Chapter 472: The Gap

"I have a copy of the material I just got from the United States, you can take a look. Sun Yalin took out a few pages of document paper from her bag and stuffed them in front of Shen Huai.

Shen Huai took it, and saw that the fax was densely packed with a list of enterprises, and asked Sun Yalin: "What is this?"

"This is the list of the world's top 500 companies that Fortune magazine plans to put out this year," Sun Yalin said, "to show you why little Japan has been particularly proud in the past two years." ”

Hearing Sun Yalin say this, everyone else became interested; Xiao Haomin sat next to Shen Huai, and also leaned over to look - although he has not been in contact with foreign languages for many years, he still has a foundation, just the names of the top four companies on the list, he can't understand it at all, and asked: "What kind of companies are these, the English names are so weird......"

"Mitsubishi is Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui is Mitsui & Co., Itochu is Itochu Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation, these four are all large conglomerates of the Japanese general trading company," Xiao Haomin has been nesting in Yushan for many years, with closed information, and has little attention to the world economy and super enterprises, and it is not a strange thing not to know the English name of Japanese companies, Shen Huai patiently explained to him a little, but he briefly skimmed the first two pages of faxes, and sighed, " In this way, Japan accounts for 6 of the 10 largest companies in the world, so it is not possible for the Japanese to be arrogant. ”

The fax was twenty or thirty pages, and Shen Huai didn't find Yasuda in the first two pages, so he asked Sun Yalin directly: "How many places does the Yasuda Foundation rank......

"Here," Sun Yalin did her homework in advance, turned the fax back two pages, and directly pointed out to Shen Huai the ranking of Yasuda Commercial.

"Yasuda's total operating income in the ninety-five years is 60 billion yuan, which is equivalent to the total industrial and commercial output value of Huaihai Province," Shen Huai gasped and sighed, "We are really a little far behind." ”

Everyone sitting around the table knew that the 60 billion yuan Shen Huai was talking about was US dollars, not renminbi, and it was really frustrating to think that the total output value of industrial merchants in Huaihai Province for the whole year was not even comparable to that of a Japanese company.

Shen Huai threw the materials to Zhou Zhibai, who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "There's pressure." ”

Zhou Zhibai smiled bitterly: "You are really good at hitting people's hearts, can I refuse to read this material?"

With the rise of Meigang, Pengyue, Zhujiang Construction, Penghai Trade, etc., the performance of ninety-five years has been greatly improved - Pengyue's charge trade has risen from hundreds or thousands of tons per month to 40,000 tons per month, almost every moment is improving, and there is a big leap every once in a while.

Zhou Zhibai expects that Pengyue's total furnace trade this year can reach 800 million, and Pengyue Group will also enter the list of large enterprises with revenues of more than one billion; and Pengyue in addition to traditional businesses such as trade and hotels, in addition to participating in Zhujiang investment, it has also begun to involve ocean shipping - if it is not for the list of the so-called Fortune 500 companies, Pengyue has today's achievements are enough to inspire and make people proud.

Zhou Zhibai really doesn't want to look at the list of the world's top 500 companies to find it unpleasant, and the absolute gap does not mean that you can make up for it immediately if you are ambitious.

"It's not right to blindly compare," Yang Haipeng had a good attitude, took the fax with a smile, and asked Sun Yalin, "Is there any domestic company in the top 500?

"Yes, the China National Grain and Oil Import and Export Corporation, last year's revenue was about 10 billion US dollars, just over a little bit, and it barely squeezed in, about 480 people," Sun Yalin said, "The total revenue of the Evergreen Group last year was only 5 billion US dollars, and it is still far from being on the list." If there is no determination to transform its business, Evergreen Group will never want to enter the ranks of the top 500 in this life. ”

Hearing Sun Yalin's word "talent", Xiao Haomin almost flashed his waist.

In addition to his studies, Xiao Haomin has lived in Yuanshan for most of his life, and in his opinion, not to mention the top 500, even the Evergreen Group, which has an annual revenue of more than 40 billion yuan, is also out of reach.

In 95 years, the total industrial and agricultural output value of Yushan County was only 3 billion yuan, and the economic scale of an enterprise was equivalent to 15 or 6 Yuanshan County.

How much can Meigang's output value achieve this year, 2 billion or 3 billion? Can Meixi Town's industrial output value exceed 10 billion yuan in the next two years?

In Xiao Haomin's view, if the total industrial output value of Meixi Town can exceed 10 billion yuan in one or two years, it can be said to be an incredible miracle in the history of Donghua - he dare not expect more.

However, to measure it on a national scale, there is only one company in a large country with a population of 1.2 billion that is among the world's top 500, and it is still ranked in the bottom ten - this is a little difficult for Xiao Haomin to accept.

Is China really so bad, so backward?

Shut down

The vast majority of domestic private enterprises are very weak, needless to say, what about those large state-owned enterprises?

For example, Southeast Electric Power Construction, the parent company of Huaineng Group, has more than 100,000 employees, and even those enterprises with a larger total number of employees, seem to be so unattainable, and they do not even have the strength to enter the world's top 500?

"It's all in foreign languages, and I can still receive some foreign language materials in Shigang, but I have lost them all in the past few years. Yang Haipeng flipped through a few pages of materials, all in English, so that he could see the big head, and returned the fax to Shen Huai.

"You have an English background, and you can go to the UK with Zhou Zhibai for two more trips, and you can make up for it quickly," Shen Huai took the fax and flipped a few pages at random before letting Sun Yalin put away the materials, and said with a smile, "Actually, we don't have to be too frustrated, these Japanese consortia are all comprehensive trading companies, which look unmatched, and in fact, they have also twisted together several super-large enterprises to form such a huge scale." Now China is actually considering whether to learn from the model of Japan and South Korea and set up a central enterprise with a comprehensive trading company model. If you really want to do this, it will not be a problem for the Ministry of Electric Power to twist together the main power assets under its jurisdiction to form one or two super-large enterprises, and squeeze into the world's top 500 companies in terms of asset scale. If we dismantle the behemoths of the Japanese consortium to analyze and find the target we should focus on, Fuji Steel, which produces 16 million tons of steel per year, is not as far out of reach as imagined, even if its strength is much stronger than that of Meigang. Of course, our next goal is to ride the provincial steel under the straddle first......"

"Also, it's easy to get frustrated if you think too much, Meigang's next goal is to press the provincial steel under the straddle and struggle," Yang Haipeng is now wide and fat, took Shen Huai's words, smiled and said, "It's already very inspiring to think that this goal can be achieved." ”

"Meigang's next goal is to directly surpass the provincial steel?" Xiao Haomin asked in surprise, "County Magistrate Shen said that he would leave Yuanshan in the near future, but it turned out that he was only leaving Yuanshan, not Donghua......"

"Whether I will leave Donghua or not, it's still uncertain," Shen Huai shook his head and said, "It's also possible that some people don't want me to stay in Donghua, so I can only leave Donghua." ”

Listening to Shen Huai's words was like playing a dumb riddle, Xiao Haomin was full of doubts in his heart, but it was inconvenient to ask - he knew that what he heard now could be said to be the core secret of the Meigang department, if he hadn't made up his mind before and was willing to give up the position of the mayor of Dongyu Town and serve as the director of the government office in the county, he would not have had the opportunity to sit at the same table with everyone in the Meigang department.

It's just that Xiao Haomin secretly wondered in his heart, how can Mei Gang press the provincial steel under him next?

After the provincial steel and municipal steel were organized, it proposed to jointly build a large-scale electric furnace steel project with Evergreen Group and Fuji Steel, and the output value will likely directly cross the threshold of 10 billion.

How can Meigang surpass the provincial steel?

Shen Huai did not explain in detail the doubts in Xiao Haomin's heart, and asked Sun Yalin sideways: "Hu Shuwei took the expert group to Jihe County to confirm all the relevant materials. Even if you don't consider the driving force behind it, from the perspective of the national energy layout, the Shanxi Coal East South Line Project will start sooner or later. It is appropriate for Huaineng to invest in the construction of a coal transfer terminal in the Jihe River now. I want to stay in the party school for training classes and sign a framework agreement with Jihe County, and I need more heavyweights to support the scene, do you want to accompany my sister-in-law and Hu Shuwei on a trip?"

Shen Huai is not completely sure that he will be able to continue to stay in Donghua now, but the situation is already like this, and there are some steps that must be continued.

"I didn't take a breath when I went back to Meixi," Sun Yalin said with a frown, "The construction of a coal transfer terminal on the other side of the Ji River is also led by Huaineng, I used to be a foil, what kind of heavyweight is it?"

"You'd better go for a trip, why don't we put out the big frame in the north first, otherwise we won't be able to bluff people,"

When Shen Huai said this, he couldn't help but hold the edge of the table with his hand, and said to Zhou Zhibai and Chu Yiliang:

"There is no turning back from this bow, if we really can't stay in Donghua, then the Jihe River will become our main battlefield. Zhibai, Haipeng, Lao Zhu, Lao Yu, you all went over this time and had more contact with people from the Jihe River. Even if we can get our wish, there are still some advantageous resources on the Jihe River that can be invested and cooperated. You need to be more open-minded, even if the focus will be on Donghua for a long time in the future, but that doesn't mean we can't try to go out first. Song Hongjun's side, I will also call and keep an eye on him. ”

Yu Yiliang, Zhu Li, and Zhou Zhibai all nodded and agreed, and this time they went to Jihe together.

Shen Huai looked at his watch, saw that it was already late, and said, "Then that's it for today, I'll talk to Ji Chengxi on the phone later." ”

Shen Huai went to Chen Dan's office and called Ji Chengxi to tell him the specific personnel arrangements for going to Jihe County to participate in the economic and trade negotiations.

The focus of Huaineng Group's future business development is the energy market dominated by thermal power generation, and the industrial chain extends upstream, which naturally involves the development, trade and transportation of coal - only limited funds, how to balance the use.

After Shen Huai returned to China, he went south from Yanjing, intercepted Ji Chengxi halfway, and talked for several days in Jihe County about the project of the southern line of Shanxi coal from the east and the development of Jihe County's own port industry.

After leaving Jihe County, Shen Huai went directly to Jiangning to find his sister-in-law Song Wenhui and the senior management of Dongdian to discuss the investment in the construction of a coal-fired transfer terminal in Jihe County.

Huaineng Group is still very weak for the time being, and its business is directly guided by Dongdian, and its strength is not strong - but in the promotion of Song Wenhui, Dongdian has not delayed, and directly sent people to Jihe to contact and investigate, and plans to build a coal yard and two 10,000-ton seaport terminals in Jihe with Zhongxin Investment, Zhujiang Investment, Hongji Investment and other institutions.

After the completion of the construction of the relevant projects, it will provide 4 million tons of coal per year for the power plants of Huaineng Group through the mode of road transportation and seaport transshipment, which will also become an integral part of the future Shanxi Coal East to South Line Project.

The entire investment, including the acquisition of the Jihe Provincial Thermal Power Plant, is planned to cost 300 million yuan.

After the formal signing of the framework agreement with Jihe County, the relevant news will be announced to the public.
