"Fang Jun, you are so compassionate!" Naru Nakatani, chairman of Japan Steel Engineering Holding Company, smiled as soon as he sat down. A few days ago, the scene at the press conference of Asahi Film Company has caused an uproar in Japanese society.

Compared with previous scandals, it can be said that she is not in the same weight class at all. Xinheng Yui has become the most watched actress in the Japanese entertainment industry these days. Those media who pursue circulation and attention can’t wait to mention it.

Three generations of her grandparents have been turned upside down.

In the past, Xinheng Yui and the economic company ignored the scandal, which originally made many people dissatisfied. But now, it has become her virtue because the media and the Japanese people know Fang Mingyuan's weird temper.

First of all, it is logical that Xinheng Yui does not explain the man's identity.

The increase in popularity and attention will naturally bring many benefits to celebrities, the most intuitive of which is advertising endorsements. In just a few days, two well-known Japanese companies have announced that Xinheng Yui will

Become its advertising spokesperson in 2011. As for whether there will be more advertising endorsement opportunities, we will soon know in the coming days.

Of course, there will also be some more alternative voices. For example, some people spoke on the Internet, asking Xinheng Yui to work hard to win over Fang Mingyuan and ask him to become Japan's son-in-law. Fang Mingyuan's marriage was very low-key, with only high-level people participating.

, but ordinary people don’t know. In addition, Fang Mingyuan rarely appeared in the media in the past. In recent years, there have been only a handful of women who have interacted with him, so it is not surprising that such voices appear.

"President Zhongtani is joking, but beautiful things are always worthy of everyone's careful maintenance." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Don't you think that child's smile will make people feel good?"

Zhonggu Ming was startled for a moment, turned his head and thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Fang Jun, you still have a keen eye, and your evaluation is spot on." Although Fang Mingyuan is not much older than Xinheng Yui, he still calls him a child.

Nakatani Mingyi didn't feel any violation at all.

The topic about Xinheng Yui is just a side dish to lighten the atmosphere before the main topic begins. Nakatani Mingyi came to see Fang Mingyuan not for such a trivial matter. The cooperation between Japan Steel Engineering Holding Company and Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company has already

For several years, Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd., a joint investment and construction company between the two, has been put into operation. Even though it has been hit by the economic crisis, it has still achieved gratifying results, which makes Japan Steel Engineering Holdings very satisfied. This time Nakatani Mingyi asked to see Fang Mingyuan.

I just want to continue to expand cooperation between the two parties and seek greater benefits.

"Fang Jun, the seaport development in Russia's Primorsky Krai is now nearing completion. We think that Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. can consider expanding its production capacity?" Zhonggu Ming said. The benefits of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. are somewhat extraordinary.

Contrary to the expectations of Japan Steel Engineering Holding Company, a very important point is that Fang Mingyuan opened up the sea channel of Russia's Primorsky Territory. Now, 30% of the import and export goods in Qingshan Province can go to sea through the port of Russia's Primorsky Territory.

.Although it is said that going to sea from the port in Primorsky Krai requires paying certain fees to Russia and some more expenses, but overall, especially time, it is a huge saving. Russia is now deeply hit by the economic crisis. In the international market

, although the price of crude oil has rebounded, there is still a big gap compared with the peak price before the outbreak of the economic crisis. As a border region of Russia, the economy of Primorye Krai has been more severely affected, and the ruble has

There was a clear depreciation.

After the development and opening of the seaport in Primorsky Krai, the import and export capabilities will be greatly enhanced. Japan Steel Engineering Holdings once made a rough estimate that the number of goods shipped to the sea from Aoyama Province can increase to 60%.

There is more than enough. In this way, it will not only alleviate the pressure on import and export goods at several ports in Liao Province, but also play a stronger role in promoting the economic development of Qingshan Province.

Moreover, the Fang family's huge investment in Qingshan Province has slowly revealed its powerful driving force for the economy of Qingshan Province. The demand for steel products is constantly expanding, especially for some high value-added steel products for which China's domestic production capacity is insufficient.

, there has been a significant increase in the number of imports. According to surveys and estimates by relevant departments of Japan Steel Engineering Holdings, this trend will continue for a long time if no major accidents occur.

Moreover, Japan's local steel market is still in a very sluggish state, while labor costs are still rising. In order to seek more profits, the board of directors of Japan Steel Engineering Holdings intends to further transfer production capacity to China.

The good performance of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. naturally came into their sight first. Although the economic status of the three northeastern provinces has obviously declined in China, some advantages of the three northeastern provinces cannot be ignored. For example, here

There are a large number of mature industrial workers. For example, the labor cost here is lower than that on the southeast coast, and it is also closer to Japan. After opening up the sea channel to Russia's Primorsky Krai, the import and export trade here is not what it was before.

Having to go through the ports in Liao Province not only reduces costs, but more importantly, the transportation time is greatly reduced.

Although investment in the three northeastern provinces often encounters many problems of one kind or another, these are generally encountered by small investors. When investing in huge group companies such as Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Corporation and Japan Steel Engineering Holdings Corporation,

And with foreign investment status, it goes directly to the leadership of the provincial government. If the people below dare to go too far on the project, it is not just talk.

Moreover, Japan Steel Engineering Holding Company believes that it is necessary to further strengthen cooperation with Liao Provincial Steel Group Company. Although it is good to be alone, having a strong ally can avoid a lot of troubles in many cases. Moreover,

This also facilitates the products of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. to be included in the purchase lists of other companies under the Fang family. This is also a quite amazing sales channel that makes Japan Steel Engineering Holdings Co., Ltd. even covet it.

"How much does Chairman Zhonggu plan to expand?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Although the domestic steel industry is limiting the production capacity and eliminating backward production capacity, it is not a problem for Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. to expand its production capacity. The domestic steel industry has a surplus of low-end products.

High-end products with high added value still have to be imported in large quantities. Naturally, it is impossible for the Japanese Steel Engineering Holding Company to join forces with the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company to invest in the domestic production of low-end products.

"At least increase the production capacity by another three million tons." Nakatani Mingyi said without hesitation. Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. has an existing production capacity of two million tons. Even if it increases its production capacity by another three million tons, it will only be five million tons.

The production capacity is not considered top-notch in China.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, but I hope you will not be stingy about investing in new technologies." As the second largest steel group company in Japan, Japan Steel Engineering Holdings is also a well-known steel group company in the world.

All aspects of technology are leading the world. Although the current production capacity of Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company far exceeds that of Japan Steel Engineering Holding Company, in terms of profit margin per ton of steel products, there is still a clear gap between it and Japan Steel Engineering Holding Company. However,

, Fang Mingyuan is not in a hurry, there is still enough time to slowly complete the adjustment of the product structure of Liao Iron and Steel Group Company.

"Hi, Fang Jun, then we've settled." Zhonggu Mingyi said in a good mood. He had already thought of Fang Mingyuan's request before he came. Fang Mingyuan's emphasis on new technologies and patents has long been known to the public.

. It would be surprising if he didn't make such a request.

Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot, I have another request. I hope that the new production capacity of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. will be made using electric furnaces."

"Electric furnace steelmaking?" Nakatani Mingyi hesitated for a moment and said, "So, does Fang Jun plan to use your country's recycled scrap steel, or use imported scrap steel? As far as I know, your country's scrap steel recycling industry is not perfect.

The use of electric furnaces for steelmaking may increase the operating costs of steel plants." Scrap steel generally refers to steel scraps formed during the production process of steel plants, such as trimmings, ends, etc., as well as equipment and components that are scrapped after use.

Steel materials, such as scrapped cars and ships, etc. In the steel industry, scrap steel is mainly used as steelmaking additives in long-process converters or as steelmaking main materials in short-process electric furnaces.

Although, looking at the global steel industry, using recycled scrap steel for steelmaking is already a very common production method in the industry. China’s scrap steel-to-steelmaking ratio is only about 10%, while the world average has reached 100%.

In some developed countries such as the United States, the scrap steel-making ratio has reached about 70%.

However, due to the lack of government support and promotion in China, the scrap steel recycling industry is a low-profit, low-return industry. Financing and credit are relatively difficult, and the heavy tax burden has also affected the development and growth of renewable resource enterprises to a certain extent.

.

"Liao Iron and Steel Group Corporation has established an enterprise specifically responsible for the recycling of scrap steel, and will gradually expand its channels nationwide in the future." Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "Moreover, my country has been concerned about the overcapacity problem in the steel industry since before the economic crisis. If we carry out rectification and ban those highly polluting strip steel companies, the annual supply of scrap steel will increase significantly in the future."

Although the resource recycling industry has many difficulties and the profits are relatively meager, compared with the method of using iron ore as the main raw material and long-process steelmaking in blast furnaces, the method of using scrap steel as the main material is

Electric furnace steelmaking can greatly save energy and water, and reduce the emission of waste gas, waste water, and waste residue. In the past, the annual domestic scrap steel production was too small, but with China's decades of construction and rapid economic growth, buildings were built.

Bridges have been demolished due to their age, and old cars have been scrapped. The amount of scrap steel has entered a period of rapid growth. Moreover, the domestic power shortage has also greatly improved in recent years, which also provides the basis for large-scale use of scrap steel for electric furnace smelting.

Steel creates the conditions.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan believes that if the widespread use of blast furnace steelmaking by domestic steel companies is not changed, a large amount of domestic scrap steel will have to be exported overseas in the future. Isn't this the case that domestic companies buy iron ore at high prices and then spend thousands of miles on shipping costs?

Transporting it back to the country to make steel in a highly polluting way, and then exporting the scrap steel that can be used for low-pollution steelmaking overseas, is more profitable from the perspective of the company's economic accounts, but if we want to calculate the accounts from the national level,

The losses caused by various types of pollution are inestimable.

Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Corporation has been gradually phasing out those ancient blast furnaces and switching to electric furnace steelmaking to prepare for the large-scale use of scrap steel for electric furnace steelmaking in the future. And at the policy level, Fang Mingyuan has also made preparations for

The electric furnace steelmaking and resource recycling industries will gain more support in the future. He believes that as the government pays more and more attention to the harm of environmental pollution, it will be a major trend for the domestic steel industry to switch to electric furnace steelmaking. Instead of waiting

The government ordered changes, but Fang Mingyuan preferred to take the initiative.

Zhong Guming thought for a while and said: "This issue is something we have not considered before, but I think it will not affect our cooperation." However, he felt a little strange in his heart. If China's steel industry is huge,

If the scale changes to the electric furnace steelmaking method, the demand for iron ore will naturally decrease, and China is the world's largest importer of iron ore, which will have a strong negative impact on the global iron ore trade.

As far as he knew, the Fang family controlled the shares of many iron ore production companies. However, he would not ask about this kind of thing face to face, and this change would not happen within three to five years.

.

The two chatted for a while, and Nakatani Ming sat upright and said: "Fang Jun, when I come here this time, I actually have another matter that I want to ask Fang Jun for his opinion on. Nissin Steel Co., Ltd., I believe Fang Jun will not

Will it feel strange?"

"Nissin Steel Co., Ltd.?" Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course it's not unfamiliar. I heard that it is going to merge with Nippon Metal Industries." Nissin Steel Co., Ltd. is the fifth largest steel company in Japan. Its main products are

Construction steel, automobile steel and stainless steel with corrosion-resistant surface treatment such as alloy coating have production bases in North America, Spain and China. He did not understand that even if Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd. and Nippon Metal Industries merged, it would not be enough.
