Chapter 687: The situation is clear
At first, he could still squeeze out some smiles on his face. When Ji Chenghai, Tan Shiwei and others left the hotel, Zhao Qiuhua's face turned as if painted as if it was painted. Her eyes were circling on the faces of Chen Baoqi, Xu Xian and other entourage members without saying a word.
Chen Baoqi followed Zhao Qiuhua for many years and knew his nature. When he looked at people with such a look, he suspected from the bottom of his heart that someone in the room had betrayed him. There were not so many coincidences in the world, and there were not so many coincidences that happened. A more reasonable explanation was that someone leaked their whereabouts.
At this time, the waiter brought tea in, and Zhao Qiuhua didn't say anything. He took the celadon cup he usually used to from the waiter, and sat on the sofa in the corner of the house.
Chen Baoqi asked the other entourage to leave the room first, and he and Xu Xian and several other close people stayed in the room and talked with Zhao Qiuhua.
When Zhao Qiuhua noticed that other entourage members left the room, Zhao Qiuhua looked at Gao Yang, deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee who followed him to Yanjing for several more glances.
Chen Baoqi was shocked. Before he could think about it, Zhao Qiuhua directly instructed him: "This Xiao Gao beside you, arrange someone to check his call records..."
At this time, Chen Baoqi could only nod and agreed before saying that, and he was also wondering whether Gao Yang would take the initiative to reveal their whereabouts to Shen Huai.
Gao Yang was considered a person from Yu Chengzhen after all. In late April, at the Xiapu County People's Congress meeting, Sun Xingtong, one of the candidates for deputy county magistrates, collapsed on the spot and pointed the finger at Yu Chengzhen for manipulating the election. Shen Huai did not take the opportunity to threaten him, but later did a lot of work with Tao Jixing to eliminate the impact...
If Yu Chengzhen and Shen Huai had already reached a compromise condition behind their backs, then it would be really unreliable to stay by his side.
Thinking of this, Chen Baoqi's thoughts were also shaken, and sometimes he still had to be more careful.
Xu Xian and the others also knew that the boss was very suspicious. At this time, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him suspicious of the people around Chen Baoqi.
"Shen Huai is arrogant, but he is very purposeful in doing anything. Today I am afraid that it is not just coming to disrupt the situation. Governor Zhao, you are embarrassed..." Chen Baoqi sat down, handed over, and looked at Zhao Qiuhua's face carefully.
"Of course he didn't come to disrupt the situation for no reason," Zhao Qiuhua said disgustedly when Chen Baoqi mentioned the embarrassment just now, "Didn't you hear him mention all of Song Qiaosheng and Cheng Wenguang? Either Song Qiaosheng wants to go to Hebei Province, or Cheng Wenguang wants to go to Hebei Province. They knew that I was going to visit Ji Chenghai and sent this bastard to come to disrupt the situation. Isn't this an obvious thing?"
Chen Baoqi thought it was really like this, thinking that although Shen Huai and Song Qiaosheng were close uncles and nephews, the two had a deep spear, and Shen Huai was unlikely to take the initiative to run out to serve as a gun for Song Qiaosheng, and the possibility of charging forward for his father-in-law Cheng Wenguang was higher.
Chen Baoqi said, "That should be because Cheng Wenguang wants to go to Hebei Province."
Xu Xian said from the side: "If the Song Dynasty wants to pile up all the resources into Wen Guang, it is not the turn of Cheng Wen Guang to be the secretary of Hebei Province..."
Chen Baoqi glanced at Xu Xian and said nothing. He thought that Xu Xian had the best ability and his political literacy were still a little worse, so he could be the director of the provincial office for a few more years: Even if Cheng Wenguang wanted to be the governor of Hebei Province, he would have fundamental conflicts with him.
Zhao Qiuhua didn't respond, causing Xu Xian to realize that he had said the wrong sentence just now.
Chen Baoqi said again: "It is possible that Cheng Wenguang wants to go to Hebei Province, but Chen Huai is a man with a unique personality. Even if he is a father-in-law and son-in-law, he cannot say that he can come out and serve as a gun envoy for Cheng Wenguang without any attempt. He said that this time he returned to Beijing was because he heard that the Huaihai Fleet was going to build a new garrison base, but it was not a day or two for the Huaihai Fleet to build a new garrison base. It was not a day or two for him. It was not the turn of a few days to rush to Yanjing. I see, Hu Lin asked someone to report to the Ministry of Agriculture about Xiapu's excessive land acquisition. He should have known it a long time ago. Most of the time he suspected that we had tampered with our hands and tampered with our spirits and went to disrupt the situation..."
"I just moved my hands and feet. If the boy had the courage, he would pounce on me like a mad dog!" Hearing this, Zhao Qiuhua was even more angry and almost smashed the teacup in his hand on the tea table.
Seeing the celadon tea cup tilted to one side and splashing a hot tea water, Chen Baoqi, Xu Xian and others were also shocked - they knew that Chen Huai was going to embarrass Zhao Qiuhua as secondly. Although the Prime Minister did not object, he did not particularly support Zhao Qiuhua to enter Hebei Province. Zhao Qiuhua was frustrated in front of the Ji family, and the road to enter Hebei Province was almost blocked. No wonder he could not control his temper and was as irritable as thunder.
Chen Baoqi looked at the tea on the table and was dripping from the corner of the table onto the carpet, silently thinking that Chen Huai was obviously not afraid of Zhao Qiuhua, maybe this made Zhao Qiuhua even more embarrassed and angry?
However, Zhao Qiuhua was furious and could not hear another meaning in his words. Chen Baoqi was helpless. With Xu Xian and others present, he was not convenient to tell Zhao Qiuhua that the conversation was made clear.
Just thinking that Hu Lin was still interested in seeking greater benefits in Donghua and that there was a possibility of further expanding conflicts with Chen Huai in the future, Chen Baoqi was also worried when he thought about it.
The election incident that broke out in April had a profound impact on him and Yu Chengzhen; Hu Lin still didn't stop for a moment and sent people to the Ministry of Agriculture to disrupt the matter. If Chen Huai knew this matter in his heart, according to his temper, how could he have a chance to bite him?
Otherwise, Zhao Qiuhua left Huaihai and served as secretary in Hebei Province, which would be beneficial to Mei Gang. Chen Huai had no need to take the initiative to jump out and disrupt the situation. But now that Mei Gang had only Cheng Wenguang, a backer, who could rely on. According to Chen Huai's usual arrogant style, Chen Baoqi really didn't think that this kid would not have the courage to stab Zhao Qiuhua in the body.
Of course, Chen Baoqi was happy that Zhao Qiuhua could not go to Hebei Province, otherwise his situation would be even more embarrassing. He could not refuse Hu Lin's many requests to help him plunder in Donghua. However, if he had a violent conflict with Mei Gang and local interests, Chen Huai and the others were determined to punish him. Without support from the province, he would have to worry about whether Hu Lin and the Hu family would find it troublesome behind their backs, so he would just throw him away as an abandoned son.
Chen Baoqi knew how much he was in the eyes of the Hu family. With Zhao Qiuhua in the province, he could still make him feel at ease.
Thinking of these complicated things, Chen Baoqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, unable to understand how this situation would go.
***************************
It was already late after leaving the Huaihai Hotel. Chen Huai had to rush back to meet Cheng Wenguang and report the results of the battle. He broke up with Ji Chenghai, Tan Shiwei, Ji Chengxi and others at the entrance of the hotel, and rushed to Chengzhai with Song Hongjun, Wang Weicheng, Chu Qiang and others.
Hearing Chen Huai's wonderful performance in the Huaihai Hotel, Cheng Wenguang was in a good mood and pointed at Chen Huai and said, "You, you really have someone who messed with you, you can't even sleep at night."
Cheng Wenguang knew that Wang Weicheng and Chu Qiang were Chen Huai’s trusted direct confidants, so he also asked them to come to the study together to chat without getting angry.
Hearing the various arrangements before Shen Huai arrived at the Huaihai Hotel, Cheng Wenguang had a good impression of Chu Qiang and said with a smile: "Shen Huai has left a few elite soldiers and generals in Yanjing. I know him now, it is not too late. Donghua's Jingtou Group, as a local investment and financing platform, is an excellent model, and its ability to move in Yanjing needs to be further strengthened."
Song Hongjun smiled and said, "Most of the people who came out with Shen Huai are bold, careful and wild, and he is so tired of it..."
After Chen Huai disrupted the situation, Cheng Wenguang knew that Zhao Qiuhua's road to Hebei Province had been blocked, and it could be said that he would kill a strong enemy. Moreover, Chen Huai's conversation with Ji Chenghai and Tan Shiwei tonight also made a good start for him to directly contact the Ji family and talk about going to Hebei Province. With his previous plans, he had a little more grasp-
Thinking of this, Cheng Wenguang said to Chen Huai again: "Before you and Cheng Yi came back, I was also considering some things. Tian Jiageng's arrangement should be said to have no bad intentions towards Meigang. At present, you still have to develop it steadily. The Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project has not been reviewed so far, which is a problem. On the one hand, I will talk to Lao He to see if there is any possibility of loosening in the State Planning Commission. On the other hand, have you ever thought about it, you can talk to the National Oil Corporation to see if there is any possibility of cooperation..."
"We considered this possibility at the earliest, and contacted the National Offshore Oil Corporation through Huaida University," said Chen Huai. "But the National Offshore Oil Corporation wants to carry out its own refining and chemical projects at this stage, and there is no intention of specializing in cooperation with the local government..."
Although the offshore oil company, together with China National Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec Corporation, is one of the three major national oil groups directly under the central government, is responsible for the exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources, due to the difficulty and high cost of exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources, the country has invested very little in the exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources over the years, making CNOOC far less than CNOOC and Sinopec in scale, and there is not even its own refining plants.
As a central government-directed enterprise and one of the three nominal national oil groups, CNOOC is naturally unwilling to not even have its own refining plant, and handed over the crude oil produced to CNOOC, which has a direct competitive relationship with China National Petroleum Corporation and its refining and chemical company under Sinopec.
In the early days, CNOOC mainly cooperated with local refining and chemical companies, but in recent years, its main efforts were to establish its own refining and chemical industry system.
If Xinpu Refining and Chemical had the possibility of cooperating with CNOOC two years earlier, CNOOC is now preparing to build its own large refining and chemical plants in Maoming and other places. How could it take out resources to establish a joint venture with Meigang?
Hearing Chen Huai's first contact with CNOOC, Cheng Wenguang nodded. He knew Chen Huai's work ideas without any extra reminder, saying: "Maybe there is a news from CNOOC recently, you don't know..."
"What news?" Hearing this, Chen Huai couldn't help but sit up straight, knowing that Cheng Wenguang mentioned CNOOC for no reason.
"The implementation of CNOOC's plan to list in Hong Kong is somewhat unsuccessful and may be stranded," said Cheng Wenguang. "I called in the afternoon to find out that CNOOC's Cao Guangming will return to Yanjing the day after tomorrow. I will arrange for you to see you directly."
"Is that true?" Chen Huai's eyes lit up when he heard the news, "CNOOC's listing plan is really stranded?"
"This is bad news for CNOOC. Don't be so excited in front of Cao Guangming the day after tomorrow." Cheng Wenguang said with a smile.
The landlord's family also has no surplus grain. The central-level enterprise should be considered the original son, so it is not easy to eat milk.
In the first half of the year, in order to supplement the capital shortage of the four major state-owned commercial banks, the State Council issued a treasury bond with a total amount of 160 billion yuan, but it is very difficult for other directly affiliated central enterprises to obtain direct capital injection from the State Council.
Now Vice Premier Wang Yuan is in charge of financial affairs. He now hopes that the central enterprises below can make milk and find milk by themselves instead of giving milk. Therefore, many non-financial budgetary matters can be found to Wang Yuan, but there is no funds.
In addition, the Ji family faced the shortage of construction funds in promoting the construction of the Shanxi Coal South Line project, which are directly related to the current central financial background.
CNOOC was still small at this time, and crude oil refining was controlled by CNOOC and Sinopec. Its own profit accumulation was slow and there was no direct investment from the central government. If you want to develop your own refining and chemical industry, you can only go to the capital markets at home and abroad for financing.
The domestic securities market has not yet developed and financing is limited. If you want a giant like CNOOC that often requires tens of billions of funds, you can naturally focus on overseas markets if you want to raise funds.
Chen Huai previously knew that CNOOC had planned to go public in Hong Kong for half a year ago. They planned to raise one billion US dollars this time, mainly to build a large factory with an annual refining capacity of 10 million tons in Maoming.
CNOOC is really going to be successfully listed in Hong Kong this time. Meigang is unlikely to cooperate with CNOOC, and will even be subject to unnecessary suppression by CNOOC as a potential competitor.
Now that CNOOC's listing plan has been stranded, it means that CNOOC's plan to build a large factory in Maoming will be temporarily stranded. The situation forces CNOOC to go back to the old path of cooperating with local refining and chemical companies to break through with CNOOC and Sinopec.
The situation can be regarded as a benefit to Meigang all of a sudden.
Now in local refining and chemical industry, Xinpu Refining and Chemical is built near the sea. Not only can it directly accept crude oil mined by CNOOC, but the refining scale of the first phase of Xinpu Refining and Chemical Engineering project is directly set at 5 million tons. Although it is not as good as the refining plant planned by CNOOC itself, it is the best choice for CNOOC, which is blocked from listing at this time.
Cheng Wenguang said that he had arranged the day after tomorrow to meet Cao Guangming, deputy general manager in charge of listing and refining and chemical industry planning. Chen Huai knew that Cao Guangming should have considered Xinpu Refining and Chemical, which means that the whole thing was just about to be a hit.
Once CNOOC participates in the cooperation with Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation, it will become easy for the State Planning Commission to have no barriers to conquer the situation before.
The Provincial State Investment Corporation participates in Xinpu Refining and Chemical Corporation, and the State Planning Commission has reasons to use the current tightening policy. However, if CNOOC participates in the local refining projects that cooperate with, the State Planning Commission has to be careful that the lawsuit will be directly transferred to the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the energy port.
Thinking of this, Chen Huai couldn't help but feel deeply moved. The difficulty of the past, the difficulty of being unable to be separated or tearing it out was really clear.
For CNOOC, cooperation with Meigang is just a helpless choice to settle for the second best after the listing plan is blocked. Chen Huai naturally cannot show a gloating attitude in front of Cao Guangming. Of course, the conditions and benefits that can be won just now must be won.
"You, Hongjun, have made an appointment with Ji Chengxi to meet tomorrow - Qinghe and Donghua have great geographical similarities. Donghua mainly radiates from Huaihai Bay, while Qinghe radiates from the southern area of Bohai Bay. In addition to many topics that can be exchanged, there are also many possibilities for cooperation in many places. You can also discuss it well tomorrow..." Cheng Wenguang said again.
Chen Huai nodded. The second generation of the Ji family developed mainly in the military and other fields, and it was not until Ji Chengxi's generation that he returned to politics. It can be said that the Ji family had great hope in Ji Chengxi, so whether the Ji family would support Cheng Wenguang to go to Hebei Province, Ji Chengxi's opinions were very important.
I didn't have the chance to talk to Ji Chengxi alone tonight, but Chen Huai believed that in addition to Tan Shiwei, who did not want the mediocre Zhao Qiuhua to work in Hebei Province, Ji Chengxi should also have this intention when he rushed back.
The Ji family would not object to Cheng Wenguang's job in Hebei Province, but the Ji family would have some support for Cheng Wenguang's job in Hebei Province, and this work still needs to be done seriously.
Cheng Wenguang didn't have much rest last night. Liu Xuemei was thinking about his body. At eleven o'clock, she went into the study to "draw people" and said, "You young people can eat and live, but you want to let your uncle Cheng sleep. He is so irresistible to you..."
Cheng Wen didn't sleep much, but he couldn't stand the conversation that had been all night long for several nights. Moreover, the conversation between him and Chen Huai involved a wide and deep level, which was very brain-strapped. He watched his wife come over to "drag people", and said with a smile, "You still have the interest, so just find another place to drink and chat. I won't go with you..."
*********************************
"Four or five days ago, it was still a ball of paste. Countless people wanted to watch Mei Gang's good show. Unexpectedly, just after four or five days, the situation suddenly became cheerful," left Chengzhai and got into the car. Song Hongjun thought of the sudden changes in the past few days, which was also called seeing the changes in the business world, and he was filled with emotion and smiled at Chen Huai, "You said, is this your fate, or is it your fate?"
"The opportunity is always left to those who are prepared. How can this fortune telling be good?" Chen Huai smiled. "Many people work hard and suffer aggrieved, but those who specialize in pursuing are difficult to achieve the general trend. Over the years, the country has been moving forward rapidly, so many people can understand that moving forward can get greater benefits, so they can also suppress some vicious competition. In the current situation, how can more people not support those who work hard but support those who blindly engage in internal struggles?"
"Ji Chengxi came back this time, and it was also 'the person who came was not good'. What do you plan to talk to him tomorrow?" Song Hongjun asked.
"Look," Chen Huai said, "cooperation means that I am willing to give some to help the other party develop, and at the same time promote our own development. It is impossible to ask people to cooperate with each other and have a big bite of meat on us. Ji Chengxi is a person with a sense of qualities. I believe he knows that I am also a person with a sense of qualities. They are good partners for each other, so why not sit down and have a good talk?"
Song Hongjun shook his head and smiled, but he didn't know what his second uncle and Hongqi would think when they heard Chen Huai's words. At the same time, he was worried about what the Song Dynasty thought about Cheng Wenguang going to Hebei Province, was he limited support or did he secretly put his efforts to drag him down?
