People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Lin Yi laughed heartily.

But in the eyes of Tang Side and Fan Zhongxu, it had a different meaning.

Is he upset?

The two exchanged a glance, but neither dared to speak.

It wasn't until Lin Yi laughed until his stomach hurt and his laughter gradually subsided that Fan Zhongxu spoke up: "Chairman Lin, I think it's best to look at this matter from two perspectives."

"Our goods didn't sell, but that's basically the same as not losing money."

"At least the cash flow has been preserved."

"Judging from the current market, it will be difficult for us to ship our products, but if we persevere, there is still hope."

"I also discussed this with Professor Hou, and he plans to study the process again and shift the production focus to fertilizer raw materials."

At this point, Fan Zhongxu forced a smile: "As long as this step is successful, we can start the fertilizer plant while waiting for the market to change."

"This can be considered a case of losing one thing but gaining another."

Lin Yi, who had his right hand on his stomach, nodded: "The fertilizer plant needs to be built, but the expansion of the alkali plant cannot be stopped, and the pace needs to be accelerated."

"Chairman Lin, at this time..."

"I have good news, too."

Lin Yi interrupted Tang Side.

Without keeping anyone in suspense, he said directly, "I have registered a company in Hong Kong. This company will export industrial alkali produced by Wynn to Xinca Chemical in the United States under the guise of providing raw materials."

That short sentence immediately made Fan and Tang stare wide-eyed.

Its wide-open mouth could fit several eggs inside.

"The demand is huge."

"Two years from now, Yongli's industrial alkali will meet 40 percent of the US market's demand."

This was something Lin Yi and Tony had discussed.

Tony did not intend to let him manage the expansion of Xinca Chemical.

All he cares about are stocks.

Therefore, the market share that was taken from Soswell will be filled by Yongli's low-priced alkali.

The United States consumes nearly 50 percent of the world's industrial alkali each year.

With a 40% market share in the United States, a conservative estimate would be 400,000 tons.

Therefore, time is of the essence for Wynn.

Even if you ride at top speed, you might not be able to keep up with the speed of demand.

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the office before Fan Zhongxu came to his senses.

He swayed, feeling his legs go weak.

"Chairman Lin, when did this happen?"

"We just finalized it a few days ago, but due to confidentiality requirements, I can't tell you."

Lin Yi casually made up a lie.

With the price war raging, Wynn's every move is definitely being watched.

The event has now concluded successfully, and the frantic efforts of Fan and Tang during this period have played a significant role.

If the two of them had remained calm and composed during this time, the Japanese would probably have become suspicious long ago.

It's simply impossible to put in 70,000 tons of cargo.

Fan Zhongxu's lips twitched twice, then he suddenly burst into laughter.

Just like Lin Yi's laughter before, it was extremely joyful, making him laugh so hard he bent over.

The price war escalated to such a brutal level, yet this is the final outcome.

This time, the foreign businessmen have absolutely lost both their money and their profits.

As for a 40% market share in the United States, he had never even dared to dream of it before.

But now, this pie has fallen from the sky and landed right in Wynn's mouth.

At this moment, Downs, who had a slightly lower tolerance for stress, finally reacted.

He took two deep breaths and asked, "Chairman Lin, what's the price?"

"Not very beautiful, 500 yuan per ton, they are responsible for transportation."

This is all Fan Zhongxu's fault; Yongli set a low price the first time.

Tony wouldn't let go of the five hundred, and Lin Yi was at a loss.

However, this price is quite attractive for Downstreet.

The slight worry that had been there vanished instantly, and he grinned foolishly.

The larger the scale, the lower the cost.

To meet 40% of the US market demand, he was confident he could bring the cost price down to below 320, or even 300 per ton.

A gross profit of 200 yuan per ton... Good heavens, I can't figure that out!

Fan Zhongxu and Tang Side laughed for a long time before finally calming down.

Lin Yi, who had already lit a cigarette and smoked half of it, finally spoke: "The problem with the alkali plant has been completely resolved. Now, what you two need to consider is how to meet the demand of the US market."

"This matter is urgent and should be launched within a month at the latest."

"I hope that for our first delivery, we can deliver 8,000 tons to prove our strength to the Americans."

Fan Zhongxu had told him about it before.

Yongli's current production capacity is less than 1,000 tons per month.

According to the plan, it will not be able to expand to more than 2,500 tons by the end of the year.

Preparing 8,000 tons of goods a month is no easy task these days.

Hearing this question, Fan Zhongxu and Tang Side exchanged a glance before saying, "It's not a big problem. We ordered some equipment recently, and quite a bit of it has arrived. We've been producing day and night, so we should be able to gather enough."

"Then let's get to work."

Lin Yi waved his hand, exuding an imposing aura.

If Yongli can deliver 8,000 tons of goods in the first month, Xinka Chemical, which has already stockpiled 50,000 tons at low prices, will launch an attack on Soswell.

Simultaneously, he heavily invested in Xinka's stock.

Making money off Americans...brilliant!

Fan Zhongxu and Tang Side laughed and turned to leave.

After taking only a few steps, Fan Zhongxu slapped his forehead and turned around, saying, "Chairman Lin, there's another piece of bad news."

"Old Fan, there's no bad news for us today."

Lin Yi, in a good mood, made a joke.

Fan Zhongxu smiled, then said seriously, "But this is really bad news."

Seeing his expression, Lin Yi's smile faded slightly, and he asked, "About the metallurgical plant?"

"Yes, the National Government has sent an official document that the Military Commission is preparing to take a stake in the metallurgical plant."

"Moreover, they are preparing to take control."

as expected.

If Lin Yi were in that position, he would definitely want to control these kinds of enterprises that are indispensable to military construction.

He had already prepared for this when he openly and legitimately presented the special steel project.

However, one's perspective is determined by their position.

Now that he's not in that position, he certainly can't relinquish controlling rights.

He's still waiting for the metallurgical plant to generate system rewards.

So after hearing Fan Zhongxu's words, Lin Yi smiled and said, "They can have controlling stake, but they have to be able to afford the price."

The performance of the special steel has been recognized by the expert group of the Military Commission.

The valuation of a metallurgical plant can no longer be calculated based on the amount of its bank loan.

Adding a zero at the end is a normal operation!

"A quote has been given. The metallurgical plant's previous investment, plus the special steel technology, was valued at five million, so the total price is nine million."

"The current intention they have given is to invest ten million yuan to increase their capital and acquire 52% of the shares."

Upon hearing this amount, Lin Yi was immediately amused: "Are the people from the National Government really this shameless?"
