After the new century, with the strong rise of Huaxia, Huaxia has also become a veritable "world factory".The world's largest shipbuilding tonnage, the world's largest cement output, the world's largest chemical fiber output, the world's largest automobile output, the world's largest steel output, the world's largest mobile phone output, and the world's largest mobile phone output are certainly promoting the strong rise of China, but at the same time, it is also consuming huge resources.Who would have thought that after the 80s and 90s, when China was still exporting oil to earn foreign exchange, it would become the world's largest in oil consumption and the world's largest in oil imports after the new century?
In the 80s, it was also claimed that the iron ore that could be used by China for hundreds of years began to be stretched in the new century, and as a result, as China's steel output began to be far ahead of other countries, and even accounted for half of the world's crude steel production, the iron ore that could have allowed China to "use for hundreds of years" has also become China's Achilles heel.After all, in the Middle East, China can import crude oil from Saudi Arabia and Iran, and Angola in Africa can also import a large amount of oil.No matter how strong the United States is, it will not be able to monopolize the world's oil.But the iron ore really stuck Huaxia's neck.China's iron ore can not be said to be less, the key is that China's iron ore is not powerful, low grade, impurities, if small-scale steelmaking does not matter, but once large-scale steelmaking, the high cost of steel smelted with such iron ore can make people collapse.In desperation, Huaxia could only import high-grade iron ore in large quantities abroad.But there are so many places in the world that produce high-grade iron ore, and all of them are controlled by the three major iron ore giants, so these iron ore giants have tossed Huaxia a lot over the years, but Huaxia has no other way but to stare dryly.Who let the family pinch your neck!
It is also a big importer of iron ore, although not as much as Huaxia, but the amount is also extremely considerable.But on the contrary, the price of iron ore has risen, and not only does he not lose money, but on the contrary, he can make a lot of money.Why?
It's very simple, because the four major consortia of Yuben control a lot of high-quality super iron ore, and even the three major iron ore giants, the four major consortia of Yuben can be deeply influenced!
Because whether it is the iron ore big three or other second-class iron ore producers, the four major consortia occupy a large number of shares in it!
Among them, the most far-reaching layout is Mitsui & Co.As we all know, the world's high-quality iron ore production is mainly concentrated in Western Australia and Brazil's Iron Four Corners.In Western Australia, the company can be seen almost everywhere, in Australia's 24 major iron mines, the company focuses on investing in 8, 16 shares, and even including giants such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, have been deeply infiltrated by the company.Vale is undoubtedly the largest iron ore giant in Brazil, but Mitsui & Co. controls 184 of the iron ore producers.In Chile, India, and South Africa, as long as there is a place that can produce high-quality iron ore, it is indispensable to say that I am especially Mitsui & Co.Therefore, even if the global iron ore price rises, my iron and steel companies will reduce their profits because of the rise in iron ore prices, but they can't stand up to a chaebol like Mitsui & Co., who holds a large number of shares in iron ore producers, and can take advantage of the increase in iron ore prices to make a big profit, and then people will subsidize the profits earned to steel companies in China!
In any way, the steel companies will not lose money.The price of iron ore does not rise, and the iron and steel enterprises of this capital benefit.The price of iron ore has risen, and the four major consortia have benefited, which in turn will feed back to the domestic iron and steel enterprises, and I will also benefit.Therefore, regardless of whether the price of iron ore rises or not, I am the one who benefits!
Only China suffered.Yang Jing has crossed over from the future, and of course he knows how uncomfortable it is for Huaxia to be stuck by those iron ore giants, and when it is serious, it can even affect Huaxia's economic fundamentals.In the past, I didn't have this ability, so I could only watch the country suffer huge losses.Now that he has this ability, Yang Jing will certainly not let this situation continue to happen.Although Yang Jing can't do anything before he takes over the Evil Dragon Fund completely, this can't stop him from starting the layout from now on.Once the layout is completed, then when he takes over the evil dragon fund in the future, and then cooperates with the strength of Huaxia, then the situation of Huaxia being slaughtered by foreign iron ore giants will be completely changed!
The four major consortia have long been involved in the iron ore industry around the world, among which Mitsui & Co. has the deepest and most extensive layout.As early as the early 70s of the last century, Mitsui & Co. began to deploy in Brazil.At that time, Mitsui & Co. invested in the company and held 40% of the shares.Just a few years later, in 2001, Vale was preparing to buy it, but Mitsui & Co. had already gotten the news that they bought 60 of the company's voting shares from the founder's grandson, the Freg brothers, plus the 40 shares they already owned, and Mitsui & Co. completely acquired it.After Mitsui & Co.'
s complete acquisition, it sold half of its shares to Vale, helping the latter to take control.On the surface, Mitsui & Co. is helping Vale in vain, but in fact, Mitsui & Co. has much more to say.Following the success of this partnership, Mitsui & Co. not only provided products and technologies to Vale, but also actively provided financial assistance to the latter to help the latter expand its business scope.At the same time, there is a very close personnel exchange between the two sides.For example, Mitsui & Co. appointed someone to serve as Vale's account manager, leading Mitsui & Co.'
s account management team to be based in Brazil to promote various businesses with Vale on site.Finally, in 2003, Mitsui once again took a stake in Valeparsa, the parent company that controls Vale!
At the same time, Mitsui & Co., with the help of these 15 shares, eventually acquired the shares of Valeparsa 184 in one fell swoop, becoming the second largest shareholder after the Brazilian government.Although the company is not small, it is clear that the latter is much more valuable than Vale 184's shares.Mitsui & Co.'
s operation is a typical example of small and big, but on the contrary, people have succeeded.Mitsui & Co. has done similar operations in India, Chile, South America, and more in Australia.Mitsui & Co. relied on such a seemingly ineffective operation with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and finally completed the global iron ore layout!
According to the information that Yang Jing obtained from the future, the shares of the iron ore producers controlled by Mitsui & Co., both openly and covertly, are on average about 84% of the shares of the world's iron ore producers!
In other words, just one Mitsui & Co. controls almost one-twelfth of the world's iron ore production!
This is definitely an extremely terrifying number, and it is also an extremely terrifying layout method!
It is no wonder that people say that I have never been afraid of the rise in iron ore prices.Because no matter whether the price increases or not, I am the ultimate beneficiary!
At present, the layout of the four major consortia in iron ore has not yet been finalized, but at this stage, with the arrival of the wave of mergers of the world's mining companies, he is also accelerating this progress.They are also very clear that taking advantage of the arrival of the wave of mergers of the world's mining companies to speed up the layout is obviously a matter of twice the result with half the effort, so they have now begun to accelerate.It's just that what they probably didn't expect was that a financial turmoil that had been brewing for a long time would interrupt this process, and this was Yang Jing's good opportunity.The erosion plan was carried out in the shadows, and now that it is almost done, there is now a good opportunity to carry out a more radical raid on the previous erosion plan.It's like wrapping buns, you need to take a pinch in the end to wrap the buns.And Yang Jing wants to take advantage of the Asian financial turmoil that will start next year to get this last handful.And finally swallowed the iron ore layout that has been carefully prepared for decades in one gulp!
