Chapter 433 Industrial layout, new pattern
Chapter 433 Industrial layout, new pattern
Yin Zhaotang's serious face suddenly broke into laughter: "Hmph, Hong Kong-style big boobs, you're so smart to come up with that, what is that?"
Dabu Niu took out a blueprint, spread it out on the table, stood up and said, "Just take a gas tank, modify it, put it in a gasoline barrel or a mortar tube, and fire it directly."
"It's very simple. Just add some delayed detonators. They're called flying detonators in the old days. When I was collecting scrap in the New Territories, there were old men selling them."
Yin Zhaotang took a deep puff of smoke and nodded slowly: "So it's Feilei, that's very simple, Iran can make it themselves, why do they need to buy yours?"
Dabu Niu smiled slyly: "It's a cost issue, sir. Iran has a hard time even producing guns. They have to buy TNT from the United States. Where can they find cheap and affordable gas cylinders?"
"I roughly estimated that the cost of modifying a gas cylinder, including shipping, is only $10, but it would be no problem to sell it to Iran for $15 to $30."
Yin Zhaotang immediately understood that Dabu Niu was taking advantage of the industrial scale of the mainland to export cheap gas cylinders, make profits, and play the trick of military-to-civilian conversion.
The first country to use a similar strategy is not new at all. It is mainly a channel issue.
Ordinary people want to export gas cylinders to Iran and add some detonators?
It was seized before it even cleared customs.
But for a company with a weapons license, it is easy and legal to import a batch of civilian dangerous goods. The fleet of luxury cars worth more than 10 million is not for the triad bosses.
It is for the licensee of the arms delivery company.
Yin Zhaotang believed that Fei Lei would have a certain market in the Middle East, but he did not think he could make much money. It was already the third quarter of 83.
The Iran-Iraq War will soon enter its third phase, with battlefield confrontation, less fighting, and the start of ceasefire negotiations.
If you want to make money from oil bosses by using gas tanks, you won't make much money. If you want to make money, you still have to exchange it for oil. The Iran-Iraq War was actually a proxy war between the Soviet Union and the United States for oil in the Middle East.
It is a confrontation between the two poles of the world on one plate.
The failure of Iraq, which was supported by the Soviet Union, had a profound impact on the Soviet economy. France, Britain, China, North Korea, and South Korea all participated and each of them seized the benefits.
Just focusing on US dollars is too low-class.
Yin Zhaotang said slowly: "Perhaps we can really use oil to settle the bill. Ask Iran to send a representative to meet with the people from Northern Industries in Hong Kong Island."
"We will try to arrange the ship logistics and futures mortgage loans. It's good to be able to cooperate."
Tai Po Niu sighed, spread his hands and said, "Boss, Northern Industries is not here to travel in Hong Kong Island. We have already established connections with the locals."
"When I went to sell goods, I met the leaders of the military observation group at banquets. People who come to buy our goods want kickbacks, do you understand?"
Yin Zhaotang glanced at Dabu Niu and realized that he had thought it was simple, but he was too lazy to admit it, so he said, "Buying gas tanks and detonators are trivial matters."
"But there is one thing, you have to buy it from me!"
Dabu Niu looked puzzled: "Boss, are you still selling liquefied gas in the Mainland?"
Yin Zhaotang stood up and left again, leaving behind a sentence: "Go buy one now, and remember, you can only place orders from me."
"boarding!"
The Xing Tang brothers received the greeting and followed the boss to the luxury car. They all looked excited and smiled.
Dabu Niu was stunned, then he forced a smile, stood up and said, "Walk slowly, Brother Tang."
Although you have to collect a license fee, it is much better to make money than not to make any money. How can one make money cleanly? New cooperation is the best thing.
Yin Zhaotang came to the silver Aston Martin alone, opened the door, and drove away. Before leaving, he shouted, "Please send the car back to Central for me." Tai Po Niu raised his hand and shouted, "Send it right away!"
After returning to the basement of Zhongyi Building and parking the car in the area reserved for owners, the group returned to the company.
Yin Zhaotang called Dan Tart and casually instructed, "Buy two gas cylinder manufacturing plants in the province, preferably ones closer to the port."
Dan Tart leaned against his desk with a smug look on his face and asked curiously, "Boss, why do you suddenly want to buy a gas tank factory? Is it profitable?"
Domestically, gas cylinders, honeycomb coal and electricity are the main energy sources, among which electricity is mostly supplied to industrial production, while liquefied gas and honeycomb coal are more widely used in daily life.
In fact, liquefied gas is petroleum gas. As long as the gas cylinders are sent to Iran, Iran can fill them up by itself.
It doesn't cost much to acquire a gas cylinder manufacturing plant. The main profits from domestic liquefied gas go to the petrochemical group.
If Iran can't even inflate, then the Petrochemical Group and Zhongyi Group don't mind making a little more money. The battlefield is now mainly in Iraq.
Although the oil tankers, pipelines and oil refineries in Iran and Iraq were basically destroyed in the war, Iran has been repairing its oil facilities and refineries as soon as it regained the initiative in the war.
Yin Zhaotang looked at Dan Tart, but did not reveal anything yet. He responded casually, "Capital layout, industrial layout, just do as you say."
Dan Tart grinned and said, "Okay, but boss, I just ran into Tai Po Niu downstairs who was personally delivering cars. I saw several beautiful cars parked in the basement."
As soon as Yin Zhaotang reached for the cigarette box, Dan Tart picked up the cigarette, took it out and handed it to him, lighting it obediently, with a flattering smile full of hints.
Yin Zhaotang exhaled smoke and said helplessly, "Which one did you like?"
Dan Tart said: "Boss, I have never driven a Lamborghini!"
Yin Zhaotang nodded: "Do what I asked you to do, and then come back to drive the new car."
Dan Tart's eyebrows lit up immediately, he stood at attention and saluted, imitating the policeman: "Yes, sir!"
In fact, Dabu Niu was very particular when sending cars. Four Lamborghinis of the same model were prepared for the four young masters of Shanghai Street. Ten Bentleys were courtesy cars, and only the Martin was reserved for Shenxiantang.
After approving the engineering plan of the sneaker factory in Jintian Township, Yin Zhaotang opened the project plan for the A4 plot of the financial center on his desk.
Kang Lok Road, where the Chung Yi Building is located, is a prime location on Hong Kong Island. The buildings and foreign company headquarters there form the prototype of the Asian financial center.
The A4 plot that brought down the Jardine Matheson Group will be built into the Exchange Square Building Group in the future. It consists of three buildings, connected by sky bridges: Zhongyi Building, International Financial Center and Global Building. The upper floors are rented out for office space and hotels, and the lower floors are shopping malls and bus stations.
The Hong Kong Financial Trading Center is also located in the lobby of the Plaza, which is the most impressive high-end shopping mall in Central and the core of the financial center. The project was very successful, but due to the lack of funds of the Jardine Matheson Group, it has been delayed until it has not started.
The most important tasks in the second half of the year are to push the construction of the trading center building to start as scheduled before the end of the year, strive to complete it in 85, and promote the establishment of the comprehensive electronic research department and reach a scientific research cooperation with Tsinghua University.
As for the merger of Zhongyi Xin and Zhongyi Qun, the business became a minor issue. Only the "Sham Shui Po" and "Chai Wan" branches were left, and the rest were merged into the Lao Zhong Qi branch.
Among them, Sham Shui Po is the headquarters of the Zhongyi Xin, with Yuanzai as the leader. Chai Wan is the headquarters of the Zhongyi Group, with Chuanzai as the leader. The rest of the previous two groups were reduced to nominal positions.
Although he still managed the previous place, he directly reported to the Zhazhi people in Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and other places. Of course, the company shares and properties under the two characters were returned to their original owners.
The Zhongyi Building in Central also specially vacated two offices for people from Sham Shui Po and Chai Wan. So far, Lao Zhong has formed a new structure of nine halls and twenty-seven main positions.
