"Sorry for the mention of the Americans. I'm always excited. Recently, I have just made a lot of money from American stockholders, and it is inevitable that my mood will be more ups and downs, which is also human nature. Fan Wuxi shrugged his shoulders very innocently and apologized to Sheng Wei.
"Well, in addition to exploding foul language, Mr. Fan, these words you said are very vivid." Sheng Wei smiled and said.
Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei, "In the past, there were always people who said that there was oil in the Middle East and rare earths in China, which seemed to mean that China could be like the Middle East, by manipulating the price of rare earths to maximize the market supply and even threaten the politics of other countries, in fact, this is just wishful thinking." ”
"Why?" Sheng Wei tilted his head and asked, "Mr. Fan, you just told me so much about the importance of rare earths, is it a bit self-conscious to say that now?" It's a contradiction! ”
"The reason why I tell you that you can't be limited by government laws and regulations, but should be regulated by market behavior, is based on this starting point, and behavior that deviates from market behavior will always suffer from the backlash of the market mechanism." Fan Wuxian said to Sheng Wei.
"Give me an example." Sheng Wei asked.
"It's easy to say, like China's import of overseas iron ore," Fan Wuxian gave a typical example.
Although China accounts for about half of the world's crude steel production and about 60 percent of the world's total seaborne iron ore imports, China's efforts to control global iron ore prices have repeatedly hit a wall.
Look at it intuitively. China's dual position in the iron ore and rare earth markets is inevitable, because in the former market China is controlled by others, while in the latter China controls others. A closer look can also show that the reason why China is now able to control the world rare earth market is not enough to occupy the vast majority of the world's existing rare earth production, China's ability to control the global rare earth price is the key. With price control, China is likely to squeeze foreign rare earth manufacturers and thus control the world rare earth market.
It can be seen that if you want to control a market, controlling the price of this market is the key. At a time when global iron ore exports are highly concentrated in the hands of the three giants of Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Vale, China's desire to control iron ore prices is tantamount to seeking fish, which is why China has been slow to make iron ore form China's price.
"For the Chinese, if you rejoice that China can control the world rare earth market, you don't have to complain about the world iron ore market being controlled by the big three, the world is already full of all kinds of mutual constraints." Fan Wuxian said to Shengwei, "Judging from future experience, from the perspective of China's idea of restricting rare earth exports, which has not become a clear policy, China's control of the world rare earth market is also facing huge international resistance." If there is any inspiration from China's rare earth strategy for iron ore strategy, it is that if you can hold others in one aspect, you must also be prepared to be held by others in other aspects. In other words, in today's world, where the interests of various countries are intertwined, it is impossible for anyone to really hold on to others, or to be truly held by others. ”
Sheng Wei's interview with Fan Wuxian has finally come to an end, and there are some things that she has to go back to ponder carefully, and then sort them out and see them in the newspapers. Her heart is still quite shocked, and she also needs some time to carefully digest these contents, and strive to come up with a more insightful and simple feature article.
"Let's eat together, okay?" Fan Wuxi looked at the time and felt that it was time to eat, so he suggested to Sheng Wei.
"I wanted to, but I didn't dare." Sheng replied with a smile and a somewhat complicated expression.
"Why? I don't think I'm a monster, am I? Fan Wuxian was a little surprised.
The opportunity to eat with Fan Wuxi, but it is rare, he has always only eaten with friends, or with his family, but it is limited to a very small circle, and there are very few people who can get this opportunity among the media practitioners, Lao Chen, who used to be CCTV, has this qualification, and now he has to add a Sheng Wei, as for Ziqi, it should not be divided into outsiders.
"Of course you're not a monster, in fact your attraction to girls is irresistible." Sheng Wei packed up his things, put them in his backpack, and then took a group photo with Fan Wuxi, and finally said, "But you have to know." Married women are more susceptible to temptation, and married and divorced women are more likely to be tempted, I am worried that I can't help it, resulting in the friendship of this child friend is no longer there, and if we want to meet in the future, it will be embarrassing. ”
"Oh, I see." Fan Wuxian nodded.
In fact, what Sheng Wei said is not unreasonable, it is difficult for men and women to have real friends, they get along with each other well, and it is also a rare opportunity, if it is really because the things under the belt are not controlled, there is a little bit of trouble, and the two people do not have the opportunity to come together, it will bring endless regrets.
Now that's actually pretty good.
After Fan Wuxian sent Sheng Wei out, he came back to sign a bunch of documents, and received a call from Maximus, the old Jewish man had already arrived in Shanghai, and this time he was invited by Fan Wuxian to come to China to serve as the managing director of the newly formed aviation manufacturing group company.
In fact, in Fan Wuxi's previous contact with him, when he heard that he could be appointed to manage a large group of more than 200,000 people, the old man immediately became very excited, saying that even if he received a symbolic annual salary of one dollar, he would be willing to take up this position, after all, he could personally witness a great event in China's aviation manufacturing industry, which was indeed very attractive to Maximus, who had always liked to join in the fun.
Fan Wuxian personally drove to the airport and picked up the old man, while the rest of the entourage checked into the hotel in the city in the car driven by his subordinates.
"Dear Fan. When can I take office? Where is my large company located? Where are my 200,000 employees? The old Jewish man said to Fan Wuxian with excitement on his face.
"Uh-" Fan Wuxian snorted and said to the old man, "Dear Mark, the company is all over the country, the headquarters is currently in the process of site selection and construction, the base is in the western Lingxi Province, you will have time to see it in the future, as for the 200,000 employees, you can't expect me to get these 200,000 employees to Shanghai to meet you, right?" ”
"That's not going to be—" Maximus shook his head, "and it's so-so to be greeted by a few hundred people." ”
"If there are a few hundred people, these people in the headquarters are enough, if you are too few, you can ask Lao Xia to get some extras to come over, and ensure that everyone is full of emotions and enthusiasm." Fan Wuxian joked.
But jokes aside, at noon, in order to catch the wind and wash the dust for Maximus, Fan Wuxian still invited all the people who could be pulled out of the company's headquarters and came out for dinner together.
Just like this, there were more than 300 people who had lunch at noon, which made Fan Wuxian sigh with emotion, he usually didn't care much about the specific affairs of the company, but he didn't expect that he would now provide so many employment opportunities for domestic compatriots.
In fact, people at the company's headquarters rarely see Fan Wuxi. This time I got the opportunity, there were a lot of people who came to toast, Fan Wuxi also responded to the needs of these employees who worked tirelessly for their own careers, fortunately, they have already started a family, and the wine can also be drunk a little more, and the atmosphere in the banquet is very lively.
After a while, Fan Wuxi felt that he had drunk a little too much, and thought that if he continued like this, it would not be enough, so he had an idea and jumped directly on the stage next to him to perform to help the fun. grabbed the microphone, beckoned the old Jewish man to come over, and then grabbed the microphone and introduced to everyone, "Let me introduce to you, this is my old friend, Mr. Maximus, who has served as senior vice president of famous international companies such as Hughes, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin!" ”
The employees below also drank a lot, and immediately shouted and applauded to welcome them, which was very excited.
The old man's eyes swept around, and he felt a little dizzy, he didn't expect that there were so many people at a meal, this is still part of the staff working in the headquarters, when he really wants to face 200,000 employees, what kind of scene will it be?
However, it was obvious that Fan Wuxian had not finished speaking, he patted Maximus on the shoulder and said to everyone, "Mark is an American Jew, in his sixties, in order to help China's aviation manufacturing industry, he was invited by me to come to China. ”
"Mark just asked me for a $1 annual salary, and I was so impressed! What is the spirit of a foreigner, without self-interested motives, who regards the aviation career of the Chinese people as his own? This is the spirit of internationalism, this is the spirit of the world, this is the spirit that every Chinese employee should learn! Fan Wuxian continued to grab the microphone and improvise, "Our Fan's Investment Group is a large company, a large group company, and an international group company!" We must dig up outstanding talents from all capitalist countries, Japan, Britain, the United States, Germany, Italy, and all capitalist countries, so that we can carry forward our cause, which is the foundation of our business and the foundation for our Fan family to carry forward! ”
"Mark is a career executive, he makes a career out of executives, he strives for technical excellence, and he is very savvy in the business of the entire senior management team of large Western conglomerates. Once consistently sought after by major companies. This is also an excellent lesson for a group of people who see things differently, for a group of people who are only good at slapping horses to curry favor with leaders, and for those who despise technical work and think that there is no way out. Fan Wuxian clenched his fists and said, "Mark and I have known each other for many years and have cooperated a lot, and I am very happy to have him join." A person's ability is big or small, but as long as there is this spirit of dedication to the company's cause, he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from low-level interests, and a person who is beneficial to the company! ”
The people below applauded, but many people quietly bit their ears in private, "The boss seems to have drunk too much." ”
Maximus was very happy to listen to it at first, but after waiting for a while, he felt that something was not quite right, and looking at everyone's somewhat strange looks, he suddenly remembered something, so he grabbed Fan Wuxi's sleeve and asked, "Dear Fan, how is what you just said a little similar to the words in "In Memory of Bethune"?" ”
"Uh, really?" Fan Wuxi burped, scratched his head and said, "Probably, maybe?" ”
Maximoston rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that it was a good reception, so that Fan Wuxi's speech was a little nondescript, did he really look like a ** warrior? My one-dollar annual salary seems to be just talking!
There are no pop-ups
