Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan sat on the balcony, looking at Tokyo Bay not far away. The strong intention of JFE Steel Co., Ltd. to cooperate was somewhat beyond his expectation. In any case, it is also the second largest steel company in Japan. In the global steel industry,

It is also ranked high. [ads: This website has a new URL, shorthand method:,] For steel companies, the output of steel is certainly important, but the company's profit margin is undoubtedly more important. China's steel companies, in

Under the favorable conditions of low labor and low environmental protection costs, the profit margin is far behind those of overseas steel giants.

Although Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. and Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. can be regarded as first-class companies in China, they are not enough when looking at the world. In fact, let alone Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. and Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd.

Among all the steel companies in China, the one that can truly be called a first-class steel company is probably Heibao Steel Group, which can barely make it into the list.

Although in the eyes of many domestic steel companies, as private enterprises, Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company and Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company are already quite outstanding, but Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company and Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company have to

There is still a long way to go to become a world-class steel company. The lack of mid-to-high-end products and not enough competitive products have always been a headache for Fang Mingyuan.

In the future, the global steel industry will move towards a comprehensive surplus, and China, especially the hardest-hit areas, will face this inevitable dilemma. Not only the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute, but also the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Corporation's own technology research and development institutions are also constantly

Increase the development of new technologies and new products, increase the output of mid-to-high-end products, and lay a better foundation for enhancing the market competitiveness of products and improving corporate efficiency. Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Corporation uses technology licensing and technology research and development every year.

The funds for equipment renovation and equipment modification amount to more than one billion yuan. It can be said that the profits earned by Liao Iron and Steel Group Corporation over the years, in addition to being used to acquire companies and expand the scale of the company, are basically used here to provide shareholders with

The dividends can only be described as a win or a loss.

The huge investment has naturally brought huge returns to the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company. Today, the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company has more than 8,000 authorized patents, including more than 2,000 invention patents, and a number of major innovation achievements have won national and provincial awards.

City and industry commendations. But Fang Mingyuan knew very well that these patented inventions were nothing compared to these giants, especially the lack of core patented technologies with strategic significance that could stand at the forefront of the industry.

If Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. and Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. just want to be successful in the country, then it makes sense to do this. With a complete upstream and downstream industrial chain, they can just follow the trend of world steel.

It would be nice to update industrial technology. But if they want to perform on the world stage, then this is far from enough! Fang Mingyuan has been constantly acquiring technology, that is, so that these domestic R&D personnel can be ahead of their predecessors.

On the shoulders of others, we need to find our own technological development system! However, the gap between the technological development of the domestic steel industry and the international top technology cannot be made up by just trying to make it up. It requires not only massive capital investment, but also time.

, so it is useless for Fang Mingyuan to be anxious. All he has to do is ensure that he has enough funds to invest and wait.

However, JFE Steel Co., Ltd. took the initiative to jump in front of him, which made Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be moved! JFE Steel Co., Ltd., the second largest steel company in Japan, is also a top-ranked company in the world's steel industry. If you look at it from its

The predecessors, Nippon Steel Pipe and Kawasaki Steel, have been established for more than a hundred years, and have accumulated a wealth of technology that no one can underestimate. Even its current mainstream technology ranks among the best in the world.

In terms of national sentiment, Fang Mingyuan has no favorable impression of Japan at all, but he has never looked down upon Japan. A country with a land area of ​​less than 400,000 square kilometers and a shortage of various resources basically relies on overseas imports, but it can feed 120 million people.

With a population of 10,000, it has maintained its status as the world's second largest economic power for many years. From this point of view, the Japanese do have a proud capital! It is unimaginable that Japan can have even a country that is not rich in resources.

With one million square kilometers of land, will it pose a fundamental threat to the United States' world status?

Japan is China's rising rival. Fang Mingyuan has never doubted this, and because it is a rival, it is more necessary to understand the other party, learn the advantages from the other party, and learn skills from the foreigners to defeat the foreigners. Our ancestors have long

I have already said it. Therefore, he has never been opposed to cooperation with Japanese companies. Although the Japanese have gained benefits through cooperation, as long as the benefits obtained by the other side are more valuable and more valuable, then this cooperation is

Favorable. This time jfe actively seeks cooperation, Fang Mingyuan will of course actively promote it, and he also intends to get more things from jfe.

For example, when it comes to opening up the passage from Binshui City to Vladivostok City and Nakhodka, he remembers that the construction of Nakhodka Port had the shadow of Japanese companies behind it, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, coupled with the long-term economic downturn in Russia, and

The lifting of the ban on foreign merchant ships in Vladivostok has meant that the cargo handling capacity of Nakhodka Port has not been fully utilized. If JFE can be persuaded to join in and the "three parties" promote it, it will undoubtedly be better than doing it alone.

, more effective!

Moreover, he believed that JFE Company would definitely be tempted by this proposal.

"What? Are you still thinking about how to steal technology from JFE?" Lin Lian walked out of the house, put a coat on him and said, "The weather is already very cold, and this is the beach, so you can

Take care of yourself."

Fang Mingyuan took her hand, asked her to sit down next to him, put his arms around her waist and said, "Have the children fallen asleep? You have worked hard these days."

"It's not too hard. Most of the work is still done by Rongrong, and I didn't take over it. As for the child, Guangli takes care of it more often." Lin Lian snuggled into his arms and said softly, "It's you.

, you are busy all day long, running here and there, pay more attention to your body, don't get too tired. Today, the Fang family is no longer something you can support alone. Some things can be left to others.

alright."

"Didn't I leave everything to you?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Didn't you all do a good job too? Aren't Xiangyue and your sisters both entitled to the title of Queen of the Business World?"

Lin Lian rolled her eyes at him and said: "Men conquer the world. Women conquer men. Do you plan to conquer women and then let your women conquer the world? Moreover, now is Japan, Russia and Hong Kong. In the future,

Who are you going to send to Europe and Australia? Or do you have a new assistant candidate?"

Fang Mingyuan laughed dumbly, and couldn't help but tighten his arms around Lin Lian's waist and said: "Now that I am severely divided and unable to take care of you sisters, if I continue to expand the harem, I will be asking for trouble.

Alas, in the final analysis, there are still not enough talents in the family, and these businesses are too important. I am really worried that there is no one I can trust to take charge of them." Except for a few people, Fang Mingyuan's overseas assets are not owned by anyone.

It can be calculated clearly. On the one hand, this is to prevent anyone from being jealous and thinking about it. This is not only a domestic but also an international tradition. On the other hand, it is also a trump card in the hand, which may be life-saving money or life-saving money at some point.

It is a fatal blow to the opponent.

Lin Lian sighed softly. This is indeed a real problem. The Fang family's background is too weak and there are not many people. Among Fang Mingyuan's generation, except for himself, the rest are still relatively young, let alone

The ability to stand on their own was what Aso Xiangyue and her sisters brought out when they first took over. Fang Mingyuan and Yu Qiuxia also brought it out. Moreover, at that time, the Fang family's assets in Russia and Japan were far from as huge as they are now. And professional

Managers can be used to be responsible for the operation of specific enterprises, but secrets like those at the core of the Fang family are completely inappropriate. In the final analysis, Fang Mingyuan has developed too fast over the years, and others are rushing to catch up.

I can't keep up with him.

"Mingyuan, Rongrong is not young anymore, maybe next year. Don't drag her around." Lin Lian said softly.

"Well, when you have more free time, you can take over the work in her hands." Fang Mingyuan nodded.

"Fang Jun wants to establish a joint research institution with us in China? And transfer some environmental protection technologies?" Yuriko Yamaguchi exclaimed in surprise. As far as she knows, Chinese companies have not always tried every means to reduce or even avoid environmental protection.

Investment in this area? Even many large state-owned enterprises are unwilling to invest in this area.

"Yes, Fang Jun made it very clear that he hopes to get our environmental protection technology to improve the pollution problems caused by his enterprises in production." Naoshi Kamikuni said seriously, "Moreover, both of us will establish a joint venture in China in the future.

As a joint research institution, Fang Jun also requested that the by-products generated during the steelmaking process should be focused on energy conservation and consumption reduction, and environmental protection. Of course, if we agree to expand the direction of research, Fang Jun would also welcome it.

"

Nakatani Mingyi and others looked at each other for a few times. Nakatani Mingyi pondered for a moment and said: "Fang Jun is willing to increase investment in protecting the environment. This is a good thing. China's pollution problem is indeed getting more and more serious. Our country

Personnel stationed in China have also confirmed this. Our country is separated from China across the sea, and sometimes we suffer greatly from it."

Yuriko Tani and Nakata Nakahiko both nodded. Japan and China are each other's important trading partners, and a large number of Japanese-funded companies have entered China. Therefore, the number of Japanese living and working in China is also quite large today.

These people have long reported to the country the increasingly serious environmental pollution in China. Moreover, many Japanese who visit and travel to China are also deeply impressed by this. Heavy industry, including the steel industry, is inherently a

Highly polluting industries without complete environmental protection facilities will cause serious pollution to the atmosphere, land and water resources. Developed countries are basically aware of this - Japan also experienced this in the past.

It was the serious consequences of environmental pollution in those years that made Japan, from the government to the people, attach great importance to the issue of environmental pollution. Enterprises also made great efforts to reduce the discharge of waste gas, waste water and waste residue during the production process.

!

"President, Director Gu, and Director Nakata, I personally think that we should support Fang Jun's request." Naozhi Shangguo said, "First, China's environmental pollution, especially air pollution, still has a big impact on our country. Helping my country is helping ourselves. Second, the exports of China's steel industry have been expanding in recent years. The fundamental reason is that their steel products are cheap. Among them, China's steel companies have invested in environmental protection. Too little is undoubtedly a very important reason. If we can promote China's domestic steel industry to pay attention to environmental protection investment through Fang Jun's companies, then their production costs will inevitably increase a lot, which is also a good thing!
