  Chapter 295 The problem of earning more and earning less

  In the office, after listening to Zhao Guoyang's narration, Ma Jian said nonchalantly: "Guoyang, why don't you just go ahead and do it? You can be considerate and help me solve my problems. I'm too happy to be happy."

  Ma Jian thought for a while and then said: "If we can really negotiate a cooperation with Shagang Group, the production cost in our factory will definitely be reduced a lot. This is a great achievement."

   "By the way, Guoyang, if you go this time, it's for business. I think it's better to arrange a car, so that it looks good!"

  Ma Jian's words are quite reasonable, Zhao Guoyang nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and said: "Well, I didn't think of the point that Director Ma mentioned. Indeed, it should be more convincing if we drive there by ourselves."

Ma Jian seemed to have thought of something, so he raised his head and said to Zhao Guoyang: "Guoyang, last time I heard from Director Mu that your driver's license has been obtained, right? Or, you can drive yourself this time. Let's start like this It's easier to come back."

   "Uh, that's fine. It's just good for the driver to take a break. After all, he's on a business trip on the weekend. If he has something to do, he should complain."

  Zhao Guoyang hesitated for a while, and then said: "However, I'm afraid I should ask Director Mu for instructions on this matter?"

"No need to run around anymore, Director Mu, I will tell you later. You, go back to the office and prepare well. Shagang Group is a star enterprise in our Jiangnan Province. Guoyang, you must be steady. what!"

   Zhao Guoyang understood the meaning of Ma Jian's words as soon as he heard it.

   This person is usually treated coldly by some big companies, worried that he is young and energetic, and will get angry with them if he disagrees.

   "Don't worry, Director Ma, I know." Zhao Guoyang said indifferently.

   "Well, of course I can rest assured that you are doing business. I will leave the matter of the car to me. Later, someone will send you the car key to the office."

  Zhao Guoyang thanked Director Ma, and then walked back to his office in a leisurely manner.

   After sitting in the office for a while, the phone rang.

  After Zhao Guoyang connected, a somewhat familiar Germanic language came from inside: "Hello, is this Zhao Guoyang, Mr. Zhao?"

   "Yes, yes, I am Zhao Guoyang, may I ask who you are?" Zhao Guoyang asked.

   "Hehe, I'm Carlson from Volkswagen Latin America! Did Mr. Zhao forget?" The voice on the phone said with a self-deprecating smile.

   "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Carlson. How could I forget your voice, but it's a little distorted after the phone voice is switched over." Zhao Guoyang explained.

  After exchanging pleasantries, Carlson explained his intentions.

   "Mr. Zhao, we have paid the patent royalty to your account, you can check it." Carlson said.

Zhao Guoyang did not expect the efficiency of the Volkswagen Latin American company to be so high. He said happily: "Okay, Mr. Carlson, I will call the bank to check later. I will notify you when I have the result." Say hello!"

   "It's okay, as long as you confirm that the money has arrived, it doesn't matter if you make this call or not." Carlson was not worried at all that he had transferred to the wrong account.

   "Ah, by the way, Mr. Zhao, there is one more thing."

  After a few pleasantries, Carlson suddenly said, "Mr. Wolf from our Volkswagen headquarters wants to fly to Huaxia to meet you. I wonder if you are free recently? Or would you like to?"

  Hearing the word "Wolf", Zhao Guoyang understood that this must be the number one person in the headquarters of the Volkswagen Group.

After deliberating for a while, Zhao Guoyang replied: "It is also my honor to meet Mr. Wolfe. Well, but I may be busy in the last week or two. Or wait until April? Look at Wolfe Is there a coincidence in the time, sir?"

   "No problem, as long as Mr. Zhao is willing to meet Mr. Wolfe. As for the time, we will negotiate again..."

   Carlson didn't say anything. After chatting with Zhao Guoyang for a while, he hung up the phone.

  After putting down the phone, Zhao Guoyang found a number from his notebook and dialed it.

   The number Zhao Guoyang dialed was the phone number reserved for him by Standard Chartered Bank.

  After the call was made, the clear voice of the service staff came soon.

  Zhao Guoyang reported his account information, and after passing the confirmation of the service staff, he immediately obtained the deposit information.

   "Mr. Zhao, your total deposit in Standard Chartered Bank is five million dollars..." There was some shock in the voice of the service lady, but it was better concealed and it was not easy to be discovered.

  Hearing that the money had arrived, Zhao Guoyang no longer hesitated, and directly stated his request.

   "Well, please transfer 3 million to the account I opened for phone transfer. The account name is Susanna, and the number is..."

  After some explanations, the service lady of Standard Chartered Bank has transferred the money to Susanna's account according to Zhao Guoyang's instructions.

   "Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, do you have any other requests?" After finishing, the service lady asked in a respectful voice.

   "Not for the time being, if there is anything in the future, I will call you again, thank you!" Zhao Guoyang said politely.

   "Mr. Zhao is too polite, it is my honor to serve you! I wish you a happy life, goodbye!" The service lady smiled sweetly, and then hung up the phone.

  The funds for investing in the mine have arrived, so Zhao Guoyang naturally wants to inform Susanna.

   Calculating the time, Suzanne should not be asleep yet. Zhao Guoyang thought about it and made a long-distance call abroad.

   After waiting for a while, the phone was connected, and Suzanne's voice came over.

   "Hello, is that Zhao?" Susanna asked with some joy.

  Zhao Guoyang responded, and asked with some doubts: "Miss Susanna, how do you know it's mine?"

   "Hey, it's already past one o'clock at night. Besides you, who else in Sao Paulo will call me?" Susanna's voice was clearly teased.

   "I'm sorry, Suzanne. Did I disturb your rest?" Zhao Guoyang said a little embarrassingly.

   "Oh, no, no, I just took a shower and haven't slept yet." Suzanne chuckled lightly.

   "By the way, you must have something important to call me so late, right?"

   "Well, that's right, the money from Volkswagen Latin America has been sent to me. I just transferred three million dollars to your account. You can check it later." Zhao Guoyang said straight to the point.

   "Huh? So fast! Alright, I'll call and ask, wait for me to call back!" Susanna said hastily.

   Zhao Guoyang put down the phone for less than five minutes, and the ring rang again. When he picked it up, it turned out to be Susanna's.

   "Zhao, the money has really arrived!"

  Susanna said happily: "With this money, our company can purchase the niobium-tantalum mine immediately."

  Zhao Guoyang said with a "hmm" and said: "Susanna, you have to finish the transfer of the mine as soon as possible. I will find a way to solve the follow-up mining funds. The gap should not be too big, right?"

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's question, Susanna explained: "Don't worry, Zhao. With your capital injection, our niobium and tantalum mine will be able to turn around soon."

   "Even if it can't be developed on a large scale at once, the basic quantity can still be guaranteed. In fact, the most important problem now is who to sell the mined mines to..."

  Zhao Guoyang was prepared for Suzanne's doubts, and he swore: "Susanna, after the niobium-tantalum ore is mined, just leave the sales to me."

   "In just one or two days, I will go to a large steel factory here to discuss cooperation. If there is no accident, they will definitely need to buy niobium and tantalum ore."

   "Ah, that's really great! As long as there is a market, our business will definitely make a profit!" Susanna said happily.

  Zhao Guoyang was infected by Susanna's emotions, and said with a smile: "Buying this niobium-tantalum mine will definitely make money, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less."

   "By the way, Zhao, after I win the niobium-tantalum mine here, I want to go to Huaxia to find you. Let's sit down and talk about the future development of our trading company. What do you think?"

   "Of course it's no problem, you just come here. At that time, I will take you to appreciate our ancient Chinese civilization and traditional culture."

   "Then it's settled, you are not allowed to play tricks!" Susanna said coquettishly.

  Zhao Guoyang leaned his body on the chair, and said between laughing and laughing: "Miss Suzanne, when will what I said not count? Oh, by the way, when you come here, bring something if it's convenient..."

  Zhao Guoyang talked about some things he needed, and didn't finish until Suzanne memorized them all.

  After the phone call with Susanna ended, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but think of the previous agreement with Mayor Huang.

  At that time, after I was sure that I could get a huge patent royalty of several million, I talked with Huang Zhigang, and I would transfer the money to the SJ City Finance Bureau through the trading company I established, and directly convert it into RMB.

  The current price on the black market for USD to RMB is much higher than the international exchange rate of 8.5.

   Zhao Guoyang's approach undoubtedly gave SJ a lot of advantages.

  As the leader of the government of SJ City, Mayor Huang will naturally not let him suffer, but promised him a lot of benefits.

  For example, the tax relief of his trading company for three years, and at the same time, he will transfer a piece of land in Puxi New District to him at a low price in the future, etc.

   That is to say, Zhao Guoyang's small action not only helped SJ City win a sum of foreign exchange, but also facilitated his subsequent domestic economic activities.

  Of course, Zhao Guoyang hasn’t figured out how much US dollars to transfer to SJ City. After all, there are not as many domestic places that need money as there are foreign countries.

   "By the way, don't you want to go to Shagang Group tomorrow? If they confirm that they want niobium and tantalum ore, then my trading company will charge them some freight, right?"

   "And this kind of international ocean freight must be settled in US dollars. From this point of view, there will be at least a source of foreign exchange for SJ City in the future..." Zhao Guoyang thought to himself.
