Rio Tinto Group has been planning to win Australia Northern Mining Company for a long time, and it is impossible to give up easily. Henry's intervention caught them off guard. This kind of disruption has also greatly increased the cost of the acquisition.

　　 After some consideration by the board of directors of Rio Tinto Group, it was reluctant to increase the purchase price to US$205 million. However, Henry immediately followed and offered US$2.1 billion, which was bound to win for Australia Northern Mining Company!

　　Australian Northern Mining Corporation is one of the world's largest mining companies, especially in Australia with a large number of iron ore mines.

　　 The production costs of large Australian mining companies are relatively low, and their iron ore has always been favored by investors for its high quality. Among the various production areas in the world, Australia’s cost is the lowest category. The mining cost of large-scale mines is US$30/ton, while the mining costs in countries with a large number of lean ore such as China and Vietnam are relatively high. China’s ore mining costs are in the lowest category. About 13o USD/ton. This is why one Australia can support the world's two largest mining giants!

　　 The reason why Rio Tinto Group became the world's second largest mining giant is because it acquired the Northern Mining Company of Australia, so Henry will not give it this opportunity. The previous BHP Billiton has already been acquired by Henry. If he acquires the Northern Mining Company of Australia, his strength is unparalleled, and the pricing power can be completely controlled by himself. In order to obtain cheap minerals, countless countries or companies have to show their favor to Henry!

　　 If Henry raises the price of iron ore, the world economy will tremble! Because all industries that need to use steel and related industries will be greatly affected!

　　 Faced with Henry's aggressiveness, Rio Tinto finally returned home.

　　 After Henry acquired the Northern Mining Company of Australia, he immediately merged into the Williams Mining Group. In just a few months, the most powerful mining company in history was born, which made countries around the world bemoaned. The major consortium families have witnessed Henry's rise and can only sigh with excitement. Most of them only value finance and ignore the development of science and technology. Coupled with Henry's foresight, they used the Japanese financial bubble, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Asian financial crisis and other opportunities to rise to an astonishing degree that is unimaginable. It was so powerful, even if he wanted to stop him later, it was only a futile call. And as Henry's influence became stronger and stronger, the major consortia could only evade his edge temporarily, and did not dare to resist him!

　　 Now, these consortia can only make small moves behind their backs, and there are only a handful of people who dare to openly challenge Henry. Some people say that the Williams family has grown into the world's largest family, and its influence has even surpassed the Rothschild family in its heyday! The main influence of the Rothschild family back then was in the financial field, but the Williams family was blooming everywhere. All walks of life were industry leaders, and even formed a monopoly! The huge wealth he has accumulated even made people hesitate to start the Third World War...

　　Minerals are only natural minerals dug from mines, which require various processing to become metallic materials with certain properties. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a metallurgical department for ironmaking, steelmaking, gold smelting, non-ferrous metal extraction and so on. BHP, Billiton, and Northern Australia Mining Corporation all have their own metallurgical departments, but they have not focused on this. Mining companies and steel companies are distinct companies. Being both a referee and an athlete will undoubtedly attract people's hatred. Obviously, mining companies are extremely competitive in smelting costs when they establish steel companies, which will inevitably cause losses to other steel companies. Naturally, steel companies will resist this behavior and go to other places to buy minerals.

　　 But for Henry, it is imperative to establish a steel company. There are too many companies under his name that want to use various metal materials. There are only minerals, and they can't be refined into usable metals. What's the point?

　　Some people are great in life, Henry was born to break the rules! ! !

　　 Involuntarily, Henry immediately ordered people to separate all the metallurgical departments of the Williams Mining Group and establish the Williams Steel Company, and at the same time dig out people from the world's major steel companies. Henry's response can be regarded as arousing public anger. Nippon Steel, Japan's largest steel company, took the lead in protesting, and stated that if Henry Williams insists on establishing the Williams Steel Company, then Nippon Steel will refuse to purchase minerals from Williams Mining Company and cancel the order. Immediately afterwards, Japan's second-largest steel company, Japan Steel Pipe, made a similar statement!

　　 Henry couldn't help but sneered. Sure enough, Japan is kind to me! ! !

　　Okay, then I'm not welcome, and I specifically dig people from Japan!

　　In terms of production scale, among the world's top five steel companies, Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel Pipe rank second and fourth respectively; in terms of production technology, Nippon Steel is the world's first and Japan Steel's third in the world. Do not dig Japan, dig where!

　　 Henry contacted many headhunting companies to help recruit people. Money is not a problem. Taking talents away and destroying the Japanese steel industry is the key!

　　 At this time, journalists from all over the world flocked to Melbourne because they all knew Henry was in Melbourne at the moment.

　　 Henry held a press conference as they wished.

　　 As soon as Henry stepped onto the stage, the reporters couldn't help asking questions.

"Mr. Williams, Williams Mining Corporation monopolizes more than 45.6% of the world's minerals, and every move has a huge impact. Now that the establishment of its own steel company naturally invites opposition from other steel companies. Among them, Williams Mining's The two major customers, Nippon Steel and Japan Steel Pipe, even made a statement, threatening that if they do not cancel the Williams Steel Company, then they will cancel the order. May I ask Mr. Williams, what do you think?"

　　 "……"

　　 Henry picked up the microphone, with a slight smile on his face.

　　 "Hello friends from the media, welcome to this press conference. First, I want to announce one thing."

　　 Henry paused, glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "From today onwards, Williams Mining Group refuses to provide any minerals to Nippon Steel and Japan Steel Pipe!"

　　 As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar!

　　Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel Pipe are big customers. The iron ore that is needed every year is a huge amount of data. Countless mining companies have cut their heads in order to compete for their orders. However, Henry Williams even said lightly that from the future, refused to provide any minerals to Nippon Steel and Japan Steel Pipe. Isn't this actively pushing out business? Could it be that Henry Williams' head got water?

"Baga!!!" The directors of Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel Pipe Company, who watched the live broadcast in Japan, immediately yelled. They believed that they were steel giants. Henry would definitely give in. However, he did not expect Henry to be so decisive and announced directly. Refused to provide them with minerals. It's like putting your face up, thinking that the other party won't be able to hit, thinking, after all, I'm really awesome, do you dare to hit me? But he didn't expect that Henry just hit, "Papa" twice, giving Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel Pipe Corporation a hard slap in the face.

　　 Williams Mining refused to provide them with minerals. Although Williams Mining suffered heavy losses, wouldn't Nippon Steel and Japan Steel Pipe lose much? First, the supply of goods is cut off, and the output of steel in a short period of time will inevitably decrease; secondly, the demand for iron ore is huge, and it is not easy to find a stable supplier. Even if it is found, the other party will inevitably increase the price. Who is Williams? Mining does not sell it to it, but can only buy it from here; thirdly, transportation is not convenient, Australia is close to Japan, but if the goods are purchased from other places, the transportation cost will increase sharply and the risk will increase!

　　 Various factors will inevitably lead to a decline in the international competitiveness of Nippon Steel and Japan Steel Pipe Company, causing great losses! At the same time, the Japanese steel industry will suffer as a result!

Henry raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said lightly: "Now, I want to announce the second thing. For companies that cooperate with Williams Mining Group, the price of iron ore will be much lower than the market price. As for How much is lower depends on the specific cooperation situation. If I am in a good mood and only earn $1, I don’t care!"

　　 Henry said as he walked two steps forward, facing the camera, he smiled and said: "Of course, if there are companies like Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel who want to cancel orders, welcome to bring them up right away..."

　　 The reporters were shocked when they heard this.

　　 Still welcome to propose? Who can be so stupid. Just now Henry Williams said that as long as you cooperate, the price of iron ore will be much lower than the price on the market. If you don't cooperate, it will be the cooperation of other people. Nippon Steel and Japan Steel Pipe are obviously two counterexamples. Henry announced his refusal to provide any minerals to these two companies. Whoever dares to antagonize Henry, just like their two companies can't get cheap minerals!

　　 Henry has strong capital, and it doesn’t matter if you make less minerals. What can you do if you are rich and self-willed?

　　In order to obtain cheap minerals from the world’s major steel companies, which ones are unwilling to buy from Williams Minerals Group?

　　 As for Henry's establishment of the Williams Steel Company, naturally no one dared to gossip. When the Williams Steel Company shows up, it will make much more money than simply selling minerals.

　　 The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Henry made a scheming strategy, focusing on long-term interests. Although other companies knew it, they could do nothing.

　　 After the press conference, major steel companies around the world sent representatives to discuss cooperation matters.

　　 On the same day, the stock prices of Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel Pipe Corporation plummeted wildly! Without Williams Mining, where would they find such a good partner?

　　 At this time, Brazil's Vale and other mining companies also came. Henry's doing this will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in the price of iron ore and serious losses. Other mining companies have to talk to Henry.

　　 So, after Henry established the Williams Mining Company, the first meeting between mining giants was officially held.

　　The top mining companies in the world have gathered in Melbourne, the headquarters of Williams Mining Company, with hundreds of participants.

"Mr. Williams, the price of iron ore can't be too low, otherwise, we won't make money! You know, the price you sell is low, and we have to reduce the price!" A man from Vale, Brazil Represents helplessness.

　　 "Yeah, Mr. Williams. As a mining tycoon, you are involved. As long as you negotiate the price together, you can control the price of mine and make money!"

　　 "That's right, our companies together can monopolize more than 80% of the world's minerals, and they can control prices!"

　　 "Yes, as long as we unite, those steel companies have no choice but to buy my minerals at high prices!"

　　 "……"

　　At this time, Henry suddenly realized that the mining company and the steel company were both cooperative and antagonistic. The steel company hopes to get the cheapest possible ore price, and the mining company hopes to increase the ore price as much as possible. As the giant of global mining, Williams Mining Group should lead a bunch of younger brothers to beat the steel company!

　　 Spicy next door, let's talk about raising the price of iron ore first! ! !

Henry's eyes flashed with a gleam, he scanned the crowd, and said loudly: "Well, what you said is very reasonable. I think it is like this. Everyone set up a mineral organization and holds a meeting every six months to unify the prices of all kinds of mines on the market. To protect our interests!"

　　Minerals Organization?

　　 After hearing this, everyone applauded.

　　 "Mr. Williams's proposal is very good. As we all know, there is an OPEC Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in the world, which regulates oil prices and makes high profits, but there is no decent organization for minerals!"

　　 "Yes, we should also establish a mineral organization to protect everyone's interests!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

　　 "……"

　　People present, seconded by appointment.

　　The representative of Vale Brazil looked at Henry and asked: "Mr. Williams, you proposed the mineral organization. What do you think the name of the organization should be called?"

　　Name?

　　 Henry thought for a while, and said, "Simply, how about calling it ‘Earth Minerals’?

　　 The name is just a code name. When everyone saw Henry said it, they nodded in agreement.

　　 Then, everyone began to discuss how to form a mineral organization and the distribution of power. For a while, the meeting room was noisy like a vegetable market.

　　 It seems that for a while, the mineral organization can no longer be established.

　　 Towards the end of the meeting, Henry proposed to raise the price of iron ore first and raise the price by about 10%, but it was unanimously approved by everyone.

　　 "In addition, everyone can slaughter Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel Pipe Co., Ltd., I think these two companies will be short of iron ore for a long time to come!"

　　 Everyone laughed tacitly upon hearing the words, and they would do the same without Henry's words. Williams Mining Group sells iron ore to partners at a lower price than the iron ore on the market. Naturally, the customers of other mining companies will decrease, just in time for Nippon Steel and Nippon Steel Pipe Company to compensate them!

　　 In the next few days, one is busy receiving partners from the Williams Mining Group, the second is discussing the establishment of the Earth Minerals Organization, and the third is the establishment of a complete Williams Steel Company.

　　 Henry wants to transfer all orders that require steel under his name to Williams Steel, but with the company's current technology and scale, it is still unable to accept these orders. The simplest, rude and effective solution is to acquire other steel companies. Therefore, Henry asked him to take all the information of the world's major steel companies. After research, he decided to buy a large steel company. At this time, a name entered Henry's line of sight.

　　Mittal! ! !

　　Mittal, the king of steel in the world! ! !

This is a billionaire of Indian origin. The Mittal Group he established started from a small company ~lightnovelpub.net~ By 2oo5, it rose to the world's largest steel group and then merged. It is not much different from it, and it is the largest steel group in Europe, Arcelor, which has formed the behemoth in the steel industry-Arcelor-Mittal!

　　 And the secret of his success has been summarized as: to acquire and merge at the most appropriate time, and use the most shrewd management methods to grow the acquired companies.

　　 I have to say that Indians are very awesome, and when eo is definitely a good hand! It's no wonder that more and more eos of Fortune 500 companies in previous lives are of Indian origin.

　　Mittal is a genius among geniuses. With his help, there is no worry that the steel company will not be able to show up.

At present, the current value of Mittal is not 100 million US dollars. The Mittal Group can only be regarded as a medium-sized group. However, in 5 years, its value has skyrocketed. In 2005, it was listed in the US "Forbes" magazine for 2.5 billion US dollars. No. 3 in the world's richest list, Bill Gates and Buffett can be ranked ahead of him.

　　 It is a must to invest in potential stocks, and Henry has no time to manage the company. If there are great people, it will be a lot easier.

　　 At the moment, Williams Steel should not expand too much. The Williams Steel Company is still small, and other steel companies can bear it. If it acquires several large steel companies, it will easily cause backlash and hostility from other steel companies, and "boiling frogs in warm water" is the best...
