Rebirth of the Wild Age

At the annual Taurus meeting, everyone will meet for a few days. This year we will climb the Great Wall together and watch the "Bullfighting" competition held in Tsinghua by the way.

　　 The tbba league, jointly sponsored by Jianlibao and Xtep, officially started in early October. The national one, two, three, colleges and universities, and many high schools are included. County, municipal, provincial, and national competitions are coming step by step. The competition will probably last about half a year, with a total of 100,000. Students participated and more than 100 million people watched the event.

　　 Jianlibao will provide a sponsorship fee of 60 million yuan, and Xtep also sponsored 40 million yuan. Of course, the money also includes the products sponsored by each. For example, for competitions above the provincial level, Jianlibao will provide players, referees and organizers with red cans of Jianlibao for free, and Xtep will also provide free sneakers for contestants. City and county-level competitions do not provide them.

　　 A total of 100 million yuan in sponsorship amount, and only sponsored a non-governmental event, this is a joke in the eyes of business colleagues.

　　With so much money, it's better to sponsor large-scale formal competitions!

　　 But no one dared to laugh anymore. Less than a month after the start of the competition, the "bull-fighting" was set off in colleges and universities across the country. Even many students who don't pay attention to basketball are drawn to cheer for the school team. The popularity of Jianlibao and Xtep has risen wildly among students.

　　 In the past, when students bought sports shoes, the rich preferred Adidas and Nike, and domestic brands preferred Hongxing Erke, Jordan, Li Ning and Double Star's sports shoes. However, since the launch of the tbba league, Xtep's influence has suddenly surpassed Hongxing Erke and Jordan, and monthly sales have soared at a rate of 150%.

　　 The same is true of the red can of Jianlibao. High school students may buy less, but the shadow of the red can of Jianlibao can be seen at any time in university sports fields and gymnasiums.

　　 Yangfang Hutong No. 11, Lijia Restaurant.

　　 This is the last day of the party. Liu Yonghang tasted the palace dishes and suddenly said: "I am going to enter the aluminum and electricity industry."

　　 "Then you have to be careful," Guo Guangchang reminded, "Now that the country is swarming with electrolytic aluminum projects, the competition in the next few years will be very fierce, and there is likely to be an oversupply situation."

　　 Liu Yonghang smiled and said, "So I plan to make alumina."

　　Duan Yongping didn’t know much about this, and asked: “Alumina seems to be the raw material for electrolytic aluminum, right?”

Liu Yonghang nodded and said: "At the beginning of this year, I signed an agreement with Lu Shengxin Thermal Power Group to establish Xinfa Hope Aluminum Co., Ltd. as a joint venture. What I did was an electrolytic aluminum project. The embarrassing problem is that there are new electrolytic aluminum enterprises all over the country. Not only the market competition is extremely fierce, but the most important raw material alumina is insufficient. More than half of the domestic alumina needs to be imported. So I plan to do it in one step and directly make alumina , To supply electrolytic aluminum factories across the country."

　　 "Especially dangerous!" Cao Dewang suddenly said.

　　 Liu Yonghang said with emotion: "Yes, it's very dangerous. So today, while everyone is here, help me to add up the total. I need to pay attention to which aspects of the impact. I alone may have considered missing points."

　　Why is it clear that alumina is more promising, but the whole country is swarming with electrolytic aluminum projects? Are the bosses of those companies not insightful?

of course not.

　　 Because this field is monopolized by Chinalco, even if you want to import alumina, Chinalco and China Minmetals will directly take a dimensionality reduction blow.

　　 Liu Yonghang is going to move the cake of China Aluminum Group. It is conceivable that when he announces the project, he will be suppressed from all sides.

Li Su has a deep understanding of this, because when he makes a car, he is also touching the cake of others. He said: "You are more dangerous than making a car. Although cars are monopolized by state-owned enterprises, there are many automobile companies in the country. Competitive. The alumina production is monopolized by Chinalco, and even Minmetals, which has the right to import alumina, will also intervene. I have only one suggestion that all funds must be in place. It is unreliable to find a bank loan. I signed it. The loan contract can be broken for you at any time."

　　 It is more than just a funding problem. Historically, Liu Yonghang launched the alumina project and continuously sought out two design institutes in the northeast and southwest for project design. As a result, with the intervention of Chinalco, all these two design institutes went on strike.

　　 "Be low-key, as low-key as possible. Don't ask reporters, don't make publicity, let Chinalco know as soon as possible." Cao Dewang said.

　　 Song Weiyang asked: "Is there enough funds? How much do I need?"

Liu Yonghang said: “Follow-up funding is temporarily unclear, but the start-up capital must be at least 2 billion yuan. For the electrolytic aluminum project in Shandong province, I invested 750 million yuan this year. The funds in my hand are very tight and I can only seek foreign investment and Local cooperation."

As the head of the emerging Fosun system in China’s financial sector, Guo Guangchang is short of money and not short of money. He is well aware of the bright prospects of alumina, and immediately said: “I can run it. It’s easy to raise two to three billion in six months. Yes, but if you want to finance more, there is a risk. If Mr. Liu is willing to cooperate, I promise to invest 200 million yuan during the Spring Festival at the latest."

　　 "Aluminum is also used to make a car," Li Su said with a smile, "I don't have much spare money in my hand, but I can use it out of 30 million."

　　 Song Weiyang said: "I personally invested 300 million yuan."

　　'S words surprised everyone, including Song Qizhi, who couldn't understand how Song Weiyang could put out 300 million.

　　 It is very difficult for companies to come up with 300 million in cash, and they need various kinds of turnover to raise funds. What Song Weiyang just said was "personal investment."

　　 "Yangyang, don't embezzle your funds." Song Qizhi was very worried, so he called Song Weiyang by his nickname.

　　 Guo Guangchang asked: "Personal investment? Are you wrong."

　　 Song Weiyang is not afraid to reveal his riches in front of these people. He smiled and said, “I went to Korea to watch the World Cup in the summer and bought a $1 million football lottery ticket for me.”

　　 "How many did you hit?" Liu Yonghao asked curiously.

　　 Song Weiyang said: "Nearly 1 billion yuan, after tax."

　　 "..." Everyone was speechless.

Liu Yonghang smiled helplessly: "The 2 billion project start-up funds almost turned my hair gray. You actually won 1 billion when you bought the lottery ticket. If someone else said this, I definitely think it is fake, it must be from Where is the dirty money, but Boss Song doesn't have to lie."

　　 Zhang Xuanlong lives in Hong Kong all the year round, and occasionally bets on horses. He calculated and asked: "One billion yuan for one million US dollars, the odds must be more than 100 times. What did you buy at the time?"

　　 Song Weiyang said: "Special bets, buy South Korea's fourth place before the game."

　　 There are a few people who pay a little attention to football. They looked at each other and laughed because Song Weiyang’s bet was so interesting.

　　 Zhang Xuanlong shook his head repeatedly: "No wonder, no wonder. Buying the fourth place in South Korea alone, you have a good vision and good luck."

　　Duan Yongping was more cautious, and asked carefully: "It seems that making electrolytic aluminum and alumina consumes a lot of electricity. Have you found a power supply unit? Will it be cut off by Chinalco?"

　　 "Yes, power plants are a big problem." Guo Guangchang said immediately. He now owns two steel companies and knows the extent of China's power shortage.

　　 China's economy developed rapidly in 2002, and "Made in China" became a popular vocabulary, but the crisis behind it was a nationwide lack of electricity. Suddenly, too many factories have popped up, including countless large consumers of electricity, and China's original power supply system is already on the verge of collapse.

　　 This is only one of the reasons, and the other is the battle between coal companies and power companies!

　　 For a long time, coal-fired power has been implementing planned allocation. At the beginning of each year, the state organizes a meeting of coal, railway and electric power departments to sign a one-year contract for the purchase and sale of electric coal, and the price is different from the market, which is called the "guided price of electric coal."

　　With the rapid development of the national economy, coal prices have been soaring in recent years. Coal companies are feeling more and more unhappy. I have worked so hard to dig coal. Why should I sell it to the power company at a low price? As a result, a large amount of planned coal was quietly sold to private enterprises in violation of regulations, which caused a shortage of electricity coal to a certain extent.

　　 And the power department is so high, while suing coal companies for violations of regulations and laws, while still refusing to increase the purchase price of electricity coal. Even the power sector would rather reduce the amount of electricity generated than spend high prices on coal purchases, or even cut off electricity during peak periods.

　　 So, on the one hand, industrial power consumption has greatly increased, on the other hand, the overall power generation is decreasing. The "electricity shortage" appeared in 2002 when the economy was soaring.

　　 There was a power shortage in the past, but it hasn't reached this level this year.

　　 Big cities don't dare to open the gates randomly, but in the vast small and medium-sized cities and villages, towns and rural areas, there will be a wave of power cuts every three times. The most evil places will give you power cuts during the Spring Festival.

　　 The central government attaches great importance to this, so in early 2003, it announced the abolition of the "electric coal guide price", and everything was negotiated and resolved by market-oriented means. However, the power sector is too strong. The provincial power companies resisted in series and directly refused to buy coal at the order fair. The order fair led by the central government was unable to determine the price of electric coal this year.

　　 So in 2003, coal prices skyrocketed, and electricity prices skyrocketed. Even big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai were forced to cut off electricity, and even most of the landscape lights on the Sheng Bund were turned off. Following this, the prices of steel, cement, copper and aluminum have soared, and they have reached the point of "three prices in January."

Liu Yonghang explained: “I must start the power plant myself, otherwise I’ll get stuck. I used to make feed, and the large amount of steam generated by power generation can be used to produce the lysine needed for feed. The remaining steam is returned. The waste water from the production of lysine can be concentrated. One is environmental protection, the other is to reduce the discharge cost, and the third is to make the concentrated waste water into trace element additives to improve the quality of feed. I have specifically consulted experts, this set of solutions It is feasible and can form a set of industrial chain of'aluminum-electricity combined electric-heat co-production of lysine feed'."

　　"This is very interesting~www.readwn.com~Cao Dewang said, "I will send someone to investigate. If it is like you said, I am willing to invest 20 million yuan, just as a money field for Boss Liu. "

　　 Liu Yonghang’s aluminum power project is a special case. Because he dared not find a bank loan, he had to solve the 2 billion start-up capital by himself.

　　 After a meal, the members of the Taurus Society solved 600 million for him. Nine people, including Song Weiyang, were willing to throw money in to help. Of course, this is also the prospect of aluminum power projects. An industry monopolized by Chinalco, an industry that requires more than 50% of imports, as long as it is not disturbed by various off-market recruitment, it will definitely be lying down and making money every day.

　　 Song Weiyang is happy to see this kind of generous donation to each other, not just as simple as money, each member has a network behind it. The deeper the degree of investment entanglement, the network of relationships behind everyone can be woven into a larger network.

　　 If anyone who is not long-eyed and unruly, runs out and stretches out his hand indiscriminately, his "parent" will drag his hand back to the palm of his hand when he reaches halfway through it.

　　 Money becomes a number when it is more than a certain amount. Song Weiyang is not thinking about how to make money, but something deeper.
