Chapter 339: Rio Tinto
Synchronous reading on mobile phones
A well-known international mining company, after two years, can be familiar with the enterprise in the Cangtian Dynasty...
It's famous not because of his product, or how good the company is, but because of how bad the company really is!
In recent years, the development of the real estate industry in the Celestial Empire has also caused a large demand for steel in the market, which has also led to the hot sale of major metal minerals in the world.
As a result, it has also caused a strange phenomenon in the international Celestial Empire, what they buy, what the price rises, and these prices are directly reflected in the residences, automobiles and household appliances, thus passing on to the consumers of the Celestial Empire.
However, the people of the Celestial Empire are indeed the best managed group of people in the world, and they pay a lot of taxes every day inexplicably, but they don't enjoy any benefits from paying taxes at all.
The Rio Tinto company was founded in Spain in the year of the milk, his name in Spanish means yellow river, and the company sold most of its Spanish operations. Over the years, the company has merged with several of the world's most influential mining companies, and in four years it has successfully acquired Australia's Northern Mining Company, becoming a global leader in the exploration, extraction and processing of mineral resources. Known as one of the Big Three of Iron Ore. Rio Tinto is headquartered in the UK and Australia is headquartered in Melbourne.
Rio Tinto is also involved in copper, aluminium, energy, diamonds, gold, industrial minerals and other businesses, ranking among the top 10 companies in Australia in the year of the blade. In Rio Tinto's business, Australia accounts for 4 gills, North America accounts for 4, and South America accounts for PE. The company's sales revenue sources are: North America occupies the air, Europe accounts for 2 mi, Japan occupies the base, Australia and New Zealand occupy Anhui, the Celestial Empire occupies the gills, and other Asian countries are Anhui.
Li Zhiyang didn't expect that Nancy and his father Zhan Yaosi. There is still a stake in this Rio Tinto in his hand. In fact, at the beginning, people told him, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.
This company is amazing, the iron and steel enterprises of the Celestial Empire can have a profit of one dollar per ton of steel, and they dare to increase the price to cheat.
In fact, the reason why people are so confident is not because of how good their ore is bought, but because they know what is going on with the officials in charge of this place in the Celestial Empire. Moreover, the three giants in the mining industry also have an offensive and defensive alliance with each other, and people can unite to raise prices at any time, and the price increase is not your other people's price, or you who are wronged.
Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, an iron ore company in Australia. There is also the alliance of the three companies of Brazil's freshwater, and when the future generations are drunk, they can earn an extra 400 million yuan from the Celestial Empire every year, thanks to the Celestial Empire Association, this one. Awesome agency!
There are many other countries in the world that are also big steel importers, such as Japan and South Korea, but why have people not been affected much by the price increase in these steel mining industries!
In fact, this has to start with the recent development of the Celestial Empire, in recent years, everyone can see on TV almost every day about the rapid economic development of the Celestial Empire, and what bullshit about the rise of a great power.
Is this really the case? But why doesn't the national income grow with the depression every year? Where do these depressions go?
You must know that in recent years, a very important indicator for the promotion and evaluation of officials in the Celestial Empire is to see whether or not you can engage in economic development?
However, the people of the Celestial Empire do not have the ability to innovate and create a new industry like the people of the United States, so in order to compete for the increase during their reign, local officials can only work hard in two places.
One is scraping the land and engaging in real estate, and the other is heavy industry.
Regardless of the local gold, anyway, the slogan is that it is insisted on coming, so in recent years, some heavy industrial enterprises with serious pollution and unreasonable layout have been built in many places in China.
For example, those small steel mills, if there is no policy support, these small steel plants will definitely not be able to open.
However, in recent years, the real estate of the Tianchao has also been very hot, and it has become one all over the country. Large construction sites, countless high-rise buildings are rising from the ground every day in every city.
This has caused the building materials market to be hot, especially the need for steel, so those small steel mills that should not exist in the first place have also survived this shareholder wind.
However, as we all know, although the Celestial Empire is large, it can really be called thin, and many mining industries, or because of the previous indiscriminate mining, the development has been exhausted.
For example, this iron ore, there are not a few high-grade iron ores in the whole day, but there are iron ores, but unfortunately they are all poor iron ores with a lot of impurities.
Even some very small steel mills are reluctant to use their mineral powder, so there is no way, in order to meet the strong domestic demand for steel, everyone has set their sights overseas.
Australia's iron ore has always been famous in the world for its high grade, and it just so happens that Australia has two world-famous iron ore export companies.
These two companies are Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, although the grade of iron ore from Brazil's freshwater is also very good, but compared with these two Australian companies, the cost of shipping is the death hole of this Brazilian company.
Because of the freight, more Celestial Empire Iron and Steel Mills are willing to choose to use Australian iron ore powder!
And in the Celestial Empire, there is a very interesting department called the Celestial Empire Association, which manages the import and export of iron ore powder throughout the Celestial Empire.
At present, the most popular practice for iron ore imports in the international market is that most countries are importing long-term ore. This long-term mine, as the name suggests, is a long-term agreement between the party that buys and the party who sells iron ore fines.
It stipulates the amount of annual imports, as well as the price of mineral powder, as well as the price increase, etc., and the price increase shall not be arbitrarily increased by one party, etc.
I think that Japan, a large steel importing country, has a small ratio of importing long-term ore to reach a large rate, but in the Celestial Empire, this ratio is not even enough!
At present, the saddest problem is that the iron ore powder imported by the entire Celestial Empire accounts for more than the world's seaborne iron ore powder, but under the leadership of the association, we actually have no bargaining power.
In international negotiations, it is nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter, and the price is raised by others.
Why do the enterprises of our Celestial Empire have to be slaughtered by others, and cannot form a unified whole to negotiate with others!
It is because of the purity of these small iron and steel enterprises, as well as the imbalance caused by the use of resources in the hands of large steel state-owned enterprises!
You must know that there are probably many iron and steel enterprises in the Celestial Empire, or importers and exporters, who are qualified to import and export this long-term mine.
In this way, there are many small iron and steel enterprises that are not qualified to import long-term ore, so that every year, many qualified enterprises often import more long-term ore, and then take it to the domestic market to resell it for profit.
And there are some small steel companies that are not willing to be blackmailed by these large enterprises, or strangle their necks, they will go to negotiate with foreign mineral export companies privately, although the import is not long-term ore, it doesn't matter if the price is high, anyway, domestic consumers will pay.
In this way, it has caused chaos in the import of iron ore powder in the Celestial Empire, and the scattered enterprises of the Celestial Empire will of course be easily broken by others.
The price of this iron ore, how much people say, and in the end, you don't have to be how much? In the murderous year, Rio Tinto also broke out a commercial espionage case where four employees were arrested!
Because of the strong demand for steel in the Celestial Empire in recent years, the two companies Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have made a lot of money in the Celestial Empire in the past two years.
Coupled with the consistent infighting shown by the Celestial Empire enterprises, there is still disunity, so people raise prices every year, tightly choking the lifeline of your Celestial Empire enterprises.
Originally, our Heavenly Dynasty didn't look down on this little money, so we gave it to them, but I don't know which guy stabbed it out.
So for a while, the newspaper network and the reports of major news media brought a lot of pressure to the association.
So the association, who didn't want to wade into this muddy water, had to come forward and negotiate with others, but they still didn't give you face.
You are the oldest, you have been pretending to be a grandson for many years, and now you actually want to play hard, so continue to go back and pretend to be a grandson!
You must know that the people of our Celestial Empire pay the most attention to face, and if you don't give face, forget it, we can still fool the people when we go back, but if you directly slap your face, we can't go back and cover up our ugliness.
So he simply tore his face and arrested and sentenced the four employees of the family in the Celestial Empire.
In other words, these foreign compradors are also unlucky enough, in fact, they have not been doing that kind of bribery for a year or two.
Isn't it just that we have won over a few associations, as well as senior officials of several large state-owned steel mills, and organized an Olympic sightseeing group? Isn't it just to lead this group of people to travel well around the world, and go to Vegas, Macao, Monaco and other places to visit and study, and the advanced urban management of microservices?
Isn't it just to take everyone to experience the style of an Australian chick micro-service?
Besides, we didn't ask much, didn't we just ask about the turnover days of raw material inventory, the average cost of imported ore, the gross profit per ton of steel, the unit consumption of pig iron and other financial data, in addition to the production arrangements of iron and steel enterprises, steelmaking ratio, procurement plans and other information.
This kind of thing has not been done for a year or two before, who knew that it would be so unlucky that year, it was a little trivial, but as a result, these foreign compradors became substitutes for the dead!
It has become a punching bag for those who have failed to reach an agreement with the two extensions, although the association seems to have regained face, but in the end it still obediently accepted the "request" of others to raise prices.
And at the beginning of the year, Rio Tinto was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the impact of the financial crisis. At that time, a company in the Celestial Empire wanted to take this opportunity to acquire this company.
But at that time, the damned Aussie actually delayed the original review time for the day with some bullshit national interests.
And this Rio Tinto brazenly spread the news that the company was about to be acquired by the Celestial Empire in the market, causing the company's stock to skyrocket.
Then the negotiations entered the second stage. After the Celestial Empire enterprises injected capital into them again, they continued to release good news in the market.
Secretly, he secretly reached a cooperation agreement with another mining company in Australia, BHP Billiton, so that he could obtain abundant funds.
In the end, he unilaterally tore up the acquisition agreement with the state-owned enterprises of the Celestial Empire, and as a result, the more than 10 billion US dollars invested by the Celestial Empire enterprises were wasted.
It can be said that it is completely relying on the funds of the Celestial Empire Enterprise, the Blazing Old Scholar, and then stabbing the Celestial Empire Enterprise in a ruthless manner, it is simply a spear by Chuan, a few points.
And the Celestial Empire Enterprise, which has become a laughing stock in the industry all over the world, has since been the reputation of the Celestial Empire's unjust leader.
After that, it caused the phenomenon that no matter what the Celestial Empire bought, the price would rise! When Li Zhiyang was reborn, such a thing had already happened, so he still had a good understanding of the inside story of these things.
At that time, he was used to seeing the incompetence of some people, and he was not surprised by such a thing for a long time, and anything could happen in the Great Celestial Empire!
This time he suddenly heard that his old father-in-law wanted to give him his stake in Rio Tinto as a dowry, or rather as a bonus.
Li Zhiyang suddenly had an idea in his heart that in this world, the trading of resources, especially this kind of monopoly nature of resource trading, will always be a sure profit.
Why can't you get this company to play around!
He doesn't have any great ideas for the country and the people, it's just that as a Celestial Empire person, he is unhappy with such a company that goes back on his word and completely treats the Celestial Empire people as fools!
Moreover, in this Western world, there are not as many rules and regulations as the Celestial Empire. As long as you have a lot of money, you are the uncle, and there are not so many policies or anything to control you.
And since these Celestial Empire enterprises. I like to give money to foreigners so much, so why not cheapen myself, I am now holding the passport of the Celestial Empire.
And even if you change your foreign passport, you're a purebred Celestial Empire, aren't you?
Instead of cheapening those ghosts, it is better to have a field where fat water does not flow to outsiders! It is better to cheapen yourself than to cheapen those foreigners.
"James, are you a major shareholder in Rio Tinto?" After having some ideas, Li Zhiyang suddenly began to ask Zhan Yaosi.
James' old face blushed when he heard this, and then he said, "Of course I'm not the biggest, but you know, in such a company." There are very few individuals in the form of major shareholders, many of them exist in the form of some companies, or institutions, consortia, and my shares in this company are a vest company that I registered with Viking, you know, so it's very convenient to avoid taxes. ”
Old James explained to Li Zhiyang the situation of such a large international mining company. Li Zhiyang also blushed a little when he heard this, it turned out that he was still in the form of a small workshop, to estimate that he was a world-class large company!
"What is the form of equity allocation in this company?" Li Zhiyang asked James after reacting.
"This company is actually mainly controlled by several large companies, such as Jinsheng Insurance, Legal General Group, Barclays, and large American investment institutions. It's all big companies from the UK, the US and France. The others are some rich people like me, registered vest companies. ”
Aunt Zhan did not hide Li Zhiyang, he told Li Zhiyang the truth behind it. At this time, when he heard Li Zhiyang ask about the company, he already knew some of Li Zhiyang's thoughts in his heart, but he was still not sure, so he asked out loud.
"What's the matter?" Yang, are you interested in this company, do you want to buy him for fun?" asked Zhan Yaosi tentatively, smiling.
His little son-in-law, he really can't see through it, but as long as he knows a little, it is that his son-in-law has some ideas, that's it.
If you look at others, in just over a year, they have made a net worth of tens of billions, although they started to take the route of luck.
But this time, people came to the United States, turned their hands into clouds and covered their hands into rain, and in a blink of an eye, they debunked Bernard. Madoff's scam, and pocketed this guy.
In the United States stock market, a few actions have brought billions of income to everyone, such a guy is simply a magical existence!
"To be honest, I have this idea, you know that in the current era of great development, the world's resources are no longer particularly abundant, and with the passage of time, there will be fewer and fewer non-renewable resources on the earth, so the price of natural resources will rise, and it will not be a problem. And the most important thing now is the speed of the Celestial Empire's economic rise, as long as their government needs what concave numbers, the need for natural resources will be endless, so if we own a mining company, we will never be afraid of running out of money. And for the global resource products reserve companies to carry out one. Planned acquisitions are the best way to quickly have the right to speak in the resource market. ”
Li Zhiyang did not hide his thoughts, after all, he still needs James' support in this matter, after all, he wants to rely on himself to acquire this Rio Tinto company.
Even if he has money, it is almost impossible, and there is no need for other reasons, people only need to make a fuss about his identity as a member of the Celestial Empire, and his acquisition can basically end in failure.
You must know that these large companies in Europe and the United States, they just regard the people of the Celestial Empire as sheep that can shear sheep, and if a sheep is allowed to take over and take charge of this company, it is almost impossible.
Just like the people of the Celestial Empire work in a foreign-funded company, there will always be a ceiling theory, as long as you reach a certain height, it is difficult to be promoted upward. Because white people have a natural sense of rejection of being led by people of color!
Drink Dole today, forgive me for the typo!
