Luke was not upset when he heard what Tang Xiaochuan said, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, don’t speak so absolute. As far as I know, the current global mining companies capable of mining ilmenite have imposed restrictions on exports. The aerospace material manufacturing company under your group is also a big demander for ilmenite. Although your country has the largest reserves of ilmenite, because of the reasons of mining technology and scale, plus there are other domestic needs, so This prevents your aviation material manufacturing company from obtaining enough raw materials, and you can only import them from abroad!"

"In fact, you have restricted the export share to you abroad. In fact, you announced that you will no longer import from abroad. I believe this is a strategy for you! The purpose is to bring down the international spot price of ilmenite, and at the same time, The outside world sends out a wrong signal that makes those domestic and foreign companies that need aviation materials think that your raw materials are insufficient and shipments may be reduced in the future, so they are ordering a lot of crazy!"

"According to our investigation, in the past two months, you have not only not reduced or imposed restrictions on the shipment of aviation materials, but also opened up supply. However, the raw materials you obtain are limited. Even if you have a lot of raw materials in stock, We think that these two months have passed, and your raw materials are almost consumed. If you don’t import ilmenite ore from abroad, you will probably only be able to purchase from China in the future, and a little bit of ore is of low quality. , You need to invest more cost in refining, and the refined materials can barely satisfy the most high-end aviation material production, don’t you know if I’m right?"

Tang Xiaochuan listened to Luke quietly, and when he finished speaking, he said, "You are right, but what about it?"

Luke’s face was serious and his momentum skyrocketed. He stared at Tang Xiaochuan and said, “That means you will always abandon the low-end market. In the aviation materials market, the use of low-end and medium-end materials is now the mainstream. Materials can only be used for space shuttles, manned spacecraft, satellites, etc. The annual use of these high-end areas is limited, and your business volume will be reduced by 80% by then! And I, the only one who can allow you to import enough from abroad Ilmenite people!"

Tang Xiaochuan lit a cigar and smoked slowly, smiled and said, "Mr. Luke, even if this is the case, we are not going to sell the shares of the subsidiary, I am afraid we will disappoint you!"

Luke's face changed, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Tang, are you sure you don't think about it anymore? I even brought the lawyer team. If Mr. Tang changes his mind, you can contact me at any time. We will stay at the International Hotel. , I will wait for three days. If Mr. Tang does not contact me after three days, then I will forgive us not to accompany you!"

Tang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Mr. Luke, you should take them back to Mei Lijian. Even if my company goes bankrupt, it won't sell shares to you!"

"Hmph, in your words, you really don't know how to praise, I'm sure you will beg me!"

"If you hold this kind of thinking, I think you will be disappointed! I never ask for help, or it is an exchange of benefits!"

Luke walked away with his team of lawyers and accompanying assistants with a sullen face.

Back at the hotel he was staying at, he asked his assistant: "Are you sure their stock of ilmenite ore has bottomed out?"

"I'm sure, the people I sent to observe reported that in the past half month, there have been no transport vehicles to transport ore to them. There will be at most half a month before their inventory will be exhausted. They can never wait until the inventory is exhausted. Stop the production line and think of a solution, right?" the assistant said.

Luke nodded, "I believe they will change their minds in three days, because no one will give up such a big piece of cake!"

The assistant said hesitantly at this time: "Boss, if they consider from their standpoint and they sell us part of the shares, even if they are not short of ore, their profits will be divided by us in the end. They are afraid It’s not that easy to succumb!"

Luke said: "That's better than they completely abandon the low-end market, at least half of the profit, if they completely abandon the low-end market, there is not enough ore raw materials, they will not even get half of the profit. Anyone with normal intelligence should know how to choose, right?"

"Actually, my first choice is not to buy their shares, but their technology. If they are willing to share the technology with our company, I can give up buying their shares and fully open up the supply of raw materials!"

The assistant shook his head and said, "Mr. Luke, it is too ideal for you to think so. Advanced technology means leading. If they agree to share the technology with us, then they will have no advantage at all. If it is the same manufacturing technology They may not be able to compete with us in market competition, they will not be so ignorant!"

Luke smiled and said: "Who knows how they will choose, let's wait and see!"

Three days later, there was no response from Feitian Technology Group. Luke was a little anxious, and his entourage was a little bit unable to sit still. The response of Feitian Technology Group was completely unreasonable, and there were no raw materials. Are they not in a hurry? ? Can you keep your breath?

"Are you sure they really have no raw materials?"

"Yes, I received a report from investigators yesterday that the area where they store raw ores is empty!" the assistant said to Luke.

Luke thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Go and book the air tickets. We will return to China. I want them to go to Mei Lijian and beg us!"

"Yes, sir!"

Returning to Meridian, Luke immediately established a leather bag company at the fastest speed, and ordered 30,000 tons of mid- and low-end aviation materials from Feitian Technology Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Company in the name of this leather bag company.

The Feitian Technology Group has always used spot cash transactions, that is to say, the buyer can only ship after the payment, so Luke had to prepare a large amount of cash, but he asked Feitian Technology Aviation Material Manufacturing Company to install it within a week. Ship, otherwise it is deemed as a breach of contract.

Another week later, Feitian Technology Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Company was still supplying aerospace materials in large quantities to the market, and the 30,000 tons of materials ordered by Luke's leather bag company were also shipped on schedule.

Luke was stunned when he received the news. It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Feitian Technology can't have so much inventory. Which link went wrong?

In Australia, the board of directors of Moben Mining Group held an emergency meeting.

Originally, an extraordinary meeting of the board of directors required a process, and it was impossible to call it as soon as it was held. However, this time more than 70% of the directors jointly proposed to call an emergency meeting, so the chairman Malos had to attend.

At the meeting, a director said solemnly: "Everyone, in view of the erroneous decisions made by the chairman of the board of directors in recent months, Mr. Malos has caused huge losses to our group. For the interests of the group and shareholders, I think Mr. Malos It is no longer suitable for the post of chairman, and I propose to remove Marros from the post of chairman!"

The supervisor presided over the meeting, and he said: "In this case, let's vote by show of hands. Please raise your hands if you agree to remove Marros from the position of chairman."

The board of directors has a total of eleven people, and seven people raised their hands in agreement. This is an absolute number of votes. So, Malos's chairmanship was removed. Because no candidate for chairman was prepared in advance, the chairmanship was temporarily vacant. The board of directors Affairs and company management are temporarily represented by Vice Chairman Exxon.

Vice Chairman Exxon said: "Everyone, at this stage, our ilmenite ore has been mined and cannot fit in the warehouse. These are all money. If you don’t sell it, this will be a pile of rubbish. The profit of our group has shrunk greatly. To manage these ores, we need a lot of money. We have to sell these ores to make a profit. I don't know if you have any good solutions?"

One of the directors said: “I think we should send people to China as soon as possible to negotiate with Feitian Technology and reopen the Chinese market, even if the price is lower. If there is no Chinese market, our ore can only be occupied in warehouses. To resist, we need to spend a high cost to manage it. We must know that we have to pay taxes on the ore we mine, and we must sell the styles!"

A director hesitantly said: "However, China's Feitian Technology Group announced more than two months ago that it would no longer import ilmenite ore from abroad. If we send someone, will they send someone to receive it?"

"Interests, interests, interests, everyone!" Exxon knocked on the table and said, "As long as there is an interest, no one will ignore us. I believe that no one will have trouble with the money. We can appropriately lower the export price. If you see a profit, you will definitely be interested in cooperating with us!"

"But we are the seller. If we rush to negotiate with them to reopen the trade channel, they will definitely lower the price!" A director said with some worry.

Exxon said: "The price reduction is affirmative. Negotiate. Both parties offer prices and then compromise with each other. As long as they are willing to talk, the trade channel may be opened. I am afraid that they will not talk. But in any case, if we do not go out. At this step, our company’s stock price will continue to fall!"

"Well, I agree to send someone to China to negotiate with Feitian Technology!" A director raised his hand.

"I agree!"

"agree!"

The next eight directors all agreed. In addition, Axe himself had nine votes. This decision was passed. At the meeting, the candidate to be sent to China was selected on the spot, namely the company’s general manager Tim. There are managers of two departments of the company and three assistants.

The news was soon passed to Luke by the dismissed Malos. Luke became angry when he heard the news. Once Moben Mining Company reached a settlement with Feitian Technology and reopened the trade channel, his plan would go bankrupt. NS.
