The rise of nanometers

Charles, with his face in his hands, slumped on the sofa like a zombie.

Ma Tichen, Juan and others, who were saddened by the death of the rabbit and the fox, also felt extremely heavy.

The weather outside was gloomy, with thick cumulonimbus clouds, and electric snakes poked out from time to time. After a while, amid lightning and thunder, a heavy downpour came as expected.

The winds from east to west, north and south, mixed with raindrops, hit the glass windows. The heat of midsummer was instantly washed away, along with the noise and dust of the world, were washed away by the rain.

There is a strong sense of gap between the deserted streets and the bustling crowds in the Dalian Ore Exchange.

Several traders in the trading seats discovered that the price of pure iron sintered sand rose rapidly after receiving the news of BHP Billiton's bankruptcy protection.

"Hey, Mr. Li, want to purchase 500,000 tons of iron sand?"

"The current price is 1836 yuan..."

"Buy it, and you can eat as much as you want within two thousand."

Several traders held their phones between their hands while their hands were flying on the keyboard. On the futures trading page of the computer, the price of iron sand soared, once approaching the 2,000 yuan per ton mark.

Since the market opened in the morning, many people have been operating or making hurried calls.

In the general manager's office on the top floor, Li Hongwen was not surprised by the market's reaction. The enemy began to fall, which proved that the era when Blue Star Mining and other companies wanted to dominate the global ore market was coming.

The previous price of iron sand was obviously on the low side. According to market assessments by various financial institutions, the price of iron sand should be 2,200 to 2,800 yuan per ton, which is the normal market price.

Many financial institutions began to use backdoor schemes to acquire futures on the market. They were betting that after the collapse of BHP Billiton and others, companies such as Blue Star Mining would increase the price of iron sand.

Song Shijia, who was firmly in Diaoyutai, and the CEOs of several other mining groups said with a smile:

"The Peach Blossom Fan says: Watch him build a vermillion tower, watch him entertain guests, watch his tower collapse. Nothing better than this."

These words are talking not only about BHP Billiton and the others, but also about those financial speculators.

Luo Tuo shook his head and said: "BHP Billiton's building has collapsed. I don't know how long Rio Tinto, Vale and FMG can sustain it."

"It's almost time to close the net." Song Shijia took out a document, which was the plan they had made before.

When talking about this matter, the vice president of Minmetals Group on the side became a little worried: "Chinalco's merger with Rio Tinto was blocked by Australia before. This time the other party may repeat the same tricks."

Song Shijia was very calm: "Today is different from the past. They can stop it, and we can also kill them. A second-rate guy who relies on ores and agricultural products, does he still think he is some fresh radish skin?"

In fact, the situation this time is indeed different from the last time Chinalco merged with Rio Tinto.

At that time, Chinalco had only banknotes and only one market card that could be played a dozen times.

The current six major mining groups hold the world's largest and most complete ore production volume and the lowest ore costs in the world. They are also backed by the world's largest metal smelting market and industrial country.

With a hand of king bomb, how can I lose?

It is basically invincible. Even if there is no way to acquire it, the mining alliance can lock down Australian mining companies.

"They will agree. If they don't agree, we can bring down BHP Billiton, and we can bring down other mining industries." Song Shijia's eyes flashed with cold eyes.

As the new chairman of the Mining Association, Luo Tuo has also participated in the formulation of the mining alliance's strategic plan.

In fact, if you want to bring down other mining companies, you can just use the ABCD's three axes.

The first step is to raise the price of ore and induce the other party to expand production capacity. To expand production capacity, you must purchase equipment, build infrastructure, hire workers, etc.

When the other party starts production, it will fall back from a high level, turning ore production into an unprofitable business.

After a large investment, the market price plummets before making a profit. Under this impact, many companies will directly break their capital chain. If the debt ratio is too high, they will even go bankrupt.

Enterprises in the capital world are different from domestic enterprises. Unless they obtain special protection, it will be difficult for them to survive.

Although this set of methods is simple, when the market, raw materials, and processing are all at the core, it can basically cause a fatal blow to all industries.

This is also ABCD, the tried-and-tested trick of these international grain groups. Except for several failures in China, in the world of capital, few companies and regions can withstand their impact.

The day after BHP Billiton filed for bankruptcy protection, the negotiation teams of Rio Tinto, Vale, and Fortescue once again asked to see Li Hongwen.

This time Li Hongwen did not refuse.

After more than half a year, the two sides met again at the negotiating table.

At this time, BHP Billiton, the international mining companies that were still very stubborn at the time, collapsed, leaving only Rio Tinto, Vale and Fortescue.

Luo Tuo, who represented the Mining Alliance, crossed his fingers and asked with a smile:

"Everyone, what are you going to talk about today? Let me first declare one thing. If we cannot reach an agreement in this negotiation, you don't need to come again."

As soon as Luo Tuo came up, he showed off his power.

Under such extreme pressure, Rio Tinto's commercial representative Ma Tichen suppressed the aggrievedness and anger in his heart and replied with a dry smile:

"This time we are here for win-win cooperation between both parties. We hope to reach an agreement with you on various ores."

Juan on the side also echoed.

Luo Tuo, who was smiling but not smiling, glanced at the aggrieved Ma Tichen and Juan, and pushed a document over.

Ma Tichen, who was in a hurry, couldn't wait to look through the documents. The first time he opened it, the word acquisition offer stung his heart.

Vale and FMG also received their respective acquisition offer contracts, and Juan's expression suddenly changed several times.

The harsh conditions of the Mining Alliance were actually within their expectations.

It's just that the proportion of shares acquired and the price of the shares are a bit difficult for them to accept.

67 Huayuan's acquisition of 67% of the shares is simply humiliating them.

You read that right, not 6.7 billion yuan, but 6.7 Chinese yuan.

Juan clenched his fists and said with gritted teeth: "Your acquisition ratio is too large and the price is too low. It is difficult for our company to accept this kind of contract."

"Haha..." Song Shijia asked with a smile: "How much money are you losing every day now, plus the loan interest, even if you don't lose 100 million, you will lose at least tens of millions of meters."

Song Shijia did not give them a chance to refute, and continued to ask: "Excuse me, which company in the world has the ability to take over your company?"

"..." Juan, Ma Tichen and others suddenly fell silent.

Luo Tuo opened the multimedia with a smile and projected the losses and debt ratios of Rio Tinto, Vale and Fortescue on the screen.

"Acquiring your company also means that we have to bear your debts, so think about it carefully!"

Ma Dichen knew that he could not make the decision: "I'm very sorry, I need to communicate with the headquarters."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you have one afternoon. We will be here before the sun goes down." Luo Tuo made an inviting gesture.

Hearing this, Ma Tichen and others showed a smile that was uglier than crying. It was already three-thirty in the afternoon, and there were only two and a half hours left before the sun went down.

Hurrying to the conference room, Mathison reported the negotiation status to the Melbourne headquarters.

Thank you for your support, (ω｀) I will update a chapter first!
