Spring Breeze 1991

The chief executive and Mr. Li left. They did stay and had lunch with their comrades. They left after two mouthfuls. That's right. With such a great leader sitting in the dining hall, who can eat safely?

The three of Yao Yuan had a good experience of the food in the canteen of the ministries and commissions. There were not many dishes, five dishes in total, two meat and three vegetables, but the taste was good.

Relatively speaking, the food eaten by some grassroots units is not known to be much better than that of ministries and agencies. Eight dishes and one soup are the basic standards.

Perhaps because of my mood, I had a very happy and satisfying lunch.

When he came out of the dining hall, there was a light snowfall, which made Lin Wei so excited that his face turned red.

Yao Yuan said, "Have you never seen the winter in Siberia?"

Lin Wei said, "That's different. In Siberia, you can't wait to freeze your urine into ice. Look at the snow in the capital, how gentle and beautiful it is."

Vice Governor Zhang walked up quickly and said, "Oh, it's snowing, auspicious snow heralds a good year, good omen!"

"Governor Zhang, where are you celebrating the New Year?" Yao Yuan asked with a smile.

Vice Governor Zhang said with a smile, "Chinese New Year? At the provincial government. My family members are all in Guangdong City. I will go back with you. There will be no work during the Spring Festival. Several projects must be firmly grasped."

Seeing his appearance of working hard for 100 days, Yao Yuan was very moved. With such a leader, the people of Guangdong Province are happy.

Xia Honghua and Wen Tiejun caught up and asked, "Governor Zhang, Xiao Yao, what are you going to do? I'll send a car to take you to the airport."

"Let's go now, don't bother, I have arrangements here." Yao Yuan said.

Xia Honghua knew that Yao Yuan was going to Kazakhstan after the Spring Festival, and the exploration of new oil fields there was extremely important. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it would affect the global energy structure. He and Wen Tiejun would also have time to go there by then, so Yao Yuan could not stay any longer. .

"Okay, Governor Zhang, I'll go to Guangdong Province to have a drink with you after the festival." Xia Honghua shook hands with Vice Governor Zhang to bid farewell.

Sitting in the BMW off-road vehicle driven by the Beijing office, Yao Yuan said to He Xueli who came to pick him up, "Go back and discuss with Director Xiao to see if we can discuss cooperation with the Beijing city government. The first batch of All the Baojun 320s were handed over to them for use as taxis."

"Free delivery or?" He Xueli asked.

Yao Yuan said, "It's half sold and half free, so it's an advertisement. Give another [-] units to the Beijing Municipal Government and use them as official commuter vehicles."

"Okay." He Xueli, who was sitting in the co-pilot, wrote down.

Vice Governor Zhang, who was sitting in the back row with Yao Yuan, joked, "Xiao Yao, where is our provincial capital? Did you express that too?"

"That's a must." Yao Yuan smiled, "It's been planned a long time ago. BMW off-road vehicles, Baojun 320, and every new model produced by BMW and Baojun in the future will be presented to the provincial government with 100 units. , this promise will be valid forever, unless BMW and Baojun stop production and go bankrupt.”

Vice Governor Zhang said in surprise, "You're not joking with the old man, are you?"

"You are not yet 60 years old this year, and it is time to start your career. How can you be an old man." Yao Yuan laughed, "I'm not kidding, if you don't talk to me, I want to talk to you about this matter. What kindness is it to use the provincial government to advertise."

Vice Governor Zhang didn't believe that Yao Yuan was doing it for advertising. How many passenger cars are sold in the current passenger car market? There is no need to worry about selling, and there is still a need for advertising?

He thought for a while, and reciprocated, "Then let me express my opinion. All taxis in Guangdong City will also be updated. They will all use Baojun 320, but you can get a discount in terms of price."

"The first batch is half sold and half free." Yao Yuan treated them equally.

But in the eyes of vice governor zhang, this was already a great deal of face for him.Because he thought that Yao Yuan half-sold and half-given a batch of Baojun 320s to be used as taxis in Beijing, and it was because the chief executive questioned the aftermath of the US$215 aid to build the new capital of Kazakhstan. Yao Yuan spent a small amount of money to make a small measure. express his attitude.

Guangdong Province does not need Yao Yuan to express his opinion, as it always supports Yao Yuan.

However, Yao Yuan's attitude of supporting his hometown has always been resolute. After the East Coast petrochemical base was shut down, Nanfang Industrial did not stop paying suppliers and contractors, and still paid the temporary workers' wages in full.

Projects including Baojun Automobile Production Base and Fangxiang Lingang Industrial Park are all operated in this way, so there is no other impact.

Vice Governor Zhang is very clear about this.

"I'd like to take a extravagant ride on your private plane." Vice Governor Zhang joked after sitting in the spacious air seat of the Airbus-320.

Yao Yuan signaled the stewardess to bring good tea, and said, "Americans say that time is money, which is very representative in Western countries. Western countries have come to lead the development of the world by virtue of the first and second industrial revolutions. world for more than a century."

"Objectively speaking, at this stage, in addition to plunder and colonization, their own industrial and economic development process is also full of human wisdom and struggle. But now they have entered a state of exhaustion, or a kind of arrival The ultimate state of laziness."

"Westerners propose economic globalization and carry out industrial division of labor on a global scale. Their goal is to turn other countries into sub-factories, and their own countries master the core technology, just like industrial complete machine factories. Focus on finance and capital operation as the core Lord, this time time is money, and the meaning is different."

After a brief introduction, Yao Yuan said with a smile, "The main purpose of my purchase of the plane was to facilitate international flights, because some companies led by Dongfang Petroleum are doing more and more overseas business, and there are more and more mergers and acquisitions. Our employees To fly everywhere, civil aviation is too inefficient to compete with Westerners."

Vice Governor Zhang said with emotion, "Yes, time is money. The construction of a one-story building in Shenzhen City in three days is the best interpretation of our Chinese people's understanding that time is money. Xiao Yao, I have been a cadre for most of my life. , This is the first time in the past few years that I have such a strong feeling that time is not waiting for me. I always feel that if this opportunity is missed, the Chinese people will miss a great opportunity for economic rise."

"Yes, I feel the same way."

Yao Yuan chatted with Vice Governor Zhang about the trend of the world economy for more than 20 minutes. After the plane entered the level flight state, the stewardess brought fruit, wine, cigarettes, snacks and so on.

"What do you think about our province's electric power industry?" Vice Governor Zhang suddenly asked.

Yao Yuan was a little puzzled and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Vice Governor Zhang said helplessly, "Electric tiger, electric tiger, it's really a tiger. The Ministry of Electric Power Industry is very strong and has a very tough attitude. It is estimated that our province's application for building a thermal power plant will be yellow."

"What's the specific situation?" Yao Yuan didn't want to understand for a while.

Vice Governor Zhang was a little embarrassed, and said, "I promised you before to let you invest in and participate in the investment and operation of the power sector in Guangdong Province. I am afraid it will not be easy now. Small and medium-sized power plants are not interesting to you, at least Millions of kilowatts, but power plants of this level need approval from the Ministry of Electric Power Industry, they are very tough."

Yao Yuan suddenly thought of a question, "The Planning Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission and the Economic and Trade Commission have been merged into the National Development and Reform Commission. According to the principle of separation of government and enterprise, the Ministry of Electric Power Industry will not exist for a long time. The establishment of a national power company is inevitable. The government management function of the Ministry of Electric Power Industry is bound to be transferred to other departments, and now it seems that the Development and Reform Commission is most likely to take over.”

Vice Governor Zhang was taken aback, and said, "You mean to wait until the Ministry of Electric Power Industry is withdrawn before you bring up this matter? There are indeed some rumors, but if you say it will be withdrawn, it will be withdrawn. Such a large ministry..."

"Leader, the Ministry of Petroleum is not just waiting around, it's not like withdrawing immediately." Yao Yuan said with a smile, "However, I think the higher authorities will consider it comprehensively. Guangdong Province is the frontier of reform and opening up, and power supply must be guaranteed first. of."

Vice Governor Zhang said, "You just need to understand, the provincial government will try its best to fight for it."

This is not a matter of a day or two. From the perspective of people's livelihood, hydropower is more important than oil.

Among so many ministries and commissions, there are two ministries and commissions that are the most domineering, strong and tough, not an exaggeration at all.One is the Ministry of Electric Power Industry and the other is the Ministry of Railways.These two ministries and commissions, which have both government management functions and business management authority, have long been rocks that cannot be shaken.

Needless to say, the Ministry of Railways was formerly known as the Railway Corps, with a strong sign in the background.

The Ministry of Electric Power Industry is not far behind. It was established three times and reorganized three times. When you thought it was about to become history, it was revived in two years.In fact, the fields involved are very important basic people's livelihood and the cornerstone of industrial development.

Which factory can do without electricity?

But this time the Ministry of Electric Power Industry was abolished, and it really became history.Judging from the rhythm of the National Development and Reform Commission coming out ahead of schedule, the withdrawal and merger of ministries and commissions may also advance ahead of schedule.

There is plenty of time left and right, Yao Yuan is not in a hurry, and Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has not established an electric power research institute, only a team is doing research on storage batteries, and his goal is commercial batteries, such as mobile phone batteries, walkie-talkie batteries, car batteries, etc.

It would be much better to have some time to deploy in this area before participating in the development of the electric power market.

The plane first landed at Yuecheng Airport. Yao Yuan wanted to inspect the Nangang-Yuecheng Expressway, which had completed 80% of the project, so it would take two days to return to Nangang along the route from Guangdongcheng by car, and it happened to be back on New Year’s Eve Southport.

After getting off the plane, the car from the provincial government and the car from the Guangdong City Office of Chunfeng Group drove directly to the tarmac to pick up people. When saying goodbye, Vice Governor Zhang looked at the old airport and suddenly asked, "It's nothing to do. Second master, Xiao Yao, why don't you pay some money to set up a joint venture with us to build the new airport, the preparations have been done, and the project has been approved, but there is a lack of funds."

The site selection for the new airport in Guangdong City was completed three years ago, and construction was delayed until 2000. The lack of funds is an important factor.

Yao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Leader, you really think I'm running a banknote printing factory. I know the plan for the new airport. It can't be built without 200 billion yuan."

"It's not 200 billion U.S. dollars, and it's not a one-time investment. You have to think of a way. This is related to the foreign exchange of our Guangdong Province. The annual passenger volume of this old airport has exceeded one million, and it has been expanded to the point where there is no way to expand it. The new airport If it is not built, foreign businessmen will go to Shanghai and Beijing." Vice Governor Zhang said helplessly.

The budget is 198 billion Huaxia dollars, and the overrun is certain, because the current design and planning cannot meet the needs of the future at all. No one expected that the new international airport in Guangdong City will become the airport with the largest throughput in the world, and the annual throughput has exceeded [-] million for many times. People!

Two runways are not enough at all, and four runways are not enough. In desperation, part of the throughput can only be diverted to several surrounding airports, such as Jinwan Airport and Bao'an Airport.

Yao Yuan really dare not agree to this matter easily, because he knows the new airport of Guangdong city very well, because he participated in part of the design work of the new airport of Guangdong city in his previous life.

"Leader, how much do you want me to invest, and how much money has the provincial government raised?" Yao Yuan asked.

Vice Governor Zhang blushed and said with a smile, "We have already raised hundreds of millions, and we can start work if we raise some more."

Yao Yuan said, "Don't introduce yourself, we are old friends, can you tell the truth."

Vice Governor Zhang emphasized, "We have indeed raised hundreds of millions."

Yao Yuan didn't ask any more, and said directly, "What's the use of a few hundred million dollars? Just for the demolition and site leveling, more than ten or two hundred million will be spent. If the demolition is not completed in one day, the start of construction is just a cloud."

"It seems that you do understand the situation." Vice Governor Zhang shook his head and said with a wry smile.

There are too many factors affecting the start of construction, and the demolition work is the first obstacle.

The new airport in Guangdong City is very profitable, but that is ten years later, in other words, the expected profit period is too far away.Yao Yuan is a businessman, and it will take ten years for such a large amount of money to be returned. No matter how you calculate it, it is a loss, and it is a huge loss. Non-state-owned capital cannot afford it.

"Xiao Yao, you can invest as much as you want, first solve the problem of starting construction, and go step by step. If you want to open it, I will report it when I go back." Vice Governor Zhang said.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Obtaining the shares of the airport management group is fundamental. In addition, the new airport in Guangdong City will become the main base of the new United Airlines and the new Beihang Airlines in South China. Its status cannot be lower than that of China Southern Airlines. Well, there are still headwinds Logistics and Huayin Aviation Leasing. That's my condition."

"How much can you contribute?" Deputy Governor Zhang thought about it, and asked, thinking it was not difficult to talk about.

Yao Yuan said, "Look at the provincial government, what should I do if I invest too much and take up a controlling stake?"

"That's true." Vice Governor Zhang thought for a while, and said, "However, I am worried that you will not be able to let go of the four airlines stationed here as the main base."

Yao Yuan smiled, "Leader, do you think the current design plan can meet the needs of the future? There are only two runways. Let's put it this way, the provincial government will consider building a third and fourth runway in ten years. We must be prepared for the annual throughput to exceed [-] million passengers."

"Is it too exaggerated?" Vice Governor Zhang didn't believe it at all.

The current design plan is based on the standard of transporting 3000 million passengers per year. In everyone's opinion, this already has a very large redundancy. Therefore, before the completion of the second terminal, the new Guangdong City Airport has been overloaded Operating status.

Pointing to the airport, Yao Yuan said, "No one thought about building a new airport before. They all thought that this airport was enough. Air tickets are so expensive. Flying is a way for rich and powerful people to travel. New Beihang Airlines has launched discounts. Air tickets, with the continuous improvement of people's income, aviation will definitely become one of the main ways for people to travel long distances."

Vice Governor Zhang fell into deep thought.

Do you want to change the design plan?

Is it necessary to increase the budget?

The 198 billion Huaxia coins are enough for the provincial government. Where can I find more money?

In fact, after waiting for another two years, benefiting from the tax sharing system, benefiting from the rapid economic growth and the sharp increase in local government fiscal revenue, the provincial government can afford the money.

But Vice Governor Zhang couldn't wait!
