The rise of nanometers

Just when Huang Xiuyuan was inspecting the Texas semiconductor base.

Ji Province, Tonghua.

Tonghua Iron and Steel Group Headquarters.

Gong Xincheng, who had only been in office for three months, had mixed emotions at this time, because just over a week ago, the superiors suddenly issued a document allowing Tonghua Iron and Steel to accept the restructuring.

However, this restructuring is different from the last Jianlong Holdings, and it is also very different from the Shougang acquisition that was originally a hot topic.

An unexpected company has become the actual manager of Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and that is Suiren Company, which has been in fierce battles with foreign companies in recent times.

In this restructuring, all shares of Tonghua Steel were divided into three, with 33% controlled by the Kyrgyzstan State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, 33% controlled by the Iron and Steel Association, and the final 34% controlled by the Social Security Fund.

According to the "joint plan" of Locust Ant Company, in addition to wages, bonuses and benefits, all Tonghua Iron and Steel employees will receive virtual stock allotments and dividends as long as they make relevant contributions.

The inspection team dispatched by Locust Ant Company to Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. has now taken over Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and has launched a series of internal tasks, including personnel adjustments, asset assessments, equipment inspections, employee assessments, etc.

Cai Bocai, the leader of the inspection team with the power to appoint and remove personnel, quickly reorganized Tonghua Iron and Steel's management based on Suiren's internal system.

Although Gong Xincheng's position as president has been retained, the attitude of Locust Ant Company is also very clear. If the management is good, he will continue to work. Virtual stock option incentives are indispensable. If the management is not good, he will just pack up and leave.

In the president's office.

Although Gong Xincheng is the president, the real core is Cai Bocai on the side.

A vice president suggested: "The current annual output of Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is 7.2 million tons. The market for construction steel this year is not bad. We should increase production."

Gong Xincheng turned around and said, "Zhu Cai, I wonder what your instructions are?"

"Construction steel can be produced. You can decide on market matters yourself. As long as it does not violate the company's basic law, there is no need to ask me." Cai Bo just finished speaking, and then thought for a while and added:

"I have already placed an order for you from Blue Era to supply steel pipes and sheets."

After taking the document, Gong Xincheng discovered the huge power of the Suiren system.

This is Blue Era’s plan to build a water transmission line on the coast of Liao Province, from the coast of Liao Province directly to the Horqin Sandy Land and Hulunbuir Sandy Land in Tongliao, as well as the saline-alkali belts in the three eastern provinces.

The preliminary plan is to build three water pipelines, which are not only large in quantity, but also very affordable.

Gong Xincheng hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Team Cai, for taking care of me."

"One more thing, you know about the Dalian Ore Exchange, right?"

Gong Xincheng, who didn't know what was going on, nodded: "I received the invitation letter and permit a few days ago. I wonder what Team Cai's orders are?"

"Blue Star Mining is already producing iron powder in large quantities. The Kulun mining area close to Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. currently reserves 1.47 million tons of iron powder. Tong Iron and Steel will purchase its ore materials from Blue Star Mining in the future, and the price is the internal price of 1,200 per ton."

"1,200 per ton?" A vice president responsible for purchasing iron ore hesitated to speak.

Cai Bocai briefly explained: "Don't worry, we won't cheat Tonggang. It's pure iron powder, not iron ore powder."

"Pure iron powder?"

When hearing this term for the first time, all Tongsteel executives looked at each other.

Cai Bocai, who didn't know much about steel smelting, did not continue to explain. Instead, he asked Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to send people to the Kulun Mine to bring back thousands of tons of pure iron powder. He then called Snail Industry and asked Snail Steel Factory to send some. Engineers came over and instructed Tonggang to use pure iron powder for smelting.

Blue Star Mining transports iron powder to Tongliao by road, and then uses railways directly to Tonghua.

Three days later.

The first batch of pure iron powder, totaling 5,000 tons, arrived at Tonghua Steel's smelting base.

Several engineers who were poached from Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. also lamented the fickleness of fate. They did not expect that they would return to Tonghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.'s smelting base in this capacity within a few months of leaving.

Zhu Fengshou, the technical director in charge of the smelting work, knew these runaway engineers, and both parties were embarrassed.

"Wear gas helmets and don't come into contact with pure iron powder casually. These pure iron powders are all nano-sized. If accidentally inhaled into the body, it will damage your health over time." One of the snail engineers reminded.

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone wears customized gas helmets, which are specially equipped with electromagnetic filters to prevent inhalation of iron dust.

After opening the container, the pure iron powder that had been compacted in advance was displayed in front of everyone. It was different from the red and black gray iron ore sand. The pure iron powder was dark black and had no obvious metallic luster in the sun.

After more than an hour of careful operation, the pure iron powder was finally poured into the electric furnace. This is an electric steel furnace that smelts steel directly through electricity.

According to the alloy steel formula to be produced, the relevant raw materials are prepared.

Since pure iron powder is an ultra-fine powder, the smelting speed is accelerated. Soon, under the action of electricity, the iron powder and alloy steel auxiliary materials are melted together.

Gong Xincheng, who had just arrived, hurriedly asked: "Lao Zhu, how is the situation?"

"Come on, the first batch of molten steel is about to come out." Zhu Fengshou was also very nervous and walked around involuntarily.

In the huge electric furnace, the first batch of molten steel was soon poured from the steelmaking furnace into the prepared container.

After looking at the smelted alloy steel, the weight was a few points higher than that of pure iron powder. Basically, for every ton of pure iron powder, slightly more than 1 ton of alloy steel could be smelted.

After the steel ingot in the container had cooled down, a large number of technicians quickly inspected the steel ingot and found that there were many gaps between the internal parameters of the steel ingot and what was expected.

These different parameters also surprised Zhu Fengshou and others.

He estimated the expenditures during the production process and found that the cost was at least 30% lower than the cost of ordinary steel plants at this stage.

For a steel factory with low profits, even a 10% cost reduction, let alone a 30% cost reduction, is enough to make Gong Xincheng ecstatic.

After trying to smelt three furnaces of molten iron, Zhu Fengshou found that the smelting cost had indeed dropped by about one-third, and the quality of the steel itself was technically controllable. The required alloy steel could be accurately extracted according to the formula.

After Gong Xincheng read the report, he realized the help brought by the Suiren system.

After all, using pure iron powder can effectively reduce the overall cost. No wonder the price of Blue Star Mining's pure iron powder is as high as 1,200 yuan per ton, which is higher than the iron ore on the market.

Moreover, Zhu Fengshou also reported that pure iron powder has no impurities, so there is no need to worry about steel producing substandard products due to harmful impurities.

What Tonghua Steel needs to do at this stage is, on the one hand, to develop alloy steel formulas for pure iron powder, and on the other hand, to increase the scale of pure iron powder procurement.

Looking at the furnaces of red molten steel, all Tonghua employees felt full of energy, as if they had been reborn from the ashes.

Although the inspection team of Locust Ant Company sometimes seems ruthless, it has promised that some employees, especially engineers with technical skills, will receive stock options by the end of this year.

Coupled with the water pipe orders and cheap pure iron powder brought over, many Tonghua Iron and Steel employees have a favorable impression of Robinia ants, which also accelerated the overall takeover of Robinia Ant Company.

Tonghua Iron and Steel is reborn from the ashes, and as time goes by, getting closer and closer to November 8, the Dalian Ore Exchange building has been renovated and the trading system is now being debugged.
