Starting from a bankrupt steel mill, building a materials empire

After solving the coal entry.

Li Xu came to the iron ore feed warehouse again.

There's also an entry refresher hidden here.

Iron is the most commonly used metal in the world, accounting for 95% of all metals used globally each year.

Therefore, iron ore is essential to the steel industry.

Currently, more than 50 countries in the world are mining iron ore.

Among them, the iron ore quality of Australia and selenium is relatively high.

There are 4 most important types of iron ore, which are magnetite, hematite, limonite and siderite.

The best iron ore is, of course, magnetite.

Magnetite is also known as magnetite.

It is a natural magnet.

The iron content is as high as 72.4%.

There are very few impurities.

It is also a favorite high-quality iron ore used in all steel mills.

However, it is mainly found in countries such as Australia and the Americas.

The second is hematite.

It has slightly less iron than magnetite, but is more widely distributed.

It is the most important industrial iron ore.

Then there's limonite, an inferior form of iron ore.

It can't even be called a real mineral.

It is a mixture of water and iron oxide minerals.

This kind of iron ore is widely distributed in the Dragon Kingdom.

The iron ore used by the Anseong Iron and Steel Plant was this low-quality iron ore with low iron content.

Li Xu found the iron ore entry in the system mall.

[Iron content, S grade (greater than or equal to 90%)].

Inferior iron ore after being scanned by the entry refresher.

In no time, it will become the best magnetite.

Impurities are greatly reduced.

Pollution reduction,

The amount of steel produced will also increase dramatically.

The comprehensive cost is more than 2/3 less than that of steel enterprises in the same industry.

"When the time comes, it will definitely crush other steel companies. "

Li Xu is full of confidence.

But.

Li Xu does not plan to produce ordinary steel.

Longguo ranks first in the world in terms of steel production.

However, most of it is rough steel.

Special steel is still mainly dependent on imports.

The price of special steel is more than ten times, or even dozens of times, that of ordinary steel.

Huge profits.

Therefore, Li Xu intends to produce special steel.

And according to the chemical composition is different.

Steel is divided into carbon steel and alloy steel.

Steel with a carbon content of less than 0.25% is carbon steel.

On the basis of carbon steel, one or more alloying elements are deliberately added to improve its properties during smelting, which is alloy steel.

Anseong Iron and Steel Plant, now lacking other alloying elements.

Therefore, Li Xu plans to produce carbon steel for the time being.

Carbon steel has a certain strength and toughness, and it is also widely used.

It can be used to make automobiles, ships, rails, machinery, oilfield derricks, etc.

Li Xu intends to go further.

Even if it's carbon steel,

Get the best too.

Entry refresher at the steel outlet.

Li Xu exchanged his points for the S-grade strength, S-grade rust resistance and S-grade toughness of carbon steel.

It makes up for the weakness of carbon steel's poor strength.

Arguably.

The carbon steel produced is not weaker than the world's top alloy steel.

"Everything is ready to be called in for production. "

Li Xu asked the office to issue a notice.

Starting tomorrow, all employees will return to the factory, and the coal and iron boilers and other equipment will be preheated.

Production officially started the day after tomorrow.

After the notice is issued.

In the group chat of the employees of the factory, everyone talked about it.

"Is it really going to start?".

"It's like a dream. "

"During this time, I was looking for a job everywhere and there was no suitable one, and it would be great if the factory could be opened. "

"Alas, in a small county, we don't have too high a degree and we are old, what good jobs can we find?".

"That's right, even if you go to a hotel to be a waiter, people don't want it. "

"The new director is still thinking about us. "

"Is the environmental protection loose?"

"I haven't heard of it. "

"Let's be mentally prepared, maybe it will start for a day or two, and then it will be closed. "

"Don't, how can you live without a job. "

......

Meanwhile.

In Anseong County, County Magistrate Choi is holding a working meeting.

The principal responsible persons of all departments directly under the county attended as observers.

After a simple pleasantries,

County Magistrate Cui went straight to the point: "Talking about two things today, involving two enterprises. "

"The first thing is the bankruptcy of the Anseong Iron and Steel Plant, which has made a significant contribution to our county and has always been a major taxpayer in our county.

Although very reluctantly,

But there is no room for discussion on environmental issues

They had to shut them down.

But after the shutdown, how to resettle the more than 1,000 employees of the steel plant?

Although they are not employees of state-owned enterprises, if they are not handled well, there will be big problems.

The human resources and social security department must come up with a plan. "

The person in charge of the human resources and social security department said: "County Magistrate Cui, we have been working on the plan, there are two questions that you need to set the tone, as far as we know, they have not received wages for half a year, once the steel plant goes bankrupt, they will definitely make trouble, so the county needs to allocate a part of the funds in advance to appease." "

"Another problem is that our human resources and social security department plans to organize a small job fair to bring together the enterprises in our county that need cleaning workers, stevedores, and express delivery and takeaways, so that they can choose in both directions. "

County Magistrate Cui nodded: "Yes, you are very thoughtful." However, the question of funding ......

".

County Magistrate Cui frowned.

In recent years.

The county's finances are tight.

It's a very hard time.

Even if the salary of the staff is on the staff, sometimes they have to rely on borrowing money to pay it.

"I want to find a way to squeeze out 1 million from other projects and allocate it to you in advance. "

The person in charge of the human resources and social security department breathed a sigh of relief, and it would be easy to do it if he had money.

At this moment, the head of the environmental protection bureau said: "County Magistrate Choi, I have learned a new situation, the Anseong steel plant is not going to go bankrupt, they will start work tomorrow." "
