Chapter 23: Tu Kela turns into gold ingots

When Liu Minggang first communicated with the island people on the phone, it was twenty per ton. However, he did not say any currency units at that time. At this time, Qin Tao said the US dollar. Wang Mingyuan, who was sitting next to the governor of the Kawaguchi, was immediately annoyed: "Twenty yuan, RMB, not US dollars! Be careful, don't speak loudly! After finally coming to an island country, the big boss wants to buy you worthless blast furnace slag. Don't be too arrogant. Do you really think these things are valuable things?"

The exchange rate is not high now, and the RMB is 3.7659 to the US dollar, which also means that if the RMB is changed from US dollar, you will have to pay several times more funds.

Qin Tao glanced at Wang Mingyuan: "I'm asking Mr. Kawaguchi, don't interrupt if you have nothing to do with me."

Wang Mingyuan's role is to be a translator. Now, Qin Tao's fluent Japanese language does not need to be translated by Wang Mingyuan at all.

Since they are all speaking in Japanese, Liu Minggang didn’t know what these people were saying. However, by looking at Wang Mingyuan’s attitude, you can know that there must be something wrong with this translation. Maybe, like the Mingzhou Clothing Factory, they are setting up a set for themselves!

"Director Liu, can this person represent your factory?" Wang Mingyuan changed to Chinese and asked Liu Minggang.

"Yes, what he said means I said." Liu Minggang nodded.

"Hmph! Just wait and cry!"

"Okay." Kawaguchi Governor actually agreed.

In international trade, the US dollar was originally used. Now, since the other party has made a request for twenty dollars, that is not an exaggeration. Kawaguchi Ghost agreed.

Wang Mingyuan looked at the Kawaguchi Shishi in surprise. The price suddenly increased several times, but he could still agree? This behavior of raising prices on the ground is clearly a profiteer. Shouldn't Kawaguchi Shishishishishi turn around and leave?

Spend twenty dollars to buy a ton of blast furnace slag?

"But we think the price of twenty dollars is a bit too low." Qin Tao continued to speak: "It will cost at least two hundred dollars to truly meet their value."

Two hundred dollars!

This time it has increased tenfold!

"Hey, you're doing this too much. Your Excellency Kawaguchi came here to do business with you in person. This is how you respect you. Now, do you really think you are holding a gold ingot in your hand?" Wang Mingyuan couldn't help it anymore: "You can't get anything if you do this! Let the pile of blast furnace slag continue to rot outside your factory!"

After saying that, Wang Mingyuan looked at the Governor Kawaguchi again: "I'm very sorry, Kawaguchi, the people here do not have any sincerity. I will apologize to you on their behalf, we..."

"Apology? Why do you apologize on behalf of us? Have we done anything wrong?" Qin Tao said to Wang Mingyuan: "What we have in our hands is obviously gold ingots, so should we be considered a trash?"

After saying that, Qin Tao looked at the governor of Kawaguchi again: "Your Excellency Kawaguchi, am I wrong? Our blast furnace slag is worth 200 US dollars per ton."

"His Excellency Kawaguchi, let's go. There are many steel plants across the country, and there are blast furnace slags." Wang Mingyuan said.

Kawaguchi Tushi was still sitting there, his face still normal, but his fingers kept beating on the mottled tabletop.

Liu Minggang was a little nervous.

What are they talking about? Why is this Kawaguchi like this? Is this business going to be blown up? If it really doesn't work, it's easy to negotiate the price, and ten yuan per ton is fine...

"How do you know that these blast furnace slags are worth 200 US dollars per ton?" Kawaguchi Governor Shi asked Qin Tao, with confusion in his eyes.

"Because, there is a rare metal scandium inside." Qin Tao finally pointed it out.

"Nani? How did you know?" Kawaguchi Governor looked at Qin Tao in surprise.

"Of course we know that you plan to extract it and use it on your rockets. These blast furnace slags are very important to you, so two hundred dollars per ton is a relatively reasonable price. Kawaguchi, what do you think?"

"Okay, then it's only two hundred dollars a ton." Kawaguchi Ghost nodded.

Wang Mingyuan was completely stunned. The blast furnace slag that originally had 20 yuan per ton was actually worth 200 US dollars per ton. In this way, the total price was 2 million US dollars! This was the largest contract signed by him, a foreign affairs officer, with foreign guests!

If it is a large enterprise in Huating City, a contract of 2 million US dollars is nothing. A small place like Mingzhou, where some blast furnace slag that no one wants, can be sold at such a sky-high price? Also, what exactly is this scandium?

Wang Mingyuan's mind was full of doubts.

Qin Tao smiled on his face: "Old Kawaguchi, we also hope to use this money to order some steelmaking equipment from you."

The Kawaguchi Governor Shi's eyes lit up. In this way, he, the vendor, could make money again. It is most in his interests to make money from both ends.

"Of course, what do you want?"

"The steel plate hot rolling equipment is the same as Huating No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant." Qin Tao said.

After the national gates were opened, we saw the gap with the world, so it was a major way to improve the domestic industrial level through introduction. Huating No. 1 Steel Plant introduced a complete set of steelmaking equipment from the island country.

That was when the country came forward and used a large amount of foreign exchange reserves. Now, the Mingzhou Shipyard has not spent a penny, which is equivalent to using these used blast furnace slag to directly exchange the entire set of equipment.

In terms of price, Qin Tao has calculated it, which is just right.

"You just asked for a price of 200 US dollars per ton, just for this set of equipment, right?" asked Kawaguchi Governor Shi.

Qin Tao smiled but said nothing.

"Okay, we can agree."

"You can use a ship to transport the equipment directly to Mingzhou. While installing the equipment, we will send the blast furnace slag to you onto the ship. After the equipment is installed and debugged, it will run normally. All the blast furnace slags will be loaded onto the ship. How about this?" Qin Tao continued to propose.

This is to avoid the other party’s trouble. If something happens when installing the equipment, the remaining blast furnace slag will definitely not be loaded for them. If you want to ask for extra money, there is no way!

After all, the islanders are the smartest, and any kind of tricks can come out.

"Okay." Kawaguchi Ghost agreed.

The contract was drafted on the spot, with three copies in Japanese and Chinese. When Liu Minggang saw the contract in Chinese, he opened his eyes wide.

The price of 200 US dollars per ton is 2 million US dollars, and the full set of steel plate hot-rolled equipment is imported? That is from Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, the island country! Originally, they only planned to buy a set of second-hand equipment in China, but now, can they buy brand new equipment, or the same equipment as Huating No. 1 Steel Factory!

In the future, they can also make steel plates the same as Huating No. 1 Steel Plant!

Thinking of this, Liu Minggang looked at Qin Tao with gratitude.
