By mid-May, the West Ommins Steelworks line had been largely dismantled, and the 36,000-ton steelmaking equipment was packed and transferred to London for loading

Although the British port workers went on strike in May, the relevant inspection and customs declaration work was forced to be suspended, and a large number of equipment were forced to stay in the port of London, but the first batch of equipment was completed before the large-scale strike was launched, and the inspection and other procedures were completed, and the ship was shipped to China

At the same time, after the completion of the equipment dismantling work, David Allen, general manager of the Birmingham Steel Mill of West Ommins Industrial Group, and others, together with the Birmingham economic and trade delegation, accepted the invitation of Shenhuai and Tangzha District Investment Promotion Bureau to visit Donghua

In late May, the first batch of equipment shipped by the British shipping company arrived at the Meixi Port Terminal, which was also the first time after the completion of the Meixi Port Terminal that a 30,000-ton ship was tried to dock when the water level of the Zhujiang River was high

Whether it is from the construction of Meigang Plant, the development of Meixi Port and the economic development of Southeast China driven by Meixi Port Industrial Park, this can be said to be the stage of entry

Huaihai Province is relatively lagging behind in the work of attracting investment, and there is a rare precedent in Huaihai Province for inviting a number of investors from industrially developed areas to enter the country at the same time in the form of economic and trade delegations to inspect the investment environment

In addition to the extra attention given by Donghua City, Vice Governor Song Bingsheng also came to Donghua on 28 May to meet with members of the economic and trade delegation on behalf of the provincial party committee and government

After the completion of the foundation pile foundation project, it is necessary to install large structural parts first, so the first batch of steelmaking equipment delivered to China are coarse and bulky structural parts

Some structural parts, even after the split, still span as long as twenty or thirty meters, weighing more than tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons, which is a big test for the establishment of the Meixi Port Company

When management can't keep up, the unloading site will inevitably look a little messy

At the same time, these large structural parts cannot be packed, and there is no need for special fine protection when dismantling and shipping, and they will inevitably look rusty and unsightly when they are exposed to the external environment for several months

The relatively ugly scene caused a lot of discussion among the officials who accompanied the visit:

"This batch of broken copper and iron, transported to China, can it be reassembled into a production line, don't it be deceived by the British?"

"Whether it can be done or not, the key is that this batch of equipment is cheap, and I heard that it is a little more expensive than scrap steel."

"Cheap? Do you think it's all over when you buy the equipment? I have heard that in the future, British engineers will be invited to debug, which is different from in China, where an engineer is killed for 1,000 yuan a month; if an engineer is hired, a person will spend tens of thousands of dollars a month to buy equipment, not to mention, and he will have to import relevant technology from Britain, and this cost will be millions of dollars; even if it is shipped back to China, it will be reported to the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission by the British shipping company Meigang, and it is said that after the factory is built, the foreign exchange paid to the British will cost almost 30 million US dollars, which is cheaper? In this world, there has always been only the wrong buy, there is no reason to sell by mistake, do you think the British are all fools, give you the equipment for nothing?"

"Yes, I heard that these are all equipment to be scrapped in the UK, but how to say, who is going to the place now, doesn't it first prop up the scene? As long as the scene is good-looking and the political achievements are there, who cares whether the factory can be built in the future, whether it can be run after completion, and whether it makes money to run?"

Song Wenhui glanced back, most of these open-mouthed officials in the back were talking about it in the economic and trade system of Huaihai Province, as if they were hiding their self-righteous dirty things in the transaction with Xi Youmins

Song Wenhui noticed that the fourth brother's face was ugly, as if he was holding back his temperament and carried out the scheduled visit first

The province asked Song Bingsheng to lead the team to Donghua this time, which can be said to be out of some kind of goodwill

During this period of time, Donghua did develop very economically, which was directly related to the large-scale and root-based infiltration of the Song system into the Donghua area, and the existing achievements of the Meixi Port Industrial Park were directly promoted by Shen Huai

Other people in the province didn't know the relationship between Shen Huai and Song Bingsheng, but Tian Jiageng and Zhao Qiuhua knew that letting Song Bingsheng lead the team down could also be said to be a show of goodwill to the Song family, and they didn't care how much the Song family's power was strengthened in this corner of Donghua

It's just that Song Bingsheng was in charge of the provincial agricultural work before, and he couldn't manage the economic and trade system, but this time, when he asked British investors to discuss cooperation, the officials of the provincial economic and trade commission naturally had to have some officials accompany him

The officials of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, although they respect Song Bingsheng as the vice governor, but the officials are not as good as the governor, and they don't have much awe for Song Bingsheng, so they discuss any topic relatively casually, and they are not afraid that Song Bingsheng will be given small shoes if they accidentally offend him

Of course, if they knew about Song Bingsheng's relationship with Shen Huai and Meixigang Industrial Park, they would be somewhat restrained because they didn't know, so the teasing tone between them was a bit unscrupulous, and they didn't care about the feelings of local officials at all, and they were even jealous of Shen Huai and other local officials

As far as the officials of the provincial economic and trade system are concerned, Shen Huai and other officials in Meixi Town are much younger than them, and they are already deputy departments and department officials; while the local deputy departments and departments are obviously much more powerful than the departments and departments of the provincial organs, and they can get much more benefits.

Song Wenhui looked at Shen Huai again, Shen Huai looked at the vast Jiangtian outside the dock with his hands in his hands, and seemed to be deaf to the comments of these people, and he didn't mean to see his father's face

Song Wenhui sighed in her heart, for officials who don't know how to do it, seeing such a large number of rusty structural parts, scattered on the dock, anyone who changes will be cold in their hearts, and probably will be pessimistic and disappointed in the prospects of Meigang Steel Plant from the bottom of their hearts, but it is obviously a difficult and thankless thing to let officials who don't know how to understand the operation of the industrial system

Tan Qiping accompanied Song Bingsheng and others to board the bulk ship of the British Shipping Company to visit, Song Wenhui took a step behind, and said to Shen Huai in a suppressed voice: "My sister-in-law may have done you a disservice this time......

Shen Huai smiled and said: "After Meigang is completed in the factory, it will be able to prove itself, and it will not be bad for a year and a half later, this will also let some officials who used to only sit in the office know that some things are more complicated than what they see on the surface, sister-in-law, do you think this can also be regarded as a good thing?"

Song Wenhui smiled, knowing that the matter had come to an end, and it was impossible to regret it, so she could only look forward

Sun Yalin pouted, Shen Huai originally did not agree to let the provincial officials come over to visit the operation site

For people who know the details of the operation of the industrial system,Even if you remove a color TV shell,You can see the beauty in the face of a pair of parts, but for another part of the people,They can only look at the bright shell,If they see the scattered parts inside,It's a hell of a cold heart

Now most of the steelmaking line, nearly 20,000 tons, nearly 10,000 structural parts, are stacked on the open yard of the wharf, and it is a miracle that the scene can be beautiful

However, Song Wenhui didn't think too much about it at first, but thought about enthusiastically and doing everything possible to ease the tense father-son relationship between Shen Huai and Song Bingsheng, hoping that Song Bingsheng saw that Shen Huai had worked in Meixi Town for less than two years and had made such great achievements that he could change his impression of Shen Huai, and advocated arranging a visit to Meixi Town more deeply, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect

These large structural parts, in the process of disassembly and transportation for up to four or five months, it is impossible to carry out fine protection.

However, as long as the degree of corrosion of these large structural parts is controllable, they can be put into use after arriving at the construction site, and then carried out rust removal and anti-rust treatment

This will save a lot of construction time for the construction of Meigang Plant

An annual production capacity of 600,000 tons of steel plant, usually the construction period takes more than two years, although the final construction funds of Meigang Iron and Steel Plant may not be much less, but the key construction period can be shortened by nearly half, and the time and benefits saved are worth half of the plant, but these, with people who do not know how to explain, is not clear, what they can see is just a pile of rusty broken copper and iron in front of them

Song Bingsheng held back the unhappiness in his heart, and after visiting the wharf operation, the subsequent visit also ended hastily, but returned to Shangxi Garden to rest and eat

When there were only a few people left in the room, such as Tan Qiping, Song Wenhui, Liu Weili, Pan Shihua, Hu Shuwei, Su Kaiwen, etc., Song Bingsheng couldn't help but ask Tan Qiping: "Old Tan, what do you think of the Meigang Mill project?"

Tan Qiping just smiled and said: "It's nothing, reform and opening up is to cross the river by feeling the stones, even if you fail, you can learn a lesson, even if you pay tuition......"

What can he say? He opposed Shen Huai's construction of the Mei Steel Mill from the very beginning, but Shen Huai insisted on going his own way, had no intention of arguing with the opinions of the district and the city, and started a new stove, and he could not force the pressure on him, so he could only say some cool things at this time

"The tuition fee of 600 million is too expensive," Song Bingsheng sighed

"It's too early to draw conclusions now?" Song Wenhui couldn't help but defend Shen Huai

"Tian and Zhao, who doesn't want to see the jokes of the Song family, let me come down to inspect this time, how can I have good intentions?" Song Bingsheng listened to the officials below teasing and discussing for a long time, but he couldn't put on a face, and his heart was also on fire for a long time, and when he heard that his little sister Song Wenhui was still biased towards Shen Huai at this time, he couldn't help but complain, "In this way, the pace of the Huaineng Group is still a little smaller, for the better of our country, we can't afford to pay so many tuition, and the Song family can't have so many jokes to show others......"

Song Wenhui was also depressed, and it was not good to go back in person, so she asked the fourth brother not to meddle in the internal affairs of Dongdian, and looked away with a somewhat ugly face

"I'll say two things,"

Shen Huai put on a face for a long time, he could hold back his unhappiness in his heart, but his father's words were too heavy and excessive, and he directly denied Meixi Town's work achievements during this period in front of Tan Qiping, Pan Shihua, Liu Weili and others, and he couldn't turn a blind eye

If he doesn't speak at this time, it's hard to say whether Pan Shihua and they will use chicken feathers as arrows to suppress the development pace of Meixi Town, but when this incident comes out, it will be a direct blow to Meixi's morale, and Meigang Steel Plant will continue to borrow construction funds from provincial and municipal banking institutions, which will also be seriously affected.

Shen Huai pressed his hand on the table and said,

"First, the construction of Meigang Plant, is currently the first in the operation of Meigang, so only need to be responsible for investors, and do not need to be responsible for local governments, which is also a major purpose of the State Council and the provincial party committee and provincial government to promote enterprise restructuring, we want to build a modern enterprise system with clear property rights and clear rights and responsibilities......

As soon as Shen Huai's words came out, Song Bingsheng's face turned blue with anger
