Chapter 586: Vicious Competition

The car was just about to start, when Liu Yan suddenly saw his old leader at the cement factory, Yang proudly, pushing an electric car out of the cement factory.

Liu Yan pulled over and walked over to Yang proudly.

"Director Yang, what are you doing here?"

Yang Deyi was pushing the electric car out with his head down, and when he looked up and saw Liu Yan, his expression showed a hint of surprise.

"Mayor Liu, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yan helped Yang proudly park the electric car on the side of the outer wall near the guard's room, and said embarrassedly: "Director Yang, you still call me Xiao Liu, I listen to it." ”

Yang said in a panic: "That's not daring, you are now the parent official of our Jundu City, why am I embarrassed to call you Xiao Liu?" ”

Liu Yan said: "Just call me Xiao Liu, if you call me Mayor Liu again, it means that you are separated from me in your heart." ”

Yang glanced at Liu Yan proudly and said, "Okay, I'll call you Xiao Liu in the future." ”

Liu Yan said: "Director Yang, the two of us haven't seen each other for almost three years, right?" ”

Yang said proudly: "Isn't it, since the cement factory was shut down, the two of us haven't seen each other." ”

Liu Yan asked, "How is your health lately?" ”

Yang said proudly: "The body is better than before, isn't it, I originally planned to take advantage of the body to exert some residual heat, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't take long to get mixed up." Saying that, Yang proudly patted the cover roll on the back seat of the electric car, sighed and said, "I just resigned from my boss, and from now on, I never want to step into the cement industry again." ”

Looking at Yang's solemn expression, Liu Yan guessed that this upright old leader must have something unspeakable.

The road environment in Hongchang Town, compared with the road environment in Guliang Town, can be said to be a world of difference, the area where Zhiqiang Cement Co., Ltd. is located, from the dividing line between Guliang Town and Hongchang Town, is less than a kilometer away, but the environment here is compared with the Guliang Town section, has been obviously bad, the holly trees planted on both sides of the road, in the Guliang Town section is still lush and green, to here, but is covered with a layer of heavy white, just like a pulsatilla.

The road surface that looks clean is thick white haze as soon as a vehicle passes by. Liu Yan and Yang proudly stood on the side of the road and talked, and from time to time they would be attacked by white mist, and Liu Yan's mouth had a feeling of teeth.

Liu Yan pointed to a restaurant across the kilometer and said to Yang proudly: "Director Yang, let's go into the restaurant and talk for a while." ”

Yang nodded proudly, and the two of them entered the restaurant together.

The restaurant owner came over to greet them: "You two, what do you want to eat?" ”

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yan and Yang Deyi have just had lunch, so they don't have the heart to eat, but since they have entered the restaurant, it is really not interesting to sit dry, plus they haven't seen each other for several years, Liu Yan felt that he should accompany the old leader to drink a little, so he ordered four appetizers, and ordered a hot and sour soup, Liu Yan went back to the car and took a bottle of Jian Nanchun, and the two of them chatted while drinking.

In the first two years, he has been recuperating at home, and after he recovered, he came to Zhiqiang Cement Co., Ltd. through a friend's introduction, mainly responsible for the production and operation of the cement plant.

In March, the boss of the cement factory suddenly changed hands, and the original boss sold the cement factory to Zhang Changding, deputy director of the Zhongzhou City Public Security Bureau.

Later, I heard from others that the original boss of this cement factory, surnamed Liang, used to follow the black * road, and built this cement factory just to launder the black * money in his hand.

Yang Deyi also heard that this cement factory was only sold for 3 million, which was similar to the one given to Zhang Changding for nothing, and Yang Deyi and Liu Yan were both experts in this area, and knew that to build a cement factory of this scale, at least 18 million would be needed.

After Zhang Changding took over, he handed it over to his sister-in-law to take care of it, and nominally, the owner of this cement factory was Zhang Changding's sister-in-law Kong Shufang.

Kong Shufang works in the Jundu Education Bureau, and still serves as the deputy head of the department, from Monday to Friday, Kong Shufang goes to the Education Bureau every morning to order, and then drives to the factory.

On Saturday and Sunday, Kong Shufang was basically in the factory.

Kong Shufang also did not understand the production and operation of cement, so she had to continue to entrust Yang Deyi to take care of the daily affairs of the cement factory.

Yang was proud but didn't want to stay and continue to do it, he learned about Kong Shufang's personality from the side, and felt that his character was difficult to get along with someone like Kong Shufang. According to people who are familiar with Kong Shufang, Kong Shufang has entered menopause since she was 16 years old, and for more than 30 years, she has become more and more powerful, and her bad temper is really unbearable.

It's just that Kong Shufang has just taken over, and there are several leading figures who have done work in the middle, at this time, Yang Deyi is really embarrassed to leave immediately.

Yang Deyi has been dealing with Kong Shufang for less than a month, and she can't stand her style like a second madman, Kong Shufang's approach to many things completely exposes her face, and what people who are familiar with her describe is as good as that.

In front of Yang Smug, Kong Shufang also made her petty at every turn, and when she was unhappy, she said unpleasant things with a black face, regardless of the occasion; If you are happy, I will throw you tens of thousands of dollars casually, and let him make it casually. But in Yang's proud heart, he felt that this was simply a food to eat.

Yang Deyi is a person who wants to be faced, he really can't stand the stinky temper of this girl, he didn't want to work here for less than a week after Kong Shufang came, and then Li Songlin personally came forward to stay, and Yang Deyi reluctantly stayed.

Liu Yan asked: "How is the operation of the cement plant?" I think the sales situation is good! ”

Yang said with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, it looks like it's quite prosperous, but it's actually not profitable at all." You don't know that in the past few years, there was a problem of oversupply in the entire cement market, although a number of vertical kiln enterprises were shut down, but then a number of dry cement production lines were launched, as well as a large number of cement grinding stations, these enterprises, the production scale is larger, the daily output is higher. Up to now, the production capacity of cement in the whole plain province is 170 million tons, almost twice the market demand, the current cement market, there is serious vicious competition, especially in our Jundu area, the enterprises are dumping each other, in order to compete for the market, every enterprise is in the guaranteed sales, even loss sales. ”

Liu Yan asked puzzledly: "Why does this have to be the case?" Isn't open competition bad? ”

Yang sighed proudly and said: "There are some situations that you may not know very well, but now the basic consumption of a cement plant is much larger than before, and it is precisely for this reason that everyone is forced to take the road of vicious competition." Let me give you an example, it turns out that the four production lines of our Jundu cement plant have only two transformers of 200, and now, a cement production line needs 2500 transformers, so that the basic electricity bill for only one month is 50,000 yuan, in addition, the Hongchang town government set a land tax for each cement production line, which is 120,000 yuan per month, plus other necessary expenses, I roughly calculated that even if a cement plant does not produce a ton of cement, the basic consumption of a month is more than 400,000. Everyone will calculate this economic account, the same scale of production of cement plants, the amount of sales, will be directly involved in the cost of cement, for example, Zhiqiang cement plant can only sell 10,000 tons of cement a month, the basic cost of each month, spread on a ton of cement, is more than 40 pieces, Lingfeng cement plant can sell 50,000 tons of cement a month, spread on a ton of cement, the cost is only eight, between eight and more than 40 pieces, the difference is more than 30 yuan, now the cement enterprises themselves require very low profits, In this regard alone, there is a difference of more than 30 yuan from others, what advantage do you have to compete with other manufacturers? Now, all cement factories are working hard to crush other manufacturers first. But every company thinks so, and in the end, I'm afraid no one will be better. ”

Liu Yan said worriedly: "Such vicious competition will inevitably derive a series of drawbacks, in order to survive, all enterprises will use some unsightly tricks to maintain their own survival." ”

Yang smirked bitterly and said: "I really let you say, now, in order to maintain survival, the cement companies have sacrificed all kinds of strange tricks, at the beginning, it was to make a fuss about the weight of cement, a hundred pounds of cement bags, containing ninety-seven pounds and ninety-eight pounds, and then the families followed suit, making it more and more disagreeable, the weight is much worse than the standard requirements, users are definitely unwilling, and now, has begun to make a fuss about the quality of cement." ”

Liu Yan was taken aback, when he worked in the cement factory, he was engaged in quality management, he knew in his heart that the construction project was a century-old plan, as the main raw material of the construction project, who would dare to cheat on it?

Yang proudly saw his concern in Liu Yan's expression, and explained: "When I said making a fuss about the quality of cement, I don't mean that the quality of cement is not enough, the early strength of cement can still meet the national standard." The quality requirements of the people for cement, certainly not so professional, as long as the early solidification is good, it feels that it is good cement, and now the cement produced by the cement plant is to drill the loopholes in the people's cognition, when grinding cement, excessive grinding aids are added to it, you are a professional, you must know that the excessive use of grinding aids, for the quality of cement, what kind of results will be caused. ”
