Steel Tycoon Reborn

(Ask for a monthly pass)

Back to Meixi, Shen Huai and Sun Yalin drove their own cars.

In the car, Shen Huai called Chen Dan. Chen Dan knew that Sun Yalin was going to have dinner, so he stopped making preparations, and asked them to go to Shangxi Garden.

Shen Huai and Sun Yalin parked their car on the edge of the leisure green space in the east of Zhuyuan. They passed through the old stone archway at the east end of the old street and walked along the street. Under the cast iron street lights, they looked at several beautifully decorated Japanese restaurants. The restaurant is open to the outside world; it is the east end of Anlan Temple, and there is also a newly opened club with a Japanese curtain.

Shen Huai came out of the county late. It was past seven o'clock by this time, and most of the diners had already entered the store. The few pedestrians were either young tourists or residents who came out to hang out after dinner.

Meixi Town has sufficient financial resources. After Shen Huai stayed in Tangzha, he continued to invest more in Meixi Old Street.

Because the industrial parks in Meixi New District, Hexi New Town and other construction sites must be comprehensively planned, some old buildings that are valuable but not enough for the protection of cultural relics at the city level have also been relocated at huge sums of money to expand the old street to the north. Including the Meilin Circle in the southwest corner, a park covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres is formed, making Meixi Old Street, Laohe Wharf, Yanhe Road Commercial Street, and Xuetang Street an old town with a radius of nearly one square kilometer. Integrated into a whole, it has also become the most popular scenic spot in the Meixi New District.

Walking into Shangxi Garden, there are also several middle-aged people waiting in the front hall, talking in a low voice in a Japanese style.

"Meixi seems to be occupied by devils again in the past two years..." Sun Yalin couldn't help but muttered as she saw the Japanese everywhere.

Until the mid-to-early 1990s, after the economic rise of Japan, the capital export and industrial transfer direction in Asia were mainly in Southeast Asia. Also since the Asian financial turmoil, Japanese manufacturers and other Asia-Pacific investors, including Chinese businessmen, have mainly turned their attention to China:

For this country, a population of 1.2 billion is somewhat overwhelmed, but for investors, it means sufficient cheap labor resources and a potentially broad market.

After seeing the continued strong growth of the Chinese economy, some overseas economists have long put forward the famous "100 million people" theory for the Chinese market: they believe that as long as China has a population of 1.2 billion, even if the economy continues to grow After that, only 100 million wealthy people will be produced, and the market size will be close to that of today's second economy, Japan.

Behind the abundant cheap labor resources, China has a sound education system and industrial development that has been working hard for 50 years, so that almost all the young Chinese workers have extremely high industrial quality and the ability to adapt to an industrialized society.

Among investors, those who have thoroughly studied China's economic development are mainly Chinese businessmen from Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, as well as manufacturers in Taiwan.

In the past, investors in Taiwan were affected by the tension between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and their investment in the Mainland has always been limited. There has also been a surge since last year.

Shen Huai, Xiong Wenbin and others also recognized the problem of the secondary transfer of the Asia-Pacific industry as early as the early stage of the Asia-Pacific financial turmoil.

By 1998, the infrastructure of many industrial parks in Meixi New Area had basically matured, and the peripheral airports, railways, ports, and expressways had also formed major facilities. Shen Huai also paid great attention to the construction of soft environment in Meixi and Xinpu. The achievements in attracting investment in the past two years have also been outstanding.

In 1998, only Meixi New District introduced nearly 100 large and small Japanese and Korean companies and Taiwanese businessmen from Southeast Asia—Taiwan is deeply influenced by Japanese culture—which has led to the fact that restaurants in Meixi Town can be seen everywhere today. , The scene of Japanese people crawling all over the ground.

There is also the credit of Fuji Steel behind this.

As a member of the Yasuda family of the six major chaebols in Japan, Fuji Steel itself is a large heavy industry manufacturing company and has a great influence in Japan.

Over the years, Meixi International Metallurgical Industrial Park has become the largest electric furnace steel industry base in China, with an annual steelmaking capacity of 3.2 million tons. The joint ventures established by Fuji Steel, Provincial Steel and Changqing Group account for to half.

The construction of the steel plant led by Ronshine and Provincial Steel in Xinjin is planned to be completed and put into operation before the fall of this year, mainly using the blast furnace technology of Fuji Steel, in which Fuji Steel also holds 15% of the equity; Sun Yalin also transferred about 10% of the shares of Meixi Industry, a listed company under the name of Zhongxin Investment, to Fuji Steel to undertake the construction.

In terms of industrial influence, Donghua Fuji Steel is not as good as Meigang, but not slightly weaker than Provincial Steel.

In recent years, under the direct influence of Fuji Steel, Fuji Steel mainly provides supporting facilities. Nearly 20 Japanese-funded enterprises have invested and built factories in Donghua; in addition, more Japanese companies have invested in Donghua. The foreign-funded enterprises mainly focus on textile light industry and chemical industry.

The tax revenue of Tangzha District and Meixi New District was the same as that of Xiapu last year, but the growth rate in the next few years will not slow down. The biggest problem is that the subsequent development of Meixi New Area will be mainly limited by the lack of industrial land.

When Meixi New District was established, although Meixi, Zhushe, Huangqiao and other towns were incorporated, in fact, from Zhuxi Avenue to the north, it was all urban construction land, and only part of Meixi and Zhushe towns were planned as In the industrial zone, after deducting the supporting construction such as transportation, water and electricity, the usable area for the construction of factories is less than 60 square kilometers.

Although there are still 20 to 30 square kilometers of industrial land available, in terms of long-term development, the subsequent development potential of Meixi New Area is far from enough.

In contrast, Xinpugang Industrial Park, the area of ​​the industrial area built at this time is even slightly smaller than the Meixi New Area, and the area officially entered into the planning is not very large, but in addition to the south of Meipu Avenue, there is a wider hinterland that can be planned as an industrial area. In addition to the construction land, there are 200 to 300 square kilometers of shoals to the east that can be reclaimed; if from the Huaihai Fleet berth to the north, all the way to Xinjin Port, the coastline of 40 to 50 kilometers along the line can be reclaimed for development. The area of ​​industrial tidal flats and shoals is even greater.

If he can serve concurrently as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Committee, Shen Huai plans to work with Chen Bing to further promote the adjustment of administrative regions and the new industrial and urban construction layout planning in Donghua, so that the development resources of Donghua in all aspects can be more balanced, so that the The momentum of Donghua's economic take-off in recent years will not decline in the next ten years.

It's just that this plan seems to be falling apart at the moment.

Of course, even if the growth rate of Donghua is no longer as fast as the previous two years, the foundation has been laid, and the achievements are already brilliant enough.

In 1994, the GDP of Donghua City was only a little over 30 billion yuan. This year's goal is to break through 100 billion yuan, tying Xucheng and becoming the No. 1 economic city in Huaihai Province. However, Donghua's economic focus is on Xinpu and Meixi are far from balanced in terms of regional structure.

After the real economy rises, the first benefit in the tertiary industry will always be catering.

Shangxi Garden has been carefully managed over the past few years. As the most high-end catering company in Donghua, it has made a name for itself along with the official cuisine of the Sun family.

However, Chen Dan does not have much ambition. So far, Shangxi Garden has only two stores on Meixi Old Street and Xucheng Yiyuan Road. The operating area is limited. Thirty.

It may also be a factor of hunger marketing. The Shangxiyuan main store is currently only accepting reservations, and it needs to be booked three or four days in advance. The annual turnover is more than 20 million.

Shangxi Garden is small in scale, so it can generate such high revenue, and the profit margin of the catering industry is also high. In Sun Yalin's words, it is simply a cash cow.

No matter how nervous the dining room is, Shen Huai and Sun Yalin are always worried about the place when they come to eat.

As soon as Shen Huai and the others arrived, Chen Dan came down from the office and said to Sun Yalin, "If Shen Huai hadn't called, I wouldn't have known that you would return to Donghua."

Sun Yalin has been abroad for more than a year, and at the beginning of the year, Sun Yalin's parents returned to Donghua to visit relatives, and Chen Dan had no chance to meet Sun Yalin. In all, Chen Dan did not see Sun Yalin again for several months.

Sun Yalin said to Chen Dan, "You don't think I'm getting in the way of eating with me, right?"

"I just wanted to come over for dinner just now, why are you being polite now?" Shen Huai asked Sun Yalin strangely.

Sun Yalin didn't say anything, but Chen Dan glanced at Shen Huai angrily, and said to Sun Yalin, "Don't listen to his nonsense..." They walked to the west garden with Shen Huai and Sun Yalin.

Kou Xuan slammed out of the moon gate in the yard. Seeing Shen Huai and Chen Dan together, she was a little surprised and asked in surprise, "Why did you come here to eat? When did Sister Yalin go back to Donghua?"

Shen Huai and Chen Dan usually meet in the old house, they cook their own meals when they have time, and Chen Dan brings the meals directly from the hotel when they have no time. Kou Xuan went to a tourism school with a two-year education system. The classmates went to Shangxi Garden for an internship together, but they never saw Shen Huai once in Shangxi Garden, and at this time, they were naturally surprised.

"Strange, why can't I come?" Shen Huai asked with a smile.

Kou Xuan is about the same age as Xiao Li, and she will be twenty-one years old in the years to come. She is wearing the purple-red uniform worn by the intern manager of the hotel. The bright and bright face is still young and pure.

Of course, according to what Kou Xuan has experienced over the years, the innocence and innocence on her face is just her unique and seductive temperament; her dark eyes stared at Shen Huai, as if she hadn't seen it at first. Shen Huai recovered from his surprise.

When Kou Xuan followed Yang Lili, she lived with Sun Yalin for a period of time, and the relationship was naturally close. Seeing Kou Xuan rushing out recklessly, Sun Yalin asked, "Who is following you, running out like your **** is on fire? They all startled us."

Kou Xuan said indignantly, "The people from Baohe are eating in the garden in the west, shouting and shouting, like the nouveau riche, they can't wait to drive them away..."

Sun Yalin smiled and knew that Yu Wei had bought a house in Zhuyuan and moved in. The person Kou Xuan called Baohe probably meant Yu Wei. They stood in front of the Moon Gate and didn't hear anyone inside. yelling.

At this time, a middle-aged woman chased out from inside. She didn't recognize Shen Huai, Chen Dan, and the others. Seeing Kou Xuan there, she called to her, "Xiao Xuan, your birthday is today, and your mother invited us over for dinner. After a lot of thought. She gave you a gift, you don't want to accept it, you can't just drop it on the ground and leave..."

"No one cares about her doing this, and she doesn't need her to care about me," Kou Xuan's pretty face tensed up, and she said to the middle-aged woman, "Gu, you don't care about me either."

It was only then that Shen Huai remembered that this middle-aged woman was also from Meixi Town, Kou Xuan's aunt, but she didn't meet him, so she couldn't recognize her. Kou Xuan's relationship with her aunt is also very general, which has something to do with old Kou's lack of money for medical treatment and the death of illness - Shen Huai didn't expect Yu Wei to see that her relationship with Kou Xuan would not be able to return to normal, but instead thought of taking a detour.

Shen Huai didn't want to get involved in the affairs between Yu Wei and Kou Xuan's mother and daughter. She took the lead and walked into the lane, leaving Kou Xuan there to entangle with her aunt. Kou Xuan followed from behind again and said, "Today is really my birthday..."

Shen Huai took off her coat and put it on the back of the chair, seeing Kou Xuan with a little grievance in her eyes, and her tone of voice was very resentful, knowing that she was somewhat emotional after her mother's torment, and said with a smile, "I'll have dinner later. Apart from asking the kitchen to bring you a bowl of noodles, we really didn't prepare any present for you."

Chen Dan put her hand on Kou Xuan's shoulder, asked her to sit down to eat, and said, "Xiao Li was planning to come back if she wasn't preparing for the exam; I have all the gifts in the office, I'll bring them to you later. Yes, I specially asked me to prepare a cake, but I didn't let you know..." Chen Dan knew that Kou Xuan was born today, but she doesn't care about the daily operations of Shangxi Garden, nor does she know that Yu Wei invited her today. The relatives, friends and old friends in Donghua came over to give Kou Xuan a birthday greeting.

"That said, we came over for dinner today by coincidence." Shen Huai sat down with a smile.

When Kou Xuan sat down, she wouldn't be able to settle down here. Sure enough, Yu Wei came over in high heels after a while. From her beautiful smile, she couldn't tell that she had just had an argument with Kou Xuan.

"Listening to Kou Xuan's aunt, I guessed that it was Secretary Shen who came to eat, but I didn't expect Miss Sun to be there..." Yu Wei pushed open the door and walked in, approaching with a warm smile to say hello.

Yu Wei experienced her first marriage when she was a girl. She was only eighteen when she gave birth to Kou Xuan, and she was not yet forty at this time. Although she was considered a middle-aged woman, her delicate and fair face was as smooth as a freshly peeled boiled egg, and she looked like a glamorous woman in her early thirties.

After the drunken incident last year, although the old story of Yu Wei abandoning her husband and daughter did not spread widely, it is no longer a secret in the Gu family, but it has not caused any waves.

In addition to Mei Gang, Hongji and Yu Wei's cooperation with Yu Wei to strengthen the control of Baohe Shipping Industry, Gu Zhengyuan, who is still hanging in the hospital, believes in Yu Wei - this woman really has the capital to confuse the old man. .

Shen Huai used to think that He Yuelian had already done her best among women like Meishu, but she didn't expect Yu Wei to be even better.

Everyone is in a cooperative relationship now. Seeing Yu Wei come in, Kou Xuan puts on a icy pretty face and doesn't look at her mother, but Shen Huai can't stand up any longer, sit still, stand up and ask with a smile, "Mr. Yu I'm eating here today, but it's a coincidence."

Yu Wei abandoned Hu Lin and chose to separate between Meigang and the Department of Economics and Economics, and received sufficient financial support in the fall of last year.

Baohe's shipbuilding base in Xipi Zha was delayed for nearly two years due to the lack of construction funds. As soon as the capital was injected, the construction started immediately, and some businesses were adjusted out, and now it has begun to receive orders to prepare for production.

Baohe Shipbuilding has been destroyed by the Asian financial turmoil and abandoned the previous expansion strategy of opening and closing. The current shipyard in Xipizha will be the largest production base of Baohe Shipping Industry. With a firm foothold and a move that cannot be lost, Yu Wei will stay in Donghua for more time after the new year-this is also an important reason for her to buy a shopping property in Zhuyuan.

However, this also brought new troubles to Kou Xuan, and Yu Wei had more time to come to pester her, and after she got rid of it, she was not afraid that the Gu family would force her old affairs again.

Yu Wei saw that her daughter's face was wrong, and she knew that if she didn't leave, she was afraid that the atmosphere would freeze up.

But when she walked out of the box, Yu Wei couldn't help but look back. Seeing Chen Dan and Shen Huai talking to Kou Xuan in the pavilion, they seemed to be trying to persuade her.

Over the years, some things have not been known to outsiders - even Qi Jingyao can only roughly guess that Shen Huai used Yang Lili to bring down the UK, but he is not clear about the key role Kou Xuan played in it. Kou Xuan used a pseudonym at the Emperor, and later did not meet Dai Yi, Gao Xiaohu and others, so some things were hidden and became secrets.

Yu Wei inquired in every possible way, but there was no way to put it all together over the years. Some things even Kou Xuan's aunt in Meixi didn't know why.

She only knew that after Father Kou passed away, Kou Xuan didn't study well, and was involved in the three teachings and the ninth class. Seeing that she had a close relationship with Shen Huai, she only thought that her body had been taken over by Shen Huai, and at first she thought that Kou Xuan was Shen Huai. One of the many lovers, even now, there is no way to rule out this kind of speculation, otherwise, what qualifications does Kou Xuan have to sit at the same table with Shen Huai and Sun Yalin?

It's just that Kou Xuan has re-entered the school in the past two years, and she went to Shangxi Garden for an internship after the new year. It was also a grassroots job. She couldn't see that she was spoiled into a canary in a cage. This made Yu Wei feel doubtful.

Yu Wei hid her doubts and walked out.

Except for the main building rebuilt from the spinning factory warehouse, Shangxi Garden is composed of seven or eight small courtyards. Without the guidance of the waiter, Yu Wei was very preoccupied. After taking two more steps, she took a wrong path, and went around twice to the front hall.

When I got to the front hall, I remembered that, Yu Wei went from the side door to the garden to the west, and under an old elm tree built into the courtyard wall stood a young figure, who was calling someone behind her back:

"I've already arrived at Shangxi Garden. I think I have to talk to Shen Huai about some things..."

Yu Wei doesn't know who this young woman is~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What else should she pick up and tell Shen Huai.

She probably heard footsteps and felt someone walking in. Xie Zhi turned around and was stunned when she saw Yu Wei. After a while, she thought of saying hello to Yu Wei.

Yu Wei didn't think it would be Xie Haicheng's daughter and Song Hongqi's wife Xie Zhi.

Yu Wei has also heard a lot about the internal conflicts within the Song clan.

Some winds run faster than horses with four legs.

In just two or three days, Song Bingsheng said that Shen Huai was young and inexperienced, and it was no secret that he refused to be promoted by the provincial party secretary to Shen Huai and the standing committee member of the Donghua municipal party committee.

During this time, there were rumors that Shen Huai might be transferred to the province, and Yu Wei also vaguely felt that Shen Huai was indeed likely to leave Donghua this time.

Yu Wei thought to herself, Xie Zhi had something to do with Shen Huai, could it be related to this?

"Miss Xie is here to find Secretary Shen. He is eating in the pavilion by the water in front..." Yu Wei pointed and said to Xie Zhi with a smile, as if she really felt sorry for Xie Zhi who was talking to someone on the phone just now. Not interested in the content.

Xie Zhi was driving through Zhu Garden and saw Sun Yalin and Shen Huai's car parked together, so she guessed that Shen Huai was in Shangxi Garden, but she didn't go to see him. Even if she walked into Shangxi Garden, she was still a little hesitant.

Inadvertently asked Yu Wei to run into him, but Xie Zhi also retreated, and greeted Yu Wei with a nod as usual, "Mr. Yu is also eating here?"

"Yeah, invite some relatives in my hometown to dinner." Yu Wei didn't know that Xie Zhiqing didn't know that she and Kou Xuan were in a mother-daughter relationship, but she was embarrassed when she thought that this relationship was exposed to everyone, so she greeted her and walked in. She didn't care whether Xie Zhi was looking for Shen Huai or not in the courtyard where she dined.
