In 07, Liu Mingwei still remembered what the two people said, and then he never saw the two of them mention it, at least in his opinion, there is no market, or he will not mention it.

"This economic crisis is caused by the United States, and the countries led by the United States in international exchanges are the most implicated, plus from the second half of 07 domestic steel prices began to soar, and even in 08 reached the height that those developed countries have not reached. ”

"In this kind of market where domestic prices are higher than foreign prices, how can there be opportunities for exports? We who started to do exporters did our best, and even counted export tax rebates in the profits to calculate the cost, and in the end the domestic prices still exceeded the limit of the customers' bearing. ”

"When the price was not crazy, I heard Chen Shu's inventory of 3,000 tons. Because there were no foreign trade orders at hand at that time, when the domestic price rose by seven or eight hundred, I began to look for customers to see who could take over at one time. ”

"At that time, foreign customers also discovered the domestic market situation in China, and only projects in Southeast Asia would choose to export from China, so that the transportation cost and time cycle could also be counted. The net profit of my shipment was 200 US dollars / ton, which was impossible before. ”

"Now everyone has basically given up on the American standard profile market, and they are focusing on rebar, and then on the export of billets to Southeast Asia. The export of finished steel is okay, but the export of this kind of billet will not last long, how can the state allow this behavior to continue for a long time. ”

"Large-scale imports of ore have not been able to get pricing power, smelting into billets has not made much money, and this semi-finished product has been exported, but the biggest pollution has been left in the country, which is obviously a fool's behavior!"

"Look at it, as long as the price of domestic finished products is maintained at less than 4,000, there is still room for export to survive, if it reaches more than 4,000, it will be basically difficult to continue, and the current situation can only be said to be okay. ”

"We are now exporting rebar, hot coil, galvanized coil and billet, and in the past two years, Japan's steel has become more and more influential in Southeast Asian countries, and you can consider Japan's standards. Wang Zhensheng said.

"Okay, I'll go back and study this matter and see if there's room to try!" Chen Shu said.

"It seems that your export is more concerned about the global economy, and our company only does real estate in Beijing, and puts more energy on the industrial policy of Beijing. Recently, we have also begun to expand to surrounding cities, including Langfang, Zhuozhou, etc., which are the focus of our investment. ”

"Now we have to do not only the car trip, but also the high-speed rail trip, and the half-hour trip is basically counted in the circle of Beijing. I don't dare to say now, but sooner or later, the housing prices in Baoding Langfang will also skyrocket, especially after the high-speed rail transportation is stabilized. Liu Mingwei said.

"Don't talk about us, you haven't talked about your situation yet, just now you said that you have invested more, what are you busy doing?" asked Liu Mingwei.

"Didn't Zilan's original in-laws also run a steel mill, and they were forced to go bankrupt by the boss's loser son, and a friend and I took over the company. I used 200 million yuan to get 30% of the equity, and the other party gave Wang Zilan and Wang Mengfei 15% of the equity, and the remaining 45% of the equity was resold to a friend of mine. ”

"In this way, the two of us officially accepted this steel mill, and I organized a group of friends to build a new steel mill, which should be leading in scale and technology, of course, in private enterprises. Construction started on January 2 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, and it will be put into operation next year. ”

"If you count the land in total, it is about 2.8 billion, and I myself account for less than 1.3 billion! This is all the initial investment, and it is only the construction of billet production, and I have limited funds to arrange this. If there is enough funds, the downstream rolling line will be arranged together. ”

"If possible, I will get a loan when the construction here is almost complete, and build the downstream rolling line as soon as possible, which is my original intention. Chen Shu said.

"What are you going to roll? It won't be threads or wires, right?" asked Liu Mingwei.

"Hot-rolled coils, then cold-rolled, galvanized and color-coated, our goal is to export, not just for the domestic market, the share is too limited, and there are many small factories competing, there is no need for that!" Chen Shu said.

"Oh, what does that factory you took over?" asked Liu Mingwei.

"Strip steel, the lowest-end product, is even inferior to the channel steel and I-shaped steel we produce, but it is true that the most consumed products in Tangshan are made of welded pipes and templates. Chen Shu said.

"What is the strip mill?" Liu Mingwei still had some questions.

"Tangshan strip steel consumes more than 70% of Tangshan's billet production capacity, all of which are rolled strip factories and sold to all parts of the country.

Liu Mingwei really didn't expect this to be the case, but this is more a reflection of the strip production situation in Tangshan, which is completely extensive and disorderly competition, and the final result is reduced sales and waste of resources.

"After the Chinese New Year, I and another major shareholder were going on a business trip, going out to find rolling equipment, and changing the offline line of the factory we received. At present, there is a very broad market for H-beam, and the profit margin is very large, and the strip steel is not at the same level at all, and the competition is not so fierce. ”

"Then there is the steel sheet pile, which has not yet been applied in our north. I've seen this thing used twice, both for civil engineering guardrails, and it can also be used as a protective embankment for riverbeds!"

"We went on a business trip to find this mill manufacturer, and of course we had to have technical support. Waiting for us to figure it out on our own, how much time will it waste. Mr. Liu, who worked with me, was also very supportive of my idea, and it can be said that the two of us hit it off, mainly because he felt that strip steel had no future, and sooner or later a large number of steel mills would have to die on strip steel, which was the end of no innovation. Chen Shu said.

"Don't discuss it, our little babies are hungry, it's time to eat!" The old lady walked in with Chen Zhigang in her arms, followed by several others, but none of them were idle, they all said that they were newly bought toys!

The three of them laughed and quickly got up to serve the food, and all three of them walked very well. "Did you cook before?" saw Liu Mingwei also come over to serve the plate, so he asked casually.

"Look at what you said, I didn't live like this in the beginning, and it was only in the last few years that I started to enjoy life after crazy development, not to mention this. Just said it casually, Liu Mingwei immediately thought of his mother's feelings, and quickly stopped the topic.

"You all drink some today, and when you go back, you can change to a lady to drive!" Dad spoke directly, and everyone laughed, it was rare that so many people gathered together after the New Year, and they were indeed happy!
