Chapter 145 World Nickel King (Subscription Request)

"Qingshan Holding Group?"

When Chen Jue took the business card and looked at it, he was completely numb.

My mind immediately recalled the period before and after the epidemic when Qingshan Holding Group, a company hidden deep under the water, had just begun to show its claws and attracted the attention of the capital markets across the country and even the world!

Compared with Chint Electric, Aokang International, Huafeng Group and other long-established Vancouver-listed companies, Tsingshan Holdings can be said to be quite low-key.

They rarely appear in the media, and even many local Vancouverites who are unaware of their existence.

Take Chen Jue, a native of Rui County, Wenzhou, for example. He had never heard of Tsingshan Holdings since he was a child.

The reason why I had an impression of this company was because the "Nickel King Incident" was exposed by the capital market. I only then knew that there was an industry giant in Vancouver with an annual output value of more than 3000 billion!

Ordinary people may not have any basic idea of ​​what Tsingshan Holdings does, but they just need to remember that they have made "stainless steel" the world's number one product.

As the top private enterprise in the domestic stainless steel industry, Tsingshan Holdings sells stainless steel continuous casting, bars and wires, plates and strips, steel sections, nickel iron, etc. Its products are widely used in the fields of petroleum, chemical industry, machinery, electricity, automobile, shipbuilding, aerospace, food, pharmaceuticals and construction.

As for nickel ore, the core metal needed to manufacture stainless steel, Tsingshan Holdings has monopolized more than 50% of it worldwide.

So much so that by March 2022, the London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel futures saw an unprecedented bull-bear showdown.

Financial manipulators from all over the world and international giants involved in the stainless steel industry have begun to confront Tsingshan Holdings, the real main dealer behind nickel futures.

In just two days, the bulls pushed the nickel contract to an all-time high of $2 per ton, forcing Tsingshan Holdings to contact partners everywhere and reach a showdown and settlement with a group of foreign giants by mobilizing resources to deliver spot goods.

Such incredible operations forced the bulls to expose this invisible giant that had been lurking underwater in Vancouver for a long time!

It was this battle between bulls and bears that made netizens across the country realize the strength of this world-class "Nickel King" in Vancouver.

"Mr. Xiang! I have heard of your name for a long time!"

"We'll talk in detail after the meeting. We at Cube Technology are indeed looking for a suitable stainless steel supplier recently." Chen Jue smiled slightly after taking the business card, and regained his previous confidence with the confidence brought by the MC system.

We are all doing business, and in the business world, strength and wealth are what matters.

Moreover, Chen Jue has already activated the MC plug-in, so there is no reason why he would be worse than these Vancouver bosses in traditional industries.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue wanted to cooperate with Xiang Qingshan was because he saw that the other party could provide him with different types of stainless steel materials.

If we want to promote modular infrastructure technology abroad and enter the shipbuilding industry for foreign sales in the future, stainless steel is indispensable.

Although the single element [iron block] produced by MC has stronger material properties.

But after all, those things are BUG-level materials produced by the system. Once they are sold to the outside world, no one knows which research institute will be interested in them and take them back for testing and research.

Like Chen Jue had previously used [iron blocks] to make various magical modifications, the iron rods, iron plates, and iron sheets produced were all used within a controllable range.

Whether it is the 10,000-ton bulk carrier, the Rubik's Cube Factory, or the warehouse in the Far East, they are all under the surveillance and use of the Iron Golem.

It would be harder than climbing to the sky to steal these materials properly.

However, if it is to be truly put into the civilian market, the [iron block] material must be replaced with alloys such as stainless steel in reality.

Xiang Qingshan saw Chen Jue was so modest, without any arrogance of a young rich man, and laughed: "As long as it's stainless steel business, it's easy to talk about! If Mr. Chen is free later, why don't we go have lunch together?"

Chen Jue nodded upon hearing this: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Xiang for his hospitality!"

……

After chatting with Xiang Qingshan, the world's nickel king, they added each other as WeChat friends, and then began to listen to the Wenzhou leaders on the stage presiding over the meeting. The original intention of this meeting was to commend the advanced units and individuals who actively participated in the anti-typhoon period.

At the same time, the company also gave a lot of praise to the companies that donated various materials to the post-disaster reconstruction work, and awarded each entrepreneur with an honorary medal with the Vancouver logo.

It's the kind of shiny and bright bronze medal with gold foil craftsmanship that hangs at the entrance of a company, covering an entire wall.

It was also the first time for Chen Jue to lead a team to receive this kind of medal with an official seal. When he went on stage to receive it and took photos with a group of Vancouver bigwigs, a hint of emotion appeared on his face.

A few months ago, he was just a young man lying dead in the village due to bankruptcy and debt.

Who would have thought that after accidentally fishing for MC's [Wooden Axe], his life would undergo such a drastic change!
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the whole audience's focus was on him, as if he was a conspicuous person.

Even when the mayor of Vancouver took the initiative to give him a sign, he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him in various ways: "Mr. Chen, don't leave in a hurry after the meeting! Come to my office."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Wenzhou business leaders who came on stage to receive their badges kept looking at Chen Jue sideways.

Seeing this, Chen Jue was flattered and nodded modestly: "Okay, Mayor!"

While holding the medal and taking photos, I was muttering in my heart: "If I had written an essay titled "Uncle Mayor Encourages Me to Work Hard" when I was in school and submitted it to the city's primary and secondary school essay competition, wouldn't I have won first prize in no time?"

……

With some perverse thoughts and wild imagination, Chen Jue attended the entire commendation meeting with a mysterious and confident smile on his face.

When the meeting was over, the units and individuals who received advanced medals began to leave.

Chen Jue followed Secretary Lin all the way to the mayor's office.

The office was simply decorated. After Chen Jue got acquainted with a group of business tycoons in the conference hall, he felt more relaxed and was no longer restrained in such a place.

As soon as I sat down on the sofa, my eyes began to look at the huge Vancouver city planning map hanging on the wall.

The map shows the development plan for the Vancouver urban agglomeration in the next five years, as well as some large-scale infrastructure projects involving people's livelihood support, such as the S5 light rail line.

At this time, the mayor of Wenzhou came in after finishing his meeting, sat down and said, "Mr. Chen, your Cube Technology Company has performed outstandingly in the fight against the typhoon this time. I heard from Secretary Lin that you plan to take a few plots of land in the city to build dormitories for your employees. Which plots have you set your eyes on? Do you need me to coordinate with you?"

"Just raise your question boldly, and treat this place as your own home! Technological enterprises run by young people like you are full of energy and drive, and as a parent, I have to pay more attention to them!"

Chen Jue's expression immediately changed when he heard this: "Thank you for your concern, Mayor!"

Then he rolled his eyes, raised his hand and pointed at the huge map hanging on the wall, and said, "Mayor, don't worry about the land. Do you feel that there is something missing on this map?"

"Something is missing? Mr. Chen, do you have any good suggestions?" The mayor and the accompanying Secretary Lin looked at each other in confusion when they heard this.

For example, this development plan map involving the Vancouver urban agglomeration was the result of in-depth research and discussion by various departments and many local experts and scholars, and was then approved by higher authorities before it was finalized.

After all, this is a five-year development plan for the city's future, which concerns the economy and livelihood of more than 5 million Vancouver residents.

From project planning and design to subsequent funding allocation, a lot of preparatory research work needs to be done in advance.

You, a small business owner, are now questioning the map, and you are mentioning it in front of the mayor, a senior leader who knows the situation in Vancouver best.

Isn't this just showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong and asking for trouble?

Who would have thought that Chen Jue's next sentence would shock the two leaders present: "Mayor! It's the port terminal! This map is missing a deep-water port with an annual throughput of 1000 million boxes!"
