Li, the analysis team from our headquarters just sent us the information. We suggest that you can cooperate with Zheng Hao this time, but you have to modify the terms. Zheng Hao will definitely not pay a single cent this time. Building roads and recruiting workers are their bottom line. We can build the expressway directly to the exit of the provincial expressway. As for the remaining few kilometers, Zheng Hao will not give us anything. The price we pay is still very high, so our consultant team will give you another suggestion. All the funds will be guaranteed by PetroChina and Zhengyi.”The head of PetroChina's consultant team was an uncle in his forties who looked very responsible.
"A loan? But as far as I know, we need at least two billion yuan in loans to support this project. Even if you have a good relationship with the bank, it will still be more than 5% interest. The bank is simply robbing us." Li Congtian did not like working with banks. He felt that his capital chain was still okay. Why did he have to throw such a sum of money to the bank every year?
"Mr. Li, haven't you heard that if a loan exceeds a million, the industrial and commercial tax won't dare to find it, and the public security court won't dare to arrest it? Many rich people had money of their own, so why would they use the money from the bank? Wasn't it the same principle?”Li Cong had never thought about this. It was the people from big companies who knew how to drill.
The meeting was very short, and it was completed under Li Cong's request for efficiency. The finance minister, Li Yan, was in charge of negotiating with Zheng Yi about the loan, and Zheng Yi sent a negotiation team led by the chief.
The road of development was full of twists and turns. Li Cong had taken another step today, which was to know that he would take loans. In fact, if Li Cong were to bear all the loans, the group could also bear them. However, there would be no benefits of loans. He had let PetroChina pick up a big favor for no reason. He had two billion in savings. Did he need your guarantee? Just when he wanted to maintain a balance, he let PetroChina take the lead so easily. It seemed that he was still inexperienced.
