Chapter 8: How about foreign languages

There are only five people sitting in the office, Liu Huaguang, Liu Chunyu, Chen Shu, Lu Bingqiang and Wang Guohui, that is, these five people control all the shares of Sanrong Iron and Steel (of course, Wang Zilan's equity is counted in Chen Shu).

"Today, we are a few together, just want to talk about the company's products, last year I and Chen Shu said hello to everyone, our products are too low-end and single, once the market has a turbulent loss is too great, there are plans to do steel sheet piles and H-beams. ”

"A few days ago, Mr. Chen and I just came back from other places and went to seven or eight factories across the country, just to see the H-beam and steel sheet pile rolling line, and at the same time, we also asked our company, as well as other companies under the two of us to do market research, whether it is H-beam or steel sheet pile, there is a good market share. ”

"We have found a suitable equipment manufacturer for steel sheet piles, but the rolling mill of H-beam is not very satisfied, and there is a gap between the two of us, so we are ready to temporarily replace part of the billet production capacity and change to steel sheet pile production. ”

"In order to ensure that there is still the possibility of H-beam in the future, we have found special personnel to design the layout of the rolling line, leaving enough space for the rolling line in the future. Do Mr. Lu and Director Wang have any thoughts or objections?" asked Liu Chunyu.

"This is a good thing, I have no objection, the strip and billet are too primary, there is really no technical content and competitiveness, and there is not much profit margin at all, once the price is reduced, the first to die, the sooner it is changed, the better!"

"My thoughts are the same as Mr. Lu's, support your ideas!" Wang Guohui also said.

"Since you have all expressed your position, then the two of us continue to talk about the follow-up rolling mill procurement plan, and now we are ready to start cleaning up the site, preparing for the later work, and striving to put it into production as soon as possible. As for the future H-beam rolling line, we will continue to look for it, and if there is a suitable one, we will talk about it immediately. ”

"There is no need to consider the large H-beams of Jingxi Iron and Steel and Laigang Iron and Steel, one is that the equipment is not easy to import, and the investment is large. The equipment provided by SMS - Demag, the electrical control of Siemens, etc., seems to be a bit unreliable for us. ”

"We only need to consider medium-sized H-beams, as for small H-beams, they can also be attached, and once we encounter the right equipment, we will go online immediately!" Liu Chunyu said, while several other people also nodded.

"Since today's meeting is here, the two of us will continue to contact the manufacturer, and after signing the contract, we will start construction quickly, so that everyone can be prepared!" After speaking, everyone dispersed, Chen Shu said hello to everyone and left to find Zhang Ning.

It has been a while since I saw Hongtong import and export Zhang Ning, the initial cooperation with their company was started, and now the American standard channel steel has basically withdrawn from the Tangshan market, but it does not mean that there are no other cooperation opportunities, this is the purpose of Chen Shu.

Tangshan Hongtong Import & Export Co., Ltd. is an independent compound with a six-story office building, and if you simply look at the office environment, no one will be associated with steel.

Outside the office building, except for the huge billboard placed on the roof, there is nothing related to the company, and the entire compound entrance and around the compound are parking spaces, and they are hollowed out tiles, and flowers and plants have grown out of the hollow place. In the middle of the compound is a fountain with many goldfish.

"Hello boss, please register when you enter the door and write who you are looking for!" said the guard.

"En!" Chen Shu didn't talk nonsense, came down to start registering in the notebook, and went directly to the office building after recording it.

Chen Shu is quite familiar with this place, the first floor is the business, finance and department manager office, the second floor is the company's leadership office, conference room and staff dormitory, the third floor and above are all entertainment and fitness facilities, and even the KTV company is prepared.

However, there is also a restaurant on the top floor, on the one hand, to avoid the smell of food all over the building when eating, and on the other hand, to make the dining environment quieter and avoid hearing the noise outside, Chen Shu is not the first time to come, so he is quite familiar with the situation here.

"Please come in!" Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Ning shouted, and quickly stood up after seeing the person who opened the door, he didn't expect Chen Shu to come over at this time!

"Hahahaha! Mr. Chen didn't say anything in advance when he came over, you won't register at the door again, right? Our guard said that you are the most bossy of all the bosses, and you don't pretend to be a boss with a lot of money and power, this is the real boss. Please be seated!" and began to boil water and prepare to make tea.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, you haven't been here for a while, and there is not much market for the American standard slot, so come over and see what you are exporting now." Wouldn't it be a pity if we had such a good cooperative relationship just like that?" Chen Shu said with a smile.

"How can it be broken? It is impossible for our good relationship to be broken, not to mention that Mr. Chen's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. However, with the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, the economy has been sluggish for more than a year and nearly two years, especially the foreign investment in the United States. ”

"Our American standard channel steel is basically issued to the United States local enterprises for foreign-related investment projects, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America are the largest markets. As soon as the economic crisis broke out, these investments shrank sharply, and it was difficult to maintain the size of the economy, and we had to find new investment channels. ”

"At present, we are recruiting foreign trade business mainly in Japanese and Korean, mainly to contact Japanese and Korean traders, and target projects in Southeast Asia. Now the scale of our economy in Southeast Asia is expanding rapidly, and of course it is still dominated by Japan's influence. Saying this, Zhang Ning helped pour water for Chen Shu.

"Listen to Mr. Zhang's meaning, Nippon products have a great influence on the Southeast Asian market, right?" Chen Shu asked.

Now the biggest impact of Japanese standard steel is Singapore, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the number of each month is a large number for us. At present, these steels are supplied locally in Japan, but we are already looking for alternative producers. ”

"In another month, I will go out with the following foreign trade business, just to see how big the market is in Southeast Asia, if we can, we really want to work hard in this regard. Zhang Ning looked at Chen Shu seriously.

"If Mr. Zhang can open up the market, we Rongwei Steel will definitely help!" said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen hasn't gone out yet, right? I heard that you have also obtained a graduate degree, how are you learning foreign languages? What language are you learning? It should be more than just English, right?" Zhang Ning asked.

"Japanese, the Japanese language that I learned in order to get a diploma, I don't have much trouble communicating with each other, so it's limited to this level, and I just know some business terms. English is still relatively familiar, and Chinese like us who have not stayed in a foreign language environment basically have a Chinese accent in foreign languages. Chen Shu said.

"Definitely, but you can consider talking to them, they will improve a lot over time, and to be honest, my English and Japanese are so hardened. Zhang Ning said.

Chen Shu didn't expect to talk to Zhang Ning for a while, but it was not a bad thing, not to mention that when he was learning Japanese, he felt that it was more likely that he would have an intersection with the devil in the future, after all, the two countries were so next to each other, how could they not come and go.
