Chapter Seventy-Eight: The War Dividend
When the pace of war was getting closer and closer to Utan, many media focused on this area.
For more than a month, reporters from hundreds of media outlets have come to Utan Prefecture to wait for the war to break out.
There are not only Western media, but also many Chinese media.
The nickname of "Daxia Special Zone" in Utan Prefecture is not called in vain, and many Chinese people have a sense of affinity for this land dominated by Chinese.
Especially after knowing that the iron ore produced by this land can break the monopoly of the three major mines on the Chinese steel industry, the sense of intimacy is even deeper.
During this period, the reporters of many media outlets in Utan Prefecture were on duty 24 hours a day in two or three shifts, thinking of being the first to grab the news of the beginning of the war.
This time, the first to learn the news of the war was a news agency in Huaxia with the word "Hua" in its name, which was the object of Zhao Hao's notification after informing Mr. Xia and Ou Ruicheng.
This news agency has a lofty position in the Chinese news industry, and this favor Zhao Hao has to be sold.
As a result, when Ou Ruicheng was still on his way to the radio station, the news agency had already sent out a brief message about the missile launch by the army of country T in Utan Prefecture.
Soon, the news was quoted by hundreds of media outlets around the world, and at this time, Ou Ruicheng was speaking on radio station in Utan Oblast, declaring war on the Tuag government.
The follow-up news, published by Ou Ruicheng on the radio station, included how many missiles fell into the territory of Utan Prefecture and how much damage the Utan Prefecture had suffered.
Those foreign media reporters in Utan Prefecture began to listen to Ou Ruicheng's radio broadcasts and write news reports at the same time.
Some of those who overslept were also woken up by the phone call of their superiors, who ordered them to get up quickly and listen to the English channel broadcast by Radio Utan.
Ou Ruicheng mentioned that a press conference will be held at 8 a.m. on Utan State TV, which will be broadcast live on State TV.
Upon learning of the news, many foreign media reporters stationed in Utan Prefecture rushed to the state television station.
Other journalists drove to the places where the missiles had hit.
There are even some who are brave and drive directly to the front line, hoping to take pictures of the war.
Journalists in Utan went crazy because of this.
When tens of thousands of soldiers of the army of country T had not yet entered the land of Utan State, news about the war had spread all over the world.
"T civil war", this is the positioning of this war by many media outlets.
It is indeed a civil war, a war between the central government and the local government of country T.
However, some media with ulterior motives described this war as "a war between the T people and the Chinese people", and portrayed this war as the first war in which the Chinese colonized Africa.
Although Zhong Yuan has money and can buy most of the Western media, he can't buy the media cultivated by some political forces, so it's not a matter of money.
There are also some media that describe this war as a war between the three major mines and the Great Xia system, which is the closest to the truth.
After the outbreak of the war, the stocks of the three major mines rose in response. In the eyes of investors, regardless of the outcome of the war, the three major mines are the biggest winners.
As long as the war begins, the iron ore production and transportation of Daxia Mining will be seriously affected, and now is the time for a new round of infrastructure construction in Huaxia, which requires a large number of steel materials, and the rising demand for iron ore is only available to the three major mines in the world, and the benefits to the three major mines are unimaginable.
At the beginning of the protests by the locals in Utan, the stocks of the three major mines had already begun to rise, and by the beginning of the war, the stock prices had skyrocketed.
A few months ago, the Peace Investment Company bought a large number of stocks of the three major mines at low prices, and now the stock price has more than doubled, which can be said to be a big profit.
The three major mines refer to three super-large ore production and sales companies, and are not a single company, because they have formed a price alliance between them in the sale of various ores, so they are regarded as a community and are called the three major mines.
They own the most and best iron ore in the world, and before Daxia Mining, most of the share of the global iron ore trade was held by these three mining companies.
These are three giant companies that have a monopoly position in the iron ore industry, and the combined market value of the three companies once exceeded 300 billion US dollars.
However, after the sudden rise of Daxia Mining and accounting for half of China's imported iron ore, the stock prices of the three major mines began to fall sharply, shrinking by nearly half in more than a month.
At that time, the major shareholders of the Great Xia Department began to buy shares of the three major mines through various channels.
After protests broke out in Utan to force the train to be stopped, the stocks of the three major mines finally stopped falling and began to rise.
Now it is not only recovering from the all-time high, but also charging towards the all-time high.
The combined market capitalization of their three giant companies is approaching the $400 billion mark.
Such are the dividends of war.
Months of unrest and war have increased the value of the three major mines by more than $200 billion.
If the Chinese can be driven out of Utanzhou, it is not impossible for the total market value of the three major mines to exceed 500 billion US dollars.
When the war finally began, each of the major shareholders of the three major mines was so excited that they had just opened a champagne to celebrate.
Also excited are the major shareholders of the Great Xia Department - they bought a lot of shares when the stock prices of the three major mines were in a downturn, and the prices have now doubled, and it is easy to get a lot of income into their accounts, which is naturally worth rejoicing.
Among them, because the Peace Investment Company has enough money on its books, it has bought about two billion US dollars worth of three major mining stocks, and the money it has made is the largest in the Great Xia system.
The volume of the three major mines is too huge, and the shares purchased by the major shareholders of the Daxia system through covert means add up to only more than one-tenth of the total amount, which is too scattered, and has not attracted the attention of the stock regulatory department or the three major mines.
However, the purchase of more than one point of stock was nearly $20 billion at the time, and it has now reached $40 billion, that is to say, during this time, the major shareholders of the Daxia Department have earned $20 billion in income from the three major mines.
They certainly have plenty of reason to be excited.
Compared to the money they earned, the losses caused to them by the destruction of the railway in Utan Prefecture are simply not worth mentioning.
After the war began, the three major mine stocks controlled by the Great Xia Department began to sell slowly.
The winners and losers of the war will soon become clear, and it is not worth it if you don't take advantage of this time to quickly throw the stock out and smash it into your hands.
