Chapter 1192: Cool Them (Third Watch, Third Watch)
"15%, 200 million dollars?!" Plum. Iacocca exclaimed, "Are you planning to rob?!" I didn't say it, but it didn't matter, the meaning was clearly written on my face.
"Up to 15 percent, minimum $200 million." Lin Hongfei corrected Li. Iacocca's mistake, "It's not the lowest 15%, the highest is $200 million." ”
Listening to Lin Hongfei say this, Li. Iacocca was completely speechless: this guy is not the one who opened the black shop, but the ancestor who opened the black shop! Americans are already black enough, but in his opinion, Lin Hongfei, this kid is ten times darker than the Americans combined! "There's no way they're going to say yes......"
These words are made by Lee. Iacocca almost groaned.
"No, they will definitely agree, even if my conditions are a little harsher, they will agree," and Li. Iacocca is different, Lin Hongfei is particularly confident, "Lao Li, do you know the Tao, not counting our country's titanium production enterprises, the main enterprises in the world of titanium and its alloy processing are the United States Timet Company, RMI Company, Russia's VSMPO Company, Japan's Kobe Steel and Sumitomo Company, these major enterprises all have close relations with the world's top defense contractors, but also the government and the military guests, and the annual output of titanium alloy of these major enterprises is only 23,000 tons... … The total global output is 25,000 tons, and another 2,000 tons are produced by our country. Timet, RTI, and ATI are the only customers of titanium and titanium alloy products? ”
Plum. Iacoca, of course, knew that he had done his homework before he came.
Last year, the total output of titanium alloys in the United States was only 12,000 tons, the largest titanium alloy manufacturer in the United States, Timet Company, produced only 9,370 tons last year, and the total output of the remaining two companies, RTI Active Metals Industries and ATI Allegheny Technology, combined was about 2,700 tons.
Russia and Japan aside, let's just talk about the United States. Timet and RMI Reactive Metals Industries are the two largest titanium and titanium alloy companies in the United States.
As the largest titanium and titanium alloy manufacturer in the United States and the world, let's take a look at the companies that have signed long-term cooperation agreements with Timet: Boeing, MacDonald. Douglas, Airbus, Lockheed. Martin & Co., Pratt. Whitney, Pratt. Whitney Canada, General Electric, Northrop. Grumman, Rawls. Luo Company, United Technology Co., Ltd. (UTC, Pu. Benefiting related companies), Snakma of France, Wiman. Golden Forging Co., Ltd., German MTU Company, Allison Engine Company...... There are many, all of them are top defense contractors in or related to the United States.
The second largest manufacturer of titanium and titanium alloys: RMI Active Metals Industries' parent company is RTI International Metals Co., Ltd., which is also similar to Timet, and its products are mainly supplied to General Electric, Rolls. Royce and Pratt. Whitney, Boeing, Airbus and McDonald. Douglas & Co. ......
To a certain extent, it can be said that Timet and RTI support the backbone of American defense companies and aviation companies, and naturally, these two companies enjoy various privileges in all walks of life in the United States.
Now Lin Hongfei is going to build a 10,000-ton titanium alloy production enterprise. And the product is also for aviation TI6-A1-4V titanium alloy, RTI Active Metals Industries and ATI Allegheny Technology Company is okay, their original output is not high, but this also means that Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a company from the Republic of China, will surpass Timet and become the largest titanium and titanium alloy manufacturer in the United States. RTI and ATI are okay, where do you put Timet's face?
"So. Hongfei. Do you need to think about this carefully? "Lee. Iacocca persuaded bitterly, "Your asking price is really too high. ”
"Don't worry, this price is not high at all, Lao Li. You have to believe me, they make a lot of money at this price," Lin Hongfei ignored Li. The "kind" in Iacoca's tone said to him. "Tell them that if they want to talk to me, come to me."
"Coming to you?" Plum. Iacocca didn't expect to get such an answer, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Come to your country?" ”
"Of course!" Lin Hongfei couldn't help but roll his eyes. It was impossible for Iacocca to see it, "Lao Li, are you mistaken, they are begging me, they didn't take the initiative to come to me, do you want me to come to the door and beg them?" ”
These words are really full of arrogance.
"But ......"
Plum. Iacocca wanted to say something, but Lin Hongfei didn't give him a chance, "Lao Li, we are friends, since we are friends, you have done everything you have to do, and the rest is a business matter, so you don't want to mix it, okay?" ”
Plum. Akoka was silent.
There is a saying in the United States, called "friends to friends, business to business", even if two people are friends, but if there is a conflict in business, it does not prevent them from possibly beating you to the death in the shopping mall, but it also does not prevent them from being good friends in private, as friends, they have fulfilled the responsibility of passing on the word, and they have also received a positive answer from Lin Hongfei, which is enough, as for what Timet company, RTI company and Lin Hongfei will talk about, and what does it have to do with themselves?
Thinking about this, Lee. Iacocca knew what to do. He took a deep breath, "Lin, thank you for your reminder...... After a pause, he added, "I hope you can make a lot of money this time!" ”
"Xie Lu Xie, I won't miss this opportunity." Boss Lin unceremoniously accepted Li. Iacoca's flattery.
……………………
The other party quickly got in touch with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., as Lin Hongfei expected, this time entrusted Li. Iacocca is in contact with no one else, but the United States, which is also the world's largest manufacturer of titanium and titanium alloys: Timet.
But in Lin Hongfei's opinion, there is one thing that Timet Company has done very badly, and he dares to ask the young master with an arrogant face to go to the United States to talk to them!
"Boss, how do you reply to them?" Looking at his boss's boss who seemed to have turbulent waves lurking under his calm, Cao Jun asked in horror.
"Tell them that either they will come to our country and talk to us, or we will talk directly to Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, General Electric, Pratt. Whitney, Rawls. Royce, Northrop. Grumman and other traditional customers talk to ...... Anyway, our customers are mainly these companies. Lin Hongfei, who held a good hand of cards in his hand, was not afraid of the threat of Timet, and the old god commanded Cao Jun.
Is it really okay for the boss to do this? Doesn't it really annoy the Timet company and the Americans? When Cao Jun went down, he still had this question in his heart......
————————————————————————
Lin Hongfei didn't have the heart to care about how the Timet company that got his reply was like thunder, he arranged the work at hand, and immediately drove out...... Today, the renovation of his wedding room in the capital has finally been completed, which is a big deal, and in Lin Hongfei's heart, this matter is much more important than negotiating with Timet.
When I drove to the newly renovated courtyard, Dongfang Xiaoling and Yang Lili were standing in the courtyard, the two didn't know what interesting things Lu Dao was talking about, the two laughed together, and heard the familiar footsteps behind them, Dongfang Xiaoling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked a few steps to meet her, and said happily, "Hongfei, are you here?" Didn't you miss work? ”
"Work can be done at any time, this is our wedding room, and we can't delay." Lin Hongfei said with a smile.
Dongfang Xiaoling's heart was overjoyed, but in front of outsiders, the girl was still a little embarrassed, "Just your mouth will coax people." ”
"I hope that our family can be as good at coaxing people as Hongfei, but if you want to hear a nice word from our family's mouth, it is even more difficult than killing him," Yang Lili joked to Dongfang Xiaoling half jokingly and half envy, and after speaking, she turned her head to show off to Lin Hongfei, "How about it, Hongfei, sister, I did a beautiful job, right?" Didn't disgrace you, did you? ”
"Xie Lu Xie, Sister Lili, I'm bothering you for a while." Lin Hongfei nodded to Yang Lili sincerely, his quadrangle is a set of three-entry courtyards, and he has two sets of bigger ones, but in Lin Hongfei's opinion, the kind of five-entry courtyard is really a little too big for himself and Dongfang Xiaoling, there are only two of them in it, even if there are children and nannies in the future, it is empty and deserted.
"That's polite, isn't it?" Yang Lili said this, but looking at the beautiful courtyard that was cleaned up, and the perfect combination of national style and comfort was achieved as much as possible while retaining the original characteristics of the courtyard, the envy in her eyes couldn't help it, "Hongfei, I understand why you must let me and Chengguo buy you a courtyard house for you, even if you spend a lot of money, look at this courtyard, this is called a home...... Sister, I look at your house and buy a small yard, how about taking the time to design it for my sister? (To be continued......)
