Material Empire

While Qin Hai and Xin Jinlong were observing the production site of Tongxin Steel Plant, Lu Dashuang was also looking at these uninvited guests who claimed to be southerners.

Two days ago, he received a message from Gao Xuejian conveyed by Wang Yue, stating that a working group dispatched by the central government has been stationed in Xingchuan County, and it is possible to investigate at various small steel mills at any time, so he must be careful. When accountant Xiaomei reported that Lu Jianzhong brought a Southern boss, his first reaction was to suspect that this was a buyer posing as a working group. He must be vigilant to avoid being trapped by important information.

When he saw Xin Jinlong, Lu Dashuang's heart basically let go. He remembered that Wang Yue said that the head of the working group was a young man in his early thirties, but the one in front of him was a bloated uncle in his 50s. Xin Jinlong oozes from the inside and out a rich soiled bun, which is an image that no government official can disguise. As for Qin Hai and Ge Dongyan who followed Xin Jinlong, Lu Dashuang didn't care too much. Wang Yue said that the Qin leader of the working group is a very powerful man. How can such a big man be with a native rich man to pack him?

Every day, there are businessmen from different places who come to Xingchuan to purchase steel, and they directly come to Dongdaogou Village, and there are not a few. Lu Dashuang cannot abandon sales opportunities because of threats from the central working group. Xin Jinlong took a Mercedes-Benz 600 sedan with a Yunjiang Province license plate and a Daikin chain on his neck. He also had attendants and bodyguards on his side. He was no different from other businessmen. Jiu Xiaoyun went outside.

"Boss Xin, look, this is my production workshop. Look at this electric furnace, don't look a bit old, this is an authentic import. I got it from Yanning Iron and Steel Plant." Lu Dashuang He was proud of the IF induction furnace.

"It is indeed imported, made in Belgium. A product from the late 1960s." Qin Hai introduced Xin Jinlong with a voice that was exactly what Lu Dashuang could hear. He plays the role of technical staff under Xin Jinlong. It is necessary to show your depth in time. Lu Dashuang's electric furnace is not familiar to Qin Hai. If he is not mistaken, this may be the old goods that Chen Hongcheng bought from Europe more than ten years ago. For the Chinese steelmaking enterprises of that year, that was all Belongs to advanced equipment.

Xin Jinlong nodded to Qin Hai artificially, signaled that he had understood the situation, and then turned to Lu Dashuang and asked: "Here you are. How many tons of steel can be produced in a month?"

"Look at Boss Xin's request." Lu Dashuang said, "I drive at full capacity, and I can produce 20,000 tons a month at most."

"20,000 tons?" Qin Hai looked at Lu Dashuang. "On your electric stove? You can produce 20,000 tons. I think it's 5,000 tons, right?"

Lu Dawei and Qin Hai double-ended their thumbs and said, "This brother knows. Yes, this electric stove alone is about 5,000 tons a month. However, there are more than a dozen factories in our village. Who is not? I can work at any time. I will borrow a few electric stoves to produce 20,000 tons a month. There is absolutely no problem, but I do n’t know what Mr. Xin wants. ”

"20,000 tons a month. Sloppy." Xin Jinlong obviously didn't want to reveal his hole cards. Instead of delving into the issue of output, he moved to another question: "I said just now, 12 rebar, you can give What's the price? "

"2000 ... forget it, I don't have a circle with Boss Xin anymore, 1850 a ton, what do you think?" Lu Dashuang said.

"1850?" Qin Hai sneered. "Boss Lu is kidding? Right now the rebar from the original factory is 2250 yuan a ton. You from this small workshop dare to ask for 1850? Bullying we do n’t know whether the market is ? "

"This brother ..." Lu Dashuang said bitterly. "Of course I know that you are all big sellers, and you have a lot of knowledge. But it is not easy to do steel now. The price of scrap steel in the market is 1100 yuan per ton. I still have to smelt and roll steel. There is also the freight. After all, Lin Lin finally calculated that the cost of one ton is more than 1700. You also know that the country is now very strict with small steel pipes. In the past two days, a central working group came to Xingchuan. It's over. "

"Working group? What do you mean?" Qin Hai seemed to take Lu Dashuang's words casually and asked.

"It's the working group to rectify the small iron and steel. If we can't make it, our factories can't run it." Lu Dashuang said.

"Can't do it anymore?" Qin Hai frowned, and said to Xin Jinlong: "General Xin, we don't know this beforehand, you see ..."

"You mean you are about to close?" Xin Jinlong knew Qin Hai's meaning. He looked at Lu Dashuang and asked displeasedly.

Only then did Lu Dashuang find that his words had a bad effect. His original intention was to let Xin Jinlong know that Xiao Steel was not easy, so as to gain some bargaining weight. Unexpectedly, what Xin Jinlong thinks of is that these small factories in Dongdaogou Village may go bankrupt, making the signed order contract impossible. Imagine who is willing to do business with a company that is about to close? Xin Jinlong's mentality at this time should be the same, right?

"Boss Xin, don't get me wrong." Lu Dashuang said quickly, "I just said that there is a working group here, our production will be a bit more troublesome, but rest assured, we have been engaged in iron and steel in Dongdaogou for five or six years. The Armed Police were sent to the county last year, and none of them were able to shut down our factory. You will never risk doing business with us. "

"Don't you say that the working group was sent by the central government? Can your county stand up?" Xin Jinlong asked.

If Xin Jinlong had asked such a question as soon as possible, Lu Dashuang would definitely not answer it positively, because he would have to worry about whether the people in the working group were telling him. But to the extent that the two sides talked to each other, Xin Jinlong raised this concern naturally, and Lu Dashuang gave a clear answer, and it became the proper meaning.

"You can rest assured that there are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. Even people from the central government cannot ignore our actual situation in Xingchuan? There are tens of thousands of people in Xingchuan relying on iron and steel for food. Now, the tens of thousands of people's rice bowls are smashed. How big a thing do you think? Now from top to bottom, stability is required. Who has the courage to dare to make such a big move? "Lu Shuangzhenzhen Said softly, firmly Xin Jinlong's confidence.

"I still don't understand. If the government insists on closing your factory, what do you use to guarantee supply to us?" Qin Haizhuang said stupidly.

Lu Dashuang said: "If the government dares to shut down our factories, everyone in our township will go to petition, then it will not be a matter of three or two people, but there will be tens of thousands of people. Brother, do you think the government dare to ignore it? "

"That's it ..." Qin Hai got the information he wanted to know, so he shook his head, pretending that he didn't want to delve into this matter again, and returned to the question at the beginning: "Anyway, we certainly don't think about the price of 1850. Yes, you can say another suitable price. "

"1800, how about it?" Lu Dashuang said.

"Too high."

"1750?"

"It's interesting to drop 50 yuan? 20,000 tons a month is 1 million less, which is to send the croakers?" Qin Hai said in dissatisfaction.

"Brother, don't you say that." Lu Dashuang pretended to be crying. He was actually older than Qin Hai, but in order to pretend to be poor, he called his brother to Qin Hai simply, "What you do is big Buying and selling, 1 million is not a thing. My small factory, deducting people to eat horses and feed, can not even earn 500,000 a year. 1750 is my capital protection price, no matter how low I would lose my pants. . "

"Really?" Qin Hai snorted. He took a few steps and pulled a two-meter-long rebar on the ground with his feet. He turned to Ge Dongyan and said, "Lao Ge, why don't you come and try this steel?" kind."

Ge Dongyan stepped forward, reached out and picked up the rebar, first stabbed it in his hand, then slammed it, and banged it on a piece of scrap steel next to it.

Hearing only a "Beep", the workers in the workshop turned their heads to look here, do not know what happened. Qin Hai took a closer look. There was only a section of less than 1 meter left in Ge Dongyan's hand. The remaining part had been broken into several pieces and fell to the ground. The fracture was gray and white, like a fracture of a stone.

"Boss Lu, your rebar is too watery, isn't it? It's more brittle than glass." Qin Hai picked up a small cut of steel, threw it gently in his hands, and said casually to Lu Dashuang ~ www. novelmtl.com ~ The word steel is generally used to describe strong attributes. Among them, steel and iron are different. Iron is strong and strong, and lacks in toughness; steel emphasizes toughness and can withstand repeated bending and forging without cracking. If it is a qualified rebar, it will be beaten like Ge Dongyan just now. At best, some bending will occur, and it will never be broken. And this kind of inferior steel produced in a small steel plant contains a large amount of impurities, and the smelting temperature is not enough, and the toughness of the material is extremely poor.

Lu Dashuang saw that Qin Hai didn't seem surprised at the rebar fracture, which showed that he was mentally prepared for the steel quality of Tongxin Steel Plant. As for letting Ge Dongyan do such an experiment, it is nothing more than wanting to use the quality of steel as a reason to lower prices, which is understandable.

"Brother, what are you expecting for a 1750-ton rebar? Anyway, you buy it and get caught in the concrete, who can see it?" Lu Dashuang said.

Qin Haidao: "That's what we said, we didn't expect much quality, but steel like you, we use it in engineering, I'm afraid the building will collapse without waiting for it, and we won't be able to eat it by then Go on. I said, if you can improve the quality a little, the price of 1750 a ton, we will recognize it. Mr. Lu, what do you say? (To be continued)
