Jokes are jokes, but Shen Xin still had a hard time accepting Han Yihui's "special function".

Back on the shore, he walked slowly along the paved pavement towards the residential area, occasionally encountering men and women in uniform clothes, Shen Xin still didn't believe that they were robots.

"What, Sister Shen doesn't believe it?" Lu Menglin asked with a smile.

Shen Xin nodded.

There happened to be a male robot in front of him, Lu Menglin pulled Shen Xin and walked over, then gestured his head and said with a smile: "Can you turn around?"

In Shen Xin's stunned, the robot's head turned 360°, and it didn't turn back clockwise, and left directly......

Shen Xin turned her head, and Han Yizheng looked at her with a smile.

Shen Xin is very bad at the moment, but she is not in decline, she wants to find an idiom to describe her current mood, but she can't find it, and finally thinks of an expression: crying with a smile on her forehead!

Shen Xin walked up to Han Yi and said, "No wonder it broke out of a huge business empire in a few years, it's really a hanging." ”

Han Yi: "......"

Then I couldn't help but want to laugh in my heart.

The three views that have been established for decades have suddenly been subverted, and it is already rare to be able to maintain a relatively optimistic attitude like Shen Xin.

But you can't deny my efforts, can you?" said Han Yi as he walked.

Shen Xin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed." Although it was a bit rough at the beginning, if you were in your position at the time, you wouldn't necessarily do better. ”

After speaking, Shen Xin's curiosity exploded and asked, "According to the timeline, it should be the first half of the senior year, right?"

"Hmm. A few days after the start of my senior year. ”

"Won't you be scared at first?"

"I'm afraid, I hid under the covers and pinched my thighs so hard that I didn't let myself laugh like a pig. ”

Lu Menglin, who was walking on Han Yi's right, let out a miserable laugh.

Shen Xin was also too happy, "That's right, after all, at that time, your economic conditions were not very good." ”

Han Yi nodded, "In the past few years of college, I have been thinking about where to make money every day. Sometimes lying in bed and thinking about it, I feel that God is very unfair, my family is so poor, why don't you even give me a good-looking skin, otherwise I can fight for 20 years less!"

Lu Menglin clutched her chest and laughed breathlessly, "Oops...... I can't do it......"

......

Canberra, the capital of Australia.

The 19th floor of the Henry Building in the east of the city is the headquarters of the branch of Sinosteel Group in Australia.

At this time, in the office, General Manager Zhang Ruiming stood in front of the window with his arms in his hands. His brow furrowed deeply as could be seen through the reflection on the glass.

As the competition between the two giants of China and the United States becomes more and more intense, some countries are secretly rubbing their way into the ground.

For example, as early as 2017, Australia had colluded with other countries to manipulate iron ore prices in an attempt to control pricing power.

However, at that time, China started the iron ore futures trade, which was to settle all imported iron ore in RMB, and firmly dragged the price of iron ore in its own hands.

Then a number of highly polluting steelmakers were eliminated, and the sources of iron ore imports were expanded, and Australia's plans were dismantled.

But now, four years later, the Australian government and the ore giants have started a new dispute, tying several major ore producing companies to their chariots.

Just yesterday afternoon, the "World Ore Summit Forum" ended in Melbourne, during which representatives of a number of giant enterprises reached an agreement and decided to increase the price of 62% grade iron ore from the original $58/ton to $63/ton from the first of next month, an increase of 8.6% month-on-month.

China imports up to 1 billion tonnes of high-grade iron ore a year, a decision that means China has to pay an additional $5 billion for it.

The Chinese side will definitely not do it.

"Lao Zhang, do you think we still need to negotiate with the relevant parties?" asked the middle-aged man with glasses sitting on the sofa.

The man with glasses is Zhang Mingrui's deputy Pan Heyu.

Zhang Ruiming pondered for a while and said, "Let's stop it first!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Mingrui asked again: "The person I asked you to contact, how is it now?"

Pan Heyu put together the information on the coffee table, pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose and said, "I have checked the background of this person, he is an ore broker, and he is not so capable......"

Zhang Mingrui turned around and said: "3 million tons of pig iron ingots is not a small amount, no matter what, let's contact it." ”

"OK~"

......

Afternoon, Hampton Beach, Melbourne.

Hood, who was wearing sunglasses, sat on a recliner instead of looking at the sidewalk, and quickly stood up and waved: "Hi, Mr. Pan, ...... here"

It was Pan Heyu who was looking around on the sidewalk, and at this time he strode over, stretched out his hand and smiled: "You are Mr. Hood, hello~"

"Hello Mr. Pan, please be seated. ”

Pan Heyu sat down and looked around on the beach and said with a smile in Chinese: "I've been in Australia for five years, and it's the first time I've been to the beach." ”

Hood smiled and said, "Hehe, I come often, but mainly to discuss business." Mr. Pan, you also know that businessmen in Australia and New Zealand prefer such informal occasions. ”

Pan Heyu nodded, and then asked straight to the point: "I heard that Mr. Pan provided millions of tons of pig iron ingots to China Jiangang, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"Yes!" Hood did not hide.

He came this time to take advantage of the Australian Ore Conference to find a stable buyer.

There is no way, his "boss" asked to be as "low-key" as possible, plus the last ore was detained, so now he is looking for high-quality individual customers to trade on the high seas.

The trouble is a little troublesome, but it is in line with Han Yi's low-key principle.

After speaking, Hood asked, "Haven't you asked Mr. Pan which company it is?"

"Sinosteel. ”

"Ah......" Hu De didn't expect it to be the famous Sinosteel Group.

"Mr. Hu is not surprised, we are very sincere......"

Pan Heyu came over this time to be a blind cat and killed a mouse, and he didn't expect the other party to provide much, but he just hoped for one more source channel.

Hood thought for a moment and said, "We can supply about 200,000 tons of pig iron ingots and no more than 500,000 tons of high-grade ore every month. ”

"That's ......," Pan Heyu said helplessly, "It's okay." ”

The sum of the two is 700,000 tons a month, which is only 8 million tons a year, which is really a drop in the bucket compared to the demand for one billion tons.

But then Pan Heyu also wanted to laugh.

The other party is not the boss of BHP Billiton, can you still expect him to solve the ore problem?

Thinking of the ore, Pan Heyu also sighed in his heart.

For example, in Anshan and Benxi areas, there are 12 billion tons of iron ore reserves and 10 billion tons of iron ore reserves, but their grades are between 20.4% and 39%, which need to be selected before further smelting.

The complete cost of key metallurgical mines in China is about US$65/ton.

However, the total landed cost of 62% grade iron ore is only US$26-34/wet metric ton, and the difference is obvious.

With a sigh of emotion, Pan Heyu asked, "What about the price?"

Hood reported a figure that was 10 percentage points lower than that of international experts.

This time it was Pan Heyu's turn to be surprised.

After deducting the taxes of shipping and producing countries, there is basically no profit at this price, and he can't figure out where the other party's profits come from?
