Chapter 272 Rare Earth Exchange Equipment 5
Now these machines and equipment can be used immediately once they are transported to China, and the rapid development of China has not attracted enough attention from European countries. In recent years, with the negative propaganda of the news media, Europeans believe that the Chinese are still living in a semi-primitive society, at least the market has not yet opened up to them.
Even powerful experts and scholars cannot predict that the future steel gap in the Chinese market will be so large, and special steel can hardly be produced by itself. Now Bao Zixuan is using this time when production capacity and sales are not equal to each other to complete the transfer of steel production capacity.
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "Some of the steel plants we have built are basically unused, and they will last at least 20 years. We can accept this price, but we can only provide you with raw materials in the special steel factory, and you have to produce the rest of the equipment yourself. After all, a lot of equipment is banned from being exported to China by Batumi, and we can't afford to take that risk. β
Bao Zixuan: "But there are only raw materials and no technical parameters, and with the current technical reserves of Heiyun, I am afraid that they cannot be produced, and even if they are produced, they will not meet the requirements." β
Rehhagel-Thyssen felt a lot more comfortable listening to what Bao Zixuan said, and there were things that you kid couldn't do. This time, you know how powerful German companies are! The industrial base will not be able to catch up with it in a short period of time. This is something that has been built up over many years and has been the work of several generations.
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "We have also thought about this question, that is, the processing capacity of the black cloud should be able to process the core components, as for the technical parameters we can provide, as for the rest, it is up to Mr. Bao himself." After all, a lot of equipment is a product that Batumi fame and fortune prohibit from being exported to China, if it weren't for Mr. Bao, you are a friend enough, or there are more rare earth minerals, we can't agree. β
Bao Zixuan: "Then there is no problem, I don't need the most advanced equipment in Germany." However, it cannot be worse than the existing equipment of similar RB, which I hope you can meet, after all, my main market is in Asia, and RB steel enterprises are the biggest competitors. β
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "That's fine, RB Steel is still able to deceive people who don't know how to do it in Asia. However, compared with European companies, it is definitely not enough, you can rest assured that German steel companies are definitely stronger than RB Nippon Steel and other steel companies in terms of technology, and there is at least a technical gap of more than 5 years between the two sides. β
Bao Zixuan sorted out the information of the Shanghai Iron and Steel Project in the previous world through memory, and upgraded it on this basis. The aim is to put together the most advanced technology in the country of RB so that the Germans can understand. In fact, their technical advantages are not obvious, RB steel enterprises have conquered cities in Asia in recent years, and their strength and technology have long been different.
After seeing the information, Rehhagel-Thyssen suddenly felt that it was impossible, when did RB have such strong steel smelting equipment and capabilities. Although the Germans and RB people in the international arena belong to each other in the field of industry and technology, but in the hearts of the Germans they still have a certain advantage compared with RB, now it seems that they are a little arrogant and arrogant, if they are still as complacent as the original, then what awaits them will be surpassed. And this time will be very fast, and it may even be possible to achieve the next set of equipment development.
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "Mr. Bao, is the information you provided accurate? When did the RB people have such strength, this does not match the information we have. β
Bao Zixuan: "I don't have a metallurgical background, these are the equipment and technical materials that Nippon Steel is preparing to export to the Shanghai Iron and Steel Project." If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate at RB, or just visit Nippon Steel. β
Rehhagel-Thyssen thought that with Bao Zixuan's identity and status, he would not be able to lie, and judging from the style of the technical information provided, it was definitely written by RB people.
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "From this information, it seems that the RB people have indeed made a lot of progress in metallurgy, but they are still much worse than those in Germany. β
Bao Zixuan: "German companies no longer need to compete with RB companies in Asia, but the biggest competitor of my steel company is RB people. I need your support, otherwise it will be difficult to win the market. β
Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, the three of them also thought that what they said was very reasonable, but the most advanced technology in Germany was definitely impossible to exchange. According to the 3-person reservation plan, I started to communicate with Bao Zixuan, and I was very satisfied with the product models and parameters provided by the other party, and these devices will not be outdated in the 21st century. The products produced would be sold at that time, and it seems that the Germans were still very sincere.
However, after understanding the specific situation of the three companies, Bao Zixuan also needs to make a layout for the future. After all, if you want to enter heavy industry in the future, you will definitely be inseparable from the technical support of the other party, and it seems that you still need to get some more things.
Bao Zixuan continued: "I am very satisfied with the technical indicators and performance of these devices, but I hope to get the technology and patent authorization of other aspects from your companies. β
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "I don't know what equipment technology and patent licensing Mr. Bao still needs. β
Bao Zixuan: "I need your technology and patent authorization in shipbuilding, complete sets of equipment, bridge construction, etc. At present, German companies have not entered the Chinese market, rather than such a waste of better than authorize us to produce, so that the three companies do nothing can also get a large amount of patent licensing fees every year, at most to send a few engineers for guidance, and we will also pay for guidance. And we can't make these products into the European market for 20 years; that's a win-win. β
Seeing Oliver Lehard and Ondet Krupp nodding their heads to themselves, Rehhagel Thiessen smiled and said, "No problem, who made us friends!"
In this way, the four companies reached a strategic cooperation agreement, but the amount of this transaction is very large. It also involves some Minggan equipment, which needs to be reported to the German Ministry of Commerce for approval. It is believed that with the status and contacts of these three companies in Germany, it will be very fast.
Sure enough, Bao Zixuan was not disappointed, and the German Ministry of Commerce's approval was very fast, and it only took 2 days to agree to the applications of 3 companies. This is something that no one has thought of, in fact, this has a lot to do with the current difficulties of German iron and steel enterprises, if it can be exported through technology, it is also a large profit model.
On June 15, 1980, DΓΌsseldorf, Germany, welcomed many world-class media. Bao Zixuan, Oliver Lehard, Ondet Krupp and Rehhagel Thyssen held a grand signing ceremony in the reception hall of Rheinmetall.
Bao Zixuan, on behalf of Bao Huodong Mining Company and the heads of the three companies, signed his name on the contract. So far, the proposed rare earth exchange equipment plan has been successful, and it is even better than I expected.
Bao Huo Dong Mining Company exchanged 8 million tons of rare earths, some small CNC machine tools of Heiyun and some cash for a total of 6.8 billion US dollars in technology and patent licenses for steel production equipment and some equipment from Thyssen, Krupp and Rheinmetall. The transaction will take two years to complete, mainly because the amount of rare earths mined is not up to the mark.
If all of this equipment is installed and commissioned, and the designed output value can be achieved, then Bao Huo Dong Mining Company can become one of the world's largest steel smelters, at least in Asia, and only RB's Nippon Steel can surpass them.
Seeing that Bao Zixuan on the stage really did things so that Huo Ergongzi, who was in the audience, really didn't know what to say, he just went to Luxembourg for about a week, and he was able to negotiate such an important contract, and the price paid can be said to be negligible, basically negligible. It seems that the gap between himself and Bao Sheng is still very big, and he must work hard again.
