Chapter 944 Nippon Steel refused
As soon as he heard that these two things could be provided by Shinji Railway Company, Matsusaka Sara's smiling expression instantly frozen, but in just a few seconds, he returned to normal again.
As an industry insider, Matsuzaka Sara knew that Nippon Steel did not provide equipment for mining rare earth resources at all. Instead, they would use some rare earths to produce some special steel. Nippon Steel Company was also affected this time, but they were not as affected as other companies.
"We will try our best to help with this matter, but Mr. Ye knows that Shin-Nitrotron is also a big company, and I cannot guarantee that it will succeed." Matsusaka Sara's words softened a little, and there was no affirmative statement.
"Then I'll thank you first. This is for all of us. We can get it as soon as possible. We can resume production earlier and increase the export volume of products." Ye Tangsen said in a pun, and the meaning is very simple, that is, when will I get these two things, and you will get the goods you need when you need them, otherwise, this disguised sanctions will continue indefinitely.
"Mr. Ye, no matter what the reason is, I hope your company can resume product exports as soon as possible. At present, it is a critical period for your country to join the WTO. If there is a trade friction in this regard, it may be detrimental to your country to join the world trade family." Matsugang Zhichong spoke again at this time, and it is also somewhat threatening.
"Whether to join the WTO or when to join is the government's business, our company cannot control it. If Mr. Songgang's trip is for this, then I suggest you go to the capital to discuss with our Minister of Economic and Trade." Songgang's words sounded unpleasant, and Ye Tangsen's words were even more irritating.
Ye Tangsen has no favors for this Songgang Zhizhong. This guy is not here to ask for help, but he is coming to demonstrate with great power. Ye Tangsen doesn't care about that much. Now he is playing cards, and he is holding the big cards in his hands, so he is not afraid.
China Future Metallurgical Group is not another company. If it is another company, then so many products cannot be sold in a backlog, they will definitely be in a hurry. However, China Future Metallurgical Group is not the case. They are not worried that China Future Metallurgical Group with abundant funds can be stored mostly, and some of them can be refined and deep processing themselves to meet the needs of emerging domestic customers.
From the first day of its establishment, China Future Metallurgical Group has not aimed at making enough profits.
In market economics, Adam Smith proposed the theory of "an invisible hand". In specific business interactions, there is also such a magical hand, that is, companies that often do not aim at making money, but can always achieve considerable profits.
Although China Future Metallurgical Group did not make profits first, but instead took the integration of rare earth resources and protecting important national resources as its original intention, in this process, the profits increased every year due to the method of raising prices. Moreover, when the company was established, Ouyang Zhenhua and the others injected him more than 40 billion RMB of funds, so Ye Tangsen had money and was not panicked.
Matsugang Zhichong said three sentences, and Ye Tangshen made it very uncomfortable, which made him feel no face. In addition, Ye Tangshen had already finished talking with Matsusaka Sara. Matsusaka Sara was a little absent-minded, so there was not much fresh content in the subsequent conversation and a little bland. Not long after, the host and guest dispersed, the Japanese staff did not stay, and Ye Tangshen had no intention of asking them to have a meal together.
After staying in Nanzhou for only one night, the Japanese left. Instead of returning to Japan from Mingzhu City, they went to the capital.
This is what Songgang Zhizhong meant. After hitting a wall here, he was not welcomed. He wanted to find relevant departments of the Chinese government to put pressure on the government in an attempt to make some bilateral economic and trade relations. However, Songgang Zhizhong did not go there, but found an excuse to return to Japan. Instead, Damuguang hurriedly explained the things about Australia and came to China. 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 put down his big Australian business and come to China to put out the fire.
In the capital, the Chinese government attached great importance to the arrival of Japan on the surface. The Minister of Economics and Trade personally hosted Matsugang Shige and held talks with him.
He has not made any progress in the key figure Ye Tangsen, and in the capital, how could he get the results he needs 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 Metallurgical Group in the future. But in fact, these are empty words. Songgang Zhizhong was destined to have no gains from this trip.
Zhiji Matsugang returned to Tokyo in shame. He felt very uncomfortable. If he could make the decision, he would really want to impose retaliatory measures on China, but these were not something that he, a deputy minister, could decide. Moreover, if that happens, a bad trade war might arise between the two countries.
At present, Japan's economy is very weak, and the story is declining fiercely. If it develops into a trade war, then China will be uncomfortable and the Japanese economy will also make things worse. Besides, Japan will be under the burden of getting out of the economic downturn at this time. 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 corporate investment and technology transfer from Japan. With the consensus of these two needs, the top leaders of the two countries will not intensify the contradictions and will only maintain restraint.
On the other hand, the dawn of solving the problem has been thrown out, and Matsugang Matsugaki did not bring back important results, but Matsuzaka Sara is already looking for solutions in combination with the forces of all aspects. He already knows the problem's problem, so it is much easier to deal with.
After returning to China, Sara Matsusaka immediately contacted Akio Mimura, the president of Nikko Railway. He did not talk about what Ye Tangsen needed from the beginning, but asked what the gasifier and air separation equipment were used 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 area, so I'll ask for it," said Matsusaka Sara casually.
"Didn't you go to China? Why did you come back so soon? How is it going?" AkioMimura did not answer Matsusaka Sara's question first, but asked in turn.
The demand for rare earths of Nippon Railway is not that high, so AkioMimura did not go to China, but it does not mean that he does not care about this. Their company also suffered some losses due to the impact of the Tokyo stock market.
"After some progress, but it cannot be completely solved, is it not convenient for you to tell me the performance of those two products?"
"Haha, of course not. That is the equipment we have newly developed. It mainly treats coal imported from China for multiple treatments to convert it into chemical products. One effect is pressurization, and the other is to use air as raw material. The air is turned into liquid through compression cycle deep freezing. Then it is distilled to gradually separate and produce inert gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon from the liquid air. That's it. It's actually very ordinary. Other countries can produce it, but ours is better and can adapt to the needs of large-scale industrial projects. It's not that Mr. Matsusaka wants to enter this field, right?" If you only talk about functions, it can't be considered a secret. AkioMimura will naturally not hide it, and finally make fun of it like an old friend.
"Oh, so that's not our strength. Of course, it's impossible to enter that new field at present.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Indeed, this is our core technology. We don't plan to sell it before the newer generation of technology comes out. Mr. Matsusaka, is there anything wrong?" AkioMimura asked tentatively after answering affirmatively. He felt that Matsusaka Sara would not ask this for no reason.
",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Selling two sets to them, that's not OK. Once they are sold to them, they can reversely imitate the same thing. In that case, our competitive advantage will be lost. Moreover, in the long run, we may not be able to use the cheap coal in China. This is definitely not OK. Before, the companies on their side proposed to buy these two things, but we rejected them." Unsurprisingly, AkioMimura took a firm tone to express his rejection.
Each company has its own interest demands, and New Nippon Railway also has its own considerations.
"But if you don't sell these two equipment, they will continue to control the export of rare earths to us. This material shortage, which is very necessary for our industrial transformation, has far-reaching damage. At present, Europe and the United States are taking big steps to improve the energy conservation and intelligence of industrial products." Matsuzaka Sara reasoned AkioMimura from a big 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 cannot bear such a situation."
