"Twenty-three dollars, excluding tax, not shipped, just the FOB price of the ore." Yun Fei then added to Shen Wenhua in front of him.

This price is that he is ready to quote at will, and then he is ready to slowly negotiate with the Ministry of Mines or those state-owned steel plants, and the reserve price in his heart is only between 19 and 20 US dollars. But the situation has changed, and the three major mining companies are ready to export iron ore to China at a price of 30 US dollars per tonne, which is also not included in freight and taxes, and 30 US dollars is FOB.

"Mr. Yun, can this price be negotiable?" Shen Wenhua frowned and thought for a while, and asked Yun Fei.

The price of twenty-three dollars is not too high for them.

After all, it is much more difficult for these private units to buy iron ore than those state-owned units, and the price is much higher. The ore is imported by the Ministry of Mines as a whole and then distributed to the major steel mills in order to avoid vicious competition.

Private factories in China cannot be compared with state-owned factories, in the eyes of those leaders, one is raised by their own mother, the other is born by their stepmother, and there is an essential difference in the treatment they receive. Shagang Group's business has become more and more prosperous in recent years, but there is not enough ore.

Otherwise, after hearing that Yun Fei had 17 million tons of ore in his hands, Shen Wenhua would not have flown directly to the capital in such a hurry.

The price of twenty-three dollars a ton is not very high, at least it is much cheaper than the ore in the hands of the Shagang Group in the hands of the state, and it will be a lot cheaper with freight or something.

Anyone who buys something is like this, knowing that this thing is very cheap, everyone wants the price to be cheaper.

"What, Mr. Shen thinks our price is too high?" Yun Fei asked Shen Wenhua very calmly about his thoughts. There's nothing to be dissatisfied with. After all, everyone is like this, the cheaper the price of raw materials, the lower the final sales price of the products produced, which will make the products more competitive in the market.

"Mr. Yun, it's not that I think the price is too high, but the transportation cost of these ores is too high to be shipped from West Africa to our country......" Shen Wenhua did not directly say that the idle price was too high, but turned around and said that the transportation distance was too far.

From West Africa to China, giant carriers are used to transport these ores and reduce transportation costs. It is necessary to take the Cape of Good Hope route in southern Africa, and then enter the Indian Ocean, from the Strait of Malacca to China.

The distance is very long, and the transportation cost is very high.

The price of these ores from there to China will be two to three times higher than from Australia, the price of twenty-three dollars a ton, plus the cost of transportation, after arriving in China, this price is not much cheaper than the price of the three major mining companies.

Many domestic steel companies buy these ores. It is often calculated on the basis of the arrival price, after all, there are special transportation companies to transport those ores to some ports in China.

"If it weren't for the long distance, Mr. Shen, do you think you could buy a mine at this price? Don't say anything else. Even if it is four dollars a ton of freight, plus taxes or something, this price will not exceed twenty-eight and a half dollars in the end...... "Yun Fei thinks that the price he asked for is very fair.

Internationally, super-large Capesize bulk carriers are generally used to transport these ore raw materials. In this way, about 150,000 tons can be transported at one time, and the transportation cost can be effectively reduced, the only bad thing is that these transport ships are unable to pass Guò Suez and the Panama Canal.

Other words. Not only ore, but also other bulk cargoes in China are often only able to use this mode of transportation. Whether you are looking for a domestic ocean shipping company or an international one, these prices will not be too high.

If he had enough money to pile all the ore there, in a few years, at most in the year 05, the price of the ore would be more than eighty dollars a ton. In particular, the price of Rio Tinto, the world's largest mining company, is much higher than the price in the ordinary market.

Hearing Yun Fei's words, Shen Wenhua fell silent.

Yun Fei was telling the truth.

However, the current domestic ore price is almost 28.5. Unless the three major mining companies do not raise prices for China, once the price increases, the price given by Yun Fei will be much lower than the price in the domestic iron ore market.

Don't look at the fact that a ton of ore is only a few dollars cheaper, but it is equivalent to dozens of yuan in RMB, and the cost of refining a ton of steel will save hundreds.

"Mr. Yun, we want all these ores!" Shen Wenhua thought about it and quickly made a decision.

"Do you want 130,000 tons of copper ore?" Yun Fei was not surprised that Shen Wenhua made a decision so quickly, he was able to turn a small workshop that started with 450,000 yuan and only had a production workshop into such a giant person now, without a little courage, it would definitely not work. "In addition, all these iron ores have to be paid in cash, and there is no problem with RMB settlement."

As soon as he heard Yun Fei's words, Shen Wenhua was really embarrassed.

More than 17 million tons of ore, the US dollar is 400 million, which is converted into a famous currency, which is a huge amount of 3.5 billion!

A company like Shagang is not like Yun's Holdings, there is not much cash reserves at all, and it is not easy for a private unit like them to come up with 3.5 billion yuan at one time. Especially the various shareholders, for such a large amount, few can accept.

"Mr. Yun, can this fund be ......" Shen Wenhua very much hopes that Yun Fei can extend the time of this payment. In recent years, many large enterprises in China have been expanding like crazy, and most of them are carrying a large amount of debt.

Shagang Group's asset-liability ratio has exceeded 50 percent, and there is no other way to acquire this batch of ore in Yunfei's hands than loans.

"No, you can't. One hand of money, one hand of goods. If you transport a ship, you will settle the payment for a ship. If it weren't for the problem of capital turnover, I would have let him put these ores for a few years, and then the price would have risen at least several times! Yun Fei is telling the truth, "This afternoon, Mi Kaile, the vice president in charge of procurement of Baosteel, will come here. Mr. Shen, I'm not here to raise the price, in this regard, I will sell as much ore as you can raise funds, if you can't mobilize funds, there is no way. ”

These companies have never defaulted on their payments when purchasing abroad, but this is not the case when they purchase at home.

It is extremely difficult to recover the payment.

That's billions, not millions or tens of millions.

With these funds, the company will be able to keep the project running in Mauritania. In the next few years, Yunshi Holdings will need tens of billions of funds to turn around the domestic projects in Mauritania.

What's more, if it weren't for the capital turnover, there would be a market for these ore clouds to raise the price to $25 a ton. There are too many steel mills in China! Yun Fei just wants to sell it all at once. Money, a person can never make enough money.

Shen Wenhua naturally knew that Yun Fei was not lying to him, they and Baosteel both relied on imported ore to support production, and now Baosteel is also short of ore!

"Mr. Yun, can I go back and discuss this matter?" Shen Wenhua almost gritted his teeth and said to Yun Fei. This matter is too big, in terms of funds, they have no way to compare with Baosteel, which is behind the whole country.

"There's no problem with that. In a week, I will reply in a week on the Baosteel side. Yun Fei said to Shen Wenhua very seriously.

Compared with state-owned factories, he is more willing to cooperate with these private enterprises. What is done is far more efficient than that of the state-run units. Moreover, a group company like Baosteel, although it soon sent a vice president, Yun Fei estimated, it is very likely that Lao Zhu or someone from the Ministry of Mining greeted him, otherwise it would be good to have a random purchaser.

However, Boss Yun guessed wrong this time.

Mi Kaile did not have the consciousness of the high-level of a state-owned factory with no one in his eyes, and when he arrived in Rongcheng, he dialed Yun Fei's phone as soon as he got off the airport. Invite Yun Fei to meet immediately and start negotiations.

This immediately made Yun Fei feel that there should be a big problem in the negotiations between the Ministry of Mining and the three major mining companies.

Michaele is in his forties, a tall and capable middle-aged man, with a lean plank, and the whole person is very energetic. The most important thing is that this person is not like the guys in other systems that Yun Fei has met, he looks like the eldest and his second.

Therefore, the two sides talked about harmony very much.

"Mr. Yun, can you see the goods first, if these ores can really reach the kind of Cheng dù you said, even if the price is a little higher, this is not a problem." After listening to Yun Fei's request that all the ore be transported away and paid for by a boatload, Michale did not say anything that Yun Fei was wishful thinking. "In addition, if there is no problem with the ore, we can completely pay 60% of the funds in advance when the first ship is loaded!"

The bigwigs of state-owned factories are wealthy.

That's more than $3 billion.

Sixty percent is already more than two billion, as long as Yun Fei can keep these ores, the 50 million dollars of these ores don't have to be paid by Yun Da Boss himself. Baosteel has enough foreign exchange in its hands.

"Of course. Whoever sells something, they have to let the buyer see the goods. Yun Fei said with a smile.

"In addition, Mr. Yun, I heard that your company has obtained a lot of mining rights in Africa?" Michael asked Yun Fei very seriously. (To be continued......)
