Volume 20 Looking at the World with Cold Eyes, Section 48 Fully Prepared
Lu Weimin did not give Radar a clear answer when he flew back to the capital. This issue can only be decided by Radar itself.
In Lu Weimin's view, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Radar to take action from Huada Steel at this time. Next, when steel companies enter the cold winter, the suffering will be uncomfortable, so choosing the best time to take action can be regarded as a wise move.
Just like the Lean Marrow Replenishing Liquid created by Huamin Group when it started out, in the face of fierce competition from the Sanzhu Group, it decisively stepped aside and sold the Lean Marrow Replenishing Liquid, including the brand, intellectual property rights, and production lines to the Sanzhu Group at once.
I just realized that the health care product industry at that time was a bit crazy. Everyone was online, advertisements were flying all over the place, and it was almost a cure-all for all diseases. This state of the environment was unsustainable, and it was the wisest to jump out.
choice, and the cash obtained also formed the foundation of the current Huamin Group.

The same is true for the current steel industry. When the financial crisis hit last year, it was a good time to adjust the industrial structure. Removing excess production capacity through market competition was the most normal market economy behavior. However, the country launched a new policy in order to continue to maintain high economic growth.
The result of the trillion-dollar stimulus policy is that excess production capacity will be further prosperous, but this prosperity is actually a false fire, but now people are fascinated by the blooming flowers in front of them, thinking that China's urbanization process will further accelerate.
, the real estate industry will continue to prosper, but I did not expect that this is just a return to the past, and China's economy will enter a new normal of medium-to-high-speed development.
From the perspective of the steel industry, Huada Steel is not the best in all aspects, whether it is scale, product structure, resource allocation, or management level, it is not first-class.
Its success is due to China's ultra-rapid economic development in the past ten years and its selection of a specific investment environment. It may not be a good thing to withdraw now and hand over Huada Steel to some large enterprises with more strength and management capabilities.
Of course, for Radar, the main assets of Tuoda Group are two, one is Huada Steel and the other is Tuoda Cement. The others are attached to these two companies, and the scale of Huada Steel is much larger than Tuoda
Once Tuoda Cement is ceded to Huada Steel, although it may be exchanged for a large amount of cash, for Radar, there is only Tuoda Cement left under its umbrella, and it will also face competition from the Great Depression in the cement industry in the next few years.
Radar definitely didn't feel good about it either.
Therefore, Lu Weimin's advice to Radar is that if you can think about what you want to do next, you might as well buy Huada Steel earlier, so that you can have more time to find more suitable opportunities.
Radar said that he would carefully consider Lu Weimin's suggestions, but he also said that once he made a decision, he hoped that Lu Weimin would give him some more specific suggestions. His trust and dependence on Lu Weimin was deeply rooted, especially in this strategic decision.
Because Lu Weimin will visit Africa next month, and the trip may only last a month. Radar also said that he will make a decision before Lu Weimin comes back from his visit to Africa. However, Lu Weimin feels that in fact, Radar has already made a decision now, and it will only take a while.
I just need to have a good discussion with Fuxing on the price.
From this perspective, Lu Weimin believes that Radar is not the best entrepreneur, but he is the best investor.
Zhao Jiahuai is relatively well-informed about information from various channels. Lu Weimin attaches great importance to this visit, which makes him very satisfied. Logically speaking, such a mission should not be for newcomers like Lu Weimin who have just joined the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
However, there were two factors that contributed to Lu Weimin’s trip.
First, Lu Weimin also has the title of deputy director of the Central Political Research Office. This means that the central government also needs to look at the various impacts of inter-party exchanges from a broader perspective. Second, some of Lu Weimin’s own views have been frequently published in some publications recently.
It was published on the forum, and some more in-depth opinions were said to have been recognized by high-level officials, so the central government finally decided that Lu Weimin would lead the trip and selected eight countries. Namibia was temporarily added.
In this way, all the countries in East Africa and South Africa were basically taken care of. However, such a large-scale visit still made Zhao Jiahuai a little worried. However, Lu Weimin's performance later proved that Zhao Jiahuai's worries were unnecessary. Lu Weimin started preparations a month in advance.
In particular, he went to Zhejiang, Guangdong and Changzhou for inspection and research, and frequently contacted with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Commerce/State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission as well as some large state-owned enterprises and local private enterprises. There were one symposium after another. It was obvious that Lu Weimin was well prepared this time, and Lu Weimin also
He also had a lot of contact with some private think tank organizations, invited some leaders of private think tanks and relevant experts and scholars to negotiate, and welcomed them to participate in this visit. This aspect still made Zhao Jiahuai somewhat admire Lu Weimin's good spirit.
Although these measures taken by Lu Weimin were reported in advance and approved by the central government, Lu Weimin's active and large-scale mobilization invitation still attracted the attention of many people. At least some diplomatic envoys from some countries have begun to communicate through various channels.
To understand the purpose of this visit, a large number of industrial and commercial entrepreneurs and some think tank experts and scholars were mixed, including some think tank experts and scholars with ties to the military, which cannot but be noticed.
This kind of thing cannot be kept secret. Before the visit, the list of all personnel must be finalized and submitted to the central government for approval. Of course, more people from the business community are involved. Now a rough estimate has exceeded 30 people, and there may be more
There is a possibility of an increase, because the personnel of some state-owned enterprises have not yet been finalized, which has greatly exceeded the initial expectations. It also involves some think tank scholars and experts, and there are nearly ten people, counting the visiting personnel and staff in the Ministry, and
There are some lower-level officials and staff from the Ministry of Commerce/Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education, and the entire visiting delegation exceeds 60 people, which is not a small scale.
Lu Weimin's preparation work was very serious and all aspects were considered thoroughly, which made Zhao Jiahuai feel more reassured. He was afraid that Lu Weimin would be careless about this visit, and as a result, he would not be familiar with the situation, and his work would not be carried out well after he went out.
Secondly, it would be bad if some problems arise. However, judging from Lu Weimin's early preparations, Zhao Jiahuai can rest assured. Lu Weimin is not a reckless and impulsive character. Even though he may have some opinions of his own,
Just like the attitude above, you have to try some things before you know how they are. After all, this is just a delegation with the theme of inter-party exchanges. Lu Weimin's level is not high and he does not represent the national level. More
It is a kind of communication and discussion.
There was a knock on the door. Zhao Jiahuai saw Lu Weimin holding a thick stack of information in his hand and a notebook on his arm. He smiled and nodded: "Come and sit down, Weimin, how are you preparing?"
"There are so many things to worry about. At first I thought I should be able to do it, but the more I prepared, the more problems appeared. In addition, the business community and some experts and scholars also had other considerations, so the communication level also involved more and more problems.
I have asked the General Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I have also asked the embassies in various countries to help coordinate the schedule, especially discussions with the local business community and relevant government functional departments, as well as some social groups and
The schedule of dialogue and exchanges between organizations and media organizations is so full that I am worried that one month is a bit tight. The official schedule has not yet been submitted, but it is almost there, so I plan to report it first and the preparations will be finalized.
"Lu Weimin's face was tired but also showed a hint of excitement,
"For the people, don't work too hard. The work on the diplomatic front cannot be accomplished overnight. Some of it requires persistent efforts." Zhao Jiahuai said with concern when he saw that Lu Weimin was also a little tired.
"Minister, I understand that this is a rare opportunity. I am just groping my way out and want to do some down-to-earth work. Africa is also a major event in our domestic diplomacy. Compared with those in Europe and the United States, this continent will be
We are an important destination for domestic economic exchanges in the future, and it will become more and more important. I feel that we are still lagging behind in some early work, and now we need to catch up. Anyway, I am still considered a newcomer, even if I make some mistakes.
, and there were ministers who helped me save the situation." Lu Weimin said with a smile.
"You, you, you are still thinking about this!" Zhao Jiahuai laughed and scolded: "There is no small matter on the diplomatic front. You have to take it easy and don't go too far."
Zhao Jiahuai didn't say much. Lu Weimin was not a fool. He naturally had a bottom line. In the early stage, the relevant leaders of the central government also talked to him and Lu Weimin about the bottom line. They also drew the line in some aspects and made their attitude clear. Of course, Lu Weimin knew how to carry out some tasks.
, I have said that exploring communication and groping is just an attempt. Business cannot be done without benevolence. This sentence should be very suitable for this. The reason why Lu Weimin mobilized and integrated all resources on such a large scale is to do the best.
Fully prepared workers come down to carry out some exchanges and cooperation to maximize the chances of successful exchanges. (To be continued...)
