Dexin Building.

Temporary office of Xingchen Shipyard.

"Bang!"

Fang Zhe violently threw a book in his hand somewhere.

His face was ashen, and his originally handsome face was now extremely ugly.

In front of him stood a group of shipyard leaders.

There are deputy managers, factory directors, department heads, etc.

They watched Fang Zhe getting angry, but they remained silent.

Not to mention that Fang Zhe is the top leader of this branch.

The key is that he has always given people a gentle and gentle feeling, but everyone present has never seen him so angry, even slightly ferocious.

"Damn...damn!!!"

Fang Zhe's veins were exposed.

He yelled loudly: "Why? Why on earth is this? How come it's such a damn coincidence that when we are about to feed the materials, a war suddenly starts abroad, causing the price of heavy metals to skyrocket so much?"

The leaders looked at each other and remained silent.

Feeding materials at this stage has been decided long ago.

Once the shipyard is completely built, production can begin directly.

First locate the address, then receive the order, then produce, and finally deliver.

This is a series of processes in all shipyards.

The order has a contract period.

Under normal circumstances, shipyards will squeeze this kind of deadline very full, after all, there will be other orders later.

It is precisely because of this that most shipyards will default on delivery.

To put it bluntly, if the owner of a large cargo ship like this makes even the slightest glitch, delayed delivery will become inevitable.

As the general manager, Fang Zhe is naturally aware of these.

However, he is full of confidence and expectations for the future development of Landao City.

He believes that he has the ability to make this place the leading shipyard in the country!

However.

At this critical moment of feeding in materials, foreign countries declared war!

And it’s a declaration of war by a top military power!

All heavy metal materials have skyrocketed overnight!

It was so fast that when Fang Zhe woke up the next day, after hearing the news, his brain shut down for a full 20 minutes!

What does the rise in heavy metal prices mean?

Fang Zhe didn't think about other fields.

He only knows that the first one to suffer is himself!

The cost that was controllable before has now doubled!

If it were just like this, Fang Zhe would still be able to accept it.

But he knew very well that this kind of war that was officially opened and officially home would definitely not end in a day or two.

The current skyrocketing price of heavy metals is just the beginning!

"Huh...huh..."

Fang Zhe breathed heavily.

If his upbringing hadn't told him not to go crazy, he might even have overturned his desk at this moment!

The so-called ‘three things to do when a new official takes office’.

He was about to show off his skills, but when he was full of confidence, he was poured cold water on him first!

What to do with the remaining two handfuls?

Click on your sister!

"Mr. Fang, our only option now is to bite the bullet and acquire the materials," someone said.

Fang Zhe's expression darkened: "You still need to tell me? I don't know this myself?"

The man shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Of course Fang Zhe knew that this was the only way.

After the contract is signed, a ship is worth at least 300 million, and the liquidated damages are as high as 5 times, which is a loss of more than 1 billion!

The key is that there is more than one ship!

If one ship is delayed, then all the others will have to be postponed.

To a certain extent, the branch factory cannot afford this kind of liquidated damages alone!

In comparison.

Although the price of heavy metal materials is rising now, it is still better than paying liquidated damages.

The main reason is that the further you delay, the more expensive the materials will be!

"Chang Lei, have you ever contacted Tongyun Heavy Railway and Pingliang Steel?"

Fang Zhe took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and asked one of the men in his thirties.

"I contacted you this morning, but..."

Chang Lei's face was a little ugly: "The Tongyun Heavy Railway is very stubborn. They insist on whatever the market price is, and Mr. Zhang made it clear what he meant directly, saying that Tongyun Heavy Railway currently does not have one in the country.

Inventory, coupled with the impact of the Orr virus, means that if you want to ship materials in from abroad, you will have to delay at least a month or two, or even longer."

"What did you say?!"

Fang Zhe suddenly raised his head, his eyes looking a little red.

"Is this what Zhang Tianlong said? Did Xingchen Shipyard feed him too much? So much so that he got carried away and didn't know what he was!"

Chang Lei said nothing and looked a little angry.

He is an older generation employee of Xingchen Shipyard in China, so he naturally knows that Xingchen Shipyard and Tongyun Heavy Railway have always cooperated closely.

Zhang Tianlong is not the chairman of Tongyun Heavy Railway, but the chairman puts all the power of speech on Zhang Tianlong. With Fang Zhe's intelligence, he naturally understands why.

"Okay, Zhang Tianlong is really good, I hope he won't beg me in the future!"

Fang Zhe said in a low voice: "What about Pingliang Steel Industry? What did Xu Tong say?"

"Mr. Xu..." Chang Lei was about to speak.

Fang Zhe shouted loudly: "What's wrong? His name is Xu Tong, just call him by his name!"

Chang Lei's face twitched, and he thought that Fang Zhe was completely furious.

The sharp rise in the price of heavy metal materials this time really caught Fang Zhe off guard and completely broke his defenses.

Perhaps he also expected that there would be no good news from Pingliang Steel Industry, so Fang Zhe said this.

Under normal circumstances, Pingliang Steel should have approached Fang Zhe first.

With Chang Lei's identity, he still couldn't call Xu Tong by his full name.

He said slowly: "Mr. Fang, the price at Pingliang Steel is 1.2 times higher than the market price, and they can only provide one ton of steel plates."

This time Fang Zhe was not furious, but laughed outright.

Xingchen Shipyard manufactures all large international cargo ships, one of which can weigh hundreds of thousands of tons!

What can a mere ton of steel plates do?

Who is Xu Tong disgusting with?

The price is 1.2 times higher than the market price!

"Okay, damn okay!"

Fang Zhe snorted coldly: "Before the price of heavy metals increased, they were the ones who came to beg me. Seeing that the contract was about to be signed, something like this happened again. Instead, they became the favorites and even threatened me.

.”

Hear this.

Senior executives at other shipyards remained silent.

Although they were not in Fang Zhe's position, they could understand Fang Zhe's mood very well.

If Fang Zhe had looked down on others in the past, Xu Tong and Zhang Tianlong could be regarded as turned serfs and sang and vented their anger!

But Fang Zhe didn’t!

In the past, when the other party came to seek help from Fang Zhe, Fang Zhe was never overbearing. He just made a normal market comparison and finally chose who to cooperate with.

in this case.

The other party suddenly gave Fang Zhe a fish-forgetting fish trap and put Fang Zhe on the flame to roast.

Although this is human nature.
