"Hehe, are you still young and vigorous? It's almost the same, and I don't know how many people your face will pit in the future? Boss Duan shook his head with a smile.

"Hehe, I never cheated good people, all the people who cheated were people with bad intentions." Sanzang said with a smile.

"Well, it's me who is obsessed, you just do what you think, I'm old now, and I may not be able to keep up with the development of the times." Big Boss Duan sighed.

"Where, where, don't the young people of today need you to help them get on their horses and give them a ride?" Sanzang quoted a phrase that was "quite correct".

"Hehe, these young people don't necessarily like us old men muttering in their ears." Boss Duan said meaningfully.

"If they don't want to hear it, they can let it go, and if they hit their heads and bleed, they will naturally know that they are right or wrong, and it is not a good thing." Sanzang listens to the string song and knows the elegant meaning.

"You're thinking about it quite openly, forget it, it's useless to talk about these things, let's talk about something else, ITRI has received your donation and entrusted me to thank you." Boss Duan waved his hand.

"That's not necessary, it's all for a common goal, the family doesn't talk to each other, and besides, the work I do is much easier than theirs, and I have good food and clothes every day." Sanzang waved his hand.

"Hehe, you don't have to be arrogant, your work is also very difficult, they can't do it, the division of labor is different." Boss Duan was very satisfied with Sanzang's non-arrogant attitude, and thought for a while, "I have an idea, can you see if it is feasible?" ”

"Oh, you say, you say."

"I think so, after your blister copper is smelted, you sold it directly to the Xidu (German) people, although the price is good, but the profit is still not maximized.

Do you think you can ship it back to China first to refine it? and then sell it to the Xiduren, so that you can still earn a part of the profit. ”

"Big boss, your idea is very good, but it's not very feasible. There are also blister copper refining enterprises in Xidu, and the blister copper of Jinguo contains many precious metals, and the profits after refining are not small.

Its technology is also much more advanced than ours, so it is not interested in importing industrial manufactured products, and only likes to directly import raw materials, which they eat this bowl of rice. Sanzang said euphemistically.

"Haha, I see, I have a specialization in the art industry, and I am whimsical and think of some beautiful things." Boss Duan laughed self-deprecatingly.

"No, no, you're worried about this big plan. I'm here this time because I have another very important thing to ask for your opinion. Sanzang waved his hand.

"Oh, you say." Boss Duan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, looking at Sanzang with interest.

"That's right, didn't I originally plan to wait a year before launching 50,000 tons of blister copper production capacity?"

"That's right, that's what you told me, you have to donate money to ITRI, don't want to miss the opportunity to catch up with the development of science and technology, save money, and wait for enough money to be saved."

"Some time ago, I went to Xidu to buy a program-controlled switch production line, and by the way, I walked around Frankfurt, and found that I was still a little conservative, and I wanted to start this plan now."

"Hmm...... So where does the money come from to buy copper smelters and power plants? Boss Duan pondered for a moment and asked.

"As you may already know, my gimbal company can now earn more than 32 million yuan a year, and there is a program-controlled switch company, where I own 49% of the shares, and I can probably get 5 to 60 million yuan a year, which I think should be enough to pay for the purchase.

Now there is no good investment channel in China, which can only be spent on this, which is a double thing, which not only digests the backward domestic production capacity, drives employment, but also earns a huge amount of foreign exchange, otherwise so much money can only lie in the bank and eat ashes. ”

"Well, that's a good idea, are you trying to convince me to say hello to the relevant authorities and agree that you will pay for the purchase in national currency?"

"That's right, big boss, I used to pay for the purchase in US dollars and marks, but in fact, I suffered a big loss, and I can use this money to purchase more advanced equipment abroad.

I'm switching to paying in national currency now, and the conditions are still the same as before, so it should be feasible, right? After Sanzang finished speaking, he rubbed his hands and looked at the big boss with a smile.

"Haha, I agree in principle, I used to think it was the Lou family's industry, of course I thought it was a little cheaper." Boss Duan smiled awkwardly, feeling that he was indeed a little inauthentic before.

"I understand, it's all a public heart, so I'll go talk to Director Yang?" Sanzang nodded.

"Well, they're all old acquaintances, and he has almost already scheduled the ferrochrome company, just to pick up your big job, by the way, can the ferrochrome company also make it bigger? 10,000 tons is too little, and it is like a drop in the bucket for us. ”

"No problem, we have obtained the mineral resource distribution map of Tianjin through our partners, the country has proved 3.26 billion tons of chromite ore, with an average grade of 40~50%, and the total reserves of Ming Iron are as much as 930 million tons.

"Hey, is that accurate?" Boss Duan gasped when he heard this.

"It should be accurate, it's all information left by people, I think they must have investigated it in detail, even if it is discounted, it is enough for us to mine for a long time."

"Well, that makes sense, what about copper? Aren't you afraid that its copper ore resources will be quickly depleted if you make it so big? ”

"Don't be afraid, the information we have obtained shows that Tianjin has proven copper reserves of 5.2 million tons, and the reserves of the copper mine I own alone are as much as 950,000 tons, even if another 50,000 tons are launched.

It's only 100,000 tons, enough to be developed for seven or eight years, and when the development is completed, you can buy other people's copper ore to smelt, where the copper ore is not valuable. ”

"Understood, I still have a question, are you making such a big fuss, and no one cares?" Big Boss Duan frowned slightly.

"Hmm...... The current situation of Jinguo is that those who want to manage it can't be managed, and those who can manage it don't want to take care of it. Sanzang thought for a moment and concluded.

"Oh, what does that mean?"

"Less than two years after the country of Tianjin broke away from the suzerain, the local separatist forces are very strong, each in charge of its own affairs, no one obeys anyone, and the upper echelons can't manage it if they want to. In fact, the most powerful people in Tianjin are white multinational corporations, and they can manage it, but they don't want to manage it either. Sanzang explained in detail.

"Why?"

"If I tell you a set of data, you will understand, Tianjin has 13 million tons of gold ore reserves, 2.8 billion tons of platinum ore reserves, with an average grade of 4 grams per tonne, and 16.5 million tons of diamond mines.

For the time being, they are not very interested in other minerals such as nickel, copper, iron, coal, etc., because Tianjin is a landlocked country, far away from the port, and they don't want to make this hard-earned money. ”

"Understood, hehe, we're not afraid of hard work, in fact, this hard-earned money is not small."

"Yes, we can also take advantage of the current relatively relaxed international environment to take advantage of the situation and control its iron ore." Sanzang said a little bit about his long-term plans.

"Iron ore? You don't need to. Boss Duan was very puzzled.

"Big boss, people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, our current steel output has been 40 million tons, more than 10 million tons of output in more than 10 million tons is a sure thing, then 20 years later, 30 years later,

I'm afraid there will be as much as 400 million or 500 million tons, think about it, how much iron ore will we need to import by then? "Sanzang hasn't said that the steel output can reach 1 billion tons, for fear of scaring Boss Duan.

"Well, you're thinking about the long term, are there a lot of iron ores in Najin Country?" Boss Duan nodded slowly.

"Yes, it has as many as 38 billion tons of iron ore reserves, and they are all iron-rich, with an average grade of 40%~50%."

"Didn't you say that Tianjin is a landlocked country, far from the port, and it is very inconvenient to develop?"

"That's right, but we control the iron ore in Jinguo, mainly for the future iron ore pricing power." Sanzang remembered that the steel industry in the future was often united by the three iron ore giants of the Shanshui River Valley, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, and he was very unhappy.

"Iron ore pricing power?" Boss Duan chewed on these five words.

"Yes, you think, we have a large iron mine in our own hands, can it be cheaper to buy other people's things? Others don't dare to raise prices casually? Otherwise, we'll use our own. Sanzang explained briefly.

"Makes sense, but it's not easy, is it? I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, right? ”

"Yes, but this matter is not in a hurry, just use the honeymoon period of seven or eight years to do it, I don't pursue full control, it would be good to be able to control 1/3 or 1/4, as for the money, just save it slowly."

"Well, you just do what you think, I can give you very little help now, I can only rely on yourself, just do your best."

"I understand, I'll try it too, and I won't do anything about using the mantis arm as a car."

"Well, it's good to understand, yo, it's not too early, let's eat first, and then talk about it after eating." Boss Duan raised his left hand and looked at his watch.

"Okay, I haven't played chess for a long time, and my hand is really a little itchy." Sanzang replied with a smile.

An hour later, "Okay, Shibei should be impressed in three days, your current chess strength is rising, and I am struggling to play now." Boss Duan took out two blackspots from the Go jar, put them in the lower right corner of the chessboard, and the cast admitted.

"Hehe, there are two new celebrities in my Go club, and I will go to observe them when I have time and learn a one-and-a-half-trick."

"Well, I've heard your aunt say that you've done a good job in this matter, and I'm half-retired now, and I'll have a lot of free time in the future, so I have to take a look."

"No problem, you go to my place to play chess and take care of a meal, and when you are tired, you can go downstairs to the tea room to rest and drink tea."

"Hehe, I've heard about it too, okay, I'll definitely go."

"Big boss, it's not early today, I'll go back first." Sanzang raised his left hand and looked at his watch.

"Okay, I'll send you."

"I can't help it, I can't help it, you killed me."

"Haha, I've retired now, I'm just an ordinary old man, don't worry about sending you off, let's go." Boss Duan stood up, patted Sanzang on the shoulder, and said gently.

"This ...... All right. Sanzang understood what Boss Duan meant, he couldn't reward himself for his contributions, so he could only express his gratitude to himself in this way.

Boss Duan watched Sanzang drive away in a small car, looked up at the stars in the sky, sighed, and walked slowly home with his hands behind his back.

"Don't you usually send guests? Why do you want to send Xiao Huang to the gate of the yard today? Mrs. Duan sat on the sofa and drank tea, watched her old man slowly pacing into the living room, and said suspiciously.

"You don't understand, by the way, I want to ask you something." Boss Duan sat next to his wife.

"You say."

"The last time you went to attend the opening ceremony of the Little Yellow Hotel, did you see his children?"

"I've seen it, why are you asking this? You don't want to marry him, do you? ”

"I also came up with this idea just now, you can advise me on the staff."

"I, of course, raised my hands in approval, you haven't seen the four children of his family, they all look very good, they are well educated, they are very polite to others, there is no squeamishness of rich and noble people, Zhenzhen is very satisfied, and she has long been clamoring to marry him."

"Really? What does Xiao Huang mean? Boss Duan asked with interest.

"Hmm...... I tried it once, and his attitude was not very positive, but he did not object. Mrs. Duan remembered the scene at that time.

"I can understand that with his current net worth and status, what kind of son-in-law and daughter-in-law he wants to find can't be found. In fact, our family has no advantages, and I have now half retired.

He didn't rely on anyone to have the success he has today, I just helped a little, but fortunately he still misses the old love. Boss Duan thought that maybe he was more helped by Sanzang, but he managed to say this.

"Yes, it's a pity, if Zhenzhen met him before he got married, what do we have to worry about with such a son-in-law?" Mrs. Duan let out a long sigh.

"That's not necessarily, if he really wants to become our son-in-law, he may not be able to achieve the success he has today, and we have too much constraint on him." Boss Duan shook his head.

"Well, that makes sense, so what do you mean?" Mrs. Duan nodded.

"I understand what Xiao Huang means, he wants to go with the flow, then let's go with the flow, don't force it." Boss Duan thought for a while and said.

"No, your method is too negative, I didn't know what you meant before, and I didn't dare to make up my mind, for fear that you would say that I was greedy for Xiao Huang's money. Now that you're thinking the same as ours, you can't do that. Mrs. Duan shook her head.

"Oh, what's your idea? You have to be above board. "Boss Duan is a little interested.

"It's absolutely above board, it's very simple, just ask Zhenzhen to take the children to Xiao Huang's house on Sunday, the children are familiar with each other, isn't the opportunity coming, Zhenzhen has three children, and they are very good, so they can always succeed in a couple." Mrs. Duan said confidently.

"Well, your stupid method might really work, you go talk to Zhenzhen." Boss Duan nodded with a smile.

"Okay, but why didn't you think about asking Qi'er to marry Xiao Huang?" Mrs. Duan asked suspiciously.
