Chapter 50 Pre-purchase of wolframite
The two chatted for a while and introduced each other, it turned out that the middle-aged man was named Wei Ming, a native of Persimmon Zhuyuan, and opened a company specializing in "reselling" ore with two friends, called Tianshui Mining.
The so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to draft the water, Wei Ming's two friends knew that he was from Persimmon Bamboo Garden, and came up with the idea of reselling the ore.
Although Wei Ming has a good network in Persimmon Zhuyuan, the competition in Persimmon Zhuyuan is too great, and there are too many big mining enterprise owners, so they can only collect loose ore in recent years, deal with some private mine owners, provide some ore blending to smelters, and do tepid business.
"Brother Wei, if I want to get wolframite, how much can you get for me?" Knowing that wolframite is not easy to get now, Zhang Yi asked casually.
"How much can Brother Zhang eat?" Wei Ming took out a pack of hard-shelled Yellow Crane Towers from his pocket, took out two and handed them to Zhang Yi and Liu Rui, and asked rhetorically.
Zhang Yi stretched out his hand to take it, put it on his nose and sniffed, he actually didn't smoke, but people handed it over, and the relationship could be closer, and it was no problem to smoke a few puffs.
Liu Rui didn't smoke either, waved his hand and refused Wei Ming's kindness, Wei Ming didn't mind, he took the lighter and lit it directly, and then lit it for Zhang Yi as well.
"Brother Wei, my second uncle opened a smelter, which is in the QS area of Jiangcheng City, and the amount needed is quite a lot, and now the wolframite mine is almost out of production, can you get the mine?" Zhang Yi said lightly.
Wei Mingxin said that he was still a Yanei, no wonder he was able to come to this place to buy mines, usually he came down to buy mines, but it was a fat difference, who in the enterprise did not fight for the scalp, this errand can make a lot of oil and water.
Liu Rui was stunned when he heard it next to him, when Zhang Yi's second uncle opened a smelter, why hadn't he heard of it beforehand.
"It's absolutely okay to have a large amount, but if the amount is small, it can't be guaranteed, brother, you also know the difficulty, it's impossible for people to give you hundreds of tons of mine to start a special equipment. Wei Ming said.
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "I know this." ”
In fact, Zhang Yi also has an idea in his heart, and he is aiming at the millions of tons of wolframite reserves in the entire persimmon bamboo garden.
The task of coming to Persimmon Bamboo Garden this time is to get some samples back for experiments, which does not need a lot, 1 ton is enough.
But since the equipment of the mine has stopped working, people will not get 1 ton for you, unless the mine needs a large amount of mine.
Zhang Yi's statement that smelters need wolframite is not just talking.
After the sulfuric acid residue is treated, it is used as a raw material for the production of steel, and the smelter can be remodeled to produce it.
However, the production of ordinary steel is completely uncompetitive, and other steel mills already have a very complete production line, and the business model is also very mature.
If you want to seize the market and get a piece of the pie with large steel companies, it is completely impossible to rely on the production of ordinary steel, and there is only one way to make money.
That is the production of special steel, tungsten as a metal element most commonly added to special steel, can enhance the properties of steel.
Tungsten steel has a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., especially its high hardness and wear resistance, which remains basically unchanged even at a temperature of 500 °C, and still has a high hardness at 1000 °C.
"Brother, our smelter has an annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons, and wolframite ore has to be tens of thousands of tons a year, only one mine is afraid that it will not be supplied, we don't want to produce it, the ore supply is still insufficient, and if the production is stopped halfway, the loss is not small. Zhang Yi said.
Wei Ming was happy in his heart, this is a big order, some steel mills also produce a small amount of tungsten steel, but the quality of tungsten ore is not good, and the quality of the steel produced is not good, and finally it is barely used as construction steel.
The demand for a person like Zhang Yi is not small, and if he can do it, he can make a lot of money.
Liu Rui shook his head when he heard it, Zhang Yi didn't look at the object of bragging, when the time comes, people will really get you tens of thousands of tons of wolframite, see what you do.
Wei Ming said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, if you really need tens of thousands of tons, then it's easy to say, this package is on me, and I will definitely get it for you." ”
"Then brother, can you get me a few tons to try first, as for the wolframite mine of Chenzhou Mining, I came here this time with a task, and I can't pay the difference if I want to go back empty-handed." Zhang Yi changed his words, although he wanted to buy a large amount of wolframite for the smelter, but the most important thing at the moment was to get the ore samples needed by the laboratory immediately.
But worried that Wei Ming would refuse, Zhang Yi continued: "These tons of wolframite can be sent to the Qingshan Smelter in Jiangcheng for me, as long as there is no problem, we will sign the contract at that time, and I can pay you a deposit of 1 million first." ”
The ore needed by the smelter is tens of thousands of tons a year, and Chenzhou Mining doesn't know if it can be supplied, so it is not impossible to hand it over to Wei Ming, as long as it is at the market price.
Now the matter is urgent, when the tungsten and molybdenum separation project was signed, there was a start-up capital of 3 million, and Zhang Yi, as the project leader, took out 1 million to use it first.
Not only can you get the ore sample first to solve the urgent needs of the laboratory, but also pay a deposit for the wolframite needed by the smelter, which is the best of both worlds.
Wei Ming frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, your few tons of ore have given me a problem. ”
"Brother, you have great powers, this little thing is not difficult for you. "Old God Zhang Yi is in the tunnel.
Zhang Yi's deposit of 1 million has been put on the surface, it depends on how Wei Ming chooses, like him, who specializes in eating and reselling ores, and if he doesn't have a wide range of contacts, he can't do business.
Zhang Yi believes that Wei Ming has this ability, but if he wants to do this, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort.
Wei Ming took a hard puff of his cigarette, spit out a large smoke ring, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Brother Zhang, can you give me a while?"
Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "I only have 3 days, and I must leave for Jiangcheng within 3 days." ”
This time and again, it will take almost 2 days on the road, and Zhang Yi will take 5 days on this trip, he has to reserve a little time for himself, otherwise if something happens, the experiment will have to be interrupted.
If Wei Ming can't talk about it, then Zhang Yi will talk to someone else, or directly talk to Boss Chen, in short, he must get this matter done as soon as possible.
After Wei Ming thought for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll get it done for my brother in 3 days, and the two brothers will stay in my office building for one night tonight, I have a room there, and I don't need to find a place to live." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yi knew that the matter had settled, and said happily: "This will trouble Brother Wei." ”
"Haha, Brother Zhang doesn't need to be polite, since it is cooperation, then I will definitely do my best to do it well. Wei Ming replied with a smile.
The Persimmon Zhuyuan mining area is close to a small town, and many companies have offices in the town, so in order to ensure smooth cooperation, Zhang Yi naturally wanted to go to Wei Ming's office to have a look.
And it will take a day to come to this place, and you can only find a small hotel in the town to stay for one night, if Wei Ming is okay here, Zhang Yi and Liu Rui can stay with him for one night.
