"The Feng family you are talking about won't be the one from Haitong Trade, right?"

"Huh, you know?"

"It's the old man of my family who has something to do with the Feng family, after all, his family's business is inseparable from shipping."

Bao Yaozong responded curiously: "Why did you suddenly become interested in iron ore?" ”

In his impression, the industry under Wang Yu's name didn't seem to have anything to do with iron ore, but now he suddenly wanted to intervene and hooked up with the Feng family

"Actually, I'm not very interested, but there are some things that I can't help myself."

Wang Yu deliberately said vaguely, completely intending to induce others to improve their own logic.

Bao Yaozong really got hit, with a clear expression on his face, and a sigh in his mouth: "Alas, it's not easy, no wonder my old man often nagged about the word distance, but when it really comes to your size, it doesn't mean that you can keep it." ”

That's why if you find Bao Yaozong together, if you change it to Jiang Weilin or someone else, it will definitely not have this effect.

"But how did you come to do this?"

After understanding Wang Yu, Bao Yaozong asked in surprise, "You are too far away from the Feng family, right?" ”

"It was a few years ago, and it was just right"

The place where he met Feng Xuehua and Feng Xuewei sisters was the place where he and Lao Liu had a grudge, and the mediator was Guan Yuhai, everything was true and perfect, so Wang Yu told Bao Yaozong without concealment.

After talking about the cause and effect, Wang Yu continued: "Do you still remember the Hu Shitai case in March this year? ”

"Of course I know, this matter is very noisy in the magic capital, my old man only drank alcohol during that time, almost once he drank and scolded once!"

Bao Yaozong patted his head and suddenly realized: "I said, it turned out to be because of this incident!" ”

At the end of March this year, the Modu Court sentenced Hu Shitai to 10 years in prison, confiscation of property and a fine of 1 million yuan for the crimes of accepting bribes and infringing on trade secrets by non-state functionaries.

The "Hu Shitai case" is not as simple as Bao Yaozong said to make the magic capital boiling, but shocked the world and shook the entire steel and mineral industry.

Because of his existence, in the time since 03, the six domestic steel companies have spent about 700 billion more than 700 billion yuan only because of the rise in iron ore prices, which is equivalent to more than twice the total profits of domestic steel companies in the same period.

Even in 2008, when the financial crisis broke out, China had to accept the record high price increase of 79.88% for fine ore and 96.5% for lump ore.

There are two main reasons for this.

The first is because of the mechanism, before 1950, the global iron ore trading method was mainly spot trading; In the 60s of the 20th century, Xiaori became the main buyer of Australian iron ore, and the two sides began to sign short-term contracts, and gradually developed into long-term contracts in the late 60s, and the amount and price of iron ore were locked for 10~20 years.

By 1980, the annual long-term price agreement mechanism for iron ore began to take shape.

Every year, the world's major mines (iron ore supply-side representatives) and major steel mill representatives (demand-side representatives) negotiate to determine the annual iron ore supply price. This process is also known as "iron ore negotiations". The set price is an industry indicator, which is widely referenced and adopted in other trade negotiations.

It was not until 2003 that our country joined the "iron ore negotiations", when China was already the largest steel producer and consumer, but in the six years from 2003 to 2009, our country was almost defeated in the annual price game.

As the world's largest buyer of iron ore, it has no pricing power.

In addition to the mechanics, the second reason is this Hu Shitai.

In the past few years, the main objects of negotiations with the domestic steel association are BHP Billiton, Brazil's Vale, and Rio Tinto's mining company.

After joining the Australian nationality, Hu Shitai served as the chief representative of Rio Tinto's magic capital and the general manager of Rio Tinto's Hammersley iron ore business in China, and at that time, he was a member of Rio Tinto's "iron ore negotiations".

During the negotiations on the import and export of iron ore, Hu Shitai used improper means to win over and buy the insiders of domestic steel production units, and used this to spy and steal state secrets.

At that time, an insider revealed to the Daily Economic News reporter that the computer of Rio Tinto's Shanghai office taken away by the relevant departments contained information on dozens of steel companies that had signed long-term contracts with Rio Tinto.

These materials involve detailed procurement plans, raw material inventories, production arrangements and other data of enterprises, and even the monthly steel production and sales of some large steel enterprises are also very clear.

Because of his existence, the mines know their company better than even the CEOs of some companies!

Of course, in the second level, even if there is no Hu Shitai, there will be Zhou Shitai and Liu Shitai

The reason why such a person can exist, although there are some indescribable things in it, is fundamentally because of the first reason: the world's high-quality iron ore is caught in the hands of foreign capital such as Australia, Xiaori, Brazil, etc., in fact, it has formed a monopoly.

Later, China learned this lesson and reversed the unfavorable situation in a variety of ways, including going to Africa to find mineral sources, trying to acquire the shares of the three major mining companies, dividing Australia and Brazil, and using its own advantages to bully stores.

"So"

Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Tomorrow I have to go with the Feng family sisters to do my own business, and I can't accompany you." ”

"Understood, it's a big deal."

Bao Yaozong nodded and said: "I'm busy with your side first, I really want to play, and when everyone has almost gained this time, it's too late to carnival at that time." ”

The two chatted energetically, but Ye Lili's heart was turning upside down.

What is her own identity, Wang Yu will not know?

At this time, he didn't shy away from talking about such things in front of her, what did he want to do?

Aren't you afraid that you will leak the news to Mitsui?

Or does this Mr. Wang not care at all?

It has been almost a year since Ye Lili (Chiba Tsuruko) was given to Wang Yu by Mitsui Hongyi, and she has enough time to understand Wang Yu's entrepreneurial history.

How can a man who has built a huge business empire from scratch in six or seven years be a fool?

Even as a commercial spy, she admires a business wizard like Wang Yu very much.

So now the question arises: should this news be sent back?

"Secretary Ye, Secretary Ye!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry President!"

Ye Lili came back to her senses, quickly stood up and bowed to Wang Yu: ", I'm sorry, I was fascinated by the beach volleyball over there just now!" ”

Tsk, your volleyball is not small

Wang Yu looked at her with a smile and said; "I'll give you a task, organize a small carnival party before we leave Rio, it's okay to put it on the beach, and it's okay in the hotel, the main thing is to let the members of the Chamber of Commerce feel the samba enthusiasm of the Americas!"
