Chapter 745 . Cousin's steel mill
(Three more!) Keep asking for tickets! The battle between the protagonist and Yang Mu started soon, so don't worry! Tomorrow the Lantern Festival will have a day off, and there will be fewer updates. )
Lunch is arranged at a restaurant with the style of a coastal province. The coastal provinces are nothing in terms of population and economy, and there are very few people who go to all parts of the country to enjoy the great rivers and mountains, and they want to work and do small businesses, and generally go abroad, or they are several economically developed areas in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, and Shicheng has never been the main scope of activities of residents in the coastal provinces. It's amazing that there is a restaurant in a coastal province here, and I don't know how Li Yiling found it.
"How's this fish meatball?" Li Yiling asked, "Is it authentic?" ”
"It's pretty authentic." Huang Wenbin said, "The fish is still fresh. "In fact, there is a gap between the coastal provinces themselves, but Huang Wenbin has been out for a long time, and suddenly he tasted the flavor of his hometown, and he couldn't help but relax the standards. There are many authentic coastal provincial pavilions in Beijing, especially the Coastal Provincial Office in Beijing, which is more authentic than most of the provincial pavilions. But Huang Wenbin didn't dare to walk around in the capital, and he didn't dare to patronize the same restaurant too many times, all of which were to let the chef he brought to cook, although the chef's skills were good, but he was limited to raw materials, and he had to test for drugs after cooking, and the taste would inevitably be much worse.
"Now that the transportation is developed, we can also eat seafood." Li Yiling said.
"Yes, the transportation is developed." Huang Wenbin said, so people and property can be transferred on a large scale, and Yang Mu can get money in the capital, and he can smash it in Shicheng if he changes hands. Huang Wenbin is developed in the coastal provinces, and he can also come here to eat haze. In the past, Huang Wenbin, a local nouveau riche, was limited to his hometown, and unless he encountered a special opportunity, he would never have the opportunity to enter the country. Now we are able to buy land and build buildings in big cities across the country to make a fortune, and this is also due to the development of modern society.
After lunch, Huang Wenbin and Li Yiling went to her cousin's steel mill. All along the way, there are all kinds of large vehicles, some loaded with coal, some loaded with iron ore, and some loaded with steel plates, steel pipes, steel ingots and other finished products, all of which emitted a low roar, and the sky was bright, but the sun shone on the haze, and it only showed a miserable white. Entering the industrial area, the environment is even harsher, and the thick chimneys exhaust gases, some white and some black. From time to time, there was a hint of an unusual smell, and I don't know what it was.
"Over there." Li Yiling said to the driver.
"Close the window." Huang Wenbin coughed a few times, "The air is too bad." ”
"It hasn't snowed in a few days, so it will be better." Li Yiling said, "I'm used to it, and there is a blast furnace in the factory, and the temperature is higher." ”
"It's too polluting." Huang Wenbin looked at a chimney lined with white smoke on the side of the road and said.
"You see it's not big," Li Yiling said, "the white is water vapor, and the black is the big pollution." ”
Huang Wenbin made a joke, but fortunately he was thick-skinned and didn't blush, so he just smiled. After driving for more than ten minutes, I finally arrived at Li Yiling's cousin's steelmaking plant, which is quite large, and there is a green belt in the factory area, but it is not worthy of the name, the grass is withered and yellow, and most of the trees are dead, and there are only a few trees left to survive. There was a thick layer of ash around the factory, and large trucks roared and ran around the factory, crushing the cement pavement over and over again. Several chimneys in the workshop are tall and large, and the exhaust columns are the thickest and longest in the area, and they are obviously in full production.
"This is the factory, the warehouse is over there, and the office is here." Li Yiling's introduction was very simple, "Hey, cousin! ”
A bald man with a gray face ran over, but he was in a suit and leather shoes, "Xiaoling, you're here." ”
"Brother Huang, this is my cousin, called Rongwen." Li Yiling said.
"Cousin......" Huang Wenbin was almost taken to the ditch to call his cousin, and it was easy to swallow the word, "Boss Rong is good." ”
"This is Boss Huang, right, I have admired the name for a long time. Yang Mu is such a powerful big boss, I have heard his name in Shicheng, which people like us can't touch in a lifetime. But Boss Huang was up to him, always standing on the upper hand, and finally forced Yang Mu to lose money, I heard that he lost more than 3 billion, right, it's amazing, I don't know if I can earn half of this number in my life. Rong Wen said enthusiastically, "Go to the office and sit." ”
The office is very luxuriously decorated, and there are a lot of pennants hanging on it, the largest of which is the "Shicheng 2007 Environmental Protection Model Enterprise", and the issuing unit is the Shicheng Environmental Protection Bureau. Rong Wen saw that Huang Wenbin paid attention to the pennant, laughed and said: "It's not blowing, our factory is a big profit and tax in the district, and any policy has to be tilted towards us, don't look at my factory without any environmental protection equipment, the environmental protection pacesetter still has to give it to me." This flag was not given for nothing, and it earned a million tax refunds. ”
"Didn't there be a lot of dust before, and the dust was too much to worry about the use of waste heat or something." Li Yiling said, "At that time, I also received financial subsidies for installing these equipment. ”
"The operating cost of those equipment is too high, who will turn it on if it is fine." Rong Wen said, "Later, a friend of mine wanted to open a steel mill for acceptance, so I sold him the equipment." Knowing that we will not use it, the construction of a new plant must be accepted, and the acceptance must adopt new technologies to reduce pollution. We were so troubled that we dismantled the useless equipment. ”
"It's always good to be eco-friendly." Huang Wenbin couldn't help but say, "It's not okay to be so polluted." ”
"That's no way, hundreds of thousands of people here have to rely on steelmaking to eat." Rong Wen said, "If you want to talk about environmental protection, you have to have big steel plants, those big factories with an annual output of millions of tons or tens of millions of tons, and they have all kinds of equipment." I've been to the steel mills in Europe, and that's amazing, the factory is spotless, it looks like a park, but the cost is high. With their steel, how much will the cost of building a building go up? Besides, a large steel mill has an output equivalent to dozens or hundreds of small steel mills, but the labor force is only several times more, what should other people do? Are they all laid off? We can make money if we can, environmental protection or something, we can only look forward to the next generation. When a big scientist invents a device that is environmentally friendly and saves money, then it will not be too late for us to install it. ”
"Don't talk about such a distant thing, Brother Huang, let's go to the blast furnace and have a look." Li Yiling said.
Huang Wenbin was very uncomfortable being called by this brother, seeing Rong Wen's expression as if nothing happened, could it be that Li Yiling saw anyone who was so affectionate. Huang Wenbin took a large group of subordinates and followed Rong Wen and Li Yiling to the factory, and suddenly felt that the heat was rushing, the outside was freezing to death, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside was at least dozens of degrees. Rong Wen took Huang Wenbin to the dispatch room, walked to a large piece of glass, pointed to a huge stove and explained to Huang Wenbin, "This is the blast furnace. ”
"Really...... Very high. Huang Wenbin couldn't see why.
Rong Wen was amused and laughed, and said, "Why don't you call it a blast furnace?" ”
"Modern blast furnaces are complex." Li Yiling explained to Huang Wenbin, "It's basically feeding on the top of the furnace and blowing the wind at the bottom of the furnace, isn't that so, cousin?" ”
"That's pretty much it, it's hard to explain in detail what you haven't learned." Rong Wen said, "feeding is to put all kinds of ingredients, iron, coke or something, the most important thing is the ratio, of course, the modern blast furnace is automatic proportioning, our ratio system is particularly good, it is the imported goods eliminated by the large steel mill, much better than other small factories, and the steel performance is much higher." At this time, the alarm suddenly sounded outside, and Rong Wen said, "There is just a pot of molten steel coming out of the oven, Boss Huang can take a look." ”
The red molten steel slanted out, and Huang Wenbin's heart was surging, and countless workers tacitly cooperated, with a different sense of beauty. In the past, steel output represented a country's industrial capacity, and when the steel output was large, the industry was developed, and the power was great, and it could bully others. If the steel output is small, the industry will not be developed, and the strength will be small, so you can only wait for others to bully. That's why the leaders at that time proposed that steel production surpass Britain and catch up with the United States. But now it is really surpassing Britain to catch up with the United States, steel production is the first, accounting for half of the world, and the industrial level is still a long way from the world's advanced. Visible light is not large in scale, it also has to be technologically advanced.
"The molten steel comes out to form a steel ingot, and then it can be processed to get a steel plate or something. The steel mill can be hard, the blast furnace can not be stopped, the active shutdown procedures are very troublesome, the loss is very large, if the unexpected shutdown, the molten steel solidified blast furnace will be scrapped. Therefore, it must be produced day and night, three days and sixty-five days a year. A while ago, we had a sports meeting, so we stopped for a month, and the loss was really too great, and now we have to step up production and make up for the loss. Rong Wen had seen a lot, and he didn't think this scene was strange at all, so he wiped his sweat and asked, "Is Boss Huang interested in doing steel business?" ”
"Huh?" Huang Wenbin was watching the molten steel come out of the oven in a daze, and it took a while to react, "No, I want to cooperate with Boss Li." "Huang Wenbin wants to cooperate with Li Weimin to pit poplar wood, this is a secret, and it can only be said that the two sides cooperate in business, as for what to cooperate with, of course, there is also a set of rhetoric, but it is okay to lie to others, this Rong Wen is a steel mill, saying that it is too detailed may see flaws, or it is safer to tear the topic away, "Are all the steel you have here sold to Boss Li?" ”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Rong Wen's face, "Some are sold to Boss Li, but Boss Li has a big business and many sources of steel, and sometimes the price given is not very good, not as good as others." Doing business, of course, whoever gives the highest price will sell it to whom, Boss Huang, don't you say? If Boss Li is willing to sign a long-term contract, I will admit it if the price is lower. But Boss Li refused, what can be done. ”
"Yes, the one with the highest market economy will get it." Huang Wenbin said.
"The market is so volatile now that no one dares to sign a long-term contract." Li Yiling said, "Especially the policy is risky, cousin, you also said that a while ago there was a sports meeting, many factories were closed around the capital, if you sign a long-term contract, you can't deliver the goods, then the loss will be even greater." My father won't trouble you, but if you want to fill this hole, you have to worry him to death. ”
Speaking of policy risks, Huang Wenbin seems to have a flash of inspiration in his mind. Yes, there are policy risks, and this is what I am most afraid of in the steel business! There are a lot of policy risks during this period of time, if Yang Mu gets the news in advance and uses this news layout, of course, he can make a lot of money and use 50 billion funds, which is understandable. How can Huang Wenbin take advantage of this situation? How to minimize the risk to make a lot of money, and at the same time completely pit the poplar?
