Material Empire

In China at that time, there were many types of materials that could be hyped, but among them only steel had the largest supply and demand gap and was the easiest to operate. For products like cement, the unit value is too low, and the production is extremely scattered, so it is very difficult to hype. For those who are used to making easy money, the loss outweighs the gain.

However, if there is a chance for Sun Zhenjiang to choose again, he will definitely not plunge headlong into the big pit of steel, because in this pit, squatting a monster that defies the sky, that is Qin with the golden finger. ocean.

At this time, in the headquarters office of the Daqin Group in Pingyuan County, Qin Hai was introducing to Ning Zhongying and Song Hongxuan the arrangements after the cancellation of steel planning controls:

"After the cancellation of the steel plan, there will be a round of rise in market prices, and the tension between supply and demand in the market will further intensify. According to the requirements of the State Planning Commission, within one year next year, we must add 10 million tons of steel to the market to ensure that How about controlling the market price within 2,700 yuan, are you sure?"

"Haha, you have to do it if you're not sure. Who told Mr. Qin to boast about Director Wang?" Song Hongxuan giggled, teasing Qin Hai. At the executive level of the Daqin Group, there are not so many strict hierarchical orders. Song Hongxuan and Qin Hai are superior and inferior at work, but they are very close in personal relationship.

Qin Hai smiled and said: "I dare to boast about Hai-kou because I have confidence in Mr. Song. In less than a year, Mr. Song built a 5 million-ton steel plant out of thin air in Haidong Province. With such a Strength, what else do I dare not brag about?"

"That's all under the wise leadership of Mr. Qin. By the way, there is also the wise leadership of Mr. Ning." Song Hongxuan said while cupping his hands and making a bow gesture to Ning Zhongying.

Ning Zhongying didn't participate in their teasing. He frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Xiao Qin, did you say the figure of 10 million tons, or Director Wang?"

"We discussed it together." Qin Hai replied, "Why, Director Ning, do you have any questions?"

Ning Zhongying is no longer the factory director, but the general manager of Daqin Group, but Qin Hai himself is the chairman, so it seems inappropriate to call Ning Zhongying "President Ning". Given Ning Zhongying's age, Qin Hai couldn't call him Lao Ning or call him by his first name, so he could only use the original address. That's good, it seems that I don't forget the old feelings. Within the group, not only Qin Hai called him this way, but Xiang Jiyong, Song Hongxuan, Qin Minghua and other close people also called him this way.

Ning Zhongying said: "I have heard from your analysis. According to the calculation results of the Planning Commission, the national steel shortage in the whole of next year will be more than 20 million tons. Affected by price factors, the demand for about 10 million tons may be suppressed. , we add another 10 million tons, so that the gap can be almost filled. However, this algorithm does not take into account the impact of the increase in inventory of each unit, and some trading companies may also have plans to hoard. In this way, 1,000 10,000 tons is not enough.”

"Old Ning is wise." Qin Hai gave a thumbs up and complimented, "The situation you mentioned is entirely possible. In fact, Director Wang has learned that several relatively large trading companies are planning to join forces to stockpile goods, in order to make huge profits. Taking into account all the stockpiles of them and various user units, there may be an additional 10 million tons of demand gap.”

"If someone stirs up trouble and speculates on the price of materials, more small companies will inevitably join in and want to take advantage of the fire, and then there will be more than a gap of 10 million tons." Ning Zhongying reminded that as an old entrepreneur, he It is too clear about the things in the market.

Qin Haidao: "Regarding this issue, Director Wang has already considered it. In fact, the State Planning Commission has not only laid out our pawn. The Planning Commission has asked several major steel factories to prepare 3 million to 4 million yuan in advance. The inventory of 10,000 tons and the production capacity of about 5 million tons have been reserved. When the two items are added together, a supply of more than 8 million tons can be produced. When necessary, the country can also import some steel from abroad to stabilize prices, so that It can be done without fail.”

"It sounds like a war." Song Hongxuan sighed, "We are here to share the country's worries, but others are tearing things down. How can there be such a big gap between people? By the way, for this kind of malicious hype of steel prices Can't the company, the country take some measures to crack down?"

Qin Hai shook his head and said: "We are engaged in a market economy, and the government's extra-economic intervention in the market should be as little as possible. Hoarding goods is also a legal market behavior. The state cannot take administrative measures to crack down on it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I think the country should have some determination at this time. Companies that maliciously disrupt the market should be severely cracked down." Ning Zhongying said indignantly.

Qin Haidao: "Old man, I can understand your feelings, but I can't decide this kind of thing. Even Director Wang dare not say anything about the blow. What's the use of us being angry here? In my opinion, as long as we If you do your own thing well and can provide 10 million tons of output as scheduled, those who speculate on materials will only fail, and maybe you will have to lose some capital."

"That's right, just let them bleed." Ning Zhongying said kindly. He also knew that the suggestion of using administrative measures was a bit too violent. In fact, those of them who are in business don't want the country to wield the big stick of administration at every turn. .

Just as the three of them said this, the red telephone on the table rang suddenly, which surprised them all, not knowing what happened.

On Qin Hai's desk, there is not only one phone. Different colors and ring tones, several phones have their own functions. For general calls to contact work, they must first be inquired at the front desk of the group, and then they will be transferred to Qin Hai's desk. But this red phone is different, it is dialed in directly without transfer. Senior leaders such as Chai Peide, Wang Hongsheng, and Yang Xinyu have mastered this phone number. After all, these high-ranking leaders cannot be allowed to accept the questioning of the little girl at the front desk in a proper manner, right?

Leaders are all busy people, so naturally they won't call to chat about trivial matters such as cabbage and potatoes. So, if the red phone doesn't ring, it's fine. Once it rings, it means something important.

"Hi, I'm Qin Hai, who are you?" Qin Hai answered the phone and said respectfully.

The person on the other side of the phone didn't say a word, and Qin Hai could only faintly hear a faint sound of breathing.

"What?" Ning Zhongying looked at Qin Hai in surprise.

Qin Hai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on. He continued to ask into the microphone: "Hello, who is this?"

"It's me." A soft voice finally came from the phone.

Qin Hai's heart jumped violently: "Zhe Yi..."

"It's me." The other party's voice was a little excited, "Did you hear it?"

Hearing the word "Zhe Yi" from Qin Hai's mouth, Ning Zhongying and Song Hongxuan looked at each other, stood up in unison, and walked out the door. Wang Zheyi has little connection with the Daqin Group, but both Ning Zhongying and Song Hongxuan have heard of her. Especially Ning Zhongying, who had already regarded Qin Hai as his future son-in-law in his heart, and was even more wary of someone like Wang Zheyi.

Qin Hai didn't stop the two from leaving, and watched them close the door after going out, so Qin Hai said into the microphone: "Zhe Yi, are you okay? Are you at home or abroad now?"

"I'm still in Peru, and the soles of your feet are facing the soles of your feet." Wang Zheyi has also calmed down from the initial excitement, and his voice has returned to its previous livelyness.

"Haha, I can't imagine what it would be like to stand with your head down." Qin Hai also relaxed, "By the way, when you left the capital last time, you said you were looking for a classmate of yours. How about you? Where are we now?"

When it comes to treating girls, Qin Hai really deserves to be the king of silence. As soon as this remark was made, the microphone fell silent, and after a long while, he heard Wang Zheyi say with full of resentment: "Qin Hai, you can't just say no." So what’s so bad about the scenery?”

"Uh..." Qin Hai really wanted to slap himself in the face, so he quickly interrupted: "Didn't I hear your voice, and I was so happy? By the way, how do you know the number of my phone?"

"Nonsense, I don't know, doesn't my dad know yet?" Wang Zheyi scolded with a smile like in the past, "I called my dad, and he told me your number and asked me to call directly. You said Why are you Chinese bureaucrats like this, you don’t know that I’m traveling long distance across the ocean.”

"Which country are you from..." Qin Hai retorted in an inaudible voice, and then asked with a smile, "Why did Director Wang ask you to call me directly? What's the matter?"

"There is indeed one matter, and it is very important." Wang Zheyi put away his teasing tone and said solemnly.

"What's the matter?" Qin Hai became nervous. Wang Hongsheng would not ask his daughter to call Qin Hai out of thin air, this move itself is unusual.

Wang Zheyi said: "Actually, this matter is mainly related to my father, but he said that you are also involved in this matter, so let me inform you directly. According to what we learned from insiders in Peru, There is a meson fund in the United States, which is recovering funds from all over the world and preparing to invest in the Chinese market. They originally invested 500 million US dollars in Peru to speculate on the copper mines in Peru. Now the plan has been withdrawn before the completion of the plan, and they have suffered for this. A lot of losses. Judging from this situation, they are very determined to enter the Chinese market, and what they want is also extraordinary."

"You mean...they want to hype steel in China!"

Qin Hai immediately realized that the matter that Wang Hongsheng asked his daughter to call him directly must be related to steel.
