Chapter 376: Cenzhou No. 2 Steel Plant

>
After discussing with Ning Zhongying about the formation of the group company, Qin Hai stayed in Pingyuan for another two days, accompanied his parents, and then left for Cenzhou to inspect the construction site of the second steel plant in Cenzhou that was being built there. .
Beixi No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant, headed by Song Hongxuan, has expanded in size in the past few years, from an annual output of 200,000 tons of steel to an annual output of 500,000 tons. In addition to ordinary construction steel, Beier Iron and Steel also can produce a variety of types of industrial steel, filling many gaps in the province, while also making a huge profit for Qinhai.
With the continuous expansion of domestic infrastructure and industrial scale, the tight supply and demand situation in the steel market has not only been eased, but has become increasingly serious. Under such circumstances, Qin Hai obtained the consent of Chai Peide, the deputy governor of Anhe Province, and began to build a second large steel plant under the plan, in order to increase the steel output to over 1 million tons to meet the province's steel demand .
The construction experience of Beixi No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant lies in breaking away from the constraints of the state plan and creating a unique path outside the system. Unlike other state-owned steel mills and some small private steel mills in the province, the raw material supply of Beier Iron and Steel does not depend on domestic resources at all, but it is produced by importing coal and iron ore from Australia and other countries. This can ensure production The steel produced is not under the control of the state and can be intercepted by Anhe Province for the construction of this province.
The transportation of imported coal and iron ore can of course only be done by sea. The imported raw materials required by Beier Iron and Steel are first transported to Pujiang port by large sea vessels, then reloaded on river vessels, and transported along the Yangtze River to Cenzhou, a river city in the north of Anhe Province. Beixi is more than 200 kilometers away from Cenzhou. After unloading ships in Cenzhou, coal and iron ore need to be transported to Beixi by train in order to be able to enter steel production.
The bulk transportation of goods by rail is quite costly, and it takes up a lot of railway wagons, which is not too good for Anhe. It is also a heavy burden. Of course, Bei Ergang is responsible for providing hundreds of thousands of tons of unscheduled steel to the province each year, whether it is former vice governor Yang Yihe or current deputy governor Chai Peide. The railway departments have specially greeted them, asking them to guarantee the supply of raw materials to Bei Ergang and not to pull the second leg of Bei Ergang.
However, Qin Hai knew that the best way to solve the transportation problem was to build the steel plant directly near the port of Cenzhou, eliminating the need for long-distance rail transportation. Judging from the development law of the world's steel industry, large steel bases often also rely on large rivers and lakes or coastal transportation. If Qin Hai wants to expand its steel business, it is inevitable that it will shift its production focus to Cenzhou.
In this way, under Chai Peide's personal care. The Cenzhou Municipal Government provided Qin Hai with an area of ​​nearly 10,000 acres of industrial land for Qin Hai to construct the Cenzhou Second Steel Plant. So this steel plant is named second because Cenzhou itself already has a state-owned steel plant named Cenzhou Iron and Steel Plant. However, the production scale of this Cenzhou steel mill is very poor. There are only 50,000 tons a year, which can not keep up with a fraction of the North Second Iron and Steel Group.
With Chai Peide's original intention, Qin Hai originally planned to merge Cenzhou Iron and Steel Plant and establish a "public-private partnership" model, which also saved the trouble of reviving the dying Cenzhou Iron and Steel Plant. However, after Song Hongxuan was sent by Qin Hai to inspect the Cenzhou Iron and Steel Plant, he urged Qin Hai to reject the merger offer. According to Song Hongxuan. The Cenzhou Iron and Steel Plant does not have any value worth merging, and the merger of this company can only carry a heavy burden on itself.
Qin Hai accepted Song Hongxuan's suggestion, and politely declined Chai Peide's kindness, insisting on building the second steel plant in Cenzhou. Chai Peide knew that his requirements were too excessive, so he did not embarrass Qin Hai, but instructed the Cenzhou Municipal Government to give maximum support to the construction of Cenzhou No. 2 Steel Plant. There must be no obstacles.
Even without Chai Peide's instructions, the government of Cenzhou will pay homage to Qin Hai, because the second steel plant in Cenzhou has an investment of up to 200 million yuan. After completion, it can form a production scale of 500,000 tons of steel, with an annual output value of More than 1 billion yuan. For such a of wealth. Is there no reason for local government to give up?
"General Manager Qin, you can see that the first phase of the civil works of the steel plant can be completed immediately. The equipment responsible for purchasing by General Manager Chen has been transported to Pujiang Port and will reach Cenzhou in a few days. If all goes well, the latest By the end of June, the steel plant can be set on fire. "
On the construction site of Cenzhou No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant, Song Hongxuan accompanied Qin Hai while watching the construction situation and introducing progress to him.
President Song Hongxuan said that Chen Hongcheng, the general manager of Honghai Industrial Company. Today's Honghai Industrial Company has become an overseas operating company under Qinhai, which is responsible for exploring overseas markets, managing foreign exchange funds, purchasing raw materials, machinery and equipment, etc.
In recent years, major changes have taken place in the industrial structure of various European countries. A large number of traditional industries have gradually shifted to Asia. The machinery, steel, chemical and other industries have declined, and a large number of second-hand equipment have been eliminated. Chen Hongcheng keenly seized this opportunity, buying equipment eliminated by various companies in Europe, and shipping it back to China. Judging by the standards of European companies, these devices are outdated, but for a technologically backward developing country like China, these second-hand devices are regarded as treasures and are more advanced than the current equipment of many companies.
This time Qin Hai planned to build the second steel plant in Cenzhou, and its main equipment came from Europe. Chen Hongcheng found a dying steel company in Germany and bought all the equipment of the company for the equivalent of buying scrap iron. The second steel plant in Cenzhou is ready to use this complete set of equipment for construction, which is equivalent to moving a German factory to China. Prior to this, Song Hongxuan specially invited Li Linguang to take a few steel experts to Germany to see it. Experts commented on this equipment quite high, thinking that it has reached the current highest level in China, and it will not look outdated for another 20 years. .
"I also fancy a steel plant in the Soviet Union, and I plan to buy it all and dismantle it in the country to reorganize it. Now several people I have arranged are negotiating with local officials to see when it can be concluded. The technology of this steel plant It's not very advanced, but if it's just for the production of ordinary construction steel, that's more than enough. Especially if they have a large continuous casting equipment that can produce a wide range of steel plates, it can fill our gap. "Qin Haixiang Song Hongxuan Introduced.
"It's great." Song Hongxuan smiled on the road, "I'm still worried that the German equipment is not enough, and coupled with the Soviet Union, our second steel plant in Cenzhou is a bit large. Otherwise, Cen I don't know how to fill this acre of land given by the state. "
According to Song Hongxuan's original idea, to build a steel plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons of steel, two to three thousand acres of land is enough. But Qin Hai told him that no matter how much land is provided locally, he must accept it in full. Qin Hai knows that land is a scarce resource and will continue to appreciate in the future. Of course, Qin Hai did not think of selling these lands in the future, but with the expansion of the scale of the enterprise, he will definitely use more land in the future. If you don't hoard some land in your hands now, and you want to get land in the future, the cost will be incalculable.
With the command of Qin Hai, Song Hongxuan became more greedy when negotiating land issues with the Cenzhou Municipal Government. The government of Cenzhou City is not hesitant about the land. When he heard Song Hongxuan's opening, he directly delineated an area of ​​nearly 10,000 acres, which made Song Hongxuan and Qin Hai overjoyed. However, since he has obtained so much land, Song Hongxuan has to build something symbolically. Qin Hai just got a steel plant from the Soviet Union, which just solved the problem of occupying land.
"By the way, I have to tell you one thing. Our two sets of equipment have been put into production one by one. The production capacity will reach more than 1 million tons. The environmental protection problem must keep up. With the equipment I got from the Soviet Union, the environmental protection problem may be more serious We cannot destroy the local environment. "Qin Hai solemnly explained to Song Hongxuan.
"I have already taken this issue into consideration." Song Hongxuan said, "I have asked Professor Li Linguang to help design environmental protection equipment for the steel plant some time ago. Besides, I also asked them from the School of Materials."
"Haha, Xiaochen is now the assistant dean there, are you close to the water?" Qin Hai joked with a smile.
Song Hongxuan said: "What is near the water platform ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Isn't this all working for you?"
After the two talked and laughed, Qin Hai informed Song Hongxuan about the establishment of a group company with Ning Zhongying. Song Hongxuan was also very excited when he heard what he said. Since Qin Hai invited him to be the director of Beier Iron and Steel, Song Hongxuan has decided to tie his career with Qin Hai. The integration of Qin Hai's industries will be of great benefit to the development of the entire cause. Song Hongxuan can naturally see this.
"General President Qin, please rest assured that I will build the Cenzhou No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant as soon as possible and make it an important pillar of our Daqin Group." Song Hongxuan promised Qin Hai vowedly.
"After the establishment of the group, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier than it is now. I plan to ask Factory Ning to be the general manager for a period of time, but in the end this burden is still waiting for you to pick it up." Qin Hai said.
Song Hongxuan's face glowed with excitement and said, "As long as President Qin trusts me, I have nothing to say."
"Well, when you complete the work here, you must also assist the factory manager Ning to make the preparations for the group. I have to rush to Jintang and try to get things done in Jintang before the group is set up. "Qin Hai explained to Song Hongxuan.
