In Fan Wubing's impression, the most obvious thing about the Japanese controlling the upstream resources is the domestic Baosteel price increase case.

Japan's largest comprehensive trading company, Mitsui Products, has long seen that the Chinese market will drive the spot price of iron ore, thus creating a community of interests such as the new Nippon Steel, Mitsui Products, Merchant Ship Mitsui, Shanghai Baosteel, and Brazilian Vale.

Mitsui's penetration in Baosteel can be traced back to the beginning of Baosteel's establishment. As early as the period when Baosteel was preparing to introduce technical equipment from Japan's largest steel company, Nippon Steel. Mitsui Products owns 20% of the equity of Nippon Steel. At the same time, Toshiba and Ishikawa Shiba Homomo Heavy Industry, the backbone companies of Mitsui Consortium, cooperated with Nippon Steel to become equipment suppliers of Baosteel. From then on, Baosteel could only choose to import iron ore from Australia and Brazil.

According to Japanese people, the steel production equipment provided by Japan is too advanced, so it cannot absorb China's low-grade iron ore. Therefore, Baosteel's raw materials rely on imports to solve the problem.

No one knows whether the steel production equipment made in Japan really cannot digest China's low-grade iron ore, but this has laid a crucial foreshadowing for Chinese steel companies to fall into a future dilemma.

It can be said that Bao has been choked by the Japanese and has to follow their roadmap.

Such examples are emerging in China, which is also the consequence of blindly introducing foreign equipment. In the end, I trap myself and step by step into the trap that others have already designed, and cannot extricate myself.

What Fan Wubing has to do now is to seize the market with foreign companies in China, to seize mineral resources with Japanese companies overseas. Because he knows very well that the Japanese's mineral resource strategy has always been unique. First of all, strangling their throats is equivalent to reducing the pressure on domestic raw materials from the side.

As for how much benefit you will benefit in the future, it goes without saying that. Anyway, no one can afford it, and those grandchildren can't afford it.

In fact, it is not only restricted in the acquisition of iron ore, Baosteel also has Mitsui ancestry in the maritime logistics link. Later, Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation and Japanese Merchant Shipping Mitsui signed a large-scale mine ship with 300,000 tons of Baosteel's Brazil imported mine. Merchant Shipping Mitsui transported more than 10 million tons of iron ore for Baosteel every year.

That is to say, since the day Baosteel was born, Mitsui Technology, the dependence on talents and logistics has been mixed and penetrated into its bones.

The weather in the river is still so bad. The rain has not stopped slightly. Boss Zhu still arrived in Changping in the early morning of the next day.

This time, there were more than a dozen leaders and comrades in the place where Boss Zhu accompanied him. Basically, they were leaders and experts from the National Flood Control Headquarters. After meeting Fan Heng, everyone learned about the flood prevention work of provinces and cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through a video conference at the Jiangnan Provincial Government. Then they visited the Jiangnan Dike to inspect the flood prevention work.

The Jiangnan embankment was also ready at this time. However, after renovating it, it can be said that it is solid. After all, Fan Wubing spared no effort to make the reputation of his father. The building materials used were also real and good things. He knew very well that the flood situation this year would be very serious. He made many special designs for possible local dangers, so he was confident that there would be problems with the Jiangnan embankment.

Besides, if the water level exceeds the cordon too much, he can consider appropriately discharge floods through the Bailushan Reservoir. It is basically empty now. It can greatly reduce the pressure on the Jiangnan embankment.

The leaders were having a meeting there. Song Qing and Fan Wubing sat outside and chatted.

"Have you heard the news about Xiaodaoer?" Song Qing asked Fan Wubing.

"What kind of little news?" Fan Wubing was a little surprised.

Song Qing replied, "Some people say that the reason why the flood situation this time is serious is because of the interception of the Three Gorges. There is a dragon vein. After the dragon vein is moved, the feng shui has changed, so the flood situation in the Yangtze River this year is particularly serious."

Fan Wubing scratched his head and said, "If it is a Feng Shui problem, there is some truth. Originally, this is caused by the El Niño phenomenon and the soil erosion problem in the upper reaches. It is related to wind and water, and it is naturally a Feng Shui problem."

When they said this, Boss Zhu and others were just finished meetings. When they heard Fan Wubing chatting here, they asked, "What is the theory that Mr. Fan is publishing?"

"Just talk about it-" Fan Wubing stood up, shook hands with Boss Zhu, and then looked at the people following him. There were one or two acquaintances inside. After saying hello, he asked, "Now the flood situation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is serious. As an important domestic enterprise, especially enterprises with many branches in Jiangnan, our Fan Investment Group has the obligation to contribute its own strength to flood prevention work. If there are places where we need to contribute our efforts and money, we must help solve it as much as possible."

Boss Zhu nodded and said, "I have never been pregnant with this. If you hadn't discovered it earlier, the situation of the Jiangnan dike at this time would be much more dangerous than the Jingjiang dike."

There is a reason why Boss Zhu and others said this. Just now, through the latest satellite cloud map of the National Meteorological Observatory and the National Flood Control Corporation, the rainstorm weather will not have much improvement in the past two weeks, especially the rain is moving towards the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. By then, the total flooding of the entire Yangtze River will reach an unprecedented peak, bringing greater pressure to the flood prevention work in the middle and lower reaches.

It can be imagined that if it weren't for the case of a nest in Jiangnan Province, and if the secretary and the governor were both dismissed, it wouldn't be Fan Heng's turn to come to take charge of the overall situation, and wouldn't have discovered the problem of the Jiangnan embankment, and then there was a rebuilding of the embankment. Then, judging by the quality of the building that could use hands to open the surface of the embankment, this first wave of flood peaks could completely destroy the Jiangnan embankment.

When the senior officials think of this situation, they are quite frightened. If the Jiangnan dike is destroyed, at least tens of millions of people in Jiangnan Province will suffer serious losses.

You should know that the country's investment in the Jingjiang embankment is much more than that in the Jiangnan embankment. However, there have been many dangers in the Jingjiang embankment, which is heartbreaking. In comparison, the pressure under the Jiangnan embankment is no less than that in the Jingjiang embankment, the Jiangnan embankment, but there is no danger in the Jiangnan embankment. What does it mean?

The senior management is already a little worried about the construction of the Jingjiang embankment. Who knows if it is the same as the original Jiangnan embankment, with bright light outside and loose inside?

"We are going to go to the Jingjiang Dike to see. Do you want to go there together?" Boss Zhu asked Fan Wubing.

“There are too many people

I won’t join in the fun anymore.” Fan Wubing glanced at the attendants and said to Boss Zhu.

"There are three helicopters, and I heard that you have some experience in flood prevention, so I just happened to give you references. Now I am brainstorming.

"Boss Zhu said.

"Oh, then I'll take a seat." Fan Wubing nodded and agreed.

Three helicopters soon flew to the Jingjiang dike. When Boss Zhu, Fan Heng and others came down, they immediately aroused cheers from the people guarding the dike and the soldiers. At this important juncture of flood control and flood prevention, the emergence of the leaders of the Party and the state can certainly increase morale and inspire motivation.

Boss Zhu stood up and reached the big iron cow in the distance, so he pointed at it and said, "You must keep the iron cow and don't let it wash away the flood."

The big iron bull was the god of water control. There were ten of them at the beginning, and nine of them had been washed away by previous floods. It was the only one left, and it can be regarded as a symbol on the Jingjiang River embankment.

Fan Wubing had never seen this iron cow before, so he walked over and looked, touched it, and saw that the big iron cow stood in front and squatted back and moved forward, and became a lion rising up, holding his head and hissing, and his eyes wide open, becoming a tiger looking down. It seemed that he was always ready to jump up and jump into the turbulent Yangtze River, and fight against the demons and monsters in the flood, with great power to conquer the Yangtze River.

While walking on the embankment, Boss Zhu said to Fan Wubing, "The protection scope of the Jingjiang embankment includes north of the Jingjiang River, south of the Han River, east to Xintan Town, west to the vast Jingbei Plain area of ​​the Juzhang River, protecting more than 11 million mu of arable land, more than 10 million people, as well as a number of important towns such as Jingzhou and Jianghan Oilfields. Once the embankment breaks, not only will the Jingbei Plain become a ze country, but it will also threaten the safety of Wuhan City and nearby transportation trunks, which may disrupt the deployment of the entire national economy."

Wubing asked curiously, "I heard that the most severe flood situation was the flood that occurred in the 1950s. Was that time very serious?"

When an official from the National Flood Control Headquarters next to Boss Zhu saw that Boss Zhu had a close relationship with Fan Wubing, he interrupted, "It was in 1954 that there were more than 2,400 dangerous situations in Jingjiang dike, including 125 slopes, 51 cracks, more than 300 muddy water holes, more than 1,400 clear water holes, 33 waves, and 68 pipe surges. Among them, there were more than 50 vicious and major dangerous situations. The Jingjiang flood diversion area was used three times that year, and accumulated more than 10 billion cubic meters of flood water storage, lowering the water level in Shashi by nearly one meter, so that the Jingjiang dike could safely survive the flood season."

"This flood situation will not be much worse than in May 4th, or it may be even worse!" Boss Zhu said with great concern.

"Please rest assured, the leader, all our military and civilians work together to ensure that the Jingjiang dike is solid!" A person in charge on the Jingjiang dike expressed his confidence to Boss Zhu with confidence.

"I hope so." Boss Zhu nodded.

Fan Wubing stood on the embankment and looked around and found slogans everywhere, such as guarding the dead, fighting the Yangtze River, and swearing to live and die together with the embankment, and looking very atmosphere.

Some of the dangerous places are also established letters of responsibility, and those who are in charge of the letter of letter of determination, and some other things. Basically, there are dedicated people responsible for each section of the dike.

After looking for a while, Boss Zhu asked, "I heard that you have a lot of flood control materials there. Can you use them evenly first? At present, the flooding near Jingzhou is also quite serious and a large amount of flood control material is urgently needed."

Fan Wubing nodded in agreement, "I prepared for flood prevention, so there is no problem, but these things are now considered to be supported by Jiangnan Province. If you want to use them, you have to count this account on my father and the others."

Boss Zhu understood Fan Wubing’s meaning and nodded and said, “Well, it would be better if I borrowed it from Jiangnan Province.”

In fact, after this incident, a consensus has been formed within the senior management. Fan Heng and his son have made great contributions to this year's flood prevention work. The safety of the Jiangnan embankment directly affects the lives and property safety of tens of millions of people. Now the Jiangnan embankment is as solid as a solid foundation, which is equivalent to sharing a lot of pressure for the Jingjiang embankment. If the pressure on the Jingjiang embankment is too high, we can also share part of the flood for them by discharged floods to Bailushan Reservoir.

In view of this, some old comrades and members of the Standing Committee believe that Comrade Fan Heng has a strong sense of overall situation and has made great contributions, and has fully possessed the ability to go further. However, considering the current severe domestic situation, it is not appropriate to make any important adjustments. Everything will be discussed after the flood prevention work this year is over.

Therefore, although Boss Zhu knew that Fan Wubing was preparing political achievements for his father, he did not say anything he disagreed with, the most important thing now is to protect the tens of millions of fellow villagers along the Yangtze River embankment, and everything else is a trivial matter.

Fan Wubing looked at the environment of the Jingjiang dike and then took the initiative to say, "I have recently built some large-scale engineering equipment, which is also useful for guarding the dike. However, how should these people be used, it is best to have a central allocation."

"It's the equipment you won by betting with others?" Boss Zhu smiled when he heard this.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Hehe, if someone wants to bet with me, I have no choice. The money I deliver to my door cannot be released, right? However, experience in Jiangnan Province shows that large-scale mechanized operations are much more efficient than manual labor."

"Thank you for that." Boss Zhu nodded and said.

Fan Wubing felt that Boss Zhu was not very in high spirits. He followed his eyes to the river and found that the smoke was vast and the water vapor was misty. The water level of the Yangtze River was rising, and the precipitation in the sky had never stopped. Not only did it suppress people so much that they could not breathe, but it also made everyone feel that the continuous rise in the water level was an irrefutable fact.

"It is very likely that it will be rainy within a month." Boss Zhu said worriedly.
Chapter completed!
