Reborn 80s

Chapter 688 The depressed steel industry

After the lively annual economic meeting, Chen Huaiqing did not return to Yuzhou immediately, but stayed in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng can be said to be one of the birthplaces of modern industry in China.

There is also a considerable connection with Yuzhou.

For example, the predecessor of Yuzhou Iron and Steel was the Hanyang Iron Works that moved westward.

Of course, the current steel company in Jiangcheng is Jiangcheng Iron and Steel. Chen Huaiqing still knows a little about this company and knows that it will merge with Baosteel in the future to form the world's largest steel conglomerate.

For Jiangcheng Iron and Steel at this time, the good days seem to be coming to an end.

Since last year, the steel market has begun to undergo dramatic changes.

The steel that I had no worries about selling has actually begun to become unsalable.

After the real estate bubble burst on the South China Sea Island, it inevitably affected the real estate market in other places.

The huge real estate development industry suddenly became quiet.

Market demand is weak, but in the past few years, the demand for steel has been quite high, so various steel plants have naturally worked hard to expand production capacity.

A steel plant cannot shut down the furnace casually. It will cost a lot of money to shut down the furnace once and then restart production.

Therefore, in many cases, steel plants are still producing even if they are losing money.

Once produced and unable to be sold, naturally they can only be piled in the warehouse.

Piling up in the warehouse means that a large amount of money is held in the warehouse.

Anyway, when there is a surplus of steel, it is extremely difficult to reduce production capacity.

Other industries can stop production casually, but not the steel industry.

"Director Chen, you have to help me!"

Chen Huaiqing: "Liu Sheng, how do you want me to help you?"

I looked at the piles of various steel products in the warehouse, including rebar, steel coils, and steel ingots placed outside.

Chen Huaiqing naturally understood that he wanted to help him find sales.

If you find a market, it's easy.

Dongmo Real Estate is the largest real estate development company in the country and requires a lot of construction rebar every year.

The commercial landlords developed by Dongmo Real Estate focus on one quality.

The reinforced concrete is definitely full of materials.

In addition to Dongmo Real Estate, pension fund companies have never stopped building public rental housing across the country.

Pension fund companies now invest not only in building public rental housing, but also in building office buildings, commercial shops, etc.

In terms of fixed asset investment, pension fund companies really prefer to do it.

Chen Huaiqing’s goal is to allow pension fund companies to become the largest landlords in the country and collect rents with peace of mind.

When it comes to the largest landlords in the country, pension fund companies are really the ones right now.

Pension fund companies hold nearly 300 million square meters of residential housing in major cities across the country.

Pension fund companies have built large-scale public rental housing in cities, which has greatly alleviated the housing problem in cities.

Previously, when pension fund companies were promoted nationwide, they took over many urban plots and shops from various places.

Now, it is gradually and continuously developed.

Many of them have been built into modern residential areas or commercial streets.

It has greatly improved the image of the city.

In addition to these land parcels, the pension fund company previously acquired a lot of land in the suburbs of the city, and is now beginning to develop it one after another.

As long as Jiangcheng Iron and Steel can capture a few big customers, it won't have to worry about sales.

Your little life will suddenly become easier.

It can be said that as long as there are a few big customers, we can directly guarantee the harvest despite droughts and floods, and do a good job in production with peace of mind.

Chen Huaiqing and Liu Shenggui were relatively familiar with each other. In the early years, Liu Shenggui worked in the ministry and Chen Huaiqing had already dealt with him.

At that time, Liu Shenggui helped Chen Huaiqing a lot.

Chen Huaiqing naturally kept this in mind.

If you owe someone a favor, you have to pay it back.

When people come to you for help, it doesn't violate any principles, and it's something you can help easily.

If he didn't help, people would spread the word, and Chen Huaiqing's reputation would be damaged.

Reputation is something that the more people with some social status value it, the more they value it.

When you reach a certain level, you will understand how important this reputation is.

Let’s talk about the brand!

Everyone knows the importance of brand.

Every company carefully maintains its brand image.

Personal reputation is actually equivalent to a personal "brand"!

Liu Shenggui: "Help me purchase some, not too much, just 30,000 tons."

Liu Shenggui naturally knows that there are two steel plants under Mota Holdings.

Yuzhou Steel and Yuzhou Special Steel.

The steel with the highest productivity in Yuzhou includes automobile steel and construction steel.

The current production capacity of Yuzhou Steel has reached 8 million tons.

As for Yuzhou Special Steel, this steel company mainly produces high-end steel that is used in the field of machinery manufacturing. For example, the steel for aircraft landing gear is produced by Yuzhou Special Steel.

In addition, Yuzhou Special Steel also produces tank armor steel, gun barrel steel, submarine steel, etc.

In the past, Yuzhou Special Steel was known as the mother of all industries in Southwest China.

After Mota Holdings took over, it continued to increase technology research and development. In addition, previously, a large amount of metallurgical data was transferred from the former alliance.

There is a lot of metallurgical information that simply cannot be bought with money.

With this information, the materials that Yuzhou Special Steel can produce will naturally be greatly improved.

Yuzhou Special Steel now produces 2 million tons of special steel annually, and its production plant is right next to Yuzhou Steel.

After several years of relocation, the two factories have now all moved to Zhi County.

For Zhi County, after the establishment of two steel plants, the economy was suddenly boosted.

In addition, Zhi County has abundant limestone, and the cement industry is also developing quite well.

Producing cement, the pollution is still quite serious.

Dust equipment and so on should naturally be installed as soon as possible.

Chen Huaiqing didn't want to be pointed at or scolded.

After moving the steel factory away from the main urban area, Yuzhou also started to move other factories.

Factories with serious pollution should be kept away from the main city.

The other is the control of corporate pollution, especially pollution from chemical plants.

Pollution from chemical plants is considered the most serious.

It is directly visible to people at a glance.

Chen Huaiqing's face was filled with surprise. Was it 30,000 tons?

Is it more than 30,000 tons?

Indeed there are many.

But really speaking, it's not much.

You know, Mota Energy is constantly investing in the construction of hydropower stations in Sichuan!

Each hydropower station requires a lot of steel and cement.

Mota Energy is now rich. The electricity it produces every year is not only sufficient for local consumption in Sichuan, but is also transported to other areas through long-distance high-voltage transmission lines.

An ultra-long-distance power transmission line has now been planned to directly transmit power from Sichuan to the Yangtze River Delta region.

This is also the transmission line with the longest transmission distance in China, with a total length of more than 1,700 kilometers.

There is no reference for such long-distance power transmission in the world.

The Chinese have to face this extremely difficult technical challenge alone.
