Time passed day by day, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a cargo ship docked at the port of Jinwei City.
People from Starlight Energy Group quickly went to the customs to go through the relevant procedures. The freighter was loaded with silica sand and began to unload.
Shengguang Solar Energy Company has a special silica sand storage site, which has already been freed up. Trucks loaded with silica sand left the port and headed towards Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
In just the past two days, another international cargo ship loaded with silica sand has docked.
Immediately afterwards, a cargo ship loaded with coal docked, also materials purchased by the energy group.
Next, copper ore, iron ore, and various materials began to arrive one after another, and people from the energy group went through the formalities and immediately started unloading the goods.
Not only Jinwei City, the morning market has also started. For several days in a row, every day, freighters belonging to the Xingling Group arrived at the port and transported the materials on the freighters to temporary warehouses.
The supplies are not in short supply, but the quantity is huge. No one knows why the Protoss Group suddenly purchased so many supplies.
Early that morning, Zhang Hongbin couldn't help but take a car to the headquarters of Xingling Group to ask Gao Jin what was going on.
"How much is the international media price per ton now?" Gao Jin asked calmly.
"2100 RMB per ton" Zhang Hongbin blurted out. In the past few years, international coal prices have been rising continuously and have not fallen back.
Moreover, the price quoted by Zhang Hongbin is the delivery price.
Gao Jin smiled, looked at Zhang Hongbin and said, "My purchase price is 1,050."
Zhang Hongbin was stunned. It was half the price. How could this be possible? He took a serious look at Gao Jin and found that there was no joke on Gao Jin's face.
"What about silica sand and other materials?" Zhang Hongbin asked again.
"Similarly, they are all purchased at half price," Gao Jin said calmly.
"Sisi" Zhang Hongbin took a breath of cold air. He never imagined that the price would be such a low price. Are those dealers crazy? They actually sold it to the Xingling Group at such a low price.
"Less than half of the supplies arriving now. In the following days, a large amount of supplies will arrive, and many of the supplies have already contacted buyers."
Gao Jin said this with a smile, just like iron ore, which is 15% cheaper than the international price. The purchasing departments of several major domestic steel groups directly say that they need as much as they want.
There is also copper ore. The customer has already paid for the goods and is waiting for the goods to arrive so that vehicles can be arranged to take them away.
"Where did you get so many cheap supplies?" Zhang Hongbin looked at Gao Jin with confused eyes.
You know, state-owned enterprises cannot get this kind of price for purchases worth billions or billions, but Gaojin actually bought it at such a low price.
"Don't ask where you are from. I won't tell you. Everything is legal."
"Half of these materials are reserved for our own use by our Xingling Group. There are not many materials for sale, and they cannot disturb the market price."
"You don't have to worry about this."
Gao Jin started to tease Zhang Hongbin. After listening to Gao Jin's words, Zhang Hongbin gave Gao Jin a meaningful look. He hadn't said anything yet? Gao Jin started to gag himself.
"Stop your dirty mind, as long as your procedures are legal and your business and sales are legal, I will never interfere!" Zhang Hongbin stared into Gao Jin's eyes and said this.
Knowing that Zhang Hongbin had seen through his intentions, Gao Jin smiled slightly awkwardly, picked up the teapot and filled their cups.
"Did your Xingling Group company use so many supplies?" Zhang Hongbin put down his tea cup and said, from the data he obtained, the amount purchased by Xingling Group this time was really large.
"It won't be used in a short time, but this will reduce the cost of the research institute under the Xingling Group a lot."
"Every year, it costs billions of euros just to purchase various experimental materials from various research institutes, and this is still the result of control."
"Now that I have this batch of supplies, I don't have to control it anymore. All the experiments that couldn't be done before can now be done."
“This is definitely a big plus for the various project teams of the institute.”
"It's also a big plus for me. I can save a lot of money in the future."
"This year, our Xingling Group's expenses are really too high."
Gao Jin said these words with emotion. Zhang Hongbin nodded aside. Zhang Hongbin could have an idea of how much the Xingling Group spent this year.
"Let me ask you one more thing, what happened to your Xingling Group's secret layoffs?" When Zhang Hongbin asked this question, his expression was very serious and he was not joking at all.
"No, Xingling Group has not laid off employees at all." Gao Jin immediately rejected it and would never admit this matter.
Once you admit this, watch, there will definitely be more trouble later.
"Gao Jin, you are very smart"
"We all know this, but don't treat everyone as fools!"
"You know very well whether the Xingling Group has laid off employees. I came to ask you today not to ask for guilt, but to ask for a reason."
"As long as you have a reasonable excuse, the normal operation of the company will never be interfered with."
"If you have no reasonable excuse, you must correct this mistake. In the face of social stability, everything must give way!"
Zhang Hongbin was not polite at all when he said this. He knew Gao Jin too well. He could not be soft or hard. He had to be tough in a reasonable situation.
"This is a matter of specific management of the enterprise. I don't get involved in the specific management."
"Now I can only tell you one thing for sure. The Protoss Group headquarters has never issued an order to lay off employees!"
"If I am willing to lay off people, I can reasonably and legally lay off more than 30,000 people in one day!"
Gao Jin directly retorted. At this time, there must be no weakness. If there is any weakness, Zhang Hongbin will definitely climb up the pole.
"snort"
"Some things can't be treated as if they didn't happen if you don't admit them."
"Just take care of yourself"
After Zhang Hongbin finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, stood up and left. Gao Jin sat there and did not move. It was very rare that he did not see Zhang Hongbin off.
After walking out of the building and getting into the car, Zhang Hongbin couldn't help but cursed "bastard!".
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the driver to start the car. He raised his hand and rubbed his head, thinking about the secret layoffs of Xingling Group.
Regarding this matter, despite Zhang Hongbin's strong words, there is really no way to defeat Gao Jin.
Because Zhang Hongbin has no evidence at all!
From the beginning of this year to now, more than 30,000 people have resigned from Xingling Group’s branch in the Tianchao region.
The number of people who actually joined the company was not even one hundred.
Relevant departments have become convinced that Protoss Group is secretly laying off employees.
Many big bosses called Zhang Hongbin, trying to find out why Xingling Group secretly laid off employees. Understanding the reasons was more important than preventing Xingling Group from secretly laying off employees.
The reason why I say this is because relevant departments have conducted investigations at home and abroad. There has been no change in ordinary companies, but those international giant companies.
Everyone is playing the trick of secret layoffs.
The reason why these international giants are so careful about secret layoffs must be to cope with something that will happen in the future.
No one knows what the specific matter is.
Relevant departments have allocated 10 billion funds into unemployment insurance accounts to cope with future changes.
Time passed day by day. On this day, Xingguang Machinery Manufacturing Group sent an inspection team to Tianshui City for inspection secretly. The news was quickly reported to the top leaders of Ganxi Province.
At this stage, there are many people keeping an eye on Xingling Group and its subsidiaries. At the very least, the relevant agencies have dedicated personnel responsible for this matter.
As the company with the largest number of employees in the country, relevant departments really don’t dare to be careless at all.
Meng Guangxian looked at the report and went to Tianshui City to inspect. Could it be said that Starlight Manufacturing Group is going to launch a new project?
After much deliberation, there is no complete answer. This matter cannot be ignored. If there is really an investment project, no matter what, this project must be kept in Ganxi Province.
He picked up the phone and called Tianshui City. After communicating for almost thirty minutes, Meng Guangxian hung up the phone.
He stood up, took the report and went out. This matter must be discussed with Lao Zhou.
In a small courtyard of the Xinghai Botany Research Institute in Shan Province, a mechanical dog is busy in a test field. This is a wheat test field.
From time to time, the mechanical dog raised its paws and dug into the ground a few times, and a piece of grass was dug out.
Soon, the mechanical dog filled in the soil and continued to move forward, ignoring the dug grass.
Although the speed was a bit slow, he was very careful. Along the way, all the weeds found by the fan camera were cleared out, and not a single one was spared.
"Jason, what do you think, you actually added this kind of application to the mechanical dog?" Ding Jiajian, general manager of the Institute of Botany, asked curiously.
In Ding Jiajian's mind, such an advanced mechanical dog should be applied to high-precision industries, but these people would actually apply such a high-end mechanical dog to agriculture.
It's simply a waste of resources.
"Ding, I don't want to do this either. This is an order from above."
"Currently, domestic and foreign project teams developing mechanical dogs have encountered an insurmountable problem, which is how to convert mechanical dogs into commercial products."
"If you can't do this, your research and development will be worthless."
"Ge communicated with me about this matter and tried to reform it first. If the idea can be passed, my project team will be divided into two."
"Part of them will continue to develop the mechanical dog project, and some of them will carry out optimization of the mechanical dog weeding so that they can maximize their advantages in this area."
Jason said these words very unhappily. In his mind, his product was superior, and using it for weeding was an insult to him!
but!
This job is more important than an insult. I absolutely cannot work in industry at the moment and can only do it according to the requirements above.
Fortunately, this is just an application test. If the desired results are obtained, Jensen will continue to lead the project team to develop the mechanical dog.
