, as long as we give them some benefits and promise that they will immigrate to us in the future, we can let them serve us."

Too many things have happened in the steel industry recently, which makes people find it difficult to accept for a while. Each thing comes too fast.

This is definitely a major change in the steel industry!

Originally it was just an activity in the commercial field, but when someone was taken away, some people started to panic.

"Old Zhao, do you think we will be in danger?" Luo Jinquan asked Zhao Mangui.

"What's the danger? We didn't leak secrets to foreigners." Zhao Mangui said: "Those two people were arrested because they were bribed to leak the content of our last meeting. They were too stupid to use their brains.

Think about it, all eyes are now on BHP Company. They are actually leaking secrets. If not arrest them, who can we arrest? We are not looking for BHP Company, we are looking for Vale Company. This company is very low-key. We are here.

Doing business is nothing to others."

"However, if we do this, we are trying to dismantle the China Iron and Steel Association. Will we be settled by the future?"

"How are we going to settle the score after the fall? We are not allowed to import iron ore? As long as we sign the agreement, we must implement it. Otherwise, won't we be dishonest in the international market? If we don't sign, we will be in trouble.

Dadui, let’s go!”

Luo Jinquan and Zhao Mangui walked into Vale's office in the capital and signed relevant agreements there.

These 50 million tons of iron ore are really nothing to Vale. After all, they export millions of tons every day. This long-term agreement is for a five-year period and exports 10 million tons per year.

, which is only a dozen days of production, but it is enough for 38 small and medium-sized steel mills in the country. There is still a lot of surplus. They are considering increasing production in the future and even reselling this batch of iron ore to make money.

.

Vale's office in the capital can handle this kind of small business. As for the fees, you can pay them in advance for the first year.

Seventy US dollars per ton, which is US$700 million. These 38 small and medium-sized steel mills have worked hard to get it together. Almost all their factories have been mortgaged. Otherwise, how could they have raised so much money?

.

Seeing that the money was given directly to Vale, Luo Jinquan felt empty in his heart for some reason.

After signing the agreement and completing the transfer procedures, Luo Jinquan's uneasiness became more and more intense.

After walking out of the office door, Luo Jinquan looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky outside and said, "Old Zhao, this time we are fighting against the odds. If something goes wrong, we will be completely ruined."

"How could something happen? No matter how much iron ore the Mingzhou Group has, it will be used up one day. At that time, they will have to beg us to sell the excess iron ore to them. What about the China Iron and Steel Association?

Can the price be lowered by negotiating the price? If the price is lowered, can we have a share? Huh, peers are enemies, and they don’t even understand this truth? "

Zhao Mangui was very confident. If there were only two of them, they might be the first to win. Now, they have united 38 small and medium-sized steel mills. How could Qin Tao attack them?

"I hope it's okay." Luo Jinquan was still very worried. When he spoke, the cold wind blew into his mouth, making him feel that his lungs were getting colder.

At this moment, the cell phone rang.

Luo Jinquan picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. A panicked voice came from inside: "Director Luo, it's bad! Several big haters came and said that our environmental protection was unqualified and asked us to suspend operations for rectification."

"What?" Luo Jinquan's face changed drastically: "Who is leading the team? Send the money quickly, don't we still have more than one million in our account? Give it all to them!"

"They won't accept it. If I force it, they will arrest me. Come back quickly."

"Okay, hold on, I'll go back right away!"

"What's wrong, Lao Luo?" Zhao Mangui was a little curious: "Do you want my help? Now we are in the same boat. We must pull together and help each other."

"I'll go back and take a look first."

Seeing Luo Jinquan leaving in a hurry, Zhao Mangui had a bad premonition for the first time. At this moment, his cell phone rang.

"Director Zhao, something happened!"

"What's up?"

"The Electric Power Bureau cut off our power."

"The power is off? How is this possible? Bureau Zhang of the Electric Power Bureau has a good relationship with us."

"Bureau Zhang has been transferred, and a new bureau king has arrived. He said it is winter and the power supply is tight, so he pulled the power switch for us."

newcomer?

Zhao Mangui was not in a hurry: "It doesn't matter, we must take care of it. I'll tell you when I get back. It won't take two days to provide electricity to us."

Ironmaking requires electricity. The blast furnace needs to be loaded with materials and a blower. If steelmaking is made after ironmaking, it consumes even more electricity. Generally, small and medium-sized steel plants use electric furnaces to make steel. The temperature required for steelmaking is full.

Burned by electricity.

Without electricity, their factory would have to shut down completely.

Therefore, it is not easy to open a factory. All aspects of the relationship need to be managed, otherwise, even a small and big blockage can cause trouble.

Zhao Mangui returned to the factory with this emotion, but when he returned, his face changed.

"Is the electric stove broken?"

"Yes, when the power went out, our electric furnace had just half-melted the steel inside. Then there was a sudden power outage. Now the furnace is completely scrap steel, and it's still solidified inside."

Zhao Mangui's face turned completely dark.

He came from a large steel plant, and of course he knew all the operating rules clearly. However, since he contracted Cao Steel, there has never been such a power outage problem. Over time, the content of the past training has become slow.

Slowly forgotten.

Steel plants must not have unexpected power outages, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses!

Historically, in February 2001, an unexpected power outage occurred in the HD Steel Plant with an annual output of 10 million tons. All blast furnaces in the plant were cut off from water, power, and gas, slag filling occurred, and the cooling equipment was burned down.

How serious was this power outage? Some of the molten iron fell to the ground, the ladles and ladles were damaged, and some steel rolling equipment was also damaged. The accident caused economic losses of tens of millions of yuan.

In addition to steel plants, there are also glass plants that cannot suffer power outages. Once the power goes out, the molten glass liquid cools and solidifies in various places, and the equipment is immediately scrapped. Repairs and replacements can easily take half a year.

Although Cao Steel is a small steelmaking factory, it is also a major local profit and tax owner. There has always been no problem with the power supply. He usually manages it well enough. But now, due to a sudden power outage, he has suffered heavy losses.

"Where's the blast furnace?"

"The blast furnace was fine. When there was a power outage, the blast furnace had just come out of the furnace. We took advantage of the heat and released the molten iron from the blast furnace."

Zhao Mangui breathed a sigh of relief. They could still produce. Even if they only made iron in the blast furnace, they could slow down. When the imported iron ore arrived, they could resume production. Then they could make a lot of money in the future, and it would not be too late to repair the steel-making furnace.

.

With this expectation, he came to the front of the blast furnace. When he looked in through the molten ladle, his expression changed: "Why hasn't the slag been cleaned out?"

"After the power outage, the water stopped and the slag could not be cleaned."
