Entering ninety-seven, everything will be fine.

Chen Lichun didn't feel it at all. Afterward, he lamented that this year is a bit difficult...

First, domestic steel prices began to fall.

In 1996, China's steel production exceeded 100 million tons, becoming a major steel country and ranking first in the world.

However, since the beginning of 1997, steel resources have basically been in a state of oversupply, social demand has been sluggish, and the steel market has been thin.

At the beginning of January, according to the quotations of dozens of domestic steel companies on the Steel Association website, the ton price of rebar dropped by 15 yuan compared with last month, the price of hot sheet dropped by 23 yuan, and the cold sheet dropped by 33 yuan. The biggest drop was for tinplate.

It dropped by 188 yuan.

The price of high-strength ship plate steel produced by Donghua Iron and Steel has also dropped from 4050 yuan to 3950 yuan.

Secondly, steel imports have been restricted. According to statistics from relevant departments, Maoxiong exported 5.03 million tons of steel to China in 1996, accounting for 30.3% of my country's imports that year.

There are many proofs that Mao Xiong is dumping steel, and some companies and departments have proposed to initiate anti-dumping against Mao Xiong.

Although the amount of steel imported to China by Donghua Far East Steel Plant is not large and it is special steel, it has also been affected.

Fortunately, the prices in the international steel market have not fluctuated much and have increased slightly.

Chinese officials are encouraging steel companies to export and providing support in terms of export tax rebates.

Chen Lichun had no choice but to adjust the production rhythm of the two companies and unanimously expand overseas markets.

He also suggested to Luo Hao to speed up the preparations for the establishment of Donghua Ocean Company.

Sun Xuyou hooked up with Hao Yueming and began to travel to Mao Xiong, Taiyang, Sam and other countries to find partners, establish purchase and sales relationships, and stabilize transportation channels.

The third thing is: something big happened.

On the morning of January 10, a group of law enforcement officers came to Donghua Steel Plant, took away a batch of steel samples, sealed the warehouse and workshop, and took away Yin Fumao.

This movement is really quite big.

The legal person of Donghua Steel Blue City Co., Ltd. has been changed to Yin Fumao. Yin Fumao had no idea why and was taken to the city in a daze.

Chen Lichun was also at the scene and wanted to stop the law enforcement officers to tell them about the situation, but they were cold and rude and refused to explain. Chen Lidong was pushed aside.

Chen Lichun was convinced that there was no problem with his products, but he still arranged for the laboratory to test all products of all brands in the factory.

The result is: there is really no problem, all the inspection items of various grades of steel meet the standards.

As the Minister of Strategy and the person in charge of crisis management, Wang Jiayin's face turned pale with fright, thinking that a quality accident had really occurred and she didn't know how to deal with the next thing.

Chen Lichun kept his door closed and immediately informed his younger brother of the situation so that he could understand the situation.

Fortunately, Chen Lidong had been operating in Blue City for the past two years and had some connections. He got preliminary information half an hour later: it was a machinery factory that made hydraulic cylinders in Quancheng, Shandong Province, that reported that the steel products produced by Donghua Steel were fake, and the inspectors came from Shandong Province.

The law enforcement brigade of the Provincial General Administration of Quality Supervision and Quality Supervision, and the Lan City Quality Supervision Bureau cooperated in law enforcement.

After receiving the feedback, Chen Lichun gave an order: Check.

After checking how this batch of steel was sold to Quancheng, Chen Lichun still had a question: whether the steel in question was produced by Donghua.

Wang Jiaqi of the Ministry of Justice took action, and the steel plant stopped working, resulting in huge losses; the legal person was arrested for unknown reasons, and the law enforcement department closed the factory and warehouse without obtaining sufficient evidence, and took away the legal person, suspected of violating law enforcement.

If there is no solid evidence, Wang Jiaqi is prepared to file an administrative lawsuit and "people sue the officials."

Sun Xuyou was still abroad, but relevant people from the marketing department were investigating all night, checking information one by one. The intelligence compiled the next morning was:

Donghua did sell a batch of steel to Quancheng. The steel grade of this batch was q345b, totaling 500 tons, and the price was 3,200 yuan per ton.

This kind of steel can indeed be used to make hydraulic parts, but why did law enforcement officials from other provinces believe that Donghua was fake?

On the 10th, Donghua people spent their time in torment. The law enforcement agency’s testing and investigation results were not reported to the company.

Chen Lidong has already sent Shen Xing away, and has agreed with Shen Xing to arrange the construction of a ceramic cutting tool laboratory before the Spring Festival. Shen Xing recommends several scientific researchers to Donghua. The specific salary and benefits will be agreed separately.

Shen Xing's arrival is a big and happy event for Donghua, but the news can only be postponed.

At this time, the quality incident was like a dark cloud, leaving Donghua people breathless.

On the morning of the 11th, the Blue City Evening News published the quality incident of Donghua Steel:

"False! Shandong Quality Supervision has launched cross-provincial inspections, and Donghua Iron and Steel has fallen into a quality quagmire!"

“This newspaper reported (correspondent Li Yong) that in order to obtain illegal profits, Donghua Iron and Steel fabricated index data for its own products and passed them off as inferior, and was investigated and punished by the General Administration of Quality Supervision of Shandong Province.

Yesterday, Donghua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., a private steel company in our city, was investigated and dealt with by the Shandong Provincial General Administration of Quality Supervision.

It is understood that the workshops and warehouses of Donghua Steel Plant have been sealed by law enforcement agencies, and Donghua employees have begun to go home to wait for work.

Donghua Steel is a new steel enterprise in our city, affiliated to Donghua Industrial Group Co., Ltd. This company was put into production in July last year. Its main products are wire rods, threads, plates and other various steel products.

It is reported that this batch of steel from Donghua Steel was used by a machinery company in Quancheng, Shandong Province. In November last year, this company used certain high-strength structural steel produced by Donghua Steel, processed it into load-bearing cylinders, and sold them to a hydraulic company in southern Gansu. company.

At the end of December, the load-bearing cylinders produced by this hydraulic company experienced quality problems such as fractures. After the two companies communicated the situation, they sent the batch of steel to the Shandong Provincial Commodity Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute for inspection and appraisal. After inspection, the materials were sent for inspection. All the inspected items failed, and the two companies reported the relevant situation to the law enforcement team of the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau.

In order to crack down on illegal activities, the Inspection and Law Enforcement Brigade of the General Bureau of Quality Supervision of Shandong Province conducted a joint case investigation with the cooperation of the quality supervision department of our city, and the scene mentioned above in this article occurred.

Donghua Group has always advocated revitalizing industry and serving the country with industry, but behind the scenes it has been engaging in quality fraud and passing off substandard products as good ones.

Steel is the food of industry and the cornerstone of economic development.

We not only have to ask: Do you dare to use such steel? Does Donghua Steel Factory only fake plates? Where are their products sold and where are they used?

This newspaper will continue to pay attention to the subsequent developments of the incident."

Chen Lidong got the newspaper and read the entire report word for word. He couldn't help but applaud the reporter's writing style!

The last three questions are so sharp!

Do you dare to use it?

Where to sell?

Where is it used?

Thunder shook the sky!

Anyone who uses Donghua's steel is deliberately using fake products, and the products they make are shoddy!

This is the rhythm that will shut down Donghua Steel!

Wang Jiayin quickly contacted the newspaper. The person in charge of the newspaper's advertising department hesitated and said that the article must have been reviewed by the editor, otherwise it would not be published.

Zhou Wenliang contacted Li Yong privately, and the two were good friends.

Li Yong told Zhou Wenliang: "Brother, I am just like you before. The editor gave me the materials and asked me to revise them.

I adjusted the structure of the material, straightened out the logic, polished the rhetoric, and submitted it.

When I sent it out, I saw that my name was on it, but the content had been changed a lot, as if I had a grudge against Donghua.

Brother, please explain it to me, I don’t want to offend anyone for no reason.”

Luo Hao is also contacting relevant departments. He feels that the progress of the case seems to be covered up by someone and no new information has been disclosed.

Then the marketing department reported back: The steel dealer in Quancheng lost contact, and the manager’s phone was turned off; some customers called to verify the situation and asked for our steel inspection reports.

On the afternoon of the 11th, Wang Qing sent a message back: "There is no problem with your steel sampling and testing. The people from Shandong Province have left. The case requires further investigation and processing."

Chen Lidong said: "Boss, what should we do in our factory? When will Mr. Yin come out?"

If production is stopped for one day, three to four thousand tons of steel will be lost, which is an output value of tens of millions.

We can't stand your government's delay!"

Chen Lidong said eagerly.

"Xiao Chen, the seizure of the factory is an inter-provincial law enforced by the Lu Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau. The city is also very angry. We have sent a letter to the Provincial General Administration of Quality Supervision, asking the Lu Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau to explain the situation.

I suggest that you file an administrative review with the Shandong Provincial General Administration of Quality Supervision as soon as possible and use legal means to get justice."

"Okay..."

Chen Lidong continued to say some aggrieved words and hung up the phone.

After sitting in the office for half an hour, Chen Lidong called to Andemeng: Let's go to Lu Province.

At home, Chen Lichun wanted to tear up the seal and forcefully resume production after hearing that the test results were OK.

Chen Lidong said on the phone: Don't move, wait for my news.

Next, Chen Lidong informed Wang Jiaqi and Zhou Wenliang went to Shandong together.

Wang Jiayin was also informed to be prepared. If the grievances are discovered, she must fight back:

There is no quality problem at Donghua Steel, but the Lu Provincial Quality Supervision Supervision Bureau is suspected of violating the law, complaining, and calling out injustice, thereby exaggerating the incident.

............

At this time, transportation was not developed yet, so it would take six or seven hours to get to Quancheng.

After arriving in Quancheng on the 12th, Wang Jiaqi and others prepared complaint materials.

In the evening, Chen Lidong took Edmund and Wu Weiguo, the salesman in charge of the Shandong Province area, to go to the steel distribution company to verify the situation.

The name of this company is Dingsheng Steel Trading Co., Ltd. It is located in Quancheng High-tech Zone. It takes about 10 kilometers from the city via Century Avenue to reach the outside of the company.

Wu Weiguo stepped forward and knocked on the door. Two minutes later, the door opened. The person who opened the door should be the security guard on duty, wearing a cotton coat and wearing cotton shoes.
