Chapter 31 - Mitsui in action

There are some things that can't be hidden, such as Mitsui Hanako's matter, not to mention the escape, at that time, many people with heads and faces in Japan and South Korea saw it, and Mitsui Hanako's remarriage to Li Zaithan was also known by many people, Mitsui Hanako was kidnapped, Li Zaizhan used a lot of relationships, and he couldn't hide it from others, and now he was poisoned in the hospital, how can it be seen that the person doing things is aimed at the Li family and the Mitsui family.

The two major families of Japan and South Korea are being played with like this, and it is in Samsung's turf Seoul, just thinking about it, there is an incredible feeling, although the media is controlled to prevent them from talking nonsense, but South Korea has long entered the Internet era, and there are many people who talk about this kind of gossip with IcQ, and these people's mouths are not sealed if they can be sealed, even Samsung can't do it.

Mitsui waited in the hospital for more than half a month, and after receiving a call from his father, he hurried to Perth, Western Australia, and read all the recent information of Liu Xi clearly on the plane......

Closing the information in his hand, Mitsui closed his eyes for a long time, and never slept until the plane landed at Perth Airport. As soon as he saw the person sent by Rio Tinto to pick him up, he said, "I need to have a good talk with Mr. Charlie." "

Needless to say, Charlie, the president of Rio Tinto, and Anderson, the president of BHP Billiton, were already waiting for him in the conference room.

Mitsui's identity, whether it is the executive director of Nippon Steel, the future heir of the Mitsui family, or the director of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, is not something Charlie and Anderson can take lightly.

"Do you know when Liu Xi's Xu is in contact with a private mine owner?" Mitsui Jian nodded slightly and thanked the secretary who gave him the teacup, looked at Charlie and Anderson and asked......

"I know, Charlie doesn't know, but I don't think it's too important......" Anderson shrugged.

Originally, some of those private mine owners still have rare earth mines in their hands, and it is not a big deal to contact the president of Liu Xi.

And these associations of private mine owners also said that Anderson was making some fuss.

It's just that looking at it now, I'm afraid it's not a fuss.

"Anderson didn't expect Liu Xi to be interested in iron ore, at that time Liu Xi spun off Liu Gang to the Liushui government, is it too late to make iron ore now? We didn't expect the price of Liu to be so high. Charlie sighed, "At their purchase price, they barely made a penny." "

"It's going to be a loss." Anderson added, "As far as I can see, their move is a bad move, and only fools do it......"

Mitsui pursed his lips and didn't speak, as far as he knew, it was impossible for Yu Jun to make such a low-level mistake.

"I also asked the legislators I knew to speak for us, they have not yet been approved by the Ministry of Commerce, and most importantly, they proposed that once the acquisition of the railway, the berths and the mining are carried out at the same time, then they will lose more than $6 per ton of iron ore, and 120 million US dollars a year based on 20 million tons......"

"Is $120 million a lot for a company like Liu Xi that is expected to reach 50 billion in sales this year?" Mitsui Jian suddenly asked, "Is it a lot for Yu who controls Liu Xi, Jinshan, and Yundian?" He got almost $3 billion in dividends from Xiling this year alone, enough to lose money for 20 years......"

Charlie and Anderson were speechless at each other, and the secret that Yu Jun held absolute control over Xiling was not a secret, but whether it was 51% or 99% was worth guessing.

But the net worth of $80 billion is underestimated.

"Chinese companies in terms of resource acquisition, squeezed by us, the remaining space is not large, some strategic losses, irrelevant, besides, you are not planning to increase prices sharply at the end of the year? Aren't you optimistic about China's economic development? If you put real estate as a pillar industry in China, you can compare the need for iron ore in Japan's real estate development, and China's population is much higher than that of Japan, so China's iron ore needs to be much more dependent on imports...... In this way, in the next few years, 18 US dollars and 1 ton of iron ore may reach 180 US dollars in the future, so that the investment of 9 billion US dollars will get 3.6 billion US dollars per year, and after 15 years, it will be 54 billion US dollars, more than 5 times the rate of return......"

Mitsui Jian said and swept at Charlie and Anderson, who looked shocked, and sneered: "Do you not believe my estimate of the increase in iron ore prices, or are you surprised by his judgment of the entire market?" "

Charlie hesitated and said, "If this is the case, then he, on what basis does he make a judgment?" Now iron ore is only 18 US dollars 1 ton, 10 times, can he really make such a judgment? "

"A man who becomes the richest man in the world in 5 or 6 years, if he doesn't have accurate judgment, what can he do?" Mitsui said coldly, "If you underestimate your own strength and strength is stronger than your opponent, the consequences will be extremely strict, and it will also be disrespectful to your opponent......"

Charlie and Anderson, two men in their forties and fifties, listened to Ken Mitsui, a man in his thirties, say such a lesson, but they didn't have the strength to refute at all.

Did the man named Yu Jun really think so?

"Even if it reaches 100 US dollars and 1 ton, it is also very remarkable for the whole Liuxi, and after the acquisition of 300 million tons of iron ore, they also have a certain pricing power, and then negotiate with Chinese steel companies in the future, how can we get a favorable position?" Anderson frowned......

"The income of 54 billion US dollars in 15 years can only be regarded as the icing on the cake for Liu Xi," Mitsui said lightly, "I look at his layout, this move is mainly arranged in the negotiation of iron ore, and the investment of 20 billion US dollars is just a drop in the bucket for Xiling." "

Charlie felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, Rio Tinto can be regarded as a behemoth, but compared with the more powerful giant of Xiling, can Rio Tinto defeat it?

"Mr. Charlie, you seem to be cringinging?" Mitsui asked, noticing the expression on his face.

"No, no, I think that the price of iron ore is under our control, reaching more than 100 US dollars per ton, and he wants to help China's iron and steel companies in iron ore negotiations, so what benefits can he get?" Charlie wondered......

"He can gain the trust of the government," Mitsui explained, "The most important thing for Chinese companies is to do a good job in government relations, Mitsui has done a good job in China, but it is far from enough, Xiling's government is very strong, but it is potentially underwater, most people can't see it, some like Mitsui and Rio Tinto, have strong government public relations capabilities, and have a huge influence on government decision-making." If this can be done, it will have a positive effect on the development of Xiling companies in the future, and he will even be regarded as a hero in China. "

Charlie pondered the meaning of Mitsui's words and said: "I don't believe that a Chinese can have such great courage and strength, let alone such a long-term layout and imagination, but I am willing to believe you, Mr. Mitsui, what you say...... What do you think we should do now? "

"You go to talk to the mine owners one by one, hoping that they can cooperate with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and I will talk to Prime Minister Howard." Mitsui stood up and said.

"But none of those mine owners are easy to talk about, and we can't afford to buy them now, and even if they can, they may not be able to sell them." Anderson smiled wryly.

Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton can be said to be a hegemon in Western Australia, a strong dragon, and a sitting tiger, those ground snakes are almost out of breath, and now they want to go to them, what good words can they say in their mouths?

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way to do it," Mitsui pursed his mouth into a line, with a resolute expression on his face, "This is in the interests of you and Mitsui Trading, otherwise, when that guy completes the layout of Western Australia, God knows what the future will be, I don't want to see a touchless future......"

With that, he pushed the door open and walked away.

Charlie and Anderson looked at each other speechlessly, shook their heads and got up to pick up their coats, and prepared to arrange for the people below to talk to the mine owner's family, there are more than 300 of these people, and it is really a shame that after only one month's work, Xiling persuaded them all.

"We want to talk about the key mine owners individually, if it really doesn't work, let's find a way to increase the issuance, and we must receive all these iron ores." Anderson patted Charlie on the shoulder with a wry smile.

"Is it possible? Anderson!" Charlie smiled bitterly, "Decades ago, I wanted to receive all these iron ores in my hands, but I haven't even received them yet, and they are very stiff-necked." I really don't know how they will sell to the Chinese. "

"The Chinese's bid is high," Anderson thought of this and sighed, "even if it is additional financing, investors should know that we are doing this kind of loss-making trading, the probability of success of additional issuance is very low, and it is easy to let the stock price fall, this is really difficult to do." "

Listed companies have to face the pickiness of investors, which is a kind of constraint that can not be trusted to do what they want to do after being able to obtain financing after listing.

There are pros and cons to this.

"Why don't you report it to the group and let them use an unlisted company for the acquisition?" Charlie said.

"No, no, no, we still need to do our best now, and besides, using those companies to buy them is also the signature of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and those old stubborns will not sell iron ore to us lightly." Anderson shook his head.

"It's not okay to be left, it's not okay to be right, can you only talk about it one by one? Will we be able to convince them? Charlie sighed.

"It said that if you want to listen to Mr. Mitsui, just do what he said first, even if something happens, it is Mr. Mitsui's fault, and it has nothing to do with us." Anderson laughed.

Charlie also relaxed, in the end, they are just part-time workers, senior managers.
