By mid-May, the steelmaking line of West Eummins Steel Plant was basically demolished, and the steelmaking equipment weighing 36,000 tons was packed and transferred to London for shipment.

Although British port workers went on strike in May, related inspection and customs declaration and other work were forced to be suspended, and a large number of equipment were forced to stay in London ports, the first batch of equipment completed inspection and other procedures before the strike was launched and sailed to the domestic market.

At the same time, after the equipment demolition work was completed, David Allen, general manager of Birmingham Steel Plant of West Eumins Industrial Group, and others accompanied the Birmingham Economic and Trade Group to accept the invitation of Chen Huai and Tangzha District Investment and Merchants Bureau to visit Donghua for inspection.

In late May, the first batch of equipment shipped by the British shipping company arrived at Meixi Port Pier. This is also the first time that Meixi Port Pier has tried to dock a 30,000-ton sea ship when the water level of Zhujiang River rises.

Whether it is the construction of Mei Steel Plant, the development of Meixi Port, and the economic development of Southeast China and Southeast driven by Meixi Port Industrial Park, this can be said to be the stage of entry.

Huaihai Province's investment promotion work is relatively lagging behind. From industrially developed regions, multiple investors are invited to enter the country to inspect the investment environment at the same time through economic and trade groups. There is still a rare precedent in Huaihai Province.

In addition to the extra attention given by Donghua City, Vice Governor Song Bingsheng also came to Donghua on May 28 to meet with members of the economic and trade delegation on behalf of the provincial party committee and government. At noon on the 28th, accompanied by officials from Donghua City, he rushed to Meixi Port Wharf to visit the unloading operation.

After the factory foundation pile foundation project is completed, large structural parts must be installed first, so the first batch of steelmaking equipment that arrived in China are all thick and bulky structural parts.

Even after the split, some structural parts are still spanned as 20 to 30 meters, weighing more than tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons, which is a big test for the establishment of Meixi Port Company.

When management can't keep up, the uninstall site will inevitably look a bit messy

At the same time, these large structural parts cannot be packed, and there is no need to provide special fine protection when dismantling and shipping. If they are exposed to the external environment for several months, they will inevitably look rusty and look very unsightly.

The relatively ugly scene caused discussion among the officials who accompanied the visiting:

"Can this batch of broken copper and iron be transported to China and be reassembled into a production line? Don't you cheated on the British?"

"No matter whether it can be done or not, the key is that this batch of equipment is cheaper. I heard that it is slightly more expensive than scrap steel."

"It's cheap? Do you think you'll be done after buying the equipment? It's not enough to dismantle it, but it's not enough to install it? I heard that in the future, you'll have to hire British engineers to debug in the future. This is different from the country. A domestic engineer kills 1,000 yuan a month; if you hire someone, you have to spend tens of thousands of dollars a month to buy the equipment, but you have to import related technologies from the UK. The cost is millions of dollars. Even if you ship it back to China, you have to use the British shipping company Meigang to report a data to the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission. It is said that the factory is well built and the foreign exchange paid to the British is about 30 million US dollars. Which one is cheap? There's always only the wrong purchase in the world. There's no reason to sell incorrectly. Do you think the British are fools, and you'll give you equipment for free?"

"Yes, I heard that these equipments are scrapped in the UK, but what if you say, now who will go to the place, will you support the scene first? As long as the scene is good and your political achievements are available, who cares whether the factory can be built in the future, and whether it can be run after completion? Is it profitable to run?"

Song Wenhui looked back and saw that most of the officials who were unrestrained behind were talking in the economic and trade system of Huaihai Province, and they were talking in a hurry, as if they were in the transaction with Seyumims, hiding their self-righteous dirty things.

Song Wenhui noticed that the fourth brother's face looked ugly, as if he was holding back his temper and proceeded with the established visiting activities first.

This time the province asked Song Bingsheng to lead the team to Donghua, it can be said that it was out of some kindness.

Donghua has indeed had great economic development over the past period, which is directly related to the large-scale and rooted penetration of the Song Dynasty into the Donghua area; and the existing achievements of Meixi Port Industrial Park were directly promoted by Shen Huai.

Others in the province don’t know the relationship between Chen Huai and Song Bingsheng, but Tian Jiageng and Zhao Qiuhua know that asking Song Bingsheng to lead the team can also be said to be a show of kindness to the Song clan. They don’t care how much the Song clan’s power is strengthened in this corner of Donghua.

It’s just that Song Bingsheng was responsible for the provincial agricultural work before and could not manage the economic and trade system. However, this time, British investors had to negotiate cooperation. The officials of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission naturally had to accompany him.

Although officials of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission respect Song Bingsheng as the vice governor, they are not as good as officials. They have no sense of awe of Song Bingsheng, so they discuss any topics relatively casually. They are not afraid of offending Song Bingsheng and wearing shoes.

Of course, if they knew about Song Bingsheng and Chen Huai and Meixigang Industrial Park, they would be somewhat restrained because they didn't know that, so the teasing tone in their words would be a bit unscrupulous. They didn't care about the feelings of local officials at all, and even were jealous of local officials such as Chen Huai and others.

For officials in the provincial economic and trade system, Chen Huai and other officials in Meixi Town are much younger than them, and they are already deputy directors and chief departments; and the local deputy directors and chief departments are obviously much more powerful than the department departments of provincial agencies, and they can get much more affordable benefits. How could they feel comfortable for officials in the agency who have been to the department level for more than 20 years before they have been to the department level?

Song Wenhui looked at Chen Huai again. Chen Huai looked at the vast river and sky outside the dock with his hands, as if he turned a deaf ear to these people's comments, and did not say that he wanted to look at his father's expression.

Song Wenhui sighed in her heart. For officials who don’t know how to be aware of their profession, seeing such a large pile of rusty structural parts piled up on the docks, anyone will feel a little cold. They may also be pessimistic and disappointed with the prospects of Mei Steel Factory from the bottom of their hearts. However, it is obviously a difficult and thankless thing to make officials who don’t know how to understand the operation of the industrial system.

Tan Qiping accompanied Song Bingsheng and others to visit the bulk shipping company of the British shipping company. Song Wenhui was one step behind and said to Chen Huai in a voice: "My aunt may have helped you this time..."

Chen Huai smiled and said, "After the factory is completed, Meigang can prove himself. It is not bad for a year or two. This will also allow some officials who used to only sit in the office to know that some things are more complicated than what they see on the surface. Sister-in-law, can you think this be considered a good thing?"

Song Wenhui smiled, knowing that things have come to an end, it is impossible to regret it, so she can only look forward

Sun Yalin curled her lips. Chen Huai didn't agree to let the provincial officials come to visit the work site.

For those who know the details of the operation of the industrial system, even if they remove a color TV shell, they can see the beauty of it when facing a pair of parts. For another part, they can only look at the bright and beautiful shell. If they see the scattered parts inside, they will be devilish.

Now, most of the steelmaking wire weighing nearly 20,000 tons and nearly 10,000 structural parts are piled on the open yard of the wharf. It would be a miracle that the scene would look good.

However, Song Wenhui didn't think too much at first, but thought about being enthusiastic and tried every means to ease the tense father-son relationship between Shen Huai and Song Bingsheng. She hoped that Song Bingsheng would see that Chen Huai had worked in Meixi Town for less than two years and had made such achievements that he could improve his impression of Chen Huai. He advocated to arrange the visit to Meixi Town more deeply, but he did not expect that it would have a counterproductive effect.

During the disassembly and transportation of these large structural parts for four or five months, it is impossible to provide fine protection. What large iron blocks are exposed to an environment with such high humidity and will not be stained with embroidery?

However, as long as the corrosion degree of these large structural parts is controllable, after they arrive at the construction site, they can be put into use

This will save a lot of construction time for the construction of Mei Steel Plant

A steel plant with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons usually takes more than two years to build a steel plant. Although the final construction fund invested by Mei Steel Plant may not be much less, the key construction cycle can be shortened by nearly half, and the saving time benefits are worth half the factory. However, these are not clear to those who do not understand the industry. What they can see is just a pile of rusty copper and rotten iron in front of them.

Song Bingsheng resisted his unhappiness. After visiting the dock, the visit ended quickly. However, he returned to Shangxi Garden to rest and have a meal.

When only a few people were left in the room, including Tan Qiping, Song Wenhui, Liu Weili, Pan Shihua, Hu Shuwei, Su Kaiwen, etc., Song Bingsheng couldn't help but ask Tan Qiping: "Old Tan, what do you think of the Mei Steel Plant project?"

Tan Qiping just smiled and said, "It's nothing. Reform and opening up is just about feeling the stones across the river. Even if it fails, you can learn a lesson, even if you pay the tuition fee..."

What can he say? He opposed Chen Huai's construction of Mei Steel Factory at the beginning, but Chen Huai insisted on his own actions, and had no intention of district and city opinions, so he could not force the fire. At this time, he could only spread his hands and say some sarcastic words.

"The tuition fee of 600 million yuan is too expensive," Song Bingsheng sighed and said.

"It's too early to draw a conclusion now?" Song Wenhui couldn't help but defend Chen Huai's explanation.

"Tian and Zhao, who don't want to see the jokes of the Song family? I'll have a good idea when I'm going to come down to investigate this time?" Song Bingsheng listened to the officials below teasing and talking for a long time, but he couldn't show his face. He felt so angry for a long time. When he heard that his younger sister Song Wenhui was still partial to Chen Huai at this time, he couldn't help but complain, "It seems that Huaineng Group's pace is still smaller. It's better for our country to pay so much tuition, and the Song family can't have such jokes to show to others..."

Song Wenhui was also frustrated and couldn't take it back in person. She asked the fourth brother not to interfere in the internal affairs of Dongdian. She looked elsewhere with a uglier expression.

"I'll say two points,"

Chen Huai looked up for a long time, and he could help but feel unhappy, but his father said those words too heavily and too much, and he directly denied the work achievements of Meixi Town in front of Tan Qiping, Pan Shihua, Liu Weili and others. He could not ignore them.

If he didn't speak at this time, it is hard to say whether Pan Shihua and the others would use chicken feathers as arrows to suppress the development pace of Meixi Town. However, this incident will be a direct blow to Meixi's morale. Mei Steel Factory will continue to borrow construction funds from provincial and municipal banking institutions in the future, which will be seriously affected.

Chen Huai pressed his hand on the table and said,

"First, the construction of Meigang Factory is currently operated by Meigang, so I only need to be responsible to investors, not to local governments. This is also a main purpose of the current State Council and the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to promote enterprise restructuring. We must build a modern enterprise system with clear property rights and clear rights and responsibilities. If the factory fails in the future, I will assume all responsibilities to the investors. Second, on the day the factory is completed, I will invite provincial and municipal leaders to guide the work..."
