"This is actually another reason why I support the development of the real estate industry. ”

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, "The real estate industry is inseparable from steel, cement, and construction machinery for great development, which will bring opportunities to our equipment manufacturing industry." At the beginning, we imported technology from Western countries, and it took more than 20 years to digest and absorb these technologies and turn them into our own technology, just to use them at this time. In recent years, due to the continuous expansion of domestic infrastructure, including the real estate industry, the demand for steel has soared, steel plants are being built in various places, and there are too many metallurgical equipment orders for Qinzhong and Puzhong to be busy. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Meng Fanze came to his emotions. In the first few years of his retirement, he often asked about some things in the industrial field, and he was able to grasp a lot of information. In the past few years, he has been getting older and less energetic, and some things are not very clear. Hearing Feng Xiaochen say that Qin Chong and Pu Chong had too many orders to be busy, his first feeling was excitement, which showed that the country's industry was thriving, which was also the dream of their generation.

Feng Xiaochen said: "That's true. In the past three years, 12 new hot-rolling and cold-rolling production lines of more than 1,700 mm have been built in China, with an additional rolling capacity of more than 40 million tons. Among these 12 lines, 6 are produced by ourselves, and we have complete intellectual property rights. In addition, there are more than 40 thermal power stations under construction in China, with a total installed capacity of more than 50 million kilowatts, and 80% of the equipment is domestic. ”

"Is that the technology they introduced from Longshan Electric Factory?" Meng Fanze asked.

"Yes, it is the technology introduced by Longdian and Dongdian that has been basically digested now, and the design level of some equipment even exceeds that of Xiyi Company in the United States, and it can be among the world's first. Feng Xiaochen said proudly.

"Well done!" Meng Fanze praised, "This fully shows that the policy of introducing foreign advanced technology for my use made by our country back then is completely correct." In addition, the work of your equipment company is also very effective, without you to take the lead in organizing the national equipment enterprises to actively tackle key problems, digest and absorb the introduction of technology, we can not form our own design and manufacturing capabilities so quickly. ”

"The work we do is very limited. Feng Xiaochen said modestly, and then said: "The most important factor is that we are a big country with a huge market. The technology we introduce can be quickly applied and tested in the market, and improved through market feedback. Even if some small countries have acquired technology, it is difficult to find a place to use it, and there is no room for development. ”

"Indeed, this is the advantage of a great power. Meng Fanze said with emotion.

What Feng Xiaochen reported to Meng Fanze was by no means a lie. Since the beginning of the new century, China's fixed asset investment scale has been expanding, and a large number of residential, road, bridge, and port construction have created an unprecedented market for raw materials and construction machinery, and raw material production and construction machinery manufacturing have put forward a strong demand for the equipment manufacturing industry. At this time, it fully reflects the foresight of the national policy of promoting the localization of major technical equipment 20 years ago, if there is no independent equipment manufacturing industry, such a large equipment market is all dependent on foreign countries, and the feeling of being cut leeks will be worse than death.

Here are a few sets of real-world data:

In 2000, 1.68 million kilometers of highways were opened to traffic, including 16,300 kilometers of expressways, and in 2016, 4.7 million kilometers of highways were opened to traffic, including 131,000 kilometers of expressways.

In 2000, the operating mileage of railways in China was 68,700 kilometers, and in 2016, it was 124,000 kilometers, of which the mileage of high-speed railways was opened from scratch, and the operating mileage reached 23,000 kilometers in 2016, ranking first in the world.

In 2000, the country's installed power generation capacity was 320 million kilowatts, and in 2016 it reached 1.65 billion kilowatts, equivalent to five times that of 2000.

In terms of residential construction, since 2000, the average annual residential area completed in the country has reached 1.5 billion square meters, which is equivalent to an increase of 1 square meter per capita per year. Don't underestimate this figure, in 1978, the per capita residential floor area of China's urban residents was only 6.7 square meters, and in rural areas it was 8.1 square meters.

In 2016, China's annual steel output was 1.135 billion tons, 8.7 times that of 2000 and 52 times that of 1978, 66 million tons of chemical fertilizer, 7.6 times that of 1978, and 17.81 million tons of ethylene, 47 times that of 1978. There are also 670,000 metal cutting machine tools, 7.95 million tons of special mining equipment, 620,000 large and medium-sized tractors, 28 million automobiles, 130 million kilowatts of power generation equipment, 2.4 billion tons of cement, and 800 million weight boxes of flat glass......

Behind all these capacity blowouts, there is a strong equipment manufacturing industry as a support. The efforts of several generations are reaping the fruits.

Just when Feng Xiaochen and Meng Fanze were talking about China's industrial development, Ning Mo, chairman of the board of directors of Moyang Trading Co., Ltd., Yichuan City, Linhe Province, and Zhao Yang, general manager, walked into the door of Clark Steel Company in Madhya Pradesh, India, accompanied by an Indian man in his 30s, dark skin, and handsome facial features.

"Lao Duo, are you sure to win this company? Lao Zhao and I have run so far with you, and I am constipated from eating curry rice. If you can't take this company, I'm not done with you, and when you go to China in the future, I'll beat you up when I see you, you know?"

Ning Mo smiled and warned the handsome Indian guy beside him. This Indian's surname is Dobble, and there is a long list of real names, patronymic names, village names, etc., which Ning Mo has never remembered. Eventually, for the sake of convenience, he gave Doble a nickname, Lao Duo. Doble didn't care, and gladly accepted.

Doble is considered a "China expert" in India, because he studied in China for four years, and only the academic secretary who helped him go through hundreds of make-up examination procedures knows how much he has learned in professional courses, but he has used these four years to visit many scenic spots in China, and also learned the dialects of more than a dozen places, and can even chat with people in Sichuan-style Mandarin for half an hour without helping.

With his patch-and-patch transcript, Doble got his diploma. After returning to India, Doble worked for several companies in charge of trade with China. After working for a while, he thought that the work in the company was too boring and the income was too low, so he left his job and opened a one-person company by himself, becoming a professional broker, specializing in dumping Chinese goods to India to sell, and the business was actually very prosperous.

Doble's friendship with Nimmer began when he purchased decorative stones from Nimmer. Ning Mo is a very easy-going person, especially likes to make friends with all kinds of people with alternative attributes. Doble was an Indian who could speak Chinese and had a very lively personality, and Ning Mo became friends after having dinner with him. This time, Ning Mo and Zhao Yang were invited by Doble to come to India to sell steelmaking equipment.

When Feng Xiaochen went to Lengshui Mine to contact the dump truck industry experiment, he gave Lengshui Mine a trick to make decorative stone from the granite stripped from the surface of the open-pit mine. A few years later, Ning Mo and Zhao Yang, who were unwilling to be lonely, volunteered to come out to sell the defective stone of the stone factory, and were assigned by Feng Xiaochen to package the defective products into a "foreign trade tail list", which was an instant hit, and then set up their own company to sell stone.

Later, Ning Mo met Han Jiangyue, and in the process of helping Han Jiangyue contract Xinmin Hydraulic Tool Factory, he moved the beauty, tied the knot with Han Jiangyue, and achieved a good story.

Over the years, Xinmin Hydraulic Tools Factory has grown under the leadership of Han Jiangyue, and is now one of the top hydraulic parts manufacturers in China, and also has a place on the international hydraulic equipment stage.

Ning Mo played an important role in the development of New Hydraulics, and when the development of New Hydraulics came to an end and all management was on the right track, he found that he had no use in this company. Han Jiangyue is an outstanding entrepreneur, and the managers recruited in the company one after another also have rich experience and superb professional skills, which are far from being comparable to Ning Mo, who is semi-literate. Ning Mo was reluctant to be an ornament in the company, and at the same time missed the wonderful life of fooling customers everywhere with Zhao Yang, so he returned to his old business and started trading again.

The company that Ning Mo and Zhao Yang co-founded was named Moyang Trading Company, and it was mainly supported by Zhao Yang alone over the years, and the business was not bad, nor too good, and it felt a little rich and peaceful. After Ning Mo returned to Moyang Company, Zhao Yang also cheered up and was ready to do a big job with his old friends.

At this time, the cold water iron ore has approached the period of resource exhaustion, but the stone processing industry developed as a sideline business has become more and more prosperous, and the cold water iron ore has almost transformed into a cold water stone mine. Due to the development of the domestic real estate industry, the demand for stone has increased dramatically, and hundreds of stone manufacturing and sales enterprises have emerged in various places, making this market a fiercely competitive "Red Sea".

Although Ning Mo and Zhao Yang's business is still passable, after all, it is no longer the state of almost lying down to make money in the past. In addition, both of them already have some savings, and Ning Mo has a president wife with a net worth of billions, and there is no such feeling of excitement when signing a list of 350,000 yuan in the past. It's not that there are no opportunities to get rich in the market, and even there are many more such opportunities than more than ten years ago, but Ning Mo and Zhao Yang are both middle-aged, their thinking is not active enough, and their motivation is not as good as that of young people, so many opportunities can only be watched, but they can't grab them.

When he was lamenting that it was not easy to make money, Doble brought them such a message, saying that a steel company in India wanted to import steelmaking equipment from China, and asked them if they had any channels. Ning Mo discussed with Zhao Yang, and felt that this might be an opportunity, since the domestic money is not easy to earn, it is also good to go out and earn foreigners' money. These two have never been to India, and they also have the idea of hunting for curiosities, which is why they have made this trip to India.

Explain some things in a unified way: Some classmates said, how can there be only one deputy jumping up and down in Hoi An's affairs, and whether Xiao Feng should be at a certain level, don't be entangled in these questions, the river crab is fierce, and there are some things that everyone can understand.
