As the operator of the largest local catering group in Hong Kong, Wujia restaurants can be said to be all over the entire Hong Kong. How could there be no Wu family shop in such a lively place. Fortunately, there are often Arabs coming to the Horse Club, and there is still food suitable for Prince Sultan. Otherwise, it is really a hassle, which is why many people are not very comfortable with receiving Middle Eastern customers. Diet alone is a hassle, and the difference in living habits is even greater.
At noon, because of the presence of Prince Sultan, everyone did not drink. But during the period, the charter king wanted to chat with Bao Zixuan alone, intentionally or not, it seemed that something was negotiated.
Both the Wu family brothers and Prince Sultan could see this. Shuang Bao wants to communicate alone, although it is only the meaning of the charter king at present; the Wu family brothers and Prince Sultan must have the beauty of adults. So after lunch, Prince Sultan proposed to go back to the hotel to rest. As for the Wu family brothers, they were originally in their family's territory, and they were only touring the shop.
The charter king said with a smile: "Baosheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time, is it convenient to chat alone!"
Although there is no friendship with the other party, but after all, they are all powerful people in Xiangjiang; if you are invited to chat, it is not easy to refuse.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Since the charter king is interested, it just so happens that I have some time."
Two people came to a private room of the Jockey Club, and they were obviously more familiar with the charter king here, so Bao Zixuan didn't care about that.
After sitting down, the charter king said with a smile, "Bao Sheng, the Bao family wants to sell some rare earth company shares. I wonder if your Excellency is interested."
When Bao Huodong Mining Company was split, Bao Yugang and Zheng Yutong won a mine. At that time, he did not hesitate to break up with Bao Zixuan, so he brought in American and British capital. Originally, it felt that it was very simple. The two of them could completely control a rare earth mine. But when you really enter the mining industry, you know that things are far from simple. The entry of American and British capital has often led to differences in company management, and the two simply do not understand the specific value of rare earths. I just know that this thing is valuable, and I don't know anything else.
Bao Zixuan can manage well because he knows the specific value of each rare earth, and he knows what kind of products are needed by customers. When it is the turn of the charter king and the shark gall to manage the same, the final customer is often not found. Moreover, American and British capital just want to buy rare earth back as a strategic reserve.
Therefore, it is often proposed to increase mining efforts on the board of directors, and it has never cared about the price issue. Because as long as rare earth resources are obtained, the loss of funds for investment is nothing at all.
It is still Mr. Bao who gave the charter king an idea to let Bao Zixuan take a stake in Baojia Rare Earth Company. It doesn't matter if the other party spends less or no money. As long as Bao Zixuan is on the board of directors of the company, then British and American capital will not be able to play any tricks. Professional matters still need professionals to deal with, unless Bao Jia completely withdraws from the rare earth mineral industry; otherwise, we must find a way to solve the current predicament.
However, the charter king is of course not reconciled to quitting. It's not just a matter of financial loss, but also a face problem.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Heiyun Group has no plans to cooperate with other companies. And I don't want to have anything to do with the Bao family and the Zheng family. It's good for everyone to meet for a tea and chat with each other."
"If Baosheng wants to sell the company as a whole one day, then there is some interest below, as for cooperation, forget it."
Hearing that Bao Zixuan did not give face at all, the charter king was a little unacceptable for a while. Actually wanting to buy it as a whole, this kid has no good intentions.
Rare earth mining companies can still make money now, but even if they don’t make money, there are a lot of people willing to take over. There is absolutely no need to sell it to this kid in front of you, that will only bring shame on yourself.
If it is easy to get angry, then the charter king business will not be so big. But I still feel a little uncomfortable, after all, for so many years, I have been rejected only a handful of times. It was the first time for Bao Zixuan to refuse without showing any affection.
The charter king said with a smile: "Don't Baosheng listen to my offer!"
"100 million Hong Kong dollars, 10% of Baojia Rare Earth Mining Company."
To be honest, this price is absolutely too low to be low, and it is dozens of times the profit if you just drop it. But Bao Zixuan didn't want to get involved, money could be earned anywhere, mainly because he didn't want to cooperate with Bao's family and Zheng's family. I have just refused outright and mercilessly. Now, as soon as you hear that the price quoted by others is so much cheaper than the market price, you want to take advantage of it, which is a matter of character.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It seems that Baosheng is sincere, but I am very sorry. This is not a price issue, although you can make money by buying it back. But money can be earned at any time. If you are not humble, you also need to pay attention to your mood when making money. ."
"I'm not interested, even if I make money, I won't do it, after all, I'm not waiting for rice to cook."
"I know that Baosheng's current difficulties are mainly due to the fact that the price of rare earths cannot rise, or even drop slightly. Moreover, they often fail to meet customer requirements and often do nothing."
"Industrial production, especially the production and research and development of high-end materials, is a highly specialized thing. Although rare earth minerals are good things, they must be sold to companies in need. In the eyes of ordinary people, they may be worthless. Even if Selling to middlemen, the price will not go up.”
"But selling to professional institutions and enterprises requires a detailed analysis and a comprehensive understanding of the composition of rare earth minerals.
"The main body of Baohuodong Mining Company was inherited by me, so all the professionals were already employees of Heiyun Group at this time. And they were also recruited by me, and it was normal to follow me. At that time, you also felt that some people were paid slightly higher; I didn't say it, but in private, they gave me eye drops a lot."
"It's not that you don't know some things, it's just that you don't want to talk about them. But don't think that others don't know about some small things; often the person you think you trust the most may also be the last person to betray you."
"If Baosheng wants to sell rare earths at a high price, recruit a professional analysis team. Don't worry about spending money. When you don't understand, some money must be spent. Baosheng has been in business for so many years, so I don't need to teach the truth. Every day, the rare earths mined are tested, even if it is tedious. Because it is related to hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, the price can only go up if you sell to the most needed customers.”
"Take a simple example, two different rare earths, which look similar in quality. But they are sold to two metal companies; one needs to make steel that is very ductile, and one needs to make steel that is very hard."
"At this time, it is necessary to analyze rare earths to see which product is suitable for that customer. On the surface, both rare earths can meet the customer's requirements; but through professional data analysis, let the customer feel that the product you choose for him is the most suitable for him. This is a profession, Bao Sheng should not be able to analyze the rare earth composition himself!"
"I know that Bao Sheng and Shaqiantong may look down on us engineers and technicians, thinking that as long as they have business acumen, they can definitely make money. And rare earth minerals themselves are not worried about sales, so there is no need for any technicians at all."
"But it is us technicians who are promoting social progress, and of course businessmen also play an active role in this process. But compared with great inventors, they are still worse. Perhaps in terms of wealth, science and engineering men are not as pure as pure men. Businessmen; but when it comes to the professional side, it may surprise people more.”
"I can only say so much. In fact, there is no need to tell you but everyone is Chinese, and I don't want China's rare earth minerals to be sold at a low price. It belongs to the wealth of all Chinese. I hope Baosheng It is possible to take part of the profits and develop the local economy. Otherwise, after the development of rare earth minerals, how will the local residents live.”
"You can't just focus on the present when doing business, but you should take a long-term perspective. Bao Sheng has been in business for so many years, and he must know this better than me."
After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, he did not stop, but left directly.
However, the charter king could not calm down for a long time. It turns out that there are so many unknown stories here. Maybe he is a good player in the shipping industry, but when it comes to industry, the gap with Bao Zixuan is not even a star. When you go back, you have to discuss it with Shaqdan. You must recruit a professional team, even if it costs a lot of money.
In fact, Bao Zixuan really didn't want to tell the truth, but when he thought of rare earth minerals being sold at such low prices. The heart is really unbearable, God is relatively fair to every country, the Middle East is not suitable for growing food, so they gave them oil and natural gas. Huaxia has very few oil reserves, but rare earth minerals are the largest reserves in the world.
In the future, entering the digital age, the application of rare earth minerals will be more extensive. If they are all sold out now, it will not be so easy to gain the right to speak in the future.
