"Originally, I asked Mr. Xu of the group company to talk to you this time. Unfortunately, Mr. Xu has to go to BJ to attend an important meeting of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. I am afraid that he will not be able to make it in time, so I have been entrusted with Secretary Xu to talk to you.
." Director Sun said seriously to Zhou Jing.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Jing also sat up straight and listened carefully. This had entered a serious conversation.
"Your master Xie Dongqing is in charge of a project in South Korea that was just launched a few years ago. You know this, right?"
"Well, I know a little bit, but I don't know the specific project. I was busy with the stainless steel project during that time."
"Okay, let me tell you the general background of the project now."
It turns out that there are many reasons and stories behind this project. The source comes from the South Korean Plate Distribution Center project, Sansteel’s first overseas investment project that was completed and put into operation last year.
This project is a three-way cooperation between Sansteel Group, General Motors Korea, and a local Korean company. It is said that the local company is behind the famous Samsung Group.
The specific operation is that after Sansteel's automobile sheets and coils are exported to South Korea, they will be uncoiled, flattened and cut to size through this distribution center, and then sent to the Korean General Motors OEM. At the same time, a certain degree of preparation will be made for Korean General Motors.
Library.
The benefit that South Korea can gain is that this distribution center has limited production capacity and will subcontract part of its business to surrounding local companies with small cold rolling equipment to save these local companies that are already on the verge of bankruptcy.
There are a lot of these local small businesses, but after the economic crisis in 2008, they have been facing the dilemma of sharp decline in output and insufficient production.
As a result, many businesses have closed down, a large number of workers have lost their jobs, and the local government is also facing a headache.
This matter is not only caused by the economic crisis, but also related to the famous steel company on the opposite island.
South Korea's automobile manufacturing industry is also relatively developed, and its annual automobile exports are also an important part of South Korea's bulk exports. However, the number one competitor of Korean cars abroad is the cars produced by the island country opposite.
Although South Korea's domestic steel company Pudong Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. is also a behemoth, its own automobile sheet production capacity is far from enough to supply the needs of all Korean automakers, including Hyundai, Kia, and General Motors Korea.
Therefore, South Korea needs to import a large portion of automobile sheets from RB's New Dongyang Steel every year.
Speaking of New Dongyang Steel, it is very powerful among Asian steel companies. It was the undisputed leader of Asian steel companies more than ten years ago.
At that time, our domestic steel companies had not yet risen up, and they had no say at all in negotiating overseas iron ore purchase prices. Even if they formed a group to form the China Iron and Steel Federation, they could not face those overseas iron ore companies alone.
So at that time, steel companies from China, Japan and South Korea formed a group to negotiate iron ore prices. New Dongyang Steel took the lead in negotiating with those white-skinned vampires. The status of New Dongyang Steel is evident.
With the rapid development of domestic steel companies in the past decade, China Steel Federation now has the qualifications to negotiate prices independently. In the past few years, Pudong Railway also took the initiative to join in the negotiation on iron ore prices.
In addition, Sanyang's automobile sheet project is also related to New Dongyang Steel. The earliest project was Sanyang Group and New Dongyang's cooperation to establish Sanyang Automobile Sheet Company. It can be said that we learned a lot from the RB people. This cannot be denied.
However, in the early days, the quality of the automobile plates produced by San Gang was completely incomparable with those produced by Xin Dongyang. According to the salesperson, the technical staff of the customer's joint venture car factory put the two automobile plates from San Gang and Xin Dongyang together, and he could tell at a glance
Recognizing his company's products, the difference in quality made him feel embarrassed at the scene.
Therefore, at the beginning, Sangang's automobile panels could only be used as inner lining panels on the complete vehicles of various car manufacturers, and the outer panels were still made of Xin Dongyang's products.
However, with the unremitting efforts of Sansteel's technicians and workers, by revising the production process and adjusting manufacturing equipment, Sansteel's automotive sheets have now caught up with the former Asian leader. Being recognized by South Korea's GM is the best proof.
In the international automobile sales market in recent years, Korean cars have had a great impact on RB cars. Coupled with the tense relations between the two countries, New Dongyang has gradually reduced its exports of automobile sheets to the Korean market. This has had a great impact on South Korea.
The automobile industry has had a great impact.
Forced by helplessness, GM Korea took the lead in setting its sights on China. Therefore, the success of this cooperation project will be a huge benefit to all three parties and is a win-win situation.
Back to the current project, it is precisely because of the success of the automobile sheet distribution center project that it stimulated another local Korean company, Pudong Railway, and they set their sights on another industry that may face the same difficulties as the automobile manufacturing industry.
, South Korea’s shipbuilding industry.
Before the rise of China's shipbuilding industry, South Korea's shipbuilding industry had always occupied the number one spot in the world until it was surpassed by China.
However, in recent years, major shipyards in our country have been overwhelmed by the increasing number of military orders, so that many orders for civilian ships have to go to South Korea due to construction schedule reasons.
However, for the Korean shipbuilding industry, another major trouble caused by the increase in orders is the shortage of raw materials. Therefore, the discerning Pudong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. took the initiative to approach Sanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to request cooperation, with the target being marine medium and thick plates.
However, Shanghai Pudong Railway requires both parties to cooperate in establishing a production base in South Korea. Otherwise, simply importing steel plates will not be able to account for South Korea. South Korea is an export-oriented country and is particularly sensitive to imported bulk commodities, so the reason is excusable.
So with both parties attaching great importance to it, the project was quickly approved for implementation and progressed very quickly.
Originally, the San Steel side of this project was led by the company's former deputy chief engineer. This old expert who was rehired after retirement still wanted to use his remaining energy.
Zhou Jing's master, Xie Dongqing, served as deputy director and was responsible for process equipment work. The other deputy director was held by Zhou Jing's senior brother, Cao Xuefeng, another apprentice of Xie Dongqing, and was responsible for factory construction and production process design.
This created a situation where two old people lead one new person, and the initial operation was relatively smooth.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and I don’t know whether it was due to acclimatization or fatigue from work. Some time ago, the old expert suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed back to China for treatment. He is still in the ICU.
In desperation, the group company had no choice but to let Xie Dongqing take over as the project commander-in-chief. This created a gap in equipment work.
After many discussions and careful studies, the company leaders decided to boldly recruit young cadres and directly named Zhou Jing to replace Xie Dongqing's previous position as deputy commander-in-chief.
This is the real reason why Zhou Jing was recalled from the stainless steel project team.
"But why are you letting me go? Logically speaking, it's inappropriate for me to go there." Zhou Jing couldn't help but wonder after hearing the entire project background introduction.
