The banquet is jointly organized in the name of Meixi Town and the District Investment Promotion Bureau.

The banquet was lively and intense, not only the township cadres, but also the officials of the District Investment Promotion Bureau who liked to drink recklessly when they seized the opportunity. Xiong Wenbin and Yang Yuquan rely on their identities and will not participate in the drinking, but they will not spoil everyone's interest, and after simply eating something, they will leave the table and retire first.

Shen Huai let the others eat and drink as usual, and he and Zhou Yu went to the parking lot in front of the hotel to send Xiong Wenbin and Yang Yuquan to leave in a car.

The town of Meixi has not erected street lights until this time, and today's weather is a little yin, except for the lights that shine through the hotel lobby, more places are shrouded in pitch black night, and there is a circle of light floating from the edge of the city in the distant sky.

"Do you want to go back earlier?" asked Zhou Yu Shen Huai.

"I didn't drive, and when he drank good wine, he gave me off. Zhou Yu said.

"Zhou Zhibai caught Yang Haipeng tonight, and when he drank good wine and asked the driver to come and pick him up, I don't know what time it will be - I'll send you back," Shen Huai said, "I accompanied Xiong and Yang just now, and they were not embarrassed to come over and pour me wine, I have to hide now......"

"You didn't happen to bring out the car keys, did you?" asked Zhou Yu.

Shen Huai proudly raised the keychain on his finger and asked Zhou Yu to get into the car together. After getting in the car, Shen Huai calculated the time, thinking that his sister-in-law should be able to go to Jiang Ning's house at this time, so he took out his mobile phone and said to Zhou Yu: "I'll call my sister-in-law first......"

Shen Huai dialed the phone directly to his sister-in-law Jiang Ning's house, which was also a coincidence, and her sister-in-law Song Wenhui heard the phone ring as soon as she entered the house.

Shen Huai greeted the hard work, and after a few words of homely thought, he wanted to hang up the phone and send Zhou Yu back, but the sister-in-law said on the other end of the phone: "Your father will go to Huaihai the day after tomorrow to take up his post, and he will settle down in the provincial city for a long time." There is no father and son in the world who are forever enmity, and you have to go back and see if you have time. ”

"Well, he told me to go back, and I went back. Shen Huai said in a loud voice.

"You kid, you just need to know it in your own heart, and I won't be a wicked person, so you have to do something. Song Wenhui smiled helplessly on the phone.

Hanging up the phone, Shen Huai put the phone on the dashboard, started the car and turned from Xuetang Street to Xiamei Highway and drove to the city.

There are no street lights along the road, the headlights of the car make the front road snow-white, but the light in the car is a little dim, Zhou Yu looked at Shen Huai's face a little depressed, his thin and handsome cheeks were a little tight, and asked, "What's unhappy?"

"My dad will come to Huaihai the day after tomorrow to officially take up his post, which can't make people happy. Shen Huai said with a smile.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhou Yu knew that Shen Huai, as a child of the Song family, was "reduced" to work in the township, and there was naturally an unknown twist and turn story behind it, looking at Shen Huai's focused and bright eyes. Although she was eager to know more about Shen Huai, she could only suppress this undeserved desire.

"After the Meixi Power Plant project is discussed, according to ordinary people's thoughts, the pace of Meixi Town should be slowed down, but I think, you may not be willing to stop," Zhou Yu changed the topic, looked at Shen Huai, and asked, "Isn't it?"

Shen Huai glanced sideways at Zhou Yu, maybe it was a busy day, Zhou Yu's bun at the back of her head was a little loose, her hair was fluffy, and there were a few strands hanging down her ears, which made her face a little more coquettish in the night.

"It's hard to relax, you can't help but talk about things at work?" Shen Huai asked with a smile.

"I'm just curious about your plans, and if I don't ask clearly, I won't be able to sleep when I go home. Zhou Yu said.

"I hope you can't sleep because of me," Shen Huai said with a smile, "It's beautiful just thinking about it." ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Shen Huai and scolded: "Nonsense, take advantage of me?"

Under the coquettishness, it was like a wave of lake water in the night, and his eyes were rippling, Shen Huai looked at it and felt a slight wave in his heart, and he was embarrassed to continue to let the evil road lead.

He said: "I heard the news that the city steel mill and Japan's Fuji Steel are talking about cooperation, and it seems that it has something to do with Huaigang. Now Gu Tong guards me like a thief, what cooperation is he talking about with Fuji, few people in the city steel mill know, do you have a way to find out the news?"

Seeing that Shen Huai did not hit the snake with the stick, but changed the topic with a weak heart, Zhou Yu was greatly interested, staring at Shen Huai with his chin in his hand, and wondered in his heart: How can this kid follow a young man?

Zhou Yu has been clean and self-conscious all these years, but she has come into contact with all kinds of men, and she is also clear about the teasing and ambiguous methods that men can play. However, Zhou Yu was also relieved, she didn't know that Shen Huai really wanted to hit the snake with the stick, what could she do?

"Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng are all from the city steel mill, and they have deep connections, they can't find out the specific news, can you still count on me?" Zhou Yu shook her head, not thinking that she could have any information sources that would be helpful to Shen Huai, "You have done Meigang so well, Gu Tong has no way to live." Although Gao Tianhe can still keep the city steel mill and other places at the moment, Tan Qiping will criticize the city steel mill when he has the opportunity. Think about it, on this point, how much pressure does Meigang put on the city steel mills? Other municipal enterprises still have excuses, the city steel mills are running on Meigang so much that they can't find any excuses, Gu Tong wants to admit that he is incompetent, or if he finally kicks out the city steel mills, he should do something......

Shen Huai pouted and smiled, and said: "If I can be a catfish, I would like to be more ferocious, even if those people dominate the position and don't let go, they are somewhat ashamed." ”

When Zhou Yu saw Shen Huai saying this with a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that maybe this was true in his heart, instead of simply not being afraid of the jealousy of others, he raised his hand to support his chin and looked at him with interest: "Are we talking about Meigang?"

"Meigang," Shen Huai said, "how Meigang wants to develop is based on the judgment of the future development of the domestic economy." There is a great deal of controversy in the country about how the total domestic steel production will rise to what kind of figure will be close to saturation. However, the consensus is that this figure is much higher than last year's total production of 70,000 kilotons. Meigang's annual production capacity has just exceeded 180,000 tons, and it can reach 200,000 tons with hard work. In my mind, though, this is the beginning. The Meixi power plant project is about to start, and if the 100,000 kilowatt thermal power plant finally supplies only one power to Meigang, even if the energy consumption plan per ton of steel at that time is used, Meigang's electric furnace steel can reach a scale of two million tons. ”

Half a year ago, Shen Huai said that he would develop Meigang to an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons within three years, which was already very shocking, and Xiong Wenbin and others would be suspicious; the Zhou family also hesitated for a long time, and only chose to cooperate with Shen Huai when there was really no other choice.

In less than half a year, Meigang completed the transformation of the electric furnace steel production line with only more than 30 million funds, and doubled the production capacity on the basis of the original design. The increase in production capacity, while diluting the cost of depreciation and labor, has greatly increased the profitability of Meigang. Meigang's monthly profit in the first half of the year has been maintained between 2.2 million and 2.5 million yuan, and by July, it jumped to 7 million in one fell swoop, which is unimaginable to ordinary people, and there is even the potential for further rise.

Meigang has become a gold-absorbing machine, and the construction of Meixi Port Wharf and the start of the power plant project have made people with a little industrial development vision see that Shen Huai's layout for the future development of Meigang is much grander than imagined, and no one will jump out to believe that Meigang can achieve 500,000 tons of steel scale in three years.

As long as Meigang can maintain such a scale of profitability, as long as there is another year, it will be able to accumulate nearly 100 million yuan of development funds, and then it will be relatively simple to raise funds from banks.

Meixi Power Plant Project Construction Funds are not responsible for Meigang for the time being, and it is extremely important to help Meigang save the consumption of early development funds. As long as three or two hundred million yuan is raised, Meigang will have another production line, and the annual production capacity will easily exceed 500,000 tons.

"Two million tons," Zhou Yu pursed his red lips and said with a smile, "If this is the case, I am afraid that not only the city steel mill will not like you, but even the provincial steel group will regard you as a thorn in the side, right? ”

"Reform and restructuring, isn't it necessary to achieve this effect in order to be considered successful?" Shen Huai asked with a smile.

The provincial steel group, that is, Huaihai Iron and Steel, has no signs of major projects in the past two years, and the annual output of steel is about 1.23 million tons, with annual sales of nearly 4 billion, and the annual profits and taxes can be two or three hundred million.

Provincial steel group can not squeeze into the ranks of domestic first-class steel enterprises, but the status in the province is quite superior, at least at present, there is no large enterprise in the province to pay more than their annual profits and taxes.

Provincial Iron and Steel Group can not be regarded as bad, after all, it can still pay two or three billion profits and taxes every year, and it can be regarded as a high-quality enterprise above the level line.

However, if the most high-quality state-owned enterprise in Huaihai Province is the Provincial Iron and Steel Group, it can only be said that the overall industrial development level of Huaihai Province is much behind that of other eastern provinces and cities.

The profit and tax level of Yandu Iron and Steel and Zhongyuan Iron and Steel per ton of steel are more than twice that of provincial steel.

If the overall market environment does not change much, Meigang's profits next year plus the total amount of taxes paid will reach 13,400,000, and the profit and tax level per ton of steel will exceed three times that of provincial steel.

Meigang is still small in scale, and its influence in the provincial steel industry is not large, so it cannot shake the leading position of the provincial steel group. Once Meigang's production capacity reaches 500,000 tons or even 1 million tons, and it can maintain such a high level of profits and taxes, the face of the Provincial Iron and Steel Group will not be so good-looking, and its status will become embarrassing.

"It's naturally a very cool thing to be able to make others lose face, and to make others have no way out," Shen Huai said softly, "However, the time for Meigang to develop at a high speed is still too short, and it is necessary to develop on a scale of 500,000 tons, 1 million tons or even more per year. Next year, we will go to another line, at least 300,000 tons, and we must plan now. In the past two years, prices have risen sharply, raw materials have risen, machinery and equipment have also risen, and before 90 years, 300,000 tons of electric furnace steel wire can be made with 200 million yuan, and by next year, I am afraid that 300 million or 400 million yuan will be invested. By the time the project was really launched, Meigang relied on profit accumulation, probably accumulating 60 million to 80 million funds, and there was still a gap of almost 300 million funds, which was sad......

"It's better to be worried than not to be worried," Zhou Yu smiled, looked at the gate of the community in front, and said, "I'll come down here......"
