Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"If we are all going to buy Komatsu and Caterpillar, where will the foreign exchange quota come from? Besides, are all domestic mining machinery factories closed down? What will happen to thousands of industrial workers? Do you Chang Yong take care of their livelihood?" Liao Tingxuan asked.

"According to the regulations of the ministry, we can withhold a certain proportion of foreign exchange to purchase foreign equipment. The ministry can't just keep its word, right?" Chang Yonggui said without any sign of weakness.

Just when the two were arguing, Yang Mo suddenly sighed and said: "Mr. Luo, let's go! The structure and strategic vision of Hongdu Copper Company are not in line with our Zhiyuan corporate culture!"

Liao Tingxuan was dumbfounded. Where is this?This hasn’t been discussed yet?Why doesn't it fit in with your corporate culture?

Before Liao Tingxuan had time to persuade him to stay, Chang Yonggui couldn't bear it anymore!Doesn’t this mean being pointed in the face and scolded for lacking structure and strategic vision?

Chang Yonggui couldn't stand this kind of cowardice. He immediately snorted with a livid face and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Yang, why does Hongdu Copper lack structure and strategic vision?"

"The truth doesn't sound good! Mr. Chang really wants me to tell you?" Yang Moyun asked calmly.

"Say! If what you said is right, I, Chang Yonggui, will admit my mistake as your escort! What if I'm just telling you nonsense? Huh! Don't blame me, Chang Yonggui, for turning your back on me!" Chang Yonggui stopped Liao Tingxuan, who was about to step forward to smooth things over, and said, Said in one sentence.

Luo Binghui also looked at Yang Mo with a puzzled expression. He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to irritate Mr. Chang, who seemed to have a bad temper...

"Mr. Chang, you are just trying to sell me, don't you feel sorry for me! You keep talking about cultivating competitors, are you eager to mine all the copper mines in the country and sell them abroad?" Yang Mo's heart-breaking question , shocked everyone present!

"You...you..." Chang Yonggui was so angry that he was shaking all over and couldn't say a word. If it weren't for Yang Mo's status as a foreign businessman, he might have been slapped with a big mouth...

Yang Mo was unmoved and continued: "I think you should also know how many reserves there are in the mainland's copper mines, right? Exchanging the country's precious resources for foreign machinery and equipment is, to put it nicely, earning foreign exchange for the country's exports. , to put it harshly, he is a prodigal!"

"Copper ore is a non-renewable resource. If you continue to dig it like this, it will eventually be depleted one day. If you only care about immediate profits, will you let our descendants look at the devastation left behind and poke our spines? Then use it again. How many times the price can we buy back these ruined ores from foreign mining giants at a high price?" Every word Yang Mo said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Chang Yonggui's heart...

For the first time, Chang Yonggui felt that his faith had collapsed. He began to doubt that the career he had worked hard for all these years was not of much value!

"Mr. Yang, you can't say that! Our country has a poor foundation and is facing various pursuits and interceptions from the Western camp. If we don't export resource-based products such as oil, coal, and ores, how can we develop?" Liao Tingxuan also felt that Yang Mo said It's a bit too much, he defended Chang Yonggui who bowed his head and remained silent.

Yang Mo nodded and said: "Director Liao, Mr. Chang, I admit that exporting resource-based products is a helpless move. A poor and backward developing country that wants to improve its industrial base has to use precious resources in exchange for More precious development funds, this is the Industrial 1.0 era that we cannot avoid..."

"Industry 1.0 era?" Liao Tingxuan said to himself thoughtfully.

"Yes, with the gradual opening of the country and the process of domestic production of large petrochemical equipment, mining machinery, engineering machinery, and metallurgical equipment, we have the confidence to say goodbye to the Industry 1.0 era! These heavy equipment companies with the "sons of the Republic" , Just like our own toddlers, if we don’t support them ourselves and let them grow up in frustration, how can we embrace the self-sufficient Industrial 2.0 era?” Yang Mo explained patiently.

Chang Yonggui had already recovered from the initial anger and shock. Yang Mo's words seemed to have reopened a door for him...

"Perhaps you haven't realized that after opening up, China is like a soaring dragon. Maybe in a few years, China will become the world's largest producer of various resources such as oil, iron ore, coal, and non-ferrous metals. The largest consumer of products, especially copper ore, wires, cables, motors, refrigeration equipment, and household appliances are almost all inseparable from copper. In a country with more than one billion people, the demand is an astronomical figure beyond our imagination. This is one of the reasons why Zhiyuan Group spent hundreds of millions of dollars to compete for the Escondida copper mine from foreign mining giants!" Yang Mo continued, looking at the silent crowd.

"If it's true as you said, shouldn't we seal up all these mines?" Chang Yonggui asked with a hint of frustration in his tone.

"That's not true. The development opportunities are far more important than the losses we have to bear! Take copper mining companies as an example. Through the mining and smelting of domestic mines, we will give birth to a large number of excellent companies like Hongdu Copper and Honghe Copper. When companies grow to a certain size and their exploration, mining, and smelting processes reach internationally advanced levels, they will naturally go out and participate in foreign mine development like Zhiyuan Group..." Yang Mo explained.

This is also an issue that Yang Mo has been anxious about. Although he can give these companies some suggestions and advice because he knows the future development direction, he is afraid of overcorrecting and making things worse, which will ultimately affect the development trajectory of these companies!

After inspecting the mining and smelting companies affiliated to Hongdu Copper Company, Yang Mo already had a general understanding of Hongdu's technical level.

It has to be said that Chang Yonggui does have unruly capital. The treatment of technical personnel in the entire Hongdu Copper Company is the best. Although the investment in research cannot be compared with that of Zhiyuan Group, it is second to none in the entire Metallurgical Department. of.

Chang Yonggui has won the respect of most people in Hongdu Copper Company with his unique way of doing things.

After two heart-to-heart conversations, the cooperation negotiations between Zhiyuan Group and Hongdu Copper Company were unusually smooth.

This is a win-win cooperation, funded by Zhiyuan Group and provided by Hongdu Copper Company. The two parties established a joint venture mineral processing plant in Escondida Copper Mine, responsible for the exploration, mining, mineral processing and refining of copper mines.

High-grade copper concentrate is selected and transported back to China using the pyrotechnic process to refine it into electrolytic copper. Low-grade copper ore is smelted on-site using the sulfuric acid wet process to become electrolytic copper...

As soon as the contract was signed, Lin Xi called Hongdu Copper Company. Lin Xi's voice was filled with panic and anxiety: "Yang Mo, come to Singapore quickly..."
