Chapter 1271 The One Who Has Been Moved
After leaving Tan Zongming's office, Jiang Haokun immediately called his father.
"Dad, it's me, Haokun!"
"What's wrong? Did the Tan family boy agree to take you?" Jiang's father asked.
"That's not confirmed yet. Tan Zongming needs to consult with the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, after all, she's the organizer!" Jiang Haokun said.
"What was your purpose in calling back?" Jiang's father asked curiously.
"Dad, do you have a way to import scrap steel from the Black Sea?" Jiang Haokun asked.
"Why ship scrap steel from the Black Sea? Besides, scrap steel is only around 700 yuan a ton now, right? Buying it from so far away wouldn't even cover the shipping costs!" Jiang's father clearly watched financial news regularly and was quite familiar with the current market situation.
“The scrap steel from the Black Sea is special steel used to make tanks and armored vehicles, so of course we have to import it from there! If ordinary steel can sell for seven hundred, then this kind of special steel must sell for nine hundred,” Jiang Haokun said.
“Even if it’s more valuable than ordinary steel, there’s no need to deal in that stuff, is there? What? Is our family business not enough for you to mess around with? Besides, weren’t you going to study in the U.S.? What? You’re not going to study abroad anymore and are instead dealing in scrap? Or do you want to study in Russia?” Jiang’s father said irritably.
"Oh my Mr. Jiang! I heard some news from Tan Zongming today. There's a woman in Binzhou who can buy this kind of special steel from the Black Sea. The cost to her home is only 750 yuan per ton! Once the price of steel recovers to its previous level, she can earn 100 million yuan a year! That's 100 million yuan!" Jiang Haokun said excitedly.
The Jiang Group's total assets are currently less than one billion yuan. Earning one hundred million yuan a year is a huge profit for the Jiang family! No wonder Jiang Haokun is so excited.
"Is this the same company that the Tan family's son invested in in Binhai?" Jiang's father asked somewhat solemnly.
“That’s right, Tan Zongming and President Bao invested together, and the person who made the connection was Miss Zhao. However, the Zhao family did not invest, which I don’t quite understand!” Jiang Haokun said.
“That’s because the Zhao family doesn’t care about this kind of business! According to what I’ve learned, besides the clothing business, the Zhao family has invested a lot in real estate, and these properties are scattered throughout major cities across the country! What’s more, don’t you know that the Zhao family’s daughter-in-law bought a shipping company in South Korea? Now those ships are already docked at the pier, and I heard that business is booming. There are more than ten valuable ships, and right now there’s only one small roll-on/roll-off ship worth a little over 5,000 yuan still waiting for business at the pier!” Jiang’s father said.
"Why doesn't the Zhao family do that kind of business and instead goes into shipping? Although that stuff is profitable, the return on investment is too slow, isn't it?" Jiang Haokun asked curiously.
"Who knows? But whatever the case, it's their business. After all, they have a different perspective than us. We're just businessmen, after all, and we're after profits!" Jiang's father said.
"The scrap metal business is very profitable, should we do it?" Jiang Haokun asked.
"Can you get involved?" Jiang's father asked.
"How could I possibly have that ability? That's why I'm asking you!" Jiang Haokun said helplessly.
“I don’t have such connections either. If you can persuade Tan Zongming, you can ask him to mentor you!” Jiang’s father said after thinking for a moment.
“Then we can only wait. After all, we still need his help. If we can attend the Zhao family’s gathering, that woman named Xu Banxia will definitely appear at the gathering. If not, we can talk to her directly then!” Jiang Haokun said with a relaxed expression.
"That's all we can do, but the best-case scenario is that you can contact that woman through the eldest daughter of the Zhao family!" Jiang's father said.
"Why? Is our Jiang Group not qualified to cooperate with a woman who collects scraps?" Jiang Haokun asked, somewhat puzzled.
“When will you ever mature? Believe it or not, whether you cooperate directly with that woman or through Tan Zongming, the final decision on whether you can cooperate still depends on the approval of that Miss Zhao,” Jiang’s father said with a smile.
"No way, Dad! Can't we get through Tan Zongming? Tan Zongming has already become a shareholder in that company! And he owns quite a few shares!" Jiang Haokun couldn't help but be skeptical when he heard his father's words.
"Hehe, we'll see then! But no matter what you do, you must ask the opinions of those young ladies from the Zhao family, you understand?" Jiang's father said in a serious tone.
"Okay, I understand!" Jiang Haokun was clearly still somewhat unconvinced, but he had no choice but to listen to his father. After all, he didn't have any say in the Jiang Group yet, and everything depended on his father's decision.
Tan Zongming went directly to the hospital to find Wei Hong.
"Big sister, I have some things I'd like to discuss with you!" Tan Zongming said with a smile as he sat opposite Wei Hong.
"Is it a business matter or a personal matter? If it's a business matter, you can contact Wei Qing directly. After all, he's the one in charge of our family's business." Wei Hong poured Tan Zongming a cup of tea and said.
“It’s a private matter, and only you can make the decision. Mr. Ye can’t make the decision!” Tan Zongming said.
"Oh? Then tell me!" Although Wei Hong was surprised, she still gestured for Tan Zongming to continue.
“Big sister, Mr. Bao and I have invested in Xu Banxia’s company, and now many people want to get involved. I don’t know what I should do about this,” Tan Zongming said.
"What happened?" Wei Hong asked with a serious expression.
“They are some business partners we’ve worked with before. Although the market is sluggish now, everyone is optimistic about our country’s steel market, so it’s inevitable that steel prices will rebound and even exceed previous prices. Xu Banxia was able to get such cheap special steel, which is much more expensive than ordinary steel, so it has aroused the envy of some people,” Tan Zongming said helplessly.
"What do you think about this?" Wei Hong asked. If Tan Zongming didn't want others to get involved, then Wei Hong would help him nip those people's covetousness in the bud.
If Tan Zongming wants to use this matter as leverage to gain greater benefits for himself, then Wei Hong will have to consider the issue of cooperating with Tan Zongming in the future.
Tan Zongming got to know Xu Banxia through Zhao Weihong. Now that more people are being brought in, Xu Banxia's shares will inevitably be reduced. If there are not many profits, will Xu Banxia withdraw?
What was the point of introducing Tan Zongming to Xu Banxia?
"Big sister, actually I don't advocate continuing to bring in shareholders. After all, the profit margin for this is limited, and the amount that the Black Sea can provide is also finite, right?" Tan Zongming said helplessly.
