"Oh? Take this seriously?"

Sato couldn't help but take the conversation and asked. Tanaka and Yukio Toyota were also staring at each other. How could they not know that Huaguo could actually produce steel plates suitable for their products?

To be honest, although they are engaged in automobiles and not steel smelting, they can't understand what the situation is in China's steel smelting industry.

In fact, when it comes to the smelting technology of China's steel, it is from Japan. It was in the 1980s that the short leader of China went to Japan for a walk. At that time, it was the best time for China's relations with Japan.

At that time, Japan had put forward a lot of technology to support China, including steel smelting. The earliest Chinese steel smelting technology was learned from the Russians. However, they have not made any progress in their own way for decades and have always been a extensive smelting model, so there is no mention of the smelting of special steels at all. Even the most basic steel smelting is in a state of high energy consumption and low output.

At that time, the Japanese New Japan Railway was still supporting their smelting technology of Urahai Steel Company, but the Japanese also had ill-intentions in this technical support.

The steel smelting technology they provide to China cannot be said to be bad, but the requirements for steelmaking furnaces appear very high. In this way, this steelmaking furnace can only smelve very high-quality iron ore. For the low-grade iron ore produced by China itself, that kind of steelmaking furnace is completely incompatible.

They have already planned to do it. For a big country like China, if they develop in the future, they will definitely import iron ore on a large scale around the world in the future.

Considering their geographical location, the most cost-effective place to import iron ore for them is Australia, so as early as that time, the Japanese began to make arrangements and acquire iron ore companies in Australia.

And their calculations also ensured that they had gained enough benefits after more than 20 years.

Of course that's all a story. When it comes to steel smelting technology, Tanaka Mitsuto and Toyota Yukio are very clear. They were the first Japanese car companies to enter China, so many of their raw materials are purchased from China. So, they are very clear about the level of steel smelting technology in China.

They can guess at the high-end ones just need to estimate it. The Chinese have no foundation or development in this regard. More than 20 years have passed since the introduction of technology from Japan.

In fact, with their ability, they can completely improve their steel smelting technology to a higher level, or even several levels. However, they themselves seem to have no interest in scientific research.

Even so far, they can only smel the lowest-level building profiles on a large scale and the most common rough steel. With such scientific research efforts, you can still expect them to develop any good profiles.

So as early as when China invested and built a factory, after they inspected the general situation of China's steel companies, they no longer had any hope for China's steel companies.

Take the ordinary steel plate that is most commonly used in cars for example. Such steel plates look very simple to produce, but in fact they are not that true at all.

First of all, what you need to do for such steel plates is corrosion resistance. After all, although the outer layer of the body steel plate is painted, it is often exposed to wind and rain, so even if painted, it is very easy to rust.

Therefore, in order to prevent the steel plates from rusting, the steel plates must be galvanized. Therefore, the most common steel plates used in general automobiles are galvanized steel plates.

The better Lingxin car companies will use double-sided galvanized steel plates, while those with a more unethical ones will simply use single-sided galvanized steel plates.

Moreover, for a sheet like yours, it must have considerable tensile resistance and strong yield tests. In this regard, the sheets produced by steel companies in China are not as good as the standard.

Especially in terms of yield resistance, this means the strength of your steel plate. In this regard, the steel plates produced in China perform very poorly. The reason is that they are not up to standard in heat treatment.

Because after the steel plate is processed and formed, there will be a heat treatment process, but because the process is long and the process is very complicated, and some special processing methods are required, the cost will increase.

Therefore, many Chinese steel companies are not willing to work hard on this, which has led to their technology not being improved and they cannot produce the kind of sheets needed by Japanese auto dealers.

But now the guy opposite said that China has an enterprise that can produce steel plates suitable for their needs. This... Isn't this a ghost?

You know, in order to recruit suitable suppliers, they visited most of China and searched almost all the large steel enterprises in China, but they couldn't find suitable enterprises. Now they actually said there is.

Isn't this a joke? You should know that all the powerful steel companies in China have gone to Pugang, Wuhan Iron and Angang. They have visited them, but they have not found qualified steel. How did they know that there will be suitable steel smelting companies in China?

"Li Sang, aren't you kidding us?"

Sato asked again skeptically, while Li Zheng on the opposite side laughed. This was a private item, and it was actually the boss's instructions before.

Li Yifan thought at the time that the Japanese would have to use such steel plates from domestic steel mills. Instead of using such unqualified products, it would be better to use qualified products produced by themselves.

Although the cost is a bit expensive, at least it can ensure safety for more people who use Japanese cars, and by the way, it will also help their Bincheng Special Metal Smelting Company find another business.

"How could it be? Actually, this was also an accidental opportunity. We discovered it. At that time, we went to the North Province for an interview. There was a local automobile company that used steel plates very well. We asked by the way. We told us that in Bincheng, North Province, there is a special metal smelting company. This is a newly established company. It is not large in scale, but it is very good at special metal smelting. The special profiles, boards and quality they produce are very reliable. We later verified that where they can produce special profiles and boards that fully meet your Japanese car standards."

At this time, Li Zheng was of course responsible for advertising his boss. When Sato and the others heard this, their eyes lit up.

Indeed, as the head of an automobile company, they have no choice but to use low-quality steel before. Everyone who runs a business knows that reputation is important, and who doesn’t want their product quality to be reliable and not criticized.

No one knows better how unreliable the Japanese cars they made in China are. To be honest, if they can have qualified steel and good steel plates, who would be willing to use those bad plates?

Although you can save a little cost, the key is that the materials you use will seriously affect your product and reputation on the market.

The safety of Japanese products nowadays has a very problematic reputation on the market. They are also doing improvements. It’s easy to say about electronic configuration, but it’s just added to it at that time, but this requires the use of relatively high-end profiles and boards, which has always caused them a headache.

After all, such boards are not high-tech products abroad and can only be classified as ordinary products. However, in China, this is a high-end product and they can't buy it even if they want to.

If imported, the cost is too expensive, so they can only settle for the second best, using low-grade profiles and boards.

Now Li Zheng told them that he was confident that he had such a steel enterprise in China that could produce plates and profiles that meet their production standards, and they became interested in it all at once.

"Is this really the case? That's great. Li Sang wait a moment. Can you help us leave the contact information of that factory for us? We plan to inspect it. If it is really as you said, if they really have such qualified boards and profiles, we can consider where to purchase goods directly from them. In this way, our new products will also have better security protection in the future, so that we can be worthy of the trust of the majority of Chinese consumers."

Mitsuto Tanaka continued on the side, and although Toyota Yukio didn't speak, she also showed a very interested look on her face.

Li Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, no problem, you can rest assured that this is true. After a while, I will leave their contact information for you. You will make an appointment to go to inspect it. I have absolutely no lies. Don't worry about this, you will definitely not let you go in vain."
