The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

I have to say that Hu Qingxiang has a very strong affinity.

As soon as he saw Lin Zhiyuan's resolute attitude, he immediately changed the way he spoke, "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I came to you this time with the attitude of making friends. In fact, from another perspective, China Steel Enterprises needs Raw materials and Australia need to export iron ore. We are a natural partnership. Although there have been some minor unpleasantnesses in the past, I hope that we can all forget those unpleasant things and focus on the future..."

"Mr. Lin, I am also Chinese. Of course I hope that domestic enterprises will develop better and better. Even though I am serving foreign enterprises now, I still think about my hometown and my motherland. If I have the opportunity, I am willing to work for the enterprises of my motherland." Let’s add bricks and mortar to development.” Hu Qingxiang said a lot of high-sounding words, temporarily suppressing the contradiction.

Lin Zhiyuan also smiled.

He laughed because Mr. Hu really said one thing and did another.

He almost believed him when he said it, but what he did behind his back was worthy of being a traitor.

"I am also willing to make Mr. Hu a friend. I hope we can develop better together in the future."

The meal went relatively smoothly. Although the two parties did not discuss any substantive issues, the atmosphere was harmonious and laid the foundation for the next meeting.

Hu Qingxiang and Ouyang Long personally sent Lin Zhiyuan downstairs. After watching Lin Zhiyuan's car leave the White Swan, they returned to the building.

"Chief Editor Ouyang, I want to ask you something."

Ouyang Long smiled broadly and said, "Mr. Hu, you are too polite. If you have anything to do, just ask me."

"I want to know what kind of hobbies Mr. Lin has..." Hu Qingxiang only said this. Ouyang Long immediately understood, patted his chest and made a promise, "Mr. Hu, don't worry, I will help you find out in the shortest possible time." Come out, there is no news in eastern Guangdong that I can't find out."

"Thank you very much, Editor-in-Chief Ouyang. I heard that Editor-in-Chief Ouyang's child is considering studying abroad. If you don't dislike Australia, I can help contact a few schools."

When Ouyang Long heard this, he wanted to bow to Hu Qingxiang and thank him immediately, "Thank you so much, Mr. Hu. From now on, if Mr. Hu has anything to do, just ask him. I will not refuse if I can do it."

When Lin Zhiyuan returned to Golden Leaf Garden, it was not yet eight o'clock. Su Jin and Shen Juan were taking Asu to play games in the garden of the villa. Su Qiancheng and his godmother sat aside and watched happily.

What a picture of family harmony.

Lin Zhiyuan sat next to the two old people and said a few words with them.

Su Qiancheng was concerned about the project progress of the Yangcheng branch, while the godmother was more concerned about Lin Zhiyuan's health and didn't want him to be too busy.

After it got completely dark, Lin Zhiyuan returned to the study, locked the door, took out his cell phone, and dialed Bai Yuquan's number.

"Yuquan, please help me check the records of domestic steel companies importing Australian iron ore in the past two years. I want not only the state-owned enterprises, but also the data of some sizable private companies and local small steel companies."

Hearing what Lin Zhiyuan said, Bai Yuquan was a little embarrassed, "Zhiyuan, the statistics I have here are all the import and export data of enterprises under the Iron and Steel Industry Association. Those private enterprises and local small businesses are not within the scope of my statistics."

Bai Yuquan paused, "What do you need that data for? You have to know that those private enterprises and local small businesses, even if they import iron ore, are not very large. Compared with large state-owned enterprises, they are simply insignificant."

"This was the case in the past, but in recent years private steel companies have been developing better and better, and their scale has continued to expand. Some outstanding companies are already very good, and the demand for iron ore is also increasing. We cannot let this go. No matter. Yuquan, if you have difficulty checking this matter, you can contact the customs in the name of the Metallurgical Industry Bureau. The customs must have detailed import and export records."

If someone else had mentioned this matter, Bai Yuquan would most likely refuse, but Lin Zhiyuan demanded that Bai Yuquan would handle it no matter how troublesome it was.

"Okay, Zhiyuan, I will report to the director tomorrow. In order to obtain data from the customs, a formal document must be obtained. You'd better say hello to the director."

"Okay, I'll make a call right now."

Lin Zhiyuan changed hands and dialed Li Zhenshan's number.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and Li Zhenshan's voice came out, "Zhiyuan, I just got home, what can I do?"

"Brother, I just met a representative of an Australian mining company..." Lin Zhiyuan told him about his meeting with Hu Qingxiang tonight.

Based on Li Zhenshan's understanding of Lin Zhiyuan, he knew that his godbrother must have other ideas. Otherwise, he would not make this call specifically if he was simply having a meal with representatives of Australian mining companies.

"Brother, while talking to Hu Qingxiang, I got news that he is now strengthening contact with the leaders of many small domestic steel companies. He mentioned Pingang Steel and Jigang Steel, and I have some concerns about this." Lin Zhiyuan did not mention it. Hu Qingxiang is a commercial espionage, because Hu Qingxiang has just returned to China not long ago. This stage should be a period when he is consolidating his network of contacts in the country, and he should not have time to carry out his espionage operations.

Without conclusive evidence, you cannot make false accusations casually.

"Brother, the Steel Industry Association now includes most of the large state-owned enterprises, but it misses many local small businesses, as well as some private enterprises that have emerged in recent years. Most of these enterprises do not have their own mines, and their production raw materials are seriously rely on imported iron ore. What I worry about is that these companies may bypass the steel industry association and contact foreign mining companies alone to import iron ore. If this is the case, it will inevitably cause domestic companies to lose control of iron ore. There is competition, which is extremely detrimental to us.”

When Lin Zhiyuan said this, Li Zhenshan also paid attention to it, "Zhiyuan, what are you going to do? Those small local steel companies are managed by the local government, not to mention those private companies. The bureau has no management rights over them."

"Brother, you can't say that. Although the bureau does not have direct personnel appointment and dismissal rights over these companies, we can provide them with technical guidance within the industry. I plan to do this. The first step is to pass Yuquan We will count the amount of iron ore imported by these companies in the past few years, and then select large-scale companies based on the import quantity. The second step is to absorb these companies into the steel industry association. After that, we will use the industry association to restrict these companies and not allow them to do so. They independently import iron ore. If they want to import iron ore, they must go through the price alliance of the industry association. Only by strengthening management in this way can we have a say in the price of iron ore..." Lin Zhiyuan said a lot, Li Zhenshan thought for a moment and then agreed.

This is a critical period for him. If he can make outstanding achievements as the director of the Metallurgical Industry Bureau, he is likely to be transferred to a more important position in the second half of the year.

Moreover, this suggestion was made by Lin Zhiyuan. This godbrother's suggestion has always been proved to be very important.
