"I have a piece of materials I just got from the United States, look at it." Sun Yalin took out a few pages of paper from her bag and stuffed them in front of Chen Huai.

Chen Huai took it and saw that the fax file was filled with lists of companies, and asked Sun Yalin: "What is this?"

"This is the list of the top 500 companies in the world that Fortune Magazine plans to rank this year," said Sun Yalin. "Let you see why Japan has become particularly arrogant in the past two years."

After hearing what Sun Yalin said, everyone else was interested; Xiao Haomin sat next to Chen Huai and looked over. Although he had not been exposed to foreign languages ​​for many years, he still had a foundation, but the names of the top four companies on the list. He couldn't understand them at all, and asked: "What kind of companies are these? The English names are so weird..."

"MITSUBISHI is Mitsubishi Commercial, MITSUI is Mitsui Products, ITOCHU is Itochu Commercial, and SUMITOMO is Sumitomo Commercial. These four companies are large Japanese comprehensive trading companies," Xiao Haomin has been staying in Yushan for many years, with information closed and no attention to the world economy and super companies. It is not strange that he does not know the English name of Japanese companies. Chen Huai patiently explained to him, but he briefly browsed the fax documents on the first two pages and sighed, "It seems that Japan has 6 of the 10 largest companies in the world. Is it possible that the Japanese are arrogant?"

The fax file has twenty or thirty pages. Chen Huai did not find Yasuda Commercial in the first two pages. He directly asked Sun Yalin: "How many places are in the Yasuda Consortium rank..."

"Here," Sun Yalin did her homework in advance, turned the fax back two pages, and directly pointed out Chen Huai's ranking of Yasuda Commercial.

"Yamada's total operating income in 1995 was 60 billion, which was equivalent to the total industrial and commercial output value of Huaihai Province," Chen Huai took a breath and sighed, "We are really far behind others."

Everyone sitting around the table knew that the 60 billion yuan that Chen Huai mentioned was US dollars, not RMB. It was frustrating to think that the total output value of industrial merchants in Huaihai Province throughout the year was not even comparable to that of a Japanese company.

Chen Huai threw the materials to Zhou Zhibai, who was sitting opposite him, and smiled and said, "You're under pressure."

Zhou Zhibai smiled bitterly and said, "You really can hit people's hearts. Can I refuse to read this material?"

With the rise of Meigang, Pengyue, Zhujiang Construction, Penghai Trade, etc., the performance in 1995 has been greatly improved - Pengyue's furnace material trade has increased from hundreds to thousands of tons per month to 40,000 tons per month now, and it has made progress almost every moment, and there is a big flyby every once in a while.

Zhou Zhibai expects Pengyue’s total furnace material trade volume this year to reach 800 million, and Pengyue Group will also be among the largest companies with revenue of over 1 billion. In addition to traditional businesses such as trade and hotels, Pengyue has also begun to involve ocean shipping. If it weren’t for the so-called list of Fortune 500 companies, Pengyue’s achievements today are enough to inspire and be proud.

Zhou Zhibai really doesn't want to look at the list of the Fortune 500 in the world to find it. The absolute gap does not mean that if you have ambition, you can make up immediately.

"It's wrong to blindly compare," Yang Haipeng smiled and took the fax paper over with a smile, asking Sun Yalin, "Is there any domestic company that has entered the top 500? By the way, there is also Changqing Group, has it entered the top 500?"

"Yes, China National Grain and Oil Import and Export Corporation, the revenue last year was about $10 billion, and it barely squeezed in, ranking about 480," said Sun Yalin. "Changqing Group's total revenue last year was only $5 billion, which is still far from being on the list. If it does not have the determination to transform its business, Changqing Group will never want to enter the top 500 in this life."

After hearing Sun Yalin's word "talent", Xiao Haomin almost flashed his waist.

Except during his studies, Xiao Haomin lived in Yushan most of his life. In his opinion, not to mention the top 500, even Changqing Group, with an annual revenue of more than 40 billion yuan, is out of reach.

In 1995, the total industrial and agricultural output value of Yushan County was only 3 billion, and the economic scale of an enterprise was equivalent to fifteen or sixteen Yushan counties. In any case, such enterprises need to be looked up to by Xiao Haomin.

How much can Meigang achieve this year's output value, 2 billion or 3 billion? Can Meixi Town's industrial output value exceed 10 billion in the past two years?

In Xiao Haomin's view, if the total industrial output value of Meixi Town can exceed 10 billion in one or two years, it can be said to be an incredible miracle that Donghua has ever experienced - he dare not expect more.

However, if we measure it nationwide, there is only one enterprise in the world with a population of 1.2 billion, and it ranks at the last ten. This is a bit difficult for Xiao Haomin to accept.

Is China really that bad? Is it so backward?

Most of the domestic private enterprises are very weak. Needless to say, what about those large state-owned enterprises?

Like the parent company of Huaineng Group, Southeast Power Construction, which has more than 100,000 employees and even a larger total number of employees, the central ministries and commissions look so unattainable, but they don’t have the strength to enter the top 500 in the world?

"It's all foreign languages. I can still receive some foreign language materials in the city. I have lost them in recent years." Yang Haipeng turned over a few pages of the materials, and asked him to read them in big way, and returned the fax to Shen Huai.

"You have an English foundation, and you go to the UK with Zhou Zhibai twice, and it will be quick to make up for it," Shen Huai took the fax and flipped through a few pages at will before letting Sun Yalin put away the materials and said with a smile, "Actually, we don't have to be too frustrated. These Japanese consortiums are all comprehensive trading companies, which look unparalleled. In fact, they have combined many super-large enterprises to form such a huge scale. Now the country is also considering whether to learn from the Japanese and Korean model and form a central enterprise with the comprehensive trading company model.

To do this, like the Ministry of Electric Power, combines the main power assets under its jurisdiction, form one or two super-large enterprises, and squeezes into the top 500 in terms of asset scale, it is still no problem. If we dismember the Japanese consortium like a giant and analyze it, we will look for the target we should focus on. Fuji iron, which produces 16 million tons of steel annually, is not as far away as we imagined. Of course, our next goal is to ride the steel under the squad..."

"Yes, it's easy to be frustrated when thinking too much. Mei Gang's next goal is to push Shenggang under the stride and struggle," Yang Haipeng is now broad-minded and fat. He took Shen Huai's words and said with a smile, "It's already inspiring to think that this goal can be achieved."

"Meigang's next goal is to directly surpass Shenggang?" Xiao Haomin asked in surprise, "County Magistrate Chen said he would leave Yushan in the near future. It turned out that he was just leaving Yushan, not Donghua..."

"Whether you will leave Donghua, it's still uncertain," Chen Huai shook his head and said, "It's also possible that some people don't want me to stay in Donghua, so I can only leave Donghua."

Listening to Chen Huai's words was like a puzzle. Xiao Haomin was confused, but he was inconvenient to ask. He knew that what he heard now could be said to be the core secret of the Meigang System. If he hadn't made up his mind and willing to give up his position as mayor of Dongyu Town and serve as the head of the government office in the county, he would not have the opportunity to sit with everyone in the Meigang System.

But Xiao Haomin thought in his heart, how could Meigang press down on Shenggang next?

After the Provincial Steel Group and Municipal Steel Group formed the Municipal Steel Group, it proposed to jointly build a large-scale electric furnace steel project with Changqing Group and Fuji Iron Manufacturing, and the output value may directly exceed the threshold of 10 billion.

How can Meigang surpass the steel-saving?

Chen Huai did not explain Xiao Haomin's doubts in detail, so he turned his head and asked Sun Yalin: "Hu Shuwei took the expert team to Jihe County to confirm all the relevant materials. Even if the driving force behind it is not considered, from the national energy layout, the project of Shanxi Coal East Exit South Line will be launched sooner or later. It is appropriate for Huaieng to invest in the construction of a coal transfer terminal in Jihe River now. I want to stay in the party school to attend training classes and sign a framework agreement with Jihe County. More heavyweights need to support the scene. Are you going with your sister-in-law and Hu Shuwei and others?"

Chen Huai is not sure that he can continue to stay in Donghua now, but the situation is already like this, and some steps must be continued.

"I didn't even take a break when I returned to Meixi," Sun Yalin said with a frown. "Building a coal transfer terminal on the Jihe River is also dominated by Huaineng. I used to be a foil. What kind of heavyweight is it?"

"You'd better go there. We should put out the big straits to the north first, otherwise we won't be fooled,"

Chen Huai said this, but he couldn't help but hold his hands on the edge of the table and said to Zhou Zhibai, Chu Yiliang and the others:

"There is no turning back when you open the bow. If you really can't stay in Donghua, then Jihe will become our main battlefield. Zhibai, Haipeng, Lao Zhu, Lao Feng, you all went there this time and contacted people from Jihe. Even if we can get what we want, Jihe still has some advantageous resources to invest and cooperate. Your horizons should be more relaxed. Even if we have a long time in the future, the focus will be on Donghua, but it doesn't mean that we can't try to go out first. I will call him to watch him."

Zhu Yiliang, Zhu Li, Zhou Zhibai and others nodded and agreed, and they went to Jihe together this time.

Chen Huai looked at his watch and saw that it was already very late, and said, "Then let's do it today. I will have to call Ji Chengxi later."

Chen Huai said this, everyone got up and left the seat and left Shangxi Garden; Chen Huai went to Chen Dan's office, called Ji Chengxi, and told him the specific arrangements for the personnel who went to Jihe County to participate in economic and trade negotiations.

The focus of Huaineng Group's future business development is the energy market dominated by thermal power generation. The industrial chain extends upstream, which naturally involves the development, trade and transportation links of coal - it is just limited funds, how to balance the use.

After returning to China, Chen Huai went south from Yanjing and intercepted Ji Chengxi halfway. He talked about the Shanxi coal eastward exit south line project and the development of Jihe County's own port-side industry for several days.

Leaving Jihe County, Chen Huai went directly to Jiangning, looking for his younger sister-in-law Song Wenhui, and the senior executives of Dongdian, and talking about investing in the construction of a coal-fired transfer terminal in Jihe County.

Huaineng Group is still very weak for the time being, and its business is directly guided by Dongdian, and its power is not strong. However, with Song Wenhui's promotion, Dongdian did not delay and directly sent people to Jihe River to contact and inspect. It is planned that Huaineng, together with Zhongxin Investment, Zhujiang Investment, Hongji Investment and other institutions, will invest in the construction of a coal yard and two 10,000-ton seaport terminals in Jihe River.

After the construction of the relevant projects is completed, it will be connected to the port transfer through road transport, providing 4 million tons of coal-fired to the power plants under Huaineng Group every year, and will also become an integral part of the future Shanxi Coal East Exit South Line project.

The entire investment, including the acquisition of the thermal power plant in Jihe Province, is planned to cost 300 million yuan.

After officially signing the framework agreement with Jihe County, the relevant news will be announced to the public.
