Chapter 364 The scene is ugly

By mid-May, the steelmaking line of the West Oumens Steel Plant was basically demolished, and the steelmaking equipment weighing 36,000 tons was packed and transferred to London for shipment.

Although British port workers went on strike in May, related inspection and customs declaration and other work were forced to be suspended, and a large number of equipment were forced to stay in London ports, the first batch of equipment completed inspection and other procedures before the strike was launched and sailed to the country.

At the same time, after finishing the equipment demolition work, David Allen, general manager of Birmingham Steel Plant of West Eummins Industrial Group, and others accompanied the Birmingham Economic and Trade Group to accept the invitation of Chen Huai and Tangzha District Investment and Merchants Bureau to visit Donghua for a visit and inspection.

In late May, the first batch of equipment shipped by the British shipping company arrived at Meixi Harbor Pier. This was also the first time that Meixi Harbor Pier tried to dock a 30,000-ton sea ship when the water level of Zhujiang River rose.

Whether it is the construction of Meigang new factory, the development of Meixi Port, and the economic development of Southeast China and Southeast driven by Meixi Port Industrial Park, this can be said to have entered a new stage.

Huaihai Province's investment promotion work is relatively lagging behind. From industrially developed areas, many investors are invited to enter the country to inspect the investment environment at the same time through economic and trade groups. There is still a rare precedent in Huaihai Province.

In addition to the extra attention given by Donghua City, Vice Governor Song Bingsheng also came to Donghua on May 28 to meet with members of the economic and trade delegation on behalf of the provincial party committee and government. At noon on the 28th, accompanied by officials from Donghua City, he rushed to Meixi Port Wharf to visit the unloading operation.

After the foundation pile foundation project of the new factory is completed, large structural parts must be installed first, so the first batch of steelmaking equipment that arrived in China were all thick and bulky structural parts.

Even after the split, some structural parts are still spanned as 20 to 30 meters, weighing more than tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons, which is a big test for the newly established Meixi Port Company.

When the management cannot keep up, the uninstallation site will inevitably appear a bit messy.

At the same time, these large structural parts cannot be packed, and there is no need to provide particularly fine protection when dismantling and shipping. If they are exposed to the external environment for several months, they will inevitably look rusty and look very unsightly.

The relatively ugly scene caused discussion among the officials who accompanied the visiting:

"Can this batch of broken copper and iron be shipped to China and be reassembled into a production line? Don't you cheated on the British?"

"No matter whether it can be done or not, the key is that this batch of equipment is cheaper. I heard that it is a little more expensive than scrap steel."

"It's cheap? Do you think you'll be done after buying the equipment? It's not enough to dismantle it, but it's not enough to install it? I heard that in the future, you'll have to hire British engineers. This is different from the country. A domestic engineer kills 1,000 yuan a month; hiring someone's engineers will cost tens of thousands of dollars a month. Buying equipment is not counted, but you have to import related technologies from the UK. The cost is millions of dollars. Even when you ship it back to China, you have to use a British shipping company. Meigang reported a data to the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission. It is said that the new factory is well built and the foreign exchange paid to the British is about 30 million US dollars. Which one is cheap? There's always only the wrong purchase in the world, and there's no reason to sell incorrectly. Do you think the British are fools, and you'll give you equipment for free?"

"Yes, I heard that these equipment are scrapped in the UK. But how about it, who will go to the place now, shouldn't you support the scene first? As long as the scene is good and the political achievements are available, who cares whether the factory can be built in the future, and whether it can be run after completion? Is it profitable to run?"

Song Wenhui looked back and saw that most of the officials who were unrestrained behind were from the Huaihai Provincial Economic and Trade System. They were talking with each other, as if they were in the transaction with Seyomims, which was hidden in their self-righteous dirty things.

Song Wenhui noticed that the fourth brother's face looked ugly, as if he was holding back his temper and proceeded with the established visit first.

The province asked Song Bingsheng to lead the team to Donghua this time, which can be said to be out of some kindness.

Donghua has indeed made great economic development during this period, which is directly related to the large-scale and rooted penetration of the Song Dynasty into the Donghua area; and the existing achievements of Meixi Port Industrial Park were directly promoted by Shen Huai.

Others in the province did not know the relationship between Chen Huai and Song Bingsheng, but Tian Jiageng and Zhao Qiuhua knew that asking Song Bingsheng to lead the team can also be said to be a show of kindness to the Song clan, and they did not care how much the Song clan's power was strengthened in this corner of Donghua.

However, Song Bingsheng was responsible for the provincial agricultural work before and could not manage the economic and trade system. However, this time, British investors had to negotiate cooperation. The officials of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission naturally had to accompany him.

Although officials of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission respect Song Bingsheng as the vice governor, they are better off guard than officials. They have no sense of awe of Song Bingsheng, so they discuss any topics relatively casually, and they are not afraid that if they accidentally offend Song Bingsheng, they will wear shoes.

Of course, if they knew about Song Bingsheng and Chen Huai and Meixigang Industrial Park, they would be somewhat restrained. Because they didn't know, the teasing tone between the words was a bit unscrupulous, and they didn't care about the feelings of local officials at all, and even were jealous of local officials such as Chen Huai.

For officials in the provincial economic and trade system, Chen Huai and other officials in Meixi Town are much younger than them, and they are already deputy directors and chief departments; and the local deputy directors and chief departments are obviously much more powerful than the department departments of provincial agencies, and they can get much more affordable benefits. How could they feel comfortable for officials in the agency who have been to the department level for more than 20 years before they have been to the department level?

Song Wenhui looked at Chen Huai again. Chen Huai looked at the vast river and sky outside the dock with his hands folded, as if he turned a deaf ear to these people's comments and did not say that he wanted to look at his father's expression.

Song Wenhui sighed in her heart. For officials who don’t know how to be aware of their profession, seeing such a large pile of rusty structural parts piled up on the docks, anyone who changes them will feel a little cold. They may also be pessimistic and disappointed with the prospects of Meigang New Factory from the bottom of their hearts. However, it is obviously a difficult and thankless thing to make officials who don’t know how to understand the operation of the industrial system.

Tan Qiping accompanied Song Bingsheng and others to visit the bulk shipping company of the British shipping company. Song Wenhui was one step behind and said to Chen Huai in a voice: "My aunt may have helped you this time..."

Chen Huai smiled and said, "After the new factory is completed, Meigang will prove himself, and it is not a year or two. In the future, this will also allow some officials who used to only sit in the office to know that some things are more complicated than what they see on the surface. Sister-in-law, can you think this be considered a good thing?"

Song Wenhui smiled, knowing that the matter had come to an end, it was impossible to renege, so she could only look forward.

Sun Yalin curled her lips, and Chen Huai originally disagreed with letting provincial officials come to visit the work site.

For those who know the details of the operation of the industrial system, even if they remove a color TV shell, they can see the beauty of it when facing a pair of parts. But for another group of people, they can only look at the bright and beautiful shell. If they see the scattered parts inside, they will be devilish.

Now, most of the steelmaking wire weighing nearly 20,000 tons and nearly 10,000 structural parts are piled on the open yard of the wharf. It would be a miracle that the scene would look good.

However, Song Wenhui didn't think too much at first, but instead thought about being enthusiastic and tried every means to ease the tense father-son relationship between Shen Huai and Song Bingsheng. She hoped that Song Bingsheng would see that Chen Huai had worked in Meixi Town for less than two years and had made such great achievements, which could improve his impression of Chen Huai. She advocated to arrange the visit to Meixi Town more deeply, but she did not expect that it would have a counterproductive effect.

These large structural parts are impossible to provide fine protection during disassembly and transportation for four or five months. What large iron blocks will not be exposed to an environment with such high humidity?

However, as long as the corrosion degree of these large structural parts is controllable, after they arrive at the construction site, they can be put into use.

This will save a lot of construction time for the construction of Meigang new factory.

A steel plant with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons usually takes more than two years to build. Although the final construction fund invested by the Meigang new factory may not be much less, the key construction cycle can be shortened by nearly half, and the savings will be worth half of the time. However, these are not clear to those who do not know how to do. What they can see is just a pile of rusty copper and rotten iron in front of them.

Song Bingsheng resisted his unhappiness. After visiting the dock, the visit ended quickly, but returned to Shangxi Garden to rest and have a meal.

When only a few people were left in the room, Tan Qiping, Song Wenhui, Liu Weili, Pan Shihua, Hu Shuwei, Su Kaiwen and other people, Song Bingsheng couldn't help but ask Tan Qiping: "Old Tan, what do you think of the Meigang New Factory Project?"

Tan Qiping just smiled and said, "It's nothing. Reform and opening up is just about feeling the stones across the river. Even if it fails, you can learn a lesson, even if you pay the tuition fee..."

What could he say? He opposed the construction of a new Meigang factory in Shenhuai at the beginning, but Shenhuai was determined to do so, without any intention of district and city opinions, and started a new job. He could not force the pressure, so he could only spread his hands and say some sarcastic words.

"The tuition fee of 600 million yuan is too expensive." Song Bingsheng sighed.

"It's too early to draw a conclusion now?" Song Wenhui couldn't help but defend Chen Huai.

"Tian and Zhao, who don't want to see the jokes of the Song family? I'll have a good idea when I asked me to come down to investigate this time?" Song Bingsheng listened to the officials below teasing and talking for a long time, but he couldn't show his face. He felt so angry for a long time. When he heard that his younger sister Song Wenhui was still favoring Chen Huai at this time, he couldn't help but complain, "It seems that it's better for Huaineng Group to be smaller. In our country, we can't afford so much tuition, and the Song family can't have such jokes to show to others..."

Song Wenhui was also frustrated and couldn't bear to take it back in person. She asked the fourth brother not to interfere in the internal affairs of Dongdian, and looked elsewhere with a little ugly expression.

"I'll say two points,"

Chen Huai looked up for a long time, and he could help but feel unhappy, but his father said those words too heavily and too much, and he directly denied Meixi Town's work achievements over the past period in front of Tan Qiping, Pan Shihua, Liu Weili and others. He could not ignore them.

If he didn't speak at this time, it is hard to say whether Pan Shihua and the others would use chicken feathers as arrows to suppress the development pace of Meixi Town. However, this incident will be a direct blow to Meixi's morale. Meigang New Factory will continue to borrow construction funds from provincial and municipal banking institutions in the future, which will be seriously affected.

Chen Huai pressed his hand on the table and said,

"First, the construction of the Meigang new factory is currently operated independently of Meigang, so it only needs to be responsible to investors, not to local governments. This is also a main purpose of the current State Council and the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to promote enterprise restructuring. We must build a modern enterprise system with clear property rights and clear rights and responsibilities. In the future, if the construction of the new factory fails, I will assume all responsibilities to the association investors. Second, on the day the new factory is completed, I will invite provincial and municipal leaders to guide the work..."

As soon as Chen Huai said this, Song Bingsheng's face turned pale.
