Chapter 425 The price of iron ore has risen

Shi Hongbao is so angry! On the surface, Gong Xinglong said it very reasonably. He also knew that Jiang Feng is now a celebrity in the military, especially Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, which is a military-industrial enterprise that the military attaches great importance to. Because of Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, the military has awarded Colonel Jiang Feng the rank of unprecedentedly.

However, Shi Hongbao knew better about the relationship between Jiang Feng and Gong Xinglong. If Gong Xinglong let him go, Jiang Feng would never cause trouble. Now that Gong Xinglong refused to let him go, he said that Jiang Feng disagreed, that was completely fooling him.

So, Shi Hongbao was really a little angry. He said coldly: "Commander Gong, please take care of yourself!"

Shi Hongbao hung up the phone angrily. He knew that he had talked to Gong Xinglong for one day, but the others were still in a difficult position. So Shi Hongbao called the capital and asked the army there to send a letter to the Shicheng Military Sub-district and get the people out.

**, Shi Yiguo is really brainless. This little thing has been trapped by others, and he beats people in front of the district party secretary and district mayor. Can this not be seen?

The next day, the capital city sent a fax to the Shicheng Military Sub-district, saying that the two soldiers were indeed theirs. As for how to deal with them, they would deal with them and would not disappoint others.

Since he received a fax from the capital, Gong Xinglong no longer insisted. He called Jiang Feng and told him about this matter.

But Jiang Feng refused to follow the situation. He said that the other party wanted to beat him, at least he had to give an explanation before he could let the person go. If the military sub-district could not manage it, he would hand over the person to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Gong Xinglong laughed secretly in his heart. He wanted to say this. If you beat Jiang Feng, you will give up if you don’t agree. You will solve the problem.

Gong Xinglong fed back Jiang Feng's opinion to the Shi family in the capital. The Shi family thought about it and came to Rong Guoqiang to speak. They promised to pay a gift and gave 20,000 yuan as compensation.

In Jiang Feng's eyes, money is a small matter, and what he wants is the Shi family to pay a gift. If they don't pay a gift, then these two people will be held in the military sub-district and will not be released. The bodyguards do their business for you Shi family, but you don't think about how to get the people out, and they won't do their best to do things for you in the future.

Rong Guoqiang also called Jiang Feng. He asked Jiang Feng to stop making trouble. Don't make trouble too much, otherwise others would think that Jiang Feng was too much. Jiang Feng didn't want to make trouble anymore. Since the Shi family had already apologized, he would no longer be thwarted. He called Gong Xinglong and asked him to let him go.

This matter was originally an introduction. His purpose was to deal with the matter of Shicheng No. 1 Middle School. Since Shi Yiguo was humiliated by Jiang Feng in Shicheng, he also left Shicheng. Shi Yiguo knew that he would definitely not succeed in asking for the land of Shicheng No. 1 Middle School. He also knew what kind of person Jiang Feng was, and the other party would definitely obstruct him.

What worried Shi Yiguo was that his two bodyguards had brought up the matter of dealing with Shicheng No. 1 Middle School at that time. Although his subordinates did not sign the confession later, Jiang Feng also knew about this matter. If he was still entangled in Shicheng No. 1 Middle School, he would only shoot himself in the foot.

When Jiang Feng found out that Shi Yiguo had left Shicheng, he was relieved. Although he was now among the top ten richest people in the world and had a net worth of more than 150 billion yuan, his strength could not confront a large family like the Shi family unless he left the country. But this was obviously impossible. Jiang Feng had no idea of ​​leaving Chinese nationality. Now the other party doesn't care about him, he will not confront the Shi family anymore.

"The price of iron ore has increased again." Jiang Feng flipped through today's newspaper and said with some annoyance.

"Is this related to you as a price increase in iron ore?" Gao Ziyi, who was helping Jiang Feng get breakfast, asked in surprise.

Because today we are going to help Gao Mao with the most thorough treatment, Jiang Feng came to Mr. Feng's house very early and did not have breakfast, so Gao Ziyi volunteered to get them something to eat.

The price increase of iron ore is of course related to Jiang Fengda.

To build Shicheng Airport, tens of thousands of tons of steel are required to use. Jiangfeng is now planning to technically transform the iron plant in Jiangzhou to produce a large amount of steel. However, there are not many high-quality iron ore near Jiangzhou, so it must rely on imports.

If imports are considered, the main choices are Vale, BHP and Rio Tinto.

His first choice is naturally the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter, the Vale Company in Brazil.

Brazil has extremely rich iron ore resources, accounting for about 6.5% of the world's total reserves, making it the world's largest iron ore producer. Brazil's Vale is the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter, and the largest mining company on the American continent. It is known as the crown gem of Brazil and the engine of the Amazon region. The company was established in 1942. In addition to operating iron ore sand, it also operates manganese ore sand, aluminum ore, gold ore and other mineral products, as well as pulp, port, railway and energy.

Vale iron ore production accounts for 80% of Brazil's total output. Its iron ore resources are concentrated in the Iron Quadrico and Bala State in northern Brazil. It has Tinbopebe iron ore, Capanima iron ore, and its iron ore reserves are retained about 4 billion tons.

BHP and Rio Tinto are mainly focused on Australia. From the perspective of operational difficulty, it is easier to cooperate with Vale. The backend boss of BHP and Rio Tinto is British, and these guys are too conservative and difficult to deal with.

When dealing with these guys, the mainlanders are useless, so Fan Wubing made it because he came out with an overseas company, and it was nothing more than the destination of the shipment in mainland China.

Although less than four months have passed this year, the price of international iron ore has risen by about 15%, which is also a huge loss for Jiang Feng. Therefore, he was naturally a little unhappy when he saw this news.

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has continued to maintain a high growth rate and steel output has grown rapidly. However, the domestic mine production potential is limited, the iron ore grade is low, and the mining cost is very high. Ore production can no longer meet the needs of steel production growth. Therefore, foreign trade imports have increased rapidly. In recent years, the average annual growth rate of imported iron ore has been greater than the increase in steel production.

In 2003, about 148.13 million tons of iron ore imported through foreign trade in ports. Iron ore has become the largest cargo in China's foreign trade bulk cargo import and export, accounting for about 10% of the global ore sea transportation. It occupies an important position in global iron ore transportation.

However, since domestic subway ore imports are done by companies, it is a bit chaotic. Domestic steel companies have not formed a consortium to negotiate pricing power with international iron ore giants. Therefore, they have never taken the initiative in price and can only passively accept the price of land set by others.

The northern region is an important steel production base in China. Here, there are many steel enterprises, scattered layouts and a comparable scale. The ore required by each steel mill is based on surrounding mines. Imported ore is mainly used for distribution of ores or to make up for the shortage of own mines, and the import volume is mostly around one million tons.

There are many steel enterprises along the Yangtze River, including Baosteel, Shanggang, Meigang, Magang, Wuhan Iron and other local steel enterprises, and the steel output accounts for about 30% of the country. The iron ore resources in the region are very scarce, and it is the region with the lowest level of self-produced ore guarantee in the country. Therefore, it is also the region where the amount of foreign trade imported ore is the largest. The region's foreign trade imported iron ore accounts for more than half of the country's land.

Due to the characteristics of the construction sites along the river and the differences in the conditions of the river and sea channel, most of the iron ore required by the steel mills along the Yangtze River are transferred to Beilun Port, Ningcheng.

In the early 1980s, in order to cooperate with the construction of Baosteel in Mingzhu City, the Beilun Port District of Ningcheng Port built my country's first professional iron ore terminal of 100,000 tons and supporting transport facilities. During this period, China's imported ore scale was not large, only a few million tons.

After the 1990s, with the rapid development of China's steel industry, foreign trade imports of iron ore continued to increase. Due to the lack of large-scale loading and unloading terminals, many ports used bulk cargo berths of 30,000 to 50,000 tons to collect ore, and a large number of imported foreign trade mines could only use ships below 50,000 tons to directly reach the port, which was particularly common in northern regions. Not only did the loading and unloading efficiency of the terminals, but the transportation cost was also very high, causing huge economic losses to the hinterland steel mills.

Thinking about the miserable situation of domestic steel companies being forced to survive and die because of iron ore many years later, Jiang Feng felt that he should do something now. At least the Japanese's stake in Australia and Brazil's iron ore has just been launched on a large scale. If he can intervene in these three major iron ore production and export companies and control certain equity, it will certainly be beneficial to his future development, and it will also be of assistance to other domestic steel companies.

However, if you really want to acquire super-large companies like Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Vale, the funds involved will inevitably be very large. Based on the current situation, it will take tens of billions of dollars to support any of them.

Moreover, this involves some more complex political factors, and no one is willing to hand over the country's largest mineral enterprise to foreigners to take control unless it is forced.

Another way is to vigorously develop its own mining company. After all, Jiang's Group has established its own mining company last year, and Jiangfeng has already laid out a plan in Africa and controlled several countries where super-large deposits have not been discovered. These countries have been discovered by mining exploration personnel privately sent by Jiangfeng to exceed 50 billion tons of iron ore, and copper ore has also exceeded 10 billion tons. These ore reserves are completely enough to support a super-large mining company.

However, the funds needed to develop these minerals are also astronomical, and Jiang Feng does not have much working capital now, which makes Jiang Feng a little annoyed. Jiang Feng was hesitating whether he should use some of the many companies under the Jiang Group to list in order to gain some working capital to develop some of his planned careers.
