Material Empire - v2 Chapter 760

“Hahahaha, President Sun is here. Come and join us soon.”

In the private room of a high-end restaurant near Hongyuan Iron and Steel Co., Pang Yongzheng enthusiastically held Sun Zhenjiang’s hand and gave him to the guest table, while he was sitting next to the host. Xiang Pengda sat down on the other side of Sun Zhenjiang and accompany his smile diligently. Hu Xiaoshuo, Pang Yongzhang’s secretary, was busy handling it and ordered the waiter to serve food and drink.

“Always Sun hasn’t come to our Red Steel for a long time, hasn’t it? The business has grown big and we don’t like our small steel temple?” Pang Yongzhang said to Sun Zhenjiang in an exaggerated tone. Although he said in front of Pengda that he did not want to meet Sun Zhenjiang, when he really met, he still had to show his enthusiasm. Regardless, Sun Zhenjiang’s background is not something Pang Yongzheng can ignore. As the saying goes, hitting a dog is still It depends on the host … well, even if this statement is not very applicable in this place, anyway, everyone understands it.

Sun Zhenjiang knew what Pang Yongkun was thinking. He smiled stubbornly and said, “President Zong is criticizing me. Where can I dare to look down on Red Steel, Xiao Sun? I think I’m a small person, not in the eyes of President Pang. , So I dare not disturb Mr. Pang. “

“Haha, where does Sun say anything, if you are small people, don’t we all become nanomaterials, haha, haha.” Pang Yongzhang said a cold joke, and then he laughed first.

“Come here, let’s drink first. I respect Mr. Sun first.”

He raised his glass to Pengda and started toasting. Then Sun Zhenjiang stood up to respect Pang Yongzhang’s wine, and Pang Yongzhang quickly paid his respects. Hu Xiaoshuo was named after General Pang’s blood pressure was too high to drink more alcohol. On behalf of Pang Yongzheng, he respected the second round of wine, and Sun Zhenjiang turned around and respected Pengda in the name of the two-year friendship. This kind of toasting and anti-toasting game, tossed for ten minutes.

Drink three times. Sun Zhenjiang took out the cigarette case, gave each one a cigarette, and then held the cigarette in one hand. Holding the glass in one hand, pretending to be a gossip. Entered the topic: “General Manager Pang, in the last two months, the country has strict control over iron ore. On the Red Steel side, the pressure is also great, right?”

Pang Yongji nodded. Since the topic has not entered the scope of iron ore trading, he might as well say a few words.

“Yeah. Recently, the Economic and Trade Commission issued a death order, asking all steel companies to suspend the negotiations with Vale and BHP Billiton iron ore, and negotiated with the negotiating team of the Economic and Trade Commission for unified negotiations. , There is no right to speak. “Pang Yongzhang sighed.

“It’s enough to be a little daughter-in-law. Afraid to be afraid, a clever daughter-in-law can’t cook without rice.” Sun Zhenjiang said meaningfully.

Pang Yongzhang said: “What can be done? The Economic and Trade Commission helped coordinate it a bit, and allocated a batch of ore to several factories from several domestic mines. The price is high. The quality is still low, who wouldn’t scold your mother?”

“Why, Yan Gang and Pu Steel. They are also using domestic ore?” Sun Zhenjiang asked.

Pang Yongzhang said, “What do you do? Pugang has some reserves in the past, but now it ’s running low. Lin Gang intends to use coking coal and India to exchange iron ore. No. The major domestic mines are now mining like crazy. Even so, it is not enough for domestic steel companies. It is estimated that within two months, half of the steel companies in the country will have to shut down.

“I heard that the Daqin Group has quite a lot of reserves. Is that so?” Sun Zhenjiang said.

Speaking of the Daqin Group, Pang Yongzhang had a feeling of anger. He said indignantly: “Isn’t it, otherwise what Qin would be so tough? I heard he made an ultimatum to Vale. Chinese steel companies will not do business with Vale if they don’t cut prices. After all, Isn’t that generosity, and he did not lose himself? “

The expression on Sun Zhenjiang’s face was a bit complicated. He didn’t know the details at the time of the steel war. After so many years afterwards, he gradually learned some insider information, knowing that the Planning Commission could deal with it so calmly, largely because of Qin Hai. Work hard behind your back. When it comes to the name of Qin Hai, Sun Zhenjiang has a sense of anger soon afterwards. However, in front of Pang Yongzhang, he still tried to pretend as calmly as possible, and asked, “Isn’t Qin Hai’s ultimatum entrusted by the Economic and Trade Commission?”

Pang Yongkun sneered: “How could the Economic and Trade Commission say such a thing? He said it on his own. Of course, the Economic and Trade Commission can only knock down his teeth and swallow his stomach. In fact, besides Cui Hongchun, deputy director of the Economic and Trade Commission, who else Support him like this? “

“You mean, the Economic and Trade Commission is not satisfied with Qin Hai’s actions?” Sun Zhenjiang said.

“Of course I am not satisfied.” Pang Yongzhang said, “How much cost has the national steel enterprises added for this, can the Economic and Trade Commission not be counted? By then, the production tasks of the country will not be completed, and it will not be the Economic and Trade Commission if it is criticized? In fact, everyone You know, China can’t do without the ore of Vale. Negotiations only show a gesture. It’s impossible to talk about it. But Mr. Qin is okay, and he dares to give people 30 days to consider, it is out of date. Now Two 30 days have passed. They are not birds at all, aren’t they, is it difficult to ride a tiger? “

Sun Zhenjiang deliberately countered: “I heard that Daqin Group is not busy searching for minerals around the world? Just signed Guinea’s Simandou Iron Mine, which is a tens of billions of dollars investment.”

“That’s swollen and fat.” Pang Yongxuan said, “The Daqin Group couldn’t raise so much money by itself, and then put together a bunch of small and medium-sized enterprises that threatened the Steel League to make money together. You must know about the Steel League, right?”

“I don’t know much.” Sun Zhenjiang said with a smile. In fact, he knew it, but just wanted to hear what Pang Yongzheng had to explain.

Pang Yongzhang said: “It was the previous session of the Economic and Trade Commission to rectify the small steel industry, and it was also Qin Hai’s leadership. He turned around a bunch of small steel factories and changed them, and found a group of competitors for us. Later, the Daqin Group came forward and established I have a steel alliance, so everyone can participate. You said, Qin Hai was so fierce in the front, who dare not participate? Now it’s okay, but he flew to buy Simangdu iron ore, which was considered as falling into the pit. . “

“When was Pang informed, when will the Simandou Iron Mine be put into production?” Sun Zhenjiang asked.

“Who knows?” Pang Yongzhang shrugged. “How can it be five or six years? I have asked several experts who have been to the scene and said that the development is very difficult. In my opinion, Qin Hai has no bottom in himself. . “

“So it is.” Sun Zhenjiang smiled. He knew that he could get the news from Pang Yongkang, and that was all. He toasted Pang Yongkang with another glass of wine, then switched the topic, and said, “The general supply of iron ore to Red Steel is a bit stressful, but here I am I can get some imported iron ore. I don’t know if Pang Suxiang is interested. “

Pang Yongzheng said quickly: “You and Lao Xiang can discuss this specific business problem. My current energy is mainly on the company’s personnel arrangements.

“Ok, ok, I understand.” Sun Zhenjiang smiled and chatted about the recent popular star.

After having dinner, Pang Yongzhang found a reason and avoided it first. Xiang Pengda took Sun Zhenjiang into the factory, looked at the production process, and looked at the freight yard. Finally, he agreed to entrust Sun Zhenjiang to purchase 10 million tons of Brazilian iron ore through Xinzhen’s channels. Of course, in order to avoid being criticized by the Economic and Trade Commission Iron ore will be purchased in the name of other origins, and these details are waiting for Sun Zhenjiang to deal with.

Pang Yongzhang returned to the office with Hu Xiaoshuo. After entering the door, Hu Xiaoshuo hesitated a moment and said to Pang Yongzhang, “General Manager Pang, there is a sentence, I don’t know if it should be said or not.”

“You say it.” Pang Yongzheng sat on the executive chair, put his feet on the table, closed his eyes to calm himself, and said to Hu Xiaoshuo at the same time. Hu Xiaoshuo is his personal secretary, and Pang Yongzheng doesn’t need to consider his own image in front of him.

Hu Xiaoshuo whispered, “I feel that Sun Zhenjiang’s visit this time seems not to be all about selling iron ore.”

“Really?” Pang Yongzhang opened his eyes and looked at Hu Xiaoshuo, with a bit of slyness in his eyes.

Hu Xiaoshuo lowered his head and said, “I think he seems to want to inquire about the information. He asked us a lot about our inventory and asked about the inventory of Yangang and Pugang. The information is required by the Economic and Trade Commission to keep each company confidential. Yes, you said those at the dinner table, wouldn’t you … “

“Do you think I’m confused?” Pang Yongzhang asked.

“No.” Hu Xiaoshuo quickly denied, but couldn’t say any other reason.

Pang Yongzhang laughed: “Xiao Shuo, I know you are worried that I will lose my words, but you also need to know that I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. What does Sun Zhenjiang mean? Come out, can I not see? “

“Originally …” Hu Xiaoshuo felt in his heart ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ he guessed Pang Yongzheng’s meaning, and felt a little coolness on his back.

Pang Yongji snorted and said, “I’m just talking to a supplier about the supply of iron ore. No business intelligence is involved, and no one can say that I have leaked the information. As for who Sun Zhenjiang will tell these words to, the other party will listen. What other thoughts have anything to do with me? Since the Economic and Trade Commission doesn’t believe us old guys, but rather trusts Qin Hai as a fluffy kid, let him jump. Isn’t he trying to get his wrists with Vale, I Just help him out. “

“General Manager Pang … really thought hard, Xiaoshuo, I’m so tender.” Hu Xiaoshuo said in a compliment.

Pang Yongkun deliberately leaked information to Sun Zhenjiang, where he was helping Qin Hai, clearly he was cheering up Vale. In other words, Pang Yongzheng’s goal is to make Qin Hai fail faster and to give Vale the confidence to persist in China’s submission.

Hu Xiaoshuo felt cold for a fight over his own will, even at the expense of national interests.

Should you tell President Qin this situation? An idea grew irresistibly in Hu Xiaoshuo’s heart. (To be continued)
