Wang Zheyi told Qin Hai that her company, Yihai, has acquired and invested in more than a dozen small and medium-sized mining companies in South America over the years, and has also established business contacts with some other mining companies. If needed, she can use her own channels to supply 10 million to 20 million tons of iron ore to the country every year to make up for the loss of tearing up her face with Vale.

Qin Hai attached great importance to this, and told Wang Zheyi to start the operation of supplying iron ore to China as soon as possible, and the last phase of the agreement formed between China and Vale is still in the supply period, but it will end soon. Many domestic iron and steel companies have faced the threat of iron ore running out, and the supply of more than 10 million is only a drop in the bucket for the entire Chinese steel industry, but it is still better than nothing. If we can open up a few more ore sources, we can also greatly ease the tension in the country.

Bidding farewell to Wang Zheyi, Qin Hai boarded the plane with his group and returned to China. The members of the negotiation team were mentally prepared for the outcome of this negotiation, but when they really saw Vale's face, they still felt a deep sense of frustration. If the negotiation fails in a verbal war, everyone can accept it in their hearts, but the current situation is that the opponent has no interest in listening to you, or does not regard you as a negotiation object at all, and this feeling of aggrieved is the most devastating.

Qin Hai asked the team members to return to their units first, and he came to the Economic and Trade Commission to report to Cui Hongchun on the negotiations. Cui Hongchun listened to the whole process and sighed softly. said: "This is also expected, Xiao Qin, what are your plans for the next step?" ”

"Want to convince Vale at the negotiating table. is completely impossible. It is a basic rule that the weight at the negotiating table must come from outside the negotiation field. Qin Hai said.

"You're right, you have to be hard to strike iron, and if you don't have enough strength, it's impossible to make your opponent bow down." Cui Hongchun agreed.

Qin Haidao: "So, I gave Vale a one-month ultimatum, which actually created a one-month buffer period for ourselves. This month. We have to do something with great fanfare, even if it will take some time to actually achieve results, but at least to show Vale that we are determined. Thus shaking their resolve. ”

Cui Hongchun said: "Okay, you just let it go, and if you need any cooperation from the Economic and Trade Commission, you can just say it." We're going to do our best. But. You have to hurry, a month is just a blink of an eye, don't make it difficult for us to end up by then. ”

Qin Hai said with a smile: "Uncle Cui, don't worry, in fact, I had already arranged it before I went to Brazil, and now dozens of teams from our Daqin Group and the Iron and Steel Alliance are operating all over the world." Good news will come back soon. ”

"I knew that you, Xiao Qin, would not fight unprepared battles." Cui Hongchun also laughed easily.

Just when Qin Hai and Cui Hongchun were talking and laughing, Russia's Chita Prefecture, which is only across the river from China. ushered in a team of uninvited guests.

"Mr. Xie, my old friend, we haven't seen each other for several years, haven't we?"

A burly Russian man in a fur coat and as tall as a brown bear said exaggeratedly to a Chinese in his 50s who had just stepped off the train.

"Yes, Seryosha, I heard last year that you ran for governor of Chita Oblast, and I haven't had time to congratulate you yet!" The Chinese, known as Mr. Xie, warmly shook hands with the other party and replied with a smile.

"It's all because of you, Mr. Xie, and Mr. Qin. If it weren't for you guys helping me behind the scenes, I wouldn't have gotten such a high approval rating. The Russian man said with a big grin.

Mr. Xie patted the Russian man's hand and said, "Your personal charm is the most important thing, and the other is the trust of the residents of Chita Prefecture in the Chinese." ”

This Mr. Xie is Xie Qijin, a senior master who has been doing Sino-Russian trade many years ago, and that Seryosha is a relationship that Xie Qijin has developed in Chita. When Qin Hai came to Russia to dig up low-temperature steel experts, he once dealt with Seryosha. And the low-temperature steel authority he hired, Viktor Tsereteli, was Seryosha's father.

In the matter of Qin Hai's purchase of so-called "idle" equipment from the Chita Petroleum Machinery Complex, Seryosha played the role of a broker, and also earned a lot of money for it. After that, Seryosha simply resigned from his police post and became a comprador for Qin Hai, recruiting technical personnel for him in Chita Prefecture and several surrounding states, buying equipment at the price of scrap products, and selling China's light industrial products to the market in Chita Prefecture.

Through the cooperation with Qin Hai, Seryosha quickly rose to become an upstart in Chita Prefecture. Last year, he ran for governor of Chita and was elected by a large margin, completing his magnificent transformation from a gangster to a high-ranking politician. Others may not understand, but Seryosha himself knows very well that he was able to achieve these achievements entirely thanks to the support of Qin Hai and others, and the expenses of his campaign team and the second pot of wine he used to buy voters came from China. And the reason why many Chita people are willing to vote for him is that he claims that he can bring money from China to solve the serious unemployment problem in Chita.

This time, Qin Hai asked people to greet Seryosha and said that he would send a delegation to negotiate the import of scrap steel and the joint development of iron ore, Seryosha agreed, and on the day of the arrival of the Chinese delegation, he came to the station early with a few entourages to prepare to greet him.

Xie Qijin finished greeting Xie Liaosha and began to introduce the other people he had brought. The first person Xie Qijin introduced was Heizi, Xie Liaosha was even more excited when he saw Heizi than when he saw Xie Qijin, he clearly remembered that Heizi's alcohol consumption was extremely terrifying, and he was able to single-handedly pick up several Russian wine veterans. In Seryosha's mind, alcohol consumption is as much capital as wealth can earn respect.

"Mr. Fu, it's great that you're here, there are a few subordinates in my cabinet team who drink very well, and we must have a good discussion when the time comes." Seryosha took Kuroko's hand and said excitedly.

The next few are all technicians from Daqin Group, including steelmaking experts and mining experts, and they are not as lively as Xie Qijin and Heizi, shaking hands with Xie Liaosha and greeting each other in their own language.

After the two sides introduced each other, Xie Liaosha instructed his subordinates to call a bus and pulled Xie Qijin and his party to the hotel to stay. After simply settling down, Seryosha came to Xie Qijin's room alone, covered the door, and asked solemnly: "Mr. Xie, what are your specific plans for coming this time?" ”

"It was Mr. Qin who arranged for us to come over." Xie Qijin said, "We are in a big trouble right now, and we need your help. Mr. Qin said, after the matter is completed, he will not treat you badly. ”

"We are old friends, there is no need to say this kind of thing, I believe in Mr. Qin very much." Seryosha Road. After saying this, he changed his words and said: "However, there is one thing I have to say in front, after all, I have been elected governor now, so some things are being done, and the interests of Chita must be taken into account, otherwise I will not be able to explain to my voters in the future, I think Mr. Xie and Mr. Qin should also be able to understand." ”

Xie Qijin sneered in his heart, others don't understand Xie Liaosha's virtues, can he still not understand? This is a man who can sell himself for a little money, and now he is ashamed to say what he wants to explain to his voters, which is really ridiculous. However, since Xie Liaosha wants to pull this banner, it is inconvenient for Xie Qijin to break it, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin has already considered this problem, and he asked me to tell you that what he wants to do is definitely able to make China and Chita Prefecture achieve a win-win situation." If you do it well, you can even become the governor of Tsereteli. ”

Hearing Xie Qijin call himself Governor Tsereteli, Seryosha's face flushed, which was a sense of pride in returning home. He waved his hand hypocritically as a sign of modesty, and then asked, "Well, what exactly do you want me to do?" ”

"First," Xie Qijin raised a finger, "we hope to be able to import more than 20 million tons of scrap steel from Russia, can you help us do this?" ”

"It's not that hard." "The Chita steelmaking complex, which has been closed down for many years, has millions of tons of scrap in stock, and there are similar steel companies in several surrounding states. In addition, there are other factories that have closed down, and their machinery and equipment have also become scrap, and as long as people are arranged to collect them, there should be hope that 20 million tons will be gathered. ”

"That's great, we're willing to pay $5 per ton of steel, you see." Xie Qijin said.

"Haha, deal!" Xie Liaosha was overjoyed, raised his hand and patted Xie Qijin, indicating that he accepted Xie Qijin's offer. 20 million tons of steel, with a commission of $5 per ton, that's a whole $100 million in revenue. Of course, this money will not completely fall into Seryosha's pocket, after all, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to collect steel itself, and if necessary, it will also cost money to dredge some relationships. But even after deducting various expenses, Seryosha was able to net two or three million dollars in benefits, which was enough money for him to walk sideways throughout Siberia.

"The second thing is that Mr. Qin hopes to be able to acquire an iron ore mine in Chita as our long-term ore source." Xie Qijin continued.

"Are you talking about Dubias Iron Ore?" Seryosha put away the smile on his face and asked seriously. (To be continued......)
