Chapter 1130 New Opportunity

In fact, Zhu Daidong has long wanted to find a time to invite Zhou Baoning to dinner. He also prepared the place in advance. Now Zhou Baoning takes the initiative to ask him out. Naturally, he will not let go of such an opportunity. Zhu Daidong asked Wu Chengke to contact Zhou Baoning's driver. In that place, he took Wu Chengke and Du Shujun to eat once, and the taste was very good.

Kikawa's food taste pursues heavy taste. In addition to the pursuit of deliciousness, if it is braised, not everyone can accept that taste.

While eating, Zhu Daidong reported to Zhou Baoning on his research during this period. During this period, he went to more than 60 enterprises and belonged to several major industries. Every enterprise is very representative. For example, chemical plants have profits but pollute the environment, some do not pollute the environment but lose money, and some pollute the environment and lose money. For such enterprises, Zhu Daidong believes that the city should support those enterprises that do not pollute the environment, reduce or exempt relevant fees, and provide policy support.

In addition, like the food industry, those enterprises that pay attention to nutrition and hygiene are now struggling, but those junk food are very popular. He believes that the city should come up with a set of effective methods to encourage those enterprises that produce safely to develop the economy and not let honest people suffer losses. If honest people suffer losses, it will still be the people who will suffer in the end.

"Comrade Daidong, what you said is very reasonable. Please take care of this matter. Please hold a special meeting with the municipal government to study a specific measure for discussion at the Standing Committee." Zhou Baoning said that the biggest difference between Zhu Daidong and Oupuban is that Zhu Daidong does more and says less. And the European Spectrum class does the opposite. It says more and does less, and it is unrealistic to do things. It wants to be a fat man in one bite. How can it be possible?

"Yes." Zhu Daidong said that he had been reporting his work just now. Zhou Baoning invited him to dinner, it must be more than just eating. During this period, he basically didn't stay in the office during the day, and he was not particularly clear about what happened to the municipal government. Moreover, the municipal party committee compound is three kilometers away from the municipal government building. No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to know what happened to Zhou Baoning.

"Comrade Daidong, what do the enterprises in the city look like now?" Zhou Baoning asked, Zhu Daidong went down to investigate. They are not allowed to be accompanied by other deputy mayors or cadres directly under them. They only have a secretary and a propaganda officer, and they are running around the city. Because of this incident, Zhong Zhaoyun also reported to him that the mayor of Muchuan City went down to investigate every day for a long time. People in Kikawa City don't say anything. I'm afraid outsiders will feel that Zhu Daidong has been rejected in Kigawa City.

"It's almost done." Zhu Daidong said that the state-owned enterprises in Muchuan City have surpassed Chudu in terms of scale and quantity. There are only 3,216 municipal state-owned enterprises in Chudu. When Zhu Daidong first arrived in Muchuan, nearly 600 enterprises stopped production due to losses or bankruptcy. There are nearly 5,000 state-owned enterprises in Muchuan City, including more than 20 large state-owned enterprises.

"Comrade Daidong, what do you think of Muchuan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory? Gu Chuanxiang called me this afternoon and gave me a lot of trouble. It is said that after Mayor Zhu took office, he didn't care about the locomotive factory. Zhou Baoning said with a smile that his words were both ridicule and reproach. How to understand it depends on personal cultivation.

"That's not true. I just think that the locomotive factory is a super-large state-owned enterprise in our city, and I don't know much about locomotives. I want to do more homework before I go to see it. I didn't expect Comrade Gu Chuanxiang to have a problem. Zhu Daidong said with a smile.

"Daidong, some things are too pragmatic and may not be a good thing. Although you are only the acting mayor, I have always regarded you as the official mayor. I really admire your achievements in Chu City. I hope that when you get to Muchuan City, you can put down your burden, don't have any worries, and let go of your hands and feet. Zhou Baoning said slowly.

"Thank you, Secretary Baoning, for your support for my work. Since I arrived in Muchuan, I have regarded myself as a member of Muchuan. I believe that under your leadership, Muchuan will definitely regain his vitality." Zhu Daidong said movingly that he did have some of his own views on the next work of Muchuan City. He had also exchanged views with Zhou Baoning before, but the opinions of the two were not very consistent. Now that Zhou Baoning can say such a thing, it is obvious that he is ready to make some concessions.

Zhou Baoning's stubbornness is famous in the whole province. Because of his persistence, the Oupu class can only be transferred in the end. Even if there is the support of the Oupu class, it has not been able to stand firm in Muchuan City. Although this has something to do with the working methods and methods of the European spectrum class, it is also a very important reason why the European spectrum class did not convince Zhou Baoning about the development ideas of Muchuan City.

"Do you attach great importance to Kikawa Smelter?" Zhou Baoning felt the distance between him and Zhu Daidong, because what he said just now was much closer.

"Yes, Kikawa Smelter is one of the largest non-ferrous metal manufacturers in Asia, and it also has a certain influence in the global metal market. However, it is regrettable that Kikawa Smelter has no say in the price of international metals. In particular, the indium produced by Muchuan smelter is basically sold as waste, which is really a pity. I wonder if I can use the enterprise of Muchuan Smelter to promote the economic development of the city. Zhu Daidong said slowly that his current idea is still very mature, and he still needs to consult a lot of relevant information.

"Indium?" Zhou Baoning obviously heard of this term for the first time. He knew that Muchuan Smelter mainly produces zinc and lead. The annual output is calculated in 10,000 tons. But it seems that he has never heard of the production of indium. For a long time, his attention to Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory has always been the first priority. He even knows all the team leaders in the Locomotive and Vehicle Factory. Although this has something to do with him who has worked in the Locomotive and Vehicle Factory for nearly 20 years, the frequency of Zhou Baoning's going to the Locomotive and Rolling Stock

"This is a non-renewable rare metal. The world's total output is only three or four hundred tons, while one enterprise of Muchuan Smelter occupies 260 tons. We can fully control the price of indium in the international market." Zhu Daidong said firmly.

"What can I say, it's only more than 200 tons in total. What are the benefits?" Zhou Baoning said that no matter how expensive the price of indium is, after all, how much economic benefits will the output be there?

"The price of indium is calculated in kilograms. At present, indium on the international market is about 200 US dollars per kilogram, that is, a catty of indium can be sold for 100 US dollars, and it costs more than 800 yuan in RMB." Zhu Daidong said that the price of a ton of indium is about 200,000 US dollars, while 260 tons is more than 50 million US dollars. Of course, this price is the price that Muchuan Smelter can sell directly internationally, but in fact, as far as Zhu Daidong knows, all products of Muchuan Smelter except the most important zinc, lead and copper are sold through foreign trade companies, and the price of Muchuan Smelter to foreign trade companies is $20,000.

Du Zhongde, the director of Kikawa Smelter, looked proud when he introduced that hundreds of tons of indium can generate more than five million dollars in foreign exchange every year. At that time, Zhu Daidong also thought it was very good. More than 80 yuan per catty of indium was much more expensive than copper. However, after understanding, he found that the price of indium in the international market was actually 200 dollars per kilogram, and the profiteering of foreign trade companies had reached ten times, which was even worse than robbing money.

"Two hundred dollars? Why have I never heard Du Zhongde talk about it? Zhou Baoning said in surprise that Muchuan Smelter can extract 260 tons of indium from zinc ore and other ores every year. If it can really sell for 200 US dollars per kilogram, it will be more than 50 million US dollars. If it is converted to RMB, it will be more than 400 million yuan. This alone is enough for Muchuan Smelter to

"Because the smelter is not sold directly to the international market, but is sold by a foreign trade company, only 20 dollars per kilogram." Zhu Daidong sighed and said.

"Twenty dollars? What does Du Zhongde do? Zhou Baoning snorted coldly, if the smelter can make this money, the city will not support the smelter at all. More than 300 million yuan of profits are lost in vain every year. How much was the fiscal revenue of Muchuan City last year? If more than three billion yuan can be handed over to the finances, the financial tension in Kikawa City will not be alleviated at once.

"It may be no wonder Comrade Du Zhongde. I also asked people to contact foreign countries directly before I know that there will be such a high price of indium in the international market now." Zhu Daidong said that the foreign trade company that had business dealings with the smelter on indium was Zhang Tianrui's. The last time he came to Muchuan was to contact the smelter.

"Dai Dong, what are you going to do about this?" Zhou Baoning asked, after all, this is all enterprise behavior, because of information asymmetry, it is actually very common for such a situation to happen in China. It's just that the smelter's capital involved is so much that he is very moved.

"From next month, I want the smelter to stop selling indium." Zhu Daidong said lightly.

"Stop selling?" Zhou Baoning asked puzzledly, since indium is so valuable, it has to be sold quickly. It can not only generate foreign exchange for the country, but also generate revenue for the finance. Why not kill two birds with one stone?

"Yes, we should not only stop selling, but also find a way to buy back the indium produced by other domestic indium-producing enterprises as much as possible." Zhu Daidong said that in fact, the production capacity of the Muchuan smelter can fully influence the price in the international market. But Zhu Daidong planned not only to make money, but also to take this opportunity to let the whole of Muchuan City take this ride. ( To be continued)
