Resource Tycoon Reborn

"I don't know that!" Fang Mingyuan replied immediately. He said this from the bottom of his heart. Although it was said that in the previous life, BHP Billiton Group Company's acquisition of Rio Tinto Group Company ended in failure, it is complicated and confusing, even in the past few years.

, it is still difficult for outsiders to know the many hidden secrets involved. On the surface, although there are many obstacles from Huaxia Aluminum Company and repeated rejections from Rio Tinto Group Company, BHP Billiton Group Company has actually made the acquisition

Rio Tinto Group Co., Ltd. has made preparations and obtained the corresponding government approvals. If it were not for the price of various metals in the global metal trading market at the end of 2008, which made BHP Billiton Group Co., Ltd. worried about the company's financial situation after the acquisition

The risk was too great and the merger and acquisition was voluntarily abandoned. Maybe BHP Billiton Group Company would have succeeded.

But if we look at it from a conspiracy theory perspective, some people have suggested that BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are probably putting on a show. At least Rio Tinto is suspected of this. Although Rio Tinto acquired the Canadian aluminum

After becoming a private company, it was indeed faced with the unfavorable situation of heavy debts and increased financial risks. Moreover, in 2008, although Aluminum Company of Canada said that it brought increased turnover to Rio Tinto Group Company, it did not

It did not bring the profits it deserved, and the world economy experienced serious negative growth due to the full-scale outbreak of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis. The economies of many countries were hit hard, and the international market prices of metals fell severely. This caused a general phenomenon among international mining companies.

Large-scale losses. The Rio Tinto Group Company, which was facing the acquisition by the BHP Billiton Group Company, could be said to be in a dilemma at that time. It was the capital injection of Huaxia Aluminum Company into the Rio Tinto Group Company that enabled the Rio Tinto Group Company to gain

With a chance to breathe and resist the global economic recovery, international metal prices returned to the upward channel.

However, BHP Billiton Group Company withdrew its acquisition request and switched to a joint venture with Rio Tinto Group Company. Rio Tinto Group Company immediately parted ways with Huaxia Aluminum Company, giving only a meager compensation of less than 200 million US dollars, and then entered into a joint venture with BHP Billiton Group Company.

The two are fine. In the process, Huaxia Aluminum Company lost tens of billions of yuan due to the sharp fall in the share price of Rio Tinto Group!

Moreover, during the iron ore price negotiations in 2008, Rio Tinto Group Company used the excuse of BHP Billiton Group Company's acquisition to negotiate a price increase of nearly 100% to a record high with Seaburg Steel Group Company.

Previously, in the iron ore price negotiations between Seaburg Steel Group Company and Brazil's Vale, the two parties only reached an agreement on a price increase of about 75%. This move by Rio Tinto Group Company also broke the trend in the past years.

The practice of iron ore negotiation is that as long as the steel companies participating in the negotiation reach an agreement with any one of the three major mining companies, the other two mining companies will also reach an agreement by default. This makes 2008. Asian Iron Ore International

There are two long-term mining prices in the market price.

But in this life, his little butterfly no longer flaps its wings. Even the Haiping Mining Company, which did not exist before, has appeared. The cmm company, which originally belonged to the Brazilian Vale Company, was also preemptively controlled by him. Therefore, in the previous life,

These things are only for reference.

"Does the capital know about this?" Su Aijun said in a deep voice.

"Well, I've already mentioned it to the other side. As for the response..." Fang Mingyuan shrugged and made a helpless expression.

"I'll talk to the old man about this later." Su Aijun frowned, "It's like someone's neck is stuck! How could this happen?" It is obviously a major iron ore producer, but it has to import large quantities of high-priced iron ore every year.

iron ore.

"So, steel production capacity can never continue to expand! The rapid rise in iron ore prices is ultimately because our demand for overseas iron ore is too strong. We are now risking a serious overcapacity of our own steel production.

Risk is here to help the three major mining companies earn excess profits! If we can cut even 100 million tons of production capacity, the international market price of iron ore will no longer be able to rise, and may even turn downward!" Fang Ming

Yuandao. Although on March 5, the Ministry of Information Industry announced the "Steel Industry Adjustment Policy (Draft for Comments)", proposing to gradually phase out smelting blast furnaces of less than 450 cubic meters nationwide in two to three years.

And strictly control the new production capacity, and officially implemented it in mid-May. However, according to the information obtained by Liao Iron and Steel Group Corporation, many domestic local governments have not achieved the expected results in the implementation of these two regulations. Not only the four

Not many smelting blast furnaces with a capacity of less than 150 cubic meters have been eliminated, and new projects have been secretly launched in various places in an attempt to create a fait accompli and force the country to recognize it.

"The central government must immediately and strictly implement the "Steel Industry Adjustment Policy." If those new construction projects want to start construction, they must also eliminate the corresponding backward production capacity. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to start! Which level of government is in charge?

If officials make mistakes on this issue, they must be dealt with. Otherwise, our steel production capacity will only get bigger and bigger, and iron ore prices will not be able to remain stable or even fall!" Fang Mingyuan said seriously,

"If the execution is good, this will also be an opportunity for domestic steel companies to upgrade. If domestic steel companies are allowed to develop in such a disorderly manner, in less than ten years, the next generation of leaders will cry!"

Commander Su Ai sighed, nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to facilitate this matter."

"By the way, Uncle Su, how is the provincial coordinating work of medical insurance in the province going?" Fang Mingyuan asked, changing the topic to a relatively relaxed topic. At the beginning of the year, Su Aijun proposed to promote the process of out-of-region settlement of medical insurance in the province.

, the first step is to solve the settlement of medical insurance for retired people in other places, and gradually expand it to all groups of people, so that with a medical insurance card, you can buy medicine and see a doctor in any city in the province. To solve this problem, medical insurance

Provincial level coordination must be achieved.

Although the approach of provincial co-ordination of medical insurance and social security has been proposed as early as the end of the last century, and many provinces and cities have successively issued implementation details, and Qinxi Province is no exception, but in actual operation, it is

Difficulties abound. Although the economy of Qinxi Province is considered to be at the forefront among many provinces and cities in the country, and is even more outstanding in the central and western regions, it ultimately has a weak foundation and too many remaining problems. For example, Fengyuan, which ranks among the best in terms of economic level,

Tongyi and Jinning are better off. The government finances are relatively abundant and there is no clear objection to the provincial co-ordination of medical insurance and social security. However, economically backward areas are not willing to hand over these two funds easily.

"It's difficult! You think it's Tongyi and Fengyuan." Su Aijun spread his hands and said helplessly, "In the end, it's all about money!" Although Qinxi Province has made great efforts in promoting the universalization of medical insurance in recent years.

A lot of effort has been made and good results have been achieved, but the difficulty of settlement of medical insurance in other places is quite prominent. It is even more difficult to settle medical insurance in other provinces! Su Aijun cannot control other provinces, and his goal is to settle the medical insurance in other provinces during his term of office.

Within the province, it can solve the problem of settlement of medical insurance in other places within the province.

After years of hard work, Tongyi and Fengyuan have formed a mechanism to realize the free transfer of medical insurance and social security between the two places. With the existence of Fentong File Data Exchange Center, the settlement of medical insurance in different places is relatively smooth, but Qinxi Province

In other prefectures and cities, even municipal-level coordination has not yet been completed. How can they achieve provincial-level coordination?

"Uncle Su, the provincial government had better keep some money as much as possible this year. Next year it is very likely that life will be very difficult." Fang Mingyuan reminded.

"Yes, I understand." Su Aijun nodded, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Is there any way you can get the local government to agree to hand over the social security and medical insurance funds...at least the medical insurance funds to the province for co-ordination?"

"There is no way!" Fang Mingyuan waved his hands and said, "As you just said, the problem is money! Now, some of these cities in the province can't even coordinate medical insurance at the municipal level. We need to let them realize the provincial level coordination

It is too difficult to coordinate at the provincial level. When their municipal finances can ensure their balance of revenue and expenditure, they will probably hand over the medical insurance funds to the province for overall coordination. You should worry more about the basic medical insurance for urban residents in the future.

Let’s cover it.” The State Council decided to launch a pilot project for basic medical insurance for urban residents starting this year, and Fengyuan, Tongyi and Jinning cities in Qinxi Province were included in the pilot cities.

"What if we sell another provincial enterprise? Is the money raised enough to start the provincial medical insurance co-ordination? And the local governments only need to transfer the subsequent medical insurance funds to the provincial accounts for co-ordination.

If all the previous savings are transferred to local finance, do you think each local government can agree?" Su Aijun asked.

"I think..." Fang Mingyuan clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, "If the money you raise by doing this is more than the savings of the local governments' medical insurance funds, then that's no problem. You can treat those savings as provincial

If the financial subsidies to various localities are less than the savings of the local government's medical insurance fund, it violates the regulations of national special funds. Although this regulation has long been in vain, it may be a problem for you in the future.

It’s a stain. You don’t need to be so anxious. Tongyi’s tax revenue will be turned over to the province, and it will be relaxed by then.”

"Hey, I don't deny that Tongyi's tax payment can make the provincial finances look better, but how much more relaxed it is..." Su Aijun shook his head and said, "There are too many historical debts!" ​​(To be continued.)
