Chapter 1024

"Twenty three dollars, excluding tax and shipping, is just the FOB price of the ore." Yun Fei then added to Shen Wenhua in front of him.

This price is what he is prepared to quote at will, and then he is prepared to slowly negotiate with the Ministry of mining or those state-owned steel mills. The bottom price in his mind is only between $19 and $20. However, the current situation has changed. The three major mining companies are ready to export iron ore to China at the price of US $30 per ton, which also does not include freight and tax. In it, US $30 is FOB.

"Mr. Yun, can we discuss this price?" Shen Wenhua frowned and thought for a while, and asked Yun Fei.

The price of $23 is not too high for them.

After all, it is much more difficult for these private units to buy iron ore than those state-owned units, and the price is much higher. The ore is imported by the Ministry of mining as a whole and then distributed to major steel mills in order to avoid vicious competition.

Private factories in China can not be compared with state-owned factories. In the eyes of those leaders, one is raised by his mother and the other is born by his stepmother. There is an essential difference in the treatment. Shagang Group's business has become more and more prosperous in recent years, but it does not have enough ore.

Otherwise, after hearing that Yunfei had 17 million tons of ore in his hands, Shen Wenhua would not have hurriedly chartered a plane to the capital.

The price of $23 a ton is not very high. At least it is much cheaper than Shagang Group's ore in the hands of the state, and it will be much cheaper with freight.

Anyone who buys things is like this. He knows that this thing is very cheap. Everyone wants this price to be cheaper.

"Why, Shen always thinks our price is too high?" Yun Fei asked Shen Wenhua calmly. He was not dissatisfied with his mind. After all, everyone is like this. The cheaper the price of raw materials, the lower the final sales price of the products, which will make the products more competitive in the market.

"Mr. Yun, I don't think the price is too high, but the transportation cost of these ores from West Africa to our country is too high..." Shen Wenhua didn't directly say that the idle price is too high, but turned the corner and said that the transportation distance is too far.

From West Africa to China, to use giant transport ships to transport these ores and reduce transportation costs, we must take the Cape of good hope route in southern Africa, then enter the Indian Ocean and enter China from the Strait of Malacca.

Taking this route is very far away, and the transportation cost is also very high.

When these ores are transported to China from there, the price will be two to three times higher than that from Australia. The price of $23 a ton, plus transportation costs, will not be much cheaper than that of the three major mining companies when they arrive in China.

Many domestic steel companies buy these ores at the price of arrival. After all, there are special transportation companies to transport those ores to some ports in China.

"If it weren't for the long journey, Mr. Shen, do you think it's possible to buy ore at this price? Not to mention anything else, even if the freight is $4 a ton, plus tax or something, the price will not exceed $28.5... "Yun Fei thought that the price he asked for was very reasonable.

Internationally, super large Cape of good hope bulk carriers are generally used to transport these ore raw materials, so that about 150000 tons can be transported at one time, and the transportation cost can be effectively reduced. The only bad thing is that these carriers can not pass through Suez and Panama Canal.

In other words, when importing other bulk goods, China can only use this mode of transportation. Whether you are looking for domestic ocean shipping companies or international ones, these prices will not be too high.

If he has enough capital turnover to pile up all these ores there, the price of these ores will exceed US $80 a ton in a few years, at most in 2005. In particular, the price of Rio Tinto, the world's largest mining company, is much higher than that in the ordinary market.

Hearing Yunfei's words, Shen Wenhua was silent.

Yun Fei is telling the truth.

But now the domestic ore price is almost 28.5. Unless the three major mining companies do not raise the price in China, once the price rises, the price given by Yunfei will be far lower than that in the domestic iron ore market.

Although a ton of ore is only a few dollars cheaper, it is equivalent to dozens of yuan. If a ton of steel is refined, the cost will be saved by hundreds.

"Mr. Yun, we want all these minerals!" Shen Wenhua thought and made a decision soon.

"Do you want 130000 tons of copper ore?" Yun Fei is not surprised that Shen Wenhua made a decision so quickly. It is absolutely impossible to turn a small workshop that started with 450000 and only one production workshop into such a big Mac without a bit of courage“ In addition, all these iron ores have to be paid in cash, and there is no problem with RMB settlement. "

Hearing Yun Fei's words, Shen Wenhua was really embarrassed.

More than 17 million tons of ore, US $400 million, converted into adult currency, which is a huge amount of 3.5 billion!

Companies like Shagang are not like Yunshi holdings. They don't have much cash reserves at all. They take out 3.5 billion at one time. It's not easy for private units like them. In particular, few shareholders can accept such a big deal.

"Mr. Yun, can this fund..." Shen Wenhua hopes that Yunfei can extend the payment time. In recent years, many large domestic enterprises are expanding madly, and most of them are carrying a lot of debt.

The asset liability ratio of Shagang Group has exceeded 50%. There is no other way to buy this batch of ore in Yunfei's hands except loans.

"No. Money and goods. When a ship is transported, the payment for each ship will be settled. If it were not for the problem of capital turnover, I would let him put these ores on for a few years, and then the price would at least rise several times! " Yun Fei is telling the truth, "this afternoon, MI Kaile, vice president in charge of procurement of Baosteel, will come here. Mr. Shen, I'm not trying to raise the price. In this regard, if you can mobilize funds, I'll sell as much ore as I can. If you can't mobilize funds, there's no way. "

These enterprises have been purchasing abroad and will never default on payment, but this is not the case when they purchase at home.

The payment for goods is extremely difficult to recover.

This is billions of dollars, not millions or tens of millions.

With these funds, the company can run the projects in Mauritania. In the next few years, Yunshi holdings will need tens of billions of funds to turn over projects in Mauritania.

Moreover, if it is not for capital turnover, these ore clouds will have a market if they raise the price to $25 a ton. There are too many steel mills in China! Yunfei just wants to sell it all at once. One can never make enough money.

Shen Wenhua naturally knows that Yunfei didn't lie to him. Like Baosteel, they rely on imported ore to support production. Now Baosteel also lacks ore!

"Mr. Yun, can I go back and discuss this matter?" Shen Wenhua almost bit his teeth and said to Yun Fei. This is too big. In terms of capital, they simply can't compare with Baosteel. Behind Baosteel is the whole country.

"This is no problem. In a week, I will reply in a week. " Yun Fei said to Shen Wenhua very seriously.

Compared with state-owned factories, he is more willing to cooperate with these private enterprises. Doing anything is far more efficient than state-owned units. Moreover, although a group company like Baosteel soon sent a deputy general manager, Yun Fei estimated that it was probably Lao Zhu or someone from the Ministry of mining to say hello, otherwise it would be good to have a purchaser at random.

However, boss Yunda guessed wrong this time.

Mikaele didn't have the consciousness of the senior management of the arrogant state-owned large factory. When he came to Chengdu, he dialed Yunfei just after he got off the airport. Invite Yun Fei to meet and negotiate immediately.

This immediately made Yunfei feel that there should be a big problem in the negotiation between the Ministry of mining and the three major mining companies.

Michelle is a tall, strong and capable middle-aged man in his forties. He has a capable board inch. The whole person is very energetic. The most important thing is that this man doesn't look like a heavenly boss and his dick like other guys in the system Yun Fei met.

Therefore, the talks between the two sides are very harmonious.

"Mr. Yun, can you look at the goods first? If these ores can really reach the level you said, even if the price is a little higher, it's not a problem." Mikaele didn't say that Yunfei was wishful thinking after listening to Yunfei's request that all minerals be transported away and paid for one ship“ In addition, if there is no problem with the ore, we can pay 60% in advance when loading the first ship! "

The boss of the state-owned factory is rich and powerful.

This is more than $3 billion.

60% has exceeded 2 billion. As long as Yunfei can hold these minerals, the $50 million of these minerals don't have to be paid by boss Yunda himself. Baosteel has enough foreign exchange in its hands.

"Of course. Whoever sells things has to let buyers see the goods. " Yun Fei said with a smile.

"In addition, Mr. Yun, I heard that your company has obtained a lot of mining rights in Africa?" Michelle asked Yunfei very seriously.
