Zhu Daidong actually wanted to find a time to invite Zhou Baoning to have a meal, and he had prepared the location in advance, and now Zhou Baoning took the initiative to ask him, so he naturally would not let go of such an opportunity. Zhu Daidong asked Wu Chengke to contact Zhou Baoning's driver, and he took Wu Chengke and Du Shujun to eat at that place, and the taste was very good.

The food taste here in Kikawa pursues heavy taste, and in addition to the pursuit of deliciousness when eating fish, if it is braised in the braised taste, not everyone can accept that kind of taste.

While eating, Zhu Daidong reported to Zhou Baoning about his research during this time, and he went to more than 60 companies during this time, belonging to several major industries. Every company is very representative. For example, chemical plants, there are those that make profits but pollute the environment, those that do not pollute the environment but lose money, and those that pollute the environment and lose money in Chapter 1130 (asking for a monthly ticket). For such enterprises, Zhu Daidong believes that the city should support those enterprises that do not pollute the environment, reduce or exempt relevant fees, and provide policy support.

In addition, like the food industry, those companies that pay attention to nutrition and hygiene are now struggling, but the sales of junk food are very hot. He believes that the city should come up with a set of effective methods to encourage those enterprises that are safe in production and develop the economy, and not let honest people suffer losses. If honest people suffer losses, it is still the masses of the people who suffer in the end.

"Comrade Dai Dong, what you said is very reasonable, I will ask you to ask the city government to convene a special meeting to study a specific measure and bring it to the Standing Committee for discussion." Zhou Baoning said that the biggest difference between Zhu Daidong and Ou Puban is that Zhu Daidong does more and says less. And Obban does the opposite, saying more and doing less, and doing things unrealistically, wanting to eat a fat person in one bite, how is this possible?

"Yes." Zhu Daidong said that he had been reporting to him just now. Zhou Baoning invited him to dinner, it was definitely not just about eating. During this time, he basically didn't spend time in the office during the day, and he didn't know much about what happened to the city government. Moreover, the compound of the municipal party committee is separated from the municipal government building by three kilometers, and no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to know what happened to Zhou Baoning.

"Comrade Dai Dong, how are the enterprises in the city doing now?" Zhou Baoning asked, Zhu Daidong went down to investigate. He was not accompanied by other deputy mayors or cadres of directly subordinate organs, but only a secretary and propaganda officer, running around the city. Because of this incident, Zhong Zhaoyun also reported to him that the mayor of Muchuan City went down to investigate every day, and it took a long time. The people of Kikawa City do not say. I'm afraid that outsiders will think that Zhu Daidong was ostracized in Muchuan City.

"It's pretty much the same." Zhu Daidong said that Muchuan's state-owned enterprises have surpassed Chudu in terms of size and quantity. There are only 3,216 state-owned enterprises in the entire Chu City. When Zhu Daidong first arrived in Muchuan, nearly 600 enterprises had stopped production because of losses or bankruptcy. There are nearly 5,000 state-owned enterprises in Muchuan City, and there are more than 20 large Chinese enterprises.

"Comrade Dai Dong, do you have any opinion on the Muchuan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory? Gu Chuanxiang called me this afternoon and poured bitter water on me. Said that after you Mayor Zhu took office, he didn't care about the locomotive and rolling stock factory. Zhou Baoning said with a smile, his words were both like ridicule and reproach, how to understand it depends on personal cultivation.

"That's not true, I just think that the locomotive and rolling stock factory is a large state-owned enterprise in our city, and I don't know much about locomotives. I wanted to do more homework and then take a look, but I didn't expect Comrade Gu Chuanxiang to have an opinion. Zhu Daidong said with a smile.

"Dai Dong, some things are too pragmatic, and they may not be good things. You're only the acting mayor, but I've always treated you like the official mayor. The achievements you have made in Chudu City really make me admire. I hope that when you arrive in Kikawa City, you can let go of your baggage, don't have any worries, and let go of your hands and feet. Zhou Baoning said slowly.

"Thank you Secretary Boryeong for your support to my work, since I arrived in Muchuan City, I have regarded myself as a part of Muchuan, and I believe that Muchuan will be able to regain new vitality under your leadership." Zhu Daidong said movingly that he did have some of his own views on the next work in Muchuan City, and he had exchanged views with Zhou Baoning before, but the opinions of the two people were not very consistent, and now that Zhou Baoning can say such things, it is obvious that he is ready to make some concessions.

Zhou Baoning's stubbornness is well-known in the whole province, because of his insistence, the Ou Pu class can only be transferred away in the end, even if the Ou Pu class has the support of Lei Tongxing behind him, he has not been able to gain a firm foothold in Muchuan City. Although this has a certain relationship with the working methods and methods of the Oupu class, it is also a very important reason that the Oupu class did not convince Zhou Baoning of the development ideas of Muchuan City.

"Do you attach great importance to the Kigawa Smelter?" Zhou Baoning felt that the distance between him and Zhu Daidong had narrowed a lot because of what he said just now.

"Yes, the Kikawa Smelter is one of the largest non-ferrous metal producers in Asia, and it also has a certain influence in the global metal market. However, it is unfortunate that the Kikawa smelter has no say in the price of international metals. In particular, the indium produced at the Kikawa Smelter is basically sold as scrap, which is really pitiful. I wondered if I could use the Kigawa Smelter as a company to drive the city's economic development. Zhu Daidong said slowly, his current idea is still very mature, and he still needs to consult a lot of relevant information.

"Indium?" Zhou Baoning had obviously heard of the term for the first time, and he knew that the Muchuan smelter mainly produced zinc and lead. The annual output is calculated in 10,000 tons. But he never seemed to have heard of the production of indium. He even knows all the team leaders in the locomotive and rolling stock factory, although it has something to do with the fact that he has worked in the locomotive and rolling stock factory for nearly 20 years, but Zhou Baoning's frequent trips to the locomotive and rolling stock factory can also be seen.

"This is a non-renewable rare metal, and the world's total production is only three or four hundred tons, and the Kikawa smelter alone occupies two hundred and sixty tons, and we can completely control the price of indium in the international market." Zhu Daidong said firmly.

"But no matter what, there are only more than 200 tons in total, what benefits can it have?" Zhou Baoning said, even if the price of indium is expensive, after all, the output is there, how much economic benefit is there?

"The price of indium is calculated in kilograms, and now indium in the international market is about 200 US dollars per kilogram, that is, a pound of indium can be sold for 100 US dollars, and it will cost more than 800 yuan to exchange it for RMB." Zhu Daidong said that the price of one ton of indium is about 200,000 US dollars, while 260 tons is more than 50 million US dollars. Of course, this price is the price at which the Muchuan Smelter can directly sell to the international market, but in fact, according to Zhu Daidong's knowledge, all the products of the Muchuan Smelter, except for the most important zinc, lead, and copper, are sold by the Guò Foreign Trade Company, and the price of the Muchuan Smelter to the foreign trade company is 20,000 US dollars.

Du Zhongde, the director of the Muchuan Smelter, was proud when he introduced that a few hundred tons of indium could generate more than $5 million in foreign exchange every year. At that time, Zhu Daidong also thought it was very good, indium of more than 80 yuan a pound was much more expensive than copper. However, after learning about it, he found that the price of indium in the international market was actually 200 US dollars a kilogram, and the windfall profits of foreign trade companies reached ten times, which was even worse than grabbing money.

"Two hundred dollars? How come I've never heard of Du Zhongde? Zhou Baoning was surprised and said that the Muchuan smelter can extract 260 tons of indium from zinc ore and other ores every year, and if it can be sold for 200 US dollars a kilogram, it will be more than 50 million US dollars, and more than 400 million yuan in exchange, this alone is enough for the Muchuan smelter to earn, not to mention the main zinc and lead?

"Because the smelter is not sold directly to the international market, but is handled by a foreign trade company, and it is only twenty dollars a kilogram." Zhu Daidong sighed and said.

"Twenty dollars? What did Du Zhongde do? Zhou Baoning snorted coldly, if this money is made by the smelter, then the city should not support the smelter financially at all. More than 300 million profits are lost in vain every year, and how much was the financial revenue of Muchuan City last year? If more than 300 million yuan can be handed over to the treasury, then the financial tension in Kikawa City will not be alleviated at once.

"It may be no wonder that Comrade Du Zhongde, I also asked people to contact foreign countries directly, only to know that indium in the international market now has such a high price." Zhu Daidong said that the foreign trade company that had business dealings with the smelter on indium was Zhang Tianrui's, and the last time he came to Muchuan was to contact the smelter.

"Dai Dong, what are you going to do about this?" Zhou Baoning asked, in the final analysis, this is all corporate behavior, because of information asymmetry, it is actually very common for such a situation to occur in China. It's just that the smelter's capital is too big, and he is very moved.

"Starting next month, I want smelters to stop selling indium." Zhu Daidong said lightly.

"Stop selling?" Zhou Baoning asked puzzledly, since indium is so valuable, it has to be sold quickly, which can not only earn foreign exchange for the country, but also generate revenue for the finance, why not do it?

"Yes, not only must we stop selling, but we must also find ways to buy back as much indium as possible from other domestic indium-producing enterprises." Zhu Daidong said that in fact, with the production volume of the Muchuan smelter, it can completely affect the price in the international market. But what Zhu Daidong planned was not just to make money, but to take this opportunity to let the entire Muchuan City take this ride. (To be continued)!!
