The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

After entering the 21st century, my country's infrastructure industry has grown rapidly. The problem of limited domestic iron ore resources and low quality has gradually become apparent. The demand for iron ore imports has increased day by day. In 2003, China became the world's largest iron ore importer. From then on, China Steel decided to join the world iron ore price negotiations.

China's negotiations with Samba went very smoothly, and an agreement was quickly reached. However, during the negotiations with Australia, there were many obstacles. China found that all its data was known to Australia, and it was like a naked person. A person wearing clothes has all his weaknesses exposed in front of his opponent.

During the negotiation process, there will always be abnormal situations in the domestic steel industry that interfere with negotiations. For example, in 2008, China's domestically produced iron ore increased by 25%. After meeting the needs of blast furnace production growth of 8.4%, there was still a surplus.But in this case, China Steel still imported 3100 million tons more iron ore, creating false demand for iron ore in China, interfering with the iron ore price negotiations between China and Australia, and causing China's negotiations to fail.

In the end, China had to bear the continuous rise in the price of imported iron ore. Between 2004 and 2008, the long-term contract price of iron ore rose by as much as 96.5%!

The successive abnormal rises in iron ore prices have finally aroused China's vigilance: Why do our data opponents know this?Who is leaking the secret?

Eventually, we discovered that economic spies had stolen production data from our major steel plants.

This spy was also born in China. Later he went abroad and came to Australia and became an employee of an iron ore company.

This spy aimed his blade at China, visited various steel plants in China, made connections with all the people he could, and invited them to have drinks and meals at high-end restaurants.Whether it is large factories such as Yanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. or Shanghai Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., or unknown steel mills in small cities, their executives have become guests of this spy.

To the middle and high-level personnel of these steel plants, the spy was extremely generous.Of course, famous cigarettes and wines were not a problem, and the private red envelopes were also extremely generous. It was even said that in order to entertain the heads of these steel mills, the spy even hired a famous female singer to sing at a high price.

During the interaction, he learned about the relevant operating conditions of the steel mill, such as the average cost of imported ore, the specific arrangements for the company's production, and the purchase plan within a fixed time period...

All the core secrets of these steel plants were known to this spy, which ultimately led to China's failure in negotiations.

In addition to using various illegal means to steal China's business intelligence and the bottom line of iron ore price negotiations, this spy is also suspected of "eating both ends."That is, while paying bribes in exchange for information, they also collect bribes.Accepting bribes from small steel companies to help them obtain more iron ore import quotas.In the past few years, he has owned more than one or two luxury villas worth over [-] million yuan.

On July 2009, 7, four people led by this spy were arrested in Shanghai on suspicion of stealing China's state secrets.

The espionage case directed by this spy has finally come to an end. Because of this spy, Shenzhou Steel Co., Ltd. was forced to pay a heavy price of more than 7000 billion yuan in the almost blackmail price of imported iron ore, which is equivalent to Australia. 10% of gdp.

Since Lin Zhiyuan was reborn, of course he wanted to prevent these tragedies from happening.

In front of these bosses, he pretended to be a foreign economic spy and vividly performed a spy movie for everyone present.

"Mr. Wan, suppose I am now an employee of a foreign iron ore raw material supplier, and I go to visit you and treat you to a casual meal. You won't be wary, right?"

Wan Kaijie nodded. This kind of thing was common to him and not surprising.

"During the meal, I seemed to have accidentally talked to you about Yan Iron and Steel's production targets and steel output this year. You wouldn't be alert, right?"

Wan Kaijie nodded again.If he hadn't heard Lin Zhiyuan talk about it today, he would never have imagined that the data of his own company was so important that it was worth stealing by spies?

"Okay, so I can basically know how much iron ore Yanshan Iron and Steel needs in a year. Next, I will visit the CEOs of other steel companies and follow the same method. As long as you give me a little time, I can make China's largest steel company By walking around, I can basically understand the country’s annual steel production and raw material demand.”

"I know all your data. If you come to negotiate with me again, will you win? It's not like I can raise the price as much as I say, because you no longer have a trump card."

Lin Zhiyuan's words made all the bosses break into cold sweat.The various production index data that they have ignored in the past can be of such great use. It is really unexpected. It seems that confidentiality is indeed very important!This must be taken seriously in the future.

Next, Director Liu made a brilliant appearance and gave a wonderful confidentiality lesson to all business leaders.

Before I knew it, the two-week training course was over, and everyone was happy with the final exam.

In order to take care of many old comrades, the exam questions were very simple and everyone passed the test.

Xia Pengchi gave a speech at the graduation ceremony, "The training class is over, but the return of our country's metallurgical industry to its glory has just begun. I hope that all business leaders can use the knowledge they have learned in business management after they return, so that our companies can We must turn losses into profits as soon as possible to make life better for our employees.”

The end of the training course was also the day when the China Steel Industry Association was established.

More than a dozen steel companies present all joined the Steel Industry Association, which elected its first president Xia Pengchi and executive vice president Li Zhenshan.

Everyone knew that Xia Pengchi was the president in name only, and the operation of the industry association depended on Li Zhenshan.

The reason why Li Zhenshan was elected as the executive vice president is firstly because Legang has made great contributions over the years. Which of the steel companies present has not received assistance from Legang?Secondly, because Legang has indeed made real achievements in recent years. Li Zhenshan has been in Legang for four years and has made a wonderful turnaround. Everyone is convinced of this, even Hai Gangqing, who has always been harsh on others. He is also sincerely convinced of Lesteel's foreign trade orders of more than 1 million a year.

The industry association also elected three vice presidents, who are naturally the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings, Hai Gangqing, Jin Huaying, and Wan Kaijie.

The industry association also elected a secretary-general, Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan's election was highly anticipated.During the two-week training course, Lin Zhiyuan demonstrated to the bosses his solid professional foundation, forward-thinking vision and meticulous management methods.

Even a picky person like Hai Gangqing said this in public, "This secretary-general must be Teacher Lin. I don't trust anyone else."

Teacher Lin took office.The secretary-general of an industry association has a heavy responsibility. He has to coordinate the relationships between member units, arrange activities, and formulate plans, which is really beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

However, there are many benefits. The most obvious one is that he can take this opportunity to have more contact with boss-level figures and further expand his network of contacts.
