The smelting means of domestic special steel are indeed relatively backward, which is of course related to the investment in science and technology, and the investment required to study a suitable special steel is huge, but the domestic investment in scientific research is insufficient, especially in the material science that requires a long time and large investment, has always been our weakness.

And some developed countries in the world have also relied on the material to get stuck in our necks, which has made us unable to break through in some aspects.

In the shijie of steel, special steel is the king of this shijie, even in the worst economic situation on shijie, this kind of just now is not worried about sales.

Because the application of this steel is so important, many machinery manufacturing or important projects need to use special steel.

From warships and planes to car bearings, special steel is needed to play, and the next ten years will be the era of vigorous development of the domestic real estate industry and the automobile industry.

If you want to get the kind of special steel for warships, submarines, or airplanes from the United States or Japan, it may be difficult, but it should not be difficult to get some special steel for construction that is slightly worse.

When Li Yifan was in his last life, he once worked as a bodyguard for a boss engaged in steel import and export, but he knew the trickiness of this.

And that boss happened to be specialized in foreign trade with the Japanese, and during that time, he had heard a lot from the boss's mouth about this special steel.

Japan is also a big manufacturing country, and it's a big exporter of automobiles. Their annual demand for iron ore is also huge. But Weishenme is Shijie's three major iron mining giants. When they join forces to raise prices, can people get out of control?

It turns out that the Japanese are not only the giants of Australia's iron mining industry, but more importantly, they also occupy the upstream industrial chain of the steel industry.

When the price of iron ore rises, people simply import crude steel billets directly from China on a large scale, and after they are shipped back to China, they are in deep processing to produce special steel for special purposes. And then sell these special steels to our Chinese people, anyway, they don't suffer at both ends.

On the one hand, it is to suppress the import price of crude steel here, on the other hand, it also uses the advantages of jishu to control the industrial chain and the price of special steel exported, on average, about one-third higher than the price of domestic special steel, and the performance?

However, it can completely form a rolling advantage for the special steel produced in China, which has caused the situation that the more expensive the price, the more we must buy, anyway, the benefits of both ends. It's all for the Japanese to give.

And the three major iron ore giants have joined forces to control the price of iron ore. When the price of monopoly rises, not only are they not in a hurry, but they are also behind the scenes, anyway, they are also shareholders of Rio Tinto, and the price of iron ore rises, and they also make money.

As a result, the worst people were of course the Chinese people, and of course the people of China paid the bill.

This is also the point that makes Li Yifan feel both powerless and helpless, thinking about the later generations on TV, those experts with oily faces, all day long arguing for the big country to pout, all day long shouting about the dream of China, but fundamentally, we can't even produce the most basic construction of high-rise buildings, special industrial steel, angle steel, and have to import from the hands of Japan, the enemy, Li Yifan can't help but feel ashamed for those experts.

And now that he has the capital in his hands, he doesn't intend to let this continue.

In the next ten years, to what extent will China's real estate industry swell, Li Yifan is clear, in this decade, and in this decade, in the country's major cities, there will be no less than thousands of landmark high-rise buildings, how many such sections and angles will be used in these buildings?

This is a huge market, even a market worth hundreds of billions, if you don't lay out in advance at this time, then in the next ten years, you really have to watch the Japanese dominate.

This kind of special steel for construction is not as special as the kind of military special steel of the crown level, although countries such as Japan and the United States are also at the stage of restrictive jishu export to China, but after all, the control is not so strict.

Therefore, it is not so difficult to get such a special construction steel smelter, and the most important thing is that Singapore, Japan and Australia have a special relationship.

Although this country is also dominated by Chinese, the ideology and education model with Western Shijie values as the mainstream make Japan and Australia not so hostile to Singaporeans, and even seem particularly friendly.

Singapore's electronics industry, in fact, was established with the support of the Japanese, not to mention Australia, both countries used to be inherent colonies of the United Kingdom, so the feelings between the two countries are very delicate.

Therefore, Li Yifan installed Li Annie as his pawn agent at this time to infiltrate these two countries, which is the right candidate.

Needless to say, Japan itself is a great country second only to the United States, and even they can now be compared to the Germans, the teachers they have always imitated, and Australia, not to mention, because of religion and race, this country has always been a vassal of the Western powers.

And the United States, Japan and other countries, the jishu restrictions on Australia are not so strong, and the most important thing is that the country itself also has its own certain strengths in some jishu.

This is what Li Yifan values the most, the things that these countries have, in the eyes of developed countries in Europe and the United States, may not be anything at all, but these things, as long as they can be taken back to China, they can definitely make up for some of the shortcomings of their own countries.

"Oh? I can understand this if you want to work with Rio Tinto, but you are so confident in China's steel demand? ”

At this time, Li Annie has come to her senses a little, although the economic development of China has been very good over the years, and even won the name of a shijie factory within the scope of Shijie, but anyone who knows some about finance and economics knows that in fact, Huaguo's Xiangshang space has reached a limit, and for the top industries of industry, developed countries such as Europe and the United States, there will definitely be jishu restrictions.

So in this way, the future trend of China's economy has always become a concern for many people, and now the next leader of Li Yifan will bet on the real estate market, but for this problem, Li Annie is a little skeptical.

After all, in such a country, the impact of any economic policy is huge, and it is not easy to draw conclusions.

"Anne, you can rest assured at this point, you don't go to China much, you don't know the domestic situation, in fact, our demand for special steel has always been huge, and we have to import a large number of special steel from abroad every year."

"However, Yifan, you also have to know that for the jishu restrictions of such special materials, the Americans have always looked very closely......"

Although Li Annie also knew that what Li Yifan said was reasonable, when she thought of the Batumi agreement led by the Americans, she was a little worried, and if the Americans knew that they would export the blockade to the mainland, it would be terrible.

"Haha, you can rest assured at this point, what we want to do is just special steel for construction materials, in fact, strictly speaking, it does not belong to the Batumi agreement, nor is it a military-grade special steel jishu, in fact, such special steel, many countries are using, in this regard, the Japanese do the best, so their profit margins are very large. If we can get the Japanese jishu, then in China, we can make a lot of money, such a good opportunity, weishenme don't try it? ”

Li Yifan's statement this time really moved Li Annie's heart, and indeed when she thought of Huaguo's huge population size and huge market share, it was impossible for anyone to be too calm.

In fact, there are several very good institutes of materials science in Singapore's most famous Nanyang Technological University.

In the past two years, I heard that they have researched a lot of good things, and I can ask someone to inquire and see if they have any research on such construction steel.

In fact, Singapore, for the study of special steel is also very set, after all, they are a country that mainly relies on port trade as the main economic benefit, they need to invest a lot in port construction every year, using a lot of special steel, and these special steel, they also need to import a large number of them, but since the new prime minister came to power a few years ago, after increasing the investment in Nanyang University of Technology, their local scientific scholars, for this material has also carried out a lot of research.

It is important to know that the material strength of the special steel used in these ports is not necessarily worse than the strength and quality of the special steel used in the construction of high-rise buildings.

If you can get the materials directly from the research institute of Nanyang University of Technology, then why go to Australia or Japan and do it through special means?

When Li Annie told Li Yifan the news, Li Yifan was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he could still pick up such a big bargain, which was definitely an unexpected joy.

As the saying goes, there is no hiding place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

Why did you forget Singapore, a scientific research bully that ranks among the best in Shijie's scientific research ranks! (To be continued......)
