Chapter 23 Li He's Hard Work
December 2015, Earth.
Li He is now the general manager of Gaia Trading, a newly emerging enterprise group in the ancient city area. Since Zhang Quan went abroad, Li He, a former white-collar worker, has been in charge of this stall. In the past few months, this guy has tried his best to recruit talents, reorganize the company structure, and open up various relationships. Finally, he has barely formed the stall left by Zhang Quan, which looks like a modern enterprise.
Today, Gaia Trading Group owns a foreign trade company based in Guangzhou, a local food processing factory, a hardware processing factory, and also owns 49% of the shares of another local steel company, Maling Steel Factory.
Although the scale of these subsidiaries in the group is not large, the total capital is not large, and the total is only tens of millions, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. After some integration, Gaia Trade has indeed deepened its hands into many key industries with strong backgrounds such as food, hardware processing, and steel. It also has the leading foreign trade to integrate, which is also very broad-minded and has the intention of long-term development.
As the general manager of Xinzha of such a group, Li He is now a figure in the business industry in the ancient city. As the saying goes, he is about to marry a rich and beautiful woman. His life has reached the peak level that modern urban *** Si can dream of. Compared to just two months ago, he was just an ordinary worker in the downtown area of the ancient city, the leap of this class is not big for him.
He was naturally very satisfied with the life in front of him, and was naturally very grateful to his good brother Zhang Quan who helped him. However, if he said too explicitly, he would be too disgusting. He could only devote more to his work to express himself.
As a general manager, no matter how you look at Gaia Group, the real profit point is in the steel project, so the cooperation between the group and Maling Steel Plant is particularly important in his opinion. He has to go there from time to time, and get close to Li Gensheng, the old director of the steel plant, and he also cares about the cooperation and development of the two companies. Now that he has money and just bought a house, Li He didn't care about the busy work of building a house with his fiancée, so he ran over again.
Maling Steel Plant was a cooperation with Zhang Quan in July, and it has been more than four months since then. The high efficiency of the industrial society today has been fully utilized in the transformation of Maling Steel Plant. At that time, the ore given by Zhang Quan took out finished steel with market value in half a month. After the new product was launched, a large amount of iron ore from Gaia World poured out and poured into the small steel mill of township enterprises in this world.
In August, the steel plant had only digested hundreds of tons of new iron ore, but in September it became several thousand. By October and November, the new product line of the steel plant was completely stable, and the renovated new steel furnaces were constantly running all night. The daily production and production of new steel materials had been nearly 1,000 tons, and the monthly digestion of new iron ore was tens of thousands, with both production and sales. The capital in the factory also expanded rapidly and became a newly emerging large-scale factory mine.
Nowadays, the Maling Steel Plant of this scale is no longer a township enterprise in Shangou in Mian County. According to its current scale, in October alone, steel sales revenue reached more than 20 million yuan, creating a profit of several million yuan. The products not only occupy the local market in Mian County, but also penetrate into other areas of the steel application market around the ancient city area.
Although the new steel varieties of Maling Steel Plant cannot meet the quality of special steel, their quality is definitely higher than the quality of most building materials steels on the market. There is more room for development in many application fields, and the newly formed laboratory of Maling Steel Plant is also working towards this.
It has to be said that the cooperation between Zhang Quan and Li Gensheng led to the successful transformation of Maling Steel Plant, giving Li Gensheng, a township enterprise like a small workshop owner, the opportunity for old trees to sprout.
Therefore, the combination between Maling Steel Plant and Gaia Trade is naturally closer. Gaia Trade not only controls the iron ore supply of Maling Steel Plant, but also according to the agreement signed by Zhang Quan and Li Gensheng, the newly formed steel sales department in Gaia Trade Group has also begun to explore the market in many aspects, basically controlling the sales of Maling Steel Plant in addition to the local market in Mian County.
In this way, many decisions made by the senior management of Gaia Trade will directly affect Maling Steel Plant. In some cases, Maling Steel Plant has gradually become a branch of Gaia Trade. In order to be a good company, Li He has a lot of knowledge about the steel materials market. Now, when he goes to the Maling Steel Plant factory, he discusses the production of the factory with Li Gensheng and the other two.
"Old Director Li, we can't just rely on these kinds of steels to make a living!" Li Heyu said to Lao Li earnestly, "These steels are all major goods in the market, and everyone has them. The competitive pressure is too great. You are an old expert, so you must understand. In recent years, the domestic steel market is saturated and the competition is fierce. It is becoming more and more difficult for factories like ours to survive, especially for old factories that produce steel for building materials.
Don’t you read the news a few days ago, the Hebei Provincial Government has banned dozens of private small steel mills like ours in a high-profile manner. Although we have certain advantages, our new steel grades are sufficient to compete with the steel grades of those large factories in terms of price and quality, many things are not that simple. Our country’s policies have always been biased towards their own sons. If our small steel mills like us want to survive in the market, they still have our own unique skills!”
Li He's words seem reasonable, but in fact they are just a cliché. In fact, their original intention is to urge the factory to develop new steel grades and open up a new steel market. Li Gensheng has been in this industry for most of his life and can't understand what's happening in this industry.
In the past, Maling Steel Plant has always been focusing on the local civil steel market in Mian County, purely self-sufficiency. Now that the production has expanded and new steel types have become new, they have begun to consider the matters of the steel market outside. The cruel market competition, this concept does not exist for production talents like Li Gensheng. If you can produce good steel, are you still worried about not being able to sell it?
Old Li frowned his old face, gave Li He a cigarette, lit another one on his mouth, and then said:
"Isn't this laboratory just a few days ago? I'm working hard to study our own unique skills? I've seen all the young men in the laboratory. They are all good young men from famous universities. A few of them were dug up by you, Manager Li, personally?
I guess the new steel type is about to be around the corner. In a few months, there will be fruitful results. Our products can be entered into the high-end steel market, and there will be special steel. Speaking of which, it is better to rely on the iron ore made by Boss Zhang for us. I asked Gong Yang and Gong Gao. They all said that they had never seen such a good ore. Not only is the ore very high taste, but the internal trace elements are also reasonable and suitable for processing and processing. They are almost a natural good steel embryo.
Even with relatively poor processing and smelting conditions now, we can produce very good quality steel, and the processing cost is so low that it is not known wherever other factories. If we can't compete with others, it will be embarrassing and tiring for Boss Zhang."
Old Li's words made Li He's face turn dark. He didn't know that a rough man like Old Li threw the responsibility to him in a few words.
"Oh, yes, yes, that's not what it means!" He had to lift this layer and urge Lao Li directly. This effect might be better.
"So! With such good conditions, we must hurry up and get some new steel grades as soon as possible, open up a stable market, and wait for more channels to stabilize, the factory will be able to rest assured. Lao Li, don't you?"
"Yeah, that's the reason!" Old Li took a puff of cigarettes and smacked his lips. The current situation is no wonder Li He is anxious. In October and November, the factory suddenly expanded production, and the output was several times that of the past. The pressure of product exports suddenly increased. Many of them were markets that Li He led Gaia traders to fight to the death. Many were unstable. Without new special steel types, it was difficult to maintain the current Maling Steel Plant, and the survival of such a large-scale steel plant.
"Okay, it seems that I still have to stare at it. Let the laboratory work overtime, set up several new steels as soon as possible, and enter the high-end market. This seems to be a big deal."
"That's it, that's it!" Li He saw that he finally moved Old Li, and quickly echoed, then changed his tone and said, "In addition! The new furnace we ordered from abroad must be installed quickly. This brand new production line has at least ten years of production technology than the current one, and the output is more than ten times that of the past. Moreover, the same output, energy consumption and cost have dropped a lot. Our factory will be counted on it to be exhausted in the future."
Speaking of this, Lao Li was also very proud. The newly purchased production line includes electric furnaces, converters, and many advanced dust removal, booster and oxygen production equipment. The entire set is tens of millions, which is the largest investment since the establishment of the steel plant. Once it is truly operational, the Maling Steel Plant will suddenly get rid of the current regional enterprise level, be completely renewed, and be in the same level as the previous level.
This matter is not only the Maling Steel Plant is rushing around, but even the new government of the Jian County and even the officials in the Gucheng area are very concerned about it and helping to contact loans to expand production. This is Lao Li's most proud big deal.
For such things, no one else has to beat the drums beside him. Old Li will do his best, and he will also use Li He to say more. Li He said this, but in fact, it is just to make Old Li more proud of his glorious achievements.
Old Li felt so happy for a while, and suddenly he came back to his taste.
"Hey! Something is wrong! Just now, your Manager Li was still looking unlucky and was nagging. He was so difficult to sell steel plant products? As soon as my new production line was launched, the output was at least five times larger than the current basis. By then, there will be so much more steel at once. I think who will you sell to?"
