The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

"I, I, I did that..." Hu Qingxiang was speechless. It took him half a minute to regain his composure, "Mr. Lin, as the trade representative of a mining company, has a deep understanding of the market conditions and demands of China's steel market. It's me who part of the job."

Hu Qingxiang looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Could it be that Lin Zhiyuan is investigating me?

The Chinese government already knows about what I did?

Can I still return to the country?

Hu Qingxiang's first reaction was not to feel guilty, but to worry about his future. As a Chinese employee of an Australian mining company, his greatest value lies not in Australia, but in China.

In China, he can do many things that white people cannot do with his Chinese face.

Hu Qingxiang felt deep fear. This fear comes from two sources. On the one hand, it comes from what he did in China last year. While in China, Hu Qingxiang made friends with many heads of small and medium-sized steel companies and officials responsible for iron ore procurement. In this process, it is inevitable to visit high-end places and give some gifts. As for more serious things that harm the interests of the country and the nation, he hasn't had time to do it yet.

However, if the mainland government strictly investigates the gift-giving alone, it will not benefit him.

He was born and raised in China and knows the laws and regulations of his hometown very well. The gifts he gave out were completely criminal.

If he cannot return to China because of this, he will lose his greatest value and will definitely be terminated and lose his job.

This is the second aspect of Hu Qingxiang's fear.

His mind was spinning. What he needs to know now is whether Lin Zhiyuan is deceiving him, or has he already understood what he has done in the past year?

"Mr. Lin, I was too emotional just now. I apologize to you." Hu Qingxiang forced a smile and said the word apology. His heart was bleeding, but the situation was pressing and he had to bow down. Come on.

Lin Zhiyuan smiled again, "Representative Hu, impulsiveness is the devil. It's a good thing if you can admit your mistake in time."

Hu Qingxiang asked cautiously: "Mr. Lin, what did you mean by those words just now?"

In just one minute, Hu Qingxiang's mind had already turned three hundred and sixty times.

Among the eight heads of domestic steel companies on this inspection team, he has had contact with at least half of them before, plus the executives of the departments responsible for iron ore imports in these companies. How about treating guests and giving gifts? few.

Could it be said that these people talked to Lin Zhiyuan? But it shouldn’t be! How could they tell outsiders such secret things? It won't do them any good to tell them!

If these people had been convicted, they would not have been able to travel abroad with the team.

Finally, Hu Qingxiang figured it out. He felt that Lin Zhiyuan was deceiving him, and he gradually gained confidence in his heart.

Lin Zhiyuan shook his legs leisurely and said, "It's not interesting. I just reminded Representative Hu."

"Mr. Lin, we will bear all the expenses for your inspection in Australia this time. Your sudden contact with Lituo is not justified both emotionally and rationally, right?" Hu Qingxiang really couldn't figure out Lin Zhiyuan's thoughts, so he had to temporarily Ignore it and talk about the main topic.

"Representative Hu, the price you Bihe gave me is US$25 per ton, but Lituo has promised me US$20 per ton. If it were you, how would you choose? Since you mentioned the cost of this inspection, I believe Mr. Hestad will be willing to pay the fee."

"What?" Hu Qingxiang stood up again in shock when he heard the price of twenty dollars. "This is impossible. How could Lituo agree to this price? This is the price of iron ore five years ago."

"Representative Hu, I think Lituo is smarter than you. Don't you think the situation this year is much more serious than five years ago? Your largest customer, Dongsang Country, suffered heavy losses in the Asian financial crisis, and domestic demand dropped significantly. Infrastructure projects have been canceled one after another, and it is a foregone conclusion that several large steel companies will significantly reduce production this year. Who else can you sell your iron ore to? Representative Hu, I saw mountains of iron ore at your mine a few days ago. , if you don’t transport these iron ores out, the shutdown of your mine is inevitable. The next step is to lay off employees. By then, Bihe’s stock price will plummet, and the board of directors will definitely hold the current management accountable..." Lin Zhiyuan repeated what he just said to Hesta.

Hu Qingxiang was speechless. He knew that what Lin Zhiyuan said was true.

The reason why the China Steel Industry Association can be asked to come to Australia for inspection this time is because there is a big problem with iron ore sales. If the Chinese people don't buy it, then Bihe's next step will definitely be to suspend production and lay off employees.

It's just that Bihe still harbors the last illusion. They feel that the Chinese people will not know their current predicament, and they want to make a last ditch effort to sell the iron ore as high as possible.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyuan had completely seen through their little trick.

If he didn't follow Lin Zhiyuan's price, Hu Qingxiang believed that this man would turn around and sign a contract with Lituo. By then, let alone his job, even his boss Vincent would have to leave the company in despair.

"Mr. Lin, I want to report this situation to my superior. Please give me some time and never sign a contract with Lituo." Now Hu Qingxiang just wanted to leave the room right away.

"No problem, Representative Hu. I'm waiting for your good news, but I hope you will be faster. Lituo will reply to me tomorrow." Lin Zhiyuan sent Hu Qingxiang away in person as if nothing had happened. Room.

Hu Qingxiang wiped his sweat and took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor. As soon as he walked out of the hotel, he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and made several calls at once.

The first call he made was to the director of the purchasing department of a domestic steel company with whom he had the best relationship, "Minister Wang, I am Xiao Hu from Bihe!"

"Oh, Minister Hu, didn't you go to Australia with our Mr. Sun? Why did you think of calling me?" Minister Wang replied with a smile.

Hu Qingxiang felt reassured and heard Minister Wang's answer that everything was normal. It didn't look like something was wrong.

"Yes, I am in Australia now. I have nothing else to do to call Minister Wang. When I return to China, I will bring you some Australian specialties. I don't know what Minister Wang likes..."

Hu Qingxiang made several calls in a row and finally confirmed that all the people who had close contacts with him were safe and that Lin Zhiyuan was just defrauding him.

Hu Qingxiang cursed secretly, this bastard is so cunning, he almost scared me to death just now.

After confirming, Hu Qingxiang finally dialed Vincent's phone number.

"Vincent, I just got bad news. Li Tuo has been in contact with Chinese people..."

"What?" Vincent's reaction was exactly the same as Hu Qingxiang's, and he stood up directly, "How could this happen? Hu, have they reached an agreement?"
