For Ma Yiping, introducing the situation in Hanping County was a matter of familiarity. He asked his staff to hand Ningmo a copy of Hanping County's investment promotion information, and then began to introduce it in detail:
"Hanping County is located in the southwest of the central part of Tongjiang Province and in the middle reaches of the Xinma River. It covers an area of 3,200 square kilometers and has a population of 740,000. It has jurisdiction over 10 towns and 18 townships. The county is mainly hilly and surrounded by mountains. It has major mineral resources
Materials include coal, quartz stone, feldspar, limestone, ilmenite, etc. Hydropower resources are abundant, and there are two medium-sized hydropower stations currently built. Food crops include rice, corn, flue-cured tobacco, etc., and industry includes steel, machinery,
Chemical fertilizers, cement, glass, sugar production, cigarette production..."
"You mean, your county has a steel plant?" Ning Mo interrupted Ma Yiping's introduction and asked him. Qin Hai had already positioned Daqin Group, which was to focus on the materials industry. Ning Mo was the first to
I worked in steel production with Qin Hai, so I am quite sensitive to the word steel.
Ma Yiping was stunned for a moment, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Manager Ning... is he interested in our steel plant?"
Ning Mo nodded and said: "Yes, our group is engaged in materials, so I am interested in the steel plant. Can Section Chief Ma give a detailed introduction to the current situation of the steel plant in Hanping County and what is its annual output?
Are there any intentions for foreign cooperation?”
Ning Mo's idea is just to invest a sum of money in Hanping to help Xu Xinqun complete the investment task. According to his idea, if the steel plant in Hanping is willing to absorb foreign investment, he will directly invest the money in the steel plant and let the steel plant do it on its own.
operation, thus eliminating all kinds of subsequent troubles. Such an investment looks very reasonable and will not make people suspicious.
Who would have expected that when Ning Mo said this, Ma Yiping's face suddenly turned red. He hesitated for a few words, and finally kicked the ball to Xu Xinqun and said, "Old Xu, you should explain this matter to Manager Ning.
Just give it a try."
Xu Xinqun nodded helplessly and whispered to Ning Mo: "Xiao Ning, this matter may be a bit troublesome. The steel factory in our county was still in production a few years ago. In the past two years, it has closed due to serious losses."
"Oh..." Ning Mo muttered in her heart: Companies that have closed down are still listed in the briefing. Isn't this just collecting feathers to scrape together?
Ma Yiping saw Ning Mo's dissatisfaction, and he explained nonchalantly: "Manager Ning, our county actually has plans to revive the steel plant. However, we asked experts from the province to take a look, and they said that although our county has
Iron ore, but this iron ore is mainly ferrotitanium. It is not worthwhile to use it purely to make ordinary steel. If it is used to make titanium alloy steel, the investment will be relatively large. I am afraid it cannot be recovered. So our county leaders reviewed the situation and turned the steel plant into a
It’s closed.”
"That's a pity. Our company does have steel business, and we could have cooperated with Hanping County. If the steel plant has been closed, forget it." Ning Mo responded casually. He was not interested in it.
Hanping invested too much money. If the steel plant was still there, he might as well have spent money to buy a share. But since the steel plant has been closed. To resume production, and it also involves changing the steel type, it is not 100,000 yuan.
It can be stopped. His original intention was to flatter Xu Xinqun, and it was not worth spending too much money.
Xu Xinqun saw that Ningmo had the intention to invest, but could not find a suitable project. So he asked cautiously: "Xiao Ning, besides steel, doesn't your company do other businesses? Our flue-cured tobacco here is still very famous.
, the county has always regarded flue-cured tobacco as the focus of attracting investment."
Ning Mo shook his head and said: "Uncle Xu, our group is a materials industry group, and our investments are all related to materials. We are not familiar with things like flue-cured tobacco, so it is unlikely that we will invest."
"Material?" Ma Yiping asked eagerly, as if grasping a straw: "Manager Ning, do you think glass is considered a material?"
"Glass?" Ningmo thought for a while, "Glass should be considered a material, but..."
Daqin Group has steel plants, ceramics plants, cement plants and many chemical plants that produce polymer materials, but it does not have a glass factory. According to Qin Hai's vision, Daqin Group's business should cover all material categories, and glass is naturally not an option.
The missing item. Ning Mo knew that Qin Hai had been looking for opportunities to enter the glass industry, but he didn't know if this small Hanping County was enough to serve as Qin Hai's entry point.
"The efficiency of the glass factory in our county is quite good." Seeing that Ning Mo's attitude was a little relaxed, Ma Yiping quickly started to lie, "Manager Ning, our county has a natural advantage in producing glass. We have anthracite coal here and long-term growth.
Stone, quartz stone, and limestone are the main raw materials for glass production. In the early years, the glass we produced could be sold to seven or eight surrounding counties. At that time, rural people wanted to build houses and wanted to buy the glass produced by our Hanping Glass Factory.
Glass must be obtained through the back door."
"Yes, yes, our glass factory was a very wealthy company at that time." Xu Xinqun also echoed.
Who is Ning Mo? He immediately heard other contents from the two people's words. He smiled slightly and asked: "Then why is the glass factory not in good shape now?"
"This..." Ma Yiping was choked up all of a sudden. What he said to Xu Xinqun indeed revealed the meaning that the glass factory is no longer what it used to be, and what they were talking about was all in the past.
"This is mainly a quality issue." Xu Xinqun hesitated for a moment, then spoke up for Ma Yiping, "After all, our Liulichang Factory is a county enterprise, and it is not technically qualified. In recent years, people's living standards have improved, and they are more interested in glass.
The quality requirements have also become higher. For example, when units in our county build houses, they are generally unwilling to use the glass produced in our county and prefer to use glass from big brands.”
The situation faced by Hanping Glass Factory is a common situation in the process of industrialization. In the early years, the country's industrial level was low, and products such as steel, cement, and glass were all produced by local small businesses.
Provided, everyone has no choice but to accept it. With the advancement of the country's industrialization process, the production of various products is gradually moving towards large-scale production. Due to low technical level and poor production efficiency, such small businesses in the county have no products at all.
Competitiveness can only lead to bankruptcy in the end.
The earlier steel factory in Hanping closed down for this reason. The situation of the Hanping Glass Factory is slightly better, but it has also begun to shrink, and bankruptcy is only a matter of time.
"Can I go see the glass factory?" Ning Mo asked. He knew that Hanping County could not find any other areas worthy of investment. The only one that could find an excuse for investment was this glass factory. He wanted to
Well, as long as there is still some hope for this factory, he will use his own money to take a share in the glass factory. This can be regarded as the investment attracted by Xu Xinqun.
Hearing Ning Mo's request, Ma Yiping nodded: "Absolutely, Manager Ning, when do you think we can go? I'll call them right away and let them get ready."
Ning Mo stood up and said, "Let's do it now. If Section Chief Ma has anything else that he hasn't had time to introduce, we can talk while walking on the road."
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange the car right away." Ma Yiping ran out the door as if there were springs under his feet.
Seeing Ma Yiping walking away, Xu Xinqun gently tugged on Ning Mo's clothes and whispered: "Xiao Ning, let me remind you that our glass factory's efficiency is really poor now. If your company wants to invest, it will be very difficult."
There is a chance that it will be in vain, so you must be cautious."
Ning Mo smiled, and he deeply felt that Xu Xinqun was indeed a kind person, and he also thought about issues from his perspective. Although Xu Xinqun was tasked with attracting investment, he might even lose his current position because he could not complete this task.
position, but he still didn't want to cheat the young man he met for the first time because of his own affairs. As for the reason, it was naturally because Ning Mo was Xu Xiaoqi's friend.
"Uncle Xu, don't worry, I'm measured." Ning Mo said.
Xu Xinqun couldn't rest assured, he warned again: "That's good. Xiaoning, no matter what happens later, you must not express your position immediately. Even if you think you can invest, don't agree to Chief Ma immediately. Wait for us to discuss
Let’s talk about it later, you know?”
Ning Mo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Xu."
Xu Xinqun was very satisfied with Ning Mo's attitude. He pretended to be an elder and said, "Haha, no wonder Xiao Ning can take charge of her own business at such a young age. Not bad."
The Hanping Glass Factory was built in the south of Hanping County, only two miles away from the county seat. It is only three or four miles away from the China Merchants Bureau. However, Ma Yiping still brought over an old jeep whose exhaust emissions clearly exceeded the standard.
, took Ningmo and Xu Xinqun to the glass factory. The other two clerks from the China Merchants Bureau did not squeeze into the jeep, but rode their bicycles over. When Ningmo and the others arrived at the entrance of the glass factory, two clerks on bicycles
The officers also arrived at the same time.
"Chief Ma, why are you free to come to this broken factory of ours today?" Pang Zhengxiong, the director of the glass factory who had already been notified on the phone, walked out of the factory with several of his subordinates and smiled at Ma Yi.
Ping said hello. Among this group of people, he regarded Ma Yiping as the leader. Xu Xinqun, an unpopular section chief of the committee, was not worthy of attention in Pang Zhengxiong's eyes.
"Director Pang, I brought the God of Wealth here today." After Ma Yiping shook hands with Pang Zhengxiong, he pointed at Ning Mo solemnly and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is an investor from Shannan Province.
Shang, Manager Ning. Don’t you know that Manager Ning is a classmate of Section Chief Xu’s daughter, and he made a special trip to our Hanping County to invest.”
Why did these words spread like this? Ning Mo felt hot sweat on his back. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
