The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

As soon as Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Jin Huaying's cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and smiled, "This man can't help but say, talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is here."

Jin Huaying answered the phone, "Lao Guan, are you done over there? Come over here quickly. You can't eat, so come over and have a cup of tea!"

In a short time, Guan Jianye arrived.

Hansteel is the organizer of this industry association event, and Guan Jianye is the host. He stayed at the guest house and invited the CEOs of the companies who arrived first to have dinner.

After eating, he hurried here.

The two bosses of the Four Heavenly Kings were both present. It was a rare opportunity, so Lin Zhiyuan said what he just said again.

Guan Jianye had been Jin Huaying's deputy before. The two had worked together for many years, and he was pretty much just following Jin Huaying's advice.

Now that Jin Huaying has given up the opportunity to set up factories overseas, Guan Jianye immediately said that Hansteel is now in a critical period of equipment upgrading and cannot afford so much money.

Two of the Four Kings have made it clear that they will not participate in setting up factories overseas, which is exactly what Lin Zhiyuan expected.

Now only Hugang and Yanzhong are left.

The next day, Hai Gangqing from Shanghai Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Wan Kaijie from Yanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. both arrived.

Lin Zhiyuan, the secretary-general of the industry association, also became busy.

He took the opportunity of the visit to have a private chat with Wan Kaijie.

When Wan Kaijie heard that there was an additional item in this industry association meeting, which was to cooperate with overseas Chinese businessmen and open a new factory in Nanyang, his head shook like a rattle.

"Zhiyuan, our Yanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is incomparable to your Leather Steel Group. In the past two years, the efficiency has been declining again and again. I can't afford even two to three billion yuan, let alone two to three billion. If I have that money, I will renovate a factory and give more money to the workers." How about a bonus?"

Lin Zhiyuan was secretly happy. Everything was as he expected, and Yan Gang took the initiative to withdraw.

Now only Hugang is left.

During lunch, he met Hai Gangqing in the restaurant of the guest house.

Lin Zhiyuan sat next to Hai Gangqing with a dinner plate.

Hai Gangqing was a little surprised and looked around, "Secretary-General Lin, the sun is rising from the west today. Why are you sitting next to me?"

"Mr. Hai, look at what you said, can't I ask the seniors for more advice?" Lin Zhiyuan said cheerfully and sat down, "Mr. Hai, congratulations. I heard that Hugang's products are very popular overseas. , your output value is estimated to hit a new high this year, right?"

Hai Gangqing still had the same half-dead look on his face. He smiled sinisterly at Lin Zhiyuan, "Secretary-General Lin, apart from you, whoever says this to me in this restaurant, I know for sure. You are the only one..."

Hai Gangqing smiled and shook his head, "What Hugang did today are all leftovers from leather steel. I really don't have anything to be proud of in front of you. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Since Hai Gangqing asked, Lin Zhiyuan stopped beating around the bush, "Mr. Hai, this industry association event has added an issue..."

Lin Zhiyuan told the story about the Zhang family, while he carefully observed the changes in Hai Gangqing's expression.

When Hai Gangqing heard that the Zhang family was investing money to build a new steel plant in Yinni, he raised his eyebrows and seemed to be heartbroken.

"Mr. Hai, Minister Li asked me to say hello to you in advance to avoid being unprepared during the meeting. I wonder what Mr. Hai thinks of this matter?"

Hai Gangqing put down his chopsticks, thought about it seriously, and suddenly looked up at Lin Zhiyuan, "What are your plans at Le Gang?"

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head, "Mr. Jin had some ideas at first, but gave up after calculating the costs. Setting up a factory overseas is too risky, and the initial investment will be at least 20 billion. If you include various expenses during the construction period, Even 30 billion can’t stop it, Le Gang doesn’t have that much money.”

Hai Gangqing came from a financial background, and settling accounts was his specialty. He only needed a simple estimate to know that Lin Zhiyuan was telling the truth.

"Three billion is indeed a bit too much. This opportunity is rare..." Hai Gangqing mused, and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Zhiyuan, I almost fell into your trap. If it's like what you said, this thing The matter is pressured by the top management. Money should not be a problem. If there is not enough money, some countries will find ways to give you loans. Tell me the truth. What do you think of leather steel? You came to me to talk about this matter this time. , you won’t let me give up in spite of the difficulties!”

This Hai Gangqing is really hard to fool, he is very vigilant, and his professional level is also first-rate. It is really not that easy to convince him.

"Mr. Hai, I swear to God, we, Le Gang, will definitely not participate this time. You will know after the meeting in two days."

Hai Gangqing looked at Lin Zhiyuan suspiciously, "Something's wrong! Although the initial investment in this matter is indeed very large, once the steel plant is completed, the entire Nanyang region will become your market. You must know that Nanyang is not large-scale. From the steel factory, Secretary-General Lin is willing to give up such a big piece of fat?"

"Mr. Hai, it is too risky to build a factory overseas. If there is a problem in any link, the entire investment may be in vain..." Lin Zhiyuan continued to explain, "Legang has just turned around in the past two years and cannot withstand any Failure, and I have been to Nanyang in the first half of this year, and the economic situation there is not optimistic. The US dollar has appreciated, exports have decreased, financial chaos has occurred, and land prices have soared. I dare to assert that within a year, there will definitely be a very large-scale round in Nanyang. In the current economic crisis, if we build a factory in Nanyang at this time, we will definitely lose all our money, and we will not see any profit for at least five years, five years! Leather Steel cannot afford to wait."

Although Hai Gangqing has an eccentric temperament, he is never ambiguous on professional issues, and what Lin Zhiyuan tells is the truth. With a little inquiry, the authenticity can be verified.

"Okay, thank you, Secretary-General Lin. I will think about this issue seriously."

Hai Gangqing had at least half believed it.

******

On the third day in Jianghan, the activities of the industry association officially began.

There are many topics in this event, including three.

The first one is the iron ore price issue that Shanghai Iron and Steel is most concerned about. This proposal was easily passed by all.

All steel companies under the China Iron and Steel Industry Association must stay in step on the issue of imported iron ore in the future, and at the same time keep prices confidential, and must not allow foreigners to exploit our loopholes and take advantage of us.

In fact, despite the fact that there were more than a dozen steel companies on the scene, in the mid-90s, the only one with demand for iron ore was Shanghai Iron and Steel.

The remaining ones are either too small in scale or have their own mines and are not interested in iron ore pricing at all. However, the industry association requires everyone to advance and retreat together, just like the export price alliance established at the last event. Most of the steel company CEOs came , just raise your hand.

The second topic was jointly proposed by Lu Tiesheng of Cao Steel and several steel executives from Jiugang and Pan Iron and Steel, requiring large-scale domestic steel companies to provide paid technical support to small and medium-sized companies.

There is nothing to say about this proposal.If a small steel mill wants to upgrade its equipment, there are only two ways out. One is to buy it abroad, and the other is to buy it domestically.

Foreign equipment is definitely expensive, which has put considerable economic pressure on these small steel companies. However, large steel companies have completed equipment upgrades and transformations before, have accumulated considerable experience in many aspects, and have made certain innovations. Capability, if these large steel companies are willing to lend a helping hand, it will undoubtedly be the most cost-effective for small steel companies.

Large steel companies are also very willing to help these small steel companies, because it is paid, and they can also get part of the income from it, so why not?
