Chapter 853: Horrible layout means
? After the new century, with the strong rise of China, China has become a veritable "world factory".
The world's largest shipbuilding tonnage, the world's largest cement production, the world's largest chemical fiber production, the world's largest automobile production, the world's largest steel production, and the world's largest mobile phone production......
Although many world No. 1s are preaching the strong rise of China, they are also consuming huge resources.
Who would have thought that in the 1980s and 1990s, when China was still exporting oil to earn foreign exchange, after the new century, its oil consumption would become the world's largest, and its oil import volume would also be the largest in the world?
In the 1980s, it was also claimed to have allowed China to use iron ore for hundreds of years. In the new century, it began to be stretched. As a result, as China’s steel production began to be far ahead of other countries, it even occupied the world’s crude Half of the steel output, the iron ore that could have been used by China for hundreds of years, has also become China's Achilles' heel.
Fortunately, oil. After all, in the Middle East, China can import crude oil from countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, and Angola in Africa can also import a large amount of oil. South America, Russia, and Central Asia have all become China's oil import regions.
No matter how powerful the United States is, he cannot monopolize the world's oil.
But the iron ore really got stuck in Huaxia's neck.
China’s iron ore cannot be said to be small. The key is that China’s iron ore is not strong, with low grade and many impurities. It does not matter if steel is made on a small scale, but once large-scale steel is made, such iron ore can be smelted. The high cost of steel can crumble people.
In desperation, China can only import high-grade iron ore in large quantities abroad.
But there are so many places in the world that produce high-grade iron ore, and they are all controlled by the three major iron ore giants. So these iron ore giants have been tossing Huaxia in recent years, but Huaxia has not yet. The other way is to stare.
Who can let someone pinch your neck!
Japan is also a major importer of iron ore, although not as many as China, but the quantity is also extremely considerable.
But on the other hand, the price of iron ore rises, not only does Japan not lose money, on the contrary, people can make a lot of money. Why? It's very simple, because Japan's four major consortia control many high-quality super iron ore, and even the three major iron ore giants and Japan's four major consortia can deeply influence!
Because whether it is the iron ore Big Three or other inferior iron ore producers, the four major consortiums all occupy a large amount of shares in them!
Among them, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. has the most far-reaching layout.
As we all know, the world's high-quality iron ore production areas are mainly concentrated in the iron four corners of Western Australia and Brazil.
In Western Australia, Japanese companies can be seen almost everywhere. Among Australia’s 24 major iron mines, Japanese companies have invested in 8 major iron ore mines and invested in 16 companies. Even giants such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have been Yue himself penetrated deeply.
In Brazil, Vale is undoubtedly the largest iron ore giant, but for such a giant iron ore producer, Mitsui & Co. also controls 18.4% of the shares.
In Chile, India, and South Africa, as long as it is a place that can produce high-quality iron ore, it is indispensable for me, especially Mitsui.
Therefore, even if the global iron ore price rises, Japan’s own steel companies will reduce their profits due to the increase in iron ore prices. With the increase in iron ore prices, they make a lot of money, and then they will subsidize the profits earned to steel companies in the country!
No matter from which aspect, Japanese steel companies will not lose money.
Iron ore does not increase in price, and Japan's steel companies will benefit. The increase in the price of iron ore will benefit Japan’s four major consortia, which in turn will feed back Japan’s domestic steel companies, and Japan will also benefit.
Therefore, regardless of whether the price of iron ore rises or not, Japan is the one who benefits from it!
Only China suffered.
Yang Jing traveled from the future. Of course, he knew how uncomfortable China was being stuck by those big iron ore giants. In severe cases, it could even affect China's economic fundamentals.
Without this ability before, I can only watch the country suffer huge losses. Now that he has this ability, Yang Jing certainly will not let this situation continue to happen.
Although Yang Jing couldn't do anything before he took over the Dragon Fund in its entirety, this couldn't stop him from starting to make arrangements. Once the layout is completed, when he takes over the Dragon Fund in the future, and cooperates with China's strength, then the situation of China's **** by foreign iron ore giants will be completely changed!
The four major consortiums in Japan have long started to deploy the iron ore industry around the world. Among them, Mitsui & Co. has the deepest and most extensive layout.
As early as the early 1970s, Mitsui & Co. began to deploy in Brazil. At that time, Mitsui & Co. invested in CMM and took 40% of the shares.
Just a few years later, in 2001, Vale was preparing to acquire CMM. As a result, Mitsui & Co. had long been informed that they bought 60% of the voting shares of CMM from the Frering brothers, the grandson of the founder of CMM. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. completely acquired CMM after taking up the 40% of the shares it had previously owned.
After completely acquiring CMM, Mitsui & Co. sold half of its CMM shares to Vale, helping the latter successfully control CMM.
In doing so, Mitsui & Co., on the surface, seems to be helping Vale in vain, but in fact, Mitsui & Co.'s layout is much more than that.
After the success of this cooperation, Mitsui & Co. not only provided products and technologies to Vale, but also actively provided financial assistance to the latter to help the latter expand its business scope. The two sides also have very close personnel exchanges. For example, Mitsui & Co. sent someone to serve as Vale’s account manager and led the Mitsui & Co.’s customer management team based in Brazil to promote various businesses with Vale on site.
Finally, in 2003, Mitsui once again acquired 15% of the Brazilian company Valepar. This company is the parent company that controls Vale!
At the same time, with the help of these 15% shares, Mitsui & Co. finally acquired 18.4% of Valepar.'s shares in one fell swoop, becoming the second largest shareholder after the Brazilian government.
Although CMM is not small in scale, compared to Vale's 18.4% of the shares, it is clear that the value of the latter far exceeds that of the former.
This operation of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is a typical example of small-scale expansion. However, they succeeded.
Mitsui & Co. has done similar operations in India, Chile, South America, and more in Australia.
With such a seemingly ineffective operation, Mitsui & Co. has finally completed its global iron ore layout!
According to the information that Yang Jing obtains from the future, the shares of iron ore producers under the control of Mitsui & Co., on average, are about 8.4% of the shares of iron ore producers in the world!
In other words, just one Mitsui & Co., Ltd. controls almost one-twelfth of the world's iron ore production!
This is definitely a terrifying number, and also a terrifying means of layout!
No wonder people say that I am never afraid of iron ore price increases. Because regardless of the price increase or not, Japan is the ultimate beneficiary!
At present, the layout of the four major consortiums in Japan in terms of iron ore has not yet been finalized, but at this stage, with the arrival of the wave of mergers of the world's mining companies~lightnovelpub.net~ Japan is also accelerating this progress. .
They also know very well that it is obviously a multiplier thing to take advantage of the great merger wave of the world's mining companies to accelerate the layout, so they are also starting to accelerate now.
But what they might not expect is that a financial turmoil that has been brewing for a long time will interrupt this process, and this is a good opportunity for Yang Jing.
The erosion plan was carried out and unfolded secretly, and now it has been carried out almost, and now there is a good opportunity to do a more radical plunder of the previous erosion plan. It's just like making a bun, you need to take a pinch in the end to wrap the bun in the end.
And Yang Jing wanted to take advantage of the Asian financial turmoil that is about to begin next year to get this last pinch. And finally swallowed Japan's iron ore layout carefully prepared for decades!
PS: I would like to bow to thank the "Gentle Knife" for the reward of 100.
