Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 20 Meeting Lu Shan again

Shortly after He Jun and the others went upstairs, Fang Mingyuan and Mei Yuanwu also came upstairs. Chen Zhong stayed below to deal with Wu Weiguo and the others. After entering the box, Zhao Ya and the others had already ordered the dishes and were waiting for them to come up. For

Chai Jingyu complained about their delay in arriving.

"Mingyuan, Brother Jun is from the city police?" Mei Yuanwu asked during the meal.

"Well, the municipal police chief is in charge of criminal proceedings. What's wrong? Do you want to help him in his career?" Fang Mingyuan said with a half-smile. The main strength of the Mei family is in the military, and there are not many people in the officialdom.

, this is what he knows.

"Then you think too highly of me, but..." Mei Yuanwu cooed at Chai Jingyu and said in a low voice, "You have to go to the Chai family for this. Zuo Dongsheng, the chief prosecutor of the capital city, is Grandpa Chai.

The former secretary."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel slightly moved. This was something he didn't know. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current governor. Zuo Dongsheng is both the county magistrate and the current governor. If he is willing to help He Jun, He Jun can at least

I struggled for seven or eight years.

Although some of Fang Mingyuan's cousins ​​were not successful in their previous lives, there were also some who had real talents. He Jun was undoubtedly one of them.

It's just that his aunt and uncle have always been unwilling to accept his help easily, but chose to develop on their own. This has resulted in Fang Mingyuan's maternal side of the family, and today's social status is still low. Today, since we met

Of course, Fang Mingyuan didn't mind and gave his cousin a hand. In his previous life, He Jun eventually became the deputy prosecutor of the capital police station and the prosecutor general of the district police station. In this life, what can he achieve?

Fang Mingyuan was still looking forward to such a height.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan's slightly happy face, Mei Yuanwu immediately patted his chest and promised that he would talk to Chai Jingyu about this and he would definitely help He Jun.

"What are you two talking about?" Chai Jingyu noticed the glances the two of them cast from time to time and said with some surprise.

"It's nothing, just chat." Since someone is willing to do it for him, Fang Mingyuan will naturally not mention this matter to Chai Jingyu himself. Anyway, with his relationship with the Chai family, the Chai family must give it to him with such a simple effort.

.

"Hey, Mingyuan, let me ask you, are the major steel companies in the world now owned by the United States, Japan and the European Union? If the European Union doesn't care about them, why can Japan, which is short of resources, become a world-renowned steel producer?

And it surpasses the United States in many aspects? Can our country's steel industry copy the Japanese model?" Chai Jingyu asked with curious eyes blinking.

This is not an easy question to answer. Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time before saying: "The reason why Japan was able to become a major steel producer in the world after the war is of course due to many reasons. First of all, before World War II, Japan was very strong in the steel industry.

It already had quite strong capital. Although Japan's steel industry suffered heavy losses due to Allied bombing during World War II, the foundation was still there, so it recovered quickly after the war. Secondly, Japan's post-war

For more than 20 years, it has always had a low-wage advantage over the United States. Especially after the Second World War, the yen plummeted, and the average salary of Japanese employees was one-quarter of that in the United States. This advantage was used by Japanese steel companies

Fully realize and utilize it. This will undoubtedly improve the competitiveness of Japanese steel industry products in the world market."

"Thirdly, it is precisely because of the lack of domestic resources in Japan that the Japanese have always had a heavy sense of crisis. Therefore, Japanese steel companies have chosen to import high-quality and cheap ore, coal, oil and other raw materials around the world, and built

It has built the world's largest undersea warehouse and actively invested in the world's ore production companies, thereby reducing production costs."

"We have an advantage in this regard. Our country is vast and rich in resources. How can little Japan be able to match it?" Mei Yuanwu said with a proud smile.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head, and Mei Yuanwu and Chai Jingyu said in surprise: "Isn't it true?"

"No! Mingyuan said that it is true that our country is vast in land and rich in resources, but it depends on how you look at the rich resources. If we talk about the total amount, it is naturally ranked among the top in the world, but in terms of per capita, it will be at the bottom of the world.

We're in the queue." Zhao Ya interrupted.

Mei Yuanwu and Chai Jingyu were stunned for a long time, then nodded slowly.

In Chinese education, it is always said with great pride that China is a vast country with abundant resources, but never mentions the backwardness of the per capita level. This certainly makes the younger generation have a strong sense of pride, but at the same time, it also makes them have no sense of crisis.

In the previous life, the degree of waste of resources, energy, and manpower in the production process of Chinese enterprises could be said to be appalling compared with that of European and American countries.

However, due to the lack of local resources, the Japanese have to rely on imported resources for production. Japanese companies have never let go of the opportunity to reduce costs.

Fang Mingyuan once saw some information. Taking the United States and Japan as an example, in the 1950s, the two countries were basically at the same level in terms of the capacity of new blast furnaces. They mainly built blast furnaces of about 2,000 cubic meters.

In the 1960s, Japanese steel companies began to build a large number of very large blast furnaces with a volume of more than 5,000 cubic meters. During the same period, the United States did not build even one blast furnace with a volume of more than 4,000 cubic meters.

By the 1980s, the vast majority of blast furnaces in Japan had exceeded 2,000 cubic meters, while less than 10% of blast furnaces in the United States had reached this level.

For another example, the number of flow-line steel plants built in the United States is not only far less than that in Japan, but also generally smaller in scale. At that time, the same steel plant built in Japan was considered the largest in the world. Its output accounted for

It accounts for more than three-quarters of Japan's crude steel production. Large-scale production will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in costs.

"Fourth, the reason why the Japanese have become the world's largest steel country and exported a large number of steel products to countries all over the world is because they use advanced technologies as much as possible in production. For example, pure oxygen top blowing technology is used in production technology.

Continuous casting technology, in terms of management, computers are widely used to improve work efficiency. Both technologies have brought a lot of cost savings. As a result, low prices are naturally welcomed by countries around the world."

“Fifth, the rational production layout of Japanese steel companies is an important reason why they obtain low-cost advantages. If you pay attention to Japanese steel companies, you will find that Japanese steel companies take into account the characteristics of raw material imports and product exports.

, the factory site selection tends to be close to the seaport, and many factories are built in the seaport to reduce transportation costs. Some are even built on small islands created by artificial reclamation. "

"Mingyuan, if that's the case, why don't you choose a location for your steel plant in a coastal area? Shandong Province has many ports for importing raw materials and exporting products." Mei Yuanwu asked. It seems that he still has

I have not forgotten Fang Mingyuan’s rejection of Lu Province.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head helplessly and said: "Yuanwu, I believe you will understand this problem soon. If I tell you now, I'm afraid you won't be impressed!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Mei Yuanwu muttered: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, it's always so mysterious."

"So, U.S. Steel, which has long been known for its high labor productivity, has been greatly impacted by the rapid rise of Japanese Steel. In the 1970s and 1980s, the labor productivity of Japanese Steel was every

Ten thousand people produce ten tons of steel per hour, while the United States only produces eight tons. The wage content of the cost of steel per ton in Japan is US$47, which is lower than the US$51 in the United States. In this way, the Japanese have made their own steel through their own efforts

The competitiveness of manufacturers is better than that of the United States, and Japanese steel is continuously exported to the United States. Under the pressure of American steel companies, the U.S. government even had to step in to control the import of Japanese steel."

"So what is the labor productivity of our national steel company?" Chai Jingyu asked.

Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, this is ***, of course I don't know. Maybe you go back and ask Aunt Chai, she can give you an answer."

"Her? She only asks questions and doesn't answer them. I have to find all the answers myself." Chai Jingyu said with a headache, "Originally, I thought that since you were going to be in this line of work, you should be more aware of these things. Unexpectedly,

You also don’t know anything about it.”

"Is this also ***?" Mei Yuanwu said in surprise, "Why don't companies in Europe and the United States hide these data?"

Fang Mingyuan shrugged. Huaxia Iron and Steel Company's labor productivity was kept secret. From a certain perspective, he could understand it. Like in the previous life, not only many national economic data that should have been disclosed to the public had become ***, but even some cadres

His resume has become a *** and is not allowed to be released to the outside world. Facing this mysterious leader, how can the local *** representatives be sure that he will be a competent cadre? The result is that in the eyes of netizens across the country

A farce that made people laugh or cry was happening in front of them.

"To sum up, I think our country's steel companies want to copy the Japanese model..." Before Fang Mingyuan finished speaking, the box door was suddenly kicked open, and two people walked in from the outside.

The person in front is a young and beautiful woman with willowy eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She has an oval face and long shawl hair. However, she looks very cool in this dress. She wears a short-sleeved white T-shirt on her upper body and the hem is tied around her waist.

The button up reveals a small waist and cute belly button. The bottom is a miniskirt, revealing two long, slender and white jade-like legs, which attracts men's attention.

And the person walking behind her, Fang Mingyuan recognized, was the little overlord Lu Shan whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
