Chapter 168 Rise
In Dalian, Liaodong Peninsula.
This year also has an extraordinary year.
As the general manager of Dalian Ore Exchange, Li Hongwen and Uralkli (Ural) and the president of Bela Milkskail (Belarus Company), reached a cooperation agreement on futures listing.
Canpotex Company (Maple Leaf Potassium Fertilizer Company), Uralkli (Ural) and Bela Milk Skail (Belarus Company) are the world's three largest raw materials manufacturers of potassium and potassium fertilizers.
Among them, Maple Leaf Potassium Fertilizer Company is a joint company. They are jointly established by major potash fertilizer companies in North America, with an annual potash fertilizer of 9.46 million tons.
The Ural Company produces 6 million tons of potassium fertilizer annually, while the Belarus Company produces 4.17 million tons of potassium fertilizer annually.
Before 2009, these three companies accounted for 32%, 20%, and 13% of the global potassium fertilizer and potassium raw material market, and together accounted for 65% of the global production.
Other manufacturers either have small outputs or are similar to China. Although the output is quite large, they are not enough for themselves.
This is an industry that is more highly monopolized than iron ore, because foreign potassium fertilizer companies have formed an alliance to completely monopolize the market.
However, as Blue Star Mining, a subsidiary of Blue Times, sold potassium sulfate to the market on a large scale, the consequence was that imported potassium fertilizer fell from about 4,400 yuan per ton to about 2,100 yuan per ton, and the price was directly cut in half.
Under this circumstance, the International Potash Fertilizer Alliance, which had already had many internal contradictions, had huge differences. In addition, the Maple Leaf Potash Fertilizer Company in the American market, and with the support of ABCD behind it, they were unwilling to surrender to the Dalian Ore Exchange.
However, the Ural Company and the Belarus Company are not in good condition, but they have to choose.
At present, the potassium fertilizer production of Blue Star Mining and Beijing Enterprises Resources is continuing to rise, with a pace that swept the global potassium fertilizer industry.
Near Dalian Ore Exchange, Good Time Hotel is a business hotel under Time Information.
In the private room on the third floor.
Peter Romanov, the president of Ural Company, looked at the Dalian Ore Exchange not far away, with a somewhat silent and helpless expression, and subconsciously shook his red wine glass.
Minsk, the president of Belarus Company, who was half lying on the sofa, was also very distressed.
After these days of negotiations, they paid a huge price to be listed on the Dalian Ore Exchange.
The newly opened international ore futures sector is prepared for them. If they don’t come to the Dalian Ore Exchange to list, they will lose most of the international market.
Minsk poured himself a glass of Changyu wine and picked up the wine glass: "Peter, don't worry, come and have a drink."
Peter shook his head, took a sip of red wine, and shrugged and said, "I just thought that the dying struggle of those North American pirates can only be used as turtles." :(/
"No one expected that the world's potassium fertilizer industry would be swallowed by Chinese people in this way." The swallowing of Minsk was indeed correct.
Because as the price of listing on the Dalian Ore Exchange, Ural Company accepted capital injections from Sinochem Group and Luxi Chemical, and was held by Sinochem Group for 21% and Shandong Chemical Holding 15% of the shares.
Similarly, Belarus Company did not escape the disaster, and was held by Qinghai Lake Salt for 13% and United Water held 22% of the shares.
After being invested, the two companies can sell potassium fertilizers and other minerals they produce on the Dalian Ore Exchange.
Of course, there is no way to think about the domestic market in China, but in the international market, they can directly purchase low-priced raw materials from China to impact the market of other international fertilizer companies.
In fact, the current international fertilizer market has undergone tremendous changes. Sinochem Group, Shandong Chemical, Stanley, Qinghai Lake Salt and other companies have formed the Spinning Pan-Pacific Fertilizer Alliance under the integration of Blue Star Mining and Beijing Enterprises, and used low-price dumping to greatly impact the market share of other fertilizer companies.
Due to the relatively concentrated potassium fertilizer resources, many areas with poor potassium fertilizer resources are naturally willing to purchase fertilizers from the Pan Pacific Fertilizer Alliance.
Now the joining of Ural Company and Belarus Company has directly disintegrated the International Fertilizer Alliance, which was already on the verge of collapse, leaving only the Maple Leaf Potash Fertilizer Company to resist the Pan-Pacific Fertilizer Alliance alone.
Song Sega, president of Blue Star Mining, has made a statement that it is expected to increase production to 3 million tons of potassium fertilizer per month in the second half of this year, basically to turn the pace of other potassium fertilizer companies.
In addition, the loss of China, the world's largest market, is now in a loss-making state. If ABCD hadn't kept milking behind her, it would have probably not last long.
Not to mention BHP, Rio Tinto and Vale, which are also struggling to survive.
China's steel production continues to soar, but their iron ore supply continues to decrease because many steel companies directly broke the contract.
With the addition of Posco iron, Nippon Steel also changed about 75% of the raw materials to sintered sand from China Steel Corporation.
The so-called sintered sand is pure iron that has been simply sintered, which only destroys the nanoprecision of pure iron powder and prevents the outflow of nano-pure iron powder. Five steel companies, including Tonggang, have obtained licenses for exporting sintered sand.
Although Posco iron is made, Nippon Steel does not want to see the three major international ore suppliers fall, but the situation is now stronger than others.
If you don’t buy sintered sand and smelting steel, the consequence is that you are killed by the Chinese steel company, because the costs of both sides are not on the same order of magnitude, and there is no way to compete.
His eyes returned to Minsk and Peter.
After drinking, they issued instructions to domestic factories to continue production, but the output was compressed to about one-third.
After all, the current price of potassium fertilizers is sluggish, and production is a loss. Naturally, we must gradually reduce the production volume. After the Pan Pacific Fertilizer Alliance, we will dry the potassium fertilizer in the Maple Leaf Country. At that time, the global fertilizer industry will be occupied by the Pan Pacific Fertilizer Alliance, and the price will naturally be formulated by Pan Pacific Fertilizer.
The Chinese mining giant composed of Bluestar Mining, United Regeneration and Beijing Enterprises Resources has changed the global mining landscape in more than half a year.
This change has also caused significant changes in the world pattern.
You should know that China is a country with relatively poor resources, especially with very insufficient per capita resources, which is also a huge shortcoming.
The rise of the three major mining giants has allowed China's resources to be self-held, which is a very terrible thing.
Because this means that the strategic significance of the island chain blockade has been weakened by half.
Now the needs of oil and international trade will be affected, while others can basically maintain self-sufficiency.
In the general manager's office of the exchange.
Li Changfu, Secretary-General of the China Mining Association, was discussing the restructuring of the China Mining Association with Li Hongwen, Song Sejia, the general manager of United Regeneration and the general manager of Beijing Enterprises Resources.
After all, the technology of the three major mining industries is too powerful. If they want to deal with a certain ore variety and directly use low-price dumping, they can destroy the entire industry.
The China Mining Association did not join the three giants. There was nothing before, but now it seems too embarrassing. After all, if Blue Star Mining sneezes, it may cause a collective cold in the world's mineral trade.
Now the existence of the three mining giants has become a trump card and has an important influence.
