Chapter 83 Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger (1)

There is a rich iron ore resource reserve in the area near Daqingshan. The mine protection team was originally an underground force formed by the armed forces responsible for protecting the mines. At this stage, the iron smelting technology mastered by the mine protection team is still at the low level of the steelmaking period in the last century. As early as the pre-war period, the domestic steel industry had basically completed industrial upgrading and not anyone could do it. Especially in the Northeast, steel enterprises are mostly regular steel mills with relatively large production capacity, and the smelting process is quite complicated and complicated, unlike those small workshops that do not have much technical content and make black money by selling ground steel. Therefore, the mine protection team cannot find qualified technicians and materials, nor have ready-made factories and equipment.

The mine protection team is currently using the method of steel making by making coal into coke by using the soil method, and then using coke as fuel to make the mass of pig iron hovering between pig iron and dry iron, so that a group of big guys can start from scratch to achieve this level. It is actually not easy.

Although the raw materials produced by these small workshops can also obtain a certain amount of medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel after being improved through later screening and technical processing, it is definitely a long time to accurately control the quality of steel products. Therefore, when Wang Chao first heard Wu Han coming to sell steel, he even mistakenly thought that something was wrong with his ears.

It's totally unreasonable! Could it be that a separatist force that has no iron ore or coal mines at all would be too 20% of the time to study steelmaking technology? Although it cannot be said that it is absolutely impossible, such a thing is a bit ridiculous!

During the seemingly ordinary polite conversation, Wu Han had already tried to find that the mine protection team did not join the aliens, and his heart was overwhelmed. Unlike the Peach Blossom Land, which had a very thin family, if a large force like the mine protection team got such a god-given opportunity, it would be just around the corner. Fortunately, the worst situation did not appear as expected. As his mood gradually relaxed, Wu Han also joked with Wang Chao with some interest.

Wu Han is not a fledgling young man in this topic of selling steel. The reason why he told Wang Chao was to remind him not to underestimate the potential strength of the ally, the Taohuayuan. Since he saw Wang Chao's face change drastically and knew that the purpose of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger was achieved, Wu Han did not continue to apply a strong medicine, but comforted him and said:

"Hahaha, actually, our little steel production is not much, but we can't keep the cub if we can't use it all! I'll just come out and see if you need it."

The scammers with skilled methods summarized the first key to cheating, telling people that they are willing to believe in the news that they are willing to believe is not afraid of many loopholes or the poor tricks. Those deceiveds who are deceived by their own wishes will plug the loopholes themselves. Although they still have some doubts, Wang Chao accepted Wu Han's remarks suspiciously, and then said:

"I don't know how good your steel is?"

It’s true that Wu Han’s sales this time is really coming to the right place. Wang Chao really wants to get some high-quality steel because the steel produced by the mine protection team is really not worthy of the quality.

It is true that making agricultural tools does not require too good steel. Even the bad goods produced by the iron smelting workshop of the mine protection team can be used as a matter of use. It is simply that the re-fueling frequency of agricultural tools is a little higher. Anyway, manpower and raw materials are not a problem, so this doesn't matter. However, if you want to use this defective product to produce weapon accessories, the situation will be very different. High-strength high-quality steel must be used for manufacturing gun parts, especially parts such as moving parts and barrels, and there is no room for gain. If you make do with it in this kind of place, it is equivalent to having a life-threatening life!

Without high-quality steel as raw materials, the inferior weapons that were barely pieced together were probably malfunctioning and killed the weapon user before they could kill the enemy. This joke is too cold to commit suicide than killing the enemy.

Wu Han heard that Wang Chao was not polite, and immediately smiled and said:

"Hahaha, I brought two steel ingots and a few rebars this time. I won't tell you the quality, please see for yourself!"

Then, surrounded by four burly men holding automatic rifles, Wang Chao pulled Wu Han intimately to his off-road vehicle and inspected the steel ingots and rebars that Wu Han brought to sell.

The surface of the steel ingots refined by the electric arc furnace was shimmering with a slight blue light. Wang Chao took an iron rod from the person next to him and knocked it back and forth a few times on the two steel ingots. Listening to the crisp echoes, he nodded with satisfaction. Based on years of experience, Wang Chao could conclude that these ingots had no bubbles or interlayers. It should be a first-class quality product in this era. The single steel ingots weighing 40 kilograms produced by Taohuayuan are enough to meet the needs of most end users today. Moreover, those face-saving projects that cost tens of thousands of tons of steel have long become yellowed memories. Judging from the current productivity level and transportation capacity, such a size of ingots is enough.

After personally inspecting the goods, Wang Chao then narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Han and said:

"The stuff is good, please give it a price!"

Through interstellar trade, Taohuayuan introduced technical equipment provided by aliens twice, excluding the production scale and the craft level is not inferior to any major steel mill in the pre-war era. Theoretically, even special-purpose steel such as aircraft carrier deck materials or battleship gun barrels are fully capable of producing, at least at the technical level. The biggest bottleneck at the moment is that Taohuayuan does not have iron ore and coal mines, and it is easy to say about coal mines. Electric furnaces do not need to use coke, but iron ore can't get around it anyway.

At present, most of the steel from the ruins has high residual radiation. I believe that not many people are brave enough to use this kind of depleted uranium material. I have to import iron ore and scrap iron from the rod. Not to mention the distance, the price alone is not satisfactory. So after careful consideration, Wu Han thought that sitting down and discussing it carefully with Wang Chao is the best solution.

Wu Han knew that with his excellent steel quality, he would not worry about the mine protection team and said with a smile:

"Iron ore, copper ore, crude oil, wood and coal, or scrap iron without radiation can all be used to pay the bill."

Unexpectedly, when Wang Chao heard Wu Han’s offer, he nodded first, then shook his head, and then said nothing, which really made people wonder whether he agreed or opposed it.

Wu Han was puzzled by the side, not understanding what Wang Chao meant? After grasping his body, Wang Chao put on an old-fashioned posture, reached out to pat Wu Han's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Brother, you are sincere and I have no discussion!"

Where did this start? Wu Han was confused when he heard it. We had just talked about the varieties of barter trade, but we hadn't talked about the specific price yet. How can we get it from the point of being black? After careful consideration, Wu Han asked cautiously:

"Where did Captain Wang start this? I can't afford it!"

"Oh, let's be honest, there are no dead people who go to the mine. Most of the things you want have to be mined and down the well. Today is different from the past! I am reluctant to fill the people under my hands into the black hole."

Indeed, it is said that this kind of mining equipment is extremely incomplete and almost entirely relies on manual mining. Even in the pre-war era, large mines configured according to national standards would have lasted news every once in a while because of accidents. If we consider those mine accidents that were covered and concealed, or if there were not many deaths, it would be no exaggeration to say that every stone that came out of the mine was stained with blood. However, when Wu Han heard Wang Chao's sigh, he laughed happily, clearly not believing that Wang Chao was so kind.

What was the mining protection team doing in the past? Needless to say, everyone knows it. If Wang Chao is so kind-hearted, could he still be able to make a living by eating this half-black and unpalatable? He brought out this set of high-profile humanitarian disastrous remarks, but I am afraid that the intention is to raise his own asking price and lower the price of Peach Blossom Spring, and to seek greater initiative in the negotiations.

Wu Han is not afraid of price reduction. As long as he can ensure sufficient raw materials and maintain the operating rate of Taohuayuan Steel Plant, he is willing to do so no matter how high the price is, after all, the profits of industrial finished products are not comparable to those of primary products such as ores. Unless they like to turn public to private and secretly accept bribes from mining giants in the pre-war era, they will not be able to catch up with the smelting industry.

In the world trade system established after World War II, the scissors gap is a hidden fact. Any raw material, even an important strategic material such as crude oil, is indeed very profitable on the surface, and the big part of the profit has been taken away by the oil giants from the refining and processing stages.

Since Wu Han made up his mind to persuade Wang Chao to provide raw materials for Taohuayuan Steel Factory, he was not afraid that he would offer sky-high prices. He asked for a sky-high price, so he would pay back the money when he landed! He was afraid that the mine protection team would do such a kind of act that harmed others and was not good for himself. He would rather put the ore in his own hands and turn it into waste than sell it to Taohuayuan, which would be bad.

After thinking clearly, Wu Han was not polite at this time and said straightforwardly:

"Hahaha, you don't say secret words in front of the wise man. The captain's men are very mixed. If you die, you may not feel very distressed!"
