On the second day, the trade fair started to get busy almost as soon as it got light. Everyone began to calculate various data and budget for various possibilities. Among them, only the Huaxia side was the most leisurely, looking like they had a chance to win.
, this has made many lovers in Western countries feel pressure. In fact, who knew that Wang Hai didn't sleep a wink all night last night? It's just that he is a powerful cultivator, so he can stay up for months without any problems, just meditate.
"Ahem, thank you for your participation. On behalf of Guinea, I warmly welcome everyone to participate. Now please let me introduce to you our Guinean participants." Paltrow gave a passionate speech on the stage, and then introduced some military personnel.
People also introduced them one by one. Although it is not enough to send the president for such a big thing, some heavyweights from other departments must be present. These minerals, even if they are returned for a few years and the currency is still relatively stable, will be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Tens of billions is enough to make the country of Guinea go crazy.
"Okay, everyone has gotten to know each other. Let me reiterate our trading rules this time. This transaction uses barter. What we need is a large number of weapons and certain technologies. These technologies
We don’t want those that are too high-end, as long as ordinary mid-level technologies are enough, otherwise we won’t be able to digest them.
However, the biggest disadvantage of bartering is that it is troublesome to measure value. Therefore, we still use US dollars as the intermediate unit of evaluation of value. In addition, what we need most is not whether it is of high quality and low price, but whether it is of high quality and low price.
It’s about whether it’s suitable for us.
As an analogy, if we use an ordinary rifle and an ordinary assault rifle as an analogy, the difference in value between the two is about ten times. Even if calculated as ten times, then we spend the same price, and an ordinary rifle can equip ten of us.
, but the assault rifle can only equip one of us. In this case, the ordinary ordinary rifle is the most suitable for us.
At this point, please understand that after all, we are only a third world country." However, although Paltrow said that it was a third world country, her tone made people feel hateful. This kind of
Whatever you hear and think about the tone: We are a third world country, you have to push the prices down hard! Otherwise, hey, you know...
"This transaction adopts a bidding method. Everyone has three opportunities. Now let's start the first bidding." After Paltrow finished speaking, someone distributed paper and pens. There were less than 100 people below, plus various
This kind of team or a coalition of countries only has about ten teams.
The bidding matter is not something that can be completed easily. It requires everyone to negotiate together, especially those from different countries who unite, and they need to carefully negotiate their own interests. Only on the Chinese side, it is really very easy.
In his own country, Wang Hai led the team. It took only ten minutes to submit the bid. Seeing that other countries would probably take a whole morning and the first results would not be announced until the afternoon, so Wang Hai also led the team.
The entourage, guided by Guinea, continued traveling, leaving behind a group of stunned people from other countries.
This time the bidding document was very simple. Wang Hai only listed the types, quantities, technical levels, etc. of the accompanying weapons, and estimated them. This matter was already done when he came to Africa. Last night, he revised and beautified it according to the actual situation. Wang Hai
Hai is just restating those things here. In short, it is one sentence: all our items are exchanged for all the bauxite you have here.
Compared with Wang Hai, other countries have a lot of trouble. Not to mention anything else, the transportation problem of 510 million tons of bauxite is enough to give these people a headache. Currently, the largest transport ship has a displacement of about 500,000 tons.
tons, but after excluding the dead weight, it can have a load capacity of 380,000 tons, which is not bad. However, many times around the world, the 500,000-ton class ships are less than a slap in the face; the next ones are the 300,000-ton class,
This is too much. There are still nearly a thousand, but on average for every country, the number is a bit tragic. Among the main transport ships, the largest ones are still in the 100,000 to 200,000 tons class. By then, they will only be
The transportation costs alone are enough to give these countries a headache.
Wang Hai wandered leisurely, and the comfort made the people from other countries who sneaked out to follow him gnash their teeth with hatred. They were having a good time, but he could only follow them secretly. They ate while he drank.
When others go to the bathroom, I have to wait outside; when others drink water, I drink air. Fortunately, I only have half a morning.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered again. Without saying anything else, Paltrow directly asked everyone to start the second bid, and at the same time announced that China had been selected for the first bid. The specific details of the bids from all parties,
Of course, it must be kept strictly confidential and no leakage shall be allowed.
Also, this kind of bidding is based on the last bid price, not the so-called best-of-two games.
No one was surprised that Huaxia won the first bid. Although we didn’t know much about Huaxia’s specific situation, we still had some guesses. This time we were just testing the waters. After all, there were still two more, so don’t worry. The benefits are the greatest.
Chemicalization is the main thing, not necessarily obtaining these bauxite. Although, there may not be such resources in the future.
The second bidding was much faster, because we had the basis of the first day, and on the basis of testing the water, we only needed to make appropriate changes. However, Guinea could not draw conclusions so quickly, because at any point
Small changes can increase or decrease the country's assets by hundreds of millions.
Therefore, the bidding that afternoon ended in just half an hour. After that, all the people started to march together. During the conversation, they reported their own vague information and also wanted to get some information from others.
Sometimes, the real big information is contained in these lies that are said inadvertently, but sometimes the people involved don't know it. As a real important official of the country, he still has such ability.
In the evening, a group of people went back to their homes in a "happy" atmosphere.
On the morning of the third day, the second bidding results were announced. The results were not too good for Americans, because this time it was India. In this country, those low-end and cheap products are not as good for European and American countries.
It is really a huge impact. Moreover, compared with European and American countries, neither China nor India has any political interests in the tender documents. In country-to-country transactions, political interests often override economic interests.
.And in this case, neither China nor India is involved in political interests. They just want to exchange goods. Just one thing has already made Guinea's heart flutter.
To put it bluntly, Guinea is only a third world country, and it is still a relatively backward country in the third world. He really cannot afford to get involved in the game between those big countries. Therefore, as long as the difference in value is not too big,
Guinea would rather lose some of its interests than accept the participation of European and American politics.
But this time, European and American countries were really anxious. They failed to win the bid twice, and due to confidentiality reasons, although the specific problem is vaguely known, it is also very possible in other places, such as the number of weapons.
The price of a single weapon, etc. The most important thing is that neither bid was won twice, and there is no specific reference. It seems that the only real bloodletting will be done.
In fact, no one knows that there is no change in the price between Wang Hai's second bid and the first bid, not even the punctuation. Because there is only one line in the bid: follow yesterday's execution.
This time, it is also Wang Hai's test, and this time, Wang Hai does not have any hope of winning the bid again. His conditions remain unchanged. Even if Guinea is still very satisfied with his price, he will not choose himself.
Anyone with a little bit of brain here knows that only changes will create competition. Maybe next time China will bring even more unexpected surprises.
The third bid was finally handed in. This time Wang Hai left in less than a minute. This made the remaining people restless. Obviously Wang Hai was very confident!
Silence and depression began to spread in this spacious hall.
