Material Empire

The newly built electric furnace workshop is next to the original No. 2 open hearth furnace workshop. It is slightly smaller than the open hearth furnace workshop, but its appearance is much more beautiful. Song Hongxuan was quite generous in his work. He knew that it would be difficult to build a single-storey factory building within two months according to ordinary construction methods, so he took advantage of the convenience of the steel factory and directly used the steel structure as the frame to quickly build the factory building. set up. As for the increased cost, he had also obtained Qin Hai's consent in advance.

The electric furnace installed in the electric furnace workshop is one of the two sets of electric furnaces imported from Spain by Hongyuan Iron and Steel Works. When Qin Hai helped Hongyuan Iron and Steel Works negotiate with Ossur, he played a cautious role and asked Hongyuan Iron and Steel Works to import two sets at a time, while Honggang could only digest one set, and the other set could only be leased to Qin Hai used it.

Considering that this electric furnace itself is already a product with relatively backward technology, it will be even less valuable after more than ten years of use. After paying the rent, after a certain number of years, the electric furnace will belong to Qin Hai. Calculated according to the original price quoted by Ossur, the extra set of electric furnaces was actually earned by Qin Hai for Honggang, so Honggang's rent was not too harsh, and the plan was only to recover the cost.

The installation of the electric furnace was carried out by the Ossur company who sent people to guide it. Song Hongxuan also found some technical personnel in Beigang to assist. After more than half a month of hard work, the installation of the electric furnace and supporting continuous casting and steel rolling equipment has been completed, and it only needs a few days of debugging before it can be put into production.

When Qin Hai was negotiating with Ossur, he said that this electric furnace was worthless, but in fact, its technical level was still much higher than the electric furnaces used by most domestic steel factories. In terms of steelmaking technology, Western countries have been ahead of China for more than ten years. Considering the equipment update cycle, the actual gap is even greater.

This is exactly the case at the Beixi Iron and Steel Plant. The original electric furnaces were all purchased in the 1960s. Compared with this electric furnace that was only manufactured in Spain in the late 1970s, it is simply outdated. In terms of shape, etc. It's even dirtier. I heard from Wang Xiaochen that when they installed the new electric furnace, Xu Yang visited it several times, and each time he made no secret of his envy and jealousy, so he sent his workers to rob it.

"Xiao Qin, look, Director Song and the others are right there."

Walking into the gate of the electric furnace workshop, Wang Xiaochen pointed to the front and said to Qin Hai.

At this time, Song Hongxuan, who was discussing the production process with a group of technicians and workers, also found Qin Hai. After explaining a few words to everyone, he greeted Qin Hai with a smile.

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Ning, you are all here." Song Hongxuan greeted warmly. He had also seen Ning Mo beside Qin Hai, and knew that his relationship with Qin Hai was extraordinary.

Qin Hai stepped forward and shook hands with Song Hongxuan, then said with a smile, "Old Song, you are fast enough. I thought it would take half a year to build the electric furnace workshop."

"Hehe, time doesn't wait for me." Song Hongxuan said proudly, "Xiao Qin, you should have seen it when you entered the factory. The cars waiting to pull the steel have blocked the door of Beigang. I protest."

"Is this all from our side?" Qin Hai asked. In the factory area of ​​Beigang, there are actually two units, one is the original Beigang, and the other is its sphere of influence. In order to distinguish it from Beigang, it has a name that does not match the name, called Beite Steel. . According to what Song Hongxuan said, all the cars stuck on the road in the factory area waiting to pull steel products were all for Bei Special Steel, and had nothing to do with Bei Steel.

Song Hongxuan briefly explained Qin Hai's question. It turned out that the products of Beigang are all planned steel products, and they are sent to designated units on a fixed basis after production. Most of them are transported by special railway, and the transportation pressure is not high at ordinary times. The provincial government asked Qin Hai to estimate a Bei Special Steel, with the purpose of producing unplanned steel products, that is, outside the national plan, to open a small stove for Anhe Province.

Bei Special Steel did not have the planned material guarantee, so it could only do small things in the beginning, and the output was not high. In the past few months, as Qin Hai opened the window to import raw materials from overseas, the steel output of Bei Special Steel has increased sharply. According to the agreement with the province, these steel products were allocated to various key units in the province. These units were waiting for the rice to be cooked, so they rushed over to wait after getting the distribution quota. Due to the gathering of large and small vehicles, Beigang experienced unprecedented traffic jams.

Of course, for those clients, what they know is only Beigang. What is the relationship between Beigang and Beigang?

"Chief Yang gave us a task of 200,000 tons a year. How about it? Are you confident in completing it?" Qin Hai asked Song Hongxuan.

Song Hongxuan said: "Don't worry, as long as the overseas raw materials can be guaranteed, we will definitely be able to complete the task of 200,000 tons. You don't know, we said to borrow a blast furnace from Beigang, but now its two blast furnaces are being used for us. As for work, our output has far surpassed that of Beigang."

"Xu Yang must be very depressed, right?" Qin Hai said with a smile.

Song Hongxuan smiled lightly and said: "Director Xu is highly supportive of our work. He will give us what we want. We want to build an electric furnace workshop, so he directly allocated this vacant land to us. Actually, his interest was also If you are not at Beigang, you should know that Mayor Chai has already been transferred, and I think Director Xu will leave soon."

"I see." Qin Hai understood. Xu Yang came to Beigang as the factory director, which was originally a transition. Chai Peide has gone to Cenzhou to become the mayor, and Xu Yang probably will follow him soon. As for how to appoint him, it is beyond Qin Hai's guess. Xu Yang has served as Chai Peide's secretary for more than ten years, and now he has a layer of gold in a large enterprise. In the past, it should have been easy to be an administrative official in charge of the economy. As for whether Beigang is better or worse than Beijing Special Steel, what does it have to do with Xu Yang?

"However, Xiao Qin, I'm planning to talk to you about this." Song Hongxuan put away his teasing expression and said seriously to Qin Hai: "Mayor Chai is gone. If Director Xu leaves again, we and Bei The relationship between steel is a bit delicate. I think we have to settle some things while Director Xu is still around."

When Song Hongxuan said this, Qin Hai also realized the urgency of the matter. He looked around and said, "Let's go, let's go to your office to talk."

Song Hongxuan's office is one of a row of simple rooms built outside the workshop. He led Qin Hai and his party to the office, pointed to a few dilapidated folding chairs, and said: "Xiao Qin, Xiao Ning, the conditions are simple, You guys just sit down. Xiaochen, go and make some tea for President Qin and the others."

"Hey." Wang Xiaochen agreed, turned around and went out, not knowing where to find boiling water.

Watching Wang Xiaochen leave, Qin Hai smiled and asked Song Hongxuan, "What's the matter, old Song?"

"What's the situation?" Song Hongxuan was puzzled, not knowing what Qin Hai was talking about.

Qin Hai muttered to the outside, "I just heard a girl accidentally say the word Hong Xuan, it's very kind."

"Uh..." Song Hongxuan's face immediately turned red. As a person with a dark heart, he certainly knew who Qin Hai was talking about. Before the relationship is clear, both the man and the woman will feel embarrassed about this kind of topic.

"Nothing...Actually, many workers call me that..." Song Hongxuan hesitated.

"Then why are you blushing?" Qin Hai continued to tease him.

Song Hongxuan touched his face wanting to cover up, and said, "Just now...the ones baked in the workshop..."

"Old Song, Wang Xiaochen is a flower in our Qingfeng factory, don't miss it." Ning Mo smiled and reminded that the marriage of men and women is always a topic of gossip that everyone likes to hear.

"The Xiongnu are still alive, so what is a family? Let's talk about work, and we haven't said anything about other things." Song Hongxuan embarrassedly changed the topic.

"Well, let's talk about work first." Qin Hai nodded and said, "You said just now that you want to settle some things for Director Xu before leaving, what is it, and how do you plan to solve it?"

When it comes to work matters, Song Hongxuan is calm and at ease. He said:

"Our special steel plant was very independent when it was established. In name, we contracted Beigang's No. The method of salary retention is borrowed from Beigang, and all kinds of relationships are in Beigang. This means that the lifeblood of our special steel plant is controlled by Beigang.

When Mayor Chai and Director Xu are here, it doesn't matter to us in this state, after all, we are all our own people. Now that Mayor Chai is gone, Director Xu will definitely stay here for a while. If another leader comes up, it's hard to say how he will treat our special steel factory. In case they are jealous of our achievements and want to eat us up, there is nothing we can do. This is called human beings for knives, and me for fish. "

"They can't eat us." Qin Hai said, "Our competitiveness lies in the raw materials. Without raw materials, we can't produce so much steel with just these equipment and workers. And the raw materials are in our own hands. Yes, so people have nothing to do with us."

Song Hongxuan sneered and said: "If people are determined to eat us, they won't care about competitiveness. Some leaders think like this. I won't let you get what I can't get. If you Sometimes they stuck our necks in terms of equipment, personnel, etc., and forced us to sign the alliance under the city, what should we do?"

Ning Mo worked as a manager in Pingyuan Iron and Steel Works for a year, and he also knew a lot about various ways. He interjected: "Old Song is right. In fact, they don't necessarily want to strangle us to death. They just make things difficult for us and force us to agree to various conditions, such as allocating part of the steel to their related households. If we don't agree , they can make us uncomfortable. If this problem is not resolved, the better we do, the greater the risk."

The second update is sent...continue to write the third update. I know that what I spent two hours writing, everyone read in two minutes. For the rest of the time, everyone is idle, let's vote for Chengzi a few monthly tickets. In this month's city monthly ticket list, Cheng Zi's book is ranked tenth, which is really not reconciled. I want to shout out: ask for subscription, ask for recommendation, ask for reward, ask for monthly pass! We want everything except reminders!
