Chapter 719: Uncle
Zhao Dong and Xiao Mingxia walked out with their fleshy son in their arms, Shen Huai pinched the little guy's pink face, shouted the little guy's nickname, and asked, "Guoguo, do you still recognize me, have you learned to call people?"
The little guy shouted "uncle" in a milky voice, looked at Shen Huai timidly for a while, turned his little head back, and went to his mother with dark eyes, as if he was very unsure of this title - everyone laughed when they saw this situation, Shen Huai was very strange, and asked Yang Haipeng: "What are you laughing at, the little guy is not wrong?"
Yang Haipeng said with a smile: "When Mingxia just pulled her kid over, she called people next to her, and shouted 'uncle' at Zhao Dong, almost shouting out Zhao Dong's tears......"
Shen Huai patted Zhao Dong's shoulder and smiled at each other.
Xiong Daini regretted letting Qiqi go back to bed with her mother early, otherwise it would be fun for the two children to run together.
Over the past four years, the huge market gap has driven the domestic steel industry to surge, and the main force of state-owned steel enterprises is still in the quagmire of the system to turn around, in order to adapt to the increasingly open market, in order to overcome their own increasingly serious bureaucratic shortcomings and struggle, Meigang can decisively cut off all the burdens, with an indomitable attitude, is the basis for great success.
However, without Zhao Dong and a group of other people, who regard the factory as their home and dedicate the most essential youth of their lives, Meigang would not have the glory it has today.
Zhao Dong personally participated in the transformation of the first factory, participated in the construction of the second factory and the Xinpu factory, did not work until late at night for a day, most of the time for convenience, and slept in the dormitory shed of the construction site. It is precisely because of them that the old factory transformation, the second factory and the Xinpu plant can be built quickly with high standards and high levels.
It took only 21 months for the Xinpu steel mill to be put into operation, and the construction period of the same scale of long-process steel mill, the highest construction level in Europe and the United States, is also as long as 27 months.
The high-level and rapid completion and operation of Xinpu Steel Mill, with its ultra-high cost and quality control, have strengthened the confidence of partners such as West Youmins Industrial Group, Feiqi Industrial, Berkeley Bank, and BNP Paribas in Meigang and the domestic economy and market potential.
Although the current Asia-Pacific economy is in a violent turmoil, even countries such as Japan and South Korea are difficult to escape, West Omins Industrial Group also made a decision to inject 10 million US dollars into Huailian Heavy Industry at the beginning of the month.
The investment of 10 million US dollars has not made any waves in Donghua, and the capital injection of West Omins Industrial Group is only a prelude to the relocation of its metallurgy, mining and construction equipment manufacturing sectors in the UK to China.
In addition, after the transfer of all steel production capacity, the steelmaking department was not completely abolished, and a new foreign-funded enterprise was registered in Sinpo, which intends to transform into a consulting company that provides metallurgical materials, automation, and software technology services.
The registered capital of the new technology service company of West Youmins Industrial Group is also only 10 million US dollars, but it has actually strengthened the weak link in the entire steel industry cluster in Donghua.
At the same time, Feiqi Industry injected capital into Hengyang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, but the amount of capital injection was less, only 6 million US dollars. It is expressed that West Youmins Industrial Group, Feiqi Industrial Group and the industrial capital forces behind them not only have confidence and expectations for the domestic market and Meigang, but also have worries about the current Asia-Pacific economy, and the industrial transfer action is not yet resolute.
However, in the wave of existing industrial transfer, Meigang is one of the biggest beneficiaries.
But when it comes to the success of Meigang, there is not much secret, as long as there is a steel enterprise, can have such a thorough clean-up and rectification, closely follow the current mainstream of metallurgical technology, with an open and tolerant attitude, there can be such a group of people selfless, rigorous work, in the previous gap under the huge market environment, copying the success of Meigang is not an illusion.
In recent years, Meigang is not the only one who has achieved great success, but Meigang's achievements are so dazzling, it is nothing more than that all aspects can be excellent and outstanding, but the bitterness and bitterness can only be known by those who are in it.
In addition to Zhao Dong, Yang Haipeng and others, Sun Qiyi, who had been in the mainland in the past two days, also rushed over to participate in Xiong Wenbin's farewell reception, and came over with mixed tastes and shook hands with Wu Haifeng, Xiong Wenbin, and Shen Huai.
Shen Huai asked Sun Qiyi with a smile: "I have a lot of things in the county in the past two days, and I didn't find time to accompany my second uncle, after the second uncle arrived in Donghua, everything was fine, and I didn't rush back to stay in Donghua for two more days." ”
"Hong Kong has been in a panic these days, and I rushed to Donghua to escape the summer, and I am not in a hurry to ......go back," Sun Qiyi said with a smile.
The previous grievances have been eliminated, and people always have to bow to reality, even Sun Qiyi, who has mastered the billions of dollars invested by the Evergreen Group in the Asia-Pacific region.
The economic situation in the Asia-Pacific region is still deteriorating further, and the investment of the Evergreen Group in the Asia-Pacific region is as high as more than one billion US dollars, and the losses can also be described as heavy.
However, half a year ago, it closed its electronic equipment manufacturing and other light industry sectors in Thailand and Malaysia in a timely manner, and with the cooperation of Meigang, it transferred a considerable amount of hotel, tourism and light industry assets to the mines, shipping and other industries that have fallen into a trough in Southeast Asia, all of which have reduced the investment losses of Evergreen Group in the Asia-Pacific region to the greatest extent.
In particular, the investment transferred to the mining and shipping industries, relying only on the business provided by Meigang, can maintain good profits under the current violently oscillating economic situation, which is already a rare bright color in the bleakness.
Coupled with the previous correct investment decisions in the joint venture steel mill, Meixi Port and Meixi Power Plant, Sun Qiyi retained his position as senior vice president of Evergreen Group and general load in the Asia-Pacific region.
The reality is so cruel, although Sun Qiyi personally has a share of 20 to 30 million US dollars in the family fund, but what really supports his status in the world of Chinese businessmen is the position of senior vice president of Evergreen Group, which has an annual salary of millions of dollars.
Once he loses this position, in the Chinese business world, Sun Qiyi can only be regarded as a third- or fourth-rate rich second generation and a rich third generation.
Looking at Shen Huai's thin and cold-contoured cheeks, Sun Qiyi naturally still disdains his character, but in the cruel world of capital, what can win attention has always been excellent strength, and everyone throws their character and morality into the dirty garbage bin.
At this time, Sun Qiyi still remembers what Shen Huai said when he was invited to attend the board of directors of Evergreen Group a month ago: "If Evergreen Group wants to become a truly first-class industrial capital force, the emerging market in the mainland is the only opportunity that can be seized......"
Sun Qiyi was naturally able to come up with countless reasons to refute Shen Huai, but he had to admit that Shen Huai's eloquent words were very encouraging, and they were the key factor that prompted the board of directors to finally make the decision to establish the China headquarters in Xinpu.
This also means that the large-scale participation of Evergreen Group in the construction of Xinpu Port and the pace of in-depth cooperation with Meigang are about to begin, which cannot be stopped by Sun Qiyi personally.
If he didn't get involved, Sun Qishan and the other group directors who were bewitched by Shen Huai and Mei Gang would be the first to kick him out.
Putting aside previous prejudices and personal grievances, the achievements of Meigang's rise cannot be ignored by Sun Qiyi. He is also not a person who is controlled by personal likes and dislikes, and knows the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Sun Qiyi's visit to the mainland this time has four important tasks: First, he will continue to promote the construction of an electronic equipment manufacturing base, first, he will set up a headquarters in China, first, he will negotiate a joint venture with Sinpu Port Group on Container Terminal Co., Ltd., and second, he will merge his shipping business with Sinpu International Shipping Group.
The holding parent company of Xinpu Port Group is the Xinpu Development Group, which represents the Xiapu County Government, and the background of the Xinpu International Shipping Group is more complicated, but it is mainly held by seven companies: Xinpu Development Group, Meigang Group, Huaineng Group, Zhujiang Investment, Pengyue Group, Zhongxin Investment, and Hongji Investment......
During this period, the investment adjustment of Evergreen Group in the Asia-Pacific region was carried out in close cooperation with Meigang, which also allowed Sun Qiyi to have a new understanding of the cooperation between Meigang and industrial giants such as West Youmins and Feiqi Industry.
Once with the support of industrial capital, West Youmins, Feiqi Industry and Meigang continue to cooperate in depth, and transfer their industrial manufacturing departments to Xinpu and Meixi on a large scale, which will further strengthen Meigang's industrial base.
The Xinpu Refining & Chemical Project has successfully obtained the pass of the State Planning Commission and entered the comprehensive construction period, which makes people look forward to the future growth of Meigang.
A few years ago, Sun Qiyi also treated Sun Yalin as a little girl, and when she was in Hong Kong, she felt that she was not easy to manage, and it was a trouble to stay around, so he kicked her to work at Yexin Bank.
In addition to Sun Yalin, who is also the chairman of the Xinpu Refining & Chemical Group with a total investment of 600 million US dollars, the total assets of the Zhongxin Industrial Investment Fund controlled by her have grown to 800 million US dollars in just three or four years, which is really jaw-dropping.
Recently, Japan dragged down the Asia-Pacific financial turmoil, and the yen exchange rate plummeted, and the Bank of Berkeley and other investors once again provided Utrust with a loan of up to 200 million US dollars to help it reverse the purchase of yen at any time for hedging.
In terms of the current decline in Japan's exchange rate, the direct benefit of Utrust hedging cāo will exceed US$120 million, and if the financial situation deteriorates further, the benefits of hedging cāo will be even more staggering.
As a result, the total capital controlled by Zhongxin Industrial Investment Fund will exceed one billion US dollars, and Sun Yalin's personal assets in it will also exceed 100 million US dollars, so that the board of directors of Evergreen Group once had the idea of acquiring Zhongxin and making Sun Yalin replace Sun Qiyi as president of Asia Pacific.
Thinking that he has been in the business sea for half his life, he is not even far away from a little girl who has just come out of the hairy house, Sun Qiyi is also discouraged, at this time in front of Shen Huai and his niece Sun Yalin, he naturally has no temper, although he has always been reluctant to recognize Shen Huai as his cousin.
Although he had suffered a lot of white eyes and squeezing before, Shen Huai personally did not have a particularly deep grudge against Sun Qiyi, maybe there were different souls in this body. Similarly, in the face of huge interests, personal grievances, likes and dislikes also need to be restrained.
In the early years, Evergreen Group made its fortune in tourism, hotels, real estate and other industries, and once monopolized several wholesale markets in the suburbs of Paris, and only entered the shopping malls and financial industries in the middle of the year, which also constituted the main body of Evergreen Group's business in Europe at this time, and also formed the core of Evergreen Group's current main assets.
Due to the long-term weakness of the traditional economy in Europe and the United States, Evergreen Group's business development in Europe has been slow and stagnant in the past decade.
In the early 80s, Evergreen Group began to invest in the Asia-Pacific region on a large scale, in addition to traditional hotels, commercial real estate, etc., but also began to enter the port, shipping, electronics, mechanical and electrical manufacturing and other industries.
The accumulation of Evergreen Group in the manufacturing industry cannot be compared with the giants such as West Omins and Feiqi Industry, which focus on industrial development, but the investment of large capital and the accumulation of more than ten years also make Evergreen Group accumulate a certain foundation in industrial development.
Although Meigang has achieved great growth in recent years, with the current scale, it is in danger of being eaten if it wants to fully integrate with West Omins and Feiqi Industry, but the industrial department of Evergreen Group is relatively weak, and Meigang can continue to grasp the initiative by integrating the two.
The accumulation of more than ten years in the industry of Evergreen Group is not bad, especially the high status of Evergreen Group in Southeast Asian Chinese business groups, which is more conducive to Meigang absorbing talents, technology, management and other nutrients that are increasingly needed from the Chinese community in Southeast Asia.
