rebirth of change

As soon as he heard that Nippon Steel could provide these two things, Matsuzaka Sara's smiling expression froze instantly, but after only a few seconds, he returned to normal.

As an industry insider, Matsuzaka Sara knows that Nippon Steel does not provide equipment for mining rare earth resources at all. Instead, they will use some rare earths to produce some special steel products.This time Nippon Steel Corporation was also affected, but they were not affected as much as other companies.

"We will try our best to help with this matter, but Mr. Ye knows that Nippon Steel is also a big company, and I can't guarantee success." Matsuzaka Sara softened her words and did not use affirmative words.

"Then thank you in advance. This is for the benefit of all of us. Get it early so that we can resume production earlier and expand the export volume of products." Ye Tangsen said with a pun, meaning very simple, that is me When you get these two things, you will get what you need, otherwise, this disguised sanction will continue indefinitely.

"Mr. Ye, no matter what the reason is, I still hope that your company can resume exporting products as soon as possible. At present, it is a critical period for your country to join the WTO. If there are trade frictions in this regard, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to your country's entry into the World Trade Organization. Family", Matsuoka Zhishige spoke again at this time, and it was also threatening.

"Whether to join the WTO, or when to join, is a matter for the government, and our company can't control it. If Mr. Songgang's trip is for this, then I suggest you go to the capital to discuss with our Minister of Economics and Trade," Songgang The words did not sound pleasant to the ear, and Ye Tangsen's words were even more harsh.

Knowing Songgang very well, Ye Tangsen didn't have any good feelings for him. This guy didn't come here to beg for help, but rather to show off his prestige.Ye Tangsen doesn't care so much, now it's like playing cards, he holds all the big cards in his hands, so he's not afraid.

China Future Metallurgical Group is not any other company. If it is another company, so many products cannot be sold, and they will definitely be in a hurry.But China Future Metallurgical Group is not the case. They don’t worry about it. China Future Metallurgical Group, which has sufficient funds, can store most of the excess rare earth products, and some of them can do refining and deep processing by themselves to meet the needs of emerging domestic customers.

From the first day of its establishment, China Future Metallurgical Group did not aim to make enough profits.

In market economics, Adam Smith put forward the theory of "an invisible hand". In specific commercial exchanges, there is also such a magical hand, that is, companies that often do not aim at making money. But always can obtain not small profit achievement.

Although the China Future Metallurgical Group does not make profit as its top priority, it has the original intention of integrating rare earth resources and protecting the country's important resources.But in this process, due to the way of raising prices, the profits have been increasing every year.Moreover, when the company was established, Ouyang Zhenhua and the others injected more than 400 billion RMB into it, so Ye Tangsen had money in his hands, so he didn't panic.

Matsuoka Zhizhong said three sentences, and Ye Tangsen gave him a hard time for all three sentences, which made him lose face at all.In addition, Ye Tangsen had finished talking with Matsuzaka Sara about what should be discussed, Matsuzaka Sara was a little absent-minded.As a result, there was not much new content in the subsequent conversation, and it was a bit dull. After a while, the host and guest separated, the Japanese personnel did not stay, and Ye Tangsen had no intention of inviting them to have a meal together.

After only staying in Nanzhou for one night, these Japanese left. Instead of returning to Japan from Mingzhu City, they went to the capital again.

This is what Matsuoka Chishige meant. He hit a wall with Ye Tangsen and was not welcomed, so he wanted to go to the relevant departments of the Chinese government in order to put pressure on the government based on the overall situation of bilateral economic and trade relations.However, Matsuoka Tomoshige did not go, but found an excuse to return to Japan.On the contrary, Oki Hikaru came to China after hastily explaining things about Australia. Their company had no rare earth resources for more than half a month. The downstream related manufacturers urged him all day long, so he had to let go. Australia's big business came to China to fight the fire.

In the capital, the Chinese government seemed to attach great importance to the arrival of the Japanese side. The Minister of Economics and Trade personally entertained Matsuoka Tomoshige and held talks with him.

He hadn't made any progress with Ye Tangsen, a key figure. In the capital, how could he get the results he needed from politicians.In terms of etiquette, the Chinese government attaches great importance to it, and also said that it will exert greater influence on the China Future Metallurgical Group, but in fact, these are empty words, and Matsuoka Zhishige is doomed to gain nothing from this trip.

Matsuoka Zhizhong went back to Tokyo in despair. He felt very uncomfortable. If he could make the decision, he would like to impose retaliatory measures on China.But these are not things that he can decide as a deputy minister, and if he does that, there may be a nasty trade war between the two countries.

At present, Japan's economy is very weak, and the decline in the story is relatively severe. If it develops into a trade war, then China will not feel well, and Japan's economy will also suffer.Besides, Japan will now put the burden of getting out of the economic downturn on China. They hope that China's huge market and cheap labor can help Japan's manufacturing industry get out of the predicament. At the same time, China also needs companies from Japan. Investment and technology transfer, with the consensus on these two needs, it is impossible for the top leaders of the two countries to intensify the conflict, and they will only maintain restraint.

On the other hand, the dawn of the problem has been thrown out.Matsuoka Zhishige did not bring back important results, but Matsuzaka Sara has already combined various forces to find a solution.He already knew the crux of the problem, so it would be much easier to deal with.

After returning to China, Matsuzaka Sara contacted Nippon Steel President Akiomimura on the phone immediately. He didn't talk about Ye Tangsen's needs at the beginning, but first asked what the gasifier and air separation equipment were for.

"Mr. Matsusaka, why did you ask this?" Akiomimura asked vigilantly.

"It's nothing. I heard someone mention it these two days. I don't know its function. You are an expert in this field, so I just inquired about it," Matsuzaka Sara said casually.

"Didn't you go to China? Why did you come back so soon? How is the progress?" Akiomimura did not answer Matsuzaka Sara's question first, but asked in reverse.

Nippon Steel Corporation's demand for rare earths is not that great, and Akiomimura did not go to China, but it does not mean that he does not care that at this time, their company also suffered some losses due to the impact of the Tokyo stock market.

"Some progress has been made, but it has not been completely resolved. Could it be convenient for you to tell me the performance of those two products?".

"Hehe, of course not. It is a newly developed equipment that we have not long ago. It is mainly used for multiple processing of coal imported from China in order to convert it into chemical products. One function is to pressurize, and the other is to use air as the The raw material is to turn the air into a liquid state through the method of deep freezing in the compression cycle, and then gradually separate it from the liquid air through rectification to produce inert gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon... That's it, it's actually very common, Other countries can also produce it, but ours is better and can meet the needs of large-scale industry, so Mr. Matsusaka also wants to enter this field, right?" If it is only about the function, it cannot be regarded as a secret, and naturally Akiomimura will not Conceal it, and finally tease it like an old friend.

"Oh, that's how it is. That's not our strong point. Of course, it's impossible to have a plan to enter that new field at the moment... But, don't you sell these two devices to the outside world?" If it is possible It can be bought in the market, and Ye Tangsen will not go to war so much, but Matsuzaka Sara still wants to ask in person.

"Indeed, this is our core technology. We don't plan to sell it before the new generation of technology comes out. Mr. Matsusaka, is it... What's the matter?" After Akiomimura answered affirmatively, he continued Asking tentatively, he felt that Matsuzaka Sara would not ask this for no reason.

"...This, let's be honest...I'm afraid you have to sell it to the outside world this time, at least two sets to the China Future Metallurgical Group..." Matsuzaka Sara hesitated After a while, I still told akiomimura the truth.

"Sell them two sets? That won't work. Once sold to them, they can reverse engineer the same thing. In that case, our competitive advantage will be lost, and, in the long run, we may lose the cheap coal in China. It can’t be used anymore, it’s absolutely impossible, and a company from their side offered to buy these two things before, but we rejected them.” Unsurprisingly, Akiomimura expressed his refusal in a firm tone.

Each enterprise has its own interests, and Nippon Steel also has its own considerations.

"However, if you don't sell these two types of equipment, they will continue to control the export of rare earths to us. This shortage of materials that is necessary for our industrial transformation will cause far-reaching damage. At present, Europe and the United States are making great strides to improve Energy saving and intelligentization of industrial products", Matsuzaka Sara explained the truth to akiomimura from a broad perspective.

"That has nothing to do with us. I only know that once they are allowed to master these two technologies, our losses will be huge. In the long run, at least hundreds of billions of yen. We can't bear such a situation. ".

This is the public saying that the public is right and the woman is saying that the woman is reasonable. For a while, Matsuzaka Sara couldn't convince Akiomimura.He can only think of other ways. This problem must be solved. It should be absolutely impossible to expect the China Future Metallurgical Group to give way, otherwise they would not have put up such a big battle.
