Chapter 299 Importance of Iron and Steel Industry

Steel production was once regarded as the most important indicator of the strength of a country.Among the world's great powers, which one is not ranked in the forefront of steel production.

Now steel production is no longer the most intuitive data to measure the strength of a country, and internationally, the steel industry is already a sunset industry.

A sunset industry does not mean that the industry will not make money.

Still making money.

But what to say!

That is, there is no room for improvement in this industry.

Today's market demand is [-] tons, and tomorrow's market demand will basically be the same.

Even tomorrow, the market will not need more than [-] tons, maybe only [-] tons.

The era of great demand for steel in developed countries has long passed, and what should be built has almost been built.

It is now tinkering, and the demand for steel is declining year by year. After reaching a certain level, it will maintain a fluctuating balance.

Developed countries no longer have much demand for steel, and there is no need for major infrastructure construction, but the situation in China is different.

Huaguo is a backward country, its development has just begun, and its demand for steel is still extremely strong.

The golden age of steel enterprises has just begun!
Financing one billion?
Yuzhou Iron and Steel can be used as a pilot enterprise for the reform of the joint-stock system of iron and steel enterprises, but Shuchuan has reported to the capital.

The Beijing side appreciates the shareholding system reform that Shuchuan has carried out in the past few years, and now it seems that it has been quite successful, and it is quite appreciated.

As a province in the west, Shuchuan is farther than some eastern coastal provinces.

And now it seems that not only the light stride is big, but also the stride is very steady.

"Chen Dong, if we raise one billion yuan, will the market be able to accept such a large amount of financing?"

Chen Huaiqing: "Steel is the foundation of all development, who would not accept it?"

That being said, there seems to be nothing wrong with it!

Chen Huaiqing still didn't say anything, the one billion financing will be mostly eaten by the Mota Group and the pension fund company.

It's better not to talk about this matter in public.

There is now a huge demand for steel in the market, and Yuzhou Iron and Steel obviously needs to expand its production scale.

Rubbing his forehead, Huaguo has not yet become the largest demand country for iron ore.

But at this time the import of iron ore from abroad has already begun.

For example, the imported iron ore used by Shencheng Iron and Steel.

There is no shortage of iron ore in Huaguo, but there is a lack of high-grade iron ore.

Chen Huaiqing has read a document that our iron ore mining cost (excluding freight) is US$80, while the CIF price of iron ore in Australia is only US$15-30!

Most of our iron ores are buried deep underground, and it is relatively difficult to mine them.

And most of the poor ore, rich ore only accounted for 2.8%.

In any case, Chen Huaiqing is very clear about one thing, raw materials continue to rise, and to put it bluntly, the supply cannot keep up.

Then, purchasing raw materials from abroad is a very normal choice.

Meta investment must speed up the layout in the field of raw materials.

Hua Guoguang imports iron ore every year, and it seems that when it is the most, it has reached 1.2 trillion RMB.

As for oil...

Also much older.

Regarding resources, Chen Huaiqing felt that it would be beneficial to import more from abroad.

We can't think about saving the money we earn from foreigners, and we have to use the money to buy things from them to make them feel that they have also made money.

The reason for the outbreak of the first Opium War, to put it bluntly, was caused by a trade dispute.

Exporting industrial products and buying raw materials, no matter what, we can all earn money.And the money earned has turned into high-rise buildings, various infrastructure, social welfare and scientific research funds.

If money is just a string of numbers, no matter how much you have, it is meaningless.

It has to be transformed into real property.

At this time, in the general manager's office of Yuzhou Iron and Steel, two big men looked at each other.

"Old Wang, what does the exchange mean? At first, we wanted to raise 7 million yuan, but the exchange said it was too high and told us to raise 5 million yuan. Now why are we asking whether we want to raise money?" Financing 10 billion?"

He Yuanhua was really surprised.

As for corporate financing, He Yuanhua really didn't understand in the past.

That is, after the Southwest Stock Exchange officially opened, He Yuanhua figured it out a bit.

The Southwest Stock Exchange is located in Yuzhou. For the people of Yuzhou, what do you really say?

Open your eyes!
Financial theory and so on, many people talk about it anyway.

As the general manager of Yuzhou Iron and Steel, He Yuanhua naturally devotes himself to the development of Yuzhou Iron and Steel.

After learning about the stock market, he had the idea of ​​going public in his heart.

IPO financing is good!

If you borrow money from the bank, you have to pay interest.

But if you raise money in the stock market, you can directly get a large sum of money without any interest.

The largest shareholder of Yuzhou Iron and Steel is Shuchuan State-owned Assets Corporation, and the second largest shareholder is Yuzhou State-owned Assets Corporation.

Then there are a group of employees who hold shares.

The listing of Yuzhou Iron and Steel was promoted by all parties.

The securitization of state-owned assets is conducive to the preservation and appreciation of state-owned assets.

Wang Yuguang was also very surprised: "If you want to say the biggest change on the exchange side, it should be Chen Huaiqing's return to Yuzhou."

Chen Huaiqing was absent during this period, and the exchange naturally operated normally.

But when Chen Huaiqing came back, the operation of the exchange would be different.

In the past, everyone might need to discuss things for a long time. Here, Chen Huaiqing may directly make a decision.

He Yuanhua: "You mean, this is what Chen Huaiqing meant?"

Wang Yuguang: "Mr. He, why don't you call and ask?"

Yuzhou Iron and Steel and Mota Group have quite a lot of cooperation. As the general manager of Yuzhou Iron and Steel, He Yuanhua has met Chen Huaiqing many times, and they have sat together for dinner many times.

In fact, instead of He Yuanhua calling, Chen Huaiqing called instead.

"Old He, are you living a good life now?"

He Yuanhua said with a smile: "My Mr. Chen, don't be joking. How I live today is up to you!"

"Don't say that, now I rely on you to live. How about it, how do you think about the one billion financing?"

The steel produced by Yuzhou Iron and Steel is not exported at all, and all of it is digested locally in Shuchuan.

There is no such thing as planned index production at all, and it is completely market-oriented.

There are several iron and steel enterprises in Shuchuan, but the output is not enough at all, and steel has to be bought from other provinces.

"I was still thinking, what the hell is going on! Mr. Chen, we Yuzhou Iron and Steel can't afford so much money!"

Yuzhou Iron and Steel naturally plans to expand its production capacity at this time, and the financing of 5 million yuan is enough to build a new factory.

Chen Huaiqing said with a smile: "Mr. He, let's have a meal together tonight and chat."

"Okay, I'll make a reservation. There's a new bone soup restaurant on XX Road, and it's delicious. How about we go there?"

It's not suitable to eat fried vegetables in cold weather!
How come it takes an hour or two to eat a meal, and the stir-fried vegetables are cold.

It is very good to eat soup pot or hot pot, it is warm, and you can eat it for as long as you like.

In Huaguo, there are not many things, just a lot of restaurants and restaurants.

Looking all over the street, within a few steps, there must be something that catches the eye.

Of course, at this time, these have not yet filled the streets, but there is already a trend.

Yuzhou's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and people's living habits have also changed a lot.

In the past, everyone didn't have much money, so naturally they could go home to eat, so they just went home.

But now, eating out has become the norm.

"Okay, seven o'clock in the evening."

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Huaiqing stood up and walked to the window.

The industry of a country cannot do without steel.

The strength of the steel industry determines the upper limit of the industry.

The strength of the steel industry is not only as simple as production capacity, but also high value-added and high-tech steel products.

Anyone can produce low-end steel. No matter how much that stuff is produced, what else can it be used for besides building low-level buildings?

High-end steel is the raw material for the manufacturing industry.

Chen Huaiqing hopes that Yuzhou Iron and Steel can increase investment in research and development of steel technology.

Perhaps, Yuzhou Special Steel was incorporated?

Yuzhou Special Steel mainly produces special steel, and many special steels of Mota Group come from Yuzhou Special Steel.

What cannot be produced domestically, Mota Group can only import from abroad.

In the field of special steel, there is still a gap.
