Chapter 387 Your Iron Ore Will Rot in the Warehouse

Longjiang Iron and Steel Group is a super large private steel enterprise with an annual scale of more than 3000 billion.

However, the steel industry has always been walking on thin ice, with very low profits, usually with a net profit of only a pitiful three or four points, and sometimes even only one or two points.

If the price of iron ore goes up, we may even end up making losses in many cases.

In the past, when infrastructure was developing rapidly, the demand for steel was very high, and steel companies were able to survive.

However, in recent years, with the slowdown in infrastructure construction, the decline in demand for steel, and the soaring iron ore prices due to the iron ore ban, steel companies have had a very difficult time.

Especially last year, a large number of steel companies stopped production and had to lay off employees on a large scale. Even many private steel companies went out of business and had to go bankrupt.

Because Longjiang Steel is large in size and a private enterprise, it is better at specialization in order to survive and will try every possible means to survive, so it survived the most difficult year.

This year, the situation began to improve.

The high-quality iron ore from the moon allows everyone to regain raw materials. Coupled with the electric vehicle manufacturing industry and Feiyun Aerospace Group's large-scale construction of spacecraft and anti-gravity aircraft, the demand for steel is also beginning to expand.

Life is finally getting a little better.

But things really got better after the establishment of the Interstellar Mining Alliance, which began to drastically reduce the price of iron ore, directly bringing the price of iron ore to a rock-bottom level, which made life easier for all steel companies.

What steel companies fear most is the rise in iron ore prices. Once the price of iron ore goes up, their profit margins will be squeezed very hard.

On the contrary, if the price of iron ore falls, steel companies will have much greater room for profit operation.

“It would be nice to know that the price of iron ore will always be like this.”

Long Tu, chairman of Longjiang Iron and Steel Group, looked at the latest iron ore prices and his whole body was full of smiles.

The profits of steel companies are really too low. They are walking on thin ice every day and are too sensitive to the price of iron ore.

"Chairman!"

"In the short term, the price of iron ore will definitely get lower and lower."

"The Interstellar Mining Alliance and the Big Three are now desperately fighting for the right to speak and price control over iron ore, and the price is falling again and again."

Yu Junwei, a senior executive standing by, said with a smile.

"Ok!"

"Now that we have the minerals of the moon, we no longer have to depend on the Big Three."

"I get angry when I think about it. These three giants raise prices whenever they want. The most outrageous one was that they raised our prices by 87% in one year!"

“The company almost didn’t survive that year!”

"It has been increasing for three consecutive years. The first year the price increased by 50%, the second year the price increased by 87%, and the third year the price increased by 43%!"

"It was like they were pinching our aorta and bleeding us to death. Unfortunately, we had no other options at that time!"

When he said this, Long Tu still felt very angry. Just thinking about it made him angry and upset.

"They have spotted our weakness and are raising prices recklessly. We are obviously the largest buyer, but we don't even have the power to negotiate. We can only let them raise prices and reduce production at will, and tear up contracts at will. If they don't want to sell to us, they won't sell to us."

"At that time, we begged them to raise the price less and sell us more iron ore, but it was difficult!"

Yu Junwei is also a veteran of the company. He followed Longtu to conquer the world and also experienced that crazy era.

Just thinking about it makes me grit my teeth in anger!
At this time, someone knocked on the door and walked in and said, "Chairman, BPB Mining Group has sent someone to our company and hopes to meet with you!"

"Someone from the BPB Mining Group?"

When Long Tu heard this, he immediately laughed happily: "Now there is a day when they will take the initiative to come to me."

“This must be seen!”

"Arrange a meeting room!"

"Yes!"

"Let's go and see the people from the BPB Mining Group and see what they have to say."

Long Tu, with a smile on his face, brought Yu Junwei to a conference room and immediately saw the representative of BPB Mining Group.

Three big-nosed foreigners and a few domestic salesmen with black hair and black eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Long!"

"I'm Voss, President of BPB Mining Group East Asia. I'm very happy to meet you."

Voss spoke fluent Chinese and took the initiative to speak.

"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Worth."

Long Tu smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the other party before saying, "I wonder what Mr. Voss is here for this time?"

"Mr. Long!"

"Your company is a very influential steel enterprise. We are very willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with you and sign a long-term supply agreement."

Voss was all smiles; this was the eighteenth large steel company he had visited.

But all ended in failure, and no one was willing to continue using their company's iron ore.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing what Voss said, Long Tu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

What a pleasure!
How many years have I waited for this day?

Think about the injustice and humiliation suffered in the past, and then look at how humble the people in the BPB Group are now.

Long Tu felt extremely happy.

Aren’t you guys awesome?
Can't you raise the price if you want to?
Aren't you guys high and mighty?
Now you finally know how to ask for help proactively, and now you finally know how to send salespeople to your door to discuss business?
"Mr. Voss!"

"I'm really sorry!"

"Your iron ore price is too expensive. We can't afford it." Long Tu said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Long, the price is negotiable."

"As long as you are willing to buy our iron ore, the price is negotiable, and we are willing to supply your company for a long time."

"Everyone knows that our iron ore is the best and highest grade in the entire industry."

Voss sighed slightly in his heart, but still tried his best.

There is no way. The world's largest iron ore buyers are all in this area. If we don't strive for orders here, we won't be able to sell it even if the price of iron ore rises to the sky.

What's more, we are now engaged in a price war with the Interstellar Mining Alliance, so we need orders from here even more.

"Sorry, let me correct you."

"Your iron ore is not the best right now. There are several interstellar mining groups whose iron ore is of much higher grade than yours, with better quality and lower price, and they can deliver it to your door."

Ryuno said with a smile.

"The resources on the moon belong to all mankind. The Interstellar Mining Alliance is stealing the wealth that belongs to all mankind. Their iron ore is illegal!"

When Voss heard this, his defense was immediately broken.

"illegal?"

"Who said it was illegal?"

Ryuno smiled happily and asked back.

"The whole world knows that this is illegal. The mineral resources on the moon are protected by law and belong to all mankind."

"You can't use illegal iron ore, because then the steel you produce will also be illegal."

Voss said seriously.

"worldwide?"

"How come we don't know?"

"Those laws you mentioned to protect the moon are too hard to even wipe our butts here."

“It’s not up to you to decide whether the steel we produce is illegal or not.”

Ryuno smiled. Maybe he had some concerns in the past, but now, who cares?

I just like the way they are unhappy with me but can't do anything to us.

"Mr. Long, what I mean is that if you buy iron ore from the Interstellar Mining Alliance, there will be many risks. The steel produced by your company cannot be sold internationally."

"But using our company's iron ore is different. It is completely legal and can be sold all over the world."

Voss took a deep breath, sorted himself out and said with a smile.

“Who says you can’t sell internationally?”

"Our steel sells quite well in many places."

Longtu looked at Voss playfully again and said, "You're going to be pissed off."

Thinking about the anger I suffered in the past, I feel so good now.

Of course the best thing is to watch them go bankrupt, to watch their iron ore rot in warehouses even after being mined, and to watch them never make a penny from iron ore again.

This is the coolest thing.

"Mr. Long, let's talk business. I came here with full sincerity."

Voss was so angry that he had nothing to say.

Now many countries and regions have turned to them for support.

But now Big Brother Fat Tiger has no way to deal with them. If it were in the past, he would have definitely dragged a group of younger brothers to beat them up.

But now, look at the several aerospace carriers cruising in the space, and you will immediately loosen your clenched fists.

"I'm telling you!"

“Even if your iron ore is cheaper, I will not use your iron ore anymore.”

"Your iron ore will all rot in the warehouse."

Ryuno looked at Voss and said very seriously.

With your iron ore?
I'm not that cheap.

In the past, he was arrogant and condescending, and would bleed us to death if he got the chance, but now he is begging us.

If we really use your iron ore, these bones will be as cheap as dog bones.

Moreover, the influence of the Interstellar Mining Alliance is huge, and it has officially notified all steel companies.

We use our own iron ore, which has preferential prices and guaranteed quality. We will definitely give priority to our own people, and in the future, when anyone needs steel, we will definitely give priority to our own steel companies.

First of all, we must be united and consistent within ourselves.

If you are so cheap as to use the iron ore from the Big Three, you will have no chance of making it in the business world.

With the same price and the same quality, if you still use iron ore from outsiders, you are a cheapskate and everyone will look down on you and cancel their cooperation with you.

This is no longer a simple business issue; it has risen to a higher level and height.

Who dares to use the ore from you three giants?

"you?"

After hearing this, Voss was suddenly overwhelmed by a deep sense of powerlessness.
