The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Yangcheng Songyuan Hotel is the reception hotel designated by the Guangdong Provincial Committee.

Knowing that the Iron and Steel Association was meeting in Yangcheng, Governor Tan Guangwen hosted a banquet for Li Zhenshan and the CEOs of eight other steel companies at the Songyuan Hotel.

At the dinner, Tan Guangwen was chatting and laughing, "Everyone here is the CEO of a large steel company in their respective places. Normally, you are distinguished guests who cannot be invited. Today we are able to gather in Yangcheng. On behalf of East Guangdong, I welcome you."

Everyone knows Tan Guangwen's family background clearly. He can host banquets and entertain everyone, and everyone feels proud.

Today's banquet is all about Eastern Guangdong. Cantonese cuisine is originally based on seafood, and the chef of Songyuan Hotel is a top-notch chef. Today's banquet is comparable to a state banquet.

Naturally, the conversation in this situation is about national affairs. Tan Guangwen mainly conducted in-depth exchanges with entrepreneurs on issues such as the economic development strategy, industrial upgrading, and environmental protection policies of Eastern Guangdong Province.

Tan Guangwen and Li Zhenshan had a good personal relationship, so they both drank a few more drinks.

After the banquet, Tan Guangwen took the initiative to invite Li Zhenshan to drink tea upstairs.

Several other bosses took the initiative and consciously went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Zhiyuan also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Tan Guangwen, "Zhiyuan, you come up too, I also want to ask some questions about the Yangcheng branch."

Lin Zhiyuan followed the two of them upstairs and entered the room.

After the waiter made the tea, he bowed and left automatically, leaving only the three of them in the room.

Tan Guangwen took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Zhenshan, are you still adaptable to your new position?"

He was talking about the reorganization of the Ministry of Metallurgy into the Bureau of Metallurgical Industry.

"It's not bad. I still do the same job as before, and I'm also in charge of a metallurgical company."

"Brother Zhenshan, I heard some rumors..." Tan Guangwen only said half of what he said.

Li Zhenshan understood immediately, "Governor Guangwen, are you referring to the establishment of the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee? There have been rumors in the ministries recently."

As soon as he heard that the two of them were talking about such a topic, Lin Zhiyuan wanted to leave.

Tan Guangwen noticed Lin Zhiyuan's fidgeting, turned around with a smile and said, "I didn't intend to hide it from you when I asked you to come up. Listen carefully."

Lin Zhiyuan could only sit there honestly.

Tan Guangwen went on to say, "The State-owned Assets Administration Bureau was officially abolished in March, which was actually preparing for the establishment of the Central Large Enterprise Working Committee. In the past, the State-owned Assets Administration Bureau has been under the management of the Ministry of Finance, but now the higher-ups are increasingly recognizing that large enterprises importance, so we decided to abolish the Bureau Construction Committee. From now on, this agency will be directly under the leadership of the Government Affairs Council, and its specifications are much higher than the original State-owned Assets Administration."

Hearing Tan Guangwen's solemn introduction, Li Zhenshan's heart moved.

Could it be that the Tan family intends to promote themselves to the top?

But Tan Guangwen only said this, and suddenly started talking about something else, "Brother Zhenshan, you have worked at Le Gang for five years, right? Have you been in the ministry for three years?"

"Yes, I work in state-owned enterprises most of the time. Even in the ministry, I serve state-owned enterprises." Li Zhenshan understood what Tan Guangwen meant and was overjoyed.

"Brother Zhenshan's work experience in this area is of course needless to say. The functions and powers of the working committee of large enterprises are too great. As far as I know, many people are eyeing this position. The petroleum system and the electric power system have been busy recently. You are very diligent, brother Zhenshan, the time is very short, you need to make some outstanding results."

Tan Guangwen glanced at Lin Zhiyuan, who was sitting calmly, "Zhiyuan, I heard that the foreign exchange our country spends on importing iron ore every year is not a small amount! If you can use this negotiation to get the iron ore The price is definitely a great achievement.”

Lin Zhiyuan understood it, "This is my job, but I don't have any credit. It's all the leadership's direction."

Tan Guangwen stared at Lin Zhixing for half a minute, "What a pity, if it weren't for the Yangcheng Branch project..."

Leaders may be used to not finishing their words, but Li Zhenshan already understood what Tan Guangwen meant.

Why didn't he want to transfer Lin Zhiyuan to his side?

With Lin Zhiyuan's ability, he will definitely be able to help him do his new job well. It's just that the Yangcheng Branch invested too much money in this project, and now the commander-in-chief is changed before the project is put into production. Wouldn't it be child's play?

On April 21, Costa’s private plane landed at Yangcheng Airport.

When Costa walked out of the cabin door and saw the scene in front of him, the old handsome guy was shocked.

Two old acquaintances, Lin Zhiyuan and Hai Gangqing, stood on the runway. A welcoming team composed of fifty Yangcheng branch employees held up flowers and ribbons to welcome him.

The TV reporter was holding a camera and recording.

Costa is a very rich man and enjoys the best services all over the world, but this is the first time he has seen a welcome scene like this.

This made the old handsome guy really flattered.

After Costa walked down the gangway, he was the first to shake hands with Lin Zhiyuan, "Lin, isn't this scene a bit too big?"

"Mr. Costa, you are a friend of the Chinese people, and we welcome you very much."

A warm current flowed through Costa's heart.

How did he know that Lin Zhiyuan made such a big scene just for the Australian mining companies to watch.

Did you see that, we have a very good relationship with Vale now. If you don’t pay attention to our Shenzhou Steel Company, all our iron ore raw materials will be imported from Samba in the future.

After the welcome ceremony, Lin Zhiyuan and Hai Gangqing personally sent him back to the hotel where he was staying.

In the evening, Li Zhenshan came forward and hosted a banquet for Costa and his entourage.

Before arriving, Costa also did some research. He knew that Li Zhenshan was the highest official in charge of China's metallurgical enterprises. It was a great honor to have such a high-ranking official come out to entertain him.

Costa is more confident about his visit to China this time.

At the banquet, Costa frequently raised his glass and said, "Director Li, thank you for your warm hospitality. I hope that Vale and China's steel companies can cooperate more closely in the future."

Li Zhenshan raised his glass and responded, "Mr. Costa, this is also our wish. I hope you can spend a pleasant time in China."

Negotiations between Vale and the steel industry association began after a day's rest.

The expected scene of mutual disagreement did not occur.

One of the two parties wants to buy, the other wants to buy, and both have strong intentions.

China Steel is eager to get rid of the constraints of Australian iron ore, which is rising year by year, and Vale is also eager to rely on China Steel to boost its production.

Therefore, the two parties hit it off and reached an import agreement for 50 million tons of iron ore at the price negotiated last time, with the price per ton set at US$18.

The entire negotiation process took only two days, and the speed was beyond everyone's expectations.

After hearing this result, Li Zhenshan let out a sigh of relief.

In the 10s, the international price of iron ore has been fluctuating around 200 US dollars per ton. After , China imported more and more iron ore, causing the price of iron ore to start to soar, reaching as high as The price has doubled over US dollars per ton, which has brought huge cost consumption to China Steel Enterprises, spending an additional billion US dollars on iron ore every year. After the new century, the price of iron ore even soared to US$ per ton.

The conclusion of this agreement has greatly reduced the costs of domestic steel companies and severely hit back those Australian mining companies that have been increasing prices.

From another perspective, this matter was accomplished by Li Zhenshan when he was the director of the Metallurgical Industry Bureau. This is an unshakable political achievement.
