Looking at the three people with prominent family backgrounds, Bao Zixuan knew that these people were German aristocrats to put it bluntly. It's not called that now, but everyone thinks so.

Now there is a lot of cooperation between the Black Cloud Group and Rheinmetall, of which Knight XV is a part, and many other auto parts are also purchased from Rheinmetall. Therefore, Oliver Lehard attaches great importance to the arrival of Bao Zixuan, after all, this cooperation project will definitely not be small to be able to let the boss of Heiyun come forward, otherwise Bao Zixuan will not come over in person.

In a hotel on the banks of the Rhine, Bao Zixuan met three German industrial giants, the first time he met the descendants of these legendary families in the history books. Adhering to the low-key character of the Germanic people, these people rarely appear in the public eye, and even in later generations when information is highly developed, it is rare to see reports about them.

In Germany, these old families can be said to be very low-key, which also has a lot to do with their losses after the world war. After all, if it weren't for the rise of the Soviet Union, all of them would have to be found guilty, and they were also families who committed crimes in the war.

Oliver Lehard smiled and said to Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Bao! Welcome to Germany, I will introduce you." ”

After speaking, he pointed to a tall man next to him and said, "This is Rehhagel Thyssen, the current president of Thyssen Industries." ”

Then he pointed to a slightly shorter man and said, "This is Ondet Krupp, chairman of the Krupp Foundation." ”

After Bao Zixuan shook hands with the two of them, the four of them sat on the sofa and started chatting. At present, there are only 4 people in this room, and the other people are waiting for news in the next room, including the second son of the Huo family.

Oliver Lehard said: "Bao, you asked me to invite someone here to say that there is big business to discuss, you are not here to invite us for coffee!"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course not, I have a mining company that wants to build a steel smelting plant in Asia. Germany's industrial system is very developed, and the steel smelting industry is the best in the world. And the three of you are the leaders in this industry, so I came here to discuss with you and see if we can have a chance to cooperate. ”

At this time, the other two looked to Rehhagel-Thyssen, after all, Thyssen Industries is the most authoritative company in steel. And Rehhagel-Thyssen is a steel professional, and he is more authoritative in this regard.

Rehhagel-Thyssen, who didn't want to be the first to speak, knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he had to say: "Mr. Bao, where are you going to build a steel plant in Asia, and how large-scale." ”

Bao Zixuan: "Ready to be built in the deep sea of China, the place has been chosen. As for the scale of annual output to reach more than 10 million tons, and there must be a special steel production line. ”

Hearing that this place is still on the scale of the building, the three of them are more worried. This scale is not to be built in a short period of time, and the construction of such a large factory in China will definitely be subject to certain restrictions, and the most important thing is to have a special steel production line, which is a very hot thing, a solution is not good, not to mention making money is that the factory may not be able to keep.

Rehhagel-Thyssen: "Mr. Bao is really big, but it requires a lot of money, and we have to take a lot of political risks, and if the profit is too small, Thyssen is not interested in this project. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think this is a good thing for all of us. The three of you have a lot of spare steel smelting equipment, and you can use it as a new one if you renovate it for me. The quality of German industry is never in doubt. ”

In the early days of the Cold War, Germany built a number of steel production enterprises, in order to supply the needs of NATO troops as soon as possible. However, it was later found that if the Soviets attacked the German garrison, the garrison would not be able to resist at all, and many of the same enterprises were built in other areas, and these equipment were only built in the last ten years, and there was absolutely no problem with the quality.

Andert Krupp: "We have built a lot of factories, and if we don't need them now, we won't need them in the future. ”

Bao Zixuan: "When can it be used, 10 years, 20 years or 50 years, it is estimated that the equipment has long been eliminated, and it is definitely the best choice to sell it to me now." And I'm not paying for it yet, how about I exchange it for what you need most! If you're not satisfied, I can pay it in cash right away. ”

Hearing that they could be exchanged for what they needed, all 3 were dismissive. After all, they didn't think that this young man would be able to come up with something that would make them happy, but it didn't hurt to look at it.

Only Oliver Lehard was the most familiar with Bao Zixuan, so he said: "Bao, there is something we are interested in, I would like to see, but don't let us down, so there is really nothing to talk about." ”

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Several of them are experts, how dare I sell Guan Zi in front of you again!"

After speaking, he took out the report that had been prepared a long time ago, and saw that it was just a few blank sheets of paper, and at first a few people didn't pay much attention to it. But when they saw the content, everyone's expressions were wonderful.

Bao Zixuan took the rare earth test report issued by the professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which has detailed data and analysis of quality.

Rehhagel-Thyssen said excitedly: "This is what you synthesized! How can there be such a high content of rare earth resources in nature, I can't believe it." ”

Bao Zixuan: "There is detailed data on it, and there are also the signatures of three professors from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Not only these, but I also brought a ton of rare earth samples, which you can test in your own laboratory, and the good things are not afraid of any inspection. ”

"German industry has always been sought after by the public because the quality of the basic materials is better than that of other countries, and now if you add rare earth metals, only God knows what kind of equipment can be produced. It can be said that the best rare earth resources on the planet are currently in my hands, and it is not impossible if I go to other companies that are even slightly worse than Germany. When the time comes, several people will have to face competition, and my foundation is weak, at least in terms of steel. Even the use of rare earth resources cannot catch up with the quality of Germany, but RB and other European countries are not necessarily. ”

Oliver Lehard: "Bag, we're friends, you have to buy me some of this rare earth." If our new tank project is added with rare metals, the combat effectiveness will definitely go up more than one notch, and this is the raw material I have always dreamed of looking for. ”

Actually, I don't blame Oliver Lehard, after all, these reports are so amazing. The Leopard 2 tank is now finalized, the only thing missing is the strength of the metal, which was not improved until the large-scale application of rare earths, and now how can Oliver Lehard not be excited to see such an excellent material.

Watching Oliver Lehard show all his hole cards made Rehhagel Thyssen and Endert Krupp very depressed. This is simply a pig teammate, who has thought before speaking, isn't this waiting for someone to slaughter!

But now that the wood has become a boat, he can only wait for the other party to play his cards first and see what the other party's appetite is saying.

Bao Zixuan said: "Oliver, it's up to you whether you can get rare earth resources. As long as Rheinmetall can provide me with the equipment for the construction of a steel enterprise, then I can exchange these equipment for rare earths. And after you use it up, it will supply you at a discount of 9.5% off the market price, and this agreement will remain in effect until the resources are exhausted. ”

Oliver Lehard wanted to agree, but saw the other two looking at him who wanted to kill. reacted immediately and said, "Package, I have to confirm this problem again." Didn't you bring a ton of rare earths! I guess it should be fine to ask the engineer to test it!"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I've already packed it, and it's just outside." You can take the test with you, but I can only give you 3 days, and if we don't negotiate I'll go to Luxembourg. ”
