Investment Life

It took two days for Chen Yuanming to thoroughly communicate with Song Yi about the problems existing in the mine, but they did not take immediate action.As he said, the scope involved is too wide, and it is not something that can be completely resolved by simply cleaning up the inside.Therefore, after sorting out the information at hand, he came to the municipal party committee compound with a stack of documents.

Since Chen Yuanming returned to his hometown, he just went to the government building for a formality, and he put on a vacation look, without much involvement in business.Regarding Chen Yuanming's attitude, Secretary Yang also had some understanding. After all, a complicated agreement had just been dealt with, and the family was nervously welcoming the arrival of a new life, so it was necessary to take a good rest.

With this understanding, even Secretary Yang was taken aback when he saw Chen Yuanming in his living room.

"Xiao Chen?" Handing the bag in his hand to his wife, Secretary Yang quickly walked into the room, "I saw a military vehicle parked downstairs, so I thought... what happened?"

Smiling apologetically at Secretary Yang, Chen Yuanming explained, "I borrowed a car from a friend, and I really want to discuss something important with you."

He didn't even need his own car, and he visited his home in person, so the meaning inside was naturally self-evident.Secretary Yang immediately understood, and nodded to the young man in front of him. "Let's talk in the study."

The heads of the municipal party committee all lived in the small second floor with uniform standard configuration, and there was no reception on the west side. Secretary Yang closed the door, made a pot of tea himself, and sat down in front of Chen Yuanming.

"Okay, there are no outsiders now, so just speak up if you have something to say." Filling the glasses for both parties, Secretary Yang asked straight to the point.

Chen Yuanming didn't go around in circles either, he took out a stack of documents from the bag in his hand and placed them in front of him.

"This is?" Frowning slightly, Secretary Yang opened the file and looked carefully.At the beginning, I was quite serious, and the more I read the page, the faster I turned the page, but in the end, I got really angry.

It only took ten minutes to flip through the documents. Secretary Yang raised his head and looked at the young man sitting in front of him. "Is everything written on it true?"

"The evidence is solid, and there are still many hidden bank records that can be found."

"This...is a big case..."

Indeed, according to the information submitted by Chen Yuanming, this case is really not a small one.Since the end of last year, there have been changes in the city's mining, finance, and foreign trade departments, and a series of manipulations have been made around the mining industry in western Henan.You must know that the international price of molybdenum ore remains high nowadays, and many people are coveting this piece of fat in western Henan, but Chen Yuanming's business ideas are obviously not in line with their expectations. is angry.

However, with the top leaders in the city presiding over the overall situation and standing firmly by Chen Yuanming's side, many things cannot be done in the open.Faced with this situation, some people had a bad idea and used the managers placed by the municipal government in Yuxi Mining to carry out a series of private operations.These include reselling finished molybdenum at low prices, secretly encouraging the digging of black mines, cooperating with insiders to make fake accounts, and forging shipments. In just half a year, he has made huge profits of several million yuan from Yuxi Mining.

Of course, many of these are derived from illegal mining, which is difficult to find out directly on the books.At the same time, due to the wide scope involved and the mutual protection of officials and officials, it has become a big net that people cannot easily spy on. Now that this net has been directly poked in front of Secretary Yang himself, how can he not make him angry.

It's just that this anger was not shown, and even Secretary Yang's expression was a little more restrained.He is a real senior bureaucrat, and he is far more aware of the abuses in the officialdom than Chen Yuanming, who is a businessman. It is true that this is a big case, but because the case involves too much, it cannot be easily dealt with.

After pondering for a while, Secretary Yang raised his head and tapped the document twice with his knuckles, "Then Xiao Chen, what do you mean..."

He didn't express his position directly, but threw the question back into Chen Yuanming's hands. It's good that Secretary Yang is his ally now, but this "friendship" doesn't seem to be strong enough.

Chen Yuanming slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "As soon as possible, integrate the interior of Yuxi Mining, reduce the number of cadres appointed by the city government, and punish a group of officials involved in this case."

This appeal is indeed not too much for a victim, but it is no different from a disturbance to the city.It was only a year since he took office that he encountered such a serious case, at least it was a crime of negligence, which was not a good thing for his official career.

After a long silence, Secretary Yang sighed softly, "Xiao Chen, this case is a bit involved, and I'm afraid it won't be solved so easily."

As he spoke, he leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair.His demeanor no longer maintains the air of a top leader who is not angry and arrogant, but reveals a trace of the fatigue of an old man, "The so-called iron-clad yamen officials, some lower-level institutions are intertwined in the city, and they have some backgrounds. It's not easy to check. More importantly, some people still have a lot of opinions about the sale of goods in western Henan."

This, I am afraid, is the key to the matter.For most government bureaucrats today, local enterprises should be obedient hens, obediently laying golden eggs for them and giving them bonuses, which is a major source of gray income.But Chen Yuanming is different, he is not a hen, but a phoenix, his posture is too high, his foundation is too hard, his actions are open and close, and he walks in a bright and righteous way, making it impossible for those dirty officials to start.

That's all, even the part of the tax bonus that should have gone to the city government has been tightly locked by Chen Yuanming's business strategy. Everyone understands the principle of controlling shipments and increasing prices, but there is not enough shipments. Without the high profits brought by exports, it is inevitable that some people will be restless.Isn't being an official just to make money?The term of office is only a few years, who is willing to have their immediate interests suppressed by others?This is a real money deal, and there are naturally countless people who dare to take risks.

Secretary Yang couldn't say he didn't understand these private discussions, but he didn't expect these people to start making money while complaining to him.In fact, after the reform and opening up, the country’s investigation and punishment of corruption has become increasingly severe. Every year, a large number of officials will be dismissed. As a provincial and ministerial-level cadre with political ambitions, he will naturally not only focus on these immediate interests. It is very clear how rich and long-term benefits the route formulated by Chen Yuanming can bring.But not every bureaucrat can be so farsighted.

This creates a dead end.Even if he punished this group of people at great risk, Chen Yuanming would not easily let go and compromise with the current situation in the city.However, if the business model is not changed, there will be more people who want to prey on the company and profit from it, and want to make money out of the fire.Blindly acting recklessly will only result in mutual losses, and is not the solution to the problem.

Faced with Secretary Yang's attitude, Chen Yuanming's expression didn't change, he just smiled lightly, "It is precisely because I understand Secretary Yang's difficulties that I didn't go directly to the municipal committee building."

It's trust, and it's a compromise of sorts.For this point, both of them are like mirrors in their hearts.

Secretary Yang nodded clearly, "Actually, these people..." He clicked on the document, "I have also told me many times that if Yuxi can enter the exchange and occupy a place in the secondary market, I am afraid it will be easy. There are a lot. These days, commodities can only be bought and sold to make a profit, and the sincerity of Shanghai is also obvious, and now they have established an agreement with Baosteel, why don’t you try this step?”

This is already the best suggestion. Incorporating Yuxi Mining into the largest domestic exchange, increasing trading volume, and establishing the possibility of secondary profits in financial transactions, also makes some people shut up, withdraw their hands, and cooperate. .As long as Yuanyang can make this step.

Chen Yuanming shook his head, "For the mine, it's not a good idea to get on another chariot."

Secretary Yang frowned, "Xiao Chen, there must always be a workaround. Your idea is very good, but it doesn't fit the current situation. This is also my brother's sincere words. Take a step back, take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be bright..."

As a secretary of the municipal party committee, such a statement is already confiding in his heart.Chen Yuanming sighed softly, but still shook his head firmly.

"Secretary Yang, I understand the city's expectations for the financial sector, and I also know that futures trading is the general trend, but the molybdenum industry is far from being able to list on the market, and the output of other non-ferrous metals in the western Henan mine is also a big problem. For the relatively small number, my attitude is still to stay away from the overly complicated futures market in China, and I will not consider it for at least 3 or 5 years.”

Seeing Secretary Yang's expression of disapproval, Chen Yuanming paused for a few seconds and changed his tone slightly, "But we don't have to rely on other people's hands for the predicament we are facing today."

Um?After all, he had dealt with Chen Yuanming a lot, and Secretary Yang immediately understood the mystery in his words. Would he want to open a futures exchange in the city without relying on other people's hands?But before, didn't he strongly oppose the city's involvement in futures trading?

"If it's just for trading, we can completely adopt the spot market model." Chen Yuanming threw out the answer directly without further arguing.

"Nowadays, the provincial capital has one of the three major futures markets in the country. Although it does not involve metal trading, it is not appropriate for us to leave the provincial capital and directly invest in Shanghai or Shenzhen. More importantly, molybdenum mines The world field has not been listed at all, and it is not included in the futures trading. No matter how tight the thigh is now, it is just a marriage for others, and it is not in our interests. But the spot market is different. As a molybdenum mine In the place of origin, we are fully capable of establishing such a spot trading place to control commodity prices to a certain extent and produce a guiding effect. If one day in the future, molybdenum mines can be listed, our market has also been established, and we will enter the futures field in the future. lay a good foundation."

The fingers that had been knocking on the desk stopped for a while, and Secretary Yang sat up straight. This was completely different from what he expected, but in terms of feasibility, it was not impossible.

"Although our province is not a major industrial metal producing area, it is rich in rare metals and rare earth resources. Now that the country is going to strengthen the monitoring of rare earth resources, we might as well set up a shelf in the city to let our products circulate. You too Knowing that we have just acquired the Liming Chemical Plant in the city and signed a long-term agreement with Baosteel, our molybdenum products will only move towards the high-end field in the future, not just mass products such as concentrates and oxides, but more scarce and higher-end products Under the pressure of technological advantages, we will only become a full-fledged seller's market, and the most effective way is to seize the initiative. And this brand-new market should also solve the current problems faced by the market problem."

Secretary Yang naturally knew this "solution".At any time, building a system requires manpower and material resources, especially this kind of spot trading with great ambitions and abundant oil and water.And regardless of the gray aspects of it, in a real sense, it is a political achievement worth boasting. If the market can be changed, the economy will be revitalized, and the city's control over the mineral resources of the entire central Henan region will be expanded. , Then it will also be of great benefit to future promotion and advancement.Isn't such a spot trading market under the nose more attractive than Shanghai and Shenzhen, which are thousands of miles away?

After pondering for a moment, Secretary Yang said slowly, "The establishment of such a market still needs the approval of the provincial government and the higher-level committee..."

"If the city needs it, whether it is Yuxi Mining or my Yuanyang, we will fully cooperate." Chen Yuanming replied firmly, "I can't say anything about others, but Yuanyang can still say something in the two departments of mining and metallurgy. .”

That's where the attitude comes in.No matter how calmly he could hold on to the airs, Secretary Yang couldn't help but be moved now.Both public and private, this is an excellent method. What he needs to pay is to help Chen Yuanming clean up those moths that will interfere with the development of the mining industry in Western Henan, and those corrupt officials who have solid evidence and are not direct descendants.And what he will get is the full support of Yuanyang Group, and a large platform that can house his own family and has far-reaching influence.

"Haha, I'm afraid that the background behind those bastards is too hard." Secretary Yang shook his head with great emotion, seemingly worried about the difficulty of the task.

Chen Yuanming smiled slightly, picked up the teapot, and filled the teacups in front of the two of them, "Mei Xiang has laid a solid foundation since the bitter cold, so naturally she will get twice the result with half the effort."

"It's good to get twice the result with half the effort." Secretary Yang smiled, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, every time you give me a surprise and a surprise, this kind of unreasonable way of playing cards can make people's hearts heavy. .”

"The so-called impermanence of soldiers, we can't always be led by others." Chen Yuanming picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, "In fact, what I want is only a few years of stable development, but the world is hard. "

Secretary Yang was still touched by Chen Yuanming's exclamation.The young man was unwilling to feed the wolves with his family's assets, but gave them another piece of fat they could fight for.The spot market is indeed a good thing, but no one can guarantee that this market will not go bad and will not deviate from their preset goals.

In this complex and difficult world, the only way is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.The market is like this, so is the officialdom.

With mixed feelings in his heart, Secretary Yang also took a sip of the cold tea.But in any case, this young man is blameless to himself, and he can definitely be called a lucky general.Ordinary entrepreneurs are nothing more than giving some money and share dividends, but Chen Yuanming has always played this game, and everything he gave away was a real stepping stone that could help him advance, and it was a real political achievement.Based on this alone, he should reach out and help them to the end.

Finally, after putting down the teacup, Secretary Yang nodded at Chen Yuanming, "Let's go to the province together in a couple of days. Your vacation is going to be wasted again."

Chen Yuanming didn't play any tricks this time, but nodded seriously, "I understand, I will follow your arrangement."
