Material Empire

For Ma Yiping, introducing the situation in Hanping County is a matter of familiarity. He asked his staff to submit a copy of Hanping County's investment promotion information to Ning Mo, and then began to introduce it as a few:

"Hanping County is located in the southwest of central Tongjiang Province. It has an area of ​​3,200 square kilometers and a population of 740,000. It has 10 towns and 18 townships under its jurisdiction. The county is dominated by hills and surrounded by mountains. Main minerals The data includes coal, quartz stone, feldspar, limestone, ilmenite, etc. There are abundant hydropower resources, and there are currently two medium-sized hydropower stations. Food crops include rice, corn, flue-cured tobacco, etc. Industry includes steel, machinery, Fertilizer, cement, glass, sugar, tobacco ... "

"You mean, there is a steel plant in your county?" Ning Mo interrupted Ma Yiping's introduction and asked him. Qin Hai has long positioned the Daqin Group, that is, it closely surrounds the material industry. Ning Mo first made steel with Qin Hai, so he was quite sensitive to the word steel.

Ma Yiping froze for a moment, then some embarrassment appeared on his face: "Manager Ning ... interested in our steel plant?"

Ning Mo nodded and said: "Yeah, our group is engaged in materials, so I am interested in steel plants. Could Mr. Ma Ke introduce in detail the current situation of the steel plants in Hanping County and the annual output, Is there any intention to cooperate with foreign countries? "

Ning Mo's idea was just to invest a sum of money in Hanping to help Xu Xinqun complete the investment promotion task. In his opinion, if the steel plant in Hanping is willing to absorb foreign investment. He directly invested the money in the steel plant and let the steel plant operate on its own, which saved all subsequent troubles. This investment looks reasonable. No one is suspicious.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Ning Mo's words, Ma Yiping's face turned red all of a sudden, he gave me two sentences, and finally kicked the ball to Xu Xinqun, saying: "Old Xu, this matter. You still explain to Manager Ning Just a moment. "

Xu Xinqun nodded helplessly and whispered to Ning Mo: "Xiao Ning. This matter may be a bit troublesome. The steel factory in our county, which was still in production in the past few years, has closed due to severe losses in the past two years."

"Oh ..." Ning Mu muttered in his heart: the closed company. You guys are also listed in the briefing, isn't this a chicken?

Ma Yiping saw Ning Mo's dissatisfaction and explained neatly: "Manager Ning, in fact, our county has plans to revive the steel plant, but we invited experts from the province to see them. They said that although there are Iron ore, but this iron ore is mainly ilmenite. It is not worth purely used to make ordinary steel. If it is used to make titanium alloy steel, the investment will be relatively large. I am afraid that it cannot be recovered. So our county leader will review the situation and put the steel plant It's closed. "

"That's a pity. Our company does have steel business. It could have cooperated with Hanping County. If the steel plant has been closed, then forget it." Ning Mo responded casually. He is not interested in putting too much money into Hanping if the steel plant is still there. He might as well take out the money to buy a share, but now that the steel mill has closed. To resume production, but also involves changing the type of steel, it is not enough to stop. His original intention was to make Xu Xinqun's flattery. It is not worth spending too much money.

Xu Xinqun saw that Ning Mo had an investment intention, but could not find a suitable project, so he carefully asked: "Xiao Ning, does your company stop doing other business except steel? Our flue-cured tobacco is still very famous here. In the county, flue-cured tobacco has always been the focus of investment promotion. "

Ning Mo shook his head and said, "Uncle Xu, our group is a material industry group, and our investment direction is related to materials. We are not familiar with such things as flue-cured tobacco, so it is unlikely to invest."

"Materials?" Ma Yiping eagerly asked, like holding a straw, "Manager Ning, do you think glass is a material?"

"Glass?" Ning thought for a while. "Glass should be considered a material, but ..."

The Daqin Group has iron and steel plants, ceramics plants, cement plants and many chemical plants producing polymer materials, but it does not have a glass plant. According to Qin Hai's vision, the business of Daqin Group should cover all types of materials, and glass is naturally an indispensable one. Ning Mo knew that Qin Hai was always looking for opportunities to enter the glass industry, but he didn't know if this small Hanping County was enough as a starting point for Qin Hai.

"Our county's glass factory turned out to be quite good." Seeing that Ning Mo's attitude was a little loose, Ma Yiping quickly started flickering. "Manager Ning, our county has the natural advantage of glass production. We have anthracite and long Stone, quartz stone, limestone are the main raw materials for glass production. In the early years, the glass we produced could be sold to seven or eight counties around. At that time, rural people wanted to build houses and wanted to buy the products produced by our Hanping glass factory. Glass, you have to go through the back door. "

"Yeah, yeah, at that time our glass factory was a very rich unit." Xu Xinqun also echoed.

Who is Ning Mo? He immediately heard the other content from the words of the two people. He smiled slightly and asked, "Why isn't the benefit of the glass factory now?"

"This ..." Ma Yiping was stunned at once. What he and Xu Xinqun said did reveal the meaning, that is, the glass factory is not what it used to be. They are talking about the past.

"This is mainly a quality problem." Xu Xinqun hesitated for a while, speaking for Ma Yiping, "After all, our glazed glass factory is a county-level company, and it doesn't technically pass. In recent years, everyone's living standards have been high. The quality requirements are also high. Like the units in our county who build houses, they are generally reluctant to use the glass produced in our county and prefer to use those big brands of glass. "

The situation faced by Hanping Glass Factory is exactly the situation common in the industrialization process. In the early years, the country's industrial level was low. Products such as steel, cement, and glass were provided by local small enterprises. Everyone had little choice but to accept it. With the advancement of the country's industrialization process, the production of various products has gradually moved to scale. Due to the low level of technology and poor production efficiency of small enterprises in this county, the products are completely uncompetitive, and ultimately they can only go bankrupt.

Hanping's earlier iron and steel plant was closed for this reason. The situation of Hanping Glass Factory is slightly better, but it has also started to shrink. It is only a matter of time before bankruptcy.

"Can I go and see the glass factory?" Ning Mo asked. He knew that Hanping County could not find any other areas worth investing in, and the only one who could find an investment excuse was this glass factory. He figured it out, as long as the factory could still have some hope, he took out his own money to participate in the glass factory, which was even an investment attracted by Xu Xinqun.

At the request of Ning Mo, Ma Yiping nodded his head: "Exactly, Manager Ning, when do we go? I'll call them right away and let them prepare."

Ning Mo stood up and said, "Now, now, if there is anything that Mr. Ma has not had time to introduce, we can talk on the road."

"Okay, I'll arrange the car right away." Ma Yiping seemed to have springs under his feet and ran out of the door.

Seeing Ma Yiping walking away, Xu Xinqun gently pulled Ning Mo's clothing corner and whispered, "Xiao Ning, I can remind you that our glass factory is really bad at present. If your company wants to invest, ten There are probably nine or nine who are afraid of getting caught in the water. You must be careful. "

Ning smiled silently, he felt deeply that Xu Xinqun was indeed a kind man, and he was also thinking from his standpoint. Although Xu Xinqun was carrying a task of attracting investment and possibly even losing his current position because he could not complete the task, he was still reluctant to pit the young man who met him for the first time. As for the reason, that's because Ning Mo is Xu Xiaoqi's friend.

"Uncle Xu, rest assured, I have a sense of proportion." Ning Mo said.

But Xu Xinqun couldn't rest assured, he once again urged: "That's good. Xiao Ning, no matter what you see, you should never say right away, even if you think you can invest, don't promise Ma Kechang immediately, wait for us to discuss Okay, you know what? "

Ningmo nodded and said, "Okay, I listen to Uncle Xu."

Xu Xinqun was very satisfied with Ning Mo's attitude. He put on his elder posture and said, "Oh, no wonder Xiao Ning can stand on his own when he is young, which is not bad."

Hanping Glass Factory is located on the south side of Hanping County ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ It is only two miles away from the county seat. It passes from China Merchants Bureau, which is like Sansili Road. However, Ma Yiping still transferred an old jeep with significantly higher exhaust emissions, carrying Ning Mo and Xu Xinqun to the glass factory. The other two staff members of China Merchants did not crowd into the jeep, but passed by on their bicycles. When Ning Mo arrived at the door of the glass factory, the two cyclists arrived at the same time.

"Mr. Ma, why are you free to come to our broken factory today?" Pang Zhengxiong, the director of the glass factory who had been notified on the phone, came out of the factory with a few men and smiled at Ma Yi. Ping greeted. Among these people, he also regarded Ma Yiping as the leader. Xu Xinqun, the head of the unpopular committee, was not worth paying attention to in Pang Zhengxiong's eyes.

"Director Pang, I came with God of Wealth today." After Ma Yiping and Pang Zhengxiong shook their hands, they solemnly pointed at Ning Mo and said, "I'll introduce it to you. This is an investment from Shannan Province. Shang, Manager Ning. You don't know yet, Manager Ning is a classmate of Xu Kechang's daughter. He made a special trip to our Hanping County to invest. "

How did this happen? Ning Mo only felt that there was sweat on the back. (To be continued)
