673. Bad News
Listening to one good thing after another, when Li Annie said it, Li Yifan felt that his legs were already trembling, and his heart kept shouting, "These are really good things!"
Needless to say, light steel keels are high-end materials that are necessary for building tall buildings, ships, and port gantry cranes.
Although you can see this thing in many places, it actually requires a very high smelting process. Although it can also be produced in China.
However, in terms of corrosion resistance, strength, and weight, it has no advantage over imported materials. Although the price is a bit cheaper, most domestic builders and shipyards are more willing to buy foreign special steel, after all, the quality is much more reliable than domestic ones.
As for galvanized steel plates, let alone this thing is mainly used in automobiles. There are currently several large steel companies in China that are working together to tackle key problems.
If Li Yifan remembers correctly, it seems that Puhai’s Baosteel first came up with the plan and did it quite well. However, if you are really serious about comparing with German or Japanese products, there are still many shortcomings in terms of galvanizing thickness and material stability. Even compared with the galvanized plates produced by Pohang in South Korea, the quality is much worse than that of the galvanized plates produced by South Korea.
At that time, it was estimated that if the country had not had policy protection, Baosteel's galvanized plate would not have been sold for a few yuan. You should know that Koreans were always pressing on prices back then.
As for what makes Li Yifan the most excited, the film material of organic polymer ETF that Annie mentioned in the end is definitely a rare good thing!
This material can not only be plated on metal, but also on glass. Once it is put on, it can greatly strive for the corrosion resistance of the original materials, and it will also greatly improve the tensile strength.
This thing was first created by Americans and later used in many military fields. Americans once regarded it as a treasure and did not takeout.
Later, after the Germans and Japanese made it one after another, this thing was completely opened to the market. Later, when Beijing was building sports venues in order to welcome the World Games, the famous bird's nest, the Water Cube and other things, they had used this material significantly to strive for the corrosion resistance of the overall structure of the building, and the tensile strength, etc.
This thing has been around for decades, but even now it is not a big deal. The only things that can produce this thing in the world are outside the United States, Germany, and Japan, only a few relatively developed Western European countries like the Netherlands and Belgium can produce it.
Singapore is a Haigang City, and is located in the hot tropical circle and has many harbor buildings. Therefore, the requirements for the corrosion resistance and tensile strength of domestic buildings and port construction facilities are very high.
In the past, they also needed to import such materials in large quantities from abroad. However, in recent years, they have increased their investment in research on this material. They even organized a research team specifically with the lead of a professor named Zheng who came from the mainland. It took more than five years to invest less than hundreds of millions of dollars to achieve this result.
But unexpectedly, such a good thing came to Li Yifan in the hands of him. Let’s not talk about anything else. With this film material, Li Yifan firmly believes that in the next few years when the domestic real estate tide arrives, he can buy it himself into a billionaire by buying construction materials.
This excitement lasted for a long time because Li Yifan was a person who knew the goods. The lightweight keel steel and galvanized plate may not be anything, but the ETF polymer film material is definitely a good thing.
You should know that even after our country completed the construction of the Olympic venues, it could not be completely produced by itself. Later, when they were spending a lot of money abroad to get information, there was this one in the task, and they also specifically stated that this thing is very important.
I never expected this thing to be born in my own hands early!
So Li Yifan's excitement was really hard to express at this time. It took him a long time to calm down.
During this period, Annie Li on the opposite side has been watching him. She also knew that although this man seemed calm on the surface, she could see clues from his slightly trembling ankle. It seemed that the things he had made were very important to this man. He was very happy. If he was happy, then he would be happy...
She sighed quietly in her heart.
"What about the bad news next!"
Li Yifan, who finally recovered from calmness, also knew that after listening to the good news, it was time to face the bad news.
When Annie Li heard about this question, her face darkened. Obviously, she was not very satisfied with these two bad news.
"There are two good and bad news. The first one is about our acquisition of D private. The other party is unwilling to hand over D private into our hands. It should be said that the British and Australians are both arrogant and even arrogant, and they ignore our quotations at all."
When talking about this, Annie Li felt very wronged. During this period, she sent quotations to the other party several times, but the other party ignored her and even looked very contemptuous.
When Li Yifan heard this, he knew that when he saw Annie's expression, he knew that during the negotiations on this transaction, Annie must have suffered a lot of grievances.
When I think of the pride and arrogance of those British men, no, it should be said that the pride and arrogance of those Australian rustlers, this result seems to be a necessity.
Today, as we enter the 21st century, after years of economic recession and sluggish development, the British seem to have understood that it seems unlikely that they will restore the glory of the British Empire and the sun will not set.
So they accepted their fate and became followers behind Americans. They have tasted a lot of sweetness over the years. And when dealing with other countries and various races in the world, they have gradually learned to get along with each other with a more open and tolerant attitude, so when doing business with them, they are still following some rules.
But Australians are different. The descendants of these criminals in the early years rely on their natural geographical advantages and resource advantages. In recent years, especially with the rapid development of trade with the Asia-Pacific, they are now rich and have started to shake. When negotiating with people of color, they always have to maintain a arrogant attitude, especially those who are behind the scenes like China.
But they dare not to treat the Japanese because during World War II, the Japanese beat them up very badly. In addition, the miracle of the Japanese economic development after World War II made their attitude towards the Japanese very different from other Asian countries.
In short, this is a typical villain and a petty country. Thinking about the later generations when Huaguo Aluminum acquired Rio Tinto, his attitude of being spoiled by their scoundrels and arrogant behavior, you will know what kind of virtues the people in this country are.
"Isn't the current situation of D-private? Why are they still so tough now?"
Li Yifan felt a little surprised, but after thinking about the virtues of Australians, he felt that it was reasonable, so he asked.
"Yes, the sales of Ford and Chrysler in Australia are very bad now, especially after the Asian financial crisis, Australia's economy has suffered a very serious impact. You also know that Australia does not produce oil locally, and their oil supply depends entirely on imports. In this way, oil tiger products like Ford and Chrysler are no longer popular in the Australian market. Instead, Japanese cars and Korean cars have begun to become popular in Australia, so D private business conditions are very average, and they have even suffered losses for several consecutive years.
The loss of state is also the reason why the British Tire and Rubber Company wants to sell the company. We went to contact the British Tire and Rubber Company. Their attitude was a bit ambiguous. They didn't say it was OK, but they didn't say it was not OK. But unexpectedly, D-private was in trouble. Many of their local Australian employees disagree with the British selling the company to an Asian company that was unknown, and even threatened that once the British wanted to take action, they would go on strike..."
"Damn it, these Australian gangsters are so unreasonable!"
Li Yifan cursed fiercely, "This trick of these Australian gangs is very good. A few years later, domestic steel companies encountered such a scene when they entered the Australian mining company in a big way when they forced themselves to enter the Australian mining company, but they didn't expect that they would hit themselves in advance now."
"I didn't expect that Australia's business environment would be so harsh."
Annie Lee felt very helpless about this situation. She was obviously a poor company, but she was still so arrogant. They really regarded themselves as their old age.
"What about the second bad news?"
Li Yifan asked again.
"The second bad news is that Rio Tinto, after several discussions, also rejected our investment and became their shareholders' business proposal."
"What? These Australian scoundrels!"
When Li Yifan heard the news, he almost jumped up in anger. These Australians were too self-righteous. They were obviously having a hard time, but they still had to slap their faces to make them fat. It was so fucking that they were extremely bastards.
Chapter completed!
