Although Fang Mingyuan said there was no need to send him away, Altorov still sent him to the elevator before returning to his room.

After walking out of Tongyi Shilla Hotel and getting in the car, Fang Mingyuan took out the note from his pocket. Fang Mingyuan glanced at it and saw a set of words written on it in English. Although the first few words were a bit unfamiliar to Fang Mingyuan.

, but he knew the words "steel plant" and "privatization" at the end!

Privatizing the steel plant? Fang Mingyuan's eyes immediately lit up. Aso Xiangyue once mentioned to him that as an important republic of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine not only has unique agricultural production conditions, but also has a very strong industrial foundation and research and development.

ability.

During the period of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine became an important industrial region of the Soviet Union due to its huge industrial scale and complete categories. For example, the blast furnace steelmaking equipment produced by Ukraine accounted for more than 40% of the total output of the Soviet Union, and its televisions

Its output accounts for 37% of the entire Soviet Union's output, and its livestock and feed production machinery and excavators account for nearly one-third of the entire Soviet Union's output!

Ukraine's military production and aerospace industry are also very developed. For example, it has the Dnipropetrovsk Southern Machinery Manufacturing Plant, which manufactures SS-19 and SS-24 intercontinental missiles, and the Antonov Aircraft Design Institute, which produces the "An" series.

, the Nikolaev Black Sea Shipyard, which can build aircraft carriers, and the Ukrainian aerospace enterprise Southern Machinery Plant, which has developed and produced several generations of new launch vehicles and space satellites, are world-famous design and production units. They employ more than one million people.

The products are exported to many foreign countries and enjoy a high reputation internationally.

Ukraine's steel industry, relying on its abundant reserves of coking coal, iron ore, manganese ore and other auxiliary raw materials, has become the second largest steel producer among the many republics in the former Soviet Union. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union

, Ukraine’s annual iron ore output accounts for nearly half of the former Soviet Union’s output, and its steel output exceeds 50 million tons, accounting for more than one-third of the total steel output of the Soviet Union!

Today, although Ukraine's steel industry has fallen into decline, its steel production still ranks seventh in the world, its iron ore production also ranks fifth in the world, and it also occupies a tenth share among the CIS countries.

It has an important position. The iron ore it produces accounts for 50% of the total output of the CIS countries, and the coke accounts for more than 45%...

Aso Xiangyue once discussed with Fang Mingyuan. If Fang Mingyuan intends to develop in the steel industry, she is quite optimistic about the Ukrainian steel industry. After mastering the steel industry in Ukraine and Russia, it can be said that these franchises in the former Soviet Union

The Republic's steel needs were almost under control. Although Fang Mingyuan was a little moved, he did not immediately agree to Aso's idea and only agreed to her small test in the Ukrainian steel industry.

In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan was not so clear about the development process of Ukraine. After all, there is a behemoth like Russia. Who would have noticed that Ukraine is located in Central Asia and does not border China. If it were not for the two countries, there would still be many conflicts in the military field.

With little cooperation, Ukraine, like other countries in the CIS, cannot leave a deep impression on Fang Mingyuan's mind.

If we want to invest in industries on a large scale, one very important thing is that the local political situation must be stable. Is the political situation in Ukraine stable? Fang Mingyuan was not so impressed, but he remembered that he had seen Ukraine somewhere.

There was a sexual revolution. However, he seemed to have seen somewhere that after the sexual revolution, the Ukrainian government sold many important technologies to China, which seemed to have caused protests from Russia. It seems that this

Revolution doesn't seem like a bad thing?

"What is this?" Zhao Ya came over and asked in surprise. From the moment he got in the car, Fang Mingyuan held a piece of paper and looked at it, as if there was a picture of a peerless beauty on it.

"What Congressman Artorov thrust into my hand before leaving the house seems to be some steel plant in Ukraine that is going to be privatized. I want them to check which Ukrainian steel company this is." Fang Mingyuan put the note on Zhao

In elegant hands.

"Privatization of steel plants?" Zhao Yali was also delighted. Fang Mingyuan has been privately inspecting steel companies in Liao Province and Tangshan for a period of time, but these existing companies always have deficiencies in all aspects. Fang Mingyuan

Those he likes either don't sell or are not suitable to buy, and those who are willing to sell, Fang Mingyuan doesn't like. He wants to expand production capacity for the future upgrade of Liao Provincial Steel Plant to Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group, not to wipe the butt of these officials.

Every good company has been hollowed out by them, leaving behind an empty shell and a bunch of employees facing layoffs. Moreover, the scale of the factory is not large, but the number of employees is a headache.

It is precisely because of these reasons, coupled with the rampant domestic epidemic in the first half of the year, that the Fang family's progress in this area has been very slow, and there has been no substantial progress so far. In contrast, Moonlight Porcelain Co., Ltd. and Tangshan

The negotiation process has been relatively smooth, and now we have entered into negotiations on core issues.

"Huh..." Councilor Altorov breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the hotel room. The work has been done. He is now waiting for when Fang Mingyuan will see him again.

What he wrote on the note was the privatization of the Krisvorog State Steel Plant. The Krisvorog State Steel Plant is the largest steel company in Ukraine and has a long history of almost seventy years. Last year, it

Its annual steel output is 6.3 million tons, ranking 30th on the list of the world's 100 largest steel companies. It can be said to be the core enterprise of Ukraine's steel industry.

The Krisvorog State Steel Plant is currently a state-owned enterprise in Ukraine. However, due to the slowdown in global economic growth and the continued economic downturn in major steel consuming countries, including Japan and other European and American developed countries, in the past two years,

In the world steel market, the demand for steel is declining day by day, and sales have dropped sharply. In 2002, the world produced a total of about one billion tons of steel, but the market demand was only 870 million tons, which reduced the demand for steel.

Inventories have increased significantly and prices have dropped to the lowest point in the past two decades. This international situation has forced the world's major steel producing countries to reduce production. The consequence of overproduction is that market competition will become more intense!

In market competition, price war is always one of the things that no one can ignore, and it is also a very effective choice. However, price war will also bring huge side effects, that is, in order to protect their own steel companies and markets, many countries will start

anti-dumping procedures and imposing high tariffs.

The protective steel import tariff launched by the U.S. government in 2001 and maintained to this day is a typical example! The 8% to 30% surtax is very important to Ukrainian steel companies.

It's like adding insult to injury! According to Ukrainian government statistics, this decision by the United States will cause an annual loss of nearly 300 million U.S. dollars to Ukraine's steel product exports!

The Russian government also decided to implement an annual quota system for Ukrainian steel pipe exports in 2001. The quota that year was 720,000 tons, which was reduced to 530,000 tons in 2002, and this year it is even more

It was reduced to 480,000 tons! At the same time, the Russian government also conducted an anti-dumping investigation into the galvanized iron sheets and steel bars exported from Ukraine to Russia. To this end, the Russian State Duma also specially reviewed and formulated a special bill on anti-dumping and compensation for imported goods.

Even the Chinese government announced at the beginning of this year that it would conduct an anti-dumping investigation into Ukraine’s cold-rolled steel plates exported to China! This aroused great concern from the Ukrainian government, because in the international trade between China and Ukraine, steel products accounted for a large proportion of the year.

Half of the trade volume! This time the Ukrainian Prime Minister visits China, this issue is also one of the important agendas - the Ukrainian side hopes to resolve this dispute through bilateral consultations.

The export of steel products is an important source of foreign exchange for Ukraine. Sixty to seventy percent of Ukraine's steel products are exported abroad every year, accounting for nearly fifty percent of Ukraine's total foreign exports! Export channels are serious

The obstruction caused a serious blow to Ukrainian steel companies. These domestic steel companies generally suffered large-scale losses, which in turn caused the coal industry, mining and other industries to also fall into trouble. As the largest in the country, it is also a historical

Naturally, the oldest state steel plant in Klisvorog could not escape the bad luck.

In view of this situation, coupled with the poor financial situation of the Ukrainian government, various factions within the Ukrainian government have now made a decision to privatize the Klisvorog State Steel Plant, thus getting rid of this heavy burden and at the same time gaining access to

A sum of money will be used to replenish the empty national treasury. This decision, if there are no surprises, will be officially announced within one to two months.

The Krisvorog State Steel Plant is a piece of fat that is coveted by many people inside and outside Ukraine. However, although the Krisvorog State Steel Plant has a lot of aging equipment and its technology has lagged behind the world level,

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its value is still over one billion U.S. dollars. It can be said that there are only a handful of domestic companies that can swallow it up.

Altorov also suddenly thought, would Fang Mingyuan be interested in it? As far as he knew, the Fang family has two large-scale steel companies in China, and the total steel output even ranks first in the country.

.Moreover, Aso Kagetsu has also invested in the famous New Lippetok Steel Company in Russia. How can he have no idea about a steel company with an annual steel output of more than 6 million tons? (To be continued...)
