Chapter 1017

Most reporters are just watching the cooperation between the Black Cloud Group and the Sumitomo Consortium, but American and West German reporters have different ideas. Although the Heiyun Group is very large, the raw materials that can be purchased from Japan have increased, and the procurement in other countries is bound to decrease accordingly. At present, the metal raw materials of Heiyun Group are mainly concentrated in the United States and West Germany.

In fact, in cooperation with the Sumitomo consortium, Bao Zixuan also wants to transfer the procurement of US raw materials to other places. At present, Heiyun can solve some of the metal materials itself. After all, the factory left by Baohuodong Mining Company in the deep sea has belonged to the Heiyun Group.

However, the domestic demand for metal products in Huaxia is too great, and it is increasing every year, so that the shipment is not enough at all. In the Soviet Union, titanium alloy products are mainly purchased; Germany is mainly high-end products. Mid-end products are mainly American companies, and they are also companies that have roots and ties to Bao Zixuan.

At present, the main supplier of the Black Cloud Group in the United States is the United States Steel Corporation, whose predecessor was the famous Carnegie Steel Corporation; but now the largest shareholder is the Morgan family, and Bao Zixuan has long wanted to cooperate with it. However, good suppliers are not easy to find, and we can only take a long-term view. Today the Japanese take the initiative to come to the door, so there is no need to be polite.

Even if it offends the Morgan family, it has long been irreconcilable. It's just that both sides have no good way at present, so they have not attacked the opponent. There is now an opportunity to get rid of partial dependence on their raw materials, of course. In fact, the reason why Bao Zixuan is confident is that the Morgan family doesn't dare to say much, and the relationship between the two parties is one aspect. Another important point is that U.S. Steel is a joint-stock company. Although the Morgan family is the largest shareholder, it cannot cover the sky with one hand.

The interests of other shareholders must be satisfied so that the enterprise can develop harmoniously. It was they who offended the customer, and they were also the company's largest customer. If they dared to come out and shout, it would be tantamount to slapping themselves in the face. Moreover, Bao Zixuan did not do everything at one time, and still gave a large share to U.S. Steel.

Product quality and compatibility are one aspect. When doing business in the United States, it is still necessary to balance the interests of all aspects. Otherwise, the U.S. Department of Commerce will come out to trouble you, and everyone will not have a good time.

Seeing that the reporters were already talking a lot, Ichiro Sumitomo was very satisfied. Although it was a bit noisy, that's what he wanted. Even if American and West German journalists have any ideas, they don't care so much at this time.

Sumitomo Yi saw that it was almost the same, and continued: "At the same time, two companies, Sumitomo Chemical and Sumitomo Metal, will jointly establish a scientific research laboratory with the Black Cloud Group, and the location is located at Yulin Institute of Technology. The highest quality raw materials in the world.

"At the same time, the children of Sumitomo employees will come to Yulin Institute of Technology to study abroad, which is also to cultivate talents for the construction of the consortium's echelon."

"Sumitomo Bank has reached an agreement with Heiyun Bank. In the future, the transfer from Sumitomo Bank to Heiyun Bank will arrive in the account within ten minutes. On the contrary, the two banks will conduct all-round cooperation in capital, foreign exchange, transfer and remittance. ; to meet the needs of customers in Hong Kong and Japan.

Sumitomo Bank can't do it in one minute as I said before. But ten minutes is no problem at all, of course, it is only for the business of the two banks in Asia, and other continents are currently powerless. But this is really scary enough, you must know that this involves two regions and two banks; if there is no absolute trust, no one dares to do this.

In fact, both parties are not stupid. At present, it can only be used for small remittances. That is, under a million dollars, the amount is too large; if something goes wrong, no one can afford the risk.

But these series of cooperation also made reporters excited, especially Japanese reporters. I believe that there is no need to worry about the sales of newspapers in the next week. The news of the Sumitomo consortium will be enough for public readers to study for a few days.

The West German reporter, who was only slightly worried about the Blackfish Group's purchase of raw materials from Sumitomo Metal and Sumitomo Chemical, turned a little dignified at this time. Japanese products can only be regarded as mid-end products in the international market, and high-end products have always been in the hands of Germans. After all, in terms of time and investment in metal material research and development, the Germans are indeed ahead of Japan.

Therefore, the purchase of raw materials by the Black Cloud Group from Japan does not have much influence on the Germans; it is just that the competition of mid-end products will become fierce, but German companies never rely on mid-end products to survive.

Now that two companies, Black Cloud and Sumitomo, have established scientific research laboratories, you don't have to think about it and know that they must be ready to challenge the authority of the Germans. This has to be taken seriously, after all, whether it involves domestic enterprises and whether they can be recognized internationally.

All Germans hope that the two Germanys can be unified, which is the dream of the entire Germanic nation. But to achieve reunification, it seems that West Germany can only take the lead, but everything depends on the level of economic development.

Wanting to unify Germany by force is tantamount to a dream. If the Soviets didn't come to beat you, just have fun! Now is not the time for the Germans to hang everything in the early days of World War II. Without strong economic support, East Germany would simply not take care of West Germany. Unification, but to meet the interests of all parties, everything needs huge amounts of money to maintain.

Once the two corporate scientific research institutions developed high-end products, they even surpassed German products. Then Germany will lose its advantage in this field. No advantage means that it will not be recognized by the market and will not be able to get orders; it will be a fatal blow to the West German economy.

Purchasing raw materials from Sumitomo Metal and Sumitomo Chemical, and cooperating with the Sumitomo Foundation to establish a scientific research laboratory; it can be said that the United States and West Germany are intimidated.

The US National Steel Corporation can sell nearly 4 billion US dollars of raw materials to the Black Cloud Group every year. With the advent of the international shipping crisis, the steel market is not very prosperous. The shipbuilding industry is a big steel producer. Without new ships to be built, the sales of steel will certainly not go up.

American shipyards can't compete with Japanese, British, and Korean companies at all, and now China's shipyards are slowly rising; resulting in less steel demand from American shipyards. We can't keep building warships all the time! Not to mention the Soviet side, not even the taxpayers would agree.

Although we are currently in the cold war period, we are safe and sound at this time. It is enough for the army to replace the vehicles. Does the navy also need to replace the warships at the same time? Isn't that just looking for trouble, wanting to expand the situation; taking the initiative to provoke a more intense arms race!

Now this state is very good, everyone can keep calm, at least the people are still satisfied.

The domestic infrastructure in the United States is basically completed, and large-scale investment is not required at present. It's no wonder that the steel mill's life is better, and now it has lost half of the black cloud group's orders; it is estimated that US Steel will soon convene a board of directors to discuss countermeasures.

The same is true for the Germans, whose products have always been synonymous with high-end products. At present, electronics and home appliances are suppressed by Heiyun and Japanese manufacturers; cars are similar, and it is difficult for mid-to-high-end models to compete with Heiyun, and low-end utility vehicles are basically taken away by Japanese manufacturers. It's so hard that even the roads of metals and chemical raw materials are blocked. Isn't this drawing hatred!

In fact, Bao Zixuan also understands that if he cooperates with the Sumitomo consortium, he will definitely lose something; for example, the friendship of the Germans. But the world is respected by the strong, if there is no strength, it can only be slaughtered by others. Don't talk about respect at that time, it's a good thing to ignore you.

In shopping malls, there is no worldly sense to speak of ~www.mtlnovel.com~ You can't always look forward to doing things, you must go all out. Only in this way can we survive in the future competition and not be eliminated by the market.

In fact, the richest man in Bao also wants to lure Germans out. Of course, it is best to join. If you have money, everyone will earn it together. If not, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.

As early as a few years ago, Bao Zixuan proposed a similar idea to Rheinmetall, Thyssen and Krupp; but was directly rejected by the three companies. After all, the core technology is in the hands of others and has absolute initiative.

I believe that although they will not regret it now, they will definitely not be in a good mood. Bao Zixuan is rich, and the Japanese's skills are not necessarily much worse than theirs; if more capital is invested, the chance of catching up is very large.

Industrial enterprises do not have sufficient funds, and in many cases they need to rely on government projects. But Heiyun is an alternative. Bao Zixuan makes too much money in other fields, and there will be no problem with subsidizing it to the industry. In comparison, German companies are bound to be at a disadvantage.

It is also forcing them to change. If they don't find Heiyun to cooperate, they will be uncertain in the future, who will be the leader in this field.
