Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After the three German industrial giants finalized the plan, they began to discuss the details and precautions for the second negotiation with Bao Zixuan. Since Oliver Lehard made obvious mistakes during the first negotiation, he could only serve as an auxiliary negotiator this time.

Rehagel-Thyssen has a college degree in the steel industry, so he has an advantage over the two of them. In addition, Andert-Krupp himself does not like to interfere with anything. Therefore, Rehagel-Thyssen was responsible for the main negotiations on the German side this time.

In fact, this is also a deliberate attempt by Thyssen and Krupp to compress the status and interests of Rheinmetall. After all, they have a lot of cooperation with Heiyun. If this negotiation is affected by some unclear interest disputes in previous cooperation, then their interests will be damaged. On the contrary, they can strive to maximize their interests.

However, this matter still requires a board meeting with detailed rare earth content data. After adding the results of their respective inspections, the boards of directors of the three companies all approved the plan. After all, they can continuously produce industrial equipment, but they have no rare earth minerals at all.

Bao Zixuan and the second son of the Huo family were not idle either. Bao Zixuan, accompanied by Hashimoto Hiroshi, inspected the entire German Black Cloud dealers and stores. Bao was very happy to see the popularity of Heiyun electronic products in Europe. However, the good mood disappeared instantly when he saw that major appliances could not be sold. It seems that Heiyun has to put in some effort in the field of major appliances, otherwise it will not be able to compete with others.

Second Young Master Huo went to Luxembourg, mainly to confuse his opponents. These Germans must be sending people to monitor Bao Zixuan and others. If Bao Zixuan leaves at this time, it would seem a bit contradictory. After all, the three days are not up yet. Huo Zhenhuan is different. It can be said that he can travel to Luxembourg, take vacations, or recruit workers. Once the Germans ask, he has room for maneuver and will not cause too much trouble.

Mr. Huo really had something important to do. He went to Luxembourg to recruit engineers. As a steel kingdom, Luxembourg has only 440,000 people. Even if they all learn steel technology, it is impossible to build such a large-scale steel enterprise, so they have recruited many teams of engineers from all over the world.

Huo Zhenhuan's task is to find some Asians and see if they are willing to return to Asia to work. The salary and benefits can be increased accordingly. How many people can be brought back depends on Mr. Huo's personal charm and ability.

Three days passed quickly, and we were still in the hotel. This time, the three German technology tycoons seemed to have agreed upon it. They were almost all looking at Rehagel-Thyssen, as if to say, it’s up to you next.

Rehagel-Thyssen: "Hello, Mr. Bao! How have you been resting in Germany these days? The scenery of the Rhine River is not bad!"

Bao Zixuan: "Germany is really a beautiful place. When I get old, I will definitely live here for a period of time every year. Mr. Thyssen, we can be neighbors by then. How do you feel about it!"

Hearing Bao Zixuan say that we will be neighbors when we are old, this makes Rehagel-Thyssen live towards the age of 100 and above.

Rehagel-Thyssen: "I am very welcome to be a neighbor, but you really value my body too much. I will be over a hundred years old when you are old, and I probably won't live that old. I still want to thank you, I strive to work towards this goal.”

Bao Zixuan: "How do you think about the rare earth mineral testing I provided? Can it meet your requirements?"

Rehagel-Thyssen previously investigated many reports about Heiyun and Bao Zixuan, especially their personality traits and styles in negotiations. He learned from this that Bao Zixuan often suffered losses during the negotiation process. Although it is much better now, it was because he basically did not participate in the specific negotiations. This allowed him to see an opportunity, an opportunity to maximize profits.

In fact, Bao Zixuan didn't want to go into negotiations personally, but this time the matter was too big. If you let others come over, you may get more benefits, but it will definitely take a long time. Bao Zixuan, who wanted to strengthen his own strength before the collapse of the Soviet Union, couldn't afford to delay, so he came in such a hurry.

Rehagel-Thyssen: "Mr. Bao's products are indeed good, but there are many good minerals in the world. We don't have them in Germany, but rare earth resources can still be purchased in other places, but who made us friends! We do I hope I can cooperate with Mr. Bao, after all, Mr. Bao’s strength and reputation cannot be overemphasized.”

"Germany's industrial equipment is definitely the best in the world. They are simply works of art. Mr. Bao, you won't object to this, right?"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I personally like German machinery and equipment very much. At the same time, many of Heiyun's equipment and workers are of German descent, so I hope to get German smelting equipment, so that there will be no waste in resource integration."

Rehagel-Thyssen: "Both of us have the intention and sincerity to cooperate. Now we just hope to reach a consensus at a balance point. What do you think?"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I come with sincerity."

Rehagel-Thyssen: "The second son of the Huo family in Xiangjiang is now in Luxembourg. Mr. Bao's sincerity is somewhat insufficient."

Bao Zixuan: "Second Master Huo is going to Luxembourg for vacation. I heard that the scenery there is very good. I want to go there, but I hope we can go there for vacation after we reach cooperation."

Rehagel Thyssen knew that Bao Zixuan was now in charge, and he could only maximize the benefits from the limited cards, so he said: "Bao Sheng, I hope that unless there are irresistible factors in the future, you can't unilaterally Tear up the rare earth supply contracts for our three companies and supply them all at a 10% discount on the market price."

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, but the premise is that you must provide me with the equipment I need. I have to choose the equipment model myself. In addition, you need to provide technical guidance for the dismantling and installation of your existing overcapacity equipment. I mean that you can make steel." That kind of level."

Rehagel-Thyssen: "These are all fine, but at what price are you prepared to exchange the rare earth minerals with us?"

Bao Zixuan: "10,000 US dollars per ton, the exchange with you is 9,000 US dollars per ton."

Rehhagel-Thyssen: "This price is too high and we cannot accept it."

Bao Zixuan: "You should know the quality of these rare earths. Only I can provide them in the world. If Germany gets these resources, will industrial enterprises in other countries still be competitive? I think the only thing left is for German enterprises to lose. And I can still do it." I promise that your old equipment will be exchanged for the price of new equipment, provided that they can be used for more than 10 years."

In fact, there is nothing we can do about it. China's current steel smelting capabilities are really not good enough. Take Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. as an example. China's largest steel company currently uses mostly Japanese equipment from the 1930s. At best, it is the level of Japan during World War II, and it has fallen far behind in the world. Such equipment is rarely used in Africa, let alone Europe.

At this time, many people also admired the wisdom of the Chinese people. It was simply unimaginable that they used such equipment and industrial foundation to build atomic bombs and nuclear submarines.

Most of the machinery and equipment of these three companies were built for German defense during the Cold War, and they mainly provided raw materials to nearby NATO countries. But later it was discovered that the Soviet Union was unstoppable, at least in Germany. It certainly could not stop the Soviet Union's steel torrent. Many of them are built but not used, which causes waste to a certain extent, but in a life-and-death moment like war, who would care about this. Moreover, the current general environment is not good. European steel production is generally overproduced and there is almost no market.

All European countries are either big steel countries, or they are small and have few people with little spending power. The Japanese control the Asian market very strictly, and the steel production in America is not low. It can be said that Africa basically does not need it.

Bao Zixuan seized this opportunity to come to Germany for negotiations. He had absolute confidence.
