Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company calls itself second-rate, but don’t think that second-rate is inferior. You have to know that there are not even one thousand but eight hundred steel companies in the empire, but they are considered first-rate. In fact, there are only five or six companies, which are recognized as second-rate.
Yes, there are only a dozen or so in total.
In other words, although their Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is second-rate, it is at least one of the top 20 steel companies in the country. In the past few years, it has focused on the construction steel market, produced construction steel, and worked in this steel market segment.
It has been extremely successful, and its various types of construction steel are sold all over the country. Even in the Jiangnan area, the base of Jiangnan Steel Company, they have constant contact with Jiangnan Steel Company without falling behind in the slightest.
Even in the construction project of the Imperial Palace, Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company was one of the suppliers, providing various types of construction steel materials for the construction of the Imperial Palace.
So sometimes people from Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company claim that Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is just a medium-sized iron factory, a second-rate enterprise. In fact, this is not modesty, but boasting!
The tone is basically like this: Actually, it is very average, that is, it is the second best in the world!
In just five or six years, it started from scratch and developed into one of the top twenty steel companies in the world. Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company was able to stand out from countless competitors and was ready to challenge the status of a first-class steel company and try to become a new first-class steel company.
Enterprises do not rely on their capital strength or personal connections, but on their technology.
The technical team led by Lin Puxiang has focused on the research and development of construction steel for many years. The construction steel developed is no worse than the products of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, Foshan Company, Hebei Iron and Steel Company and a series of first-class large steel companies directly under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.
It's even better in some aspects.
Today, the development of Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company has reached a new bottleneck. They have achieved outstanding results in the field of construction steel, ranking among the top three in terms of market share, while all other competitors are strong.
Other steel markets, such as the agricultural tools market and the machinery and equipment manufacturing market with huge market capacity, are more difficult to enter. This is because the agricultural tool market is too price-sensitive, and farmers are more picky about farm tools and require good quality.
Cheap farm tools!
On the premise of ensuring excellent quality, we also keep the price as low as possible, which actually places higher technical requirements on the company.
In the industrial market, although Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is also involved, their products are not very competitive.
Under this situation, Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company urgently needs a new business growth point to promote the development of the enterprise. If it can find a new business growth point, then Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company can go further and even become a first-class steel company. If
If you fail to find it, or the competition fails, then you can only rest on your laurels and then gradually disappear among many steel companies.
The emerging rail market is the new business developed by Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company in the past year, and it is also the new strategic development direction of their company determined a year ago.
Because the country needs to build railways, everyone knows this. If railways are to be built, there will be a huge demand for railway tracks.
Under this situation, many companies have benefited a lot from railway construction, because during this period, the railway required a large number of rails, and the quality requirements can only be said to be relatively ordinary.
At present, there are only thirty or forty domestic steel companies capable of manufacturing ordinary rails, and Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is one of them.
It was precisely because I saw the huge potential of the rail market, and even more because I learned that the railway company was gradually adopting special steel rails and preparing to phase out wrought iron rails. As for pig iron rails, they were completely eliminated as early as the construction of the Beijing-Zhenzhen Line.
.
In other words, wrought iron rails are now, while emerging special steel rails are the future!
Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is now investing heavily in the research and development of new rails to prepare for the future.
So this time Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is prepared to spend a lot of money in order to recruit talents to develop new rails and other types of steel products. As long as the real technical experts are willing to join, salary and stocks are not a problem!
Lin Puxiang went to Jinling City under this background, because the people he was looking for were all in Jinling City. One was the deputy dean of the School of Materials of Jinling University, and the other was the internal R&D institute of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company.
There are senior engineers, and another one is a senior student at the Royal Institute of Technology, and he is the kind who has passed the graduation examination.
These three people are the targets he has determined after many choices. According to the information he has obtained from his connections, although these three people are different, they all have several similar characteristics.
They all encountered obstacles in their careers. The vice dean of the School of Materials was actually his classmate. After dropping out in his junior year, he taught at the School of Materials at Jinling University for many years. However, he was not tactful enough and offended a lot of people at Jinling University.
Man, the funding for this research is said to be not enough, and his immediate boss, the dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Jinling University, is a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology and a talented researcher. Unless he is willing to take the initiative to give up, otherwise he will
Don't expect to be promoted in his place.
His studies are not going well and his career has no way to advance. If he gets some persuasion, he is very likely to work in a company. Of course, even if he wants to work in a company, the requirements will be very high.
Ordinary companies cannot expect to poach him.
A senior engineer at the Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company Research Institute. This person is not a professional with a professional background like the Royal Institute of Technology. However, he graduated from Jinling University. He is also very talented. His research in the field of alloy steel is very good, but in a world full of talents,
In the Jiangnan Iron and Steel Research Institute, although he can lead a project and earn a high salary, he will never be able to obtain company shares. In addition, he is not from the Royal Institute of Technology. In the Jiangnan Iron and Steel Research Institute, he wants to become the vice president.
It is impossible to even be a dean. The dean and several vice deans of the Jiangnan Iron and Steel Research Institute are full-fledged professors and associate professors from the Royal Institute of Technology.
However, Lin Puxiang heard that this person was not willing to be just a project leader for the rest of his life, so there was hope of poaching this person.
As for the last one, a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology, this person sounds like just a student, but in fact it is harder to recruit than the other two. For no other reason than the title of a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology is enough.
After passing the graduation examination, he was not willing to stay at the Royal Institute of Technology to teach, nor was he planning to teach at other universities. Instead, he was planning to start his own business. It is said that this person came from a poor family and was afraid of poverty. He wanted to start his own business.
Make a lot of money and let your parents and the whole family enjoy prosperity and wealth.
It is rumored that an investor has already offered 200,000 yuan to buy part of his shares in this yet-to-be-established steel company.
Lin Puxiang was prepared to spend a lot of money on this person, and 10% of the shares were reserved for this person!
These days, top technical personnel are too scarce, but many companies need them, which is why top technical personnel are extremely valuable.
But this is only limited to the top group of technical personnel, or in a more narrow sense, only to those who came from the Royal Institute of Technology. There are more than 100 million people in the country, and there are only a few hundred people in total. And these few hundred people, there are still
There are dozens of subdivided research fields, and often there are at least a few people in each subdivided field, and at most there are only ten or twenty people.
Even many majors often have only one seedling.
With hope, Lin Puxiang took the newly opened canal steamer flight of Feng's Shipping Company. Although the ticket price was not low and the ride comfort was not as good as the Yangtze River Shipping Company's passenger ship, the speed was indeed high, and people who were in a hurry often
They will all choose the steamship flights of Feng's Line.
After Lin Puxiang took a steam liner all the way to Jinling City, he saw that there were dozens of steamships in the dock, large and small, including many large ships with hundreds or even hundreds of tons.
There are many steamships, but Lin Puxiang doesn't like them. There are so many coal-burning steamships. If you look up, you can see thick smoke floating around. The scene really has nothing to do with the word "beautiful scenery".
, and there is still a smell of coal in the air.
After getting off the boat, Lin Puxiang did not choose to take a public carriage. This kind of public carriage can squeeze dozens of people into a small carriage, and it is a mixed bag of people and chaos. Naturally, Lin Puxiang will not take any public carriage.
.
Instead, he waited for his entourage to call a two-horse four-wheel medium-sized taxi. Then he and his two entourages got on the carriage and headed towards Dongcheng District. Their company's office in Jinling City was set up in Dongcheng District.
.
The dock is not far from their office, so it didn't take long to arrive at their company's office. Because the incident happened suddenly and it came in a hurry, the office staff in the office didn't know yet that the president of their company
The engineer and one of the major shareholders also came to Jinling. Otherwise, he would definitely have to go to the port to wait to be greeted.
However, Lin Pu was always a technician and did not pay attention to these things. After arriving at the office, he immediately ordered the relevant staff to arrange separate meetings between him and the above three targets.
The staff under him were quite efficient, and the next day he made an appointment with Cheng An, the deputy dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Jinling University!
Lin Puxiang and Cheng An were classmates who studied together at the Royal Institute of Technology. They were also the unlucky ones who were dropped out of school in the same year. Although they were not close friends, they knew each other and exchanged letters with each other.
This was also the reason why Lin Puxiang chose to be the first to see him. After all, he was a classmate. As long as his sincerity was in place, it would be easier to invite him.
But the ending was somewhat beyond Lin Puxiang’s expectations!
