Chapter 297: Big Project

Without agriculture, there is no stability; without industry, there is no wealth. If a county's economy is to develop, it must have industry as support and big projects to drive it.

The Provincial Committee and Provincial Government have decided to let the oil and gas resource comprehensive utilization project of Qinchuan Petroleum land in Yingjiang. Li Mingzhou naturally wants to put this project in Ganshui to help his son-in-law accumulate political achievements.

After attending the meeting, Li Mingzhou returned to the province first and went to Niu Qianhua for the first time to communicate the landing of the oil and gas resource comprehensive utilization project.

Both are members of the Provincial Standing Committee, so Niu Qianhua will naturally give face to this small matter, because no matter where the project lands, it has no impact on him.

On March 11th, the Municipal Committee Office notified Ganshui that Niu Qianhua, Executive Vice Governor, Su Xingyu, Chairman of Qinchuan Petroleum, and Nie Zhaohai, person in charge of the oil and gas resource comprehensive utilization project, would go to Ganshui County for research in the near future.

Li Mingzhou also specially called Lu Fan to explain some things.

Except for Secretary Li Mingzhou, Ganshui has not had provincial-level leaders come for research for more than ten years, which is enough to show how plain Ganshui's development is and how unpopular it is with leaders.

And this research involves a big project of 24 billion yuan, so the Ganshui County Committee and County Government attach great importance to it. Lu Fan specially convened a Standing Committee meeting to deploy this reception.

At the meeting, Lu Fan required the county government to provide at least three points suitable for project landing for Qinchuan Petroleum to choose, and organize Ganshui's investment attraction preferential policies into a book to show Qinchuan Petroleum Ganshui's greatest sincerity.

Lu Fan emphasized that the oil and gas resource comprehensive utilization project is of great significance to Ganshui. Everyone must cherish this rare opportunity, hold the determination of success or death, go all out to do a good job in service. If any leader or department dares to make mistakes in this matter, the County Committee must resolutely remove them!

After the meeting, the County Committee Office, County Government Office, Economic Development, Land, and other relevant departments moved immediately, preparing for the reception work in a tight manner.

After the news spread, the reaction of the cadres and masses in Ganshui was very strong. Everyone was talking about this 24 billion big project. Many people were full of expectations for this project, believing that it would bring more opportunities and development space to Ganshui. Even for material supply, it could make some people's pockets bulge, workers had places to go, and small shop businesses could be better.

Therefore, everyone was praising the new County Party Secretary for his ability, hoping that this project could land in Ganshui County smoothly.

On March 15th, at the invitation of Li Mingzhou, member of the Provincial Standing Committee and Secretary of the Yingjiang Municipal Committee, Executive Vice Governor Niu Qianhua and leaders of Qinchuan Petroleum came to Ganshui County.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Secretary Li Mingzhou presided over a symposium in Ganshui County to study and plan the cooperation project between Ganshui County and Qinchuan Petroleum Group.

Li Mingzhou, on behalf of the Yingjiang Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, welcomed the arrival of Executive Vice Governor Niu Qianhua, Chairman Su Xingyu, and his party, and expressed his gratitude to Qinchuan Petroleum Group for its long-term strong support for Yingjiang's economic and social development. He pointed out that Yingjiang implements the deployment requirements of the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government, grasps projects, and strives to promote high-quality development. He hoped that both sides would strengthen communication and connection, promote the cooperation between enterprises and localities to continue to go deep and solid, promote the planned projects to land as soon as possible, and strive to achieve common development and mutual benefit and win-win results. He required Ganshui County to implement the concept of "supporting Qinchuan Petroleum is developing Ganshui" into work, create a good environment for enterprise development, and provide strong guarantees.

Chairman Su Xingyu stated that Qinchuan Petroleum Group will resolutely implement the decision-making and deployment of the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government, deepen cooperation with the Yingjiang Municipal Committee, Municipal Government, and Ganshui County Committee and County Government, seize opportunities, accelerate the landing of major projects, promote the high-quality development of enterprises, and make new contributions to Yingjiang and Ganshui to write a new chapter of catching up and surpassing in the new era.

At the meeting, Lu Fan reported on the project site selection and surrounding situation, road conditions, water use, electricity use, etc.

Lu Fan, on behalf of the Ganshui County Committee and County Government, solemnly stated that the oil and gas resource comprehensive utilization project has good economic benefits for Ganshui. Ganshui will actively coordinate and cooperate, help solve all problems and difficulties in project promotion in a timely manner, fully support enterprise development, create a better environment for Qinchuan Petroleum's development in Ganshui, and strive to achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.

The two sides conducted in-depth communication and negotiation on the project landing and determined relevant measures and opinions.

After the meeting, Ganshui carefully prepared a lunch, mainly featuring the beautiful water tofu series.

Executive Vice Governor Niu Qianhua ate with relish and praised: "The taste is really good, I ate the tofu taste from before!"

Lu Fan hurriedly reported: "Provincial Governor, Ganshui tofu is made through multiple processes such as soaking beans, grinding pulp, burning pulp, pointing brine, and pressing. It has delicate and fragrant, rich elasticity, does not break after long boiling, does not deform, contains high protein, low fat, and has the effects of lowering blood pressure, lowering fat, and lowering cholesterol. It is an ideal health food. We are applying for national geographical indication products and expect to welcome the preliminary review next month."

Niu Qianhua said while eating: "Right, even if the wine is fragrant, it is afraid of the deep alley. I didn't know there was this specialty until I came to Ganshui. Getting the national geographical indication product certification is of great benefit to the development of the tofu industry. Secretary Lu is still very visionary!"

Niu Qianhua suddenly asked: "Secretary Lu looks less than thirty years old? Who was the County Party Secretary earlier, you or Hongtao?"

Lu Fan hurriedly said: "Secretary Wang is my idol and learning example. The achievements he has made make me look up, and I can't see his back!"

Li Mingzhou helped: "Provincial Governor Niu doesn't know, Lu Fan is still Hongtao's direct student!"

Niu Qianhua laughed: "There is such a stubble? It is really a famous teacher who produces high disciples. Hongtao did an excellent job in Yinzhou. Lu also did quite well. Work hard and strive to catch up with your teacher!"

Chairman Su Xingyu on the side showed a thoughtful look, feeling that this young County Party Secretary had two brushes. Look at Li Mingzhou's attitude towards him, it is very unusual, and it cannot be explained simply by key training.

And who is Li Mingzhou? Su Xingyu naturally knows clearly. Therefore, when Li Mingzhou proposed to put the project in Ganshui, he agreed readily, just to get closer to each other, for which he refused the strong requests of several County Party Secretaries and the greetings of very many leaders.

Lu Fan naturally would not neglect the "God of Wealth," constantly picking food for Su Xingyu and finding opportunities to climb and talk.

Su Xingyu also intended to know Lu Fan, and the two sides chatted very harmoniously.

During the lunch break, Li Mingzhou called Lu Fan to the room and exhorted: "The project landing is basically negotiated. Tomorrow you will sign a cooperation agreement with Qinchuan Petroleum. Next, Ganshui must do a good job in the various services for project construction. This is a provincial key project and also a municipal key guarantee project. There must be no mistakes."

Lu Fan patted his chest and guaranteed: "Please rest assured, Secretary. I will list this project as a 'top leader project,' personally ask, personally arrange, personally connect, dispatch once a week, from project establishment to construction, I will watch the whole process, provide the highest quality service, and ensure that the enterprise is built at the fastest speed and put into operation early."

Li Mingzhou suddenly said: "Wang Hongtao has a big movement in Yinzhou. I estimate there will be changes!"

Lu Fan asked worriedly: "Secretary Wang won't have anything, right?"

"Sigh, moving other people's cakes will inevitably cause a counterattack. Wang Hongtao's foundation in Yinzhou is not deep yet. I estimate he can't resist it and will be refrigerated for a period of time. But don't worry, dormant to settle, startled to the future, his rise is not something those people can stop!"

"That's good. I hope Secretary Wang can go smoothly. If such a good leader is secretly calculated, there is really no heaven!"

Li Mingzhou said earnestly: "It is easy to break if it is too rigid, and it is easy to bend if it is too soft. Only by combining rigidity and softness can one be prosperous for a long time! Lu Fan, you must take it as a warning. You can do some things, but you can't do them with great fanfare. You will slowly understand the scale in the middle!"

After the lunch break, Lu Fan took the leaders and the inspection team to the industrial park.

Arriving at the park, Lu Fan introduced: "Leaders, the industrial park is located south of the county seat, with a planned total area of 230 hectares, and all land acquisition work has been completed, all of which is industrial land. Since the start of planning and construction, the park has followed the development idea of 'building while introducing' and increased investment attraction efforts, actively introducing enterprises and projects to settle in. At present, there are 8 enterprises in the park, including Bawanli Food Company, Cement Plant, Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Company, etc., including 5 industrial enterprises, with 600 employees..."

As he spoke, Lu Fan felt blushing. The industrial park of a dignified county developed into this bird-like appearance, which is really shameful!

The only advantage is that there is a lot of land, and Qinchuan Petroleum can pick and use it at will.

Since it was decided that the project would land in Ganshui, President Su simply didn't pretend. Everyone was busy, and he was too lazy to continue the inspection, directly selecting the "cabbage heart" position of the industrial park, and throwing the rest of the things to the project person in charge, Nie Zhaohai.

Even Li Mingzhou and Niu Qianhua didn't expect President Su to be so refreshing, and both sides were naturally happy.

In the evening, Ganshui prepared a grand dinner. This time Lu Fan didn't dare to take out Ganshui specialty beautiful water wine, but served "bottled mineral water."

As the host, Lu Fan sat at the main table.

The landing of the project is a great joy and good thing for Ganshui's economy and political life. Lu Fan naturally wants to entertain the guests well.

Even though his drinking capacity increased greatly, he couldn't stand pouring more than a catty of white wine in half an hour.

Li Mingzhou looked at it and couldn't bear it, taking the initiative to control the situation and entertaining the guests on behalf of Lu Fan.

The next morning, under the witness of Secretary Li Mingzhou, the Ganshui County Government and Qinchuan Petroleum signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement, and County Chief Wang Baoguo and project person in charge Nie Zhaohai solemnly signed their big names!

That night, Qinchuan News and Yingjiang News grandly reported the signing. This is the project with the largest investment scale of Qinchuan Petroleum Group in Yingjiang. The project has a total investment of about 24 billion yuan and consists of 10 production units and corresponding public works and auxiliary facilities. It is estimated that after the project is completed, it can achieve an annual output value of more than 14 billion yuan and tax revenue of more than 4 billion yuan, which will become a demonstration project of low-carbon economy, circular economy, and resource comprehensive utilization. ===== CHAPTER 298 =====
