Resource Tycoon Reborn

The views of these two groups are basically the same in the Liao Provincial Steel Plant, and no one can convince the other. Although Fang Sheng also works in the Liao Provincial Steel Plant, for now, his main focus has been on Qin Xi

Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, so he was non-committal about the views of these two groups, so this dispute was submitted all the way to Fang Mingyuan.

Whether to continue to expand the production capacity of Liao Province's steel plants or to stabilize and lay a solid foundation first is indeed a question. Neither party's views are wrong, but it is just that a company has different priorities at different times.

Fang Mingyuan actually found it difficult to make a decision. From a market perspective, since there is no product backlog in the Liaoning Iron and Steel Plant, and the products of the Liaoning Iron and Steel Plant are so popular in the domestic and international markets, it is undoubtedly a good idea to continue to expand production capacity.

Many people will choose the result without hesitation.

But the other school is right. Over the years, the Liaoning Iron and Steel Plant has almost always been in the process of rapid expansion of production capacity. After the first phase of the project is completed, the second phase of the project will be launched immediately. After the second phase of the project is completed, the third phase of the project will begin again.

Construction starts, and the normal operation of a steel plant involves all aspects, such as raw material procurement, production, sales, personnel training, technology research and development... Only comprehensive and balanced development is the best state. Development will slow down in the short term.

The pace of progress does not mean giving up progress, it is just accumulating strength and waiting for the next opportunity to explode more violently!

But do we still need to wait for the next opportunity? Fang Mingyuan knows that the next few years will be the years when China's steel production capacity will continue to grow. In a few years, China's annual steel production will reach a terrifying level of more than 500 million tons.

!Although the country has been working hard to control and reduce the duplication of low-level steel plants as much as possible to prevent structural excess. But in fact, it has achieved little results.

In the future, China will not only be the largest country in steel production, but also the largest importer of steel products. The main reason is that the structural imbalance of domestic steel products is prominent. On the one hand, the flagship products of many domestic steel companies are rebar and small steel products.

, there is a serious overcapacity in the production of ordinary steel products such as wire rods. These ordinary steel products have low profit margins and almost no export market. Even if they can be exported, there is no profit. This is still under China's low environmental protection and low labor requirements. This kind of export earns foreign exchange.

Fang Mingyuan can only say no. On the other hand, some products with high added value and high technical difficulty, such as stainless steel plates and cold-rolled and hot-rolled sheets, cannot be produced domestically, and some can be produced but cannot be produced by enterprises.

There is a serious lack of capacity, which makes the supply of products exceed demand, and the country needs to import a large amount every year.

As for the Liaoning Iron and Steel Plant, due to its high starting point from the beginning, almost all it produced were high value-added and technically difficult varieties. Most of them were products that could not be produced domestically at the time, or that could be produced but had insufficient production capacity.

Nearly half of the production has been targeted at overseas markets from the beginning, which is why we can achieve such good benefits. In this cycle of best-selling steel products, it is indeed a pity to stop expanding production capacity.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan knows better than anyone in the country that in the next few years, the steel industry will undergo a major reshuffle internationally. In order to control costs and increase profit margins, whether in Europe, the United States, Japan, etc.

Steel production companies in developed countries have launched acquisitions and strong alliances, and larger-scale steel group companies have emerged one after another.

For example, in his previous life, Japan's Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Industries were negotiating to merge into a new company. The annual crude steel output would exceed 50 million tons, accounting for 5% of Japan's steel output.

Ten or so.

"How about expanding production scale through acquisitions?" An idea flashed in Fang Mingyuan's mind, "Just like what Mittal Steel did!"

Mittal Steel, at this period, was not well known at all, because it was not until the following year, after the merger of the famous LNM Holding Group and Ispat Steel Group, that the name Mittal Steel was officially adopted.

Two years later, Mittal Steel merged with ArcelorMittal Steel Group, Europe's largest steel company, to establish ArcelorMittal Steel Group, the world's largest steel company! Its annual steel production reached 120 million tons.

It is basically equivalent to the annual output of Japan, the world's second largest steel producer, making it an industry giant that is astonishing in the domestic steel industry!

The reason why Mittal Steel has been able to reach the top of such a brilliant industry is through repeated international mergers and acquisitions. Its mergers and acquisitions companies are all over the world!

Compared with Mittal Steel Company, today's Fang family also has similar conditions. It has a strong management team that has been trained through the construction and operation of Liao Province Steel Plant, its own R&D center, and sufficient iron ore.

Stone supply, sufficient coal supply, sufficient overseas transportation capacity, and the ability to develop and sell overseas markets. More importantly, the Fang family currently has sufficient funds! And all of these, in the future, will become domestic

Capital that many steel companies are envious of!

Perhaps in the international steel industry, the Fang family can only be regarded as a little-known figure, but at home, Fang Mingyuan believes that he has enough influence to acquire local steel companies with poor profitability! The dilemma of the steel industry in Qinxi Province

, it is not a special phenomenon in China!

Of course, in the international market, the Fang family will also try to extend its claws. If Fang Mingyuan remembers correctly, in the next few years, although it will be a period of great development for China's steel industry, it will also be a period for the world's steel industry.

It is a period of general trouble. The steel industry in many countries is in trouble for various reasons. This is also an important reason why the steel industry giants are frequently reshuffling. Everyone must control costs as much as possible and expand their market share.

, those small fish and shrimps will naturally only have the fate of being annexed!

After figuring out his ideas, Fang Mingyuan worked for three full days. With the help of his assistant team, he finally came up with a complete development plan!

Today, at the junction of Liaoyuan City and Wuye County, the original farmland has been replaced by the factory area of ​​a modern large-scale steel plant. Railways and highways traverse the entire factory area. Outside the factory area, a bustling city has been formed around the factory area.

town. Looking at the rows of small buildings and the numerous restaurants and shops on the streets, it is hard to believe that eight years ago, this was still a farmland, and the nearest village only had more than 2,000 people. There was only a shabby road.

The dilapidated road, which gets muddy when it rains and snows, connects Liaoyuan and Wuye County.

Today, the Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Plant has become a major tax collector in Liaoyuan City and a pillar of the economy. It is thanks to the Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Plant that the municipal state-owned enterprises in Liaoyuan City have regained their youth. , or even though they are bankrupt, workers do not have to worry about having nowhere to go. Whether they are going to Liaoyuan City or Wuye County, Liaoning Steel Plant has very convenient transportation, so even workers living in the city , you can also take the shuttle bus provided by the factory to commute to get off work every day.

As for those workers who do not own houses in the urban area of ​​Liaoyuan, many of them have settled in the towns where the factory is located. Almost half of the communities here are dormitories of the Liaoning Provincial Steel Plant. Workers at the steel plant only need a monthly

If you pay a moderate rent here, you can own your own home here according to your family's situation. As long as you are not fired by the factory, you can keep renting this house. Moreover, the factory also clearly stipulates that everyone in the factory

Workers who work until retirement can have the right to use the house until both spouses pass away. However, during this period, except for immediate family members, it is not allowed to be used by others, let alone rented.

For those workers who are willing to buy a house and live in the urban community where the factory is located, the factory will provide a certain amount of financial subsidies. More importantly, based on the general income of steel factory workers in Liaoning Province, the housing prices here are really not very expensive.

burden, and bank loans are also very satisfying.

Nowadays, in this emerging town, hospitals, primary and secondary schools, banks, post offices, supermarkets and all kinds of daily necessities are all available. Employees and their families of Liao Provincial Steel Plant, no matter where their household registration is, can enjoy the same benefits here as those with local household registration.

Although these expenditures have increased the financial burden of the steel plant, they have made the workforce of the Liaoning Steel Plant very stable and cohesive.

When Deng Zhong and Fang Mingyuan walked on the streets here together, Deng Zhong felt as if he were walking in a non-core area of ​​the provincial capital.

Because he had successfully "persuaded" the Fang family to invest 3 billion yuan in Liao Province to build the Liao Provincial Steel Plant, Deng Zhong, then deputy secretary and deputy governor, successfully overcame an important hurdle in his career and got his wish.

In 1996, he became the governor of Liao Province. And at the end of 2000, he successfully became the top leader of Liao Province. Among them, the brilliant performance of Liao Province Iron and Steel Works was also indispensable. The annual output of the company reached 10 million.

There are only a handful of steel companies producing tons of steel in the country. More importantly, the Liaoning Province Steel Plant is not just a standalone operation. It also effectively drives the development of upstream and downstream industries and contributes to the economic development of Liaoning Province.

a role that cannot be ignored.

Nowadays, it can be said that the Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Plant has reached a bottleneck. How can Deng Zhong not care?

Therefore, when he learned that Fang Mingyuan was coming to the Liao Provincial Steel Plant for an on-site inspection, Deng Zhong did not hesitate to put down his position as the leader and personally accompanied Fang Mingyuan to the Liao Provincial Steel Plant.
