Chapter 185: You Have a Lot of Options
The second weeping zuihou with a long distance was like a heavy hammer hammer hammered into Ma Kuzhi, so that he could no longer maintain a calm appearance. A hematite mine with a grade of more than 65 percent in Western Europe, even if it is a small iron ore, is extremely valuable. He originally thought that the mine would be in China, or in Asia, in that case, even if Albert Steel Company got its exact location cheaply, then it would be a lot of problems to apply to the country where it was located for mining and transportation, and even if it was shipped back to Europe, it would not be cheaper than buying iron ore from those old mining companies, and it would be better to sell it to Asian steel companies on the spot. In this case, although it is definitely profitable, it is not an amazing profit.
However, if this mine is located in Western Europe, it will be completely different, first, whether it is mining and transportation, it will be quite convenient, and more importantly, it can be used as a reserve mine under the name of Albert Iron and Steel Company! The iron ore mines in Europe have been mined for more than 100 years since the Industrial Revolution, and many mines have been exhausted, and the annual output can no longer meet the needs of European iron and steel enterprises, and every year Albayd Iron and Steel Company needs to import a large amount of iron ore. A rich mine in Western Europe, even if it is a small iron ore, is no less significant than the discovery of a large or medium-sized iron ore on other continents. Marcus's mind was racing, and in just a few seconds, there were many, many thoughts already going through his mind.
Fang Mingyuan changed the topic at this time, and talked with Agasha about the itinerary of the two days, and said no more about exchanging the mine site for jishu.
Marcus understood that this was Fang Mingyuan's negotiation skills, and it was also a response to his attitude just now. But after understanding it, he could only speak: "Mr. Fang, how did you know about the existence of that mine?" Looking at Fang Mingyuan's age, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old, and it is not easy for people in this country to go abroad, how did he know about the mines in Western Europe?
"This is a long-term problem" Not only Marcus, but everyone in the car pricked up their ears, which was their common question.
"It's a secret, though, and I think I have the right to keep it. Fang Mingyuan looked at everyone's curious gazes, and the scenery was very slight. It elicited a sigh. Marcus rubbed his hands and asked solemnly, "Mr. Fang, do you have the relevant geological exploration report in your hand?"
"Geological exploration report? hehe, I won't show you if I have it, I've already told it, it's a secret. "Fang Mingyuan is so tidy.
Marcus frowned and said, "How can Mr. Fang guarantee that this mine does exist, and it has reached the grade you said?"
"Quite simply, if we reach an agreement, then the contract can be notarized at a European notary office, and then the exploration can be organized, and I can pay all the expenses in advance.
If the iron ore is discovered, and the grade and reserves meet the standards agreed upon by us, then the contract will come into effect, and you must pay all the exploration expenses and the exchange we have agreed upon by me. If, say, no iron ore was found, or rather. If the grade and reserves do not meet the standards we agreed, then the contract will be invalid!" Fang Mingyuan said indifferently.
Marcus nodded, Fang Mingyuan's proposal was very reasonable, eliminating the possibility of deception.
"It's not fair!" Mitsuri Uda suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh?, Miss Uda, Weishenme?" said Marcus, looking confused.
"Fang Jun, I remember that in terms of the current mainstream steelmaking jishu, the grade of ore is related to a considerable steelmaking cost, if the grade of ore exceeds your agreement, every one percent increase. The cost of a ton of steel can be reduced by tens of dollars, it is a small iron mine, and the reserves are tens of millions of tons, so didn't you give them at least hundreds of millions of dollars in vain! Fang Jun, such a big thing, you don't notify me in advance, although my family is not very involved in the steel industry, it is not difficult to find a company that is interested in your proposal. Please give me two days!" said Mitsuri Uda excitedly.
Marcus hurriedly said: "No, no, Miss Uda, Mr. Fang was the first to contact our Albert Steel Company, and there was no negotiation between us and Mr. Fang
"Before you reach a formal agreement, I think any steel company has the right to get involved!" Uda Mitsuri said solemnly, "Fang Jun, what you want, our Japanese steel company can also provide it, and we are willing to pay more to Fang Jun for the improvement of the grade of iron ore!"
Marcus was in a hurry, although he knew that Uda Mitsuri was likely to be just Fang Mingyuan's "trust", but the Japanese were also world-famous for their greed for mineral resources, a rich mine, in exchange for steelmaking, was not an unacceptable condition for them. As far as Marcus knows, the Jishu exchanges between Huaxia and Japanese steel companies have become more and more in-depth in recent years. If this matter is involved in a Japanese iron and steel company, it will be troublesome, and Japan, which has no local mineral resource reserves, will definitely not let go.
And what's more troublesome is that the Japanese are more familiar with the Chinese people's sophistication, not to mention this kind of negotiation that has just begun to contact, that is, it has been a negotiation for a long time, as long as the contract is not signed in black and white, the Japanese can make you yellow. The Beijing office of Albert Steel Company has two orders this year, which were intercepted by Japanese iron and steel companies, whose strength is far inferior to that of Albayd Iron and Steel Company. If this small iron-rich mine is robbed by the Japanese steel company, the headquarters will definitely not give itself a good look after knowing about it.
"This" Fang Mingyuan pretended to hesitate and said, "Personally, I still appreciate it."
"If you have to ask for the Jishu of Eurosteel, then I can help you contact the head of the Spanish company of Acelaria Steel and the French company of Northern Iron and Steel Co., or the head of the German company ThyssenKrupp or the Scandinavian group, as long as you agree to accompany me to the United States once. Really, with your relationship with the Americans, let them contact a few American steel companies, as long as the jishu you want is not high-end, I don't think there is a steel company that has more iron mines under their name! You have a lot of choice, you can't afford to ignore the entire forest for the sake of a tree!"
