Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 742: Industrial Survey: Such a common special steel is 100% dependent on imports?

Nanshan Special Steel is not slow in its movements.

Procrastination in this kind of thing is detrimental to the acquisition.

Anyway, Nanshan Special Steel did not expect to excessively lower the price by prolonging the negotiation time.

As a listed company, Shaogang's market value has certain reference significance.

A direct acquisition plan with a 10% premium would not be short of several hundred million yuan.

As a listed company that is about to add "st", Shaogang, which is losing money, does not have much bargaining chips.

Not to mention the CEO of Shaogang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and other related personnel, all of them have been taken care of by Xie Lingyun.

Nanshan Special Steel has also had a lot of cooperation with Shaogang in the past. Most of Shaogang's employees are like lambs waiting to be fed, wanting to join the Nanshan Group's family as soon as possible.

In this case, even if Baosteel, the major shareholder, wants to block it, it is meaningless.

Even so, the profit is still higher than other automotive panels.

And if compared with ordinary steel, it is even more different.

Speaking of which, when Lai Liang was the general manager of Baosteel Southern Company, he had contact with Cao Yang, and they were all old acquaintances.

"Mr. Cao, the hot stamping steel plate we jointly developed has now become the most profitable project among Baosteel's automotive sheets."

But there are some things that he is not willing to do.

It can be said that Baosteel has certain pricing power in China's domestic steel market.

Lai Liang definitely doesn't want to see other companies compete with him for money.

So it is most appropriate to chat first and find a common topic for both parties to talk about.

When a big boss talks about things, he definitely doesn't start arguing over trivial matters.

"Their HQAS1500H hot stamped steel plates may also be used by companies such as Yangcheng Honda and Xifeng Nissan in the future."

But the selling price is more than 4,000 yuan per ton, and almost 10,000 yuan per ton.

Through this cooperation, the hot stamping steel plates used by the Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory have been domestically produced, further promoting the development of hot stamping technology in the country.

Each steel company's monthly steel price adjustments refer to the data released by Baosteel.

Hot stamped steel plates are a relatively high-profit type of automobile plates, and various steel companies must also want to get a share of the pie.

"In this case, we actually don't need the production capacity of steel companies like them."

"I have also heard about this news. ArcelorMittal's previous market focus has always been on Europe and Tianzhu, but now it seems that it also wants to get a share of the Chinese market."

The most in-depth cooperation project between Baosteel and Nanshan Special Steel is hot stamping steel plates.

"Hot stamping parts have been used too much in the automotive industry in recent years, and we have made a considerable contribution to automotive safety."

"Then Nippon Steel has also cooperated with ArcelorMittal. The two parties have mutually licensed patents, allowing Nippon Steel to obtain the technology of hot stamping steel plates."

After all, there is not much cost difference between producing hot stamped steel sheets and producing different JAC270C galvanized sheets.

Of course, this topic was just an introduction. The two chatted briefly and then moved to the main topic.

After all, automobile sheets are a relatively high-profit type in the steel industry.

Anyway, Nanshan Special Steel has no plans to produce hot stamped steel plates by itself, so Cao Yang doesn't mind reminding Lai Liang to pay attention to competitors.

In order to promote the vigorous development of hot stamping technology at Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory, Cao Yang, who did not want hot stamped steel plates to be monopolized by ArcelorMittal, chose to use Nanshan Special Steel's technology and Baosteel to build the production line and be responsible for the production. Special collaboration.

The profits here are terrifyingly high.

Although Lai Liang knows that Shaogang will eventually be sold to Nanshan Special Steel, there is definitely no harm in being able to gain more benefits.

At worst, Xie Lingyun will go find the relevant departments to say hello.

In recent years, Baosteel's development speed has not been slow, and it has become the leading steel company in China.

Of course, the premise is the steel materials that Baosteel can produce in large quantities.

"Mr. Lai, I heard that ArcelorMittal is planning to cooperate with Valin Steel and authorize them to produce hot stamped steel plates."

It’s not like I’m asking you to sell your company at a loss. For something like this that is in line with the general policy, there must be someone who is willing to stand up and support Nanshan Group.

In recent years, Baosteel has been working hard to acquire various domestic enterprises in order to become the largest steel manufacturer in China.

Special steels such as bearing steel for high-speed rail and aircraft carrier steel plates are definitely not as important as Baosteel.

Although Lai Liang had dealt with Cao Yang earlier, it was many years ago after all, and everyone was not particularly familiar with them.

In this way, the communication between the king and the king will obviously be much more efficient.

Many times, quarrels occur down below, but when it comes to the boss, everything seems to be harmonious.

"Domestic steel production capacity is already so high, it can be said to be a serious surplus."

"However, as an important part of Baosteel's national layout, Shaogang is actually of great significance to us."

"Mr. Cao, I have always admired Nanshan Special Steel as a leading company in the domestic special steel industry."

Of course, as competition becomes fierce, the price of hot stamped steel plates will definitely continue to drop.

After thinking about these issues clearly, Baosteel's general manager Lai Liang personally led a team over to negotiate with Cao Yang.

Lai Liang also felt the benefits from this merger activity.

For example, pricing power is the result of Baosteel's continuous mergers with other steel plants and its increasing influence.

Otherwise, why would you let others follow your price fluctuations?

"There is excess domestic steel production capacity, but we still need to import a lot of special steel from abroad every year."

"This contradiction between supply and demand is actually a structural contradiction."

"Steel manufacturers like Shaogang that don't have any competitive products of their own are manufacturers that need to consider phasing out part of their production capacity according to the ministries and commissions."

"Otherwise, domestic steel companies will be in a state where no one can make money. This is definitely not what everyone wants to see."

"Rather than letting Shaogang continue to lose money and become a burden to Baosteel, it is better to stop the loss in time."

Be reasonable and present the facts.

Who wouldn't?

Cao Yang could easily find a lot of words that were beneficial to his acquisition of Shaogang.

Besides, whether it's people from Shaogang, Baosteel headquarters, or people from ministries and commissions, they all know that Nanshan Special Steel's acquisition of Shaogang is a good thing.

With this premise, Cao Yang is naturally confident now.

"Every industry will enter a bottleneck period when it reaches a certain stage of development. The domestic steel industry is now in a bottleneck period."
