Chapter 1773: Planning a Price Increase? (Additional Update for the Leader Who Walks in the Sky in His Free Time!)

When Ye Linqinwa was thinking, her eyes did not leave Yin Jun's face.

From a European perspective, Yin Jun is not handsome, because his facial contours are very soft and not angular.

But after watching him for a long time, Ye Linqinwa felt that Yin Jun was very temperamental, and he was the kind of man who became more and more interesting the more he looked at him.

She, Yelinqinwa, is the beauty of almost all the universities in Prague. Among the people chasing her, there are no less than dozens of handsome men - all of them think they are qualified, and there are at least a thousand who are not!

But Ye Linqinwa had never thought about this. Even if there were a few extremely handsome boys, she would feel a little confused when she thought about them. She quickly put this thought behind her.

What's the situation like at home?

She can barely maintain food and clothing. My sister has sacrificed so much and worked so hard just so that she can go to school. Could it be that her reward for her is to have a romantic life in college?

It certainly can’t be like this!

So Ye Linqinwa could only focus on her studies and not think about anything else.

This is why she became the number one academic in language and won numerous awards, which in turn protected her from being swallowed up by powerful people.

Then Yelinqinwa also gained the appreciation of Yin Jun through her own talent, and thus jumped out of the small circle of the Czech Republic and came to a broader world of development.

Therefore, things in this world are really like one drink and one peck, and there is never independent cause and effect.

Shaking her head slightly, Ye Linqinwa recovered her mind.

Now is not the time to talk about this.

Although her family's living conditions have been greatly improved, and both her sister and herself have good jobs, she is definitely not reconciled to her current achievements.

Only through your own efforts can you get more rewards and become a better person, only then can you talk about other things.

"Master Jun, even if you want to repay your motherland, you won't even have to support the shipping kings in Xiangjiang, right?" Ye Linqinwa said, "The annual transportation contract of up to 100 million tons has not yet been completed. Does it give them an advantage by inviting external tenders? They and we were not of the same mind before. What if we put down our chopsticks and cursed our mother?"

Yin Jun burst out laughing when he heard this, "Linwa, your Chinese is so good, and you know this kind of slang!"

"Teacher Wang Gang taught me this." Ye Linqinwa pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of pride in her smile.

It has to be said that this girl is not as versatile as her sister, but she is definitely as smart as ever.

For example, when she gets along with Yin Jun, she will definitely only speak Mandarin and not a word of Cantonese, which suits Yin Jun very well.

Then in order to be more integrated into the Chinese atmosphere, after going to Xiangjiang, Ye Linqinwa thought about finding a good language teacher and learning the most authentic Chinese.

She is Yin Jun's personal secretary, and of course there are many people who are willing to please her.

Someone told her that the person in Xiangjiang who knows Mandarin the best and has the best knowledge of rural leisure literature is Mr. Wang Gang, a master of storytelling who came from Huajing.

So Ye Linqinwa asked Wang Gang to teach her how to speak the most authentic Mandarin.

Wang Gang was also a big name in Xiangjiang at this time. He was the absolute number one in storytelling, and many celebrities were his fans.

For example, "Pear News" reported several times that Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Wen Bixia and others appeared at the scene where Wang Gang recorded storytelling.

Moreover, Wang Gang is also very profitable. Several storytelling works have been published one after another. Although they are not as good as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he has made tens of millions in the past two years. He is really another example of a literary man getting rich.

But Wang Gang has never been arrogant and complacent. He is very knowledgeable in Xiangjiang and always feels comfortable getting along with him, so many people like to make friends with him.

This is true even for ordinary people. Faced with Yin Jun's personal person, Wang Gang will naturally not show off and agrees to Ye Linqinwa's request. In such a short period of less than a month, he has taught Ye Linqinwa a lot. s things.

Everyone likes hard-working people.

Yin Jun praised Ye Linqinwa a few words, and also revealed a few words about this question that he did not want to answer, "The situation in Xiangjiang has not stabilized yet. If we can unite more people, we should try to unite as many people as possible. As long as If everyone sticks together, many things will be easier to handle."

Ye Linqinwa didn't know much, but she was a very smart person. She blurted out: "Is it because they have enough crew members to have enough influence? Just like the construction workers and factories of our Kirin Group Like workers?"

At this time, the young man glanced at her twice, which made Ye Linqinwa feel quite uneasy, "Why, Master Jun, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"You are smart." Yin Jun smiled and did not discuss this matter with her again.

The four family shipping companies together employ tens of thousands of people, most of whom are from Hong Kong.

This group of people, together with their wives, children and relatives, is also a large group in Hong Kong - sailors in the 1970s and 1980s often appear in Hong Kong movies.

If Yin Jun wins over the four major shipping companies, he will win over hundreds of thousands of people. Wouldn't it be a good thing for the overall unity to increase his influence like this?

The shipping industry in the next ten years will be in a cold winter. If they want to eat and make money to support their families, they can only cooperate with Yin Jun. How can Yin Jun be afraid that they will be disobedient?

With both shipping and construction under control, plus the port workers controlled by Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, and Li Zhaoji in the future, almost 70% of the workers in Xiangjiang are under the influence of Yin Jun. Those clowns can set off What storm?

In fact, the boy is worried about another problem now.

Originally, Kirin Mining Company's large iron mine in Christmas Creek had attracted the attention of several major international iron ore giants.

Weili had been in contact with them a lot during this period, and they were very interested in bringing Qilin Mining Company into their camp.

This camp is actually very simple, anyone with the strength can enter.

An iron ore company with an annual production capacity of 50 million tons is naturally qualified to become one of them.

However, when the Duanyun Mining Area is discovered again, they will no longer regard Qilin Mining Company as a little brother.

A mining company with reserves of 2.5 billion tons or more must be among the top ten giants in the world!

Such members are certainly qualified to discuss something with them.

After the press conference, Wei Li mainly contacted them and heard some of their plans.

The mining companies of the three major international giants are somewhat puzzled by the Kirin Group's desire to have an annual production capacity of 100 million tons, and even want to dissuade it.

Because they are discussing and brewing a wave of iron ore price increases.

Yes!

They want to raise prices!

Today's iron ore prices adopt a negotiation system.

Basically, the price negotiated once every three or five years will determine the future trend of iron ore prices.

Although prices have fluctuated slightly over the past ten years, they have generally been rising.

But how can capitalists dislike the small amount of money they make?

It is now 1984, and next year will be the year of negotiation. They want the price of iron ore to increase significantly starting in 1986.

At least the FOB price should be around 22 US dollars, and if it can go up to 25 US dollars per meal, that would be the best.

Under such circumstances, of course, only by first reducing production, then increasing prices, and finally increasing production can we gain the initiative in negotiations.

If Qilin Mining Company were to produce 50 million tons or even 100 million tons per year in one go, it would certainly not be in everyone's interest.

Fortunately, due to port and road transportation reasons, the Christmas Creek mining area will not produce production until 1986. This has already passed the negotiation period, so this time the price increase only requires Kirin Mining Company to participate.

From a business perspective, this is naturally the best.

Although Wei Li knew that Yin Jun wanted to support the construction of mainland China, he also agreed with this price increase.

Because for every US$1 increase in price, the prices of Qilin Mining's mining assets will increase by US$2.5 billion!

Even if the price increases by only US$2, Kirin Mining's market value will increase by US$5 billion.

Those investors in Xiangjiang have seen a 10% increase in the price of their shares even before they start production and sell mines. Do you think they will be happy or will they continue to cooperate with Yin Jun?

On the other hand, if this group of investors knew that Yin Jun not only disagreed with the price increase, but actually blocked the price increase this time, what do you think they would do?

yes!

You, Yin Jun, are willing to help the mainland, regardless of long-term interests, and exploit it every year. We have agreed on this.

But this serious industry collectively wants to raise prices, but you want to prevent us from making a fortune. What does this mean?

This is not how you do business!

The young man also knew that they were right to think so.

That's why he was a little troubled.

In the eyes of others, a price increase of US$2, that is, a 10% price increase. Even if the mainland buys Yin Jun's 50 million tons of iron ore, it is only an extra US$100 million. What does it mean to a country?

But don't forget it!

It's 1984!

The country's foreign exchange reserves are far from the 3 trillion US dollars in 2016, but less than a fraction of that, only a mere tens of billions of US dollars!

These tens of billions of dollars are not only needed to buy iron ore, but also to buy various machinery and equipment, and to buy various things that we were in short supply in the past. It is really not enough money at all.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been willing to let Yin Jun leave the mainland even with the profits from Yin Jun's cassette player.

What’s even more exaggerated is that a few years ago, the country could still let people with overseas connections write letters and let overseas relatives send U.S. dollars back to support national construction.

Then, in the past few years, cassette recorders, Walkmans, Game Boy and Kirin instant noodles have all been sold abroad, but all the profits have been transferred to mainland companies. The US dollars have been converted into RMB, which has also allowed the country to obtain a lot of foreign exchange.

If decades later, the country will not care how you exchange the profits of Xiangjiang merchants.

But it's different now. Every dollar has to be saved.

On the one hand, they are desperately trying to save US dollars; on the other hand, they are definitely not willing to lose the profit from price increases in vain.

Yin Jun, who was caught in the middle, felt a little uncomfortable.

I know that making reasonable business profits is a good way for me to unite more people, but I can't bear to think that there is such a shortage of US dollars in the mainland and I have to directly increase the price.

How about... instead of selling 50 million tons a year to the mainland, use part of it to supply Japan and South Korea?

These two countries are like iron-eating beasts when they are in the 80s. No matter how much iron ore comes to them, they will be completely consumed.

This time, the three major iron ore giants happened to be targeting them for price increases.

Moreover, a large amount of infrastructure construction in mainland China has not yet begun in the past few years. I think it was in the 1990s that more and more iron ore was imported.

After much deliberation, Yin Jun could only put these things aside temporarily.

The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Let’s wait until we have more communication and discussion with them later!
