Chapter 1176 One sentence
Saito Jun fainted in surprise, and some people almost fainted with joy. Zhang Tianrui has now fully understood that this so-called Korean indium mine incident is a complete scam directed by Saito Jun. It's ridiculous that he not only helped Zhou, but also almost acted as the pioneer of Saito Junichi.
No wonder the old man turned his mind a few more times. They had known for a long time that Saito Junichi's so-called Korean indium mine was simply a scam. Now the price of indium in the international market has become sky-high. Although the transaction volume is not large, the demand for indium in the international market has always been very hungry. When Japan first started to sell indium, the reason why there was no doubt that someone deliberately bought it was that the demand for indium exceeded the supply in the international market every year.
"Da Ke, have you known that Japanese trick for a long time?" Zhang Tianrui took five tons of indium and was very down-to-earth. Looking at the current price in the international market, Zhu Daidong must want to teach Japan a good lesson. Nearly 70% of China's exports of indium are bought by Japan every year. China has raised prices, and of course, Japan is the most injured.
"I heard that you are very close to those Japanese, didn't you notice it?" Wang Dike said with a smile.
"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." Zhang Tianrui said carelessly, "If only I had listened to you about this earlier."
"I said it earlier, but you have to listen to it. Well, has your view of Zhu Daidong changed through this matter? Wang Dake said with a smile.
"You officials in the system have too many crooked intestines in your stomachs. I, a kind and simple young man, can't beat you." Zhang Tianrui said with deep emotion that this time... he was the person concerned, but he did not see many situations clearly at that time.
"We never play." Wang Dake said seriously that maybe some things, in Zhang Tianrui's opinion, may be for fun, but they have been seriously thought about every step. Not only must we be treated rigorously... but we should even take political risks.
"Yes, playing is work for you." Zhang Tianrui joked.
"Tianrui, do you think Zhu Daidong had a good time this time?" Wang Dake said with a smile that he had no choice but to be cynical about Zhang Tianrui's cynical attitude.
"It's okay, but it's not so easy for him to completely control the price of indium. As far as I know... There are still many small smelters in Gunan and Guangdong. No matter what national strategic materials they are, they will not pursue profit maximization. As long as the price is right, they will sell indium at Zhang Tianrui said lightly.
"Your worries are very reasonable, but Zhu Daidong has long considered this problem. A few days ago, the environmental protection department of our province began to carry out centralized rectification of small smelters in the province. All indium products and indium products were uniformly acquired by the Provincial Economic and Trade Department. Guangdong Province will also adopt such a government. Now at least more than 80% of small smelters have been ordered to stop production. Wang Dake introduced that Zhu Daidong's father-in-law is just in charge of environmental protection. In a small smelter in Gunan Province, the environmental protection department will naturally cooperate with Muchuan's behavior.
The department of the Environmental Protection Bureau in Guangdong is coordinated by the old people in Beijing... Environmental protection and economic development... are also a pair of contradictions. Especially for some economically underdeveloped areas, they can tolerate environmental pollution, only requiring that the economy can develop, and taxes are guaranteed... fiscal revenue can increase. As for the damage to the environment, it can be managed after economic development.
However, the more developed the economy is, the better the protection of the environment will be done. After the reform and opening up, Guangdong quickly became the leader of the national economic development because of special economic policies. After the economic development, the local government cooperated very well with these enterprises that pollute the environment. The small smelters in Guangdong were basically caught this time.
"It seems that Zhu Daidong can't help anything. Da Ke, you should have told me this news earlier. Now I just bought five tons of indium. If I could do it a day earlier, I'm afraid I can get at least 20 tons.
No, you have to tell Zhu Daidong to ask Muchuan Smelter to sell me dozens of tons of indium at cost. Zhang Tianrui said that the difference between one ton of indium is more than four million dollars. If you have dozens or hundreds of tons in your hand, I'm afraid you really don't have to worry about making money in your life.
"Didn't I tell you the next day? But you don't believe it. What can I do? And your relationship with that Japanese seems to be also good. If I told you in advance, wouldn't Zhu Daidong's plan be ruined? Wang Dake smiled and said that with Zhang Tianrui's character, he would definitely not understand at that time. As long as he revealed half a word to Saito Junichi, Zhu Daidong's acquisition plan would be aborted.
Although the effect is the same in the end, Saito Junichi, who does small actions, has not been punished. How can this make Zhu Daidong get out of the sultry in his chest?
"It is often others who know themselves best." Zhang Tianrui sighed. After receiving Wang Dake's call, he did not immediately take action, but called Saito Junichi for verification, and also told the other party the news. Although he woke up in time at that time, with the shrewdness of Saito Junichi, I'm afraid he had already guessed the truth of the matter at that time. However, the next day, someone still threw 20 tons of indium, and he was lucky to get five tons of indium.
"You can get five tons of indium this time, which is a profit. In fact, I don't think making money is the most important thing. Is money really heavy for you?" Wang Dike said that people who want to get into the eyes of money can only make a little money. Only when you don't have the concept of making money in your heart, money will chase you instead.
"This question is too profound for me. You'd better give me some time to think about it." Zhang Tianrui said.
"There are some things that others can't help you. You can only rely on yourself." Wang Dake said it meaningfully.
Wu Chengke actually wants to find an opportunity to tell Zhu Daidong some things in the current office. The municipal government once gave a special notice on the supply of indium to the Muchuan smelter, but now, many people in the office have a stomachache about this notice. Especially recently, many people have been talking about that Zhu Daidong, a foreign monk, can't read the scriptures of Muchuan. Originally, the Kikawa smelter had a good indium, and the export revenue was 500,000 US dollars every month. As soon as he came... he immediately asked the Muchuan smelter to stop exporting. Isn't this playing the piano randomly?
And now I heard that internationally, the price of indium changes three times a day, and the price is falling every day. If the indium of Muchuan smelter is not disposed of, it will become a pile of garbage in the future. If that happens, Zhu Daidong will be in the main responsibility.
Since serving as Zhu Daidong's secretary, as long as something happens in the office... he usually takes the right opportunity to tell Zhu Daidong. However, he has reminded him several times about indium this time, but Zhu Daidong didn't seem to hear it and didn't respond at all. After he returned to the municipal government office, others asked him about Mayor Zhu's attitude. He was hesitant and difficult to answer.
Even Zhong Zhaoyun called him over and asked him several times... What did Mayor Zhu plan for the indium of the Muchuan smelter? It was not easy for these leaders to ask Zhu Daidong face to face, so they had to let his secretary serve as the second stepr. However, the fight between Wu Chengke and Zhu Daidong is still short, and there are some things that can't figure out Zhu Daidong's temper. The only thing he can say is three words: I don't know.
A few days ago, even Du Zhongde of Kikawa Smelter often called him... to ask if there was any new policy on indium in the city. Wu Chengke asked Du Zhongde at that time, didn't Mayor Zhu set a price for you, 4 million US dollars per ton? However, Du Zhongde replied with a bitter face, not to mention 4 million dollars, which is 400,000 US dollars per ton. Now no one cares about the indium in the smelter.
But today, when Du Zhongde called again, his tone was completely different... Wu Chengke could obviously feel his anger on the phone.
"Wu Ke, is Mayor Zhu free in the afternoon? I want to report to him about indium. Du Zhongde does have a reason to be happy. Just now, someone has placed an order for the Muchuan smelter... If you want two tons of indium, the price is according to the quotation of the Muchuan smelter: 4.5 million US dollars. Two tons is nine million US dollars, which is almost more than the total profit of the original two-year indium exported by the original Muchuan smelter.
The indium exported by Muchuan smelter every year is about 260 tons. According to the original price, it is 20,000 US dollars per ton, which can generate 2.5 million US dollars per year. However, the 2.5 million US dollars is not a net profit, and the refining fee needs to be deducted. The annual profit can be 4 million US dollars, which is very good.
"Factory Director Du, why did you come to make up for this hot bait?" Wu Chengke frowned. No matter what the price of indium is now, Mayor Zhu's starting point is always good. He ran to the Kikawa smelter five or six times for indium alone. And after coming back, I also read a lot of information about indium, some of which were borrowed by Wu Chengke from the library, and some were even bought from abroad. Mayor Zhu's English level is very good, and he can directly understand the original works of foreign countries. Even Wu Chengke is ashamed of himself.
"Wu Ke, it's a good thing today. Today, there are international buyers who are interested in the indium of our factory. The price offered by the other party is 450,000 US dollars per ton!" Du Zhongde said excitedly that when he received a phone call from the factory sales department, he didn't believe that such a thing would happen at all. But later, Zhang Tianrui of Hengtian Foreign Trade Company called him in person and confirmed to him that this matter was absolutely true. The other party had paid the advance payment. As long as the customs declaration procedures here were completed and the goods arrived at the other party's port, the balance could be paid. Only then did he believe that the spring of Muchuan Smelter was really coming.
In Muchuan City, perhaps Du Zhongde supports Zhu Daidong the most in addition to Zhou Baoning.
Although he had such a short period of hesitation and suspicion under the influence of some leading cadres in the city some time ago, he did not believe that the price of indium would fall to a lower price than the original price. Even if South Korea really found indium ore, are Koreans fools? They pay far more attention to resources than China.
Two days ago, Zhu Daidong called him and asked him to take the indium of Muchuan Smelter to the international market for trading. The price was 4.5 million US dollars per ton. This price has not recovered Du Zhongde for a long time. It turned out that when Saito Jun came to his door, Mayor Zhu asked for a quotation of 4 million US dollars. Now in the international market, it has risen by another 500,000 US dollars. Will others accept such a price?
"Four to five million dollars? Director Du, are you kidding? Wu Chengke said in surprise that he didn't believe such news very much. How is that possible? How much is it in RMB for 4.5 million US dollars? More than 36 million yuan, Wu Chengke was shocked by this figure. This price is more than three times more expensive than gold.
"Wu Ke, I can joke with anyone, but I dare not joke with you. Now the other party has paid the deposit and is just waiting for us to deliver the goods. Du Zhongde said excitedly that two tons of indium can be exchanged for nine million US dollars. Such a huge profit is destined to create an economic miracle for the Muchuan Smelter this year.
"Well, I'll report to Mayor Zhu right away." Wu Chengke put down the phone, quickly walked into the big office inside, and reported the matter to Zhu Daidong.
"Let Du Zhongde come back in 15 minutes." Zhu Daidong said faintly that although such a result was expected to him, when a customer really came to book, he couldn't help but be a little excited. During this period, the city paid great attention to the indium of the Muchuan smelter. Although he has obtained Zhou Baoning's understanding, he must come up with strong evidence to convince the cadres of the whole city. And now Du Zhongde's news is the best proof.
Zhu Daidong took the initiative to call Zhang Tianrui. The indium export of Muchuan smelter is still represented by Hengtian Foreign Trade Company, but the price is no longer determined by the foreign trade company. Hengtian Foreign Trade Company acts as an agent for import and export, and charges a handling fee of 8% each time. For Zhang Tianrui, this is almost a net profit. Even according to the current indium, he can earn 360,000 US dollars per ton. Such a profit is much more profitable than his original highest profit.
In the past, the indium Zhang Tianrui got from the Muchuan Smelter was 20,000 US dollars per ton, and the price in the international market was 200,000 US dollars. He could earn 180,000 US dollars per ton at most. And now, he can make at least 360,000 US dollars in a ton. He really has nothing to say about such a profit.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your care for our Muchuan smelter." Zhu Daidong said that Zhang Tianrui has five tons of indium in his hand. Although he got it for 500,000 US dollars a ton, now, it is eight times the profit as soon as he turns hands.
"Daidong, if you say so, you will look down on me. In the future, as long as it's your business, whether there is a profit or not, whether you can make money or not, as long as you open your mouth and go through fire and water, you will not hesitate. Zhang Tianrui said loudly.
