Chapter 21 Tens of thousands of tons of blast furnace slag

“Taozi, when are you planning to leave next time?” The shipyard was still in full swing, and Wang Jianguo ran over eagerly, nodding and bowing.

 He came here to get money. The scrap iron from ship dismantling was sold to the Mingzhou Iron and Steel Works, and the payment was in cash. Therefore, after a few trucks of scrap iron were delivered, the shipyard already had a fund, and the Mingzhou Garment Factory could quickly get it. Their payment was made.

Wang Jianguo was very happy after getting the money. At the same time, he was urging Qin Tao. After all, there were still a lot of clothes in their factory! You have to sell them all. This hope, of course, rests on Qin Tao.

"By the way, Pan Jinhua has been fired from the factory. Now everyone in the factory respects Director Cao. If this money is distributed, they will respect the leader even more." Wang Jianguo continued.

Qin Tao shook his head: "I can't go yet."

"ah?"

"We at the shipyard have to settle down. We have no experience in dismantling a ship for the first time." Qin Tao said: "I am afraid of a production accident, so I have to watch it personally. The ship design institute has not yet handed over the drawings. We, we can't continue to build the ship. I have to wait until the ship is dismantled and the construction of the new ship is on track before I can go on the second trip. It will probably take a few months."

Wang Jianguo had a black line on his face.

“However, the old man has promised you 300,000 yuan. Your factory has been able to recover. You should be able to afford it in a few months.” Qin Tao said.

“No, that’s not possible. If the inventory cannot be cleared, the factory cannot start making new clothes. The factory cannot remain idle forever,” Wang Jianguo said.

They would not dare to do foreign trade business again even if they were beaten to death. Once they were cheated, the goods would not be sold, so now, they are very busy.

"Why is the factory idle?" Qin Tao said: "If there is no business, then make suits!"

"Suit?"

"Yes, big lapels, two rows of buttons, high shoulder pads." Qin Tao said: "If you don't have samples, just go to the market and buy a few sets and just copy them. They are guaranteed to sell well. By the way, you need to design a trademark. Give it a name, something like Rich, Hilton or something like that, in short, something high-end and grand."

 In the 1990s, garment factories were still worrying about what kind of clothing they should make? Of course it’s a suit!

The Chinese tunic suit in previous years has gone out of fashion. The whole society is looking to the West, and the same goes for wearing clothes. When you put on a suit, you will feel very fashionable and fashionable. Even the old farmers are wearing a suit when they go to the fields. of!

 If everyone has a suit, just think about it and you will know how big the market is. Yes, everyone has one. Not only men, but also women like to wear suits. The sewing shops in the streets and alleys all make suits. (I also wore it, wearing a cotton coat underneath and a suit outside. The style was really low when I think about it now. I was very flattered at the time and felt very classy.)

 The advantages of garment factories are concentrated production and low prices, so they are sure to be popular.

While talking, Liu Minggang rode over on his Happiness 250.

Today he is beaming with joy.

“Uncle Liu, what happened? To make you happy like this, is it because you picked up money?” Qin Tao looked at Liu Minggang curiously.

"That's right, you just picked up money!" Liu Minggang was quite excited: "You know? There are tens of thousands of tons of blast furnace **** piled up in our factory, and someone actually wants it, and the price given is not low. Every ton is given to us. Twenty, now, our factory can earn 200,000 yuan at once! I have decided to use this money to purchase second-hand hot-rolled steel plate equipment from domestic steel plants that have stopped production, and our factory will also make steel plates!"

During its decades of history, the Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant has smelted tens of thousands of tons of blast furnace slag. Those things were piled up in the open space next to the steel plant, forming hills. When Qin Tao was a child, he also I am very envious of my friends going there to play.

 But now, when Liu Minggang said this, Qin Tao suddenly frowned, and the memories of his previous life entered his brain.

Under the leadership of Liu Minggang, Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant experienced a period of glory. However, as the country's environmental awareness increased, various small steel-making plants were closed one after another, and Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant was completely shut down.

The tens of thousands of tons of waste blast furnace **** in the factory has become a long-standing problem for the city. No one wants it. In order to sell it, the city asked a professional organization to test this batch of waste slag. It was found that the **** It contains several rare metals, especially scandium!

Scandium is a very rare rare metal raw material with a wide range of uses. For example, adding just a few thousandths of scandium to an aluminum alloy will generate a new phase of Al3Sc, and the structure and properties will change significantly. For example, the recrystallization temperature is increased by two hundred degrees, and the high-temperature strength, structural stability, welding performance and corrosion resistance are significantly improved.

This rare metal even has huge uses in aerospace technology because it has excellent high-temperature resistance.

 With current domestic technology, these rare metals cannot be detected.

“Where are the customers from?” Qin Tao asked.

"They are from the island country, they are called village entrances, etc., they specialize in purchasing waste blast furnace **** in our country." Liu Minggang said: "I called him, and then mailed our blast furnace **** samples to them, and they gave us Quoted a good price.”

 Sure enough, foreigners came to China to pick up the missing items! Qin Tao had a sneer in his heart. It was okay for the other party to buy it. After all, he did not have the technology to extract the rare metals inside. However, there was no way to take advantage!

 Qin Tao did not directly explain to Liu Minggang that there were good things in the blast furnace slag. After all, no one would believe it even if he told it, and it would not be able to detect it even if it was tested. Therefore, we can only change the way.

“Uncle Liu, how did you talk? Do you understand the island dialect?”

“Of course I don’t understand. There are translators provided by the foreign affairs department.”

“Uncle Liu, you have to be careful. There are not many good translators. What if you are cheated? Look at our Mingzhou Garment Factory, haven’t we been cheated?”

 Liu Minggang's face became serious.

Qin Tao is right, foreigners don’t have many good things. The Mingzhou Garment Factory is an example. The contract was clearly negotiated, but as a result, the other party didn’t want the clothes after they were produced! The garment factory was almost brought down.

Now, if foreigners come to buy his blast furnace slag, will there be any pitfalls? After all, that thing is of no use at all. It can only be used to pave roads. Are the people from the island country going to come all the way to buy that thing? Should we go back and reclaim the land?

“However, I don’t know anyone who can speak the island’s dialect. It’s too late to look for him now. They will come to sign the contract in the afternoon.” Liu Minggang said.

“Uncle Liu, I know how to do it!” Qin Tao said, “I’ll go with you in the afternoon. We can’t let the islanders trick us.”
