On the first day of Tan Qiping's arrival in Donghua, he was also tired of carriages. After dinner, Chen Huai, Xiong Wenbin, Kan Xuetao and others said goodbye and left.
Zhou Ming was very interested:
Xiong Wenbin's role as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and director of the municipal party committee office was almost settled.
My father-in-law was promoted, and the first promotion was the key position closest to the core of Donghua's power at the county and department level. Zhou Ming, who had been grinding his butt on the bench of the agency for several years, had no reason not to be excited.
Another thing, Tan Qiping also said during the meal that he would promote and appoint young cadres to give them more opportunities for development. Zhou Ming thought that Tan Qiping was talking about it for him, so he called him extra excitement.
After leaving Beige Community, it was less than nine o'clock, and after Kan Xuetao and the others left, Zhou Ming grabbed Chen Huai and said, "It's still early, if it weren't for Haipeng and Zhao Dong and the others to come out for a drink?"
Xiong Daini is also newlywed. Her child's temper has not completely removed. She also wants to see how wonderful the men's nightlife is.
Chen Huai was not inconvenient to sweep Zhou Ming's Xing, so he called Yang Haipeng and asked where he was.
It was also a coincidence that Yang Haipeng was working as an organiser today and asked Zhao Dong to have dinner with several building materials merchants who were interested in steel distribution. After receiving a call from Chen Huai, he asked them to come over and meet.
Chen Huai had no intention of socializing. Seeing Zhou Ming's eagerness to show off, he didn't want to reveal his relationship with Tan Qiping in front of irrelevant people, so he made an appointment to chat at a newly opened cafe on Xinjian Road.
In 1993, the leisure occasions in Donghua city were mainly teahouses, but from the afternoon, the teahouses were full of gambling people, which was very noisy. With Xiong Daini on the spot, it was inconvenient to go to Yingying and Yanyan’s nightclubs to drink.
A newly opened cafe on Xinjian Road is quite deserted, and Chen Huai Po also has places where you like deserted. In short, drinking in a cafe will not look very strange.
After making an appointment, Chen Huai drove to the cafe called Yudian. Yang Haipeng and Zhao Dong had arrived first, and the place where they had dinner was close to each other. They also knew that Chen Huai would go to meet the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee today, and they were eager to hear Chen Huai talk about the situation of meeting with the secretary of the municipal party committee.
"Old Xiong's mission is settled, Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office," Chen Huai looked at Zhou Ming's reserved and uncomfortable look, so he took the initiative to help him speak out, and said jokingly, "In the future, we will all rely on Lao Xiong's breath to make a living..."
"Hi," Yang Haipeng, Zhao Dong and others were close to Xiong Wenbin, and they were happy for him from the bottom of their hearts. Yang Haipeng patted Zhou Ming's shoulder and said with a smile, "Old Xiong is good, you have become more developed, you are not allowed to recognize us old brothers..."
"Why are you scolding me like this? But to be honest, this is thanks to Chen Huai," Zhou Ming also knew that Chen Huai recommended his father-in-law in front of Tan Qiping. His father-in-law could not erase Chen Huai's credit for being given such a critical position. He asked Chen Huai again, "By the way, what is your relationship with Secretary Tan? He looks familiar and unfamiliar?"
"When Vice Mayor Chen was here, he had a good relationship with Secretary Tan. I also used this relationship to get the care of Secretary Tan." Chen Huai gently exposed the relationship between him and Tan Qiping. In front of Zhao Dong and Yang Haipeng, he was unwilling to carry out Song Hua's grandson's sign at this time.
Chen Huai's explanation was quite in line with Zhou Ming's guess. He even felt lucky for Chen Huai and said, "You are so lucky. Deputy Mayor Chen died suddenly due to illness and rushed Secretary Tan to Donghua to take office. Otherwise, it would be a bad feeling like I have been sitting on the bench for several years like me.
Thinking that he finally got to the end of his life on the bench, Zhou Ming was also particularly excited. The waiter brought the menu and asked him directly what good wine was there, and then excitedly ran to the front desk wine cabinet to choose wine. Xiong Daini rarely went to cafes in the past, and the newlywed woman at the age of 25 looked very curious.
Chen Huai also followed Zhou Ming and asked Zhao Dong about his meal with the dealer just now.
"They are all dealers in the Xiameikou Steel Market. They used to mainly buy goods from Wanhu Company, and they exploited a layer in the middle, and the profit was a little low. At this time, they were moved to see that the steel from our steel mills had not been suppressed by Wanhu Company in the market," Zhao Dong reported to Chen Huai about the situation during the meal. "But their business scale is relatively small, but they trust Haipeng very much and are familiar with each other. There are two people who went out of the city steel mills and wanted to get together..."
"How much money can I raise?" Chen Huai asked Yang Haipeng.
"Can you save about two million yuan? Can the steel mill give more discounts?" Yang Haipeng leaned over.
"With this small amount of purchase, are you embarrassed to ask me for discounts?" Chen Huai took out a cigarette and lit it, saying, "I plan to give different treatment standards to different dealers based on the scale of the capital and the turnover rate, and will also adapt to certain market support. You can raise two million yuan of funds, which is really a bit low. I have to pay at least five million yuan of funds. I can give you the best market treatment..."
"There are three millions left, where do you ask me to steal it? Another thing is that the price of rebar has been declining since the middle of the year. Even if there is no Wanhu Company, there are not many building materials merchants who dare to be steel at this time." Yang Haipeng said.
The price of rebar has continued to decline in the past six months. First, the State Council issued the "16 National Regulations" in late June, strictly prohibiting cracking down on the real estate bubbles in Hainan and other places, which has a great impact on the suppression of the building materials market in various provinces and cities; second, many small and medium-sized township steel companies in various places have been rushing to take rebar projects in recent years, and a considerable number of inferior steel strip steels and rebars have impacted the market, causing market prices to decline one after another.
However, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant has no technical transformation funds and cannot introduce new equipment to transform and produce high-value-added boards.
At present, Chen Huai wants to eliminate window steel products that are already behind the times. The most convenient way to achieve is to convert the production of rebar for construction, so steel mills will face the impact of continuous decline in market prices in the future.
Chen Huai smiled and said to Yang Haipeng:
"Don't use a trick that fools others in front of me. There are many companies producing rebar now. The production conditions are simple and the cost is low. Even if the quality of steel is poor, there is still profit to make money by suppressing the price. The current market is somewhat unfavorable for steel companies such as the Municipal Steel Factory and Meixi Steel Factory that have to take the regular development path. However, the domestic building materials market will only expand in the future and will not shrink. The overall environment will only get better and better. Although you are doing things to cut corners everywhere, rebar with good quality and good price will not have no way to survive. In addition, I can adjust the ex-factory price of steel every fifteen days. In this way, as long as you don't have to suppress goods, the risk of market fluctuations will be borne by the steel mill for you. In this way, you probably can't say that I didn't give you any benefits, right?"
Domestic steel prices have only gradually relaxed this year. Major steel companies have adjusted the steel ex-factory prices every two or three months or even longer.
The price fluctuations in the steel market are usually large and frequent.
For small and medium-sized dealers, steel companies only adjust their factory prices every two or three months or even longer, and they have to bear the risk of market fluctuations, which is a bit unbearable.
Chen Huai promised to shorten the factory price adjustment period every 15 days, which is very beneficial to small and medium-sized dealers. As long as the goods turnover rate is fast enough, they can obtain relatively stable profits and be less affected by the market. Only those dealers with strong capital will think of stocking up in large quantities and doing market speculation.
"The advantage is that there are benefits, but it is not easy to not want to raise another three million." Yang Haipeng said.
"Can you get a loan?" Chen Huai asked. With the financial situation of Meixi Steel Plant, even if Tan Qiping puts pressure on it, the bank will probably not lend much money to the steel plant. In fact, the dealer has money in his hands and the speed of steel running is faster, which is equivalent to the steel plant having sufficient production funds.
Of course, the entire process requires many links such as production and raw material procurement to cooperate.
Hearing Chen Huai say that he had a loan to solve the problem of three million yuan in funding, Yang Haipeng smiled bitterly and said, "Who can get out of the bank with only three million yuan in empty gloves?"
What Yang Haipeng said is also the truth.
At present, the support for private enterprises in China is very low at the policy level. Especially after the tightening of the banking base in the middle of the year, Yang Haipeng and others have no other means. Even if they have enough mortgages, it will be difficult to lend three million from banks this year.
Chen Huai thought for a while and said, "In this way, you register the company in Meixi Town and promise me that all the industrial and commercial taxes will be paid in Meixi Town. I think there is a way to solve the problem of department funds for you..."
"Really?" Yang Haipeng was also worried about the funding issue. When he heard that Chen Huai even agreed to help, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and looked at Chen Huai in confusion, "You won't make fun of me, are you?"
"Do you believe it or not?" Chen Huai said with a smile, "You come to the town to find me tomorrow. I want to discuss this with He Qingshe to see if the town credit union may put some money for you?"
"The town credit union has money, but it doesn't lend it to the steel mill? Zhao Dong said that the steel mill is short of money, too." Yang Haipeng asked.
"As long as you make sure that the loan is for our steel distribution, the money is loaned to you or to the steel mill, it is the same. It is different. First, the steel mill can reduce the debt pressure, second, you can take this opportunity to grow bigger, and third, Meixi Town can also have an additional tax source. Another point is that you can't mess it up for me..." Chen Huai said.
Yang Haipeng smacked the meaning of Chen Huai's words, patted his thighs and said, "Just relying on your words, I will sacrifice my life and will not mess up this matter..."
