Material Empire

Wang Hongsheng and others stayed one night in Pingyuan, and left in the morning.

Throughout the morning, Qin Hai and others were laughing, shaking hands with various people, and saying compliments to each other, showing reluctance. After sending the last batch of guests away, Qin Hai felt that his face was a little cramped, and his palms showed signs of numbness.

"Oh, how hard it is."

Lying half on the big sofa in Ning Zhongying's office, Qin Hai was indifferent.

"Well, the group must have a ceremony, or it seems unclear." Song Hongxuan helped Qin Hai pour a glass of water, then sat next to Qin Hai and said with a smile.

Ning Zhongying sat on another sofa, restless. He has gone through this kind of inbound and outbound events without any trouble. But seeing so many senior leaders at once suddenly made him feel a little excited and full of confidence in the prospects of the group. He kicked and kicked Qin Hai's elder foot with his foot, and said, "Xiao Qin, sit up. Now you are also a chairman now, so you need to pay attention to the meter."

Qin Hai sat upright, embarrassed, and smiled, "In front of you, what other instruments do I need to install, and you don't know who I am?"

"Xiao Qin, Director Wang called you to his room last night and told you something?" Song Hongxuan was a practical person, and after a few gossips, he got to the topic. Ning Zhongying apparently has been pondering this issue, and heard Song Hongxuan say so. She also put away her ridiculous expression and set her eyes on Qin Hai.

Qin Hai sighed softly and said, "I'm also going to talk to you about this matter. It's really a troublesome thing to say, but I have already promised it. What should I do? I'm afraid we have to discuss it. "

"You say it." Song Hongxuan sat at his desk, took out his notebook and pen, and began to take notes.

"The state will gradually cancel the unified distribution and marketing of most production materials in the next two years, which means that the prices of production materials will be fully liberalized. Director Wang wants to hear my views on this matter." Qin Hai said.

Ning Zhongying frowned, and said, "This is a big deal. It's a mess, and the economy is chaotic again."

So he said "again". It was because in the late 1980s, when the country liberalized the prices of light industrial products, it caused a large increase in prices and caused a great impact on the economy. It is even more conceivable that the impact of heavy industrial product prices should now be liberalized.

Song Hongxuan thought about it and said, "It's been a long time since the price of means of production has been liberalized. I guess the country must still take this step. As far as our steel mills are concerned, the national planned price is too low. The impact on our steel plant is very large. We cannot expand production without sufficient profits. The end result is that the steel supply continues to be tight. I think that liberalizing prices should be a good thing in the long run. "

Ning Zhongying said: "Of course it is a good thing. If the price is not released, who is willing to engage in heavy industry? The key is that if the control is not good, the release of the price will bring about an overall price increase. The lives of ordinary people will be sad. Storm, what will the country do? "

Qin Haidao: "Director Wang's concern is exactly this problem. The state's plan is to establish a reserve of main means of production before the price reform, so that when the market snaps up, it can sell materials and stabilize prices."

"This idea is right. The big capitalists of Pujiang at the beginning of the liberation wanted to hoard materials and disrupt prices. This is how our country defeated them." Ning Zhongying said cheerfully.

Qin Hai smiled bitterly: "The year was then, and now it is now. The country used the power of the country to cope with a Pujiang river. Now it is a national problem, and the materials needed are not few. The country needs to prepare at least 100 billion yuan of materials to play a role in stabilizing prices. "

"This number is actually a bit conservative." Song Hongxuan said that he is more concerned about macroeconomic issues on a weekday basis. Although there is no readily available data at hand, he can roughly estimate the size of the entire country's economy. In his view, to build a material reserve that can turn the sky around, billions of billions are probably stretched.

Ning Zhongying asked: "Little Qin, what does it mean that Director Wang told you this? Does he want our Daqin Group to help the country pay for it?"

Qin Haidao: "He didn't ask us to pay, he just asked if we could help reserve some materials so that they could be put on the market when needed and help the country share the pressure."

"What is in stock and how much is it?" Song Hongxuan asked.

Qin Haidao: "The main material produced by our group is also steel. Director Wang hopes that we can reserve some steel, and the quantity ..."

Speaking of which, he was a bit difficult to talk about. 10 million tons, this is the number he promised to Wang Hongsheng, but he believes that once he tells out this number, Ning Zhongying and Song Hongxuan will run away. In fact, Wang Hongsheng didn't intend Daqin Group to take on such a big obligation. This incident was entirely caused by Qin Hai's wide-opened consciousness.

"Director Wang wouldn't want us to reserve 1 million tons, right? This is what is difficult for strong men." Song Hongxuan looked at Qin Haiyin's uncertain complexion and guessed timidly.

Ning Zhongying shook his head decisively: "If it was only one million tons, Xiao Qin wouldn't be so embarrassed. I think the number is just more than this."

"Sure enough, the factory director Ning is more intelligent." Qin Hai took a flattering note of Ning Zhongying, and then said: "Director Wang just made a request and hoped that we could make a contribution. I took the initiative and was willing to bear 10 million Ton."

"Are you okay, Xiao Qin!" As Qin Hai expected, Song Hongxuan jumped up before his words fell. His eyes were staring at Qin Hai, trying to find a trace of jokes from Qin Hai's face.

Ning Zhongying was not so excited. Perhaps he had experienced too many things in his life. The more he felt incredible, the more calm he became. He looked at Qin Hai and said slowly: "Xiao Qin, what are you planning, let's talk together, I believe that you are not a man of good faith."

"Master Shengming." Qin Hai smiled and said, "I calculated carefully and thought that this number is what we can do, so I replied to Director Wang. The director of Ning taught me that the icing on the cake is like sending charcoal in the snow. When the country is in trouble, let's reach out and help. The benefits will be the greatest. On the contrary, if everything is going smoothly in the country and we are the same whether we are the same or not, we don't have to rush to give our diligence. "

"You're right, if we do this well, it will be the greatest help to our group in the future." Ning Zhongying agreed, "However, the 10 million tons of steel, calculated by the billet, is 10 billion, Calculated by wire, at least 20 billion, how can we get it? Xiao Qin, how do you think? "

Song Hongxuan also calmed down at this time. Based on his years of cooperation with Qin Hai, he was able to guess that Qin Hai should be well-informed before taking on such a seemingly impossible task. He couldn't help but be curious, wondering what way Qin Hai could do it.

Qin Haidao: "To build a stock of 10 million tons of steel, we must not be able to do it. Turning more than 100 billion working capital into stock, our group basically collapsed. My thought is, can we Establish a dynamic reserve and use the international market as a reservoir. When the domestic market does not need so much steel, we will sell steel abroad. When domestic steel is tight, we just give up the international market and switch it back The domestic market can provide sufficient supplies. What do you think of this idea? "

"International Cistern?" Song Hongxuan's eyes brightened, and he immediately understood Qin Hai's thoughts.

Qin Hai's plan is very simple.

First of all, the Daqin Group needs to expand its own production capacity, such as expanding its current production capacity of one million tons to five million tons or more. This matter is actually something that Qin Hai and Song Hongxuan have been discussing. If it is not for the lack of digestibility of the domestic market, they have already established a new blast furnace and continuous casting and rolling production line.

After expanding the production capacity ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Daqin Group will be able to operate at full capacity. At this time, due to insufficient domestic steel market demand, these excess capacity cannot be digested domestically, but can be transferred to the international market to digest, that is, the produced steel is sold abroad. As long as the produced steel can be sold, there will be no problem of occupying working capital, and the Group will not have much pressure.

When the price reform starts and the steel prices in the domestic market soar, the group can stop its supply to the international market and shift its production capacity to the domestic market. If the original sales of 5 million tons abroad a year, and now turn to domestic, it is equivalent to an increase of 5 million tons of supply in the domestic market, which can play a significant role in stabilizing prices.

This principle is very simple to say, but there is an important link that cannot be avoided, and that is whether the steel of Daqin Group can be sold in the international market. The steel industry is a typical capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry. China lacks both capital and technology, and has no advantage in steel production. Therefore, it is difficult to sell steel abroad, let alone sell it. It is up to several million tons a year.

How does Qin Hai consider this obstacle?

Song Hongxuan thought of this, could not help but cast a beam of doubtful eyes on Qin Hai. To be continued ...) ()
