Hongyuan Province, Hongyuan Iron and Steel Company.

Hearing that Qin Hai, chairman of Daqin Group, was going to visit in person, Pang Yongfu, general manager of Hongyuan Iron and Steel Company, waited in front of the office building with more than a dozen company leaders early. The skin of a person, the shadow of a tree, in the same industry, Pang Yongfu certainly knows what kind of status Qin Hai is. If the person in charge of another company came, Pang Yongfu would just arrange for an office director to go downstairs to pick him up, but when Qin Haihai came to the door, Pang Yongfu would greet him in person anyway.

A black Mercedes-Benz 600 sedan drove in lightly from outside the company gate and drove straight to the office building. As soon as the car stopped, Pang Yongfu's secretary Hu Xiaoshuo hurriedly stepped forward, opened the door for Qin Hai, who was sitting in the back row, and blocked the top frame of the door with his hand, so as not to bump his head when the VIP got out of the car. Qin Hai was also accustomed to this kind of etiquette, he stepped out of the car, handed Hu Xiaoshuo a grateful look, and then stretched out his hands and walked over with a smile to Pang Yongfu, who was standing two meters away.

"Mr. Pang came to greet him in person, Xiao Qin, I am really honored." Qin Hai said politely while shaking hands with Pang Yongfu.

Qin Hai came to Hongyuan Iron and Steel Company for the first time, but he and Pang Yongfu were no strangers, the two had met in several meetings, and they had toasted each other during the meeting, so they were acquaintances. Pang Yongfu is 20 years older than Qin Hai, and Qin Hai has always called himself Xiao Qin in front of him.

"Mr. Qin's presence is an honor for our 15,000 employees of Honggang." Pang Yongfu kidnapped 15,000 people alone, which made Qin Hai feel a lot of pressure.

After the two sides finished greetings, Pang Yongfu introduced to Qin Hai the deputy general manager, personnel minister, sales minister and other management personnel around him, which is almost the entire leadership team of Honggang. Judging from the reception camp, Pang Yongfu does have a lot of respect for Qin Hai, and usually even the mayor can't enjoy such treatment when he comes to inspect.

Qin Hai also introduced his entourage to Pang Yongfu. Compared with. The entourage on his side is relatively simple, with only two people, Heizi and Yu Yong. The former is good at dealing with people of all religions and nine streams, and obtaining some information that is difficult to obtain through other channels, while the latter is a new marketing star of the group, specializing in the implementation of various cooperation intentions reached between Qin Hai and the other party's leaders. Of course, there is another important reason why Qin Hai went out with sunspots. It's that sunspots can cope with all kinds of banquets, and nine times out of ten they have to go through the "alcohol test" when doing things in China.

The personnel of the two sides shook hands and greeted each other in various permutations and combinations, and Pang Yongfu invited Qin Hai into the office building and came to the company's conference room. The huge conference table was already filled with all kinds of fruits and snacks, and as soon as Qin Hai and the others sat down, a beautiful waiter stepped forward to pour them tea, and everything seemed so grand.

"Let me introduce you to Mr. Qin."

After the guest and host sat down on both sides, Pang Yongfu opened his mouth first.

"Mr. Pang. About Mr. Qin, you don't need to introduce it to us, how can there be anyone in China who doesn't know Mr. Qin? Xiang Pengda, the sales minister, said with a grin, he didn't mean not to give Pang Yongfu face, but to compliment Qin Hai in a different way, in fact, it was also to Pang Yongfu's help.

Pang Yongfu glared at Pengda falsely and said, "Old Xiang, you said that all Chinese know President Qin. Then tell everyone who Mr. Qin is. ”

"Qin is always the chairman of Anhe Daqin Industrial Group. A model private entrepreneur who has been received and commended by the chief many times, the steel company under Daqin Group produced 50 million tons of steel last year, which is twice as much as our red steel...... "Xiang Pengda is like a few treasures, and he really said that Qin Hai's background is not far from ten.

Pang Yongfu shook his head proudly and said, "Lao Xiang, what you said. It's all things that can be seen in the newspapers, and in your words, that's what everyone knows. What I'm going to tell you is something that you don't know. ”

"Haha, Mr. Pang is planning to make up my jokes." Qin Hai said with a smile.

Pang Yongfu looked at his subordinates. asked: "Do you know what is the relationship between Mr. Qin and our red steel?" ”

"I really don't know." Xiang Pengda responded, "In my impression, Mr. Qin doesn't seem to have come to our Red Steel, right?" But Mr. Song of Daqin has been here many times. ”

Pang Yongfu said: "Lao Xiang is right, Mr. Qin has indeed never come to our Red Steel, but he is a great hero of our Red Steel...... Well, saying the word hero, it seems to be a little disrespectful to Mr. Qin. However, this is not what I said, but the old director of our red steel, and later the old director of our provincial metallurgical department, Jiang Lao, do you know what the reason is? ”

Hearing Pang Yongfu talk about Jiang Lao, Qin Hai couldn't help laughing. This Jiang Lao, named Jiang Huanwen, was the director of Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant more than ten years ago. Qin Hai went abroad for the first time in this life, when he rubbed into the delegation of Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant to Spain to purchase metallurgical electric furnaces. On that occasion, Qin Hai used his knowledge to help Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant negotiate with metallurgical equipment manufacturer Oso to buy two electric furnaces for a total of $16 million, up from a whopping $22 million for just one furnace

Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant originally only needed to buy one electric furnace, and the extra electric furnace was lent to Qin Hai's fledgling Nord Stream No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant in the form of lease, becoming one of Qin Hai's starting capitals.

Jiang Huanwen, the director of Honggang Steel, who presided over the purchase of electric furnaces, was commended for saving a lot of foreign exchange for the country in the process of purchasing electric furnaces, which also became an important capital for him to be promoted to the director of the Hongyuan Provincial Metallurgical Department. Pang Yongfu, Xiang Pengda and others were all transferred to Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant later, and they did not personally experience this incident. But Pang Yongfu had heard this story from Jiang Huanwen, and he took it out at this time to show off, one was to enliven the atmosphere, and the other was to further close the relationship with Qin Hai.

When Qin Hai recalled this past, Pang Yongfu had already told everyone about the events of the year like a storyteller. Because it was relayed from Jiang Huanwen, the situation that Pang Yongfu said was somewhat different from that year, which exaggerated Qin Hai's great wisdom and courage by at least five times, making people feel that Qin Hai was not a person, but a demon. Of course, everyone will not raise any objections, they only need to pretend to be shocked, which is also the result that Pang Yongfu wants to see.

"What Mr. Pang said is exaggerated, in fact, this is all led by Director Jiang, I remember that there were also Section Chief Yao Guojie and Section Chief Zhu Shouhe who participated in the negotiations, and they were the main force in the negotiations." Qin Hai said modestly.

Pang Yongfu said: "Lao Yao retired last year, and before he retired, he was the deputy general manager of our company; Lao Zhu was later transferred to the Metallurgical Department and is now the vice president of the Metallurgical Design Institute. If Mr. Qin can stay in Hongyuan for a few more days, I can ask them out and let you old friends sit together. ”

"I'm afraid it's too late this time, next time I will definitely take the time to come over to visit Director Jiang, Section Chief Yao, and Section Chief Zhu." Qin Hai said perfunctorily, he has been in business for nearly 20 years, and there are so many friends in this kind of business, so it is naturally a little cordial to meet him, but it seems that he has not such a strong desire to arrange a special time to meet.

"I've been gossiping for a long time, I haven't asked yet, is there anything important for Mr. Qin to come to our red steel this time?" Pang Yongfu finally brought the conversation back to the point.

"It is indeed a very important and urgent matter, which needs to be discussed with Mr. Pang and you." Qin Hai put away the smile on his face and said seriously.

"Mr. Qin, please speak." Pang Yongfu said. The others also quickly took out their pens and paper and made a record. Qin Hai made a special trip to Honggang, obviously not for sightseeing, which was very clear from Pang Yongfu onwards, so everyone brought a notebook to participate in the talks, lest they miss something important.

"The central government has just set up a leading group for the coordination of iron ore imports, presumably Mr. Pang has also received the communication document, right?" Qin Hai asked.

"I have received it, and the central leader is the team leader, which is not low. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Qin should be the deputy leader of the working group. Pang Yongfu said, "Could it be that Mr. Qin came to Honggang this time just for this matter?" ”

Pang Yongfu is knowingly asking, the establishment of the iron ore working group is a big deal for all steel companies, Pang Yongfu, as the CEO of the company, how can he not pay attention? The leader of the working group is a central leading comrade, and the deputy leader is actually Qin Hai, which is enough to shock and jealous the heads of various steel enterprises. After all, Daqin Group has a steel production capacity of 50 million tons, and Qin Hai is also a figure who has been repeatedly praised by the chief, so it is reasonable to let such a person lead the iron ore import negotiations.

Hearing that Qin Hai was coming to Honggang, Pang Yongfu made a few speculations and guessed the purpose of Qin Hai's trip. One of the first purposes, which is firmly believed by all the company's leaders, is related to iron ore negotiations. Everyone agreed that Qin Hai must have come to coordinate with Honggang, and it was difficult to explain his motives otherwise.

Although he was able to guess the truth, Pang Yongfu still had to pretend to be confused and let Qin Hai tell the reason himself. The purpose of this is to send a message to Qin Hai that Honggang neither understands nor attaches importance to the matter of iron ore negotiations, and if the iron ore team wants Honggang to do some cooperation, then take advantage in exchange.

Don't look at what Pang Yongfu said for a long time, how deep the relationship between Qin Hai and Honggang is, when it comes to the issue of interests, Pang Yongfu will never let go. In his opinion, the coordination group has a strong background, and since he has asked for himself, it is really a waste of opportunity for him not to get any benefits from the coordination group.
