Chapter 688: Treasure Digging
Seeing Zhang Xiaobai laughing like this, Li Xianglong knew in his heart that it seemed that this method would not work, but it was expected.
Li Xianglong narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiaobai, you don't need to do any more useless work. Let me tell you a piece of news. Dingran's acquisition of Xinhai and the three small steel factories is a certainty, and no one can stop it!"
Zhang Xiaobai frowned, flicked the cigarette ash, and asked casually, "Why do you know that?"
In fact, Zhang Xiaobai was a little nervous at the moment. He saw incomparable confidence in Li Xianglong's eyes, and he was obviously sure about this matter.
This question, try again.
It's just that Zhang Xiaobai's little calculation in his heart failed.
Li Xianglong smiled slightly, "Although I'm sure, even though you can't stop it, I can't tell you now, and you will naturally know when it is revealed later!"
"Xiaobai, just imagine, at that time, how will you, Yuansheng Iron and Steel, deal with yourself?"
At that time, Dingran's family will dominate, not only will they monopolize resources, but they will also monopolize the steel market.
What does Yuan Sheng rely on to contend?
It can only be weakened step by step.
This is why Yuan Sheng is so afraid.
Zhang Xiaobai sneered and said, "Brother Li, I believe in Dingran's strength, and I also believe in your ability, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a snake, and there are rules in Tangcheng!"
Li Xianglong showed a hint of ridicule, "In the face of absolute strength, rules are nothing. In other words, those with strength determine the rules!"
"I can tell you frankly that when the time comes to compete, don't try to deal with Dingran in the way of Tianyi Material Trading. It's too childish. I have many ways to deal with it!"
"Forget it, let's tell you the truth, Dingran is not going to eat Tangcheng's resources on a large scale at all!"
The reason why Tianyi Trading was established in the first place was to monopolize Tangcheng's resources and then deal with Pingyuan Stone Mine.
This is exactly what Zhang Xiaobai thinks, if there is a fight in the end, he will find a way to win over the old relationship and not give Dingran any loyal fans.
You have no raw materials in a steel factory, how do you jump around?
Unexpectedly, people have expected it a long time ago, and obviously have countermeasures.
Zhang Xiaobai had to admire Li Xianglong.
"Oh? Don't eat Tangcheng's resources? Then you have to prepare for the shipping fee!"
Despite some guilty conscience, Zhang Xiaobai still calmly cast out his doubts.
Li Xianglong shook his head helplessly, "You, I really don't cry when I see the coffin. We are in different positions, and we see different things. Your eyes are only limited to Tang City, which is a bit short-sighted!"
Li Xianglong looked at Zhang Xiaobai and asked, "Have you heard of the Australian mine?"
Zhang Xiaobai said truthfully: "I've heard of it, but I haven't understood it!"
Li Xianglong said: "The so-called Australian ore is iron ore imported from Australia. The disadvantage is that the grade is relatively low, but technical means can be used to make up for this deficiency. The advantage is that the price is very cheap!"
Zhang Xiaobai frowned and said, "It's cheap? Is it cheaper to ship it from such a far place than to mine locally?"
Li Xianglong nodded, "It's cheaper than the local iron ore. If you have a chance, you can find out. Now Dingran Group is negotiating with an Australian mining company to use their ore in the future!"
Zhang Xiaobai was a little confused, and murmured: "How can it be?"
Obviously, this matter is very unreasonable.
Shipping from such a far place by ocean, the price will be cheaper?
Li Xianglong said: "Australian mining is quite easy, and the so-called cost is almost negligible. Have you heard of the coal boss? It's similar to that."
Zhang Xiaobai said oh, but he has heard of the coal boss. If it is an open-pit coal mine, it is equivalent to picking money from the ground.
Now the most popular local tyrants in the country, one is a mine boss, and the other is a coal boss.
Li Xianglong looked at the night outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "Last time I talked to you about the trend of the steel industry. The country cannot allow this kind of economic model that relies on extensive resources to grow for a long time. It will definitely be controlled in the near future. That’s why Dingran Group found another way to cooperate with Australian mines.”
"Not only Dingran, but several major steel groups in China are trying to follow this path. They can develop the steel industry without using our resources, and they also go along with the country's major policies. Why not do it?"
Li Xianglong turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaobai, "Your means of competition can't hinder Dingran at all, the situation where Dingran's family dominates is inevitable, so I hope you will seriously consider it, or come to Dingran to help me, or persuade those few A shareholder was acquired by Ding Ran."
Zhang Xiaobai was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head, "Brother Li, thank you very much, but since the decision has been made, no matter what we face in the future, we will not regret it!"
Li Xianglong smiled, "Well, since I can't convince you, then don't waste your words!"
That's the end of the conversation.
Driving back to Tianyi Wumao, Zhang Xiaobai felt a little tired, physically and mentally exhausted.
Zhang Xiaobai benefited a lot from the conversation with Li Xianglong. There are people outside the mountain and there are people outside the mountain. It seems that there are still many things that I don't understand, and there are still many powerful people.
If Dingran cannot be constrained by resources, as he said, Dingran will acquire the four steel factories in Tangcheng.
How should Yuan Sheng live?
Looks like a dead end.
The living room was brightly lit, but the dinner was over, and everyone gathered around the computer to watch Li Bao play games.
Zhang Xiaobai sorted out his emotions, walked over and asked, "So addicted, what are you playing for?"
Even Bai Lu, who usually doesn't play games, and Niu Yi Niu Er, who doesn't touch computers, stare at her.
Bai Lu smiled and said, "This is the first game developed by your Treasure Box Technology."
Zhang Xiaobai suddenly regained his energy, squeezed over and stared at him with wide eyes.
The picture is very simple and not very clear. There is only one character, who looks more like Super Mario, but more oriental.
Li Bao explained: "Brother Bai, the character's name is Xiaobao, a very distinctive name!"
Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "That's a good name. The protagonist of the treasure-digging game is called Xiaobao, and our company's name is Treasure Box. It can be posted."
The character holds a shovel in his hand, and Li Bao controls it with the mouse. There are only two kinds, either walking or stopping somewhere to dig things.
The ground is all the same, similar to arable land.
Li Bao controls the character to stop and go, digging around.
Zhang Xiaobai watched for ten minutes, but did not find a single treasure.
Once Niu finished smoking the pipe, he rolled it up and put it away, and said impatiently: "Get up, let brother one come!"
Li Bao scratched his bald head and gave way unwillingly.
As the saying goes, changing hands is like changing knives. Not long after Niu Yi sat down, he dug for three minutes, and a golden object appeared in the soil. The subtitles said, "Congratulations on getting one hundred gold coins!"
The character then drops the shovel and bounces a few times in the air.
This is the celebratory action that Li Bao involves.
The crowd applauded for a while.
Zhang Xiaobai asked, "How much is one hundred gold coins?"
Li Bao smiled and said, "One dollar!"
Zhang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said: "It took so long to dig out a dollar? What is the probability of your design? I guess the patience of the players has been exhausted!"
