Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but cover his face. Fang Mingyuan was speechless. He didn't know why this old man liked to lead red lines between his granddaughter and Fang Mingyuan so much, and even resorted to such despicable methods as "bribery".

I don’t know how Angelina would feel about her biological grandfather if she saw this scene.

"Chief Welf, that is absolutely impossible!" Guo Qing'er, who was following Fang Mingyuan, took two steps forward, hugged Fan Mingyuan's arm and said with a dissatisfied expression, "Brother Mingyuan would not do such a dishonest thing.

What about the immoral things! Don’t tarnish love with money!”

Old Welf was startled for a moment and laughed dumbly. Naturally, he would not get angry with Guo Qing'er over this. Instead, he said to Fang Mingyuan: "Fang, I hope you, Chairman Yu, and Chairman Guo can put this matter of Miss Guo

This rare innocence has been preserved."

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Old Welf, wouldn't it be great to have one more angel with a pure heart in this world?"

Old Welf smiled and stopped worrying about this issue, and instead introduced his manor to Fang Mingyuan. The manor covers an area of ​​9,000 acres, and has a lake, a horse farm, a vineyard and a

The manor is surrounded by dense forests and rivers. There are many buildings in the manor, with 37 bedrooms alone. It also has a spa, two gyms, a small playground, and an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. And

In history, many famous people in Europe have owned or stayed here. This made Fang Mingyuan lament the profound heritage of the Welf family. No member of the Welf family has as much wealth as

Compared with himself, the overall economic strength of the Welf family is far above him.

After sitting down in the living room, Old Welf waved, and a Caucasian man in his fifties stood next to him. "Fang, he is Edward, the housekeeper here. While you are here,

If you need anything, just ask him." Old Welf turned to the butler Edward and said, "Edward, this Mr. Fang is a distinguished guest of the Welf family. You have to remember that if he needs anything,

Do your best to be satisfied!”

"As you wish, patriarch!" Edward, the butler, bowed.

"Fang, you have come a long way, so you should go and rest for a while. After dinner, we will talk about business again," Old Welf said.

Fang Mingyuan and Guo Qing'er looked at each other. Fang Mingyuan stood up and said, "Then I'll just do as the guest does."

After dinner, Fang Mingyuan and Old Welf walked on the bluestone path of the manor. Old Welf said: "Fang, as you said, the price of iron ore has begun to rise significantly in the international market this year.

It has risen. And in this case, I have to say that your country’s strong import demand has played a considerable role.”

In March 2005, after multiple rounds of negotiations, China's Shanghai Iron and Steel Group Corporation had to accept the agreement between Japan's largest steel company Nippon Steel and the world's largest iron ore producer Vale of Brazil.

The agreement was reached to increase the price of iron ore by 69% in 2005. This means that in the international market, the price of iron ore has hit a new high in the past twenty years. It also means that as a global

China, a major importer of iron ore, will spend nearly US$30 billion more in purchasing costs in 2000 due to rising iron ore prices.

World public opinion generally believes that the reason why iron ore producers dare to offer such high prices is because in 2004, global pig iron production increased significantly - an increase from 2003.

More than 62 million tons. The increase exceeded 91%, and among this, the increase in China's pig iron production accounted for 80% of the total increase!

"Old Welf. The Japanese are very cunning. In this matter, they actually made the most profit, but all the infamy was taken by others." Fang Mingyuan said with a bitter smile.

Old Welf nodded. Of course he also understood that there must be someone behind the sharp rise in iron ore. Fang Mingyuan once analyzed the role of Japanese companies in it for him. It can be said that

, the notoriety of rising iron ore prices has been borne by China and iron ore manufacturers. The Japanese not only took this opportunity to attack their peers and weakened the momentum of China's economic growth, but also benefited from the rising iron ore prices.

Achieved huge profits and became the biggest winner in this event.

"I think you are also very cunning. You have pushed Vale and others to take the blame." Old Welf said with a smile. Nippon Steel and Brazil's Vale reached an agreement to increase the price of iron ore by 10%.

Once the Sixty-Nine Agreement was made public, the original dissatisfaction among the Welf family about the old Welf's acquisition of Haiping Mining Company's shares was immediately wiped out. Moreover, on the board of directors of the Aselock Group Company, the Welf family and

Fang Mingyuan's voice also received more respect. This made old Welf feel very good.

Of course, Old Welf was also a little worried. According to the original agreement between the two parties, if the price of iron ore in the international market was below sixty-five dollars, the Fang family and the Welf family were determined based on the agreement between the two parties in Haiping Mining Company.

shares to obtain dividend income, and if the price of iron ore exceeds US$65, then all the extra income will belong to the Fang family. At that time, old Welf felt that the international market price of iron ore could be between

If the price of thirty-three dollars has been maintained, it is a very good result. If it can rise to sixty dollars, it will be an unexpected surprise! But he did not expect anything, but after a year, the iron ore mine

The international market price of iron ore jumped to nearly fifty-six US dollars! Even if the price of iron ore remains at this level for two or three years, the Welf family's investment in Haiping Mining Company can recover more than half of it, and the resulting losses

The benefits are difficult to measure in terms of money.

It's just... even if iron ore only rises by 20% next year, it means that old Welf has made a mistake on this issue and handed over the huge profits that could have belonged to the Welf family to Fang Mingyuan.

Will the international market price of iron ore rise next year? On May 2, the World Steel Association issued a forecast, believing that the global demand for steel products in 2005 will likely reach 1 billion 400 million yuan.

million tons, an increase of 4.1% over 2004, and exceeding the 1 billion tons mark for the first time. At the same time, they also predict that the global demand for steel products in 2006 will reach 1 billion and 50 million tons.

tons or more. After years of testing, the predictions of the International Iron and Steel Association still have a certain reference value. Such strong demand for finished products will naturally drive the rise of raw materials!

Therefore, Old Welf feels that it is certain that the price of iron ore will rise next year. What is not certain is just the magnitude of the increase!

"According to us Chinese people, this is to use their own methods to deal with them!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Although he now controls Haiping Mining Company and CMM Company, the combined annual output of iron ore of the two companies is

It can reach nearly 70 million tons, but compared with old mining companies such as Vale and BHP Billiton, there is still a big gap. Last year, Brazil's Vale's iron ore output reached more than 270 million tons.

In other words, the total output of Fang Mingyuan's two companies is only a fraction of Vale's output. If the iron ore output of Rio Tinto Group and BHP Billiton are also included, their share will undoubtedly be even smaller.

.And these three major companies not only produce iron ore, they are also mining other mineral resources. If Haiping Mining Company and CMM Company compete with them, they will only be beaten to death, so the Fang family’s choice

Just follow the crowd!

"I can only say that I admire your vision!" Old Welf said with deep emotion. He was able to see that the price of iron ore in the world market would rise significantly many years ago, thus investing huge sums of money.

To develop the mining areas in Western Australia, such an investment plan is something that even those big families would not dare to make lightly.

"By the way, how many ships does Guo's Shipping Group currently have that can transport ore?" Old Welf asked.

"There are currently 91 ships of more than 100,000 tons, and the deadweight tonnage can reach about 15 million tons. However, by September, there will be 124 ships, and the deadweight tonnage can reach 21 million.

About tons." Fang Mingyuan said.

"Why did it grow so fast?" Old Welf asked in surprise. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. If the information he queried was correct, wouldn't it mean that Guo's Shipping Group had more than 100,000 tons?

The transport capacity of the transport ships can account for more than 8% of the current global fleet of the same type! This transport capacity has to be said to be quite astonishing.

"We will take back some of the ships leased to other shipping companies, and will also receive a batch of 200,000-ton ore ships from the shipyard, plus a batch of ships previously acquired from other shipping companies." Fang Mingyuan explained.

Now that he knew that iron ore would rise sharply and shipping rates would also rise sharply, how could Fang Mingyuan not prepare in advance. Just so as not to alert the snake, and not to attract the attention of other shipping companies around the world, especially Japanese and Korean shipping companies, all

All of this is done as secretly as possible.

"By March next year, Guo's Shipping Group will also receive twelve 200,000-ton ore carriers, thus ensuring the demand for transportation capacity in response to the rapid growth of cargo in the international transportation market." Fang Mingyuan said.

Old Welf looked at Fang Mingyuan and said after a long while: "You are great!" (Want to know more exciting news about "Rebirth of Resource Tycoon"? Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner, and choose to add friends
