Steel Tycoon Reborn

Hearing that Shen Huai intends to invest in building a steel logistics park in Qinghe, Cheng Wenguang said with great interest: "Tell me in detail..."

Shen Huai knew that Cheng Wenguang was more sensitive to the development of local industries than his second uncle. After scratching his head, he explained to Cheng Wenguang the original intention and specific operation mode of his decision to invest in the construction of a steel logistics park in Qinghe. :

"The domestic steel industry has experienced a period of high growth for more than ten years, and the future growth potential is still huge, but the market circulation system, which has just experienced the drastic changes after the dual-track system, is far from mature, and the construction of the steel market in various places is also There is some confusion. As far as iron and steel enterprises are concerned, there are still some differences of opinion on how to operate and tap the market in the future. The current mainstream, except for specific large customers, the relatively scattered steel market advocates that steel traders be responsible for maintenance, However, this model is not proactive enough for extra-large steel enterprises. I have discussed with the management of Meishan Iron and Steel for a long time, and I have some experience before. As a new steel enterprise, Meishan Iron and Steel must actively participate in the downstream industry. Since the construction of the chain, we decided to explore cooperation with steel trading companies. In addition to the construction of steel logistics and trade bases in Xinpu and Meixi, we also plan to choose two or three more places to build steel logistics parks. We hope to use this as a hub to Promote the better penetration of Meigang's steel products into the regional market. Of course, there are still some uncertain factors. For example, after the completion of the steel logistics park, the profit model is still relatively vague. At present, it seems that it is mainly rental income, not It is particularly ideal. However, as far as the construction of the logistics park is concerned, in addition to strengthening the warehousing, logistics, trade and other links, relying on the logistics park can also introduce some steel finishing enterprises, in addition to the catering, accommodation, business and other fields There should also be supporting development. I have always told Ji Chengxi that they need to strengthen local cooperation, so they decided to take this project out to Qinghe to test the water..."

Cheng Wenguang smiled and said, "It's no wonder that Tan Shiwei and the others have a good impression of you. You think about the problem from a likable point of view. It seems a pity that Meigang can't take over the construction of the coal terminal?"

Shen Huai smiled and said: "Jihe Port Coal Handling Terminal, Iron and Steel Logistics Base, as well as supporting steel processing areas and service areas can indeed be integrated into a larger project, which will benefit the local development of Meishan Iron and Steel and Qinghe City. However, there is nothing wrong with Changqing Group taking over the follow-up construction of the coal handling terminal in the end, and they can still cooperate with each other. After all, when the Changqing Group has built the terminal, don’t they hope that the surrounding area will form a large scale? logistics system to ensure port throughput? I think the construction of the logistics park can actually attract some investment from Changqing Group..."

Cheng Wenguang shook his head and smiled, and said, "Everyone can have an open attitude like yours, and many things will be much simpler."

"Opening up was also forced out," Shen Huai said, "I can't do anything about others, so I choose to cooperate. To put it mildly, the person who knows the current affairs is Junjie..."

Cheng Wenguang laughed and said, "Shimen is the transportation hub in the Shanxi-Hebei region. Since Meigang can invest in the construction of a steel logistics park in Qinghe, it is entirely possible to build another one in Shimen..."

Shen Huai said: "There are several iron and steel enterprises in the southern Hebei region, but they are all small in scale, and the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group in Shanxi Province has become popular at present, and the market space is large. If we can enter the Jinji iron and steel market on a large scale, we can go to Meigang is willing to penetrate the steel market of Yanjing and Jinhai, which is one of the main factors in our decision to build a medium-sized logistics park in Qinghe. However, we do not dare to take too much action. The steel market in China is currently dominated by Yanjing Steel and several steel companies in northern Hebei. Although it does not exclude the entry of steel products from other places, if Meigang now takes 400 million to 500 million or more funds, it will directly invest in Shimen. To build the largest iron and steel logistics and trade park in the north at the Shanxi-Hebei hub, the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin, may be detrimental to you, Uncle Cheng..."

Meigang's entry into Qinghe Investment Steel Logistics Park will not have a particularly large impact. It will help Meigang to slowly penetrate into the Shanxi-Hebei market and import 3,500,000 to 1,000,000 tons of steel products every year. The demand of nearly 20 million tons will not cause any disturbance.

Shimen is not only the provincial capital of Hebei Province, but also the land logistics hub of Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin. If Meigang invests heavily in the construction of a large-scale steel logistics and trade base in Shimen, it is inevitable that large local iron and steel enterprises in Hebei will object. Beijing Iron and Steel, the leader of the northern steel company, is also very likely to jump out and make irresponsible remarks.

After all, Mei Steel is doing this. For Yanjing Iron and Steel and other companies, this is a close-up attack tactic.

Cheng Wenguang's mind is also to promote local economic development, but in the minds of Yanjing Iron and Steel and steel companies in Hebei Province that will be under greater competition pressure, it will be a completely different idea; and these companies have no influence on the political situation. ignore.

For Meishan Iron and Steel, there is no large-scale expansion plan for the steelmaking business in the next two or three years. According to the existing cash flow, it will build some small-scale high-quality steel production lines or acquire some small and medium-sized steel enterprises in order to Enriching product lines and enhancing market penetration, the production capacity will gradually expand to seven or eight million tons.

Before further maturity in market construction and technology digestion, Shen Huai will not consider launching the second-phase construction of the larger-scale Xinpu Steel Plant.

As far as Meigang's current production capacity is concerned, there is no need to make aggressive enemies towards Yangang and several iron and steel enterprises in Hebei Province. The high-growth market in East China can fully accommodate Meigang's current development.

Cheng Wenguang nodded, knowing that Shen Huai's consideration was mature and comprehensive, but he still had a different opinion and said: "Your consideration is good, but ah, competition has the advantage of competition. From the point of view of human inertia, disgust We hate competition, because competition brings pressure, but we must also see that competition also brings growth momentum. The fundamental reason for the restructuring of state-owned enterprises is not the lack of competitiveness of most state-owned enterprises. If the competition has a firm footing, there is no need to change anything? The market is the touchstone, and practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Just like the current situation in Donghua City, I don’t think it is necessarily bad for Meishan Iron and Steel, but the benefits for Donghua’s local development. Not to mention..."

"If Uncle Cheng wants me to come over and be a catfish, I'm naturally responsible..." Shen Huai said.

"Don't be so pitiful," Cheng Wenguang laughed, turned his head and instructed Chen Yongjun, who has been participating in their conversations but rarely speaks, "I think the province can come forward to promote a large-scale steel logistics and processing park. Shimen Iron and Steel Group participated in the investment promotion project, but issued investment invitation letters to Meishan Iron and Steel, Yanshan Iron and Steel, Tangshan Iron and Steel, Jiangning Iron and Steel, etc. There is no biased threshold in the province, and several open competition Yangang and other companies chose to give up, and ultimately the construction rights fell to Meigang, and they couldn't blame me for leaving benefits to their own family..."

Chen Yongjun nodded and said, "I remember what Governor Cheng said to Shen Huai. I took time to sort it out in the morning..."

At this time, Cheng Yi pushed the door open and urged them to go out for breakfast, while the morning sun outside poured in golden sunlight through the flowers and leaves placed on the windowsill, making the study transparent and bright.

Chen Yongjun had eaten early in the morning, so he did not go to the restaurant to accompany him to eat.

They had just arrived in Ji Province, and many things were unfamiliar to them. Cheng Wenguang had to contact him to confirm the arrangement of activities in the morning, and he also took time to write down a few key points of the conversation in the study just now, so as not to forget.

Chen Yongjun closed the notebook and put it in his pocket, and also secretly felt that the idea of ​​building a larger-scale steel logistics park in Shimen was very good.

Cheng Wenguang went to work in Hebei Province, not only the Song Ji family, but also the local government placed hope. In addition to adjusting the industrial structure in the northern Hebei region, he also has important tasks such as revitalizing the economy in southern Hebei, and promoting the construction of the Jinnan line and the Jihe port. .

At the beginning of getting off the bus, it was always a mess. In terms of economic and industrial development, in addition to some inherent lagging disadvantages of Hebei Province, the impact of the Asia-Pacific financial crisis on Hebei Province was not as strong as that of southern provinces and cities, but it was somewhat affected— - How to carry out work effectively and quickly, how to gain a firm foothold in Hebei Province, gather people's hearts from below, and strengthen the trust of Ji Song and other central leaders from above, not only Cheng Wenguang has to think about it, but also Chen Yongjun and his subordinates who are accompanying him. Only when Cheng Wenguang provides weighty advice can he be considered qualified and not betray his trust.

The scale of the Shimen Iron and Steel Logistics and Finishing Park project will not be too large, but with one injection of water, the total investment will probably be about one billion yuan. This is a strong accelerator for Shimen City, whose economic development has been lagging behind, but perhaps more importantly, it stimulates Yangang and several large steel enterprises in northern Hebei.

If they do not want Meigang to aggressively enter the steel market in Jinji, Beijing and Tianjin, Shimen is their last main position to block, and they may enter Qinghe to block Meigang. In this way, the economic development of southern Hebei will suddenly increase. a lot of vitality.

Although Shen Huai's conversation with Cheng Wenguang did not specifically mention Shimen Iron and Steel Group, Chen Yongjun believed that both Shen Huai and Cheng Wenguang were concerned about Shimen Iron and Steel.

Shimen Iron and Steel Group is not very large, with an annual output of 350,000 tons of iron and 400,000 tons of steel. It is considered a large enterprise in Shimen City~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but in terms of the domestic steel industry, it is an insignificant small factory. .

Shimen Iron and Steel Group was restructured in 1994. Except for a certain share held by the Shimen Municipal Government, the real major shareholder is none other than Goldstone International Group, a state-owned central enterprise controlled by the Hu family.

At this time, the good drama will come. Shimen Iron and Steel, as a local steel company, has named Shimen Iron and Steel to participate in the logistics park project, which is considered to protect local interests. There is also no strength to contract the entire logistics park project.

At this time, it depends on the reaction of Jinshi International Group, the major shareholder behind Shimen Steel.

If the Hu family behind Jinshi International wants to personally prevent Meigang from entering the steel market in Jinji, Beijing and Tianjin, in addition to participating in the construction of the iron and steel logistics park on a large scale, at the same time, in order to match the actual logistics trade scale of the iron and steel logistics park, it must be expanded on a larger scale. The production capacity of Shimen Steel.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongjun can also clarify why Cheng Wenguang is so important to this prospective son-in-law. No matter who holds the hand of Mei Gang, it is a powerful card, and he may not even play this card. There will be enough alarming effect - there will be the changes they need. l3l4
