"Another requirement is that when we trade niobium tantalum metal ore, we use international currency settlement. After all, my trading company uses US dollars to buy this mine..." Zhao Guoyang said his other request slowly.

To be honest, Zhao Guoyang’s request is not an exaggeration.

In the early 1990s, the US dollar was the largest international settlement currency. In many bilateral trades, everyone only recognized US dollar settlement.

Just like Volkswagen Latin American company paid Zhao Guoyang's patent usage payment and Zhao Guoyang injected capital into Susanna's trading company, they were all settled in US dollars.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Shen Zhirong raised his hand and responded: "This is no problem. Xiao Zhao's trading company imports rare ore from overseas, which is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. Although our Shagang Group is a private enterprise, it also has a patriotic heart and cannot make you suffer a loss!"

Having said that, there are basically no obstacles to cooperation between the two sides.

Next, Shen Zhirong will naturally not care about the purchase price of some specific pig iron and steel.

He shook hands with Zhao Guoyang and said, "Xiao Zhao, you and I hit it off at first sight. Don't leave today. I will arrange it to have a meal together and let me do the best of the landlords."

"Then I'm more respectful than obedient, and listen to Director Shen! Anyway, I want to take this opportunity to visit your factory's production line." Zhao Guoyang replied with a smile.

Shen Zhirong called Zhao Guoyang and turned around and went out. Before leaving, he did not forget to recruit Chen Guolin and Xiao Ruoyu outside.

Hu Jun, who stayed to discuss with Zhao Guoyang, secretly admired Zhao Guoyang's calm and composed look.

The young man in front of him is neither humble nor arrogant, and calm, and is a material for doing big things.

"Haha, Researcher Zhao, I know about your Hongda Machinery Factory. In the past, I have also dealt with your factory once or twice through one of the following suppliers. I heard that the production scale of frames in your factory grew rapidly last year, so the space for our two companies to cooperate will be very broad in the future..."

After Hu Jun finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang was happy. He knew that Director Hu's words were just polite.

In fact, the current scale of Hongda Machinery Factory is not enough to attract the attention of Shagang Group. Hu Jun's courtesy is due to his ability to provide niobium tantalum ore.

Of course, no matter what, I finally opened up such a road of win-win cooperation for the factory, and the result is already very satisfactory.

As the saying goes, people are holding people in the flower sedan chair, and the other party's posture is so low. Of course, Zhao Guoyang replied with a smile on his face: "Director Hu, I also hope that with your support and help, the factory can grow bigger and bigger..."

When Zhao Guoyang was chatting with Hu Jun in a random manner, Shen Zhirong, outside the technical department, also began to ask Chen Guolin and Xiao Ruoyu.

Director Shen first said to Chen Guolin: "Guolin, I came to you today. I originally wanted you to evaluate the prospects of producing hot-rolled coils in the factory. Who knew that I met a capable person like Xiao Zhao. How about it? You have talked about it, what kind of evaluation do you have for him?"

Chen Guolin was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a while, and began to organize his words: "Director Shen, although I only talked with Researcher Zhao for half an hour, I can say that I have a rough understanding of him."

"In my opinion, Researcher Zhao's professional level is definitely not inferior to me. He is well aware of the production level of some cold-rolled steel and special steels in the international and domestic countries. With this alone, I think he is better than most of the senior engineers in our technical department..."

"Well, I just discovered this. The most important thing is that Xiao Zhao himself is not in our steel smelting industry. This is the surprising thing!" Shen Zhirong said astonished.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Ruoyu next to him scratched his ears and wanted to interrupt, but forced himself to endure it.

Seeing his eagerness to speak but stopping, Shen Zhirong couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Xiao, tell me too, what you know and evaluate this old classmate."

Xiao Ruoyu had a rare opportunity to talk to the top manager. He was a little excited at the moment. His face turned red and he said incoherently: "Director, Guoyang is very powerful, really amazing..."

Shin Zhirong waved his hand and said, "I already know this, I just want to know what kind of magic he is, and what are his characteristics?"

Xiao Ruoyu was stunned for a moment and told him about Zhao Guoyang's daily visits to the library when he was in college, studying other majors by himself, and listening to other departments.

Finally, he concluded: "Director Shen, Guoyang is a well-deserved academic master. He ranked first in our mechanical college for four consecutive years, which also set a record in our school."

"At the beginning, our teacher forced him to take care of him for graduate school, but Guoyang refused to do so on the grounds that he wanted to go home to develop, which hurt the teacher for a long time..."

Hearing this, Shen Zhirong and Chen Guolin looked at me, and I looked at you, and there was a smile in their eyes.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that this Xiao Zhao was so unique!" Chen Guolin said.

"This is normal. If he is a regular person who follows the rules, can he achieve such achievements in the past six months after graduation and do so many things?"

"Tsk tsk, just one national Ministry of Mechanical and Electronics Industry's identity as a 'special researcher' is the honor that many domestic experts have always dreamed of. This young man is really not simple..." Shen Zhirong exclaimed.

Listening to Director Shen’s comments, Chen Guolin and Xiao Ruoyu both agreed with each other.

After Shen Zhirong sighed, he explained to the two: "Okay, I just want to know about Xiao Zhao's other situations with you. Now I have basically figured it out, so you can go in first and don't neglect them."

"In addition, in the evening, we will arrange a banquet in the top room of our Shagang Hotel to entertain this magical Xiao Zhao. Guolin and Xiao Xiao will also attend."

After saying that, when Xiao Ruoyu agreed repeatedly, Shen Zhirong didn't say much, waved his hands with the two of them, and walked away slowly.

Seeing Director Shen slowly walking away, Xiao Ruoyu could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and shouted out "Wow".

"Minister, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to have a meal at the private room on the top floor. It's so exciting!" Xiao Ruoyu's face turned red with excitement.

Seeing this guy's excited look, Chen Guolin pointed inside and said, "Xiao Xiao, is it okay to have some ambition? Look at your classmate, Researcher Zhao, how calm he is!"

Xiao Ruoyu did not think it was offensive and said, "Minister, people are not like each other. Guoyang has been an unattainable mountain in the minds of our classmates since he was in college."

"I am convinced by him, and I will not compare myself to the same level as him. In that case, it would be heart-wrenching. How tiring would it be to live!"

Xiao Ruoyu's statement made Chen Guolin look at him with admiration.

Indeed, if you can recognize your position and have such a pertinent analysis of your ability and level, Xiao Ruoyu, the subordinate of you, is also self-aware.

When Chen Guolin and Xiao Ruoyu entered the office, the conversation between Zhao Guoyang and Director Hu was almost over.

"Researcher Zhao, your factory has a great demand for q235 steel and q345 steel in the future. In terms of price, we will give you as much discount as possible. However, the price of spring steel is not high. If you give you a big discount, it will be a bit embarrassing..."

Zhao Guoyang quickly explained after hearing this: "Director Hu, I have no objection to the price of those two types of steel. Next time, our Hongda Machinery Factory is responsible for purchasing Director Ma, I will come here, and I'll ask you to meet and confirm it."

"As for spring steel, I also agree with your pricing. The only thing I want to say hello to you is that the types of goods I purchase may be more, hot rolled and cold drawn, all require part of them, but each quantity will not be too much at once. I also hope that your factory can take care of it."

Zhao Guoyang's explanation is not unreasonable. After all, his small workshop cannot be compared with large manufacturing companies. The total amount of steel required every month is not much, but the types are quite complicated.

Not to mention steel mills, just ordinary sellers will definitely complain when they hear you purchase like this, and it is normal to raise the unit price for you.

Now he talked about this situation to Director Hu in advance, just to meet honestly and not to make any more trouble when it comes to signing a cooperation.

After hearing what Zhao Guoyang said, Hu Jun couldn't help but grin and said lightly: "Researcher Zhao, please rest assured, this is definitely not a problem."

"I heard what you just said that the company you and Renhe shares are producing jewelry and other things, and it is normal for the limited spring steel needed."

Hu Jun said in a realistic manner: "Since we are preparing for long-term cooperation, our Shagang Group will naturally give you the best convenience to Researcher Zhao."

"In terms of spring steel and special steel, as long as you need it and if we have it in our factory, we will definitely arrange it properly for you. You can relax."

After Hu Jun made such a statement, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly said: "I thank Director Hu for his support. If it is convenient later, I will ask Minister Chen to take me to your factory for a visit, and then I will give you a few spring steel specifications that I need..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Hu Jun waved his hand and said, "Hey, there's no hurry at this moment. It's almost time to eat. Let's have a meal together first. Minister Chen, Xiao Xiao, you two are together."

"After the meal, you can take Researcher Zhao to our production line and check it out. Remember, you must make Researcher Zhao feel at home!"

Listening to Director Hu’s joke, Chen Guolin couldn’t help but smile and said, “Director Hu, don’t worry. With Xiao Xiao, an old classmate, you will definitely be able to accompany Researcher Zhao!”

Xiao Ruoyu, who was standing beside him, could only giggle from the side, and when he looked at Zhao Guoyang, he couldn't help rolling his eyes at him.
