Peninsula Steel Love

Chapter 30
"Originally, Mr. Xu of the group company is going to talk to you this time. Unfortunately, Mr. Xu is going to BJ to attend an important meeting of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. I'm afraid it will be too late, so I specially entrusted Secretary Xu to talk to you. .” Director Sun said seriously to Zhou Jing.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Jing also sat up straight and listened carefully. This has entered a serious conversation procedure.

"Your master Xie Dongqing is in charge of a project that just started a year ago in South Korea. You know about it."

"Well, I know some, but I don't know the specific project. I was busy with the stainless steel project at that time."

"Well, I will tell you the general background of the project now."

It turns out that there are still many reasons and stories behind this project. The source comes from the Korea Plate Distribution Center Project, Sangang’s first overseas investment project that was completed and put into operation last year.

This project is a tripartite cooperation between Sangang Group, GM Korea, and a local Korean company. It is said that the famous Samsung Group is behind the local company.

The specific operation is that after Sansteel's auto sheet coils are exported to South Korea, they will be uncoiled, leveled and cut to size through this distribution center, and then sent to the OEM of GM Korea. At the same time, a certain degree of preparation will be made for GM Korea. library.

The advantage South Korea can get is that the distribution center has limited production capacity and will subcontract part of the business to surrounding local companies with small cold-rolling equipment to save these local companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy.

There are quite a few of these small local enterprises, but after the economic crisis in 08, they have been facing the plight of sharply reduced production and underemployment.

For this reason, not a few closed down, a large number of workers lost their jobs, and the local government was also a headache.

This incident was not only caused by the economic crisis, but also related to the famous steel company on the opposite island.

South Korea's automobile manufacturing industry is also relatively developed, and the annual automobile export is also a very important part of South Korea's export of bulk goods.However, the number one competitor of Korean cars abroad is the cars produced in the opposite island country.

Although South Korea's local iron and steel company is also a behemoth, its own auto sheet production capacity is far from enough to supply the needs of Korean OEMs including Hyundai, Kia and GM.

So every year, South Korea needs to import a large part of auto sheets from RB's Shin Dongyang Steel.

Speaking of New Dongyang Steel, it is very good among Asian steel companies. It was the undisputed leader of Asian steel companies more than ten years ago.

At that time, our domestic steel enterprises had not yet risen, and we had no right to speak in the negotiations on the purchase price of overseas iron ore. Even if the China Iron and Steel Federation was established in a group, it could not face those overseas iron ore companies alone.

So at that time, the steel enterprises in China, Japan and South Korea formed a group to negotiate the price of iron ore. New Dongyang Iron and Steel took the lead to negotiate with those white-skinned vampires. The status of New Dongyang Iron and Steel can be seen.

With the rapid development of domestic steel enterprises in the past ten years, China Iron and Steel Federation now has the qualification to negotiate prices alone. In the past few years, Pudong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. has also actively joined in to negotiate the price of iron ore.

In addition, Sangang’s automobile sheet project is also related to Xindongyang Iron and Steel. The earliest project was the Sanyang Automobile Sheet Company jointly established by Sangang Group and Xindongyang. It can be said that we have learned a lot from RB people, which cannot be denied.

However, the quality of Sangang’s automobile panels in the early days could not be compared with that produced by Xindongyang. According to the sales staff, the technicians of the customer’s joint venture car factory put the two automobile panels of Sangang and Xindongyang together. Recognizing the products of his own company, the difference in quality made him feel embarrassed at the scene.

So at the beginning, Sangang's automobile panels could only be used as the inner lining panels on the vehicles of various car factories, and the outer panels were still products of Xindongyang.

However, with the unremitting efforts of Sangang's technicians and workers, through the revision of the production process and the adjustment of manufacturing equipment, Sangang's auto sheet has already caught up with the former Asian leader. The best proof is that it can be recognized by GM Korea.

In recent years, in the international automobile sales market, Korean cars have had a great impact on RB cars. Coupled with the tense relationship between the two countries, Xindongyang has gradually reduced the export of automobile sheets to the Korean market, which has a great impact on South Korea. The automobile industry has had a great impact.

Forced to do so, GM Korea first set its sights on China, so the success of this cooperation project is a great benefit to the three parties, and it is a win-win situation.

Then again, going back to the current project, it is precisely because of the success of the auto sheet distribution center project that it has stimulated another Korean local company giant Pu Railway, and they set their sights on another industry that may face the same dilemma as the auto manufacturing industry. , Korea's shipbuilding industry.

Before the rise of China's shipbuilding industry, South Korea's shipbuilding industry has always occupied the number one throne in the world until it was surpassed by China.

However, in recent years, the major shipyards in our country have been overwhelmed by the increasing military orders, so that many orders for civilian ships have to flow to South Korea due to the construction schedule.

However, for the South Korean shipbuilding industry, the increase in orders brought another big trouble is the shortage of raw materials, so the sharp-eyed Pu Tie took the initiative to approach Sangang for cooperation, and the goal was to use medium and heavy plates for ships.

However, Pudong Railway requires that the two parties must cooperate to establish a production base in South Korea. Otherwise, it will not be able to explain to South Korea if it only imports steel plates. South Korea is an export-oriented country and is particularly sensitive to imported bulk commodities, so the reason is justifiable.

Therefore, under the premise that both parties attached great importance to it, the project was quickly approved for implementation, and the speed of advancement was very fast.

Originally, the former deputy chief engineer of the company was in charge of this project at Sangang. This old expert who was rehired after retirement still wanted to make use of his spare heat.

Zhou Jing’s master, Xie Dongqing, served as a deputy in charge of process equipment, and Zhou Jing’s elder brother, Cao Xuefeng, another apprentice of Xie Dongqing, took the other deputy, in charge of factory construction and production process design.

In this way, a situation of two old with one new was formed, and the early operation was relatively smooth.

But the weather was unpredictable, and I don’t know whether it was because of acclimatization or work fatigue. Some time ago, the old expert had a cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed back to China for treatment. He is still in the ICU.

In desperation, the group company had no choice but to let Xie Dongqing take over as the chief commander of the project, so that there was a gap in the equipment work.

After many discussions and careful research, the company leaders decided to boldly employ young cadres, and directly named Zhou Jing to replace Xie Dongqing's former deputy commander.

This is the real reason why Zhou Jing was recalled from the stainless steel project team.

"But why did you let me go? It stands to reason that it would be inappropriate for me to go there." Zhou Jing couldn't help but wondered after listening to the entire project background introduction.

(Thank you book friends for your rewards, and thank you for your collections, recommendations, and monthly tickets. Uncle doesn’t know if the current performance of this book is considered good, but so many people are willing to read it, uncle is still very happy .There is another cold wave across the country in the past two days, everyone remember to wear more clothes, don’t catch a cold and get sick, and then don’t forget to press the button for three consecutive times, o(∩_∩)o)
