Chapter 735: Stirring up the pool

Meigang led the construction of Shimen's steel logistics and processing park project, and the conditions are far from mature in all aspects.

After the completion of the Xinpu Steel Plant, Meigang has become one of the top ten steel conglomerates, and next year's crude steel output will stabilize between 5.5 million and 6 million tons.

After the reduction of the steelmaking department, the foundry and other heavy industry departments in Liverpool, Birmingham and other places in the United Kingdom will not be transferred to China for the time being, and the blank steel required will be mainly provided by Meigang. Due to the disparity in steelmaking costs between the two places, Sioumins Industrial Group was able to reduce procurement costs, while Meigang was able to obtain higher export profits.

Through overseas distributors such as Feiqi Industrial, Meigang has formed a certain export of steel for building materials to Western Europe, with high profits, and will further expand exports to Western Europe and other overseas regions in the future.

In addition, Meigang is now mainly to open up the market along the Huaihai Bay and East China, even if it wants to close to the competitors, the first to suppress is the Huaihai Provincial Iron and Steel Group; the markets in Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin are geographically far away from the Huaihai, the transportation cost is high, and the market channels are narrow, and Meigang is currently mainly infiltrating these areas on a small scale, and there is no plan to enter on a large scale.

Shen Huai and Meigang's senior management have a clear understanding of this point, and they also clearly hope that Yang Haipeng will come to Shimen to help bluff and stir up this pool of stagnant water, and have no intention of leading the construction of Shimen Iron and Steel Logistics and Processing Park project with great fanfare.

Large steel enterprises such as Yangang and Luangang, which occupy the main position in the steel market in North China such as Jinji City, Tianjin and Tianjin, may not be able to see through the bottom of Meigang, and may not think so.

Meigang from a little-known local small steel enterprise, to become one of the top ten domestic iron and steel conglomerates, it took only four years, this process is to make the vast majority of enterprises in the industry are dumbfounded, caught off guard.

If Meigang now announces that it will launch a larger-scale Xinpu Steel Plant Phase II project, although the industry will be skeptical, but who would dare to ignore it?

There is no need for Meigang to announce anything, as long as it makes a big move into the North China steel market, it is destined to induce endless associations and suspicions in the industry.

In the past few years, the domestic steel market demand gap is large, and everyone has lived a good life for several years, but with the acceleration of investment in the steel industry in the past two years, and the reduction of the market demand gap this year, the situation of the entire steel industry is far less optimistic than in the past.

If Meigang wants to launch a larger-scale Xinpu Steel Plant Phase II project, and will release the production capacity of the second phase of Xinpu Steel Plant that may exceed four or five million tons to the North China market.

Cheng Wenguang regards Shen Huai as his quasi-son-in-law, and he gets along more casually, Ji Chengxi and Yu Wenfei came to the house for dinner at night, and Cheng Wenguang still took the time to rush home to accompany him to dinner. Hearing the twists and turns behind the Shimen Iron and Steel Logistics and Processing Park project, Ji Chengxi slapped the table at the dinner table and exclaimed:

"This move is amazing! One move can turn the whole situation up. ”

Shen Huai smiled bitterly and glanced at Cheng Wenguang, he knew that this move was good, but Ji Chengxi was so excited to applaud and applaud, it was obviously not simply applauded and wonderful.

Ji Chengxi continued: "I have been in Qinghe for two years, and I have first-hand experience of the serious imbalance between the north and the south of the economy of Hebei Province. There is a large port in the north, the second largest rich iron ore resources in the country, coal, and a heavy industry base accumulated in the past 100 years, and the conditions are superior to those in southern Hebei in all aspects. In order to protect the interests of the local government and a small number of people, the part of the value-added tax left by the local government in northern Hebei and some people in northern Hebei Province was also intercepted at the prefectural and municipal levels, and the provincial finance could not be shared, which means that the central and southern Hebei regions could not get financial support from the northern Hebei region while lacking resources and industrial base. And the geographical connection between the central and southern Jin Dynasty and the northern Hebei region, and the two municipalities directly under the central government of Beijing and Tianjin are cut, and they cannot take advantage of the development of a large region, and the economy will naturally fall into a dead silence - it is not easy to stir up this situation, I think Uncle Cheng must also have this problem, right?"

Cheng Wenguang said with a smile: "I have only been in Hebei Province for two days, and my feelings are not as deep as yours. ”

Although this idea was discussed by Cheng Wenguang and Shen Huai, it was not easy for Ji Chengxi to make further statements to Cheng Wenguang at this time.

Ji Chengxi didn't go around in any circles, and he also knew that Shen Huai was very busy, and he missed this exchange opportunity, and he didn't know how long it would take to meet again, and said: "In order to have a better effect on the situation, Huai Neng will still have to build a ...... at the coal conveying terminal in the Ji River."

Shen Huai glanced at Cheng Wenguang, and didn't know whether to tell Ji Chengxi about Ye Xuanfeng's private contact with Sun Qiyi.

Ji Chengxi seemed to know some twists and turns, and when he saw the hesitation in Shen Huai's eyes, he said, "If there are some things that you don't want to say, I can go to Ye Xuanfeng." The integration of the coal terminal and the steel logistics and processing base into one large project is very important to the economic development of Qinghe City. ”

"In fact, the continuation of the coal terminal will be handed over to a third party to take over, and they can still cooperate with each other to do a lot of work, except that the progress of the project is difficult to grasp, it should not have much impact on the development of Qinghe City," Shen Huai said, "Of course, there may be some factors that I have not seen......

Ji Chengxi shook his head and smiled, and said to Cheng Wenguang: "Uncle Cheng, some people say that Shen Huai is very aggressive in doing things, but I think he is more cunning than anyone else. ”

Cheng Wenguang smiled and asked, "That means that Shen Huai didn't guess wrong?"

"It's not about guessing right or wrong, I went back to Yanjing two days ago, and I just got a little news, so I plan to come over today to ......share it with Uncle Cheng and Shen Huai," Ji Chengxi said.

"What kind of gossip?" Shen Huai was naturally interested in the gossip that Ji Chengxi could listen to, but Cheng Wenguang didn't know.

"Yangang's expansion plan in Shijingshan is called Wang Yuan's no," Ji Chengxi said, "Of course, Wang Yuan's instructions have not yet reached the Planning Commission, and it is uncertain whether there will be a turnaround." ”

"It is estimated that there will be no more variables," Cheng Wenguang is very familiar with the situation of Yangang, even if he can't know Wang Yuan's instructions in advance, he can infer that Ji Chengxi's source has no problem, and said, "Yanjing's environmental pressure is too great, and Yangang's expansion plan in Shijingshan has been delayed for several years, and it is time to make a conclusion." However, in this case, it is really necessary to increase the chips on the Qinghe side......"

Ji Chengxi laughed and said, "I knew that Uncle Cheng would want to go with me." ”

Shen Huai only smiled bitterly and said, "In this case, won't Mei Gang really become a cocoon and bind himself?"

Cheng Yi sat beside Shen Huai, pulled his sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "I can still understand what you said at the beginning;

Shen Huai explained to Cheng Yi: "Due to the topography and climate of Yanjing, the environmental capacity is small, and the development of the city is paved with a large pie, and the space left for the development of heavy industry in the suburban areas in the future will be less and less." Yangang has formed a production capacity of 8 million tons since 91 years, and since then, due to environmental problems, the expansion plan in Shijingshan has not been approved. If the Yangang expansion plan is completely rejected by Premier Wang Yuan, the future development path for Yangang can only be to find another place to build a new factory - Cheng Xi and your father are considering whether they can pull Yangang's new plant project to Qinghe......

Hearing Shen Huai's explanation, Yu Wenli on the side also suddenly realized. She looked at Yang Haipeng and Wang Weicheng, who were sitting opposite, although they were a little restrained and did not take the initiative to interject, but their faces were calm, presumably they had always been able to keep up with Shen Huai's train of thought, and they also secretly felt that the talents who came out of the corner were really not to be underestimated.

After listening to Shen Huai's explanation, Cheng Yi said to him with a smile: "Then you really sold yourself, and you have to help my father and Cheng Xi count the money......

"Isn't that right?" Shen Huai said, "Mei Gang is really at a loss......

"Uncle Cheng lost such a big girl, where did you suffer?" Ji Chengxi joked.

Cheng Yi's face was slightly red, and she didn't deny it, and the flowers in the room were all there, and she couldn't explain it if she wanted to.

"There is pressure to be motivated," Cheng Wenguang said, "enterprises ultimately have to rely on competitiveness to survive, and in the future, the domestic market can accommodate seven or eight super-large steel conglomerates, and there is no problem......

Cheng Wenguang's appointment in Ji Province, including the Ji family's promotion of Cheng Wenguang to serve in Ji Province behind the scenes, is expected to be pinned on him, so he hopes to revitalize the economic development of southern Hebei with his hand and activate this pool of stagnant water.

The Ji family does not even expect Cheng Wenguang to directly introduce a policy in Hebei Province to build a large tendency to the southern line of Shanxi and the Hebei River port, which will make the Ji family look ugly, but as long as the stagnant water in southern Hebei can be stirred up, the local resources will be mobilized, and the peripheral resources will be more actively entered, which will naturally be beneficial to the southern line project of Shanxi coal eastward, and can also allow the Ji family to gather more interests in the southern line project.

The Shimen Iron and Steel Logistics and Processing Park project will attract the attention of forces such as Luangang, Yangang and Jinshi Group behind Shimen Iron and Steel to Shimen, and will also attract their attention to Qinghe.

Qinghe is at the same latitude as Shimen, and the Jinnan line currently under construction, also known as the Jishichi heavy-haul railway, leads out from the railway network in the central and southern part of Jin Province, enters Hebei Province through Taihang Mountain, passes through Shimen City, and arrives at Jihe Port. After completion, the coal in the central and southern regions of Shanxi will continue to pass through heavy-duty trains, from Jihe Port to the sea, to East China, South China and other regions.

Along this heavy-haul railway line across the hinterland of Shanxi and Hebei, Meigang's outpost position into the North China market is Jihe Port.

If Shimen is the last position for steel giants such as Luan Iron and Steel and Yangang to block Meigang from entering the North China market, if Yangang and Luangang's actions and postures can be more active, then the blocking position should be built directly in Qinghe, so that Meigang is difficult to go ashore in the North China market.

If Meigang has won comprehensive development projects such as the continuation of coal terminals, steel logistics and processing parks in Jihe, then for Yangang, it is destined to build a new plant in another place in its expansion plan in Shijingshan, Yanjing, and the new plant will be built directly in Jihe, which can take into account the advantages of market occupation and cost control.

Cheng Wenguang and Ji Chengxi actually asked Shen Huai to cooperate with them to pull Yangang's new factory project to Qinghe.

Yangang formed a production capacity of 8 million tons as early as 91 and 92, and at that time, taking into account the environmental problems in the suburbs of Yanjing, there were plans to choose a place to build a new plant along the Bohai Bay area, and even acquired iron ore resources in South America earlier than 92, but before that, Qinghe was not the first choice for Yangang to build a new plant.

Yangang's new plant project will not be less than three million tons of production capacity, if this project can be pulled to Qinghe, and even considering that Yangang may move out of Yanjing as a whole in the future, this project will be of great significance to Qinghe and the future development of central and southern Hebei.

However, this matter is not particularly beneficial to Meigang, and even the difficulty of entering the North China market will be doubled in the future.
