"Mr. Feng, what you mean is..."

Even though Cao Guangshan was dull by nature, he could hear the subtext in Feng Xiaochen's words at this time. Feng Xiaochen did not lock the door to death, but accused Jiang Gang of sending Cao Guangshan to him, which was inequality with others' actions of giving out hundreds of millions of real money and silver. This means that the matter of iron ore can be negotiated, and the key is what price Jiang Gang is willing to pay.

Feng Xiaochen did not go around the corner, but just slapped him and said to Cao Guangshan: "If Jianggang can take out 500 million yuan, if Jianggang can take it out, I can help coordinate in the next two years and provide Jianggang with no less than 10,000 tons of high-grade iron ore in Africa every year. This 500 million yuan is used to invest in iron ore, and will not let you pay in vain. In the future, it will be converted into the iron ore equity you own. Not only will it be given priority to obtain ore produced in the mine, but it can also participate in the dividends of the mine."

Cao Guangshan widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "What, does the Pitsig Iron Mine still need to expand its scale?"

Feng Xiaochen shook his head: "The scale of Pitsig Iron Mine is temporarily maintained. The transportation conditions there are limited, and it is difficult to find skilled miners. If the scale is expanded, there will be bottlenecks in many aspects."

"But didn't you just say that the 500 million yuan is used to invest in iron ore?" Cao Guangshan asked.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Old Cao, it is not only the Gabe country that has iron ore in the world. Many other countries also have iron ore. This time, the experience of cooperating with foreign parties to develop Pitsig iron ore can also be transplanted to other countries. If we want to ensure the safety of iron ore supply, we cannot place our hopes on a Pitsig iron ore, but we must blossom from all sides."

"You mean, the Economic and Trade Commission intends to cooperate with other countries to develop new iron ore. Do you have specific goals?" Cao Guangshan asked anxiously.

Feng Xiaochen smiled secretly and said, "Old Cao, this has to be kept secret now. Go back and ask Director Yan first if he is willing to give out 500 million yuan. If he is willing, I will introduce the investment issue to you in detail. If you don't want to, why should I talk more about it?"

"I think the factory is willing to invest, but I don't know if I can take out so much money. Five hundred million is not a small amount. I'm afraid our factory won't be able to take out for a while." Cao Guangshan was sloppy. What he actually had no idea was whether Yan Delin was willing to take out 500 million to invest in iron ore. As for money, if the factory wanted to find a way to squeeze it out, it would still be able to squeeze out the money.

Feng Xiaochen smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? Then please report this situation to Director Yan, so that he can seize the time to touch the property and see if he can get 500 million. We are also nervous. If we delay too much time, we won't wait for you."

Since Feng Xiaochen dared to ask Jiang Gang for 500 million, he naturally knew Jiang Gang's strength. Cao Guangshan was saying an excuse, and Feng Xiaochen would not provoke it. If Jiang Gang was unwilling to invest in iron ore under such circumstances, then Feng Xiaochen would be too lazy to care about them, so let reality educate them.

Cao Guangshan thanked Feng Xiaochen, chatted for a few more gossips, and then stood up and said goodbye. As soon as he returned to Jianggang's Beijing office, he immediately called Yan Delin and reported to him about Feng Xiaochen's offer.

"Five hundred million!" Yan Delin exploded on the other end of the phone, "Why didn't he go and grab it? We worked hard for a year and earned less than 500 million. He opened his mouth and asked us to pay 500 million. Isn't this a slander?"

Cao Guangshan said: "Following Mr. Feng's opinion, the last time he invested in Pitsig Iron Mine, Xiagang, and Donggang, they all paid hundreds of millions of dollars."

"We paid 10,000 US dollars, which is almost 150 million. This time he dared to ask us for 500 million?" Yan Delin said angrily.

Cao Guangshan didn't say anything, waiting for Yan Delin to finish his temper. Sure enough, after Yan Delin cursed a few words, the evidence eased. He said: "Old Cao, according to your judgment, Feng Xiaochen said 500 million yuan, is it really necessary to have so much? Or should we open a price first and wait for us to bargain?"

Cao Guangshan thought for a minute before he slowly said, "I really can't see this. However, judging from the last incident, I think his offer was serious. If we still bargained with him, it would probably leave him a very bad impression, and the subsequent things would be difficult to deal with."

Yan Delin was silent for a while, and then said, "Let me do this, I will ask about other situations first, and then consider whether to accept his conditions. Lao Cao, you will stay in the capital these few days, don't go anywhere. It's best to ask about it and see which country the iron ore he said was from. We can first touch it."

"Okay." Cao Guangshan agreed helplessly.

This wait took seven or eight days. Yan Delin, Teng Zhaoliang and others were active in the province. As a result, they not only failed to obtain more foreign exchange quotas, but also received worse news, that is, the country found that the severity of the financial crisis exceeded the original expectations, so they had to increase the intensity of compressing foreign exchange expenditures. Jianggang's foreign exchange quota increased from only 1/3 of the original notification to a full half of the compression.

"Isn't this forcing us to hang ourselves? If so, I can't do this factory director. The province should not look for Gao Ming!" Yan Delin made a fuss at the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission and directly threatened him for resigning.

"Old Yan, aren't you just angry?" Gao Li, director of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, comforted him and said: "Financial crisis is something that none of us would have thought of. The country said that at this time, we must stabilize our position and ensure production. We are not in chaos. The monsters and monsters outside cannot do anything to us. You are the old leader of Jiang Gang. In such a difficult time, you need to take the helm so that the province can rest assured. How can you give up?"

"If the province doesn't help me solve the problem of foreign exchange, what else can I do without iron ore? It's hard for a cook without rice. The problem of iron ore cannot be solved, and I, as the factory manager, cannot do it." Yan Delin said.

"Foreign exchange is absolutely not available." Gao Li said, "Without foreign exchange, you cannot import ore. Can't you use domestic ore? We have several large iron ore in our province? In the past, you also used the ore in the province, but why can't you do it now?"

"The production process is different. The blast furnace we are using now was built by Qinzhou Heavy Machinery Factory introduced Japan's Sanli Technology, and was designed to use high-grade ores. The iron ores in the province are all low-grade ores, and they cannot be refined in our blast furnaces." Yan Delin said lies without blinking. This is to bully Gao Li without understanding metallurgy. If Feng Xiaochen was here, Yan Delin would not dare to talk nonsense like this.

Gao Li frowned and said, "That's right? That's really hard to deal with. Lao Yan, I tell you that there is absolutely no room for foreign exchange problems, which involves national financial security. To put it bluntly, the country can't give you more foreign exchange quotas even if you see Jiang Gang go bankrupt. Do you understand?"

Speaking of this, Yan Delin also knew that this issue was incompatible. He said: "Director Gao, since you said that, I won't argue. Let me tell you a message. Our country invested in an iron ore in Africa last year, which is the Pitsig iron ore of the Cabe country. The iron ore there is similar grade to that of the Australian mine, and importing their iron ore only requires a small amount of foreign exchange, and most of it can be exchanged with our country's goods."

"There is such a good thing? Then why don't you use their iron ore?" Gao Li asked.

Yan Delin said: "This is what I want to coordinate with the Economic and Trade Commission. The National Equipment Industry Company is the one who takes the lead in investing in Pitsig Iron Mine, and they are also responsible for the distribution of ores. But the equipment company would rather sell these imported African iron ore to some private steel companies such as Xiaguang Steel Plant than to sell them to large state-owned enterprises like us. Do you think it's annoying?"

"Is that so? Then I'll ask for you." Gao Li said with a big bag.

I don’t know who Gao Li asked for to inquire. When Yan Delin came to his office the next day, Gao Li looked helpless and said to Yan Delin: "Old Yan, I have already inquired about this matter. People said that the Pitsig Iron Mine is operated in a joint-stock manner, and the distribution of iron ore must be determined based on the shares of each company. People also said that the equipment company first looked for you, but you were not interested and only paid 10,000 US dollars. If you pay less, the imported African iron ore will naturally not be able to be distributed to you more. It is useless for the province to come forward."

Yan Delin understood as soon as he heard this. It was obvious that the equipment company had already set the point. The Provincial Economic and Trade Commission came forward to negotiate, but others didn't care. The reason was reasonable and well-founded, what could the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission say?

So, Cao Guangshan came to Feng Xiaochen's office again. After sitting down, he said apologetically: "Mr. Feng, our factory has carefully calculated it. The funds that can be withdrawn now are about 300 million, and 500 million cannot be obtained. Look..."

"It's only 300 million?" Feng Xiaochen showed a regretful expression and said, "If this is the case, then forget it. 300 million is useless."

"What does it mean to forget it?" Cao Guangshan was stunned. Shouldn't the negotiation be bargaining? He said 300 million yuan, and the other party should ask for a increase of 400 million yuan, and then he gave a discount, and finally made a deal on a limit that both parties could accept. But Feng Xiaochen actually said "forget it". What does this "forget it" mean? Is 300 million yuan not money?

"Old Cao, don't get me wrong. I mean, 300 million is too little, far from enough. We have to have a separate account for you, which is too troublesome. Otherwise, let's forget about Jianggang's investment in the new iron ore." Feng Xiaochen said calmly.

Cao Guangshan was almost collapsed because he thought it was too troublesome to open an account, so he didn't want the 300 million yuan. Can you find a more ridiculous reason than this?

Cao Guangshan complained in his heart, but he was not convenient to say it. He asked, "Mr. Feng, according to your opinion, do you think how much money is needed for us Jianggang to pay?"
