Chapter 270 Everyone Performs Their Duties

Vice President Zhao had a working meal at Heiyun Factory and then left. After all, as the Vice President in charge of industry, it was a great honor to be able to find time to attend the opening ceremony of Heiyun Factory. However, after seeing the food at Heiyun Factory, his view of Bao Zixuan changed again. This boy really kept surprising himself. This was the voice of Vice President Zhao. He didn't know how many times he had changed his view on this young man.

Kyoto has approved it, so the remaining matters can be left to the people of Shenhai City and Baohuodong Mining Company to negotiate. Mayor Zhou can be said to be very excited. This is the largest investment since the reform and opening up. It is estimated that it will not be surpassed for some time in the future.

Bao Zixuan directly asked Hutchison Whampoa engineers and Heiyun German engineers to be responsible for the construction of the wharf and the design of the steel plant. Heiyun later recruited many German steel engineers at Rheinmetall, who themselves were responsible for the construction of steel plants. This group of people has been in Heiyun for a long time and has been engaged in titanium alloy processing. Now that they heard that a new steel plant can be built, they all came to the deep sea for measurement and design.

The staff of Shenhai City are the happiest to see Bao Zixuan being so efficient. The steel project in Shanghai is still in the negotiation stage. With Bao Zixuan's character, he will definitely build the factory very quickly. By then, he will definitely be able to surpass the Shanghai Steel Project and become the first modern steel company in the country.

After arranging everything, Bao Zixuan took the second son of the Huo family to the plane to Germany. This time he wants to exchange rare earths for the steel plant equipment he needs. The other three are not very optimistic that Bao Zixuan can exchange rare earths for equipment, but with the endorsement of Heiyun's credit, they can only choose to believe it.

The second young master Huo is named Huo Zhenhuan, and he is 31 years old this year. Now he is the general manager of a branch in a family business and can be said to be one of the core members of the family. He was very happy to be able to go on a business trip to Germany with Bao Zixuan this time. After all, this is an opportunity given to him by his father. Although he is older than Bao Zixuan, he does not need to be older to succeed. This is a rare learning opportunity.

There are only a few rich people in Xiangjiang who have friendship with Bao Zixuan, and there are basically no second-generation children of the family who can chat with Bao Zixuan. After all, the richest man Bao is a tycoon-level figure in Xiangjiang.

Huo Zhenhuan said to Bao Zixuan: "Sheng Bao, I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I finally have the opportunity to ask you for advice in person."

Bao Zixuan: "Second Young Master, you're welcome! You are older than me, so please don't say that."

But he couldn't take Bao Zixuan's kind words seriously. Otherwise, it would be very bad to let his father know, after all, where is Bao Zixuan's identity now?

Huo Zhenhuan: "Sheng Bao, when we go to Germany this time, we can really exchange the soil behind for steel smelting equipment. Can you tell me about it? After all, I am really a layman in this area."

Bao Zixuan: "The Germans are technologically advanced, but they also have weaknesses. Many countries around the world have steel smelting technology. Although it is inferior to the Germans, it can still be used. The price/performance ratio is actually higher. The Germans don't agree that we can also use other technologies. The country gains.”

"However, our company currently has the largest proven reserves of rare earth resources, and we have absolute pricing power here. The Germans need a lot of industrial raw materials, and rare earths are the resources they dream of. Now that they can exchange them for equipment, what else do they have to be dissatisfied with? Yes. Rare earths have too many functions, and you will understand them slowly."

Although he was confused by what he heard, Huo Zhenhuan still chose to believe Bao Zixuan for the time being. After all, this business trip was mainly focused on Bao Shaofu, and he was just assisting from the side.

The two of them were chatting on the plane. During this period, Bao Zixuan asked many interesting things about Xiangjiang recently. Huo Zhenhuan has been asking about rare earths and steel. He wants to have a basic understanding of these before negotiating.

At the same time, Bao Yugang came to the office of Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC. This was a task that had been assigned a long time ago, and he was responsible for negotiating the HSBC loan.

Seeing Bao Yu just come in, Shen Bi stood up and said enthusiastically: "Why do you have time to come to my place today, Mr. Bao? You haven't been here for a long time."

Bao Yugang is one of the few people who enters Shen Bi's office without making an appointment or reporting, which fully reflects HSBC's attitude and recognition of him. However, Bao Yugang also knew that this foreign devil was very arrogant and always thought that he was a subject of the empire on which the sun never sets. Now is not the time when Britain was roaming the sea 100 years ago.

Bao Yugang: "I came here mainly because I want your help with something."

Shen Bi: "If you have anything to do with Mr. Bao, just ask him. As long as I can do it, I will never postpone it."

Bao Yugang: "Then thank Shen Sheng in advance. I came here mainly to get a loan. The amount is a bit large, so I'm asking for your help!"

Shen Bi: "How much is the loan? Bao Sheng said the amount is large, so it is definitely not small."

Bao Yugang: “3 billion Hong Kong dollars.”

After hearing what Bao Yugang said, Shen Bi was a little silent. After all, this amount is really big, and even I, a big boss at HSBC, have to hold a board meeting to discuss it. After all, this is a huge loan, and you can't afford it if something goes wrong.

Shen Bi: "How come Mr. Bao suddenly needs so much money? I can't make the decision alone with so much money. You must know the purpose of the funds, otherwise there is no way to convince the board of directors."

Bao Yugang: "Didn't Huo Yingdong, Bao Zixuan, Dong Haoyun and I set up a mining company? You should know this. The first batch of investment has been spent, and now Bao Zixuan has gone to Germany to purchase equipment. Doesn't this require a lot of investment?" Amount of funds. Knowing that we are acquainted, that’s why I asked you to come over and discuss a loan."

When the mining company was established, it can be said that it caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong. After all, the scale of the business of these four partners was unimaginable. At that time, the registered capital reached US$1 billion, which was the largest registered enterprise in Hong Kong. Now even Heiyun Group has not reached US$1 billion in registered capital.

Shen Bi: "This company mainly invests in mainland China, which is a bit troublesome. However, I will try my best to facilitate this matter. Please rest assured, Mr. Bao. If possible, HSBC would also like to take a share, but I don't know if it is possible."

Bao Yugang: "Thank you Shen Sheng, but you need Bao Zixuan's consent to buy shares. After all, this is what was agreed upon from the beginning. As long as you convince Bao Zixuan, I don't have any problems."

Shen Bi was a little hesitant when he heard this. After all, Bao Zixuan would never be so easy to talk to Bao Yugang. This person doesn't seem to have any political leanings, but his recent investment shows that his heart is definitely not with the UK. Now it seems that the only option is to put down the loan first, and wait until individual shareholders of this company have problems before taking action.

Shen Bi was also an activist and organized a meeting the next day to discuss Bao Huodong's loan request. The loan was approved quickly with almost no pushback. The purpose of these bankers is to make money. As for where the money is used, as long as it is not illegal, who will care so much.

Huo Yingdong has been checking the rare earth mining situation in the mainland these days, and sees that massive amounts of rare earth are mined every day. If Bao Zixuan could really sell it for $10 per kilogram as he said, he wouldn't even dare to imagine how much wealth this piece of land would be. However, since he promised Bao Zixuan to organize the mining of rare earths with all his strength, Mr. Huo is a man who sticks to his word and must do what he promised. But as someone who grew up near the seaside, staying in an inland area for a long time has been a lot of hardship.

Dong Haoyun's job can be said to be relatively easy among several people. He is mainly responsible for supervising the construction of Yantian Wharf. As a shipping king, he is an authoritative person in this regard, and the old man works very hard. It can be said that the four bosses of Baohuodong Mining Company are performing their respective duties this time, and the enthusiasm of the three tycoons seems to have returned to their early entrepreneurial days.
