Chapter 561: Incoherent

If you look at these three points, Huaxia's steel enterprises should have an advantage, and in its ten-point score, these three scores are almost all eight points and nine points in the high segment.

However, why are China's steel companies still so low?

The main reason for this is the weak ability of Huaxia iron ore resources and market control.

In terms of iron ore ownership, except for Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., which has seven large iron ore mines and four auxiliary material mines such as limestone, manganese ore and active lime, which score highly, other enterprises have low scores.

That is to say, the iron ore resources of major steel enterprises are less, and the reserves are not large compared with the iron ore resources of large foreign steel mills, and can even be described as barren.

Of course, this also has a certain relationship with the current price of iron ore resources at home and abroad, taking Baosteel as an example, Baosteel is a seaside steel enterprise, due to the high grade of foreign iron ore, from the cost control, improve product quality and other considerations, Baosteel in addition to its own mine - Meishan iron ore, most of the iron ore used in the production are imported by Australia, Brazil and India.

Another important reason is that due to the large number of domestic steel companies, they cannot be compared with the foreign concentrated market, so the indicators such as the threat from nearby competitors and the pricing power of the domestic market are below average.

And due to the lack of high-quality coking coal and high-quality iron ore resources necessary for the production of China China, the cost of domestic steel enterprises to produce a ton of iron ore concentrate of the same taste is much greater than that of foreign steel enterprises, especially in the mining situation, steel situation is not good years, major steel enterprises have more assets and liabilities, so the profitability can not be compared with other international steel enterprises.

In fact, all of these are pointing to a reason, that is, domestic steel companies have no say in the pricing of foreign iron ore.

As Huaxia, which consumes more than half of the world's iron ore production every year, it has no say in the pricing of iron ore.

It's a joke.

It is important to know that if the market share of the operator in the relevant market reaches one-half, it can be presumed that the operator has a dominant market position!

That is, the commonly known monopolist.

In the definition of economics, monopolists in the market can adjust prices and output according to their own interests!

However, looking at Huaxia, although a monopoly has been formed in fact, it does not have any rights that a monopolist should have.

All day long by Vale, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto these big iron ore producers and exporters.

These big iron ore producers and exporters say how much iron ore is, then how much iron ore is, and Huaxia has no choice but to let others slaughter it.

Supposedly, in the face of unreasonable prices, as a monopolist, it is completely possible to sacrifice a big weapon and refuse to trade with these large iron ore producers and exporters.

Then, according to the laws of the market, it will not be long before these big iron ore producers and exporters will be in debt and go bankrupt.

But why has Huaxia not done this, and the big iron ore producers and exporters are not afraid of Huaxia doing this.

The reason is very simple, because once Huaxia does this, then it is obvious that he will kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 himself, and Huaxia's wings will be broken and fall down heavily.

Since the Industrial Revolution, the importance of steel has been infinitely raised, without steel there would be no modern society, and even in the last century, steel production often determines whether a country is a big country, a strong country.

Otherwise, Taizu would not have shouted the slogan of catching up with Britain and the United States, that is, he hoped that China's steel output could surpass that of Britain and the United States and reach the forefront of the world!

Without steel, it is absolutely intolerable for a country like China to build a large number of buildings and one appearance a day, so it can only be extorted by large iron ore producers and exporters.

That's where these big iron ore producers and exporters have the confidence to do so.

This is also the reason why China has always adhered to the red line of cultivated land, grain self-sufficiency rate, and oil self-sufficiency rate.

Although, looking at these things now, it seems that precious manpower is used for other things, which is better than farming and oil extraction.

You know, even if you go out to work, it is countless times better than farming at home.

The oil fields in China, after years of exploitation, have basically reached the point of three extractions, and the cost of oil production is extremely high, and the cost of extracting each barrel of oil is basically more than 80 US dollars, while the oil in the Middle East is only a few US dollars, and even the freight is much cheaper than Huaxia's own oil production.

However, why does Huaxia still insist on it, because once the grain self-sufficiency rate and oil self-sufficiency rate drop to a certain ratio, then absolutely, these grains and oil will be so high that they need to be exchanged for their lives.

Therefore, why does Chu Hao have to insist now, even if he doesn't make money, even if he has a huge burden on his back, he must let more than half of the titanium ore needed by Huapan Special Steel be supplied by Huapan's own mines.

After all, only if the mine is in your own hands can you guarantee that you will not be choked by the neck.

Although these mines are all in Panxi and in China, it is said that this will not happen.

However, if those big companies in the West partner and buy titanium alloys from these mines at a high price, then what should Huapan do?

Compete with those big Western companies? Your purchase price is high, and my purchase price is higher!

That's a good idea.

It's just that Huapan definitely can't fight.

Although Huapan has made a lot of money in the past two years, it is still too weak compared to those large Western enterprises that have existed for hundreds of years, just like a toddler.

Counting on government intervention?

I'm afraid I can't count on it, otherwise in Chu Hao's previous life, when South Goryeo arranged Sa De.

At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the media of South Korea asked why Huaxia banned Chinese people from traveling to South Korea and whether it was limited to Han Lingtime.

However, the Foreign Ministry spokesman's reply was that he had not heard of the limited Korean order, saying that people-to-people exchanges between the two countries need to have a public opinion basis, and the Chinese people expressed their dissatisfaction with the deployment of Sade, which was a spontaneous action of the people.

As a result, the majority of netizens have said that the spontaneous restriction of South Korea has nothing to do with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they are afraid that they will be blamed later.

Is this because Huaxia is too cowardly?

No, it's just that Huaxia has joined TO, so it needs to act in accordance with the rules of TO, at least to ensure that the rules of TO are obeyed on the surface.

Then, large Western companies are willing to buy Huaxia's titanium ore at a high price, which is market behavior.

Even if Chu Hao asked the government for help, there was no way, the government could only interview these mine owners privately, and on the surface the government had no way.

Or do you expect those miners to spontaneously not sell to big Western companies?

Forget it, Chu Hao really didn't dare to think about it like this, this good thing will not be seen once in a hundred years.

Therefore, there is only one way to avoid this situation, and that is to take these mines into your own hands, so as to ensure that you will not be choked by the neck, and you can survive and live longer.

It's just that these Lingshuang and Lawrence won't understand for a while.

After all, compared with the purchase of titanium ore from the outside, it will be more expensive to mine titanium ore by yourself, after all, Huapan uses a lot of safety facilities and new mining equipment.

And most importantly, if something happens, it's a big problem!

You know, after all, even Lawrence only has feelings for these workers in the mine now, and as for the other mine workers, he also knows that he has no choice, he is not God after all.

But fortunately, although they couldn't understand why Chu Hao had to do this, but since Chu Hao insisted, they had no choice but to do it.

It's just that because the plan is too large and the funds needed are too much, there is no way to meet it for a while, so it can only be shelved.

Now, since Chu Hao had won so much money, Ling Shuang felt that it was necessary for him to restart this plan, which could be regarded as satisfying one of Chu Hao's requests.

Now that the goals have been announced, all that remains is the details.

The meeting lasted for more than six hours, and the air in the entire conference room was muddy, which was finally over.

Ling Shuang returned to her office, tilting her head and spreading out on her chair, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out, as if it had fallen apart.

There's no way, who made her the president of the company, and Chu Hao, the chairman, doesn't care about anything at all, she has to decide everything alone, can she not be tired.

At this time, Lawrence actually followed, and sat on the chair opposite Ling Shuang, without saying a word, with a gloomy expression.

The frightened secretary of Ling Shuang lost his face and didn't dare to speak.

You must know that as the founding father of the company, Lawrence's status has always been very high, and if others want to see Ling Shuang, they have to get the consent of the secretary, but Lawrence doesn't need to come, he doesn't need to say hello.

This is the second highest salary in the company.

As for asking what is the highest treatment, then it is obviously the coffee made by President Ling himself.

This kind of treatment has been enjoyed in the entire company, and Mr. Ling himself and Chu Dong.

Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and motioned for the secretary to bring a cup of tea.

The secretary suddenly felt like she had been pardoned, and left without looking back, she felt that if she stayed here any longer, this atmosphere would suppress her!

"I need an explanation!" Lawrence said with a blank face.

Ever since Ling Shuang announced this unbelievable task, his face was not good-looking, and it was only out of trust and respect for Ling Shuang that he endured it until now.

But after more than six hours of suffering, it was obvious that he couldn't bear it anymore and was on the verge of an outbreak.

Ling Shuang smiled, "I knew you were going to come along." ”

After saying that, Ling Shuang lowered her head, tapped her fingers on the keyboard a few times, and then twisted the display to show Lawrence.

Lawrence looked at the bank account balance on the computer monitor, obviously without any surprise, glanced at it, and then said: "I know there is money on it, Chu Hao returned the money, right!"

Ling Shuang paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said helplessly: "You count well." ”

"Count, what's there!"

Lawrence muttered, but out of trust in Ling Shuang, he still pointed his short finger on the display, counting one-digit, one-digit.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand...... 100 million, 100 billion, 5.5 billion dollars!"

Lawrence exclaimed, looking at the numbers on the computer monitor in horror, obviously in disbelief.

"Five and a half billion dollars? Is it really five and a half billion dollars? Am I not wrong? Or is it five hundred and fifty million dollars, I counted one wrong digit, and I have to count again!"

I don't know if it's surprise or joy, Lawrence is a little incoherent when he speaks.

"It's true, it's fifty-five billion dollars!" Ling Shuang nodded.

Although he already knew in his heart that this was indeed the truth, Lawrence couldn't help but gasp, what a fifty-five billion dollars!

This is completely an astronomical number, far beyond his imagination.

He dreamed at night that one day, there would be 5.5 billion dollars in front of him, which if all were withdrawn from the bank, I am afraid that it would fill a football field!

"This is what Chu Hao earned back?" Lawrence said, pointing to the computer monitor, his fingers trembling.

"It seems, Lawrence, that although you are a little older, you still have a very bright brain!" Ling Shuang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lawrence glanced at Ling Shuang, he really learned from Chu Hao badly, obviously he would actually tease him!

He can guess, it's actually very simple.

After all, he is not stupid, and he knows the cause and effect, so apart from the fact that Chu Hao got this money back, he really can't imagine how he can have so much money in front of him.

It's just that with his barren imagination, he really can't imagine what Chu Hao is doing to earn back 5.5 billion US dollars at once.

"How did Chu Hao make so much money?" Lawrence asked.

Ling Shuang told Lawrence all the that Chu Hao had done.

"This stinky boy is too lawless!" Lawrence said with wide eyes.

If it weren't for Ling Shuang's own words, and the fact that so much money in front of him was the best proof, he really couldn't believe that a dignified scientist, a future Nobel Prize winner, and the actual owner of a billion-dollar company, would actually gamble with others.

However, the most unbelievable thing is that even if Chu Hao won the bet, he actually earned so much money back.

This can only show that the person who gambled with Chu Hao is richer than Chu Hao, and he has no brains than Chu Hao!

"Now, you know why I started so many projects and projects at once. Ling Shuang said.

Lawrence nodded, he really knew now.

No wonder, Ling Shuang would spend money so crazily, if he was the president of Huapan and now had so much money in his hands, if he didn't spend money so crazily, it would be really crazy!

Not to mention, what if Chu Hao is gambling with others, there is still so much money lying in the bank account, it is Chi Guoguo's crime.

After all, if you lie in your bank account, you can have a few interest money, and if it becomes a project, you don't know how much money you earn.

Especially Huapan, an enterprise with a high rate of return and profits.

It can be said that if you invest one dollar today, you will be able to return five dollars next year.

Even if it is, because of the wide net and high investment, the rate of return is reduced, but it is no problem to earn back four yuan next year.
