Vol 2 Chapter 750: Promoted to Deputy Leader again

After hearing Qin Hai's request, Cui Hongchun smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, the director did not expect it. When we went to the central government to report the iron ore price increase problem, the director said that Qin Hai would certainly ask for it. He also made a bet with our chief. "
"Uh ..." Qin Hai sweated heavily, and the two central leaders bet on him. This picture is so beautiful that he dare not imagine. After a brief stun, Qin Hai asked: "Uncle Cui, the iron ore incident actually alarmed the central leadership?"
Cui Hongchun nodded and said: "The price of iron ore can be said to be small or large. To a small mile, it only affects an industry, although the increase in upstream raw material prices will bring downstream products. Chain reaction, but the amount of less than 10 billion US dollars a year will not have much impact on the national economy. But to Dali, iron ore can increase prices, copper ore, crude oil, wood, soybeans and other commodities They can also increase prices. If we cannot explore a mechanism to cope with price fluctuations in the international market, we will be subject to people on various occasions. This is a great risk for our country. Therefore, the central leadership comrades The issue of rising ore prices is very important and instructs the Development and Planning Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and other departments to actively respond. "
"So, what does the central leadership mean?" Qin Hai asked again.
Chong Hongchun said: "The Central Committee hopes that the Economic and Trade Commission can organize the iron and steel enterprises to join forces to jointly negotiate with Vale and BHP Billiton to obtain a reasonable price."
Qin Haidao: "This idea is right. So what is the Economic and Trade Commission planning to do?"
Cui Hongchun smiled bitterly: "The idea is completely okay, but it is not so simple to implement it concretely. Each enterprise has difficulties for each enterprise. The jurisdiction of the Economic and Trade Commission over the enterprise is limited and it is impossible to use administrative orders. The method requires the company to do things. A few days ago, I asked the following comrades to make statistics. At present, there are more than 500 iron and steel enterprises and foreign trade enterprises with iron ore import qualifications across the country. It's too difficult. "
"What then?" Qin Hai asked curiously.
Cui Hongchun smiled and pointed at Qin Hai. Said: "No, we are counting on you to resolve this contradiction."
"Me?" Qin Hai froze for a moment. He immediately laughed and said, "Director Cui, you are too bullying. I am not a member of your economic and trade commission. The economic and trade commission did not even send me a penny of wages. I was asked to help rectify small steel. Now, let me help preside over the iron ore negotiations. This is exactly Lazhuangding. "
Cui Hongchun smirked on the floor and said, "Did you just offer to do this? Did you forget it at a glance?"
"I'm just talking about it, are you serious?" Qin Hai said with a scorn.
in fact. Qin Hai's words were just polite. From his heart, he really wanted to be the host. He knows that officials worry too much about things. In this kind of international business negotiations, it is impossible to defeat opponents without a firm will. China has a lot of issues related to international cooperation, all of which have created opportunities for the other party because of internal contention, and ultimately had to passively accept various unfavorable terms.
In contrast. Qin Hai is much more comfortable to do this. He has his own company as a support behind him when he takes various measures. There is also no need to look ahead and look back, even if some places do not follow the rules, no one will come to him with the article. In this way, when Xiaogang was governed before, when the owners of the ministry encountered troubles and the media exposed, switching to an official may have already bowed his head, but Qin Hai was able to remain unmoved or even use more evil methods. Go back and strike.
Qin Hai actively requested to lead the iron ore negotiations, of course, not because of patriotism. His own Daqin Group has an annual output of 50 million tons of steel, and the consumption of iron ore is also very large. The rise in iron ore prices has directly affected the interests of the group. Song Hongxuan made an estimate if the price of a ton of iron ore rose by $ 40. Daqin Group ’s annual expenditure on iron ore raw materials will increase by more than US $ 3 billion, equivalent to more than 20 billion yuan. Such a large profit is also worthy of Qin Hai to run away for it.
"Uncle Cui, I would like to ask, if we designated Da Qin Group to lead the iron ore negotiations, how much authority can the Economic and Trade Commission give us?"
After speaking those polite words, Qin Hai began to take a serious look and asked Cui Hongchun.
Instead of answering, Cui Hongchun asked, "What kind of permissions do you need?"
"First of all, the import authority of iron ore must be reduced. Just now you said that more than 500 steel companies and trading companies in the country have import rights. I hope that the Economic and Trade Commission can coordinate the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to review the import and export authority of various agencies, The right to import iron ore is reduced to less than 30 companies, so that they can coordinate and avoid killing each other. "Qin Hai said.
Cui Hongchun frowned, saying: "There is no problem in compressing the right to import, but it will be difficult to reduce it to only 30. I will calculate it for you. There are more than a dozen large foreign trade companies in the central government, right? 20 large iron and steel companies, right, including Daqin Iron and Steel Company, which belongs to your Daqin Group, can you not have the right to import iron ore? Provinces, municipalities, and cities with separate plans, at least one trading company with the right to import is required. Counting it down, there are more than 30. In addition to some special types of enterprises ... at least, more than 120 companies must be retained. "
Qin Hai grinned, showing a mocking smile, and said, "This is the problem of your government. You have to consider this and take care of it. In the end, nothing can be done."
Chong Hongchun said: "This is also no way. The central government can't talk about it. To let departments and local governments do things, you have to take care of their interests? Too broad, easy to mess; but too much control, the system That is rigidity. Not to mention anything else, if I deprive your Daqin Iron and Steel Company of its import rights, would you be happy? "
"Okay." Qin Hai was defeated, Cui Hongchun said it is reasonable. As an entrepreneur, Qin Hai himself is willing to have more autonomy. It is self-evident that major iron and steel companies and provinces and cities hope to have some authority, which is also a reasonable request. The Economic and Trade Commission would rather lose the iron ore negotiations and would not embarrass the following units on such issues.
"Even if they retain their import rights, they are required not to sign iron ore import agreements with foreign investors without authorization within this year. All agreements must be reviewed by the Economic and Trade Commission before signing. Is this requirement not high?" Qin Hai asked.
Cui Hongchun thought about it, and wrote a note in the book with a pen, saying: "I need to discuss this with a few leaders, but I can only say that it is best to do it. Now the country emphasizes the need to simplify the government and decentralize the power. Intervene more in the business behavior of enterprises. "
"This is the price of marketization." Qin Hai sighed.
The unified planning system has its rigidity, but it still has its advantages when it comes to things such as iron ore negotiations. At the very least, it can avoid the demolition of each company. As a private entrepreneur, Qin Hai did not want the entire system to return to the planned mode, but at this time, he missed the way that the central government had the final say.
With emotion, Qin Hai knew that he was unable to reverse the tide of history. All he could do was to use his own ingenuity and the best work under the existing system.
"I hope that the Economic and Trade Commission will give me a name, so that I can go to the steel companies to negotiate separately, otherwise the name is not regular, and people are not even interested in seeing me." Qin Hai demanded.
"Your chairman Qin Da would go to visit the steel companies. I'm afraid everyone has to meet each other?" Cui Hongchun joked, and then said: "It's not difficult to get a reputation. We are considering setting up an iron ore import coordination team. If the central government can approve it, you will continue to be the deputy leader. "
"It's another working group." Qin Hai smiled. "You can't be a little creative. What's your name?"
Cui Hongchun also laughed: "If you have any good ideas, you can suggest it. We old minds can only get such a name."
"Uh, let's forget it, it's good to call the working group." Qin Hai also had no interest in innovation. He nodded and agreed. "Then I will continue to be the deputy team leader."
It is customary for the government to refer to various agencies that carry out comprehensive coordination work as "working groups ~ EbookFREE.me." Not to mention small things such as iron ore negotiations, even in the new century, the important development of the western region, For major projects such as revitalizing the old industrial bases in Northeast China, their leading bodies are also called "teams", and national leaders often deserve to be a team leader.
This conventional name is more familiar to officials within the system. If you really change your idea as Qin Hai said, it may have the effect of adding a snake. Facts have proved that Qin Hai, under the title of "deputy team leader" every time, goes to work in the place, and it really makes people feel unclear.
After implementing the issue of identity, the next issues were the formulation of policies, the issuance of documents, and the establishment of a multi-department coordination mechanism. Cui Hongchun discussed with Qin Hai one by one. Qin Hai was originally prepared and brought many thoughtful thoughts. Cui Hongchun proposed amendments to these ideas based on his work experience and the requirements of the central government. Both parties are acquaintances, and there is no need to shun any face. Various opinions are put forward frankly, which also saves the cost of communication.
When coming out of Cui Hongchun's office, Qin Hai already had a Shangfang sword. However, he also knows that the sword in his hand cannot cut people casually. The most fundamental way to make others cooperate with his work is to serve people with morality. (To be continued)
