The 50,000 tons of steel were never delivered, and Zhu Guoxiong only gave him 20,000 tons in the end.

Twenty thousand is twenty thousand. In this way, before the second phase of Hongya Steel Plant is put into operation, he will have a quota of 120,000 tons of high-quality steel.

One hundred and twenty thousand tons of steel is definitely enough for now, but we are afraid that it will become insufficient after the sales of trucks increase significantly.

Liang Guoyong was speechless as he watched the old man and the young man dividing the spoils.

The current production capacity of 300,000 tons of Hongya Steel Plant was solved by these two people in just a few words.

Of course this is a good thing, as Hongya Steel Plant no longer has to develop and find markets on its own.

Wan Feng and Zhu Guoxiong here did not take the steel from Hongya Steel Plant seriously, but the news that Hongya Steel Plant could produce 900 MPa special steel shocked the whole country.

For a time, countless military personnel were excited.

The reason why the Chinese military has not made any achievements in large-scale projects in recent years and has not built any influential equipment is not only because it has no money but also because it cannot buy good steel.

Although Baosteel can also produce some special steels, its output is not high and its quality has not yet met the military's requirements.

Now that good steel has appeared, of course some project leaders are ready to take action.

Hongya Steel Plant currently produces only ordinary steel bars, and round steel and I-beams will appear in the second phase of the project.

By the third phase, steel products for various purposes will appear.

This is how the Russian drawings were designed.

The steel is available and the car is almost finalized.

Next, we need to solve the production line and manpower issues.

But a problem arises again.

Manufacturing cars requires a huge site, especially for Nanwan Group, which manufactures both trucks and cars. The area of ​​the new factory seems not enough.

Wan Feng started to have a headache again. It was impossible to build a factory in just two or three years. Would he be able to do anything else?

This problem must be solved once and for all.

We should find a piece of land of more than 500 acres to build a base specifically for manufacturing cars, so as to avoid the trouble of building factories and bases in a few days.

After the opening ceremony of the steel plant, the county party committee leaders accompanied the municipal party committee leaders to inspect the downstream of the steel plant.

About three or four miles downstream from the steel plant is the Yellow Sea.

From here to the seaside is a large area of ​​irrigated and dry fields, with one or two villages in between.

Wan Feng originally didn't plan to join in the fun, but was dragged here by Liang Guoyong.

"Uncle Liang! You know I don't want to join in this kind of fun, why did you drag me here?"

Sitting in the car, Wan Feng began to blame Liang Guoyong.

"Just keep going along this dirt road until you reach the beach."

Liang Guoyong did not answer Wan Feng's words, but just gave instructions to Yang Jianguo at the beginning.

Although the three or four li road was a bumpy dirt road, we still reached the beach in a few minutes.

"Do you know why I dragged you here?" Liang Guoyong asked, standing on the beach and letting the sea breeze blow on him.

Wan Feng shook his head: "How would I know?"

"Our county's economic development has been good in the past two years. The city is planning to establish two development zones in our county. You will be in Wei, of course, one of them. The other development zone will be located on the coast, and this is the preferred location for the development zone."

Want to build a development zone?

This is great news.

Not only has the administrative level of the development zone been improved, but there are also various beneficial policies and a certain degree of autonomy.

It is not surprising that Jiangwei has become a development zone. If development zones had been popular in the past few years, Jiangwei would have become one long ago.

Another development zone is to be selected here...

Wan Feng needs to consider this carefully.

Not only is this place far away from Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei can't get any benefits at all!

At this time, Wan Feng's selfish thoughts began to stir.

It is obviously not beneficial for Jiangwei to build the development zone here. Even if Jiangwei is not near the sea, it cannot be too far away.

"Uncle Liang! I don't think this place is suitable for building a development zone." It is certainly unreasonable for his hometown not to benefit.

Wan Feng expressed his objection.

Although Liang Guoyong's words may not count, he can have a say with the county party committee leaders.

Wan Feng believed that Liang Guoyong's opinion was seriously considered by the county committee.

"Oh~, why?"

"You want to build a development zone by the sea simply to take advantage of the convenient waterway, but this sea is obviously not suitable."

Liang Guoyong looked at Wan Feng in confusion, waiting for Wan Feng's next words.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this place is full of pits and valleys now, but don't forget that when the tide goes out, you can roll up your pants and walk to Clam Island."

Clam Island is just three miles ahead in the sea, connected to the mainland by a concrete bridge.

Wan Feng said it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that one could walk all the way to Clam Island by rolling up their trouser legs after the tide went out, but he guaranteed that there would be no problem walking from here to Clam Island, three miles away, by wading in waist-high water.

The average water depth here does not exceed one meter after low tide. Not to mention larger ships, even small boats are in danger of running aground.

Liang Guoyong nodded: "This one makes sense, but where is Mingyang?"

Mingyang?

Mingyang is 30 kilometers west of Hongya County and borders Pulan County.

It is even farther away from Jiangwei.

Even the ten thousand peaks here are too far away, let alone places further away.

"Why don't you take a look at Black Lagoon? There are some good places in Black Lagoon Township."

"Black Lagoon! The county really hasn't considered it."

This is regional discrimination. Why was Mingyang considered but Heijiao was not?

"Heijiao Wuquan is the deepest place east of Hongya County. The water depth is usually about ten meters, and it can reach fourteen or fifteen meters during high tide. It is suitable for building a medium-sized port. If such a port is built, if the development zone is located there, it will also be able to be utilized."

The waters from Wuquan to Shanglou were the main battlefield of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, so the water depth is not a problem.

If a port is built here, ships that are too large will not be able to pass through, but ships of several thousand tons can still pass through.

To the east, you can reach Dongdan and Chao County; to the west, you can reach Bohai Sea; to the southwest, you can reach Yantai and Weihai; to the southeast, you can reach Hanguo Riben.

In this way, transportation to this remote area was opened up.

Wuquan, a lonely expanse of farmland dangling in the sea, covers over 20 square kilometers. The terrain is flat, with few high mountains or hills, making it ideal for a development zone.

Later generations built a thermal power station there.

"If the development zone is chosen there, our railway can be built to Wuquan. I will be responsible for investing in and building the railway."

The distance from Jiangwei to Wuquan is about thirty miles, which is not as far as the section from Hongya to Jiangwei.

"I'll share your opinion with my superiors. Your analysis makes a lot of sense."

"Another thing is, if a development zone is built there, I will be the first to move in and develop it. I have no interest in developing anywhere else."

Wan Feng has thus expressed his attitude.

Although he is just a businessman, he is influential in Hongya even though he is low-key.
