"I have another condition here. Our financial backer also has a steel plant. If possible, he would also like to increase production, but there are no channels for this. If possible, let his steel plant also expand its scale. One million tons is enough, but he won’t be able to handle more.”
Arturo said the last thing.
"Competition is good, and I'm happy to help connect the dots."
Sanjesé nodded. This was something he wished for. He even hoped that Argentina could have more steel plants and serve as a steel broker. There was no competition.
This is the last condition for talking to Arturo. Argentina not only needs one steel plant, but many more. If they are willing to invest, just get them a relationship and sell them a favor.
Moreover, multiple steel plants can also reduce the pressure of introduction and distract others' attention.
St. Hesse quickly weighed the pros and cons of this matter, and suddenly felt that there was a lot to be done.
Building a large-scale steel plant like this is a bit too publicity, and it is easy for others to target and cause trouble. Even with the protection of the military blue faction, it may not be able to cope with it. Oligarch capital and foreign capital are not vegetarians.
It's better to have more competitors, and it doesn't necessarily have to be such a big blast furnace. You can also invest in things like Rosario. As for iron ore and coal mines, if Thunder Mining solves the problem in Western Australia, then you can still get a share of it. , kill two birds with one stone.
And to be honest with Argentina, although the Argentine treasury has no money, the private sector does have money. The ancestors were rich, and there are not many places to spend money. All of it is moldy in the banks.
Nowadays, domestic private capital is really not short of money. If it is not possible, it can be offset by beef and wheat. The money left in the bank is just a number, and it will continue to depreciate. These rich people lack investment channels, so package the steel factory and let them do more. , it’s not a waste of effort.
Only by turning money into a real industry can the country's industry continue to strengthen and the risk of unemployment be reduced. Only when money is flowing can it be truly valuable. To be honest, investing in steel is not a loss, but it is just a slow profit.
The money in the bank is just a pile of numbers and cannot produce value.
In the past few decades, the richest people in Argentina were the Middle East oil tycoons of later generations, but they were not as rich as the oil tycoons. At least the rich people could buy some luxury cars and invest abroad.
Moreover, the annual output of three to five million tons of blast furnace converters is not too little, and one million tons is not too much. You can also get some rebates and lower the overall purchase price.
Saint Hesse thought about the excitement, hurriedly patted his thighs, and drove to the consulting company. The consulting company was as usual, and Saint Hesse carefully focused on this building. The sunset was full of beauty, and the scattered golden light was mottled.
This is a 4-story office building bought by San Jose. It has a great view, is not too remote, and exudes French style. There is also a small courtyard with 2,000 square meters on each floor.
This 4-story building is said to be designed by a French designer who used the Empire style from Paris during the reign of Napoleon III.
The Empire style is a dazzling and luxurious variant of the classicism style. It is the official French architectural decoration style that was popular during the Napoleonic period. If you want to ask what the French Empire style is, you can look at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and you will probably know something. Yes,
At present, only the bottom floor is filled with personnel, and most of the other floors are vacant. San Jose has also arranged for people from the Delta to be responsible for security work.
This time I came to St. Hesse more calmly. When I visited it carefully, the solid wooden floors all showed a sense of history. This building was built in 1888. The decoration is relatively luxurious and grand, and some simple decorations are also placed. Products, sculptures and the like.
The setting sun shines into the house through the glass window, and the faint aroma of coffee fills the air. It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the employees are here and have begun to prepare to get off work. The consulting company looks like a consulting company.
St. Jose walked briskly to the elevator. People greeted him along the way. He walked to the old-fashioned iron elevator and pressed the button. It's like the hanging basket style in Inception, rising slowly.
Ask Isay to send another telegram to Europe and ask them to negotiate more medium-sized steel plants and lower the negotiated price. It is still a lot more expensive.
There are not many people on the fourth floor. Most of them are the core of the Falcon Bureau, which is relatively hidden.
After receiving the information in Europe, Nicks said in Vienna that the boss's words were correct. He would do whatever he said. He would continue to negotiate with the Austrian United Steel Company and ask them to arrange more people and lower the price. Enough.
Ian from Brussels, Belgium, was confused, but immediately started to continue negotiations with Thomas Steel Works.
Thomas Steel Works and Siemat Steel Works have already planned to join forces. They have been strongly impacted by the resurgence of West German steel. In addition, the coal and steel raw materials mainly come from the Ruhr area, which poses strong competition with Krupp Steel. The impact is very large. The steel industry in Luxembourg next door has also received a lot of impact. Belgian steel is very strong and its technology is also very advanced.
The boss has spoken, so let's continue the negotiation. I just don't know what the boss's purpose is. He wants four or five medium-sized steel plants. This is not cost-effective. You must know that the two blast furnaces planned to be built in front of Saint-Jesse are both large blast furnaces of 1,500 cubic meters. , energy consumption is much lower in all aspects.
When San Jose asked Isai to write the telegram, he had already begun to think about how to get Argentines to invest in the steel industry. In fact, except for the three major steel plants, there seemed to be no other steel plants that could continue to expand production.
Not only can we build steel plants, but we can also attract people to invest.
The Buenos Aires Steel Plant was officially the factory that Arturo asked San Jose to help connect. It was actually a private steel plant.
The Belleville Steel Plant in Rosario, which is also a privately owned steel plant, asked Lucien from Coen Brothers to step in and ask if they wanted to expand production and have the latest European technology.
The Argentinian state-owned steel plant south of Putrajaya is state-owned. This plant can be built if necessary. If not, forget it.
"Hello, I'm St. Jose Cohen, help me pick up the general manager's office."
Saint-Jesse called the Xin’a newspaper office and asked for Andre.
"Hello, boss, can I ask you anything?"
"How are the ads in Xin'a Newspaper this month? Are they all sold out?"
"Boss, this month's ads are still in the campaign, and many companies are planning to advertise."
"That's good, let Xin'a Newspaper publish a full-page advertisement on Fortune. The content is, Argentina's most profitable industry - all in the Plaza de Mayo Assembly Hall. It will be released on March 15th. It will be signed by Prali International Company. Let the people in the editorial department , for processing and polishing,
Then I will find a few more newspapers to work together to build momentum. I want everyone in Argentina to know the news. Radio stations will also insert advertisements. I will give you an extra budget. "
"Yes, boss."
Although Zhang Er was confused, Andre still did as the boss said.
"Get people from the editorial and advertising departments over immediately, especially Boyne."
Andre told his secretary that the new newspaper office had more than a hundred people and needed many new employees, and Andre also needed to pretend to be a manager.
Ten minutes later, all the elite members of the editorial department of Xin'a Newspaper came over, among whom Bone was a complete geek.
Andre looked around, asked everyone to quiet down, and then said,
"The boss has given us a task, which is to advertise. You should study carefully how to build this momentum."
The people in the editorial department took Andre's handwritten paper, which contained only a dozen or twenty words, and said that he wanted people to invest.
"President, is this a bit difficult?" a member of the editorial department raised his hand and said. For ordinary advertisements, the advertising department is usually responsible for writing them, and the results are very good. This time the situation is obviously different, and the editorial department is also responsible for writing. To show up.
"Well, just take it seriously. Don't worry. Speak freely and brainstorm. Just spread the news quickly and well. And Prali International, as you know, is the company that has been in the limelight recently."
"I understand, President."
The editorial department and advertising department of the Xin'a News Agency can be said to be extremely powerful. They are inspired by Saint Jose. To put it bluntly, they are hyping news hot spots, but they also have to be advertisements.
For newspaper media, news hype is actually the pursuit of entertainment functions and maximization of communication effects. This is an exaggeration and deformation of news reporting planning, and is a way for news communicators to conduct news reporting activities that violates the rules of news communication. Excessive planning and design.
However, if the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, and San Jose cannot control so much. It gathers the power of private capital to contribute to the Argentine steel industry and seize new development positions.
…
After arranging the newspaper's public opinion hype, Sanjesé was ready again. He planned to hold a wealth summit to attract investment and let Argentine private capital build a steel plant.
To convince them, you must have enough reasons and give a speech.
As for communication and sales, St. Jose recalled some brainwashing techniques, on-site atmosphere, and shilling.
In fact, there are currently few investment channels in Argentina. The market value of the Argentine stock market is too low. If you buy a house, you can own it at home. Usury is illegal. Farming is too tiring. It is easy to lose money on other investments.
This is indeed a good opportunity, and the principle of the steel investment boom in New China in later generations is the object of St. Hesse's study. It can be considered and deduced from five aspects.
The first is the strong market demand, which requires building momentum. The Bilong government's 300,000 real estate investment and highway transportation construction, neighboring countries need steel.
The second is profit-driven. Now new countries are constantly being born in the world. Everyone is working hard to develop industry. After the war, the average price of steel has increased. This is a big entry point.
San Jose itself is a big consumer of steel, such as infrastructure construction in the towns of Morado and Maria, as well as tractors, motorcycles, Rennes industry, and Rennes military industry, all of which require a lot of steel.
The third is for local governments to encourage the development of the steel industry with preferential policies and accelerate the growth of steel investment. This requires the cooperation of the Radical Party.
The fourth is to use bank capital as a boost, which requires lobbying banks and financial oligarchs. The Radical Party will handle it. Everyone also wants to make money, and banks also need it.
Fifth, there is a steel factory channel in San Jose. It was not easy to build a steel factory in the past, but now there are new ways to make money. 3 Hurry up and get on the bus. There is no such store after passing this village.
Sixth, this is nonsense. What Brazil has, we in Argentina should also have. Brazil’s steel output was more than six times that of Argentina last year, and it is still growing rapidly. Where are the patriots of Argentina? The development of national industry cannot be slowed down.
St. Jose extracted these six core arguments and made various interesting fillings, such as Spring and Autumn brushwork.
After writing until the evening, Saint-Jesse finished writing the speech, and directly engraved the content in his mind to practice it in the field.
Back in the college area, Elena had already left because of something to do, leaving only a faint fragrance in the room.
Natalie came to see him two days ago. He happened to go home with Elena, and she didn't know what happened. Natalie seemed to have moved out of the slum, and she didn't know where her new home was.
Ever since I last advised her not to get married, I don’t know if she listened to her, but their relationship has been tepid.
Rosa went back to Maria Town this morning. She was escorted by people from the Delta, so she felt relieved.
St. Hesse is calm and planning its own affairs seriously. There is not much publicity about the customs tax issue yet. St. Hesse has temporarily turned its attention to the steel plant. There is no rush to lower the customs tax. Public opinion in the early stage should be slow.
Just as St. Jose was preparing to rest, Natalie secretly entered St. Jose's home. She had the key to the house.
"Natalie, why did you come here two days ago?"
"No, it's just that I broke off the engagement with that man. I plan to continue studying. I will take the college entrance examination in February. I don't know what you think, boss."
"Good idea. It would be a good idea to go to college. Which university is it?"
St. Hesse was also a little impressed. People who persist in learning are indeed worthy of praise. He has always admired them.
"National University of La Plata, boss, what do you think?"
Elena's face was blushing, and she looked very cute in a light yellow dress.
"This is a very good university. I'll give you a leave of absence without pay, so you can study hard. You don't need to worry about the affairs of Xin'a Newspaper. If you run out of money, just tell me."
"Well, boss, wouldn't this be bad?"
"It's okay. I'll just tell Andrew. We also have a newspaper branch in La Plata. You can work part-time there. You don't have to worry about living expenses."
"Okay boss, thank you."
Natalie kissed Saint Jose and was as happy as a child. Going to college has been her dream for many years, and now it has finally come true.
The two of them were lying on the bed, not talking, only a faint feeling of warmth.
Saint Jose only has blessings in his heart, and obviously Natalie is also a little genius.
The two were affectionate for a whole night.
…
It is worth noting that Argentina is divided into three major oligarchic groups in terms of economic development. They are the agricultural oligarchs, who are the strongest, the financial oligarchs, who are centrist, and the industrial oligarchs, who are the weakest but have the greatest vitality and potential.
Saint Jose was helpless.
The financial oligarchs are the national banks and securities financial system. They have good relations with the military, the Radical Party, the Bilod Justice Party and any other factions, and they are also divided into various factions internally.
San Jose is essentially an industrial group. In fact, only two parties participated in the establishment of the Argentine Import and Export Association this time, but they were small and medium-sized agricultural and industrial companies. There were no powerful oligarchs participating. They had higher-end circle.
This time I was able to get to know many real people, so that they could also try investing in steel plants and raise funds to invest.
A small blast furnace with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons only costs a few million US dollars. No one is short of money, and there are indeed many rich people in Argentina.
Most of the large steel plants in the future world will be built near the port. The Port of La Plata currently has a big shortcoming, that is, the draft is less than 10 meters, and it can only accommodate giant ships of 10,000 tons. In the future, there will be 50,000 tons and 100,000 tons. Ton, there is still a certain gap for this kind of super giant ship, which can also be solved, such as dredging the submarine channel, killing and so on.
Moreover, the air pollution caused by building a steel plant, and even the need to build a coal coking plant, and even greater air pollution, need to be taken into consideration. Of course, for now, La Plata is still the first choice.
It is too troublesome to build a steel plant in the capital, and the land is not that big. The land for the first phase is enough, and maybe we need to start arranging for land leveling.
In just a few days, word of the wealth conference in San Jose had spread throughout Argentina, and everyone began to head towards Putrajaya to build a new steel plant for the country and plan to take a look.
Internationally, the recovery of Japanese steel has shocked the world.
Japan's steel production is also recovering quickly. Last year, it added 600,000 tons, equivalent to two Argentine steel productions.
Moreover, Japanese steel plants are developing faster and faster, and their technology is becoming more and more advanced.
During World War II, Japanese steel mills were destroyed by bombings, and the annual crude steel output dropped from 7.65 million tons in 1943 to 557,000 tons in 1946. Only four open-hearth furnaces remained viable.
In order to restore Japan's economy, the reconstruction of their steel industry is a top priority. This was a backup plan for the subsequent development of the steel plant in St. Jose, but the investment failed.
It is impossible for Europe to always improve technology for you, but there is an opportunity in Japan. They will be the world's super steel power in the future.
A series of measures implemented by American Dodge in Japan in the past two years are called the "Dodge Plan". The main contents include balancing the fiscal budget, cutting government subsidies, setting a fixed exchange rate of 1 US dollar to 360 yen, etc. The Dodge Plan has successfully It curbed Japan's inflation, but its deflationary effect triggered a severe economic recession.
The Goryeo War was an important reason why Japan and the United States made peace and rushed to sign a treaty. The San Francisco Peace Treaty between the United States and Japan was about to take effect, ending the occupation of Japan by the Allied forces, and this accelerated Japan's recovery.
Among them, Japan's Kawasaki Steel, under the leadership of its first president Yataro Nishiyama, separated from Kawasaki Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in 1950 and is still a very young company.
The No. 1 blast furnace at Kawasaki Steel's Chiba Plant is already under construction. This will be a symbol of Japan's revival.
San Jose plans to learn from the development model of Japan's Chiba plant and issue bonds to finance the new La Plata steel plant, but it must be more conservative.
The target plan is as follows: issue corporate bonds of US$10 million and bank loans of US$20 million.
The self-raised capital is 10 million US dollars, the military blue faction invested 3 million US dollars, and the revolving capital was 5 million US dollars. The total investment was 48 million US dollars to build a steel plant with an annual production capacity of 5 million tons, instead of the original two blast furnaces with a production capacity of 3.5 million tons. .
The most important of them is to use banks to raise huge amounts of financing to build a new steel factory in Linhai. This requires cooperation with Argentina's financial oligarchs and uniting all forces that can be united.
Of course, this is only one of the purposes of the Fortune Conference. Promoting medium-sized steel plants is his purpose, so that Argentine private capital can activate and enter the steel industry!
He calls it investing in steel to embrace the future! This is also the theme of his speech, making Argentines more interested in investing in the steel industry. More than ten steel plants will appear in Argentina in a short period of time, saving Argentina’s unemployment rate, and the La Plata Steel Plant in San Jose can take a large share of it.
