Chapter 12 Brothers in distress

Masamichi Matsumoto felt that he was in a dilemma. He should continue talking with the Fang family. Judging from the current situation, it might be difficult for the two parties to reach an agreement. However, if the negotiations were suspended, it would give Albeid Steel Company an advantage.

It disrupted the structure that Nippon Steel had carefully set up over the years.

And someone who had the same feeling as him was Fernand Jacobs!

After the interview with Fang Mingyuan, Fernand conducted two rounds of formal negotiations with Lin Rong on behalf of Albeid Steel Company. Unlike Masamichi Matsumoto, these two rounds of negotiations still achieved certain results. The Fang family expressed great concern for Albert.

The performance of the equipment provided by the German Steel Company was quite satisfactory. As for the quotation proposed by the Albeid Steel Company, the two parties are still negotiating. During the negotiations, the Fang family also proposed the transfer of automotive steel plate technology.

It is also an exclusive license or exclusive license within China, as well as a transferable license!

Fernand was actually not surprised by this request from the Fang family. Judging from his understanding of the Fang family's development over the years, the Fang family was very good at seizing opportunities. Now Nippon Steel Corporation and Albed Steel are both seeking

If the Fang family's equipment purchase contract is to gain some benefits at this time, it will not be the Fang family, but a Chinese state-owned enterprise with deep pockets and no regard for taking money seriously.

In response to the Fang family's request, there was not much opposition to the transfer within Albed Steel Company. This is mainly because the current import market for China's automotive steel plates is mainly occupied by American and Japanese companies, and the remaining market is

Share, for Albed Steel Company, the share is small and can be ignored.

Since it is impossible for it to really occupy a place in China's automotive steel plate market at least in the short term, and there is also a Haibao Steel Group Company in China that can produce automotive steel plates, Albeid Steel Company naturally does not mind taking this.

Transferring technology to the Fang family will make a fortune on the one hand, but also create trouble for the Japanese and Americans on the other. Of course, this only refers to the production technology of steel plates for low-end cars, and it cannot be used on mid- to high-end cars.

High-end technology. This little bit of tacit understanding is still there among these world-renowned steel companies.

What troubled Fernand was that the transfer price of the Fang family was quite different from the price expected by Albeid Steel Company.

Initially, when Albed Steel Company proposed a transfer price, Fernand's offer was an eye-opener for Fernand. It actually cut the transfer price proposed by Albed Steel Company in half. At this price, Albed Steel

Naturally, the company couldn't accept it. After a fierce dispute, the two parties broke up without any results. In the subsequent negotiations, both parties took a step back. Fernan lowered the offer by 5%, and the Fang family also lowered the price.

There was a "tacit agreement" to increase the rate by 5%, but naturally there was no consensus.

After these days of repeated bargaining between the two parties, up to now, the price difference between the two parties is still 20 million US dollars!

Fernand knew that this was already the lowest limit of the authorization given to him by the headquarters of Albeid Steel Company. With his authority, it was impossible to lower the transfer price. If the Fang family still insisted on this price in the end, then unless Albedo Steel Company

If Bader Steel's headquarters lowers the transfer amount, then it will have no choice but to announce that the negotiations have broken down.

Fernan didn't want to do that because he didn't know whether the result of doing so would affect the equipment purchase contract that the two parties had basically reached a consensus on. That was a purchase contract of up to 250 million US dollars. Although

He said that this amount is not very exciting for him who has worked in the United States for a long time, but considering the economic strength gap between China and the United States, and considering the export situation of Albed Steel Company to China over the years,

For Fernand, who has just taken office, this is still a very good start! If you consider the significance attached to this contract, it will make Fernand feel even more reluctant to part with it.

Moreover, Fernan knows that Nippon Steel is currently actively seeking the Fang family's procurement contract, and the negotiations between the two parties have reached the fourth round. Of course, this number means that the negotiations between the two parties are not going so smoothly. Fernan

Nan guessed that the main problem lies in technology transfer.

Although Fernan didn't know what kind of requirements the Fang family made to Nippon Steel, he could definitely imagine that if the issue of technology transfer was not involved, based on Nippon Steel's quotation for these equipment, there would be

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Fang family to choose Albed Steel Company for the low-interest long-term loan in Japanese yen promised by Masamichi Matsumoto. Even if the equipment provided by Albed Steel Company best meets the requirements of the Fang family, it is not worth it.

Therefore, we gave up the favorable conditions provided by Nippon Steel.

According to Fernan's estimate, if the Fang family purchased the equipment provided by Nippon Steel, the total cost would be nearly 20% lower than that of Albed Steel! This is even when the Japanese yen loan interest rate is 100%.

In the third case, if the Japanese yen loan interest rate is 1%, the cost savings will be even higher! With such a huge cost gap, it is impossible for any normal businessman to refuse! Fernan compared his heart to his heart.

, of course, I don’t think that the Fang family will insist on purchasing Albed Steel Company’s equipment after the negotiation for technology transfer fails.

Although the negotiations between Nippon Steel and the Fang family are still in a stalemate, who can guarantee that the two parties will not reach an agreement? Once Nippon Steel reaches an agreement with the Fang family, it means that for a period of time, Nippon Steel has reached an agreement with the Fang family.

All the efforts were in vain!

And it’s not just Nippon Steel’s problem, there’s also Bethlehem Steel’s problem. Although, after this period of contact with the United States, Fernan has not received any definite information from the United States to prove that Bethlehem Steel and the Fang family

There was some connection, but Fernand didn't dare to be careless about it at all.

You know, in the history of business, it is common for acquisition and transfer plans like this to be hidden from the world for several years or even more than ten years, and only announced to the public when the dust finally settled. Especially like the Fang family, although in the

The supermarket chain industry is somewhat famous, but after all, it is still a relatively unknown newcomer in the steel industry, and Bethlehem Steel Company is also in decline now. If it is deliberately hidden from the outside world, it is not surprising that the news cannot be found out.

Therefore, as long as the agreement between the Fang family and the Albed Steel Company has not been officially signed, Fernan does not dare to be careless in the slightest, which is also an unbearable torture for him. (To be continued. If
