Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 66: Night Drinking

(Ask for a red ticket, ask for a collection)

Tan Qiping came to Donghua on the first day to take office, and he was tired. After dinner, Shen Huai, Xiong Wenbin, Kan Xuetao and the others said their goodbyes and left.

Zhou Ming is very interested:

Xiong Wenbin’s appointment as Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office is almost settled.

Father-in-law was promoted, and Yisheng was the key position closest to Donghua’s power core at the county level, and Zhou Ming, who had been grinding his **** on the cold bench for several years, had no reason not to be excited.

Another Tan Qiping also said during the banquet that young cadres should be promoted and appointed, and more opportunities for young cadres to develop. Zhou Ming thought that Tan Qiping was telling him this, and made him extra excited.

It was less than nine o’clock after leaving the Beige community. After seeing Xiong Wenbin, Kan Xuetao and the others away, Zhou Ming grabbed Shen Huai and said, “It’s still early, why don’t we invite Haipeng and Zhao Dong out for a drink?”

Xiong Dini is also newly married, and the child’s temper has not completely taken off, and she also wants to see how wonderful the men’s nightlife is.

Shen Huai didn’t want to discourage Zhou Ming, so he called Yang Haipeng and asked him where he was.

It was also a coincidence that Yang Haipeng was the host today and asked Zhao Dong out to have dinner with a few building materials dealers who were interested in steel distribution. After receiving a call from Shen Huai, he asked them to rush over to meet.

Shen Huai didn’t want to socialize. Seeing Zhou Ming’s eagerness to show off, and not wanting to expose his relationship with Tan Qiping in front of irrelevant people, he made an appointment to chat at a newly opened cafe on Xinjian Road.

In 1993, teahouses were the main leisure places in Donghua City, but from the afternoon, the teahouses were full of people who gambled for fun, and it was very noisy; Those nightclubs drinking.

A newly opened cafe on Xinjian Road is quite deserted, and Shen Huai quite likes deserted places. In short, drinking in a cafe will not be too weird.

After making an appointment, Shen Huai drove to the cafe called Yu Dian. Yang Haipeng and Zhao Dong had already arrived first, and the place where they ate was nearby. They also knew that Shen Huai was going to meet the newly appointed secretary of the Municipal Party Committee today, and they were eager to hear Shen Huai talk about his meeting with the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

“Old Xiong’s assignment has been decided, the deputy secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee and the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office,” Shen Huai saw Zhou Ming’s reserved expression, he took the initiative to help him speak out, and said jokingly, “We will all rely on the old man in the future. The bear’s breath is asking for life…”

“Hey,” Yang Haipeng and Zhao Dong have a close relationship with Xiong Wenbin, and they are happy for him from the bottom of their hearts. Yang Haipeng patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Old Xiong got it, your kid has developed along with him, but you must not recognize us. These old brothers…”

“You scold me for saying this? But to be honest, this is thanks to Shen Huai,” Zhou Ming also knew about Shen Huai’s introduction of his father-in-law in front of Tan Qiping. How could his father-in-law get such a crucial position? Without going to Shen Huai’s credit, he asked Shen Huai again, “By the way, what is your relationship with Secretary Tan, who seem familiar and unfamiliar?”

“When Vice Mayor Chen was here, I had a good relationship with Secretary Tan, and it was because of this relationship that I was taken care of by Secretary Tan.” Shen Huai lightly exposed the relationship between him and Tan Qiping, and in Zhao In front of Dong and Yang Haipeng, at this time he was unwilling to carry Song Hua’s grandson’s sign.

Shen Huai’s explanation was in line with Zhou Ming’s guess, and he even felt lucky for Shen Huai, saying: “You are really lucky, Vice Mayor Chen died suddenly due to illness and rushed Secretary Tan to Donghua to take office. I’ve been sitting on a cold bench like this for a few years, and it’s not a good taste.

Thinking that his days of sitting on the cold bench had finally come to an end, Zhou Ming was also extremely excited. The waiter brought the menu, and he directly asked what good wine was there, and excitedly went to the wine cabinet at the front desk to choose wine. Dini Xiong seldom went to a cafe before, so the twenty-five-year-old newlywed looked curious.

Shen Huai also went with Zhou Ming and asked Zhao Dong about meeting with the dealer for dinner just now.

“They are all distributors in the Xiameikou steel market. In the past, they mainly got the goods from Wanhu Company, and they were exploited in the middle, and the profit was a little low. They saw the steel from our steel mill at this time, and it was also in the market. They were not suppressed by Wanhu Company, so I was moved.” Zhao Dong reported the situation during the meal to Shen Huai, “but their business scale is relatively small, but they trust Haipeng very much, and they are familiar with each other. Yes, there are two other people who just went out from the city steel factory, and they just wanted to form a family…”

“How much money can you get together?” Shen Huai asked Yang Haipeng.

“Probably save up to two million, can the steel mill give more discounts?” Yang Haipeng leaned over.

“With such a small amount of purchases, are you embarrassed to reach out to me for a discount?” Shen Huai lit a cigarette and said, “I plan to give different treatment standards to different dealers based on the scale of funds and the turnover rate of goods. I will also adapt to give some market support. You can collect two million funds, which is really low. At least five million funds, I can give you the most favorable market treatment…”

“It’s three million short, where did you tell me to steal it? Another, the price of rebar began to drop in the middle of the year. Even if there is no Wanhu Company, there are not many building materials manufacturers who dare to do steel at this time.” Yang Haipeng said.

The price of rebar has continued to decline in the past six months. First, the State Council issued the “State Sixteen” in late June, which strictly prohibits the crackdown on the property market bubbles in Hainan and other places, which has a great impact on the building materials market in various provinces and cities. Small and medium-sized township steel enterprises have been scrambling to take the lead in rebar projects in recent years, and a considerable number of inferior bars and rebars have hit the market, causing market prices to decline one after another.

However, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant has no funds for technical transformation, so it cannot introduce new equipment to produce high value-added plates.

At present, Shen Huai wants to eliminate the window steel products that have fallen behind the times, and the most convenient way to achieve it is to change the production of rebar for construction, so the steel mills will face the impact of the continuous decline in market prices.

Shen Huai laughed and said to Yang Haipeng:

“Don’t mess with others in front of me. There are many companies that produce rebar now. Their production conditions are simple and the cost is low. Even if the quality of the steel is poor, it is still profitable to reduce the price. In the current market, It is somewhat unfavorable for steel companies such as municipal steel mills and Meixi steel mills that want to take a formal development path. However, the domestic building materials market will only expand in the future, and will not shrink, and the overall environment will only get better and better. Cutting corners are being done everywhere, but the rebar with good quality and good price will not be out of the way. In addition, I can adjust the ex-factory price of steel in 15 days. In this way, as long as you don’t hold the goods in your hands, the market will fluctuate. The risk is borne by the steel mill for you. In this way, you probably can’t say that I didn’t give you any benefits, right?”

Domestic steel prices have only been gradually liberalized this year, and major steel companies have adjusted the ex-factory prices of steel every two or three months or even longer.

The volatility of steel market prices is usually large and frequent.

For small and medium-sized dealers, steel companies only adjust ex-factory prices every two or three months or even longer, and they have to bear the risk of market fluctuations, which is unbearable.

Shen Huai promised to shorten the ex-factory price adjustment period every 15 days, which is very beneficial to small and medium-sized dealers. As long as the turnover rate of goods is fast enough, they can obtain relatively stable profits and are less affected by the market. Only those well-funded dealers would think of hoarding a lot of goods and doing market speculation.

“The benefits are good, but you can’t think of making an extra three million, it’s really not easy.” Yang Haipeng said.

“Can I get a loan?” Shen Huai asked. Given the financial situation of Meixi Steel Plant, even if Tan Qiping exerted pressure, the bank would probably not lend much money to the steel plant. In fact, the dealers have money in their hands, and the speed of steel operation is accelerated, which is equivalent to sufficient funds for the production of steel mills.

Of course, the whole process requires the cooperation of many links such as production and raw material procurement.

Hearing Shen Huai saying that he had taken out a loan to solve the 3 million fund problem, Yang Haipeng smiled wryly and said, “Apart from Gao Tianhe and Wu Haifeng’s son, who can come out of the bank with 3 million empty gloves?”

What Yang Haipeng said is true.

At present, domestic support for private enterprises is very low at the policy level. Especially after the tightening of the banking system in the middle of the year, Yang Haipeng and the others have no other means. Even if they have enough mortgages, it is difficult to lend 3 million from the bank this year.

Shen Huai thought for a while and said, “In this way, you register the company in Meixi Town, and promise me that all industrial and commercial taxes and fees will be paid in Meixi Town. I see if there is a way to solve the problem of departmental funds for you…”

“Really?” Yang Haipeng was also worried about the funding issue. Hearing that Shen Huai agreed to help, he couldn’t help being a little overjoyed. He looked at Shen Huai suspiciously, “You won’t make fun of me, will you?”

“Believe it or not,” Shen Huai said with a smile, “Tomorrow you come to the town to find me, I have to discuss this matter with He Qingshe, and see if the town credit union might give you some money?”

“The credit union in the town has money, but doesn’t lend it to the steel mill? Zhao Dong said that the steel mill is also in short supply.” Yang Haipeng asked.

“As long as you make sure that the loan is for our steel distribution, the loan is to you, or the loan is to the steel mill, it is the same. The difference is that the steel mill can reduce the debt pressure, and the second is that you can borrow This opportunity is bigger, and thirdly, Meixi Town can also have an additional tax source. Another point is that you can’t screw me up…” Shen Huai said.

Yang Haipeng stammered the meaning of Shen Huai’s words, patted his thigh and said, “Just relying on your words, I will risk my life, and I won’t screw this up…”
