King of Industry

  Chapter 527 The best choice: multi-faceted flowering

   After a group of people finished supper, Zhao Guoyang sat down with everyone and talked about the company's current situation.

  Zhang Yufang first reported the inspection status of the last batch of niobium-tantalum ore in Shagang Group to Zhao Guoyang.

"Mr. Zhao, according to the data inspected by Shagang Group, the batch of niobium and tantalum ore shipped by 'Sunmoonstar' company has an industrial grade index of (Ta, Nb) 205, 0.025-0.035%, which has greatly exceeded the regulations stipulated by our country. The minimum industrial product is used as an indicator, which belongs to high-quality ore.”

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang nodded in relief.

  When I first discussed cooperation with Suzanne in the Samba country, I took a fancy to the richness and high quality of rare metal resources in this country.

   Now it seems that the memory of my previous life is indeed correct, and the test results of the niobium-tantalum ore this time fully prove this point.

  When Zhao Guoyang nodded happily, Wang Zecheng over there said a little puzzled: "Mr. Zhang, what is this niobium-tantalum ore industrial grade indicator? Is it important?"

  After hearing his question, several people sitting next to him shot Zhang Yufang inquiring glances.

   Seeing everyone looking over, Zhang Yufang felt a little cramped.

  In fact, she didn't know all about the information about the niobium-tantalum ore. She just wrote down every word of the phone call between herself and Hu Jun, the deputy sales director of Shagang Group.

   Now that Wang Zecheng and the others are asking questions about their concepts, Zhang Yufang certainly has no way to answer them.

   Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting in the middle, saw Zhang Yufang's embarrassment, and explained in a voice: "Zecheng, your question is more professional, so let me answer it for you."

  Wang Zecheng also reacted at this time, knowing that he had invisibly prevented Teacher Zhang from stepping down, so he showed an embarrassed look on his face.

  Zhang Yufang did not blame him, but said to Zhao Guoyang with a chuckle: "Thank you Mr. Zhao for helping me out. I really don't understand the meaning of these data. I just repeated the words of Shagang Group according to the script..."

  Zhao Guoyang waved her hand indifferently, and began to explain: "Everyone should also be aware that the grade of ore is the key factor affecting its price."

   "Especially for rare metal mines, the quality of the ore is the most important thing!"

"In China, the minimum industrial grade index for calculating the reserves of tantalum and niobium deposits stipulated by relevant departments is: (Ta, Nb) 205, 0.016-0.028%. That is to say, the mining value of deposits lower than this index can be reduced greatly reduced."

  When Zhao Guoyang told this point, Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman nodded to express their understanding.

  Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "According to the information I read in relevant magazines and newspapers, the grades of most tantalum and niobium deposits in our country are close to or slightly higher than the minimum industrial grade indicators."

"Among the several rare metal deposits that have been discovered, there are almost no Ta205 grades exceeding 0.02%, and Nb205 grades exceeding 0.1%. At present, there are only a few carbonatite deposits, and the Nb205 grades of other types of deposits are all around 0.02% .”

   "To describe it in one sentence, these few rare metal mines are tasteless and a pity to discard. The investment in mining is not directly proportional to the income resources!"

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Xiao Ruoyu, a more professional person, nodded and echoed: "Mr. Big."

   "However, the Ta205 grade of known tantalum resources hardly exceeds 0.02%. The same is true for niobium resources."

   "Obviously, the 'reserves' obtained with such a low-grade set are incomparable with the reserves calculated with high-grade foreign countries. Moreover, this also involves a problem that is more difficult to mine low-quality ores..."

  Xiao Ruoyu came from Shagang Group, so he knew the information was understandable.

  However, since this guy came to "Xingtai International", he has always kept a low profile, and it is rare to talk about it on such an occasion, so that people will no longer despise him at all.

  Wang Zecheng patted Xiao Ruoyu's shoulder in amazement when he heard this, and said, "Yes, Xiao Xiao, your professional level is almost as good as our President Zhao's!"

  For Wang Zecheng's praise, Xiao Ruoyu was naturally insensitive.

  After everyone chatted and laughed, Zhao Guoyang said to Zhang Yufang earnestly: "Mr. Zhang, since the quality of the ore has been confirmed, then we can rush to rush the goods with Susanna."

   "Although Suzanne and I can communicate directly, it is inevitable that there will be an unfortunate situation where we do not receive a call. Therefore, you should also keep in touch with Suzanne!"

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's serious explanation, Zhang Yufang solemnly nodded in agreement.

   "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. I wrote down Miss Suzanne's contact information before. As long as there is a need, I can contact her at any time!"

"Ah, very good!"

  Zhao Guoyang nodded his head in relief when he heard the words, "I will leave the ore trade to Mr. Zhang and you will be in charge."

   "If time permits, you and Xiaoqian will fly to the country of Samba after a while to inspect the mining progress of several mineral deposits and see what is needed."

  Hearing this, Zhang Yufang hesitated for a moment, her eyes swept over Zhao Qian's excited face.

  Seeing her expression, Zhao Guoyang naturally understood what she was thinking.

  He laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang, do you think I sent you and Xiaoqian to the Samba country, and there is a sense of favoritism? It would be more appropriate to let Zecheng and Ruoyu, who are engaged in market development, go?"

  Zhang Yufang didn't expect Zhao Guoyang to ask so directly, and his face turned red at that time.

  Different from Zhang Yufang, Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman gave Zhao Guoyang the thumbs-up for the chairman's straightforwardness.

   Zhao Guoyang waved his hands to the two "returnees" with a smile, then turned to Zhang Yufang and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have my reasons for letting you and Xiaoqian go to Samba."

   "Now our "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" is in a state of vigorous development. If you want to expand the company's business scope as soon as possible, multi-faceted blossoming is the best choice at the moment."

   "Blooming in many ways?" Hearing this, Zhang Yufang asked subconsciously.

   "Exactly!"

  Zhao Guoyang said confidently, "I'll let you and Xiaoqian go to the Samba country. In addition to inspecting the mining progress of the mine, there are other important tasks!"

   Hearing what Zhao Guoyang said solemnly, both Zhang Yufang and Zhao Qian were shocked at the same time, waiting for his next words.

  Zhao Guoyang didn’t hold back either. He said straightaway: “Now our company’s import business already has a stable project of ore. The next step is to continue to expand to other industries.”

   "The country of Samba has a large land area and is extremely rich in products. If you go there, you can investigate some other items, such as coffee beans, raw sugar, cellulose, etc."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang half-jokingly said: "The majority of practitioners of these types of projects in Samba are mostly women, so it would be somewhat inconvenient for two big men, Zecheng and Ruoyu, to conduct business inspections. "

   "More importantly, both of them can only speak English, and they don't know anything about Portuguese. So, after thinking about it, this time, you and Xiaoqian should go first."

  When Zhao Guoyang said this, everyone naturally understood.

  Wang Zecheng nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, this time I'll leave it to Teacher Zhang and Sister Xiaoqian. However, if I have the opportunity to travel to English-speaking countries in the future, I won't give up easily!"

  Listening to Wang Zecheng's ridicule, the group all laughed.

   Seeing everyone chatting enthusiastically without barriers, Zhao Guoyang felt a little relieved.

   Indeed, when he established the "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company", he put the harmony of the team first.

  In Zhao Guoyang’s cognition beyond this era, the key to the success of an enterprise is the harmony and tacit understanding of the team.

   Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that everyone is getting along well.

  After listening to Wang Zecheng and the others laughing for a while, Zhao Guoyang started a new topic again.

   "Okay, after talking about the company's import products, let's talk about export!"

  Speaking of the issue of export, Wang Zecheng, the market operation manager, naturally did his part.

  After Zhao Guoyang made a head start, Wang Zecheng patted his chest and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry about the export issue. Our marketing operation department has already conducted serious research."

  Glancing at Xiao Ruoyu next to him, Wang Zecheng said: "Xiao Xiao and I have traveled to many places in SJ these two days. We also have a general intention in terms of product selection."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang nodded with interest and said: "Well, not bad, very motivated and proactive."

   "Let's talk about it. After you have inspected, you have decided which project to export, the destination of the export, and where are you going to put it?"

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's question, Wang Zecheng smiled flatteringly and told the results of his and Xiao Ruoyu's research.

   "Mr. Zhao, Xiao Xiao and I visited many factories in SJ these days, and indeed found a lot of business opportunities!"

  Wang Zecheng said confidently: "For example, large appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners; light industrial products, clothes, shoes, etc., are very popular overseas."

   "As for the export destination, Xiao Xiao and I always think that it is better to put it in Southeast Asia and Latin America."

Wang Zecheng explained: "The economic development of these countries is not slow, and they have a certain consumption capacity. In addition, in Latin America, Mr. Zhao, you have a helper like Miss Suzanne. After our products are shipped, they will enter the market immediately. It shouldn't be a problem."

  After hearing Wang Zecheng's analysis, Zhao Guoyang nodded in approval.

  He rubbed his chin and said appreciatively, "That's right, Zecheng, you've made great progress during this period. The products you mentioned, as well as the export destinations, are indeed feasible!"

   Just when Wang Zecheng was complacent, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: "However, there is a broader market, maybe you have forgotten!"
