Resource Tycoon Reborn

It is still the Japanese-style villa in Matsusaka City on the bank of Ise Bay. After a moderate snowfall, the place became covered with snow and was extremely beautiful. ▲∴▲∴,

"The occurrence of the Suizhishitaka incident has made the situation increasingly unfavorable to the three major mining companies and chairman." Iwata Masao knelt down in front of Tamayama Tsumi and said, "The three major mining companies, especially the Rio Tinto Group, hope that

Our Mitsui & Co., Ltd. was able to come forward to contact China and make peace, and they promised that if it was successful, they would compensate our Mitsui & Co., Ltd.” Although, for almost half a month, because China is celebrating the Spring Festival across the country, the media has been concerned about

The Shui Zhizhong incident and the iron ore price negotiations have received less attention, but the secret back-and-forth between the two parties has continued for these two matters.

Due to the Shui Zhizhong incident, many people led by Shui Zhizhong were caught by the Chinese national security department. It can be said that everyone gained the stolen goods, which suddenly put the three major mining companies into a very passive situation. Especially Rio Tinto

The Group, because Shui Zhizhong is affiliated with it, has become a target of China. Not only has the China Iron and Steel Industry Association submitted a civil compensation lawsuit to the court on behalf of a number of Chinese steel companies, but the relevant departments of the Chinese government are also filing lawsuits with the court.

Australia exerts pressure.

Over the past few days, the share price of Rio Tinto Group has been falling again and again. Before the Shui Zhizhong incident broke out, the share price had fallen by nearly 40%. It can be said that it has plummeted! People are worried that Rio Tinto

The group will not only face huge fines in the future, but may also be excluded from the market by China! Without the world's largest iron ore market, which imports 300 million tons of iron ore annually, no matter how big the Rio Tinto Group is,

Who will sell the iron ore production capacity to after it is produced? Don't say that without Rio Tinto Group, the international iron ore market will have tight supply and other nonsense, just look at the production capacity of BHP Billiton Group Company and Brazil's Vale SA

, if you think about mm company, Haiping Mining Company, and Katsk Metal Group, which is frantically expanding its production capacity, you can know that if Rio Tinto loses its share of the Chinese iron ore market and wants to fight for it back in the future, there will be

How difficult!

"Iwata-kun, how are the contacts between the other two major mining companies with China going?" Yushan said calmly. After the Suizhizhong incident, the three major mining companies were shocked, but they also actively carried out activities. On the one hand,

Through communication with the Chinese government through their respective governments, on the one hand, they are also actively contacting the Chinese side. Among them, BHP Billiton Group Company and Brazil's Vale SA, which are relatively in a better situation, are the most active.

"BHP Billiton Group and Brazil's Vale are currently discussing with the main person in charge of the China Iron and Steel Industry Association. Judging from the information learned so far, they have not made much progress. The attitude of the China Iron and Steel Industry Association is still relatively tough.

They are required to publicly apologize to China and compensate for the losses, and they are also required to set the price of iron ore this year not to increase the price or even ask them to reduce the price, just like MM Company and Haiping Mining Company." Iwata Masao said with both hands.

He handed a piece of information to Yushan Jingwei and said, "This is the latest summary information. Please take a look at it, President."

Yushan didn't even reach out to take it, he looked through it casually and said, "The Chinese people have a big appetite this time!" In the international market, although the price of Changxie Mine has not yet been determined, the current price of iron ore in the international market

In the spot trading of iron ore, the price of iron ore has increased by almost 19.7% compared with the price of Changxie mine last year. In other words, once the China Iron and Steel Industry Association, Haibao Steel Group Company and the three major

When mining companies sign contracts, the price difference alone will allow these steel companies to make huge profits.

"Hey! They are indeed a little greedy, but I don't think they can do anything about it." Masao Iwata said with a bitter look on his face, "Before, the Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company, the Brazilian MM Company, and the Australian Haiping Mining Company formally reached a 2007 agreement.

The iron ore price agreement has pushed them into a corner."

Although Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, mm Company, and Haiping Mining Company do not have enough influence to make this price agreement the standard for global iron ore prices in 2007. But at this time, no one can deny

Whoever reached the agreement one step ahead of schedule has great influence on the three Asian iron ore price negotiations that have not yet reached an agreement. Whether it is the China Iron and Steel Industry Association or the Haibao Steel Group Company, if it is said to be related to the three countries

If the iron ore price agreement finally reached by large mining companies increases, even if it is only 1% or 2%, it will put them in great trouble in China, and the public's saliva will be enough to drown them. Especially in China

After the Shui Zhizhong incident broke out, dissatisfaction among the Chinese people and the industry with China Iron and Steel Industry Association and Haibao Steel Group Company was rising. If they could not produce decent results, what dignity did they have to suppress Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company?

Yushan nodded slightly. The tactics played by Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, mm Company and Haiping Mining Company were indeed ruthless. Now it is not just the China Iron and Steel Industry Association and Haibao Iron and Steel Group Company that are feeling the pressure.

, even Nippon Steel Corporation and Posco Steel Group Corporation have also felt the pressure from their domestic counterparts. The skyrocketing price of iron ore in the international market in recent years has indeed caused huge production costs that are difficult to control for many steel companies.

Being able to survive the pressure for a year also allows these steel companies to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brazil's Vale, BHP Group, and Rio Tinto have put pressure on MM Group and Haiping Mining Company through the government, but the effect is not obvious." Masao Iwata said softly.

"Hey, that's what makes me feel amazing if it works." Yushan said without even raising his head. The influence of the three major mining companies in their respective countries cannot be ignored, but the Fang family is not that easy to bully. Haiping

The mining company is located in Western Australia, which does not listen to the Australian government, especially since this is an internal matter. The Brazilian government, not to mention mm company, is the second largest mining company in Brazil, and its own influence is not small.

Considering that Brazil's soybean exports still need the Chinese market, and Petrobras still cooperates with Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company, you can imagine how difficult it will be for the Brazilian government to help Vale but offend others.

A large number of people! Not to mention that the Guo Shipping Group Company also controls an astonishing cargo fleet. In today's international shipping market, when shipping capacity is generally tight, whoever offends the Fang family must be prepared to be retaliated.

Prepare!

"I heard that Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd., launched two 300,000-ton ultra-large ore carriers at the end of last year. Is this true?" Yushan did not ponder for a moment.

road.

"Yes, this is indeed the case. According to the information we have received, the maximum load capacity of these two very large ore carriers can reach 371,000 tons. This is the largest ore ship ever built in the history of Chinese shipbuilding so far.

It is also the largest ultra-large ore ship in the world that specializes in sea transportation of iron ore!" Masao Iwata said, "Moreover, there are four ultra-large ships of the same level in the shipyard of Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd.

Ore carriers are under construction."

"It seems... Fang Jun is quite optimistic about the future sea trade of iron ore." Yushan said softly, supporting his chin with his hand.

"Mitsui MOL Co., Ltd. has proposed to order four ships from Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd., but Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd. said that the two major shipyards currently have orders for 13 ships that have not yet been delivered, because the two major shipyards only have four ships.

There are only a few shipyards that can build ships of this class, so the delivery date will be at least the second half of 2009," Masao Iwata said.

Yushan Jingwei thought about it in his mind and said: "It seems that Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd.'s business is very good. Can it also build liquefied natural gas carriers and super tankers?"

"Hi! Chairman Akimi!" Masao Iwata complimented, "Nowadays, most of the shipyards in China that can build supertankers are OEMs for Xiangjiang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd."

"Mr. Guo's vision is really admirable!" Yushan sighed. Guo's Shipping Group has now become a behemoth integrating shipbuilding and shipping, and its tentacles have also extended to the steel industry.

Needless to say, Mr. Guo resolutely formed an alliance with the Fang family and vigorously supported the Fang family, and now he has received extremely generous rewards.

Yushan looked at the information in his hand, then placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and fell into silence. After a long time, Yushan finally raised his eyes and looked at Iwata Masao and said: "As for the requirements of the three major mining companies, you

What’s your opinion?”

"Everyone's opinions are currently difficult to unify. Some people think that we should stand in the same camp with the three major mining companies to help them overcome this difficulty and obtain more benefits." Iwata Masao paused and then continued.

, "Some people think that we should remain neutral for the time being and look at the situation again. Others think that we should do the opposite and stand with Fang Jun to seek more cooperation."

"Cooperate with Fang Jun?" Yushan smiled and said, "Then Iwata-kun, what is your opinion? Which party do you prefer?"

Masao Iwata was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "President, I personally think that cooperating with Fang Jun is a good choice."

"Huh? Have you forgotten his response to our cooperation last time?" Yushan didn't say.

"Hey, Masao dare not forget, and cannot forget! But I will not affect the company's major events because of this personal grudge!" Iwata Masao said solemnly! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.
