The Great Power of Times

Chapter 405: Seeds of the Li family

Views:

As soon as Space-X2000 came out, it attracted much attention and achieved success. Therefore, Li Zetian decided to build a Space-X2000 large-scale production plant in North America and Asia, and use Robot-X's automated and intelligent industrial robots on a large scale!

Labor costs have always been one of the biggest costs for enterprises. Using robots to replace them can save costs and increase production efficiency.

After 10 or 20 years of development, Robot-X has always had a leading market share in the global robot market and is the undisputed industry leader.

Robot-X is the world's most influential and technologically advanced robot and its system supplier!

Moreover, the Robot-X factory has even realized full robot operations, that is, robots are used to produce robots! ! ! At present, in addition to Robot-X, only Japan's FANUC has such strength.

Building a factory, again using its own manufacturing equipment, saves another sum of money.

Li Zetian likes this model very much!

More than ten days later, Dongfang Yuqin took a document to Li Zetian, which contained the information of Space-X's new factory.

After reading it, Li Zetian felt that there was no problem, and put the document on the table.

Immediately, Li Zetian said: "Satellites, rockets, planes, robots, arms and weapons all require a lot of metal. I think it is necessary for us to buy some mines and steel plants! The raw materials are dug by ourselves, refined by ourselves, processed by ourselves, and the entire industry will be transformed by ourselves. The chain is all included. In addition to the fertilizer and water not flowing to the outside world, it can also make money!!”

"Yuqin, we have sufficient funds now, you can ask someone to collect information on mines and steel mills around the world."

"OK, all right."

With the development of the Cronos industry, the demand for steel is naturally increasing. It is not that Li Zetian is greedy, but doing so is beneficial to the development of the company.

Just collect the information, and it will be done soon.

The first is the global mining giant:

NO.1, Brazil's Vale is the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter, as well as the largest mining company in the Americas, known as Brazil's "jewel in the crown" and "the engine of the Amazon".

NO.2, BHP Billiton is the world's largest mining company with production bases in 25 countries around the world. At the same time, BHP Billiton is also one of the world's top three iron ore suppliers, one of the world's largest thermal coal production and sales companies, one of the world's largest seaborne coking coal suppliers, one of the world's seven largest primary aluminum producers, and the world's largest One of the copper, silver, lead and uranium producers.

NO.3, Rio Tinto Group is one of the world's largest suppliers of resource mining and mineral products, the world's second largest iron ore producer, and a global leader in the exploration, mining and processing of mineral resources. Its main products include aluminum, Copper, diamonds, energy products, gold, industrial minerals and iron ore, etc.

NO.4, Glencore was mainly engaged in the physical marketing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals at the beginning of its establishment, and soon expanded to the fields of minerals, crude oil and petroleum products, and later involved in energy products such as coal. Its business scope covers production, procurement, processing, smelting, transportation, storage, financing, supply of metals and minerals, energy products and agricultural products.

When Li Zetian saw Glencore, his eyes couldn't help but flash a gleam. Li Zetian once remembered that the boss behind Glencore once invited Li Zetian to join Glencore. This person is notorious and is one of the most wanted people in the United States. Therefore, in order to avoid too much contact with him, Li Zetian did not join Glencore.

"Forget Glencore. Of the other three companies, which one do you think we should acquire?" Li Zetian looked at Dongfang Yuqin.

Dongfang Yuqin thought about it and said, "Vale!"

"Okay, then let's do it!!!" Li Zetian said firmly.

"As for the iron and steel company, what do you think?" Li Zetian asked while continuing to look at the documents.

Dongfang Yuqin said: "Our factories are mainly in the United States, so I propose to acquire American steel companies. Among the top ten steel companies in the world, the United States accounts for 2 seats, one is United States Steel Corporation and the other is Newco Steel. company."

"U.S. Steel Corporation has a long history. Founded in 1901, it is the largest steel monopoly multinational company in the United States. It was formed by the merger of more than a dozen companies including the steel kings Carnegie Steel Company and United Steel Company. It once controlled 65% of U.S. steel production. , relying on its strong economic strength to monopolize the U.S. steel market and source of raw materials."

"If we want to acquire U.S. Steel, it will be difficult! Even the U.S. judicial department will intervene. After all, we are still Chinese..."

"Apart from U.S. Steel, Nucor Steel deserves more attention."

"Newco Steel Company?" Li Zetian quickly found the company's information.

I don't know if I don't read it. After reading the information, Li Zetian couldn't help being shocked.

Dongfang Yuqin said: "Newco Steel can be said to be a dark horse in the US steel industry!!!"

"As we all know, the steel industry was originally a highly capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry, with high barriers to entry, and it was difficult for ordinary companies to break in. A dark horse in the competition rules of the U.S. steel industry!"

"In 1954, Nucor Steel was just a small steel mill, but it focused on steelmaking by recycling scrap steel. In just a dozen years, Nucor has achieved great success! For decades, Newco Steel's annual steel production scale increased from 1.38 million tons in 1972 to 19 million tons, a 138-fold increase; annual sales revenue rose from US$83.58 million to US$11.38 billion in 2000, 136 times that of 1972; Annual net profit rose from $4.67 million to $1.122 billion in 2000, 240 times that of 1972!”

"I think Newco Steel is unstoppable and has more growth potential than U.S. Steel. Right now, Newco is still a little behind U.S. Steel, and this is our opportunity to acquire it!"

As soon as Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking, Li Zetian nodded and said, "Well, you are right, Newco Steel is indeed the most suitable target!"

"Then I'll make arrangements now to have someone make a takeover offer to Brazil's Vale and Nucor Steel!!" Dongfang Yuqin said.

"Um."

Dongfang Yuqin picked up the phone and started giving orders. The bright sunlight shone through the windows and warmed the whole body. Li Zetian stretched, leaned his head back on the chair, and rested for a while.

"The sun is out, and the weather is getting warmer!"

Li Zetian looked at Dongfang Yuqin, a look of exhaustion was written on that gorgeous face. Li Zetian sighed slightly, feeling deeply distressed. When Dongfang Yuqin finished the call, Li Zetian stood up, walked behind her, stroked her long blue hair, and said softly, "Yuqin, I think you've been busy lately. , why don't you take a vacation, relax for a while, and leave the work to your subordinates!"

Dongfang Yuqin said with a wry smile: "There is no way, the Asian financial crisis and the Internet economic crisis are coming one after another, and it is really too busy. In addition, during the winter of the Internet, we have to take the opportunity to buy back those shares at a low price."

"Let others do it, you don't have to do it yourself."

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and smiled at Li Zetian: "Okay, I understand."

"Really know?"

"real!"

Dongfang Yuqin said so, but Li Zetian knew that she couldn't be idle at all.

"Yuqin, are you willing to give me a child?" Li Zetian put his mouth to Dongfang Yuqin's ear and suddenly asked softly. In this way, when Dongfang Yuqin has a child, she will have sustenance and the company of her child, so she can let go of her work. As Li Zetian's assistant, it was very tiring, and Li Zetian didn't want his woman to be so tired all the time.

Dongfang Yuqin was stunned when she heard the words, her eyes turned red, tears could not help flowing out, and her voice choked: "I'm willing~~~"

Li Zetian kissed her cheek with a bright smile on his face.

After so many years, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu's children are almost grown up. Dongfang Yuqin has no children yet, so it must be a lie to say that she is not sad. Although Li Zetian could not give Dongfang Yuqin in terms of status, he could give her a child. Marriage is nothing but a piece of paper.

As long as it is the seed of Li Zetian, it will be the descendant of the Li family from now on! ! !
