Chapter 1150 Running errands
Zhang Tianrui finally decided to visit Kipagawa, because in the past few days, he heard the news that the Gumi City Enterprise Delegation in South Korea and the Miyazaki Prefecture Entrepreneur Delegation in Japan went to Kikawa to inspect respectively. Do they really like Kikawa's investment environment and preferential policies? And as far as he knows, the entrepreneurial delegations of these two countries, although local, are involved by people from national government departments.
Even Zhang Tianrui's customers in these two countries also called him, and they also sent people to participate in the enterprise inspection team to Muchuan. He also said that he was going to visit Zhang Tianrui. If he had time, it would be better to meet him when they inspected the investment environment of Muchuan. But Zhang Tianrui didn't go to Muchuan. From the tone of those people, he believed Zhu Daidong's words.
This time, Zhang Tianrui came to Muchuan in the name of Hengtian Foreign Trade Company, and also brought an inspection team. Although he is only the boss behind Hengtian, this has become an open secret. Anyone who has contacted Hengtian Foreign Trade Company knows that the company is up to him.
Since Zhang Tianrui came to Muchuan as an open person, Zhu Daidong also officially received him at the Ying Hotel. There are six people in the group of Hengtian Foreign Trade Company, and there are more than a dozen accompanying people in Muchuan City. Originally, Zhang Tianrui was very interested when he saw Zhu Daidong sitting upright on such a formal occasion. But soon he was a little tired. Before the meeting was over, he offered to talk to Zhu Daidong in private.
"It's almost time to eat. Let's eat first." Zhu Daidong smiled and said that since Zhang Tianrui had started, the program still had to be completed. Although what I said when I met Zhang Tianrui just now was some nonsense, as long as Zhang Tianrui appeared in Muchuan. And he also came into direct contact with himself, which shows that his attitude has changed. It's just that Zhu Daidong doesn't know whether Zhou Chaohui will also participate in this matter.
"Zhu Daidong, when the Korean and Japanese entrepreneurial delegation came to Kikugawa this time, did you mention that the Kikugawa smelter should increase the production of indium?" Zhang Tianrui asked directly about the enterprises of these two countries. Although the technology is very advanced. He has strong financial strength, but when doing business with others, he is careful. Both countries have institutions specializing in China's national conditions. Such institutions provide information support to all enterprises that have economic and trade cooperation with China.
Now enterprises from Japan and South Korea come to China to invest and run factories, and they have a good understanding of China's routines. Japanese enterprises, in particular, once they arrive in China, are more shrewd than shrewd Chinese businessmen. They are very clear about what Chinese officials need. As long as they grasp this, they can maximize their interests.
"Serrecomers are really concerned about this problem." Zhu Daidong said lightly.
"How is Kikawa City ready to deal with it?" Zhang Tianrui asked, these enterprises are very damn. They are ghosts. They will not make such a request directly to Kikawa City. Instead, go directly to the relevant departments of the central government, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy and Trade, the State Council, etc. Ask them to send a message to put pressure on Kikawa. It forces Kikawa to make concessions, and once Kikawa makes concessions, it will be out of control.
Zhang Tianrui guesses that as long as Zhu Daidong can't resist the pressure above, not only the supply of indium must return to the original level, but the price will also plummet. At present, the price of a ton of indium in the international market is 200,000 US dollars, and then it will fall below 100,000 US dollars. It's not news.
"Serve some companies in Japan want to buy indium directly from Kikawa, and we agreed." Zhu Daidong said lightly.
"What? Didn't you say you wanted to go through normal foreign trade channels? Zhang Tianrui stood up in surprise. Say it.
"We will talk about the price and the specific export affairs at that time. It still needs to be handled by Hengtian Foreign Trade Company. Zhu Daidong said with a faint smile.
"Since you have all agreed, what else do you want me to do?" Zhang Tianrui stared at Zhu Daidong and said with his teeth.
"Mr. Zhang, don't be so excited. Can you let me finish my words?" Zhu Daidong said that people like Zhang Tianrui are impulsive and reckless. People like them can make money in business by relying on the blessings of their ancestors. If his grandfather was not the former deputy director of the National Economic and Trade Commission, now Zhang Tianrui's Hengtian Foreign Trade Company would have lost even scum.
"Tell me." Zhang Tianrui gasped and said.
"Our quotation for indium to South Korean enterprises is 2 million US dollars per ton, while the price of Japanese enterprises is 3 million US dollars per ton. We can give the foreign trade company a 5% handling fee. Can you calculate how much profit loss will be to Hengtian Foreign Trade Company? Zhu Daidong said with a smile.
"Two million dollars a ton? Do you really dare to speak? How would they agree to such a price? Zhang Tianrui said sarcastically that there are only 200,000 tons in the international market now, but Kikawa's indium will rise to 2 million US dollars, and it costs 3 million a ton for Japanese enterprises. Is their money blown by the wind? They have to spend every penny in practice. How can you let Kikawa kill them as fat pigs?
"If there were a ton of indium and three million dollars now, which one would you choose?" Zhu Daidong asked.
"Of course it's three million dollars!" Zhang Tianrui said, is it still a choice? Even if he is worth more than 100 million yuan, he will still be jealous if he makes millions of dollars in profits.
"If I had to choose, I would choose a ton of indium. Three million dollars is just a pile of banknotes. When people don't have enough, just start the machine to print more. But what about indium? Even if machines are started all over the world, there are tens of thousands of tons in total. Indium is an unrenewable resource. The annual international demand for indium is more than 400 tons, but in fact, only more than 300 tons can be provided, and the recovery of indium is only 40 tons per year. In ten years, the price of indium is likely to be more than ten times what it is now. Zhu Daidong said firmly that as long as Muchuan City can strengthen its established policies, it is inevitable that the price of indium will rise.
However, for Zhu Daidong, even if the price rises, he does not want Muchuan Smelter to provide all the inventory. He has said hello to Du Zhongde that the Kikawa smelter must increase the inventory of ten tons of indium every year. If he can't do it, he will give it to those who can do it.
Zhao Jinhai's arrival made many cadres in Muchuan City see the weight of Zhu Daidong's speech in the municipal party committee. Many people know Wen Fuliang's attitude towards Zhu Daidong in the hotel next to the wholesale market in Yuesong District. After Wen Fuliang was dismissed this time, the dialogue between Wen Fuliang and Zhu Daidong was widely spread. Many people think that Wen Fuliang was crazy at that time. Even if Zhu Daidong is young, even if Zhu Daidong is only the acting mayor, and even if Zhu Daidong is not also the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, can you, the director of public security, contradict Zhu Daidong face to face?
At that time, Zhu Daidong didn't say much about Wen Fuliang's rebuttalion, but at the right time, Wen Fuliang was only temporarily suspended from work by the municipal party committee. After the Chen Biao incident, he had a great chance to resume his work. However, Zhu Daidong proposed that it was not possible for Wen Fuliang to stop working and must be removed from his post. Some people even rumored that Zhu Daidong originally proposed to remove Wen Fuliang from his post. If the Municipal Party Committee makes a resolution to remove Wen Fuliang from the position of director of the Public Security Bureau, Wen Fuliang's political life can come to an end in advance.
Wen Fuliang was removed from office, which was a disaster for him. Perhaps this disaster has its own human factors, but the most critical thing is that the external causes touch the internal causes. And this is a good thing for Zhu Daidong. He not only transferred a familiar cadre to Muchuan City as the acting director of the Public Security Bureau, but also established his prestige in the minds of the successful Muchuan City cadres. After all, no one wants to be Wen Fuliang's second!
"Even so, your price is too ridiculous, isn't it? I don't believe they will accept it." Zhang Tianrui sighed. He admitted that there was something about what Zhu Daidong said. Indium is a strategic material and cannot be measured by money. According to Zhu Daidong's current quotation, the price of indium has far exceeded that of gold.
"They didn't accept it, but next time, if they come to contact us again, we will raise the price on the basis of this price." Zhu Daidong said that indium is a necessary material used in guidance equipment. For strategic materials, if they are lacking, the importance of these things can no longer be measured by money.
"I'm afraid they won't come to talk to you then." Zhang Tianrui said coldly that Zhu Daidong had at least been in the officialdom for so long, and he didn't know how he got along with the current acting mayor.
"I know, or what are you doing here? Do you think this 5% handling fee is so easy to take? Zhu Daidong said that if he plays riddles with people like Zhang Tianrui, he doubts whether he can understand his meaning accurately with Zhang Tianrui's IQ and clarify the matter with him, things will be much easier.
"I said, why are you so kind? Since I have to work hard, the 5% handling fee is definitely not enough, at least ten points. Zhang Tianrui jumped up. Zhu Daidong really did everything. His relationship with him, only when he was the secretary of the Furong County Party Committee, had a short honeymoon period. The last time he was arrested by the Chudu Public Security Bureau, thanks to him, but now Zhu Daidong dares to shamelessly let himself go to Beijing to help. It's really unreasonable for him to be active!
"This is some information about indium. I believe that as long as those old men know the important strategic position of indium, they will never support the unreasonable requirements of Japan, South Korea and other countries." Zhu Daidong said lightly, and then took out a few detailed information about indium from the bag. Although it was very detailed, it was only a few pages. Moreover, Zhu Daidong also carefully made the font on the information very large and bold, so that even old and dizzy people can see it clearly.
