[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]

The price increase of Baosteel and the increase in the price of international iron ore still made domestic experts and scholars discuss for a while.

For Baosteel's advance, many people also think that it is reasonable, the reason is that when Baosteel sensitively finds that the international iron ore price has a tendency to increase, then in order to digest this unfavorable news in advance, it is imperative to increase prices, otherwise it will not be enough to offset the economic losses caused by the rise in raw materials.

"As an enterprise with independent profits and losses, Baosteel's approach is in line with economic laws." At a seminar of economic experts convened by the State Council, some people defended Baosteel in this way.

Boss Zhu listened quietly, he had a short period of experience in Shanghai, and emotionally hoped that Baosteel would make such a decision to raise prices, which was a reasonable reason, but at this time, judging from the atmosphere of the venue, it seemed that the experts did not agree on this.

In particular, Yang Xusheng, a more radical economic expert in China, loudly refuted the other party's statement, "As an enterprise with independent profits and losses, it is true that it can have the freedom to decide to raise prices, but it is also necessary to take into account our national conditions, after all, our economic system is different from others, and Baosteel is also the majority of state-owned capital, so we can't do what we want to do, but we must also take into account the overall situation." As soon as he raised the price, the domestic economic situation has changed a lot, and the inflation, which we have managed to stabilize with great difficulty, is likely to come back again. ”

People on both sides express their opinions. In other words, everyone thinks that their opinion is correct.

Fan Wuxian was invited by Boss Zhu to come. It's interesting to listen to the debates of these experts, and if you don't know about this beforehand, and you don't feel like you're in the situation, you can't tell which of them is right.

But if it's like Fan Wuxi. After listening to their words, those who understand some of the details of the front desk can easily feel that these experts and scholars are already speaking for certain interest groups in fact.

It's inevitable, as the old saying goes, the history of science. There are no borders, but scientists have a motherland, and these experts are the same, since everyone is not a person living in a vacuum, then these problems of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea need someone to help them solve, otherwise just rely on their own little dead salary, how can they afford a well-known scholar or a famous expert's archway?

There is a way to take people's hands short, and eat people's mouths softly, since they have won other people's. It is not surprising that the ideas of experts are often very bizarre and in most cases do not represent the interests of the public.

Boss Zhu had a little headache when he heard this, and after seeing Fan Wuxi, he sent a . Now Mr. Fan was sitting there with a smile and a big mouth, looking like he was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he named Fan Wuxian and asked him to talk about his opinion.

Fan Wuxian is there. told a joke to the young waitress who served tea and poured water, but he was a little embarrassed that Boss Zhu called him by name, and his heart was discovered by Boss Zhu that he couldn't take this kind of serious meeting seriously.

However, Fan Wuxie's face was already much thicker, and after being named by Boss Zhu, he stood up, smiled and nodded around, and then said, "I listened to the speeches of your seniors just now, and the juniors are still very rewarding. After all, an expert is an expert, a scholar is a scholar, and this theoretical level is really a kettle hanging on an airplane, and the level is very high! ”

Listening to Fan Wuxian talking in the vernacular here, everyone looked at each other a little, everyone basically knew Fan Wuxi, and they also knew that this is the god of stocks when they entered the stock market, the god of business when they entered the shopping mall, and the god of business when they started the entity, even if they were in the ring, they were also the young heroes of the god of PK Fan Wuxi, everyone never dared to underestimate such a character, and even many people were studying Fan Wuxi's family history, trying to figure out why he was able to become a ***?

But today, Fan Wuxian said such a lot of nonsense, which made everyone a little puzzled.

After all, this is an economic seminar held by the premier of the State Council, but it's not like our old and young masters sitting under the big locust tree when they are bored and idle.

Mr. Fan, why don't you talk about something meaningful? It's really a good thing to talk like this! A lot of people think so.

The first person who couldn't listen to it was Boss Zhu, he saw that Fan Wuxian was still there to show off his mouth, so he frowned and knocked on the table and said, "Mr. Fan, get down to business, say something meaningful, and I didn't let you come to Tianqiao to tell a story!" ”

Hearing Boss Zhu say this, everyone couldn't help but laugh a little, and said in their hearts that this is the close relationship between Boss Zhu and Fan Wuxi, and it is in this kind of informal exchange meeting, otherwise Boss Zhu would definitely not talk like this, everyone is used to seeing his iron face ruthless, and at this time, such a small episode was suddenly inserted, which made the atmosphere a little tense relaxed.

Fan Wuxian smiled, scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I often go to the flyover to read books recently, and I've been infected." Then Fan Wuxian said with a straight face, "I listened to the opinions of several experts just now, and what they said is very reasonable, my personal opinion is that everyone is right." ”

What do you mean by that? Since there are two different opinions, there must naturally be a right and wrong. "Many old experts are dissatisfied.

It's good when there is a conflict of interest, but it cannot be ruled out that many experts can adhere to the principle a little while speaking for the interest group, for example, in the argument of the truth, they cannot compromise, they are right, then others are wrong, and vice versa.

If there is nothing wrong with either side, doesn't it mean that each side plays fifty boards, and both sides want to curry favor, but offend the people on both sides? Experts don't rub sand in their eyes, and they will never have a good impression of you just because you don't support or oppose him, which is the most taboo thing.

In the eyes of experts, one is one, and two is two.

Just when everyone was in a mess, Fan Wuxian continued, "Why do I say such a kind of muddy thing? The fact is very simple, everyone stands at different angles, so the problems they see are different, and there is nothing wrong with each other, if we must find out a mistake, it is that the fault is that the iron ore reserves in our country are too small, the fault is that the iron ore refining technology in our country is too poor, and the fault is that our resource consumption is too high! Otherwise, if we have iron ore as abundant as in the United States or Australia, and if we have iron ore that can be mined directly and can be put into the furnace without being selected, do we all need to argue here about whether we should raise the price? If that's the case, I think everyone's mind is the same, that is, what should we do with so much iron ore? Outlet! What should I do if the price of the export is not good? Raise the price! Unfortunately, now we are on the side of being slaughtered, which is why I say that there is nothing wrong with everyone, what is wrong is that we are too poor in resources! ”

The domestic iron ore resources are very widely distributed, covering more than 700 counties and banners in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country. The national iron ore resources and reserves are more than 60 billion tons.

However, there are many domestic iron ore resources but not rich, mainly medium and low-grade ores, rich ore resource reserves account for less than 2 percent, and poor ore reserves account for half. There are many small and medium-sized mines, few large mines, and even fewer extra-large mines. The ore types are complex, and refractory beneficiation and multi-component symbiotic associated ores account for a significant proportion.

Some mines are difficult to separate and recover, resulting in low recovery rate of iron mineral beneficiation and the loss of a large number of useful components to tailings. Some are mainly low-grade magnetite deposits that are easy to mine and select, and there are a large number of low-grade ores with marginal benefits.

Moreover, the level of domestic iron ore technology and equipment is low, although large and medium-sized iron ore enterprises have some large-scale advanced mining equipment, but the number is very small, most of the specifications are small, the model is miscellaneous, the condition is poor, not matching, overdue service, and serious aging, resulting in large energy consumption of equipment, low efficiency, and generally facing the problem of technological transformation and maintenance. The beneficiation process equipment is backward, the level of automation is low, and many concentrators are basically operated manually, and the efficiency is very low.

At present, there are still some large-scale iron and polymetallic deposits in China that have not been developed and utilized, and one of the main reasons is that the beneficiation technology is not up to standard. It is necessary to carry out experimental research on beneficiation of refractory ores that have not yet been developed, seek effective beneficiation technology, and provide technical support for their development and utilization.

At present, iron ore enterprises strip 600 million tons of waste rock every year, and discharge about 500 million tons of tailings, which has a negative impact on the ecological environment. At present, although there is progress in the re-selection of tailings, the overall scale is not large and not very common.

There is also the comprehensive recycling of associated resources is not enough, the comprehensive recovery of iron ore associated beneficial elements, is to make full use of mineral resources, improve the economic benefits of the mine is an important measure.

At present, Panzhihua, Daye, Chengchao, Jinshandian, Shandong Jinling, Laigang Mazhuang and other mines have carried out comprehensive recycling of beneficial elements rich in ores. In particular, the titanium in Panzhihua vanadium titanomagnetite is an extremely important beneficial component, and its economic value far exceeds that of iron itself.

Although certain achievements and economic benefits have been made in comprehensive utilization, the varieties and recovery rates are not ideal. Breakthroughs in key recycling technologies have not been made, resulting in some important metal elements currently not being recovered, such as most of the niobium-tantalum and rare earths in the Baiyun Obo iron ore mine.

All this has caused the domestic demand for iron ore to always be greater than the output, and with the development of the economy and the continuous increase of infrastructure, the demand for steel is increasing day by day, and the import of overseas iron ore is also more dependent.

"Iron and steel is the basic project of the country's economic construction, an indispensable and important part, but it is a pity that although our domestic iron ore reserves are quite a lot, but there are very few that can be developed and utilized, which is probably a test of God for us, not to give us an opportunity to live an easy life." Fan Wuxian continued, "But it doesn't matter, if you don't have it in China, you can go abroad to do it!" Whether it is Australia or Brazil, there are high-grade iron ores, since we have determined that the domestic demand for iron ore will continue to grow, so why not take precautions and go overseas to develop the international market? It's better than sitting here and arguing about whether or not we should raise prices, right? ”

After Fan Wuxi's words came out, everyone suddenly calmed down, and everyone fell into thought.

In fact, Fan Wuxian's remarks also point out a common shortcoming in China, that is, the study of the international market is not thorough enough, and the content studied by many so-called economic experts is nothing more than a little old thing that the Americans have long turned over, and now they have picked it up and worshiped it like a god, as if they have understood these things and know the reason for the rise of the Americans.

In fact, the national conditions of Americans are different from ours, so there are many things that cannot be directly transferred and used, and many financial derivatives are extremely dangerous projects in the United States, and ordinary people are not allowed to set foot in them, but after moving to China, they are trying their best to sell them to ordinary people, which is completely irresponsible.

Boss Zhu also listened carefully to Fan Wuxi's remarks, and he sensitively noticed Fan Wuxi's main idea, which is to develop overseas markets and build mines overseas to reverse the unfavorable situation of domestic imported iron ore prices increasing year after year.

But Boss Zhu is also very clear, when it comes to fighting each other in China, these experts are right, but if they really want to fight overseas, there are few who have the courage to take on this task.

However, the development of overseas markets is indeed a good medicine to solve the serious shortage of domestic iron ore demand, and Fan Wuzhi pointed out the lack of domestic policies from this aspect, which can indeed be called a good doctor.

But if you really want to open up overseas markets, who should be responsible? Boss Zhu was thinking in his heart, Baosteel must not be good, from these few incidents, it can already be seen that the Japanese chaebol is deeply infiltrating all fields of Baosteel, to put it bluntly, they have lost their independent power and ability, and they can't count on it.

"Does this matter also need to rely on Fan Wuxian to solve it?" Boss Zhu frowned and looked at Fan Wuxi, who was sitting down to drink tea to moisten his throat, and was a little hesitant in his heart.

Fan Wuxian didn't expect that he couldn't help but make such a high-minded statement, and he got himself into it again.

There are no pop-ups
