Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Looking at the three people with prominent family backgrounds, Bao Zixuan knew that these people were, to put it bluntly, German aristocrats. Although there is no such name now, everyone should think so.

There is now a lot of cooperation between Heiyun Group and Rheinmetall. The Knight XV is part of it and many other auto parts are also purchased from Rheinmetall. Therefore, Oliver Lehard attaches great importance to Bao Zixuan's arrival. After all, this is a cooperative project; it is definitely not a small thing to get the boss of Heiyun to come forward, otherwise Bao Zixuan would not come in person.

Bao Zixuan met three German industrial giants in a hotel next to the Rhine River. This was the first time he met the descendants of these legendary families who appeared in history books. Adhering to the low-key character of the Germans, these people rarely appear in the public eye, and even in the era of highly developed information in later generations, reports about them are rarely seen.

These old families in Germany can be said to be very low-key, which has a lot to do with their losses after the world war. After all, if it hadn't been for the rise of the Soviet Union, these people might have been blamed. They were also a family that had committed crimes during the war.

Oliver Lehard smiled and said to Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Bao! Welcome to Germany. Let me introduce you."

After speaking, he pointed to a tall man next to him and said, "This is Rehagel Thyssen, the current president of Thyssen Industries."

Then he pointed to a slightly shorter man and said: "This is Andert Krupp, chairman of the Krupp Foundation."

After Bao Zixuan shook hands with the two of them, the four of them sat on the sofa and started chatting. There are currently only four people in this room, and the others are waiting for news in the next room, including the second son of the Huo family.

Oliver Lehard said: "Bao, you asked me to invite people here to say that there is a big business to discuss. They are not here to invite us to drink coffee, are they?"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course not. I have a mining company that wants to build a steel smelting plant in Asia. Germany's industrial system is very developed, and its steel smelting industry is the best in the world. And your three companies are the leaders in this industry. leader, so I came here to discuss it with you and see if we can have a chance to cooperate."

At this time, the other two people looked at Rehagel-Thyssen. After all, Thyssen Industries is the most authoritative company in steel. And Rehagel Thyssen is a steel major, so he is quite authoritative in this regard.

Rehagel-Thyssen, who originally didn't want to be the first to speak, knew he couldn't avoid it, so he had to say: "Mr. Bao, where in Asia are you planning to build a steel plant and how big will it be?"

Bao Zixuan: "It is planned to be built in the deep sea of ​​China, and the location has been selected. As for the scale, the annual output must reach more than 10 million tons, and there must be a special steel production line."

The three of them were worried when they heard about the scale of construction in this place. No wonder we let 3 families come together! This scale cannot be built in a short time, and the construction of such a large factory in China will definitely be subject to certain restrictions. The most important thing is to have a special steel production line. This is a very tricky thing and cannot be solved alone. Not to mention making money, even the factory may not be able to be saved.

Rehagel-Thyssen: "Mr. Bao is indeed generous, but it requires a lot of funds, and we have to bear a lot of political risks. If the profit is too small, Thyssen will not be interested in this project."

Bao Zixuan: "Everyone, I think this is something that is beneficial to all of us. Your three companies have a lot of idle steel smelting equipment. As long as you renovate it, it can be used as new. Germany's industrial quality has always been There will be no suspicion.”

Germany built many steel production companies in the early days of the Cold War in order to be able to supply the needs of the NATO military as soon as possible. However, it was later discovered that if the Soviets attacked, the German garrison would not be able to resist at all, and many similar companies were built in other areas. These equipment were only completed in the past ten years, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality.

Andert-Krupp: "We have built many factories. Just because we don't use them now doesn't mean we won't use them in the future."

Bao Zixuan: "When can it be used? In 10 years, 20 years or 50 years. It is estimated that the equipment has been eliminated long ago. Selling it to me now is definitely the best choice. And I am not paying for it. I will use what you need most. How about an exchange of things! If you’re not satisfied I can pay you in cash right away.”

When they heard that they could exchange what they needed, the three of them dismissed it. After all, they didn't think this young man could come up with something that would make them excited, but it didn't hurt to take a look.

Only Oliver Lehard has the best relationship with Bao Zixuan here, so he said: "Bao, there is something we are interested in, I would like to see it, but don't let us down, there is really no way to win." Talked."

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "You are all experts, how dare I show off in front of you!"

After saying that, he took out the report that he had prepared and saw that it was just a few pieces of white paper. At first, a few people didn't pay much attention to it. But when they saw the content, everyone’s expressions were wonderful.

What Bao Zixuan took was the rare earth test report issued by a professor at MIT, which contained detailed data and quality analysis.

Rehagel-Thyssen said excitedly: "You must have synthesized this! How can there be such a high content of rare earth resources in nature? I can't believe it."

Bao Zixuan: "There are detailed data on it, and there are also the signatures of three professors from MIT. Not only these, I also brought a ton of rare earth samples. You can test them in your own laboratory. Good things are not afraid of any inspection." "

"German industry has always been popular among the public because the quality of basic materials is better than that of other countries. Now if rare earth metals are added to it, only God knows what kind of equipment can be produced. It can be said that I have the best rare earth resources on earth at present. On the other hand, it is not impossible if I find other companies that are even slightly worse than Germany's to cooperate with. At that time, several companies will face competition, and my foundation is very weak, at least in terms of steel. Even the use of rare earth resources cannot keep up with German quality, but This is not necessarily true for Japan and other European countries.”

Oliver Lehard: "Bao, we are friends. You must buy me some of these rare earths. If we add rare metals to our new tank project, the combat effectiveness will definitely rise to more than one level. This is the raw material I have been dreaming of looking for." "

In fact, I don’t blame Oliver Lehard, after all, these reports are too shocking. Everything about the Leopard 2 tank has now been finalized. The only shortcoming is the strength of the metal. This was not improved until the large-scale application of rare earths. How could Oliver Lehard not be excited to see such excellent materials now?

Watching Oliver Lehard reveal all his cards made Rehagel Thyssen and Andert Krupp very depressed. This is simply a pig teammate. He thinks before he speaks. Isn’t he just waiting to be slaughtered?

But now that the deal is done, we can only wait for the other party to play their cards first and see what the other party's appetite says.

Bao Zixuan said: "Oliver, it's up to you whether you can get rare earth resources. As long as Rheinmetall can provide me with equipment for building a steel enterprise, then I can exchange rare earths for these equipment. And after you use them up, I will give you a 9.5% discount on the market price. To supply you with goods, this agreement will remain in effect until resources are exhausted.”

Oliver Lehard wanted to agree, but he saw the look in the other two's eyes that they wanted to kill someone. He immediately reacted and said: "Bao, I need to confirm this issue again. Didn't you bring a ton of rare earths? I think it should be fine if I ask an engineer to test it!"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I've packed it and it's outside. You can take it away for testing, but I can only give you 3 days. If we don't reach an agreement, I will go to Luxembourg."
