Chapter 378: Negotiations with Iron Mine

Previous Chapter

The world's first graphene chip factory will be located in the special zone on the border between Malaysia and New Guinea, which is undoubtedly good news for Malaysia.

The settlement of the graphene chip factory will attract a large number of electronic equipment manufacturers interested in graphene chips to settle in the special zone.

A billion dollars investment is nothing, but the driving effect of this billion dollars investment is staggering.

However, when Malay ** was dreaming of becoming the world's graphene factory, Xu Yuan just smiled.

Just kidding, will the real core stuff put you there?

All the Malay workers need to do is to stand at the production line and operate professional instruments, connecting various components such as PU, baseband chips, RF chips, and power management chips produced from the high-tech industrial park to the graphene chipset.

As for the high-tech gadgets, the workers at the Tidal Island factory will be responsible for the production.

Of course, with the industrial capacity of Tidal Island, it is impossible to take all the production.

After all, the labor market in the Special Economic Zone is still very large, and the Malays have offered so many preferential policies, and it is impossible to say that they can order soup and drink.

Graphene displays, touch screens, and other things are not difficult to produce.

Cameras, i-I chips, audio decoding chips, and other things don't need to be updated for the time being.

These things can be built in the SEZ, or even outsourced to Xinguo and Malay enterprises that have invested in the SEZ, and they can build factories for processing.

In the past few days in the Special Economic Zone, Xu Yuan has eaten and lived at the headquarters of Yuanying International Heavy Industry, almost maintaining the rhythm of a meeting every day, dealing with overseas mergers and acquisitions and business restructuring of subsidiaries.

The meeting materials and the restructuring plan are all in charge of "Ling", which is completely considered from the perspective of production efficiency, which has reduced a lot of workload for him.

As far as the role of secretary is concerned, Xu Yuan can already give her a score of 98.

As for the 2 points deducted, 1 point is because of that expressionless face. Another 1 point just because she doesn't know how to make tea......

But fortunately, with Liu Ling by her side, she filled in the missing 2 points.

Walking in the center of the Special Economic Zone and looking at the bustling street scene, Xu Yuan also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

More than half a year ago, it was just a border town walking above and below the poverty line, but with the arrival of Yuanying International Group, everything has changed.

Loads of bills were thrown out, and an eight-lane highway led to the port.

Another handful of bills was thrown out, trucks drove in, and road networks and apartment buildings were sprang up.

Xu Yuan suddenly thought of Xiangjiang, thousands of miles away.

Speaking of which, before its rise, Xiangjiang was just a small fishing village at the beginning.

Today's Special Economic Zone is like the Xiangjiang River of the last century, just standing on the street, you can smell the vigorous development.

If one day, the Special Economic Zone really becomes the second Xiangjiang, Yuanying International Group will definitely have to make crazy money.

From the headquarters building to the present, Xu Yuan's feet have never stepped within the scope of his own industry.

Yuanying International Group has obtained more than ten square kilometers of land from the hands of the Special Economic Zone at a very low price, and has contracted almost 80% of the infrastructure reconstruction projects.

If the housing prices in the Special Economic Zone can rise to half of that of Xiangjiang, it will be no problem for Yuanying International Heavy Industries to directly change its name to Yuanying International Real Estate.

After an afternoon of shopping in the Special Economic Zone, the two did not return to the company's headquarters, but went to the only five-star hotel in the Special Economic Zone to open a room.

Lingering overnight.

The next day, although he wanted to sleep a little more with the docile little beauty in his arms, Xu Yuan still got up early.

According to the itinerary, today he will meet with the representatives of the Special Mining Group to discuss the renewal of the iron and aluminum ore supply contracts.

Today, Ambrose, chairman of the Special Mining Group, arrived in the Special Zone and started talks with Xu Yuan at the headquarters of Yuanying International Heavy Industries.

"Mr. Xu is really a good method, I'm afraid that at that time in Berry Country, the design plan of Neverland will be on your desk."

As soon as they met, although Ambrose smiled and stretched out his hand, Xu Yuan could still hear some dissatisfaction from his mouth.

This is inevitable, after all, Xu Yuan has cheated him very much.

The displacement of an aircraft carrier is only 100,000 tons, and the steel and aluminum consumed by Neverland can top hundreds of aircraft carriers.

What's more, the Source Shadow International Group has never said that they only plan to build a Neverland.

If Neverland works well, many countries will definitely be interested in it.

At that time, if Xu Yuan is interested in exporting this "ocean city" project, I believe that the order will fly to Yuanying International Heavy Industry like snowflakes.

If nothing else, Huaguo will definitely become the largest buyer.

The reality is that compared with last year's sluggish metal ore market, iron and aluminum ore, whether futures or spot, have rebounded significantly.

The 80 million tons supply contract in Xu Yuan's hand was undoubtedly copied on the floor, and it was discounted by 8% according to the floor price at that time.

Ambrose's bowels were blue with remorse.

But there is no way, the contract is here, for the sake of the group's reputation, their special mining group has to pinch its nose and admit it.

Admit that the 80 million tons of ore have been supplied, and Yuanying International Group wants to renew the contract? Let's talk about price increases!

"This year, the price of iron ore has risen across the board, and the original price is no longer suitable."

"How much are you going to increase the price?" Looking at Ambrose's face, Xu Yuan smiled.

"At the current market price, we will give you 90% cheaper." Ambrose spoke without hesitation.

"The current market price? Do you think I didn't know that you released a global iron ore production reduction assessment report through the International Mining Union a week ago, which drove up the prices of iron and aluminum ore in the futures and spot markets? Xu Yuan said with a smile.

With Ling's ability to collect data, any information that has been published cannot escape her capture.

After summarizing this information, it is naturally not difficult to analyze the relationship between these two things.

Ambrose's face froze.

He really didn't expect that Xu Yuan, who was focusing on the layout of the graphene market, could still pay attention to the commodity market.

Generally speaking. The report of the International Mining Union IMA will only be paid attention to by people in the industry, and Xu Yuan will be prepared to do so fully for this negotiation!

"85% of the market price, it can't be lower, it's impossible to supply at last year's price! If you nod your head, we can sign the contract now. Ambrose said.

Xu Yuan shook his head.

"The Neverland project has consumed a total of 20 million tons of steel and aluminum, most of which is consumed in post-war reconstruction and the development of the Special Economic Zone."

"We have five iron ore mines with reserves of more than 40 million tons, but there are no plans to mine them yet, and you don't have too many bargaining chips in bargaining, do you know what I mean?"

The main project of Yuanying International Mining is seabed mining, which mainly produces metals such as molybdenum, manganese, copper, nickel and cobalt.

The gross profit of mining iron, aluminum and other ores is too low, so even if there is a lot of iron ore from Dongguo, Yuanying International Mining has no plans to open the mine.

Ambrose narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about how to negotiate the deal, while Xu Yuan looked at him with a smile, waiting for him to make a concession offer.

"You have iron ore mines in the east?"

"That's right, and it's also a high-quality iron mine, probably 67-68, not only iron ore, but also two aluminum mines."

Xu Yuan said with a smile, "You should know that a year ago, under the harassment of the opposition, the investment environment in Dongguo was very poor, and Dongguo ** was unable to develop those rich mines on a large scale, but now, these minerals are in our hands." ”

Xu Yuan's words expressed two meanings.

The first layer is: we have a mine in our hands, if your price is higher than the cost of our own mining, we will not take you to play!

The second layer is: Source Shadow International Group is no longer the Source Shadow International Group of a year ago, don't think that we will be forced to compromise by your pressure on other levels.

Not to mention you old aristocrats, even the Merkava consortium has been instigated by us, will we still be afraid of you?

The silence lasted for a long time, and Ambrose sighed.

"The afterlife is terrible."

"You still know Chinese?" Xu Yuan said with a smile.

"I've only learned it recently, although only a little."

Ambrose waved his hand, "Don't digress, I have an offer right now that is in the interests of both of us." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"We have advantages in iron ore mining, transportation, and management, and your advantages you have just mentioned, you have the resources of the eastern country, and we can register a mining company in the Moro country in a joint venture, and we each have a 50% stake."

"We are out of people and technology, you are out of the mine and in charge of public relations, what do you think?" Ambrose leaned forward and said in a low voice.

Special ore can keep the price of ore very low, but limited by import and export tariffs, fiscal taxes, environmental protection fines and other expenses, so that the gross profit of iron and aluminum ore has not been able to rise.

If Yuanying International Group can rely on its influence to reduce various taxes and fees on ore production and export in the eastern country, Special Mineral Mining will have a lot of profit space even if it supplies cheap ore to Yuanying International Group.

"That's a good idea." Xu Yuan's eyes lit up and he nodded with interest.

Those iron ore and aluminum ore have been idle, and Yuanying International Mining has no extra energy to mine.

This proposal is equivalent to contracting the mining to the special mining group, and the two sides will share the profits fifty-fifty.

However, just when Ambrose thought that the agreement had been reached, Xu Yuan changed his words, "But is the stake you asking for too high?" ”

This vampire!

Ambrose scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't make any expression on his face, and fought with Xu Yuan with a calm face.

Eventually, an agreement was reached.

Xu Yuan invested US$70 million and minerals, and Tekuang Mining Group invested US$150 million, with the equity ratios of 55% and 45% respectively.

That's Ambrose's bottom line.
