Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 419 97. The Plan Has Changed
"Hehe, you're still young and vigorous? You're not too old and scheming, and I don't know how many people you will cheat with your face in the future?" Boss Duan shook his head with a smile.

"Hey, I never cheat on good people, only those with evil intentions." Sanzang said with a smile.

"Well, I'm the one with the picture, so you can do it according to your ideas. I'm old now, and I may not be able to keep up with the development of the times." Boss Duan sighed.

"Where is it, don't young people nowadays still need you to help them get on the horse and see them off." Sanzang quoted a "very correct" sentence.

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

"They just let it go if they don't want to listen to it. They will know right or wrong if they hit their head and bleed. It's not a bad thing." Sanzang heard the stringed song and knew the meaning.

"You're really open-minded. Forget it. It's useless to talk about these things. Let's talk about something else. The Industrial Technology Research Institute has received your donation. I entrusted me to express my gratitude to you." Boss Duan waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter, it's all for a common goal. The family doesn't talk about two families. Besides, my work is much easier than theirs, and I also have a good life every day." Sanzang waved his hand.

"Hehe, you don't have to underestimate yourself. 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 attitude of not being arrogant, and after a little thought, "I have an idea, you See if it works?"

"Oh, you said, you said."

"This is what I think. After your blister copper was smelted, you sold it directly to the Xidu (German) people. Although the price is good, the profit is still not maximized.

Do you think it can be shipped back to China for refining?If you sell it to Xi Duren, then you can still make some profits. "

"Boss, your idea is very good, but it is not feasible. Xidu also has a blister copper refining enterprise, and the blister copper in Jin country contains many precious metals, and the profit after refining is not small.
Its technology is also much more advanced than ours, so it is not interested in importing industrial products, and only likes to directly import raw materials, which is what they eat. " Sanzang said euphemistically.

"Haha, I see. There is a specialization in the art field. It's my whimsy, and I try to think of some beautiful things." Boss Duan laughed at himself.

"No, no, you are also worried about this big plan. I am here this time because I want to ask for your opinion on something very important." Sanzang waved his hand.

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

"That's it. Didn't I originally plan to wait a year before launching a production capacity of 5 tons of blister copper?"

"That's right, that's what you told me. You want to donate to the Industrial Technology Research Institute, and don't want to miss the opportunity to catch up with the development of science and technology. At the same time, you are saving money, and you will start when you have enough money."

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

"Hmm... Then where did you get the money to buy the copper smelter and power plant?" Boss Duan asked after pondering for a while.

"As you may already know, my universal joint company can earn more than 3200 million national dollars a year now, and the program-controlled switch company, I hold 49% of the shares, can also earn about 5 to 6 million national dollars a year. Coins, I think the money should be enough to pay for the purchase.

Now there are no good investment channels in the country, so we can only spend it on this. This is a double-winner. It not only digests the backward production capacity in the country, stimulates employment, but also earns huge foreign exchange. Otherwise, so much money can only be laid Eat ashes in the bank. "

"Well, this is indeed a good idea. Do you want to persuade me to greet the relevant departments and agree that you can use national currency to pay for the purchase?"

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

I am now paying in national currency, and the conditions are still the same as before. It should be feasible, right? Sanzang rubbed his hands after speaking, and looked at the big boss with a half-smile.

"Haha, I agree in principle. I thought it was the Lou family's property before, so of course I wanted to take advantage of it." Boss Duan smiled awkwardly, feeling that he was really a little unreasonable before.

"I can understand, it's all a public mind, so I should talk to Director Yang?" Sanzang nodded.

"Well, they are all old acquaintances. He has almost arranged for the Ferrochrome Company to take on your big job. By the way, can the Ferrochrome Company be bigger? [-] tons is too little. It’s like a drop in the bucket for us.”

"No problem, we have obtained the distribution map of mineral resources in Zimbabwe through our partners. The proven chromite ore in the country is 32.6 billion tons, with an average grade of 40-50%. The total reserves of chromite are more than 9.3 million tons. As many as we want, we can make it as big as we want.”

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

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

"Well, it makes sense, what about copper? Are you afraid that its copper resources will be exhausted quickly if you make it so big?"

"Don't be afraid, the data we have obtained shows that the proven copper reserves of the country are 520 million tons. The copper mine I own alone has reserves of 95 tons.

It is only 10 tons, which is enough to develop for seven or eight years. After the development is completed, you can buy other people's copper ore for smelting. The copper ore there is worthless. "

"Understood, I still have a question. Is there no one to take care of you when you are making such a fuss?" Boss Duan frowned slightly.

"Hmm... the current situation in Jin country is that you can't control it if you want to, and you don't want to control it if you can." Sanzang thought for a while and concluded.

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"It's been two years since Jin State left the suzerain state. The local separatist regimes are very powerful, and each manages its own affairs. No one obeys the other, and the upper echelons can't manage it. In fact, the most powerful in Jin State now is the white multinational company, and they can manage it. But they don't want to care about it either." Sanzang explained in detail.

"why?"

"Let me tell you a set of data, and you will understand that Jin's gold ore reserves are 1300 million tons, platinum ore reserves are 28 billion tons, with an average grade of 4 grams per ton, and diamond mines are 1650 million tons. Multinational companies are eyeing these three types of earning potential. Big money minerals.

They are not very interested in other minerals such as nickel, copper, iron, and coal for the time being, because Tianjin is a landlocked country, far away from the port, and they don't want to earn this hard money. "

"Understood, hehe, we are not afraid of hard work, in fact, the money for hard work is not small."

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

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

"Big boss, people have no foresight, and there must be near-term worries. Our current steel output has reached 4 million tons. It is a certainty that the output will exceed 1 million tons in more than ten years. What about 20 or 30 years later?
I'm afraid there will be as much as 4 to 5 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 10 billion tons yet, for fear of scaring Boss Duan.

"Well, you are thinking in the long term. Are there many iron mines in the country of Jin?" Boss Duan nodded slowly.

"Yes, its iron ore reserves are as many as 380 billion tons, and they are all rich in iron ore, with an average grade of 40% to 50%."

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

"That's right, but we control the iron ore in Tianjin mainly for the future iron ore pricing power." Sanzang recalled that the steel industry in the future would often be consolidated by the three iron ore giants Vale, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto. I was very upset.

"Pricing rights for iron ore?" 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 the price casually? Otherwise, we will use our own." Sanzang simply explained one time.

"It makes sense, but this matter is not easy to handle, right? I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money?"

"Yes, but this matter is not too urgent. Just use the honeymoon period of seven or eight years to get it done. I don't pursue full control. It would be great if I can control 1/3 or 1/4. As for Money, save it slowly.”

"Well, you can do it according to your own ideas. There is very little help I can give you now. You can only rely on yourself, just do your best."

"Understood, I'll give it a try too, and I don't know how to use a mantis arm as a cart."

"Well, it's good to understand, yo, it's getting late, let's go eat first, and we'll talk after dinner." Boss Duan raised his left hand and looked at his watch.

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

An hour later, "Okay, Shibie will be impressed by you for three days. Your chess strength has improved, and I am struggling to play now." Boss Duan took two black stones from the Go pot and placed them on the right side of the board. In the lower corner, the pitch was conceded.

"Hey, my Go club has two new celebrities. I will go to observe them when I have time, and learn one and a half moves."

"Well, I heard from your aunt that you have done a good job in this matter. I am half retired now. I will have a lot of free time in the future. I have to go and have a look."

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

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

"Boss, it's getting late today, so I'll go back first." Sanzang raised his left hand and looked at his watch.

"Alright, let me see you off."

"I can't, I can't, you're killing me."

"Haha, I've retired now. I'm just an ordinary old man. It doesn't matter if I send you off or not. Let's go." Boss Duan stood up, patted Sanzang on the shoulder, and said gently.

"This... alright." Sanzang understood Boss Duan's meaning, he could not repay himself for his contribution, so he could only express his gratitude to himself in this way.

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

"Don't you usually see off guests? Why do you want to send Xiao Huang to the gate of the yard today?" Mrs. Duan sat on the sofa drinking tea, watching her old man slowly walking 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 said."

"The last time you went to the opening ceremony of Xiaohuang Restaurant, have you seen his children?"

"I've seen it before. Why do you ask this? You don't want to marry him, do you?"

"I also came up with this idea just now, please help me as a staff member."

"I, of course I agree with it. You have never seen the four children in his family. They are all good-looking, well-educated, very polite in dealing with others, and not as coquettish as a rich family. Zhenzhen is very satisfied. , has long clamored to marry him."

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

"Well... I tried it once, and his attitude was not very positive, but he didn't object." Mrs. Duan recalled the scene at that time.

"It's understandable. With his current wealth and status, he can't find what kind of son-in-law and daughter-in-law he wants to find. In fact, our family has no advantages. I have already retired.
He didn't rely on anyone to be as successful as he is today. I just helped a little. Fortunately, he still misses the old love. "Boss Duan thought that maybe he was more helped by Sanzang, but he just managed to say this.

"Yeah, it's a pity. It would be nice if Zhenzhen met him before she got married. With such a son-in-law, what do we need to worry about?" Mrs. Duan sighed.

"That's not necessarily true. If he really wants to become our son-in-law, he may not be able to achieve the success he is today. We restrict him too much." Boss Duan shook his head.

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

"I understand what Xiao Huang means. He wants to let nature take its course, so let's let nature take its course and don't force it." Boss Duan thought for a while and said.

"No, your approach is too negative. I didn't know what you meant before, and I didn't dare to come up with ideas. I was afraid that you would say that I was greedy for Xiao Huang's money. Now that your ideas are the same as ours, you can't do this anymore. Madam Duan shook her head.

"Oh, what's your idea? You have to be upright." Boss Duan became a little interested.

"It's absolutely aboveboard, it's very simple, just ask Zhenzhen to take the children to visit Xiaohuang's house on Sundays. The children are familiar with each other, and the opportunity will come. Zhenzhen has three children, and they are also very tall. Very good, they will make a successful pair." Mrs. Duan said confidently.

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

"Okay, but why didn't you think of marrying Qi'er and Xiao Huang?" Mrs. Duan asked suspiciously.

　thank you very much!
