Chapter 301 Securing Investment from the National Mining Group
The cooperation between Jinshan County and the State Mining Group has stalled for the time being due to disagreements over terms.
Yi Xuexi was very anxious and repeatedly asked Qi Tongwei to have a good talk with Tong Xinghui.
Qi Tongwei was also very anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.
He is waiting for the diamond reserves to be determined.
Once the diamond reserves are determined, Qi Tongwei believes Tong Xinghui will change the terms.
Therefore, in the past few days, Qi Tongwei has been frequently going to Mount Kumgang under the pretext of negotiating terms with Tong Xinghui.
Soon, the diamond reserves of Mount Kumgang were discovered to be 100 million carats.
Qi Tongwei approached Tong Xinghui again to discuss a collaboration.
"Director Tong, with such large diamond reserves, I think we should change our approach!"
Qi Tongwei said.
Rutile is not that valuable, so it is unreasonable to ask the State Mining Group to help Jinshan County build roads.
The previous idea was to also give the lead-zinc mine in Nanhuang Mountain to the State Mining Group, so that the State Mining Group would not suffer a loss.
Unfortunately, the State Mining Group deemed the lead-zinc reserves in Nanhuangshan too small and did not want to mine them.
But now that diamonds have been discovered in Mount Kumgang, and the reserves are so large, Mount Kumgang alone is enough to make the State Mining Corporation a fortune.
What are your current conditions?
Tong Xinghui asked.
If the diamond reserves discovered at Mount Kumgang are small, then maintaining the previous conditions will suffice.
However, given the vast diamond reserves discovered at Mount Kumgang, negotiating under the previous conditions is no longer feasible.
The roles have now reversed. Before, the initiative was in his hands, but now it is in Jinshan County's hands.
"Director Tong, 10 billion! Our county has contracted the Jingang Mountain to your group for 30 years!"
"If your group also contracts the lead-zinc mine in Nanhuang Mountain, our county will provide you with land for a smelter free of charge."
Qi Tongwei put forward new requirements.
The final price is unlikely to reach 10 billion, but some room for Tong Xinghui to negotiate should be left.
“Deputy Secretary Qi, 5 million yuan, our group will contract Mount Kumgang for 30 years.”
Tong Xinghui said.
He didn't want to pay too high a price either. Although diamonds are very valuable and the group would definitely make a lot of money, he wanted to save money wherever possible.
"9 million, Director Tong, as you know, we need to build roads!"
The secondary highway from Luzhou city to Kumgangsan alone will cost more than 6 million yuan.
This doesn't even include the electricity and water supply we provided for your group's mines, or the supporting facilities we offered for your group's smelters!
If all the diamonds from Mount Kumgang were mined, they would be worth at least three to four billion.
If it were made into a diamond, it would be worth at least seven or eight billion.
Qi Tongwei said.
Regardless of the outcome, the State Mining Group is guaranteed to make a profit, and could potentially make a fortune.
"6 billion!"
Tong Xinghui continued to haggle.
"8 billion!"
Qi Tongwei continued to bargain.
"6.5 million!"
Tong Xinghui continued to haggle.
"7.5 million!"
Qi Tongwei continued to bargain.
"7 million, but you have to provide the land for the smelter for free."
Tong Xinghui gave the final price.
"Okay, but I need to report this to Secretary Yi!"
Qi Tongwei said.
This price has met his expectations, but the matter still needs to be studied by the county's group.
"Okay, you make a decision as soon as possible. I also need to report to the group."
Tong Xinghui said.
After they parted ways, Qi Tongwei immediately returned to the county to report to Yi Xuexi.
"What did you say?"
Yi Xuexi was shocked after listening to Qi Tongwei's report.
7 million! You have to understand that Jinshan County's GDP last year was less than 4 million.
This investment by the State Mining Group is equivalent to twice the GDP of Jinshan County last year.
Despite its GDP of nearly 400 million, Jinshan County has many townships.
The county seat alone has a GDP of over 20 million, while the 23 townships each have only a few million.
Although this year's GDP will increase somewhat, the total will only be a little over 400 million.
The year is almost over, and we'll have to submit another very poor report to the city.
Once this cooperation is finalized, this year's GDP will increase by 7 million, a two- to three-fold increase.
By then, Jinshan County will also become famous in Handong.
"It's true, Secretary Yi, now all that's left is for the county to agree!"
Qi Tongwei said earnestly.
"You convene a county government office meeting immediately, and I'll prepare for a standing committee meeting as well. Let's get things settled as soon as possible!"
Yi Xuexi said that now they need to hurry up and finalize the cooperation with the State Mining Group.
"Yes, Secretary Yi!"
Qi Tongwei nodded.
Subsequently, Qi Tongwei convened a county government office meeting and approved Tong Xinghui's request.
Subsequently, the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee also approved Tong Xinghui's request.
Then, Jinshan County and the State Mining Group finalized the cooperation agreement.
Jinshan County immediately prepared for the signing ceremony and invited leaders from the city and province to participate.
Soon, the signing ceremony between Jinshan County and the State Mining Group officially began.
Li Xinhou, deputy manager of the State Mining Group, and Lian Zhongyu, director of the group's office, were present.
From Handong, the delegation included Vice Governor Wei Shanghua, Secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee Xu Yongchang, Mayor Luo Zhenbang, Vice Mayor Tan Feng, and Director of the Municipal Mining Bureau Qiu Shuhua.
The signing ceremony went smoothly, with leaders from the State Mining Group and Handong side delivering speeches.
"Comrade Yi Xuexi and Comrade Qi Tongwei, your county has given the city a wonderful surprise this time!"
After the signing ceremony, Party Secretary Xu Yongchang, Mayor Luo Zhenbang, and Vice Mayor Tan, who was in charge of the matter, called Yi Xuexi and Qi Tongwei aside to commend them.
It's rare for investments to exceed 100 million yuan in Handong. An investment of 700 million yuan would definitely cause a stir throughout Handong.
After today, Lüzhou and Jinshan County will become famous.
"Secretary Xu, Mayor Luo, Deputy Mayor Tan, this is all thanks to Comrade Qi Tongwei. He was the first to think of exploring our county's mineral resources."
He was also the first to bring in the State Mining Group, and through continuous negotiations, finally finalized the cooperation agreement.
Yi Xuexi said.
The 7 million yuan investment from the State Mining Group was mainly thanks to Qi Tongwei.
"Thanks to the correct leadership and strong support from the province and city, as well as the joint efforts of all the county's cadres, we were able to secure the investment from the State Mining Group."
Qi Tongwei said.
The fact that Jinshan County secured an investment of 7 million yuan is naturally thanks to the efforts of higher-level leaders.
Yi Xuexi only highlighted his own contributions, ignoring the contributions of the leaders above him.
"Jinshan County did a good job. Keep up the good work and find good investments for the remaining three mines!"
Xu Yongchang said.
Jinshan County has achieved such excellent results, and it is only natural that it deserves praise.
"Thank you, Secretary Xu! We will certainly live up to the city's expectations!"
Yi Xuexi and Qi Tongwei said.
They naturally had to comply with the municipal party secretary's request.
"Comrades Yi Xuexi and Qi Tongwei, your cooperation agreement with the State Mining Group stipulates that you should solve the transportation problem."
You must take this matter seriously and make it a key task for next year.
"Only with improved transportation can the National Mining Corporation mine the minerals in Mount Kumgang, and only then can you receive subsequent tax revenue!"
Luo Zhenbang said.
He knew that Qi Tongwei had previously wanted to build a high-standard highway from Jinshan County to Luzhou City, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough funds.
Now that Jinshan County has money, we need to hurry up and get this road repaired.
"Yes, Mayor Luo!"
Yi Xuexi and Qi Tongwei nodded.
