Volume 11 Wanmu Shuangtian is in full bloom, Section 129: The battle for electricity

Guo Yuebin raised his eyebrows slightly.

The steel project of Tuoda Group has been hyped up in the city these days. Some say the investment amount exceeds 500 million, some say it is 1 billion, and some say it will have 1 billion in one phase. The investment in three consecutive phases within five years is as high as 5 billion. This project has also been rumored to be amazing, and it has suddenly affected the Xinlushan Group 12 Spinning Factory project, which is being assembled and debugged on the shore.

You should know that once the two production lines of the first and second spinning mill of Xinlushan Group are commissioned and started production, it means that another 100,000 spinning spindles will be added. However, this does not violate the central spindle pressure policy. The central spindle pressure policy refers to the backward production capacity of state-owned enterprises, rather than enterprises like Xinlushan Group that have been restructured into a joint-stock company.

"With the people, are you so sure?" Guo Yuebin couldn't help asking more. Although he knew that this guy must be confident, this project was too important to Songzhou. Even if he didn't like to ask about it, he still wanted to know more about the situation.

"This project itself is what I have integrated and promoted Songzhou's advantages and strengths to my two friends. And I have spent a lot of thought on choosing a steel project. The more important energy is to persuade them to upgrade the steel rolling project to the steelmaking project. As long as they agree with me and propose the previous steelmaking project, it is a foregone conclusion to settle in Songzhou. Judging from the attitude they are now on, it is obvious that they have already made the steelmaking project, so I don't have much worry at all." Lu Weimin shrugged and handed the instant coffee he had made to the other party. "What I should worry about now is how should we promote this project if Tuoda agrees."

"Push it?" Guo Yuebin hesitated for a moment, "Is there any other problem? Secretary Shang and Mayor Tong and others strongly support each other. What's the problem?"

"Brother Bin, aren't you thinking of the previous steel project so simple? The city can support it? Projects with investments of more than 200 million need to be reported to the State Planning Commission, especially projects such as Shenhua that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The approval procedures are extremely complex, the efficiency is extremely low, and the success rate is also low, especially non-budget planned investments, and non-state-owned investments, which are more difficult to get approved. Even if they can be approved, it is estimated that such a large project will be delayed for two or three years. If it really delays for two or three years, the daylily will be cold."

Lu Weimin's tone was wandering and full of worry.

This is not an unreasonable worry. If you really have to approve it according to normal procedures, then Lu Weimin can be 100% sure that the Tuoda Steel Steel Steel Making Project will never be able to obtain the approval procedures of the State Planning Commission.

The only way is to take the path of flexibility, or play the edge, split a large project into several, and then complete the construction of a large project through uninterrupted continuous project investment.

The last time when Lu Weimin hinted, Shang Quanzhi understood and stopped mentioning it after he followed it. Tong Yunsong was also a master. He did not mention that the scale of this project exceeded the provincial approval specifications, and it seemed that he did not know the approval procedures here at all.

"Well, so the city is sure to play the edge ball?" Guo Yuebin also knew the following tricks. There were not many projects like steelmaking that were actually followed the procedures. One project could argue that the initial investment did not exceed the standard, but was gradually accumulated in the process of continuous expansion of reproduction.

"Maybe. Tuoda is also very clear about the tricks here. The Hebei Province is similar to that here, and it is even better. As long as the province and city support it, although there are risks inside, it is worth taking it. At worst, a few people will take the blame." Lu Weimin's tone was a little erratic.

Guo Yuebin didn't say anything else. He never said it. Thinking about it well, it was not an exaggeration to say such a big project to drive the entire Songzhou economy to take off, and the province would not be able to see it. Even if the central government believes that this project was built without approval, it would be just a matter of being beaten afterwards. The road has been completed, so naturally it cannot be handled to a certain extent. Guo Yuebin also recognized this.

"And Tuoda is not able to start this steel project in the early stage with a few hundred million yuan. A decent steel project from front to back, the entire industrial chain cannot be built without billions. Although my two friends are quite rich, it is not realistic to take out tens of billions. Moreover, when they are done, they have always been self-raised for starting funds, and subsequent funds are achieved through financing methods such as bank loans. Therefore, the support of financial institutions is very important. It also involves financial institutions from Changjiang Province to Songzhou City. The support of financial institutions depends on how strong the policy support for this project is at the provincial and municipal levels, so they can have a clear mind. If there is too much work here, the connection and communication operation are all craftsmanship."

Through communication with radar, He Keng and others, Lu Weimin also initially understood the radar and others' ideas, that is, once this is finalized, Tuoda will relocate the Tuoda Steel Plant in Hebei Province as quickly as possible. Tuoda Steel Plant is mainly two steelmaking electric furnaces and steel rolling equipment there.

Electric furnace steel is smelted using scrap steel. The process is short and the process requirements are relatively low. The disadvantage is that it has very high requirements for power supply.

Songzhou is an old industrial base. The distribution layout in the province has been prioritized since the 1980s, so it has quite an advantage in ensuring power supply. In addition, Songzhou's overall industry has been exhausted in recent years and the power consumption has dropped significantly, which has also caused the Songzhou Power Supply Bureau to complain.

In addition, Xinlushan Group's self-produced power plant has been very popular. Although the Songzhou Power Supply Bureau did not dare to clearly oppose Xinlushan Group's self-produced power plant, Zhang Wenyuan, the Power Supply Director, also specifically contacted Lu Weimin, and said very tactfully that Songzhou is currently in abundance of power supply and believes that Xinlushan Group does not need to invest huge amounts of money to build its own power plant. The self-produced power plant will also bring a lot of pressure to the local area on environmental protection issues. The implication is that Xinlushan Group hopes that Xinlushan Group will give up building its own power plant.

Lu Weimin did not hide it, and frankly told Zhang Wenyuan about the considerations of the municipal party committee and government. In particular, the operating pressure brought to Xinlushan Group by the four major factories in the city, hoping that Zhang Wenyuan could understand from the overall situation of Songzhou and not set up obstacles. Later, Zhang Wenyuan also expressed his understanding, which made Lu Weimin quite fond of the Songzhou Power Supply Director.

It is limited to understanding. Zhang Wenyuan is very vigilant about Songzhou's practice of abandoning the Songzhou Power Supply Bureau's self-produced power plant project. In particular, Lu Weimin's vigorous ambitions made Zhang Wenyuan even more vigilant. If Songzhou continues to launch large projects or carry out enterprise integration and reorganization in the future, all self-produced power plants will be used to reduce cost operation pressure, then will the Songzhou Power Supply Bureau be able to drink the northwest wind? Therefore, the Songzhou Power Supply Bureau also asked the upper level to strengthen restrictions and approvals for self-produced power plants in its report to Changjiang Provincial Power Supply Bureau, give full play to the allocation function of local power grids, and serve the local economic development.

At present, the power supply in Songzhou is quite abundant, especially in the overall industrial development situation in Songzhou, the power supply is relatively abundant. Even if the two electric furnaces of Tuoda Steel are relocated, there will be no impact. However, with the relocation of Tuoda Electric Furnaces and put into use and the construction of more critical blast furnaces, coupled with the follow-up of the attached steel rolling projects in the future, there may still be no gap in power supply, but in terms of cost, electricity consumption will become a huge constraint.

Of course, as far as the current steel prices are concerned, the power cost does not affect the profit of the project. However, as enterprises all desire higher profits, both Radar and He Keng both proposed that they need to consider their own power plants, which also gave Lu Weimin a headache. Xinlushan Group's self-provided power plant project has not been officially approved, so it will definitely not be approved. However, radar and He Keng's concerns are not without reason. The electricity consumption of steel projects is very large, and the cost is one thing. What is more important is power guarantee. Once Songzhou industry enters the fast lane of development, the electricity consumption will also rise rapidly. Now, maybe everyone thinks that the power supply is still surplus, and maybe there will be a power shortage in two or three years. At that time, the power shortage is undoubtedly fatal for Tuoda Steel, which has just entered the production efficiency period, so both Radar and He Keng proposed to consider building their own power plants.

It is impossible not to say that radar and He Keng's vision are still quite sharp. At present, domestic power supply is relatively abundant, but Lu Weimin has an impression that after entering the 21st century in his previous life, the phenomenon of domestic power shortage gradually began to reach its peak after 2002. In the past two years, power shortages in 2003 and 2004 seem to be slightly better in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there is no electricity shortage in spring, summer, winter and all the four seasons are in spring, summer, winter,

Hebei Province is located in the main production area of ​​coal, so the local power grid has strong power guarantee and has always been in short supply. However, the situation in Changjiang is different. The local power grid takes into account both water and thermal power. Because it relies heavily on hydropower, it is very susceptible to the dry period of water during the use of electricity in winter and spring. This is a factor that must be paid attention to for steel projects. For example, Changgang is a central enterprise and a key guarantee unit for electricity use in the provincial grid. However, Tuoda Steel itself is a dwarf in its origin. By then, it is difficult for you to ask for priority protection of electricity. Radar and He Keng are not willing to be held in the hands of others, so they also have strong wishes in this regard.

However, it is undoubtedly difficult for Tuoda Steel to also have its own power plant. Moreover, the investment of a thermal power unit of 100,000 kilowatt is at least 300,000 kilowatts is at least 300,000 kilowatts, and a 300,000 kilowatts unit is at least 1 billion. This is also a considerable burden for Tuoda. Therefore, how to balance the Xinlushan Group, Tuoda Steel's relationship with the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government is also a very good job of examining the syllabus.
