Feng Xiaochen did not tell Luo Xiangfei what he planned to do, he said that he already had a preliminary idea about this matter, but he had not yet considered it mature, and he needed to know more about the situation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen had enough tacit understanding, and when he didn't want to say, he didn't ask, just said when Feng Xiaochen was mature and came to communicate with him.

As a matter of fact, some of the more than 200 unemployed young people in the Economic Commission have been at home for several years, and the leaders are not in a hurry to solve this problem in this month's time. Since Feng Xiaochen said that he wanted to think about it, Luo Xiangfei also let him go.

In the weeks that followed, Feng Xiaochen was too busy to keep his feet on the ground. Because Feng Shuyi called him for a long distance across the ocean, saying that he would visit China at the end of March, and that he would bring a few German businessmen with him. Before Feng Shuyi arrived, Feng Xiaochen had too much preparation to do.

"Xiaochen, I see you again!"

At the Capital Airport, Feng Shuyi, who was dressed brightly, pushed a full luggage cart out of the waiting hall and met Feng Xiaochen who came to greet her. The German aunt threw down the luggage cart, strode forward, and gave Feng Xiaochen another hug without saying anything, and immediately made the other pick-ups who came with Feng Xiaochen very angry.

"Auntie, this is China, didn't the third uncle teach you what it means to follow the customs?"

After Feng Xiaochen generously accepted the hug, he pretended to be embarrassed and criticized Feng Shuyi. He had already seen that this aunt was purely trying to trick herself, and she knew that the Chinese were conservative back then, so she deliberately did this to tease Feng Xiaochen. In this case, the more embarrassed Feng Xiaochen was, the happier she was.

Feng Shuyi Gege smiled, feeling proud that her prank had succeeded, she turned around and beckoned the three German men who came over, pointed to two of them and said to Feng Xiaochen, "Xiaochen, let me introduce you." These two are employees of the German company Grani Building Materials, this is Mr. Alkan, the company's marketing manager, and this is Mr. Dampier, the quality inspector, and they have come specially for the decorative stone of the cold water mine you mentioned. ”

"Hello, welcome to China!"

Feng Xiaochen greeted the two Grani employees in German, and then introduced them to Yan Fusheng and Chang Min, who had come with him to pick them up. Yan Fusheng and Chang Min hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with each other.

Feng Shuyi came to China this time with two responsibilities. The first was to take the personnel of the two building materials companies to the Lengshui mine to inspect the granite materials on the spot at Feng Xiaochen's request and determine the import of granite materials from China.

Prior to this, Feng Xiaochen had already had a technical appraisal of the granite of the cold-water mine and sent the identification materials to Feng Shuyi. Feng Shuyi approached Grani and asked them to study the identification materials. As Feng predicted, Grani's technicians and marketers were quick to find the material and said they would be more than willing to import the stone from China and sell it throughout Europe if the information was true.

Building stone has never been afraid of a variety of patterns. Architects and ordinary people alike like to experiment with new materials to show their difference. The granite of the cold water mine is of good quality and meets the strictest environmental standards in Europe, so it is natural that it can win the favor of the construction industry. At that time, there was almost no stone from China on the German market, and this gimmick alone was enough to make Grani want to try it.

Of course, there is a more important reason, and that is the price!

When he was in the Lengshui mine, Feng Xiaochen studied the pricing of stone with Pan Caishan and others. Initially, Pan Caishan calculated that a 600-millimeter-square, 20-millimeter-thick polished plate could be sold for 2 yuan each, so that the stone factory could not only afford to pay the wages of all the unemployed youth, but also make a small profit.

Feng Xiaochen recalled the sales data of building stone in the cold water mine in later generations, and combined with the price changes and exchange rate changes in China in the next few decades, he took a pen and calculated for a long time, and felt that this price seemed to be too low. He asked Lengshui Mine to open a letter of introduction, and then went to the city's post and telecommunications office to make a long-distance call to Feng Shuyi, who was far away in Germany, and then came back to tell Pan Caishan and the others that their offer could be higher, at least five times higher.

As soon as this number came out, everyone was immediately stunned. Multiply by five times, that is, each piece of stone can be sold for 10 yuan, isn't this the rhythm of grabbing money? According to the volume, 1 cubic meter of stone is almost 1400 yuan, or more than 800 US dollars, when can the stone be sold more expensive than ore?

In fact, Pan Caishan and the others really thought wrong, the high-quality granite in this world is much more expensive than iron ore. Not all granite can be used as building stone, and in the granite that can be used as building stone, it is divided into several grades, and the granite of the cold water mine belongs to the high-grade category. In addition, there is nothing particular about the mining of iron ore, just blow it up with explosives and then dig it out with a large electric shovel. Granite, which is used as a building material, needs to be mined in whole pieces, and then processed, such as cutting and polishing, and the loss of leftovers must be calculated, which is also included in the cost.

In those days, the Chinese did not have such luxury and rarely used stone as a building material, so stone was worthless in the eyes of people.

The situation in the European market is different, on the one hand, the large amount of stone used in construction has raised the price, and on the other hand, the cost of labor and environmental protection is very high, so the price of high-quality stone is expensive. Even if this price is five times that times, in the eyes of Graney, it is still surprisingly cheap, and they can still make double the profit steadily after calculating the cost of shipping and the commission paid to Feng Shuyi in private. Of course, the premise is that these stones can really meet the quality indicators mentioned by Feng Xiaochen, especially the radiation dose and color, which have a significant impact on the price.

Of course, in later generations of China, every household will use some stone to decorate a new home, and a natural stone countertop can also be sold for thousands of yuan. If Pan Caishan and the others were also traversers, they would not be surprised by the price quoted by Feng Xiaochen now.

With half-belief, Lengshui Mine sent Yan Fusheng to the capital to meet the technicians of the Grani Company. The Metallurgical Bureau also attached great importance to this matter, and sent Chang Min to accompany him to the airport to pick up the airport with Feng Xiaochen. On the way from the Metallurgical Bureau to the airport, Yan Fusheng muttered more than 20 times, saying that the price should be a little more conservative and not too high, so as not to scare customers away. Chang Min has seen some of the world, and knows that the Germans are rich, although she doesn't quite believe that the price of stone can be sold so high, but she still stands on Feng Xiaochen's side, saying that she might as well try it at a high price first, the other party really thinks that the price is too high, and she can bargain again.

The German translator sent by Lengshui Mine was on the side to translate for Yan Fusheng and Chang Min, so that the two sides could communicate smoothly. There is a lot of imported equipment in the cold water mine, and there are often technicians from foreign equipment manufacturers to help with technical guidance or maintenance work, so they have their own foreign language translation, so there is no need to trouble Feng Xiaochen to do the translation.

Yan Fusheng had been repeatedly advised by Feng Xiaochen in advance, so that he was not allowed to show the slightest tone in the cost and price of the stone, nor was he allowed to appear too polite in front of foreign businessmen, so as not to fall into his ambition and affect the negotiation. He is also an old man, although he does not understand cross-border trade, but he still has experience in doing business in China, so he forced himself to pretend to be reserved, and only talked about the weather and friendship with Alkan and others, and did not mention the sale of stone.

On the other side, Feng Shuyi was introducing Feng Xiaochen to the third companion she had brought, a person named Peman, who claimed to be a special commissioner of the German Philo Metal Processing Company, who had made a special trip to Nam Giang Province to inspect the joint venture. His face was serious, and even when he shook hands with Feng Xiaochen, the smile on his face was rigid and blunt, showing the rigor unique to the legendary Germans.

Feng Xiaochen spoke a few words with Pehmann in German, basically just thanking Philo for coming to invest in China, hoping that Pehmann would have a pleasant trip in China.

After greeting Alkan and the others, Chang Min also came over to shake Peman's hand. Regarding Peman's mission, Chang Min has already heard Luo Xiangfei explain. The purpose of Peiman's trip has nothing to do with the Metallurgical Bureau, and it is purely Feng Xiaochen's private matter. However, the introduction of foreign capital is a national policy, and Chang Min is not only a leader of Feng Xiaochen, but also a national cadre.

"Mr. Peman, you are very welcome to invest in China, the Chinese government attaches great importance to foreign investment, and will give investors non-discriminatory treatment and necessary care, please rest assured. Chang Min said politely.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Chang, I think the cooperation between our company and my Chinese friends will be very pleasant. Peman replied in a stiff tone.

After their respective greetings, Chang Min beckoned everyone out of the airport hall, got on the minibus they drove, and went to the Beijing Hotel, which is dedicated to receiving foreign guests.

After arriving at the hotel, Yan Fusheng, Chang Min and their entourage could not go in again, and the foreign guests came from afar, so they must have to rest first, what reason did they have to disturb? Feng Xiaochen stayed under the pretext of accompanying his aunt. After completing the check-in procedures and putting down things in the room, Feng Shuyi called Peiman's room, and Peiman immediately ran over, and as soon as he entered the door, he gave Feng Xiaochen a chest hug with a spring breeze on his face:

"Dear boss, Peman is always at your disposal. (To be continued.) )
