654 Negotiations Broken Down
In the next two days, Ye Qingshan stayed in the manor and did not go out, learning how to develop film from Alice.
But with the end of that party, the influence of the Golden Family spread even more in California.
At the same time, Ye Dakang also received a message from Ye Qingshan, asking the technical staff of the steel plant under the group's name.
Go to the steel mills of the other seven Steel Alliance families for guidance on technical upgrades.
Ye Qingshan had already sent someone to teach Director Miles how to upgrade the new steelmaking technology.
People from the seven families of the Iron and Steel Alliance also attach great importance to this technological upgrade.
According to their plan, they must complete this technical upgrade within a week at the latest.
But the actual speed of technological upgrading is faster than they expected.
Director Miles went to a large steel plant with a group of technical workers and completed the technical upgrade of the large steel plant in just two days.
Only a small set of equipment was added and the oxygen blowing steelmaking process was modified.
It's finished.
Such a simple technical upgrade made Anthony and others feel both distressed and surprised.
What’s heartbreaking is that such a simple technology upgrade resulted in them giving up a lot of shares to Ye Qingshan.
But the surprising thing is that such rapid technological upgrades have almost no impact on their production.
It will not affect the production orders they have already received.
Even, after the technology upgrade is completed.
Increasing steel production fivefold again has reduced production costs by one third.
This is enough for them to win more orders, seize more market share, and have the capital to continue competing with US Steel.
After this change, Anthony became more confident.
After another contact with the Carnegie family's negotiating representatives, the other side remained tough and refused to make concessions.
This time, Anthony also responded firmly.
"You can't come to an agreement, right? Then let's keep fighting."
After saying that, Anthony turned and left.
The Carnegie family's negotiator just watched Anthony leave with cold disdain, with no intention of keeping him.
“Needham, you are forcing Anthony and the others to continue fighting us.
Isn’t it inappropriate?
At the company's board of directors, most directors agreed to reach a settlement with the West Coast Steel Alliance as soon as possible.
You also agreed to this vote.
But what are you doing now..."
Behind the second son of the Carnegie family, a middle-aged white man frowned and asked him.
“Humph, those old guys on the company’s board of directors are just worried that the company will continue to fight with the West Coast Steel Alliance.
It will only hurt their ability to make money.
A bunch of short-sighted old guys who don't understand at all.
Our family will not allow the emergence of a consortium like the West Coast Steel Alliance that dares to challenge our steel monopoly.
Once it appears, there is only one result.
That is to kill him completely.
Negotiation? Ridiculous.
nonexistent.
Otherwise, no one will dare to intervene in the steel market in the future.
Only this time, we can completely defeat Anthony and other West Coast consortium families.
It made them go from being a conglomerate to bankruptcy, leaving them with nothing.
Only in this way can we demonstrate the strength of our family and scare away all those who want to compete with us for the initiative in steel in the future."
Needham sneered and explained the confusion to his companions behind him.
"Is this what you mean, or what your father means?"
"No, it's our family's will."
"I see.
So, the negotiations were fake from the beginning.”
Needham stood up, straightened his neat and expensive suit, patted the shoulders of his subordinates behind him, and said with a smile: "Not really.
If the Anthony family can agree to the conditions we proposed.
Our family doesn't mind, let them live.
If they become a dog for our family in the future, I will naturally reward them with a few bones to eat.
It's okay to let them continue to live a wealthy life."
"What a pity, Anthony is too ambitious and it's obvious that he is not someone who is willing to be inferior to others.
Not only did he reject our offer, he also scolded me."
Needham said, with a ferocious look in his eyes: “He also threatened to continue fighting with us.
Don't even look at what they are.
It is extremely foolish for a few families from the wild lands of the West Coast to want to confront our family.
Soon, I will let them know what despair is. "
After saying this, Needham left confidently and elegantly.
The reason why the other party is so confident is not only because of their family's centuries of accumulation, strong connections, and hundreds of large steel mills across the country.
Yesterday, he also received news from his family.
The master at their steel plant successfully improved the steelmaking technology, allowing them to nearly double the output of their steel plant.
Costs were also reduced by five percent.
This further strengthened the Carnegie family's determination to completely destroy the West Coast Steel Alliance.
It's nothing more than a loss of more money, which their family can afford.
The negotiations between the two parties have completely broken down.
After Anthony returned home, he immediately contacted Buck, McCarthy and other family members.
Urge each family to raise sufficient funds as soon as possible.
"Buck, Hutchinson, stop complaining to me.
You have difficulties, don't I?
Whatever difficulties you have, overcome them by yourself.
But the funds allocated to you must be transferred to our company’s bank account within one week, not a penny less.
My negotiations with Needham have completely broken down today.
There is no room for reconciliation between the two sides, and a new "war" is coming.
Moreover, this time it will be more intense than the previous two years.
But this time, we won't lose.
Next, we will compete with US Steel for every order in the market.
We want to reduce the price of steel in the market by one third or even more.
I want to see how much loss this damn century-old family can bear."
Anthony was extremely ambitious at this moment.
The thought that the West Coast Steel Alliance, led by him, had the opportunity to overthrow the Carnegie family and become the new steel giant.
He was shaking with excitement.
This time, Anthony also gave it his all.
He pledged half of his family's company shares to the bank and borrowed more than ten billion US dollars.
Just to raise bullets.
A new storm is coming to the steel market in the United States.
And all this has nothing to do with Ye Qingshan.
Ye Qingshan spent two days learning how to develop film from Alice.
I took a lot of photos and started repeating the practice in the basement.
It took a full week before he mastered the technique of developing film to the point where there would be no mistakes.
Only in this way did Ye Qingshan dare to start developing the films in the three boxes.
It took another two days for Ye Qingshan to finish developing a box of film, which made him very tired.
