The equipment and raw materials of the smelter are complete, and it is very simple to try production, and you only need to arrange the matters.

Zhang Yi instructed Rao Guangyuan: "The task must be arranged to a specific individual, this blast furnace trial production is of great significance, so many employees choose to come back to start a business with us, of course we have to get a good fortune, get a good start, let them follow us with peace of mind, by the way, Chief Engineer Rao, how long does it take to prepare?" ”

Rao Guangyuan thought for a while and said: "It only takes a day, there is no problem with the equipment, now I want to arrange the work to a specific section, and I want to ask each section leader to feed back the information after the task is refined." ”

Chen Jianming said with a smile: "Our workers are very experienced, as long as things are implemented, they can be produced." ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Our workers have been on the production line for a long time, and their experience and technology are very good, but our development cannot only rely on these workers, our hematopoietic function has to keep up. ”

"We have already started to prepare for this, and we will hold several campus special sessions in this year's graduation season, and go to several colleges and universities to hold information sessions." Chen Jianming said.

"This one does." Zhang Yi nodded.

In 98, college students were a sweet spot, and there were many positions for them to choose from, but newly graduated students were usually arranged to work out at the grassroots level.

The Qingshan Smelter is now a private enterprise, and it does not have much advantage over the welfare benefits of state-owned enterprises, but it is highly mobile, and if the benefits are good, Zhang Yi will definitely take out a considerable part of the money as a bonus to the employees.

After explaining some matters to Rao Guangyuan, he turned around and prepared to go, now that the smelter is in full swing, the workers are also nervous, and they will not go to work every day to make soy sauce like state-owned enterprises.

After the product is produced, the most important thing is to sell, if the steel can't be sold, not only can it not make money, but it will rust if it is piled up in the warehouse, Zhang Yi asked: "Second uncle, do we have pre-ordered steel?" ”

Chen Jianming shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, but not much, I sold my old face and found a few large construction units, only Su Wangang Su of Jiangnan Second Construction ordered 200 tons of steel bars with us." ”

"200 tons is a bit less." Zhang Yidao.

"These wolf cubs, when the smelter was at its peak of production, these people begged to place an order with me, and those who didn't get the order had to queue up all night to wait for the goods to be pulled, and now I will ask them to order a steel for me, and they all pour bitter water with me with a sad face." Chen Jianming said hatefully.

After the collapse of the Qingshan Smelter, Chen Jianming's face is indeed not very good, this world is like this, when you are powerful and powerful, there are a lot of flatterers and scolding you, when you decline, these people will leave you, there are no permanent friends in the mall, only eternal interests.

"Second uncle, don't worry." Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Large construction companies have a fixed steel purchase channel, they have been cooperating with large steel enterprises such as Jiangcheng Steel Mill for a long time, and they will definitely worry about our steel quality problems, after all, we are a small factory, and Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant can not be compared, it is a central enterprise." ”

Zhang Yi continued: "If it doesn't work, we can lower the price a little, and we don't need to find a big construction company, we can also find some small private construction companies, our steel quality is very good, and we are not afraid of no market at all." ”

"And it will soon usher in the peak period of construction, whether it is real estate construction or paving bridges, a large amount of steel will be used, and domestic steel mills will also spring up in this period, we will seize the opportunity, this market must have a place for us."

Seeing that Zhang Yi said lightly, as if he had insight into market opportunities, Chen Jianming was worried: "If the market demand goes up, large enterprises like Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant will also increase production, and we are not competitive with them." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The market demand is very large, and in a few years, the production volume of these large factories will be completely insufficient to meet the needs of the market, and there will be a situation where supply exceeds demand." ”

In fact, there are many things that cannot be explained to Chen Jianming, Zhang Yi is a reborn person, and he knows the development process of society well, especially the development of the steel industry, he has personally participated in it, so he is very clear about the market demand.

In the first few years of the 21st century, there will be a big wave of production and construction, and the demand for steel has skyrocketed, and a ton of steel bars has risen to more than 4,000, and many construction companies have to queue up to go to steel mills to pull steel bars.

This situation will last for nearly 10 years, probably after 08 years, the problem of overcapacity will slowly appear, and the price of steel bars has fallen below the limit, to less than 2,000, and it can not be sold, so it can only be transferred to Southeast Asia and other countries for dumping.

Chen Jianming didn't understand this situation, but he still chose to believe Zhang Yi, after all, Zhang Yi brought him a lot of surprises, whether it was technology or factory construction, he had his own unique set of insights.

After Zhang Yi's task was issued, he arranged an emergency meeting with the person in charge of each section in the workshop overnight to negotiate the task arrangement and production cooperation, and urged the section leader to immediately refine the tasks of each worker and hand over the list to him for review.

After his audit, he also personally went to the site of the section to understand the situation, and there were more than 200 workers in each section of the blast furnace workshop.

After everything was ready, the blast furnace plant began to produce materials, and Zhang Yi and Chen Jianming also went to the scene to "supervise the battle".

In the blast furnace in production, it takes 5-6 hours for a furnace of molten iron to produce, but the first furnace of molten iron takes 2 days, from the beginning of preparation to the present, 4 days have passed, the equipment runs 24 hours a day, and the workers are arranged to work in shifts, three shifts and two shifts, and produce non-stop.

Zhang Yi and Chen Jianming stayed at the production site when they were tomorrow, and Rao Guangyuan accompanied them, and the section leader constantly came to report to him.

After a long wait, Rao Guangyuan said excitedly: "Two leaders, the blast furnace is ready to release molten iron." ”

Zhang Yi also said happily: "Very good, everyone has worked hard for a while." ”

Chen Jianming also smiled: "After the molten iron came out, we were halfway to the battle, which is a good start." ”

Chen Jianming is talking about process problems, and has been worried that the sulfuric acid slag content is too high in sulfur and phosphorus, after all, so many large steel plants dare not touch the sulfuric acid slag, and only Zhang Yi dares to invest more than 100 million yuan in it.

Now that I can finally produce molten iron, the heart I have been carrying for all this time has fallen to the ground.

Zhang Yi said confidently: "After the molten iron comes out, go directly to the converter and smelt the first batch of steel, I want to see what the quality of the steel we have smelted." ”

This time the production of steel from sulfuric acid slag is also the first time in his life to participate in industrial production, since then, he is not only a scientific researcher who can only drill in the laboratory, his other identity will be an entrepreneur.
