King of Industry

  Chapter 389 The enemy is too powerful

  After Zhao Guoyang described the thin slab continuous casting and rolling production line of SMS company, Shen Zhirong and Chen Guolin expressed their interest.

   After filling up a glass of wine, Shen Zhirong raised his glass to Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhao, you have done us a big favor for Shagang Group today, allowing us to get out of the way. I respect you for this glass of wine!"

  Seeing this, Zhao Guoyang naturally stood up and clinked glasses with Mr. Shen, and took a sip.

Putting down his wine glass, Zhao Guoyang followed up and reminded: "Mr. Shen, from the information I have learned, the current thin slab continuous casting and rolling production line has gradually become an investment hotspot in the world's steel industry. If you Shagang Group wants to catch up with this If there is a trend, you should contact the other party soon..."

  Shen Zhirong nodded in agreement and said, "Your words are indeed good words. Don't worry, we will put this matter on the agenda immediately after we go back to the board of directors, and it will definitely not be delayed for too long."

  After hearing what Shen Zhirong said, Zhao Guoyang felt a little more at ease.

   Zhao Guoyang still admires this courageous President Shen. If he can help within his ability, he will definitely help.

  At the dinner table, after talking about this topic, Zhao Guoyang talked to Shen Zhirong about the situation that the first batch of niobium and tantalum ore will arrive in SJ City next month.

   President Shen certainly welcomed this with open arms.

   "Xiao Zhao, I, Mr. Shen, keep his word. No matter how much niobium and tantalum ore you transported this time, our Shagang Group will definitely eat it all."

   "Of course, the premise is that the quality of your niobium tantalum ore must meet the standard. If the content is too low and it is difficult to refine, then it will definitely not work!"

   Zhao Guoyang is 100% able to guarantee Shen Zhirong's request.

  When he was in Samba, he confirmed the ore purity of this niobium-tantalum ore.

  The feedback I got from Suzanne was that this mine is a rare rich niobium-tantalum ore, and the content of its two main elements far exceeds that of ordinary niobium-tantalum ore.

  Just meeting the standard is too low for this niobium-tantalum rich ore.

   "Oh, that's right!" Chen Guolin on the side seemed to think of something, looked up at Zhao Guoyang, and asked earnestly.

   "Researcher Zhao, I heard you say last time that your friend from the Samba country seems to be engaged in more than just this mine."

   "I don't know if she has won the mining rights of other mines during this period? If there are other high-value rare metal mines, our Shagang Group also has the need for this..."

   "Well, Guolin is right!"

   Shen Zhirong nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Comrade Zhao, the current production capacity of our Shagang Group has basically stabilized. In the next period of time, the group's breakthrough direction may gradually focus on the smelting of rare metals."

   "So, regarding rare metal mines, if your friend can provide them, we can definitely cooperate for a long time."

  Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm", nodded and said, "About this point, I was just going to talk to President Shen and Minister Chen."

   "My friend has indeed won the mining rights of several mineral deposits in the country of Samba, but whether there are rare metal mines among them, I have to wait for her to come, and I will learn more about it."

  Shen Zhirong laughed, raised his glass again and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhao, then I'll leave this to you. I'm just waiting for you to bring good news?"

   "Mr. Shen, don't worry, I will naturally do my best for win-win cooperation!" Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly and gave his own guarantee.

   Ma Jian on the side listened for a long time, and was still a little confused.

  Zhao Guoyang had previously reported to Director Mu about investing in mining companies overseas with his friends and establishing Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company in SJ City.

  But with Ma Jian and Wang Youchang, he just mentioned it.

   Therefore, although Ma Jian knew that Zhao Guoyang had cooperated with a friend in Samba, he didn't know how much of the mining company he owned, let alone what minerals the company sold.

   Now listening to Zhao Guoyang's statement, it seems that he can be more than half of the masters in the matter of mining development and sales in Samba, which makes Ma Jian suddenly surprised.

  Of course, there are outsiders here at the moment, so it is impossible for Ma Jian to ask directly. He just raised his glass with a smile on his face, playing the role of mediating the atmosphere...

   Although there were few people for this meal, it took two full hours to finish.

  Basically, Shen Zhirong, Hu Jun, and Chen Guolin took turns asking Zhao Guoyang questions, and then Director Ma made jokes on the sidelines.

   It would be fine to just ask questions, but what makes Zhao Guoyang even more unbearable is that these three big shots have to clink glasses with him from time to time.

   Clinking glasses with several big shots, of course Zhao Guoyang couldn't lick them, he had to see a significant decline.

   After going back and forth, he drank a lot of the wine. In the end, Zhao Guoyang could only raise his hands to "surrender", begging for mercy repeatedly.

  Seeing that Zhao Guoyang's tongue was a little big, Ma Jian next to him complained secretly.

He coughed, raised his glass with a smirk and said, "Chairman Shen, Guoyang is too full to drink any more. We didn't bring a driver with us this trip, and I don't know how to drive. If he falls down , we won’t be able to go back today…”

   "Hey, it's no big deal if you can't go back today. Why don't you just stay at our Shagang Group for one night?"

Shen Zhirong pretended to show displeasure, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, does Director Ma think that the hotels of our Shagang Group are not high enough? That's okay, I'll send someone to Hong Kong City to book a hotel for you two distinguished guests ..."

   "Ah! No, no, I didn't mean that, Chairman Shen, you misunderstood!" Ma Jian raised his hands weakly.

   "It's fine if it's not!"

  Shen Zhirong laughed and said: "Then it's settled, you will stay here for a day, and I'll have someone arrange a room for you right away, have a good meal and rest!"

   Mr. Shen had already talked about this, and Ma Jian couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly agree.

  Actually, his original plan today was to discuss the matter in half a day, and then go to the adjacent Jincang City with Zhao Guoyang in the afternoon. There happened to be a factory for motorcycle lamps there, so he could inspect it by the way.

   But looking at Zhao Guoyang's dazed look now, it is definitely impossible to leave.

   Having no choice, Ma Jian could only sigh secretly, and gave up the idea.

  …

   When Zhao Guoyang woke up, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

   Forced to open his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, he saw that he was lying on the bed at the moment, in a standard room.

  The lights in the room were so bright that it hurt people's eyes.

  Zhao Guoyang raised his hand and looked at his watch, he slapped his head in shock and said, "Yeah, it's already past six o'clock. He also said to make Xiao Ruoyu wait for me to eat at night, so don't make him wait!"

   Hastily got up to tidy up, Zhao Guoyang picked up the phone at hand, and hung up on Xiao Ruoyu's office.

   After a while, the phone was connected, followed by Xiao Ruoyu's lazy voice.

   "Hello, Shagang Group Technical Department, where is it?"

   "Hey, Lao Xiao, it's me, Zhao Guoyang!"

  Hearing that it was Zhao Guoyang, Xiao Ruoyu had a place to vent his grievances.

  He suddenly said full of resentment: "Guoyang, you know how to call me, what time is it? You want to starve me and Zhongyao to death!"

  "Zhongyao?" Hearing Xiao Ruoyu's complaints, Zhao Guoyang's mouth twitched, knowing that the "Zhongyao" that Lao Xiao was talking about was probably the "glasses girl" he saw this morning.

   "I'm sorry, Lao Xiao!"

  Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang quickly greeted Xiao Ruoyu and said, "You can't blame me entirely for this matter. Who told Director Chen of your technical department to force me hard at noon."

   "You don't know. During lunch, you, the leader, were the one who was the most active in drinking with me. If you didn't know, you would think I owe him money!"

  Zhao Guoyang's complaint made Xiao Ruoyu laugh.

  He suddenly said cheerfully: "Come on, Guoyang, our leader told me about this when he went to work in the afternoon. Otherwise, do you think I will wait for you until now?"

   "Hey, when Minister Chen mentioned you in the afternoon, we were very proud of him for a while. He said that you are good at everything, but you can't drink..."

   Being complained by Xiao Ruoyu for a while, Zhao Guoyang could only scratch his head with a helpless expression.

   Speaking of drinking capacity, Zhao Guoyang is actually pretty good.

  But it was no coincidence that the people he met at the wine table were all masters.

  From the first two presidents of the Jiangyu Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative; to Liao Jingsheng and Ning Xiaohong; and then to several leaders of the Siyang Group, almost everyone is a master of wine.

  Even Bai Rou, Miao Siqi, these weak-looking lesbians, seem to drink more than themselves.

  Thinking so far, Zhao Guoyang can only lament: "It's not that our side is too weak, but the enemy is too strong!"

   Shaking his head vigorously to make himself more awake, Zhao Guoyang said: "Old Xiao, let's stop talking nonsense, let's come out and talk."

   "I remember you kid passed the driver's license test in college, come out and drive my car, let's go to your Gangcheng city for dinner, today, I treat you!"

   "I do have a driver's license, but I just drive... You use your factory's car casually, does your horse factory manager have any objection?" Xiao Ruoyu asked suspiciously.

  Zhao Guoyang snorted and explained: "It's not the car I drove last time, it's my own car! Anyway, just hurry down and see you in the parking lot under your office building!"

   After finishing speaking, Zhao Guoyang hung up the phone.

   On the other end, listening to the busy tone on the phone, Xiao Ruoyu blankly looked at the girl with glasses who was leaning over to listen and said, "Zhongyao, did I hear correctly just now? This guy Guoyang said that he has his own car?"

  The glasses girl nodded seriously: "I can assure you, you heard me right! It's easy to know the truth, so let's go downstairs and have a look, right?"

   "Yes, yes, let's go downstairs and see what kind of medicine this guy Guoyang sells in his gourd!" Xiao Ruoyu said impatiently.
