The new steel plant settled in Tangshan. Naturally, some are happy and some are sad. Fenglian City, Liao Province, which has been actively preparing for the settlement of Fangjia's new steel plant, is naturally hit hard. Many people in Liao Province are also hit.

people.

Although Liao Province contacted the Fang family a year ago, hoping to deepen cooperation with the Fang family, for this reason, Deng Zhong, the top leader of Liao Province, also personally inspected the Liao Province Steel Plant and had face-to-face communication with Fang Mingyuan. However,

In the following nearly a year, Liao Province's efforts to promote the merger and acquisition of domestic peers by Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Plant did not go smoothly and encountered many obstacles.

This is mainly because the domestic steel market was booming in 2003, and the profits earned by steel companies increased significantly. Those old companies that were originally struggling to survive suddenly seemed to have a second spring.

The banks that had been avoiding them swarmed around them like flies that had smelled the stench. There was a long queue of vehicles waiting to pick up goods at the door. The workers' wages were no longer in arrears, and the factory leaders also straightened their backs.

I feel confident to speak. Under this situation, both the company itself and the leaders and relevant departments of the province believe that the conditions offered by the Fang family are too harsh, and that the province will suffer too much if it agrees.

Therefore, although the Fang family also inspected several steel companies in Liao Province during this period of time, there was no substantial progress in corporate mergers and acquisitions.

But when the Liao Provincial Steel Plant and Tangshan City reached a formal intention to build a new steel plant, these officials in Liao Province suddenly realized that the Fang family did not need to hang themselves on this tree in Liao Province, and they also had a good reputation.

The conditions for building a factory are also in Yanxing Province in North China. Moreover, Yanxing Province also has a large number of old steel companies that are available for acquisition. This suddenly made them feel a sense of crisis.

A brand-new steel plant with an annual output of eight million tons of steel and whose main products are all best-selling products can bring huge tax revenue and many jobs to the local economy. How can we not let these things in Liao Province slip away like this?

Officials felt sad? So these people used various channels to poach the Liao Provincial Steel Plant and Tangshan City before reaching a final agreement and bring the new steel plant back to Liao Province. However, their approach was doomed.

It will only be wasted effort.

Among the officials in Liao Province, Deng Zhong was the most distressed. He couldn't help but remember that Fang Mingyuan had indeed said that if the merger and acquisition of the Liao Province Steel Plant did not go smoothly, Fang would not start a new steel plant project in Liao Province.

The family gave Liao Province nearly a year, but it was obvious that Liao Province did not seize this opportunity! A new steel plant capable of producing marine steel plates and steel plates for cars would be of great benefit to the existing shipbuilding companies and car companies in Liao Province.

It is undoubtedly a powerful tool to reduce costs, but unfortunately, it ended up being a success for Tangshan City.

Deng Zhong contacted Fang Mingyuan as soon as possible, hoping to have another interview. Since he had missed the new steel plant, he did not want Liao Province to miss another opportunity. The hot steel market cannot continue forever, and wait until the market ebbs.

What should these steel companies in the province do after that? But to Deng Zhong's disappointment, Fang Mingyuan was no longer in Tangshan and had gone south to Hong Kong.

Outside the busy Victoria Harbor area of ​​Hong Kong, stands the Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd., a behemoth that is regarded as the top shipping company in Hong Kong's shipping industry and even the entire Asian shipping industry. It has a newly built 37-story office building.

, very eye-catching. Guo's Shipping Group Company has been expanding its fleet at an eye-catching speed in the past many years. Now, whether it is an oil tanker fleet, a container fleet, or a bulk cargo fleet.

The scale is quite astonishing.

In recent years, Guo's Shipping Group has vigorously developed special ships for iron ore transportation and invested in routes from Australia and Brazil to China. And the facts have proved that this choice of Guo's Shipping Group is undoubtedly

Yes, China's strong demand for iron ore makes these special iron ore transport ships of Guo's Shipping Group want to fly between the two places. The heavy business has also pushed up the shipping costs of iron ore.

This makes the profits earned by Kuok Shipping Group Company even more impressive. Since Kuok Shipping Group Company has now withdrawn from the stock market, it naturally does not need to announce its performance to the outside world. Therefore, its actual profit status, for ordinary people, is

It has become a secret. But those who are interested can see from the rising salaries of Guo's Shipping Group employees in recent years that the current operating conditions of Guo's Shipping Group are very satisfactory.

"Sister Qiu Xia, I have worked hard for you during this period!" Fang Mingyuan said sincerely. For most of this year, he had to stay in the mainland and Qinxi Province due to the epidemic. After the epidemic was lifted, he ran around again.

Yes, although the important decisions of Guo's Shipping Group Company still come from him, most of the daily affairs are left to the management of Guo's Shipping Group Company and Yu Qiuxia.

"It's not hard work, but I summoned you to Hong Kong at this time. I hope I won't miss your wedding." Yu Qiuxia said with a sweet smile. Fang Mingyuan was on the Fang family's private island in Australia on January 1, 2004.

The Guo family has naturally known about Fang Mingyuan's wedding for a long time, and this time, Fang Mingyuan also formally sent invitations to everyone in the Guo family.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little hot in his cheeks. Yu Qiuxia and the others didn't know how many brides there were at their wedding.

"It's a pity Jiayi, and Miss Li next to you." Yu Qiuxia sighed softly. She was also here, so why didn't she understand the thoughts of Zheng Jiayi and Li Xintong. But she also admired Fang Mingyuan, not just anyone.

Everyone can ignore the benefits brought by marriage. Compared with the benefits Zheng Jiayi and Li Xintong can bring to the Fang family and Fang Mingyuan, both Zhao Ya and Feng Qian can be said to be far inferior. But Fang Mingyuan is still there.

On this point, it seems that he has never hesitated.

"Haha." What else could Fang Mingyuan say besides a dry laugh?

"Sister Qiu Xia, do you think Thailand Precitous Shipping Company is worth acquiring for us?" Fang Mingyuan patted the document in his hand and asked. Thailand Precitous Shipping Company, the second largest shipping company in Thailand, was founded in 1974.

A shipping company listed in Thailand with Singapore as its operating center and transshipment base. Its fleet is mainly container ships and bulk carriers, with a total of 33 ships, mainly sailing between more than 30 ports in Southeast Asia. But recently

In two years, its business has also expanded to the southern coastal areas of China. A month ago, the founder of Precitous Shipping Company, Basel Gasesili, passed away. His heirs had no intention of continuing to run the company, so they intended to transfer 71% of the company to

The news of the equity transfer came out a week ago, attracting the attention of many shipping companies in Thailand and internationally. Guo's Shipping Group, which is in a period of rapid expansion, will naturally attach great importance to this news. But this is not Yu Qiu

The main reason for recalling Fang Mingyuan from Tangshan City to Hong Kong.

Yu Qiuxia smiled. Since Fang Mingyuan was unwilling to continue that topic, she naturally would not force others to continue.

"Ming Yuan, let's put aside the equity issue of Precitous Shipping Company for now. We want you to return to Hong Kong this time mainly because we all want to hear what you think about Kwai Tsing Container Terminal 10?"

"Pier 10? Isn't there only nine Kwai Tsing container terminals?" Fang Mingyuan said in surprise. Hong Kong Port is one of the busiest and most efficient international container ports in the world, and is also a major hub port in the global supply chain. Currently, there are seventy

Multiple international liners provide approximately 500 container liner services every week, connecting Hong Kong with hundreds of destinations around the world. Currently, the container throughput of Hong Kong Port ranks first in the world!

Kwai Tsing Container Terminal has a total of nine container terminals, covering an area of ​​nearly 300 hectares, providing 24 berths with a total of more than 7,800 meters of deep-water coastline, and can berth the largest container ships in the world. The terminal has a total annual total

The processing capacity can reach 18 million standard container units. Its container throughput can account for about 70% of the container throughput of Hong Kong Port! Among these nine container terminals, Kuok Shipping Group Company accounts for

Three of them were built, including Pier 9, which was built by Kuok Shipping Group Company in Tsing Yi in 1998 and was just launched this year. When will Pier 10 be built?

"The government plans to build Container Terminal No. 10 on reclamation on the southwest coast of Tsing Yi Island. It is expected that the total area will reach 310 hectares. In the future, the terminal will be able to operate around the clock and provide eight container terminals of no less than 400 meters.

Boat berths. And the government has promised to provide access to Route 3 and Route 8 and the proposed Tsing Yi to Lantau Link Road." Yu Qiuxia said, "Do you think we need to fight for its development and operation rights?

!”

"Reclamation is needed?" Fang Mingyuan frowned. Hong Kong's container transportation industry is very prosperous. If a new container terminal can be built, it is of course a good thing. However, reclamation to build a terminal will inevitably affect the local water quality, so that

It will affect the local fishery. This will cause a lot of trouble. Hong Kong's new airport was built on land reclamation, and there is a bad precedent in this regard. In this case, although the Hong Kong government has spread the word now, it will not be possible tomorrow.

If it can be officially approved in 2010, it will be very soon. But if it is really put into use, it will have to be at least around 10 years ago.

"Well, not only does it require reclamation, there are many oil depots and shipyards on the land there, which may be contaminated by heavy metals. Therefore, if the construction of Pier 10 is to be carried out, a large-scale decontamination project will also be required." Yu Qiu.
