Chapter 1142 **Very big
After receiving a call from Wang Dake, Zhang Tianrui hesitated for a long time. Zhu Daidong has just arrived in Muchuan now. What business can be introduced to him? At the beginning, because of the nameless recreation of the unknown company, although he also got the overseas agency of the unknown recreation, as the unknown company began to build factories overseas, his agency area is becoming less and less. In addition to making a bucket of gold in the first year, the current profit is not as good as the indium export of Kagawa Smelter.
Will we cooperate with Zhu Daidong again this time? His main business is foreign trade export. In addition to indium, what else can Muchuan export? Even if there is, it seems that I can't do it alone.
Kikawa does not have its own customs. The year before last, Chudu Customs began to build an office in Kikawa, but until now, the office has not been established. All the goods exported from Muchuan City also need to be handled by Chudu Customs. According to the reliable information obtained by Zhang Tianrui, the Muchuan Office of Chudu Customs will not be approved by the General Administration of Customs until the end of the year at the earliest. At that time, this office will also be managed by Chudu Customs, and his relationship with Chudu Customs will basically be maintained by Zhou Chaohui.
Chen Baiyan, the director of Chudu Customs, and Lin Guiqian, the director of the General Administration of Customs, are the old subordinates of Zhou Chaohui's grandfather. If he is separated from Zhou Chaohui, even if all the goods are normally reported, there is no obvious advantage compared with other foreign trade companies. What's more, the main reason why he can get some business is that he has a good relationship with the customs.
After thinking about it, he felt that this matter must be discussed with Zhou Chaohui. For a long time, he has been doing foreign trade exports with Zhou Chaohui. And even if he can get a big order, Zhou Chaohui will definitely come and get a piece of the pie. Instead of working hard to take him down alone and being divided by Zhou Chaohui, it's better to pull him over at the beginning.
"Zhang Tianrui, are you out of your mind? Can you believe Zhu Daidong's words? If he fools you casually, do you take it seriously? After listening to Zhang Tianrui explain this to him, Zhou Chaohui was furious. He just got the news. Starting from next month, the shipments of indium will be reduced by half. Originally, nearly 20 tons of indium per month are now only five tons. The factory price has increased from the original $20,000 to $100,000. Such a price. There is no discount on the international price, which makes him lose 100 million yuan. How can he not be angry?
"Zhou Shao, did you listen to what Zhu Daidong said first?" Zhang Tianrui said. He has had several exchanges with Zhu Daidong. It's true that I didn't take any advantage, but I haven't suffered any losses. Even if it was the case of Chudu this time, it was his own loss. Zhu Daidong did not pursue it again, which had already given Wang Dake face.
"I want to listen to you. I won't listen anyway." Zhou Chaohui said impatiently.
Of course, Zhang Tianrui will not make a phone call behind Zhou Chaohui's back. He walked aside, took out the phone and dialed Zhu Daidong. Since I am a businessman. You can't always be in a good mood, the principle of everything. It's all for the purpose of making money.
"It's Mayor Zhu, right? I'm Zhang Tianrui from Hengtian Foreign Trade Company." Zhang Tianrui also dialed Zhu Daidong's personal mobile phone number. If he dialed his secretary first and then transferred it to Zhu Daidong, he would feel ashamed.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Zhu Daidong said lightly that he was not surprised by Zhang Tianrui's call. If it was Zhou Chaohui, he might disdain to have sex with him again. For people like Zhou Chaohui, money is small and face is big. He has lost face here. Now, no matter how big the business is, I'm afraid he won't come to talk to him.
"Mayor Zhu, you are getting bigger and bigger now, but your temper is also rising. As soon as I get to Muchuan, it will cut off my way of life." Zhang Tianrui said bitterly that the notice from Muchuan to the smelter made him lose about 50 million yuan a year. Such a large amount of money, no matter who it is, will be very painful.
"Zhang is always doing big business, will he still like this little profit? Besides, if the Muchuan smelter reduces production and raises the price, you can also do it. Now the price of indium in the international market is only 200 dollars per kilogram. Have you ever thought that indium will sell for 1,000 dollars or even 2,000 dollars per kilogram? Zhu Daidong said with a smile.
"This is just what you think. It's not only Kikawa that produces indium in the world. How can you decide the price?" Zhang Tianrui said that the main importers of indium are Japan, South Korea and the United States, especially Japan and South Korea. He also wants to follow the price increase like Muchuan Smelter, but enterprises in Japan, South Korea and other countries have issued a statement to him that if they cannot provide sufficient supply, they will no longer import indium from Hengtian Foreign Trade Company. Even if you want to import, the price must be negotiated again, not 1,000 or 2,000 dollars, but 100 or even 50 dollars per kilogram.
"Indium has its special characteristics. 80% of the world's indium is in China, and more than 65 percent of China's indium is refined by Muchuan Smelter. Don't underestimate these five tons of indium. As long as you operate well, the profit may not be lower than before." Zhu Daidong reminded that indium should actually be a strategic material, but China's reserves account for the first place in the world, so the importance of indium has not been shown.
For countries with scarce resources, such metals not only need to be imported, but also must be stockpiled at any time. In a certain period of time, they can get a foreign trade company like Zhang Tianrui, but this time will never be long, because the longer the time drags, the more panicked they become.
Zhang Tianrui's face showed disdain and contempt. Zhu Daidong only knew how to be an official, but he didn't know how difficult it would be to do business with those foreigners. If only one foreign trade company does indium export, the price may be controlled, but as long as more than two foreign trade companies are doing indium export, the price will not be up to you. One Chinese is a dragon, and more than two Chinese are worms. This sentence is vividly reflected in foreign trade exports.
"Why, don't you believe it?" Zhu Daidong seemed to see Zhang Tianrui's expression and said with a smile.
"I really want to believe it, but..." Zhang Tianrui didn't say anything more, but the meaning was self-evident.
"You only need to spend a little money to buy indium from the Kikawa smelter now. I believe that in three months, at most half a year, you will be able to get the international pricing power of indium." Zhu Daidong smiled and said that he now has to devote a considerable amount of his energy to study indium. Almost all the history from the discovery of indium to now, including the price, characteristics, use and main consumption areas of indium, he knows it well.
In the period of three months to half a year, Zhu Daidong is not open-minded. Countries such as Japan and South Korea, which mainly rely on imports, may have certain reserves, but in any case, once there is no import, or the import is reduced, these people will immediately be restless. Even if they use various means to promote China's exports, such as throwing out their own reserves and suppressing prices. However, the reserves of indium in the world are only tens of thousands of tons. Even if they throw out more reserves, it is impossible to suppress it for a long time.
This requires those companies operating indium in China to have a long-term vision. As long as they can hold on for a period of time now and count the money at home in the future, they can count their hand cramps.
"Let's talk about this again, Mayor Zhu, I heard from Da Ke, do you have any business to introduce to me?" Zhang Tianrui said that he called Zhu Daidong, not to listen to him tricking him into taking money to hoard indium, but to hear what advice he had.
"Yes, do you know the Kikawa Locomotive Factory? Nowadays, the locomotives produced by the rolling stock factory are mainly used in China. In our city, we have an idea to let the locomotives produced by the rolling stock factory out of the world. Zhu Daidong said that if the locomotive factory is allowed to do the locomotive export by itself, I'm afraid it's impossible at all. A considerable part of large goods such as locomotives are intergovernmental cooperation, and the rest mainly rely on their own propaganda.
In this regard, the rolling stock factory has not received the support of the state, and its own publicity work is also lagging behind. At present, the best way is to let professional foreign trade companies act as an agent for export. Perhaps Zhang Tianrui's foreign trade company can make a lot of profits from a locomotive, but the influence of selling Chinese locomotives abroad is unparalleled.
"The locomotive exit?" Zhang Tianrui said in surprise that his idea coincided with Zhu Daidong. If his company could sell Chinese motorcycles abroad, I'm afraid even the old man at home would come forward to support it. Chinese history has a very strange sense of honor, or the dream of a great power. I am willing to sell my country's things abroad, even if the price is cheaper. Of course, as long as it is an export commodity, domestic enterprises will have the spirit of 120,000, because it is not only related to the image of the enterprise, but also to the image of the whole China.
"Yes, Muchuan Locomotive and Vehicle Factory is a first-class electric locomotive production enterprise in China. The electric motor produced is reliable in quality, low maintenance cost, and the price is also very competitive." Zhu Daidong said that the most important point, he has not said that he believes that Zhang Tianrui should also understand it.
If Zhang Tianrui does not accept such an invitation, Zhu Daidong still has an idea. At that time, he will tie the sales of indium with the export of the locomotive, and every time a locomotive is sold, a certain amount of indium will be given. At that time, even if Zhang Tianrui doesn't want to be the locomotive exit of Muchuan Locomotive Factory, it won't work. Zhu Daidong's idea has not yet taken shape, but he feels that there is a lot of room for operation.
"I can't reply to you immediately about this matter now. Maybe I have to come to Kikawa in person to see it before I can decide." Zhang Tianrui said that the export of locomotives is very large, which is very helpful for improving the image of his company and promoting his strength. As long as this matter is operational, even if Zhou Chaohui doesn't want to do it, he decides to have a try.
PS: It's late, everyone should have a monthly ticket again, right? How about a picture for Da Kelai? During this period, it is actually very hard, and it is often troubled by power outages, but it can't wait. I have been working hard to update and maintain stability. I should give some support.
