Chapter 454: Building a new port

The predecessor of Zhongchang Group was founded by producing small commodities and wholesales from abroad. It was unfamiliar with large-scale infrastructure construction, heavy machinery procurement and international logistics industry. Without Zhongxing International's support, Rong Mingyou would never dare to invest huge amounts of money to buy Australian iron mines. So when he learned about the good things Rong Xinyou did, he personally condescended the nobles and brought Rong Xinyou to the door to apologize, but he was still afraid that the cooperation between the two sides would change. Now it seems that Yang Xing didn't mind, so he let go of his courage to express his ideas to Yang Xing and Pan.

After listening to his idea, Yang Rongguang realized that his son didn't come to him to reassure Rong Mingyou. The negotiations between the two did have a lot to do with him. At that time, Yang Rongguang gave up the position of Star Manufacturing President, which was within his reach, and gave it to Soichiro Fujino, but it did not mean that his influence in Star Manufacturing has declined.

He was supported by his son in technology and management, and through self-learning, he made great efforts in the Huaxia Jiudu Construction Machinery Factory where he worked. With the help of professional managers, he changed his name to Xinghao Heavy Industry University and has become the largest and highest output value under Xingchen Manufacturing Group. He is a leader in the national heavy industry. Not long ago, he successfully entered the Frankfurt stock market in Germany in the overseas listing craze of "all the worlds destroyed". Yang Rongguang is now the president of a well-known international enterprise.

Xinghao Heavy Industry's main business is large-scale engineering construction machinery. In the world's heavy industry field, due to its technological content and huge investment, products from a few countries such as Germany, the United States, Japan, and South Korea have almost monopolized the world market. In recent years, due to the booming world economy, large-scale international infrastructure projects have flourished, and the large-scale engineering machines used for construction have always been in the buyer's market. Xinghao Heavy Industry, led by Yang Rongguang, has developed many engineering machinery with Chinese characteristics, such as the mobile concrete mixing station with the largest horsepower in the world, and the crane with the longest boom. It shines at last year's Zhongxing International World Conference, which greatly boosted his son's face.

As a new force in the market, Xinghao Heavy Industry has not fallen behind in international competition, and its profits have always rankled as the majority of Xingchen Manufacturing Group, and even Xingtian Power's automobile projects cannot be compared. Rong Mingyou's plan to find Yang Xing this time is to purchase a batch of mining machinery and machinery for the development and use of Australian iron mines. In addition, it is also necessary to transport a large amount of iron ore from the deserts of the rarely visited western Australia. It also requires a large number of heavy trucks, engineering support vehicles for roads and railways, as well as port and port transportation equipment, etc. It can be said that it basically includes Xingchen Manufacturing's product catalog, especially Xinghao Heavy Industry's products are urgently needed.

In addition to building mines, Rong Mingyou also put forward a bolder idea. Since they have upstream iron ore, why not take advantage of the opportunity of domestic relaxation of private enterprises entering the country's basic industries and choose a location to build a new port in China? You should know that a country's port resources are strategic scarce resources. Power plants, steel plants, shipyards, and other large factories and mines built around the port have turned the port into a complete industrial production and sales base, so that iron ore can be converted into terminal products on the spot, which not only improves production efficiency but also greatly saves transportation costs. The products manufactured are resold abroad. This port is a treasure pot that can provide wealth for decades.

This is not a new idea. Why did this country with extremely scarce resources fully recover and grow into the world's second largest economy in decades after World War II? It is closely related to this method of greatly reducing transportation costs and fully improving production efficiency. Yang Xing once showed Kan Dongtian, the famous satellite image of the Ishikawa Island Soda Production Center to Kan Dongtian, which showed that iron ore was transported from the eastern part of the Ishikawa Island. After steelmaking, steel rolling, cutting, processing, assembly and other processes, a 10,000 tons of ship can be directly driven out from the western part of the island, with almost no warehouses in the middle, and logistics costs were compressed to the extreme. In addition to the supporting facilities such as water, electricity, and gas surrounding the entire port factory, the entire Ishikawa Island is a terrible complete machine island.

After hearing Rong Mingyou's explanation, Yang Xing was moved and thought that the hero had the same view. He had long intended to build a large industrial terminal along the coast that completely serves the group's manufacturing industry. At that time, he set up five major industrial parks in China, to learn from the example of manufacturing enterprises, reduce the loss in the production link and reduce logistics costs. Four of the six major industrial parks in the group that have been in the prototype are located by the sea. The terminals from Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong from north to south have indeed contributed to the flattening of the group's production and sales network and greatly reducing the intermediate links.

However, these four major ports are old ports that have been developed and mature, and their daily shipments are basically saturated. Zhongxing International's companies need to compete with many other companies for dock berths and often need to wait in line, which has become a major bottleneck that restricts the cost of enterprises. Recently, Xinghai Trading Group proposed to Yang Xing that instead of being a phoenix tail in many domestic ports, it is better to build a new port to be a chicken head.

China has a long coastline and countless places with the potential to build deep-water ports. Why doesn’t the group simply build a port that belongs entirely to its own? You should know that Li Ka-shing can become the richest Chinese. In addition to the real estate industry, the Yangtze River Group has the right to operate more than a dozen ports all over the world.

Now, the Hong Kong joint venture transportation company jointly established by Xinghai Trading, Cheung Kong Group and Oriental Shipping, the Chief Executive's family, has been on track, and the desire to have a group port in China is of course becoming stronger and stronger. Now when Rong Mingyou said the suggestion that he was similar to his own company, Yang Xing and Yang Rongguang exchanged tacit eyes and laughed.

The two sides hit it off, and Rong Mingyou wanted to help his son Rong Xinyou away. After all, this involved major strategic decisions from the two families. He did not think that Yang Xing would be so generous that he had just caused trouble for him to talk about such a big thing.

"Since Uncle Rong is willing to spend such a big deal, I, as a junior, have no objection. I would like to ask, Uncle Rong thinks who is better to host the Australian mine?" Yang Xing suddenly interrupted. Rong Mingyou was stunned. Everyone had a very harmonious conversation just now. Of course, Yang Xing could not hold an air in front of his father. Rong Mingyou is much older than Yang Rongguang, so Yang Xing always called him "Uncle Rong". But now he didn't mean respect in his tone, but stared at the back of Rong Xinyou who was about to leave Rong Xinyou. Rong Mingyou is also a talented person, and he couldn't hear Yang Xing's meaning. Only then did he know that although Yang Xing didn't care about Rong Xinyou's actions just now, this sentence is to make him punish his son.

Rong Xinyou was full of bitterness when he heard it. Yang Xing's words meant to send him to the Australian desert to develop iron ore! As a member of the family, he naturally saw the rarely-petitive mine from the Zhongchang Group. The surrounding area was desolate, with only kangaroos jumping. Now the iron ore has just been developed. There is extremely shortage of personnel, equipment and logistics materials. Being sent there is no different from exiled prisoners. After the mine really starts to operate at least a few years, will he stay in that natural prison and isolate from the world? Yang Xing's move is indeed cruel.

He has always been fearless and relied on his father's favorite son that he launched a brazen attack regardless of the relationship between his family and Yang Xing, but now he is really scared when he hears this. He looks begging for the first time in his eyes that are begging.

Rong Mingyou also hesitated for a while, and was about to plead for Rong Xinyou. "Uncle Rong, the iron mine in Australia is the basis of our cooperation, so the candidates must be cautious." At this moment, Yang Xing's voice sounded in his ears, and his heart trembled. He remembered that if his idea was approved by Yang Xing, the China-Chang Group would have to put all its future on the construction of Xingang. The gap in strength between the two determines that Zhongxing International must be the leader of this cooperation. Between the most important collaborator and his son, he could only sacrifice his son. Rong Xinyou did too much this time. Since he offended him first, he was accused of the thorn again. Yang Xing's thorn made his heart hurt!

"I want to send him over. Young people are passionate and impulsive. They like to do things recklessly. They are both advantages and disadvantages. If you try harder outside for a while, you will not be so impulsive in the future." Rong Mingyou, who figured this out, pointed at Rong Xinyou and said lightly. Rong Xinyou's face suddenly turned like a dirt, knowing that his fate has been completely finalized. Judging from his father's tone, if he doesn't do anything in Australia, he is afraid that his status in the family will decline. He can only nod and leave silently.

Yang Rongguang felt a little reluctant to see it. He was about to speak, but Yang Xing stopped him with his eyes. In addition to his dislike of being plotted against others, Yang Xing also wanted a potential opponent to send a clear warning signal. As his business grew bigger and bigger, his enemies naturally became more and more, and many people did not like Yang Xing's rise like a comet.

As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows, but Yang Xing is now a big family and has become a wealthy person invisibly. In recent years, the number of people who covet Zhongxing International has increased. Indeed, legitimate means are not enough, so he naturally wants to play some evil ways. If he does not use Thunderbolt to shock Rong Xinyou and the others this time, he will probably have more hungry wolves pounced on him. So at the gates of Nanjing and CCTV, he completely suppressed the arrogance of the second generation of Beijing officials, which was to send a clear message, "Don't mess with me, if I mess with me, I must be prepared to be ruined."

Now his anger has been relieved, and the largest anti-Yangxing alliance collapsed and they were all cleaned up. Yang Xing ignored Rong Mingyou's resentful eyes and turned to the site selection of the new port, and ordered his secretary Yu Ge to spread a map of China on the coffee table and carefully observe the Chinese coastline.
