Hong'an Steel is a long-established domestic steel company. Although its scale does not hold any advantage among large domestic steel companies, they have their own magic weapon for survival, which is special steel.
As the domestic production and R&D base for special steels, many of the much-needed special steels in the country were first developed by Hong'an Steel, which is one of the companies with the strongest R&D capabilities in the domestic metallurgical industry.
This is also the main reason why relevant departments recommend Hong'an Steel.
After two transfers, Zhang Hang and his party finally arrived at the small northern town where Hong'an Steel is located late at night.
This is a typical heavy industrial city. Huge steel structures and rows of chimneys form the most prominent skyline of the entire city. The shining lights outline the roughness and power of this steel city. Occasionally at night, There were several low whistles.
There were not many passengers at the station at night, and Zhao Jingfu and others got off the train tiredly, dragging their luggage.
Just coming out of the station, the huge square was empty. There were only a few people standing there holding flashing signs. They looked like fans at a concert. Wei Yuhui couldn't help but take a second look. It didn't matter. There was actually something there. It says: A group of five guests from Fuhai Group.
Aren’t these the few of them we’re talking about?
"Old Zhao, do you think they are here to pick us up?" Wei Yuhui poked Zhao Jingfu, who was carrying a suitcase beside him, with his finger.
Zhao Jingfu turned his head and took a look, he was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Mr. Zhang, is that the person over there to pick us up?"
Zhang Hang took a closer look and was a little confused. The group company had not given any information in this regard, and there was no group office here.
But looking at the content above, they should be here to pick them up. Is it someone from Hong'an Steel?
Zhang Hang immediately walked over quickly: "Hello, we are from Fuhai Group. Which unit do you belong to?"
The person holding the sign immediately spoke in a strong Hong'an dialect: "We are from Hong'an Steel. We have just received a notice from our superiors that five guests from Fuhai Group are coming. Let us come to greet them!"
Zhang Hang still kept an eye on it and immediately contacted the group company and received confirmation soon.
It turned out that the group company had contacted Hong'an Steel to discuss business, but I didn't expect the other party to be so enthusiastic and come to the station to greet me in person at such a late hour.
After some polite exchanges, the five people got into the car and sped towards Hong'an Steel, which was flashing red in the distance.
"Thank you so much for bothering you to come over even after midnight!" Zhang Hang hurriedly thanked me.
"Yes, yes, I will take you to the hotel to stay in a moment. If you have any plans tomorrow, just inform the front desk and they will send a car to take you there!"
Zhang Hang has been on a business trip for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such an enthusiastic company, which actually takes care of every aspect.
The hotel that several people stayed in is also owned by Hong'an Steel. Judging from the decoration quality, it is probably well-known in the local area. However, Zhao Jingfu and others were very tired on the way and returned to the room without a chance to say a few polite words. Rest, maybe the next day will be a tough negotiation.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up at the same time. What happened last night still makes them feel a little incredible.
After having a hearty breakfast at the hotel, the front desk clerk told them that they could provide a vehicle if the guests needed to travel.
Zhang Hang had been notified last night, asking him to go to the business department of Hong'an Steel to contact him. He could adapt to the specific situation.
"We're going here!" Zhang Hang took out a piece of paper with the address of Hong'an Steel's business department.
"No problem! When will we leave?"
"The faster, the better!" Zhang Hang said.
Soon, a commercial vehicle parked in front of the hotel. The speed surprised Zhang Hang, an experienced businessman, as if Hong'an Steel had already prepared it.
Zhang Hang was a little worried. After all, such enthusiastic companies are rare, so it’s better to be careful!
The car drove smoothly on the streets of the small town. As an enterprise that supports half of this small town, almost all facilities are deeply branded with Hong'an Steel, and the name of Hong'an Steel can be seen everywhere.
The driver was very talkative and kept introducing landmarks in the city to several people. It didn't look like they had just met each other.
Judging from the driver's performance, it seems that this enthusiasm is innate and is also the signature of this city.
The business department of Hong'an Steel is located in a building that looks a bit old. It looks like a small white building, and it should be a product of that era. This makes Zhang Hang and others feel a little familiar.
The car stopped in front of the building, and two middle-aged men in suits and ties stood at the door.
"Are you Mr. Zhang from Fuhai Group? I'm Sun Qian from the Hong'an Steel Business Department. You can just call me Lao Sun. We just received a notice from the superior department saying that you have a national project that requires special steel plates. I don't know.
What's going on?"
"Hello, Director Sun!" As a state-owned unit, job titles are more popular. Zhang Hang quickly stretched out his hand, "I am Zhang Hang!"
"Deputy Division, Deputy Division!" Sun Qian was obviously very satisfied with Zhang Hang's title. "Please come to the reception room. We are a small place, not as good as your coastal city, so we have to take care of you!"
The reception room is the face of a company. The entire wall is covered with the honors of Hong'an Steel and photos of inspections by leaders at all levels. However, what caught Zhao Jingfu's attention was an inconspicuous photo in the corner. That was the National Welding
A group photo of the winners of the skills competition.
It seemed that Zhao Jingfu was interested in this photo, and Sun Qian immediately stepped forward to explain it.
"This is a photo of our factory workers winning awards in a national competition more than ten years ago!"
"I know, I know, he is known as the King of Welding and is very famous!" Zhao Jingfu said with admiration, "I didn't expect that he is actually a talent from your Hong'an Steel!"
"Although our Hong'an Steel is not the top in the country, we are also one of the few domestic companies with a long history!"
"I believe this, otherwise we wouldn't have come all the way to ask for advice!" Zhang Hang said at the side.
"We are just talking, when should we start discussing?" Sun Qian asked Zhang Hang and others to sit down, and then asked.
Zhang Hang did not directly bring out the demand list for the Blue Whale this time, but directly asked: "Director Sun, I would like to know if Hong'an Steel has the ability to develop and produce F-class super-strength marine steel?"
When Sun Qian heard Zhang Hang's question, he was a little stunned. He was really not prepared for this question. He originally thought that Fuhai Group came here for ordinary offshore steel, but he didn't expect that it was top-notch materials.
