Material Empire

While Sun Zhenjiang and others were busy hoarding steel, Qin Hai was receiving guests from Japan's Chunshan Magnetic Materials Co., Ltd. in the Daqin Group office in Beijing. A total of two people came to visit Qinhai, one was the technical director of Chunshan Sadao Hirano, the other is the head of the purchasing department, Tomohisa. + .3.o

"Chairman Qin, very happy, we met again." As soon as Hirano Masao saw Qin Hai, he took a deep bow and said with a smile. In his heart, Qin Hai's feelings are mixed. He thanked Qin Hai for transferring the technology of thorium alloy to Chunshan Club, and hated Qin Hai for monopolizing the supply of rare earth, forcing Chunshan Club to purchase at a high price. Hafnium oxide and hafnium oxide. Without this, Chunshan would not be as passive as it is now.

Qin Hai knew what Hirano was thinking, and he smiled and responded: "Mr. Hirano, welcome to visit China again, and hope that the cooperation between our two companies will be deeper and wider."

"This is also the wish of our President Miyagawa." Hirano Masao said, and then he introduced Qin Hai, the elder friend of his companion, to the two, shaking hands and greeting each other, not to mention.

After the greetings, the guests and the guests sat down separately, and Qin Haiming said to the two Japanese questioningly: "Mr. Hirano and Mr. Nagatomo, what are you doing this time? If it is something our Daqin Group can do, please also please You're welcome, we are partners and everything is easy to talk about. "

Hirano Masao looked at Nagatomo Nagato, Nagatomo Nakama coughed gently, and said, "Chairman Qin, when we come to China this time, there are indeed some things that I want to trouble your company. I wonder if Chairman Qin can give us to offer comfort."

"Oh? What is it, Mr. Changyou just said it." Qin Hai said cheerfully.

"We want to trouble your company, that is, the issue of thorium oxide and thallium oxide ..." Nagatomo Nakajima said here. He deliberately paused, waiting for Qin Hai to speak.

Qin Hai was too lazy to speak for the other party. He pretended to be confused and said, "Thobium oxide and thorium oxide, these two products are rare earth oxides. Is there any problem?"

"Uh ... we mean. I hope your company can increase the market supply of these two products." Chang You Yongzheng can no longer hold it, the brand is in the hands of the other party, people are not in a hurry, he is a little way nor.

"I don't quite understand, Xiaosu, do you know what Mr. Changyou said?" Qin Hai continued to play silly and kicked the ball to Su Yabo, the office director who was accompanying him.

Su Yabo nodded and said, "I probably know a little, President Qin. That's the case. Chunshan Club hopes to purchase 200 tons of plutonium oxide and 50 tons of plutonium oxide. It once sent a salesperson to our office to contact. But We do n’t have so many sources of supply, so we ca n’t meet their needs. I think Mr. Changyou came for this. ”

"Yes, we are here for this reason." Nagatomo Yoshihiro nodded again and again.

"200 tons of plutonium oxide and 50 tons of plutonium oxide ... this seems a bit difficult." Qin Hai frowned into a frown, said: "The output of rare earth is just that. You need too much ... yes Now, what do you want so much plutonium oxide and plutonium oxide for? "

"..."

Hirano Masao had no blood squirting out. I've seen people pretending to be deaf and dumb, never seen them so unruly. The patent of thorium ferroalloy is in Qin Hai's hand and was also licensed to Chunshan by Qin Hai's hand. Can Qin Hai not know the purpose of Chunshan's procurement of thorium oxide and thorium oxide?

It cost a lot of money to get a technology patent, but it was impossible to produce a product because the raw material supply was not available. If it is said that Qin Hai did not deliberately reduce the shipments of hafnium oxide and hafnium oxide. In order to curb the production of Chunshan Company, even a fool would not believe it.

Understanding this in his heart, Hirano had to pretend to be polite and could not turn his face with Qin Hai. He said with patience: "Chairman Qin. This is the case. Our company has exchanged technology patents with your company. After that, further development of samarium ferroalloy was carried out, and several products have been researched and ready to be put into production. The proportion of samarium and samarium in samarium ferroalloy is very high, so our company needs to purchase a lot of samarium oxide and samarium oxide to maintain A certain amount of production. Your two companies are in a cooperative relationship. I hope your company will support our company in this regard. "

"Oh oh, I remember." Qin Hai patted his head and said as if suddenly realized: "Yes, ferroalloy, this patent seems to have been developed by our company first, and you exchanged NdFeB with your company. Patent. At present, our main energy is to produce neodymium-iron-boron, but samarium-iron alloys have not paid special attention to this aspect, so I have forgotten about it. "

"Your company has a lot of business. It is normal for Chairman Qin to think of it," said Chang Youyong, knowing that the other party is playing with himself, and he has to pretend to be invisible, which is the taste of being controlled by others.

"Director Su said just now that you want to purchase 200 tons of plutonium oxide and 50 tons of plutonium oxide, is that so?" Qin Hai asked.

"Exactly," Nagato yelled.

"This is all right," Qin Hai said cheerfully.

"Really?" Nagatomo's eyes brightened. He never expected that Qin Hai would have agreed to them so easily. He was still preparing to bargain with Qin Hai.

"No problem." Qin Hai reconfirmed, he turned to Su Yabo and said, "Xiao Su, this matter will be left to you. You and Mr. Changyou will sign a contract to ensure that it will be provided to Chunshan in the next five years. The price of 200 tons of plutonium oxide and 50 tons of plutonium oxide will be determined by the Group Headquarters. "

"What? Five years!" Chang You Yongzheng was still full of joy. He almost jumped when he heard Qin Hai's last sentence. It only took five years to supply 200 tons of dysprosium oxide and 50 tons of dysprosium oxide. Chunshan has long starved. What is the difference between this and non-supply?

"Why, is there a problem?" Qin Hai entered the state of pretending to be stupid again, looking at Changyou Yongzheng and asking.

"Yes." Changyou Yongzheng said, "our company's demand for thorium oxide and thorium oxide is very large. This figure is the annual demand. If we take five years to purchase these raw materials, it will not be possible. The requirement of mass production means that our company will fall into severe operating difficulties. "

"200 tons of plutonium oxide per year, isn't this realistic?" Qin Haidao, "The output of plutonium oxide has not always been high. In the past, the annual output ... According to my impression, it is more than 100 tons per year. This is more than 100 We can't provide all of your tons of plutonium oxide, after all, we still have some domestic demand, and there are other companies in the world that need plutonium oxide, which we also need to consider. "

"I know this," said Changyou Yongyong. "According to what we know, the Chinese government has handed over the mining and management rights of rare earth to your company. Your company should be able to control the production of various rare earth products. I would like to ask for instructions. Chairman Qin doubled or even tripled the production of hafnium oxide and hafnium oxide to meet the needs of international customers, including Chunshan. "

"This is difficult." Qin Hai shook his head, "The Daqin Group is only entrusted by the government to temporarily take charge of the operation of rare earths. The development and utilization of rare earths is ultimately determined by the state, and we cannot take the initiative. Not to mention To double the output of ytterbium oxide and ytterbium oxide, a large amount of investment is required. We need to build more than three rare earth refineries, and we must invest at least 200 million yuan. "

"... I'm afraid I can't use so much investment?" Hirano Masao couldn't help but interject. "But it's 200 tons of plutonium oxide. Why do we need three refineries? Also, the equipment of the rare earth refinery is very simple. How can it be used? To 200 million yuan? "

"Mr. Hirano didn't know." Qin Hai explained patiently, "Thorium and thorium are associated with other rare earth elements. To increase the production of thorium oxide and thorium oxide, it is necessary to increase the production of other rare earth oxides at the same time. As a result, the total output has increased. As for the rare earth refinery, the old-fashioned production process is really simple and the investment is not much. But our State Rare Earth Office has issued a new production specification, which requires the use of rare earth resources to be improved. To reduce pollution, according to this new production standard, the investment is very large. 200 million yuan is still a relatively conservative estimate. "

"What kind of new norm is ~ www.readwn.com ~ How can it increase the cost to this extent? Chairman Qin, can I look at the requirements of this new norm?" Hirano Masao. He has always dealt with rare earths. He knows a little bit about the technology of rare earth extraction process. Even with Japan's most advanced extraction technology, it is not enough for a factory to invest tens of millions of yuan. You know, this factory is only producing hundreds of tons of plutonium oxide.

Qin Hai smiled slightly and said, "This new specification is still confidential, so I'm not in a position to disclose it to Mr. Hirano. I also ask Mr. Hirano to forgive me. The difficulties in the production of thorium oxide are like this, please understand."

Hearing Qin Hai's words, both Hirano Masao and Nagatomo Nagata understood. There is only one production standard, and what can be said about confidentiality is clearly a pretext written by Qin Hai himself. But Qin Hai insisted that such a standard existed, and they really couldn't refute it. In fact, in international economic cooperation, something similar to this is too common. To put it bluntly, it is to find an excuse to ask the price, and Chunshan Company itself has not done such a thing.

"So, Chairman Qin, can you give us some pointers on what we must do to obtain a supply of 200 tons of plutonium oxide and 50 tons of plutonium oxide each year?" Chang You Yongzheng decided not to go round the corner with Qin Hai, and he would use The easiest way is to know Qin Hai's reserve price. (To be continued ...)
