"This is actually another reason why I support the great development of the real estate industry."

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, "For the great development of the real estate industry, it is inseparable from steel, cement, and engineering machinery, which will bring opportunities to our equipment manufacturing industry. At the beginning, we introduced technology from Western countries and spent more than 20 years to digest and absorb these technologies into our own technology, just to use it at this time. In recent years, as the scale of infrastructure in China, including the real estate industry, has been expanding, and steel plants are being built everywhere. Qinzhong and Puzhong have too many orders for metallurgical equipment."

"Is that so? Is there such a thing?" Meng Fanze was in a mood. When he was just retired, he often asked about some things in the industrial field and could get a lot of information. In recent years, he has grown older and his energy is not as good as before, so he is not very clear about some things. He heard from Feng Xiaochen that Qin Chong and Pu Chong had too many orders to be busy. His first feeling was excitement, which shows that the country's industry is thriving, and this is also the dream that their generation has been pursuing.

Feng Xiaochen said: "That's true. In the past three years, 12 new hot-rolled and cold-rolled production lines above 1,700 mm have been built in China, with an additional steel rolling capacity of more than 40 million tons. Among these 12 lines, 6 are produced by us ourselves and have complete intellectual property rights. In addition, there are more than 40 thermal power plants under construction in China, with a total installed capacity of more than 50 million kilowatts, and 80% of the equipment is domestically produced."

"Is it the technology introduced by Longshan Motor Factory?" Meng Fanze asked.

"Yes, the technology introduced by Longdian and Dongdian companies has been basically digested now. The design level of some equipment has even surpassed that of the American Xiyi Company and can be among the world's top players." Feng Xiaochen said proudly.

"Good job!" Meng Fanze praised, "This fully demonstrates that the policy that our country has made to introduce advanced foreign technologies for me was completely correct. In addition, the work of your equipment company is also very effective. Without you taking the lead in organizing equipment companies across the country to actively research and digest and absorb and introduce technology, we would not have formed our own design and manufacturing capabilities so quickly."

"The work we do is very limited." Feng Xiaochen said modestly, and then said: "The most important factor is that we are a big country with a huge market. The technology we introduce can be quickly applied and tested in the market and improved through market feedback. Even if some small countries obtain technology, it is difficult to find a place to use it, and there is no room for development."

"Indeed, this is the advantage of a great country." Meng Fanze sighed.

Feng Xiaochen reported to Meng Fanze by no means falsely. Since the beginning of the new century, China's fixed asset investment has continued to expand, and a large number of residential, roads, bridges and port construction has created an unprecedented market for raw materials and engineering machinery, and raw material production and engineering machinery manufacturing have put forward strong demands for the equipment manufacturing industry. At this time, it fully reflects the foresight of the country's policy of promoting the localization of major technical equipment 20 years ago. If there was no independent equipment manufacturing industry, such a large equipment market would be entirely dependent on foreign countries, and the feeling of being cut off by others would be worse than death.

Here we might as well compare several sets of real-world data:

In 2000, the mileage of highways in China was 1.68 million kilometers, including 16,300 kilometers of expressways; in 2016, the mileage of highways was 4.7 million kilometers, including 131,000 kilometers of expressways.

In 2000, the national railway operating mileage was 68,700 kilometers; in 2016, it was 124,000 kilometers, of which the mileage of high-speed railways opened from scratch, and in 2016, the operating mileage reached 23,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world.

In 2000, the national installed capacity of power generation was 320 million kilowatts, and in 2016 it reached 1.65 billion kilowatts, which is five times that of 2000.

In terms of residential construction, after 2000, the average residential area completed in the country reached 1.5 billion square meters per year, which is equivalent to an increase of 1 square meter per year. Don’t underestimate this figure. In 1978, the per capita residential building area of ​​urban residents in China was only 6.7 square meters, while in rural areas it was 8.1 square meters.

In 2016, China's annual steel production was 1.135 billion tons, 8.7 times that in 2000 and 52 times that in 1978; the fertilizer production was 66 million tons, 7.6 times that in 1978; the ethylene production was 17.81 million tons, 47 times that in 1978. There are also 670,000 metal cutting machine tools, 7.95 million tons of mining special equipment, 620,000 large and medium-sized tractors, 28 million cars, 130 million kW of power generation equipment, 2.4 billion tons of cement, and 800 million weight boxes of flat glass...

Behind all these booming capacity growth is the strong equipment manufacturing industry as support. The efforts of several generations are reaping fruitful results.

Just as Feng Xiaochen and Meng Fanze were talking about China's industrial development, Ning Mo, chairman of Yichuan Moyang Trading Co., Ltd., Linhe Province, and Zhao Yang, general manager, walked into the gate of Clark Iron and Steel Company in Madhya Pradesh, India. Accompanying them was an Indian man over 30 years old, dark skin and handsome facial features.

"Laoduo, are you sure to take this company? Lao Zhao and I ran so far with you, and I was so constipated by eating curry. If you can't take this company, I will never finish it with you. When you go to China in the future, I will hit you once you see you. Do you know?"

Ning Mo smiled and warned the handsome Indian guy beside him. The Indian man's surname was Dopur, and there was a long list of real names, father's name, village name, etc., which Ning Mo had never remembered. Finally, for the sake of convenience, he gave Dopur a nickname called Lao Duo. Dopur didn't care about it, so he accepted it happily.

Doble is considered a "China Master" in India because he studied in China for four years. He only learned the academic secretary who helped him complete hundreds of re-examination procedures for his professional courses. However, he used these four years to visit many scenic spots in China and learned more than a dozen dialects. He could even chat with people in Sichuan Mandarin for half an hour without any trouble.

With the report card of patching, Doble got his graduation certificate. After returning to India, Doble worked in several companies and was responsible for trade affairs with China. After working for a while, he thought the work in the company was too boring and his income was too low, so he left and opened a company with only one person, became a professional broker, and specialized in selling Chinese things to India, and his business was very prosperous.

Doble's friendship with Ningmo started when he bought decorative stones from Ningmo. Ningmo was a very easy-going person, especially liked to make friends with various alternative attributes. Doble was an Indian who speaks Chinese and has a very lively personality. Ningmo became friends after having a meal with him. This time, Ningmo and Zhao Yang were invited by Doble to come to India to sell steelmaking equipment.

Ning Mo was originally a child of the Lengshui Iron Mine in Linhe Province. When Feng Xiaochen went to the Lengshui Mine to contact the dump truck industry for experiments, he gave a trick to the Lengshui Mine, asking them to use granite peeled off the surface of the open-pit mine to make decorative stones. Ning Mo, who was still an unemployed young man in the mine, entered the stone factory as a worker. A few years later, Ning Mo and Zhao Yang, who were unwilling to be lonely, volunteered to sell defective stones from the stone factory. They were guided by Feng Xiaochen and packaged the defective products into "foreign trade tail orders". After that, they set up their own company to specialize in selling stones.

Later, Ning Mo met Han Jiangyue, and in the process of helping Han Jiangyue contracting Xinmin Hydraulic Tool Factory, he moved the beauty, tied the knot with Han Jiangyue, and made a good story.

In recent years, Xinmin Hydraulic Tool Factory has been growing stronger under the leadership of Han Jiangyue. It is now one of the top hydraulic parts manufacturing companies in China and has also gained a place on the international hydraulic equipment stage.

Ning Mo played an important role in the development of new hydraulics. When the development of new hydraulics came to an end and all management was on track, he found that he had no use in this company anymore. Han Jiangyue is an excellent entrepreneur. The managers recruited in the company have rich experience and superb professional skills, far from being comparable to Ning Mo, a semi-illiterate person. Ning Mo was unwilling to be a decoration in the company, and at the same time he missed the wonderful life of fooling customers with Zhao Yang, so he returned to his old business and started trade again.

The company that Ning Mo and Zhao Yang jointly opened was named Moyang Trading Company. In recent years, Zhao Yang was mainly supported by Zhao Yang alone. The business was not bad or too good. It felt a little as if he was a little rich. After Ning Mo returned to Moyang Company, Zhao Yang also cheered up and prepared to have a big fight with his old friends.

At this time, cold water iron ore was approaching the period of resource depletion. Instead, the stone processing industry developed as a side business that year became more and more prosperous, and cold water iron ore had almost transformed into cold water stone ore. Due to the development of the domestic real estate industry, the demand for stone has increased sharply, and hundreds of stone manufacturing and sales companies have emerged in various places, turning this market into a fiercely competitive "red ocean".

Although Ning Mo and Zhao Yang's business are still acceptable, it is no longer the same as when they were almost making money while lying down. In addition, they have already had some savings, Ning Mo has a president's wife worth billions, and there is no such feeling as excited as signing a 30,000 or 50,000 order in the past. There are not many opportunities to get rich in the market, and there are even more opportunities than more than ten years ago. However, Ning Mo and Zhao Yang are already middle-aged, with insufficient thinking and no motivation as compared to young people, so they can only watch many opportunities, but they can't grab them.
