Chapter 905 Questions and Answers
Li Xianglong didn't want to stand out. Although he is the general manager of Dingran, this steel plant does not belong to him, nor does he belong to this city.
But!
He felt that he should speak at this moment!
That's all!
If Zhang Xiaobai's words just now caused the silence of the night, then Li Xianglong's words caused the noise of the market.
You are a companion, we respect you!
If you become an enemy, we exclude you!
Zhang Xiaobai and Li Xianglong's actions are equivalent to rebellion for this city and this industry!
Doing this for the sake of profit, no face is needed!
Zhang Xiaobai sighed inadvertently and looked at Li Xianglong with gratitude.
I didn't want to drag him down, but I still put him in dire straits.
If it weren't for his words, it would be difficult to fight alone!
This is a brother!
Zhang Ruihua still didn't express his opinion, but a smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The food and wine were on the table, but no one wanted to eat.
The fourth person slowly stood up, seemed to feel that his hands were a little dirty, and clapped his palms.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you two have decided, then do it! Why are you talking to us?"
Another boss stood up angrily, "You are shameless for making money, but we have to have dignity. We still have to stay in Tangcheng and live up to the old and young men in Tangcheng!"
It sounded as if Zhang Xiaobai and Li Xianglong had done something treasonous!
Three people also stood up.
Five of them were also the ones who firmly opposed just now, and they were leaving now!
Zhang Xiaobai said lightly, "I may lower the price of steel in due time!"
"Damn!" Someone turned around and shouted, "Zhang Xiaobai, are you still a Tangcheng person? Are you going to be an enemy of everyone in this industry in the entire city?"
Including the few people who did not leave, they all looked at Zhang Xiaobai with indignant eyes.
He was going to break the rules!
In addition to the supply and demand relationship, the price of steel is also affected by these steel mills. Sometimes they can sit together for a meal to set the price and deal with foreign buyers together.
If Zhang Xiaobai lowers the price and expands the scale, how can other steel mills survive?
Zhang Xiaobai pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Sit down and talk, there is still room for discussion."
The implication is that if you leave, there will be no room for negotiation.
The consequences are too serious, no one dares to leave, and they return to their original positions angrily.
Zhang Xiaobai shook his neck, drank a glass of wine in one breath, and then licked his lips.
In the eyes of everyone, he felt a little scared. This man is really a bit evil.
Zhang Xiaobai lit a cigarette and asked, "You are not fools to become the boss of a steel mill. I have a question. Will the steel industry continue to be so popular?"
Everyone knows the answer, it is impossible, but no one answered and wanted to hear what he said next.
Zhang Xiaobai looked at me, Zhang Ruihua, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Ruihua had the urge to hit someone. You are really talking about everything. If you don't catch up with the sluggish market, can you pick up such a big bargain?
When the market was good, Zhang Ruihua expanded the scale in order to make more money. However, the steel price fell just after it was built, and it kept falling, and it even fell to the lowest point.
That period was the most painful moment in Zhang Ruihua's life. He wanted to hold on and wait for the next wave of market conditions. After holding on for a while, he gave up. Who knew when it would end? Every period of time meant that the assets in his hands depreciated a lot of money. In the end, he made up his mind and sold them to these four people.
Later, this decision also became the most regrettable moment in Zhang Ruihua's life. If he had endured it a little longer, he would have seen the moon in the clouds!
Zhang Ruihua could only comfort himself that no one was Zhuge Liang and could not see what the future would be like. What if the market did not improve? Then he would not regret it!
He was right. In fact, no one had thought that this industry would become a highly profitable industry before.
The industry is too important!
Otherwise, there is a saying that goes, "Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry!"
Two people with the same ability will have completely different futures because they join two different industries, one sunrise and one sunset.
However, no one knows the prospects of this industry!
Once the next steel industry downturn comes, I don't know how many Zhang Ruihuas will appear in Tangcheng, which is also what Zhang Xiaobai is worried about.
However, no one understands this now, even Zhang Ruihua, who has experienced it, doesn't understand.
Zhang Ruihua snorted coldly and ignored him.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I don't mean anything else, I just think you should feel it more deeply!"
What does he mean by nothing else?
Zhang Ruihua glared at him.
Zhang Xiaobai simply didn't rely on him and continued, "Everyone sitting here knows that the steel industry has been developing at a high speed for so long, and there will inevitably be a day when it collapses. At that time... where will you go?"
There was a silence.
After a long time, someone asked, "Can the collapse be prevented by using Australian ore?"
Zhang Xiaobai said, "No, but the loss can be minimized!"
With lower costs, the loss will naturally be less!
Someone else asked, "If Australian ore is used in large quantities, it will inevitably offend local companies. What if they unite and don't supply steel mills?"
In fact, this is the issue that people are most concerned about.
Sometimes, it is inevitable to make a trade-off between morality and interests. For businessmen, this choice is easier!
Businessmen value profit!
Zhang Xiaobai took a puff of cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Not only will they not unite, but because of this incident, it is very likely that the price of ore will be lowered to continue to reduce costs!"
The exclamation sounded, and everyone was puzzled by this sentence.
Li Xianglong nodded slightly, thinking that Brother Xiaobai was thinking far enough, and his approach was really cruel!
There is no doubt that what Zhang Xiaobai said will become a reality. Any commodity depends on the relationship between supply and demand.
When the supply exceeds the demand, the price will inevitably fall!
As for whether they will unite for common interests?
Li Xianglong just smiled and said nothing. It is too difficult to accomplish this. It is estimated that there is only one result, that is, the big enterprises or the factories and mines with good relations with the steel mills will survive.
Zhang Xiaobai actually didn't want to do this. The initial idea was to persuade them with emotion and reason!
The chat with Su Tong reminded him that persuading these people who were crazy about picking up money on the road?
Absolutely impossible!
Only tough measures can be taken!
Zhang Ruihua finally figured it out and asked, "Maybe the result won't be like this. What if they build a steel mill together?"
In that case, the supply and demand relationship will change. The most extreme case is that they produce and sell by themselves, and these ten steel mills will have nothing to do with it.
The shrewd Zhang Ruihua thought of the key point.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Let's not talk about whether they are united or not. Is it easy to build a steel mill? Mr. Zhang, how long do you have to prepare to build it? Why didn't Dingran build it directly? Instead, it took the way of acquisition and expansion? This is all experienced. What would happen if there is no experience?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. It is indeed not easy to build a steel mill. They have a deeper understanding!
The fourth person suddenly spoke up, "What if they send the raw materials to other places?"
