Vol 2 Chapter 757: For a common cause

() Half of Kuroko's remarks were taught by Qin Hai before he came to Russia, and the other half came from his own perception. His father, Fu Wenbin, was the director of the Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant. After the steel plant closed down, Fu Wenbin was depressed for a long time. Later I heard that Qin Hai took over the Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant, and Fu Wenbin was so happy that he was thinking about it for many days. From his father's performance, Kuroko can appreciate the old man's feelings for the career he once engaged in. He believes that to unlock the heart locks of Gerge Chicory and others, we must start from this perspective.
Sure enough, when he heard Kuroko's words, several old men were silent for a moment. Gergechori gently slaps the table with his fingers and groans; Chudakov silently pours two pots into his mouth; Wagner and Abeguiyan mechanically pick the peanuts on the table into his mouth. give away. The atmosphere on the wine table was a little depressing for a while, and Xie Liaosha felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Gegeqikoli, do you think these words made by Mr. Fu from China make sense? Are you successful or not, can you all say something?" Xie Liaosha impatiently urged.
Don't look at Xie Liaosha who has now become governor. In fact, there are not many cities. What you need for this kind of election is Fudge's ability. Whoever speaks more is more likely to be elected. Xie Liaosha was elected on the basis of his gimmicky personality. He is really not good at such a thing that requires his brain to persuade him now.
"Mr. Fu, do you really intend to mine this iron ore, not just to seal it up?" Gegchori didn't answer Xie Liaosha's question, but asked Kuroko.
"Stored up?" Kuroko stumbled a little. "Why do we keep it up?"
Gegichori said: "Some time ago, several Japanese who were brought by Governor Celjetelli also said they wanted to buy iron ore. But their purpose was not to mine it, but to seal it up . Re-mining in decades. To be precise, they are trying to take advantage of these resources while Russia is now facing economic difficulties. This is unacceptable to us. "
"Why don't they mine now?" Xie Qijin asked.
Chudakov finally lowered the wine bottle and said, "Isn't it obvious? The Dubiago iron ore is dominated by siderite. It also contains a part of limonite, and the ore grade is only 30%. Japanese steel The iron ore purchased by companies from Brazil and Australia can reach more than 60% grade. Most of the steel mills in Japan cannot use the ore of Dubiago iron ore, so they do not plan to mine this iron ore. "
"Chudakov turned out to be the deputy chief engineer of our iron mine." Gergechori gave a presentation to everyone to explain why Chudakov knew these situations.
"But if they don't plan to mine, why should they buy it?" Xie Qijin still had some trouble understanding.
Wagner answered this question, saying: "This is because the Japanese want to think long-term. They bought the mine. It is sealed. Once there is a new breakthrough in technology, or there is a problem with international iron ore supply , They can open the mine at any time. "
"After all, the price of our mine is too cheap, and even if they buy it and store it, there is not much loss." Abegyan added unhappyly.
"Can I ask, what is your offer for this iron ore?" Heizi asked.
The four old men set their sights on Xie Liaosha. Xie Liaosha was a little flustered and said, "Iron mine is a resource in Chita State, so the price is determined by the state council. I was just an executor. At that time China Friends have not yet come. There is only one buyer in Japan, so the price may indeed be slightly lower. "
"So, how much is it?" Kuroko asked.
Xie Liaosha said: "At that time, the state council reported that the purchase price was 80 million U.S. dollars. The Japanese felt that the price was a bit high and said that they could only pay 50 million U.S. dollars. However, the price has not yet been negotiated. This matter was rejected. "
"80 million US dollars, it's not too low." Kuroko said to himself.
"What did he say?" Chudakov asked Xie Qijin when he saw that Xie Qijin did not translate the sunspot.
"Oh, he said that $ 80 million is not low." Xie Qijin said.
"This is a large mine with a theoretical potential of 1 billion tons." Chudakov said, but his tone was not that tough. Because as a mining engineer, he also knew the flaws in the Dubiago iron mine.
"The grade of the Dubiago iron ore is too low. Moreover, the ore has a high phosphorus content, which is not conducive to smelting. Also, the mining area is in an alpine zone, and the difficulty of mining is also very large. The price of such an iron ore is 80 million US dollars, which is indeed not considered Low. "Kuroko said calmly.
The purpose of their trip was to win the Dubiago iron ore. How could sunspots have not done related homework in advance? Winning the mining right of this iron ore is only the first step of iron ore mining. The next step requires a lot of infrastructure construction, and the investment may reach hundreds of millions of dollars. Song Hongxuan organized mining experts to use second-hand data to carry out calculations. It is estimated that after the Dubiago iron ore is put into operation, the mining cost per ton of iron ore will be as high as more than US $ 40. In addition, the transportation cost will even increase by 70% compared to the import from Brazil Ore is even more expensive. It can be said that the acquisition and development of Dubiago iron ore is totally uneconomical, which also determines that the mining right of Dubiago iron ore cannot be sold at a higher price.
However, due to the extremely high development cost, Qin Hai still intends to take this iron ore into the pocket and conduct preliminary development. Its only purpose is to break the blockade of Vale and force Vale to bow its head.
From the perspective of Vale, they believe that China is carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction, so the demand for steel is rigid and cannot be reduced, which in turn determines that the import of iron ore is necessary. Vale holds the lifeblood of China's iron ore supply. It can be raised as much as you want, regardless of how the Chinese think.
Of course, not only Brazil and Australia produce iron ore in this world, there are abundant iron ore in Africa, South Asia, the Far East and other places, and China also has many iron ore. However, the mining cost of all of these iron ore is very high. Rationally, instead of mining these iron ore, it is better to accept the price increase requirements of Vale.
Vale also made such calculations before dare to open the conditions for a 70% price increase. In their opinion, even if the price has risen by 70%, they still have a price advantage, and there is no need to worry about Chinese steel companies not accepting it.
However, they never expected that their negotiating opponent was a person who was never willing to be held hostage by others. Qin Hai is convinced that Vale and BHP Billiton also have their own pain and are not fearless. As long as the Chinese steel companies dare to put up a desperate frame, the other side will definitely give in.
It would be better to pay higher costs to mine the Dubiago iron ore than to accept Vale's price increase requirements. This is how Qin Hai showed his determination. Although he will not necessarily develop the Dubiago iron ore in the end in the end, but the momentum must be pretended, and only in this way can Vale and BHP be bluffed.
Hezi naturally understands this set of plans, but he will not reveal them in front of Gege Chikri and others. He just pointed out the flaws in the Dubiago iron ore, and waited for the response from Gergechori and others.
"You're right." Chudakov nodded. "Why are you buying Dubiago Iron Ore if that's the case?"
"We need a supply of iron ore that we can control at our disposal," Kuroko said. "We plan to spend $ 2 billion to develop the Dubiago iron mine. We will use the latest open-pit mining technology to extend the mining season and ensure that In the early winter, it will not stop due to the cold. In addition, we will build a large-scale beneficiation plant and pellet sintering plant near the iron mine, with an annual capacity of more than 50 million tons. If these projects can be put into production, you can imagine Just look at what Chita will look like. "
"What you said is true?" Abegyan asked.
Kuroko smiled slightly, took out a stack of drawings from his bag, and handed it to Abejiyan, saying, "Before I set off, our group's technical staff has made a preliminary plan for the development of the iron ore. You guys can Look at the blueprint. "
"blueprint?"
The old men exchanged their gazes, and then all came to Abejiyan's side and began to look at the drawings that the sunspots gave them. Chudakov is a mining engineer, and his ability to see pictures is better than others. He pointed at the signs on the map with his fingers and explained to several partners. The more they listened, the more excited they became.
"So, do you really want to develop this iron ore?" Gergechori asked.
Kuroko said: "It's here ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Is the director of Gegechikoli still thinking I'm kidding?"
"So, where do you plan to use the workers to build this mine?" Gergechori asked again.
This is another sensitive issue. The sunspots were prepared and calmly replied, "We will send a group of engineers from China, and we will also send some workers to participate in the construction. But the main construction work and future mining work, We prefer to use local workers in Chita. Given your knowledge of the Dubiago iron mine, our group hopes to hire you as a mine consultant to help us better develop this mine. "
"If that's the case, that's great!" Said Gegchori. "As long as you can fulfill this promise, we will support your work."
"No, it should be said to support our common cause." Kuroko corrected with a smile.
"Yes, to our common cause, toast!" Gergechori lifted the bottle and said loudly. (To be continued)
