At this time, the United States, New York.

Lakshmi Mittal sits opposite John Morgan and Okuta Shuo.

Although Lakshmi Mittal has not jumped to his feet, his complexion is definitely not good-looking, his face is full of gloom, and he grits his teeth from time to time, as if he wants to eat people.

As for who he wants to eat, it is naturally self-evident.

Chu Hao's hand was so ruthless that he directly gave them a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and almost all the owners of Huaxia's titanium ore mines were co-opted.

"How long will the stock last?" asked John Morgan, a little tired.

It is said that suppressing Hua Pan is really a trivial matter for him, but after such a long time of open and secret fighting, he now really has to admit that Hua Pan has involved most of his energy.

And the original affairs of the Morgan consortium, he still has to continue to deal with, which is too much work pressure for him.

He felt as if he hadn't slept more than four hours a day for the past two months.

Okuda Shuo still kept smiling and didn't say a word.

Now the whole assembly is in the hands of the three of them, but generally speaking, as long as Lakshmi Mittal and John Morgan make the decision, he will not have the slightest opinion.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and he still knows the truth of making a fortune in a muffled voice.

But if you want Toyota to bear more losses of titanium alloys, you don't have to think about it.

Let Lakshmi Mittal and John Morgan, threaten and seduce, and sing all the songs with red faces and white faces, Okuda Shuo is like a breeze blowing on the hills, he is strong, he is strong, all the temptations have been countered by him, anyway, he will not eat more at all.

Lakshmi Mittal glanced at Okuda Shuo and said helplessly: "The inventory in the warehouse is about enough to meet a month's production capacity. ”

He also knew what the hell this old thing was thinking about Ao Tian Shuo, and he really had a plan to get rid of this old thing and do it himself.

But he knows better that this kind of thinking can really only be just a thought, not to mention that the main engine factory headed by Okuda Shuo shared more than one-third of the loss, if it weren't for Toyota, they were still in their own camp, and now Huapan may occupy more market share, and even double his is not surprising.

But don't let him defeat Hua Pan, after Hua Pan is defeated, the price of titanium alloy will definitely rise a lot, at least not at a loss, when the time comes, see if this old thing can still jump.

In terms of defeating each other, and then the price of titanium alloy increases, Chu Hao and Lakshmi Mittal have surprisingly consistent ideas.

"That's a bit of a problem. John Morgan said with a frown.

They had also thought about whether Huapan would win over the mine owners after they co-opted Toyota and these OEMs, but this thought flashed and they didn't think about it.

Although Huapan occupies a favorable location, compared with an OEM like Toyota, there are really many titanium mines, and if you want to win them all, the difficulty is not known how many times greater than that of these OEMs like Toyota.

After all, one person has one mind.

However, the most important thing is that if you win over these mine owners, you can only win them over with real money, and as far as Hua Pan's family background is concerned, they thought that if they fought for money, Hua Pan would definitely not be able to fight them.

Moreover, you must know that at the beginning, they accounted for about 90% of the world's titanium alloy production, while Huapan only had 10%, and now even if Huapan is catching up now, it only occupies 13% of the market share, and they are still more than six times that of Huapan.

He didn't believe that those mine owners could offend them for the sake of Huapan, a group six times the size of Huapan.

But now, Hua Pan did not show any signs of insecurity, on the contrary, they were timid, even if they handed over all the rights to the three of them, but in terms of efficiency, compared with Hua Pan, it was still very inferior.

In the past two months, Huapan has occupied 1.3% of the market share, which is the best proof.

"Could it be that the Chinese government is pressuring?" Lakshmi Mittal said the question that had always been in his mind.

John Morgan hesitated, then nodded slowly.

Lakshmi Mittal thinks this way himself, but he can't be so sure.

If the Huaxia government had intervened, then this matter would have been taken for granted.

However, the Chinese government has joined the TO, and in any case, it must respect the rules of the TO on the surface, so how can it do such a stupid thing of giving people authority.

"Don't think about these now, wait for me to contact the media when I go back, whether it's true or not, report this matter first, and let the Chinese government make a fuss. John Morgan said categorically.

At this time, the use of some off-the-board tricks, although a little immoral, but their morality has long been eaten by dogs, and the matter of discrediting competitors is really not too common for them.

Not to mention that the black one is still Huaxia, there is no pressure at all, who makes Huaxia have no say in the Western world.

"So in this situation, should we raise the price, or should we give up the titanium ore from China?" asked Lakshmi Mittal.

"Let's prepare with both hands, first communicate with the mine owners in Huaxia to see if we can bring them back together, and also find a way to mobilize titanium ore from other major titanium ore mining areas. John Morgan said slowly.

There are seven main mining areas that produce ilmenite ore abroad: the east and west coasts of Australia, Richards Bay in South Africa, the south and east coasts of the United States, Kerala in the south of the Indian Peninsula, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, and the southeast coast of Brazil.

God is fair, China is an oil-poor country, and it needs to import a lot of oil and gas every year, but titanium reserves are the first in the world.

Even in 2016, the per capita consumption of oil and natural gas in the United States was still seven times and thirteen times that of China.

However, the titanium reserves of the United States are only one percent of those of China.

Speaking of which, John Morgan and Lakshmi Mittal felt like their heads were big.

If you want to mobilize titanium ore from all over the world, this is really difficult, and the cost does not know how much it will rise.

The only better ones are ArcelorMittal, Tata Group, and Xindong Steel, which are basically all over the world, ArcelorMittal Group, Tata Group, can import titanium ore directly from India, and Xindong Japanese Iron can mobilize titanium ore from Australia.

But all in all, no matter which strategy works, spending money is essential, and it really rubs salt in their hearts.
