Chapter 391 The Abacus Clicks
When Wu Bing left the mountain, he was still in a tangled mood.
Although the old man's health is still good, after his examination, he feels that he has run out of energy. The main reason why he can maintain this situation now is because of Fan Wubing's help of internal energy and the internal energy cleansing once every three months. Help him promote the circulation of Qi and blood to maintain his vitality and prevent it from being sluggish.
But this situation cannot last long. After all, destiny has a certain destiny, which is difficult for ordinary people to resist. Even if Fan Wubing can slightly improve the elder's physical condition on a small scale, the majority cannot be reversed.
There is nothing we can do about this.
The middle-aged man in casual clothes was Lieutenant General Chen Dingtian, deputy director of the General Armament Department.
It seems that Director Zhang was too embarrassed to speak to Fan Wubing because of his face, so he hired a deputy to come over and seek help from him.
Thinking of this, Fan Wubing went to Director Zhang's house angrily. He had lost so much money, why should he go to his house to eat it back?
However, when he arrived at Director Zhang's house, he realized that he had arrived at a coincidence. Not only was Shen Ying here, but his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law were also present. In this way, the idea of collecting debts could not be realized.
"My uncle and aunt have always been in good health. When did they come to Beijing, why didn't they let my nephew pick them up?" Fan Wubing asked bravely.
Fan Wubing instinctively had some resistance towards Shen Ying's parents, and he couldn't tell why.
Shen Peiming saw Fan Wubing coming. He looked like he was smiling. said to him. "My good nephew's business has been getting bigger and bigger recently. He has even built up the automobile industry. He is currently cooperating with Jiangnan Woolen Textile Factory. It's going well, right?"
Fan Wubing said somewhat depressedly. "Cars are bought and sold at a loss. It's just for the sake of face. As for the woolen mill, it's actually just to help my father build publicity. It's probably a loss-making business. Nowadays, the stalls are getting bigger and bigger. Business is not easy to do. "
Fan Wubing said as he spoke. On the other hand, he deliberately glanced south of Director Zhang. Director Zhang was a little embarrassed and kept coughing.
"Today is a family dinner. Don't talk about business matters." Director Zhang said seriously.
There is something wrong with him. I found a deputy and ran to the elder to lay an ambush. All of a sudden, Fan Wubing received more than one billion in start-up capital. I also feel a little embarrassed. So I simply used these words to block Fan Wubing's mouth.
Shen Ying looked at Fan Wubing and her uncle's flirting with each other.
I feel like there's something wrong with this. So I asked. "What kind of unclear dispute do you have?"
"My relatives, what are you talking about?" Director Zhang waved his hand and said to everyone, "It's time to eat. I'm treating you today. Let's go out to eat!"
"It's rare," Shen Ying said with a smile, "My uncle is willing to treat guests to dinner. I haven't met him many times since I was a child."
Director Zhang immediately retorted with some dissatisfaction, "What you said is a bit too much. Ever since I was a child, how have I ever failed you? Is there anything delicious or fun that I can't do without you?"
So everyone went out together and found a high-end hotel. They sat around a table by the window in a corner of the hall and ate shabu-shabu.
"My uncle is so stingy. Why do you have to go to Donglai Shun'er to eat shabu-shabu?" Shen Ying said with a smile again.
"Although Dong Lai Shun'er is good, the dishes are not as rich as here. You don't like mutton, so where can you go?" Director Zhang said seriously.
Soon the waiter brought all kinds of vegetables, seafood and meat to the table. Drinks were also opened, and everyone started to use their chopsticks to drink.
During the dinner, Shen Peiming asked Fan Wubing casually, "Wubing, why can't your rare earth company just get in and out? It loses a lot of money in a year, right?"
"Isn't this just hoarding? Anyway, the reserve of this thing is fixed. The more you save now, the higher the selling price will be in the future." Fan Wubing said casually.
Although it was a strategic reserve for the country, the money spent by this company was all Fan Wubing's. It was losing hundreds of millions a year, and it would have been impossible for anyone else to support it.
However, Fan Wubing thought to himself that Shen Peiming suddenly asked about this matter. Was it a casual question or did he have ulterior motives? After all, the rare earth company that Shen Peiming co-owned is the second largest rare earth import and export company in the country after Fan Wubing Company. It does a lot of business with the Japanese and is very profitable. When he asked this, he was afraid that It doesn’t come out without cause.
Sure enough, Shen Peiming said, "As you know, our company has insufficient production capacity and average quality. Now it has a big business. It is made with the Japanese. The quantity is a bit too big and I can't eat it myself. If you Being able to participate is a huge amount of income, probably more than a billion dollars.”
Fan Wubing thought to himself, how could the Japanese suddenly want to purchase so many rare earths?
But it is reasonable to think about it. After all, due to the recent events in the Taiwan Strait,
The relationship between them is quite tense, God knows when will they start having sex? Japan is famous for being prepared for danger in times of peace. How could we not prepare for a rainy day when faced with such a situation? Are you rushing to hoard more strategic resources to prepare for emergencies?
Thinking of this, Fan Wubing deliberately asked, "What price did they give for the land?"
Shen Peiming was just talking at first, but he did not expect that Fan Wubing would take over. He was stunned for a moment. He was also very well-informed. Naturally, he knew why Fan Wubing stockpiled rare earth resources in large quantities. And because of Fan Wubing Due to the special relationship with his daughter, his company has become the largest rare earth monopoly in the country, basically controlling more than 90% of the export destinations.
Compared with when I first took over this part of the business, the price of rare earths has increased dozens of times, and the profits are really huge.
However, if Fan Wubing's company enters the market, I am afraid that the monopoly situation that has been formed will be broken. Such high profits will not be maintained, and his company will suffer huge losses.
Shen Peiming couldn't help but complain secretly because he was so talkative.
However, since he had already said this, he had no choice but to continue, otherwise it would seem a bit petty, so Shen Peiming told Fan Wubing a price, and then said, "Their demand is relatively large and does not meet our requirements." interests, so I don’t agree for the time being.”
At present, domestic exports of rare earths to Japan also follow the principle of small batch and multi-batch export, which is to increase the other party's operating costs and reduce the convenience of the other party to increase strategic reserves. The rare earth company controlled by Shen Peiming and others is just another arm of the military. There is only one way to go, so we still have some control in this regard, and the national interests cannot be harmed.
After hearing the other party's price, Fan Wubing thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I can answer this question. If the price is doubled, I can provide the quantity they need at one time."
After hearing this, Shen Peiming was a little shocked. In his impression, Fan Wubing's rare earth company should be strictly controlled by the state. How could he be allowed to do so casually? So he asked, "My dear nephew, what did you say?" Are you serious? I’m afraid the relevant parties will strictly examine such a large quantity of exports?”
"I'll take care of the export review. All you need to do is raise the price together. If you do this business well, I won't ship the goods within a year. The market price is up to you." Fan Wubing also gave Shen Peiming A guarantee.
There are no competitors in a year, so the price is really up to him. After hearing what Fan Wubing said, Shen Peiming felt a little relieved. He glanced at Director Zhang and saw no objection from him, so he said , "Then let me contact you first. If you don't make money from the Japanese, you won't make it in vain!"
Director Zhang felt something was wrong, so he asked Fan Wubing, "Is it appropriate for you to do this? We are now competing with the Americans. You suddenly exported a large amount of rare earths to the Japanese. What is your position?"
Fan Wubing smiled slightly and said, "This is business! Do you think we can fight with the United States?"
"Of course we can't fight." Director Zhang shook his head and said. Everyone can see this clearly. The two nuclear powers have concerns about each other. Although China has fewer advanced weapons, its nuclear deterrence is not fake. , Americans cannot bully the Chinese like they bullied Iraq, so there is a relative balance here. The American principle is to maintain the status quo in the Taiwan Strait unchanged.
The Americans cannot sit back and watch the mainland attack Taiwan, nor can they allow Taiwan to declare independence. This is their consistent policy. In order to maintain this dynamic balance, necessary military deterrence methods are available, but when it comes to actual attack, it is unlikely.
The domestic situation is the same. The current situation is centered on economic construction. Only when the pockets are bulging can we challenge the Americans. If we start a fight at this time, both sides will lose and no one will benefit.
Therefore, at this juncture, it is a good opportunity for Fan Wubing to speculate. The Japanese are eager to build strategic reserves, so let's tease them by throwing some bones at them. The price has risen. As the saying goes, buying will not go up. Buying and selling, do you Japanese people spend this money?
Although the Japanese economy has not been as good as before recently, billions of dollars can still be easily spent. With this windfall, it can help build the entire Beidou system.
Fan Wubing felt that this plan was very creative. The Taiwan Strait missile crisis not only awakened the Chinese people's awareness of high-tech development, but also created an opportunity for himself to make money. Why not do it to gain both fame and fortune?
Now we just turn retail into batch, and the batch price is still much higher than the retail price!
