Wan Feng didn't think much of the fertilizer plant. He knew that in just over a decade, many urea plants would be built in the country, and urea would no longer be a scarce commodity.
But special steel is different. Even if China's steel production becomes the world's first in the future, and even several steel companies in Beihe Province are among the top ten in the world's steel production, 80% of them are low-grade steel. There are only a few steel mills such as Baosteel and Ansteel that can produce special steel.
The fertilizer plant is just a temporary highlight, but in the long run, the goal is to build a special steel plant.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this steel plant, otherwise he would not have brought back a bunch of incomprehensible Russian materials.
"Uncle Liang! Let's be serious. What I value most is the steel mill, not the fertilizer plant. If this steel mill can be put into production and produce the special steel for building warships, it will become a national treasure. As someone within the system, you know the meaning of these four words. Not for the public, but for your own benefit, if you can make this steel mill a success, your career will have great room for development. You should think about this carefully."
Liang Guoyong certainly understood this principle.
At this time, Han Guangjia finally came back.
"Dad is here! Why are you back just now at noon?" Liang Hongying said coquettishly.
"Whose dad is here?"
"My dad is here."
"When did you come?"
"I'm here before nine. I'm in Room 8 on the second floor with Xiao Wan and Zhang Hai. I hurried up to say hello."
"Okay! I'll go over and take a look."
"You must not let Dad go. We have to have lunch anyway. I'll go see if the chef has prepared the food. If he is, I'll serve it right away."
When Han Guangjia came to the second floor and entered Room 8, Liang Guoyong was deep in thought.
"Dad, you're here?" Han Guangjia greeted Liang Guoyong.
Liang Guoyong hummed.
Han Guangjia greeted Zhang Hai again and sat opposite Wan Feng.
"What's there to do in Nan Da Wan? You've been wandering around all morning?"
"There's a lot going on. I've checked every factory, mainly regarding safety. These factories are all next to each other, and if one fire happens, it could burn the whole bunch. So I need to check. Don't assume that the security company is just responsible for guarding the gates."
That’s right, security companies mean safety protection, and they are also responsible for disasters.
As soon as Han Guangjia finished speaking, the door of Room 8 opened and the hotel waiter began to serve the dishes.
"Third brother! The driver is still downstairs. Go to the team headquarters and call my uncle and Li Quan as well."
Wan Feng felt that there would be some benefits in having a meal with Zhu Ping, Li Quan, Liang Guoyong and Zhang Hai.
Han Guangjia went out, and the driver came in a while later. A few minutes later, Li Quan and Zhu Ping also came to Room 8.
From Zhang Hai's relationship, they knew each other, shook hands and sat down.
"Eat first and put everything else aside." The food has been served for more than ten minutes and it will get cold if you don't eat it now.
Han Guangjia stood up and poured a glass of wine for Liang Guoyong first, and then poured for Zhang Haizhu, Ping Li Quan and himself in turn.
Wan Feng and the driver were automatically ignored.
Wan Feng doesn't drink white wine, but the driver can't drink it either.
The driver was very sensible. He finished his meal quickly and left. He knew very well that there were some things he should not listen to.
"Where are the steel materials?"
"In my factory."
"Go get it and let me see it."
Wan Feng shook his head without even thinking: "I can't get it. Even if I get it, you won't understand it."
"Can't get it? Can't understand it?"
"That box is almost as big as this room. How do you expect me to carry it? And it's all written in Russian. Do you understand Russian?"
Holy crap! It’s in Russian! This makes it even more difficult.
"How do you read Russian?"
"Find someone to translate it. It'll take a year to translate all that information. I'll give it to the county for free. How's that for the high standard?"
"Humph! Will you suffer a loss?"
"Actually, I really want our county to build this steel plant. I'll benefit from it, too. My business needs a lot of steel every year. Just give me a preferential price when the time comes."
Liang Guoyong rolled his eyes at Wan Feng and knew that this guy would not suffer any loss for nothing.
"How many tons of steel does your factory estimate it uses per year?"
"We use less now, maybe tens of thousands of tons, but we'll use more in the future. We estimate we'll use hundreds of thousands of tons a year."
When he has large tractors and light and heavy trucks in the future, it will be possible for him to produce hundreds of thousands of tons of steel a year.
"Your company uses hundreds of thousands of tons a year? What are you planning to do in the future?"
"It's still confidential right now. Let's put it this way, if all of Jiangwei's companies used it, a million tons a year would be no problem."
This is not bragging. Jiangwei now has more than a hundred factories of various sizes, and in the future there will be hundreds of them.
Even if half of it was used to the scale just now, it would be astonishing.
The only place his uncle's small hardware factory used steel was for the connecting rods of the rearview mirrors. The two rearview mirror rods on a motorcycle weighed more than one pound in total, and they used hundreds of tons of steel every year.
"Will there be so many?"
"Let's put it this way. If the county built a steel plant with an annual output of one million tons, and if all the companies in Jiangwei used it, Jiangwei itself would basically be enough. But this suggestion has no reference value, because some factories won't use it. It's because since it's special steel, it's incomparable to ordinary steel, including the price. Some manufacturers won't use it for cost reasons, so you can use it at a 50% discount as a reference."
If companies like Jiangwei can really consume so much steel in a year, then this steel plant will really have a future.
"But Uncle Liang, I have to remind you that this steel mill's target isn't to overthrow private enterprises like Jiangwei, but the military. Bohai is a place where warships are built, and it always will be. If the steel mill can produce special steel, I'll take care of the military's affairs."
"Are you related to the military?"
Wan Feng just nodded and said nothing more.
Just now when it was just Zhang Hai and Liang Guoyong in the room, he could say that he had dealt in steel for the military, but now that there were two more people in the room, he couldn't say anything nonsense.
Although this matter is not a secret, it is not something that can be told to everyone.
Liang Guoyong took a deep breath and said, "This matter must be carefully evaluated. If it can really be adopted by the national military industry, then we will have no worries about food and clothing for decades."
"Uncle Liang! These are the obvious benefits, and there are also some hidden bonuses. If this factory is completed and put into production, it will at least provide employment for thousands of people and drive a number of small and medium-sized enterprises. The indirect economic value it will create is immeasurable."
"I know that!"
That’s how things are settled for now.
After dinner, Liang Guoyong went to Nanwan Factory to see the set of core chemical equipment and steel smelting materials that Wanfeng had kept in the warehouse.
After reading it, he hurried back to the county. He wanted to hold a meeting with the county leaders to discuss it.
