Resource Tycoon Reborn

When the two of them saw with their own eyes that under Xia Wen's control, the roof slowly separated from left to right, revealing the beautiful starry sky, the Milky Way stretching across the sky immediately attracted Fang Mingyuan's eyes.

"Well, this was already taken into consideration when designing and building these houses, so the roof design is controllable. After opening it, you can watch the stars in the sky while lying on the bed. There is also a glass cover.

, which can guarantee that sleep will not be affected even in rainy, snowy days or winter." Xia Wen said with a smile, "If the cost of building these houses is so high, one would be this, and the other would be solar energy and domestic waste.

Dispose of it harmlessly.”

"That's great! In this way, you can sleep peacefully under the stars even in the coldest or hottest time!" Lin Rong said excitedly. Think about it, you can see the beautiful scenery every night when you lie in bed.

Is there anything more romantic than this in the night sky? Fang Mingyuan was really surprised by it.

However, Xia Wen came here not to tell Fang Mingyuan and the others that there was another secret on the roof here.

"Master Fang, the infrastructure construction of the Karasuo mining area has basically been completed, and trial mining can be started at any time. I am confident that the annual output of the mining area will be increased to six million tons before the end of the year, and will reach more than 10 million tons next year. However,

Judging from the current price of iron ore in the international market, our mining costs are nearly 10% higher than the market price! This is despite the fact that the international market price of iron ore has increased in recent years.

So, after thinking about it, I think we should slow down some of the mining progress?" Xia Wen said solemnly.

Regarding this issue, he has had several exchanges with Fang Mingyuan, but the two have never been able to reach an agreement on the scale of mining after the construction of the Kalaso mining area. In Xia Wen's view, even if the Kalaso mining area is supplied to the Fang family

It is used by its own steel plants to reduce the possibility of being choked by mining companies, but it is not worth paying such a high price. Moreover, the Fang family's current iron ore industry in China requires almost all of the iron ore in China every year.

It can be provided. No matter what Xia Wen thinks, he still can't figure out why Fang Mingyuan must quickly increase production in the Kalaso mining area?

Wouldn't it mean that the more production areas there are, the more serious the losses will be? Even if the Fang family has a big business and has invested huge sums of money in building the Kalaso mining area and logistics system, if the production areas are still producing at such a large loss, then how can it be?

Hasn't it become a bottomless pit? Although Fang Mingyuan has made his attitude very clear, Xia Wen still wants to try again and talk to Fang Mingyuan about this matter again! Although doing so may make Fang Mingyuan feel dissatisfied, but

Xia Wen felt that he should fulfill his responsibility as the person in charge of Haiping Mining Company.

Fang Mingyuan watched Xia Wen look directly into his eyes, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Wen, you are really a...serious and responsible person. Okay, okay, let me tell you this, why do I insist?"

The Karasuo mining area must expand its production scale and produce as much as possible rather than losing money, because I believe that iron ore is about to face an international wave of price increases! And it is very close!"

Xia Wen was immediately startled, his eyes widened, he looked at Fang Mingyuan and said, "Young Master Fang, how is this possible?" In today's international market, although it is said that the economies of various countries have changed from the Southeast Asian financial crisis in 1997,

There are signs of recovery from the series of blows after the outbreak, and the price of iron ore in the international market has also rebounded. However, overall, the supply of iron ore in the international market still exceeds demand. Otherwise, why would the three major mining companies bother?

Reduce scale and close some mines with higher mining costs?

"How is it possible? How is it impossible?" Fang Mingyuan said calmly.

Xia Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Young Master Fang, it can be said that the infrastructure construction in European and American countries has been basically completed, and there is a large amount of scrap steel in each country that can be remelted and re-refined. Over the years, the country's steel industry has been in a state of decline.

In the process of shrinking, you mean...our country will vigorously develop the steel industry again and import a large amount of iron ore?" Xia Wen suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Mingyuan in surprise.

This result is not difficult to calculate. If iron ore prices will rise significantly in the foreseeable future, then there must be countries that import iron ore on a large scale. Needless to say, European and American countries, including Japan, can

It is not easy to maintain the current scale of the steel industry, and it is impossible to expand significantly. In these emerging countries, Brazil and India have large iron ore production, which can not only meet the needs of their own countries, but also produce large quantities of iron ore.

exports, even if they vigorously develop the steel industry, the country's resources are enough to ensure their supply. Although it will also have an impact on the supply of iron ore in the international market, it is not enough to reach the scale mentioned by Fang Mingyuan.

Only China has the urge to vigorously develop the steel industry, as well as the financial resources of the government, and there is a precedent! Now everyone in the international market knows that once China imports something on a large scale, the price will soar; and something,

Once China is able to mass produce and export, prices will fall to the ground!

"Yes, the annual domestic steel production is increasing year by year, and in the next few years, there will be an extremely obvious improvement." Fang Mingyuan nodded. Although he knew that doing this would bring

There are various disadvantages, but after the domestic steel industry is liberalized to private capital, a large number of private capital with nowhere to go will naturally pour in. In the following years, China's large-scale infrastructure construction, as well as the real estate industry,

The rise of the automobile industry and shipbuilding industry has in turn greatly promoted the development of the domestic steel industry. This is the general trend of domestic development. No one can forcefully stop it. Even he can only guide it as much as possible.

, rather than blocking.

"Obvious improvement?" Xia Wen repeated.

"Obvious improvement!" Fang Mingyuan said seriously, "Since my country established the Shanghai Iron and Steel Group Corporation in the 1980s, it has begun to import overseas steel resources. According to customs statistics, in the past twenty years, my country has imported a total of iron ore The ore reached one billion tons, and in the past five years, the annual import of iron ore has reached more than 90 million tons! Last year, domestic pig iron production was about 150 million tons, of which domestic ore supply accounted for About 61%, the ore supply from overseas is nearly 100 million tons, accounting for nearly 40%. Among them, iron ore from Australia and Brazil account for 60% of all overseas iron ore. Seven or eight!”

Xia Wen took a deep breath. He naturally knew this information, but when he heard Fang Mingyuan say it today, he felt another kind of shock. He couldn't help but think that long before the Southeast Asian financial crisis broke out in 1997, he

He was sent to Australia by Fang Mingyuan to seek to establish his own mining company. Could it be said that at that time, Fang Mingyuan had already seen today and thought that the international market price of iron ore in the world would skyrocket? If that were the case...

His eyes were too scary.

"And did you know that in the country, every province is planning to launch large-scale steel companies, which can easily produce millions of tons of steel. Not only is the grade of domestic ore low, but the output is also difficult to meet demand, so many companies will

Turning our attention to overseas... How can such a large import volume not make those mining companies overjoyed?" Fang Mingyuan sneered. Fundamentally speaking, Fang Mingyuan is not opposed to companies increasing overseas import resources and preserving their own country.

However, this is based on the premise that doing so is in the interests of the country and its people. But now, the huge raw material gap has intensified the dependence on imported ores. As the degree of dependence increases,

Importers naturally have more and more control over pricing power. This result undoubtedly harms the interests of their own countries.

The steel industry has been blindly launched. Although a large amount of steel has been produced, most of it is low-end products. In the international market, they cannot be sold at a high price. Instead, they are often bought by companies in European and American countries and re-smelted into high-end steel products for sale back home.

Domestically, they can earn huge profits. Moreover, these domestic enterprises are far from being able to compare with foreign enterprises of the same scale in terms of environmental protection and work efficiency. The result is that the domestic steel industry has a negative impact on the domestic economy.

When developing at a high speed, a certain profit rate can be guaranteed, but once the international and domestic economies experience significant fluctuations, the profit rate will decline significantly.

Fang Mingyuan once remembered that some people in the steel industry lamented that the profit earned by a company from producing one ton of steel was not enough to buy a box of ice cream in the market. And who can blame this? There is a serious excess of steel production capacity, and a large number of products

The downgrading of products has made it impossible to export them to the international market. Such a result is reasonable.

"Master Fang, are you sure that the international market price of iron ore will definitely rise in the near future?"

Understandable.

"It will definitely rise! There will definitely be signs next year at the latest!" Fang Mingyuan said firmly.

"Okay, I believe you! I will try my best to expand the production capacity of the Karasuo mining area!" Xia Wen said solemnly.

"Well, I'll leave it to you in the future!" Fang Mingyuan patted his shoulder and said. With Xia Wen's words, Fang Mingyuan felt more at ease. With at least 20 million tons of exported iron ore from the Kalaso mining area

, coupled with the production capacity of CMM Company, the Fang family will be in an invincible position in the future "iron ore war".

But what to do next, Fang Mingyuan still needs to plan carefully. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
