In order to prevent Xu Banxia from acquiring Shengergang, Zhao Lei considered everything else, but did not consider that Xu Banxia acquired Shengergang. In fact, it was to let Chen Yuzhou see his own steel plant before his death, so that he would no longer have regrets.
This is also the truth that Zhao Lei only understood half a month after Wu Jianshe successfully acquired the provincial Ergang. Before Zhao Lei went to Shanghai, he wrote an apology letter to Xu Banxia. It was this apology letter that indirectly promoted the reconciliation between the two in the future.
Zhao Lei predicted that the market value of Shenger Steel will be reduced by half in three years. As expected, Shenger Steel's future operation in Wu Construction, due to a broken capital chain, Xu Banxia had to take over. The reason why Xu Banxia was able to successfully acquire Shengergang at a very small cost and build his own steel kingdom is inseparable from Zhao Lei's three sacrifices.
Zhao Lei lost his job because of helping Xu Banxia
Wu Jianshe said something very right. If there were no Zhao Lei, how could Xu Banxia "get a fortune out of nothing" and be on an equal footing with them?
For Xu Banxia, Zhao Lei’s help is unquestionable. Before Xu Banxia met Zhao Lei, she was just a small enterprise that acquired scrap steel. The shareholders and employees were Chen Yuzhou and Tong Xiaoqi. It was not so much a small enterprise as a "broken junk". Therefore, no matter how much money Xu Banxia earns, no matter how big his business is, Wu Jianshe and others will not look down on Xu Banxia.
Xu Banxia relied on her mouth to get 5,000 tons of scrap steel in Wujian, but this was far from meeting Xu Banxia's expectations.
Xu Banxia couldn't even get the deposit for the acquisition of scrap steel, so she had to find another way and impressed Zhao Lei with the planning of the yard and future dock. Zhao Lei agreed to lend money to Xu Banxia and asked her to follow Wu Jianshe to purchase scrap steel abroad.
Wu Jianshe and others were deceived and returned to China. Only Xu Banxia insisted on finding channels to acquire scrap steel. Without signing a contract with Xu Banxia, Zhao Lei privately threw 50,000 tons of scrap steel money to Xu Banxia, which also laid the groundwork for Zhao Lei to leave the company.
Although Xu Banxia successfully acquired 50,000 tons of scrap steel, international steel prices plummeted. Zhao Lei resisted the pressure from the company again and did not acquire Xu Banxia's scrap steel at the moment, which gave her a breather.
Although the steel price finally recovered and the company made money, Zhao Lei privately paid Xu Banxia without signing a contract. He was repeatedly troubled by the company, and Zhao Lei had to resign.
Xu Banxia made her first pot of gold by purchasing scrap steel abroad this time, which laid the foundation for her future acquisition of Shengergang, but Zhao Lei lost her job because of this.
Zhao Lei jumped into an ice hole to help Xu Banxia negotiate
Zhao Lei lost his job because of the scrap steel acquisition incident and was invited by Xu Banxia to work in her company.
Xu Banxia plans to receive the provincial Ergang and ask Zhao Lei to help her. Zhao Lei told Xu Banxia that he could go to Shenyang to have a look.
When Xu Banxia was purchasing equipment in Shenyang, she was involved in the local demolition case. Zhao Lei not only helped Xu Banxia find a lawyer, but also personally felt that Shenyang was also negotiated with Wang Dasheng at two o'clock in the evening alone.
Zhao Lei faced Wang Dasheng's threat and said, "If I voluntarily jump in, you have to agree to talk to us." So Zhao Lei took off his clothes and jumped into ice hole without hesitation.
Xu Banxia finally achieved his goal. If Zhao Lei had not had a 2 o'clock jump late at night, perhaps he would have been delayed for a long time and would not have been able to take away the technical experts of the steel plant so smoothly.
Zhao Lei's late night jump laid the foundation for Xu Banxia's successful construction of the steel plant in the future.
Zhao Lei prevented Xu Banxia from acquiring the provincial Ergang
Zhao Lei knew that after Xu Banxia bid for the provincial Ergang, he had no working capital to run the steel plant, and finally went bankrupt. In Zhao Lei's prediction, the provincial Ergang would depreciate by half in three years, and it was just right to acquire it at that time.
Zhao Lei knew about Wu Jianshe’s funding situation, so after Wu Jianshe bid 50 million, there was no auction, although Xu Banxia kept urging on the phone.Zhao Lei knew that this was already the limit of Wu Jianshe’s funding. Even if Wu Jianshe successfully captured the second steel market, there was no extra operating capital.
As expected, the capital chain of Shengergang broke and was acquired by Xu Banxia from Wu Jianshe at an extremely low price.
When Zhao Lei stopped Xu Banxia from bidding for the provincial Ergang, the two almost broke up. However, it prevented Xu Banxia from going bankrupt. If Zhao Lei had not returned to the three sacrifices, there would not be a steel kingdom for Xu Banxia in the future.
