Li Zhaocai still has long hair fluttering, and the ends of his hair completely cover the earlobes, making a round face look very unique.

After seeing Li Tang, he quickly confirmed that the person in front of him was the person he knew in Perth, South Aozhou!

Besides, when I called before, I did dial, which proved a little bit.

"When you were in Perth before, you said you were working there, and I thought you were working for someone else. It turned out that you were doing iron ore business there and directly acquired a listed company."

He hadn't seen before that Li Tang was a rich man, and his words, behavior, and dressing all deceived him.

I never expected that the person in front of me has a significant influence in the current steel industry.

"You are such a striving and promising figure!" He couldn't help but sigh.

Li Tang was neither arrogant nor impatient, and said lightly: "You young entrepreneur, in your early twenties, is in charge of a steel company with annual revenue of billions of yuan. It's amazing!"

Li Zhaocai knew how he came from his status today.

It even sounds quite sad.

He knew that Li Tang could achieve what he has today entirely through hard work.

In this regard, the two of them are different.

Thinking of it, he avoided talking about it and directly talked about his purpose: "The Lianying Mining under your command is very valuable now."

"Lianying Mining has not yet realized its profits and operates at a loss every year. This cannot be compared with Hensing Steel." Li Tang said modestly and modestly.

"But Lianying Mining has infinite development potential!" Li Zhaocai sighed.

"This is true." Li Tang did not continue to whine each other and asked directly: "Boss Li came to see me today. Do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Yes." Li Zhaocai stroked his soft hair back, "We were in a hurry to lack iron ore. Suddenly, I thought that your old friend was about to mine iron ore. Come and find out if you can provide us with some high-quality iron ore. Our steel companies have a lot of iron ore every year, about 5 million tons per year."

"Sing Ying Mining is currently seeking partners." Li Tang's mind inevitably lingers in many stupid things that Li Zhaocai did later.

Under the leadership of Li Zhaocai, Hessing Steel gradually declined and even faced a bankruptcy crisis after experiencing its initial prosperity.

However, he has no good impression of Li Zhaocai, which does not prevent both parties from cooperating.

As long as the money is given, iron ore can be sold.

"I heard that you signed a contract with Hualing Steel and will be able to supply iron ore next year?" Li Zhaocai's purpose of coming here today was very clear.

"At the end of next year, the iron mine will be put into operation." Li Tang nodded.

"What price?" Li Zhaocai asked bluntly.

Li Tang handed over the contract template, "Look at it."

Li Zhaocai picked up the contract and read it quickly, and handed it to Yan Hongliang beside him.

"What do you think?" He had no idea about iron ore procurement, so he could only seek Yan Hongliang's opinions.

Yan Hongliang looked at some key terms and data and muttered in Li Zhaocai's ear: "The futures contract is very risky."

Li Zhaocai understood and looked up at Li Tang: "All of you are friends, so you can get a little cheaper price."

"Actually, there is no need for advance payment." Yan Hongliang also expressed his opinion: "It doesn't matter if you sign such a contract, but you have not raised funds for the construction of the mine until now. It is everywhere that the mine will be put into operation at the end of the year. It only takes more than a year, and it is too late to go." Yan Hongliang also expressed his opinion.

It is normal to bargain when doing business.

Finding problems and then lowering the price is all common methods.

Li Tang explained: "The contract we signed with Hualing Steel or signed with leading companies like Haigang Steel are all based on such terms. No matter who the partner is, we are basically treated equally. Of course you can refuse or consider it, and you are not in a hurry to make a decision, and there is no need to sign the contract now."

"We don't think that this contract is not good." Li Zhaocai quickly explained.

"When doing business, you must first be willing to do it. Since you have some concerns about the time for our mine to start production, you can actually not sign this contract. In the future, the mine will be put into production and iron ore will be produced. If you come over and sign a purchase contract with us, it will be the same." Li Tang was not anxious or impatient.

"This is the truth." Since Li Zhaocai said that Li Tang was a friend, he did not want to make the relationship frustrated, and his tone was still relatively gentle.

However, when doing business and signing contracts, he still respects Yan Hongliang's opinions quite well.

After the two of them muttered a few words, they seemed to have made a decision.

"We will seriously consider the operability of this contract before making a decision." Li Zhaocai said this in a relatively tactful way.

Obviously, they feel that it is too risky to pay tens of millions of magnesium in advance and sign a futures contract that does not have much security.

"Okay." Li Tang didn't say much.

After sending Li Zhaocai and his group away, Dai Yingchi hurried in to report: "I just received a call from the Iron and Steel Association, saying that I would meet you and talk."

"What are you talking about in the Steel Association?" Li Tang thought for a while. Perhaps he had frequent contact with many steel companies recently, which attracted the attention of the Steel Association.

"I didn't say it, I just said that I'll let you go there as soon as possible."

"Let's go now."

Li Tang didn't think this trip was to go to the dragon's and tiger's den, or to attend the Hongmen Banquet.

Maybe it's a good thing?

The meeting place is really the office building of the Iron and Steel Association, and the distance is not too far.

"Are you the strange man in the rumor?" Bao Yanyao looked at Li Tang's appearance.

"I am Li Tang." Li Tang also looked at the president of the Iron and Steel Association in front of him curiously.

The Steel Association is just a public welfare association, but as the steel industry becomes more and more influential in the economy, their responsibilities are becoming more and more important.

"I heard before that you have a high level of attainment in wet copper smelting technology. Later, I heard that you are looking for porphyry copper and gold mines, making many amazing achievements and discovering many world-class deposits. Recently, I heard that you have acquired Lianying Mining in Austria and found 2 billion tons of iron ore of very good grades!"

Bao Yanyao wanted to gradually become a famous figure in the industry a long time ago. When he met today, he finally fulfilled a small wish.

"This is not my credit, but the results of each technical team." Li Tang did not take on a big deal.

Bao Yanyao chatted for a few words, then got back to the point and pondered: "Today's iron ore negotiations, the price is 60 magnesium per ton. This is a long-term contract price. It is not certain what the spot market will become after the long-term contract price takes effect next year. Now the entire steel industry has been greatly affected, and the production cost has become very high."

"I understand." Li Tang had actually known this would be the case.

"Anyway, such a situation will be a major blow to the steel smelting industry."

Bao Yanyao sighed, "Our domestic steel companies rely heavily on imported iron ore. Many companies' blast furnace smelting technology used to learn from the technology of Japanese benzene, which requires strict requirements on the grade and impurity content of iron ore, and is very delicate. The iron ore produced by our own domestic products cannot even be smelted in some smelting companies. The situation of relying on imported iron ore will be difficult to improve in a short period of time."

"Yes." Li Tang nodded in agreement.

"How to suppress iron ore prices and maintain the healthy development of the steel industry is profitable, which is the most worrying problem we are currently on!"

Bao Yanyao called Li Tang over, but in fact he had high hopes for Li Tang: "Before this, I think we only have one way to go, that is, to increase the exploration of domestic mineral resources, increase the scale of iron ore mining, and to minimize the dependence on imported iron ore. However, this approach will be difficult to work in a short period of time."

"It is indeed difficult to achieve short-term results by starting to increase iron ore exploration. However, in the next ten years, twenty years later, the current investment will work at that time. This is an investment that benefits future generations, and I personally support it."

"Yes, no one invested money into the exploration industry a few years ago. After 1998, iron ore exploration was almost blank in those years, and the annual iron ore reserve statistics were gradually decreasing."

Bao Yanyao looked at Li Tang with his eyes full of expectations: "But I think you can help the steel industry! It is indeed a foresight for you to go out boldly!"

“We are indeed lucky.”

"I want to ask you, are the exploration data you published and the iron ore reserves of 2.3 billion tons, real and reliable?"

"Of course it is real and reliable. We have exploration reports and signed by registered engineers." Li Tangke never had the habit of fooling people.

"That means that the iron ore you discovered has great development potential!"

Isn't this nonsense?

Li Tang felt a little slandered, but on the surface, he was still as gentle as jade: "We have already started to build a mine."

"I heard that you have recently negotiated contracts with many steel companies, and even signed a ten-year supply contract with Hualing Steel as early as the first half of the year."

“Yes, is there any problem?”

"It's no problem, it's just that you're making too much noise."

"We will pay attention." Li Tang thought the other party was warning him, so he put his attitude relatively low.

"I'm not saying that you did this wrong, nor is it stopping you from cooperating with steel companies."

Seeing that Li Tang's face was a little nervous, Bao Yanyao quickly explained his position: "From our Steel Association and my personal responsibilities, we are all for the healthy and stable development of the steel industry. I think it is inevitable to help the steel industry for you. We even want to help you develop mines smoothly and promote your cooperation with steel companies!"

"That's really thankful for the President!"

"I also want to confirm a question with you. Is the mining plan you proposed? Isn't it a mysterious or a real project?" Bao Yanyao confirmed again.

In recent years, many people who have returned from abroad have claimed to invest billions and tens of billions of dollars in large projects such as ports, landmarks, etc., and have taken photos with presidents of other countries to raise funds in China.

Many projects are completely fictional. When you see a place, you don’t even know that this is happening there.

"We have invested more than one billion yuan in the design of the project construction. Moreover, the mine construction has formulated various plans, including the first phase of the project called the Rice Mine, which has broken ground and started construction of the camp."

Li Tang was a little regretful and did not bring any project information and on-site photos: "We have made sufficient preparations in the early work, but now we are short of funds. Otherwise, a large number of construction teams have already entered the site! If the president is interested, we will send a construction plan immediately and we can arrange for everyone to conduct on-site inspections."

"We do these tasks, which is also a kind of supervision, and we also want to learn more about your projects and plans."

Bao Yanyao called Li Tang over today to confirm the authenticity of the project. "If we confirm that the project you proposed is indeed feasible, then our Iron and Steel Association will urge everyone to cooperate with you with confidence. At the same time, we can even negotiate with our domestic banks to provide low-interest loans for your mine construction!"

Low interest loans...

Li Tang's saliva was almost flowing down.

What he wants most is a large low-interest bank loan.

Unfortunately, I had no way to raise funds before.
To be continued...
