Chapter 1383 I Still Want

Zhang Xiaobai just asked that sentence lightly, without any hint of threat in his tone, but in Li Mingwen's ears, the sentence took on some meaning.

If Zhang Xiaobai was just a shareholder of Dengfeng Steel, Li Mingwen would not think so. Dengfeng Steel is similar to Dingran Steel, and their positions are not much different.

However, Zhang Xiaobai is still the president of the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce, and this proposal is related to the future of the Tangcheng steel industry, so this sentence has some profound meaning.

Li Mingwen's expression did not change, he slowly lit a cigarette and started smoking.

After half a cigarette, Li Mingwen smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, after Dingran Steel came to Tangcheng, first Mr. Li Xianglong and then me, Mr. Zhang and Dengfeng Steel have always been treated with courtesy. If you do anything I hope Mr. Zhang will correct me if I’m wrong!”

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "No, no, I respect both Brother Xiang Long and Mr. Li."

Li Mingwen frowned and said, "What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Okay, now that we have talked about this, there is no point in beating around the bush. Let's just say it straight. I am the president of the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce, so I should do something for Tangcheng. At the same time, I also want to seek benefits in this wave. A little chance, if the bet is right, we will all be happy."

Opening the skylight and speaking frankly, Zhang Xiaobai told everything.

Li Mingwen was silent for a long time. It was not good to tell the truth directly. There was no room for detours.

To agree or not to agree?

Based on Li Mingwen's understanding of Zhang Xiaobai, it would definitely not work to deal with him. There are only two answers.

If you agree, it is nothing more than spending a sum of money and betting on an unknown, which is a big risk.

If you don't agree...

Maybe there are consequences, maybe there are no consequences.

If you really want to play hard, I, Dingran Steel, am not afraid of this.

After a long time, Li Mingwen said: "Mr. Zhang, you also know the situation of our company. I am just the general manager of a place in a group company. This matter is too big. I have to report the situation to you."

It's definitely not possible to refuse directly. If you don't see her with your head down, you still have to hang around in Tangcheng, and there will always be a day when we meet.

Then say it tactfully, so as not to hurt the other party's face. I didn't say that I won't do it for you, but I just want to see if the higher-ups will do it.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Mr. Li is very happy, so please report to Mr. Li as soon as possible!"

Li Mingwen breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he had no objection, "Okay, I'll report it right away."

Zhang Xiaobai said: "By the way, there is one more thing I have to discuss with Mr. Li."

Li Mingwen said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, please tell me something!"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "You also know that the steel industry is in a slump now. Many steel plants have stopped, and there is not much production in mining. A few days ago, the mining owners came to me and said that life was too hard. Now I can't even eat a sip of soup. You asked me if you could raise the price appropriately for the sake of the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce. The main people eating ore now are Dengfeng and Dingran. I have to talk to Mr. Li about this..."

Li Mingwen frowned, "This..."

Zhang Xiaobai waved his hand and continued: "One more thing, you said that when the situation is good, the world is peaceful, but when the situation is bad, all kinds of messy things happen. Brother Xiang Long has talked to Mr. Li about the Australian mine, right? "

Li Mingwen said: "That matter is very important. I already know a little about it. Xiang Long also told me the details. It's all up to Mr. Zhang to turn the tide, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses!"

Zhang Xiaobai sighed and said: "I'm sorry, I let everyone down. There is nothing I can do this time."

Now that the steel market is not going well, we have to rely on low-grade Australian mines to maintain production. If something goes wrong with the Australian mines...

The consequences are disastrous.

Li Mingwen asked nervously: "What happened?"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "The regional manager of the Australian mine also came to me and said that they should not reveal the pot. The price of the next batch of Australian mines will be raised. Who do you think they are? Have they forgotten how I helped them in the first place? No. How can they make so much money in Tangcheng? Are they such ungrateful white-eyed wolves?"

Li Mingwen's face was bruised and purple, and he naturally understood the implication. Did those last few words refer to Australia Mine? He was obviously scolding Dingran.

If Li Mingwen was just damaging the chicken coop, he wouldn't mind it. Who would let him take over other people's territory? Let him have a good time.

But it's obviously not that simple. How can this be something to talk about? This is an obvious threat.

Zhang Xiaobai has already said it bluntly. If you don't agree, not only will the price of local raw materials increase, but the price of Australian mines will also increase, which means that the cost will increase a lot.

Under the current market conditions, I cannot bear such a blow.

And what Zhang Xiaobai said was not just nonsense. When Li Mingwen took over Li Xianglong's class, he specifically emphasized that he could offend anyone in Tangcheng, but he couldn't offend Zhang Xiaobai.

Although he didn't have many interactions with him, Li Mingwen had heard too many stories about Zhang Xiaobai, who was like a legend in the Tangcheng business world.

Li Mingwen now regrets a little, relying on his temporary anger to offend others.

Since you can't fight, just cut your losses.

Li Mingwen said seriously: "Mr. Zhang can handle these matters. You don't need to discuss them with me. For me, the most important thing is to report the matters that Mr. Zhang told me to the headquarters as soon as possible and do my best to facilitate this matter."

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Okay, then I will take care of these small things, and Mr. Li will take care of the big things!"

Li Mingwen said in fear: "Don't take it, don't take it!"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "I wonder...when will there be news?"

Li Mingwen thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you some news tomorrow!"

In fact, we can promise him now, and it will definitely be done. Li Mingwen has been in Tangcheng for so long, and he still has these rights.

But since he has done that before, he has to find a way out.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Mr. Li!"

So they said goodbye.

…

…

Li Mingwen was afraid that the night would be long and he would have more dreams, so at noon the next day, he went directly to Zhang Xiaobai of Dengfeng Steel to tell him that the big thing had been done and the headquarters had agreed to the plan.

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Mr. Li has done the big thing, and I have disappeared. Now it is a seller's market. We can't let the seller lead us by the nose, right? Mr. Li has his heart at ease. Whether it is a local mine or an Australian mine, the price will not be raised at will, but will only follow the market."

Li Mingwen said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Xiaobai put away his smile, gave Li Mingwen a cigarette, and said seriously: "Mr. Li, we have been together for a short time, and you don't know me yet. Let's judge the process by the results. Maybe in a year or two, you will really thank me for my suggestion."

"I admit it I have selfish motives, and I do consider other steel mills in Tangcheng, but I am also a businessman, pursuing interests. I dare to wade into this muddy water, not afraid of getting stuck, but see it as an opportunity. "

This is quite true, Li Mingwen said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, I am short-sighted, just take it as a lesson for me, and we will see each other in the future!"

Zhang Xiaobai stretched out his hand and said: "Happy cooperation!"

Li Mingwen said: "It must be a pleasure to cooperate with Mr. Zhang!"

……

……

After seeing Li Mingwen off, Zhang Xiaobai drove to a commodity trading company.

Wang Dalin established such a company after withdrawing his shares from Ruihua Steel Plant, and made a lot of money by relying on his previous connections and brains.

If this person stands in a certain position, with a wide range of social relationships and vision, it is difficult not to make money.

Of course, the profits of this commodity trading company cannot be compared with those of the previous steel mills.

Zhang Xiaobai walked into the commodity trading company and asked a girl at the front desk, "Is Mr. Wang here?"

The girl said, "What do you want? I'll call him."

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "What? Do I need to make an appointment?"

The girl said politely, "Mr. Wang is talking about business with a client. You can wait."

Zhang Xiaobai smiled, took out his mobile phone and called Wang Dalin, "Mr. Wang, what big business are you busy with? I'm at your door!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dalin ran down from upstairs, jumped in front of Zhang Xiaobai, and smiled, "Brother Bai, why are you here?"

Zhang Xiaobai said, "Talking about business?"

Wang Dalin said, "Talk about something."

Zhang Xiaobai asked, "Is it big?"

Wang Dalin said, "What big business can such a small commodity trading company have?"

Zhang Xiaobai said, "What's the point of talking? Come on, Brother Bai will take you to do big things!"

Wang Dalin said nothing and walked out with Zhang Xiaobai.

This scene and this conversation stunned the girl at the front desk, wondering who this man is? So awesome.

Then the girl was suddenly startled, thinking that Mr. Wang called that Brother Bai, could it be the Brother Bai that he always mentioned?

That Tang Cheng beat the president Zhang Xiaobai?

The girl scratched her head and murmured: "He didn't grow three heads and six arms!"

According to Mr. Wang, that Zhang Xiaobai is a god!

…

…

In the car, Wang Dalin was the driver and Zhang Xiaobai sat in the co-pilot.

The two brothers lit up cigarettes.

Wang Dalin said: "Brother Bai, where are we going?"

Zhang Xiaobai exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Brother, we have been wronged for more than a year, it's time to get it back."

Wang Dalin took a deep breath and said with red eyes: "Okay!"

In fact, Brother Bai's words were enough. At that time, that thing was not wronged, and I was willing to do it.

Last year, Wang Dalin decisively withdrew his shares from Zhang Ruihua in order to donate money. In fact, since he withdrew, the steel industry has gradually cooled down, and Ruihua Steel Plant has not made much money.

However, Zhang Ruihua was scheming at first, thinking that he could make more money without Wang Dalin's shares, but he had to try in the end.

At that time, Zhang Xiaobai had only one thought: his brother had paid so much for him, so he had to help him get it back. The steel plant was his brother's hard work, and Zhang Ruihua couldn't let it go cheaply.

But first, he didn't have time, and second, the opportunity was not right. Now the time is finally ripe, and this matter must be done.

Zhang Xiaobai arranged some things for his friends around him, except for Wang Dalin, who has only paid in the past few years. He will definitely go if there is something, but to be honest, he really didn't get much benefit.

Of course, this is just Zhang Xiaobai's idea, Wang Dalin doesn't think so.

There is a room in the Peak Apartment, which is a symbol of honor. No matter how rich or awesome others are, they can't make trouble.

In addition, even though I didn't communicate much with Brother Bai, I learned a lot from him, such as calmness and thinking when dealing with things.

This is the gain that cannot be underestimated.

Zhang Xiaobai said softly: "Brother, Brother Bai has never forgotten those things, so we can only make arrangements in the future!"

Wang Dalin said: "Brother Bai, don't tell me these things, I cry easily."

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go meet Zhang Ruihua!"

……

……

Zhang Ruihua opened a steel mill in a certain county, also called Ruihua Steel Mill, mainly because he was unwilling to give up. He felt a pain in his liver when he thought about what happened in the past.

If he could just bear it a little longer, the winter would pass, and that damn Zhang Xiaobai would not have gotten such a big bargain.

Sometimes Zhang Ruihua thought, if he had not sold Ruihua Steel in the past, with his own ability and the good market conditions in those years, he would have been able to develop to the current peak scale, not to mention making money?

In Tangcheng, everyone was talking about Zhang Xiaobai, saying that he was a business genius and a business legend, but it was all bullshit.

If he hadn't acquired Ruihua Steel, how could he be in his current situation?

Zhang Ruihua was not convinced by Zhang Xiaobai, and was full of hatred.

Zhang Xiaobai caught up with the good times, and he didn't miss the bad times.

Last winter, Ruihua Steel was sold.

Ruihua was built again, but it was caught up with another winter.

Zhang Ruihua learned from the last experience. Other steel mills stopped production early, but Ruihua Steel has been holding on. He believes that good days may come at any time, as long as he can hold on.

However, after holding on for so long, the light has not come yet, and finally he can't hold on.

Just a month ago, Ruihua Steel announced the suspension of production.

Although the suspension of production is suspended, Zhang Ruihua still goes to get off work on time as before, but he is just idle.

While smoking and drinking tea in the office, the phone suddenly rang.

Unexpectedly, it was that ungrateful Wang Dalin.

After answering the phone, Zhang Ruihua said unhappily, "What's the matter?"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, where are you?"

Zhang Ruihua said, "Why do you care where I am?"

Wang Dalin said, "I've seen your car, come down, someone wants to see you!"

Zhang Ruihua said angrily, "Who is so awesome? And you want me to go down to find him?"

Wang Dalin said, "No one is as awesome as you. My brother Bai has something to see you. Wait, we're coming up!"

Not long after, Zhang Xiaobai and Wang Dalin walked into the office.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and stretched out his hand, "Boss Zhang, long time no see!"

Zhang Ruihua really didn't want to see him. It seemed that every time they met, he was unhappy. He wanted to deal with him but couldn't. He was annoyed when he saw him. Now he couldn't even have a quiet time.

After all, he is the major shareholder of Dengfeng Steel and the president of Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce. He can't afford to offend him.

Last time, he offended him and didn't want to donate money, but in the end, didn't he pay obediently?

Zhang Ruihua smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhang, what wind brings you to my humble abode?"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's not the southeast wind, nor the northwest wind, but the wind of getting rich. I'm here to give you money!"

Playing mahjong is divided into east, west, south, north and middle. "Fabai" means getting rich, which is often used in the north.

Zhang Ruihua absolutely didn't believe this. No matter how kind you are, you won't give me money. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xiaobai took out a cigarette, and Wang Dalin quickly came over to light it. Zhang Xiaobai took a puff and looked at Zhang Ruihua, saying, "Mr. Zhang, I also want to acquire Ruihua Steel Plant!"
