Chapter 209 Moving forward with a heavy load(1/4)
Having a port in the Bohai Bay has been a strategic goal of Li Xuewu since he laid out the Steel City.
Of course, he did get a port, but it was an inland river and could only be used for short-term transportation.
The shipping tasks undertaken by Tianjin are all sea transportation. There will be no problems with these cargo ships in the short term because they are all new.
However, long-term shipping requires maintenance and adjustment, and it is impossible without an own ship repair yard.
Also, Li Xuewu used trade projects to lure Li Huaide, thereby promoting the development of shipbuilding and shipping projects.
These two projects will be used to support trade and connect the administrative distance between the Steel City and the capital faster, thus breaking the geographical restrictions and allowing the steel rolling mill to have a production base in the Steel City.
The current main task of the steel rolling mill is to undertake the production plan handed over from above. This is not allowed to be pushed back, let alone not done.
There is no problem in developing light industry and tertiary services in the capital city next to the steel rolling mill. This is what the policy advocates.
However, rebuilding a heavy- and light-mixed industrial base next to a production-oriented steel rolling mill will be limited in terms of land, scale, personnel and other factors.
Especially with the development of the current situation, in the next few years, Beijing will be the center of the storm and the focus of work. Emerging industries are not suitable for development here.
But Steel City is different. The city was founded primarily for industrial production. Steel City itself is also a city established for the development of heavy industry.
In that land, the construction of heavy industry is not unusual, but the construction of light industry is.
Therefore, Li Xuewu's future development goals for the steel rolling mill were very clear. The light industry was in the capital and the joint venture was established.
If there are risks, then get everyone to do it together. Just because Jing Yunong can't handle it doesn't mean that he can't handle it either.
As for emerging development heavy and light mixed industrial bases, they must be placed in Steel City and Zuoban Steelworks, which are surrounded by mature heavy industry foundations to facilitate integrated procurement of products.
Nowadays, if we want to talk about a good industrial foundation, we have to talk about the Northeast. One Northeast can support the whole country.
Old Biaozi talked about the steel mill again, then looked at Sister Lou, indicating if she wanted to continue talking about the Steel City Recycling Station.
Sister Lou looked at Li Xuewu who was looking down at the information, then asked: "What do you think about the fleet and the Steel City Recycling Station?"
"What? Is there a problem?"
When Li Xuewu works, he will inevitably be serious and bring out a strong aura, just like in his office.
Sister Lou frowned slightly and said, "I don't see much in Steel City that is worthy of vigorous efforts to develop trade. The development of the recycling station there is a bit lame."
"Tell me about it"
Li Xuewu was not in a hurry to explain his layout to Sister Lou and Biaozi. He wanted to hear what they saw and thought about in Steel City.
Seeing Li Xuewu put down the materials in his hand and listen carefully, Sister Lou also became more formal and began to express her opinions.
"Now Wen Hanze is in charge of the overall business and the trade business with the steel mills, Zhang Wanhe is in charge of shipping, and Zhou Ziqiang is in charge of the steel city recycling station business."
Sister Lou first pointed out the basic management situation, and then introduced: "The personnel composition can basically be divided into three parts, one is from Jicheng, one is from Beijing, and the other is from Gangcheng."
"Zhang Wanhe brought over more than 60 people from Jicheng. They trust him very much. Basically, there are people from Jicheng in the three businesses."
"The people from the capital were transported there through us, headed by Zhou Changli, there are about a hundred people, mainly in trade projects and ships."
"Gangcheng people, that is, local people, some stayed with the ship, and some were recruited locally by Wen Hanze, mainly in recycling depots and shipping companies."
Holding a pen in her hand, Sister Lou looked at Li Xuewu and said: "The development of shipping is still focused on training and inland waterway freight. There are many people on board, but it has not yet achieved profitability, and is even losing money."
While talking, he picked up a financial report and handed it to Li Xuewu and said: "If it weren't for the recycling station and trading projects to make money, I'm afraid I would have to sell the ship to pay off the debt."
Li Xuewu took the financial report and looked at it. Indeed, Dongfeng Shipping had large losses every month in fuel, maintenance, materials, etc.
He just looked at it without commenting, waiting for Sister Lou to continue.
"Shipping, because you said you have shipping business, let's not talk about that for now, let's talk about the recycling bin business first."
Sister Lou said seriously: "Zhou Ziqiang reported to me that his main job is to deliver goods and adjust goods, just like a transport driver, and that is exactly what he does."
As he spoke, he took out a document from the materials and handed it to Li Xuewu, saying: "He bought three 'waste' trucks from the food factory, and now he is working on this one."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the silly Da Qiangzi had such ability.
Sister Lou seemed to see what he meant, squinting her eyes and said: "So, the recycling station is not as self-sufficient as the one here in Beijing."
Seeing Li Xuewu frown slightly, she emphasized: "This is very important. No one can guarantee that the situation will remain stable. Do you dare to do this in Beijing? Can you guarantee that Steel City will not become like Beijing?"
Li Xuewu nodded, indicating that he agreed with Sister Lou's point of view, but still did not express his opinion and motioned for her to continue.
Sister Lou tapped the table with the pen in her hand and said: "It is not so troublesome to set up a transportation team. Occupying a port and guarding an investigation department office will not connect the future port city at all."
After speaking, she pulled out a document and handed it over, motioning to Li Xuewu to read it. She herself introduced: "The only thing that has developed is the trade project. Even the recycling bins are living on it."
"The trading projects that Wen Hanze is responsible for mainly connect the three ends of steel mills, recycling depots and shipping, receiving goods from the steel mills, bulk delivery to recycling depots and shipping, and then receiving goods from both ends to supply to the steel mills."
.
"I have to say this"
Lao Biaozi said with a smile: "Sanjiu is really doing a lot there. Many companies in Steel City have unplanned goods that are given to trading projects through recycling bins, and trade goods are obtained from the trading projects. The profits are very high.
rich".

Li Xuewu looked at the financial report of Steel City and said that it is not an exaggeration to say that trading projects support shipping.
After sighing with emotion, he looked up at the two of them and said, "Continue, where is Jicheng?"
"Ji Cheng..."
Lao Biaozi said: "The situation is very ordinary. We went to look around. The business of the waste recycling station that was originally a cargo station was not very good. After all, no one went out to collect it."
"Um"
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "This is what I said, I want them to focus on stability."
Lao Biaozi looked at Sister Lou, who answered: "Looking at it now, Jicheng's problems are also very serious. One of them is that the situation cannot be solved."
"The goods from the mountain are still sent down through Zhang Wanhe's people, and then Zhou Ziqiang sends people to receive them."
“The second one is the inability to support oneself”
Sister Lou frowned and said: "It's just like the recycling bin in Steel City. It's turned into a cargo station. It misses the point at all. As you said, it's not down to earth."
After listening to what they said, Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It seems that there are many problems and they are also very difficult."
"Of course, this is the inevitable result of career development."
General Li Xuewu organized the documents in his hands one by one and put them aside. At the same time, he asked: "How are the preparations for the timber and dry goods business?"
"Xilin took Ge Lin to several places, but they still relied on the second uncle's face."
Lao Biaozi explained: "My second uncle said that people in the mountains have their own set of rules for doing things. He can force them, but in the end they are not appropriate."
"Well, of course"
Li Xuewu nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is Ding Wanqiu? What are you doing?"
When Sister Lou heard this name, she frowned, looked at Lao Biaozi, and motioned to him.
Lao Biaozi saw Sister Lou's eyes, clenched his hands, and said hesitantly: "What we learned in the past is that he basically did nothing. He just wandered around Jicheng every day, leaving during the day and returning at night."
Li Xuewu raised his head slightly, knowing that Sister Lou didn't say anything about this man's intention to save him face.
He was the one who arranged for this person to do things in the past. Now that this person has stretched his hips, of course Sister Lou can't dismantle him.
Li Xuewu's brother had to decide whether this matter was appropriate, otherwise it would seem like she was blowing the wind.
"Let's start with Steel City, one by one."
Li Xuewu reached out and patted the documents at hand, and said: "We have no foundation for doing things in Steel City. Only my third uncle can do these things."
"Of course, there are some things that are not convenient for Third Uncle to come forward."
Li Xuewu pursed his lips and said: "Use your third uncle to control the overall situation, Zhang Wanhe to manage the shipping, and Zhou Ziqiang to manage the recycling bin. What we need is a tripartite balance."
After speaking, Lao Biaozi asked: "As you can see, the relationship between Zhou Ziqiang and Zhang Wanhe is not as close as it was when they were in the capital?"
"this……"
Lao Biaozi thought about it carefully and said: "Maybe... it has something to do with the lack of business overlap."
"The shipping department does not care about matters on the shore, and the third uncle is responsible for allocating the goods. Zhang Wanhe has no contact with Zhou Ziqiang in business."
"Yes!"
Li Xuewu patted the shipping document and said: "Zhang Wanhe is a local snake, so drive him into the sea."
"He is old and his subordinates are young and strong. Sooner or later they will disobey him."
Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said: "If you let Zhou Ziqiang manage the recycling bin and not go to the sea, then Zhang Wanhe will be like a toothless tiger, and Zhou Ziqiang will be like a headless fly."
"As for the development of recycling stations, take your time. Geographical factors have prevented them from getting established. This is also the reason why we chose the port as our base in the first place."
"It's not the same thing as Beijing"
Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said: "Of course, it is necessary to put down roots. You discuss it with your third uncle and come up with a plan. I will urge them to do it when I go to Steel City."
After giving Sister Lou the task, Li Xuewu continued: "The shipping matter cannot be rushed, because the wind is too strong this time, and the contract that has been signed at Jinmen Port has not been released. Wait, it won't take two days."
We can start business within days.”
