In Fan Wuxi's impression, the most obvious opponent of the Japanese in controlling the upstream of resources is the domestic Baosteel price increase case.

Mitsui & Co., Japan's largest general trading company, has long been aware that the Chinese market will drive up the spot price of iron ore, thus creating a community of interests such as Nippon Steel, Mitsui & Co., MOL Lines & Marine, Shanghai Baosteel and Brazil's Vale.

Mitsui's penetration of Baosteel can be traced back to the beginning of Baosteel's establishment, as early as the preparation period of Baosteel, it was from Japan's largest steel company Nippon Steel to import technology and equipment, and Mitsui & Co. owns 20% of Nippon Steel's equity, at the same time, Toshiba and Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries, the backbone of the Mitsui consortium, cooperated with Nippon Steel to become Baosteel's equipment suppliers, and Baosteel could only choose to import iron ore from Australia and Brazil.

According to the Japanese, the steel production equipment provided by Japan is too advanced to absorb China's low-grade iron ore, so Baosteel's raw materials are dependent on imports.

It is no longer known whether the Japanese-made steel production equipment will not be able to absorb China's low-grade iron ore, but it has laid a crucial foundation for China's steel companies to find themselves in a difficult situation in the future.

Suffice it to say, Po has been choked by the neck by the Japanese and has to follow their road map.

Such examples are poor in China, which is also the evil result of blindly introducing foreign equipment, and finally trapping oneself, step by step into the trap that others have already designed, unable to extricate themselves.

What Fan Wuxian wants to do now is to seize mineral resources with Japanese companies overseas in addition to seizing the market with foreign companies at home, because he knows very well that the Japanese have always had a unique vision in their mineral resources strategy, and first choking their throat is equivalent to reducing the pressure on domestic raw materials from the side.

As for how much benefit he will get in the future, it is self-evident, anyway, whoever is cheaper can't be cheaper than those grandchildren.

Later, Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation signed a contract with Japan's Merchant Lines Mitsui Company to use 300,000-ton large mining ships to carry Baosteel's Brazilian imported ore, and Merchant Lines Mitsui carried more than 10 million tons of iron ore for Baosteel every year.

Yes. Since the day of its birthplace, Baosteel has relied on Mitsui's technology, talents, and logistics to be deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

The weather in Jiangdi is still so bad. The rain did not stop for a while, and Boss Zhu still arrived in Changping in the early morning of the next day.

This time, there were more than a dozen leading comrades accompanying Boss Zhu. Basically, they are the leaders and experts of the National Defense Headquarters. After meeting Fan Heng. At the Jiangnan Provincial Government, the people learned about the flood prevention work of the entire provinces and cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through a video and telephone conference. After that, he went to the Jiangnan embankment to inspect the flood control work.

The Jiangnan embankment is also in full swing at this time. However, after renovating it, it can be said that it is solid. After all, Fan Wuxian spared no blood in this project for the sake of his father's reputation. The building materials used are also really good, and he knows very well that the flood situation will be very serious this year. He has made many special designs for possible dangers, so he is confident that there will be a problem with the Jiangnan embankment.

Besides. If the water level exceeds the warning line too much. He can then consider appropriately discharging the flood through the Bailushan Reservoir. It's mostly empty now. It can reduce the pressure on the embankment in the south of the Yangtze River to a large extent.

The leaders are meeting over there. Song Qing and Fan Wuxian sat outside chatting.

"Have you heard any news from the grapevine?" Song Qing asked Fan Wuxian.

"What's the gossip?" Fan Wuxian was a little surprised.

Song Qing replied, "Some people say that the reason why the flood situation is serious this time is because of the interception of the Three Gorges, where there is a dragon vein, after the dragon vein, the feng shui has changed, so this year's Yangtze River flood situation is particularly serious." ”

Fan Wuxian scratched his head and said, "If you want to say that it is a feng shui problem, there is some truth. Originally, this was caused by the El NiΓ±o phenomenon and the problem of soil erosion upstream, and it was about the wind, about the water, and naturally it was about feng shui. ”

When they said this, Boss Zhu and the others were coming out of the meeting, and when they heard Fan Wuxi gossiping here, they asked, "What kind of talk is Mr. Fan making again?" ”

"It's just a matter of talking-" Fan Wuxian stood up, shook hands with Boss Zhu, and then looked at the people who were following over, there were one or two acquaintances inside, and after saying hello, he asked, "Now that the flood situation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is serious, our Fan's Investment Group, as an important enterprise in China, especially those with many branches in Jiangnan, has the obligation to contribute to the flood control work." If there is something that we need to contribute money to, we will try to help solve it. ”

Boss Zhu nodded and said, "Regarding this, I have never been pregnant, if you hadn't found out earlier, the situation of the Jiangnan Embankment at this time would be much more dangerous than the Jingjiang Embankment." ”

Boss Zhu, there is a reason why they are saying this, and the latest satellite cloud images of the National Meteorological Observatory and the National Defense General have just shown that in the past two weeks, the weather of heavy rain will not change greatly, especially the rain is moving to the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the total flood volume of the entire Yangtze River will reach an unprecedented peak, bringing greater pressure to the flood control work in the middle and lower reaches.

It is conceivable that if it weren't for the fact that there was a nest case in Jiangnan Province, but the secretary and the governor were both dismissed, it would not have been Fan Heng's turn to preside over the overall situation, let alone find out the problem of the Jiangnan embankment, and then there would be a matter of rebuilding the embankment.

As soon as they thought of this situation, the high-level people felt rather frightened: If the Jiangnan embankment is destroyed, the lives and property of at least tens of millions of people in Jiangnan Province will suffer serious losses.

You must know that the country's investment in the Jingjiang embankment is far more than that of the Jiangnan embankment, but now the Jingjiang embankment has been in danger many times, which makes people worry, in comparison, the Jiangnan embankment, which is no less stressed than the Jingjiang embankment, but there is no danger What does the problem mean?

The high-level is already a little worried about the construction of the Jingjiang embankment at this time, who knows if it is also the same as the original Jiangnan embankment, the outside is bright, and the inside is loose?

"We're going to Jingjiang Embankment to have a look, do you want to go over together?" Boss Zhu asked Fan Wuxian.

"If there are too many people, I won't join in the fun." Fan Wuxi glanced at the attachΓ©s and said to Boss Zhu with some uncertainty.

"What about the three helicopters, sit down, I heard that you also have some experience in flood control, just for your reference, the reference is now brainstorming.

Boss Zhu said.

"Oh, then I'll take a seat." Fan Wuxian nodded and agreed.

The three helicopters soon flew to the Jingjiang embankment, and when Boss Zhu, Fan Heng and others came down, they immediately aroused the cheers of the masses and soldiers guarding the embankment.

Boss Zhu stood on the big iron bull in the distance, so he pointed at it and said, "You must guard the iron bull and don't let it be washed away by the flood." ”

The big iron ox is said by the god of Zhenshui, there were ten of them at the beginning, and nine of them have been washed away by previous floods, and it is the only one left, and it can be regarded as a symbol on the Jingjiang embankment.

Fan Wuxian had never seen this iron bull before, so he walked over to take a look, touched it, and saw that the big iron bull stood up and squatted forward, his body tended forward, and he became a lion rising up, hissing with his head high, his eyes wide open, and he looked down on a fierce tiger, and seemed to be ready to jump up at any time, leap into the turbulent Yangtze River, and fight a decisive battle with the demon water monster in the flood, which has the potential of the Yangtze River.

While walking on the embankment, Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxi, "The protection scope of the Jingjiang embankment includes the north of the Jingjiang River, the south of the Han River, the east to Xintan Town, and the vast Jingbei Plain area to the west of the Fuzhang River, protecting more than 11 million mu of cultivated land, more than 10 million people, as well as a number of important towns such as Jingzhou and Jianghan Oilfield. Once the embankment bursts, not only will the Jingbei Plain become a state, but it will also threaten the safety of Wuhan City and nearby transportation arteries, and may disrupt the deployment of the entire national economy. ”

Wu Xi asked with some curiosity, "I have heard that the worst flood was the flood in the fifties, was it also serious?" ”

An official of the National Defense General next to Boss Zhu saw that Boss Zhu had a very close relationship with Fan Wuji, so he interjected, "It was 1954, and there were more than 2,400 dangerous situations on the Jingjiang embankment, including 125 slopes, 51 cracks, more than 300 muddy water loopholes, more than 1,400 clear water loopholes, 33 langkan holes, and 68 pipe gushing holes. Among them, there are more than 50 vicious and major dangers, and the Jingjiang River flood diversion area was used three times that year, accumulating more than 10 billion cubic meters of flood water and lowering the water level of Shashi by nearly one meter, so that the Jingjiang embankment could safely pass the flood season. ”

"This flood situation will not be much worse than that of the May Fourth Year, or it will be excessive!" Boss Zhu said very worriedly.

"Please rest assured, all of our military and civilians work together to ensure that the Jingjiang embankment is impregnable!" A person in charge on the Jingjiang embankment swore his confidence to Boss Zhu.

"I hope so." Boss Zhu nodded and said.

Fan Wuxi stood on the embankment and looked around, and found that there were slogans everywhere, such as strict defense, people are on the embankment, decisive battle on the Yangtze River, and vow to live and die with the embankment, which looked very atmospheric.

In some of these dangerous places, there is also a letter of responsibility that has been erected, who is in charge of the letter, and there are things like a letter of determination, and basically every section of the embankment has a special person responsible for it.

After looking at it for a while, Boss Zhu asked, "I heard that you have a lot of flood control materials there, can you use them first?" At present, the waterlogging near Jingzhou is also relatively serious, and a large amount of flood control material support is urgently needed. ”

Fan Wuxian nodded and agreed, "I am preparing for flood control, so naturally there is no problem, but these things are now considered to support Jiangnan Province, if you want to use it, you have to count this account on my father's head." ”

Boss Zhu understood what Fan Wuxian meant, nodded and said, "Well, even if it is borrowed from Jiangnan Province." ”

In fact, after this incident, a consensus has been formed within the high-level that Fan Heng and his son have made great contributions to this year's flood control work, and the safety of the Jiangnan embankment directly affects the safety of tens of millions of people's lives and property.

In view of this, some veteran comrades and members of the Standing Committee all believe that Comrade Fan Heng has a strong sense of the overall situation, has made great contributions, and is fully capable of making further progress, but in view of the grim situation in China at present, it is not appropriate to make any important adjustments, and everything will be discussed after the completion of this year's flood prevention work.

Therefore, although Boss Zhu knew that Fan Wuxian was making political achievements for his father, he did not say anything disapprove, the most important thing now is to protect the tens of millions of fathers and villagers along the Yangtze River embankment, as for the rest, it is a trivial matter.

Fan Wuxian took a look at the environment of the Jingjiang embankment, and then took the initiative to say, "Recently, I have engaged in some large-scale engineering equipment, which is also useful for guarding the embankment, but how to use these people, it is best to have the central government deploy." ”

"That's the equipment you won by betting with someone, right?" Boss Zhu immediately smiled when he heard this.

Fan Wuxian smiled and said, "Hehe, people want to bet with me, and I don't have any way, the money sent to the door can't be pushed out, right?" However, the experience in Jiangnan Province shows that large-scale mechanized operations are much more efficient than manual operations. ”

"Thank you so much." Boss Zhu nodded.

Fan Wuxi felt that Boss Zhu's mood was not very high, and when he looked at the river with his gaze, he found that the water level of the Yangtze River had been rising, and the precipitation in the sky had not stopped, which was not only depressing, but also made everyone feel that the continuous rise in the water level was an irrefutable fact.

"It's likely to be rainy for a month." Boss Zhu said worriedly.

"There is no way to do it, as the so-called soldiers come to block, the water comes to cover the soil, and this time the whole country will fight the flood together." Fan Wuxi looked at the water surface and said helplessly.

There are no pop-ups
