"That's not true. You have to treat me to this meal. You know that your department staff have high salaries and a lot of bonuses, right?"
"Then it's necessary. It's okay to invite you to the Hangcheng Hotel!"
"Okay, I'll be right over."
As expected, the neat Luo Feng arrived at the Hangcheng Hotel before the little old man.
But Luo Feng was not polite and ordered some of his favorite dishes.
But for the remaining half, just wait for the other party to order.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Dr. Li Yongfu Li came belatedly. He apologized first, then picked up the menu and ordered a few at random, and whispered: "By the way, little brother, can you really get it?"
In fact, Li Yongfu didn't have much hope on the day we parted. In his opinion, what a young man of his age said could not be completely believed.
It's not like those big guys, who always spit out their words but always keep their words.
After all, in Southeast Asia, although the maritime shipping industry is developed, rare earths are not abundant.
There are some big guys who have resources, but Luo Feng should be out of reach.
"Nagging, Dr. Li, what's in the bottle is a sample, and it completely meets your specifications. Why don't you eat and go back for testing?" Luo Feng smiled softly and took out a small bottle from his briefcase. .
Looking at the yellow-brown soil with a slight green tint inside, Dr. Li was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "Good boy, do you really have a source of supply? But are you sure you didn't give me the sample I brought you, exactly as it is?" See?"
After all, the quality is the same and the model is the same.
They look exactly the same.
"How is that possible? This is the sample I brought!" Luo Feng didn't say anything in his mind. If it were other models and other qualities, it would be fine. The rare earth mining site Luo Feng discovered contained 1 million tons of rare earths.
This is strictly screened.
To change the metaphor, I will choose from a huge selection of eggs as large as you want.
Anyway, there is no shortage of resources.
Of course, Luo Feng also knows that although there are 1 million tons of rare earths there, they are useless because there are too many and it is difficult to deal with. It is impossible to get tens of thousands of tons out every day, right?
Pick out the most expensive model, which is best, pile up the rest and take your time with it.
"Hahaha, just kidding, little brother, don't mind."
After saying that, what Luo Feng didn't expect was.
Li Yongfu actually took the bottle and ran away.
Leave a message and say that you will come over for dinner after you are done.
Luo Feng smiled helplessly.
It seems that the old man will not come back before the test results come out.
About 40 minutes later, Luo Feng had already slowed down his eating. When he was about to finish eating, Li Yongfu finally came back.
Fortunately, his home is also in the urban area and is a welfare house, so it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.
"Little brother, that's good enough. Your sample perfectly meets the rare earth standards we need. The quality is so good!"
When Luo Feng heard this, he smiled lightly. With advanced technology, it would naturally be faster and more efficient when selecting resources. This is a high-tech planet after all.
"Let me ask, what is the price of this item in China?" Li Yongfu also became serious. This question must be asked clearly. No matter how good the item is, if the price is high, they will not buy it.
Of course.
Doing business domestically and doing business abroad are two different concepts.
The former only bears a little shipping cost.
As for the latter, customs tax issues must be taken into consideration.
"What's the price for goods shipped from China before?" Luo Feng asked.
Li Yongfu pushed up his glasses, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Brother, you also know very well that this thing is sold to state-owned military industries. Military expenses are all budgeted. Naturally, small amounts can be compromised, but The amount is too large and cannot be wasted!”
"Actually, I just did you and the military industry a favor from the beginning. I didn't want to make money at all. How about this? How about 780,000 per ton?"
"780,000?" Li Yongfu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It is 10,000 higher than the domestic market price!"
"Yes, the quality is high. Of course, the price and the customs tax have to be factored in separately! The money I get must be that much!" Luo Feng knows very well that even if you sell to the military industry, you have to have an attitude, otherwise Selling your own things too cheap will arouse suspicion.
"What, do you think it's too expensive?"
"Not really, I think the price is very suitable!" Dr. Li originally thought that the other party would charge about 800,000 yuan, but he was quite surprised when it was a full 20,000 yuan less.
I have to say, this young man really helped him a lot.
With this batch of rare earth materials in hand, he can start to do what he wants to do.
"How can you give me money?"
After agreeing on the price, the rest is naturally the payment method.
"We'll wait until the goods arrive!" Li Yongfu said, "Do you need a deposit?"
"That's not necessary. How can I not believe in such a big military industry?" Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, what's the quantity? Judging from your tone at the beginning, you won't disappoint me, right?"
"Only 1,000 tons!"
When Li Yongfu heard this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his eyelids twitched. "Stop joking, how can there be so much of this quality?"
If it is said to be of poor quality, it is not surprising that the quantity is so large.
However, the quality of this is strictly selected for military industry, and it is incredible that it can be produced in such a large quantity.
The key is that he is not cooperating with Southeast Asian officials, but with private resource owners.
Then it is even more impossible to have such a large amount.
"I'm not joking, just the price and quantity just now." Luo Feng said seriously, "If it weren't for this batch of goods, I just heard that you and the military industry needed it, I wouldn't have such a low price, I would As I said at the beginning, it was just to help. You should know that there are many people who want this kind of thing."
"Thank you, thank you little brother, the military industry and I are very grateful to you!"
I was very happy today, and Li Yongfu also made an exception and drank a glass of white wine.
.......
.......
When he returned home again, Luo Feng entered his own ring space.
Inside are some off-road vehicles and off-road motorcycles.
There are also some shoes, dustproof clothing, etc. for walking in another world.
But now, there are 1,000 tons of rare earths placed in the corner.
The outer packaging is all cement bags.
Swollen.
"So many things cannot just appear in the country for no reason. How should I change things? The key is customs control. Strategic resources like rare earths are difficult to transport."
Luo Feng sat aside and thought quietly.
The scrap ships can be salvaged and transported back to the country, and I am also in that business.
But these rare earths are different.
Fortunately, in Southeast Asia, Luo Feng went to buy scrap iron. He came and went. After staying for several months, he naturally made some connections.
Kuantan Port in Malaysia is called Guangang by locals.
The Malay name is "Tanjong Kelan Port".
The new deep-water port is located 25 kilometers north of Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia.
It is a port that allows ships to enter and exit all year round.
The main exports are palm oil and wood.
Behind the port area are the Senmam and Kolbian industrial zones, which include palm oil refining, cement, paint, steel, heavy machinery, glass, electronics, sawmilling and other factories.
The hinterland includes the eastern half of Pahang and Terengganu, as well as two national reclamation areas of 14,000 square kilometers. There are trunk roads leading to the capital Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru.
Occasionally, some rare earth resources and various metals are unearthed.
But production is limited.
Luo Feng contacted Sha Chu and helped contact an old friend there.
His name is Abdullah, he is a local, and his business is foreign trade consignment.
Luo Feng's request to the other party was to help him deliver 1,000 tons of Malaysian local yellow mud.
The excuse, of course, is that a rich Malay man over there wanted to return his fallen leaves to his roots after death, and all the money was used for his burial.
But even this excuse is reasonable.
But the other party was also very speechless.
Are rich people really good at transporting 1,000 tons of yellow mud across thousands of miles?
Have you become so particular since you went to China? If you have to return the fallen leaves to their roots, wouldn't it be better to just come back and bury them?
Anyway, the shipping costs are in the millions.
Otherwise, how can we say that rich people really know how to play?
However, Shachu and Abdullah had a good relationship and had cooperated for many years, so they readily agreed.
However, it takes a full seven days to ship from the customs port to the country.
But since Luo Feng has delivered it, there is no need to worry about all the problems.
In about 2 days, a batch of yellow mud was finally shipped to Guangang.
The customs officers guarding this place were dumbfounded.
"What are these people from the Dragon Kingdom thinking? Why do they need to ship so much yellow mud back to their country?"
"That's right, why is the yellow mud different from ours?"
"When it's shipped back, the price of this mud will probably increase dozens of times!"
Several customs officers naturally looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the items filled out on the declaration form.
All very incredible.
But they are shrewd and will not let go of such a suspicious opportunity.
With dozens of people.
Start checking.
After getting on the boat, I opened a lot of bags randomly.
Nothing else.
There is really some yellow mud inside.
There is nothing prohibited.
Now, even experienced customs officers can’t fix it. Are there really people who are such idiots?
Isn’t this just a case of simple people having too much money?
But it's understandable that they don't know anything about Feng Shui. Thinking about it, Huo Qubing's tomb was filled with stones and soil sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to transport back from the Qilian Mountains. I heard that more than 100,000 people were used.
It took a whole day.
The customs officers at the port did not see anything wrong with these things. They were all yellow mud, so they gave them approval and allowed them to go out to sea.
The final conclusion reached is that the Chinese people are really rich and have nothing to do.
........
........
On the other side, Luo Feng from Hangcheng did not report to his work unit because he had to deal with rare earth transportation issues.
Take advantage of these few days.
Luo Feng once again began to explore the surroundings of the seaside town in another world.
A 50-kilometer radius around the camp has been successfully surveyed.
"Xiao Luo, how was your vacation?"
Just as Luo Feng exited the alien planet, Li Baishan called with a smile on his face.
"Of course I had a good holiday, and I would like to thank the director for giving me a few extra days to deal with some necessary things!"
"It should be, it should be, who is it you, Xiaofeng? It's impossible for anyone else to ask me for a seven-day holiday in one go!"
After hearing that the other party was talking in circles for a long time without saying anything, Luo Feng said directly: "Director, if you have anything to do, just tell me!"
"I heard that you shipped some yellow mud from Guangang?"
Luo Feng was a little surprised. He told Shachu and Abdullah not to talk nonsense, but he still understood, "Director, you are well-informed!"
"Don't hurt me, I didn't get it by asking around. I'm not that capable to know what you did!"
"Someone just asked me to tell you something! As long as it is for the good of the country, just feel free to do anything!"
“We don’t care how the goods come from!”
When Luo Feng heard this, what else could he do but remain silent?
After all, a country is a country, and your uncle is still your uncle.
"By the way, for the battleship incident last time, the reward from above has been initially released, and you will be given 200,000. This is through a special channel, and no personal tax is required!"
Luo Feng pursed his lips, thought of something in his mind, and decided to speak: "Director, I actually gave some benefits to the salvage team for the scrapped battleship last time, and I also... after all, I need to get the source of the goods. Money is used to connect people!"
"Hahaha, needless to say! I just need to know that those battleship steels cost three thousand yuan and can't be bought anywhere. And I heard from people in the war department that the bubble dynamics of this battleship will have a lot to say. When the time comes, If we really research something and come up with something, it won’t be a bonus of hundreds of thousands!”
Hearing this tone from the other party.
Luo Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, these things did not harm anyone, everyone benefited, and the government or the company did not want to pursue them.
"One last thing: when you become prosperous in the future, you can't say goodbye to me, Lao Li!"
"Hahaha, don't worry about this. My first job was with you, and I will never forget it even if I beat you to death! Especially when you cursed people in the group, I have a deep memory!"
"What a loss, kid! You're dead!"
Li Baishan said he was going to hang up the phone, but then he changed the topic and said, "An old friend of mine heard about your two incidents and tentatively asked me if I could help get some cobalt metal."
"This thing?"
Luo Feng was slightly startled.
He knew it.
Among the scarce metals in the country, this thing can be said to be ranked in the top three levels.
Cobalt is a shiny steel-gray metal that is relatively hard and brittle. It is one of the few metals that can maintain magnetism once magnetized. Its main application areas include battery materials, super heat-resistant alloys, tool steels, cemented carbide, magnetic materials, etc. .
China, Sakura Country, and the European Union have all included it in their critical mineral catalogs.
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of refined cobalt, but its cobalt resources are extremely scarce. Its reserves only account for about 1% of the world's reserves, and its dependence on foreign countries reaches more than 80%.
"How much? Private, military, or state-owned?"
for these three levels.
Luo Feng scored clearly.
Military industry first.
State-owned enterprises are second.
Personally, it all depends on your mood.
"It's official anyway..." Li Baishan said.
"Okay then, give me the contact information of the person in charge, and we can talk about it in detail!" Luo Feng said.
"Okay, that's it. You have a good rest during the holiday. There's nothing big going on here." Li Baishan nodded with satisfaction and then hung up the phone.
And hung up the phone at the same time.
In the WeChat dialog box of Li Baishan's computer, there is an old man wearing green clothes in the camera.
Obviously, the old man saw the conversation between Li Baishan and Luo Feng just now.
"Director Wang, you heard the content of the conversation. He is a nice kid. Since the other party agreed, I will give him your contact information?"
It could be seen in Li Baishan's eyes that he respected the other party very much.
And he respects him even more than he respects his own minister.
Although it is not a system.
But the other party has high moral character and high respect, and naturally deserves the respect of future generations.
