On July 5th, Fang Mingyuan was dragged by his father Fang Shengqiang to the headquarters of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation in Fengyuan. Although Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation had been established for several years, Fang Mingyuan had never been there once.

In late June, the news that Japan's Mazda Motor Company intended to come to Qinxi Province to build a factory officially spread in the province when a vice president of Mazda Motor Company came with a Japanese inspection team.

The ecstatic Qinxi Province, on the one hand, warmly received representatives of Mazda Motor Company, and on the other hand, it also actively considered how to ensure that Mazda Motor Company's joint venture factory would remain in the province.

Li Ziqiang and others also understand that the reason why Mazda Motor Company is interested in Qinxi Province is largely because Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd. can be said to have initially formed a complete set of automobiles in Qinxi Province.

Parts production system. Basically, in addition to tires and engines that need to be purchased from outside the province, other parts, including vehicle steel plates, can be purchased locally. Setting up the factory in Qinxi Province can increase the speed of localization of their products.

, saving time and costs. At the same time, the main sales targets of the products are also inland provinces - Mazda Motor Company also has a joint venture in Qionghai Province, and its products are mainly supplied to the market in coastal areas.

However, although these auto parts manufacturers are not industries under the Fang family, Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd. still provided certain technical support during their establishment process, and Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd. watched

By the end of this year, the third phase of the project is completed, and its annual output will increase to one million vehicles, making it one of the domestic automobile companies with the highest annual output. Mazda Motor Company is building a factory in Qinxi Province with an unknown annual output.

But it will definitely reach one million units. Therefore, without the approval of Qinchuan Samsung Motors Co., Ltd., these parts manufacturers dare not supply to Mazda Motor Company without authorization.

Moreover, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company is also a company controlled by the Fang family. The production technology of automotive steel plates was also brought into the company by the Fang family. The reason why Mazda Motor Company chose Qinxi Province as the target for building the factory is that it can purchase vehicles nearby.

The use of steel plates is also one of the important factors.

Therefore, the attitude of the Fang family is very important for whether Mazda Motor Company can successfully establish its presence in Qinxi Province. If the Fang family holds a clear opposition attitude, then it is impossible for Mazda Motor Company to successfully establish its presence in Qinxi Province.

Therefore, in these days, the leaders of Qinxi Province informed the Fang family through various channels - Su Aijun did not take the initiative to reveal to them that Fang Mingyuan did not care about Mazda Motor Company's establishment in Fengtong area. Such a good seller

How can one not pursue maximizing profits when given the chance of favor? Moreover, the news that Qinchuan Samsung Motors Co., Ltd. is about to launch the fourth phase of the project has not been spread to the outside world.

In the minds of Li Ziqiang and Wang Guoxing, the Fang family would naturally not be willing to have another competitor around them. Even Mazda Motor Company itself was also in contact with the Fang family, hoping to reach an understanding, and even expressed its willingness to cooperate with the Fang family.

Willingness to cooperate comes.

As for Fang Sheng, he naturally knew that his son did not take Mazda Motor Company's arrival seriously, and he simply did not consider Mazda Motor Company's demand for vehicle steel plates. The fourth phase of the Qinchuan Samsung Motor Co., Ltd. project was completed.

In the future, the demand for automotive steel plates will reach a new level. Therefore, the expansion of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company can be said to be imperative! Ever since Fang Mingyuan and he passed the agreement, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company has been

We are considering the company's expansion of production capacity.

As for the Qinxi Provincial Government, it is naturally happy to see Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company continue to expand its production capacity. As a company with state-owned capital participation, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company can be said to be one of the few companies that has consistently performed well in recent years.

The growth of provincial enterprises, and the greater the automotive steel plate production capacity of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company, the greater the attraction for Mazda Motor Company. Therefore, we still support the expansion requirements of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company.

However, they also have a head-scratching problem to solve. The Fang family has formally made a request to increase capital to Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company. If they do not want the shareholding ratio of state-owned capital in Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company to decrease,

It is necessary to spend a large amount of real money to invest in Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, but how can Qinxi Provincial Finance have so much spare money!

"You've created a problem for Secretary Li, Governor Wang and the others this time." Fang Sheng led Fang Mingyuan inside and laughed softly.

"We can't let them always hide behind and take dividends without working. Besides, to meet the large demand for vehicle steel plates from Qinchuan Samsung Motors Co., Ltd. and Mazda Motor Company in the future, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company must

If we are going to significantly increase steel production capacity in the next two or three years and rely entirely on bank loans for such a large investment, when will we have to pay it back?" Fang Mingyuan chuckled, "Of course, if they are willing to watch.

This profit was taken away by Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group, and I have no objection."

Just ten days ago, Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Corporation was officially established, including the former Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Plant, the newly constructed Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant, as well as the acquired Tangfeng Iron and Steel Company, Jindong Iron and Steel Company, and Banbihe Iron and Steel Company.

Company, Tangshan Fengrui Steel Company, which was formed by the merger of seven companies, Tingsong Steel Company, Tangshan Jianlong Steel Company, Huasheng Longxing Steel Company, and Xingrui Steel Company, and two medium-sized enterprises acquired by Liao Provincial Steel Plant in Liao Province

Steel plant. The annual steel production exceeds 42 million tons. It has become the largest steel production company in China.

Among them, the Fang family held 45% of the shares. The Guo family, Zheng family, and Li family of Hong Kong each took 10% of the shares. The remaining shares were held by Su, Chai, Mei, and Lu.

, Zong and other domestic allies shared. In addition to ordinary steel, the products produced also include steel plates for ships and cars, high-carbon bars, high-strength oil pipes, high-pressure boiler pipes, and special steels.

Much-needed high value-added products. Although its official establishment was not publicized in the media, and no state-owned capital entered it, being too high-profile will always attract the hatred of some people, and they have always been good at fanning the flames in the media.

People who did not know the truth caused unnecessary trouble. However, the establishment of Liao Iron and Steel Group Company still caused a huge shock in the domestic steel industry.

The annual steel production of a steel company exceeds 40 million tons, which is the first in China. More importantly, among the products of Liao Iron and Steel Group Company, high value-added products account for a large proportion, which means

This means that its profit margin will be much higher than the industry average. I don’t know how many people are coveting the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company, but when I think of the shareholders of the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company, there are three major families in Hong Kong, as well as domestic

Several big families in China have to think twice even if they want to stretch out their claws.

"Hey, they are definitely not willing." Fang Sheng shook his head and said, not to mention that this would affect the group company's dividends, just the loss of jobs was enough to make Li Ziqiang and Wang Guoxing firmly opposed.

"Then things will be easier to handle. If you don't want to, then just increase the capital. If you can't do it, then you can only adjust the company's share ratio." Fang Mingyuan said with an indifferent expression. Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company due to state-owned capital

It accounts for almost 40% of the shares, so it is making a lot of

When making decisions, they had to take into account the attitude of the province, and they were a little timid on many things. Fang Mingyuan originally did not have high hopes for Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, but his father became more and more ambitious, and he, as his son

Yes, it is natural to clear some obstacles for him.

The two of them walked towards the building while talking. When the headquarters employees they met along the way saw Fang Sheng, they all stood up and shouted "Hello, Chairman", which seemed to be a bit like a big boss. Of course, everyone did not

Will ignore Fang Mingyuan who is walking side by side with Fang Sheng? Many people are speculating on Fang Mingyuan's identity. He is able to walk side by side with Fang Sheng at such a young age. Could it be that he is a descendant of a high-ranking official from above?

Fang Mingyuan and his party entered the chairman's office, and someone came forward and asked in a low voice: "Assistant Dong, who is this person accompanying the chairman? Come here. Those female compatriots in our company are simply

Everyone was stunned."

Fang Sheng's assistant Dong Shangwu is a tall man in his thirties, from Qinxi Province. He studied in Japan and later worked in a steel factory in Japan. The steel factory was annexed by the Fang family during the financial crisis. Qin

After the establishment of Xi Province Iron and Steel Group Company, Lin Lian specially selected him to send him back to China to assist Fang Sheng. Although he is now Fang Sheng's assistant

, Fang Sheng also promised that when the time is right, he will be transferred to a certain department of the company to take charge of his own role. If he does a good job, he may even be given the title of deputy general manager. As Fang Sheng's assistant, Dong Shangwu is naturally

After getting to know Fang Mingyuan, I understand even more how much amazing wealth this young man controls and what kind of influence he has in the province.

Dong Shangwu smiled and said: "It can't be said that there are confidentiality regulations." In fact, Fang Mingyuan at this time is very similar to Fang Sheng when he was young, but Fang Sheng has gained some weight in recent years due to his superior life, and his face also has the Chinese character "Xiang".

As for the development trend, Fang Mingyuan never liked to appear in public, so no one thought of this.

"Hey, some big shot's descendants, if any of them are taken a liking to, they will fly to the branches and become phoenixes." Someone babbled, signaling Dong Shangwu to pay attention to the offices on the floor where there was a lot of discussion and bright eyes.

The clerks. Dong Shangwu smiled. This man is indeed the son of a big shot, the prince of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company. However, Fang Mingyuan is considered a "big shot" himself, so naturally he doesn't need to pull anyone's skin.

Make a banner.

Fang Sheng's office is not very big, only fifty or sixty square meters, and is divided into an office area and a reception area. There is also a door that leads to the lounge next door.

"Mingyuan, how is the Tangshan steel industry cleanup site?" Fang Sheng sat on the sofa and asked casually. It would take some time before Dong Shangwu notified other company executives to come up for a meeting. He just happened to ask Fang Mingyuan about the situation in Tangshan.

"With the strong support from government departments, it's going smoothly," Fang Mingyuan said. Tangshan City is now cleaning up those iron and steel companies with backward technology and high pollution in its jurisdiction. With this piece of tiger skin for the Beijing Olympics, plus production capacity

Larger steel companies have been incorporated. Tangshan Steel Group and

Jingcheng Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., which is about to relocate to Tangshan, is also happy to see the reduction of competitors. Although there is still resistance, no one dares to blatantly obstruct it. Of course, with the contraction of money and the general slump in the domestic steel industry, it is also necessary to clean up

One of the important reasons why work goes smoothly.

"Everyone has had a hard time in the past six months." Fang Sheng sighed. If Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company hadn't had two major customers, Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd. and Longxing Construction Group, plus the provincial

There are many infrastructure projects, and life is also difficult. No

Even so, the price of ordinary steel products has dropped by nearly a quarter compared to the peak last year, and the company's profits have shrunk significantly. He can fully imagine that in other provinces in the country, those small and medium-sized companies that do not have competitive products

The current bleak situation of steel companies.

"Life is hard, and I want to remind everyone of the importance of technological upgrading." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Low value-added products can still make money in good economic times, but once there is overcapacity, this is the end.

"Although the steel industry has generally experienced a recession this year, the impact on high value-added products has not been significant. Member companies of the Special Steel Association generally have good profits.

"Technological upgrading is easy to say, but not easy to do." Fang Sheng shook his head. Everyone knows the truth, but if you really have to spend real money to invest in research and development, how many companies can do it?

With such courage, Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. is also considered a leader in the steel industry in the inland northwest region, but its technological upgrading depends largely on the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute.

Today, the annual R&D funding of the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute exceeds 3 billion yuan, and it has become a behemoth with more than 2,300 researchers of various types, with a total headcount of nearly 3,000. Fang Sheng does not know those with state support.

What scale can a research institution achieve? But at least among private research institutions, Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute has become one of the top ones in the country.
