I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 386: Smokeless War

In a conference room at the headquarters building of Australia's BPB Mining Group.

The presidents of the three major iron ore giants BPB, LT and CRD gathered together, each with a serious face and endless anger.

“We must let them know how powerful we are!”

"Let them never be able to buy our high-quality iron ore!"

"What the hell is the Interstellar Mining Alliance?"

"They are challenging the world order and overturning the table on which we eat."

"They must be severely punished!"

Tom, president of LT Mining Group, said angrily.

It's totally outrageous.

Not only did they form the so-called Interstellar Mining Alliance, but as soon as this alliance was established, it officially announced that it would significantly increase production. It is expected that the output of lunar iron ore will increase to 10 billion tons next year, which will reach one-third of the current iron ore production on Earth.

It also announced that the production of lunar copper mines would be increased to 1000 million tons, which would be half of the current copper production on Earth.

As the news came out, the prices of iron ore and copper ore plummeted, and the stock prices of the three mining giants also began to plummet.

This is something that no one can tolerate.

But this is just the beginning.

While announcing the increase in production, the Interstellar Mining Alliance also significantly and proactively lowered the prices of major mineral resources such as iron ore and copper ore, launching a powerful price war without declaring war.

The price reduction was so large that it directly brought the prices they had worked so hard to raise step by step over the past ten or twenty years back to the prices at the beginning of the millennium.

If we take inflation and currency depreciation into account, the prices of iron ore, copper ore and other minerals will be driven down to rock-bottom prices.

"If we sell the ore at the current price, we will not only make no profit, but also face huge losses."

"They are going to thoroughly challenge our dominance and authority in the field of mineral resources!"

Brent, the president of BPB Mining Group, had a gloomy face. Iron ore was the most important business of BPB Group. At its peak, it made 40 billion a day from rabbits. The company's main business was the mining and sales of iron ore.

Now the Interstellar Mining Alliance has launched a price war, directly driving prices down to rock-bottom levels, which is absolutely a fatal blow to the BPB Group.

"So they must be severely punished!"

"The resources on the moon belong to everyone, but now they are unscrupulously exploiting the resources that belong to everyone. They are unscrupulously stealing the wealth that belongs to all mankind."

"They are the most shameless thieves and thieves."

"We must let the people of the world see their true colors and unite everyone's strength to severely punish them."

Tom's face grew grim as he spoke.

They drool with envy over the resources on the moon.

The resources on the moon are so abundant, but now they can only watch as the people from the Interstellar Mining Alliance enjoy the good life and grab land on the moon, and they can do nothing.

There is simply no other way except impotent anger and verbal battles.

They tried to launch some unmanned landers to the moon and also wanted to occupy some space on the moon, but these landers disappeared inexplicably.

As for who pulled him away, you can tell with your toes.

Without advanced anti-gravity spacecraft, there is simply no way to compete in the space domain.

"Gentlemen, I find the incompetent ranting to be pointless."

"Now that they have declared war on us, all we can do is win this war."

CRD Group President Naidu is relatively more rational.

If enemies could be defeated with just words, the order of the world would have undergone a radical change long ago.

After all, the world ultimately has to be ruled by fists.

Their technology is advanced enough, their fists are strong enough, and their strength is strong enough. Even if they announce the occupation of the entire moon, you can't do anything to them.

Besides, what is the moon? There are Mars, Venus, Mercury, etc. in the entire solar system. If you have the ability, why don’t you occupy them?

"Since they have declared war on us, we have no choice but to fight them to the death!"

"Our three companies must form an alliance of common interests and stand together on this matter."

Brent said seriously: "If we don't defeat the Interstellar Mining Alliance, we will never live a good life."

"Don't even think about selling it at a good price anymore. Our ore will be sold at a low price like cabbage. We will get nothing after all the hard work."

"The Interstellar Mining Alliance must be defeated!"

"The priority now is to lift the ban on them. They have the largest number of steel companies in the world and consume 70% of the world's iron ore a year."

"If the ban is not lifted, the Interstellar Mining Alliance will just sell the iron ore to their own steel companies." "But we simply can't find buyers for our iron ore."

"Yes, this ban must be lifted as soon as possible. Now my company's iron ore has piled up into mountains and cannot be sold. The world's combined demand for iron ore is not as much as theirs."

As the three of them were talking, they suddenly fell silent. They looked at each other and immediately understood the confidence of the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

The reason why they dare to initiate a price war and challenge the dominant position of the Big Three.

In addition to the huge mineral resources on the moon, what is more important is that they have the world's largest consumer market.

They consume 70% of the world's iron ore and 60% of the world's copper ore each year.

In the past, they had few resources of their own, and these resources were urgently needed for economic development. Even when the Big Three clearly and deliberately raised prices in an extortionate manner, they had to bear it.

But now, they have the vast resources on the moon, coupled with their own huge consumer market, which can form a perfect closed loop.

Even if the price drops to rock bottom, they can still sell the ore by relying on their huge domestic demand market.

It's nothing more than making less money.

But for the three giants, this means that the ore in their hands cannot be sold at all. Even at a very low price, they cannot find buyers to purchase their ore.

Because they are also the world's largest buyers, they will definitely give priority to their own people. There is no reason for them to buy your iron ore at the same price. What's more, they have been frantically raising prices by the three giants in the past, and the scars are still painful.

"Ruined!"

“This is no longer a question of price, but a question of whether we may not be able to sell our ore in the future.”

Naidu realized this clearly in an instant.

The low price only means less profit. The profit from mining mineral resources is very staggering, and they are the most aware of this.

But if you can’t sell it, you will really lose a lot of money.

"Our price must be lower than that of the Interstellar Mining Alliance."

"Otherwise, we really won't be able to sell our ore."

Tom, who was extremely arrogant at the beginning, has now calmed down.

"But the current prices are already very cheap, the prices cannot fall any further!"

Brent thought for a while and said, "Perhaps this is no longer something that our three companies can solve."

“This is unfair competition!”

"Yes, this is unfair competition, and we must let the company's shareholders find a way to resolve this matter."

"The root of the matter still has to go back to the issue of lunar resources. The moon belongs to all mankind, and the resources on the moon should belong to all mankind."

"They are using resources that belong to all mankind to compete with us. This is extremely unfair, despicable and shameless!"

The three giants soon realized that in this war without the smoke of gunpowder, they were naturally doomed to fail.

No matter how low the price falls, the worst outcome for them is that they won't be able to sell their iron ore at all.

Because the world's largest iron ore consumers are still people like the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

Many members of the Interstellar Mining Alliance are mining tycoons and steel tycoons. They start directly at the source, investing in lunar mining, mining iron ore and smelting steel on the moon themselves.

There are also super giants like Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group, which is backed by Feiyun Technology Group.

Even if you sell the ore at a loss, it doesn't matter, because Feiyun Technology Group is wealthy enough and is not afraid of losses.

Even if it loses tens of billions a year, it is just a drop in the bucket for Feiyun Technology Group.

But for the three major mining giants, if they lose tens of billions a year, they will soon go bankrupt.

What's more, they are both sellers and buyers, so they are not afraid of low prices at all.

After defeating the three giants and completely controlling the global mineral market, they can then slowly raise prices step by step.

They have used this method many times before and it has always been successful. They have acquired a large number of mining companies and monopolized global mineral resources.

But now that their status has changed, they feel uncomfortable.

Soon, three mining giants began to operate.

On the one hand, they continue to hype up the issue of lunar resources, believing that the moon is a wealth and resource belonging to all mankind and should belong to people all over the world. It cannot be owned by a few people, let alone be arbitrarily mined and polluted.

This obviously has the support of many people, especially those who are jealous of the benefits they cannot get. They are constantly brewing this matter, causing dissatisfaction in many places.

On the other hand, the three giants soon received strong support from their respective financiers and shareholders, and began a real price war with the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

If you sell it for 10 yuan in the Interstellar Mining Alliance, I will sell it for 9 yuan. If you sell it for 9 yuan, I will sell it for 8 yuan. In short, we must fight to the end with the Interstellar Mining Alliance.
