The one who came in was a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head, estimated to be one of the senior executives of Donghai Iron and Steel Group, and this person also knew that Chang Jianliang was receiving important guests in the office, and when he came in, he nodded slightly to Wang Xudong and Zheng Xiaotong.

However, I was also very shocked in my heart, I must have been far from thinking that Chang Jianliang's two guests were so young, they only looked like they were in their early twenties, and the men were sunny and handsome, and the women were very beautiful.

This middle-aged man is indeed one of the senior executives of Donghai Iron and Steel Group Company, deputy general manager Meng Zhixiang, in charge of procurement, knowing that Chang Jianliang is meeting important guests and knocking on the door to come in, Meng Zhixiang must have encountered something big.

Sure enough, Meng Zhixiang nodded slightly to Wang Xudong and Zheng Xiaotong with apologies, and after saying hello, Meng Zhixiang's face changed slightly, with a little anxiety and solemnity, and said slowly: "Mr. Chang, I'm sorry to disturb you, there is an important matter that needs to be reported to you." ”

Chang Jianliang saw that it was a matter of work, so he dispelled the trace of dissatisfaction just now from his heart, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Meng, what is the matter?"

Meng Zhixiang looked at Wang Xudong and Zheng Xiaotong, and stopped talking, Chang Jianliang waved his hand and said: "Mr. Meng, let's talk about something, this is not an outsider." ”

Seeing Chang Jianliang say this, Meng Zhixiang reported the matter again, Meng Zhixiang is in charge of procurement, for a large steel group, the top priority of procurement is naturally raw materials, and the most important raw materials are undoubtedly iron ore.

Donghai Iron & Steel Group imports tens of millions of tons of iron ore every year, a large part of which is imported from Australia, and it is already December, and the iron ore procurement work for the next fiscal year has been launched and started.

There are more than a dozen mining companies that have business dealings with Donghai Iron and Steel Group, including some international mining giants, as well as some relatively powerful mining companies in Australia.

Now there is a little problem, an Australian mining company unilaterally proposed a price increase in iron ore, and the increase is relatively large, directly up 10%, which is ostensibly a unilateral act of this company, but as an experienced professional, Meng Zhixiang smelled the unusual.

After listening to Meng Zhixiang's report, Chang Jianliang's face suddenly became solemn, obviously, Chang Jianliang also had a keen insight into the crisis.

Chang Jianliang said slowly: "Mr. Meng, the Australian mining company that proposed the price increase can only be regarded as medium in scale and strength among our many iron ore suppliers. ”

It stands to reason that for commodities like iron ore, price increases are generally led by some international mining giants on the bright side, but this time it is different, and there are mysteries everywhere.

Meng Zhixiang nodded and said: "Mr. Chang, my opinion is the same as yours, I guess that there are some international mining giants behind this, and it is not good, they are instigating behind the scenes, and this company proposes to raise prices, the purpose is to test it." ”

This is indeed a kind of temptation, the rapid development of China's domestic economy, stimulating the steel industry is booming, the steel industry is developing so well, which requires a large amount of iron ore, and most of these iron ore need to be imported, under the leadership of some international mining giants, the international iron ore price has been rising.

In everyone's opinion, the current iron ore price has reached a peak, more than 200 US dollars a ton of iron ore, equivalent to 1,000 yuan a ton, its price has been scary enough, if the price rises, the profit margin of steel enterprises will be greatly compressed, and even may lose money.

A steel predator like Donghai Iron and Steel Group consumes tens of millions of tons of iron ore every year, and if the iron ore rises by one dollar per ton, it will cost tens of millions of yuan more, not to mention that the other party wants to rise by 10%, which is absolutely unacceptable.

After gaining insight into the other party's intentions, Chang Jianliang knew that there were some international mining giants behind him, and knew that the other party was a temptation.

If you agree to the other party, agree to the price increase of the mining company, once this is opened, the first mining company will increase the price, and there will be a second one immediately, and the final result is that all mining companies will collectively increase the price, if you do not agree to the other party, the other party will use this as a threat.

Because the import of iron ore is subject to people!

Chang Jianliang stood up, his face was solemn, walking back and forth in the office, thinking about countermeasures, Meng Zhixiang also had a heavy face, waiting for Chang Jianliang's decision.

Zheng Xiaotong took a look at Wang Xudong and Chang Jianliang, seeing that Chang Jianliang encountered such a thorny problem, Zheng Xiaotong couldn't bear it a little.

Zheng Xiaotong couldn't help asking, "Xudong, don't you have iron ore?"

Wang Xudong does have iron ore, there are two major iron ore mining areas in Wujiang City, Doujiashan Mining Area and Huangtang Mining Area, Doujiashan Mining Area has a daily output of about 20,000 tons of iron ore, Huangtang Mining Area has just taken over, but before Wu Jian and Huanglin have carried out an expansion, the development should be very fast, and Wang Xudong is very sure of the scale of more than 10,000 tons per day before the Chinese New Year.

In Australia, Wang Xudong also has a large iron mine, the original owner of this iron mine invested a lot of money, and even the railway was repaired, such a foundation was placed there, after Song Qingsong arrived there, it developed rapidly, and produced a large amount of iron ore every day.

Wang Xudong holds three large iron ore mines, and all of them are in rapid development, and the output of iron ore has increased steadily, especially the development of iron ore in Australia is simply rapid, and there is a large amount of iron ore for sale.

Wang Xudong nodded, and then said to Chang Jianliang: "Uncle Chang, if you want iron ore, I have some in my hand." ”

Thinking that Wang Xudong's iron ore quantity was very small, Chang Jianliang shook his head, "Xudong, your iron ore is estimated to be a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough at all." ”

Wang Xudong asked, "Uncle Chang, how much iron ore do you want?" ”

Chang Jianliang thought about it, if he could sign a contract for three or five million tons of iron ore, this would make things turn around, and even smash the other party's conspiracy.

If Donghai Iron and Steel Group can withstand the pressure, refuse the other party's price increase, and even sign a high-profile contract with another mining company for three or five million tons of iron ore, then things will be completely different.

If you can really sign a contract with a new mining company for three or five million tons of iron ore immediately, it is to tell those overseas mining companies that want to raise prices, especially those mining giants, you see, we are not coerced, you want to increase prices, no way, we do not accept your price increases, we have new iron ore suppliers.

However, this is estimated to be difficult, the international procurement of iron ore, not a buyer's market, on the contrary, this is a seller's market, iron ore production, prices, etc. are dominated by sellers, as the sellers of those international mining giants want to raise prices can generally rise, especially in the context of the shortage of this ore supply environment and background, price increases can generally be successful, which has also led to the international iron ore prices all the way up.

To crush the machinations of the international mining giants, Donghai Iron and Steel Group needs a new mining company, with which it needs to sign a contract of three or five million.

Take advantage of the signing of this new contract to tell the other party, you see, you want to increase the price, right, I don't need your iron ore, I look for another seller, and I signed a contract for several million tons at one time.

But where to find such a new mining company in a short period of time? It's a difficult question, a very difficult question.

In Chang Jianliang's view, even if Wang Xudong's Doujiashan mining area has reached a daily output of 20,000 tons, it can only meet the local needs of Wujiang City, and it is impossible to sell a large amount of iron ore to Donghai Iron and Steel Group, even if some iron ore can be sold to Donghai Iron and Steel Group, it is estimated that the amount is not much, hundreds of thousands of tons, or more than one million tons.

It is estimated that more than one million tons are in the sky, so Chang Jianliang sighed and said that the number is too small, and it is a drop in the bucket.

Wang Xudong smiled, knowing that Chang Jianliang didn't know that he had taken over the Huangtang Iron Mine, let alone that he had a big iron mine in Australia.

Seeing that Wang Xudong was confident and smiling, Chang Jianliang was puzzled at first, and then remembered his understanding of Wang Xudong and knew that Wang Xudong was not a person who fired empty cannons, if he was not completely sure, Wang Xudong would definitely not be like this.

Chang Jianliang thought in his conscience: "Could it be that Xudong has a large amount of iron ore, can it sign a big contract of three or five million tons with Donghai Iron and Steel Group?"

Suddenly, Chang Jianliang's eyes lit up, and his eyes fell on Wang Xudong.
