Chapter 1065 Transfer
"Come on! Let's have a drink first!" Shao Heping poured two glasses of wine, picked up one of them and smiled at Song Yuanchao.
Song Yuanchao picked up another glass of wine with a smile, clinked it with Shao Heping, and they both drank it in one gulp.
After finishing a glass of wine, Shao Heping didn't continue drinking and asked Song Yuanchao to fill his stomach first.
Song Yuanchao was not polite. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The food he had eaten at noon had long been digested. He was indeed hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The two of them ate and talked, and after about ten minutes, when they were about five-tenths full, they put down their chopsticks, lit a cigarette, and continued to chat and laugh.
"Brother Shao, why are you coming to Shanghai this time...?"
"I was passing by Shanghai and came to see you." Shao Heping explained. Song Yuanchao smiled and raised the glass in front of him to express his gratitude, and drank another glass with Shao Heping.
Putting down his wine glass, Shao Heping said, "My job has been transferred. This time I will only stay in Shanghai for one night. I will take a flight to southern Hunan tomorrow morning."
"Shoonan? Are you going there this time...?"
"The third in command, being appointed as deputy secretary, is a step forward."
"Congratulations! Come on, Brother Shao, I'll toast you another glass!" This is indeed a good thing. Shao Heping has worked in Qiongdao for many years, from the second in command of Lucheng to the top in later years. He made another step forward when he went to the province a few years ago. However, the situation in Qiongdao is too complicated. Coupled with the previous collapse of Qiongdao real estate and investment banks, although Shao Heping was not involved, he was also affected.
If it weren't for what happened back then, Shao Heping would have been promoted long ago with his political achievements and abilities. Otherwise, how could he have only moved up one step in all these years? Song Yuanchao and Lin Daoyuan knew this, but they couldn't help him.
Shao Heping is much older than Song Yuanchao. He will be sixty in two years. If he fails to take this step, he will not have another chance. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came at the last minute. This time, Shao Heping was transferred from Qiongdao to Xiangnan. Although he is the third in command, he has moved up one level. If he takes this step steadily, he will have a great chance to be promoted in a few years.
Although Shao Heping said it calmly, the smile on his lips showed that he was very satisfied with this transfer.
After clinking glasses with Song Yuanchao, Shao Heping drank another glass without hesitation, then put down his glass and said with emotion: "Thanks to your help and reminder back then, otherwise, let alone today, I'm afraid I would have..."
"Brother Shao, can we still have a pleasant chat? Why are you bringing up such old things so long ago?" Song Yuanchao said with a serious face. Shao Heping was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. He patted Song Yuanchao's shoulder hard, shook his head, and cursed with a smile.
"Let's not talk about the past. You remember it in your heart." Shao Heping said this with a double meaning, and then continued: "I am happy that I have been transferred to a higher level this time. It is also worth celebrating that I have left the troubled Qiong Island."
"What do you mean?"
"Ah..." Shao Heping sighed and said to Song Yuanchao, "There have been too many troubles on Qiongdao in the past two years. The previous troubles seem to have been resolved, but the hidden problems are still there. I understand some situations, but I am powerless to do anything if I am not in the position to do so."
"In addition, the national real estate market is starting to pick up again, and Qiongdao is following suit. Since the year before last, real estate projects have popped up one after another in Qiongdao , and housing prices have continued to rise. You know, I am a timid person, and I was frightened that year. Seeing this scene is really frightening. I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that if this continues, what happened that year will happen again. I managed to avoid it last time, but if it happens again this time, I will not be able to avoid it no matter what. It just so happens that I have this opportunity to be transferred, and I can't wait to leave as soon as possible."
Song Yuanchao nodded. Shao Heping's worries were not without reason. How long had it been since the incident on Qiongdao? It took a lot of effort to clean up the mess in the past few years. But now, with the nationwide real estate boom rising again, Qiongdao had another incident. It would be strange if Shao Heping was not worried.
But Song Yuanchao knew clearly that things are different now than they were back then. As time went by, the country's development was now on the fast track and all walks of life were no longer what they were before. In other words, not only the country but also individuals had money in their pockets.
As people become richer, they naturally have other pursuits. In addition, the Chinese people have a natural desire for land and real estate, so buying a house is also the first demand of many people. In addition, there are those who have become rich and don’t know where to invest their money. In order to maintain value and pursue wealth growth, they naturally invest this money in real estate.
Coupled with the rigid assessment of local GDP growth, selling land and engaging in real estate will produce results faster than ordinary enterprises. The same is true for the banking industry. Large amounts of funds always need a place to go. Compared with high-risk enterprises, investing in real estate has become a first choice.
Compared with the previous real estate boom in Qiongdao, this return of the real estate boom is different. First of all, the adjustment of policies and the filling of many loopholes have made it difficult to make profits by simply speculating on land or pre-sale properties. In addition, banks are strict about lending, and the real estate industry is much more regulated in comparison. Therefore, although Shao Heping's concerns are not wrong, in the short term, at least in the next ten years, the overall situation will not be bad.
Shenghua also does real estate, but Shenghua's real estate investment is very solid, and it has not expanded as recklessly as some companies. This is mainly because Song Yuanchao has considered some drawbacks of future real estate development and made investment arrangements in advance.
From this point of view, Shenghua's real estate investment tends to be conservative. Even within Shenghua, many people expressed opposition to Song Yuanchao's approach, because they could obviously take advantage of this favorable situation to gain greater benefits from this industry, but they chose to do so, which was really a missed opportunity.
However, Song Yuanchao didn't care about these things, he still carried out the work step by step. So he could understand Shao Heping's thoughts, and it was normal for Shao Heping to think so.
But Song Yuanchao also reminded Shao Heping that the assessment requirements for local GDP have been very high in recent years. In addition, with the development and support of the real estate industry by banks, the real estate boom is now very serious not only in Qiongdao, but also throughout the country.
Even if Shao Heping left Qiongdao and went to work in southern Hunan, the situation there was not optimistic. If Shao Heping wanted to make achievements in the local area, he had to have something to show for it, and GDP data was the best reflection of this. To achieve this goal, real estate was the best shortcut.
Shao Heping nodded with a heavy expression, indicating that what Song Yuanchao reminded him was correct and the current situation was indeed like this. He had already learned about the situation from the side. It was precisely because of this that he could have flown directly to southern Hunan, but he deliberately stayed in Shanghai for one night just to meet with Song Yuanchao and have a good chat.
However, this time Song Chaoyuan was going to disappoint Shao Heping. If it was twenty years ago, Song Yuanchao could have given Shao Heping some advice, or thought of some other ways. But now is not the early years, the period of rapid development has passed. In simple terms, in the process of transition from planned economy to market economy, there are not many opportunities for barbaric development. The development of various industries has reached a bottleneck stage. Most of the upstream resources and technologies are controlled by Western developed countries. Most of the domestic enterprises rely on the demographic dividend and processing industry to survive. It is difficult to determine the key things of an industry without own hands.
This is one of the reasons why the real estate boom is rising now. The first batch of rich people have encountered bottlenecks in the development of their own businesses and it is difficult to make a breakthrough. It is not so easy to change careers. Looking at the market, many cutting-edge things are not in your hands. If you only do downstream business, it is difficult to predict the benefits and prospects.
In this case, the extra funds have to be invested somewhere, so real estate becomes their best choice. This situation is also very helpless. Not only does it affect most companies, but even Shenghua itself has such an impact. Fortunately, Song Yuanchao made arrangements in advance and has a lot of his own technologies and patents in the communication equipment industry and the electronics industry, which is much better than other companies.
In addition, there are fast-moving consumer goods companies such as Si Te and Nandu. Compared with cutting-edge industries, fast-moving consumer goods companies have a large audience and a relatively stable consumer group, which is the real reason why Song Yuanchao pays special attention to these two companies.
As for other industries, to be honest , the future prospects are not very good. Song Yuanchao has begun to gradually cut back and transform enterprises in order to face the future industry depression.
"Aid Korea? Is there no other way?" Shao Heping asked worriedly.
Song Chaoyuan thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Brother Shao, if you had gone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang instead of southern Hunan, it might have been much better. At least these two provinces have a solid industrial and private enterprise foundation, and a good geographical location. Not only are they close to Shanghai, they also have several good export ports, plus convenient transportation. If the top leaders support it, there is still a chance if we can think of ways to quickly transform the enterprises in the province, or focus on supporting a few promising enterprises."
"But Brother Shao, you are going to southern Hunan this time! I think you know the situation in southern Hunan better than I do. Do you think things that are difficult to do in coastal provinces can be solved there? It's difficult!"
Shao Heping frowned. He admitted that what Song Yuanchao said made sense. He was aware of the situation in southern Hunan. Just as Song Yuanchao said, the foundation was weak and there were no other advantages. It would not be easy to break the situation there.
"I understand what you said, but I still want to try it anyway. I'm not young anymore, and no one knows if I can continue after this term."
"Brother Shao, I understand your idea. How about this, just like before, you go first, and after you go, I will find a time to visit you and investigate the local situation?"
"Okay! I've been waiting for you to say that." Upon hearing Song Yuanchao let go, Shao Heping was overjoyed. He picked up the wine and filled it up for himself, then toasted Song Yuanchao with both hands.
Putting down the wine glass, Shao Heping said, "I'll leave this matter to you. Whether it succeeds or not, I thank you, brother!"
"Look at what you said. Do we need to say thank you for our relationship?" Song Yuanchao waved his hand and said seriously, "But Brother Shao, you can't be impatient about this matter. You have to wait for me to find time. Sir had some trouble before, and this matter has not been resolved yet. But now it's almost over. How about a month? I'll call you around this time next month?"
