Sumitomo Metal Industries doesn't think that the condition it offered to Haiping Mining Company is like a joke.
Tanaka Kito, the vice president of Sumitomo Metal Industries, is mainly responsible for the procurement department of the company's raw materials, which is naturally a fat job.Every year, Tanaka Kiren imports a large amount of iron ore from Australia, Brazil, and India to meet the production needs of Sumitomo Metal Industries.
The Haiping Mining Company came into his sight by accident.Before that, he had no idea that this mining company from China had actually started selling iron ore to some small and medium-sized steel companies in Japan.
Surprised by this, he severely criticized the relevant department personnel of the company, because these people concluded that according to the current international market price of iron ore, it is impossible for Haiping Mining Company to formally mine it, because in that case Therefore, Haiping Mining Company will only fall into the vicious circle of more production and more losses.Therefore, these people did not pay much attention to this mining company that emerged in Western Australia.Not to mention that the supporting facilities for the export of iron ore in the Carasso mining area have been basically perfected.
But Tanaka Kito, as the core management of Sumitomo Metal Industries, Japan's fourth largest steel company, vaguely knows that several major conglomerates in Japan are secretly actively promoting the price increase of iron ore.
Although it is said that for Japan, a major steel-producing country, almost [-]% of its iron ore comes from overseas, and the promotion of iron ore prices will undoubtedly increase the production costs of enterprises, but Japanese enterprises have been active since the last century. Infiltrate into the world's major mining companies.It owns a considerable proportion of shares in several major mining companies.Promoting the price increase of iron ore will reduce the profit margin of steelmaking enterprises, but they will get rich profits from these mining enterprises.
It seems that the Japanese consortium did not get much profit from the promotion of iron ore prices, but in essence, this is a good move!
In this way, several opponents in the Japanese steel industry can be sniped, especially the two rising stars of China and South Korea.In recent years, the steel industry has developed rapidly and has become a rival that cannot be ignored by the Japanese steel industry.The rise in iron ore prices can increase the production costs of steel companies in various countries and reduce the profit margins they can obtain, thereby ensuring the global competitiveness of the Japanese steel industry.
But Shuren Tanaka knew that this was only a superficial phenomenon. In essence, the Japanese investigation agency came to a conclusion after investigating and analyzing China.Even China's steel industry, after allowing private capital to enter, will expand its production capacity at a high speed in the next few years.In the not-too-distant future, China's steel production is likely to reach an annual output of [-] to [-] million tons!If the annual output is [-] million tons, this is almost the sum of the annual steel output of Japan, the United States, Russia, India, and South Korea!
This number is of course very astonishing.Unbelievable!However, after repeatedly verifying the analysis results, the Japanese investigation agency finally believes that this situation is very likely to happen!
This conclusion makes the decision makers of several major consortiums in Japan feel like a treasure.The quality of Huaxia's iron ore is not high, and it is not easy to mine and the cost is high. This is not an industry secret, so as early as many years ago, Huaxia began to import foreign iron ore.If this survey conclusion can become a reality, it means that Huaxia's steel companies will have to import a large amount of iron ore from overseas.The import volume even exceeds that of Japan!
And in this way, if the Japanese consortium can smoothly promote the sharp rise in international iron ore prices, although the profits of Japanese steel companies will be damaged as a result, the profit dividends they get from these mining companies will be reduced. It is extremely rich, even exceeding the income of the steel industry!More importantly, this is also an important move to curb the rapid development of China's economy and make them pay more for their development!Therefore, in the past two years, the Japanese consortium has further increased the share penetration of the world's major iron ore mining companies.
The Kalaso mining area under the Haiping Mining Company is said to have 20 billion tons of magnetite with a grade of 20.00% five or six. Although the grade is not very good and the reserves are not very large, it has complete supporting facilities. , has already possessed the annual export capacity of [-] million tons of iron ore.This made Tanaka Shuren immediately vigilant.It exports tens of millions of tons of iron ore a year, which is already a considerable amount!
Therefore, Tanaka Shuren immediately sent people to Western Australia to contact Haiping Mining Company, hoping to reach a long-term iron ore import agreement with Haiping Mining Company, and bring this unexpected factor into the normal track.But just now he got the news that the Haiping Mining Company had already rejected the company's proposal.
This made Tanaka Shuren a little surprised. Logically speaking, given the status of Sumitomo Metal Industries in the world industry, and the contract conditions they proposed, which are already quite considerate, the Haiping Mining Company has to think about it before giving an answer. But now it seems that the other party replied without much consideration.
Tanaka Shuren didn't understand that the more it exploited, the more it lost. It actually continued to expand the Kurisban Port.Moreover, it is said that the company will further expand the output of the mining area next year to reach an annual output of [-] million tons of iron ore.If, in [-], if the world iron ore market price did not fluctuate upwards, the output of [-] million tons would be enough to cause Haiping Mining Company to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, so where is the confidence of this Haiping Mining Company?
Could it be that it is because it is an overseas enterprise of Huaxia Pingchuanfang's family?In China, there is a new large-scale iron and steel enterprise called the Liao Province Iron and Steel Works?
Shuren Tanaka still has a very deep understanding of Liao Province Iron and Steel Works, a fast-rising Huaxia private iron and steel plant, because many of its products are in direct competition with Sumitomo Metal Industries.For example, hot-rolled steel strip, cold-rolled steel strip, galvanized steel sheet, seamless steel pipe, electric welded steel pipe, large-diameter steel pipe, welded H-beam, etc.Its annual steel output has reached an astonishing 200 million tons, making it one of the largest steel companies in China.
It's just that the rapid rise of the iron and steel plant in Liao Province is largely due to the fact that behind it, there is a newly discovered coal field and a very close iron mine with good grade, which makes its raw material cost dropped to a very low level.Will Liao Iron and Steel Works give up using domestic iron ore for Haiping Mining Company?
Tanaka Shuren pondered for a long time, and decided to wait and see for a while, the market will be the best teacher, let Haiping Mining Company understand the cruelty of market competition!
Whether to continue to expand production capacity, or temporarily slow down and consolidate the foundation, Fang Mingyuan is now also facing a choice.
The third phase of the project planned by the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant will be completely completed by the end of this year. By then, the annual steel output of the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant will reach 400 million tons.Accounted for nearly 11.00% of the total domestic steel production.The annual output of Haibao Iron and Steel Group Company, a leading enterprise in the domestic steel industry, is only 400 million tons.It can be said that the Liao Province Iron and Steel Works is already one of the out-and-out giants in the Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry.In 50.00 and [-], the production and sales of iron and steel plants in Liao Province can be said to be booming. There is almost no backlog of products, and more than [-]% of the products are exported overseas. The profits are very considerable.
However, regarding the future development direction of the Liaoning Iron and Steel Plant, the management of the plant has different opinions.
Some people, let’s call it expansionists, believe that the domestic market has a very strong consumer demand for steel products. It is estimated that by [-], domestic steel production will exceed [-] million tons, becoming the only one in the world with annual steel production. There are countries with more than [-] million tons, but the domestic demand for steel products will be as high as [-] million tons. It can be said that the gap is very huge.The varieties of these steel products owned by the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant are very popular in both the international market and the domestic market. Therefore, these people believe that the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant should start the fourth phase of the project to further expand steel production.We must occupy as much domestic and international market share as possible!
The other group of people, who may be called conservatives, believe that in less than ten years since the establishment of the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant, it has grown from nothing to an industry with an annual output of more than [-] million tons of steel. For a giant, the speed of development can be said to be quite astonishing.But behind the rapid expansion of production capacity, it also means that many things were made hastily, and many contradictions have accumulated, but it is only because of the rapid development of the factory economy that they have been covered up.Therefore, the factory needs to slow down temporarily, look back, lay a good foundation, and resolve some conflicts, so as to lay a solid foundation for the next rapid expansion of the Liao Province Iron and Steel Factory!If we blindly expand production capacity while ignoring the foundation, once major changes occur in the international and domestic steel markets, the impact on the factory will be difficult to resist.Moreover, this group of people also pointed out that the production capacity of the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant was expanding too fast, and the production capacity of the coal fields and mines responsible for providing it with raw materials and fuels could no longer keep up with the needs of the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant.
Expansionists sneer at the conservatives’ arguments. In their view, this is not a problem at all. The iron and steel plant in Liao Province is not far from the port, and there is also convenient railway transportation. The lack of coal and iron ore can be passed through International market access, like many steel mills along the southeast coast.As for the increased cost of raw materials, the Liao Province Iron and Steel Plant can fully bear the huge profits of its products.
