Chapter 560: Massive Expansion
Next, Ling Shuang looked at the middle and senior leaders of Huapan Mining.
For every meeting, Huapan Mining is finally involved, and the middle and senior cadres of the mine are used to it.
There is no way, among the four major branches of Huapan, Huapan Mining has the most employees, but the revenue occupied is the lowest, and the profit is even lower.
This is also something that cannot be helped, the annual revenue of the mine accounts for more than 2 percent of the company's revenue, and as for the profit, it is not even one percent.
After all, there are many employees in the mine, the burden is heavy, but the profit is only about 20 percent, on this 20 percent, or the result of Huapan Special Steel's care, other mines in Panxi basically do not even have 10 percent of the profit, the mine is a typical heavy asset, resource enterprises, low profits are inevitable, not taken seriously, and there is no way to do it.
It can even be said that the titanium ore supplied by the mine could not even meet five percent of the annual production demand of Huapan Special Steel, if Chu Hao hadn't saved these miners at that time, and Lawrence felt pity for these poor miners and took the initiative to assume the position of general manager of the mine, otherwise the mine would have been disbanded long ago.
Ling Shuang looked at Lawrence and found that Lawrence was looking at her with a pair of puzzled eyes.
Lawrence is indeed puzzled now, after all, other middle and high-level leading cadres don't know why Ling Shuang was so picky before, but he knows it clearly.
And now depending on the situation, it must be Chu Hao who returned the money.
However, even so, he was still puzzled, even if Chu Hao returned the money, he didn't say that all the investment amounts should be doubled, after all, everyone knows that sometimes double the investment may not be able to exchange for double the return, and the marginal effect will always exist.
Not to mention, this also has to be considered for those project proposals, project approvals, and grants that have been rejected before!
What does this mean? There is no place to spend too much money?
He really didn't understand it, even if Chu Hao won some money back by betting, he couldn't stand spending it like this, right?
Or is it that Ling Shuang was afraid that Chu Hao would spend money indiscriminately, so he simply spent all the company's money, after all, even if the project was not very profitable, or even lost money, it was better than Chu Hao's money.
However, he felt that there was a problem here, no matter whether Chu Hao was too willful and crazy in spending money, Ling Shuang did this, although it was correct, he felt that it was not appropriate, and in the long run, the relationship between the two would be problematic.
Ling Shuang and Chu Hao were the ones he had watched step by step to get to where they were today, and it was not easy.
He didn't want to see the two separate, let alone because of money, so he decided to have a good talk with Ling Shuang after the meeting, even if it cost money, it was best to ask for Chu Hao's consent.
But it's best, it's just that I'm thinking too much.
As soon as she saw Lawrence's eyes, Ling Shuang immediately knew that she was afraid that Lawrence was also frightened by the posture of spending money.
Ling Shuang gestured to Lawrence, and would explain it to him later.
"Next, I want to talk about Huapan Mining, according to the company's plan, Huapan Mining's task is the simplest, but it is the heaviest, and the number of middle and senior leaders of Huapan Mining sitting here in the future will be at least tripled, or even five!" Ling Shuang said loudly.
Not to mention these, the middle and senior leaders of the mine, and even the middle and senior leaders of the other three major branches were completely dumbfounded.
No, during the meeting, the task of the mine has always been to ensure the personal safety of employees, so as not to have any production safety accidents, as for the rest, there is basically no requirement.
After all, the proportion of mine revenue is only more than 2 percent of the whole company, and the profit is only more than 1 percent.
The mine only supplies Huapan Special Steel, five percent of titanium alloy, this share, if one day the mine does not supply, other mines in Panxi will make up for the difference in minutes.
On the contrary, the number of employees of Huapan Mining accounts for more than half of the company, and they are engaged in dangerous mining work, although the company spares no effort to add various safety equipment to the mine, as well as new operating machinery, but its danger index is still much higher than the other three companies.
And, if something happens and someone dies, it will be a big problem for the whole company.
Therefore, the whole company has reached a consensus that it does not ask how much money the mine can make, but only that the mine will not have an accident!
In this regard, the employees of the mine are also well aware, after all, the relatives and friends around, even in other villages, relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles will come to visit them with generous gifts, in fact, what these so-called relatives and friends want is nothing more than to let them help find a job in Huapan Mining.
Although the other three branches are not looking down on Huapan Mining, the treatment of Huapan Mining in the whole Panxi is definitely second to none, whether it is salary, welfare, or safety factor, it is much higher than other mines.
And they, no matter where they are, are mining, why can't they choose a higher salary and safer mine.
But now, Ling Shuang actually said that Huapan Mining is the branch with the heaviest task in Huapan next year, and the number of middle and senior leading cadres in the mine here will actually triple or fivefold!
What is this for?
And if the number of middle and senior leaders in the mine should be increased by three to five times, then it does not mean that the number of employees under the mine should also be increased by three times or five times, or even more, otherwise why increase the number of leading cadres.
After all, a company may only have one general manager, but there is no limit to the number of employees in a company.
Lawrence also froze, he naturally knew what Ling Shuang was going to say next.
It can be said that this was planned by them a long time ago, but it could not be realized due to the lack of conditions.
Now, Ling Shuang actually wanted to put forward this plan!
Even buy Karma!
Is Ling Shuang crazy! Or is he crazy!
Ling Shuang looked at Lawrence's stunned expression, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but wipe a wicked smile, obviously she was very satisfied with Lawrence's expression.
This is why she put forward the plan without consulting Lawrence, firstly because there is really not enough time, and secondly, she wants to see what Lawrence looks like now.
Looking at the smile on the corner of Ling Shuang's mouth, Lawrence suddenly had a familiar feeling.
After a few breaths, he slapped his thigh violently, and suddenly realized that this smile was exactly the same as when Chu Hao smiled evilly.
It's really close to Zhu who is red and close to ink who is black, and Ling Shuang is with Chu Hao, and he has already learned badly.
Seeing that everyone had almost absorbed the information in their words, they coughed, and Ling Shuang continued: " Since the beginning of this month, Huapan Mining has launched a merger plan to absorb and merge large and small mines in Panxi, and strive to increase the core competitiveness of Huapan itself in the amount of titanium ore mined by its subordinate titanium ore fields next year, accounting for more than 60% of the entire Panxi and more than 50% of the supply capacity of Huapan Special Steel. ”
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched violently, and the middle and senior leaders of Huapan Mining opened their mouths as big as hippos, and their eyes were like copper bells, completely petrified.
No wonder Ling Shuang said that the task of the mine is the heaviest, and the tasks of the other three major companies are simply weak compared to the mine.
Not to mention how difficult it is for mines to occupy 60 percent of the hundreds of large and small mines in Panxi, let's just say that the second goal, the supply capacity of Huapan Special Steel, more than 50 percent, is an impossible task.
You must know that the titanium alloy powder supplied by the mine to Huapan Special Steel every year only accounts for 5% of the production capacity of special steel, so if you want to increase it to 50%, it means that the amount of titanium alloy powder produced by the mine every year will increase by more than 10 times.
However, if we take into account the fact that the global market share of Huapan Special Steel has increased from 20 percent to 40 percent, then this means that the annual production volume of the mine must increase by more than 20 times.
Twenty times!
That's an astronomical amount!
Absolutely spree!
In this way, if the mines in Panxi do not increase production, the 60% share is obviously not enough to meet such a target.
After all, although Panxi is the titanium capital of the world, its titanium ore production capacity has not yet been said, and it can reach more than half of the global titanium ore production capacity.
If it weren't for Ling Shuang's initial sentence, the task of the mine was the easiest, then the middle and senior leaders of the mine really thought that Ling Shuang was deliberately making things difficult for them, so that they could not complete the task, and in this case, the head office would have an excuse to dissolve the mine or resell it.
With the initial sentence, they were much more relieved, knowing that the head office was indeed not embarrassing them, and they really had this plan.
Twenty times more production, it's a big task, but it's not a very difficult one.
On the contrary, as Ling Shuang said, it was a very simple task.
Because the reason is very simple, there are so many mines in Panxi, most of the mines are in normal production, miners, equipment, mines, all kinds of miscellaneous things, even including middle-level cadres are ready-made.
All they need to do is wave the money and get these mines into Hua Pan's name.
In other words, there is no need for any other conditions, just to use money to write the name of Huapan on the titanium ore that should have been produced in the first place.
And who can say that spending money is a difficult thing.
Moreover, looking at Ling Shuang, today's situation, as well as the understanding of the company in the past, are simply behind the four big words of Huapan Group on the roof, plus the three words of money.
Well, that's right, Huapan Group is not bad for money!
Since they are not short of money, it will not be difficult to buy a mine from these mine owners.
After all, opening a mine is really a hard thing, not to mention low profits, but also very worried, a few years ago, the state supervision was not in place, they were better mixed, even if it was a dead person, buried in the mountain, no one knew.
Now, the requirements are getting stricter and stricter, and they are becoming more and more unable to do it, as long as Huapan gives the money in place, how can they have a reason not to sell.
Besides, if anyone really doesn't sell, then Huapan Special Steel will not accept his titanium ore directly, and the titanium ore absorbed by Huapan Special Steel occupies the Panxi market, more than 50%.
If Huapan doesn't buy their titanium ore, they really have nowhere to buy it, and those bits and pieces of special steel factories can't eat so much of their titanium ore.
Not to mention, basically these mine owners have borrowed a lot of money from the bank, and when it is time to repay the loan, the bank will not be polite to them if they have no money.
When the time comes, let alone money, I'm afraid I won't even have my life, I don't know how many people will have to jump from the roof, just to leave a way for their families to live.
With a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, I don't believe that these mine bosses don't give in!
Thinking of this, the eyes of the middle and senior leaders of the mine finally lit up, and with the support of the head office, they didn't say that they wanted the wind to be windy, and they wanted to be rainy, which was basically the same.
What benefits can be gained, let's not talk about it, at least, the mine is bigger, and some of my relatives and friends can finally arrange it in the mine.
Ling Shuang and Lawrence glanced at each other helplessly, looking at these elated middle and senior leaders of the mine with some pity.
Don't think about it, in the process of acquiring other mines, there will definitely be people who will take advantage of it, but Huapan's money is so easy to cheat, and next year, I am afraid that many of the middle and senior leaders of these mines present will be sent to prison.
This is also something that cannot be helped, it cannot be avoided at all, human nature is always greedy.
Even the other three major companies sent a few people to prison in this expansion, which is a normal thing.
Although, it is a bit thankless to do so, after all, even the mine has been proposed to be dissolved, or transferred, let alone expanded on such a large scale all at once.
However, there is no way, Huapan has to do this.
Just like the domestic steel companies.
You must master the source of raw materials yourself, which is also what Chu Hao must insist on.
Ling Shuang and Lawrence may not know very well, but Chu Hao knows very well that in the previous life, Huaxia's crude steel production capacity reached 1.1 billion tons, and the steel production capacity exceeded 850 million tons, accounting for more than half of the world's steel production.
However, the highest ranking of domestic steel enterprises is Baosteel, which ranks 23rd, Shagang, Anshan Iron and Steel, Wuhan Iron and Steel, and Mashan Iron and Steel, which are ranked 30th, 34th, 35th, and 37th respectively.
Accounting for half of the world's steel production, China's domestic steel enterprises, in the world's steel enterprise competitiveness ranking, is so miserable, it can even be said to be sad!
Even, China Steel on the treasure island can be ranked eleventh, twelve places higher than Baosteel, the highest in the mainland.
Why is that?
According to the analysis, from the annual steel shipments, scale, capacity expansion, the score of Huaxia mainland enterprises is basically much higher than the average of the listed enterprises, in terms of the scale of steel enterprises, Huaxia enterprises have more advantages. From the perspective of proximity to downstream users and labor costs, Huaxia steel enterprises have outstanding capabilities in human resources, which benefits from Huaxia's cheap labor and the strong relationship between enterprises and downstream users.
