Shenhao started after the college entrance examination

An Liang had just announced the profit status of his investment plan for Apple in the Tianshang Bai Yujing Club WeChat group when he received a private message from Zhao Wanxi.

Zhao Wanxi: The price of iron ore in Da'ao has increased again. What do you think?

An Liang: Da'ao is targeting us?

Zhao Wanxi: Yes, Australia is our most important iron ore import source.

An Liang: Wait a moment, I'll check the situation. Er

Zhao Wanxi: Okay.

An Liang ordered Renyi Security Company's No. 4 Tianji Divine Calculator to collect relevant information, while he searched for news on the Internet.

After a while, An Liang found information on the Internet. It was probably that Da'ao wanted to make more money, so it used its status as the largest raw material supplier to forcefully increase the price of iron ore.

This has happened before!

When the Xia Kingdom and Dayao Country were negotiating for iron ore, due to the Xia Country team's misunderstandings, Xia 19 Country ultimately spent an extra 700 billion Xia Country dollars to purchase Dayao Country's iron ore.

Yes!

A total of 700 billion Xia Guoyuan!

Da'ao, which had tasted the benefits before, is now preparing to cause trouble against Xia.

After An Liang finished reading the news, he sent a message to Zhao Wanxi.

An Liang: What you mean is that the price of steel in the commodity futures market is going to rise. Can we go long in the futures market?

Zhao Wanxi: Rolling Eyes, Rolling Eyes, Rolling Eyes Twenty

Zhao Wanxi rolled her eyes. Although the scale of the steel futures market is not small, the possibility of making hundreds of billions from the steel futures market is very small.

Zhao Wanxi: Looking at the problem from another angle, what do you think about targeting the country of Australia?

An Liang vaguely understood what Zhao Wanxi meant.

An Liang: Is there any benefit?

Zhao Wanxi: Hum no

Zhao Wanxi: You understand it yourself!

Of course An Liang understands the benefits. Although it seems that there are no benefits on the surface, there are some benefits that need to be thought about by oneself, just like the cooperation between An Liang and Huang Guoxiang.

An Liang: It’s quite difficult!

An Liang: Tai'ao has natural advantages.

The Xia Kingdom really needs the iron ore from the Great Ao Country. The Xia Kingdom is a major importer of ores, and the Great Ao Country is very precise on this point.

An Liang: If we have to teach Da'ao a lesson, there should be considerable losses.

Zhao Wanxi: What are your plans?

An Liang: I’ll make some plans first.

Zhao Wanxi: Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early.

An Liang: You should also go to bed early.

After An Liang finished the exchange with Zhao Wanxi, he did not think further about how to deal with Da'ao. He yawned and chose to rest at the Nina Hotel next door.

After all, it’s not appropriate to go back to the school dormitory at this point!

The next day, Friday.

An Liang woke up just before noon. He had a light lunch at Nina Hotel while checking the information sent by No. 4 Tianji Divine Calculation.

Xia's main channel for importing iron ore is Da'ao, which is also the world's largest iron ore supplier. In 2019, Xia's country imported 665 million tons of iron ore from Da'ao, with an average price of Nearly US$120 per ton, the annual market size is close to US$80 billion, equivalent to more than 520 billion Xiaguo yuan, accounting for 67% of Xiaguo’s iron ore import share in 2019.

Under such circumstances, if Da'ao wants to increase the price of iron ore, it is actually just deliberately trying to make more money.

In the data collected by the No. 4 Tianji Divine Calculation, An Liang checked the distribution of global iron ore reserves, and found that Xia State was also a country with large iron ore reserves!

The four largest countries in terms of global iron ore reserves are as follows:

Xia's iron ore reserves are 21 billion tons;

Basi's iron ore reserves are 23 billion tons;

Beixiong's iron ore reserves have reached 25 billion tons

, and finally The ferocious country of Australia has the largest iron ore reserves in the world, reaching 50 billion tons. This data was only from three years ago.

The Bald Eagle Country only has a pitiful 2.9 billion tons, which is indeed a bit rare.

Although Xia is one of the four countries with the largest iron ore reserves in terms of iron ore reserves, the iron ore also has an iron content and grade.

The grade of iron ore in Xia Kingdom is about 34%, and the grade of iron ore in Da'ao Country is as high as 48%563. For the same weight of iron ore, the iron ore of Da'ao Country contains more iron.

The grade of Baqi iron ore is even higher, reaching a level of 52%. Even higher is the iron ore in Beixiong Country, with a grade of 56%.

However, in addition to the grade of iron ore, there is also the issue of mining difficulty.

Among the four countries with the largest iron ore reserves, iron ore mining in the Northern Bear Country is the most difficult, because the winter in the Northern Bear Country is icy and snowy, which is very unfriendly to mining.

After all, in the freezing winter, the ground is extremely hard due to cold and ice. Under such circumstances, the iron ore reserves in the Northern Bear Country are obviously relatively large and the grade is very high, but they cannot expand the scale.

Next is the Xia Kingdom. The iron ore in the Xia Kingdom is not only relatively difficult to mine, but also of relatively low grade. It is tasteless and it is a pity to discard it.

If domestic iron ore is forcibly mined, the cost of mining and smelting combined will even exceed the cost of imported iron ore from overseas, so Xia State is more willing to import iron ore.

It is precisely for this reason that Da'ao Guo has taken good care of Xia Guo in the iron ore procurement cooperation project! _
