Volume 12, The Waves Stop the Flying Boat, Chapter 9, Coincidentally

After seeing Huang Wenxu off, Lu Weimin breathed a sigh of relief.

There are too many things in his hands, and now he has deeply realized the difference between the executive and the extraordinary.

Although there are two more words for executive and extraordinary responsibilities, the meaning is absolutely completely different.

The executive vice mayor means that you are a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, or even a deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. It means that you also need to assume the responsibility of communicating between the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. The mayor is also a deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but he is the top administrative leader of the Municipal Government. It is obviously inappropriate to let him communicate with other Standing Committee members or deputy secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee, so this responsibility is obviously the executive vice mayor.

As the executive vice mayor, the first responsibility is to assist the mayor in preside over the daily work of the municipal government, and the mayor is responsible for the overall work.

The difference between these two words is rich in meaning. What is comprehensive and what is daily life? How to define it depends more on the tacit understanding between the mayor and the executive vice mayor.

According to the division of labor of the municipal government, the duties of each deputy mayor or assistant mayor are to assist the mayor in charge of one or several tasks, and the executive vice mayor is no exception. At most, it is slightly reflected in the importance of being in charge of the work. However, in addition to the first article, it is different to preside over the daily work of the municipal government, which means that you can perform his mayor duties as the mayor.

As long as you have a high tacit understanding with the mayor, you can understand, inspect and supervise the work he recognizes. Even if you have a low tacit understanding with the mayor, you can do the same with this sentence, but the rebound intensity and the cooperation of the other party may be much worse.

In Songzhou, for Lu Weimin, Tong Yunsong and him had a relatively high understanding, especially in the economy. Tong Yunsong basically entrusted him with full authority to let him go, which moved Lu Weimin very much. Lu Weimin felt that this was probably because Shang Quanzhi believed that this was a means for Tong Wei and the other two to win over him, and therefore he was a little uneasy.

Tong Yunsong did this, and Lu Weimin could not refuse to accept this kindness because Shang Quanzhi was uncomfortable or uneasy. This was the other party's show of kindness and trust in him, not to mention that Lu Weimin needs the other party's support to achieve his goals and ideas.

If the Huada Steel Project was not fully communicated and operated by Tong Yunsong and Wei Xingxia, it would not have been built in Suqiao so smoothly. Even if it could bring billions or even billions of investment, its components were too "healthy". Pure private capital and part of foreign capital have no dimes with state-owned or even collective capital. The advantageous steel upstream industries involved, not to mention the production capacity of 2.8 million tons, even a million tons of production capacity would be enough to cause an uproar in Changjiang Province.

Fortunately, the political and economic climate in 1998 were good enough, the ideological liberation after the 15th National Congress, the sluggish foreign demand and the decline in imports and exports caused by the Southeast Asian financial crisis. The situation in Songzhou was also quite special. An old industrial base that was declining urgently needed funds to revitalize its glory, but the province was struggling on this issue. Lu Weimin also chose this point of in line, otherwise there would be no possibility of approval at all, even if this approval was just a tacit and secret support.

Without Shao Jingchuan's statement, the Huada Steel Project would not have taken root.

Shao Jingchuan will make a statement sooner or later, but the earlier he makes a statement, the more conducive it will be to the speed of progress of Huada Steel. The more distinct his attitude is, the more conducive it will be to the strong support of Huada Steel in other aspects, such as financial financing.

Every enterprise cannot rely on its original capital when it was established. Radar's Tuoda Group and He Keng's Shenghua Group are not short of money, and Jinghua Investment can also provide more funds. However, as an independent and complete steel enterprise, Huada Steel has to independently undertake its own project operations since its construction began. This is the structure of the market economy.

Once the funds of the three original shareholders are in place and the company's management is established, they must operate independently, and financing is the most important task.

Having received nods or praise from the top leader of the provincial party committee, this is a political vane. Whether it is the four major banks in the province or banks such as Minsheng, Transportation, and Everbright that have already set foot in Changjiang, they will turn their attention to Huada Steel. This is a giant that swallows up funds, and at the same time, it is a hen that may create huge profits to lay golden eggs. The medium- and long-term market of the domestic steel market will not be seen by banks with professional researchers. The key lies in the policy impact.

Tong and Wei have done a lot of work in Shao Jingchuan. Shang Quanzhi has also worked hard on Rong Daosheng, and Lu Weimin has also shown off countless times in Gao Jin and Hua Youlan. This project has formed a tacit understanding between the provincial party committee and government.

This tacit understanding means that the written declaration can only be split and reported to the Provincial Development and Planning Commission. The leaders of the provincial party committee and government did not make clear statements on this project, and the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will arrange and promote the progress of the project.

It should be said that this is a considerable progress, which can make the provincial party committee and government have such an attitude, Lu Weimin, Radar, He Keng and others are both satisfied. Although Radar, He Keng and Mu Ke also have their own personal connections, after all, in actual operations, if the first-level leaders have to force their political future, it is completely hopeless, not to mention that they are completely hopeless. It is very simple to drag you for a year and a half, and it is unimaginable how important a year and a half is for a project.

According to Lu Weimin and Radar, He Keng and others' ideas, they are built as fast as possible, put into production as fast as possible, and enter the full production as fast as possible. This full production does not refer to electric furnace steelmaking, but blast furnace steelmaking. It is to operate at full capacity from importing iron ore abroad to entering Huada steel blast furnace until ironmaking is refined into steel.

Electric furnace steelmaking is very simple. The electric furnace relocated from Hebei Province has been installed and the first furnace can be produced soon. This is not exciting and is expected, but it is not easy for blast furnace steelmaking to produce the first furnace steelmaking.

Shenghua Group matches up with the links, and Huada Steel is actively negotiating with Australia, striving to sign a long-term supply agreement with quite generous conditions. Due to the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis and the domestic market has also been affected to a certain extent, Huada Steel is expected to sign this long-term contract in the near future.

Design scholars hired by Huada Steel from high salaries at home and abroad have also completed the relevant design and have entered a intensive construction stage. The blast furnace they are preparing to stop production purchased from Thyssen, Germany, has also been officially dismantled and boarded the ship. It is expected to arrive at Songzhou Port Pier in the near future.

The full construction of the Huada Steel Project has also brought great changes to Songzhou.

Especially the traffic flow of the Songzhou Yangtze River Bridge, according to relevant statistics, since the Huada Steel Project has entered the construction stage, the traffic flow of the Songzhou Yangtze River Bridge is at least 10% higher than before. That is to say, the traffic flow of the 10% or more fires have a lot to do with the Huada Steel Project under construction in Suqiao. Of course, this may be both the Huada Steel Project itself and other related projects that followed the Huada Steel Project. According to Lei Zhihu, the black rental business in Suqiao County and the south of the Songzhou Yangtze River Bridge are at least twice as good as before.

At the same time, the hotel and accommodation industry in Songzhou has also been driven. The business of several hotels with a Samsung-plus of three-star hotels, including Global Hotel, Hualang Hotel, Songzhou Hotel, Songzhou Holiday Hotel, etc., has increased significantly compared with the same period last year. The Municipal Tourism Bureau has specially conducted statistics on the passengers staying in these hotels. A considerable number of passengers are business customers who have a certain relationship with the Huada Steel Project, which also demonstrates the impact of the Huada Steel Project from the other side.

It is not just these two aspects affected. The information feedback from the Municipal Financial Office also showed that due to the impact of the Huada Steel Project, the number of company accounts opened by several major banks has also shown a significant increase. Especially the companies registered and established in Suqiao Steel Industrial Park have basically chosen to establish accounts in several major banks, and the capital flow has also increased significantly.

Coincidentally, with the completion of the merger and reorganization of Suian Fengyun Communications and the establishment of a number of affiliated enterprises that followed, the Tongbai Business Office of Suian County Agricultural Bank, which was originally planned to be abolished, was reinforcing, and even Suian County Industrial and Commercial Bank of Suian County was preparing to set up a branch office in Tongbai, which also showed the extraordinary role of a leading enterprise in driving the rise of an industrial chain.

A key project, a leading enterprise, has an immediate impact. If it is placed in a county like Shuangfeng or Futou, a Huada Steel plus a Fengyun Communication, it may be able to completely transform a county, but for Songzhou City, which has more than 6 million, it is far from enough.

If Songzhou wants to revive and regain its glory, it cannot be driven by just one or two projects, or even one or two industries. Especially Songzhou is an old industrial city with a significant influence in the province, second only to Changzhou.

Lucheng's textile industry is also part of Lu Weimin's plan to "strengthen the city in industry and rejuvenate Songzhou". Relying on the development of Lucheng's textile industry, Luxi District proposed to create a consumer industry concept of "garment, shoes, hats and socks" that it is very consistent with Lu Weimin's intention. At the same time, when Huang Wenxu left, Lu Weimin also told Huang Wenxu not to focus on the "garment, shoes, hats and socks" industry, but to take advantage of Luxi's special geographical location advantages and consider the development of commerce and logistics industries.

In his opinion, Huang Wenxu and the others have found some of the characteristics of Luxi District themselves, but it is not enough. Luxi has advantages in developing the light industrial consumer goods industry, but Luxi's specific location determines that it has more advantages in the tertiary industries such as commercial logistics industry. Of course, this remains to be explored.
