Song Yuanchao listened to Daniel Zhang's explanation, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

Although Song Chaoyuan had never been in contact with this industry, he had to admire Daniel Zhang's vision and judgment.

From the late nineties of the twentieth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century, this was an era of great development of the domestic steel industry.

From the 80s to the early 90s, the proportion of domestic imported ore resources, of which iron ore is not high, is just a supplement to the production of domestic ore. This is similar to what Daniel Zhang told Song Chaoyuan, and the overall market price is also very low, and the international market price of high-grade iron ore only fluctuates around 20 US dollars.

But with the mid-nineties, after the domestic steel production began to increase, the amount of imported iron ore began to increase year by year, and the current annual import of iron ore has increased from the initial hundreds of thousands to millions of tons in previous years, and this growth rate can be said to be very amazing.

Daniel Zhang operates mineral resources abroad, and the mining company he owns is now the largest private mining company in Bolivia.

This is not counting, Daniel Zhang has been laying out over the years, through many mergers and acquisitions, has extended his tentacles to other countries, especially neighboring Brazil and other places, and through cooperation with British mining companies, Daniel Zhang not only reached a strategic partnership with the other party, but also became one of the directors of the other party through the acquisition of shares, and got a certain right to speak in the company.

It can be said that Daniel Zhang's mining empire has a considerable scale, although it is not comparable to the world's largest giant groups, but it can be regarded as important in the industry.

Coupled with Daniel Zhang's unique vision, he predicted the development of China's steel industry in advance and preemptively obtained the share of ore exports to China, although the current profit is not much, but Daniel Zhang is sure that his move is very necessary.

Daniel Zhang's vision is good, next year Xiangjiang returns, the pace of development of domestic iron and steel enterprises further accelerated, by 1998, the number of imported iron ore exceeded 28 million tons, and in 2003, this figure was refreshed to 148 million tons, suddenly ranking first in the world.

With the increase in the amount of iron ore imports, the price in the international market has gradually increased. In just a few years, the price of iron ore has risen from less than $20 to around $45, and then to $60 after 2000. In 2003, the price of iron ore broke through $80 and reached a high of $82, and then the price was stable for a period of time, but after 2005, the price of iron ore went high again, this time directly breaking through the $100 range, like a wild horse running wild.

Although there are some other reasons for the high price of international iron ore in the future, one thing is real, that is, the domestic demand for iron ore raw materials, including other ore raw materials, is increasing.

"Brother Yong, what do you mean......?"

"We're old friends, and I'll be straight about some things." Daniel Zhang smiled and said to Song Chao to help them: "I can guarantee the ore resources here, and now the domestic sales channels mainly rely on the companies here in Xiangjiang. Aid to North Korea, I know your ability, you have strong connections in China, and Shenghua's strength is no problem, this business must be directly cooperated with the relevant departments in China to really grow, I think you also recognize this, right?"

"You mean you supply the goods, and I'm in charge of channel sales?" Song Dynasty asked.

"Pretty much, but it's not that simple." Daniel Zhang said: "There are many ways to cooperate, such as we set up a company together, my mining company will authorize the company to sell in China, and then distribute future profits according to the proportion of their shares. Or as you just said, I supply, you are responsible for sales, and the price can be operated according to the market price. In addition, we can sign a long-term price range, of course, this period of time is not too long, generally one year to two years, during which the supply price on our side remains unchanged, and the profit and loss of price fluctuations in the international market are borne by each party."

「

In addition, there are other models of cooperation, and I just gave you a few examples, but of course, if you have any good ideas, you can also come up with them, and we will discuss them with each other."

Song Chaoyuan and Qin Zhengguo exchanged glances, neither of them expected that Daniel Zhang would propose cooperation on this project today.

"I have to think about this matter, you also know that we Shenghua have never run such a business, and I have to implement it before I can give you an answer in terms of channels." As a friend, Song Chaoyuan didn't go around in circles, and replied bluntly.

Daniel Zhang smiled when he heard it: "This matter is not urgent, I just mentioned it, it would be great if we could cooperate, after all, everyone knows the roots, and I am more optimistic about cooperating with you than others." In this way, I won't stay in Xiangjiang for long, Xiao Fan will stay for the time being, he will go to Huhai first to deal with the matter at hand and then open an office in Shanghai, and then if you think about it clearly, tell me, how about Xiao Fan to deal with the specific matters in the future?"

"Of course!" Song Chaoyuan smiled and agreed.

After chatting about this matter, Daniel Zhang stopped mentioning it, and then everyone talked about other things. At noon, they had lunch together at Daniel Zhang's side, and in the afternoon Song Chaoyuan and Qin Zhengguo took their leave, and Daniel Zhang did not keep because he would see other guests at the meeting, and personally sent them out, and when he parted, he told Song Chaoyuan that they would get together again before leaving, and Song Chaoyuan agreed to come down and shake hands and say goodbye.

On the way back, Song Chaoyuan was thinking about his thoughts, Qin Zhengguo sat on the side and also thought, waiting for the car to arrive at Qin Zhengguo first, Qin Zhengguo was about to get out of the car and turned around and asked Song Chaoyuan if he wanted to go to his house to drink a cup of tea and smoke a cigarette, Song Chaoyuan was not polite, and immediately got out of the car with him.

"What do you think of Daniel Zhang's suggestion today?" When he arrived at the house, Qin Zhengguo also relied on making tea, closed the door of the study, took out a cigarette, lit one, and then asked Song Chaoyuan directly.

"What? Are you tempted?" Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.

"Sort of." Qin Zhengguo nodded: "Big Brother's stall has been collected, and the ready-made team can't be disbanded directly, right?" If this project is feasible, it is a good alternative."

Song Dynasty didn't take this into account, what he had been thinking about just now was other issues, and Qin Zhengguo mentioned this matter to make him agree.

"What do you think exactly, let's talk about it first." Song Chaoyuan sat down on the side and lit a cigarette, and asked seriously.

Qin Zhengguo said: "Although I don't understand this line, I think Daniel Zhang's judgment is right, the most important thing is that Daniel Zhang has direct ore resources, doing this line of resources is the first, having resource channels is second, what do you think?"

Song Chaoyuan nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Qin Zhengguo continued: "As for how domestic companies cooperate, this can be decided, but whether the project is done or not is the most important choice. In addition, don't forget Lao Sun and Lao Lu, the company they are engaged in now is also doing raw material resources, although the products are slightly different, but the operation is the same, plus they have cooperation with some steel companies in the scrap steel project, from this point of view, there is no shortage of basic channels."

"Also, Daniel Zhang looking for us to cooperate, to put it bluntly, they also value our Shenghua's strength, or value your ......." As he spoke, Qin Zhengguo stretched out his hand and made a gesture, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he understood what he meant Song Chaoyuan very clearly, and nodded noncommittally.

Sun Yaoliang and Lu Hairong's company, Song Chaoyuan also thought of this.

Although Sun Yaoliang and Lu Hairong started their own companies, this company Shenghua also owns some shares, even if Shenghua is only the third largest shareholder. Shenghua's shareholding is what Sun Yaoliang and Lu Hairong can't ask for, not to mention their friendship with Song Chaoyuan, just by virtue of the channels and resources brought to the company after Shenghua became a shareholder of the company, they can get twice the result with half the effort in the company's development.

In fact, after Shenghua became a shareholder and the company was established, Song Chaoyuan gave them a lot of help, which is one of the reasons why their company was able to grow rapidly.

And Shenghua owns the shares of this company, which also means that their company is also a member of the Shenghua system, and the current Shenghua department is not well-known in China, because the members within the Shenghua department are different from other business alliances, and many members and enterprises are gradually developed with Shenghua Group as the core, so as to form

It has become a relatively closed circle, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter, so compared to the huge so-and-so association and so-and-so department, not many people know about it.

But in the business world, some entrepreneurs or businessmen who know about the Shenghua system know very well how strong the Shenghua system is. In addition to the Shenghua company's name or some brother enterprises with equity, the tentacles of the Shenghua department have also extended overseas, but as the helmsman, Song Chaoyuan has always been low-key, rarely showing his head, and he naturally doesn't know much.

"I'm okay with that." Song Chaoyuan originally had the idea of cooperating with Daniel Zhang, and since Qin Zhengguo also thought so, Song Chaoyuan pushed the boat along the water.

Moreover, Sun Yaoliang and Lu Hairong's company came forward, coupled with the team now on Big Brother's side to take over, which also happened to avoid the embarrassment of Li Daqi and Luo Yang and them directly facing Daniel Zhang, so there was no concern. As for other aspects, Song Chaoyuan is not worried at all, according to the knowledge of the next few decades, this business is a steady profit without loss, Daniel Zhang proposed to cooperate with himself completely in addition to valuing Sheng Hua's strength, the main thing is to use this way to repay Song Chaoyuan's help, although Daniel Zhang is a businessman, but he is a very righteous person, this Song Chaoyuan has known him for many years, naturally knows it in his heart.

A few days later, before Daniel Zhang was ready to leave Xiangjiang, they got together again, this time the party was longer, not only everyone ate and drank well, but also talked deeply about specific cooperation matters, after discussing the general plan, Daniel Zhang was very happy to take the wine in front of him, suggesting that everyone make a glass to celebrate, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo stood up with a smile, plus Fan Baoguo, the four of them clinked glasses together, and then simply drank it all neatly, and after putting down the wine glass, laughed at the same time.
