Chapter 20 Encounters Lu Mountain Again

Soon after He Jun and the others went upstairs, Fang Mingyuan and Mei Yuanwu also came upstairs, and Chen Zhong stayed below to deal with Wu Weiguo and them. After entering the box, Zhao Ya and the others had already ordered food and were waiting for them to come up. For their delay, Chai Jing yù complained for a while.

"Mingyuan, Brother Jun is from the City Procuratorate?" asked Mei Yuanwu during the meal.

"Well, the head of the Municipal Public Prosecutor's Office in charge of criminal proceedings. What's the matter?Want to pull him in his career?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. The main liliang of the Mei family is in the military, and there are not many people in the officialdom, which he knows.

"Then you think too highly of me, but ......" Mei Yuanwu said in a low voice to Chai Jing, "You have to go to the Chai family, Zuo Dongsheng, the chief prosecutor of the Jingcheng City Procuratorate, is Grandpa Chai's original secretary." ”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be slightly moved, this is something he doesn't know, as the saying goes, this county official is not as good as the current management, this Zuo Dongsheng is both a county official and the current management. If he is willing to help He Jun, He Jun can at least fight for seven or eight years less.

Fang Mingyuan's cousins, although there were also those who were unsuccessful in their previous lives, there were also those who had real learning. He Jun is undoubtedly one of them.

It's just that all along, his aunt and uncle have refused to accept his help easily, but chose to develop on their own, which has caused Fang Mingyuan's maternal side to have a low social status today. Since he met it today, of course Fang Mingyuan didn't mind, and pulled his cousin. In his previous life, He Jun eventually became the deputy chief procurator of the Beijing Procuratorate and the chief procurator of the district procuratorate. In this life, what kind of height he can reach, Fang Mingyuan is still looking forward to it.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan's slight joy, Mei Yuanwu immediately patted Xiōng and assured that he would definitely help He Jun when he said to Chai Jing about this.

"What are you two talking about?" Chai Jing said in surprise as he noticed the glances that the two of them cast from time to time.

"Nothing, just talk about it. Since someone is willing to do it for him, Fang Mingyuan naturally won't mention this matter to himself and Chai Jing. Anyway, with his relationship with the Chai family, the Chai family has to give it to him.

"Hey, Mingyuan, let me ask you, are the major steel companies on Shijie today all from the United States, Japan and the European Union. The European Union doesn't care about him, and Japan, which is poor in resources, can also become a well-known steel producer? And surpasses the United States in many aspects? Can our country's steel industry replicate the Japanese model?" asked Chai Jing with a wink of curious eyes.

This is not an easy question to answer, Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time before saying: "Of course, there are many reasons why Japan was able to become a big country in shijie steel production after the war. First of all, Japan already had a fairly strong capital in the steel industry before World War II, although during World War II, due to the bombing of the Allied forces, Japan's steel industry suffered a heavy blow. But the foundation was still there, so there was a revival soon after the war. Second, for more than two decades after the war, Japan had a low wage advantage over the United States. In particular, in the period after the Second World War, the yen plummeted, and the average Japanese worker wage was a quarter of that of the United States. This advantage is fully recognized and exploited by Japanese steel companies. This has undoubtedly improved the competitiveness of the products of the Japanese steel industry in the shijie market. ”

Third, it is precisely because of the lack of resources in Japan that the Japanese have always had a heavy sense of crisis. Therefore, Japanese steel companies choose to import high-quality and low-cost ores, coal, oil and other raw materials around the world, and have built the largest submarine warehouse in Shijie and actively invested in Shijie's ore production enterprises, so as to reduce production costs. ”

"We have an advantage in this point, our country has a vast land and abundant resources, how can it be compared to Japan. Mei Yuanwu smiled proudly.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head, and Mei Yuanwu and Chai Jing said in surprise: "Isn't it?"

Mingyuan said that it is true that my country has a lot of land and resources, but it depends on how you look at the abundance of resources. If you talk about the total amount, it is naturally in the forefront of shijie, but if you want to talk about per capita, it will be in the ranks of the bottom of shijie. Zhao Ya said.

Mei Yuanwu and Chai Jing were stunned for a long time, and nodded slowly.

In Chinese education, we always proudly say that China is rich in land and resources, but it never mentions the backwardness of the per capita level, which certainly makes the younger generation have a strong sense of pride, but at the same time, it also makes them have no sense of crisis.

In the previous life, the degree of expenditure on resources, energy, and manpower in the production process of Chinese enterprises can be said to be appalling compared with European and American countries.

However, due to the lack of local resources, Japanese companies have to rely on imported resources for production, and Japanese companies have never missed the opportunity to reduce costs.

Fang Mingyuan once saw some information. Taking the United States and Japan as examples, in the 50s, the volume of new blast furnaces in the two countries was basically at the same level, mainly building blast furnaces of about 2,000 cubic meters. In the 60s, the Japanese steel companies began to build a large number of super-large blast furnaces with a capacity of more than 5,000 cubic meters, while the United States did not even build a blast furnace of more than 4,000 cubic meters during the same period.

By the 80s, the vast majority of blast furnaces in Japan had exceeded 2,000 cubic meters, while less than 10 percent of blast furnaces in the United States had reached this level.

Another example is that the number of steel mills built in the United States is not only much smaller than that of Japan, but also generally on a skewed scale. At that time, the same steel plant built in Japan was the largest in Shijie. It accounts for more than three-quarters of Japan's crude steel production. Large-scale production will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in costs.

Fourth, the reason why the Japanese were able to become a big country in Shijie steel, and a large number of steel products were exported to Shijie countries, was also because they used advanced jishu in production as much as possible. For example, in the production process, pure oxygen top blowing and continuous casting are used, and computers are widely used to improve work efficiency in management, both of which have brought a lot of cost savings. In this way, the low price is naturally welcomed by Shijie countries. ”

"Fifth, the rational production layout of Japanese steel companies is an important reason for their low-cost advantage. If you pay attention to Japanese steel companies, you will find that Japanese steel companies tend to choose factories close to seaports because of the characteristics of raw material imports and product exports, and many factories are built in seaports to reduce transportation costs. Some were even built on the island of Xiǎo, which was reclaimed from the sea. ”

"Mingyuan, since this is the case, weishenme your steel plant is not located in the coastal area? Like Lu Province, there are many ports that can be used for the import of raw materials and the export of products. Mei Yuanwu asked. It seems that he has not forgotten Fang Mingyuan's rejection of Lu Province at the beginning.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Yuan Wu, this question, I believe that you will understand it soon." Now if I tell you, I'm afraid you won't be impressed!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Mei Yuanwu muttered: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, it's always so mysterious." ”

As a result, U.S. Steel Corporation, which has long been known for its high labor productivity, has been hit hard by the rapid rise of Japanese steel companies. In the seventies and eighties, Japanese steel companies produced 10 tons of steel per 10,000 people, compared to 8 tons in the United States. The wage content per ton of steel cost is $47 in Japan, which is lower than $51 in the United States. In this way, the Japanese have made their own steel factories more competitive than the United States through their own efforts, and Nissan has continuously exported steel to the United States, and under the pressure of the American steel enterprises, the US government has even had to take action to control the import of Japanese steel. ”

"So what is the labor productivity of our national steel company?" Chai Jing asked.

Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, this is a state secret, of course I don't know." Maybe you go back and ask Aunt Chai, and she will be able to give you an answer. "She? she's just asking questions, not answering them. I'll have to find all the answers myself. Chai Jing said with a headache, "Originally, I thought that you were going to do this business, and you should be more clear about these things, but I didn't expect that you didn't know anything." ”

"This is also a state secret?" Mei Yuanwu said in surprise, "Weishenme companies in European and American countries don't hide these data?"

Fang Mingyuan shrugged, Huaxia Iron and Steel Company's labor productivity was kept secret, and he could still understand it from a certain point of view. For example, in the previous life, not only did many of the state economic data that should have been made available to the public become state secrets, but even the resumes of some cadres became state secrets and were not allowed to be released to the public.

"To sum up, I think my country's iron and steel companies want to copy the Japanese model......" Fang Mingyuan was especially unfinished, and the box mén was suddenly kicked open, and then two people walked in from the outside.

In front of him is a young and beautiful NV person, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a duck egg face, and long shawl hair, but this dress looks very cool, the upper body is a short-sleeved white sèt shirt, and the hem is also buttoned around the waist, lù out of the xiǎo brute waist and cute navel. The lower body is a miniskirt, lù out of two slender and white long tuǐ, which attracts the attention of men very much.

And walking behind her, Fang Mingyuan recognized that it was the xiǎo overlord Lu Shan, who had not been seen for a long time!
