Wealth

Vol 5 Chapter 34: Affordable price

This kid is very cunning, very cunning! Such a thought flashed through Iwasaki's heart.

No wonder Fan Wubing was able to create such a huge amount of wealth as such a young man, he was indeed a young genius. Iwasaki Jun became a bit clear now. Fan Wubing may not be the kind of person who relies on the background behind him to make things happen on the surface. If he looks at him from this perspective, he is afraid that it will seriously affect his huge plan. of.

Reasonable prices are nothing more than referring to the current international rare earth mineral prices, but if that is the case, Japan, which is completely dependent on imports, cannot afford such a price. Moreover, after China suddenly closed the door to rare earth mineral exports, rare earths on the international market The price is about to move, and countless speculators have poured in. Although some people are pressing down, it will not last long. It is conceivable that once the rare earth price in the international market suddenly rises, Mitsubishi wants to obtain the possibility of cheap rare earth minerals from China. It's even more trivial.

But how could Fan Wubing fail to see this? Toshi Iwasaki suddenly felt a very headache. He has never encountered such a complicated and difficult situation. If the rare earth incident is not handled well this time, the Mitsubishi chaebol will be hit very hard.

How can we persuade Fan Wuyi to obtain rare earth resources at acceptable prices? Toshi Iwasaki patted his head and looked at Fan Wuyao and said, "Fan Sang, the sudden increase in rare earth prices is a heavy blow to the entire rare earth trading market, and it is easy to cause some unmature variables. I hope you can take it seriously. Consider this matter carefully and make a decision acceptable to both of us."

In fact, Toshi Iwasaki really felt troubled this time. Japan is a country with a shortage of resources. The citizens have a very strong sense of crisis. Japan has implemented a reserve system for all important materials. The rare minerals strategic reserve system it currently implements was introduced in 1983. The reserve targets are seven rare metals including nickel, chromium, tungsten, cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium, and manganese.

Due to the needs of the exhibition in recent years, they have recently added platinum, indium and rare earth resources as strategic reserves, all of which are urgently needed by Japan's top automotive, electronics, and information industries. Platinum is used in the manufacture of automobile exhaust emission purification devices and fuel cells, and indium is used in LCD panels of LCD TVs. Rare earths are indispensable materials for hybrid vehicles.

In the international competition of these industries, Japanese companies are in an advantageous position. Once the supply of resources is interrupted, it will severely hit Japan's economy and national security.

Toshishi Iwasaki’s Mitsubishi chaebol would be even more fatal, for example, his Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was involved in a joint missile defense project with the United States. A large amount of indium is needed to make a highly sensitive seeker, and they are actively seeking to import and produce the US-made F series stealth fighter long-range detection radars and stealth cockpit covers that require indium as a raw material.

The current rare metal reserve system in Japan is divided into two types: national reserve and private reserve.

National reserves are to ensure long-term supply and to deal with possible emergencies, while private reserves are necessary supplements to prevent short-term supply problems. The reserve target for these two types of reserves is domestic consumption for 60 days, of which national reserves account for 42 days and private reserves account for 18 days.

Large amounts of rare metal reserves require huge amounts of capital. to this end. Japan has established a special reserve fund in a variety of ways. The state budget has been spent about 60 billion yen for the import of rare metals. The Japanese government also encourages domestic companies to invest in mineral resources overseas on a large scale. When Japanese companies start mining overseas and obtain loans from the central bank and the Export-Import Bank of their country. The Metal Mining Business Group came forward as the guarantor. Only four-thousandths of a guarantee fee is charged.

also. Japan has used the name of importing scrap metal in recent years. Bought from Eastern European countries to return the wasteland Russian MiG aircraft. The main purpose is to extract rare metal materials such as titanium, indium, iridium, zirconium, cesium, lithium, and tungsten.

And in China. Indium metal is almost used as scrap to sell land. After I saw it, Jun Yanqi felt anxious. This kind of stuff is made into metal caulking materials casually. It's just a violent thing! If this is to get to Japan. How much profit can be exchanged? !

As for the price of rare earth land, it is surprisingly low. Yan Qijun has been contacting Chinese rare earth production companies recently. Want to hoard rare earths and rare metals on a large scale. With the power of the Mitsubishi family. Realize the strategic resource reserve concept of the Japanese government. Unexpectedly, Fan Wuyi pushed in with a bar. Broke his good deeds.

At this time, he wanted to get a bargain from Fan Wuyi's hand. Obviously it is unrealistic. There is only second place. I hope Fan Wubing will not bargain too much.

Fan Wubing smiled. What is the situation of the Japanese now? He is very clear. There will be no rare earth exports in another half month. The relevant high-tech industries should panic.

But it is not his goal to intimidate Japan. If this matter is too big, it will eventually be resolved by the dialogue between the governments. This is not Fan Wuyao’s original intention. It is necessary to win full profits, but You must not go too far, otherwise the consequences will not be borne by the enterprise.

"The price of indium metal is not negotiable, and the price of rare earths can be temporarily concessioned. This year's land shipments will be set at a price. The transaction will be based on 60% of the international market price. As for next year's shipments. Let's talk about it again." Fan Wubing threw out his price tag.

When Yan Qijun heard this, his face turned green. Although Fan Wubing had discounted the price on the international market, the price was still three hundred times higher than the previous price. Tons of rare earths can only be purchased at more than three kilograms at this time. What is this concept? !

As for the price of indium metal, it has also increased by thousands of times. Although the demand for this thing is not very large, the key point is that it will not work without it! This is more terrible than Rare Earth!

"This price is beyond our reach. It is too far from the previous price. I think Fan Sang, you are not sincere." Yan Qijun naturally couldn't accept such a condition, gritted his teeth and said to Fan Wuyi.

Fan Wubing shrugged and said, "Then I can do nothing. This is my bottom line. If you can't accept it, we have to negotiate with the Koreans. They can still grit their teeth and accept such conditions. Just me. In other words, Koreans are more kind than Japanese."

"Korean?!" Yan Qijun suddenly became a little angry, "What do those Korean sticks know?! As long as it is what we Japanese want to do, they are always willing to step in. They are a group of troublemakers! If Fan Sang decides to trade with them, you will feel that they are just speaking nicely, without any professional ethics! It is totally unlike us Japanese who strictly abide by their promises!"

The Liangzi between the Japanese and the Koreans was not formed in a day. After 50 years of colonial rule, the hatred between the two parties is very deep, especially when the two countries are separated by a sea. It’s no less. The Americans were suppressing it before. Now the Americans’ strategic focus has begun to shift to the Middle East. China and South Korea have established diplomatic relations. The Koreans feel that they should obtain a broader space for activities from Northeast Asia. The problem of the Korean conflict has become more prominent than before.

Fan Wuyi coldly mentioned the Koreans, which is exactly what irritated Yan Qijun.

Because according to Yan Qijun’s understanding, Koreans are also planning for strategic resource reserves. Previously, there was no diplomatic relationship with China, and many things were inconvenient. Now that diplomatic relations have been established, there will naturally be various means to display them. The Samsung Group, which he already knows, has the intention to purchase large quantities of rare earth resources and rare metal resources from China.

When Fan Wubing said the matter, Yan Qijun didn't think that Fan Wubing was just talking about it, but that Fan Wubing had already mastered enough market information, and he was just waiting to sell it.

However, if the Koreans are allowed to take the lead, not only will they suffer huge economic losses, but they will also be like the glory of the Iwaki family in terms of face. How can the outstanding people of the Yamato nation be defeated by the Korean stick? This is absolutely not allowed!

At least for now, Yan Qijun is certain that it is impossible to continue to obtain cheap rare earth resources and rare metal resources from China. It is difficult to say what will happen in the future, but if we do not sign an alliance with Fan Wuyao now. The current predicament of the Mitsubishi chaebol could not be overcome, let alone the need to clamp down on the Samsung Group's exhibition, and the Korean sticks were different from each other. Therefore, Fan Wuyi's request could only be agreed.

Yan Qijun calculated the demand for the various materials that can be purchased at present, and then think about the high price that is afraid of people~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I almost feel vomiting blood in my heart, but Fan Wuyi comforted him. Said, “Being a man can’t be too greedy. You have to think that in the past you have taken a huge advantage. Even now, compared with the high rare earth prices in the international market, you still have 40% of the price. Discount, you can't be too greedy!"

"Okay, it's settled! But my condition is that this year's supply is ours, and I absolutely cannot sell it to those Korean sticks!" Iwaki Jun finally made a decision, but also proposed his own Require.

Fan Wubing licked his lips and said, "Jun Yanqi's request is really not open-minded. However, as my first major customer to enter the rare earth market, you can enjoy some preferential conditions, so I can meet your request. I promise that Koreans will never take even one kilogram of rare earths from my hands!"

"I hope Fan Sang can keep his promise." Yan Qijun's face was very bad, but he said with a strong spirit, "Let's talk about the supply and price of this year in detail. We need to sign a formal contract. "

"As you wish." Fan Wubing nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face.
