Chapter 761 Let’s Make Nickel Together

After listening to Pan Changhe's introduction, Yang Chen had a general understanding of the Huaqing Group.

To be honest, Yang Chen's business in bulk products is really blank.

When it comes to making money, it is still making money from oil, gas, minerals and other products.

In this industry, the price of an order is calculated in units of hundreds of millions, and it is still gold.

If you can expand your business in commodities, it is indeed a very good choice.

"Thank you Mr. Pan for the introduction. The strength of Huaqing Group is really awesome. To be honest, my layout in bulk commodities is almost zero. If we can find opportunities for cooperation in these areas, that would be the best." Yang Chen replied truthfully.

Pan Qingguo laughed loudly and said: "That's great, we have very rich resources in bulk commodities. We have enough supply of oil, natural gas, ores, and agricultural products. So, what does Director Yang want to do?"

Yang Chen: "Let's do agricultural products first. We have a population of 1.4 billion in Daxia, and we need to consume a lot of food every day. Therefore, food trade is definitely profitable. I have a community group buying platform under my name, which is expanding rapidly, and is expected to be ready by the end of the year. Covering all cities in Daxia. If the products purchased on the platform are other people's brands, then I am no different than making wedding dresses for others. According to my vision, all products on the platform must be provided by my own brand. This inevitably requires a large amount of agricultural raw materials to be processed into different products and supplied to platform users."

Pan Changhe immediately patted his chest and assured Yang Chen that there would be absolutely no problem.

The United States and neighboring Canada are both major agricultural exporters, with very high grain output.

As long as Yang Chen needs it, they can definitely guarantee sufficient supply.

This is equivalent to Huaqing Group acting as a middleman. They first buy it from farmers and then resell it to Yang Chen.

If it were in China, Yang Chen would definitely not want to add this level of channel dealers.

But this cannot be the case when doing business abroad.

Because there are many restrictions on international trade, especially for Daxia people, the rules are too restrictive.

Yang Chen does not have the ability to integrate resources abroad. Direct procurement from foreign manufacturers will definitely take a lot of time and there will be many restrictions.

Now Yang Chen can buy any product he wants without any effort as long as he pays a little profit from the middleman.

The middleman's price difference is worth paying.

"Okay, when I get back I will determine as soon as possible which agricultural products need to be imported and the required quantities." Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Pan Changhe nodded and asked, "Does Mr. Yang want to do oil?"

Oil is a strategic material, and Daxia has many restrictions in this regard.

The amount of imported oil the country needs every year is budgeted.

Any company that needs to import oil must apply for a quota from the relevant department.

Only companies with approved quotas can import oil.

And after the goods arrive, they have to be transported to big companies like Daxia Petrochemical or Daxia Petroleum for processing.

In short, oil trading is profitable, but it is not much, and there are many restrictions. For Yang Chen, the investment and income are not proportional.

Therefore, Yang Chen still thinks that oil and natural gas and other energy issues should be put on hold for a while, and projects that can be done first should be done. To exit the transcoding page, please download the app and read the latest chapters.

"Ore?" Pan Qingguo asked.

Yang Chen nodded and immediately asked: "Mr. Pan, does he have any nickel ore resources?"

"Nickel mine? Does Mr. Yang want to make stainless steel?" Pan Qingguo asked.

The most common uses of metallic nickel are to make stainless steel and coins.

Yang Chen definitely didn't know how to make coins, so Pan Qingguo guessed that Yang Chen wanted to do stainless steel business.

You can definitely make money by making stainless steel, but the profit is limited. Would Yang Chen be interested in San Gua Liang Zao?

Therefore, Pan Qingguo's tone was filled with suspicion.

Yang Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "Zhi En and I have cooperated to open a new energy vehicle company, which has a huge demand for batteries. Nickel is a key component of lithium-ion batteries, so our demand for nickel will also be huge. . In the future, new energy vehicles are inevitable, and the demand for nickel will be increasing. If we can lay out nickel mines in advance, we will definitely make a lot of money. And the annual global nickel production is only more than two million tons, so it is easy to do Monopolize the market and control pricing power. I don’t need to say anything more.”

The Pan family father and son immediately became energetic.

What if Yang Chen could quickly become the business legend of the Dragon Kingdom?

His vision is indeed much higher than others.

Pan Changhe: "I really admire Director Yang's insight. You look at problems in the next ten years. But I can only focus on the small profits in front of me. Let me see the economic trend in the next ten years. I I simply don’t have that ability.”

Li Zhien looked at Yang Chen with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

In other words, only Yang Chen could think of making nickel, and others really couldn't think of this.

Yang Chen: "I just inferred based on my own needs, it's not worth mentioning."

Pan Qingguo: "I'll search the Internet for nickel prices."

Yang Chen: "Now it is 18,000 meters of gold per ton, but I think it can grow to 80,000 meters of gold per ton in the future, or even 100,000 meters of gold per ton. And you don't need to wait too long, 3-5 years at most. This During this period, we just need to buy like crazy, and we will definitely make a lot of money by then, at least hundreds of billions of gold-level profits."

The Pan family and his son had never dared to imagine a profit of hundreds of billions of gold.

Pan Changhe quickly asked: "What does Director Yang plan to do?"

Yang Chen asked with a smile: "Then I want to ask the two Mr. Pan first about their risk tolerance. After all, it is business, and no one can guarantee that you will make money. Right? What we are going to do is bulk commodities. The investment will be huge. Even if the loss is only 1%, it will be calculated in units of hundreds of millions, and it will still be rice gold. If the risk tolerance of the two is not enough, then we will choose the most conservative cooperation method. If the risk tolerance of the two is not enough If we are very capable, then we can play bigger.”

After nearly a hundred years of development, Huaqing Group has been able to make stable profits around the world.

Therefore, Pan Qingguo feels that he and the company have strong risk resistance, and Yang Chen doesn't have to worry so much.

But Pan Changhe was more cautious, and he immediately asked: "Then Mr. Yang, can you tell us what the conservative and non-conservative methods are?"

Yang Chen nodded and explained to the two of them.

The so-called conservative cooperation method is actually that Huaqing Group serves as Yang Chen's worldwide purchaser.

Yang Chen allowed them to increase the purchase price by 10-30% and sell it to him.

In this way, no matter what Yang Chen bought the nickel for or whether it can be used up, it has nothing to do with the Pan family and his son. They will get the money they should get immediately after delivery.

Therefore, an unconservative way of cooperation is for both parties to establish a joint venture overseas to be responsible for purchasing nickel or nickel ore around the world.

Because both parties hold shares, it means that once the company suffers a loss, the Pan family and his son will also bear the loss according to their shareholding ratio.

Moreover, this kind of cooperation requires a lot of investment, and hundreds of billions of dollars may not be enough.

If Huaqing Group has limited capital injection, its shareholding ratio will be very low, and accordingly it will have very little power to pay dividends, but the risks they bear will not be reduced.

If we cooperate in this way, once the price of nickel really rises to 100,000 meters per ton in the future, Huaqing Group will still make a profit.

After talking about these two ways of cooperation, Yang Chen asked the Pan family and his son to think about it carefully.

No matter which method of cooperation they choose, Yang Chen can accept it.

The Pan family father and son looked at each other, but neither spoke.

There may be some things that are difficult to say in front of Yang Chen, so the two of them remained silent.

Yang Chen stood up with a smile and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom. Zhien, do you want to go?"

Li Zhien nodded quickly and said, "Okay, let's go together."

The two got up and left.

After they walked away, the Pan family father and son immediately started discussing...
