Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Luo Binghui's hand holding the microphone suddenly froze, and he asked in disbelief: "Mr. Yang! What did you say?"

Yang Mo couldn't explain to Luo Binghui. He couldn't say that these two places were too good and I wanted to leave them to others. But even from the current perspective, these two places were not suitable for Yang Mo's idea.

Yang Mo explained patiently: "Hongzhuling is a large place, but it has no waterway and does not have its own dock. Shekou does have a dock, but there is only so much space in total. As you said, we Zhiyuan can't take it all, right?"

Luo Binghui then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Mr. Yang, maybe I expressed it wrongly. Although Shekou Pier is a little smaller, the entire Shekou Commune is still quite big, plus the Lingding Island, Dachan Island, and Mazhou Island under its jurisdiction The three islands should also cover a full twelve square kilometers..."

Yang Mo's heart moved. He had been to Dachan Bay more than once in his previous life, and the remaining memories of Dachan Island also flashed in his mind. Dachan Island, which is only 0.65 square kilometers, looks like a big shovel, standing on the west side of Shekou Pier. On the sea surface of Qianwan Bay, together with Xiaochan Island in the north and Mazhou Island in the south, they are collectively called "Big and Small Chan Islands". This is an almost natural heavy industrial base.

Yang Mo thought for a while and then said: "Why don't we talk to Secretary Tang and see if we can take down the entire Dachan Island as our production base, and Mawan, Qianwan, and Guiwan opposite Dachan Bay as living areas."

Luo Binghui said: "This shouldn't be a big problem, but isn't Dachan Island a little too remote? Infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, and workers' commuting are all a problem!"

Yang Mo said lightly: "Lao Luo, you go and talk first, whether it's the three links or logistics support. It's not too late for us to find a way ourselves if the government can't provide it. There must be a road to the mountain, and there is always a way." There’s a way!”

"What about the total investment of the entire project?" Luo Binghui asked.

Yang Mo thought for a while and then said: "The project is tentatively set at 3000 million U.S. dollars. It will be invested in five phases within two years. The first phase of [-] million U.S. dollars can be invested after signing the contract. This is only a conservative estimate. The total investment will far exceed this. Figures, if Xin'an County shows enough sincerity, it is not a problem to double the total investment amount..."

Luo Binghui murmured in his heart: How many times?Invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a county with a total industrial and agricultural production value of only 6000 million yuan?I’m afraid people wouldn’t believe it if I told you!

But he agreed: "Mr. Yang, don't worry, before signing the contract, I will compile a planning document and investment report as soon as possible and send them back to you for your final decision!"

Yang Mo then asked: "After a few days of investigation, do Lao Chen and the others have any ideas?"

Luo Binghui said: "Mr. Chen still feels that it is not suitable to invest in large steel companies here. He believes that Zhiyuan Steel Company's high-end special steel products are mainly for European and American customers, and there are no rich iron ores in the mainland, so it cannot form an industrial chain advantage. The most critical thing is that due to the restrictions of the "Batumi Agreement", some advanced metallurgical equipment cannot be shipped to the mainland, and iron ore procurement and steel sales will also be affected by tariffs..."

Yang Mo actually asked Chen Rongchang to explore the way. He knew better than anyone else that China would not relax foreign investment controls in the metallurgical industry for a long time. Even in the early stage of the market economy, steel products with serious insufficient production capacity were privileged. When the strata were being speculated at sky-high prices, the country did not choose to open up foreign investment to enter this field that is related to the national economy and people's livelihood!

Facts have also proved that this decision was extremely wise. With the support of national-level policies, China's faltering metallurgical companies finally developed muscles and eventually accounted for 57% of the world's production capacity.

Yang Mo thought for a while and continued to ask: "Have you discussed the idea of ​​establishing a wholly-owned steel company with Secretary Tang?

Luo Binghui replied: "We mentioned it on the first day we came here, but the local government is not very enthusiastic. It has not yet been decided which industries will be opened. Steel and oil are restricted areas, and even the eastern Guangdong Province cannot make the decision. Secretary Tang also mentioned this matter today. If Zhiyuan Steel Company is willing to invest in a domestic steel company with technology, equipment, and funds, it can sit down and talk with comrades from the Ministry of Metallurgy, but the premise is that Zhiyuan cannot be controlled..."

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "You and Lao Chen can first talk to the Ministry of Metallurgy about the specific stakes. As long as the conditions are agreed, we Zhiyuan don't have to hold the controlling stake. If we can hold the controlling share, we can even promise not to enter the field of crude steel. !”

Luo Binghui said in surprise: "Are you so optimistic about the mainland steel market?"

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "Be prepared! The mechanical production base we are about to build will have a considerable demand for various steel products in the future..."

Just as Luo Binghui was about to put down the phone, he suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Yang! Assistant Fang has an idea that I think is feasible..."

"what idea?"

Luo Binghui continued: "Assistant Fang believes that whether it is Shekou Industrial Park or the entire Xin'an County, with the opening of the country, there will be many mainland enterprises that need to purchase foreign equipment and export products, and even introduce professional technology and management talents. To meet the needs, Zhiyuan Technical Consulting Services Company should also set up a branch in the mainland?"

Yang Mo laughed and said: "This is a good idea. Let Xiaofang do it boldly. As a technical consulting company, if you want to do it, you should do it in a grand way, so that you can gain the trust of customers!"

After Luo Binghui reported the investment intention of the inspection team to Tang Yongping, like thunder on the ground, the entire Xin'an County government became busy. This was 3000 million U.S. dollars, and it promised that the first phase of [-] million U.S. dollars would be paid after signing the contract...

Tang Yongping did not dare to neglect and rushed to Langdu overnight to report to Langdu Administrative Office Commissioner Xie Yulin and Prefectural Committee Secretary Xu Guomin.

Three months ago, Xu Guoming was a promising deputy director of the Economic and Trade Commission. He was suddenly transferred to Langdu as secretary of the prefectural committee. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he was shouldering the mission entrusted to him by this era to lead the economy. He is the leader who is trying to cross the river by feeling the stones while preparing the SAR government.

After listening to Tang Yongping's report, Xu Guoguo asked with a solemn expression: "Are you sure the inspection team said [-] million US dollars? Not Hong Kong dollars?"

Tang Yongping nodded and said: "Yes, Secretary Xu! At first, the investment idea proposed by Luo Binghui, the leader of the inspection team, was to invest 3000 million U.S. dollars in one go. After a few days of inspection, it was suddenly increased to 1 million U.S. dollars. Within two years, It will be invested in five phases, and it is said that this decision was made personally by the boss of their group!”

Xie Yulin frowned and asked: "What is the origin of this Zhiyuan Company? A project with a total investment of [-] million US dollars, and a decision was made so casually? Does it have such strong strength?"
