Chapter 977 fell in love with you, Mr. Li

On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, Li Fuchun had already received a call from Mayor Zheng Jianfei, asking him to go to the chairman's office of the Galaxy Industrial Headquarters on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to have face-to-face exchanges and communication with Liu Shiqing.

After Li Fuchun received the call, he was very hesitant, he was an old steel for many years, let alone in China, even in the international steel industry, he also has a lot of influence.

Gongtian Iron and Steel Group was sold by Gongtian Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to Yinhe Industry, which caused a huge shock in the steel industry around the world, and even affected the price of the steel market before the holiday. A number of headhunting companies in China have contacted him, saying that they can introduce him to work in some large multinational enterprises at home and abroad, and the headhunting companies have also offered very favorable conditions to show the sincerity of the companies that entrust them to handle this matter.

Li Fuchun, as a high-level cadre of a state-owned enterprise, led the Wuling Iron and Steel Group out of the predicament, and the relevant departments also gave him a certain commendation, gave him bonuses, awarded various titles, and even gave him a part of the shares of Wuling Iron and Steel Group.

In addition, when Li Fuchun and Liu Shiqing first met, the two could be said to be equals, but now, Gongtian Iron and Steel Group was merged by Galaxy Industrial, and he lost the qualification to be equal to Liu Shiqing, he is not even the person in charge of the subsidiary of Galaxy Industrial, he can only be said to be the person in charge of the Galaxy Industrial Sun Company, this gap is huge, and it is also one of the psychological obstacles that Li Fuchun needs to overcome.

Li Fuchun's wife and children persuaded him not to meet Liu Shiqing, simply resigned, either went home to retire, or jumped to a state-owned enterprise, he Li Fuchun is not a descendant of Galaxy Industry, and the courtesy received by Liu Shiqing is definitely not as good as Ding Chongxiang and Wang Zewei, and what Galaxy Industry can give him will definitely not be too much, the salaries of the management of various subsidiaries of Galaxy Industry are linked to the performance of the subsidiaries, and the profitability of Wuling Iron and Steel Group in recent years is not very high. Once Li Fuchun becomes a person of Galaxy Industrial, it is very difficult to say whether he can keep the previous salary level.

Li Fuchun's son, who returned from studying in the United States, also analyzed with him that Yinhe Industrial's merger with Gongtian Iron and Steel Group must be plotting something, but no matter what the plot is, there will definitely be a big move, and major surgery will be performed on Yinhe Iron and Steel. For Gongtian Iron and Steel Group, this is not only a first-class event, but also an inevitable turmoil. Li Fuchun has worked in state-owned enterprises for so many years, and with some inherent imprints of the management of large state-owned enterprises, it is very likely that he will not be able to adapt to the upcoming large-scale and deep-seated violent shocks of the Gongtian Iron and Steel Group, and if he does not get it right, he will become the target of Liu Shiqing's murder.

Li Fuchun has been the chairman and general manager of Wuling Iron and Steel Group for more than 20 years, and he has long been exhausted from hard work, but because he has not been able to find a good replacement, coupled with the provincial and municipal governments, some people have always advised him not to leave office, and he has been forced to survive. After he learned the news of Yinhe Industrial's merger with Gongtian Iron and Steel Group, he had the intention of taking this opportunity to retire early.

Li Fuchun's wife and children's words, as well as some cases analyzed by headhunting companies, many assumptions made, and even some conditions put forward, all kinds of combinations made Li Fuchun very entangled. He is now a little undecided, whether to meet with Liu Shiqing.

However, Li Fuchun finally chose to go to meet with Liu Shiqing, after all, this meeting was personally arranged by Mayor Zheng Jianfei, and Zhang Guoji, executive vice governor and former mayor of Wuling City, also personally called several times to inquire about the matter. In addition, Li Fuchun also has a little idea, that is, he hopes that before he retires, he can help the employees of Wuling Iron and Steel Group to explore Liu Shiqing's tone, if he can get some better conditions for them, he can be regarded as giving an explanation to tens of thousands of employees of Wuling Iron and Steel Group, and he can be regarded as standing on the last shift before leaving.

With such a mentality, Li Fuchun appeared on time at the door of the Galaxy Industrial Headquarters Building on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The Galaxy Building is still a renovation of the International Trade Building, which was acquired a few years ago, and this building with only more than 20 floors is no longer comparable in height to the influence that Galaxy Industry now has.

There are constantly people within Yinhe Industry who want to build a super-tall building with a height of at least 100 floors or more, so as to be worthy of the current status of Yinhe Industry, Ding Chongxiang, Yuan Tiancheng and others are a little moved. The request report finally hit Liu Shiqing and was rejected by Liu Shiqing. The construction of ultra-tall buildings, from the perspective of environmental protection, maintenance, operation and other aspects, is not the best choice, Liu Shiqing does not think that Galaxy Industry has to use a hundred-story skyscraper to show its existence, the world's skyscrapers are gone, Galaxy Industry to build one more building, but also does not reflect anything good.

However, Galaxy Industry can use factories such as underwater cities and space bases to demonstrate its strength and status. After all, these projects are unique in the world, and it is impossible for anyone to copy them, and skyscrapers are different, as long as there is money, the world can find a bunch of construction companies to build.

Li Fuchun looked up at this Galaxy Building, and felt infinite emotion in his heart, all the steel used in the construction of this building was provided by Wuling Iron and Steel Group, at that time, he would never have imagined that the power represented by this building would become the owner of Wuling Iron and Steel Group. And he, more than half a month ago, didn't even think that Wuling Iron and Steel Group would become the object of acquisition by others. This qiē came too suddenly, too prepared in his heart.

Just when Li Fuchun was full of emotion, an elevator in the Galaxy Building stopped, this elevator is a special elevator for the chairman, which leads directly to the chairman's office, and can be used, except for Liu Shiqing, Guo Qianrong and Yang Nuoting, others are usually not allowed.

The door of the elevator opened, Liu Shiqing, Guo Qianrong, Ding Chongxiang, Wang Zewei, Yang Nuoting, Yuan Tiancheng, Kang Yongheng and others walked out of the elevator one after another. Welcome, welcome. ”

Ding Chongxiang and Wang Zewei arched their hands towards Li Fuchun, "Mr. Li, have a good New Year, I wish you a great fortune during the New Year." ”

Li Fuchun didn't expect Galaxy Industry to dispatch such a luxurious lineup, and almost all the core figures of Galaxy Industry came out to greet him together, which is a big face. He Li Fuchun has never enjoyed such a high salary in his life, you must know that it is rumored in private that if Liu Shiqing has an administrative level, he must at least be a vice national level, and he is a person who can be on an equal footing with the vice premier of the State Council, even if he is low, he has to move closer to the provincial and ministerial level, not to mention, Liu Shiqing is the richest man in the world, and he has a wide and profound influence all over the world, such a person greets him in person, it is exaggerated enough, and Liu Shiqing also put his fiancée, personal secretary, general manager, The general counsel and others brought it out together, and such a welcome lineup was simply extravagant and outrageous.

Li Fuchun returned the salute again and again, "Mr. Liu, I really can't afford to greet you in person." Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want to kill me Li Fuchun with Mr. Liu? ”

Liu Shiqing said with a smile: "Mr. Li is a well-known old-timer in the domestic business community, and he is also the main contributor to the thriving development of tens of thousands of employees of Wuling Iron and Steel Group for decades. Let's go, Mr. Li, let's go upstairs and talk. ”

Li Fuchun followed Liu Shiqing and others to take the elevator upstairs and entered the VIP room next to the chairman's office of the Galaxy Industrial Headquarters.

By Liu Shiqing's side, Guo Qianrong basically did not pour tea and serve water to people other than Liu Shiqing, even if there were distinguished guests, it was usually Yang Nuoting who did this, or in order to show the importance of the other party, Liu Shiqing personally served tea. But today, Guo Qianrong made an exception and personally poured tea, which is enough to show how much Liu Shiqing attaches importance to Li Fuchun.

Since meeting Zheng Jianfei a few years ago, Liu Shiqing has asked people to collect some basic information about Zheng Jianfei, Gongtian Iron and Steel Group, and Wuling Iron and Steel Group.

Twenty or thirty years ago, Wuling Iron and Steel Group was still a medium-sized state-owned iron and steel plant, although it guarded the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the local iron ore in Wuling City, but for various reasons, the business was not doing very well, losing money year after year, and the workers' wages were either in arrears for a long time, or they could only receive basic living expenses every month.

It was in this difficult period that Li Fuchun took office, he took the lead in rectifying the factory capacity and factory discipline, and then worked the operating costs of the enterprise, improved work efficiency, reduced energy consumption and other costs, and soon turned the enterprise into a profit, and then followed the country's reform and opening up, and the east wind of infrastructure construction in various places, so that Wuling Iron and Steel Group has laid out the fastest fast track of development since its establishment.

Looking through these materials about Li Fuchun, Liu Shiqing naturally came to a conclusion, that is, Li Fuchun is a very thoughtful, courageous, and capable manager, and is also deeply loved by employees. Just like Zheng Jianfei said, in order to make a smooth transition of Wuling Iron and Steel Group, Li Fuchun must preside over this matter. As long as Li Fuchun is here, then there will be no problems, if Li Fuchun is not there, there will definitely be a lot of troubles.

In addition, years ago, the general manager of Gongtian Iron and Steel Group, deputy general manager and senior management of their respective subsidiaries, there have been many resignations or transfer by using the relationship, the speed of their procedures can be called fast, and when the Galaxy Industry woke up, Gongtian Iron and Steel Group and its subsidiaries have appeared in a power vacuum, and even the normal operation of the enterprise is a little difficult. In this context, leaving Li Fuchun is even more realistic.

The reason why Liu Shiqing gave Li Fuchun such a high courtesy was because of these two reasons, not only to admire Li Fuchun's achievements in the past few decades, but also to make an example and appease the hearts of the senior managers of Gongtian Iron and Steel Group, including Li Fuchun.

Li Fuchun could more or less guess some of the reasons why he enjoyed such courtesy, but he was still flattered, and a little bit of expectation of Liu Shiqing keeping him suddenly appeared in his heart. To tell the truth, let him leave Wuling Iron and Steel Group, he is still a little unwilling in his heart, after all, Wuling Iron and Steel Group is developed and grown in his hands, it can't be said that Wuling Iron and Steel Group is his own son, it is similar to the adopted son raised by his own hands, the feelings are very deep, if it is not a last resort, he neither wants to change jobs, work in multinational companies, nor do he want to retire early.

"Mr. Li, how has the collapse of the mine been handled? What about the workers? Liu Shiqing asked.

Li Fuchun hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu, a qiē is normal, the feelings of the employees are still relatively stable, even if there are some complaints, they are all trivial, no big deal." You don't need to worry too much about these people, someone will take care of it. ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, "Mr. Li, we will be a family in the future, I am not a word here, and there will be no crime for words." You can say anything openly, and you don't have any scruples. ”

Li Fuchun nodded, "I have heard a lot about Mr. Liu's open-mindedness. ”

Liu Shiqing smiled, what is he open-minded, that is, he has experienced a lot, and he can listen to some different opinions, "Mr. Li, this year is about to end, according to the customs of our Chinese people, it is necessary to formulate a work plan for the new year, do you have any views on the future development of Wuling Iron and Steel Group and even Gongtian Iron and Steel Group?" If so, let's talk about it. ”

Li Fuchun said: "Mr. Liu, I came this time, in fact, I came with a decision, I want to retire early, I am old, my energy is not as good as before, Gongtian Provincial Iron and Steel Group, Wuling Iron and Steel Group restructuring such a big thing, my current physical condition, there is definitely no way to do this, you better choose another meritorious." ”

Li Fuchun said while secretly looking at Liu Shiqing with his eyes, as long as Liu Shiqing had a little bit of meaning, he immediately left the Galaxy Building without looking back, and went back to Wuling Iron and Steel Group to go through the procedures for early retirement. He is retreating as advancing, hoping to find out how much Liu Shiqing attaches importance to him.

Ding Chongxiang interjected: "Mr. Li, why do you want to resign? Yes, you are now in your fifties, almost sixty, and according to the relevant regulations, you can indeed retire. But your body is still very good and strong, and you should not have any problems if you work for another ten or eight years. The position of general manager of Wuling Iron and Steel Group, all over the world, is you the most suitable candidate, if you retire early, will not abandon tens of thousands of employees of Wuling Iron and Steel Group? ”

Wang Zewei also said: "Mr. Li, we all hope that you can carefully consider your decision. Yinhe Industry needs you, and Wuling Iron and Steel Group also needs you......"

Wang Zewei wanted to say something, but Liu Shiqing waved his hand and interrupted him, "Uncle Wang, don't say it yet." Let me talk to Mr. Li. Mr. Li, I don't know why you chose to retire early, and I don't want to interfere too much in your decision, but I want to state some facts in front of you. Our country is a big steel country, but it spends a lot of money every year to import a large number of high-quality steel from Japan and the United States. In 2001, after the 9/11 incident in the United States, the Americans cleaned up the wreckage of the World Trade Center and removed a lot of scrap steel. Some of these scrap steel bars and other things were exported to Baosteel, which was listed in Shanghai, and entered Baosteel's furnace. You know about it? ”

Li Fuchun nodded, "I know about this, Baosteel imports the scrap steel bars of the World Trade Building, because as long as these waste steel bars are remelted, they will become very good steel again." This is much more cost-effective than refining and processing it yourself. ”

"Mr. Li, this is easy to say, but if you read it carefully, you feel that it is very unpleasant. The waste steel bars that the Americans dispose of like scrap, and we are like treasures, thousands of miles away, imported from the United States, recycled, and rebuilt to become a steel that we admire ourselves. What does this mean?

This shows that the quality of steel in the United States is much more beneficial than ours, a large section, the steel bars used by the Americans in the World Trade Tower, if they are broken, they will be broken when they are pulled, even if they are upside down, there will be no big factory that dares to ask for them. As a well-known veteran in the domestic steel industry, don't you think this matter makes us very helpless? If the buildings built by the steel refined by our iron and steel enterprises also encounter a disaster like 911, do you dare to say that there will be people scrambling to import those scrap steel? ”

"This ......" Liu Shiqing's questioning made Li Fuchun speechless. Wuling Iron and Steel Group has a relatively advanced plate production line in the world, and can also produce products such as steel bars, but ask yourself, Wuling Iron and Steel Group's various steel products, in terms of quality, there is indeed no way to compare with the products of advanced steel mills in the United States, Japan, Europe, etc. The reasons for this are very complicated, and it does not mean that after hard work, we will be able to catch up with the achievements of Europe, the United States and Japan in this regard.

"Mr. Li, let me tell you one more thing, we are the world's largest buyer of the international price of iron ore, but we have to rely on people's noses, allowing mining companies in Australia, Brazil and other countries to ask for sky-high prices, but we don't even have the power to parry. This is like doing business, asking for a price to pay back on the spot, which is a matter of course. However, in the iron ore negotiations, there is only 'sky-high asking price', but there is no 'repayment on the spot', don't you feel very sad as an old steel? ”

Li Fuchun sighed, "Mr. Liu, there are many reasons for the international price of iron ore, the most important of which is the lack of long-term strategic planning in China, on the contrary, Japan, the United States and other capital forces have seen how much demand for natural resources such as iron ore after the reform and opening up of our country many years ago. Naturally, they made a fortune.

In addition, our domestic iron and steel enterprises are not united enough, and some people inside cannot withstand the pull of the other party, selling confidential information, etc., which are important reasons for the current high international iron ore prices. This matter cannot be solved by shouting two slogans. The power of capital is ruthless, there is money to be made, even the father and mother can be sold, not to mention, we are not the father and mother of those mine shareholders, just a group of fat sheep with bulging pockets, they don't slaughter us, who do they slaughter? ”

Liu Shiqing smiled, "If I say that I have these ways to solve these problems, will you still leave your current position?" ”

Li Fuchun paused for a moment, "Mr. Liu, are you not joking?" The price of high-quality steel, iron ore, energy consumption, output ratio, etc. are all old and difficult problems that plague our domestic steel industry. ”

Liu Shiqing smiled and took out a copy of the article from the drawer and threw it in front of Li Fuchun, "Am I joking?" Mr. Li can take a look at this article first. ”

Li Fuchun first looked at the title of the article, the title was "The Feasibility of Exploration and Development of Deep Surface Minerals", which was an article in the nature of a thesis, and the signature was none other than Liu Shiqing.

Li Fuchun didn't bother to distinguish whether this Liu Shiqing on the paper was the Liu Shiqing in front of him, he still had a good understanding of technology, he first read the paper roughly, and then showed a solemn expression.

This paper is not very difficult to read, but it is relatively easy to understand, and its main content is to explore how to discover mineral resources at depths below a kilometer above the ground and how to develop them.

The in-depth development of mineral resources has always been one of the problems that plague people, and the understanding of the earth by all mankind actually has great limitations, and the understanding of scientists about the deep sea and underground is not even as good as the understanding of space. One of the important reasons for this is the lack of means and technology to go deep into the deep sea and underground. Where there is no way to reach even scientific research, you can imagine how difficult it is to develop and utilize it.

If the views in the paper are correct and feasible, then it means that in the whole of China, the mineral resources of deep strata below the kilometer can be explored and excavated, which invisibly improves the possession of mineral resources in China. Moreover, mastering this technology means that you can go abroad to find some abandoned mines and mines, contract or buy them at a relatively low price, and then use this technology to re-survey these abandoned mines and mines, and there is also a great possibility to find a lot of mineral resources.

Li Fuchun suddenly found that one of the biggest problems that has plagued the development of domestic iron and steel enterprises, international iron ore prices, seems to be no longer a problem at this moment. If this technology can really be developed and put into actual operation, then the price of a variety of ores, including iron ore, will be able to fall to a reasonable price in a relatively short period of time. At that time, Huaxia's iron and steel enterprises did not have to pay such a big price when importing iron ore from abroad.

"Mr. Li, what do you think of this paper? I'm going to submit it to the journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences after the Chinese New Year, do you think it's okay? Liu Shiqing asked with a smile.

Liu Shiqing didn't think about submitting articles to the academic journal of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, but Guo Qianrong reminded him of this. This approach can build momentum, and now the scientific theory is to build momentum, first let the scientific community discuss it, prove its feasibility, and then it can form a certain wave in the world, maybe there is no need for Galaxy Industry to engage in the development of deep mineral resources on the surface, and the international iron ore price will fall a lot.

In addition, Guo Qianrong also suggested that Liu Shiqing could selectively publish some articles in influential journals and newspapers at home and abroad on issues such as the development of the Taklamakan Desert, so as to build momentum for various projects. Liu Shiqing now has a lot of influence at home and abroad, and the articles he writes still have a lot of weight, and if they have weight, they will be read, studied, and attractive. This is much better than Liu Shiqing sitting in the office, waiting for someone to come to invest.

When Li Fuchun heard Liu Shiqing say that this article was written by him, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said in his heart, is this Mr. Liu a demon in the world? How many high-tech technologies are provided by Liu Shiqing, and this is not counted, and there is another exploration and development of mineral resources deep on the surface, is there anything Liu Shiqing doesn't know about in this world?

"Feasible, I think Mr. Liu's article will be published in the academic journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." Li Fuchun said sincerely.

Liu Shiqing said: "Mr. Li, you also know that I am very busy, even if this article can be published smoothly, but the technology hidden behind this article, I have no way to personally turn it into reality, I need someone, a person who can turn this technology into reality for me, I don't have anyone else, I fell in love with Mr. Li, I don't know if Mr. Li can help me complete this?" ”

When Li Fuchun heard this, his heart pounded in his chest...... V
