Chapter 566: The True Purpose of the Europeans

As the chairman of Vale, Conrad should not be interested in a stream like Glencore. The gangster company has some scruples, but in fact, the world's largest iron ore producer is still a little uneasy about Glencore.

"Don, can I call you that?" Conrad asked.

Tang Feng nodded unhesitantly.

"If three or four years ago, whether we were Vale or Pedro's MBR, we wouldn't have had to worry about Glencore, because at that time, Glencore had to rely on us a lot of times," Conrad said. But now it's different, since Glencore acquired Strata in 2013, the company's appetite has become bigger and bigger, and with their way of doing things, coupled with the downturn in the international mining industry in the past two years, they have begun to attack the source of some basic materials. Hope. ”

Tang Feng asked, "You mean to say that Glencore has taken a fancy to Brazil's iron ore resources?" ”

Conrad nodded and said, "According to our analysis, I'm afraid this is indeed the case. As we all know, Brazil has the best iron ore resources in the world, otherwise Vale would not have been able to become the world's largest iron ore producer with a market value of more than $20 billion. This is all because of Brazil's unique resources! ”

Pedro on the side continued: "Don, according to our investigation, Glencore Strata has already begun to try to enter the iron ore industry in Brazil, in fact, if it weren't for your action, this beast would have broken into our Brazil by now." ”

"Oh? My shot? Could it be that Anglo American and Glencore are still connected? Tang Feng asked puzzled.

Pedro nodded and said, "Don, I know about this matter. We learned about Glencore's plans back when Anglo American invested in the Minas Rio Tinto iron ore project. You know, the Minas Rio Tinto project is not a small project. In 2014, Anglo American even invested US$8.8 billion in this project, and as far as we know, it was Glencore who backed Anglo American to obtain the project. ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It seems that it was my shot, and I was caught off guard when I hit Glencore!" ”

Conrad smiled and said, "That's right, that's exactly what happened. To know. Glencore's action this time is not small, which not only involves Anglo American, but also Rio Tinto. Don, some time ago, you must have heard that Glencore wanted to prepare to acquire Rio Tinto in Australia after swallowing Strata, right? ”

Tang Feng nodded, he had heard of this matter. Glencore broke the news that it wanted to acquire Rio Tinto the year before last, which caused a lot of chickens and dogs in the global mining industry, because with Glencore's channels and capabilities, once it really acquired Rio Tinto. Then BHP Billiton will inevitably be pulled down from the number one position in the world. The most important thing is that, with Glencorestrata's ambitions, this statement is not necessarily groundless, but a very likely thing.

Of course, if Rio Tinto is really acquired by Glencore Strata, there will definitely be more interests involved, such as Anglo American, which is very closely related to Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and even more likely to be involved in this later. For example, the financial war between the two major blocs in Europe and the United States suddenly broke out this time.

Conrad continued: "According to our investigation, Glencore Strata's acquisition of Rio Tinto is not a gimmick that came out of nowhere. But it's true, if you don't intervene, Rio Tinto is likely to marry Glencore Strata at the end of this year, and Anglo American will also be involved. The accuracy rate of this matter can be said to be as high as 80%, but we don't know the specific content of the cooperation. ”

Tang Feng shook his head slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Mr. Conrad, Mr. Pedro, I have grasped some of the veins of hearing you say this. If my judgment is correct, the main messenger behind Glencore Strata's acquisition of Rio Tinto is not Anglo American. Rather, there are bigger people presiding over the merger, and Anglo American is just a hand of that main messenger. ”

After a pause, Tang Feng said: "The financial war that broke out in the first two months must both know what is going on, it is a financial war launched by the old European aristocracy who want to regain its former glory and against those big conglomerates in the United States, the eight major gold producers are the first wave of attacks against Newmont Mining, in their plan, when they take Newmont Mining in one go, they will attack another mining giant in the United States, Freeport McMollen, once they defeat Freeport McMorel, Then the Europeans will attack the US economy on all fronts. The reason why Europeans started from the mining industry is because of the recession in the mining industry in the past two years, and the confidence of shareholders in mining companies is generally insufficient, so those Europeans plan to buy the bottom. ”

Tang Feng turned around, faced the vast lake, and said lightly: "The Europeans have a very good plan, they plan to kill the American economy at the same time, but also take the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits, and those countries that are close to the United States and have high-quality mining resources are the last wave of targets for the Europeans." The Europeans will certainly take advantage of the fact that the Americans have lost and have no time to take care of other countries, and attack the targets they have in mind, such as you Brazil, Chile and Peru! ”

Hearing Tang Feng say this, both Conrad and Pedro gasped. For this war between Europe and the United States, the two of them have heard some insiders, but they don't know the core content, but Tang Feng is different, as one of the main forces on the United States side, Tang Feng knows the inside story of this economic war in great detail.

This plan of the Europeans is undoubtedly very good, compared to the huge amount of money obtained in the financial market, these most basic mineral resources are more precious things. And countries like Brazil, Chile, and Peru, which are known as the backyard of the United States, once they lose the protection of the United States, how can they be opponents of the Europeans?

And who else would be best suited to do this kind of thing than the madman-like Glencore Strata of the companies that plundered the mineral resources of Brazil, Chile and Peru?

As the leader of the European side of the European economic war between Europe and the United States, the relationship between the Rothschild family and BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto is almost known to everyone on the earth, and if Glencore can merge Rio Tinto, if there is no consent from the Rothschild family, how can Glencore swallow Rio Tinto?

When all these clues are connected, the true purpose of the Europeans is clear at a glance! (To be continued.) )
