Onag Manor, Tesman returned to his room and sat carelessly on the sofa, even putting his legs on the table in front of him.

This was the most pleasant day for Teesman in this period of time. Because he had been worried in the past when facing Zhou Ming, but today he finally took the initiative. He clearly remembered Zhou Ming's solemn expression at the end of the meeting. Nothing could make him feel more happy than this.

Tisman picked up the phone and dialed Piero's number: "It's true that guessed it. Zhou Ming's target is indeed the rare earth industry."

Tisman told Zhou Ming all the things he admitted on the phone and said that he had offered Zhou Ming as planned.

After hearing this, Piero and Freeman both expressed praise for Zhou Ming's wisdom, because although the incident happened suddenly, Zhou Ming's response was perfect. He did not deny the argument, but instead started to negotiate terms after learning that the matter was irreversible. This was what Piero and Freeman wanted.

Otherwise, they could have caught Zhou Ming off guard with such important information. The reason why he showed up now is to negotiate conditions and gain the best interests for himself.

"But this time we did not reach any agreement with Zhou Ming." Tisman reminded.

Piero and Freeman were not surprised by this. In their opinion, this matter itself was an accident, and the offer price on their side was indeed not low, so it was normal to experience some twists and turns.

Piero and Freeman were quite confident. They believed that Zhou Ming or the Huaxia behind him had no choice.

On the phone, Piero and Freeman both said that they could make certain concessions in price, but at the worst, they must ensure the profitability of the investment.

Teesman said he understood: "It has been shutting down for so many years. If you can't get it back with capital and profit, it would be a loss!"

...

When Teesman discussed with New York, Zhou Ming also personally reported the matter to the leader above.

Although the second leader Zhao Sen knew something was wrong after receiving a call from Zhou Ming, he did not expect that the matter would be so incredible. Such a key upstream industrial layout of the electronics industry in the future was easily ruined by a respectful and fascinated foreign countries.

So much so that people like Zhao Sen were silent for a long time after learning about it.

After a long time, Zhao Sen asked Zhou Ming what he had planned. Zhou Ming did not answer, but instead asked Zhao Sen: "I just want to know how capable the country has and how many factories in the Great Lakes can eat."

Zhao Sen was stunned: "Comrade Zhou Ming, you are thinking..."

Zhou Ming smiled: "I know that Piero and other New York guys had previously guessed that I was putting pressure on the limit. Now that the purpose of planning the rare earth industry has been exposed, I will just spread it a little bigger, and prove that I was putting pressure on the limit. I want to emptie all the Great Lakes at once!"

Zhao Sen was silent again. Although Zhao Sen guessed Zhou Ming’s plan when Zhou Ming asked that sentence just now, when Zhou Ming really said it, it was still very shocking.

Good guy, since the rare earth industry has been exposed, I will give up the rare earth industry and focus on other industries.

What a big deal!

Zhao Sen was silent for a while before saying: "In principle, I can agree to this approach, but there are two problems. One is money. The central government cannot afford so much foreign exchange now; the other is the overall industry.

Value needs to be screened and refined.”

It is worthy of being Zhao Sen. Although the incident happened suddenly, he still caught the focus of the problem at the first time.

In fact, why doesn’t the country want to quickly complete the national modernization construction? The problem is that it can’t be done!

First of all, money is the money. Even if factories such as the Great Lakes are shut down for a long time and the equipment is old, the business owners here will not be able to send them to China for free if they want to escape from the Great Lakes.

Well, even if these business owners can have such high ideological awareness, they still have transportation fees, and the need to supplement parts, update equipment, and build other supporting industries. There is always some money that is indispensable, and lack of money, especially foreign exchange, is the biggest obstacle to the rapid development of the country at present.

Then there is the financial problem. As the saying goes, you can't be fat in one bite. So many factories in the Great Lakes have poured into the country at once. First, there are not so many places in China to undertake industries, and second, what is more important is that so much money comes in at once, it is easy to cause inflation. This is not what Zhao Sen wants to see.

Zhou Ming thought about it and then replied: "These two problems are not difficult to solve. I can issue project bonds on Amei, or shareholding financing, etc., and can quickly raise funds in the financial market."

"As for the inflation you are worried about, I think you look down on me too much."

Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not sure that I'm really fooling all the factories in the Great Lakes. It's already amazing to have a billion-dollar asset outflow. If there are more, the US federal government is going to ask me for coffee again."

He said a joke, and Zhou Ming then said: "I'm fighting with Tesman and the others, but I have to be prepared in China."

Zhao Sen said there was no problem. He would immediately convene a work meeting of relevant departments. On the one hand, he sent representatives of relevant units to continue to go to the United States for inspection and contact, and on the other hand, he also carried out the construction of development zones in China.

In short, everything is done around receiving as many Great Lakes factories as possible.

After that, neither Zhou Ming nor Zhao Sen mentioned the problem of the rare earth industry again, because it was not a problem for them at all. As long as the domestic rare earth industry is completed and under the advantage of extremely low prices, the world's rare earth industry will be able to be fully retracted sooner or later, and there is no rush to do so.

Of course I don’t mind if I can take advantage of a loophole, but if someone is a sucker, it will be considered a ball.

In addition, it is not bad to take this opportunity to take as many factories as possible in the Great Lakes. Anyway, China is so big and its industrial foundation is so poor. As long as it is done back, it will definitely be useful.

After the negotiations with Zhao Sen, Zhou Ming then called Caitlin, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran respectively. The purpose was very clear, and it was to discuss matters related to raising funds with them. Although the capital market in the United States was developed, if you want to raise more funds, you still had to cast a wide net.

However, the focus is Caitlyn. After all, Old Europe may have fallen behind recently, but the capital accumulated by the people is still very attractive, so the United States often has to cause trouble to drive away hot money in Europe back to the United States.

After hanging up Caitlin's phone call, Zhou Ming also quickly received a reply from Zhao Sen's office, saying that the first batch of representatives in China had already set off on a plane and would continue to come later.

Everything was ready, Zhou Ming then contacted Teesman and started the next round of negotiations.

Tisman was both surprised and reasonable about Zhou Ming continuing the negotiations so quickly, and finally agreed to the negotiations quite happily.

The negotiations were still held in Onag’s conference room, and Zhou Ming was still here first, and Tesman walked in proudly.

According to the consistent negotiation principles, Zhou Ming and Tisman greeted each other first, and then Zhou Ming first came up with the plan he had prepared for Tisman: "This is the plan I came up with after researching with the relevant team."

Tesman took over the plan and took a look, then closed it and said, "There is no need to discuss this plan at all. You have completely lost the value."

Although I knew that Tesman would say this long before I gave the plan, Zhou Ming still felt angry when he saw his arrogant attitude.

Resisting the urge to splash tea on his face, Zhou Ming explained to him as calmly as possible: "This plan is the overall assessment of the entire Great Lakes rare earth industry by me who found a professional team. I believe Mr. Tisman, you know very well that the Great Lakes are not California and Florida. The rare earth industries here are all technologies from at least thirty years ago and have little value!"

Teesmann shook his hand: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think your concept is not correct, because what we have never discussed is not the actual value of these rare earth industries, but how much value he can bring to you and the country behind you."

Zhou Ming saw this last time about Teesman's remarks, so he immediately explained that he had calculated the impact of the rare earth industry on the electronics industry.

"If Mr. Tisman doesn't believe it, you can take a closer look. The rare earth industry is indeed an important upstream industry in the electronics industry, but its overall impact on the electronics industry is very limited. At present, the global electronics industry has only so much market value. Even if these rare earth industries in the Great Lakes can bring value, he still has an upper limit." Zhou Ming tried his best to explain.

Tisman was surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that Zhou Ming actually analyzed and studied this aspect.

But that's it.

Tisman still did not look back and continued to look at the plan, and said to Zhou Ming directly: "Maybe what you said is true, but Mr. Zhou Ming may also understand that the electronics industry is not unchanging, but is in an era of rapid development. Just like mobile phones and computers and the Internet, the market value of the industry is increasing rapidly."

Speaking of this, Teesman emphasized in particular: "So we need to look at the problem from a development perspective. It can be said that these rare earth industries in the Great Lakes are selling you a bright future. I think Mr. Zhou Ming should look at that beauty instead of bargaining with me."

Zhou Ming spread his hands: "Actually, I don't like bargaining, but Mr. Tisman, you know that China is too poor and we don't have that much money. The price you proposed is not something we can afford!"

Teesman generously stated that there was no money not a problem: "I have people buying it in many international banks, and I think I can help introduce loans."

Zhou Ming shook his head: "If possible, I would rather go to bond financing."
