Liu Qingyu said bluntly: "With absolute power, there will be absolute corruption, especially in areas such as ports where interests are concentrated. If we, Luming City, absolutely control and operate this place, I am sure that
It will definitely become a breeding ground for corrupt officials. At that time, businessmen are different. Although businessmen pursue profits, they also pursue efficiency. Because of this, businessmen are extremely repulsive to the corruption of employees, so their nature will be to think about it.
Methods to eliminate employee corruption. Therefore, our government departments’ management of ports must focus on service and supervision. We must ensure that no illegal or irregular behavior occurs during the commercial operation of the port. We must ensure the healthy operation of the entire port and do a good job.
Various supporting commercial services to ensure that the port is always in a healthy operating state, thereby ensuring that the port continues to make profits. At the same time, as the major shareholder of the port, the more profits the port makes, the higher the fiscal revenue of our Luming City will be, so
, I think this model should be the guiding model for our Luming City port construction."
After Liu Qingyu finished speaking, Zeng Zhentian immediately shook his head and said: "I don't agree with Mayor Liu's opinion. Although government direct investment does have many disadvantages, comprehensively weighing it, only in this way can we ensure that state-owned assets will not be lost.
Only in this way can the state and government’s absolute control over this project be preserved.”
After finishing speaking, Zeng Zhentian looked at Shen Hongfei and said, "Secretary Shen, what do you think?"
Zeng Zhentian knew Shen Hongfei quite well. He knew that Shen Hongfei's thoughts were relatively conservative, so he would definitely not stand on Liu Qingyu's side, because Liu Qingyu's plan seemed a bit radical.
But what Zeng Zhentian didn't expect was that when Shen Hongfei finished speaking, he became completely depressed.
After hearing the speeches of Liu Qingyu and Zeng Zhentian, Shen Hongfei frowned and said: "Both of your plans have their own shortcomings and advantages, but I do not agree with your plan. I think that
With the deepening of reform, we should give full play to the role of the market in economic construction. Therefore, I suggest that we learn from the successful experiences of the United Kingdom and Hong Kong and other regions, and adopt a private enterprise investment and financing model. The British government has always adhered to the port investment plan
The government does not monitor or participate. Whether it is waterway facilities or port equipment, the state does not participate in investment. All port projects are solved through self-raised funds. Therefore, British ports have also completely adopted a self-financing management method. Through this method
To carry out port construction, their resources come from the following sources: first, the port's own profits; second, bank loans; third, independent stocks, etc.
The advantage of this port investment and financing model is that it has high economic benefits and most ports can achieve profitability. Its disadvantage is that the investment and financing characteristics of the port are not fully considered during construction. Many ports with poor economic benefits have poor construction motivation.
There are deficiencies. Relying solely on private enterprises and private hot money also has certain constraints on the sustainable development of the port. However, I believe that once our project is announced, there will definitely be many investors coming to invest, so we don’t need to worry at all.
Funding issues." As soon as Shen Hongfei finished speaking, Liu Qingyu and Zeng Zhentian both shook their heads vigorously.
Liu Qingyu said directly: "Secretary Shen, with all due respect, if we really adopt the model of direct investment by private companies to build the port, there will be many unpredictable problems, such as the position of the government in the entire project. , how do our government departments obtain the dividends from port construction and development, and how do our government departments carry out their work once the port is put into operation."
Shen Hongfei smiled faintly: "This is very simple. We can directly learn from the successful experiences of the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and other places."
Zeng Zhentian quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, it's too risky, and it's too radical. It's even more radical than Liu Qingyu's plan. This is absolutely not possible."
"As for which plan is more suitable, I think it's better for everyone to vote directly." Shen Hongfei said calmly.
After Shen Hongfei finished speaking, Wu Chengkun, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, was the first to express his support for Shen Hongfei's opinion. Later, Zhang Yinrui, Director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, also expressed his support for Shen Hongfei's opinion.
Subsequently, Vice Mayor Liao Zhicai and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Lu Yunfei expressed their support for Zeng Zhentian's opinions, while Wang Hongbo and Zang Dongsheng expressed their support for Liu Qingyu's opinions. The remaining Li Xiangjun and Dong Zhihao unexpectedly chose a neutral attitude.
As a result, a strange scene occurred at the Municipal Standing Committee.
Everyone has 3 votes, evenly divided, and no one can outvote either party.
Therefore, Shen Hongfei announced that he would temporarily put aside the fight and continue to advance the next step of the work. The Luming City Municipal Government would come forward to negotiate with major banks in the province to provide a loan of 7.5 billion yuan from the banks for the large-scale Luwei Island project. Construction of infrastructure and supporting facilities for deep water port projects.
After the meeting ended, Liu Qingyu came directly to Shen Hongfei's office and said with an ugly face: "Secretary Shen, why did you propose such a radical plan at the Standing Committee meeting? I feel that with your personality and work style, , I shouldn’t have proposed that kind of plan. It would be understandable if that plan was proposed by Zeng Zhentian, but what you proposed makes me feel incredible."
Shen Hongfei smiled faintly: "I knew you would come to me."
Liu Qingyu was stunned for a moment. He had already heard that there was something in Shen Hongfei's words, so Liu Qingyu just looked at Shen Hongfei quietly, waiting for Shen Hongfei's next words.
Shen Hongfei suddenly sighed and said: "Mayor Liu, you may not know that just before our meeting this time, I heard someone in the province proposed to try a new financing model during the construction of this port project. , the enterprise is directly responsible for the construction of the entire port, while the government is shying away, and they hope to let the market lead the entire project."
Liu Qingyu frowned and said, "I believe Secretary Shen you will not agree with this plan."
Shen Hongfei nodded: "Of course I don't agree with this plan, but I think that the implementation of this plan does indeed represent the psychological thoughts of a group of people, and these people have the sense to come up with relevant policies. To give them extra points, but I think their idea is indeed a bit too radical. Reform is the driving force for our development, and there is nothing wrong with letting the market play a leading and regulating role in the entire national economy, but , if it is done in one step as some people propose or even directly copies the so-called successful model of the West, then I am sure that there will definitely be a lot of problems later. If nothing else, take our Chinese stock market as an example. Well, this time the stock market crash is so serious, doesn’t it have anything to do with copying the Western stock market model?”
Liu Qingyu nodded: "Yes, I agree with your point of view. Whether it is the stock market or reforms in other fields, we must adhere to the four characters of our Chinese characteristics. Even in many fields, we have Substantial innovation must be carried out, because many of the successful experiences of the West are based on their unique national conditions and are not suitable for us in China, because China and the West have different cultural foundations and different characteristics. National conditions, so if you copy it, the probability of failure is extremely high. Looking at the past few years, although our reform in China has been crossing the river by feeling the stones, we have achieved great success in economic construction. The reason for this is that It is because we have been resolutely implementing the spirit of the Party Central Committee’s instructions and resolutely implementing the various policies of the Party Central Committee. Therefore, if we want to build this large-scale deep-water port project in Luming City successfully, we must also persist in implementing the spirit of various instructions of the Party Central Committee. We must resolutely implement various policies, adhere to our Chinese characteristics, and give full play to the government's role of coordination and supervision in the project construction process. We must not let it go, which will only make the project different in the end, and even cause a serious loss of state-owned assets. ."
Shen Hongfei nodded: "You are right. In fact, regarding the opinions of you and Zeng Zhentian, I agree more with the plan you proposed. The plan proposed by Zeng Zhentian is a bit too conservative, too old and out of date. Well, actually, I believe Zeng Zhentian knows it in his heart, but he seems to be competing with you, and he even wants to use my strength to support him in this plan. I can see this very clearly. He thinks that I, Shen Hong, Fei has a conservative mind, so he will definitely support it, but he has forgotten one thing. Although I, Shen Hongfei, are relatively conservative, I do it for the sake of stability. That is because I am the leader and I need to balance the relationship between all parties, so I seek stability. , but it doesn’t mean that I don’t know what is good and what is bad. If he wants to take advantage of me, he is really looking down on me.”
Liu Qingyu asked: "Then why don't you directly express your support for me."
Shen Hongfei smiled and said: "It is easy for me to support you. Your plan will definitely be passed by the Municipal Standing Committee, because your plan is indeed in line with the current situation of our Luming City. However, for our Luming City , the biggest threat does not come from within our municipal party committee, but from the province, and now we have to compete with the province."
After hearing what Shen Hongfei said, Liu Qingyu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I understand what you mean, Secretary Shen. You hope to create three different plans at the Standing Committee of our Luming Municipal Party Committee. Then use these three plans as topics for subsequent publicity. It is best to trigger a big discussion in the entire Luming City or even the country, and finally let public opinion decide the final direction of the entire plan."
Shen Hongfei looked at Liu Qingyu with a smile on his face and gave a thumbs up: "Those who know me, Liu Qingyu, yes, that's what I mean. I want to see who is jumping up and down in the province, thinking He is trying every means to control our large-scale deep-water port project in Luming City, and it is best not to let me find out who he is."
Speaking of this, Shen Hongfei's eyes became a little sharper.
