The drizzle was drizzling outside the window. Tan Qiping stood in front of the window, looking outside at the courtyard lights illuminating the dim rainy night, feeling upset.

On the desk behind him, there were two reports, one was the conclusion report on the 12.9 explosion accident investigation of the Municipal Steel Group given by the Provincial Production Safety Expert Group, and the other was the survey report on the production and operation of the Municipal Steel Group.

When exploring the cause of the accident, the final conclusion is nothing more than "the accident occurs due to irregular production processes, errors, inadequate management, etc.". At present, even if the accident is held accountable and to what extent, the city can still control the situation.

The key issue is how to rectify the production and operation of the city steel in the future, and how to eliminate the impact of the 12.9 explosion accident on the city steel, so as not to let the bleak situation of the city steel affect the overall situation of the party, government and economic work in the city. This is what Tan Qiping is currently having a headache.

Although Liang Xiaolin and others were unwilling to expose the lid of Shigang at this time, some people did not want to take the blame for Shigang. For example, Han Shouchun, deputy director of the Municipal Planning Commission who was ordered to serve as the general manager of Shigang in the face of danger, was unwilling to take the blame for this.

If the city steel can barely maintain the steel production, maintain the annual output of 600,000 tons, and maintain the annual inflow and outflow of tens of billions of funds, then the city steel is undoubtedly the most abundant oil and water in Donghua at present. But if the city steel cannot even pay the wages of workers and cannot even maintain normal production and operation, if the problem is not revealed at this time, it is hard to say who will fall on this blame in a few months.

How could Han Shouchun be willing to scapegoat for others?

The explosion accident in 12.9 was almost fatal to the city steel.

Paying nearly three million in compensation to the twelve workers who died in the accident, and even the explosion accident caused direct losses of tens of millions of yuan to the heavy machinery casting workshop of the city steel, is second to the point.

Originally, Zhujiang Hydropower's rotating machine casting project was a large order received by Shigang in the second half of the year. Even if the workers can be paid timely wage bonuses at the end of the year, the entire factory is counting on this project.

At this time, Shigang had a big problem with this project. Zhujiang Hydropower was killed in the 12.9 explosion accident because two female supervisors were killed. Not only did they interrupt the previous cooperation agreement with Shigang, they would not pay for the previous delivery of castings, but they even had to recover liquidated damages and high compensation from Shigang.

12.9 The explosion accident will cause direct and indirect losses to the municipal steel industry, which will likely exceed 40 million.

For Shigang Group, which has long relied on demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall and barely maintaining operations, such a huge loss will directly push it to the brink of financial collapse.

In the two accidents, the province ordered the city's steel industry to suspend production and rectify completely. The rectification did not meet the requirements and it was strictly prohibited to resume production.

Production cannot be sustained and cannot be continuously supplied to downstream enterprises, which also involves default.

Downstream companies may not be able to recover the compensation for breach of contract from Shigang, but if Shigang stays in the downstream companies, don’t think that they can easily recover the payment, as it will inevitably become a bad debt that cannot be clearly understood.

Although the city steel has stopped production and rectified, upstream enterprises that supply iron ore sand, scrap steel, coal and electricity to the city steel will not stop pursuing the previously delivered payments from the city steel. By the end of the year, this kind of debt contradiction will intensify, and the debt crisis of the city forging factory last year was the previous example.

At this time, the total amount of loans and interest arrears from various banks in the province on the surface was as high as 600 million yuan.

The principal of these loans can be temporarily not returned, but the interest will not be paid when it expires. The banks are not all vegetarians. Not to mention that they will refuse to provide funds for Shigang to maintain operation, it is not unimaginable that Shigang's capital accounts in various banks will be directly frozen and the small amount of working capital left in Shigang will be transferred away directly.

It is already mid-December, and there are about ten days left, which is the year-end fiscal quarter settlement date. The city steel will repay the short-term debts and interest due to each bank, with a total of up to 90 million.

Shigang currently has only more than 20 million yuan in production turnover, and some debt receivables are available. However, the current situation of triangular bonds in China is bad, and there are debts outside, but it does not mean that the money can be recovered in time.

Even if the deeper problems behind them have not been fully exposed, under the current multiple blows, the steel market is already shaking and almost unable to hold on.

The resignation of Gu Tong and the control of Zhou Jian and others by Jingfang made the existing management of the city steel unable to rectify the work with peace of mind, while ordinary workers were even more panicked and could not see where the way out.

In this case, Han Shouchun refused to decisively expose the problem, and waited for three to five months until it was delayed, and the problem of Shigang always broke out. It would not be so easy for him to clear his responsibilities at that time.

Han Shouchun's conclusion at the end of the report is also very simple. To make Shigang survive this crisis, it will cost money. Shigang must be able to obtain 200 million yuan in supplementary funds by the end of the year, so this crisis can be overcome relatively easily.

******************* The raindrops hit the windowsill, and the rain foam splashed into the house. He hit Tan Qiping, but he didn't feel it.

Tan Qiping turned around and looked at Liang Xiaolin who was sitting on the sofa silently for a long time without saying a word, without asking anything.

He couldn't help but curse Han Shouchun. Indeed, without funds, it would be difficult for anyone to support the situation in Shigang.

Tan Qiping has two problems at present. One is where to raise the funds, and the other is how to supplement the funds to Shigang. How to ensure that Shigang's production can return to normal tracks, rather than swallowing the bottomless pit of Shigang.

"Can the Credit Union withdraw funds by the end of the year? It's too much for 200 million yuan to open the door. Can the Credit Union withdraw 20 to 30 million yuan to respond to the emergency?" Tan Qiping walked to the back of the desk and sat down. Now he always had to bite the bullet and find a way to solve the problem.

Of course, Tan Qiping could push all the problems to the government, but completely push them to the government. Gao Tianhe is not a vegetarian, so he will inevitably push all the problems and responsibilities to Liang Xiaolin, the executive vice mayor in charge of industry, finance, and production safety as much as possible.

In the end, if Shigang cannot maintain the situation and collapse, Gao Tianhe will inevitably push Liang Xiaolin as a scapegoat.

In the current situation, Tan Qiping cannot push Liang Xiaolin out as a scapegoat, otherwise he will only be more isolated and passive in Donghua.

After hearing Tan Qiping's question, Liang Xiaolin's face was even bitter.

What the city can directly command now is the Urban Credit Union.

Because the command is in action, whenever there is any mess in the city, other banks are unwilling to come forward, so they will direct the city credit cooperative to fill the gap.

This also causes the loan bad debt rate of urban credit cooperatives to be far higher than other banks, becoming another mess in the city.

It is the end of the year. Not to mention that the loan quota of the Urban Credit Union has been exhausted, there is no extra money to send to Shigang to overcome the current crisis. The Urban Credit Union itself may also drag the City Steel into a serious crisis this time.

Over the years, the total amount of interest on loans paid to Shigang by the Urban Credit Union has been nearly 250 million. By the end of the year, the short-term maturity debts and interest that Shigang should pay to the Urban Credit Union will be almost 40 million.

At this time, the Urban Credit Union not only can no longer provide loans to the City Steel, but also urgently hopes to recover the 40 million yuan of debt due in the City Steel, otherwise the Urban Credit Union may not be able to stand up this year.

In the past few years since the establishment of the Urban Credit Cooperative, the loan balance has been only 600 million to 700 million, and the loans occupied by the Municipal Steel are about 40% of. If the Municipal Steel collapses, the Urban Credit Cooperative will also collapse.

Crisis did not happen before, so many problems could be hidden from being told. Anyway, everyone is used to reporting good news but not bad news. However, the crisis in front of them is likely to be unable to get over it. If you don’t explain the problem clearly, you will be afraid that there will be no problem clearly.

After hearing Liang Xiaolin explain the relationship between the Urban Credit Union and Shigang, Tan Qiping felt a faint cold on his back. Looking at Liang Xiaolin and the others, his eyes were also vaguely angry. He didn't know why the problem suddenly became so serious?

"In addition to the credit cooperative, it's the end of the year. Which institution can free up this fund?" Tan Qiping knew that being angry is not a solution at the moment. It's not time to push all the problems to Gao Tianhe. He tried his best to control his emotions and asked for possible solutions.

"Bank of the Municipal Bank of China, China Construction Bank and other banks may not be able to provide large amounts of funds by the end of the year, and the funds in the Employment Credit Bank may be a little more abundant." Liang Xiaolin said that he was in charge of government affairs such as finance and industry, and he was still clear about the financial institutions in Donghua City.

Although Yexin Bank has been in Donghua for a short time, it has developed extremely rapidly.

Meigang, Huailian, Huaineng, Pengyue and other companies have all set up Yexin Bank's main capital accounts, mainly entrusting Yexin Bank to handle financial business, so that more affiliated companies are tied to Yexin Bank. This makes Yexin Bank's development speed, which can be described as a rapid progress.

Feiqi Industrial and Beijing Investment's total investment in Huailian Heavy Industry is as high as US$40 million, as well as Meigang's newly obtained foreign exchange bond financing. After these foreign exchange funds enter the country, they will be converted into RMB for use in China.

Such a large amount of funds cannot be used up all at once. A large amount of construction and production reserve funds have been temporarily deposited into the accounts of various companies in Yexin Bank, becoming the deposit balance of Yexin Bank.

Yexin Bank's deposit balance in Donghua increased to 1.8 billion by the end of 1995; this also greatly supported Yexin Bank's lending ability.

By the end of the year, if there is any bank in Donghua City that has provided hundreds of millions of funds, only Yexin Bank will be the only one.

The reality is that the city has no way to directly order Yexin Bank to lend money to Shigang.

"Did you contact Zhang Lisheng?" Tan Qiping asked.

"Zhang Lisheng said he would do research based on the specific situation of Shigang, but he did not give a definite response," Liang Xiaolin said, "Are I going to find Shen Huai?"

Liang Xiaolin can no longer care about the question of whether he is shameful or not.
