King of Industry

  Chapter 912 Three hundred million dollars, more than enough

  In the office, Zhao Guoyang's explanation made Zhang Yufang finally let go of her worries.

  While she was thinking about the topics to be discussed next, she suddenly recalled Mr. Zhao's remarks just now.

  She raised her head in surprise, and looked at Zhao Guoyang—as if she just heard the chairman say that he is not going to use "Shagang Group" for marine steel and ship steel?

Zhao Guoyang naturally also noticed the look of surprise on Zhang Yufang's face, he smiled indifferently and said: "Mr. It is not allowed to use 'Shagang Group'."

  Hearing Zhao Guoyang repeat it again, the shock on Zhang Yufang's face became even more shocking.

  Zhao Guoyang didn't seem to notice her face, just sighed, shook his head and said: "I actually feel bad for making such a decision."

"There is no way, Shen Ke of the 'Shagang Group' is not a day or two. Although in the early stage of reform and opening up, Chairman Shen seized the opportunity with his own courage and helped the company get on the horse. However, the internal affairs of the company The conflict has never been resolved.”

   "With the development of iron and steel in various places in recent years, the disadvantages of private enterprises have become more and more obvious. Whether it is management level or operation quality, private iron and steel enterprises are far from state-owned enterprises."

   "It's like the 'Ukrainian production line' introduced by the 'Shagang Group' last year. It is absolutely impossible to put it on a state-owned enterprise..."

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's narration, Zhang Yufang repeatedly nodded in agreement.

  However, after regaining consciousness, this manager Zhang is full of doubts.

Looking at Mr. Zhao who was sighing and sighing, she blinked and asked: "Mr. Zhao, since we are not going to put the two series of special steels, marine steel and ship steel, in the production of 'Shagang Group', there must be A production place is right? Could it be that you want to put it in the 'Baosteel Group' in our SJ city?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang just grinned: "Of course it's not 'Baosteel Group'. Speaking of which, although 'Baosteel' is slightly stronger than 'Shagang Group', it is also limited."

   "If it's really in 'Baosteel', we might as well inject part of the capital into 'Shagang Group' and buy a production line ourselves!"

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Zhang Yufang couldn't help laughing.

   Indeed, I really want to go wrong.

  The previous situation of the "Baosteel Group" was also very unsatisfactory. It was only in this year that with the support of the SJ city government, it regained its vitality.

  If it is true that the special steel materials she needs will be produced by "Baosteel Group", Zhang Yufang herself will not be confident enough.

  Of course, she would definitely not mention this kind of thing in front of Zhao Guoyang, she just murmured in her heart.

  However, Zhang Yufang soon became suspicious again.

She turned her head sideways, looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Mr. Zhao, I really can't figure out what you think. If you don't put it in 'Shagang' or 'Baosteel', then our two series of steel raw materials , where did it come from?"

When Zhao Guoyang heard the words, he smiled inscrutablely and said, "I already have a rough plan for this matter, and I have asked someone to help me find out the situation. In less than a month, there should be a reply. come over."

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's swearing words, Zhang Yufang couldn't help being curious.

  Noticing how her heart was scratching like a cat, Zhao Guoyang thought it would be better to reveal some information to this capable subordinate.

  He chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence. When I went to Monaco to participate in the yacht exhibition, I happened to talk to Ms. Jin Xiuzhu about the steel used in ships on the plane."

   "After I got to know it, I found out that the steel materials used by their 'Daewoo Group' have been purchased from the 'Han Bao Steel Company' in South Korea."

   "According to what I know personally, this 'Han Bao Iron and Steel Company' is a poorly managed company that is on the verge of bankruptcy..."

  When Zhao Guoyang talked about this, Zhang Yufang suddenly realized.

She squinted her eyes and nodded, "I understand Mr. Zhao's meaning. Did you appoint Ms. Jin Xiuzhu to go back to China to help you inquire about the news? You are going to take advantage of this 'Hanbao Iron and Steel Company' when it is in desperation, and pay for it in one fell swoop. Did it buy it?"

  After hearing Zhang Yufang's guess, Zhao Guoyang snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, that's what I thought."

  Zhao Guoyang stretched out his finger and gestured: "Mr. Zhang, according to our half-year settlement, the current balance on the 'Xingtai International' account exceeds 300 million US dollars, right?"

  Hearing Chairman Zhao asked about key data, Zhang Yufang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly opened her notebook to check.

After a while, she got the answer she thought of, and said in a hurry: "Yes, Mr. Zhao. According to the report sent by the financial side, in the first half of the year, the account balance of our 'Xingtai International' headquarters is Three hundred and eleven million yuan."

   "In addition, because the European branch has sold a lot of lifting equipment, there is also a lot of available funds in the account, almost 30 million US dollars..."

   Zhang Yufang wanted to continue after finishing these two statistics, but Zhao Guoyang stopped her with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, there is no need to talk about the situation in the Latin American branch. Suzanne has already called me and reported to me before. Although our 'Xingtai International' has the largest sales in Latin America, because of the acquisition The new mine, she has embezzled all the money in the account now."

   Not long ago, in order to handle financial matters more flexibly and conveniently, he asked Suzanne to concurrently serve as the general manager of the Latin American branch of "Xingtai International".

  Zhao Guoyang himself is the largest shareholder of "Sunmoonstar Trading Company", and also Suzanne's de facto big boss.

   In this way, Suzanne naturally has full authority to use all the funds of the two companies in Latin America.

  Recently, several Latin American countries have discovered considerable reserves of mineral deposits. After consulting Zhao Guoyang, Susanna emptied all the money of "Xingtai International Latin American Branch" and went to buy mines.

  Although this transaction must be very cost-effective, the consumption of funds is really not a small amount.

   "Xingtai International Latin America Branch" itself has accumulated more than 100 million US dollars in funds in the past two years, and it was swept away by Susanna.

  At this time, after hearing Zhang Yufang report on the company's internal financial situation, Zhao Guoyang remembered this matter.

   Of course, Zhang Yufang is also aware of the situation of the Latin American branch.

  After listening to Chairman Zhao's order, she didn't say anything more about the city.

  Zhao Guoyang sighed twice, and then said: "There are 300 million US dollars, which is more than enough."

"I did some research before, and the market capitalization of this 'Hanbao Iron and Steel Company' was only about 200 million U.S. dollars at its peak. Now that it is in decline, it is doubtful whether it can be sold for half the price. How can I use it?" Got three hundred million dollars?"

  With Zhao Guoyang's comfort, Zhang Yufang completely let go of her worries.

  She nodded slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Since Mr. Zhao has already planned everything, there is no problem. This fund is stored in the company's account. You can use it at any time as long as you sign it!"

   Zhao Guoyang nodded with a "hmm", and said: "Don't be in a hurry for now, wait for the news from Jin Xiuzhu. Just right, during this time, our research institute can continue to expand its achievements."

   "Maybe, when the good news from Jin Xiuzhu comes, there may be several series of special steel products from our research institute that have been decoded!"

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's confident words, Zhang Yufang smiled and nodded in agreement.

  The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Guoyang was going to ask Zhang Yufang to call everyone to the cafeteria for dinner.

  After the headquarters in Pudong New Area was completed, Zhao Guoyang immediately put the matter of accommodation on the agenda.

  After a year of construction, both the staff dormitory and the staff canteen have been built.

   Among them, the staff canteen of "Xingtai International" has six floors up and down, enough to accommodate two thousand people to eat at the same time.

  The reason why Zhao Guoyang made the cafeteria so large was because he thought that the company would have more and more employees in the future, and the cafeteria would be bigger so that it would always be useful in the future;

  One more thing, with the rapid development of SJ City as a whole, more and more people will come to SJ City to work. The "war for talent" among various enterprises will soon start.

  How can you be invincible in the "robbery war"? Food culture is undoubtedly the most effective way.

  Finally, with the further development of Pudong New Area, its own "SMS Company" and "Rongguang Co., Ltd." may move here in the future.

   At that time, if there is a super large canteen, it will be enough to cover the dining problems of the employees of these two companies.

   Calculated in this way, it is definitely a success in one fell swoop.

   It is precisely based on this idea that Zhao Guoyang has already distributed dining cards to several companies under his umbrella.

  As long as you are an employee of your own company, you can eat in the canteen of "Xingtai International" with your meal card.

  Such a move has also greatly increased the employees' sense of identity with the company.

   Zhao Guoyang had just stood up and was about to give Zhang Yufang an order, when his eldest brother beeped.

  Zhao Guoyang made an apologetic gesture to Zhang Yufang, and picked up the big brother from his waist.

  After the call was connected, the resonant voice of Zhu Youbang, Deputy Minister of the General Armament Department came from inside.

   "Junior Brother Guoyang, is he Junior Brother Guoyang?" Zhu Youbang asked carelessly.

   "It's me, it's me! Minister Zhu, hello!" Zhao Guoyang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly replied.

  After confirming the identity of Zhao Guoyang, this Minister Zhu came to his spirits: "Junior Guoyang, I just called you to ask about the progress of our batch of cars?"
