Steel Tycoon Reborn

"I have a document that I just got from the United States, take a look." Sun Yalin took out a few pages of paper from her bag and stuffed it in front of Shen Huai.

Shen Huai took it over. Seeing that the fax was densely listed as a list of companies, he asked Sun Yalin, "What is this?"

"This is the list of the world's top 500 companies planned by Fortune Magazine this year," Sun Yalin said. "Let you see why Little Japan has been so arrogant in the past two years."

Hearing what Sun Yalin said, everyone else became interested; Xiao Haomin sat beside Shen Huai and leaned over to take a look. Although he didn't have much contact with foreign languages ​​for many years, he still had a foundation, only the names of the top four companies on the list. , he couldn't understand it at all, and asked, "What kind of companies are these companies, the English names are so strange..."

"Mitsubishi is Mitsubishi Corporation, mitsui is Mitsui & Co., itochu is Itochu Corporation, and sumitomo is Sumitomo Corporation. These four are large consortiums of Japanese general trading companies," Xiao Haomin has been nesting in Yushan for all these years. He didn't pay much attention to the super enterprise, and it was not strange that he didn't know the English name of the Japanese enterprise. Shen Huai patiently explained a little to him, but he briefly browsed the first two pages of the faxes and said with emotion, "Look at it this way. Come, Japan accounts for 6 of the 10 largest companies in the world, how can the Japanese be arrogant?"

There are twenty or thirty pages in the fax. Shen Huai did not find Yasuda Commercial in the first two pages. He directly asked Sun Yalin, "How many positions are in the Yasuda Consortium..."

"Here," Sun Yalin did her homework in advance, turned the fax back two pages, and pointed to Shen Huai to see Yasuda's ranking.

"The total operating income of Yasuda in 1995 is 60 billion yuan, which is equivalent to the total industrial and commercial output value of Shanghai Huaihai Province." Shen Huai took a breath and sighed with emotion, "We are still a bit far behind others. what."

Everyone sitting around the table knew that the 60 billion Shen Huai said was in US dollars, not RMB. It was depressing to think that the total output value of Huaihai Province's industrial enterprises in the whole year was not even comparable to that of a Japanese company.

Shen Huai threw the materials to Zhou Zhibai, who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile, "Is there any pressure?"

Zhou Zhibai smiled bitterly and said, "You really can blow people's hearts, can I refuse to read this material?"

With the rise of Meishan Iron and Steel, Pengyue, Zhujiang Construction, Penghai Trading, etc., have greatly improved their performance in 1995. Pengyue's furnace charge trade has increased from hundreds to thousands of tons per month. It has risen to 40,000 tons per month now, making progress almost every moment, and there is a big flyover every once in a while.

Zhou Zhibai predicts that Pengyue's total charge trade this year will reach 800 million yuan, and Pengyue Group will also enter the ranks of large enterprises with a revenue of over 1 billion yuan; and in addition to traditional businesses such as trade and hotels, Pengyue participates in Zhujiang Investment. In addition, it has also begun to involve ocean shipping - if it is not for the list of the so-called Fortune 500 companies, Peng Yue's achievements today are enough to inspire and make people proud.

Zhou Zhibai really didn't want to go to the Fortune 500 list to find it. The absolute gap is not to say that ambition can make up for it immediately.

"Blind comparison is wrong," Yang Haipeng had a good mentality, took the fax over with a smile, and asked Sun Yalin, "Is there any domestic company that made it into the top 500? By the way, there is the Evergreen Group, has it made it into the top five? Top 100?"

"Yes, China National Cereals and Oils Import and Export Corporation, last year's revenue was just over 10 billion US dollars, barely squeezed in, about 480," Sun Yalin said, "Changqing Group's total revenue last year was It’s only $5 billion, and it’s still far from being on the list. If it doesn’t have the determination to transform its business, Evergreen Group will never want to enter the ranks of the top 500 in this life.”

Hearing the word "talent" from Sun Yalin, Xiao Haomin almost flashed his waist.

Xiao Haomin has spent most of his life in Yushan except during his studies. In his opinion, not to mention the top 500 companies, even the Evergreen Group with an annual revenue of more than 40 billion yuan is out of reach.

In 1995, the total industrial and agricultural output value of Yushan County was only 3 billion, and the economic scale of one enterprise was equivalent to fifteen or six Yushan counties. In Xiao Haomin's view, Xiao Haomin needed to look up to such an enterprise. of.

What is the output value of Meishan Iron and Steel this year, 2 billion or 3 billion? Can the industrial output value of Meixi Town exceed 10 billion in the past two years?

In Xiao Haomin's opinion, if the total industrial output value of Meixi Town can exceed 10 billion in one or two years, it can be said to be an unbelievable miracle in Donghua's history - he can't expect more.

However, to measure on a national scale, in a country with a population of 1.2 billion, there is only one company that ranks among the top 500 in the world, and it is still in the last dozen or so places—this is Xiao Haomin, which is a little hard to accept.

Is China really that bad, so backward?

The vast majority of domestic private enterprises are very weak. Needless to say, what about those large state-owned enterprises?

For example, Southeast Electric Power Construction, the parent company of Huaineng Group, has more than 100,000 employees, and even those central ministries and commissions with a larger total number of employees seem so unattainable, do they have no strength to enter the world's top 500?

"It's all in foreign languages. I can still receive some foreign-language materials in Shigang, but I've lost them all over the past few years." Yang Haipeng turned over a few pages of materials. The materials were all in English. The piece was returned to Shen Huai.

"If you have an English background, you can make two more trips to the UK with Zhou Zhibai, and you will be able to make it up quickly," Shen Huai took over the fax and flipped a few pages at random before letting Sun Yalin put away the materials and said with a smile, " In fact, we don't need to be too frustrated. These consortia in Japan are all comprehensive trading companies. They seem to be unparalleled. In fact, they have formed such a huge scale by twisting together several super-large enterprises. In fact, China is also considering whether to follow the model of Japan and South Korea and form a central enterprise with a comprehensive trading company model. If we really want to do this, like the Ministry of Electric Power, the main power assets under its jurisdiction will be combined to form one or two super-large enterprises. In terms of assets, it is not a problem to squeeze into the world's top 500. If we disassemble the giant Japanese consortium to analyze and find the target we should focus on, the annual output is 16 million tons Fuji Steel of Steel, even if its strength is much stronger than Mei Steel, it is not as far away as imagined. Of course, our next goal is to ride the provincial steel first..."

"Yeah, thinking too much is easy to get depressed. Meigang's next goal is to press the provincial steel to struggle," Yang Haipeng said with a big heart now, after taking Shen Huai's words, he said with a smile, "Thinking of this goal can It's inspiring already."

"Meigang's next goal is to directly surpass Provincial Steel?" Xiao Haomin asked in surprise, "Shen Magistrate said that he would leave Yushan in the near future, but he just left Yushan, not Donghua..."

"Whether I will leave Donghua, I'm not sure yet," Shen Huai shook his head and said, "It's also possible that some people don't want me to stay in Donghua, so I can only leave Donghua."

Hearing Shen Huai's words was like a riddle. Xiao Haomin was puzzled in various ways, but it was inconvenient to ask questions. He knew that what he heard now could be said to be the most important secret of the Meigang Department. The position of the mayor of Yuzhen, and he was the director of the government office in the county, and he did not have the opportunity to sit with everyone in the Meigang Department.

It's just that Xiao Haomin pondered in his heart, what is the next step for Mei Gang to press Shenggang under him?

After the provincial steel group and the municipal steel group, they proposed to jointly build a large-scale electric furnace steel project with Changqing Group and Fuji Steel, and the output value will likely directly cross the threshold of 10 billion.

How can Mei Steel surpass Provincial Steel?

Shen Huai did not explain Xiao Haomin's doubts in detail, and asked Sun Yalin sideways: "Hu Shuwei took the expert team to Jihe County to confirm all relevant materials. Even if the driving force behind it is not considered, from the perspective of national energy layout, Shanxi Coal The project of going east to the south will start sooner or later. It is appropriate for Huaineng to invest in the construction of a coal transshipment terminal in Jihe now. I want to stay in the party school to take a training course and sign a framework agreement with Jihe County. Many heavyweights are going to support the scene, are you going to accompany my sister-in-law and Hu Shuwei for a trip?"

Shen Huai is not fully confident that he can continue to stay in Donghua, but the situation is already like this, and some steps must be continued.

"I didn't even take a breath when I returned to Meixi," Sun Yalin said with a frown. "The construction of the coal transfer terminal on the other side of the Ji River was also led by Huaineng. I used to be a foil, so what kind of heavyweight is there? what?"

"You'd better go there. Why do we have to put out the big frame from the north first, otherwise we won't be able to bluff people,"

When Shen Huai said this, he couldn't help holding his hand on the edge of the table, and said to Zhou Zhibai, Chu Yiliang and the others:

"There is no turning back for this bow. If we really can't stay in Donghua, then Jihe will become our main battlefield. Zhibai, Haipeng, Lao Zhu, Lao Xi, you all go over this time, and follow along. People in Jihe have more contacts. Even if we can get our wish, there are still some advantageous resources in Jihe that can be invested and cooperated. Your vision should be more open, even for a long time in the future, the focus should be on the East Hua, but it doesn't mean that we can't try to go out first. I will also call and watch Song Hongjun."

Hu Yiliang, Zhu Li, and Zhou Zhibai all nodded and agreed, and this time they went to Jihe together.

Shen Huai looked at his watch, and seeing that it was very late, he said, "That's it for today, I'll have to talk to Ji Chengxi on the phone later."

Shen Huai said so, everyone got up and left Shangxi Garden; Shen Huai went to Chen Dan's office, called Ji Chengxi, and told him the specific personnel arrangements for participating in economic and trade negotiations in Jihe County.

The focus of Huaineng Group's future business development is the energy market dominated by thermal power generation. The industrial chain extends upstream, which naturally involves the development, trade and transportation of coal - only limited funds, UUkanshu www.uukanshu. How to balance the use of com.

After Shen Huai returned to China, he went south from Yanjing and was stopped by Ji Chengxi halfway through. He talked for several days in Jihe County on the project of Shanxi Coal's east-to-south route and the development of Jihe County's own port-side industry.

After leaving Jihe County, Shen Huai went directly to Jiangning, looking for his sister-in-law Song Wenhui and senior executives of Tepco to discuss the investment and construction of a coal-fired transshipment terminal in Jihe County.

Huaineng Group is still very weak for the time being, and its business is directly guided by TEPCO, and its independence is not strong. However, under the promotion of Song Wenhui, TEPCO did not delay, and directly sent people to Jihe to contact and inspect. It is planned that Huaineng will join forces Zhongxin Investment, Zhujiang Investment, Hongji Investment and other institutions have invested in the construction of coal storage yards and two 10,000-ton seaport terminals in Jihe.

After the construction of related projects is completed, it will provide 4 million tons of coal per year for the power plants of Huaineng Group through the combination of road transportation and seaport transshipment. .

The entire investment, including the acquisition of a thermal power plant in Jihe Province, is planned to cost 300 million yuan.

After the official signing of the framework agreement with Jihe County, relevant news will be announced to the public. (83 Chinese Network)
