Chapter 662: Be a Qualified Spoiler

If the Japanese are really so kind, Fang Mingyuan believes that sows can go up the tree!

Judging from the information that has been revealed in later generations, the Japanese also have their own interests and needs to support Haibao Iron and Steel Company. The construction of Haibao Iron and Steel Company will undoubtedly drive Japan's iron and steel industry, machinery manufacturing industry and related supporting industries, and stimulate Japan's national economy. At that time, Keidanren President Toshio Tsuchimitsu of the Mitsui Foundation Toshiba Corporation estimated that the construction of the Haibao Iron and Steel Company would probably increase Japan's GDP by 2 percent!

Twenty percent, one-fiftieth percent, but multiplied by the gross domestic product of Shijie's second largest economy, that's a huge amount of money that would make any consortium on Shijie excited. Moreover, it was precisely with the opportunity of Haibao Iron and Steel Company that Nippon Steel saw the urgent need of Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry for the introduction of Jishu, and entered Huaxia's steel industry by providing production equipment and Jishu as the guide. Throughout the large steel mills in Japan at that time, almost all of them imported equipment and jishu from Nippon Steel.

There is nothing wrong with introducing equipment and jishu, after all, this is an indispensable step for a country to catch up with the shijie level in its own weak economic field. Even if you look at the economically developed countries of Shijie, no country dares to say that it will never introduce equipment and jishu from other countries. However, such as Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry, which is controlled by the Japanese steel industry on a large scale, is not only unique among Shijie countries, but also extremely rare.

It is precisely because Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry has applied Japan's steelmaking equipment and jishu on a large scale that the domestic low-grade iron ore cannot meet the standard, and it has to choose to import high-grade iron ore from Australia and Brazil. This paved the way for the future rise in iron ore and sea freight.

At the same time that Japan exported a large number of steelmaking equipment and jishu to China and carried out a series of joint ventures, Japan quietly invested in international iron ore suppliers and vigorously developed the shipping industry, so as to obtain excess profits of nearly 10 billion US dollars per year during the great development of China's iron and steel industry in the future.

Every Chinese person who has experienced the first decade of the new century will never forget that in 2005, the price of Shijie iron ore soared by 70% compared with the previous year! In 2008, after rising for several consecutive years, the price of Shijie iron ore once again skyrocketed by 65% compared with the previous year! In 2007, the sea freight of iron ore also rose year after year, and there was a 120% skyrocket! This time the price has skyrocketed, and Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry has paid a heavy price for it!

Due to the large number of Japanese iron and steel companies participating in the shipping industry and international iron ore suppliers, the impact of the soaring iron ore and shipping costs can be offset by equity dividends, so in these surges, Japanese iron and steel companies are the first to reach an agreement with them, and then these international iron ore suppliers and shipping companies turn back, in order to force Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry to commit, and in this negotiation process, Haibao Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. played an extremely disgraceful role in it.

Although it is said that until Fang Mingyuan's death in his previous life, there was no official explanation of the cat, and it is estimated that ordinary people will not be able to see official news from the government in this life - if that is really the case, this is of course a big scandal. But as the saying goes, there is no wind and no làng, and there are not no smart people in the Chinese people, so naturally some people analyze the process of Japan's layout of the Chinese steel industry from various signs.

Fang Mingyuan in his previous life, even if he understood, he could only lament, but he was powerless to return to the sky.

Although it is said that it is impossible to compete with the steel industry, the second largest economic power in Shijie, with its own strength! In particular, Fang Mingyuan completely imagined that at that time, how many people in China alone would not only not help but also secretly stumble on themselves, but in this life, since he decided to enter the steel industry, then he must not allow the Japanese to plunder wealth from China on a large scale so easily. Even if you can't compete with the Japanese, you have to be a qualified spoiler!

The news of the Fang family's plan to build a modern steel mill in Liao Province soon spread through various channels among the top echelons of the central government......

It's not that no one put it forward, although the opening of the steel industry to private enterprises has been put on the agenda, but in the end it has not been officially announced to the public, and the Fang family has entered the steel industry, for now, it is still inconsistent with the law!

However, it was soon pointed out that the Fang family had industries in Hong Kong and Japan, and also had economic exchanges with the United States, so if the Fang family transferred overseas capital and entered China in the form of Hong Kong, Japanese, and American capital, wouldn't it have avoided the constraints of domestic policy? Moreover, the opening of the steel industry to private enterprises, the central government has been close to reaching a consensus, but it has not yet been officially announced to the outside world, if the Fang family is forced to withdraw, then after a year or two, when the policy is officially announced, the Fang family has given up and re-entered the steel industry, is not Liao Province suffered a big loss?

Since the beginning of reform and opening up, the position of the three northeastern provinces in China's economic map has been declining day by day, a large number of state-owned enterprises have fallen into difficulties, a large number of workers have been laid off, and the social environment has deteriorated day by day. The huge investment of the Fang family, even if it cannot reverse this decline, can also boost the economic growth of Liao Province in the short term and reduce the pressure on the government. If it can bring Hong Kong capital into the northeast, wouldn't it be a good thing? Just look at today's Qinxi Province, who can pack a ticket, all this can't happen?

The dispute between the two sides was quite fierce, and neither could convince anyone. But soon, the side that supported the Fang family dropped another bomb, and the Fang family held several stainless steel production jishu transferred by Albert Iron and Steel Company, but due to the agreement between the two parties at that time, the jishu could not be transferred or authorized, and could only be used for the Fang family's own industry. At present, no one in the domestic steel industry can produce these stainless steel products, that is, it can meet the growing domestic demand for this kind of stainless steel. If Fangjia's steelmaking plant can be successfully launched, it can undoubtedly fill the product gap in the domestic steel industry and save a lot of foreign exchange required for imported products every year!

This stick can knock the opposition side dizzy, Huaxia government fǔ for the foreign exchange in the hand, it can be said that in the shijie big country, it is definitely among the best, all domestic enterprises export foreign exchange, must be handed over to the central bank, and when enterprises need to import, they must apply to the central bank, approved by the central bank, can use foreign exchange. As for ordinary citizens, foreign exchange is even more rare for them, and only when they go abroad, can they take a letter of introduction, a certificate of work, a passport, etc., to the designated bank to exchange that pitiful bit of foreign exchange. It can be said that the amount of the country's foreign exchange reserves has always attracted the attention of the senior leaders of the central government.

Therefore, when the side that supported the Fang family proposed that allowing the Fang family to enter the steel industry could save a lot of foreign exchange for the country, the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the Fang family.

And as this news spread, other provinces in China were also very moved after learning the news!

First of all, the investment of 3 billion yuan in the iron and steel industry is quite an astonishing amount for any province in China in '94. And therefore, the pulling effect on the local economy can be as high as tens of billions of gross domestic product! So as to effectively drive the local economic development and solve the employment problem of local workers! You must know that in '94, the leaders of these provinces were very confused about how to solve the problem of finding a large number of laid-off workers in the province. Of course, problems are also opportunities, and if we say that cadres who can solve this problem will inevitably become the target of priority promotion!

Secondly, in the future, the products produced by steel mills, since they can fill the gap in domestic production, it means that there is no need to worry about sales in a short time, and they may even be able to export in large quantities! These leaders, even if they don't understand the Shijie Iron and Steel Industry, there will definitely be people under them who understand the status of Albert Steel Company in the Shijie Iron and Steel Industry, and the stainless steel jishu obtained from it is definitely the most advanced in China, even if it is not the most advanced in Shijie. If such an enterprise can land in this province, the tax revenue it can contribute is also an extremely considerable amount.

Third, everyone has taken a fancy to the close ties between the Fang family and the Hong Kong Hao Mén Guo family, as a well-known Hao Mén in Hong Kong, the Guo family's influence in Hong Kong's business circles is so great that no one can ignore it, and in the 94 years of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan capital undoubtedly occupied the most important share in attracting foreign investment. In this regard, Qinxi Province and Yazhou are all good examples.

Especially those provinces in the southeast coastal region have a deep and clear understanding of the changes in Yazhou. Today's Yazhou is no longer the poor land of two years ago, with the development of Yazhou by the Fang family and the Guo family, it has become a dazzling new star in the south. In just two years, the country's GDP has doubled several times, and it has become a well-known tourist attraction and convention center in the country, attracting a large number of tourists not only from China, but also from Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, the United States and Japan.

In particular, Yazhou's exhibition industry has begun to take shape. Last year, more than 200 companies from Hong Kong, Europe and the United States held international conferences and exhibitions in Yazhou. And with the development and construction of Yazhou, this number is still rising!

With such an obvious example in front of us, how can we not let the leaders of these provinces rush to the Fang family's investment this time?
