It is no secret that the Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company plans to build a railway directly connecting Beijing and Tangshan. The Tangshan City Government and the Yanxing Provincial Government are lobbying for this matter. The Beijing City Government is actually quite interested. After all, there is no need.

Spending your own money to build an additional railway connecting Beijing and Tangshan is a good thing for the import and export of Beijing.

For some reasons, the capital does not like to use Jincheng Port for maritime transportation. This is why the capital promotes the construction of Tangshan Port. However, the construction of Tangshan Port has been completed, but there is no direct railway from Tangshan to the capital.

All railway lines have to go around other cities to reach Tangshan, which undoubtedly increases the transportation cost. The road transportation between the two places is not so complete. It can be said that the transportation of goods is limited by transportation capacity. If it can

The construction of a direct railway from Beijing to Tangshan will not only increase the passenger transportation capacity, but also allow a large number of goods to be transported between the two places through the railway. This is of great significance for the import and export of goods from Beijing to further get rid of the constraints of Jincheng Port.

And building a railway, although it is only about 200 kilometers from Tangshan to the capital, requires huge investment, it can still play a certain role in boosting the GDP of the capital.

However, this plan is currently stuck with the Ministry of Railways. The Ministry of Railways has been slow to grant approval on the grounds that there has never been a private enterprise to build and operate a railway between two important cities. Even Su Huandong mentioned it on some occasions.

Big Brother Tie cannot stick to the rules without thinking about changes, but it will have no effect.

Of course, Xu Shutong also understood that there is no free pie in the sky. Not to mention that the Fang family's companies are all private companies, even if they are state-owned enterprises, they cannot unconditionally help Beijing Iron and Steel Group Company to do these things. The other party also told the truth frankly,

It is true that he wants something from Jingcheng Iron and Steel Group Company. As for what it is, Yu Chonghai will know it when he comes.

Over the past few days, the board of directors of Beijing Iron and Steel Group Corporation has discussed it many times, and the final conclusion is that as long as the Fang family's request is not excessive, they must agree to it. They have tight schedules and heavy tasks, and they have no trump card to refuse the Fang family's "goodwill."

.

Yu Chonghai and the others arrived very quickly. They arrived at the hotel almost at the same time as Xu Shutong. Xu Shutong went to the hotel door to greet him in person, which naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. However, Yu Chonghai didn't come to the capital often and he was not an industry insider.

, most people still don’t recognize him.

"Mr. Yu, I have asked the hotel restaurant to arrange dinner. The chefs specially invited from the Qinxi Provincial Office in Beijing and Fangjia Restaurant will ensure that you can eat authentic Qinxi-style dishes." Xu Shutong said with a smile.

Yu Chonghai was originally a native of Qinxi Province and a middle-level manager of Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company. He was later transferred to Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company as a manager and gradually rose to the position of general manager.

"Chairman Xu is interested." Yu Chonghai smiled and said, "I wonder if Chairman Xu and Miao always plan to talk first, or while eating?"

"Of course we are just following the guests!" Xu Shutong laughed.

"Then let's talk first. After we finish talking, we can have dinner so that everyone can have more sex." Yu Chonghai said with a smile. "If we talk faster, we won't have to worry about everyone's heart."

"Of course that's fine. We've been guessing these days, but we still can't figure it out. We're just waiting for Mr. Yu to poke holes in the window." Miao Chunhui said with a smile.

A group of people entered the room and sat down in the living room. At Yu Chonghai's signal, everyone except the three of them left, and Yu Chonghai smiled and said: "Actually, it's just a window paper.

The two of them will understand after one poke. What Mr. Fang means is... I hope that the Capital Iron and Steel Group Company will support the Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company to participate in next year's iron ore price negotiations as a representative of private enterprises in the steel industry!"

"Ah?" Xu Shutong and Miao Chunhui couldn't help but exclaimed at the same time. They thought about it, but they didn't expect that the Fang family actually had this idea!

"Chairman Xu and Mr. Miao are both elites in the industry, and they must be very clear about the current situation of my country's steel industry. I don't need to say anything more. I just want to ask you two questions. Haibao Steel Group Company represents my country's steel industry. In the past few years, companies have participated in iron ore price negotiations, have they achieved any impressive results? Nowadays, the production capacity of domestic private steel companies has accounted for more than 40% of the total production capacity. Are their interests qualified to launch My representative?" Yu Chonghai looked directly into the eyes of the two people and said bluntly.

Xu Shutong and Miao Chunhui glanced at each other, and saw full of surprise in each other's eyes. Both of them were sensible people, so they naturally knew that Haibao Steel Group Company, as the representative of China's steel industry, was closely related to the three

Large mining companies have had several price negotiations, but they have never been successful. Each time, after the three major mining companies reached an agreement with steel companies from other countries, they had to passively accept it due to international iron ore price generation rules.

New price for iron ore.

In fact, some people in the domestic steel industry have long been dissatisfied with this. However, Haibao Steel Group Company is a domestic steel giant and a very large state-owned enterprise. The profit margin is lower than that of these state-owned super-large and large steel companies in China.

China is among the best, and the amount of iron ore it imports every year is also at the forefront of these domestic companies. It has government support behind it, so even if some people are dissatisfied, it cannot shake the status of Haibao Steel Group.

Although Yu Chonghai is telling the truth, with the government's liberalization of investment in the steel industry, a large amount of private capital has entered this industry. Up to now, a large number of private large-scale steel companies have grown up, and among them there is no doubt that the

Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. has the best development, and its current production capacity has firmly ranked first in the country, even higher than the production capacity of Haibao Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd.! But if Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. is in trouble because of this, it requires that it be represented by a private steel enterprise

As a member of the international iron ore price negotiations, I am afraid it will be difficult to get recognition from above.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether our Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. fights for this or not. Whether the price of iron ore purchased overseas is high or low, it doesn't have a big impact on us, and from a certain perspective

Generally speaking, the price of iron ore has been rising, which is more beneficial to us." Yu Chonghai said leisurely.

Xu Shutong frowned. He also knew that the Fang family had set up a company to invest in mines in Western Australia a few years ago when the price of iron ore was still low. At that time, many people in the country still laughed at the Fang family for wasting their money.

The cost of mining iron ore has long exceeded the international market price. It can be said that the more you dig, the more you will lose. Who would have thought that only a few years later, the price of iron ore in the international market

It will continue to rise like this. Now, the Fang family's mining company in Western Australia is said to have an annual iron ore output of 40 million tons, and it must have made a lot of money.

That's why Yu Chonghai said that in the international market, the pricing of iron ore has no impact on the purchase of iron ore by Liao Iron and Steel Group Company. If the price is higher or lower, it is just a left hand to the right hand.

"It was Mr. Fang who had a long-term vision and was able to lay out Western Australia early, which is why today's fruitful results have been achieved!" Miao Chunhui said with emotion. After Beijing Iron and Steel Group Company moved to Tangshan, although Tangshan also had iron ore, it still

A considerable part of iron ore needs to be imported from overseas. Just look at the current price of iron ore, and then look at the price of steel. Sometimes Miao Chunhui really has no motivation. Most of the profits are taken by the three major mines.

It was swallowed up.

"Haha, thank you Mr. Miao for the compliment." Yu Chonghai said with a smile, "But we, Mr. Fang, see everyone give up most of their profits every year because of the sharp increase in the price of iron ore, but leave the pollution in the country.

, everyone just earns hard-earned money, which is really unacceptable, so I hope Liao Iron and Steel Group Company will come forward to compete. I want to have the qualifications to negotiate!"

"But... in the past few years, Haibao Steel Group Corporation has negotiated on behalf of my country's steel industry. If there is another one, will those giants admit it? And this is the case in Japan and South Korea. Nippon Steel Corporation and Posco Steel Corporation to come forward as representatives." Miao Chunhui said hesitantly. He heard it. Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company actually wanted to kick out the under-performing Haibao Steel Group Company, but considering the actual situation, it was not possible That's why he proposed to participate in the negotiations as a representative of domestic private steel companies. But... he was also a little strange in his heart. It was a fact that Haibao Iron and Steel Group Company performed poorly, but Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company came up. Can it be changed?

"First. Japan imported 1.4 billion tons of iron ore last year, and South Korea imported 0.5 billion tons of iron ore. How much did we import? We imported 280 million tons! The sum of Japan and South Korea cannot reach the same level.

Given our quantity, why can’t we have two negotiators? Secondly, the concentration of steel companies in Japan and South Korea is high. A few large companies can account for more than 70% of domestic steel production! This is the situation in our country

? How much of the production capacity of Haibao Steel Group Company in the country can it account for? Thirdly, Japan and South Korea are both the largest steel companies in the country and have come forward to negotiate. Why is Liao Province Iron and Steel Group Company not qualified when it comes to us? "

Yu Chonghai asked rhetorically.

"Mr. Yu, in fact, everyone understands this issue, but Haibao Iron and Steel Group Company has been recognized by the leaders above. If Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company wants to obtain this qualification, it also needs the approval of the leaders." Xu Shutong said.

Xu Di said. Of course, Jingcheng Iron and Steel Group Company does not have a good impression of Haibao Iron and Steel Group Company. The little brother who used to follow behind him has now gone in front of him, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

"Of course we need the approval of our leaders, but we also need the support of our peers! Only with the strong support of our peers can we get enough attention and be able to better convince our leaders," Yu Chonghai said, spreading his hands.

Xu Shutong and Miao Chunhui looked at each other, and they could see a bit of embarrassment in each other's eyes. This matter... is simple, simple! It's troublesome, but it's really troublesome! To say it's simple, isn't it just a matter of touching your lips and signing a contract?

I want to express my support. I say trouble because the consequences of doing so may offend Haibao Steel Group Company and some people. Although Jingcheng Iron and Steel Group Company has now withdrawn from the ranks of the top domestic steel companies in terms of output.

, but it is still one of the top ten steel companies in the country, and it is located in Beijing, so it still has a great influence in the industry. If it expresses its support for Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, it will still have a great influence in the industry.

The two of them also had some difficulty in making a decision. As for the Haibao Iron and Steel Group Company, the Jingcheng Iron and Steel Group Company naturally did not want it to be the sole leader. It would also be a good thing to use the help of the Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company to make it lose some face. Moreover, the Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company and the Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company

Haibao Iron and Steel Group Company is fighting, and they are happy to watch the excitement, but if they stand on the side of Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, then they will also be involved in this turmoil. In that case, the Fang family's

These benefits seem to be somewhat unworthy.

"Chairman Xu and Mr. Miao should know that Hong Kong's Baifusheng Investment Company is the second largest shareholder of Australia's Katsk Metal Group, right?" Yu Chonghai said.

Xu Shutong and Miao Chunhui nodded, but did not speak. This matter was not a big news in the industry at the time, and of course they knew about it. However, the current production capacity of Katsk Metal Group is still under development, and it can really export a large amount to the outside world.

The supply of iron ore may not be available until around 2009, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. Moreover, Hong Kong's Baifusheng Investment Company is only the second largest shareholder and cannot completely influence the decisions of Katsk Metal Group, so this bargaining chip

It has more of a symbolic meaning.

"So do you two know that we also have a large number of shares in Brazilian CMM company?" Yu Chonghai continued.

Xu Shutong's hand holding the cup couldn't help but trembled, and he almost spilled the tea. Miao Chunhui, who was sitting next to him, choked on the cigarette in his throat, causing him to cough.

Neither of them expected that Fang Ju actually had a secret hand in CMM! CMM is the second largest mining company in Brazil and is known as the company most likely to become the fourth largest mining company after the three major mining companies.

!The annual output of iron ore it controls is as high as 60 to 70 million tons!

If the iron ore production capacity of Haiping Mining Company can only meet the needs of Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, then if the production capacity of CMM Company is added, even if it is only half, it can transport almost 30 million tons of iron ore to China!

For these domestic steel companies, as the price of iron ore continues to rise today, if they can reach a long-term agreement with CMM Company, they will have a stable source of raw materials instead of going to the market to buy those products with a long-term agreement.

Iron ore, which is much more expensive and whose supply is still unstable, is now available! (To be continued.)
