"Actually, he has another idea, but this is my own judgment." Aso said, "I think he seems to be interested in acquiring a steel plant in the United States."

"New Lippetok Steel Company intends to acquire steel plants in the United States?" Fang Mingyuan sat up straight with some surprise. This Petrov is quite courageous. In order to avoid the United States from introducing similar protective tariff increases in the future,

They actually plan to open the factory directly in the United States.

This policy implemented by the U.S. government in 2002 also had a certain impact on China's steel exports to the United States. However, compared with its previous life, the impact was much smaller. That was because members of the Special Steel Association

The emergence of jointly established steel export companies. Members of the Special Steel Association basically export steel through the export company. This reduces the phenomenon of self-lowering prices by major steel companies in order to increase exports in the previous life.

, the price of steel exported to the United States is higher, and the profit margin is naturally much higher. In this way, the steel companies in the United States will naturally not use the excuse of product dumping.

Another point is that Fang Mingyuan used his influence in the United States to make the steel products exported to the United States by members of the Special Steel Association basically either not on the list of additional tariffs, or even if they were, most of them were subject to an additional 8% tariff.

to 10%. In this way, the impact of this policy of the US government on China's steel exports will be reduced by more than half.

When the United States implements this policy, the greater impact on China is not actually exports, but imports! After the United States implemented this tariff policy, the number of steel exports to the United States from Japan, the European Union, and Russia, the world's major steel producers, increased.

There has been a significant decline, but the export volume to China has increased significantly, at least by 30% to 50%. Such a large amount of steel products are sold to China at low prices. It has undoubtedly had a serious impact on China's steel industry. Domestic steel

The poor performance of the industry from last year to this year is largely due to this reason.

And if you build a factory in the United States, you will naturally avoid the restrictions of U.S. tariffs. Moreover, the U.S. steel industry is now in a stage of decline. Many domestic steel companies are in operating difficulties. Several major steel companies in the United States

The company is also actively carrying out restructuring and mergers and acquisitions. But...does Petrov have the confidence to run a steel company in the United States? Can a Russian company adapt to the operating conditions here in the United States?

"Petrov is very ambitious. Not only did he have his eye on the American steel market, he also thought about acquiring domestic steel companies in China, thereby bypassing the Chinese government's import controls and expanding New Lipetok's

The steel company's share in the Chinese steel market!" Aso Xiangyue said softly, leaning on Fang Mingyuan's arm, "He heard on the way here that you are also in the United States, so he wanted to meet you. In Russia, the economic situation has been very bad recently.

No, it’s not easy for companies to get loans.”

Fang Mingyuan suddenly realized. The New Lippetok Steel Company is also a well-known steel company in the Russian steel industry. Naturally, loans will not be as difficult as ordinary companies, but this also depends on the situation. If it is a huge loan, those banks in Russia dare to

For loans, the conditions are probably more stringent. If you can get a loan from an overseas bank, sometimes the conditions are even better than those of domestic banks in Russia.

"What do you think of his acquisition intention?" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said. Of course, he is not as familiar with the current situation of Russia's New Lippetok Steel Company as Aso Xiangyue. If this Petrov is really

If you are talented, then it is not impossible to do this. In previous lives, foreign companies' acquisitions of American steel companies were not without success.

Aso Xiangyue turned over, lying in Fang Mingyuan's arms in a more comfortable position and said: "I don't have the same vision as you, I can only speak based on my own feelings."

Fang Mingyuan was speechless, patted her gently on the buttocks and said, "The Queen of the Russian business world, is there a time when she is so humble? You look like this, which makes many men feel uncomfortable?" The news came back from Russia,

As the woman who controlled the most wealth in the business world in the former Soviet Union, Russian men nicknamed her the Queen of Business.

Aso Xiangyue twisted her body and said softly: "The business queen is what those boring men say. How can I call you a queen in front of you?"

Fang Mingyuan only felt that the fire was rising in his heart again. Aso Xiangyue, who also felt it, was also startled and quickly turned to the outside. She could not withstand another round of frenzy now, otherwise, she might not even be able to eat.

I'm too lazy to go, let alone go shopping with Uda Mitsuri in the evening.

Fang Mingyuan also moved back, sat up straight, leaned on the bed, picked up the water glass on the bedside table, drank two sips of water, and then calmed down the anger in his heart and said, "Let's talk about it.

I also want to hear your opinion."

"Petrov is a man of great courage and means. In his hands, the New Lippetok Steel Company has developed very rapidly in recent years and accumulated considerable wealth. He did not take it seriously.

This wealth was squandered, but he continued to increase investment in the New Lippetok Steel Company, which also made his share of shares in the New Lippetok Steel Company increasing. However, although

He is already the controlling shareholder, but on important issues, he still respects the opinions of other shareholders and does not act arbitrarily." Aso Xiangyue said slowly and authentically. Fang Mingyuan listened carefully, and slowly began to feel sorry for Petrov in his heart.

People have a general understanding.

Judging from the information obtained from Aso Xiangyue, Petrov is very ambitious and scheming, but he is not annoying. The New Lippetok Steel Company can achieve today's results because of his

Her contribution is indispensable. Aso Xiangyue has merged some of her steel plants into the New Lippetok Steel Company, and the benefits obtained are quite satisfactory. Otherwise, she would not agree to help Petrov

Make the connection and introduce him to Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time. Although the Russian economy is not optimistic now, Fang Mingyuan knows that it will not be long before the price of crude oil in the international crude oil market will embark on an upward trend, and this time, it will climb to 180

At more than ten US dollars, this price is enough to make everyone feel incredible. As a major producer and exporter of crude oil in the world, the Russian economy has greatly increased its foreign exchange reserves in the era of high oil prices, and its economy has also entered a high-speed road. It is conceivable that in the future, Russia

The domestic demand for steel is definitely considerable. As long as there are no fundamental mistakes, the future profit prospects of the New Lippetok Steel Company will definitely be good.

"I think you can meet him. Anyway, I'm just responsible for introducing him to you. As for whether you agree to him or not, I don't care." Aso Xiangyue smiled, "I personally think you have many friends in Russia.

Not bad. Podlov’s reputation in Russia is still good.”

"Okay, it's up to you. Then I'll see who this polar bear is." Fang Mingyuan's heart moved and he nodded in agreement.

Aso Xiangyue's words reminded him that there are indeed few real powerful people he knows in Russia today. Except for the old Belevsky, Hordokovsky, and a few Chudakar, the others

It can be said that all relationships were forged by Aso Kozuki. Although Aso Kozuki is known as the Queen of Business in Russia, it is not difficult for those high-level figures to know that she is actually the Fang family's agent in Russia. Agent

No matter how much authority and trust a person has, in the eyes of many people, he is still not as good as the boss.

Nowadays, the Fang family’s shares in the New Lippetok Steel Company have become the second largest shareholder. Although it does not affect Petrov’s controlling interest, it must be combined with the Fang family’s influence on the New Lippetok Steel Company.

Regarding the supply of coal, iron ore, and electricity, even Petrov dared not ignore the Fang family’s opinions. Haha, fifty percent of the coal, iron ore, and one-third of the electricity supply, said that the Fang family was stuck

It is not too much to limit the energy supply of New Lippetok Steel Company. Moreover, the Fang family's influence in China, Japan, and the United States is enough to affect the export of New Lippetok Steel Company's products, which also makes Aso Xiangyue

In front of Petrov, there is no slight disadvantage.

It is natural for Petrov to want to get to know him better. As for the issue of investment and loans he wants to get from the Fang family, Fang Mingyuan doesn't think he can draw any conclusions from just one meeting. After all, he has the intention of launching a new project.

In the industrial world, it is often a process that uses years as the unit of measurement until implementation can actually begin. But not everyone can be like Fang Mingyuan, who knows the general trend of the future, has relatively sufficient funds, and has no constraints.

Decision-making power, so we can make decisions quickly. For projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which decision-maker does not make a decision before looking forward and thinking over and over again.

Even if Fang Mingyuan immediately agrees to help New Lippetok Steel Company obtain a loan, whether Petrov can find a suitable acquisition target is another matter.

At this moment, Uda Mitsuri suddenly opened the door and walked in. He took Fang Mingyuan's mobile phone and said: "The domestic caller said it was Zhou Ning from Nanjing Iron and Steel Group."

"Zhou Ning from Nangang Group?" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but wonder, what was Zhou Ning doing with him at this time?

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, this is Fang Mingyuan!" Fang Mingyuan answered the phone and said.

Zhou Ning's somewhat anxious voice came from the phone: "Master Fang, I'm sorry to bother you, but you have to help me, otherwise Nanjing Iron and Steel Group will have problems." (To be continued...)
