Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 138: Hearts of Iron

After lunch, Shen Huai was about to leave, and Sun Yalin didn't want to sit in a hotel alone on the first day of the new year, and get into his car with a shameless face: "I think we had such a good conversation yesterday, you won't be cruel to leave me alone. come down?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a thief's car?" Shen Huai asked.

"I'm with you, it doesn't matter who robs anyone." Sun Yalin said disdainfully, making a taekwondo gesture.

Shen Huai smiled bitterly and said: "Well, seeing you are so pitiful, I will reluctantly take you in. But my car is too bad, so let's drive your car. I've also been here for a car with a small two million... ..." He got into Sun Yalin's trident and drove directly to Hetang Town.

Meixi faces the river, and Hetang faces the river.

After crossing the Meixi Bridge, take a gravel road west of the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant to the south, and within two kilometers is the Zhujiang River. Driving on the Jiangdi Highway, there are tall poplar trees that have been planted for 20 to 30 years on both sides. At this time, the weather is freezing cold, and the water of the Zhujiang River is also cold and white.

"Meixi Town is so close to the river?" Sun Yalin had no concept of Donghua's geography. After arriving in Donghua, she walked both sides of the city and Meixi Town, and she saw the Zhujiang Embankment in the Donghua section for the first time. , I didn't expect Meixi Town to be so close to the riverside, "Why didn't the Meixi Iron and Steel Factory build to the riverside?"

Shen Huai smiled and said, "In the 1960s and 1970s, villages and communes all made iron and steel, and there was no concept of industrial layout at all. The steel plant in Meixi Town struggled to survive. When the production was expanded in the late 1990s, local protectionism was on the rise again. Naturally, Meixi Town was reluctant to share the meat in its own bowl with others, and it did not have the courage to start anew. It also relied on the old factory to expand the new factory area. Today's embarrassing situation of "neither relying on the river nor relying on the river", whether it is raw materials entering the factory or steel leaving the factory, can only rely on road transportation, but Meixi Town does not have a decent road..."

"In the long run, it is more appropriate for the steel mill to be built by the river." Sun Yalin has been engaged in industrial finance for four years, and her understanding of industrial layout is above the standard. "Why, you have nothing to do with me today to the river embankment, During the meal, I mentioned the dock. Did you consider building a new factory in Hetang Town when expanding production?"

"It's you who came here with your face, right?" Shen Huai smiled, turned to look north, and could clearly see the iron-making blast furnace produced by Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, and said, "Why can't the factory area of ​​Meixi Iron and Steel Plant be How about expanding the river embankment all the time?"

"Are you dreaming a white dream?" Sun Yalin said contemptuously, "This piece of land doesn't seem far away, but the factory area is really going to expand all the way, let alone five or six thousand acres of land. The best ones in the country. Steel companies, I have been there. The factory area of ​​five or six thousand acres can accommodate at least six to eight million tons of steel production capacity. How much is the total domestic steel output last year, has it ever exceeded 70 million tons? Can Xi Steel Plant sit on the throne of the No. 1 steel company in China?"

"Maybe I'm too optimistic, but you also underestimate the potential of domestic development," Shen Huai smiled indifferently at Sun Yalin's sneer, and said,

"When European and American countries complete their industrialization, the per capita annual steel consumption is about 0.7 to 1 ton. Based on this calculation, when China realizes industrialization, the peak annual steel consumption should be 850 million to 1.2 billion tons. When the industrialization was completed, the per capita steel stock was 20 tons. Based on this calculation, if China wants to realize industrialization, the total domestic steel consumption will reach 24 billion tons. At present, the annual domestic steel consumption is only 8,000 tons. The consumption is only about one billion tons. Tell me, when China unswervingly moves towards the goal of industrialization and modernization, and becomes a first-class power and great country, how much room does the steel industry have for development?”

Sun Yalin raised her voice. Although she had reached a tacit understanding of cooperation last night, she found that she still knew too little about Shen Huai's dream.

If she hadn't seen the miraculous rise of the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant in Shen Huai's hands, and Shen Huai was standing by the river and saying such words, she would have thought that he was insane. At this time, seeing Shen Huai standing there, he didn't seem to be hit by the alienation of Tan Qiping at all, and he pointed Jiangshan in high spirits, and there were too many unfamiliar and novel feelings in his heart.

She can finally be sure that the Shen Huai she knew and hated before doesn't exist anymore. Although she doesn't know what happened to Shen Huai since he returned to China for three years, she knows that the man in front of her has too many surprising and digging places...

"Xiong Wenbin was in charge of the city's iron and steel plant in the mid-1980s. He planned to increase the annual output of the city's iron and steel plant to 2 million tons. It is a pity that when the city's iron and steel plant's production capacity reached 400,000 tons, Xiong Wenbin could be transferred out The city's iron and steel plant. Almost six or seven years later, the annual output of the city's iron and steel has only increased by less than 30%," Shen Huai said, "Xiong Wenbin had such ambitions in the mid-1980s, and he will soon run for the 21st century. It's been a century, I think I can't be worse than him, right?"

"Really, Xiong Wenbin is really so powerful in economics?" Sun Yalin didn't know much about Donghua's past, and Yexin Bank had no business relationship with the city's steel mill, so she didn't understand Xiong Wenbin's early management of the city's steel mill. , "But when we acquired Tianheng Building, Xiong Wenbin was a member of the negotiation team, and he was indeed better than Liang Xiaolin and Gu Tong..."

Shen Huai smiled lightly: Tan Qiping despised him, after all, Xiong Wenbin was still available.

In Tan Qiping's heart, most of them also think that Xiong Wenbin's ability to engage in economics is stronger than his. And Xiong Wenbin's level is there. Even after Tan Qiping has mastered the overall situation of Donghua, Xiong Wenbin can directly become the city's deputy mayor who focuses on industrial development, instead of being naturally restricted by age and qualifications like him. After all, he is too young .

"The road still has to be taken step by step," Shen Huai said. "The steel mill will expand the power station this year to increase its own power supply. It will also build a freight wharf and a storage yard here. Only then can it be called the year of the steel mill. The output has reached the edge of 200,000 tons. At this time, the steel will be transported to further regional markets. Whether it is the transportation cost of steel or raw materials, it is even more necessary to pay attention to it..."

Regardless of Shen Huai's unreachable dream, seeing that Shen Huai planned to build a wharf and a storage yard by the Hetang River this year, he knew that his ambition was not small. At present, there is only one freight railway connecting Donghua to other cities, but the end of the railway is in the north of the city, next to the city steel factory, and there are still more than 20 kilometers away from the Meixi steel factory.

Railway transportation is half cheaper than road transportation, and the transportation cost of shipping on the Zhujiang River is only one-third that of railway transportation. Although the cost of building a wharf in Hetang Town and building a sidewalk from the wharf to Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is very high, it will undoubtedly make Meixi Iron and Steel Plant more cost-effective in the future.

Shen Huai didn't say it, but Sun Yalin believed that his first goal should be to suppress the city's steel mill, and told Tan Qiping that he couldn't ignore his existence. Maybe by then, the Sun family and the Song family should pay more attention to examining this unworthy son. ?

It's just that Shen Huai is going to start building a wharf and a yard this year. Where will the tens of millions of funds come from? Sun Yalin suddenly felt like she was on a pirate ship. Wouldn't this kid take Yexin Bank as his ATM?

****************

It has only been two years since Hetang was transformed from a township to a township, and its scale is much smaller than that of Meixi Town. There are only one street, a township, a township, a town junior high school, a machine repair factory, a silk factory, a supply and marketing cooperative, a credit cooperative, a farmers’ market, and zero. Scattered shops dot the street.

During the chūn festival in 1993, there is still a lot of flavor in the New Year. The streets are narrow, but there are firecracker chips everywhere on both sides of the road. There are many children running around the streets with firecrackers, wearing brand-new clothes. Although the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town center and the surrounding stores are still open, there are slightly more people than before.

In Donghua, the chūn festival is almost the only legal time for gambling in a year. People who are busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year rarely relax, and three or five people or more are locked in the house and playing two cards for fun.

Chen Dan remembered how bad his face was when he separated from Shen Huai the day before yesterday, and in the afternoon he took Xiao Li and Chen Tong to the town to call Shen Huai.

Chen Dan went to the door of a store to call a public phone. Someone spread out a piece of cloth on the side of the road to sell celebrity photos. Xiao Li squatted there to pick up popular stars such as Mao Ning and Yang Yuying. Chen Tong sat on the motorcycle that his sister bought him a few years ago. Smoking in the car.

"Isn't this Chen Tong?" A young man with a scar on his face came over. He looked like he was in his early twenties and saw Chen Tong smoking on a motorcycle. He came over and patted his shoulder, touched the **** of the motorcycle, and said, "This motorcycle is really beautiful, but it cost a lot of money, right? I heard that your sister found another wild man in Meixi Town, Even you have developed."

Chen Tong couldn't listen to other people arranging his sister, and suddenly changed, and pushed the young man away: "What do you mean? You **** fight."

"Chen Tong!" Chen Dan saw that Chen Tong was going to fight with others, and couldn't care about the phone call, so he hurried over to hold Chen Tong. She also knew that young man, who was the one who fractured Chen Tong at school at that time. They had resentment against each other. Her family had suffered enough for this, and she didn't want Chen Tong to fight impulsively.

Moreover, this person has three accomplices who are looking at this side of the road, making it clear that they are coming to provoke...

Before he could pick it up, the phone number Chen Dan called yesterday flashed twice on the phone and hung up. Shen Huai thought something happened. Driving over, Shen Huai saw Chen Tong and the four young men staring at each other, and Chen Dan dragged Chen Tong to prevent him from doing it.

"Your sister finds a wild man and raises you too, what are you doing!"

The young man with scars on his face still remembers the current revenge for Chen Tong's broken bones. After that, Chen Tong joined the army~lightnovelpub.net~ and told him to find no chance to seek revenge. This time he met in the town. Arriving, and relying on the fact that there are accomplices in groups, it is naturally extremely insulting, and it is necessary to provoke Chen Tong to take the first shot...

"Bah!"

The scarred-faced young man stood on the curb, didn't notice that a car was driving silently, and suddenly honked the horn twice behind his ears, subconsciously thinking that a car was coming from behind, startling him. When he got down, he lost his balance and fell directly on the front of the car.

Before the scar-faced youth came to ask for help, Shen Huai slammed the car door open, grabbed the scar-faced youth's collar aggressively, and slapped the young man with two slaps: "You don't have **** eyes, you know. How much is my car, you know that my car is going to peel off a piece of paint, and it will take a few years for your mother to sell it before you can afford it?"

The scarred-faced youth gave Shen Huai two slaps, thinking that the two slaps were wrong, but his accomplices saw that Shen Huai was imposing and pompous, and this car obviously looked like a million dollars more than the town. That crown is even more imposing. Knowing that this kind of character is not something they can mess with, they dare not rush up to help, so they want to back down...

The scarred-faced youth touched his swollen face and looked at Shen Huai with a dazed expression, not even daring to say a cruel word.

Shen Huai glared at the scarred-faced youth and said, "It's your mother's luck, next time I will see that you don't have eyes, and you won't be slapped to death..."

Sun Yalin got out of the car, slammed on the car door with great interest, watched Shen Huai teach the little gangsters there, and said with a smile, "How do you know to bully these little gangsters? It's a shame."

Shen Huai ignored Chen Yalin and said to Chen Tong, "Are you going to work overtime in the factory today, why are you not going to fight with this gangster..." Then he waved Chen Dan and Xiao Li in his car.

Only then did the four little gangsters know that the man and woman who drove by were acquainted with sister Chen Tong, but they still didn't dare to rush to do it, so they could only watch Shen Huai and the others drive away arrogantly.
