After the first batch of molten iron was released from the blast furnace, the crane immediately hoisted the molten iron tank and transported it to the converter workshop for direct steelmaking.

The workers of the converter have been waiting there for a long time, and as soon as the car arrives, they immediately take action, so that the blast furnace is constantly pumping molten iron, the converter is smelting, and the two workshops are running normally.

Zhang Yi ate casually in the canteen of the factory at noon, and then returned to the production site, the converter steelmaking will take several hours, and the smelted steel will be sent to the hot rolling workshop, and some will be sent to the cold rolling workshop, so that a complete process will be formed.

Zhang Yidu followed the production process of the first batch of steel, from the blast furnace workshop to the cold rolling workshop, he stayed for a day, until more than 8 o'clock in the evening, the first batch of steel was formed and bundled, and was stacked in the finished product workshop.

Zhang Yi has been staying at the scene, Chen Jianming can only be by his side, the employees see that the leaders of the factory are in front of them, they dare not slack off, everyone is full of energy, and they are working hard.

Looking at the steel bars in the mouth of "Tusky" (a device that constantly spits out "silk", spit out the "silk" straightened and then bundled into rolls, that is, bundles of steel bars), Chen Jianming pointed to the steel bar and said happily: "Until now, we dare to say that we have completed a set of production processes, and this batch of steel is of great significance for us to open the door to the steel market." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Now the door of the steel market has just opened a corner to us, we have to push it open, our first batch of steel sales is 200 tons, according to the current market price can be sold to 600,000, excluding the cost we should be able to earn 500,000." ”

Chen Jianming sighed and said: "500,000 is too little, we spent more than 3 million yuan to start the equipment once, and we continue to produce like this every day, although there are more and more steel, but the money is useless, we can't afford this loss." ”

"Second uncle, don't worry." Zhang Yi chuckled: "Although the 500,000 is less, but our cost is only 100,000, that is to say, our profit margin is very large, I estimate that our annual blast furnace output is 800,000 tons, if our steel can be sold, then the profit of our smelter is 2 billion, this figure is objective." ”

"2 billion?" Chen Jianming was taken aback.

Previously, he was worried that the sales volume of steel was not good, after all, the smelter had just started, so the budget was 400,000 tons, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to double it, and the production volume of 800,000 tons is not small, which can be comparable to some steel mills that have been in production for many years.

Rao Guangyuan also felt that his boss was simply too bold.

"2 billion is just a small amount of money, we have the confidence to expand the scale in the short term, this year we will first produce in accordance with the target of 800,000 tons, next year we will continue to expand the scale, and I also plan to go to a few more blast furnaces, and at the same time the production of special steel workshops will also be carried out, so that our factory will be on the right track, don't say 2 billion, 20 billion we can earn." Zhang Yi said lightly.

Now is the golden age of steel development, if Zhang Yi does not grasp this opportunity, it will not be a waste of his identity as a reborn, and his real goal is special steel.

Although the demand for ordinary steel will skyrocket in the next few years, it will also bring a lot of economic benefits to the smelter, but the real vitality of the product is special steel, and ordinary steel will enter the bubble period after a peak period.

At the peak, many people thought they could make money and kept investing money in this market, but they lost themselves and were buried in the bubble when it crept in.

Those who really have great wisdom are those who can retreat bravely, and they will accept it when they see it, and they will earn some if they can earn some, and it is the king of the shopping mall to make a steady profit without losing money.

And Zhang Yi doesn't have to worry about these at all, he knows when the bubble period will come, so he will make a lot of money in the golden period, and then transform and concentrate on special steel between the bubble period, so as to make the smelter bigger and stronger.

Hearing Zhang Yi say so firmly, Chen Jianming's heart also began to heat up, if the smelter can achieve such a great development, then he, the director of the factory, will naturally follow the scenery, the smelter used to be at its peak, the annual profit was only two or three billion, now Zhang Yi can bring so many economic benefits in a year, if you insist on doing it, then the smelter can not be among the ranks of first-class industrial enterprises in Jiangcheng?

These are like dreams, in the past few years, he never thought that he could fight a turnaround battle, and even at the peak of the smelter, he didn't dare to think that one day he could be compared with a central enterprise like Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant, and now Zhang Yi planted a dream for him, and it was a dream that could be touched, which made him more determined to follow Zhang Yi behind.

"I'll step up contact with the sales and sell the steel as soon as possible, I don't believe it, our steel can still rot in the warehouse." After coming back to his senses, Chen Jianming thought that the problem to be solved now is the sales problem, which is also related to the key to whether the factory can operate normally.

Rao Guangyuan said next to him: "Now our eyes are on the construction industry, which is not wrong in itself, but in recent years, there will be more and more industries that need steel, such as the machinery industry needs our medium and heavy plates, round steel and cold plates, the mold industry needs 45# carbon steel and die steel, and the scaffolding factory needs our galvanized pipes, which are our potential users." ”

"Well, we're all going to open up these markets." Zhang Yi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, we can do business in Southeast Asia." ”

"Southeast Asia?" Chen Jianming and Rao Guangyuan were surprised.

They have been in the steel industry for twenty or thirty years, and they are all staying in small factories, and their eyes have always been on the domestic market, but they have never thought that steel will be exported abroad, in their opinion, the export of steel must be of very high quality, and it is the business of several large steel enterprises, they these small smelters dare not think about this.

The process of exporting steel is not simple, and it must also meet the policy needs of the state, the current Qingshan smelter is private, and there is no bias in national policy, so it is too difficult to export steel.

"I'll talk about that later." Zhang Yi said with a smile, he just remembered the sales measures of steel more than ten years later, and then the domestic steel production exceeded 700 million tons, the market was saturated, many steel companies have closed down, and the country had to introduce a lot of policies to restrict the production of steel.

But after so many years of steel development, there are 200,000 employees in larger steel enterprises, and these employees have to be raised, so the steel mills can't all be shut down, right?

As a result, a lot of steel is sold abroad, most of which go to Southeast Asian countries, which are in rapid development and need a large amount of steel, which can just consume part of the domestic steel.

Zhang Yi thinks of Southeast Asian countries, but also wants to establish this market relationship first, and when the domestic market is saturated, his steel sales can still be guaranteed.

It's the immediate production that counts.

"Let's get rid of this batch of steel first." Zhang Yi pointed to the steel bars that were piled higher and higher in the warehouse, and then turned his head to Rao Guangyuan and instructed: "Chief Engineer Rao, you arrange for the quality inspection department to immediately sample samples, if there is no problem, you can directly notify Mr. Su of the second construction to pull away, we are now very low sales, but we are all counting on Mr. Su, the gold owner." ”
