Qin Hai is a businessman, businessmen generally do not go to extremes, and businessmen who do not leave others a way to live are difficult to become big themselves. In the matter of managing small steel, he considered from the beginning how to transform these illegal operations into legal operations. This kind of thinking played a great role in his management of the rare earth chaos in the south, not only solving the problem, but also winning many allies for himself. Xin Jinlong was able to listen to Qin Hai's dispatch now, not because he was afraid of Qin Hai's power, but because Qin Hai opened up a better path for him than before, allowing him to earn more money than in the past under the premise of legality. In fact, most people are willing to be law-abiding and good citizens, so they can make money in a down-to-earth manner, and they don't have to worry about it, so why not?

If Qin Hai can help them move from illegal to legal, then the difficulty of solving small steel problems will be greatly reduced, and these people can also play their due role in the future pattern of China's steel industry.

Starting from this principle, Qin Hai had already thought of a whole set of plans on the way back from Xingchuan, and now was the time to report to Cui Hongchun in order to gain support.

"Director Cui, my consideration is this...... Qin Hai said, "At present, China's economy has entered the fast lane, the real estate economy is developing very rapidly, and the country's various infrastructure construction is also heating up." In this case, China's steel demand will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend in the next 10 to 20 years, and by 2012, the country's steel demand is expected to exceed 500 million tons.

With such a large demand for steel, more steel companies are needed to meet it. The small steels we see today can play an important role in the future if they can be regulated and allowed to improve their technology and scale. The harm of small steel is nothing more than two aspects. First, the scale is small and the technical level is poor. Resulting in serious exceedances of energy consumption and pollution; Second, due to the lack of supervision, the quality of products is poor, causing serious social harm.

If we can help these small steel companies to scale up through joint efforts, and then support them in terms of policies to improve their technology, and at the same time strengthen quality control, all these problems can be solved. In the case of being able to produce qualified steel and make money above board. Who would want to engage in strip steel to make black money? At the same time, if there are enough small and medium-sized iron and steel enterprises to make up for the shortage of supply in the steel market, then there will be no soil for the survival of strip steel, and it will naturally disappear. ”

"Yes, that's a good idea." Cui Hongchun approvingly, "Change the practice of blindly suppressing, shift from confrontation to cooperation, and turn enemies into friends." This is indeed a good solution to the problem. ”

Qin Hai Zhengse said: "These small business owners are not our enemies in the first place. To be honest, the people who can do the strip steel business under the high pressure of the government are people who have brains and dare to take risks, in the words of Song Hongxuan, general manager of our group, this is a group of people with entrepreneurial spirit. In order to develop a comprehensive market economy, China needs countless entrepreneurs. We don't have too many entrepreneurs now, but too few. It is a waste of talent to let such a group of people with entrepreneurial potential remain in illegal business all the time. ”

Cui Hongchun smiled: "The more you talk, the more suspenseful it becomes." Everyone knows that it is a group of illegal profiteers who engage in strip steel. In your mouth, it turns into what an entrepreneurial spirit. Well, you can tell me, how do we save these entrepreneurs? ”

Qin Haidao: "First of all, we must change our concepts. Many small steel mills have a desire to improve their technology, and they have the difficulty of not being able to hire experts. I can't afford to hire an expert. Can we adopt the method of sending technology into the factory, and the economic and trade commission and various provinces and cities will take the lead in organizing experts and technicians from universities, research institutes, and large iron and steel enterprises to go to these small steel plants and provide them with free technical guidance. Help them get rid of inefficient production methods. ”

"You mean free?" Cui Hongchun's eyes widened, "What is this, do they still have credit for engaging in illegal operations, why should they provide them with services for free?" ”

Qin Haidao: "Director Cui, you won't think like this if you calculate this account." How much manpower and material resources did we spend to deal with these small steel mills? How much damage has been caused by the inferior products of these small steel mills flowing into the construction industry? If we spend these costs on hiring experts to help them improve their technology, how much more can we recover from unnecessary losses? ”

"This is a fallacy......," Cui Hongchun shook his head, "You go on, I'll hear what your other thoughts are." ”

"Second...... Qin Hai continued, "the state will pay for the substandard equipment currently used in these small steel plants, and at the same time, the state will take out a sum of money and issue low-interest loans to them to help them purchase qualified equipment and meet the technical requirements stipulated by the state." ”

Cui Hongchun grinned and said, "Xiao Qin, you are really rich. How much is it enough to redeem the substandard equipment of these small steel factories and provide low-interest loans? Do you really think that the state finance is a cash cow? ”

Qin Haidao: "We have roughly calculated that if we are engaged in short-process steelmaking, transform the backward production process, and form an annual production capacity of about 500,000 tons, it will take about 50 million to 80 million yuan. Due to the high production efficiency and good product quality, the price of steel can be 200 to 300 yuan per ton higher than that of the current production of strip steel. Calculated in this way, after deducting other costs, after the equipment is put into production, it will be able to recover all the investment in more than a year, and someone must be willing to do such a thing.

Now some companies are reluctant to update their equipment, one is because the original old equipment is bought with money and scrapped out of thin air, which is not in line with their frugal psychology. The second is that because it is difficult to raise enough funds to update the equipment, so knowing that you can make more money after replacing the equipment, you can only sigh. If the state can solve these two difficulties of theirs, most of them will be willing to accept transformation. ”

"But how much money does the state need to come up with?" Cui Hongchun asked.

"In the short term, we need to come up with about 10 billion to 20 billion funds, most of which are loans, which can be recovered, and are only temporarily lent to these enterprises. Because of the existence of these small steels, the country has suffered far more than 10 billion environmental losses. Qin Hai said.

From the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the new century, with the rapid economic growth of China, high-energy-consuming industries such as steel and cement flourished, and a huge negative loss was the decline in air quality. The smog that made later people talk about the tiger's color change mainly originated during this period. In later generations, the state spent hundreds of billions of yuan to try to control smog pollution, but it was difficult. If we can spend much less than this more than ten years ago to subsidize the technical transformation of small steel and cement, we will be able to save ten or a hundred times the cost of treatment in the future.

Cui Hongchun's hesitation comes from the limitations of his times. On the one hand, no one could have imagined that China's economy would develop so much, and at that time it was thought that 10 billion or 20 billion was an astronomical amount, and only 10 years later, hundreds of billions of governance costs are no longer a problem. On the other hand, people at that time were much more tolerant of pollution than later generations, when the country was poor, fresh air was just a luxury, and only when the country was rich did people realize that a good environment was actually necessary for life.

Listening to Qin Hai's words, Cui Hongchun fell into deep thought, he was weighing the pros and cons of various plans. I have to say that Qin Hai's idea is very novel, which gives a glimmer of hope to the predicamented action of controlling small steel. However, mobilizing tens of billions of funds to transform small steel is not something that Cui Hongchun can decide alone, I am afraid that it takes the central level to make such a big determination.

"If Director Cui has doubts, we can do a pilot first. As for the funds, our group can bear them. The Economic and Trade Commission only needs to give us an authorization, what do you think? Qin Hai grinned and threw out his latter plan.

"No problem." Cui Hongchun didn't even think about it this time, and answered directly. He knew that Qin Hai had a lot of money in his hands, and there was no problem in supporting a pilot. As for authorization, he was completely able to trust Qin Hai's character and knew that Qin Hai would not make any unreasonable demands.

"You are the deputy head of the working group personally designated by the chief, and you can authorize yourself yourself, do you still need the Economic and Trade Commission to do anything?" Cui Hongchun said.

"I'm just the deputy leader of the small steel action team, which involves personnel adjustments, police allocation, and troop transfers...... Qin Hai snapped his fingers and began to calculate for Cui Hongchun.

"Wait!" Cui Hongchun stretched out his hand to stop Qin Hai, "What are you going to do, why is there still a matter of troop transfer?" ”

Qin Hai pointed at Xin Jinlong and said, "Old Xin, you can explain this problem to Director Cui." ”

Xin Jinlong's face was embarrassed, but Qin Hai called him by name, and he didn't dare not agree, so he could only say to Cui Hongchun: "Director Cui, I myself used to be engaged in small mines, and I was no different from those bosses who engaged in small steel. We people, to put it mildly, we don't cry when we don't see the coffin, and if we don't have a little tough means, we won't be obedient. So, this time, I suggested to Mr. Qin that these little bosses should be hard first, subdue them, and then give them sweet dates to eat, and then they will have to eat if they don't eat them. ”

"This kind of thing...... It's up to you, Xiao Qin, to do it. Cui Hongchun shook his head helplessly, "It seems that the chief is right to ask you to do this." Well, I'll coordinate the rest of the stuff. If you want to transfer the army, you have more ways than me, Ji Lao simply treats you as if you are his own grandson, you just need to find him.
