Hong Yang was not surprised by the three major bases proposed by Guo Shucheng, he had seen and heard a lot of slogan-like words. As for building the southern part of Qionghai Island into a tourist resort, Hong Yang was not surprised at all, because he had already heard a report that Guo Zhuocheng had publicly announced at a meeting of leading cadres of the National Public Office that he would build the entire Qionghai Island into a paradise on earth.

Compared with that rhetoric, what he said now is that "building the southern part of Qionghai Island into a tourist resort mecca" is insignificant.

Hong Yang was a government official in this era, and his sensitivity to ships and chemical industry was not strong, and he liked steel the most like other senior officials. How many tons of steel can be produced in a year? ”

Guo Zhuocheng handed a document to Hong Yang and said: "We plan to achieve an annual output of 30 million tons of steel!" ”

Hong Yang almost jumped up from the sofa and asked in surprise, "Three million tons?" Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

This is not because Hong Yang is unstable, but because Guo Zhuocheng said this figure is too surprising to him, he knows that in 976, the country's steel output added up to only 20.4 million tons, which was reached by the efforts of hundreds of iron and steel enterprises across the country. But now Guo Zhuocheng put forward the figure of 30 million tons at once, can he not be surprised?

You must know that there is no iron ore on Qionghai Island, and the original iron-rich iron ore has already been mined. Once the steel base is built, its raw materials will either be shipped from the mainland or imported from abroad. How is it possible for a base that is completely dependent on external raw materials to meet its production needs reach such a large number? 30 million tons is to use 10,000 tons of giant ships to transport iron ore, and it will take more than 1,000 trips. Not to mention the coal that is still being brought in, is there so much shipping by ship?

Guo Zhuocheng knew the reason why Hong Yang was so out of shape. But he knew he wasn't bragging, because he was absolutely sure. In the previous life, iron and steel companies with a production scale of more than 10 million tons abounded: such as Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Company formed an annual production capacity of 6 million tons of steel in 200, Benxi Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. in 202 its production scale reached 4.6 million tons of steel, and Wuhan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. reached 400,000 tons of steel output in 2005......

In 202, China's steel production was as high as 7.6 billion tons, accounting for 46% of global steel production! And China's iron ore imports are as high as 7.4 billion tons! China's dependence on foreign iron ore is more than 56%!

These figures illustrate two aspects: First, there is still huge room for China's steel production to increase. Guo Zhuocheng proposed that Qionghai Island produces 30 million tons of steel, which is not too much. Second, the large increase in China's steel production in the previous life was based on the large import of foreign iron ore, and more than half of the 7.6 billion tons of steel production was smelted from imported iron ore. Guo Zhuocheng now positions the steel output of the Qionghai Island steel smelting base at 30 million tons, although almost all of the raw materials rely on imports. However, the total amount of its imports is far less than the import volume of the previous life, and the iron ore outside can fully support it.

Moreover, Guo Zhuocheng still has a very good card in his hand in this life, that is, as long as the IIC company completes the equity acquisition of several large minerals such as Australia and Brazil, there will be no problem with the iron ore raw materials needed by the steel base, and the price will not be suppressed by foreign raw material suppliers.

At present, Guo Zhuocheng's only concern is whether he can attract the world's large steel companies to invest, and whether he can introduce advanced technology from the United States, Germany, France and other major steel countries.

But he believes that in the current international environment, with the efforts of IIC, Network Game Group, Phoenix Machinery and other companies. With the help of the state, it will not be difficult for the steel base to achieve its goals.

After Hong Yang sat down again, Guo Zhuocheng said to him with a smile: "Secretary Hong, this is what I decided after careful consideration, it can be said that the figure of 30 million tons is not difficult to achieve, and there is not much water. For large-scale foreign smelting enterprises, to achieve 30 million tons, that is, the output of two or three enterprises. It's not that scary. As long as our Biquge www.biquge.info high and large-scale, five or six new enterprises can reach this output, and at most it will be the first steelmaking enterprise. ”

Hong Yang said with a smile: "At most, it's just a ** steelmaking enterprise, what you said is so easy." But I ask you, where to find such a large-scale steel enterprise? How could they come? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit. As long as we can provide enough benefits, they have to come. ”

Hong Yang asked, "Then what benefits can you provide them?" People are not stupid. It's impossible to lure them in just by paying lip service to a little good. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "In fact, there are a lot of benefits that we can improve, and there are a few of them that are easy for them to take the bait: First, it is political. China is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and can be regarded as a major power in the world. It is precisely because our country has such a high political status that many countries have asked for us, even the United States, Britain and other big-name capitalist developed countries, and they have also asked for us for one reason or another. If we ask them for help in building steel companies, I think many countries will respond positively. As long as it doesn't involve cutting-edge technology, Western governments won't discourage their companies from investing in China too much, and there will be no political obstacles at all.

Second, China's current technological development is very fast, especially in the fields of missiles and computers, and Western countries need to carry out economic exchanges with us, think of economic exchanges to achieve high-tech exchanges, or think of exchanges to buy our advanced missiles and advanced computers. In addition, there is a large trade deficit in the export of missiles, arms (arms), computers, and electronic equipment to them, and they will not watch these profits flow into China like a stream, and they must do something to try to find a way to let some of the profits flow back to China, and investing in and building factories in China is undoubtedly a good way to make profits, and the most effective and long-term way to make money.

Third, China is a developing country with a large population and a vast territory, and its market for accommodating commodities is naturally huge, especially with the economic development of our country, the capacity of foreign procurement will increase exponentially or tenfold. For them, the Chinese market is like the sea, with unlimited capacity. If they want to sell more products in this market and make more profits in this market, they must make arrangements in advance, and they must contact China in all aspects in advance, so that they can enter the Chinese market. If they don't help China now, China may not open up its market to them in the future. Only now when the spring breeze blows, there will be summer rain in the future, everyone understands this truth.

Fourth, China's human resource costs are low, and almost all good quality products are in short supply, and if they go to China to set up factories and enterprises, their profits will definitely be higher than in China. It is far better to sell the products in China after they are produced in China than to produce them in China and transport them through guò means of transportation, at least the transportation costs have dropped a lot, making their products more competitive. ”

At first glance, these reasons sound very reasonable, but on closer analysis, they are not entirely correct, and they are not specific to the steel industry at all. Hong Yang asked, "These four reasons you said are not just steel, right?" It seems that other industries can be used in any other industry, which is almost a panacea. ”

Guo Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes." Now there are such superior conditions, and these four reasons are a good medicine that can cure all diseases. Therefore, I proposed not only the construction of a steel smelting base, but also a ship base and a chemical base. Now we at Qionghai Island just want to run ahead of the rest of the country, and we are trying to be a frontrunner. I think that if we can really be a frontrunner, then the superiors can give us more support. As long as we can contact large foreign enterprises related to the base, and if the other party is interested, the relevant state departments will definitely help us, and the possibility of bringing them in will be greatly increased. Once we are slow to move and wait for all localities to start bringing in foreign enterprises and foreign capital, the relevant state departments may not only help us. ”

"That's why you're coming up with such a huge plan? Is it to be ahead of others, is it to make better use of the power of the relevant state departments? Seeing that Guo Zhuocheng was not ashamed at all, but nodded very seriously, Hong Yang was very depressed in his heart, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "These statements of yours are a bit specious, and they cannot be a reliable reason for introducing foreign capital and technology at all." I think if you really want to do it, you should make more use of your own connections, and take advantage of your good relations with many foreign businessmen and people.

......, because I don't know much about this, I can't immediately express to you whether I support or oppose it here, I still have the information you have provided, and I have to convene a meeting of the Standing Committee and relevant experts to discuss. Before the conclusion of the province comes out, I hope that you can handle the affairs of the office well, unite the old comrades, and discuss what is best to do, after all, they have rich experience in politics. By the way, what is the size of your planned ship base? Don't tell me that my shipbuilding capacity is millions of tons a year. ”

Guo Zhuocheng said with a smile: "It's really millions of tons." Strive for 5 million tons in five years. ”

In the previous life, Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd.'s shipbuilding base on Changxing Island had an annual shipbuilding capacity of 4.5 million tons, not including military ships, just civilian ships, a company can make such a point, what reason does Guo Zhuocheng have not to believe that his base reaches 5 million tons? You must know that the boss of shipbuilding in the previous life was South Korea, and Korean enterprises have stronger shipbuilding capabilities.
