Although Song Wenhui has not directly seen what Donghua Steel looked like four years ago, Donghua Steel has collapsed little by little in the past four years, until it finally collapsed and reorganized Huaihai Steel Group, Song Wenhui is clear about this process.

Donghua City Steel finally to the provincial steel merger and reorganization, debt-ridden, decades of development, net assets tossed to less than 100 million, the province of steel did not pay too much price to Donghua City in the end, almost for nothing to get seven or eight hundred thousand tons of production capacity and the corresponding market, but also bear nearly 500 million debts.

It must be said that four years ago, Donghua City's steel was worth 2 billion, and it was impossible to convince others.

Although Donghua Steel no longer exists, the steel industry in Donghua City, which will reach a maximum capacity of 6 million tons next year, can be said to have hatched from the remains of Donghua Steel, and from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Donghua Steel was worth 2 billion four years ago.

The rise of Meigang is directly related to the flow of a large number of talents with expertise in technology and management such as Zhao Dong and Pan Cheng from Shigang.

Shen Huai has the ability, vision, and courage, but he is not a god, without the support of Zhao Dong and a large number of backbones flowing from the city, not to mention the Meigang No. 2 Plant and the current Xinpu Steel Mill project, the No. 1 plant may not be able to rise. Even before Shen Huai became the owner of Meigang, Xu Xiting and others, who cultivated a group of technical and management forces and laid a certain foundation for Meigang in the early days, were also seconded from Donghua Iron and Steel at the earliest.

Pengyue Group, controlled by the Zhou family, was also the first to start with the scrap charge trade with Shigang Steel, and after laying the foundation, it gradually developed to the current scale, and the current main business is still the charge trade and many investments in the steel industry.

The predecessor of Huailian Heavy Industry, the City Forging Factory, was only the forging workshop of the City Steel before the seventies. Including Donghua City at this time in the field of steel refining, steel trade, logistics formed a number of state-owned, collective or private enterprises that have begun to take shape, all of which are inextricably linked with the city of steel.

After Tan Qiping was forced to leave, Xiong Wenbin jumped directly from the director of the Municipal Research Office, jumped over the ordinary deputy prefecture and city level, and directly entered the Standing Committee, and concurrently served as the executive deputy mayor and the secretary of the Tangzha District Party Committee, which can be said to be a rocket-like promotion.

However, Xiong Wenbin was able to sit in this position and be recognized by the province, in addition to being one of the agents of Meigang's department in the city, the main reason was his inseparable connection with Shigang.

Among so many people here, perhaps Song Tong's feelings about Shigang are shallow.

Zhou Zhibai, Yang Haipeng, Chu Yiliang, Xiong Wenbin, Guo Quan, Hu Shuwei, Chen Dan, Sun Yalin, Song Hongjun and Song Wenhui do not need Shen Huai to explain a word to understand the meaning of "the city steel is worth two billion" four years ago.

"Can the value of the Xucheng refinery be compared to Donghua Steel four years ago?" Song Hongjun asked.

"It's only high, not low," Shen Huai said, "Li Gu is anxious, but he is anxious to separate the Song family, so he shouldn't have thought carefully about the purpose of my sword against the Xucheng Oil Refinery, but he may not be able to hide it from Tian and Xu." To be honest, if it weren't for this incident, I never thought that Meigang would be able to take over the Xucheng Refinery......"

Xiong Wenbin sighed lightly and said: "We must learn from the port industry development model of Japan and South Korea, there are three points that we are most worth learning, one is steel, one is shipbuilding, and one is refining. Donghua iron and steel industry by the city of steel to lay a good foundation, the shipbuilding industry we are trying to do some work, but Donghua in refining, is really lacking in the foundation. To be honest, I'm now very worried that Secretary Tian Jiageng and Secretary Xu Pei may not agree to let Meigang take over the Xucheng Oil Refinery, but I have to admit that this temptation is very great. But if it were me, I wouldn't have dared to reach out for this one......"

Although Xiong Wenbin frankly admits that he does not have the courage of Shen Huai to move forward bravely and fight for life from a narrow predicament, he can understand Shen Huai's intentions more thoroughly and quickly than anyone else - just by virtue of this, Song Wenhui is still impressed, thinking that the breadth and depth of her understanding of the entire large industrial system is still not easy to compare with Xiong Wenbin.

Local talents really can't be underestimated and ignored.

After Tan Qiping was forced to leave, Shen Huai pushed Xiong Wenbin out of the firing line and occupied the most critical seat of the Meigang department in the city, which can also be said to be the most important seat of the Meigang department on the bright side, and even Yang Yuquan's status was slightly less than Xiong Wenbin's - Song Wenhui was still a little worried about this at first, afraid that Shen Huai's overly rapid personnel arrangements would induce unnecessary contradictions within the Meigang department.

And then the facts proved that Yang Yuquan, as well as Wu Haifeng and others behind him, did not show any dissatisfaction with such a personnel arrangement. Song Wenhui was still a little puzzled about this at first, but now it seems that Shen Huai's grasp of people is still more accurate than she imagined.

It's just that no one can understand it, including Xiong Wenbin himself, Shen Huai's comprehension of the large industrial system actually comes from his teacher's heritage.

"If it's just a shell, it's a bit of a big gamble," Song Hongjun took a breath and said, "If you have to refine oil in Xucheng, you can incubate a regional industry like Donghua Steel, it's worth fighting......!

"Yes, it's me who eats it alive anyway, and you're happy to watch the show on the sidelines, right?" Shen Huai teased.

"You can't say that about me," Song Hongjun smiled shyly, "I'm worried that you're angry today, and I'm going to take all the girls in Xucheng tonight to relieve your boredom......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Song Wenhui stopped Song Hongjun from talking nonsense with a straight face, on today's occasion, the Xucheng Oil Refinery is worth fighting, and it can also be said that Shen Huai's quick wit is actually higher than Li Gu, but it is still unknown whether he can fight it.

Li Gu's vision may be slightly worse, and he is not refined enough to be sophisticated, but Tian Jiageng and Xu Pei are the cadres of the Department of Economics.

Shut down

Even if Tian Jiageng and Xu Pei may have been hiding from the world for a while, they couldn't guess Shen Huai's intentions and ignore the value of the Xucheng Refinery, but the Xucheng Refinery was handed over to Mei Gang, and it was not after Tian Jiageng and Xu Pei nodded, and Xucheng didn't make a sound at all.

How can it be concluded that there is no such a penetrating figure as Xiong Wenbin in Xucheng City and the province to remind Xu Pei and Tian Jiageng to re-examine the value of the Xucheng refinery?

Song Wenhui also understood why Shen Huai deliberately let the backdoor news leak out, on the one hand, he forced many parties into a situation where they had to play games and have to make judgments in a short period of time because some people were still colored, and on the other hand, Shen Huai didn't care about the expansion or shrinkage of the apparent equity assets of Xucheng Refinery, but focused more on the inherent core value of Xucheng Refinery's possible incubation of a regional refining industry.

This is the vision of developing a large industrial system, beyond the level of capital, and even beyond the level of industrial clusters.

Song Wenhui couldn't help but think, what is the contradiction between Shen Huai and Tan Qiping, and the second brother? Is it simply because Shen Huai is unruly, and their control is too strong and aggressive?

Or is there an essential gap in the horizons of the two sides, Tan Qiping and the second brother can't see what Shen Huai sees, and Shen Huai is unwilling to lower his horizon to the same level as Tan Qiping and the second brother?

Why did the second brother, who had always been forbearing, suddenly become aggressive again? Did the second brother see a threat to him from Shen Huai's idea of Huai Coal going east?

Song Wenhui sighed lightly, if Shen Huai gave in, would his future life be like Xiong Wenbin's first half of his life, even if he could occupy a relatively high position, he could only do nothing?

"This Shen Huai is really calculating, I don't agree with handing over the Xucheng Oil Refinery to Meigang to take over......" Xu Pei stood in front of the window, looking at the shadows of the trees in the night outside the window, and spoke with his back to Li Gu who was sitting on the sofa, although his voice was low, but full of refusal.

Li Gu bowed his head and was silent.

Xu Pei inspected the work in the Zhunan Industrial Park in the afternoon, and did not express his position on the matter of the Xucheng refinery when he contacted him by phone, but only said that he would come back in the evening for an interview.

After Xu Pei returned, he showed Li Gu not only the materials of the Xucheng refinery, but a detailed information containing the entire refining and chemical industry cluster in Huaihai Province.

It was only at this time that Li Gu completely understood that Shen Huai's plot was so deep that he was too careless.

Although there are abundant oil and gas reserves in the deep sea area east of Huai Bay, the cost of deep-sea oil exploitation is extremely high, so that it is not possible to exploit it for 20 or 30 years.

As for land oil, almost the entire East China region is not too rich in resources, so the oil and gas consumption required by Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huai, Henan, Fujian, Guangzhou and other provinces must be imported from Northeast China, North China, and even from Sichuan, Shaanxi and other provinces by train.

However, the history of oil exploitation in Jiangdong and Huaihai provinces is still relatively early in China.

The history of Tingxi Oilfield, the only one in Huaihai Province, can be traced back to four or six years before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Although Tingxi is the only and largest oil field in Huaihai Province, the annual oil exploitation is less than 500,000 tons, accounting for about 3/10000 of the country's total exploitation of 150 million tons, and the proven reserves and long-term reserves are very limited.

Although the Tingxi Oilfield is nothing in the current petroleum industry at all, before the founding of the People's Republic of China and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, before the large oil fields in Northeast, North China, and Northwest China were not surveyed, the annual production of 100,000 tons (in 1952, the national crude oil production was less than 500,000 tons) was quite remarkable.

The Xucheng Refinery was developed on the basis of the crude oil supply from the Tingxi Oilfield, and was one of the most important refineries in China until the end of the 50s.

After the geological survey work was deepened in the later period, it was only after several decades that everyone realized that not only Huaihai Province, but also the entire East China region, did not have many oil resources; to this day, the combined annual oil exploitation capacity of Jiangdong and Huaihai Provinces is only about one million tons.

The refining capacity of the Xucheng refinery formed after the 80s reached 1.2 million tons, although it was surplus, but it was almost matched with the crude oil extraction of the two provinces.

The problem came from the fact that after the 80s, Jiangdong Province began to develop the refining and chemical industry in the province. In addition to the very small amount of crude oil extracted in the refining and chemical province, the refining and chemical enterprises in Jiangdong Province also use oil tankers to directly pass crude oil from North China through the Yangtze River waterway.

After the Xucheng refinery lost the crude oil resources in Jiangdong Province, the production capacity was surplus by more than half.

Although the Xucheng refinery has also tried to use tankers to transport crude oil from northern China for refining, the problem is still the limitation of the Zhujiang waterway.

From the Yangtze River channel to Jiangning, oil tankers of 30,000 to 50,000 tons can be directly navigated, and from the Zhujiang channel to Xucheng, the seaworthiness period of 10,000 tons of oil tankers is less than eight months. As a result, the gap between the Xucheng refinery and the refining and chemical enterprises in Jiangdong Province in terms of transportation costs has widened suddenly, and there is no way to compare with the refinery near the North China oil field.

At this time, whoever presides over the Xucheng refinery will not be able to recover the loss.

The Xucheng refinery will either be downsized or relocated to the mouth of the Zhujiang River or a place where a deep-water seaport should be built.

If it is just an oil refinery with aging equipment, serious losses and heavy debts, it is just that, and the entire refining and chemical industry cluster has been pulled down from the individual refining items, and there are as many as 23 large industries...... Although the scale of Xucheng refinery is not large, such a long development history and the reality of lack of oil in East China make the refining and chemical industry system formed by Xucheng can be said to be precious in the whole East China. Due to the long history and early development, the level of refining and chemical industry of Huai University of Technology is second to none in China, and Xucheng also has a high-level professional research institute specializing in refining and chemical in China.

At this time, handing over the Xucheng Refinery to Meigang is actually handing over the future of the development of the refining and chemical industry in Huaihai Province to Shen Huai.

Only then did Li Gu realize that he had underestimated Shen Huai's deep research on the industries in the province, and thought to himself, maybe Secretary Tian had also lost his eyes, right?

Secretary Tian also looked away?

Li Gu's brain suddenly froze at this time: No
