Chapter 1961 Feeling Uncomfortable

Sun Hai looked back at Liu Fusheng in surprise. He didn't expect that Hai Changchun, this old fox, could actually come up with a way to issue bonds. If the two agreed, Hai Changchun would go with the flow and donate a symbolic few million to get away with it.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Chairman Hai's idea is indeed good, but the approval procedures for issuing government bonds are very complicated, especially for a local government like ours. We can't issue bonds indiscriminately."

Sun Hai pretended to be hesitant and said: "Under the current situation, it is too difficult to raise funds. Issuing bonds is indeed a solution."

Liu Fusheng pondered and said, "After Chairman Hai's inspiration, I suddenly came up with a better idea - public-private partnership, allowing enterprises and the government to build roads and railways together."

"Public-private partnership?" Hai Changchun didn't understand what they were up to.

Liu Fusheng said: "It is funded by a powerful private enterprise. After completion, the government leases the highway operation rights to this company. All the income generated by the highway operation naturally belongs to this company. When the operation reaches a certain number of years and the company recovers the money and makes a profit, the contract expires and the government takes back the highway operation rights."

"In this way, the company can make money, the government can also do a good job of the project and promote local economic development. Isn't it mutually beneficial?"

Hai Changchun thought for a moment and his eyes lit up slightly. It sounded like this matter would have great benefits.

The highway and railway connect Jiyang City and Jiangtou City. If the smuggled goods from Hai Changchun can be transported through this highway and railway, it will definitely reduce a lot of risks and even allow them to be quickly shipped to all parts of the country.

In other words, once he gained control of the highway operation rights, he would be controlling the lifeline of transportation that ran across the Chaojiang area.

Also, if he agreed to build the road, Liu Fusheng and Sun Hai would definitely give up investigating Sino-Ocean International, and the so-called 100-day crackdown would definitely not continue.

After thinking for a moment, Hai Changchun took a deep breath and was about to open his mouth to speak.

At this time, Zhou Xiaozhe knocked on the door and walked in and said, "Secretary Liu, Mayor Gu, and Chairman Yin of Hengtong Group have arrived in the small conference room."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Let them wait for a moment. I have a few words to say and will be right there after I'm done."

After Zhou Xiaozhe left, Liu Fusheng smiled apologetically at Hai Changchun and Sun Hai and said, "I'm sorry, I was so engrossed in the conversation just now that I forgot that I had other work arrangements later. Let's settle this matter first... Chairman Hai will go back to prepare, and then Secretary Sun will send someone to enter the internal of Sino-Ocean International Group to investigate the smuggling clues."

Hai Changchun said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Secretary Liu, I have some ideas about public-private partnerships and investing in roads and railways!"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Chairman Hai doesn't have to worry about this matter."

While speaking, Liu Fusheng had already stood up.

Sun Hai and Hai Changchun naturally could not say anything more and had to leave the meeting room together.

Liu Fusheng used practical actions to dispel the last bit of worry in Hai Changchun's heart. Otherwise, he would have thought that Liu Fusheng and Sun Hai were setting a trap for him and wanted him to invest in the highway project.

Unexpectedly, these two bastards had no intention of taking him to play with them!

After walking out of the municipal party committee building, Hai Changchun quickly caught up with Sun Hai and said, "Secretary Sun, we are all going back to Jiangtou City. If it's convenient for you, come to my car and have a chat?"

Sun Hai laughed and said, "Okay, I also have something to discuss with Chairman Hai. I want to send people to your company. I plan to send 100 people in the early stage. Should that be okay?"

One hundred people?

When Hai Changchun heard this number, he almost cursed.

Do you want to take over Sino-Ocean International Group? You sent so many people at once, obviously you want to investigate my company thoroughly!

Hai Changchun gritted his teeth and said, "Secretary Sun, let's talk in the car!"

After they all got into Shanghai Changchun's luxury business car, Hai Changchun asked tentatively: "Secretary Sun, Secretary Liu just said that he wanted public-private partnership. You should know something about that, right?"

Sun Hai smiled and said, "I did hear some rumors, but Secretary Liu entrusted this matter to Mayor Gu. It has nothing to do with me, and I haven't asked about the inside story."

Entrust it to Gu Hongcheng?

Hai Changchun clearly remembered that when Zhou Xiaozhe was reporting to Liu Fusheng just now, he mentioned Gu Hongcheng and Yin Daheng. So the object of the public-private partnership that Liu Fusheng wanted was Hengtong Group?

No wonder when Liu Fusheng heard that Yin Daheng had arrived, he didn't even bother to say anything and just turned around and left.

He regards Hengtong Group as the God of Wealth!

Hai Changchun knew the strength of Hengtong Group, but the two parties were not in the same place, so there were not many opportunities for them to deal with each other.

If the public-private partnership fell into Yin Daheng's hands, Hai Changchun would be in a passive position.

After a brief thought, Hai Changchun said directly: "Secretary Sun, in fact, Hengtong Group is not suitable for public-private partnership with Chaojiang Municipal Government to build roads and railways."

Sun Hai laughed in his heart, but asked calmly on the surface: "Where did you get this from?"

Hai Changchun said: "Secretary Sun is a politician and doesn't know the gossip in the business world. In fact, Hengtong Group's debt ratio is very high. It can be said that the money in Yin Daheng's hands is all loans from banks. This kind of company can't even pass the most basic risk assessment. If the Chaojiang Municipal Government bets on him, once their capital chain breaks, the operating rights of the highways and railways will definitely be mortgaged to a third party. At that time, operational chaos will be a small matter, and the reputation of our Chaojiang area will also be damaged. It's not worth it just to think about it!"

After hearing what Hai Changchun said, Sun Hai's expression became a little serious: "Chairman Hai, is what you said true?"

Hai Changchun smiled and said, "Do I need to lie to you about this? If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate the operation status and reputation of Hengtong Group. At your level, there are many things they can't hide."

Sun Hai nodded and said, "This news is very important. I will call Secretary Liu later and ask him to carefully investigate the details of Hengtong Group... But if Yin Daheng is not able to do it, this matter will be difficult to handle."

Hai Changchun smiled and said, "How could that be? There are still many companies that can work together with the government!"

Before he could finish his words, Sun Hai, who was sitting opposite him, was already talking to himself: "Hengtong Group is very large. Secretary Liu's idea is to take advantage of the opportunity of investing in roads and railways to bring them to Chaojiang, promote the economic development of the three cities in Chaojiang, develop real estate, and boost GDP."

"If Hengtong Group is not available, then which of these more familiar companies, Lv's Jade, Sihai Group, or Fuyun Network, should we choose?"

Sun Hai's words made Hai Changchun feel extremely uncomfortable.
