Chapter 214 Wealth and Right to Say
After drinking, you will naturally talk more.
Tong Yushan and Fan Wubing drank a few drinks, and then they remembered something, so they asked curiously, "I have never been embarrassed to ask you, how big is your business? The entertainment company in Shanghai alone should be worth thousands of dollars, right?"
Fan Wubing nodded and said, "The New Silk Road Entertainment Company has invested a total of 20 million US dollars. Others have some small industries everywhere, and there are some stocks, bonds and other countries in the United States and Japan, which should be considered a bit of money."
"More than 20 million US dollars, just the New Silk Road Entertainment Company-" Tong Yushan had not drunk too much, and he was a little shocked when he heard this. More than 20 million US dollars were almost 200 million RMB, which was just a part of the investment. From Fan Wubing's tone, there were many big businesses in addition to this.
I don’t know how Fan Heng raised his son, and why he made money so much? Tong Yushan couldn’t understand this, so he continued to drink with Fan Wubing.
After finishing her meal, Tong Xiaoyun went with Aunt Ding to help the nanny clean up the dishes.
"Why did you let Wujian cook again today? It's a bit bad for people to do this kind of thing." Aunt Ding complained a little.
"What can that happen?" Tong Xiaoyun snorted, "I'm doing well in cooking, can you stop me?"
"There should be a distinction between a host and a guest. He is not our son-in-law." Aunt Ding felt a little regretful when she said this. Unfortunately, her daughter was a little older than Fan Wubing. Although the gap between three and four years old was not very big, it was enough to create a very difficult gap between the two.
Tong Xiaoyun went to get detergent to soak the dishes. After hearing Aunt Ding's words, she suddenly felt a little irritable and became more violent, making the dishes and chopsticks sound.
"Be gentle, as you do, after washing the dishes, these bowls will not be used." Aunt Ding looked at the set of tableware she had ordered from Jingdezhen with some heartache, and her daughter had already been tossed to death by her daughter.
"If you can't use it, just change it to a new one. It's not that our family has no money." Tong Xiaoyun said with a tough sentence.
Hey, my daughter's condition is a bit wrong today? Aunt Ding suddenly discovered this problem, so she looked at Tong Xiaoyun suspiciously, hoping to find some clues on his face. But unfortunately, after Tong Xiaoyun vented for a while, she returned to peace. Aunt Ding never thought about the reason for her daughter's loss of composure, because it was because of Fan Wubing.
Tong Yushan and Fan Wubing were drinking vigorously. He suddenly thought of a question and asked Fan Wubing, "It's strange recently. A vice president of Baosteel mentioned yesterday that the price of international iron ore suddenly rose without warning, and the range is quite large. You are speculating on US stocks. Do you know this?"
The international iron ore price has risen? Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment, patted his forehead, and asked, "Is it because the price of iron ore in Australia has increased? It has caused the price of iron ore to rise globally?"
"Yes! It is the price increase of Australian iron ore that has caused the global price surge. There is no sign of this incident. Baosteel suffered a lot of losses as a result." Tong Yushan asked curiously, "It seems that you are really very knowledgeable about this. When I mention the price increase of iron ore, you will know where the problem lies."
Fan Wubing thought to himself, of course I know that the price of iron ore in Australia has increased, and no one knows better than me what's going on.
Previously, Fan Wubing gave death orders to his American subordinates, collecting Rio Tinto and BHP from the market or private channels through various channels. He made a big move of tens of billions of dollars. Even if he did it secretly, he could not avoid investors and conspirators with a keen sense of smell. The price increase of iron ore is of course a very obvious market reaction.
It seems that his acquisition plan will not be smooth sailing, but Fan Wubing has long had this awareness, and the British will not see the chips in their hands being easily taken away, and Australians are not willing to see their way of making money change their owners again. All of this will create great obstacles to their acquisition plan, which is predictable.
Fortunately, my goal is just to collect about 20% of the shares, and I don’t have to become the controlling shareholder all at once, so I don’t want to engage in a blind equity battle.
Selling high and buying low is a common method. Fan Wubing is not worried that it will take too long. He has enough time to deal with others. He can wait for the right opportunity and rush out and take a bite on the other party's fat meat. Over time, he will not worry about not being able to achieve his goal.
Fan Wubing told Tong Yushan, "The price of international iron ore has never been fixed, and it is normal for some fluctuations to occur now."
In fact, the two largest buyers of international iron ore are China and Japan. In addition to Rio Tinto, Australia's Rio Tinto company, is Brazil's Vale company. The main customers of the three companies are Japan and China's steel companies.
However, the operation methods of Chinese companies and Japanese companies in purchasing iron ore are somewhat different. Chinese companies generally fight on their own and negotiate prices with sellers separately. In this way, there will be some differences in purchase prices for each company. This may be very different depending on the demand and payment methods, as well as the negotiation methods.
In China, companies like Baosteel have the right to negotiate directly with foreign companies. At most, only half of the business they negotiate is for their own use, and the remaining part is resold to other domestic companies at a bonus price. This alone can bring a lot of benefits to the company.
As for Japanese companies, they are much smarter. They have long established the Iron and Steel Industry Association and have unified the negotiations with various iron ore companies. After agreeing on the price, domestic steel companies will order goods according to their own demands. Therefore, their demand may not be very large, but the price is very favorable, which is completely different from the fact that Chinese companies are fighting to grab business and both sides suffer.
If it weren't for this reason, Fan Wubing wouldn't have put in such a big effort to interfere in the business and want to gain the right to speak in international iron ore pricing.
In fact, in this era, the international iron ore prices are fair, because the domestic demand is not very large, but if we wait more than ten years later, the situation will be completely different. Many domestic steel companies rely on imports of iron ore, especially the import of iron ore in Australia. Although the Steel Association was established, there was still a mess of loose sand inside. When encountering good things, they rushed over and bad things, and everyone hid, and it was difficult to achieve something.
Therefore, domestic steel companies have always been the target of oppression by several iron ore giants.
The fluctuation in international iron ore prices this time is probably a signal that Rio Tinto was alert to BHP Billiton's acquisition plan.
Tong Yushan didn't think Fan Wubing was a young man who had just entered college. He felt that Fan Wubing's maturity should have surpassed many middle-aged people, and there was even an old-age wisdom in it. This feeling brought him great confusion, especially after drinking a lot of alcohol.
"What do you think is the deep-seated factor in the price increase of iron ore?" Tong Yushan asked.
Fan Wubing smiled and said, "It's very simple! The main reason is that domestic reform and opening up has accelerated! The large-scale launch of various infrastructure projects has caused the continuous rise in raw material prices. Iron ore, as the basis of the steel industry, will naturally rise. Foreigners have seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to get stuck in the neck of the Chinese."
As a result, they talked and drank too much again. Although Fan Wubing learned from the experience of the last time, his steps were a little sluggish, so the car would definitely not be able to drive, and Tong Yushan simply lay down on the bed and went to sleep directly.
Fan Wubing took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the company's people and asked them to drive to pick him up. As a result, Aunt Ding stopped Fan Wubing and said that she would be fine if she stayed there, but there would be no problem with squeezing.
Tong Xiaoyun gave up her boudoir helplessly and squeezed together with the little nanny.
This time, Fan Wubing fell asleep with peace of mind. He smelled the faint fragrance on Tong Xiaoyun's bed, and his mind was a little vague.
Last time I was on this bed - Fan Wubing put his arm behind his head and gradually fell asleep.
But before he could fall asleep, he suddenly found that the door was pushed open, and then a clever figure quietly came in, locked the door, and then slipped to his bed.
"Xiaoyun?" Fan Wubing saw Tong Xiaoyun's face clearly by looking at the moonlight shot through the thin gauze curtain outside the window, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Last time I was drunk, and both of them were doing it based on instinct. So this time, neither of them was at all drunk.
Tong Xiaoyun did not leave any time to speak for Fan Wubing. She kissed Fan Wubing's lips directly, stretched out her fragrant tongue with a little awkwardness, and expressed her emotions to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing's mind was a little confused, and he immediately reacted instinctively and responded enthusiastically.
The two of them quickly broke free from the shackles of their clothes, and wanted to break them apart and rub them into their bodies.
This time, Fan Wubing took the initiative and deeply injected his enthusiasm into Tong Xiaoyun's slightly thin body.
