"In every piece of steel, there is a secret to the rise and fall of a country. ”

- W. Klaas.

When Zhao Song was still entangled with the temporary spy Bai Li in the name of 'spending money', in Qingxian County, Cangshi City, 190 kilometers to the south, the world's largest production base of mechanical and electrical products, Wuming Science and Technology Industrial Park, was in full swing of a senior management meeting.

One company, one city.

Xu Liangying, who has been pampered for a long time, is no longer what it used to be.

She sat in the main seat, but the ripe young woman did not attract the attention of her subordinates, who argued and argued with reason.

Grievances, anger, humiliation, and unwillingness, all kinds of expressions appeared on the faces of the executives.

A businessman once said: Aside from Tesla, Wuming Technology is the most bloodthirsty and aggressive private enterprise in China.

However, it is precisely because of these characteristics that Wuming Technology has kept up with the pace of development of Tesla and has come to today's position step by step.

With the never-ending fighting spirit, they have defeated countless island countries, Wanwan, the United States and other mechanical and electrical manufacturers in the bidding for the replacement of Tesla's products again and again.

They have reason to be proud, so they have even more reason to be angry.

Because they have learned that Tesla has been polishing a new product line for more than two years - the supply of accessories for notebooks, it has lost to a small manufacturer in an island country.

For two years, there is still no clear news from the launch, everyone knows how much Zhao Song attaches importance to this product line, and countless supporting companies also understand what it will mean to enter this product line.

However, in this supplier war, they made a bad start for themselves: they lost, lost to a small factory in the island country, and lost to an inconspicuous accessory - the steel frame!

......

Xu Liangying sat peacefully, listening to the arguments of her subordinates while carefully studying the two photos in her hands.

One was given by Li Qiang, and he gave one to each of the executives of the Zhao Song Department before going to United Semiconductor to take office.

People in the photo are celebrating, some cheering, some hugging, some laughing — the scene of the first successful tape-out of Tesla Microelectronics, and she moved her gaze to the lower left corner, where a blurred figure crouched in the corner, head buried, hands covering face.

"Mr. Zhao cried that day. This is what Li Qiang told them: "If the tape-out fails, there will be no chance to take advantage, and then it will be all commercial tape-outs, and with the amount of capital of Mr. Zhao at that time, there may only be two chances." ”

"I am reluctant to Tesla, but United Semiconductor is a broader world, and I feel that I have a responsibility to pass on this philosophy. ”

On that day, Zhao Song was in Shanghai, but all his executives gathered at the capital airport to bid farewell to Li Qiang.

They watched him turn away, watched him walk through security, watched him suddenly turn around and run back, watched him shout:

"Never forget what he said: 'Scientific research allows failure!' 'Scientific research allows failure!' 'Scientific research allows failure!' He shouted three times!"

......

Xu Liangying felt that perhaps what really injected genes into Zhao Song's enterprises was not the advertisement, but the capital airport that day.

That is, from that day on, Xu Liangying likes to fail, and officially because of countless failures, she has enjoyed the sweet fruits of victory again and again.

Xu Liangying came back to her senses and heard that the quarrel was still going on, so she picked up another photo, there was a person on it, a rare ....... Similar.

One person, in front of thousands of workers, knelt down in front of the blast furnace chief, tears mixed with sweat.

Sun Guofang (not real name), born in poverty, graduated from primary school, chairman of Gangben Co., Ltd., billionaire.

His family farmed in the countryside, and he got Santana 2000 by car to pay off his debts, lived in a flat tile house, was not good at socializing, and his biggest hobby was squatting in the technical workshop.

It was this person who graduated from primary school, some time ago, announced the new factory plan, and the address was selected in a narrow Yan'an area by the Yangtze River.

However, not many people have noticed that there is a very prominent steel corridor, from west to east, Jiangcheng Iron and Steel, Jiujiang Iron and Steel, Ma'an Iron and Steel, Jinling Iron and Steel, Baosteel Group, such as giants standing side by side, all of them are among the 'Top 100 Industrial Enterprises in Planting Flowers'.

......

At this time, the louder and louder voices in the conference room interrupted Xu Liangying's thinking.

"I'm optimistic about the future of steel, and Dale Carnegie once said that the price is low and the scale of production is directly proportional, so the larger the scale of production, the lower the cost. ”

"Mr. Liu, no one disagrees with what you said, the premise is whether the courage of Sun Guofang and the Longcheng City Government can be realized. ”

"That's right, Mr. Liu, we are also suspicious of this point, 8.4 million tons, 9,379 acres of land, and the estimated project budget is astronomical 10.6 billion yuan.......

If all of them are realized, then Li Guofang will become the second richest man in the flower family!"

"Don't forget, you two, this kind of scale expansion is led by the local government, and even the local bank has given a credit of 4.6 billion yuan, so I don't think it has any possibility of failure. ”

"Mr. Liu, please pay attention to two points: first, it is a private enterprise, and second, the local municipal government is not a provincial government, and we don't even know if the central government knows the news. ”

"Let me add one more point: whether our parent company (Zhongguancun Holdings) allows us to participate, after all, it is the traditional steel industry, the country's important weapon!"

"A steel company can not affect the overall situation, everyone, don't forget where we lost this time, from the raw material research and development to participate in, is the strategic direction that we Wuming Technology has long formulated. ”

"Alright, alright. ”

Xu Liangying rubbed her forehead with a headache, and waited until the conference room was completely quiet before she looked around and continued:

"We have come to this point because the parent company has never interfered and fully supported us, and everyone here has no doubt about this, right?"

"Nope. ”

"Exactly. ”

Executives agreed.

"But this matter is very important, tens of billions of dollars, sensitive industries, reasonable, we should not make our own decisions as before. ”

“......”

The executives looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly realized that whether they participated in this matter or not was not up to them at all.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Xu Liangying smiled slightly and said decisively:

"I will enter Beijing tomorrow, and in addition to asking Zhao Song for instructions, I will ask the provincial government to inquire about the opinions of the upper echelons on this matter. ”

The executives bowed their heads one after another, pretending not to notice the fact that the boss called Zhao Songming directly, and made a careful listening statement.

"As for you ......"

"Bang la la blah~"

Mr. Xu didn't finish his words, and the books and pens in his hands went into battle one after another, and the glamorous executives in front of him made the appearance of students and put on a posture of serious records.

Xu Liangying couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, this paternalistic style not only did she feel wrong, but even Zhao Song said it several times, but it had no effect.

"First, after the meeting, thoroughly check all the project teams and strive to win all the projects that can be participated in in the future Tesla bidding. ”

"Yes. ”

"Second ......"

Xu Liangying suddenly lowered her face, her gloomy gaze swept over everyone's face, and after a long time, she said fiercely:

"Why did the Longcheng Investment Promotion Office find us? How was Gangben's information put on the chief secretary's desk?

Who?

Who?

48 hours, give me an answer.

Otherwise, I'll give you an answer!"
