While paying attention to the international situation, Xu Zhengdao is also improving the group's next development strategy. When the time came to the beginning of April, Xu Zhengdao arrived in southern Fujian again by special plane. This time I went to southern Fujian to inspect the steel mills that were officially mass-produced.

From construction to mass production, the steel plant took less than a year. However, for many people who pay attention to steel mills, it is also extremely shocking to see that the special steel refined by steel mills has reached the international leading level.

Many interns sent from state-owned steel plants also really felt how big a technical gap exists between the steelmaking equipment of this steel plant and the steel plant where they worked before.

At present, a large part of the special steel produced by the steel plant has been transported to Tiens Heavy Industry in Xiangjiang for digestion. The rest of the output is directly purchased by domestic enterprises or units. Therefore, the product is naturally in short supply.

For the foreign steel mills that used to produce special steel, it is natural to feel a little unhappy to see that the domestic enterprises that originally bought their special steel at a high price are now directly purchasing at the steel mills of the Myth Group and do not have to pay foreign exchange.

But there is no way to do it, who let Xu Zhengdao's steel plant produce high-quality special steel?

The most important thing is that this steel mill is in the country, and in the case of internal procurement, it naturally does not have to pay foreign exchange. This will undoubtedly save a lot of foreign exchange for the country. However, the output of steel mills is still not enough for domestic demand.

In this case, according to the previous investment agreement, the technical team of the steel plant has also begun to provide technical support to the domestic state-owned steel plant. Help them improve the steelmaking process and equipment, and enhance the competitiveness of domestic steel.

Ordinary steel, which used to be sold cheaply, is now digested directly internally, even directly to the steel mills under the Mythical Group. All in all, the inauguration of the mythical steel plant began to reduce the domestic dependence on special steel.

As the official in charge of procurement said, when the foreign steel mills that had sold their special steel before learned that they could purchase them from China, and the quality was no less than theirs, the previous arrogant posture immediately decreased a lot.

Not only is the price very discounted, but even when talking about cooperation, the tone is much friendlier. Until this moment, these staff who specialize in external procurement have truly realized the truth of what it means to be 'strong has the right to speak'.

During the inspection of the steel plant, I saw the person in charge of the domestic steel plant who came uninvited one after another, and Xu Zhengdao, who knew their intentions, said very directly: "I know very well what you mean, but technical transformation takes time and more money!" ”

To understand these steel mills is to see the technological advantages that mythical steel mills have. The problem is that even if he promised to help with technological transformation. However, many equipment cannot be produced independently in China, and it also needs to be purchased from abroad.

And the heads of these steel plants all want to become the first steel plant to be technologically transformed. But for Xu Zhengdao, he will listen to the opinions of the higher authorities. As for saying that there is no problem with helping to purchase, it is not advisable to pay the purchase cost in advance.

Even if the mythical group is not short of foreign exchange, the question is how many state-owned steel plants are there in the country?

The amount of foreign exchange required to purchase these equipment can add up to a staggering figure. Moreover, every steel mill produces special steel, has the domestic market digested it? Reasonable and orderly planning is the wisest choice.

His suggestion also made the leaders in charge of relevant affairs begin to think deeply about the reform of the state-owned steel plant. As Xu Zhengdao said, those steel plants with backward technology and low production efficiency might as well be merged or shut down.

This kind of situation of rushing to the top when you see the benefits will only lead to vicious competition. If the domestic steel wants to go abroad to earn foreign exchange in the future, it is necessary to establish a model and build several large-scale well-known steel enterprises.

After the suggestion was adopted, the people in charge of the steel plant who wanted to come over and almost go through the back door were also persuaded by the leaders of the competent department to return. Xu Zhengdao's suggestion was quickly placed on the desk of the senior management, and the matter was discussed and analyzed.

did not disappoint Minnan and the leaders above, but after listening to the suggestions of the person in charge of the steel plant and the R&D team, Xu Zhengdao immediately announced the start of the second phase of the steel plant to further improve the production efficiency of the steel plant.

The Materials Research Institute, which has spent a lot of money, has also made a certain degree of breakthroughs and achievements in some alloy steels and special steels. In Xu Zhengdao's view, these new steel products have huge market potential in the future.

In the face of the second phase of the project, and nearly one billion yuan of foreign exchange investment, southern Fujian is naturally very happy. There is a well-known iron and steel company, and the annual tax revenue that the government can collect is also a large amount.

What made southern Fujian even more pleased was that after learning about the relevant situation, Xu Zhengdao took the initiative to let the mythical bank contribute funds and borrow funds from the government to build a highway network in important cities in southern Fujian.

As for the borrowed money, how to repay it in the future, it is naturally paid from the highway toll. Although it is said that it can be funded for free, Xu Zhengdao still said that this kind of thing is not easy to do. What about the other provinces that have invested in southern Fujian?

If it is funded by a bank and the government repays it with future tolls, it is a commercial practice. If other provinces also have similar needs, then they can still negotiate with Shinhwa Bank, and even let the domestic Huayin act as a guarantor.

After asking for instructions and reporting, the above quickly said that it could be tested. If this cooperation model is beneficial to reform and development, then it can be further promoted. Even further instructions were given from above, hoping to borrow foreign exchange to repay the Chinese dollar.

For such a suggestion, Xu Zhengdao thought about it and agreed. But the amount of the loan must be in line with the construction of the highway. The implication is that money can only be used to build roads, not to open one's mouth.

The repayment of the loan is also based on the official exchange rate in the future. Naturally, there is no opinion in China on this point. But they know that in the future, the exchange of Chinese dollars for foreign exchange will gradually increase, and they will definitely have to repay more money with Chinese dollars!

After completing the inspection and further cooperation negotiations, Xu Zhengdao took a special plane and arrived in Shanghai one step ahead of Su Yuhang and others. For the upcoming investment conference in Shanghai, his arrival has also attracted the attention of the outside world.

Even when the special plane arrived at the airport, Shanghai also gave a high-standard reception. The most important thing is that the leaders of Shanghai also want to take advantage of the conference to discuss with Xu Zhengdao on the policy matters of the development of the new area.

After all, at present, the country is more about crossing the river by feeling the stones. Whether it is good or not, many people can't grasp it. But many domestic leaders know that the richest man in Asia has a high strategic vision.

Most importantly, he is very supportive of domestic reforms and always gives some refreshing advice. This investment conference attaches great importance to Shanghai and even China, and it is also extremely important to listen to the opinions of many parties.

Although Xu Zhengdao did not have the interest to point out the country, he felt that it was also necessary to let the country take fewer detours in some things. After all, the development of the new area in Shanghai has a very far-reaching and great strategic impact on the future of the country!
