Chapter 161: Crisis and Opportunity

The chairman looked at it, Guo Huaiyi naturally understood what it meant, and immediately picked up the words, "The quality of this batch of goods we went out is not inferior to the supply of any same manufacturer, of course, there is still a big gap with those manufacturers who supply car production." ”

"We have also done research in this regard, and the batch of goods we produce can fully cope with the use of some of our domestic brand auto parts. It is precisely for this reason that we have more confidence. ”

"Automotive steel is more inclined to cold rolling, our hot-rolled processing performance is better, but there is a difference in yield strength, and our supply this time is not inferior to cold-rolled plate in terms of finish and flatness. We also studied it, and if we only provide high-quality cold-rolled plates on a set of cold-rolled lines, I don't think there is a problem, and there is no conflict with Zhang Qiang. ”

After listening to Guo Huaiyi's analysis, Chen Shu had to think carefully, if this research and development was successful, then there would naturally be no problem. However, once it fails, it is impossible to throw away the equipment directly, so it will naturally retreat to the next best, and it will definitely compete with Zhang Qiang's Fuliang precision sheet.

"Is there a budget for the investment? How much money is needed, how many factories are needed for the construction period, and the location of the company?" Chen Shu asked.

"I have done research and budgeting, if there is a new factory next to us, of course, we will be Rongwei Dingsheng. Although there are advantages to short-distance transportation, the cost of land here is too high to be the best choice. ”

Zhang Qiang's Fuliang precision sheet set up a factory in Caofeidian, in fact, it is taking advantage of the policy, and still enjoys preferential policies in taxation. If we also set up factories there, the industrial land and tax incentives will be enough to offset our short-distance transportation costs for several years. ”

"The most important thing is that automotive steel is a highly attached product and belongs to the state-supported industry, so there are still certain advantages in approval!" Guo Huaiyi said.

"Have you discussed this matter with the other shareholders of our company?" asked Chen Shu.

"Not yet, I'd like to talk to you before I tell them. Sometimes I think you care too much about their ideas, for example, Zhang Qiang's factory, if you exercised the rights of a major shareholder at that time, I am afraid that our company will definitely not be in this passive situation. ”

"Although Zhang Qiang abides by the agreement at that time, the price is still passively suppressed, and if it is our own production line, we don't have to think about these problems at all. ”

"I think it is very necessary for the chairman to exercise the rights of shareholders in the automotive steel project, and it is better to control the future of the company with a very small number of people. On the one hand, it is not easy to confuse the public, on the other hand, it is easier to manage, and their opinions or suggestions can be listened to, and the key is to rely on themselves. Guo Huaiyi said.

"This is the deepest feeling you have had with me for so many years, right?" Chen Shu said with a smile.

"Actually, I know very well what the chairman is thinking, after all, I have seen a lot through so many years of getting along. I feel like you're more like you're waiting, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance for these people to quit automatically. Guo Huaiyi said.

"Yes, I'm waiting, not just for them, I'm waiting for myself. As you say, it's pretty much the same. Since there is a market for automotive steel to develop, let's invest a little more, so that the company has nothing to blame. ”

"You go back and make a complete project book, including R&D, investment, and future market prospects, in as much detail as possible, after all, this is for all shareholders to see. If this transformation is successful, perhaps the pressure to tide over this industry crisis will be less, of course, if it fails, it will only make matters worse, and we are not bad at this layer of frost!" Chen Shu said.

"Okay! I've finished this draft, I'll show it to you in a moment, and if there are no major mistakes, I'll revise it according to this standard!" Guo Huaiyi said.

"No problem, what other products do we have besides hot coils, high wires and bars?" asked Chen Shu.

"There is a hot coil rolling line can roll thick coils, originally we are mainly thin, now we have developed a thick rolling line, the production of some special materials of thick coils, some time ago a customer ordered 2000 tons of weathering steel, to be 9mm thick hot coil. ”

"Our profit on this list is about 200 yuan per ton, which is obviously advantageous compared to the current 180 yuan. At the same time, we also make high-strength coils, and medium-thick coils are also wanted, mainly for stamping automobile beams. Considering safety issues, our sampling inspection is relatively strict. Guo Huaiyi said.

"I know, you go and prepare!" Chen Shu said.

Watching Guo Huaiyi leave, Chen Shu also found that Guo Huaiyi's management company is becoming more and more handy, the more this happens, the more relieved Chen Shu is, there is really no more suitable person than this.

Originally, Chen Shu had not been idle at all in the past two years, in addition to reading and studying at home, he would occasionally record his past experiences, or go out to visit those more well-known companies.

Chen Shu has to admit that most of the private steel enterprises do not have the idea of getting involved in high-end, and even the production capacity has reached the scale of steel enterprises, and there is no research and development institution of their own, which makes Chen Shu very surprised.

Seeing this result is also equivalent to Chen Shu seeing hope, he can't be mixed at the bottom forever, and he will eventually break away from their group. Now our company has advantages that others do not have, on the one hand, the advanced nature of the equipment itself, and on the other hand, it is a perfect R & D system.

After setting the goal, Chen Shu began to visit downstream users, including many well-known trailer manufacturers, as well as some car and passenger car manufacturers. Through the actual visit, Chen Shu's confidence in the development of automotive steel may be difficult at the beginning, but it cannot resist the temptation of future profits.

The development speed of the national automobile industry will only get faster and faster, and the demand for automotive steel may have an expansion process, and only prepared people can seize such an opportunity, which is the most practical problem.

Now I really don't know how many steel mills have the courage to continue to invest, after all, the situation of the steel industry is now very clear, I am afraid it is difficult to see a turnaround in a short time, and then continue to invest at this time is tantamount to cutting off the back road, I am afraid that there is only a way to stop production and bankruptcy when it is difficult.

However, once the opportunity in the crisis is seized, it is not only a matter of turning the crisis into safety, but it is also possible to achieve considerable development and win space for greater progress in the future.

Chen Shu is very clear about the trade-offs, but he doesn't know what kind of choice other shareholders make, let's wait and see!
