Volume Three Chapter 33 Acquisition

.Chapter 33

"If I say we just had a simple meal during work, do you believe it?" Zhang Yan looked at Liu Yueru calmly. He was just in a restaurant where even air conditioners didn't even have enough sweat on his face, which proved that someone was not so calm.

"Who am I you? Do you need to report to me what you do?" Liu Yueru struggled to prevent tears from falling. The smelly stone was revealed so quickly. She found a foreign girl and said that there was nothing, why wasn't she so romantic in China!

"Hello, my name is Heidi. I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you. Are you his girlfriend?" Heidi's words were like a basin of hot water, which made the distance between the two people. Liu Yueru took a step back and said to Heidi: "I am just his colleague, you can keep silent about me."

Heidi smiled and stretched out her hand to Liu Yueru and said, "My name is Heidi. My communication with Zhang Yan is like you. It is all about work. As for other communication, I have not thought about it. But I am very happy to meet a beautiful woman like you."

Liu Yueru looked at Heidi, her blue eyes were open and some doubts were eliminated. Liu Yueru stretched out her hand and said happily: "I'm very happy to know you. My name is Liu Yueru." "No, if you have no shadow, I'll look for you!" After dinner, the female tour guide with a braid did not let Zhang Yan go. She grabbed Zhang Yan's sleeve and shouted there, attracting many diners in the restaurant to look at her. Zhang Yan also looked helpless. Quality, quality is really important.

"You are from that travel agency. I'll call your leader." After being forced, Zhang Yan had to use his own trump card. I can't handle you, but I can handle your leader, or even your leader's leader, and this is basically the one who handles you.

Sure enough, a call was called, and when Xiaopianzi's female tour guide received the call, her eyes quickly turned into a crescent moon. She smiled and bowed to Zhang Yan at 90 degrees: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. Please do whatever you want, but this is a Brussels store. If you consume it inside, please report my name - Liang Xiaocui."

"Sure!" Zhang Yan smiled and said to Liang Xiaocui's store introduction. If it was a black store introduction, it might be more appropriate. Then he said to Liu Yueru: "Would you like to negotiate with me? I think it will be of great inspiration to us in this kind of international negotiation in the future."

"Yeah, I think Zhang Yan has done a good job in this area. Only by being able to learn our strengths humbly can such people make progress. Isn't there an old saying in China? Is there a teacher for three people? What I mean is that among the three of us, I can be the teacher of you two." Heidi said.

Liu Yueru looked at Heidi. After a while, she couldn't speak. Zhang Yan couldn't stand it anymore: "What are you saying? Why did the three of you have to have a teacher? That's not what you said, but that there must be someone better than me among the people. You can get benefits by asking humbly. You female foreigner, don't pretend to be Chinese, that's useless. You don't look like a little Japanese, you look like a human being, and you learn to be like us Chinese. In fact, you only learned one shell, and there is still a scum in your bones."

"Zhang Yan, I don't agree with this sentence. In fact, the Japanese have come to the forefront of China. Japanese local steel mills hold shares and are unanimous to the outside world. In the iron ore negotiations, the New Nippon Steel represents the Japanese steel industry. It represents the interests of all steel mills, and other steel companies are also united and united. Unlike China, due to the large number of iron ore import companies and the quality is uneven, they often talk and act separately during negotiations. Just like Zhang Yan, you have easily obtained the negotiation qualification."

Zhang Yan looked solemn. After a long time of noon, he didn't take out anything useful. Unexpectedly, he took out so many things with such a simple sentence. As a master of iron ore negotiations, Heidi does have the capital to be his teacher: "Heidi, are there anything else? Is it just these?

Zhang Yan's attitude angered Heidi, who said quickly: "The important industries in Japan generally implement monopoly production, operation, circulation methods, and order. In the Japanese steel industry, monopoly operations are particularly obvious. The current four major steel giants, Nippon Steel, JFEHoldns, Kobe Iron Manufacturing, and Sumitomo Metal Industry, have a production of three-quarters of Japan's steel production. The high degree of monopoly ensures that Japanese steel companies can be consistent with the outside world. Therefore, Japan's steel companies only have one voice when negotiating raw material imports.

In order to prevent being bribed by foreign companies, Nippon Steel and several other steel companies have also taken the method of holding shares to defend themselves.

In terms of fierce iron ore development in the world, Japanese companies are also unanimous to the outside world. In December 2007, Japan's Mitsui Products, Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal jointly invested and jointly developed Western Australia iron ore with Rio Tinto to achieve shared benefits and shared risks.

In terms of iron ore transportation, Japanese companies try to use their own enterprises. For example, there is a long-term contract between the merchant ship Mitsui and Nippon Railway. To transport overseas iron ore, Mitsui must use the world's largest 320,000-ton iron ore special ship, which effectively avoids the fluctuations in raw material prices caused by the manipulation of sea freight prices by iron ore giants.

In addition, the coordination of industry associations avoids vicious competition between steel companies. The Japanese Iron and Steel Alliance member companies share commercial information. On the website of the Iron and Steel Alliance, you can see steel demand, import and export statistics, production statistics, etc. These are all things that Chinese enterprises do not have.”

Zhang Yan looked so embarrassed that he was actually already happy. The meal was not in vain, and he suddenly found so many meaningful things. In the price of iron ore, the freight rate accounted for a large amount. Thinking about the price of crude oil in a few years, the price of freight rate rose to more than 100 US dollars. The freight rate rose sharply, which seemed to be something to consider. It seems that I have to be more careful in the afternoon negotiations.

But Zhang Yan didn't expect that he could not participate in the afternoon negotiations. It was not that he was turned away by the negotiation team, but that Zhang Yan was very embarrassed to be poisoned by seafood. Because he ate too many North Sea grey shrimps and mistakenly ate the grey shrimp head, Zhang Yan felt dizzy shortly after he went out. Then he plunged into Heidi's arms very unprofessional. No one could prove that Zhang Yan's move was intentional. Just as no one could prove that this move was unintentional. Miss Heidi showed the unique calmness of the Germans at this moment. After touching Zhang Yan's forehead, Heidi accurately judged: "It is allergic to eat seafood." Then she sent Zhang Yan to the car.

"Well, it's good, District Mayor Liu will experience the European medical system." Although he was still groggy, Zhang Yan still opened a crack and said to Liu Yueru. He had long heard of the high welfare policy from cradle to grave in Nordic Europe. This time he could experience it personally, and he would have a completely different experience than that.

"Yeah, I don't know how many euros you brought, whether it's enough for you to see a doctor." Liu Yueru said neither hated nor said. Heidi next to her was unhappy: "The Belgian government stipulates that everyone enjoys the right to see a doctor and the convenience of the medical treatment. Medical institutions are not commercial institutions and cannot operate in commercial land forms and methods. Medical institutions should be highly public welfare institutions. The government should take out a considerable portion of the local tax paid by taxpayers to solve the medical treatment problems of their citizens.

In Belgium, the medical insurance field consists of two parts: one is the law, namely the Social Security Law. The social security law covers a wide range, one of which is medical care. Two-thirds of the total social security fund comes from government funding. The other is a medical insurance institution whose responsibilities are to implement the Social Security Law. The Social Security Law in Belgium is a law that every citizen must abide by. It is precisely through this law that Belgium can realize that every citizen has the right to see a doctor and the convenience of seeing a doctor.

According to this law, when a young person starts to work and gets his first salary, he must pay the medical insurance fund he should bear, the ratio is about 3.7% of his monthly salary. The payment of medical insurance funds is compulsive. In addition, employers must also bear the social security fund of the employer, including the medical insurance fund, and the payment of this part of the expenses is also compulsive. According to the above payment method, adding up the fees paid by individuals and units to form an individual medical insurance fund."

"Well, if you don't have a unit and support yourself, how do you pay the money?" Zhang Yan asked with his tongue wide.

"According to the Belgian Social Security Law, any individual worker must register and pay a social security fund including medical security fund from the date of obtaining a legal business license issued by the government within 3 months from the day he or she obtains a legal business license issued by the government. This can ensure that individual workers enjoy the right to see a doctor and the convenience of seeing a doctor equally, just like other employed workers. Medical institutions in Belgium are divided into two categories: public and private. Public hospitals are responsible for receiving emergency treatment and hospitalization in addition to receiving emergency treatment and patient hospitalization.

In addition to treatment, it also has to bear the scientific research tasks designated by the state. It is larger in scale, more complete departments, more complete equipment, and more staff. The main function of private hospitals is to receive emergency treatment and patient hospitalization, and the medical equipment is also very advanced. Some private hospitals also carry out some scientific research projects, but they are not the main business. Compared with public hospitals, private hospitals are relatively small in scale and have fewer staff. However, whether it is a public hospital or a private hospital, the requirements for medical staff are the same. Zhang Yan, which one do you want to go to?

"Go to the public hospital. I don't know how to solve the problem of medical separation in Brussels. Do you know the underwater lady?"

Heidi raised her head high: "When you see a doctor, you will first have a diagnosis. If the diagnosis is possible at that time, the prescription will be prescribed. The patient can go to any local pharmacy to buy medicine. After the pharmacy gets the prescription prescribed by the doctor, you must first check the doctor's opening qualification on the computer and confirm that it is correct before you can sell the medicine.

If the doctor is unable to make a diagnosis on the spot or needs more advanced equipment for diagnosis, he will issue a document that requires some kind of diagnosis and transfer the patient to a special examination center for examination. In Belgium, almost most outpatient clinics are undertaken by private doctors. The main responsibility of the hospital is to receive emergency and inpatient treatment. Therefore, visiting outpatient clinics in Belgium requires an appointment. This kind of appointment sometimes takes one or two weeks, so it is better to see a private doctor.

Belgium stipulates that except for the hospitals providing medicines for hospitalization, medical care and medicine are completely separated, and both clinics opened by private doctors and regular hospitals must be followed. Doctors prescribe prescriptions and go to pharmacies to buy medicine. This is a natural thing for Belgians, and the two do not contradict each other.

"Look at how they do it!" Zhang Yan had no time to sigh and fell asleep in a daze. He returned to Abazhou in a daze and implemented this new medical system. Those who did not dare to see a doctor went to see a doctor, and farmers who did not dare to spend money started to spend money...

Three days later, Zhang Yan was discharged from the hospital and the bill was quite cheap. After asking, Zhang Yan realized that the money for treatment was included in the visa fee, so naturally there was no need to pay high fees. In addition, due to the tough attitude of the five major European steel mills, the three major mining groups have already shown a wavering attitude and stated that they can accept the same price as last year.

This is like the two sides fighting, one side showed signs of retreating. Although it cannot be said that the winner has been decided, at least it can be confirmed that the form has begun to move towards the side that is beneficial to the steel company. At the press conference after the negotiations, the representatives of the three major mining groups looked as if they were not in line with the foreword. The representatives of the other major mining companies also looked frustrated. Anyone knows that the mining group has shrunk now, and the price will definitely not be kept.

On the day of the press conference, the stocks of the three major mining groups of Vale, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto fell slightly, while Qcm (Quebec Catyr Mining Company) fell sharply, with the total share capital falling to US$330 million. The three major shareholders of the mining group showed some selling action, which directly led to the continued decline in stock prices.

"Yeah, the acquisition plan is ready now." Zhang Yan turned the cup in his hand and issued an order calmly. On June 10, 2002, Hongxing Steel Plant finally officially announced that it would acquire Rio Tinto shares, which was a kind-hearted acquisition. (When Hunter had reason to believe that the management of the Prey Company would agree to the merger and acquisition, it made friendly acquisition suggestions to the management of the Prey Company. The thorough and kind-hearted acquisition proposal was made privately and confidentially to the Prey Company, and it was not required to be disclosed publicly.) But soon, this kind-hearted acquisition revealed the news and became a hot topic in the stock market. Rio Tinto's stock price also got rid of the sluggishness and rose sharply.

"I knew you would do this for a long time." Zhang Yan smiled terriblely. The last time China Aluminum and Russia suffered a crushing defeat. Let Zhang Yan know the essence of Rio Tinto, which is a profit-oriented enterprise. Such a company does not pay attention to credit. How to use information to achieve its best interests is Rio Tinto's true face.

Zhang Yan can never forget the stupid investment in China Aluminum in February 2008, spending 14 billion US dollars to acquire 9% of Rio Tinto's shares. Zhang Yan didn't want to be such a fool, of course Zhang Yan didn't know that China Aluminum wanted to save the defeat later and proposed to acquire Rio Tinto for 19.5 billion US dollars.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, the amount of Hongxing’s acquisition this time was exactly US$14 billion, acquiring 51% of Rio Tinto’s shares instead of 9% of the shares.

With the uncertain operating prospects of Hongxing Steel Plant, it blatantly borrowed US$14 billion to enter Rio Tinto and acquired Rio Tinto Group's high-quality assets in the UK and Australia. It is said to be the largest overseas investment in China's reform and opening up history! Why did Hongxing dare to make such a heavy move at such a time of crisis?

According to Hongxing's own breeze meeting, Hongxing vaguely released the wind and thought it was an extremely wise transaction.

Because China's steel manufacturing industry cannot control the pricing power of iron ore, it will inevitably be slaughtered by international speculators in the international market. Before being fished, it is determined to forcefully intervene in the battle for control of mines, thereby ending the painful past that cannot be looked back on. This idea is certainly completely correct.

Although the idea is correct, there are still many doubts. The reason why a world-class large enterprise like Hongxing has made such a "tiger power" is that without the support of strong political forces, it is impossible to pass the bill to thaw early. This seems very risky investment, and once Huawei is in a mirage, how should it be treated?

Hongxing Factory's attitude is fearless, and even if it cannot be bought, there will be no loss. If the acquisition is successful, Hongxing may obtain the coveted compensation from Rio Tinto's rich cash flow when the economic prosperity index rebounds rapidly. Hongxing Factory's acquisition plan immediately touched the nerves of the Japanese.

Behind the astronomical bulk transaction of Red Star Factory, is there really no other unspeakable secrets?! BHP Billiton, which has a strong Japanese consortium background, immediately fought with Red Star and proposed a terrible plan to acquire Rio Tinto. It must be said that after being stimulated by Red Star's acquisition, the Japanese could no longer rule out the irrational black factor.
