"I really didn't expect that when I came to look for Guolin today, I could hear such words from a foreign comrade. I feel so relieved!" Shen Zhirong took Zhao Guoyang's hand and shook it hard.

At this time, Chen Guolin next to him had already stood up and introduced himself to his boss.

"The factory director, Zhao Guoyang, is the head of the technical department of Ninghai Hongda Machinery Factory and Xiao Xiao's classmate. He came to our factory today to discuss cooperation with us!"

As if he felt that he had forgotten something, Chen Guolin quickly talked about the identities of several "special researchers" of Zhao Guoyang.

After listening to Chen Guolin's introduction, Shen Zhirong couldn't help but feel a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Section Chief Zhao actually has so many prominent identities, it's not simple or simple. Well, on the Songqi Group, a delegation did go to the São Paulo State of Samba for investigation some time ago. Mr. Li was also in the delegation. You also went there on the same plane, no wonder..."

Zhao Guoyang explained reservedly: "Yes, Mr. Li and I talked about a lot of topics on the plane. Among them, we talked about you, Director Shen, and Mr. Li said that he was very respectful to Director Shen."

"He said bluntly that if private entrepreneurs like you emerge in China, the rapid improvement of the country's basic industrial level will no longer be a dream."

Shen Zhirong's words to Zhao Guoyang were very helpful. He was originally going to talk to Chen Guolin about the matter, but instead sat down and talked to Zhao Guoyang.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, I just heard what you meant. It seems that this time I came to our Shagang Group, it is not just as simple as purchasing steel raw materials."

"It just so happens that several deputy factory managers in charge of sales and procurement in our factory are there. You still have what you want to discuss and what you need to cooperate with. Just say it directly, and you don't need to worry about it."

After Shen Zhirong said this, several leaders behind him looked at Zhao Guoyang with a smile on his kind eyes.

Everyone is a discerning person, and it can be seen that Director Shen attaches great importance to this young man named Zhao Guoyang.

Zhao Guoyang nodded with Shen Zhirong with gratitude and told him all the things he wanted this time.

"Director Shen, the reason why I came to your factory today is mainly two aspects. The first is naturally the purchase."

"Our Hongda Machinery Factory wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your factory to purchase all the raw materials needed for frames and iron parts from your factory; in addition, a machine factory that I and my friend jointly invested in, also wants to purchase special steel, such as spring steel, and so on in bulk from your factory..."

"Well, these two problems are easy to solve." Shen Zhirong responded without hesitation.

"I know Hongda Machinery Factory. One of the few machinery factories in the province that produce motorcycle frames has good benefits. It is also a state-owned enterprise. I don't worry about cooperating with your factory."

"In addition, I am also optimistic about this machinery factory where Xiao Zhao and your friend jointly invested. There is no problem with purchasing special steel. The only thing you need to negotiate is the price."

Shen Zhirong turned his head and looked at the white and fat cadre behind him who was like Maitreya Buddha and instructed: "Lao Hu, Comrade Xiao Zhao is a distinguished guest in our factory, and he also has the identity of a 'special researcher' of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronics Industry. In terms of price, you should try your best to give discounts..."

"Yes, yes, factory director, I understand!" This fat man named Hu Jun is the deputy director of Shagang Group in charge of sales and procurement, and the factory ranking is second only to Shen Zhirong.

It should be said that Director Hu is still very good at dealing with things.

After giving Shen Zhirong a guarantee, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhao Guoyang and said, "Researcher Zhao, don't worry. Just based on your high evaluation of our Shagang Group just now, we can't let you suffer a loss in terms of price. Let's talk about the specific matters back."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang quickly expressed his gratitude to Director Hu and asked him to take care of him in the future.

Then Zhao Guoyang expressed his second purpose for this trip.

"Director Shen, my second purpose this time is to talk to your factory about the sale of rare metal ores. This time I went to Samba Country and cooperated with a friend to win a niobium ore. I wonder if your factory has any considerations in the development of special steel?"

"What, Researcher Zhao, are you saying that you can provide niobium tantalum ore to our factory?" Hearing this, Chen Guolin could no longer sit still when he heard this.

Zhao Guoyang nodded very seriously and said, "That's right, it's the niobium tantalum ore! A friend of Samba and I have bought a niobium tantalum ore in São Paulo State with wholly owned by the government and are preparing for the mining stage."

When Shen Zhirong heard this, his face became solemn.

He stared at Zhao Guoyang and asked word by word: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, our factory does have this demand. We naturally trust you, and we also believe that you can indeed win a niobium tantalum ore overseas."

"But how do you transport the ore back to China after you mine the niobium tantalum ore? Is this a question? If I remember correctly, the niobium tantalum ore is listed as a rare metal by Western countries, so it is an embargo to us, right?"

After Shen Zhirong finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang secretly exclaimed.

Indeed, although Shen Zhirong himself is not a technical background, his understanding of technology, sales, and international trade rules is indeed no less than that of professionals.

Mr. Li once said that this person is patient, eager to study, and willing to study. It seems that this is true.

Thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang explained: "Director Shen, you are right. It is indeed impossible for niobium tantalum ore to be transported to our country through the European continent."

"But the relationship between Samba and our country is now in the honeymoon period. As long as you open a direct route, you can definitely break through the Western blockade and transport it here. You don't need to worry about this."

Perhaps I felt that my words might not be too convincing. Zhao Guoyang added: "In addition, I have also reported this matter to Mayor Huang of Songjiang City. After returning from Samba, I registered a trading company in Songjiang City, with the purpose of absorbing the continuous stream of niobium and tantalum ore in the future."

After Zhao Guoyang said this with a calm expression, the people from Shagang Group at the scene were so surprised that their chin was almost falling off.

There is only one mayor named Huang in Songjiang City, that is Mayor Huang Zhigang, the top leader of the municipal government.

This Zhao Guoyang and Mayor Huang can speak well. Isn’t that amazing?

After a while, Shen Zhirong woke up from his brief absent mind. He coughed and looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Xiao Zhao, after hearing what you said, there is no problem with this cooperation."

"In this way, I will give you a promise. As long as the price of your niobium tantalum ore does not exceed 40% of the international market price, we Shagang Group will win as much as you have and will never break your promise!"

Shin Zhirong's words undoubtedly reflect his courage and courage as a successful private entrepreneur.

In fact, even if Shagang Group takes out a price that exceeds half of the international market price to purchase a rare metal ore such as niobium tantalum ore, it will not suffer any loss at all.

You should know that in the early 1990s, the Republic's mining of rare metals was almost zero.

In other words, as long as you purchase these niobium tantalum ore from Zhao Guoyang and increase your technological research and development efforts, Shagang Group may become the first steel company in China to smel this rare metal alloy.

Niobium tantalum metal, known uses include chemical, electronic, electrical, aviation and other industries.

If Shagang Group can really develop and produce this special alloy, it will undoubtedly cause a strong storm to the domestic steel market.

After Shen Zhirong finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Guoyang's eyes, as if he wanted to see his inner thoughts.

Zhao Guoyang smiled at the imposing Director Shen and said calmly: "Director Shen, since everyone is working together and seeking win-win results, I will definitely not be able to cheat you and Shagang Group."

"Let's do this. After our niobium tantalum ore is mined, we will sell it to your Shagang Group at the international market price..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Hu Jun behind Shen Zhirong's face was filled with joy.

Obviously, the ability to purchase rare metal mines that are embargoed by Western countries at international market prices made the deputy factory manager who was in charge of procurement very excited.

Director Hu's happiness did not last long. The next moment, Zhao Guoyang said again: "In terms of price, I can give your factory the biggest discount, but I also have two small requests, and I hope Director Shen can agree."

Shen Zhirong seemed to be prepared for this. He looked at Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhao, you are very awesome."

"When negotiating, it is well-founded and not affected by the other party's emotions at all. I am now more and more pleasing to you. OK, please just ask if you have any requirements. Whether it can be satisfied or not, I will give you a positive answer."

Zhao Guoyang nodded slightly and then expressed his request.

"That's right, Director Shen, I can sell this niobium tantalum ore to you Shagang Group exclusively. In other words, as long as you Shagang Group can eat all the ores produced, we will not resell them to any other steel company in China."

"At the same time, I also hope that once your factory produces niobium tantalum metal alloy, it will give my trading company priority purchase rights."

"Priority purchase right? Xiao Zhao, do you want to sell the niobium tantalum metal produced in our factory to foreign countries?" Shen Zhirong asked with some clarity.

"No, I don't have this plan!"

Zhao Guoyang said firmly: "My trading company may increase its business scope in the future and transform into a manufacturing enterprise. Maybe it will use rare metals such as niobium, tantalum, and other rare metals. So I'll tell you about this in advance, which is a precaution."

Shen Zhirong and Hu Jun looked at each other and then said, "This requirement is no problem. I can agree now. If our factory produces niobium and tantalum metal, we will guarantee priority supply to Xiao Zhao! What is your other requirement?"
Chapter completed!
