Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan left Pingchuan for Hong Kong on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and stayed there until the fourteenth day of the New Year before flying back.

It can be said that the Fengtong Railway double-tracking project has reached its most critical moment. Although he can also remotely control some things by phone, they are not as convenient as handling them in person. Moreover, there is another thing that makes him have to come back.

The provincial government of Qinxi Province plans to eliminate the bad steel companies in the territory and retain the good ones, and establish the Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company based on the four large state-owned steel companies.

What the province means is that it hopes that the Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory can also join the future Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company, or at the worst, let the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company enter the Special Steel Association.

The Special Steel Association, which was established many years ago, has now become an important guild in the steel industry in China. Many domestic steel group companies apply to join every year, but there are very few successful ones - after all, there are no

People want others to squeeze in easily and get their share of the cake.

Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, due to the low industry concentration of domestic steel companies and the low degree of production specialization, economies of scale have not yet been achieved. The production capacity of domestic small and medium-sized materials and low-grade products is in a state of relative excess, and low-level competition has intensified.

, this exclusion is becoming more and more obvious. Compared with ordinary steel, the self-sufficiency rate of high value-added special steel products is lower, and a considerable part of it still relies on imports to this day. The profit margin is much higher, so special steel has become

It has many members of the Specialty Steel Association and is the main source of profits.

Moreover, over the years, after many quarrels and negotiations, the members of the Special Steel Association have realized the prototype of a specialized division of labor in the types of special steel, and are gradually changing the traditional plates, tubes, and rods.

The situation of a universal factory that produces wires, profiles, etc. This allows the major steel group companies to avoid as much as possible the same special steel, everyone is rushing to start the same type of special steel, and then compete in an orderly manner.

This allows these group companies to still ensure considerable profits after the domestic and foreign steel markets have cooled down. This makes domestic steel group companies that have not been able to join even more jealous. In the past three to five years, in order to join the special

The Steel Association and these steel group companies have racked their brains and come up with a lot of solutions, and some have even gone to the Central Government. Fortunately, the Special Steel Association has occupied a very important position in the domestic steel industry.

, even the leaders of the central government could not resolve it with just one word, so they withstood the pressure.

As the advocate and founder of the Special Steel Association, although the Fang family's steel industry production capacity is not the largest among all members, its status in the Special Steel Association is somewhat transcendent.

Firstly, the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory, the main R&D base of the Special Steel Association, is in the hands of the Fang family; secondly, the most basic special steel patented technologies of the Special Steel Association, which are currently among the top sellers, are all

It was contributed by the Fang family; thirdly, the Fang family not only has the unique two-seat voting right in the Special Steel Association, but also has limited veto power! Although, since the establishment of the Special Steel Association, the Fang family has not used this

rights, but no one can ignore this trump card.

Moreover, although the Fang family did not compete for leadership of the steel import and export company jointly invested and founded by members of the Special Steel Association, no one can deny that there are considerable markets and channels for special steel exports that were developed by the Fang family.

After considering all factors, the Fang family’s opinion is undoubtedly very important in the Special Steel Association. At some point, it can even play a decisive role.

These steel companies in Qinxi Province were not qualified to participate because they were too small when the Special Steel Association was established. Now, after the establishment of the Qinxi Steel Group Company, the scale is large enough.

It is not easy to join the Special Steel Association. I don’t know how many steel group companies of similar size have applied for it for many years, but have not been successful.

At this time, in the small conference room of the Qinxi Provincial Government, everyone headed by Li Ziqiang was discussing this issue.

"Judging from the current comprehensive situation, the future Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company has low average technical equipment level and unreasonable product structure, so the tasks of technological transformation and industrial upgrading in the future will be very arduous." Chang Zhiming, Director of the Department of Industry

After a pause, he continued, "According to department statistics, in the company, the production capacity of about 2.5 million tons in the iron-making blast furnace is backward, accounting for about 55% of the total capacity.

, among which the production capacity of small blast furnaces less than 100 cubic meters that are scheduled to be phased out is about 1.6 million tons. Among the company's steelmaking equipment, about 1.2 million tons of converters have backward production capacity.

It accounts for 57% of the current company's converters; the electric furnace has about 1.1 million tons of backward production capacity, accounting for 71% of the electric furnace production capacity. Among the steel rolling equipment, there are many equipment with internationally advanced technology levels.

To thirty percent..."

"Director Chang, interrupt me. I heard that international steel companies generally spend more than 4% of their annual sales revenue on new product development. In the future, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company will spend more than 4% of its annual sales on new product development.

What is the budget?" asked Lu Yiping, director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. He just landed in Qinxi Province a year ago, so he did not fully understand the basic situation of the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company, a company to be established.

.

Chang Zhiming glanced at Li Ziqiang, and then said: "I'm afraid it's less than one percent of the sales revenue!" In fact, he still saved some face for the four state-owned enterprises, although judging from the books, they have paid out sales revenue every year.

A few tenths of percent of their income is used for new product development, but in reality, only they themselves know how this money is used!

The corner of Lu Yiping's mouth twitched slightly. The Qinxi Provincial Steel Group Company that was to be established was really weird. He had heard about it, and he felt that if the backward production capacity was eliminated, this provincial steel group company would be

, I am afraid it is not as good as the production scale of a municipal steel company in the southeast coastal area. In terms of new product development, the company does not even have 1% of sales revenue. Based on his understanding of state-owned enterprises, that means that basically

It's just resting on its laurels. Even if such a company is established as a steel group company, how competitive will it be in the domestic market?

"Well, the current situation of the Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company is indeed not optimistic. The situation is very serious and has reached the point where it cannot be changed unless it is changed. This is also the original intention of the provincial government's decision to merge these four companies to form the Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company. No

If you are small and small, you will never be able to become a trendsetter in the steel industry in the era of market economy!" Li Ziqiang coughed.

Li Ziqiang is naturally aware of the situation of these four state-owned steel companies. Although it has not reached the point where the blame cannot be opened, it is still difficult. Who would have thought that a Southeast Asian financial crisis would have such a great impact on the country, not only the domestic

As a result, the speed of economic development has slowed down, and it has also affected the exports of many companies in the southeastern coastal areas. As a result, these steel products that could have been exported have rushed into the domestic market. The result is that the economic losses of these four companies that were not included in the original are

The situation suddenly worsened.

According to the news he knows, Zheng Wei is likely to be transferred out of Qinxi Province in the second half of this year. It is not yet certain whether he will be promoted to the central government or go to a major economic province on the southeast coast to serve as a top leader.

.Although Li Ziqiang himself was transferred to Qinxi Province as governor not long ago, this is a rare opportunity after all, and Li Ziqiang must give it a try to gain some chips for himself to gain the top spot.

If the establishment of Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Corporation can consolidate and strengthen Qinxi Province's position in the steel industry in the northwest region and make it a new growth point for Qinxi Province's economy, this will undoubtedly be a very dazzling project.

Political achievements. However, it is not easy to achieve this point from the current point of view.

Although the economic development of Qinxi Province has been good in the country over the years, and it is among the best in inland areas, compared with the southeastern coastal areas, the gap still exists. The provincial finance has never been better.

As a province with a long history and a large population, there are too many things that need to be supplemented.

"But where do the costs for this technological upgrade come from?" Qian Qili, the deputy governor in charge of industry, frowned. Li Ziqiang has always been running this matter, and he has not been too involved, but after all, these companies originally

He is responsible for them all, and he has a good understanding of the current situation of the company. Even if these four companies merge to form Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company, if they cannot get enough capital injection to carry out technological transformation and new product innovation,

Based on the existing products alone, I am afraid it can only be said that the soup is changed without changing the medicine. Maybe the production cost can be reduced a little, but maybe it is not as good as before.

"The provincial finance can squeeze out 50 million yuan, and then borrow some money from the bank." Chang Zhiming's voice was a bit unconfident. The bank loans of these four companies are already almost the same as their total assets, and the provincial finance's five

Ten million yuan is a huge sum of money if it is invested in an individual or a small company, but if it is invested in a provincial steel group company, it will be just a drizzle, and it will be a pleasant surprise if it can make the ground a little wet.

!

"What I mean is, can we discuss with the Fang family, and the Fang family can invest in the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company?" Li Ziqiang said. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
