"I don't understand, I don't understand!"

Li Gu rushed to Tian’s house early in the morning and accompanied Tian Jiageng to the provincial party committee.

When he pushed the door open and entered the room, he saw Tian Jiageng sitting at the dining table and drinking porridge with side dishes, Li Gu started yelling loudly.

"What's the matter? Even if you, the fake Zhuge, can't understand?" Tian Jiageng took the chopsticks, pulled the porridge, drank it all, put the bowl in his hand, and asked Li Gu what happened, which made him so confused.

Tian Jiageng had no direct suspicion in Donghua. After Chen Huai resigned from Mei Gang's position and requested to be transferred to Yushan, Li Gu could only know after the news spread to Donghua.

However, this news was quite shocking in Donghua and spread very quickly. Li Gu was still lying in bed early in the morning and received a call and learned about this, so he hurried over to meet Tian Jiageng.

Li Gu asked Tianzhai's nanny to help him serve a bowl of porridge, sat at the dining table, and told Tian Jiageng the latest situation of Donghua: "I don't understand why Chen Huai had to stand by and watch the problem of Donghua City Steel. Although Chen Huai had a deep conflict with Tan Qiping, Donghua City Steel encountered such a big problem. If he asked someone from the Song family to coordinate, Mei Gang would merge with Donghua City Steel, I think Tan Qiping would not necessarily refuse. Mei Gang is still dominant in state-owned and local stocks. Mei Gang merged with Donghua City Steel, and the province has no excuse to stop it. Why did Chen Huai take a posture that had nothing to do with him and made Tan Qiping even more embarrassed?"

"..." Tian Jiageng drank the porridge in a hurry and asked Li Gu to continue talking.

"Chen Huai's decision to leave Meigang at this time means that Meigang Factory No. 2 is no longer a problem," said Li Gu. "As long as Meigang Factory No. 2 is not a problem, Meigang takes over Donghua Steel, and should be able to digest Donghua Steel. Is the title of Huaihai Province's largest steel enterprise not attractive to Chen Huai? Now Shen Huai is determined to stand by and push Tan Qiping into a more awkward situation, but at the same time it will inevitably make the fisherman of the Provincial Steel Group profitable - I think Chen Huai will not see this. The Provincial Steel Group's steel production this year has reached 1.5 million tons. If it can take over Donghua Steel, including taking over the shares of Donghua Steel in the joint venture steel plant, the total production capacity will exceed 2.4 million tons. Can't Chen Huai see that how eager is Shenggang to eat Donghua Steel?"

Tian Jiageng put down his bowl and thought about the problem Li Gu said.

Although the domestic steel market is still in a situation of supply and demand in short supply, and it is necessary to import a large amount of steel from overseas every year, in terms of regional markets, seizing the surrounding market means lower transportation costs, more effective market control, and higher profits.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Meigang has direct competition with Donghua Steel and Provincial Steel Group within the Huaihai Province.

More importantly, which one of Meigang or Provincial Steel, is the largest steel company in Huaihai Province, will also involve the policy preferences of the provincial party committee and government in the future.

At present, there are no particularly heavy-weight heavy industry enterprises in Huaihai Province.

If there is a steel company that has the hope of squeezing into the top ten or even top five in the industry, it is not unimaginable that the provincial party committee and government will fully support it.

The full support of the provincial party committee and government also means a large inflow of talents, funds and other provincial resources.

Resources are always limited. In the past, Meigang did not receive much support from the province. After all, Meigang in the past was a bit inconspicuous, and the provinces and cities had no reason to tilt limited resources towards Meigang.

Once Meigang merges with Donghua Steel, the total steel production capacity will be rapidly expanded to 1.7 million tons, and the Provincial Steel Group, which exceeds the annual production capacity of only 1.5 million tons, will become the largest steel enterprise in the province. If the provincial party committee and government do not provide Meigang with more policy support, it will be unreasonable in all aspects.

"We don't care what the intention behind Chen Huai is. Just looking at the Provincial Steel Group's approach to solve the problem of Donghua Steel, is it more beneficial than disadvantages or more harmful than advantages?" Tian Jiageng asked Li Gu.

"From the overall perspective, it is still beneficial for Provincial Steel to merge Donghua City Steel. The steel industry has capital-intensive characteristics and has obvious economies of scale. The merger and integration of Donghua City Steel should have a positive effect," said Li Gu.

"That's fine. If Zhao Qiuhua proposes that the Provincial Steel will come forward to solve the problem of Donghua City Steel, then it should support it," Tian Jiageng said. "As for the others, we should not think too much about it. It is also possible that Chen Huai's purpose is to drag the Provincial Steel into his bureau?"

"Secretary Tian, ​​do you think Chen Huai's purpose is this?" Li Gu asked in confusion, "However, Shenggang still has advantages in capital, technology and talent reserves. He should be confident in digesting Donghua Steel. Chen Huai pushed Donghua Steel out at this time and asked Shenggang to digest it. What are the benefits for Meigang?"

"You, sometimes you just think too much," Tian Jiageng smiled, "I can't understand it now, so I might as well wait for a while before reading it. If Chen Huai had any intention, it would always surface."

*******************Song Bingsheng kept pace in the study, holding his chin with his hands and his face was so yin that he could twist out water.

Half a month after returning from Yanjing, he observed the situation quietly, but he didn't expect to see the result quietly.

Tan Qiping arrived at Xucheng in the early morning and temporarily settled in the city stationed in Xucheng, but he couldn't close his eyes all night and rushed to Song Bingsheng's home in Xucheng early in the morning.

Xie Haicheng was also in Xu Cheng during this period, sitting silently on the sofa. He couldn't figure out what the boy Chen Huai was thinking, as if they hadn't figured out Chen Huai clearly at the beginning.

Su Weijun did not come, but Su Weijun's son Su Kaiwen was present, which also represented Su Weijun's attitude to a certain extent. Su Weijun did not show up at this time, which meant that he supported Tan Qiping.

If the city cannot digest and solve the problem of the city steel on its own, there will be no way to stop Zhao Qiuhua from intervening in, and there will be no excuse to stop asking the province for help. If the situation does not become worse, the Song faction will have to give up a certain territory and compromise with Zhao Qiuhua.

Zhao Qiuhua had already revealed her fangs, and Tan Qiping didn't know how much he had to compromise to make Zhao Qiuhua satisfied. He once thought that he had managed Donghua as solid as a sacrificial one, but he almost turned the tables on others in an instant.

"Can Haifeng and Changqing Group take over the problem of Shigang?" Su Kai asked in his voice.

Su Kaiwen learned a lot from him, knowing that once Donghua's hole was pried open by Zhao Qiuhua, the whole situation would be detrimental to them in the future.

Zhao Qiuhua is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the governor, the zhongyāng member, and the direct descendant of Prime Minister Hu Zhicheng. He has been operating in Huaihai Province for many years. In Huaihai Province, the power accumulated by the Zhao clan is even stronger than that of the new provincial party secretary Tian Jiageng.

In Donghua, Yu Chengzhen, the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, received the support of Zhao Qiuhua, dared to jump out and sing on stage with them. Once Zhao Qiuhua was asked to stuff one or two heavyweights into Donghua and ask them to take the Municipal Steel Group to be a bridgehead, the Zhao team's power in Donghua will be greatly expanded.

Next, the Zhao clan would extend his hand to Meixi New District, and then even think about driving Tan Qiping out of Donghua and turning Donghua into their territory. It is not unimaginable.

Even if Su Kaiwen is for his future, he doesn't want Zhao to extend his hand too quickly in Donghua and expand his power too quickly.

Facing Su Kai's inquiry, Xie Haicheng just pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.

Although he and Sun Qiyi were able to raise 200 million yuan in funds, the problem of Donghua City Steel is not entirely a problem of funds. Haifeng and Changqing Group were not picked up by 200 million yuan in funds. They invested in Shigang, but how to ensure the safety of this investment, rather than swallowing the bottomless pit of Shigang?

If Chen Huai and Tan Qiping did not have such a deep conflict, if Chen Huai, like Song Hongqi, was a successor worth investing in resources for a large amount of training, rather than a ungrateful wolf who is likely to bite back, the best solution is naturally to merge with Shigang, and Haifeng and Changqing Group inject more funds into Meigang.

In this way, the Song Group can quickly master a large steel company that has entered the top ten in the industry, making Donghua City completely a territory that the Song Group cannot covet, so as to help the Song Group seize more commanding heights in Huaihai Province and form a situation of competing with Tian and Zhao.

It’s a pity that all beautiful ideas have to face cruel reality.

Chen Huai, the ungrateful wolf, not only stood by and watched, but also stabbed them hard.

Others don’t know about Xiong Wenbin’s attitude, but Tan Qiping knows it.

After the explosion accident on December 9, he talked to Xiong Wenbin twice, aiming to ease the previous tensions, thinking that once the situation in the city steel was difficult to deal with, Xiong Wenbin would return to the city steel to preside over the overall situation.

Although Tan Qiping did not say it clearly, he believed that Xiong Wenbin could see his intention; he could also see that Xiong Wenbin was moved and had no intention of refusing.

Xiong Wenbin suddenly changed his attitude and was admitted to the hospital due to illness and no longer showed up. Why did Tan Qiping believe that it was not Chen Huai who was making trouble behind the scenes?

Tan Qiping regrets it now. At the beginning, he did not directly point out this meaning with Xiong Wenbin. Instead, he asked Chen Huai to take the lead and told him to lose the initiative.

Tan Qiping has many issues to consider. Not only does he have to clean up the mess of Shigang, but he hopes that Su Weijun and Song Bingsheng can support him in compromise with Zhao Qiuhua, but he also needs to consider the attitude and opinions of the Song faction towards him. Will it change due to this crisis?

He was worried that everyone in the Song Dynasty would question his ability to master the situation, which would be the most fatal blow to him - this is Chen Huai's purpose?

Seeing the bitter smile on Xie Haicheng's face, Tan Qiping knew that Haifeng and Changqing Group could not take over the mess of Shigang. What they needed to get from him was the benefit, rather than selflessly using 200 million funds to smash into the bottomless pit to help him solve the problem.

Tan Qiping thought for a long time and said, "From the current situation, the city has no ability to solve the problem of the steel industry. I have been thinking about it for a long time and thought of such a plan. Please ask Governor Song and Mr. Xie to help me learn more about it..."

Song Bingsheng nodded and asked Tan Qiping to continue saying that he now knew that his words would not play any role in Chen Huai, the evil son.

"Shigang's current assets can be divided into two parts, one is the shares held in the joint venture steel mill, and the other is the steelmaking wire and subsidiary of Shigang," said Tan Qiping. "If you do nothing now, you will ask Shangang to take over the solution of Shigang's problem. That is equivalent to saying that the city wants to give Shangang free of charge to Shangang. I wonder if Haifeng and Changqing Group will join forces to acquire Shangang's shares in the joint venture steel mill; after Shigang obtains this fund, the negotiations with Shangang will not be too passive."

Song Bingsheng looked at Xie Haicheng.

Xie Haicheng did not express his opinion easily, but said, "I will call Sun Qiyi to see if he has time to come to Xucheng."

Shigang is a mess, and for Shigang as a whole, Haifeng and Changqing Group, there is not enough resources and capabilities to digest this mess.

But it does not mean that there is no good meat on Shigang.

Although the joint venture steel plant has not been fully completed, the current construction is in good condition.

Moreover, in order to ensure the construction of the joint venture steel plant, not only did Japan's Fuji Iron Manufacturing draw a large amount of management and technical force, but the City Steel also invested the remaining best human resources into the joint venture steel plant to maintain the construction progress.

Moreover, the joint venture steel plant is located in the large-scale industrial layout of Meixi Town. With the help of Meixi Power Plant, Meixi Port Terminal and the peripheral industrial chain formed around Meilin, the future profit expectations of the joint venture steel plant can be guaranteed.

If you don’t take care of other messes and bad meat in Shigang, just the 35% stake in the joint venture steel mill can be said to be a hot commodity.

The problem is that Shigang initially invested 120 million yuan in the joint venture steel mill's 35% equity. How much does it cost to get this hot commodity?

The price is too high, so Xie Haicheng certainly doesn't do it; but judging from Tan Qiping's attitude, he doesn't seem to be willing to be too low.

Song Bingsheng was anxious. Seeing that Xie Haicheng was interested in taking over the shares of the joint venture steel mill, he directly asked Tan Qiping: "What price can Donghua City agree to transfer this part of the shares to Haifeng and Changqing Group?"

"The City Steel invested 1.2 billion yuan at the beginning. After more than a year of preparation and construction of the joint venture steel plant, the situation is now long, and it will be officially put into production and profitable in three or five months. I think if it is less than 1.5 billion yuan, I have no way to say that other members of the Standing Committee agreed to this plan..." Tan Qiping said.

Song Bingsheng nodded. Shigang initially took out 120 million yuan, plus interest, and the total cost would not exceed 130 million yuan. Now Haifeng and Changqing Group have joined forces to invest 150 million yuan to take over the shares of the joint venture steel mill, which is equivalent to Shigang's net profit of more than 20 million yuan in this transaction.

The joint venture steel plant project was facilitated by Tan Qiping.

It is not difficult to understand that Tan Qiping wants to ensure that the city steel cannot make losses in this project.

Of course, Shigang will not directly obtain 150 million yuan of funds from Haifeng and Changqing Group, but will transfer the previous 120 million yuan of loan debt and equity to Haifeng and Changqing Group at the same time, and receive an additional 30 million yuan of compensation.

For Shigang, reducing debt of 120 million and obtaining an additional 30 million yuan in additional funds will also be of great help to alleviate the current crisis. In this case, even if the problem of Shigang still needs to be solved, Donghua City can still take some initiative.

This plan can also make Tan Qiping receive support from the Standing Committee of Donghua City and take the initiative.

Moreover, this plan is also beneficial to the Song Dynasty.

It depends on whether Xie Haicheng is satisfied with Tan Qiping’s bid.

"Okay, I'll call Sun Qiyi and ask him to come over and talk directly." Xie Haicheng said.

He knew that Tan Qiping's offer was not high.

The resources invested by the Municipal Steel Corporation in the joint venture steel mill are more than 120 million yuan, and also a large amount of human resources. This value is difficult to estimate, but it will definitely not be low.

If the Municipal Steel had not been able to remove the large number of backbone forces from Meigang and the joint venture steel mill, such a major production accident would not have occurred.

Moreover, the joint venture steel plant is about to be completed. Taking over the shares of the joint venture steel plant at this time means that the investment risk is greatly reduced.
