"They have also come to me, but they should be tempting the surname," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "Do you know that there is a seven-star company in Shanghai?" ”

Weng Wenhao thought for a while and said: "I've heard of it, but the specifics are not clear, maybe Yi Quinoa (that is, Qian Changzhao) knows." ”

"No matter who he is, I have guessed who their backstage is," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "As long as he says that he can't move the chairman, he can't do anything about me, on the contrary, I can still find trouble with him." ”

"How are you going to trouble him?" Weng Wenhao asked curiously, he didn't know who Zhuang Jihua was talking about, but according to his tone, he should be a powerful person.

Zhuang Jihua smiled and didn't speak, he picked up the material and knocked it on his hand: "Can I take this material with me?" ”

"Of course you can, but you're the only one to watch." Weng Wenhao said solemnly: "There are only four people who can read this information, you, me, Yi Quinoa and the chairman of the committee. ”

"Don't worry, others can't see it." Zhuang Jihua received the document into the briefcase, and then said to Weng Wenhao: "I have an idea I want to discuss with you. ”

Weng Wenhao made a gesture to signal him to continue, and Zhuang Jihua continued: "I want to set up a Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the purpose of which is to conduct military science and technology research with well-known domestic scientists as leaders. ”

"Is this different from the Resource Committee?" Weng Wenhao thought about it and asked, the resource committee has gathered the best experts in the country.

"Yes," Zhuang Jihua said, "The Resources Committee is strategic, and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is tactical." Specifically, the Resources Committee is responsible for industrial layout, financial consolidation, diplomatic research, mineral exploration, and transportation construction; The Industrial Defense Science and Technology Commission is responsible for the study of weapons, from rifles to heavy machine guns, mortars to heavy artillery, tanks to aircraft. ”

"Well, that's a good idea," Weng Wenhao said after thinking about it, "but this needs the approval of the chairman." ”

"I'll go and say to the chairman, but I don't have a candidate," Zhuang Jihua sighed and said: "This person must understand the development of modern military weapons, as well as the development of modern science and technology and industry." ”

Weng Wenhao stood up and thought about it and said, "There is a person who may be suitable, but I don't know if he is willing or not. ”

Zhuang Jihua stood up immediately: "Who?" ”

"Yu Dawei," Weng Wenhao walked in front of Zhuang Jihua: "Yu Dawei graduated from Harvard University, and later entered the University of Berlin to study mathematics, and later transferred to ballistics. ”

In the end, a smile appeared on Weng Wenhao's face, and Zhuang Jihua also smiled: "That's really good, the admiral is the best." ”

Then he frowned and asked, "How is this person's character?" ”

Weng Wenhao shook his head and sighed and said: "Cultural Revolution, don't think that the national political axe is all corrupt officials, this Yu Dawei is famous for being honest, and his character has nothing to say." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded, he believed that Weng Wenhao, this geological expert, like those experts in the base, was academically rigorous and honest. In the past year, Zhuang Jihua mainly came into contact with these intellectuals, and they were high-level intellectuals, and they gave him the impression that they were a group of people with a high degree of patriotism, who were rigorous and pragmatic in their studies, and who never talked about empty words, and did not have the atmosphere of only currying favor with political leaders in their previous lives.

After a while, Weng Wenhao's secretary Wu Zhaohong came over and invited them to the conference room, there were already seven or eight people in the conference room, except for Qian Changzhao, Zhuang Jihua only knew Sun Yueqi, and the other two did not know.

"This is Zhuang Jihua Zhuang Cultural Revolution General, deputy director of the Resources Committee," Weng Wenhao first introduced Zhuang Jihua to them, and then said to Zhuang Jihua: "Ethyl and Yueqi, you know both, I won't say more, this is Mr. Wu Yunchu, a chemical expert, Mr. Yun Zhen is currently in charge of the power group, Mr. Yan Yaoqiu, the manager of the Shanghai Machinery Factory, Mr. Hu Jiwen, chairman of the Shanghai Machinery and Hardware Association, Mr. Yan Yezhi...., Mr. Cheng Yifa, ........"

These people stood up to greet Zhuang Jihua together, and Zhuang Jihua did not dare to slack off at all, which won their favor.

"Deputy Director Zhuang is currently in charge of the development of southwest China in Sichuan, and his work is very busy, and it is rare to have time to go back to Nanjing, so we must seize the time and implement the things that need to be done." Qian Changzhao waited for everyone to sit down and then spoke. Recently, the development of the southwest has become known to everyone in the country, and these people know some things about Zhuang Jihua, but of course the details are not clear.

"The first topic is the resumption of steelmaking at the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant." Weng Wenhao looked at Qian Changzhao and announced the opening of the meeting.

"Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant has not made steel for ten years, and the recovery needs to determine two things, the first is the capital, and the second is the relationship between the shareholders; The main thing in this is funding. Yan Yezhi is the person in charge of the iron and steel group, and he is also the person in charge of the investigation at the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant: "At present, the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant has seven 30-ton Martin furnaces, four 35-ton Martin furnaces, and one 50-ton blast furnace, in addition to the iron plant, there are two blast furnaces of 800 cubic meters, a 477 cubic meter mixed iron furnace, and there are also three rolling mills in the rolling workshop. ”

No one spoke, Weng Wenhao and Qian Changzhao had communicated with Yan Yezhi in advance, and when they heard his words again at this moment, they still felt shocked and distressed.

"Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant is part of the Hanyeping Company, with a design capacity of 300,000 tons of steel per year, reaching an annual output of 70,000 tons of steel at the peak, the main reason for the suspension of production is serious losses, foreign steel, especially the dumping of steel to China, resulting in steel prices lower than the market price, before the shutdown, Hanyeping Company borrowed a total of 60 million oceans from the businessmen in order to maintain production and expand the scale of production, and later said that I converted some of these loans into shares, so at present, the businessmen occupy about 40% of the shares of the Hanyeping Company, in additionHe said that he has strict regulations on borrowing, such as borrowing with factory and mineral property and iron sand as security; The term is 30 years; In addition to the Hanyang Iron Works' own use, iron sand should be sold to me first; The price of iron sand is negotiated by both parties and is not affected by the international market. In addition, Sheng Xuanhuai also borrowed from the British back then, and the British also took the opportunity to convert part of their loans into shares, so the current composition of Han Yeping's shares is 45% from the Chinese side, 40% from the capital, and 15% from the British businessmen. Yan Yezhi read his findings expressionlessly.

….

After listening to the report, Zhuang Jihua frowned and asked, "Who is the general manager of Hanyeping Company now?" ”

"Sheng Xuanhuai's son Sheng Enyi, supervisor Brown, chief engineer Li Wei, and Daye Iron Mine manager Saito Kosuke." Yan Yezhi replied.

"Mr. Yan, if we proposed to Han Yeping to buy an iron mill and a steel mill, do you think they would agree?" After thinking about it, Zhuang Jihua felt that there was no good way to solve it with money.

"Bought it? I have thought about this method, and I have asked Sheng Enyi, Sheng Enyi's answer is that I may not agree, a few years ago the price of steel rose, the company has discussed the plan to resume steelmaking, but due to my opposition, this plan was abandoned, and later Wuhan businessmen planned to raise funds to buy the steel plant, but still rejected by the businessmen. Anger appeared on Yan Yezhi's face.

"I don't understand that my purpose is to strangle China's steel industry and use China as their base for selling raw materials and products." Cheng Yifa said loudly angrily.

"Yes, that's their purpose, but now that we know, there is a way to deal with them," Zhuang Jihua said quietly.

"Oh, what's the solution? Tell me about it. Weng Wenhao asked eagerly, and the others also looked at Zhuang Jihua eagerly, no one expected that Zhuang Jihua would be able to come up with a solution immediately.

"Mr. Weng, you are a scientist and don't understand the way of doing business, in fact, this is very simple, for Han Yeping, the steelmaking part of the asset is already a non-performing asset, and it can be stripped off, so as long as we bid, they should sell. The problem now is that according to the rules of a joint-stock company, if the majority of shareholders agree to the sale, and the minority shareholders do not, then the shareholders who do not agree will have to compensate the other shareholders for their losses. Mr. Yan, do you think 30 million can make the British tempted? Zhuang Jihua turned his head and asked Yan Yezhi.

"Thirty million!" Everyone was almost stunned, the total investment of Hanyeping Company was about 60 million, including the coal mine in Pingxiang, the iron ore in Daye and the railway that connected them, and the steel plant alone was worth up to 30 million. This is almost the price of building a new factory: "30 million, too high, the last time a Wuhan merchant bid 10 million, the British wanted to agree, 15 million should be fine." Yan Yezhi replied, but then he said irritably: "Even if it's fifteen million, what about this money?" ”

"Money, you don't have to worry, I will allocate it from the Southwest Development Task Force, so let's give him a price of 20 million, and the reserve price is 30 million, I will send someone to negotiate, and you will not show up." Zhuang Jihua looked wealthy.

Everyone at the venue looked at Weng Wenhao and Qian Changzhao blankly, and they had great doubts about the funding of Zhuang Jihua's Southwest Development Task Force.

Weng Wenhao also didn't know where Zhuang Jihua's funds came from, he had never allocated funds to the Southwest Development Task Force, and the funds given by the National Political Axe to the Resources Committee were only 10 million, and in a year, this fund was not even 1 million, and before Zhuang Jihua set off, he wanted to allocate 3 million to him, but Zhuang Jihua refused, and clearly told him that his funds had their own sources and did not need to be allocated by the committee. Weng Wenhao once thought that Chiang Kai-shek had privately allocated him money, but 30 million, would Chiang Kai-shek agree?

"Cultural Revolution, can you tell me where this money comes from?" Weng Wenhao was both curious and emotional, after all, Zhuang Wenge was a close student of Chiang Kai-shek.

"Cultural Revolution, I don't understand, where did the funds for the Southwest Development Task Force come from?" Qian Changzhao also asked: "You said that you have a source of funds, where do you get your funds from?" ”

Zhuang Jihua hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "The funds come from donations from overseas Chinese in the United States, and before I returned to China, they donated a sum of money to me, and now the funds for the development of the southwest are this money." In fact, don't look at me in the southwest to build roads and factories, those are not mainly my money, it is Mr. Mei Yuntian's investment. I also plan to invite Mr. Mei Yuntian to invest in the 30 million. ”

Weng Wenhao and Qian Changzhao showed a look of sudden realization at the same time, it is really a gentleman who can be bullied. However, there are still people present who are not gentlemen, Yan Yaoqiu, Wu Yunchu and others exchanged glances, obviously they were suspicious of Zhuang Jihua's words.

"But there is still a problem," Cheng Yifa suddenly said eagerly: "Just let us buy the steel plant, but Daye Iron Ore is still in their hands, will I sell the iron ore to us?" ”

Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said: "The matter of Daye Iron Mine does not care about him for the time being, there is also an iron mine in Sichuan, it is really not possible, it can be transported from Sichuan." ”

Since Zhuang Jihua is in charge of the affairs of Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, it is not easy for others to say anything. But Zhuang Jihua raised a question: "After the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant is recovered, who will be the general manager?" First of all, I don't have a candidate. ”

"We nominate candidates, does Mr. Mei Yuntian approve of it?" Weng Wenhao asked strangely, since it was Mei Yuntian who paid the money, it was natural that he should be looking for someone.

"Of course I recognize, I know him, and he doesn't have anyone on his hands." Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "He is very happy that you can send someone." ”

"Li Wei, now the chief engineer of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant." So Yan Yezhi recommended.

"Okay, that's him." Zhuang Jihua smiled, as if the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant was already in his hands.

"The matter of Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant was decided in this way, and Deputy Director Zhuang sent someone to negotiate." Weng Wenhao explained the first topic and then asked the second question: "We have conducted a survey of Shanghai's industry, and Shanghai has a complete range of industries, but all of them have the disadvantages of small scale, so we discussed how to help them expand their production scale. ”

"How to help them, first of all, you need to know their needs." Zhuang Jihua said as he looked at the managers who had not spoken and were sitting in a precarious position.
