Chapter 294: Building a Factory and Participating in Shares

If oil is the blood of a country's industrialization, then steel is undoubtedly the backbone of a country's industrialization! However, the petroleum, petrochemical and steel smelting industries are standard "high energy consumption, high pollution" industries. In fact, the process of China's rapid industrialization has also

This is the process of continuous expansion of China's steel industry.

In modern times, China's steel production accounted for a pitifully small share of the world's steel production. It was not until the founding of the Republic and with the assistance of the Soviet Union that its own modern steel industry was officially established. However, before the reform and opening up, China's steel production

The pace of development was not fast. In 1980, China's crude steel output was less than 40 million tons, less than one-third of that of Japan and the United States.

After the reform and opening up, China's steel output has been growing by leaps and bounds along with the rapid development of China's economy. In just ten years, China's crude steel output has increased significantly. In the previous life, by

Two thousand years later, China's crude steel output has exceeded the 500 million tons mark, far exceeding all countries in the world. However, the disadvantages brought about by this leap-forward growth are becoming more and more obvious.

First of all, the domestic supply of iron ore is insufficient and a large amount of iron ore needs to be imported. Iron ore exporting countries such as Brazil and Australia have taken the opportunity to make huge profits, and even shipping companies have repeatedly raised prices. China only spends on this item every year.

, the foreign exchange spent would be tens of billions of dollars; secondly, although Chinese steel companies produce a lot of crude steel, the output of high-end steel products is pitiful. For example, the steel required for the production of automobiles increases every year.

A large amount of steel needs to be imported from abroad. There is even a situation where crude steel is purchased from China, further refined and then sold back to China. Naturally, knowledgeable people among the Chinese people are deeply saddened by such a result.

Since his rebirth, Fang Mingyuan has been thinking about how to get involved in the steel industry. Even if he cannot change the general environment, as long as he can make some changes, it is not in vain that God has given him such an opportunity. So he started from Albed Steel

The company exchanged technology from the company and supported his father in contracting the workshop of the Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory. However, in China in the 1990s, the steel industry was still an industry monopolized by state-owned enterprises. On the 9.6 million square kilometers of land, private

It can be said that all steel companies are still small-scale projects and have not become a reality at all. Therefore, Fan Mingyuan can only wait for the country to open up the steel industry.

Although private capital is not allowed to enter the steel industry domestically, there is no such restriction abroad. So Fang Mingyuan thought of a curved way to build a factory. He purchased a small steelmaking plant in Japan in the name of Aso Kyousuki, and then borrowed money from the Soviet Union

During the period before and after the disintegration of Russia, when Russia was in chaos, we purchased mineral development rights in Russia, first transported these minerals to Japan, maintained the normal operation of the steelmaking plant, and at the same time recruited people domestically to learn technology and management in the steelmaking plant.

.After everything is on track, once the country allows private capital to enter the steel industry, then the steelmaking plants will be moved back to the country.

This time, he wanted to seize the opportunity before the first major depreciation of the Soviet ruble and squander the huge amount of rubles loaned out by Aso Kasuki in the Soviet Union. Buying the mining rights of mineral deposits is undoubtedly the fastest way to spend it. If it is said,

If possible, he also wants to buy the oil fields in Siberia. As for those huge ruble loans, in a few years, after Russia has exchanged the old and new rubles several times, it will become a negligible amount of money when it is repaid. This

Tell me to take your money and buy your mine!

Luo Jin waved his hand and drove Khodorkovsky aside. Then Fang Mingyuan said seriously: "Brother Fang, are you planning to buy a mine in the Soviet Union? You should think twice before doing this.

The corruption and incompetence of the current domestic government in the Soviet Union is even worse than ours. We are no better than countries like the United States and Britain. Don’t see the Soviets fawning over us now. They may despise us in their hearts. These old fools are stealing our money.

, is also ruthless. When the time comes, you must not waste this money." He has been in the three northeastern provinces for a long time, so he naturally understands the current domestic situation of the Soviet Union very clearly.

Fang Mingyuan smiled. Of course Luo Jin's words were well-intentioned, but how could Fang Mingyuan not think that this money would of course enter Russia in the name of Japanese or American capital in the future. As long as the actual equity was in his hands,

It doesn’t always matter who is named. Moreover, the more corrupt and incompetent the Soviet Union is, the more opportunities there will be to profit from it. "Brother Luo, I know all the risks you mentioned."

After hearing what Fang Mingyuan said, Luo Jin naturally couldn't persuade him any more.

"Brother, now you can always tell me which business is the most profitable here." Wu Wei said impatiently.

"Here, as long as you have connections and channels, you can make money in anything you do! Even selling towels can make you a lot of money!" Luo Jin pointed at the city down the mountain and said, "In the past few years, I

I have made some connections here and learned about the situation in the Soviet Union. I just realized that the life of these old people is hard! Do you know how poor the products in their stores are?"

"To what extent? It can't be worse than before our reform and opening up." Wu Wei said with some disbelief. After all, the Soviet Union is the only superpower in the world that can compete with the United States. It possesses nuclear weapons, artificial satellites, spaceships, aircraft carriers, etc.

Super killer weapon, no matter how bad the light industrial products are, they cannot be inferior to China before the reform and opening up.

"Hey, you're right!" Luo Jin said with a smile, "Soviet people's living standards are polarized. Their ownership rates of things like refrigerators, TVs, and cars are not even lower than those in the United States. For cities,

For residents, they are hardly considered luxuries, but in terms of light industrial products and food, their quality and quantity are still very lacking. I have been to several cities in the Soviet Union, and there, you don’t have to worry about it.

You’re hungry, but there are always just a few kinds of goods in the store. Apart from bread, mashed potatoes, and sausages, which are all in sufficient supply, it’s not easy if you want to eat something else.”

Wu Wei grinned. One meal of mashed potato bread and the next meal of mashed potato bread. Wouldn't it be like the winter in the north of China, where we competed with potatoes, cabbage, and carrots every day?

"Although there are many opportunities to make money, it is not easy to make a deal. This is mainly because neither we nor the Soviets have enough U.S. dollars, and we do not recognize the other party's currency, so we can only make

Barter transactions. Sometimes, it takes several turns to make a deal. My idea is that a lumber factory can be built here, and the light industrial products shipped from the country can be traded here directly.

We buy logs and transport them back, then cut them into lumber and transport it back to China by waterway. In the past two years, I feel that the domestic furniture market has shown signs of becoming increasingly prosperous. Lao Maozi's logs are of good quality and low price, so they should not worry about sales.

." Luo Jin glanced at Fang Mingyuan and saw that he didn't show any strange expression, and then continued, "If Brother Wu is interested, we can divide labor and cooperate. I am familiar with this place. I will be responsible for the establishment of the lumber factory and the Northeast.

For the supply and sales of goods within the three provinces, Wu Laodi can be responsible for the supply and timber sales outside the three northeastern provinces."

Wu Wei also looked at Fang Mingyuan. In his opinion, it is most appropriate to leave the next job of finding supply sources and lumber sales to Fang Mingyuan. Carrefour supermarkets have purchasing staff all over the country, and light industrial products are originally sold in supermarkets.

Why do you need to go to great lengths to find the main products? And the larger the purchase, the lower the purchase price will be, right?

"Young Master Fang..." Wu Wei hesitated and said, "What do you think of Brother Luo's idea?"

How could Fang Mingyuan fail to see Wu Wei's little thought? Let's face it, such a small investment is no longer attractive to him, but Luo Jin's idea has great operational potential.

Sex. With the rise of the domestic real estate industry in the future, the furniture market will naturally become popular. The demand for logs has always been strong. It can be foreseen that as long as there are no major mistakes in Luo Jin's business process, Luo Jin will be prosperous in the next 20 years.

Profit for the year is a sure thing.

Luo Jin also looked at Fang Mingyuan nervously. He also understood Wu Wei's intention. If Fang Mingyuan was also involved, he would undoubtedly be able to save a lot of costs and obtain greater benefits for the organization of supply sources and final sales in this plan.

But if Fang Mingyuan really joins the stock market, with his abundant capital, how much say will he ultimately have in the factory? Wu Wei doesn't care, as long as he gets dividends, he doesn't want to be a shareholder with a name but no power. Luo Jin

It's a dilemma.

Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Luo's idea is very good. I think there is no problem in making a profit. If you two welcome it, can I also participate in a few shares?" This Luo Jin Fang Mingyuan is very interested.

, now that he has a shortage of talents, even if he has such an idea, no one is going to implement it. If he can support Luo Jin and others, make this industry bigger and stronger, and cut down less forests in the country in the future, it will be a merit.

.

"Of course you are welcome!" Luo Jin said bravely. To say he was not welcome would be to offend others. Although Wu Wei had not told him about Fang Mingyuan's political connections, a dignified Wu Yamen, in the past few days, had been

Luo Jin saw the appearance of Fang Mingyuan in front of him and remembered it in his heart. Compared with Wuwei, his background was just between the two, so naturally he did not dare to offend Fang Mingyuan.

"But I still have a few conditions! If both brothers can agree, I will agree to invest!"
