20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3883 Shan Qiang, a scholar well-versed in history

01年13.15万吨，02年13.9万吨，03年14.7万吨，04年11.64万吨。

It can be seen that the price increase that began in the fall of 02 had a very small impact on the global increase in molybdenum concentrate products in 03.

Even as late as 04, global molybdenum mining companies began to have doubts about the speculation surrounding the rising molybdenum prices that had lasted for more than a year, and they also began to intentionally reduce production and strictly control export controls in order to regulate supply and stabilize prices.

It wasn't until June 2005, when the price of one grade of molybdenum concentrate soared to an outrageous 6250 yuan per ton, that global molybdenum mines belatedly began to expand their investments.

After all, the price has risen from a low of 400 yuan/ton-degree in 01 to 6250 yuan/ton-degree, an increase of more than thirteen times. Even if it drops further, it is impossible for it to fall below 1000 yuan in a short period of time.

The total output that year nearly tripled, reaching 30 tons of molybdenum metal, but the price remained above 5000 yuan per ton.

This means that even if Luanchuan Molybdenum starts mining 24/7 in three shifts, and increases its annual production by one or two thousand tons of molybdenum concentrate, the impact on international molybdenum prices will be very limited.

However, if handled well, it could be a rare opportunity for OneNano, Molybdenum Group, and the local economy.

Currently, the molybdenum group's mine has nearly 9,000 tons of molybdenum metal in its ore reserves. The cost price for the eighth layer is 800 yuan per ton-degree, and for the less than two layers it is 700 yuan per ton-degree.

If Zhao Chang'an takes it at 1000 yuan/ton-degree, the cost price for the former becomes approximately 860 yuan/ton-degree, and for the latter, it becomes 770 yuan/ton-degree.

The net profit attributable to the company was RMB 140 and RMB 230 per ton, respectively.

It can generate a net profit of approximately 2 million, which is 17% of the sales revenue, which is quite high.

The newly produced molybdenum concentrate was sold at a price of 5000 yuan per ton-degree, and the molybdenum company's net profit could even reach close to 40%, which is about 2000 yuan per ton-degree.

Based on the molybdenum company's output last year, it could bring the group 36 billion in sales and 9.5 million in net profit.

You could say you shouldn't eat too much.

This is why Zhao Chang'an was willing to buy the 9,000 tons of molybdenum concentrate and ferromolybdenum at a price of 1000 yuan per ton, more than half the price of the low price of 500 yuan per ton, at a loss.

This allows companies to start production quickly and build up their strength for future growth.

“Then I suggest we don’t go to Luoyi tomorrow. Let’s tell Gu Dacong and the molybdenum company this request. If they know that we are willing to bet on buying it at a price of 500 to 1000 yuan per ton when the international price is 500 yuan per ton, I bet Gu Dacong will want to have a big meal tomorrow, and I bet the entire molybdenum group and related parties will be in an uproar.”

Wen Ye looked at Zhao Chang'an: "Although I don't know if people who know this news will call you an idiot in private, I really think at least nine out of ten will call you a responsible and dutiful good idiot."

"And there is another true sage who knows my deep thoughts and far-sightedness."

Zhao Chang'an smiled and said, "I would be content to have even one-tenth of these close friends."

"No, one in ten people will think you're certain that molybdenum prices won't rise in the near future, and will remain around 500 yuan/ton within a year, or even drop to 400. After taking over the molybdenum company, OneNano can't just announce a production halt. What you're doing is just a compromise, taking a certain risk to turn these inventories into cash, clearing out the mine silos, and allowing the company to maintain production."

Wen Ye said, "Actually, I've been having a headache with this too. Even though Luoyi Bank agreed to provide a loan of 6 million to acquire 76% of Luanchuan Molybdenum's shares, what if the company has no cash flow and owes so much money? The mine is full of ore, how can we mine it? And where will we put the mined ore? Now, thanks to your selfless and altruistic spirit, these two problems have finally been solved. They will all give you a thumbs up and praise you as a good person who burns himself to light up others!"

Hearing Wen Ye's praise, Zhao Chang'an smiled reservedly. This feeling of being able to have both a role and a position was actually quite nice.

—— Zhengzhou City.

Shan Qiang stood on the sixteenth floor of the Green Garden Group building, gazing at the night view outside the window. Her face was solemn, tinged with suppressed anger. She had been standing there for an unknown amount of time.

She had anticipated that the stock price would continue to decline today, given the group's New Year meeting. However, in her view, today's decline could be considered a bottoming out.

Since all the negative news has been released, the release of negative information is a positive sign. The next stage will see the stock price stabilize and then begin an upward trend.

This was indeed the case this morning; the market dropped nearly 8% instantly after opening, and then quickly recovered to -3%.

After that, it fluctuated between -3% and -6%, and the chart began to show the initial signs of a bottom forming.

In the ten minutes or so before the midday break, the liquidity of Green Garden Group's stock almost dried up, and the bottoming pattern became increasingly obvious.

This shows that the accumulated strength is about to burst forth with tremendous power.

Seeing this, Shan Qiang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down. She glanced at the time, prepared to shut down her computer, and went to eat.

Then in the afternoon, he led Shang Wanru, Fu Pengtuan, Qiu Shanshan, Chen Xing (Luo Jinsheng's wife's nephew), and Mu Yongjin's daughter, Mu Ziwei—

This group of young people visited the sales offices in Liancheng to get a more firsthand feel for the differences in sales in different regions.

At the same time, Fu Pengtuan and Qiu Shanshan, who are in charge of the sales offices in Muye and Shancheng, can also select some of the staff from the sales offices that are about to be closed as the core team they bring with them.

Another reason is that she wants to show the outside world that she is confident about Green Garden's stock price, which can also be considered a form of soft publicity.

Shan Qiang has been particularly enjoying inspecting with this group of energetic young people lately. In her view, these young people are energetic, ambitious, and idealistic. They are sharp and incisive, yet lack tact. They dare to be blunt and address issues directly, adhering to principles.

These are qualities that seasoned professionals don't possess, and they are the people she should consider as future confidants and reserve talents for the group, and promote and give them important responsibilities.

Xu Wanrong was only twenty-four years old, but she was already the head of the group's main branch. Wen Ye was the same age as Xu Wanrong and was in charge of a huge company, the One Nano Zhengzhou headquarters.

In Shan Qiang's view, none of the young people surrounding her were inferior to Xu Wanrong and Wen Ye.

Fu Pengtuan and Chen Xing are graduates of a 985 university, and Mu Ziwei studied at the University of Sheffield in the UK. Moreover, their parents are either wealthy and powerful businessmen or people in powerful organizations. From a young age, their education and upbringing were different from ordinary people, and they naturally possessed an aristocratic air.

Although Qiu Shanshan comes from an ordinary family and only attended a regular university with a major in business administration, she is beautiful, has high emotional intelligence and strong abilities. Most importantly, she is extremely loyal. At the Zhengzhou sales office headquarters, she is the one who is always informed of any developments.

Shan Qiang may despise such snitches in her heart, but she also needs such people as her eyes and ears.

Shan Qiang was well-versed in history, understood the ways of officialdom and how to manage people's hearts, how to balance her subordinates, and how to firmly grasp power.

As someone in a position of power, Shan Qiang deeply agrees with the judgments of some cold-blooded historical figures: one's position determines one's perspective, one's stance is absolutely right or wrong, one must have a group of reliable confidants, and one must have a clique of people around one who opposes others.

If you don't understand this point, as countless historical lessons have proven, you will definitely suffer a terrible fate.
