Chapter 31: The Problem of Eating
There is no pain in the world for no reason, and there is no love for no reason.
Ruan Chenggang and Tao Sha were so pointed, but they couldn't dispel Yue Wen's ambition, especially after experiencing the blood and fire of Jinjiling, his self-confidence exploded.
There is a text in the primary school Chinese textbook called "Pony Crossing the River", he is confident that it is the pony, the river is not as shallow as Uncle Niu said, nor as deep as the little squirrel said, only if he has tried it himself.
However, a week passed, he and Wang Feng ran around the bank, but they ran into a wall one after another, a closed factory, no one was willing to take out a loan, and there were still a large amount of old debts unpaid.
Several vice presidents were mostly watching jokes, and Zhou Houde accompanied them a few times, but they were also disappointed.
Fundraising, an ancient method, not only the vice president is unwilling, the workers' families are thin, and they are not willing to take a penny outside, this method Yue Wen does not approve, but Wang Feng took the lead in taking 100,000 yuan from the family, but it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, just like a glass of water poured into the vast desert, and disappeared in an instant.
One day.
Two days.
Three days......
Yue Wen, I haven't been to the cement factory for a week, Hei Ba comes over every day, climbs into the financial room from the window in the dark at night, and accompanies Lang Jianping to sort out the accounts.
"What a smart man he is, glue hair to him, he is better than the monkey in the mountains, by the way, he is one of the five spirits of our Furong street. Seeing that Wang Feng was anxious, Heiba ridiculed.
These days, the pressure is still on the workers' side, successfully encouraging the enthusiasm of the workers to return to work, but the product is still backlogged, Zhou Houde is engaged in technology, the vice president in charge of sales mobile phones are turned off, people are fundamentally connected, and if this continues, the spearhead of the workers will soon be pointed at the three of them initiators.
"Song Tielin, don't talk nonsense," Wang Feng was anxious, his true colors came out, Hei Ba blinked his eyes, this "Feng Lazi" is really not called in vain, "Where is Yue Wen?"
"In the office. β
"What are you doing?"
"I don't know, oh, I went to China Construction for a run, and the rest of the time I was in the office, for a week, and the little girl from the community office sent him lunch for lunch. β
"Go, take me to him. β
At this time, only the lights in the duty room were on, but Yue Wen's office was still brightly lit.
Wang Feng "pedaled" up to the third floor, without even knocking on the door, and directly pushed open the door of Yue Wen's office.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
Wang Feng couldn't help coughing and fanned his nose with his hand, "Aren't you not smoking? How many cigarettes are you smoking? This house is about to catch fire, right?"
Yue Wen walked in front of him, stacks of materials, ashtrays were already full of cigarette butts, and the leftover meals were still not poured.
"In this alchemy, what has been refined?" Wang Feng suddenly felt that his heart hanging in the air fell.
"Alchemy?hehe, I'm refining myself!" Yue Wen smiled.
"How's it going?"
"It's done," he suddenly slapped the thick information on the table, "all the information and reports that can be found on the Internet are all available, and I already have the framework of the cement industry in my head, and I don't want someone to treat me as a layman in my later work." β
Wang Feng suddenly felt that her heart was stuffed with something, she picked up the rice basin on Yue Wen's table and went to the bathroom, "Hey, how can you let the eldest lady do such rough work, starling, no eyes, go quickly!"
Hei Ba smiled, "It's the eldest lady at home, and it's the girl in front of you," he suddenly lowered his voice and smiled cheaply, "It's okay to be a girl in the room, provided you can hold it!"
"you, your mind is full of feudal thoughts! You look like a feudal society, get out of the way. Yue Wen leaned lazily on the chair, looking very tired.
Wang Feng came back with the rice bowl, and Yue Wen stood up again, "Sit, sit, and report to Mr. Wang about my learning results in the past few days." β
"Real estate tycoon Mullen said that your ability to think about problems is largely related to your vocabulary system. We are in the agency and are very familiar with the language used in the agency, but now if we want to engage in cement, we have to talk about it in the language of business and the language of the cement industry, otherwise people will think that you are a donkey's head and not a horse's mouth, and people will even sit with you and drink tea. β
"It's so profound. Kurohachi smacked his tongue.
"Don't interrupt. Wang Feng glared at him.
"Let's talk about why the cement plant is in this situation. Yue Wen patted the information on the table, "The cement used in the real estate industry accounts for only 30% of the total amount of cement, while infrastructure construction, such as road construction, bridges, tunnels, hydropower stations, etc., accounts for 70%. In recent years, cyclical fluctuations in economic operation and macroeconomic adjustments have led to a decline in infrastructure investment, weak demand and overcapacity, and cement prices have fallen sharply. This is an environmental factor. β
"Let's talk about industry factors, cement demand is rigid, unlike seafood, everyone eats more if it's cheaper, well, it's like sea salt, no matter how cheap you can't eat more. β¦β¦ Despite the rapid economic growth, the supply of cement in the country has been exceeding the growth of demand, which has caused vicious competition, selling at a loss at a lower price, and sometimes not being sold. β
Yue Wen rubbed his bloodshot eyes, stood up, a cool wind came to his face, he took a few deep breaths of fresh air, his eyes penetrated the night, "But now the situation is different, almost all parts of the country are promoting urbanization, urbanization is one meaning is real estate, the other meaning is construction, cement is needed to build buildings, cement is needed to build roads, cement is needed for urban construction, Qinwan needs it, the whole country needs it, what a big market this is? Therefore, I dare to conclude that the demand for cement will be greater in the future, and the future is bright." β
"But far water can't quench the thirst of the near...... Wang Feng muttered, confident men are the most attractive, thinking men are the most attractive, in front of the confident man who is thinking, the posture of smoking is a kind of conquest for women.
"Listen to me. Yue Wen interrupted Wang Feng domineeringly, "And cement, a cementitious material, is almost impossible to replace." Not that there are no stronger ones than cement, there are, like steel and aluminum, but the cost is too high. No building material is more readily available than cement β ordinary limestone is just burned, and no building material is easier to produce than cement. Cement is widely used not because of how good its characteristics are, but because it is cheap. So far, you can't find anything cheaper. β
"Hehe, you've become an expert. Kurohachi couldn't help it.
"It's about becoming an expert, not an expert, and you can't speak in layman's terms," Yue Wen looked at him, "In the field of mainstream building materials, cement is the heaviest, accounting for more than 70% of the industry's GDP." However, like new building materials, this is also a fiercely competitive, small and scattered industry, with private enterprises accounting for more than 90 percent. β
"I have always thought that developed countries can not only learn from technology, but also the development process of enterprises, can also be used for reference, Dongying, has also suffered from serious overcapacity of cement, and then through a series of restructuring, only 3 large cement companies remain. β
"In the next ten years, economists are very optimistic, may be the rapid rise of China's economic development, but from the industry point of view, China's bulk basic raw materials industry has fallen into a surplus dilemma, the internal logic of market development is to improve concentration, China's large enterprises integration of small enterprises can be said to be a matter of course. β
"Now, after the Opium War, China's cement industry, under the demographic dividend, urban expansion and large-scale construction, has developed rapidly, China has become a world-class cement country in one fell swoop, this is an important opportunity period is also a bottleneck period, the cement industry bigwigs have begun to layout, there are central enterprises and private enterprises, the layout means reorganization, this war has already begun!"
"Reorganization?" Wang Feng didn't understand.
"Yes," Yue Wen slowly paced around his office, "China's cement market is distinctly regional, and one of the reasons is that cement is only transported within a radius of about 200 kilometers. Cement is a non-trade commodity with a sales radius, its core market area is divided by region, not by administrative region, our cement plant is the largest cement plant in Qinwan and even the eastern part of Shanhai Province, there is no other branch, that is to say, in the east of Shanhai, we are the boss, we have technology, workers, equipment, I believe that spring will come soon. β
"Spring has arrived. Kurohachi said.
"Yes, it's just that you still think it's in the winter, and you don't feel it," Yue Wen suddenly returned to his seat, "I spent a week to gnaw all the knowledge of cement, two conclusions, one is that with the implementation of urbanization and the rise of the real estate industry, the cement industry will definitely be better, and the other is that the cement industry should be integrated, and the early integration will benefit from it." β
"But, what I have to do now," he suddenly straightened up, "I also know what Wang Feng meant when you came, you must have been under a lot of pressure these days,...... Wang Feng suddenly felt that his eyes were moist, "Now we have to solve the problem of eating first and stabilize people's hearts!"
"How to solve it?" Wang Feng asked urgently.
"Several bids for the construction of Shenhai Expressway are about to be tendered," Yue Wen showed his hole card, "Let's go, participate in the bidding, bidding, and have to trouble Mr. Zhou." β
"But we've participated in it before, but we didn't succeed," Wang Feng looked at this resolute face, but she suddenly had confidence, she believed that the man in front of her, no matter what he did, could succeed, "This time, however, it's different......" The latter words can only be heard by herself.

Money is needed to repay bank loans, money is needed to continue production, money is needed to support families for thousands of employees, money is needed for pension insurance, and money is needed for night office, and everything will be impossible to talk about without money.
Cars are speeding down the highway, and the green belt winds backwards like a green dragon.
"Director Yue, the sampling and inspection have been completed,...... Are you familiar with Zhongjian, do you have a bottom?" The vehicles were all sealed, and the group sat in a borrowed business warehouse and drove towards Shennan City, the provincial capital.
Yue Wen looked at Zhou Houde and said with a smile, "No, I don't know them well, fair bidding." β
Zhou Houde stopped talking for a while.
In this bidding, there are more than 20 enterprises bidding, and eight cement factories in the province are almost pouring out, and like Qinwan Cement Factory, the factory is the only one sealed by the court, and it is unique, and I am afraid that it is unique in the national bidding meeting.
And if the Qinwan Cement Factory returns in this bidding, the last glimmer of hope will be shattered, because people always live by hope, without hope, people's hearts will be scattered, and no workers will tear off the seal at night to come to work.
