Chapter 247: Five or six billion to buy a mine
A smile appeared on Ishino Yutong's face: "Mr. Qin, we are here to attend the banquet, come, let's have a drink together." ”
This kind of oriental banquet is a fixed seat, the big guys are sitting in their own places, eating and drinking, Ishino Yutong tried to talk to Kamal alone several times, but was stopped by the person next to him with a wine glass, but he was even more suspicious.
Yilak is rich in oil, the total reserves account for 12% of the world, although there is also iron ore, but not much, so it is not very famous, this time, how can they be so popular?
Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Ishino Yutong finally spoke: "Mr. Qin, the amount of iron ore in Yilak is not large, and the grade is not high, so it can't be compared with the iron ore in Brazil and Australia, you have to keep your eyes open." ”
"Mr. Ishino, you're right." Qin Feng said a little drunkenly: "Their iron ore is indeed not as good as those countries you mentioned, but their iron ore is ilmenite, although the iron ore reserves in Basra are not large, but, but ......"
When he said this, Wang Fang next to him suddenly pulled his sleeve: "Mr. Qin, you drank too much!" ”
Qin Feng reacted at this time, and used chopsticks to pick up the dishes on the table, but he couldn't hold it at all, obviously, he was very happy today, so he drank too much unconsciously!
Ilmenite! When he heard this word, Ishino Yutong was suddenly surprised in his heart.
Although a word is added in front of iron ore, the meaning is completely different! Ordinary iron ore is mainly used to refine iron, and this ilmenite is mainly used to refine titanium, which has excellent characteristics: low density and high strength.
Because of its low density, titanium is very light, the same as aluminum, however, the strength of aluminum is not high enough, and the strength of titanium can be compared to steel! Titanium has both the strength of steel and the lightness of aluminum, so it is used in a wide range of applications, such as aircraft, rockets, missiles, etc., titanium alloys are needed, and later, these materials are also used in the chemical and petroleum sectors.
It can be said that titanium has become a noble alloy of modern industry, if you get ilmenite, then you don't need to make iron at all, as long as you find a way to refine titanium from it, then you can make a lot of money, although they Kobe Steel is mainly steelmaking, but also smelting various non-ferrous metals and rare metals.
Gotta find a way to pry this business over!
Yumito Ishino secretly made up his mind.
"I haven't drunk too much, I can still drink!" Qin Feng's eyes looked at the wine glass on the table in a daze: "Come, I want to have another drink with Mr. Kamal, we spend five billion to buy the ilmenite mine in Basra for twenty years, this is the largest investment of our Pacific Group, come, Mr. Kamal, drink!" ”
Billion!
That sounds like a lot, but it'...... This Pacific Group is also very evil, and the business it does is generally illegal, and it is possible to say that they can earn hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in wealth, and moreover, this kind of big business of buying mining rights can also be borrowed from banks, so although five billion yuan is more, it can be put together, and if it is negotiated well, it may be able to pay separately, two or three billion yuan a year, which is not much at all.
Ilmenite mine, 20 years of mining rights, 5 billion absolute value! Six billion is not much! You must find a way to pry this business!
Qin Feng wanted to raise the wine glass hard, but his hand was still unsteady, and a lot of wine in the wine glass shook out, and Wang Fang on the side dissuaded again: "Mr. Qin, you drank too much, let's send you back to rest." ”
"The guest hasn't drunk yet, how can I go? I, I ......"
Suddenly, Qin Feng suddenly lay on the table, and within a minute, he was snoring.
Looking at Qin Feng's appearance, Wang Fang could only stand up helplessly: "Mr. Kamal, I'm very sorry, our Mr. Qin drank too much, I'll take someone to send him back to his room to rest first." ”
"I've almost eaten too, I'll go back too." Kamal stood up.
"Mr. Kamal, how about we have another drink?" Yumito Ishino raised his glass.
Qin Feng walked out of the small canteen with the support of the two leaders of the steel plant, and after coming out, he recovered from his stumbling pace with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Qin, can the island people take the bait?"
"Mr. Qin, five billion, isn't it a lot?"
Qin Feng smiled: "What the people of the island country have is money, and if you say one billion or two billion, don't you look down on the people of the island country." If we pay 5 billion, the people of the island country will pay 6 billion to pry our business, and we have to pay it off in a lump sum. ”
Wang Fang was a little curious: "Mr. Qin, what benefits did we get from this transaction?" ”
"As long as we can trap the islanders, that's our benefit." Qin Feng smiled: "Besides, we have helped Yilak such a lot, they will definitely be grateful to us, and they will become good friends with us in the future." ”
Wang Fang sighed, in Mr. Qin's principle, even if it is not beneficial, the island people should be pitted, and if they are pitted, Mr. Qin will be happy, in this era, most people are like dogs wagging their tails to welcome foreigners, including island people, only Mr. Qin is not, Mr. Qin's principle is very appetizing to Wang Fang.
After all, we were also deceived by Yirak, and the stone brought by the Yirak people has been tested, and it is indeed ilmenite, who knows that this stone is different from the stone in their Basra mining area? Speaking of which, thanks to the islanders, they stepped on the thunder for us.
Thinking about the faces of the island people at that time, it must be very exciting, and Qin Feng couldn't wait.
Although Qin Feng and the others left, there were still some leaders of the steel plant accompanying Kamal, looking at these people, Ishino Yutong gave his subordinates a look, so these subordinates asked the Oriental people to drink, and soon drank the Oriental people down.
In fact, if the island people were smarter, they should know that the amount of alcohol in the East far exceeds their amount of alcohol, and they drink rice wine like boiled water, which can be compared with the Erguotou in the East?
However, since the Orientals had already drunk a lot of wine with the Yiraks before they came in, it is understandable that their further drinking was only the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Seeing that the table full of Orientals was lying down, Ishino Yutong said to Kamal with satisfaction: "Mr. Kamal, ilmenite is a very expensive ore, and you sell it to the Orientals for five billion yuan, which is too cheap, and our island people are willing to pay five and a half billion dollars, how about it?" ”
Kamal frowned: "Mr. Ishino Yutong, we have already negotiated the price with Dongfang, we drank wine tonight, and we will sign an agreement tomorrow, they are already raising the full amount, Mr. Qin has found a lot of bank loans, and he has mortgaged all the factories here, I can't do anything to be sorry for him." ”
Full?
Ishino Yutong frowned slightly, and then he understood himself: it was obvious that this war had consumed the huge national strength of Yirak, they already owed 80 billion US dollars in foreign debt, and now they urgently needed a large amount of money to repay the debt, but in recent years, the price of oil has been outrageously low, so they are going to sell the mine for 20 years, but they are asking the buyer to pay the full amount.
Although the island country has not dealt with Yilak in terms of iron ore, it has still cooperated in the purchase of oil, and it has cooperated very well, and the other party has kept its promises, even if it is a one-time payment for twenty years, there is no need to worry about Yilak defaulting, as for the war...... War is a problem, but the war will not last forever, and I heard that both sides will not be able to fight, maybe like Eritrea, will soon cease fighting?
For the people of the island countries, although billions of dollars of money are a lot, they are still acceptable compared to the harvest.
"Mr. Kamal, then we will pay six billion, which is higher than the price of one billion in the East!" Ishino Yutong said: "You have spent a lot of money to win this war, and you urgently need more money now, and this billion should be very important to you." ”
Kamal's face had a mixed expression: "Yes, a billion dollars more is really important to us, but ...... We have already negotiated the conditions with Mr. Qin, and now we suddenly regret it, and I am a little sorry for Mr. Qin. ”
"Mr. Kamal, doing business is like this, you will face new opportunities at any time, needless to say that you have not signed a contract, even if you do, you can still regret it, and it is a big deal to pay liquidated damages, as long as you do things in accordance with international rules." Yutsu Ishino said: "Mr. Kamal, doing business is not about integrity, but about profit. ”
"Do business not look at integrity, look at interests?" Kamal's heart was smug, well, this is what you said, since you are all so shameless, then you are welcome.
"Okay, we originally planned to sign a contract with Mr. Qin tomorrow, but the big guys drank too much today, and it can be delayed until tomorrow night at the latest, you have to put together six billion dollars during this time, hit our account, and we will sign the contract, if it is after tomorrow night, then we can only say sorry."
"Okay, if it's someone else, you definitely don't have this ability, and only we Kobe Steel have this strength, you wait, we can get it together in a day, as long as we sign the contract, we will pay."
Ishino Yutong left the small cafeteria and hurriedly ran to contact the country, next to him, the assistant asked with some concern: "Ishino-kun, are we in a bit of a hurry to do this?" ”
It is true that they often buy foreign mines, but these need to go through a formal process, go to the site to investigate, conduct a risk assessment, and hold an internal meeting when they come back, and the directors have to express their opinions before they can finally make a decision.
Now, wouldn't it be a little hasty to say yes like that?
"Yes, it's a little fast, but can we not be fast? If we take a step slower, the Oriental people will be the first, and our evaluation process can be saved, that Mr. Qin is very powerful, his acquisition has never been empty, we will definitely not be wrong to grab orders from them. ”
The Pacific Group has already occupied the mines of Eritrea, whether it is gold or iron, they are all mined, and the people of the island country are red-eyed and cry out that they are too late, and now, Mr. Qin wants to purchase the mines of Yilak, how similar to Eritrea!
They are all in the midst of war, and they are not taken seriously by the outside world, and he believes in Mr. Qin's vision.
This rhetoric, not only with his subordinates, but also with the country, since the Plaza Agreement, the self-confidence of the island people has swelled to the extreme, there is money in hand, and things are happy, after hearing Ishino Yutong's report, they held a meeting overnight, and it only took fifteen minutes to come to the conclusion: buy, immediately raise money, and cut off this business in the East!
The next evening, Ishino Yumichi appeared at the door of the guest room of the steel mill guest house and knocked lightly.
"Mr. Kamal, Mr. Kamal! Six billion dollars have been scraped together, and we want to sign the contract now! ”
Kamal personally came to open the door, he didn't even need a bodyguard, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, six billion, so that six billion would be in hand!
Thank you, Mr. Qin!
"Mr. Kamal, we have sent a geological exploration team to Yilak, and since you are still fighting, for their personal safety, we hope that you will send an army to protect them."
"Of course there is no problem." Kamal nodded: "However, we will have to wait until your six billion dollars arrive." ”
As long as the money arrives, they can explore as much as they want, and the money will not be refunded anyway.
"Of course. We now sign the contract and make the payment immediately, all of which are in HSBC's account, and we can get it in three days, which is faster than a regular cross-border transfer. Yutsu Ishino said.
Kamal nodded: "Okay, then we'll sign the contract." ”
The contract had been prepared for a long time, and the standard contract for the international acquisition of the mine, Yumito Ishino simply read it, and skillfully signed it, and this place, which was supposed to sign the Pacific Group, now signed their name Kobe Steel.
"Mr. Yumito Ishino, can your signature represent Kobe Steel?" Kamal asked again.
This kind of acquisition is very formal, and it should be signed by the top leader of Kobe Steel, but now it only has the signature of Yumito Ishino, does it have legal effect?
Of course, it's no better, as long as the money arrives, nothing else counts.
"Of course." Yutsu Ishino said: "Originally, the president of Kobe Steel was going to come over, but this morning, there was a new project and I flew to the United States. Rest assured, this multi-billion dollar purchase is pediatric for us. ”
In fact, this is a bit of a swollen face and a fat man, although the island people are very rich, but the investment of six billion US dollars is indeed not a small amount, the president of Kobe Steel really wants to come, but there is really something to fly to the United States, and this side is in a hurry, so he can only let Ishino Yutong sign on his behalf.
After the signing, Ishino Yutsu asked his subordinates to fax the contract back to China, and when the country saw the contract, they would make the payment, and the matter was completed.
Just as Ishino wanted to leave, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Ishino Yutong's face changed slightly, this voice is obviously not good!
"Mr. Kamal, Mr. Kamal, is there anyone else in your room?"
"Mr. Kamal, I heard that the people of the island country sneaked in, you must be careful, don't be deceived by them!"
"Mr. Kamal, we have brought the contract, let's sign it now."
The voice was very noisy, and Ishino Yutsu's eyes were purring, if the Oriental knew that the business was being pried, he would be beaten up! That's right, quite possibly, these rude people in the East like to talk with their fists.
What to do, what to do?
Ishino Yutsu's eyes looked at the window: "Let's go, let's go out through the window!" ”
Can't let the Orientals block them! Although the people of the island are all short, their bodies are quite flexible, and they climb out of the window, and then step on the heating pipe outside, and walk to the nearby big tree, and you can climb down.
Boom, boom!
Just as the last islander left the window, the knock on the door outside had become louder.
Ishino Yutong smiled secretly, Oriental, you are still late! After going down, pack your things and leave overnight!
Crunch!
The door was opened.
Qin Feng's figure appeared at the door, he looked into the room, and then at the open window: "Gone?"
"Well, let's go, the matter has been done, Mr. Qin, please come in." Kamal was very excited.
The other people who followed the strong momentum all went down, and Qin Feng took Wang Fang into the room and sat on the sofa naturally.
"Mr. Kamal, congratulations on your fortune." Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Thank you Mr. Qin, six billion dollars, enough for us to use for a while, by the way, I have already said hello to the parts you need, let them send them over."
In the past, they said that they would wait for the oil pipeline to be built, but now they don't wait, Mr. Qin has done them such a big favor, even if these parts are given to Dongfang for free, it is okay.
"Thank you, the electroslag remelting steel is also about to arrive, after arriving, we will make steel pipes for you, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, your goods can also be sent away."
Kamal nodded: "By the way, Mr. Qin, the kind of car we took last time was very good, I don't know what the price is?" ”
"The unarmed version is $100,000 a piece, and if you need to add a machine gun or anti-tank weapon to it." Qin Feng said.
The price of 100,000 US dollars is indeed not expensive, after all, the civilian Hummer is 50,000 US dollars, this is a real military version!
"Okay, then let's buy a hundred ordinary versions first, and then purchase them in large quantities if they work well." Kamal said.
Wang Fang's eyes widened.
Yesterday, she was still suspicious that Mr. Qin had cheated the islanders, and the Yilak people had taken benefits, but she didn't get anything, but she didn't expect that without Mr. Qin's promotion, the other party would have to purchase 100 vehicles, which is 10 million US dollars!
Although it is not as eye-catching as an order of more than 100 million US dollars, in this era, it is also very good to earn 10 million US dollars, and this is still a beginning! If the Yilak people are used to it, they will place more orders in the future, and next time it may be a thousand starts!
"Well, for your environment, we will modify the professional desert air filter, as well as match the car with a higher power on-board air conditioner, so that the occupants have a comfortable environment, and the amount will not be increased." Qin Feng said.
If you want to satisfy the Yilak people, it is very simple, what off-road performance, what fuel consumption is not important, the most important thing is to have a first-class air conditioner with first-class cooling performance!
As for the desert air filter, it is also a must, otherwise the engine will definitely wear out early, and then the signboard of the warrior car will be smashed!
