Chapter 222: Tampering with the steel tycoon’s cheese, the consequences are unpredictable

While BYD's F6 model attracted a lot of attention in the automotive industry, there was another big thing that also caused a big shock in the segmented fields.

More than two months have passed since the official commissioning ceremony was held in June this year.

Many material properties of Nanshan Special Steel have final test results.

As a result, many companies naturally began to take further actions.

"Mr. Lai, the special steel orders we received this month have dropped by 50% compared to the same period last year. If this situation continues to develop, our special steel will basically have no business in South China."

Mrs. Jin was in a very bad mood during this period.

Although the special steel business is not Baosteel's main business, this business has the highest profit margin.

It can be said that the money earned from selling 10,000 tons of special steel is equivalent to 50,000 to 60,000 tons of ordinary steel.

This is why he is very concerned about changes in special steel orders.

"Still going down?"

“Are all these orders going to Nanshan Special Steel?”

Lai Liang naturally has a good understanding of the special steel market in South China.

Last month, Baosteel's special steel orders had dropped significantly.

It's just that he didn't expect it to drop so sharply this month.

"Although some customers did not tell us directly, it is basically certain that Nanshan Special Steel has seized this part of the market."

"I even heard that the orders from agents of Daido Steel, Kobe Steel and Nippon Steel in Japan have also dropped a lot."

"These orders have basically been taken away by Nanshan Special Steel."

"What I'm most worried about now is that orders for next month will drop further."

Jin Tai's bonus is linked to sales performance.

Nanshan Special Steel seizes Baosteel's market, which means it seizes Jintai's bonus.

He naturally takes this matter very seriously.

"Have all the test results of our technical center on Nanshan's various special steels come out?"

"Have you discovered any fraud in Nanshan?"

As a sales manager with a technical background, Lai Liang is quite familiar with the various properties of special steel.

It is not easy to improve the performance of special steel.

According to the parameters previously provided by Nanshan Special Steel, whether it is bearing steel, gear steel, or mold steel, the performance of Nanshan Special Steel is very good.

Even better than imported materials.

Lai Liang had great doubts about this.

"Most of them have been released. So far, these test results are almost consistent with the parameters announced by the other party."

"Some minor deviations are basically within the allowable tolerance range."

"This matter is said to have caused a great shock within our technical center. I even heard that some state-owned enterprises that produce special parts have begun to order special steel from Nanshan."

"It's just that people may order through traders or other channels."

Special steel has many uses.

It can be said that it is used in all walks of life.

Especially in some special fields, there is a very high demand for the performance of special steel.

"We can't wait passively for this matter."

"Otherwise Nanshan Special Steel will have a huge impact on us!"

Lai Liang felt cruel and felt that it was time to consider dealing with Nanshan Special Steel.

Regardless of whether it is an acquisition, merger or reorganization, given the size of Baosteel and the current development situation of the domestic steel industry, it is in line with the general direction.

…

Panyu District is quite large.

It almost spans the entire Yangcheng.

Nanshan is located in the east, which is considered a relatively underdeveloped area.

Liu Tianwu's office is located north of the center.

Sitting in the office, Liu Tianwu, who had just finished a call, had a complicated expression on his face.

"Xiao Luo, please sort out the information about Nanshan Special Steel, especially their recent sales and main customers. I will need it later."

Although I am a little confused, I want to clarify the situation first.

On this point, Liu Tianwu's thinking is still very clear.

"Boss, please wait a moment. I have some ready-made information on my computer. I'll print it out right away!"

As Liu Tianwu's secretary, Luo Yi naturally knows what his boss cares about.

As Nanshan is a star enterprise in the district, it can be said that Luo Yi takes time to organize it every week and understand the development of Nanshan.

To a certain extent, Luo Yi is the general manager of Cao Yang, and he also needs to understand part of Nanshan's current situation.

"Nanshan Special Steel's production capacity utilization rate has reached 50% this month?"

"Climbing so fast?"

It didn't take long for Liu Tianwu to finish reading the report information compiled by Luo Yi.

Although he is not a technical person, he is not someone who knows nothing.

It often takes a long time for a steel plant to reach full production.

Especially in the context of the overall sluggish steel market, the capacity utilization rate of new plants is often very low.

"Yes, this is because Nanshan's own gearboxes and other parts have not been completely switched to Nanshan Special Steel's materials. If they wait for them to complete the switch, it is estimated that Nanshan Special Steel's capacity utilization rate can reach 80%, or even full production.

"

"I heard that the performance of their special steel is very good, and the price is much cheaper than imported steel. Many factories are now considering ordering their special steel."

When Luo Yi said this, Liu Tianwu couldn't help but said: "No wonder people from Baosteel want to merge the business of Nanshan Special Steel. It turns out that Nanshan Special Steel is too strong."

Obviously, the phone call just now must have something to do with Baosteel.

As a large domestic steel factory with an administrative level, Baosteel's leadership level is higher than Liu Tianwu's.

This is also the reason why Liu Tianwu will feel pressure.

"Leader, based on the current situation, Mr. Cao will probably not give up on Nanshan Special Steel. Let alone mergers or acquisitions, even technical cooperation is very difficult."

Luo Yi carefully put forward his own opinions from the side.

He is also very aware of the importance of Nanshan to the district.

Even to a certain extent, his future has something to do with the development of Nanshan.

"I know!"

"You can make an appointment with Mr. Cao's secretary later, and I'll go over and have a chat with him in person!"

When Liu Tianwu said this, Luo Yi couldn't help but show a worried expression on his face: "Leader..."

"I heard that many people in other places have done their job in attracting investment to Nanshan."

The meaning of Luo Yi's words is naturally obvious.

He was afraid that Liu Tianwu would not be able to withstand the pressure and do something detrimental to the development of the district.

But he can't say it so straightforwardly!
