I have to say that Luming City’s large-scale publicity and project promotion activities have indeed achieved very miraculous results.
Not to mention anything else. Since the publicity campaign, more and more businessmen came to Luming City for inspections. Suddenly, the high-end hotels in Luming City began to be overcrowded. As a result, the occupancy rates of many express hotels in Luming City generally increased. .Accordingly, the work of the Luming City Government has become extremely busy recently. Officials and departments at all levels have to dispatch a large number of manpower to receive these businessmen who come to inspect.
Of course. Different levels of businessmen naturally have different levels of personnel to receive them. If you want Liu Qingyu to receive him in person, the investor must be strong enough or the project he invests in can arouse Liu Qingyu's interest. .
At this moment, those rumors that the province was going to take back the large deep-water port project on Luwei Island disappeared with the large-scale publicity in Luming City.
However, at this moment, in Liu Qingyu’s office.
Liu Qingyu is listening to the report from Secretary-General Chen Miancan.
"Mayor Liu. The news I got from the province is that there is already a force in the province that is intensively deploying. Although the rumors have dissipated, some people are gradually pushing the rumors forward. I hope the province will Can lead the entire large-scale deep-water port construction project." Chen Miancan said.
Liu Qingyu couldn't help but frown: "Oh. They are stepping up their deployment."
Chen Miancan nodded: "Yes. As far as I know, at the beginning, some people in the provincial government wanted to put forward this proposal at the governor's office meeting and it was passed. But because Governor Du was not interested in this proposal Not actively. Therefore, this project was not approved by the provincial government and was temporarily shelved. However, those people are not us. Now there are many people on the provincial standing committee who are actively running. It seems that some We want to change the ownership of this project through the Standing Committee.”
When Liu Qingyu heard this, he nodded solemnly.
Half an hour later, the Luming City regular standing committee meeting was held.
Shen Hongfei presided over the meeting. Shen Hongfei's eyes swept over the faces of the Standing Committee members one by one. Then he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, more than a week has passed. The funds that everyone promised at that time have all been spent." How are the preparations going?"
Zeng Zhentian was the first to stand up: "Secretary Shen. The 400 million funds I promised have been raised."
Subsequently, others also expressed their opinions. Almost most of the Standing Committee members have completed the figures they promised at that time.
Liu Qingyu looked at the performance of the Standing Committee members present and was filled with emotion. He had to admit that this person, once he has the motivation to do something, can indeed explode with power that ordinary people can't imagine. You know, if it is normal times. Let alone asking everyone to raise hundreds of millions of funds. Even if we try to raise millions of funds, I am afraid that everyone will resist and it will be difficult to calculate.
But this time, except for Liao Zhicai, who was absent from the deep-water port project group discussion, most of the people in Luming City had completed the task of raising funds. At this moment, Liao Zhicai felt awkward when he heard everyone actively speaking out. He never thought that he would leave angrily and Liu Qingyu would do something like this. This made it clear that he did not want to share the political achievements of this project. This made him hate Liu Qingyu. It's to the bone.
After everyone expressed their stance, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Qingyu and Shen Hongfei. Because everyone knew that when they expressed their stance last time, both Liu Qingyu and Shen Hongfei promised to raise 600 million in funds. This is definitely not a small amount of money.
Shen Hongfei said with a smile: "The 600 million funds I promised have been raised."
Liu Qingyu immediately followed up and said with a smile: "The 600 million funds I promised have also been received."
Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar. All the Standing Committee members looked at Liu Qingyu and Shen Hongfei with shock and admiration in their eyes. Although their ranks were slightly lower than Liu Qingyu and Shen Hongfei, the amount of funds raised by the two was indeed Two or three times more than most members of the Standing Committee. But now, the two of them have actually completed them all. What does this mean? This shows that these two big bosses do have channels and means.
At this time, Shen Hongfei said: "Okay. Now that most of the Standing Committee members have promised that the funds are basically in place, we can start the next step of bank loans. As long as we can complete the basic steps of loaning from major banks. Then our next step can be to start the first phase of infrastructure construction and the second phase of financing at the same time. Regarding specific bank loans, Mayor Liu please cooperate with the municipal government to actively contact the banks. I believe that all major banks They will definitely be very interested in our large-scale deep-water port project."
Liu Qingyu immediately nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Then, Shen Hongfei continued: "Now, let's continue to discuss the second phase of comprehensive financing for the entire project. This is the top priority of our entire project. We must also formulate a complete set of plans in advance. Perfect financing system and financing principles to avoid future troubles. After all, at this stage, we need to raise at least several hundred billion to truly launch the entire project smoothly. Then the problem comes. In the second stage, our Lu Ming The city should use a cooperative approach to raise funds. Let’s share our opinions.”
After Shen Hongfei finished speaking, Zeng Zhentian was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice: "I think this large-scale deep-water port project has extremely broad prospects. Once completed, it will generate huge economic benefits. Therefore, such an important project must be carried out by We, the Luming Municipal Government, will take the complete lead. I suggest that the financing method adopt a complete debt financing model. We can find local bonds and set up a company as a financing platform for this project. After all the funds are obtained, it will all be provided by our Luming City Government. It is up to Ming City to fully schedule, configure and use it. This ensures that after the entire deep water port project is completed, it is completely under the leadership of our Luming City. This ensures that the interests of our Luming City Government are maximized."
After Zeng Zhentian finished speaking, Liao Zhicai immediately expressed his position and said: "I agree with Minister Zeng's opinion. I think that ensuring the maximization of the interests of our local government is the most important thing we should do. Especially since this project has such broad prospects, there is absolutely no need for us to use other financing Way."
Just after Zeng Zhentian finished speaking, Liu Qingyu shook his head and said: "No. I don't agree with Comrade Zeng Zhentian's opinion."
Zeng Zhentian immediately asked: "Why are you opposed? Mayor Liu. Don't you want to maximize the interests of our Luming City? As far as I know, you have always advocated putting the interests of the country and the people first. Could I do this? Is it wrong?"
Liu Qingyu shook his head gently: "No. Your supervisor's starting point is not wrong. You are right. As members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Luming City and the decision-making level of Luming City, we must first do anything. Consider the interests of the country and the people. However, this does not mean that if you look at a little benefit, you must put all these benefits completely under the banner of our Luming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Because you have ignored a very important thing. That It is the risk of the project. Objectively speaking, any project has risks. Especially a large project worth hundreds of billions like the Luwei Island large deep-water port. The risks involved are naturally self-evident. The risks It’s conceivable how big it is. If we really follow Minister Zeng’s plan for financing, once some unforeseen risks arise during the operation of this project. Once we cause the project to fail due to improper operation, we will face such a huge debt. .Then what should we, the Luming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, do? What should we, the people of Luming City, do?"
Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu's voice became deeper: "Minister Zeng, have you ever thought about the tragic situation after the bankruptcy of the entire city of Detroit? You can see the dilapidated, abandoned buildings and windows with broken glass. Piles of scrap materials. Vagrants with nothing to do on the street.
Of course, that was in the United States. That kind of situation will definitely not happen in China. But once that happens, how will our Luming Municipal Party Committee team face the trust placed in us by the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government? Do we still want to let The province cannot help us clean up our mistakes in decision-making.
I certainly hope that the overall interests of our Luming City will be protected throughout the entire project. And this is also the most basic and core principle issue for our entire project operation. This point is absolutely undeniable. However, we must pay attention to one thing. .That’s what I mean by interest protection, which is to find the best alignment of interests under rational conditions and in the model that is most beneficial to us. This is the key factor for us to carry out the second phase of financing.”
"Then do you have any good suggestions?" Hearing that his proposal was directly rejected by Liu Qingyu, Zeng Zhentian felt a little unhappy.
Liu Qingyu nodded: "Yes. I think that in the second phase of financing, our Luming City Government will not contribute a penny. Instead, we will use land resources and administrative resources to invest. We must ensure that our Luming City has the best investment in the entire financing process." In project financing, the shares held are absolute holdings to ensure that state-owned assets will not be lost. But at the same time, we must also consider one thing. We are the government, officials, not businessmen. And the construction of the entire port, Development requires commercial activities and businessmen to operate. Therefore, when we raise funds, we must make one thing clear. That is, our government departments must completely separate themselves from the specific business in port construction and future operations. We The government can carry out administrative management of the entire port. But this management must be reflected in the form of service and supervision. The daily management and operation of the port must be handled by professional commercial companies and teams. And it must be clear. .That is, the government’s port management department must not interfere with the operation of the entire port.”
