Chapter 269 Opportunities for Niobium-Tantalum Ore

After returning to his seat, Zhao Guoyang politely said thank you to Matilda, then smiled slightly at Susanna and raised his glass to greet him.

After Qianqian took a sip of the wine, Susanna looked at Zhao Guoyang with anticipation and said, "Zhao, can you give the wine in your hand to me and Matilda?"

"No problem!" Zhao Guoyang responded with pleasure, then got up and brought two empty cups over.

While pouring wine into two cups, Zhao Guoyang reminded: "This Alabama wine must be drunk before the ice melts before it will taste, otherwise it will dilute the smell of the wine..."

Upon hearing this, the two women hurriedly took the wine glass handed over by Zhao Guoyang and tasted the glass of "Alabama".

After swallowing the first sip of wine, Matilda couldn't help but close her eyes and whispered her tasting results: "The taste is refreshing and the taste is strong, and it is a rare rich cocktail..."

"Wow, this wine is so delicious, it's even more refreshing than my glass!" Susanna also exclaimed repeatedly.

After hearing the two girls' comments, Zhao Guoyang just smiled slightly and did not say too many words to show off.

Indeed, making cocktails is a very common thing for him, who has had a very rich travel experience in his previous life, and there is nothing to show off.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you very much for your wine. I'll treat you today! Please use it slowly!"

After drinking the glass of wine in one breath, Matilda glanced at Zhao Guoyang deeply and slowly walked back to the bar.

"Ah? This..." Seeing Matilda gradually moving away, Zhao Guoyang touched his cheek in confusion.

"Susanna, is this Miss Matilda so generous? Why do we have dozens of dollars for these two glasses of wine?"

"Zhao, don't worry about Matilda. She is not just a bartender, but also the daughter of the owner of this store..."

Susanna smiled and said, "To be honest, I have benefited from you today, thank you!"

Seeing Susanna raise her wine glass, Zhao Guoyang could only touch her and taste the wine carefully.

While drinking the cocktail, Zhao Guoyang and Susanna gradually started chatting.

It can be heard that Susanna is very interested in China, a mysterious oriental power, and she has expressed her thoughts of going out for a trip several times.

Zhao Guoyang welcomed this, and he joked: "If Miss Susanna really comes to China for a trip, she must come to me. Then I will invite you to drink..."

After hearing this, Susanna smiled and said, "Hehe, Zhao, I don't have your bartending skills. If you invite me to drink, you must spend money."

Zhao Guoyang smiled discontently at Susanna's joke and said nothing.

Putting down the wine glass, Susanna tilted her head and said, "Zhao, do you know that I want to go to China. In addition to wanting to learn about this mysterious country, I actually have another plan."

Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously shook his head.

Seeing Zhao Guoyang's confused look, Susanna blinked her big eyes, as if she had thought of something interesting.

"Tell you, I want to go to China, and another purpose is to inspect the market. You must not be able to guess this, Zhao..." Susanna said proudly.

"Uh? Check the market? You?" Zhao Guoyang's face showed a look of difference when he heard this.

"yes!"

Susanna raised her head and said shyly, "Actually, Zhao, you should have guessed some of it. I am not a formal Chinese translator. The reason I accompanied my father to pick me up yesterday was just for fun and wanted to increase my knowledge. My own job is to run a foreign trade company..."

"Well, you are not a regular translator, I guessed this. But I didn't expect you to do business." Zhao Guoyang said frankly.

Susanna hugged her chest and said, "It's not difficult to understand. Before my father ran for Governor of Sao Paulo, he was the leader of the Baptista family business. But after he entered politics, he handed over this stolen to my mother."

"And I myself, a few years ago, started a foreign trade company, mainly dealing with some fruits, coffee, rum, etc."

Susanna paused and continued, "The reason I wanted to go to China is that I wanted to inspect the fruit and rum market there. If you have coffee, there are probably not many people in your country who drink it, because your Chinese tea has a better reputation in the international market than coffee."

After hearing what Susanna said, Zhao Guoyang's thoughts gradually became alive.

Originally, after coming to Samba, he was thinking about how to get in touch with the Chinese businessmen here and asked about the cooperation in the development of non-ferrous metal mines.

Now, someone gives you a pillow if you are sleepy.

With my understanding of Miss Susanna's personality and familiarity with each other, I believe that it should be no big problem to work together to develop a non-ferrous metal mine project.

However, it is very important whether this Miss Susanna knows about this.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang put down his wine glass and asked tentatively: "Miss Susanna, I'm going to tell you that I actually have the idea of ​​investing in a project this time. I wonder if you have a certain understanding of your country's non-ferrous metal mines?"

When Susanna heard this, she was stunned.

In her impression, it seemed that people in China were very cautious and cautious, and rarely had the idea of ​​establishing any trading company. Why was Zhao Guoyang so unique?

However, Susanna has seen Zhao Guoyang's specialness a lot in the past two days. After thinking about it for a while, she told the situation at home.

"Zhao, you're really asking the right person. Although my trading company does not include mineral resources such as non-ferrous metal ores, our family's enterprises have oil and mineral projects."

Susanna raised her hand and gestured: "Now, the biggest business in my mother's hands is oil. Although the competition is fierce, money is easier to make."

"As for non-ferrous metal ore, due to the high difficulty of development and very little output, we have not found a company that cooperates in development to invest in mining funds after buying a niobium ore, so we can only be in a stagnant state for the time being."

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was immediately excited. Niobium and tantalum are both types of non-ferrous metal ores.

Niobium tantalum ore is a rare metal ore. Both are rare metals with high melting points and high boiling points.

In terms of appearance, both are somewhat similar to steel, with an off-white luster and a dark gray powder.

These two metals have high practical application value, with characteristics such as suction, corrosion resistance, superconductivity, monopole conductivity and high strength at high temperatures.

In his previous life, new tantalum and niobium materials were used in many high-tech industries.

Including the electronics, precision ceramics and precision glass industries, aerospace and electronic energy industries, superconducting industries, special steel and other industries, these two metals need to be used in large quantities.

Now Zhao Guoyang heard that Susanna's family business actually took down a niobium tantalum ore, so he was naturally in a very upset mood.

Susanna didn't notice the look on Zhao Guoyang's face. She took a sip of wine and said to herself: "Speaking of this, when she bought this niobium tantalum ore, her father spent a total of one million US dollars. Although the price was not high, after buying it, the family discovered that it turned out that mining costs more..."

"In the past two years, after my mother took over the family's career, she has been thinking several times to prepare to dispose of the niobium ore."

"Minerals that cannot generate profits are really worthwhile in your hands. It is better to use this money to invest in other minerals, such as iron ore and manganese ore, which are not difficult to mine and have good sales..."

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang knew that his chance had come.

He coughed and spoke solemnly: "Susanna, I wonder if your family is willing to cooperate with foreign companies to develop this niobium ore ore?"

"I don't know much about this. My mother has a unique idea and has to ask her in person before she can find out."

Susanna shook her head and said, "And it is also important to cooperate with companies in any country. Just like a country like Bangzi Country with problems with integrity, it is difficult for us to believe their companies."

"Wait a minute!"

Speaking of this, Susanna seemed to suddenly react. She stared at Zhao Guoyang in a daze and shouted in a low voice: "Zhao, what do you mean by saying this... Could it be that you want to invest in the development of this niobium tantalum ore?"

After Susanna asked, Zhao Guoyang nodded calmly and slowly said, "Miss Susanna, you guessed that I really plan to invest in the development of this mineral with your family business. I wonder, can you recommend Lingtang to meet me?"

Perhaps he felt that his words were a little abrupt and unbelievable, so Zhao Guoyang explained the fact that he was about to obtain a patent fee.

Finally, Zhao Guoyang said to Susanna: "Miss Susanna, don't worry, no matter whether our cooperation can be successful or not, it will not affect our friendship."

"We have a proverb in China, saying, 'Business is not successful,' you must have heard of this, right?"

Hearing this, Susanna couldn't help but laugh. Her big eyes stared at Zhao Guoyang's face and looked carefully for a while before she spoke: "Zhao, of course, I trust you 100%. But these days, my mother has been in Rio de Janeiro and may not be able to come back..."

Seeing Zhao Guoyang seemingly disappointed, Susanna quickly added: "But don't worry, I will communicate with my mother immediately on this matter. Regardless of whether she decides to cooperate with you in the end, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
