Resource Tycoon Reborn

January 1, 2007, New Year's Day! On this day, Bulgaria and Romania officially joined the European Union and became members of the European Union; Irish became one of the official languages ​​of the European Union; Slovenia decided to use the euro as its currency; South Korea

Ban Ki-moon officially succeeded Kofi Annan as the new Secretary-General of the United Nations... But these things are not what Fang Mingyuan needs to worry about. He is receiving Su Aimin from afar in his courtyard in the ancient city of Pingchuan.

"Second uncle, why did you come here suddenly? You didn't say hello in advance." Fang Mingyuan filled the tea cup in front of Su Aimin and said with a smile.

"Come and see Lao San. I heard he said you were in Pingchuan, so I stopped by to see you." Su Aimin said, "Look at the core figures who have made the domestic steel industry and the three major mining companies miserable." Shui Zhizhong and others

His arrest was driven by Fang Mingyuan. The spy door in the previous life made the whole country uproar. Even the Chinese who didn’t care about such things knew more or less, not to mention that Fang Mingyuan could barely be regarded as half of the industry.

The people were naturally deeply impressed. Since they knew that there was such a thing, they naturally wanted to make good use of it, so Fang Mingyuan had told Su Huandong about it a long time ago.

I paid more attention, but it was only now that I caught them in one fell swoop.

"I just think that the second uncle is complimenting me." Fang Mingyuan chuckled.

"You have severely punished these domestic steel companies and the three major mining companies this time." Su Aimin picked up the teacup, took a sip and continued, "Hey, this time, Haibao Steel Group Company and Steel

The industrial association is being honest." In the past year, he has devoted most of his energy to the pilot project of banning fishing in the Yangtze River and paid little attention to domestic affairs. However, Liao Iron and Steel Group Corporation is interested in participating in iron ore price negotiations.

However, he has been paying attention. He originally thought that Liao Iron and Steel Group Company was likely to be in trouble this time, but he did not expect that such a thing would break out at this time.

As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, he is in the capital, so his understanding of this matter is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people. Don't look at the fact that there are only 11 heads of domestic steel companies. Four are from the China Iron and Steel Industry Association.

staff were questioned and scrutinized by the security agencies, and seven of them were detained. But this is just the beginning. As the information is compiled and the investigation deepens, more and more people will be questioned by the security agencies.

The internal meeting minutes of the past years and the review of the China Iron Ore Negotiation Group were actually able to fall into the hands of Shui Zhizhong and others. What secrets are there about the bottom line and negotiation strategy of the China side in the iron ore price negotiations? No wonder the previous few

In 2006, Haibao Steel Group Corporation, on behalf of China Iron and Steel Industry, negotiated iron ore prices with the three major mining companies without success!

It can be said that the senior officials are extremely angry about this matter. In the past few years, the country has paid a large amount of precious foreign exchange for the import of iron ore! The result is such that the other party treats them as fools and plays them into their hands.

It can be said that it is humiliating! How can we easily let go of those who leaked secrets? Many people in domestic steel companies and steel industry associations today can be said to be full of anxiety, wondering if they will

It's your turn next.

Even the three major mining companies were a little dumbfounded at this time. They did not expect that they would be caught by China's national security department, and their employees in China were also worried about it. The three major mining companies had already

Most of the staff of the office in China with non-Chinese nationality were recalled. Only two or three kittens were left. As for the iron ore price negotiations, whether it is the China Iron and Steel Industry Association, Haibao Steel Group Company or

Neither of the three major mining companies has the intention to pay attention at this time. What they are more worried about is whether the Shui Zhizhong incident will continue to ferment and expand, and whether more people will be involved!

"Second uncle thinks too highly of me. It is the national security department that deals with them, not me. I am a small person, how can I have so much energy." Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly and said, "You haven't read the Iron and Steel Industry Association. Regarding Liao Province

The Steel Group Company's application was not taken seriously at all. It has been two months since the proposal for our application was submitted, not to mention the membership vote. There was not even a formal reply." Su Aimin's mouth twitched.

, there is something in Fang Mingyuan’s words.

"Mingyuan, in the iron ore price negotiations in 2007, it is not just the Seaburg Steel Group that is negotiating with the three major mining companies. Nippon Steel Corporation and Posco are also negotiating with the three major mining companies.

Mining companies are negotiating, if they reach an agreement with the three major mining companies, we will fall into the previous passive situation again." Su Aimin frowned and said, "Have you considered this issue?"

"Then let's fight two against one!" Fang Mingyuan said simply and neatly, "If the three major mining companies are divided, I don't believe that after the Shui Zhizhong incident, the three companies can still be monolithic!"

"You mean... to treat the other two companies with contempt and seize the Rio Tinto Group to deal with it?" Su Aimin pondered for a moment and said.

"Well, no matter whether Shui Zhizhong and the others are state spies or commercial spies in the end, at least it is certain that they are spies. On the one hand, we must put pressure on the three major mining companies from the national level, and on the other hand, we must let the Iron and Steel Industry Association and

The companies whose data had been stolen publicly sued the three major mining companies, demanding compensation and guarantees that they would not commit the crime again. As for the three major mining companies instructing the Australian and Brazilian governments to come to "fish for people", they requested that no criminal penalties be imposed.

You can tell them that this is our internal affairs and is in line with international practice." Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "At least I know that the United States has enacted the "Anti-Commercial (Economic) Espionage Act" since 1996. This

The federal criminal law stipulates that those who infringe on trade secrets in the United States may be sentenced to the crime of misappropriation of trade secrets, and those who commit trade secret crimes for foreign interests will be sentenced to the crime of economic espionage and aggravated penalties. That of Coca-Cola Company

Aren't you facing jail time now?"

Su Aimin knew that what Fang Mingyuan was talking about happened in mid-2006, when a Coca-Cola manager tried to sell the formula of a new Coca-Cola product to PepsiCo, its largest competitor in the world, but was reported by PepsiCo instead.

As a result of his arrest, it is said that this person is likely to face six to ten years in prison.

"It would be better if we take a tougher stance and make the matter bigger and make it known to everyone. We can even hint that if Rio Tinto Group does not plead guilty and pay compensation, Rio Tinto Group's iron ore will be banned from entering the Chinese market for one year.

The nearly 100 million tons of iron ore sales will definitely be coveted by some companies. Haha, even the three major mining companies may have differences." Fang Mingyuan said, "Don't be afraid of temporary losses, and don't be afraid of the losses of domestic steel companies.

Complaints, this is also a time for domestic steel companies to eliminate the waste and retain the essence! Those companies that do not have the strength to withstand temporary risks will not be able to withstand future economic crises."

Su Aimin nodded. He learned from his father that Fang Mingyuan believed that a global financial crisis would break out in the next few years. If others had said this, he would have scorned it, or at least half-believed it, but this was said by Fang Mingyuan.

Yes, he believed most of it.

"We are now the world's largest importer of iron ore. The iron ore we import accounts for nearly half of the global maritime iron ore trade. Don't worry that the three major mining companies will refuse to export iron ore to us. They will not Selling will only cede the market to other companies. Moreover, their huge production capacity will not be released. If the worst happens, although we will suffer heavy losses, the three major mining companies will definitely have a hard time. , and may even suffer huge losses. Their shareholders will be unable to sit still." Fang Mingyuan said, "In this way, we can regain the say in iron ore prices! Otherwise, they will continue to ride on Our country’s steel companies take away tens of billions of dollars in excess profits from us every year! In my opinion, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!”

"There are tens of billions of dollars in excess profits every year?" Su Aimin asked in disbelief.

"It's not that high yet, but it won't be long. Uncle Er, our iron ore imports will only increase in the short term. The record of importing 300 million tons of iron ore a year will be reached in a few years.

Nothing! Hey, it’s nothing strange to import 6 to 7 billion tons. If we don’t win back the right to have a say in the price of iron ore at this time, what will we do when we import 6 to 7 billion tons a year?

"Fang Mingyuan said, "CMM Company and Haiping Mining Company currently have a total of more than 20 million tons of iron ore inventory in various places. Even if the three major mining companies refuse to export to us, they can last for more than half a month. Second Uncle

Don’t miss this opportunity.”

Su Aimin took a breath of cold air. On the one hand, it was because of the huge amount of iron ore imported by Fang Mingyuan of six to seven billion tons a year. On the other hand, he was also amazed that Fang Mingyuan had obviously been prepared for this matter and actually prepared it in advance.

There are more than 20 million tons of iron ore in stock. Considering such a huge amount, the cost of storage alone is quite staggering.

"If necessary, Guo's Shipping Group can also refuse to carry Rio Tinto Group's trading mines to further put pressure on Rio Tinto Group." Fang Mingyuan continued.

"You are trying to drain the fire under the cauldron!" Su Aimin couldn't help but blurt out. In recent years, due to the strong demand for bulk commodities, a large number of maritime cargoes, and many shipping companies are in the process of replacing old and new ships, it is a well-known fact that transportation capacity is tight.
