On the third day of the air show, everyone's eyes once again looked at Mingzhou Group.

Iron ore is embargoed!

What should I do with Mingzhou Group?

It seems that they have no reaction?

Qin Tao took Zhao Ling and continued to walk around the air show.

The previous two days was a weekend, and there were more people in the air show. Today, among the people participating in the air show, there were obviously fewer ordinary tourists, leaving only professional audiences.

The air show has also begun to get to the point. Some guests who have been watching for two days have already begun to sign contracts and orders one after another.

Like the auto show, the air show shows your own products and offer a discounted price. If the customer can sign a contract on the spot, it will bring new vitality to the exhibition and make many people talk about it.

For example now.

"The Foxconn Fighter was successfully exported and twelve were sold!"

For this fighter, it is quite difficult to export. When Qin Tao received this news, a smile appeared on his face, which means that the door for a new customer was opened.

In the air show office, Sang Hua and Pareo officially signed a contract, which means that the project has officially reached a cooperation. Just wait for Mingzhou Group as a third party to sign the agreement together.

Qin Tao opened the door and looked at the person inside: "Everyone, congratulations on your cooperation."

"Mr. Qin, I heard that the iron ore suppliers of Kangaroo Kingdom stopped supplying iron ore to you. Are you in trouble? If there is any difficulty, our crying country is willing to help you."

The Crying Country also has iron ore exports, but it is not as many as the Kangaroo Country. Now, when he heard the other party's words, Qin Tao smiled and shook his head: "No, we just need to carry out the previous lithium mine cooperation. I believe that you will not give up your cooperation with us under the conspiracy of some people, right?"

"Of course not. Lithium ore is only used to make batteries and weapons. It is not the third party to make a move when we cooperate with you." Pareo shook his head.

"That's good. You must always remember who abandoned you in the war in 1982, our third world countries have common interests."

Pareo's face became serious.

In the war in 1982, they had hope of victory. The biggest problem was not command, but logistics, and weapons supply. They were originally the closest friends of the United States in South America. They thought that the outbreak of the war, the United States was only neutral at most. However, after the war, the United States stood behind the British without hesitation and served as a backing for the British. The Americans stopped exporting weapons to the crying countries and strictly prohibited exports from third countries!

They were betrayed by the United States.

Now, their army is becoming increasingly weak, and if they want to purchase weapons, they will be ruined by the British. Their only choice is to find East cooperation!

They have common interests and they are all being exploited by superpowers.

"Mr. Qin, do you really need our help in the issue of iron ore shortage? Even if we are just a middleman, it is OK to transfer it to you." Pareo said.

"Thank you for your support. If you need it, I will ask you for help." Qin Tao said: "You are our true friend. Next, we will do our best to get the best interests in the development of lithium mines."

Kangaroo Country, BHP Company Headquarters.

Founded in 1885, the company is headquartered in the capital of Kangaroo. It is one of the oldest and largest companies in Kangaroo. In 2001, the company and Billyton merged into BHP Billiton, becoming the world's largest mining company.

Now, although there has not been a merger, BHP is still a world-class mining giant. Now, the company's headquarters is filled with a lively atmosphere.

"Although Mr. Qin still appeared at the air show, it looked careless. In fact, he must have been anxious. After all, their company relies heavily on our iron ore. As long as our iron ore supply is cut off, their company will have to stop work!"

"Yes, Mingzhou Group has developed too fast and has seriously affected world peace. Such a company must go bankrupt!"

Everyone was excited.

"Everyone, our iron ore mining volume has developed. If we lose our big customer, Mingzhou Group, what should we do if our iron ore cannot be sold?"

Some people expressed concern, but were interrupted by others later.

"How come our iron ore can't be sold? Dongfang is not just one steel plant in Mingzhou Group, they also have many steel plants. Their economy is developing very fast, and they need a large amount of iron ore! I think we can take this opportunity to increase the export price of iron ore."

The company's head, Ander, sat there with his back, looking at the beautiful scene outside the window and listening to the discussion behind him. When he heard this, he turned his chair back and looked at the people present.

"Yes, our iron ore prices are too cheap," said Ender. "I think it's necessary for us to increase the price of iron ore by 20 percent!"

Anyway, the cost of mining is certain, and the more expensive they sell, the more money they make.

They are confident that they provide the East with 70% iron ore supply. The East's economy is developing rapidly and the demand for steel is increasing. So high-rise buildings are rising from the ground. How can it be achieved without steel?

So, it's time to increase the price!

"Okay, then we will notify Dongfang immediately." said the subordinate.

At this moment, another person walked in.

"Everyone, I just received the information that the heads of all the steel mills in the East were going to the capital to have a party. I don't know what they were going to discuss." Wien said.

He can freely enter and exit BHP, but he is not an employee of the company. He is the link between BHP and the United States. He can convey many instructions and he can also bring a lot of news.

"Gathering? What else can they do with the party? Could it be that they want to even out part of the iron ore to Mingzhou Group? Humph, we strictly prohibit third parties from transferring it to Mingzhou Group, otherwise our offer will increase by 50%!" Ende did not realize that there was anything serious.

The East, the capital.

Everyone's expressions were a little serious. They knew what happened recently. They also knew that Mingzhou Group had countermeasures. Mingzhou Group was not afraid, but what about other companies?

"Today, we are summoned to the capital for the recent anti-iron of Kangaroo iron ore embargo." On the rostrum, the leader Wang, who was responsible for hosting the meeting, said earnestly: "What happened to Mingzhou Group today may happen to Wuhan Iron and Steel, Angang, and Baogang tomorrow. Don't have anything to do without your own attitude. This matter is related to the healthy development of our entire steel industry!"

No one was talking below, and everyone's expressions were very serious.

"In recent years, our country's economy has undergone earth-shaking changes. Our national construction, national defense construction, export and foreign exchange earnings, etc. all require a large amount of steel, and our future development potential is greater! We have predicted that the next ten years will be the golden age of the development of our country's steel industry. Our annual crude steel output will increase at a rate of about 20%. Although our demand for imported iron ore is less than 100 million tons, soon, we will increase rapidly to hundreds of millions of tons, and our iron ore imports will also reach a share of 50% in the world. Everyone, do you know what this means?"

"We have the largest iron ore import volume in the world, and we will have the right to speak of iron ore import! For a long time, all our domestic steel companies have fought independently and signed agreements with foreign countries. In order to get iron ore, they even maliciously raised prices to crack down on their peers." Leader Wang said: "This kind of thing cannot happen again in the future. We must join forces! Therefore, we must establish the China Iron and Steel Association, and in the name of this organization, we will negotiate with foreign iron ore producers, and after obtaining iron ore, we will make unified distribution!"

"Leader Wang, are we going to go back to the era of big pot rice in the past?" Someone spoke below.

Leader Wang looked over with serious eyes, but he didn't know the person who spoke.

"Yes, aren't we going to engage in competition and develop through competition? Are we going to go back now?"

He didn't know this person either. He should be the head of a small steel factory in China. It was their honor to attend meetings of this level. Unexpectedly, they dared to openly provoke?

Leader Wang suppressed his anger: "If someone thinks that the China Iron and Steel Association is not suitable, then he can not participate. However, all corporate import qualifications will be taken back, and all iron ore imports will be carried out through the China Iron and Steel Association in the future."

Don't want to participate, and want to go out and destroy the situation?

OK, then just stop your iron ore import qualifications!

"Now, if you join the China Iron and Steel Association, you can vote."

Large steel mills raised their hands one after another. Some small and medium-sized enterprises, after watching for a long time, had to raise their hands. They knew what would happen if they were isolated.

"Leader Wang, now not only is the price of iron ore high, but the price of coke required for iron smelting is also not low. If we want to reduce costs, we need low-cost coke. Since our China Iron and Steel Association has been established, can we solve the coke supply problem for us?"

"That's right, that is, those large steel mills have their own coke production plants, and we, small and medium-sized steel mills, do not have this convenient condition. Our costs are getting higher and higher!"

"The problem of coke is mainly because the country now attaches importance to environmental protection. Some small coking plants with unqualified emissions have been closed. It is also necessary for us to pay some price for the environment." Leader Wang said: "The steel we produce cannot take the path of low prices. We must improve our product quality and follow the quality route!"

There is a lot of steel produced in China, but the quality of these steel is not high. Most steel mills only refine iron ore into crude steel, and then export crude steel. After importing it from other countries, they will refine it. Among them, the most polluted and least profitable ones remain in the East.

This industrial model is backward and must be changed.

"We agreed to join forces to keep warm and negotiate with the iron ore suppliers. What if the suppliers do not surrender? If they reduce the supply of iron ore to us, how should we distribute the iron ore we imported?"

Looking at the scene, Zhang Jinxi, the director of Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant, stood up.

"Leader Wang, I have a few suggestions that I want to say at this meeting. Of course, if you don't say it well, please wait for you."

"Well, tell me, your Mingzhou Group is the largest company in our country. The suggestions you put forward are definitely the best."

"First, the first thing is that we must pay attention to the recycling of scrap steel. In many occasions, the steel smelted from scrap steel is already sufficient to use. We can reduce the import of iron ore by recharging the scrap steel."

"But now, the price of domestic scrap steel recycling is also rising." Someone spoke.

Since 1997, scrap steel prices have soared due to many reasons. For example, international iron ore prices have increased, such as domestic environmental pollution control, soaring from two to three hundred to seven to eight hundred. By 1998, the cost of scrap steel recycling had reached about 1,000 yuan per ton, and the price was ridiculously high.

Many small and medium-sized steel companies use scrap steel to reheat as their main production method, and now they are suffering.

"We import from abroad." Zhang Jinxi said: "Now, we have negotiated with Damao. The scrap steel imported from them is priced at 80 US dollars per ton, which is as much as possible. Our Mingzhou Group does not intend to make money from this project. If our domestic peers need it, they can just go directly to the trade point on the border to pick up goods."

Eighty US dollars per ton, which is equivalent to more than 600 yuan per ton. Although the price is not as good as in previous years, it is much cheaper than the price of domestic scrap steel recycling!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In this way, small and medium-sized steel plants can reduce some production costs.

"However, there are many impurities in scrap steel, and the technology required for smelting is very complicated. The steel smelting is limited in use. We still want iron ore." Some people also expressed their rejection, and they still like iron ore!

"That's right, some large steel mills don't like scrap steel because they are afraid of the complex smelting of scrap steel. However, our Mingzhou Group can guarantee the bottom line here. If the scrap steel you smelted has no market, our Mingzhou Group can buy it and then refine it."

Zhang Jinxi gave these people a reassurance. The scrap steel was recycled and melted into steel ingots through the electric furnace. Then it needed further refinement.

If a small steel mill cannot be done, Mingzhou Group can come forward and they are responsible for refining!

In fact, this is also a direction for Mingzhou Group's industrial upgrading. In the steel market, the price of crude steel is not high, which is a low-level industry that wastes energy. Refining crude steel is more profitable. Mingzhou Steel Plant can completely go to another level to reduce crude steel production and increase the output of refined steel, which can further increase production capacity and increase efficiency.

"Iron ore is indeed a problem. We have to report to the group to keep warm and lower the price with foreign iron ore suppliers. The other party will definitely be dissatisfied. Therefore, we are also prepared. If the other party uses a method of reducing production to cause a supply in the market and lead to a counter-cyclical increase in iron ore prices, then we can provide iron ore to domestic peers to reduce the demand for iron ore in the market."

"You provide iron ore?" Everyone present was shocked.

"Where did you get the iron ore?"

"The scale of iron ore mining in football countries has expanded?"

"Yes, what method are you using?"

"Sorry, this is kept confidential for the time being. What I said here is arranged by President Qin. Since we have said it, we will definitely find a way to complete it. If there is too much, it is still okay to supply the iron ore gap for two or three years."

"Since Mingzhou Group has made arrangements long ago, we won't be afraid!"

"This time, we must fight this battle well. In the future, we will gain the right to speak and avoid being bullied!"

"Mingzhou Group has the courage of a big dog player."
