Chapter 103: Ambition
But.
How could Tang Bao's most respected sister-in-law report to him in front of many subordinates, and he didn't need his sister-in-law to help him establish authority in this way.
Today.
He invited Tang Hui to the conference room of Fule Supermarket, but he didn't come to listen to her business report.
"Sister-in-law, you also know that I am going back to the United States soon, and the expansion of Fule Supermarket may encounter all kinds of troubles, and Mr. Fang may not be able to cope with them all. When the time comes, I hope you can take care of it a little......" Tang Bao looked at Tang Hui and said with a smile.
And then.
He looked at Fang Dekai again and said, "Mr. Fang, if there is any trouble that cannot be solved, you can just discuss it with my sister-in-law directly." With my sister-in-law coming forward, I believe that even if there is trouble, it can be solved smoothly. ”
"Then I'll thank Miss Tang in advance." Fang Dekai smiled and said, he also knew Tang Hui's identity, so he naturally knew that with Tang Hui coming forward, Fule Supermarket would have a lot less unnecessary trouble. Although the investment cooperation opportunities launched by Fule Supermarket have been widely welcomed, they are not a panacea, some people like it, and some people definitely don't like it...... In the Kyoto City area, because the Kyoto City Government was favored by Tang Bao and the influence of the Tang family, there were no signs of disadvantage. However, it is really difficult to say whether Fule Supermarket will expand to other cities so smoothly.
Originally.
When Fang Dekai expanded the outlets of the "7-Eleven" convenience store in the United States, he encountered various troubles, such as local protection, blackmail by local underworlds, and even difficulties and obstacles by some local officials, as well as competition from regional peers...... Wait a minute.
The business environment in China.
Fang Dekai's current scope of activities is limited to the city of Kyoto, so it is difficult to say whether he will encounter a similar predicament as the United States.
Meantime.
Fang Dekai thought that Tang Bao specially introduced his sister-in-law Tang Hui over, probably in order to prepare for various unknown difficulties in advance.
"You still don't need to say this, even if you don't mention it. If the Fuler supermarket really encounters difficulties, I have to take care of it. What's more, with the strength of Fule Supermarket, wherever you go to invest and expand, I am afraid that local government officials will raise their hands to welcome it, and if there are difficulties, the government will also help solve them. Your worries are completely unnecessary,......" Tang Hui said with a smile, now all over the country is trying to attract investment and develop the economy, and investors are very precious.
"Well, I hope so."
Tang Bao didn't refute either. He also hopes that his thoughts are unfounded, but he is prepared. Prepare in advance, and when something happens, you won't be in a hurry.
……
"Uh...... Sister-in-law, I haven't done a detailed plan for the tourism development project of the ancient city of the Republic of China, so there is no need to rush the renovation project. As for the other matters of the Tang Dynasty Construction Engineering Company, it is up to you to decide. I don't have anything to say, you just do what you want. Tang Bao said casually. After negotiating with Liu Mingyang. Tang Bao also went to Wutong Lane and Laoshan Street a few times and had a general understanding.
He already had an idea in his heart about how to plan and transform the ancient city of the Republic of China, but he wanted to form a complete planning map. It takes a long time. After all, his energy cannot be concentrated on a project, and he can only do design planning in his free time. What's more, he's not in a hurry!
"Okay."
Tang Hui smiled and nodded.
She really doesn't have any ideas about the tourism development of the ancient city of the Republic of China, and so far she is only responsible for redeeming or replacing those old mansions. Get the title to the old house. That's it.
……
"Nothing else?" After a while, Tang Hui asked. She felt as if these things could be explained at home. You don't have to come to a meeting at all.
Hear the words.
Tang Bao sat up slightly straighter and said, "Hmm." Sister-in-law, you may not know that I have set up a new five-star mining trading company. ”
"And then?"
"I haven't found the right manager yet, and I may need you to take care of it. Of course, if you want, I'll save you the trouble of finding a professional manager. Tang Bao didn't hide it either. Moreover, although the five-star mining trading company is only a newly registered shell enterprise, it has a qualification that has made countless investors blush, that is, the monopoly privilege of China's rare earth export trade.
Five-star mining trading company, relying on the government's rules and regulations, in the blink of an eye monopolized the domestic rare earth resources export trade market, at any time will stir the pattern of the international market, it is destined to become a high-profile star enterprise, will be concerned by investors from all over the world, and may even be given full attention to the governments of various countries. It's no longer a purely for-profit business......
So.
Tang Bao also preferred his sister-in-law to directly control the five-star mining trading company, and he didn't want to hand over this important enterprise to an unfamiliar manager. Of course, this is just an idea of his own, if the sister-in-law does not have the time and energy to manage, he will have to find a professional manager in the end.
"Hmm. Let's put it this way, sister-in-law, the Five Star Mining Trading Company is not a simple business, and it may be hectic for you to take over it, but the benefits are also obvious. It's even good for our Tang family. I'm sure Grandpa will be happy to see you take over! Tang Bao said solemnly.
"Oh?"
Tang Hui heard that the old man would support him, and he was immediately curious. She came out to do business alone, although the old man didn't speak, but she knew that the old man didn't like the children of the Tang family to come out and do business. She was very curious about what could motivate the old man to express his support for her business.
She didn't believe it......
"Don't sell it, just say what's so special about this five-star mining trading company?" Tang Hui thought for a moment without any clue, so he urged.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you would never have thought of it." Tang Bao said with a smile that his loan negotiations with the military were highly confidential. Even Tang Zhengxuan, the messenger, only vaguely understood that his son had borrowed a large amount of money to the military, and he didn't know anything about the specific amount and the conditions of the loan.
Not to mention Tang Hui, she didn't know that there was such a thing, how could she guess it.
"Just yesterday, the State Council issued a new document granting the Five Star Mining Trading Company a monopoly on the export trade of rare earth products. In other words, in the future, only five-star mining trading companies in China have assets to engage in the export trade of rare earth products, and other rare earth resource mining enterprises have no right to export rare earth products! Tang Bao announced.
Tang Hui said in surprise: "What? You're not kidding me......"
"Huh. Sister-in-law. Do you think I'm joking with you? Tang Bao asked with a smile, no wonder Tang Hui was shocked, it was like a dream to obtain the franchise of a certain product privately. Only the government has issued a document to grant state-owned enterprises a franchise, and as for the granting of private franchise privileges, she really has never heard of it.
But.
The facts are in front of him, and Tang Bao has obtained the franchise privilege granted by the government. It is also a monopoly on the export trade of mineral products.
"What the hell is going on?" Tang Hui asked.
"Hmm. Sister-in-law, it's hard for me to explain the specific situation. Anyway, it has something to do with Director Ding of the System Reform Commission, probably to thank me for my contribution to supporting the reform of Shougang's joint-stock system promoted by him. I was given this franchise privilege. It's a good thing anyway! ”
At this time.
Tang Bao naturally couldn't tell his sister-in-law the real situation, so he could only use the government's excuse to explain it, so as to explain his doubts to the outside world.
The five-star mining trading company is destined to be extraordinary, and sooner or later someone will come to reveal the truth. The sooner he released the smokescreen, he could also cover up the truth.
"In the future, the rare earth products mined and smelted by domestic mining enterprises can only be sold to five-star mining companies in addition to domestic sales."
"Hiss......"
Tang Hui couldn't help but gasp, imagining in her mind that Five Star Mining would buy rare earths at a low price. And then the scene of selling abroad at a high price is hugely profitable.
But.
Tang Bao's next words interrupted Tang Hui's fantasy: "Sister-in-law, there are also conditions for getting authorization. First of all, the purchase price of the five-star mining trading company from the domestic mining enterprises shall not be lower than the market price, that is to say, we purchase rare earths from domestic mining enterprises, and the price must be in line with the international market price. ”
"Oh."
Tang Hui nodded understandingly. is also thinking too much, how can the country sit back and watch her monopolize rare earth products at low prices to squeeze benefits.
But.
From her point of view, Five Star Mining Trading Company has obtained the exclusive right to export rare earths. Even if you can't be "lawless", there is still a lot to be done.
"Sister-in-law, maybe you still don't know the preciousness of rare earth resources. The United States, the Soviet Union, and our country are all large rare earth reserves, and at present, the United States and the Soviet Union control most of the world's rare earth market, China's rare earth export trade is much inferior, but we also have our own advantages. That is, the mining cost is low, and the low-price strategy can be used to seize or even dominate the rare earth trade market......"
"I don't know anything about the uses and output of rare earths." Tang Hui said, "Listen to what you mean, our country's rare earth resources should have great export potential in the international market." Are you planning to use a low-price strategy to compete with rare earth producers in the United States and the Soviet Union? ”
"Not bad. The ultimate goal is to squeeze all competitors out of this market, and the goal of Five Star Mining Trading Company is to dominate the global rare earth export trade market! For this, no expense will be spared. Tang Bao said excitedly. In the previous life, China's rare earths were because of disorderly mining between enterprises, the supply was greater than the demand, and everyone lowered the price of each other for the sake of interests, unconsciously defeated the rare earth miners of the United States and the Soviet Union, and occupied the global rare earth export market, but there were frequent internal struggles, and they failed to give full play to the advantages of this high degree of monopoly.
Tang Bao's goal is clear, that is, to quickly squeeze the opponent with low prices, occupy the rare earth export market, and then ...... It is to increase prices and slowly compress supply, in short, through a series of means, to establish an absolute voice in the rare earth export trade market.
Then.
The country will also benefit......
Listening to Tang Bao's grand goal, Tang Hui couldn't help but look forward to it, she finally understood why Tang Bao would say that the old man would also support her in taking charge of the five-star mining trading company. There is only one reason, once the five-star mining trading company controls most of the rare earth export trade market, it will form a strong influence in the world, and may not only have a commercial influence, but also may involve the country's diplomatic and political games...... And she controls the five-star mining industry and is the core child of the Tang family, so Tang Bao will gain unimaginable influence in China.
"Good. I'm going to take over the company! ”
After Tang Hui thought about the potential benefits that the Five Star Mining Trading Company would give to the Tang family, she accepted the appointment without hesitation. The old man has been retired for too long, his influence is gradually eroding, and the Tang family has shown a lack of succession, and it is indeed very much in need of something new to re-consolidate the position of the Tang family.
I believe that the old man will also support it!
……
The sister-in-law Tang Hui accepted the appointment, and the meeting ended.
On the way home.
Tang Bao took out another plan and handed it to his sister-in-law, and said, "Sister-in-law, these are some of my thoughts on the operation of the five-star mining trading company, you can refer to it." Before, in front of many Fule supermarket employees, he did not elaborate. After all, many of the top executives of the Fuller supermarket are Americans, and he can't guarantee that everyone can keep it a secret. So, I just mentioned some superficial things.
The real big stuff can be written in the plan.
Hiss.
After flipping through a few pages, Tang Huidi couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, she was stunned by Tang Bao's ambition...... (To be continued......)
