Text Chapter 405 Japan¡¯s global resource layout

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If Wen Feng based on his future achievements in controlling Japan's resources, he would tell the world that Japan had already begun to deploy various resources around the world many years ago, transforming from a small country with no resources to a country that can use resource weapons to snipe at China.  , thereby achieving indirect control of China's economy, or even kidnapping China's local economy, and even affecting the direction and route of China's economic development in the future, it may be difficult for the Chinese people to accept it.

    But if the style of writing tells the world, even for a long time, it may be the most national in the minds of the Chinese people. The giant steel company that seems to be a state-owned enterprise has been provided by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of Japan since its establishment, and will continue to do so until the future.  In 2013, Mitsui played a decisive role in China's first-class and largest steel company, which may be even more difficult for Chinese people to accept.

    However, this is actually the case.

    Thirty years later, Wenfeng knew that it was the company in our country that seemed to be very proud of the Chinese people that brazenly raised the price of steel despite the alarming amount of steel inventory. Because at that time, China's real estate was like a fire, and the price was reduced at the source.  Raising the price will help dampen China's economy and make China's economic bubble bigger. We hope China will fall harder when it falls.

    And who will be the final beneficiary?

    Wenfeng didn¡¯t know much, but he at least knew that thirty years later, the major companies that would tightly control the source of China¡¯s iron ore were actually considered hostile enterprises of China.

    Among these companies, the influence of Japan's Mitsui Consortium is omnipresent. It not only owns 49% of the shares of this seemingly "national" giant steel company in China.  At the same time, it also controls Brazil's Vale, controls Nippon Steel, South Korea controls Posco, and India controls Tata, so the first to reap the benefits of huge price increases every year is Nippon Steel.

    Of course, it seems that the main producers of iron ore, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile and even India, will benefit directly.  But don't forget that the Japanese consortium directly or indirectly owns a large number of local iron ore companies. Although most of Japan's resources are imported, they have already controlled the resources at the source.

    So not only did they not gain anything.  In fact, they have received a lot of benefits, which is not even nice to say, because of the existence of Chinese steel companies, so all the resources they obtain domestically are actually paid for by China.

    Looking at the history of the next thirty years, 68.2% of the global seaborne iron ore trade volume of 660 million tons in 2005 went to Asia. Among them, Chinese steel companies imported 275 million tons of iron ore, accounting for 43% of the global seaborne iron ore trade volume.  %about.  As the world's largest iron ore importer and steel producer, China is passive in annual price negotiations.  Japan is hardly affected by rising iron ore prices.  It has even become a beneficiary of rising iron ore prices.

    Of course, what's even more tragic is that Wen Feng never figured it out. The reason why Mitsui was able to get such benefits was that although he only held 49% of the shares in that seemingly very 'national' steel company in China,  The chairman of this steel company has always been appointed by Mitsui, and this is still the case more than thirty years later.

    In this process, all the steelmaking equipment of this steel company since its establishment was provided by Mitsui, and the equipment provided was clearly laid in ambush long ago, and even kidnapped all the steel companies in China because of these  Once the equipment is operational.  Ninety-nine percent of the iron ore he needs must be imported!

    On the official website of Mitsui & Co., you can see such a clear narrative in the writing style:

    "Since the 1960s, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. has actively participated in the investment and development of iron ore resources and has provided a stable supply of iron ore for a long time. In 2003, it acquired Vale (formerly known as CVRD Vale), the world's largest iron ore producer and seller.  ) the company's parent company, Valepar, has a 15% stake in the company, and has continued to expand its iron ore business in cooperation with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. The iron ore holding output based on Mitsui & Co.'s equity ratio has jumped to the top  It ranks fourth in the world, with annual mining rights exceeding 40 million tons."

    In fact, if you look closely at this resource market based on the future historical trend, the real union between Mitsui & Co. and Vale of Brazil began in 2001 when Mitsui & Co. helped Vale successfully acquire the Brazilian resource company CMM.

    The Japanese have long been acutely aware of the scarcity of resources, so they started planning a long time ago, starting in the 1970s and ending in 1985 to 1995.  As the appreciation of the Japanese dollar began Japan's overseas expansion, it actually accelerated their pace of controlling overseas resources.

    Since the 1980s, Mitsui & Co. has owned 40% of the shares of CMM. Later, it bought 60% of the voting shares from the Frering brothers, the grandsons of the founder of CMM, and completely acquired CMM.

    After that, Mitsui & Co. sold half of its shares in CMM to Vale, helping the latter successfully control CMM.?

    Since then, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. has continued to deepen its cooperation with Vale. The two parties signed a strategic alliance agreement in April 2002, officially extending the cooperative relationship beyond the iron ore business, including Mitsui & Co. selling mining machinery to Vale and providing transportation iron.  rail carriages for ore, and establishing joint ventures for coastal container shipping and logistics.

    During the cooperation, Mitsui & Co. also provided financial assistance to Vale. In daily work, the two parties also had very close personnel exchanges. For example, Mitsui & Co. sent people to serve as Vale's account managers, and the two parties also established an information exchange mechanism.

    In fact, as early as September 2003, Mitsui & Co. invested US$830 million to acquire 10,000 common shares of Valepar, the holding company of Vale in Brazil.  The shares acquired are equivalent to 5.05% of Vale's total shares and 7.84% of Vale's common shares.

    Therefore, the share composition of Valepar is: Littel (four Brazilian pension funds) holds sharesthe investment company of the Brazilian Development Bank) holds 17.4%, and Mitsui & Co. holds 15.0%.  However, the first two shareholders are local financial institutions in Brazil with no business experience and are not actual operators. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. sent business executives to join Vale's administrative committee and became the de facto company's business decision-maker.

    At the same time, Mitsui & Co. has invested and operated iron ore mines in Australia for many years and has a close relationship with Rio Tinto.

    Mitsui & Co. already partially owns one of Rio Tinto¡¯s core assets, the iron ore business in Australia.

    In 1965, Mitsui & Co. investedin the iron ore mine.

    In 1967, we continued to invest in the Newman Iron Mine in Australia.

    ???Currently, the iron ore mines and mines located in Western Australia are jointly owned and mined by Rio Tinto, Mitsui & Co., Nippon Steel, and Sumitomo Metal Industries.

    Mitsui & Co.¡¯s relationship with Australia¡¯s BHP Billiton is also extraordinary.

    Mitsui & Co. operates three iron ore joint ventures in Western Australia and BHP Billiton, Itochu Corporation and Mitsui & Co. have stakes in these joint ventures of 85%, 8% and 7% respectively.

    Mitsui & Co., Ltd. has also successively introduced capital increase plans to increase the annual production capacity of the jointly operated Western Australia iron ore joint venture.

    In addition, Mitsui & Co. and BHP Billiton also have alliances outside Australia.

    As early as November 2006, BHP Billiton sold 15% of its interests in the Namibia oil and gas fields in Southwest Africa to Mitsui & Co. This transaction marked the first time that a Japanese company obtained an exploration license in Namibia.

    In addition to Mitsui & Co., it is particularly worth mentioning that two other Japanese consortiums, Sumitomo Consortium and Mitsubishi Consortium, also have close cooperative relationships with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.

    For example, Rio Tinto owns 80% of the copper, gold and silver mine in New South Wales, Australia, with its joint venture partner Sumitomo Corporation owning 6.7% and Sumitomo Metal Mining Company owning 13.3%.

    In addition, Rio Tinto Alcan and Sumitomo Corporation jointly own the Boyne Island aluminum smelting plant in New Zealand. Rio Tinto Alcan owns 79% of the plant's shares, and the remaining 21% is held by Japan's Sumitomo Corporation.

    Mitsubishi Corporation, a comprehensive trading company of the Mitsubishi Consortium, and BHP Billiton jointly operate BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Associates (BMA), the world's largest coking coal supplier, in Australia, with each party holding 50% of the shares.

    Mitsubishi Corporation and BHP Billiton also cooperate closely on aluminum and copper projects. Mitsubishi Corporation holds 10% of the shares of the Mozal aluminum smelter in Mozambique, and BHP Billiton holds 47% of the shares.

    Mitsubishi Corporation holds a small stake in the Chilean copper mine, and BHP Billiton holds a 57.5% stake.

    Mitsubishi Corporation holds 10% of the Antamina copper-zinc mine in Peru, and BHP Billiton holds 33.75% of the shares.

    ???Explanation, the financial systems of the Mitsui Foundation and the Sumitomo Foundation merged to form the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. The two companies are brothers.  But in fact, even if Mitsubishi Corporation is included, they are just strategic machines for the Japanese government's external control and economic warfare. The Mitsui Consortium has proven this since World War II.  He is actually the most fundamental force in Japan. They are controlled by underground organizations such as the Black Dragon Society, which once again shows that those who actually control the world are the powerful ones lurking behind the scenes.

    certainly.  In addition to controlling iron ore resources, Japan also leaves no room to control and exert influence on other resources, thereby comprehensively curbing China's rise. In fact, judging from their layout, they also have more than 30 descendants of China.  Judging from the economic development trajectory in 2016, Japan will leave no room for plundering and hostility to China. As for the former sage who exempted the Japanese from war compensation with a stroke of his pen, I don¡¯t know what Izumoshita would think.

    After the collapse of the Soviet Union.  The rich resources in Central Asia have also become a target for Japan. In particular, Japan does not seem to possess nuclear weapons, but its ambitions for the strategic resource uranium mines are chilling.

    The writing style remembers that since the announcement of China¡¯s nuclear energy development plan in 2005,?, the Japanese consortium has consciously accelerated its strategic deployment. In 2006, the same month that Toshiba announced its acquisition of Westinghouse Electric, Kazakhstan's State Atomic Energy Corporation announced that it had established a joint venture company, 'Abak', with the Sumitomo Consortium and Kansai Electric Power Company.  The two parties will jointly mine the Ha'Meguduk uranium mine, with the two Japanese companies each holding 35% of the shares. The uranium mining volume will reach 100 tons per year before 2010, and the raw materials will mainly be sold to Japan.

    In the year 2006, the outgoing Xiao Quan visited Central Asia even before his death.  When they entered Kazakhstan, they were accompanied by Japanese consortiums such as Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation, Itochu Corporation, and Sojitz Corporation. The purpose was to lock in Japan's mining of uranium mines in Kazakhstan and in this competition for nuclear fuel in Central Asia.  China completely defeated China.

    With Japan's full efforts to carry out various investments and commercial arrangements, it contained China at the source, causing China's investment in Central Asia to be frustrated. It would not be until two years later that some substantial results could be seen. However,  Most of it has been lost, leaving only some residue and soup.

    At the same time, Japan is not just Kazakhstan. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, various minerals contained in Russia have become the targets of the Japanese. In 2006, Mitsui Industrial signed an agreement with the Russian Technology Supply and Export Company to begin mining Yaku.  With the joint venture project in the "Southern" uranium mining area, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. has become the first foreign company to enter the Russian mining market after opening up the strategic field of nuclear energy in Russia. It is also the first foreign company to directly participate in the preparation of uranium raw material mining projects in Russia.

    At that time, Reuters quoted a Mitsui spokesman as saying: "We must ensure the share of uranium before Chinese competition comes"!  ~!
