Chapter 404, do OEM first
In a conference room at the headquarters of Shagang Group.
"Mr. Shan, our space smelting plant will be completed next month, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Xu Aiguo, the financial director of Shagang Group, is also an old man left over from the era of Shan Ying's grandfather, and he now feels that the burden on his shoulders is much looser.
Shagang Group invested all its own funds, which took nearly 2 years, and finally built a space smelting plant in space.
In the past two years, as the company's finance, Xu Aiguo has really worked hard to build a space smelting plant in space, and the funds spent are unbelievable, and billions or tens of billions of dollars have been invested casually.
Although Shagang Group is one of the parts suppliers of Galaxy Technology Group, and makes money by supplying parts to Galaxy Technology Group, the construction of the space smelting plant still consumes the group's funds cleanly.
Even once cut off the group's capital chain, Shan Ying had to beg his grandfather and grandmother to raise funds, and finally even the employees in the company were moved by Shan Ying's words, and everyone invested more or less hundreds of thousands or millions into the company, which has barely been supported until now.
The space smelting plant is about to be completed, and there will be less money to use in the future, and the funds will be more abundant, and his finances will be easier.
"It's still early, the space smelting plant is being built, but we don't know where to raise the money to buy asteroids, any asteroid is worth hundreds of billions, and it's not enough to sell our group."
Shan Ying smiled and shook his head and said.
In fact, he is also sad now, the space smelting plant has been built, and he sees that it will be officially put into use next month, but he doesn't know where the money to buy the asteroid will come from.
"We don't need to buy asteroids, we can smelt asteroids for others."
Fang Sixian, who has always been wise, thought about it and said.
"Now the people who have spaceships and can mine asteroids are very powerful consortia or simply countries, and these people mine asteroids not only to sell asteroids for profit, but also value the resources of asteroids."
"The space industry is very hot, there are many places where steel is needed, and the price of steel has risen by 2 times, especially the steel in space."
"Now in space, the only factory that can smelt asteroids is the factory of Galaxy Technology Group, and our space smelting plant will start next month, which is the second."
"As for the other space smelting plants, they are still under construction, and there are at least a few months left before they are put into operation, which is enough time for us to make a good profit."
Fang Sixian is really a talent, and all aspects have been investigated very clearly.
"As far as I know, Galaxy Technology Group processes and smelts asteroids, and according to the quality, the cost of 100 million tons of asteroids is about 50 billion yuan for processing and smelting, that is to say, the smelting cost of one ton of smelting asteroids is about 500 yuan."
"The speed at which the space smelter smelts asteroids is very fast, and it doesn't take long to smelt an asteroid with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons, and the cost is very low and the efficiency is very high."
"But even so, Galaxy Technology Group doesn't seem to have much interest in smelting asteroids for people, they are more interested in directly buying asteroids and then smelting steel for their own use."
"Because Galaxy Technology Group is starting to build the second Dragon's Nest Space Factory, the first Dragon's Nest Space Industry is also in full swing, and more than a dozen spaceships are being built at the same time, and the demand for steel is very strong."
When everyone heard Fang Sixian's words, their eyes suddenly lit up, they were still worried about the money to buy asteroids, but now they don't have to worry at all, they can do OEM, help others smelt asteroids, and make money.
"Of course, after all, these people only make a little hard money by smelting asteroids, and the most profitable thing is to buy asteroids, and it is more profitable to smelt and sell steel by themselves."
"Now the demand for steel in space is very strong in the world, and the rising price of steel is enough to show this, and now some mining groups on the moon have begun to mine iron ore, which was unprofitable before, but now it is different."
Fang Sixian also played out the data he had collected and sorted out while talking.
"And I estimate that in the next few years, the demand for steel in space will explode, and Galaxy Technology Group is said to be working on a small spaceship."
"This kind of small spaceship is called a Miron-class spaceship, and the Miron-class spacecraft is different from the Qinglong-class spaceship, its thrust is much smaller, and it can only drag an asteroid with a mass of several million tons."
"But it's also very cheap, and when the time comes, as soon as the Miron-class spacecraft comes out, I estimate that there will be a lot of people going to mine asteroids, and once that happens, our business will be very busy."
For the future, Fang Sixian is very optimistic, and he also sees the arrival of a new era in the steel industry.
"Back in the day, our space smelting plant is still a month away, and we have to start looking for business now."
"But I think we can actually not rush at all, because I believe that someone will definitely take the initiative to find us."
Then Fang Sixian was very confident in his conclusion.
"Are you so sure?"
Jiang Tao, the technical director of Shagang Group, said with some disbelieving.
"Of course, because that's the way it is."
"Our space smelting plant is the second space smelting plant in all of space, and someone will definitely ask us to cooperate."
Fang Sixian said confidently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Ying's secretary walked in and said, "Mr. Shan, there are Japanese people to visit." ”
"Japanese?"
When Shan Ying heard this, her eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Business has come to the door." ”
……
In the reception room of the headquarters building of Shagang Group, Shan Ying took Fang Sixian, Xu Aiguo and others to meet with guests from Japan.
"Mr. Yamashita must have come from afar, so there must be something important, right?"
Shan Ying looked at Yamashita Lang in front of him, the other party seemed to be quite big, and he had the title of deputy director of the Japanese Ministry of Space Affairs.
"Mr. Shan, that's right, I know that your company's smelting plant in space is about to be completed, and I came here this time to entrust your company to help smelt an asteroid, and I also asked Mr. Shan to help."
Yamashita Lang said to Shan Ying very respectfully, his attitude was still very good.
There is no way, the Japanese have not yet built their own space smelting plant, and the asteroid mined back is sold to the Galaxy Technology Group, and they feel a loss.
Shagang Group's smelting plant in space has attracted global attention for a long time, and the Japanese have naturally paid attention to it early, and even calculated the time, and when Shagang Group's space smelting plant is completed, their asteroid has just been mined back.
Everything is carefully calculated, there is really no way, the purchase of Galaxy Technology Group's spaceship has almost emptied Japan's foreign exchange reserves, and it also owes a lot of debt, borrowing the foreign exchange reserves of many small countries to make up enough money to buy spaceships.
"Of course, there is no problem."
Shan Ying and Fang Sixian looked at each other, their eyes revealed joy, the original choice was right, the space smelting plant had not yet been built, and the business had already come to the door.
"Great, this time the asteroid we mined contains 110 million tons of iron, I don't know how much smelting fee your company needs to charge?"
When Yamashita Lang heard this, he immediately smiled, he didn't expect it to go well, but he also played a trick, not saying the mass of the asteroid, but talking about the iron it contains.
"Mr. Yamashita, the cost of smelting asteroids is calculated according to the mass of the asteroid, so you must have had relevant cooperation with Galaxy Technology Group before, right?"
When Fang Sixian heard this, he immediately smiled and said.
"Yes, yes, the mass of the asteroid we mined this time is 150 million tons, if your company is willing to help me smelt, I am willing to pay you 50 billion Chinese yuan for smelting."
Yamashita Lang saw that the people of Shagang Group were not easy to fool, so he also smiled and said directly.
"Mr. Yamashita, I think Your Excellency is very insincere, as far as I know, the cost of smelting asteroids here of Galaxy Technology Group is 500 yuan for 1 ton, and your 150 million tons of asteroid, if you find Galaxy Technology Group to smelt here, it will cost at least 75 billion Chinese dollars."
"You are now quoting us 50 billion, the price is too far apart."
Fang Sixian looked at Yamashita Lang, he had already done enough hard work in advance, and found out the price of smelting asteroids here of Galaxy Technology Group, otherwise he would suffer a loss.
Smelting an asteroid will make tens of billions of dollars, such a good business, I couldn't think of it before, if I don't know the market, it is estimated that I will agree to it immediately, and it will be less than 20 billion all of a sudden.
"Mr. Fang, you also know that this is the quotation of Galaxy Technology Group, Galaxy Technology Group is Galaxy Technology Group after all, there is still a gap between your company and them, I think the offer of 50 billion is already very sincere."
"This smelting asteroid doesn't cost you anything, and the speed is very fast, you can easily earn 50 billion, why not?"
was broken by Fang Sixian, and Yamashita Lang's face did not change a bit.
"Easy?"
"Mr. Yamashita is really joking, in order to build this space smelting plant, our group has pressed everything up, but it is definitely not easy."
"If it's really easy, presumably you Japanese should be able to smelt asteroids by yourself, and you can save tens of billions of smelting costs."
Shan Ying spoke, and immediately hit the vital point of the Japanese.
"Mr. Shan, you can tell me a price."
Yamashita Lang sighed in his heart, he was very helpless, there was no way, he didn't have his own smelting factory, he didn't have his own spaceship factory, and he couldn't do anything in space to ask the Chinese people, just like fish on the chopping board, helplessly sent to the Chinese people's knives again and again, and let the Chinese people slaughter them.
PS: I've been in a bad state lately, I'm going crazy~
