Chapter 885: First in the World

With the success of the acquisition of Glencore Strata and the completion of Fiji's Magava rare earth mine, Tang's Anglo-American Glencore has become a veritable mining giant.

Prior to the acquisition of Glencore Strata, the focus of Tang's Anglo American Group was on the six divisions of the Mining Division, but with the acquisition of Glencore Strata, the world's king of sales, the structure of the entire Down's Anglo American Group immediately underwent a drastic change.

Glencore Strata is the king of sales in the world, and the ratio of sales to its market capitalization and assets is staggering. In this world, there are companies with higher assets than Glencore Strata, and some companies with higher market value than Glencore Strata, but in terms of sales, there are only nine companies with higher sales than Glencore Strata in the world.

And what are these nine companies? Wal-Mart, the world's largest chain; PetroChina, Sinopec, Dutch Shell, British BP, ExxonMobil, these are all among the world's leading oil companies; Huaxia State Grid, the world's largest power company; Volkswagen AG and Toyota Motor Corporation, the world's top two automakers.

It is these nine companies, and only these nine companies, that can surpass Glencore Strata in sales, and other famous companies, although both in terms of market value and total assets, far exceed Glencore Strata, but they are far behind Glencore Strata in terms of sales, which shows that the nickname of "King of Sales" is not nonsense.

The reason why Tang spent so much effort to acquire Glencore Strata was for the sales channel of Glencore Strata. As the world's largest mining company, although Tang's Anglo-American Group has many high-quality mines and mines that make others jealous, because Tang's Anglo-American Group has risen too fast and has insufficient foundation, its sales channels have become a shortcoming.

A business that lacks a sales channel. It's definitely not a first-class company!

Therefore, after using various methods to finally take Glencore Strata into the bag, Tang's Anglo-American Glencore can be regarded as truly becoming a first-class or even super-first-class enterprise.

The most important thing is that with the addition of Glencore Strata, the entire strategic industrial structure of Tang's Anglo-American Glencore can be significantly adjusted. Adjust some unreasonable structures to the best, so that the mines and mines under the name of Tang's Anglome Glencore can give full play to their advantages of low mining cost and high quality and low price of mineral products, so as to occupy a quarter of the global mineral product market in one fell swoop!

That's right, when Tang's Anglo-American Group acquired Glencore Strata, almost all mining experts in the world came to such a data, that is, the merged Tang's Anglo-American Glencore will rely on high-quality and low-cost mineral products, perfect sales channels and the advantages of almost all mineral product varieties in a very short period of time, occupy at least 25% of the global mining market share!

This is an extremely frightening number. This means that once Tang's Anglo-Glencore is truly integrated, then one out of every four people in this world will be using Tang's Anglo-Glencore minerals

It's not a monopoly, but it's actually more terrifying than a monopoly.

In this world, there may be mining companies that can form a monopoly on a single mineral product, such as Dai Dai in the diamond industry. Beers, a company that a few decades ago accounted for 90% of global diamond production and sales

But until now, no other company has been able to capture such a large market share in the mineral industry. To know. The market share occupied by Tang's Anglo-American Carcore is almost the market share of all minerals. And not like to wear. Beers is just a single mineral.

Tang Mining really started with the development of the Beaumont oil field, followed by the development of the Gravina gold mine, and with these two extremely low-cost mines, Tang Mining has become one of the world's leading mining giants.

Subsequently, during the outbreak of economic war in Europe and the United States, Tang's Mining cooperated with the three major families of China and the United States to develop the famous Mutong Iron Ore Mine in Bolivia. Then it developed the St. Lawrence Copper Mine in Argentina, which greatly expanded the strength of Tang Mining with the grade and reserves of the St. Lawrence Copper Mine and the low cost of extraction.

And when Tang Feng made a brazen move and annexed Anglo American in an unreasonable way, he took advantage of some advantageous projects of Anglo American Group. Coupled with the development of the Arica copper-gold mine in Chile, the Gulf of Anegada oil and gas field in Argentina and the Nevada gold mine in the United States, Tang's Anglo-American Group has completely secured its position as the world's largest mining giant.

Especially after Anglo American merged into Tang's Mining, Tang's Mining formed a diversified mining situation.

After the merger, after the reorganization, the mining department, its core department, was divided into six mining divisions, covering iron ore, copper ore, precious metals, oil and gas, coal and gemstones.

In terms of iron ore, Tang's Mining did not have iron ore or even base metals and ferrous metals in the past, mainly because Tangfeng, the big boss, looked down on this kind of minerals with low value, so in addition to Mutong Iron Mine, Tang's Mining did not develop mineral products in this area. However, some projects in which Anglo American has a very strong advantage in ferrous metals and base metals, such as the three major iron ore projects such as Cooper Mining in South Africa and Minas Rio Tinto in Brazil, can make Tang's Anglo American Group enter the world's top ranks in iron ore, ferrous metals and base metals.

In addition to iron ore, ferrous metals and base metals, Anglo American is also ranked extremely high in the world in terms of coal, and coal, as a more important mineral product than oil and gas, Tang Feng is also aware of his own shortcomings, so with the help of Anglo American Coal Project, Tang Anglo American Group has also begun to get involved in the coal industry.

With a 49% stake in the former Anglo American coal project and Tang's 49% stake in the super anthracite coalfield developed by Tang in Inner Mongolia, the combined Anglo American Group has risen from being the world's fifth largest coal supplier in the world's coal business.

Of course, at Tang's suggestion, Tang's Anglo-American Group also divided some of the chicken-like businesses of the former Anglo American Group. Like Dai. Beers is mainly involved in the diamond and other gemstone industries, but Tang Feng developed the jadeite mine and the ruby sapphire mine in China, and built an emerald mine in Argentina and went to Africa. Beers is no longer of much use to the Down's Anglo-American Group.

So I took advantage of the wear. The brand of Beers is still worth enough money, and Tang Feng retains Dai. After the Namibia Diamond Trading Company, a subsidiary of Beers, Dai Diamond Trading Company. The rest of Beals' properties were all sold in a package, bringing back nearly $10 billion for Down's Anglo-American.

The reason for retaining the Namibia Diamond Trading Company is mainly because there are still a large number of undeveloped diamonds on the Namibian Diamond Coast, and the retention of this company can allow Tang's Anglo-American Group to occupy 50% of the development rights of Namibia's Diamond Coast, and with the company's diamond mining rights, the 1.6 billion carats of diamonds that Tang Feng placed on Lausara Island will not be touched for the time being

As for Anglo American Copper, a subsidiary of the former Anglo American Resources Group, it is even more chicken for Tang. With the St. Lawrence Copper-Gold Mine and the Arica Copper-Gold Mine, two super copper-gold mines, Anglo American's copper mines can be sold. The mining cost is high, the profitability is low, and those mines are left dry?

Therefore, as early as the time of Tang's Anglo-American Group, the mineral products under the name of this mining giant were already extremely rich.

After taking over Glencore Strata, Tang's Anglo-American Glencore name has a richer range of minerals. As the world's fourth-largest mining company, Glencore Strata is among the world's leading producers and distributors of many mineral products. Prior to its acquisition by Down's Anglo-American Group, Glencore Strata held a series of titles such as the world's largest thermal coal trading company and ferrochrome producer, the largest zinc producer, the third largest copper miner and the fourth largest nickel miner. Glencore Strata accounts for 15% of the world's zinc production and controls a staggering 30% of the global thermal coal market.

After all, Glencore Strata was also famous for mergers and acquisitions in the past, and through a series of robber-like mergers and acquisitions, Glencore Strata also owned many mines under its name, including mines such as uranium, base metals, oil, copper, and gold.

Of course, many of the mines under the name of Glencore Strata are also chicken ribs for Tang Feng, so after eliminating some chicken rib-like mines, retaining high-quality mines such as thermal coal and base metal mines, and forming a complementary and joint relationship with some mining resources under the name of the former Anglo American Group, Tang's Anglo American Carnancore's mineral products are more diverse.

In addition, the newly developed Magava rare earth mine, the mineral products under the name of Tang's Anglo-American Glencore cover almost all the mineral products on the market, and in copper, iron, base metals, ferrous metals, coal, oil and gas, precious metals, gemstones, uranium ore, rare earths, etc., except for iron and uranium ore, the production capacity is only ranked third in the world, and the production capacity or reserves of other minerals are ranked first in the world, which is definitely a veritable world mining giant!

Just as Anglo American, which was the world's fifth-largest coal supplier, has now joined forces to rank first in the world in the thermal coal industry, Glencore Strata, the new Down's Anglo-American Glencore immediately jumped to the world's first place in coal production and sales; The two major oil and gas fields under the name of Tang Mining have surpassed ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell in terms of reserves alone, plus the oil and gas fields under the name of the former Anglo American Resources Group and Glencore Strata, the potential of Tang Anglo American Glencore in oil and gas is definitely beyond the reach of other oil and gas companies; As for the copper mines, it is even more incredible, and the St. Lawrence copper-gold mines and Arica copper-gold mines alone are enough to shock the world

Therefore, although the current Tang's Anglo-American Glencore has not yet been completely integrated, its potential and reserves of mines and mines under its name are definitely the world's first! (To be continued.) )
