Chapter 927 Iron and Steel Industry

……

"This is a great opportunity!"

Looking at the information of the No. 2 Steel Mill in his hand, Liu Dong touched his chin, and his face showed a slightly thoughtful look.

After going to the United States and seeing the power of Rockefeller, Morgan, and Roosevelt, the top American families, Liu Dong was extremely concerned about enhancing his influence!

In the end, he set the grand goal of forming his own consortium.

Now the most difficult and core step of his goal has been achieved, as long as Standard Chartered Bank, South Africa's Standard Bank, and 8 banks bought from the United States are restructured, then a large multinational bank that has entered the top 50 in the world will appear, and the soaring stock price will become inevitable, and Liu Dong's net worth will be several times on the current basis!

With money, you naturally have more confidence to develop your own business!

So he set his sights on steel and real estate!

Although the steel industry has now become a sunset industry in the world, steel is still an important standard to measure the comprehensive strength of a country, and the influence of a large steel group is not comparable to the jewelry and hotel industries, so the second step of Liu Dong's consortium plan is to have a super steel group with an output of more than 30 million tons, only this kind of super-large enterprise can bring enough influence!

And real estate has also been put by Liu Dong in the same position as steel, one is because the domestic real estate industry is booming, but the profits are too rich. Liu Dong is not a saint. He is not willing to let go of things that can make money.

And. The real estate industry is also a downstream enterprise in the steel industry. There is a supply and demand relationship between the two sides, and a large real estate group can guarantee the sales of the steel group's products.

If you count the large-scale iron-rich mines mastered by Liu Dong in Peru, the entire industrial chain has almost been opened up by Liu Dong!

From the most basic mining to terminal sales, mastering this industrial chain will master the foundation of gaining a foothold in this industry, and as long as more affiliated enterprises are acquired in the future, the industrial chain will become thicker. Then even if you encounter an economic crisis or an industry depression, you can survive it.

It is precisely because of this plan that Liu Dong has a new idea for this Quancheng No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant!

Although the steel smelting equipment that has passed for thirty or forty years may be outdated due to technical reasons, the skilled workers in this steel plant are a valuable asset!

As long as a new batch of new equipment is purchased, the management system is reformed, and a part of the unqualified employees are eliminated, this historic steel plant can be revitalized!

Of course, in order to revive such a dilapidated old factory, a large amount of capital investment is required, as well as many difficulties to be solved.

However, Liu Dong has long been prepared for this in his heart!

Putting down the information in his hand, Liu Dong showed a look of thought on his face. "Mr. Feng, do we have more detailed information about the Second Steel Mill?"

"More detailed information?" was stunned for a moment. Feng Jianhui shook his head, he had never planned to acquire the land of the Second Steel Plant, and naturally he would not prepare more detailed information.

However, seeing the expression on Liu Dong's face, Feng Jianhui, who already knew him well, blurted out, "Liu Dong, you don't want to ......!"

"Shhh

But looking at Feng Jianhui's expression of wanting to speak several times, Liu Dong knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, I am afraid that Feng Jianhui would be difficult to settle down at this moment!

"Mr. Wu, you are responsible for the auction here, and we will try our best to win the plots we are optimistic about!"

Liu Dong sat down, and Wu Zhe, the CEO of Huayang Real Estate, who was sitting on his right, nodded hurriedly, "Understood, Liu Dong!"

"Follow me!"

After signaling to Feng Jianhui, the two got up and walked out of the auction hall one after another, and then found a quiet place in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel and sat down.

"What do you want to ask?"

And Feng Jianhui, who couldn't wait for a long time, said after Liu Dong's words: "Liu Dong, do you really plan to buy the second steel plant?"

"That's right!"

Looking at Liu Dong nodding, Feng Jianhui said with an anxious expression: "The second steel plant has been abolished, that is a big burden, although there are more than 3,000 acres of land as compensation, but we still have to bear the wages of more than 60,000 workers, and the annual loss is more than 100 million Huaxia yuan, which is not worth the loss!"

Liu Dong understands that Feng Jianhui's concerns are all from the perspective of the pure real estate industry, but Liu Dong is different!

"Lao Feng, don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion! Let me ask you, is it more expensive to build a new steel plant, or is it more expensive to rebuild it after acquiring the second steel plant?"

Feng Jianhui was originally a talented person, and as soon as Liu Dong's words fell, he came back to his senses and wondered: "Is Liu Dong planning to enter the steel industry?"

"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded.

Looking at the thoughts on Feng Jianhui's face, Liu Dong secretly felt satisfied in his heart, what he admired most was Feng Jianhui's point, anything would never be easily concluded without careful thinking!

After changing the angle, Feng Jianhui also immediately analyzed the pros and cons of acquiring the second steel plant!

"Liu Dong, in addition to steel production, the second steel plant has eight other branches, and now the only one that is still profitable is the second heavy machinery factory! This machinery factory that produces bulldozers, forklifts, and excavators has more than 4,000 employees, and the remaining second cement plant can also be profitable through joint ventures with our Huayang Group, but the remaining coking, refractory, and non-ferrous metal processing, our Huayang Group can not provide much help, and can only rely on the second steel plant itself!"

"And if we want to fully digest the remaining workers, unless we can establish a super-large steel group with a comprehensive steel output of more than 30 million tons, the acquisition of the second steel plant will not be profitable at all, and it will only become a drag!"

Feng Jianhui's outspokenness did not make Liu Dong change his original intention, "Since a steel plant with a comprehensive steel output of 30 million tons can solve the problem, then it is necessary to establish a steel plant of this scale!"

Liu Dong's careless rhetoric shocked Feng Jianhui in his heart, and at the same time, there was also a trace of doubt on his face, he wondered if Liu Dong knew what he was talking about?

"Chairman Liu, are you sure you are not wrong just now, it is 30 million tons, not 3 million tons?"

"Don't worry, I didn't hear or say it wrong just now, it's 30 million tons, and even more!" Liu Dong said.

"But do you know how much it costs?" Feng Jianhui hurriedly said.

"Is $4 billion enough?"

Liu Dong blocked all Feng Jianhui's persuasion in one sentence!

After taking a deep breath and calming down the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Feng Jianhui still couldn't hide the shock in his heart and said: "Liu Dong, you know that 4 billion US dollars is not a small amount!"

Although he knew something about Liu Dong's trip to Hong Kong, Feng Jianhui didn't know about Liu Dong's series of actions in the United States, let alone that there was already a super bank behind him to provide funds!

"$4 billion is indeed not a small amount, but this money is not all invested at once, if it is divided into 5 years, although there is a burden, but it is not as heavy as imagined!"

Liu Dong did not emphasize how rich he was, but considered the whole project realistically!

After listening, Feng Jianhui was not in a hurry to object, and after thinking for a while, he also admitted that the current Liu Dong did have the capital to say this!

"Liu Dong, the steel industry is a capital and technology-intensive industry, but now it belongs to the sunset industry, if 4 billion US dollars are invested in the steel industry, it is far less than the return on real estate, high-tech industries and service industries!"

"I know, but a lot of things are not done because of less money, although the steel industry has little profit, but as one of the basic industries of the economy, its influence is undoubted! Moreover, if we establish an industrial chain from mining and processing to the sale of finished steel products, then making money will not be a problem!"

Looking at Liu Dongjiong's blazing eyes, Feng Jianhui was surprised: "What do you mean by terminal sales?"

"Real estate, shipbuilding, automobiles, machinery manufacturing, aren't these all big consumers of steel?" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"That's really the case!" Feng Jianhui sighed in his heart.

From the moment he came into contact with Liu Dong, he had already sensed the other party's ambition of not being willing to be subordinate! It was only limited to strength, and his performance was not clear.

Now, as the capital owned by the other party becomes more and more abundant, this ambition has begun to gradually transform into practical actions!

For people like Feng Jianhui, it is a good thing for their boss to be ambitious, which can drive the further development of the enterprise, but if the ambition is too big, it is not necessarily a good thing, because countless examples have proved that being ambitious will not have too good results!

But looking at Liu Dong's determined look, he knew that he would definitely not be able to persuade the other party!

But as an employee, he has to think about his boss!

"Liu Dong, if you insist on acquiring the No. 2 Steel Plant and then enter the development of the steel industry, then I suggest that you don't buy the Quancheng No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant in this auction!" Feng Jianhui said.

"Are you planning for me to take this opportunity to fight for better conditions from the Quancheng City Government?" Liu Dong was not stupid, and soon understood what Feng Jianhui meant!

"That's right, no real estate company will ask for this big burden, so it is inevitable that the second steel plant will be auctioned! At that time, both the government and the factory itself will be completely disappointed! And our opportunity has come!"

After nodding, Liu Dong did not say anything against it, after all, this is his own advantage!

"Are we digging into the corners of the country?" Liu Dong suddenly laughed.

"No, this is the inevitability of the development of the socialist market economy!" Feng Jianhui shook his head.

The two reached an agreement on the acquisition of the second steel plant!
