Chapter 425: The price of iron ore has risen

Shi Hongbao's angry o! On the surface, what Gong Xinglong said is very reasonable, and he also knows that Jiang Feng is now a red entry of the military, especially Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, which is a military enterprise that the military attaches great importance to. Because of Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, the military also awarded Jiang Feng the rank of colonel for the first time in history.

However, Shi Hongbao knows better the relationship between Jiang Feng and Gong Xinglong, if Gong Xinglong is released, Jiang Feng will definitely not trouble him. Now Gong Xinglong didn't put it in, and said that Jiang Feng didn't agree, which was completely fooling him.

Therefore, Shi Hongbao was really a little angry, and he said coldly: "Commander Gong, you can do it yourself!" ”

Shi Hongbao hung up the phone angrily, he knew that he had talked to Gong Xinglong for a long time, but it was still very difficult to enter the house. So, Shi Hongbao called the capital and asked the army there to send a letter to the Shicheng Military Division to get it out.

Damn, this Shi Yiguo really has no brains, this little thing is trapped by the don't get in, and it was entered in front of the secretary of the district party committee and the district head, can this be called a family without seeing it?

Second, the capital sent a fax to the Shicheng Military Division, saying that the two military entries were indeed their white spoons, and as for how to deal with them, they would deal with it and would not disappoint the other soldiers.

Since he received the fax from the capital, Gong Xinglong no longer insisted, he called Jiang Feng and told him about it.

But Jiang Feng didn't follow, he said that the other party wanted to beat him, at least he had to give an explanation before he could put it in. If the military division cannot manage it, it will be handed over to the military intelligence bureau.

Gong Xinglong secretly snickered in his heart, he couldn't wait to say this, you beat Jiang Feng, if you don't agree to stop like this when you enter the house, you still have to solve it.

Gong Xinglong fed back Jiang Feng's opinion to the historian in the capital, the historian thought about it, and talked to Rong Guoqiang, and they promised to pay a gift, and they also gave 20,000 yuan as compensation.

In Jiang Feng's eyes, money is a trivial matter, and what he wants is a gift from the Shi family. If they don't apologize, then these two will be placed on the side of the military division. The bodyguards who entered the house did things for your Shi family, but you didn't want to find a way to get the money out, and you won't be so dedicated to doing things for you in the future.

Rong Guoqiang also called Jiang Feng, and he asked Jiang Feng to stop in moderation, not to make too much trouble, otherwise don't think Jiang Feng is too much. Jiang Feng didn't want to make trouble anymore, since the Shi family had already apologized, he would no longer deduct it, he called Gong Xinglong and asked him to put it in.

This incident was originally an introduction, and his purpose was to deal with the affairs of Shicheng No. 1 Middle School. Since Shi Yiguo was humiliated by Jiang Feng in Shicheng, he also left Shicheng. Shi Yiguo knew that his matter of asking for the land of Shicheng No. 1 Middle School would definitely not succeed, and he also knew what kind of entry Jiang Feng was in, and the other party would definitely obstruct him.

What worries Shi Yiguo is that his two bodyguards recruited the matter of dealing with Shicheng No. 1 Middle School at that time, although his subordinates did not sign the confession later, but Jiang Feng also knew about it, if he was still entangled in the matter of Shicheng No. 1 Middle School, he would only move a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Jiang Feng was relieved to hear that Shi Yiguo had left Shicheng. Although he is now one of the top ten richest people in the world, with a net worth of more than 150 billion, his strength is not enough to compete with a big family like the Shi family, unless he leaves the country. But this is obviously impossible, Jiang Feng has not yet had the idea of breaking away from Chinese nationality. Now that the other party doesn't care about him, he won't confront the Shi family.

"The price of iron ore has risen again." Jiang Feng flipped through the newspaper and said with some annoyance.

"The price of iron ore has risen, does this have anything to do with you?" Gao Ziyi, who was helping Jiang Feng make breakfast, asked in some surprise.

Because he wanted to help Gao Mao with the most thorough treatment, Jiang Feng came to Uncle Feng's house very early and didn't have breakfast, so Gao Ziyi volunteered to get them something to eat.

The rise in iron ore prices has a lot to do with Jiang Feng.

To build Shicheng Airport, which will use tens of thousands of tons of steel, Jiang Feng is now planning to carry out technical transformation of the iron factory in Jiangzhou City, so that it can produce a large amount of steel, but there are not too many high-quality iron mines near Jiangzhou, which must rely on imports.

If imports are considered, the main choices are Vale, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.

His first choice was, of course, Brazil's Vale, the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore.

Brazil is extremely rich in iron ore resources, accounting for about 6.5% of the world's total reserves, and is the world's largest producer of iron-rich ore. Vale Brazil, the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore and the largest mining company on the American continent, is known as the jewel in Brazil's crown and the engine of the Amazon. Founded in 1942, the company not only deals in iron ore, but also deals in manganese ore, aluminum, gold ore and other mineral products, as well as pulp, ports, railways and energy.

Vale's iron ore production accounts for 80% of Brazil's total output, and its iron ore resources are concentrated in the Iron Four Corners region and the state of Bará in northern Brazil, with iron ore reserves of about 4 billion tons.

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, on the other hand, are mainly based in Australia. In terms of the difficulty of Cāo, it is easier to work with Vale, and the backstage bosses of BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are British, and these guys are too conservative to deal with.

Dealing with these guys, domestic land entry is useless, so Fan Wuxian is engaged in it with his own overseas company, which is nothing more than the destination of the shipment is Chinese mainland.

Although less than four months have passed this year, the international price of iron ore has risen by about 15 percent, which is also a big loss for Jiang Feng. Therefore, when he saw this news, he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart.

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has continued to maintain a high growth rate, and steel production has grown rapidly. However, the potential of domestic mines to increase production is limited, the grade of iron ore is low, the mining cost is very high, and the ore production has been unable to meet the needs of the growth of steel production, so the import volume of foreign trade has increased rapidly, and the average annual growth rate of imported iron ore has been greater than the incremental growth rate of steel production in recent years.

In 2003, about 148.13 million tons of iron ore were imported through the port, and iron ore has become the largest type of bulk cargo in China's foreign trade, accounting for about 10% of the global ore shipping volume. It plays a pivotal role in the global transportation of iron ore.

However, due to the domestic subway ore import is the enterprise in its own way, so there is some confusion, the domestic steel enterprises have not formed a consortium to negotiate with the international iron ore giants on pricing power, so they have not taken the initiative in the price, only passively accept the price of entering and leaving the country.

The northern region is an important steel production base in China, where there are a large number of iron and steel enterprises, scattered layout, and comparable scale. The ore required by each steel mill is based on the surrounding mines, and the imported ore is mainly used for ore blending or making up for the shortage of its own mines, and most of the imports are about one million tons.

There are many iron and steel enterprises along the Yangtze River, including Baosteel, Shanghai Iron and Steel, Meishan Iron and Steel, Mashan Iron and Steel, Wuhan Iron and Steel and other local iron and steel enterprises, and the steel output accounts for about one-third of the country. The iron ore resources in the region are very scarce, and it is the area with the lowest degree of self-produced ore guarantee in the country, so it is also the area with the largest amount of imported ore in foreign trade, and the foreign trade import of iron ore in the region accounts for more than half of the country.

Due to the characteristics of most iron and steel enterprises along the Yangtze River and the differences in the conditions of rivers and seas, most of the iron ore required by steel mills along the Yangtze River is transited in Beilun Port in Yongcheng.

In the early 80s, in order to cooperate with the construction of Baosteel in Mingzhu City, the Beilun Port Area of Yongcheng Port built China's first 100,000-ton iron ore specialized wharf and supporting transshipment facilities. During this period, China's imports of ore were small, only a few million tons.

After the nineties, with the rapid development of China's iron and steel industry, the import of iron ore has been increasing. Due to the lack of large-scale receiving and unloading terminals, many ports use 30,000 to 50,000 tons of bulk cargo berths to receive and unload ores, and a large number of foreign trade imported mines can only use ships below 50,000 tons to directly arrive at the port, which is especially common in the northern region. Not only is the loading and unloading efficiency of the terminal low, but the transportation cost is also very high, which has caused huge economic losses to the hinterland steel mills.

Thinking that many years later, because of the iron ore matter, the domestic iron and steel companies have been made to survive and not be able to die, Jiang Feng feels that he should do something now, at least the participation of Australian and Brazilian iron ore has just been carried out on a large scale, and now if you can intervene in these three major iron ore production and export companies and control a certain amount of equity, it will be very beneficial for your future development, and it will also be helpful for other domestic steel enterprises.

But if you really want to buy super companies like Rio Tinto or BHP Billiton and Vale, the capital involved must be very large, and based on the current situation, it is estimated that the acquisition of any one of these companies will need to be supported by tens of billions of dollars.

Moreover, there are more complex political factors involved, and there is no willingness to hand over the country's largest mining company to foreign control unless it is forced to do so.

Another way is to vigorously develop your own mining company. Bi Jing, Jiang Group has already set up its own mining company last year, and Jiang Feng has already set up a situation in Africa, controlling several countries with super-large deposits that have not been discovered. In these countries, the ore reserves discovered by the mining exploration personnel privately dispatched by Jiang Feng have exceeded 50 billion tons of iron ore and more than 10 billion tons of copper ore. These ore reserves are more than enough to support a very large mining company.

However, the amount of money needed to develop these mineral deposits is also a small number, and Jiang Feng does not have much liquidity now, which makes Jiang Feng a little annoyed. Jiang Feng was hesitating whether to take some of the many companies under the Jiang Group to go public in order to gain some liquidity and develop some of his planned careers.
