Chapter 271: Rare Earth Exchange Equipment 4
After the three German industrial giants determined the plan, they began to discuss the details and precautions of the second negotiation with Bao Zixuan. Due to a glaring mistake in the first negotiation, Oliver Lehard could only act as an auxiliary negotiator this time.
Rehhagel-Thyssen, who studied the steel industry, has an advantage over the two of them. Plus Ondette-Krupp himself doesn't like to care about anything. So this time the main negotiations on the German side were in charge of Rehhagel-Thiessen.
In fact, this is also a deliberate effort between Thyssen and Krupp to compress Rheinmetall's position and interests, after all, they have a lot of cooperation with Black Cloud. If this negotiation is affected by some inexplicable entanglements of interests in consideration of the previous cooperation, then their interests will be damaged, and on the contrary, they can strive to maximize their interests.
However, this matter still needs to be convened by the board of directors, and there are detailed rare earth content data. After adding the results of their respective inspections, the boards of directors of all three companies approved the plan. After all, they can continue to produce industrial equipment, and they don't have any rare earth minerals.
Bao Zixuan and the second son of the Huo family were not idle, and Bao Zixuan, accompanied by Hiroshi Hashimoto, inspected the entire German Black Cloud dealers and stores. Looking at the popularity of Heiyun electronic products in Europe, the richest man is very happy, but seeing that the big appliances still can't be sold, the good mood just now disappeared without a trace. It seems that in the field of major appliances, it is good to put some effort into the black clouds, otherwise how can you compete with others.
Huo Ergongzi went to Luxembourg, mainly to confuse his opponent. These Germans must be sending people to monitor Bao Zixuan and others, and if Bao Zixuan leaves at this time, it will be a bit of a reversal, after all, 3 days have not yet arrived. Huo Zhenhuan is different, it can be said that he can go to Luxembourg for tourism, vacation, and recruitment of workers, and the Germans have room for maneuver once they ask, so as not to make too much trouble.
Huo Ergongzi really has important things to do, and he went to Luxembourg to recruit engineers. As a steel kingdom, Luxembourg has only 440,000 people, and even if they all learn steel technology, it is impossible to build such a large-scale steel enterprise, so they have recruited a lot of engineers around the world.
Huo Zhenhuan's task is to find some Asians among them and see if they are willing to return to Asia to work. The salary and treatment can be increased accordingly, and how many people can be brought back depends on the personal charm and ability of Huo Ergongzi.
Three days passed quickly, still in the hotel. This time, the 3 German tech tycoons seem to be okay, almost all of them are looking at Rehhagel Thyssen, as if to say, it's up to you next.
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "Hello, Mr. Bao! How are you resting in Germany these days, the scenery of the Rhine is not bad?"
Bao Zixuan: "Germany is really a beautiful place, and when I get old, I will definitely live here for a period of time every year." How do you feel about being neighbors then, Mr. Thyssen?"
Hearing Bao Zixuan say that we are neighbors when we are old, this is to make Rehhagel-Thyssen live towards the age of more than 100 years.
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "I'd love to be a neighbor, but you're too fond of my body. When you get old, I will be over 100 years old, and I don't think I will live that old. Thank you as I strive to achieve this goal. ”
Bao Zixuan: "What do you think about the rare earth mineral testing I provide, and whether it can meet your requirements?" ”
Rehhagel-Thyssen has previously investigated a lot of reports about Black Cloud and Bao Zixuan, especially the personality traits and style in the negotiations. Let him learn from it that Bao Zixuan often suffers losses in the process of negotiation, although it is much better now, it is because he basically does not participate in specific negotiations. This gave him an opportunity, an opportunity to maximize the benefits.
In fact, Bao Zixuan didn't want to negotiate in person, but this time the matter was too big. If you let someone else come, you may get more benefits, but it will be very long. Bao Zixuan, who was bent on strengthening his strength before the collapse of the Soviet Union, couldn't afford to drag it out, so he came over in such a hurry.
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "Mr. Bao's products are indeed good, but there are many good minerals in this world. We don't have it in Germany, but we can still buy rare earth resources in other places, but who made us friends! We hope to cooperate with Mr. Bao, after all, Mr. Bao's strength and reputation have nothing to say. ”
"The industrial equipment in Germany is absolutely the best in the world, they are simply works of art. You won't object to this, Mr. Bao!"
Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I personally like German machinery and equipment. At the same time, many of the equipment and workers in Heiyun are of German origin, so I hope to get German smelting equipment, so that there will be no waste in resource integration. ”
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "We both have the intention and sincerity to cooperate, and now we just hope to reach a consensus on a balance point, what do you think?"
Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I came with sincerity. ”
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "The second son of the Xiangjiang Huo family is now in Luxembourg, and Mr. Bao's sincerity is inevitably a little insufficient. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Huo Ergongzi went to Luxembourg for a vacation, and I heard that the scenery there is very good. I'd like to go, but I'd like to see where we're going to go on vacation when we get together. ”
Rehhagel Thyssen knew that it was now Bao Zixuan, and he could only maximize the benefits in the limited hole cards, so he said: "Bao Sheng, I hope that in the future, unless there are irresistible factors, you will not unilaterally tear up the contract for the supply of rare earths to our three companies, and all of them will be supplied at a 9% discount on the market price." ”
Bao Zixuan: "No problem, but the premise is that you must provide me with the equipment I need, and I have to choose the equipment model myself." In addition, you need to provide technical guidance for the dismantling and installation of your existing overcapacity equipment, and I mean the kind of layer that can be trained in steel. ”
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "That's fine, but at what price are you going to exchange rare earth minerals with us?" ”
Bao Zixuan: "$10,000 per ton, and the exchange with you is $9,000 per ton." ”
Rehhagel-Thyssen: "It's too expensive for us to accept. ”
Bao Zixuan: "You should know the fineness of these rare earths, and only I can provide them in the world." If Germany gets these resources, then will the industrial enterprises of other countries still be competitive, I think the only way for German companies to score them. And I can also promise you that the old equipment will also be exchanged for the price of the new equipment, provided that they can be used for more than 10 years. ”
In fact, this is also something that cannot be helped, and the current steel smelting capacity of Huaxia is really not good. Take Anshan Iron and Steel as an example, the largest steel company in China currently uses most of the equipment from the RB30s. At best, it is at the level of RB during World War II, which is already too far behind in the world, and such equipment is rarely used in Europe, even in Africa.
At this time, many people also admired the wisdom of the Chinese people, and it was with such equipment and industrial base that they built atomic bombs and nuclear submarines, which is unimaginable.
Most of the machinery and equipment of these three enterprises were built for Germany's national defense during the Cold War, mainly to provide raw materials for NATO countries nearby. But then it turned out that the Soviet Union was unstoppable, at least in Germany, and it certainly could not stop the torrent of Soviet steel. A lot of it was built and not used, which caused waste on a certain level, but who cares about these things in the moment of life and death like war. In addition, the general environment is not good, and there is an overall surplus of steel production in Europe, and there is almost no market.
All the countries of Europe are either steel giants themselves, or they are small and have little spending power. The market RB in Asia is very tightly controlled, and the steel production in the Americas is not low, and Africa can be said to be basically unnecessary.
Bao Zixuan seized this opportunity to come to Germany to negotiate, and he had absolute confidence.
