Although Xiong Wenbin served as deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and director of the municipal party committee office, he did not rush to change houses. He lived with his wife in the tube building of the municipal government office, just across the street from Emperor International.

After receiving a call from Chen Huai, Xiong Wenbin learned that Zhao Dong and Xiao Mingxia had just obtained a marriage certificate. Chen Huai called a dinner today to celebrate this matter.

Although it was a bit strange to choose the place to eat at Emperor International, Xiong Wenbin didn't think much about it and rode a bicycle from home and rushed to Emperor International.

When he pushed the door and walked into the private room, Xiong Wenbin saw Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai were both there. He was a little surprised and asked, "Director Zhou and President Zhou are both there?"

"Meixi Town wants to tie up the two villages in the southeast of Hetang Town, and Jianjiang Port Wharf. District Mayor Zhou and President Zhou came to me to discuss this matter. When they arrived, they invited them to have a meal together..." Chen Huai stood up and invited Xiong Wenbin to take his seat.

Xiong Wenbin didn’t know the Jianggang Wharf project yet. Hearing Chen Huai said this, he was surprised. Before sitting down, he would nod and greet Sun Yalin: “Ms. Sun is here too.”

Sun Yalin smiled and said, "It's rare to see Chen Huai bleeding, why can I bear to go through it?"

"If it weren't for your forced force, how could I be willing to bleed here?" Chen Huai complained, asking Xiong Wenbin to understand that choosing this place to eat was Sun Yalin's idea. "A meal here will cost me more than a month's salary, and it may not be more comfortable than finding a restaurant when eating in Meixi Town."

"It's so aggrieved, it seems like you haven't been here before," Sun Yalin glanced at Chen Huai dissatisfiedly, "Xiao Mingxia and Zhao Dong have obtained a certificate, so Xiao Mingxia has to know more, so that she won't sell it to Zhao Dong one day and help him calculate the money."

Zhao Dong smiled and complained: "Don't burn the war to me. If you burn it again, my grape rack will be about to fall down..." Before he could finish his words, Xiao Mingxia pinched a punch under the table.

Xiong Wenbin laughed and explained to Zhao Dong: "Occasionally socializing is not allowed to do it..."

Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai took the seat just now, Chen Huai introduced the tall and beautiful woman on his right hand, named Sun Yalin. He just thought that she knew a woman from somewhere and did not pay special attention to it.

At this time, when Xiong Wenbin sat down and greeted her in a serious manner, she became more and more arrogant at this time. Zhou Yu realized that this woman's identity was not simple and looked at her.

Long brown hair, slightly curly straps, simple to tie it behind the shoulders, wearing a black and white striped shirt with a small flower collar, a tight skirt and stockings, a dress unique to professional women.

The dark brown eyes were like dark amber under the lights of the box. They looked like European and American people, but had the oriental face. They sat next to Shen Huai without saying a word, with a quiet and elegant temperament, but at this time the momentum was booming, radiant and strangely bright.

"What's going on in Jianggang Wharf? I haven't heard you mention it before?" Xiong Wenbin sat down, but couldn't help but be curious and asked about Jianggang Wharf.

As soon as he entered the private room, he heard Chen Huai mention Jianggang Wharf without any hesitation, and knew that these topics were not necessary to avoid Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai. He continued to ask, and wanted to know how deep the relationship between Chen Huai and the Zhou family was.

"Meixi Iron and Steel Plant will continue to expand its production capacity," said Chen Huai. "Once the production capacity of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant exceeds 500,000 tons, the pressure on transportation costs will be huge. Now Donghua only has a railway freight line, which will stop abruptly when it reaches the north of the city, and it is still 30 kilometers away from Meixi Iron and Steel Plant. It is unrealistic to build a freight branch line from the north of the city to the Meixi Factory. Jianggang Wharf is a project we must take, and it should be early rather than late..."

This is for Xiong Wenbin, and for Zhou Yu, Zhou Zhibai.

Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai came uninvited. When they arrived at Empress Ying, they saw Chen Huai temporarily invited Xiong Wenbin to have dinner. They thought Chen Huai was going to clear his relationship with the Zhou family in front of Xiong Wenbin. They were also angry at that time.

At this time, after Chen Huai explained the reason for the Shangjiang Port Wharf project, Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai were shocked and stared at Chen Huai in disbelief.

Xiong Wenbin was also shocked and asked: "Is the 500,000 tons of production capacity all electric furnace steel? Do you plan to achieve this goal within a few years."

"Well," said Chen Huai, "Meixi Iron and Steel Plant currently has only short-process electric furnace steel projects. I plan to achieve this goal within three years. To achieve this goal, Jianggang Wharf will need to build another power station."

Even if Chen Huai was boasting, Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai were shocked by Chen Huai's ambitions.

The current annual steel output of the city's steel mill is only between 500,000 and 600,000 tons; Shenhuai will develop Meixi Steel Plant to a scale comparable to that of the city's steel mill within three years, and this ambition is indeed shocking.

Of course, this news is more critical and more important to Pengyue.

Even if Meixi Iron and Steel Plant does not expand this year, the rebar production will exceed 100,000 tons. In addition to the pig iron that Meixi Iron and Steel Plant can provide, it is also necessary to purchase *10,000 tons of scrap steel from outside as furnace materials.

If Meixi Iron and Steel Plant simply develops electric furnace steel production capacity and does not apply to blast furnace ironmaking projects, its steel production capacity will exceed 500,000 tons within three years, and the demand for scrap steel will also reach about 500,000 tons.

You should know that Pengyue’s scrap steel trade volume last year was only about 120,000 tons.

As Chen Huai said, the electric furnace steel production capacity of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant exceeds 500,000 tons within three years. Even if Pengyue only takes over half of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant's business, it can ensure that the trade volume will double.

Zhou Zhibai saw Chen Huai's face from the hall, and his emotions were twisting there. At this time, he couldn't help but ask if Meixi Iron and Steel Plant had the ability to achieve this goal within three years.

"I'm afraid it will take 500 million or 600 million yuan to complete the entire project," Xiong Wenbin couldn't see through the reality of Chen Huai's words for a while, and just continued to speak in Chen Huai's tone for the time being, "Donghua hasn't had such a big project for a long time. How confident are you?" When he said this, Xiong Wenbin was also observing Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai's expression. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that he had just heard Chen Huai say this.

"If you don't make boards, you can't use such a big investment," said Chen Huai. "If you raise about 400 million yuan, you can do it..."

Xiong Wenbin thought about it and it was not impossible to control the investment amount below 400 million, but he wanted to know where Chen Huai was planning to raise 400 million yuan.

Meixi Iron and Steel Plant has a net asset of only 40 to 50 million yuan, and it still owes nearly 80 million yuan in bank loans. He really can't imagine where Meixi Iron and Steel Plant will raise 400 million yuan in three years?

Xiong Wenbin glanced at Sun Yalin, and there was no real thing on Sun Yalin's face. He thought that Yexin Bank could not support Chen Huai's radical expansion. Such a large amount of loans would be too risky unless Chen Huai had other channels to raise funds.

Xiong Wenbin was expecting Chen Huai to continue talking, but Chen Huai stood up at this time, took the bottle from Zhao Dong, and opened the bottle to pour wine for everyone.

Xiong Wenbin sighed softly in his heart. He didn't know why Chen Huai suddenly acted like a near and far position. Could it be that he became less patient after marginalizing Tan Qiping, or was he fearless?

Xiong Wenbin glanced at Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng, but when he saw Zhao Dong, Yang Haipeng was turning around and serving wine and drinks. He didn't seem to be very concerned about this topic, and he knew in his heart that he could not ask the truth from Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng.

Xiong Wenbin didn't want to lead Chen Huai through the nose. Seeing that Chen Huai had no intention of talking in depth, he didn't keep asking questions.

Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai both hoped that Chen Huai could further talk about his seemingly ambitious plan, but Chen Huai shut up and they could not force Chen Huai to continue.

Zhou Yu also suspected that Chen Huai suddenly revealed at the table that his plan to expand 500,000 tons was a bait thrown out, but the situation did not allow her to care.

When he heard the news that Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was going to build Jianggang Wharf, Zhou Yu was worried that Chen Huai, under the instructions of Tan Qiping, joined forces with Gu Tong and others to suppress the Zhou family, so he was rushing to meet Chen Huai with his younger brother Zhibai.

If Chen Huai’s expansion plan for 500,000 tons is true, it means that their previous guess is completely wrong.

At the dinner table, Zhou Yu had no way to communicate with his younger brother. She was not familiar with the steel industry, so she could not tell whether Chen Huai's words were true or not. She just looked at his younger brother and saw that his younger brother looked solemn, and seemed to be moved by Chen Huai's plan.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiong Wenbin is the first person in Donghua to make steel.

Xiong Wenbin judged that Meixi Steel Plant would reach the target of 500,000 tons of production capacity within three years and would invest an additional 500,000 or 600 million yuan. Zhou Yu believed that he did not say anything randomly.

Even if Chen Huai said that 400 million yuan investment could fulfill his plan, let’s believe it, where does the 400 million yuan expansion fund come from?

Zhou Yu was thinking about things in his mind. When she realized that the atmosphere in the private room had become cold, she suddenly realized that Chen Huai's words just now were intentional, and he clearly told them to know: Xiong Wenbin didn't know this earlier than them, and he wouldn't know more than them.

Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng were also mourning. With Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhibai present, Chen Huai suddenly threw out the expansion plan of 500,000 tons of electric furnace steel to Xiong Wenbin, which can also be said to be a statement.

The atmosphere in the private room became colder. Yang Haipeng was thinking about finding a topic to ease the atmosphere. At this time, the private room was pushed open from the outer door. He saw Zhou Ming walking in with a wine glass and carrying a bottle of red bottle and saying, "It's so big that Mr. Zhou and District Mayor Zhou were alarmed. Chen Huai, you don't tell me and Kai Wen. It's too unfavorable. If you don't call me, you can only come and punish you for three drinks on behalf of Kai Wen..."

Xiong Wenbin is a smart person. How could Zhou Ming break in like this? How could he not think about what the problem is today? His face suddenly turned dark and he turned around and stared at his son-in-law Zhou Ming.
