Steel Tycoon Reborn

(After twelve o'clock, it's time to grab the monthly pass, oh, but, it's a pain to not save the manuscript!)

In July, when Hong Kong returned to Hong Kong, the central bank of Thailand gave up the fixed exchange rate of the Thai baht bound to the US dollar in the first ten days, officially announcing the fall of the Thai baht. In just three to five days, the Thai baht fell sharply; then Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries could not bear the pressure and let the exchange rate fall… …

For a while, the storm was about to come, and the entire Southeast Asia region was under the shroud of the financial crisis. The Hong Kong and Singapore securities markets were also in a violent oscillation after the sharp decline. A large number of speculative funds seemed to smell blood. Like crocodiles, rushing to grab food, no one can predict how the economy will go in the future.

The growth rate of foreign trade industries mainly based on light industry in the coastal areas has slowed down significantly since the first half of the year; while the industrial clusters related to Hong Kong's entrepot trade have been under downward pressure since the second quarter.

The securities markets in China and Japan and South Korea have slumped with fluctuations. It seems that no region can survive this financial turmoil.

In late July, the State Council also conducted a preliminary investigation on the scale of foreign debts in various provinces and cities, and the situation was optimistic.

In the past two decades, Guofeng has attracted more than 200 billion US dollars of foreign exchange funds, mainly concentrated in medium and long-term industrial investment. In the short term, there may be a small scale of capital outflow due to the deterioration of the economic situation, about 30 billion US dollars.

In 1997, the country's foreign exchange reserves were not very strong, but they were more than enough to deal with short-term capital outflows.

The main task of the provinces and cities is to return to the rhythm of coping with the shrinking of the light industry and foreign trade industry and preventing a sharp drop in the economic growth rate.

During this time, Shen Huai had to keep an eye on the trial production process of Xinpu Steel Plant on the one hand, and the negotiation process of Xinpu Refinery on the other hand. In addition, he has become a recognized economic expert.

Donghua's foreign trade industry has grown rapidly in recent years. Including Ziluo Home Textiles and Hu's Clothing, there are already six light industrial enterprises with a foreign trade output value of over 100 million in Meixi New Area.

Among these companies, there are strong and weak ones affected by the financial turmoil.

Hu's Garment, which was greatly affected, saw a significant decline in foreign trade sales in June, and the factory began to reduce the operating capacity, but it has not yet reached the level of reducing labor.

The less affected Ziluo Home Textiles has only slowed down the growth rate; and the production bases in Xinpu International Home Textiles Industrial Park, which are planned to employ 2,000 people, are also under intensive construction. signs of slowing.

It's clear behind the scenes, and there aren't many secrets.

As a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, Hu's Garment is mostly exported to Hong Kong and re-exported. Apart from Europe and the United States, a considerable part of its products are also sold to Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia.

The scale of import and export trade in Southeast Asia has shrunk significantly since the beginning of the year. At this time, it is even at the center of the financial turmoil. As the economic center of Chinese businessmen, Hong Kong is more sensitive, and the pressure is directly transmitted to the production area.

Over the years, Ziluo Home Textiles has almost followed the rhythm of Meigang and is closely related to Western Europe.

Although the total number of Chinese in Western European countries is far less than that in Southeast Asia, the light industrial product wholesale market in Western Europe is dominated by Chinese; only in Paris, France, there have been more than 3,000 Chinese merchants in light industrial product wholesale trade since then. Family.

In recent years, with the development of foreign trade industries in Meixi, Xiapu and other places, Shen Huai and Xiong Wenbin have focused on promoting direct trade with developed regions such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and reducing the proportion of Hong Kong's entrepot trade.

At that time, the problem of the economic crisis was not considered, but the reduction of one entrepot procedure could greatly reduce the cost and greatly improve the efficiency.

There is also the Chinese Business Association of Western European countries. The influence of the Sun family and the Wu family is huge. Whether it is to promote enterprises from the mainland to go out, or to attract Chinese businessmen from Western European countries to invest and build factories in the mainland, it is easy to promote and make achievements. .

At present, the economic turmoil in Southeast Asia has intensified, and its foreign trade to Europe and the United States has shrunk sharply, but it has brought more room for growth to the direct trade of mainland foreign trade enterprises to Europe and the United States.

When the economy is growing at a high speed, all kinds of contradictions and gaps will be covered up. Now that the economic crisis is coming, the financial turmoil is surging, and the impact on the real economy is huge, as if the tide is receding, who wears underwear and who does not wear underwear, you can see the difference.

The European and American economies have been sluggish for the past 90 years, and industrial transfer has been in the process of slow transfer, but the performance is also quite stable, and there is no major ups and downs.

In addition to the sensitivity of the securities market, due to the impact of the Southeast Asian financial turmoil, the fluctuation range is also quite large, but the real economy in Europe and the United States has hardly been affected. As a result, enterprises that have direct trade between the mainland and Europe and the United States can also avoid being directly impacted by the financial crisis.

Another is that when the real economy is inevitably impacted, the advantages of enterprise management and cost control will become more and more prominent.

On August 18, the province once again organized a financial situation seminar on the turbulent Southeast Asian financial crisis, and Shen Huai was temporarily brought to the province to attend the meeting.

The seminar held at the Provincial Guest House was chaired by Governor Zhao Qiuhua in person. There are representatives.

Shen Huai was also at the meeting and met with Li Gu, Fan Wenzhi, Liang Rongjun, Ye Xuanfeng, Sun Fujing and others.

Yu Wei, Xie Haicheng, Zhou Xingwen and others were also invited to attend the seminar as representatives of foreign businessmen. Looking at Zhou Xingwen and Xie Haicheng, Shen Huai thought, what kind of foreign businessmen are they?

At this time, the transfer of Xiong Wenbin and Wu Haifeng from Donghua has been confirmed. Wu Haifeng has already reported to the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. He will first assume the post of secretary-general, and then re-elected the post of vice-chairman early next year. After Wu Haifeng left, Yu Chengzhen, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, will serve as the director of the Municipal People's Congress.

At this time, the inspection team of the provincial party committee had also returned to the province, but the conclusion had not yet come out, but everyone saw Shen Huai's silent appearance at the seminar, and they all tended to think that Tian Jiageng, secretary of the provincial party committee, would beat Mei Gang further.

During this time, Shen Huai also kept a low profile as much as possible, with a posture of holding his tail between his tail and being a man. He didn't speak at the seminar. As soon as the seminar in the afternoon was over, he picked up the notebook and prepared to leave, even for the dinner reception in the evening. Nor do I intend to participate.

"Shen County Chief, Shen County Chief..."

Shen Huai went to the parking lot and was about to leave the Provincial Guest House by car, when he heard Liang Rongjun chasing him from behind and calling him.

Shen Huai stopped and asked Liang Rongjun, "Is there anything Mr. Liang is calling me?"

Liang Rongjun came over and said, "Governor Zhao, please come over..."

Shen Huai and Liang Rongjun walked along the tree-lined road on the west side of the main building of the State Guest House, towards Runhua Building, and went to the VIP Hotel in Runhua Building. They saw Li Gu, Fan Wenzhi and some officials from the provincial government, and accompanied Zhao Qiuhua to sit and talk inside. , Zhou Xingwen and Yu Wei were also present.

Seeing Zhao Qiuhua looking up, Shen Huai smiled in his heart. The last time he was at the Huaihai Hotel, in front of Ji Chenghai and Tan Shiwei, he broke his dream of seeking the secretary of the provincial party committee. I don't know what happened to him calling him here.

"Governor Zhao, do you have something to do with me?" Shen Huai asked pretending to be stupid.

"The provincial party committee just proposed that the province's economic growth rate should be maintained at 10% even if it slows down this year. The steel industry is the main industry of the province, and Meishan Iron and Steel is the leader of the province's steel industry. I have to ask for some things. I want to ask you the bottom line..." Zhao Qiuhua said with a smile.

"Mr. Fan is here, and Mei Gang can't be the leader." Shen Huai said modestly.

Li Gu sat aside, and when Fan Wenzhi heard Shen Huai's words, he lowered his eyes and smiled.

Zhao Qiuhua's face remained the same, and he continued, "It's not the time to be humble, the development of Meigang in recent years has been witnessed by all. By the way, at the beginning of the year, Meigang proposed to put the Xinpu Steel Plant into operation before September. There are less than two weeks left for the plan proposed by Meigang, and the province may not know about the news of the Xinpu Steel Plant..."

Now the province's growth rate needs to be maintained at 10. It's not just a slogan. This goal needs to be broken down. Where there is a shortage that needs to be made up, where it can be strengthened, and a greater contribution to the economic growth rate, it is the provincial government's next step. The key work and responsibilities, otherwise there is no need to explain to the provincial party committee, which is dereliction of duty at work.

Working with Tian Jiageng in the last few months, Zhao Qiuhua didn't want to have any reason for Tian Jiageng to seize it.

The economic scale of Huaihai Province at this time is not large. Even if the Xinpu Steel Plant is fully put into operation in September, the economic growth rate of the province will be at least one point higher. Therefore, whether the Xinpu Steel Plant can be put into production as scheduled and whether the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Industry can fully carry out the construction as scheduled will have a great impact on the goal of maintaining a growth rate of 10% in the province.

The Xinpu Steel Plant did not hold any completion ceremonies, and they refrained from reporting to the city and the province on the progress of the project. Breaking down the work is hard to do.

Zhao Qiuhua doesn't like Shen Huai very much~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But the work to do now, he has to come over and question him, otherwise he is not doing his duty.

Listening to Zhao Qiuhua's question, Shen Huai replied with an "oh": "The construction of Xinpu Steel Plant is still proceeding according to the original plan, but the current steel market trend is not very ideal, is it going to be in September or October? , the whole line is put into production, Meishan Iron and Steel is still discussing..."

Zhao Qiuhua wanted to ask for a definite answer, but Shen Huai didn't think it was necessary for him to tell Zhao Qiuhua the definite answer.

Zhao Qiuhua can't say that Shen Huai's attitude is not sincere, but Shen Huai's answer is no different from not answering, he can only signal him to sit down and participate in the small-scale conversation here, so that he can slowly set his words.

In front of Zhao Qiuhua, Shen Huai did not approach Li Gu. Although he saw that there were vacancies around Li Gu, he turned to sit down between Yu Wei and Fan Wenzhi, and said with a smile to Yu Wei, "The construction of the Baohe ship project. , it seems to have slowed down a bit recently, Governor Zhao pulled you over, but he also wants you to work harder?"

Li Gu listened to the opposite and laughed inwardly, thinking that Shen Huai was looking low-key, but he came over and stabbed at other people's sore spots - looking at Yu Wei's beautiful face that did not leave traces of time, when he heard Shen Huai's words After that, the corner of her mouth twitched, thinking that Yu Wei really asked Shen Huai about the pain point. l3l4
