Chapter 98: I can put money into it
Halfway through the wine, Tu Hao listened to Cheng Zhifeng's words and frowned slightly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, he was not angry, but thinking.
Just now, Cheng Zhifeng told Tu Hao that he was going to buy a small and medium-sized steel plant and its affiliated iron ore mines.
This steel mill is called Yanshan Steel Mill, and Tu Hao is no stranger to it, because this steel mill is located more than ten kilometers south of Luancheng County.
Yanshan, although there is a mountain word, but it is not a mountain in the real sense, at most it is not a low soil slope.
To be precise, it should be called Tiepo.
Because the top of the mountain is full of iron ore.
Not only is there iron ore on top of Yanshan, but also more than ten kilometers of ground near Yanshan, digging down a few meters deep, and there is also iron ore below.
Luancheng was once the largest open-pit iron mine in Asia Minor, with reserves of more than 1.2 billion tons.
Of course, the Yanshan iron ore mine only accounts for a small part of this huge reserve.
The reason why Tu Hao frowned was because the steel industry is now very sluggish, and people used to say that the price of steel has reached the price of cabbage.
But now the price of steel is not as expensive as cabbage.
"Isn't this a clear sign that you're going to lose money?" Tu Hao thought for a while, looked at Cheng Zhifeng and said.
"Hehe" Cheng Zhifeng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then said: "How can I do a loss-making deal?" That's ......"
It turned out that Cheng Zhifeng had a good buddy named Lin Zhenye, who grew up together since childhood. Before going to college, both were in the same class.
However, when they went to college, the two chose different schools and different majors.
Cheng Zhifeng studied business administration, while Lin Zhenye chose metallurgical technology. After graduating from university, Cheng Zhifeng chose to start a business, while Lin Zhenye chose to study in the United States.
This is fifteen years.
Lin Zhenye, who has entered the age of no doubt, chose to return to China at the beginning of this year and brought back his latest research results in the United States, an ultra-high-strength steel.
Lin Zhenye had planned to work with the state to produce this ultra-high-strength steel.
But he was cut off by Cheng Zhifeng.
However, because Cheng Zhifeng's own funds were not enough, he thought of Tu Hao.
After figuring out the reason why Cheng Zhifeng wanted to acquire Yanshan Steel Mill, Tu Hao's frowning brows stretched, but he did not directly accept it.
Because he doesn't know anything about the steel industry, even if Cheng Zhifeng has a good relationship with him and won't cheat him, but he doesn't say that he has to know everything about doing business, but he must have some understanding, right?
Seeing that Tu Hao was still thinking about it, Cheng Zhifeng continued: "I told you Haozi, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop." ”
"The ultra-high-strength steel brought by Lao Lin this time, if it is produced, can reach the world's leading level. This kind of steel can now only be produced by Lao Mei. Moreover, the maximum use of this steel is not civilian, but military. ”
"Military?" Tu Hao picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, then raised his eyes to Cheng Zhifeng and asked.
Cheng Zhifeng nodded and explained: "This ultra-high-strength steel can not only be used for ships, but also for aerospace. Although our country has made a breakthrough in this kind of steel, both technology and output are in short supply. ”
"If our steel is produced, sales will definitely not be a problem. You must know that in the past two years, our country's warships have been like dumplings. ”
"And this steel can also be used in the landing gear of aircraft, the bearings of aero engines, and the blades."
"Although this kind of steel is mainly used in the military, there will be no shortage of civilian demand, such as the automobile industry, the machinery processing industry, etc."
"Although our country is the largest country in steel production, it is also the largest importer of special steel. Our country's special steel has been in short supply. ”
"So even if the steel industry is very sluggish now, the impact is not too great for steel mills that specialize in the production of special steel."
"The most important thing is that our special steel has leading technical advantages."
After speaking, Cheng Zhifeng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then looked at Tu Hao.
Tu Hao is not an angry young man or a military fan. But occasionally I will visit the military forum, and I have heard of the ultra-high strength steel that Cheng Zhifeng said is extremely important for military use.
He remembered that at a military forum a while ago, he saw experts from a country who mentioned that there was still a big gap between the country's ultra-high-strength steel and the developed countries when talking about the country's aero engines.
As a Chinese, although Tu Hao does not have patriotic obsessive-compulsive disorder, if he can contribute to the strength of his country and be profitable, he is a hundred willing.
However, he doesn't understand technology, and he doesn't even know about this industry, which is Tu Hao's biggest hesitation.
looked at Cheng Zhifeng, with the relationship between the two, Tu Hao knew that he would not deceive himself.
Therefore, even though he hesitated, Tu Hao still decided to have an in-depth understanding, and if he could, investment could still be made.
After all, now the state has lowered interest rates several times a year, and there is not much money to be made by putting money in the bank, right?
So, Tu Hao looked at Cheng Zhifeng and asked, "Brother Cheng, how much will this project cost?" ”
Cheng Zhifeng saw Tu Hao's intentions, smiled, stretched out two fingers, and said, "Two billion." ”
"Two billion?" Tu Hao's eyes widened and he said.
Cheng Zhifeng smiled and said: "Although Yanshan Steel Mill has been losing money for the past two years, it is an enterprise invested by our Luancheng government, and there have been rumors recently that it is going to be restructured, so many people are eyeing this piece of fat." ”
"Therefore, the acquisition of Yanshan Steel Mill is a lot of money, estimated to be at least one billion. Moreover, with the current equipment of Yanshan Steel Mill, it is not possible to produce this kind of steel, and it is necessary to import equipment from abroad and upgrade the equipment. Again, this is a huge overhead. ”
"But fortunately, Lao Lin can find an eliminated production line in the United States, although it is eliminated, but if it is improved, it can still be used."
"And then add personnel adjustments, building laboratories, etc., and two billion is actually just a conservative estimate."
"I decided to put my entire net worth on this, but I was only able to come up with 1.2 billion, and I borrowed another 400 million, and there was still a gap of 400 million."
"I don't know if you have so much money, Haozi?"
Money, Tu Hao has it.
Although it has cost a lot to buy a house and a car recently, there are still more than 900 million.
However, when he was about to invest his own 400 million yuan, Tu Hao's already hesitant heart was even more hesitant.
That's not four hundred, tens of thousands, but four hundred million.
However, thinking of what Cheng Zhifeng did for himself a while ago, thinking of the friendship between the two, and thinking that Cheng Zhifeng actually wanted to press all his own net worth, obviously he was very optimistic about this matter, so Tu Hao gritted his teeth, drank half a glass of wine in the wine glass, and then said: "Brother Cheng, I can invest money in it." ”
