Cao Qingtai was excited.

Although he is not in charge of investment promotion, as the vice-president of Pingyuan Province and the provincial governor Huang Shaotang is the most trustworthy and capable assistant. As long as it is beneficial to the economic development of Pingyuan Province, he must do his best to strive for any job.

"Zhengyang, where did you get the news?" Cao Qingtai looked at Sha Zhengyang with a bright look: "Oh, by the way, you are in the large enterprise working committee now, but the large enterprise working committee has not yet been officially listed, have you already started to intervene in enterprise management?"

"No, senior official Cao, the working committee of large enterprises, has not yet determined the responsibilities. What is basically determined is to manage ideas, teams, organizations, and personnel. Some of them can only be discussed and discussed. The central government has not yet made it clear. However, we are now coordinating with ministries and commissions including the National Development and Planning Commission, the State Economic and Trade Commission and other ministries. Some key industries and basic core areas and even key industries, large state-owned enterprises, especially central enterprises, must play a main role. This is basically agreed by the central government, but it only needs to be specific and detailed."

This is also the work that Sha Zhengyang and Cai Zheng were mainly doing during this period.

Through several reports and connections with other ministries and commissions, other ministries and commissions also realized the particularity and importance of this work, especially because they were taken first by the new members of the preparatory group of the large enterprise work committee. They naturally became alert, afraid that the large enterprise work committee would erode their rights and responsibilities in the future and make them embarrassingly endorse the central leaders, so they began to pay attention to it, and the olive branches issued by the large enterprise work committee were much more active than they were before.

Cao Qingtai's eyes were a little more inquired, "So your original idea was still recognized by the senior management?"

Sha Zhengyang also mentioned this situation roughly with Cao Qingtai, but Cao Qingtai also felt that this question was too big and that the large enterprise working committee was a bit overstepping its authority. But now Sha Zhengyang took the lead and forced other ministries to follow suit, which made the large enterprise working committee take the initiative.

But taking the initiative does not mean that you will be able to dominate in the future. According to Sha Zhengyang's own estimate, the National Development and Planning Commission may still have to be led by the State Development and Planning Commission. The large-scale enterprise working committee can only play a supporting role.

Even so, Sha Zhengyang and Cai Zheng, on behalf of the Working Committee of the Large Enterprises, also taught a lesson to the people of the National Development and Planning Commission and the National Economic and Trade Commission, especially the Prime Minister, which made them even more important to pay attention to it. This alone made Wei Shou laugh so hard that he couldn't stop.

"It should have attracted the attention of the senior management. Well, there may be some instructions. The attitudes of the National Development and Planning Commission and the National Economic and Trade Commission have begun to become positive. We have had a lot of contact with them during this period." Sha Zhengyang then returned to the topic: "So, given the current situation of coal prices falling, electricity prices are sluggish, and electricity surplus has also emerged. China Aluminum intends to launch an electrolytic aluminum project in areas with abundant coal and electricity. I also heard this inadvertently."

"Our plain is still quite rich in coal resources, and I heard that senior officials of Shaotang also wanted to discuss coal-fired power projects in our province with the leadership of the National Development and Planning Commission. However, if the thermal power project is to be launched in the situation of surplus power, the National Development and Planning Commission may not agree with it, and it is very difficult..." Cao Qingtai pondered: "But if China Aluminum can put the electrolytic aluminum project on our plain, it will not be a problem."

Electrolytic aluminum is a high-energy-consuming project and has a great demand for electricity. Generally speaking, when choosing a project site, you will choose thermal power or hydropower-enriched areas. Although the coal quality in the plains is not very good, the coal resources are still quite rich. You are very eager for such projects, especially if you can connect it in parallel with thermal power projects, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"The news I got is that China Aluminum may not just want to launch a project, but the central government means giving priority to the western region." Sha Zhengyang said while thinking: "It is said that the central government is very worried about the current economic development gap between coastal areas and central and western regions. It is intended to tilt the western region in terms of policies and projects. Therefore, projects like this are also very suitable for the western region, and have an immediate pulling effect on driving the economic development of the western region and driving local employment, so..."

"You mean that Pingyuan Province is as a central region, there is no chance?" Cao Qingtai frowned, "Policies and projects are tilted towards the west. Does the central government have this idea?"

"At present, it is just a proposal by some comrades within the central government. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, Deng Gong proposed that coastal areas should be given priority in the development of coastal areas, and the central and western regions should take into account the overall situation and support coastal areas to develop first. However, when coastal areas develop to a certain stage, they should support the development of the central and western regions in turn. At present, some comrades in the central government believe that the conditions are becoming more mature and should start to prepare in this regard, and even consider some projects with relatively suitable conditions in all aspects."

Sha Zhengyang has been dealing with people from the National Development and Planning Commission and the National Economic and Trade Commission during this period. He has become more familiar with the people who have gone through the years, so he is also familiar with these internal situations.

But for now, this is just the opinions of some comrades within the central government and have not yet risen to the opinions of the central decision-making level. Sha Zhengyang remembered that in his previous life, he would have to wait until 1999 to have such views. However, it would take until 2000 to truly implement the promotion. This is the sign that the country will establish a leading group for the Western Development, which is the official beginning to promote western development.

"The central government only focuses on the western part, what about the central part? Isn't it because my grandmother doesn't love my uncle or love me?" Cao Qingtai said in dissatisfaction, "The central government cannot be so narrow-minded, right? Of course, the western part should be considered, but the central part should also be included, and the central part should be considered uniformly."

"I just heard this statement, and it was private, but since some comrades have such opinions, they also have some influence and voice, so they may start to consider implementation in some specific policies and projects, and China Aluminum's project may be affected in this regard." Sha Zhengyang explained.

He didn't expect that this incident would cause such a big reaction from Cao Qingtai. He was really planning his own affairs in his position. He had to subconsciously tilt his side to wherever he was sitting.

"That won't work. I will go back and report to the i-south provincial governor of Shaotang immediately. Such a project cannot drive the overall economy of our plains. If it is placed in a certain city, it may drive the economic growth rate of a region in several years to increase by a few percentage points!" Cao Qingtai said without hesitation.

Seeing Cao Qingtai so anxious and excited, Sha Zhengyang didn't say much. At this time, he realized how important the power, resources and information held by these national ministries and committees were. It was extraordinary that a slight missed out could attract so much attention to a province. If it was placed in a city below the province, it would be even more than a thousand pounds.

"Prince i, you don't have to worry. First, China Aluminum's action may include several projects this time, and second, it is still just an intentional stage, and it is far from being finalized to finish the board." Sha Zhengyang could only comfort the other party.

"I know, but once you have an intention to do this kind of thing, you have to spend a lot of effort to get it back. If you delay it, you may be completely out of the way." Cao Qingtai still sees this kind of situation very clearly. The local government has very little influence on the central government's decision-making, and he is even more powerless. He can only connect through the main leaders of the province to see if there is any chance.

"Prince Minister, I think Pingyuan Province can actually make some preparations now. I judge that the central government may introduce a series of policies to drive economic growth in the second half of the year, especially in infrastructure construction, there will definitely be big moves. In addition, the complete relaxation of the real estate industry is on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on cement, steel, aluminum, electricity and even coal. Of course, this pulling effect may have a certain lag effect, and it may not be gradually revealed in one to two years. However, the construction period of such projects is definitely based on years, so it is necessary to prepare early." Sha Zhengyang said seriously.

Cao Qingtai thought to himself: "Zhengyang, have you mentioned your provincial leaders?"

"I mentioned it indirectly, mainly because I mentioned it to Minister You, but unfortunately he was transferred to Sinopec." Sha Zhengyang said calmly: "But after I returned to Handu, I will find an opportunity to report these views to senior officials Yunxiang. This is also the result of my observation and analysis during my time in Beijing."

"Zhengyang, I have a feeling that this large-scale enterprise working committee is not very suitable for you, because as you said, its main responsibility is to manage ideas and organize personnel teams. Although you also mentioned that you should try in some areas, it cannot change its mainstream. Your advantage lies in vision and thinking, with many vision and novelty. This is what the senior official Shaotang once said, now even the central leaders are paying attention to, so, well, I mean, if possible, the work of the Planning and Development Commission is actually very suitable for you."

Cao Qingtai speaks very slowly, "I'm afraid you haven't realized this yet. Many of your ideas have been reflected and are quite advanced and accurate. This is very precious and rare. Sometimes a foresight is enough to be worthy of many people working hard for many years, and you can't accept it!"
