Resource Tycoon Reborn

At this time, Fang Mingyuan was accompanying Chief Welf and Milot to visit the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company located in Weinan City. Also accompanying him were Li Guanjie and Jianlong, the general managers of the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company.

Branch factory director Qiao Limu, director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission Lu Yiping, director of the Department of Industry Chang Zhiming and others.

Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company was formally established in 2001. It was established after the merger of Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory and four steel companies in Qinxi Province. The Fang family obtained almost 59% of the shares.

shares, is the controlling shareholder. Currently, the annual steel production is almost 37.8 million tons. Among them, special steel and steel plates for cars account for 41% of its total output and contribute 73%.

The profit and tax can be said to be its flagship product.

At the beginning of the merger of the five companies, the total steel production of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company could reach approximately six to seven million tons, but the production capacity of the small blast furnaces under 100 cubic meters that were scheduled to be phased out was only about 160 tons.

million tons, plus the output of backward steelmaking blast furnaces, the production capacity to be eliminated has reached almost 2.5 million tons. After Fang Sheng took over the Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, he began to gradually eliminate these backward steelmaking blast furnaces.

production capacity, and new steelmaking blast furnaces have been launched. However, until now, the backward production capacity has been eliminated, but new blast furnaces are still under construction, so the steel production has naturally declined.

However, although the output has declined, the overall economic benefits have been significantly improved. Compared with before the establishment of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company, the four provincial steel companies all had profits of 7% to 17%.

Growth. The Jianlong Branch Plant in Weinan City is currently the best-operated plant of the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company, except for the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Plant. Its products are mainly steel plates for cars.

The user is Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd.

This is mainly because the Jianlong branch is the latest among the four steel companies to be completed and put into production, and its equipment is also considered the latest. After some technical transformation, it can be used to produce steel plates for cars, while the other

The equipment of the three companies is very backward and the production process is too old. Even if Fang Sheng wants to carry out technical transformation, there is not much room for improvement. At present, they are mainly still producing ordinary steel products. Fortunately, they have been rectified by Fang Sheng. These ordinary steel products

The products can also meet the purchasing standards of Longxing Construction Group, so there is no need to worry about sales.

The factory has made profits, its products have sales, a new blast furnace is under construction, and the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company is in an overall prosperous atmosphere.

However, Fang Mingyuan was not fooled by this appearance. Although Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company seems to be doing well now, in fact, there are many hidden dangers.

Although the Fang family obtained 59% of the shares and became the major shareholder of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company, since four of the five companies were formerly provincial enterprises, they had no relationship with the local government and the provincial government.

The government has countless connections. Moreover, the four companies have brought in a total of more than 23,000 employees. This number is almost seven or eight times the total number of employees of the Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory. In order to divert work, these redundant employees must be absorbed.

Fang Sheng has been racking his brains over the past two years to improve work efficiency for his employees. But even so, as of now, there are still 18,900 employees in the four branches. According to calculations by technical staff,

Even if all the newly built blast furnaces and production lines are put into operation, the four branches will only need to retain 10,000 employees, which is enough. It is precisely because of these extra employees that Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company has swallowed up a large number of employees.

should have profits, otherwise, the profits of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company will be even more impressive.

How to solve the job problems of these eight to nine thousand employees has become a big problem that troubles Fang Sheng.

Let them be laid off and diverted. Eighty-nine thousand people, maybe eighty-nine thousand families, the lives of tens of thousands of people are in turmoil. Fang Sheng was once an ordinary worker. Naturally, he understands how much impact such a result will have on ordinary families.

He couldn't bear it. Moreover, the local government tried its best to dissuade Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company from doing this. The re-employment of eight to nine thousand people was also a huge pressure for the governments in these areas.

But this problem must be solved after all, otherwise, huge profits will be "swallowed" by these workers every year, and Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company will not be able to talk about development!

Fang Mingyuan, Welf clan chiefs, and Milot walked in the front, accompanied by Qiao Limu, the director of the Jianlong branch, and Wu Yingxiong, the chief engineer, always answering the three's questions.

Li Guanjie, Chang Zhiming, and Lu Yiping are slightly behind, with a distance of three to five meters between them.

"Director Lu, do you know what HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. is?" Li Guanjie lowered his voice. Fang Mingyuan decided to visit Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company very hastily and did not say hello in advance. If Li Guanjie hadn't happened to be in Wei

Nan must have missed it too. But...as the actual controller of the Fang family, it is natural to come to the Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company controlled by the Fang family to inspect. But the person he was accompanying was named

What is the origin of Welf’s old foreign man? Li Guanjie has never heard of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

"Mr. Li, you have never heard of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., but have you heard of HSBC Hong Kong?" Lu Yiping also lowered his voice.

"HSBC Hong Kong, of course I have heard of it." Li Guanjie said immediately. Li Guanjie is a professional manager, hired by the Fang family from the south with a high salary. He is no stranger to Hong Kong. As for HSBC Hong Kong, then

However, it is a long-established bank in Hong Kong. It is also the largest registered bank in Hong Kong and one of the three major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong. It is a giant in Hong Kong's financial industry.

"HSBC Holdings Limited is the parent company of HSBC Hong Kong and holds 100% of the shares of HSBC Hong Kong!" Lu Yiping said in a low voice.

"Wow!" Li Guanjie couldn't help shouting. The background of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. is quite big.

"One of the top ten commercial banks in the world, with branches in many countries around the world, Mr. Welf is an important director on the board of directors of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.!" Chang Zhiming, director of the Department of Industry on the side, also added.

Li Guanjie was even more shocked and was speechless for a long time. Looking at his appearance, Lu Yiping and Chang Zhiming felt a little more balanced. When they first learned about this, they were no better than Li Guanjie.

Where to go.

An important director of one of the world's top ten commercial banks actually came to Qinxi Province without saying hello in advance! How could this not shock them, and at the same time, they also had a more realistic understanding of Fang Mingyuan's energy?

.

"Is this Mr. Welf going to invest in Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company?" This idea flashed through Li Guanjie's mind, but he immediately denied it. HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. is very successful in the global financial industry.

How could it come to Qinxi Province to invest in the steel industry when it is a prosperous bank that ranks among the top ten commercial banks? In Europe and the United States, steel companies are cutting production.

"So Mr. Fang plans to borrow from HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.?" Li Guanjie thought to himself, but after having three choices: Bank of Communications, Jimin Bank and Second Gulf Bank, is it necessary to add HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.?

"Mr. Welf, what do you think of the Jianlong Branch of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation?" Fang Mingyuan stood still in the shade and asked with a smile.

Patriarch Welf also stopped, looked back at the Jianlong branch factory, shook his head slightly and said, "Fang, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth!" Fang Mingyuan said without hesitation.

"Truth! Then I can only say that there is a huge gap between here and the world's first-class steel companies. Not to mention the environmental protection level here, not to mention the quality of the products here, as far as I can see at a glance, here

There are too many workers! If this is a German company, with the same scale, it only needs a few hundred workers, but here, there are at least a thousand people, right?" Chief Welf said, "People from China

There is abundant natural labor force, low wages for workers, and low environmental protection requirements, which ensures the profit margin of the company. However, I have to remind you that this situation cannot continue for a long time! One day

, you will find that according to your current production methods, the value of the products you create is far less than what you lose."

Qiao Limu and Wu Yingxiong's English proficiency was pretty good. They understood at least 70% of what Chief Welf said and couldn't help but blush.

They did not expect that the Jianlong Branch Factory in Qinxi Province, which they thought was not as good as the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory, would be so unbearable in the eyes of this foreigner! But they also

There is nothing to say, because they are not ordinary workers, and they still have some understanding of what the world's steel industry is like. The problems pointed out by Patriarch Welf do indeed exist.

"That's right!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Compared with first-class enterprises in European and American countries, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company does have many shortcomings, but the road must be walked step by step. If you don't learn to walk, you want to run away.

, all we have to do is stumble! The reason why German companies can achieve today's production efficiency is only after years of continuous development. Compared with developed countries, we are still very behind, so we copy their production standards and

At present, it is impossible in China. But we will continue to work hard in that direction."
