Chapter 1113 on the steel industry

……

"Auntie, hello!" After ringing the doorbell, looking at Jiang's mother who opened the door, Liu Dong hurriedly said respectfully.

"Xiaodong, you're here, come in!"

"Hey!" After agreeing, Liu Dong hurriedly walked in, "Auntie, this is a little gift for you and Uncle Jiang!"

"You're really, come on, why are you buying so many things!

"It's okay!"

Looking at Jiang's mother's polite appearance, Liu Dong was a little nervous and relaxed a little.

"Weiguo, Xiaodong is here!"

"Oh, Xiaodong is here!" Jiang Weiguo, who was watching TV on the sofa in the living room, also stood up at this time.

"Hello uncle!"

"Well, come on, sit down!"

"Then you talk, I'll pour you tea!" Jiang's mother said politely.

"Auntie, you don't have to be busy!"

"It's okay! By the way, Xiaodong, I'll stay for dinner later!"

As soon as Mother Jiang's words fell, there was a 'bang' sound of the door closing upstairs, and then Miss Jiang's voice rang out from upstairs.

"Mom and Dad, is Liu Dong here?"

"Come on!

"Hee-hee!" With a series of happy laughter and a series of hurried and light steps, Jiang Tingting, who was wearing a white T-shirt and pink loose trousers, quickly appeared in front of Liu Dong.

Because of her parents, Jiang Tingting is not good at showing her emotions excessively!

"Tingting, come over and help your mother! Otherwise, you won't even be able to cook for a big girl." In the future, they got married. Marry into someone else's family. People are going to say that we didn't teach you well!"

"Oh, got it!" Jiang Tingting pouted, her face full of reluctance!

"Auntie, I'm pretty good at cooking, why don't I help you?" Liu Dong hurriedly said.

Compared with chatting with Jiang Weiguo, Liu Donghe is willing to go to the kitchen to work hard! But obviously this goal cannot be achieved at this moment!

"No, Xiaodong, you can just sit. There's a servant in the kitchen, and that's enough for the two of us!, sit down!" he said. Jiang's mother pulled Jiang Tingting, and the two walked into the kitchen.

"Just let them get busy!Come, Xiaodong, drink tea!" Jiang Weiguo picked up the teapot and said.

"Uncle, I'll just do it myself!"

Hurriedly holding the teacup, Liu Dong said politely.

"By the way, Xiaodong, how are things going in the company lately?"

"Everything is going well! The company has a special professional manager in charge, and I don't need to worry too much!" Liu Dongdao.

"Well, that's good! But sometimes it's better to have more snacks in your career!

"That's what you said!"

"Oh. I forgot to ask you! Has the renovation of the Quancheng No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant begun?" Although he has left his post as secretary of the Quancheng Municipal Party Committee, he has been there for nearly five years. Jiang Weiguo is still very concerned about some things in Quancheng!

"It's already started!"

"Tell me about it!"

Looking at the look of interest on Jiang Weiguo's face, Liu Dong hurriedly said: "At the beginning of this year, I have already sent people to the United States and Europe to inspect the local steel market and the price and performance of the main equipment! After comprehensive consideration, we acquired the Mariupol Iron and Steel Joint Stock Company in Ukraine!"

"Mariupol Iron and Steel JSC?"

"Yes, it is the world's 35th largest steel company, and it is also the second largest steel company in Ukraine, with an annual output of 4.8 million tons! However, after 2000, the economic development of major steel consuming countries such as the European Union, the United States, and Japan has slowed down, and global steel prices have declined, so Ukraine's steel industry has been hit hard! Therefore, we bought this large steel plant at a price slightly higher than the market price, and without being hindered by the Ukrainian government!"

"Oh!" After nodding, Jiang Weiguo continued: "Then why did you buy this steel plant, and did you plan to move it to China?"

"This is not the main purpose! We bought Mariupol Iron and Steel Joint Stock Company mainly because we valued the technology in the other party's hands and a mature R&D institution!" Liu Dong said.

"Technology?"

"Yes, Ukraine's steel technology is inherited from the earliest Soviet Union, although now ten years have passed, but the performance of its steel, especially special steel, is not lagging behind the international mainstream technology. But these are precisely what the country lacks the most!"

As Liu Dong has been in the business world for longer and longer, he has learned more and more things, and he is no longer an ordinary person who has almost no understanding of business at the beginning!

After getting along with the world's business elites such as Feng Jianhui, Yang Ke, David Coleman and Guan Tao for a long time, my natural vision and cognition have also changed dramatically from the beginning.

At the beginning of his entry into the steel industry, he already recognized the characteristics of this industry!

Capital and technology are the foundation for the survival and development of the steel industry. There is no shortage of funds. But technology, Liu Dong inherited the second steel plant in Quancheng is almost poor, not to mention that many technologies are compared with the world, even the vast majority of domestic steel companies can't compare!

In this case, Liu Dong had no choice but to seek help from outside! However, although the iron and steel enterprises in the United States, Japan, and Europe had technology, the price really made Liu Dong feel angry when he heard it.

Fortunately, as the steel base of the former Soviet Union, the technology of the Ukrainian Iron and Steel Company has given Liu Dong new hope! But these Ukrainian big hairmen are not easy to fool. Perhaps it is because Westerners naturally attach importance to patents and technology, although the price of licensing is lower than that of Western countries, but it is also not cheap.

Later, Liu Dong gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and simply took advantage of the setback of the world's steel industry and the collapse of the Ukrainian steel industry when the tide of bankruptcy prevailed, and directly acquired the second largest steel company in Ukraine!

Of course, the acquisition process was not as smooth as Liu Dong said now, in addition to spending money to bribe officials, when Liu Dong was forced to be in a hurry, he also used the shadow!

However, the sword light and sword shadow in this must not be said to Jiang Weiguo!

Speaking of which, although our domestic economy is developing rapidly, in the end, the industrial foundation is still too thin, and there is still a big gap compared with the accumulation of the West over the past 100 years! You can find a way to get advanced technology from the outside to promote the country's industrial development, which is very good!" Jiang Weiguo congratulated Xu.

"You're polite! My own career, I should do my best!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.

He didn't want the skills he had worked so hard to get in his hands to be taken away by the person in front of him for free.

Although he does not mind contributing to the country, it must not be in this way!

With Jiang Weiguo's city government and political wisdom, he could naturally hear the hidden meaning of Liu Dong's words! However, he didn't mean that in the first place, so he didn't explain much!

"By the way, since you bought the Mariupol Iron and Steel Joint Stock Company, how is the current steel plant developing?" Jiang Weiguo changed the subject.

"Oh, our new company in Yantai has now completed digging the foundation, and the ordered equipment is also arriving one after another! It is expected that the installation will be roughly completed by the end of next year!

After nodding, Jiang Weiguo asked, "The company moved to Yantai?"

"Yes, what I plan for the new company is to produce 30 million tons of steel per year! In addition, by moving the company to Yantai, we can also use the convenient wharf there to obtain foreign steel raw materials and reduce operating costs! As for Quancheng, we have retained some steel facilities for scientific research!" Liu Dong explained.

To engage in scientific research, a large number of talents are inevitably needed, and there are quite a few colleges and universities in Quancheng, and the innate conditions are far from being comparable to Yantai. Therefore, Liu Dong left the scientific research institutions of the new Oriental Iron and Steel Group in Quancheng!

Moreover, as the provincial capital of Dongshan Province, Quancheng can also attract outstanding talents from all over the country and even other countries in the world to settle down with its not bad living, education and other facilities!

"You're doing a good job! In this way, my last thought when I leave Spring City will be counted!"

Although Jiang Weiguo does not know much about the specific operation of the steel industry. But he can also see from Liu Dong's layout that this is indeed the best choice for the steel industry!

Thinking of this, looking at Liu Dong, who looked unusually young but heroic, calm and moderate in front of him, Jiang Weiguo's face showed a look of satisfaction!

Although the other party's family background is ordinary, he is talented, and he has already struggled on his own at a young age, and has worked hard for the wealth and status that many people dare not hope for in their lives!

And even in the world, there are not many people who can compare with it.

Therefore, let Liu Dong become the son-in-law of his Jiang family, and his Jiang Weiguo's uncle is still qualified!

However, at this moment, Liu Dong was a little uncomfortable at the strange look of Jiang Weiguo! But Liu Dong, who had a ghost in his heart, didn't say much!

Just when he was figuring out Jiang Weiguo's thoughts, he listened to the other party and said directly: "Xiaodong, have you been in love with Tingting recently?"

"Ah......h

Liu Dong showed a panicked look on his face!

"Ah, what, is it?" Although he said that, from the look on Liu Dong's face, he also guessed eight or nine.

"Yes!" Liu Dong said with a slightly wry smile.

He knew that since Jiang Weiguo had asked, he must have already known a lot about him and Jiang Tingting, and instead of hiding it, it was better to admit it now!

"Hehe, look at you scared! Don't worry, your Uncle Jiang and I are not such unreasonable people! As long as you and Tingting are truly in love, we will not interfere too much in the affairs of the two of you as parents!"

Jiang Weiguo's words fell, and Liu Dong was a little relieved in his heart!

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.

"Thank you, it's not an outsider......!"

After chatting with Jiang Weiguo for a while, the two of them walked up to the dinner table under the greeting of Jiang's mother! The Jiang family's hospitality made Liu Dong, the kidnapped baby guy feel ashamed!

But now that he and Jiang Tingting have cooked raw rice, it seems that he can't get off the boat! )
