Chapter 408: The Dilemma of AFC Cement

The smog was heavy, Qin Yafei got out of the car wearing a mask, and walked a few steps quickly. Lun Zhifeng, the president of Afei Cement, who was already waiting at the door, met Qin Yafei and entered the building behind him.

After entering the building and taking off the mask, Qin Yafei coughed desperately for a long time, almost coughing up his throat.

Lun Zhifeng gently patted him on the back, and said angrily, "I've said it before, I wish I could attend this meeting, why do you bother in this smoggy day..."

Although Lun Zhifeng is a very masculine name, the president of Afei Cement is actually an out-and-out woman in her forties, with a pretty face and a plump figure. Looks very professional.

As Qin Yafei's struggling partner when he first started, Lun Zhifeng has been following Qin Yafei over the years and is his most important supporter in the board of directors and company decision-making.

The relationship between the two is like partners, like brothers and sisters, whether there is a deeper relationship, then I don't know.

"How could I not come..." Qin Yafei shook his head, his nose and tears came down from coughing, and he looked very embarrassed.

Qin Yafei also joined the army when he was young, and suffered a chest injury. Since then, his life has been very difficult every winter.

And today's meeting is the Qingyang city anti-smog dispatch meeting. Throughout China, the main theme of every winter is basically anti-smog. Various smog tricks are coming, and many cities have been interviewed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

The air quality in the past two days has been extremely poor, and the pressure in the city has been particularly high. Since the beginning of winter this year, the air quality of Qingyang City has been in the bottom five consecutive times, and many times it has directly ranked at the bottom. Qingyang City is not as good as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and air pollution. has been far exceeded.

The so-called smog-fighting dispatch meeting is actually mainly to inform the companies when to suspend work.

And at this meeting, Qin Yafei intends to fight for the interests of his company. If he can raise the target a little, maybe one winter, the cement plant can be opened for ten more days.

The cement industry is a heavily polluting industry. As long as it starts working, there will be pollution, but if it doesn't start working, how will the factory operate? What do workers eat?

If everyone stopped making cement, it would be impossible.

Qin Yafei is actually a very responsible person. Under his leadership, Afei Cement has upgraded its industry many times. The current production lines are already very advanced, and most of them have been relocated to relatively remote places, and even began to transfer to other countries, but like Cement, an industry with low added value and large-scale production, needs to be completely upgraded or transferred. It will take several years or even ten years.

With the recent decline in cement prices, from the high point in January 2014, it has only been a year since the price of cement has dropped by a quarter, and the ensuing reduction in benefits, stock prices, investment, etc. The cascading effect broke the capital chain of Afei Cement, which was basically maintained by blood transfusions from the head office, and industrial upgrading became empty talk.

On the contrary, the output of cement in the entire market has been increasing all the way, and the prices of raw materials are on the contrary. The construction boom some time ago has brought countless capitals into this market, and now it is hardening in the cold winter. Let's see who can last till the end.

Of course, under such circumstances, some capital is also betting and wants to buy the bottom. For example, after the merger, the giants of the international cement industry started another round of acquisitions, and Afei Cement was also quoted.

But Qin Yafei was not willing to sell.

Not to mention that Afei Cement is his foundation, but emotionally, he can't accept it.

Lun Zhifeng took out a handkerchief and wiped Qin Yafei's face, and a strange voice came from beside him: "Mr. Qin and Mr. Lun are still so affectionate. I really envy others."

Qin Yafei followed that gaze and saw Su Zhanxi and Wang Xi standing not far away with a cane.

Lun Zhifeng's face blushed quietly, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He took a step back and stood behind Qin Yafei.

At this time, the man should come forward.

"It seems that Mr. Wang's legs are almost in good condition." Qin Yafei laughed.

Wang Xi's complexion suddenly changed, this bastard, which pot can't be opened and which pot can't be lifted!

Today he was leaning on a cane, and others praised him as a British gentleman, but at this moment he was ruthlessly exposed.

In fact, not many people know about Wang Xi's broken leg, but Qin Yafei does know about Lao Qi, about everything before, Nanming once disclosed to him, which also made him feel for a long time, and there is something in his heart. sad.

In any case, Mr. Qi used to be his comrade-in-arms, and it was embarrassing to end up like this.

Qin Yafei and Wang Xi, the two richest men in Qingyang City, stood not far from the entrance, blocking the road and attracting many people to watch.

In fact, the so-called richest man is mostly a false name. To Qin Yafei, he didn't really pay much attention to it. However, the change of ownership of the richest man represents the decline of various industries behind the Yafei Group.

Before, the two companies actually had a good cooperation. Afei Cement used to be the supplier of Xihe Company, providing various cements for infrastructure. Later, the industries of the two parties gradually intersected and set foot in each other's fields. A good cooperative relationship becomes fragile.

Just some time ago, Su Zhanxihe terminated the purchase contract of Afei Cement, which is tantamount to worsening the situation for Afei Cement.

It was also during that time that Wang Xi surpassed Qin Yafei and became the richest man in Qingyang.

In this way, the two of them became enemies, and all kinds of inside and outside stories were also very topical.

There are more conflicts, and the personal relationship between two people will naturally become worse.

"Mr. Wang, hello, hello." Just as the two of them stared wide-eyed, the person in charge of the meeting came out and shook hands with Wang Xi first. Wang Xi glanced at Qin Yafei proudly, Clutching the person in charge's hand, he exchanged greetings desperately, trying not to let him free up his hand to receive Qin Yafei.

If it was the past, when Qin Yafei and Wang Xi were standing here, they would have come to talk to Qin Yafei first, but now Wang Xi is already the first brother in Qingyang City, so he doesn't need to look at anyone's face.

Such a feeling, what a cool word.

"The villain is successful, what kind of shit luck is this kind of person..." Lun Zhifeng stomped his feet. This woman with a heroic name and a magnificent work style rarely showed such a feminine charm.

Qin Yafei laughed and said, "Success or failure has nothing to do with character."

Even in the business world, people with poor character may be more likely to succeed, especially when the market mechanism is not perfect.

Qin Yafei waved to the person in charge, signaling that he should be left alone, and walked into the venue with Lun Zhifeng one after the other.

I found the corresponding seat, sat down, and looked left and right. The people who came to the meeting this time were all big polluters. Everyone knew that this was actually a bloodletting competition. They all had bad expressions. They greeted each other and smiled. If you don't laugh or force a smile, you don't have any intention of talking.

However, there are still a few people gathered around Qin Yafei, all of whom are regulars of the Lanshen Club, discussing countermeasures in a low voice, and will advance and retreat together later. (To be continued.)
