Hao Jianping finally sat down. He opened the beer and handed it to Zeng Qiming and Chen Kuan. He opened another bottle himself. After thinking about it, he looked at Zeng Qiming and said, "Brother Qiming, I see that the price of iron ore has increased this time. It is not a bad thing for domestic steel production companies to face a crisis. Japan, like China, is also a big importer of iron ore, but why have they not been affected by the rise in iron ore prices? I think their experience is worth learning from. one time."
Zeng Qiming nodded. Senior officials have discussed this issue for a long time. In the final analysis, the problem lies in the overcapacity of Chinese steel companies. This has also caused the price of iron ore to rise, while the selling price of steel has dropped. This is a strange phenomenon, because the normal price mechanism has been artificially distorted, and high production has become a negative factor affecting the development of domestic steel companies.
Slogans such as doubling production capacity in one year and creating a certain amount of output value in three years are actually extremely short-sighted behavior.
As we all know, iron ore is a non-renewable resource. Over-exploitation of iron ore can only cause prices to rise. Many of us only see the profits in front of us, but completely ignore the consequences when the resources are exhausted. What will we do? India's ability to sell low-grade iron ore at high-grade prices is inseparable from the gouging up by many private companies in China.
¡°Japan, which is also a country with a large demand for iron ore, has controlled the strategic reserves of upstream resources through thirty years of efforts. It is Japanese steel companies that have control and initiative when facing international competition.
As iron ore prices rise, Japanese steel companies will also suffer the impact of price increases. However, Japanese steel companies have directly or indirectly participated in iron ore mining in Brazil, Australia, Canada, Chile and even India through various methods. Enterprises, all 24 important iron ore mines in Australia have Japanese companies as shareholders. It can be said that Japan has been able to control the trend of iron ore to a large extent, thus providing prerequisites for it to curb steel companies in other countries. However, the price increase losses suffered by their steel companies were all made up by the trading dividends of iron ore, and they obtained greater returns.
It¡¯s not that Zeng Qiming doesn¡¯t know these things. At his level, many things are no longer secrets to him, and he even understands them better than others.
Hao Jianping nodded slightly in agreement with Hao Jianping's words, and said with deep sympathy: "When international steel prices fell, many steel companies in the world responded by cutting production, while some of our companies were still engaged in large-scale efforts. Come on, you are digging your own grave."
Hao Jianping smiled slightly: "This is the concept that some of us have in our minds, year after year, and earning a handful is a handful. This is directly related to those who are officials in the local government. They seem to also consider being officials. One term benefits one party, but they want to work hard and achieve political results early. In fact, in the final analysis,,,,,,, forget it, if I don't talk about this, what's the use of talking about it."
Hao Jianping waved his hand tiredly. He originally wanted to say that this was directly related to our current official transfer system, but think about it, what's the use? The country's current system cannot be changed just because of his one or two words. It is unrealistic to change the official system, but it is indeed easy for officials to do some performance projects and short-term and fast projects, so their vision has become short-sighted. Few officials will consider building some projects that are slow to achieve sustainable development. project, it also resulted in the existence of local construction fault zones, which cannot be compensated by the current mechanism.
Chen Kuan sighed and said softly: "It would be great if our local officials could build the areas under their jurisdiction into a city like Fudong City."
Chen Kuan came from Fudong City and was one of the founders of the new Fudong City Planning. The new Fudong City was born in the hands of him and Hao Lichu, and he knew very well that the current state of Fudong City Urban planning will not be outdated even in another hundred years. If every official could have the ambition of his predecessors to plant trees, then the country could save an astonishingly huge amount of wealth every year just from repeated construction projects. This wealth belongs to every citizen, but only a handful of people occupy it. The parents and officials squandered their share with a stroke of their pen.
Zeng Qiming nodded gently: "It's not too late to fix the problem. Starting from our generation, things will get better gradually."
Hao Jianping raised the bottle and extended it to Zeng Qiming: "Well said, brother Qiming, I respect you."
The three of them clinked the bottles and took a sip. Zeng Qiming looked at Hao Jianping and said, "But people have to pass through this hurdle. You can't just watch the country suffer such a huge loss?"
Coming around again, Hao Jianping rolled his eyes angrily: "Brother Qiming, I am not an omnipotent god."??This matter is beyond my ability. I hope it is better for the country to handle this matter through normal means. Then again, if we take this opportunity to shut down some small and medium-sized steel production enterprises, it will also be beneficial to improving the competitiveness of our country's steel in the international market. "
Zeng Qiming smiled slightly: "I was just entrusted by others, and the words have been brought to you. What you do is your own business. Well, the chicken wings are really well grilled, but the cumin is a little less"
Hao Jianping smiled and shook his head, reached for a roasted red prawn and handed it to Chen Kuan: "Uncle Chen, try this."
Chen Kuan took it over with a smile and told Hao Jianping about the development and construction of Jinsha City.
¡°Two days later, when Hao Jianping¡¯s special plane flew a family of six to Australia, the senior officials also breathed a sigh of relief.
This kid said he didn¡¯t care, but he still flew to Australia. The senior management did not believe that this boy was just taking his wife and children to reunite with his parents. BHP Billiton, the world's three largest iron ore companies, is located in Australia, and Spain's Rio Tinto also controls Australia's second largest iron ore production. Mine Hamersley Iron Mine, the country's expectations for Hao Jianping's trip are not high. As long as he can win more iron ore export quotas for the country, at least the domestic steel companies can overcome the current difficulty.
They are still deeply touched by this boy's patriotism. As long as the issue is raised to the level of national justice, this boy will not hesitate to rush forward even if he bites the bullet.
Hao Jianping did not notify Shui Lingshan in advance that he was coming to Australia, but when the plane landed in Brisbane, Shui Lingshan was already waiting at the airport.
Hao Jianping knew that every move he made now would attract the attention of countless people, and many pairs of eyes were staring at him all the time, so he was not surprised at all when Shui Lingshan appeared here.
Shui Lingshan is nearly forty years old, and has been following Hao Jianping for almost ten years. She has grown from the little accountant who didn't even dare to have children to a financial tycoon who can turn clouds and rain with her hands, but with the passage of time, It didn't leave any trace on her face. She still looked the same as when she first met Hao Jianping, but she looked a little more graceful.
The two of them smiled and shook hands. Shui Lingshan greeted Yanzi and Zhong Xiaomei in turn, and opened the car door for Hao Jianping herself, as if she could not express her respect for Hao Jianping otherwise.
Yan Zi smiled and took Shui Lingshan's arm, leaning her head and whispering.
As the convoy drove out of Brisbane Airport, two helicopters circled over, one in front and one behind, guarding the convoy. The lineup was stronger than before.
"Mr. Shui, why haven't you seen Brother Zheng and Qing Xiao?" Hao Jianping asked Shui Lingshan, who was sitting opposite him. In the past, every time he came to Australia, Shui Lingshan's family of three came to greet him. This time, Zheng Ruduo and their son Zheng Qingxiao did not show up, which surprised Hao Jianping.
Shui Lingshan smiled and said: "The supermarket in the United States is preparing to go on sale. Lao Zheng took his son to the other side of the United States. It will probably take some time before he can come back." To be continued! .
