Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 305: Invisibility Behind the Scenes
"Knock knock knock!"

Zhong Cheng tapped the table with his fingers, "Okay, everyone, stop guessing!"

In fact, there is another possible reason that everyone did not mention, that is his speech in New York and his attitude of never repenting afterwards.

The superiors may not intend to hold him accountable, but this will inevitably become the best excuse for people with ulterior motives to attack him.

Everyone has to pay a price for what he does, he just didn't expect that the price would be exchanged for what he cares most about.

It should be that he got involved with the Red Star Company, but everyone chose not to talk about it.

He thought he had mastered his own destiny, but it turned out that he still couldn't break free from the shackles of fate.

Fate gave him a bright moment in life, but in a flash it made him ashamed and unable to fight.

His mood will only be worse than others, but this is the end of the matter, and blaming others and himself will not help.

Always think of the best in everything, which is also one of Zhong Cheng's strengths.

The development of the Great Northwest was originally one of the goals of the Red Star Company. If it can concentrate its efforts on promoting the West Sea Project, it will also be a good thing for the country and the people.

With the support of the Northwest Basic Industry in the future, Red Star Company will go more steadily.

The solar system is so big, and the Milky Way is even bigger, there will always be a place for the Red Star Company in the future.

That's all he could do to comfort himself.

"Let's discuss the corresponding plan!"

Zhong Cheng then pointed at Lin Hansheng, "Old Lin, you are in charge of the Xihai Project, please tell us about the current situation first!"

Lin Hansheng thought for a while and said, "At present, the stalls of the Xihai Project are very large. There are a large number of projects under construction in the Qaidam Basin, the Qinghai Lake area, the Northwest Plateau of Tibet, and the surrounding areas of the Tarim Desert."

"However, due to personnel and funding problems, the progress is not fast. Mineral mining, refining and processing are at the forefront, and the transformation of the environment has just started."

Next, Lin Hansheng and Zheng Yilun introduced the situation of the Xihai Project in detail.

After the two reported, Li Changfeng shook his head, "This is not good. If we continue at this pace, we will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the state in another 30 years."

Chen Peng frowned and said: "The superior asked us to complete the transformation of all the deserts and Gobi areas in the Northwest within ten years. This is an almost impossible task and requires too much investment!"

Fu Huaquan said: "This is not a mandatory goal. It can't be completed in ten years. Let's go to the head office in 20 years!"

Li Changfeng gave him a dissatisfied look, "Do you want me to retire so that I won't see the day when Red Star Company leaves the earth?"

Fu Huaquan smiled awkwardly, and said, "Didn't I want to put less pressure on everyone?"

Zhong Cheng glanced at Jiang Shaohua who had been silent all this time, "Shaohua, tell me your opinion!"

Jiang Shaohua said politely: "I don't know much about production, so I would like to offer some personal opinions. Please don't make fun of me!"

"Just say what you think, no one will laugh!"

Zhong Cheng glanced at the others, and Li Changfeng and others also expressed their willingness to listen.

Jiang Shaohua said: "I personally think that the Northwest region occupies more than half of China's land area. If we only rely on the power of Red Star Company and the local government, it will be difficult to achieve the planned goal. This is not just a problem of funds, but a problem of population. The essential."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and filling in all the more than 100 million people in Red Star Company was just a drop in the bucket.

"So, we need to mobilize the power of the whole society to launch a national movement to develop the Northwest. Those who have money will contribute money, and those who are powerful will contribute, calling on the enterprises and people of the whole of China to participate!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, but then they thought, this might be a solution.

"well said!"

What the Northwest lacks most is people, and Red Star Company will play the role of a pioneer. As long as Red Star Company lays a good foundation, other matters can be solved by the strength of the whole society, which can save at least half of the effort.

Although Huaxia has been promoting the development of the Northwest these years, the lack of a leader makes the development of the Northwest unsatisfactory.

Red Star Company is going to be the leader of this one, to drive the transfer of China's industry to the northwest region, and even make the northwest region the industrial center of China in the future.

Everyone unanimously agreed with Jiang Shaohua's suggestion, and the work of publicity and promotion will be handed over to her. I believe the media will also support it.

Next, according to this line of thinking, everyone believes that the current planning structure of the Xihai Project is too small and needs to be changed, it should be said to be re-formulated.

The first phase of the Xihai project formulated by Zhong Cheng has already been completed, and the current Xihai project should be counted as the second phase of the project, which was expanded by Shao Weimin on the basis of Zhong Cheng's original plan.

The brand-new development plan to be formulated now, Zhong Cheng named it as the third phase of Xihai Project.

The first phase of the Xihai project is just a small project with less than 100 billion yuan, and the second phase project has expanded into a large project with an investment of nearly 3000 billion yuan.

Although the third phase of the Xihai project has not yet been calculated in detail, based on Zhong Cheng's experience, a rough assessment shows that the investment will exceed 5 trillion yuan.

The third phase of the Xihai Project will become the largest investment project in the history of Red Star, and it will also be the project with the most manpower and material resources and the longest construction period.

Moreover, this project will be implemented in uninhabited deserts and bitter cold areas for many years. The project is fragmented, distributed in a wide area, and the conditions are complex and diverse. It will be a severe test for project managers and implementers.

Zhong Cheng entrusted this task to himself, and he will personally preside over the third phase of the Xihai Project, with Lin Hansheng and Zheng Yilun as his assistants.

He planned the Xihai project alone. Although he didn't participate in the second phase of the project, the completion of the third phase of the project can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

As the most important development project of Red Star Company in the next ten years, he is the leader of the company, and he is duty-bound to this.

Considering that he will work in Northwest China for a long time to come, he proposed to resign from the part-time job of general manager and be replaced by Li Changfeng, and appoint Zhou Hu as the executive deputy general manager.

Li Changfeng is the oldest among them, and besides Zhong Cheng, he has made the greatest contribution to the company, and his overall management ability is also outstanding.

Li Changfeng evaded a few words, but at Zhong Cheng's insistence, he had to agree.

Zhou Hu has held the title of director of the General Manager Office for the past two years, but he has been working as the executive vice president. His work ability and character have been recognized by everyone.

Everyone has no objection to this.

Zhong Cheng asked Fu Huaquan to send this personnel proposal to the directors. If the directors had no objections, it would be implemented from December.

His idea was not a whim, but he had planned it for a long time, but what happened today made him implement this idea in advance.

On the one hand, this is his promise to Li Changfeng. He told Li Changfeng two years ago that he would hand over the daily operation of Red Star Company to Li Changfeng.

On the other hand, after Pangu's economic management system and Yang Jian's evaluation system were operating normally, the management of Red Star Company was on the right track, and the company's senior management had no more noise. He could safely hand over the company's daily operations to Li Changfeng to take the lead.

And what happened today made him realize that his current limelight is too great, a tree is more beautiful than a forest, and the wind will destroy it.

He stepped back from the position of general manager and hid himself behind the scenes as the chairman, keeping a low profile, which was a good thing for Red Star Company and himself.

Life is full of compromises, and he has to accept this reality.
