After all, iron and steel is the industrial base of a country, and iron ore resources are strategic resources when they are larger.
Rabbit Country has found a stable supply channel for iron ore, and it has solved more than 20% of the demand at once, which is enough to affect the strategic layout of resources in many countries!
Therefore, it has become the consensus of all countries to find the mysterious iron ore supplier behind the scenes. Not only the kangaroo country, but other countries including the United States, Neon, Maobear, Europa and other countries are paying close attention to this matter.
After the kangaroo country was returned by the rabbit, although the officials of various countries did not have any fun, but the secret intelligence department has fully started to investigate this matter.
As the second important force in the incident, and the only agent of the mysterious supplier, the Chu Group, soon came into their sight!
Then they found out that the Chu family had been protected by the Rabbit Army, the Chu family's office building had been fully militarized, and even the Chu family's mother and daughter's villas were closely guarded 24 hours a day.
The external reason is that the Chu Group is a national military industrial enterprise and involves national military secrets!
Needless to say, this is a precautionary measure to prevent other countries from starting from the Chu family and finding clues about Captain Ghost. For Rabbit, as a high-quality ally like Captain Ghost, Zhonglele can't compare to Dulele!
Although various countries could not access the core executives of the Chu Group, the public information of the Chu Group was quickly excavated.
At first glance, this is a very ordinary small private enterprise! That's right, in the eyes of national-level forces, this is definitely a small enterprise that can't be smaller! Even the third-rate chaebols in the United States can't compare!
And it is such a company that has become a star military enterprise in just a few months. Now it has close relations with the military, and the size and strength of the group have suddenly expanded several times. This is very unusual!
There is evidence that they played a very important role in this iron ore trade!
Otherwise, there is no reason why the rabbit would let such an inconspicuous group company participate in such an important trade link!
As a result, various countries began to conduct in-depth investigations against the Chu family!
At the same time, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, FMG and Brazil's Vale, as the four mining giants most affected by the incident, immediately held a secret video conference to discuss the response to the incident.
"What the hell is going on here! Where did they come from?!" Rio Tinto's president slapped the table hard and scolded.
"Don't get excited, it's not the first time we've had a fight with rabbits, and they haven't been disheartened by us!" The president of BHP Billiton, an old man with white hair and beard, took a sip of Biluochun and said in a hurry.
The president of Vale glanced at the slow-moving old man in the video, "I want to remind everyone that this rabbit's movements are beyond our imagination!
Although the specific supply quantity of this mysterious supplier is still unknown to the outside world, it is speculated from the public data that it is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than 20 million tons per month!
That is to say, the demand for our iron ore dropped by more than 20% all at once! What this means, I think everyone should understand!
Previously, it was because we did not pay enough attention to the information about Baowu Iron and Steel Group's reduction in procurement, so we have only now realized how badly the price of iron ore futures market has fallen today, I think everyone knows it? "
The old man's hand holding the tea froze slightly, he slowly put down the teacup and frowned.
The president of FMG looked at the people present and kept a low profile and did not take the initiative to speak.
FMG was established in 2003. Since its establishment, it has continuously expanded its scale with its strong financial strength and very successful business operations, and has become a new heavyweight company in the mining industry of Kangaroo Country with an amazing development speed.
But for the three established companies, such a fledgling rookie is still very unwelcome!
Of course, as a resource monopoly conglomerate, the four giants will still unhesitatingly agree to the outside world when their interests are the same. For example, the four giants have their own tacit understanding!
"That's right! We Rio Tinto have suffered heavy losses due to the violent turmoil in iron ore prices, and now many domestic suppliers have cut their purchases and adopted a wait-and-see attitude. If the situation continues, the price of iron ore will be very high. It may continue to fall!" Rio Tinto's president said bitterly.
Seeing that everyone was silent for a moment, the president of FMG finally spoke at this time, "Let me mention one point, you should have noticed that this batch of iron ore is not only huge in quantity, but also the price is 10% lower than the market price!
This means that the mining cost of the other party may be very close to ours, or even lower than ours! Technically, we have no advantage! "
The other three frowned! This means that the other party has the ability to fight a price war with them!
"Well! I think the key now is to find out the source of this batch of iron ore!
The world's iron ore capacity is there, and such a large amount of resources cannot be created out of thin air! Besides the four of us, who else can take out so much iron ore at once? "The old man narrowed his eyes.
The other three raised their brows slightly!
What does it mean? Do you suspect that we have an inner ghost
However, his words are not the thoughts in their own hearts. It is impossible for such a large iron ore capacity to appear suddenly. Investment and mining require a process and time. Such a large scale can never be hidden!
"Hey! Are you saying that? We have been cooperating for so many years and have always been a community of interests. All of you here are old friends for many years!
I believe that no one will be short-sighted enough to take the initiative to break this resource monopoly for the sake of immediate interests, which is not good for anyone! I dare to use my integrity to guarantee that the few people here will definitely not be the kind of duplicitous people! When the president of Rio Tinto heard this, he immediately patted his chest to guarantee everyone!
The other two nodded their heads, feeling that what the president of Rio Tinto said was really eloquent, with a heart and mind that was compared with the old man! Judgment!
The old man was a little embarrassed to hear that.
"Cough cough! That's right, I made a blunder! It's pointless to speculate like this now, I propose to do my best to find the source of this batch of resources!
At the same time, the four of us must unite the front, and we will never let go and cut prices externally. We will accumulate excess ore and temporarily reduce our shipments. In this case, we should be able to maintain the ore price for a period of time! Wait until the situation becomes clear before making plans! "
"Okay! I agree!"
"Seconded!"
…
After closing the video communication, the president of Rio Tinto immediately said to the secretary who had been standing beside him: "You heard it! You immediately send someone to the port of Rabbit to track the source of the goods, focus on tracking their transport ships, and find out this batch of iron. Where did the mine come from!"
"Yes! This subordinate understands!"
Then I listened to him continue: "In addition, go and investigate the recent shipments of the other three companies, especially the mining volume and shipment volume of their mines, and see if there are a large number of sources whose whereabouts are unknown!"
secretary:"… "
What about your manners
