"The price of iron ore has risen again." Fan Wuxi flipped through today's newspaper and said with some annoyance.

"The price of iron ore has risen, does this have anything to do with you?" Feng Ping, who was helping Fan Wuxian make breakfast, asked in surprise.

Because he wanted to help Feng Mao with the most thorough treatment today, Fan Wuxian came to the hospital very early and didn't eat breakfast, so Feng Ping volunteered to get them something to eat, but the conditions in the hospital naturally can't be compared with the family, that is, it's just a rough fiddle.

The rise in iron ore prices has a lot to do with Fan Wuji. To build the Panshi Airport, which will use tens of thousands of tons of steel, Fan Wuzhi now plans to carry out technical transformation of the iron plant in Shuixi County to enable it to produce a large amount of steel, but there are not too many high-quality iron mines near Panshi, which must rely on imports.

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

His first choice was, of course, Brazil's Vale, the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore.

Brazil is extremely rich in iron ore resources, accounting for about 6.5% of the world's total reserves, and is the world's largest producer of iron-rich ore.

5.2.0 debutBrazil's Vale, the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore and the largest mining company on the American continent, is known as the jewel in Brazil's crown and the engine of the Amazon.

Founded in 1942, the company not only deals in iron ore, but also deals in manganese ore, aluminum, gold ore and other mineral products, as well as pulp, ports, railways and energy.

Vale's iron ore production accounts for 80% of Brazil's total output, and its iron ore resources are concentrated in the Iron Four Corners region and the state of Bará in northern Brazil, with iron ore reserves of about 4 billion tons.

And BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto. The main focus is on Australia, and it is easier to work with Vale in terms of ease of operation, and BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are British backstage bosses, and these guys are too conservative to deal with.

Dealing with these guys, domestic people are useless. Therefore, Fan Wuxian came forward with his own overseas company, which is nothing more than the destination of the shipment is Chinese mainland.

\\\\\ the price of international iron ore has risen by about 15 percent now, which is also a big loss for Fan Wuxi, so when he saw this news, he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart.

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has maintained a relatively high growth rate. Iron and steel production is growing rapidly, but the potential of domestic mines to increase production is limited, the grade of iron ore is low, the mining cost is very high, and the ore production can no longer meet the needs of the growth of steel production, so the import volume of foreign trade has increased rapidly.

In recent years, the average annual growth rate of imported iron ore has been greater than the incremental growth rate of steel production. Iron ore imported through the port is about 40 million tons, and iron ore has become the largest type of bulk import and export in China's foreign trade, accounting for about 10% of the global ore shipping volume, and occupies a pivotal position in the global iron ore transportation.

However, because the domestic iron ore import is the enterprise in its own way, it is a bit chaotic. Domestic steel companies have not formed a consortium to negotiate pricing power with international iron ore giants, so they have not taken the initiative in price, and only passively accept the price set by others.

The first novel 520 The northern region is an important steel production base in China, where there are a large number of iron and steel enterprises, scattered layout, and comparable scale.

The ore required by each steel mill is based on the surrounding mines, and the imported ore is mainly used for ore blending or making up for the shortage of its own mines, and most of the imports are about one million tons.

There are many iron and steel enterprises along the Yangtze River, including Baosteel, Shanghai Iron and Steel, Meishan Iron and Steel, Mashan Iron and Steel, Wuhan Iron and Steel and other local iron and steel enterprises.

Iron and steel production accounts for about three-thirds of the country, and the iron ore resources in the region are very scarce, and it is the area with the lowest degree of self-produced ore guarantee in the country, so it is also the area with the largest amount of imported ore in foreign trade.

The region's foreign trade imports of iron ore account for more than half of the country's total. Due to the characteristics of the construction of most iron and steel enterprises along the Yangtze River and the differences in the conditions of rivers and seas, most of the iron ore required by steel mills along the Yangtze River is transited in Ningbo Beilun Port.

In the early 80s, in order to cooperate with the construction of Shanghai Baosteel, the Beilun Port Area of Ningbo Port built China's first 100,000-ton iron ore specialized wharf and supporting transshipment facilities.

During this period, China's imports of ore were not large. The \\\\\ is only a few million tons. After the nineties.

With the rapid development of China's iron and steel industry, the import of iron ore has been increasing. Due to the lack of a large receiving and unloading dock.

Many ports use 30,000-50,000 tons of bulk cargo berths to receive and unload ore. A large number of imported ores can only be directly arrived at the port by ships of less than 50,000 tons, which is especially common in the northern region.

Not only is the loading and unloading efficiency of the terminal low, but the transportation cost is also very high, which has caused huge economic losses to the hinterland steel mills.

Thinking that many years later, because of the iron ore matter, the domestic iron and steel companies have been made to survive and not to die in a miserable situation, Fan Wuxian feels that he should do something now, at least the Japanese for Australia and Brazil iron ore participation has not been carried out on a large scale, and the privatization of the Brazilian iron ore industry has not been carried out on a large scale, now if you can intervene in the three major iron ore production and export companies, control a certain amount of equity, for their future development is of course very beneficial, that is, for other domestic steel enterprises, also has the grace of salvation.

But if you really want to buy a super company like Rio Tinto or BHP Billiton and Vale, the money involved must be very large, and it is estimated that the acquisition of any one of these companies will need to be supported by tens of billions of dollars.

Moreover, there are more complex political factors involved, and no one wants to hand over the country's largest mining company to a foreigner, unless it is forced to do so.

Fan Wuxian thought about it and felt that it was easier to control Vale, but it was much more difficult to control established companies like Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and it still depended on opportunities.

However, this thing cannot be done in a day or two, so Fan Wuxian thought about it, and now by turning a large amount of money into zero, taking advantage of the opportunity of the international stock market recession, he will first infiltrate the capital market where the three enterprises are located, and once the opportunity is ripe, he will carry out a large-scale attack, and strive to complete the holding target of more than 30% of these three enterprises at the same time.

Thinking of this, Fan Wuxi's mind was not in the hospital, he planned to take out 30 billion US dollars to absorb the shares of these three companies as much as possible, the best goal is to control one of them and participate in two of them, if it is too much, I am afraid it will backfire, after all, there is an anti-monopoly regulation, this thing is not so easy to deal with.

"Still thinking about things?" Feng Ping shook her fingers in front of Fan Wuxian and asked with some confusion.

For a long time, what Fan Wuxian showed in front of Feng Ping and Chen Jingchu was that kind of heartless look, Feng Ping had never seen him think about a matter here so seriously, and suddenly seeing Fan Wuxian silent, everyone would feel a little uncomfortable.

Feng Ping took a bowl of mushroom and cheese soup she had made and handed it to Fan Wuxi, and made him a piece of pie.

Fan Wuxian was drinking soup while thinking about his own affairs, so he didn't feel Chen Jingchu and Fan Tianlan walking in.

Chen Jingchu walked up to Fan Wuxian with a spring breeze on his face and said to him,

"It's strange that all the people outside my house disappeared overnight." After being harassed by this group of people for more than a week, there was no freedom of movement, and the family members were also deeply affected, Chen Jingchu didn't want to be disgusted with these nasty guys, after these people suddenly disappeared, Chen Jingchu was naturally greatly relieved, but when he thought about it, he felt a little strange, after all, this thing looked abnormal.

Not many people know about the conflict at the gate of the Panshi City Government, and the final propaganda caliber to the outside world is a joint exercise, so everyone does not know what the root cause of this matter is, and ordinary people naturally have no way of knowing.

Chen Jingchu didn't know that this matter was actually caused by himself, but he thought that it must have something to do with Fan Wuxi.

Fan Wuxian listened to Chen Jingchu's words, smiled slightly, and said in his heart that the water in this is deep. Because of this incident, many old cases were involved, and later Fan Wuxian was troubled, and the personnel of the entire military region were greatly affected, and now the high-level military officials all know that Fan Wuxian is a master who can't be provoked, and it's better not to provoke him if it's okay, so the scouts and other characters of the art troupe who were squatting at the door of Chen Jingchu's house suddenly dispersed in a hurry and went back to various places.

The old man dipped Fan Wuxi's light, drank a bowl of mushroom and cheese soup, and went out for a while, then walked back and said to Fan Wuxi,

"Today, let's treat Fengmao thoroughly, so as to complete the service!"
