The Kangaroo Nation announced that the price of iron ore to China would be increased by 12%.
This was the information that Old Man Li had sent over.
There was also a huge and complicated list of data.
Although 12% was not a lot, it depended on the base number.
Just last year, China imported nearly 1.1 billion tons of iron ore, of which 670 million tons came from Kangaroo Country.
12% of the hundreds of billions of yuan of imported goods would be at least 40 to 50 billion yuan.
For China, 40 to 50 billion was a pure loss, but for the Kangaroo Nation, it was a pure profit.
"If I remember correctly, the Kangaroo Country had just raised its price.”
" In order to stabilize the price, we signed an agreement with the Kangaroo Nation to prevent excessive price increases," Yang Chen asked. Could it be that they tore up the agreement in order to raise the price?”
"You're right."
"They tore up the iron ore agreement signed last year and raised the price.”
"He also said that if we don't accept the price increase, we can forget about getting an iron ore.”
The agreement was negotiated.
There were strong legal constraints and credibility guarantees.
However, in order to please their master, the Kangaroo Kingdom did not care about any face.
This was not greed, but a slap to China's face.
"To be honest, China is really capable.”
Yang Chen mocked," China is the world's largest iron ore import country. Kangaroo Nation is the country that receives more than 60% of its iron ore. Yet, they are being held by the neck and slapped in the face."”
"Tsk tsk…"
Yang Chen's final words calmed Old Man Lee down.
"We canceled the order from Kangaroo Country and began to increase the supply from other partner countries.”
"And we are also looking for other suppliers to strive for a variety of channels so that we won't be stuck.”
"But it's hard to put out a fire nearby." Old Man Li sighed.”
Yang Chen added," The most frustrating thing is that it's hard to swallow this anger, but you can't find a place to vent it?”
Old Man Li nodded.
"If I told you that there are two ways to punish the Kangaroo Nation, would you like to hear it?" Yang Chen asked.”
Old Man Li sat down with a smile and took the initiative to make tea for Yang Chen.
His attitude was very clear.
Yang Chen raised a finger,"The first method is to bluff."”
"How so?" Old Man Li asked.”
"For example, a large-scale interruption of iron ore cooperation with the Kangaroo Country.”
"Another example is suddenly deepening iron ore cooperation with partners.”
"Another example is that our exploration team discovered a large high-quality iron ore in a friendly country.”
Old Man Li's eyes lit up when he heard Yang Chen's three examples.
The more Old Man Li thought about it, the more he felt that something was right. He said excitedly,"We are the number one financial backer of the Kangaroo Nation. If we reduce the iron ore cooperation on a large scale, they will cry in less than three months. On the other hand, we've always had a strict reserve quota. Let alone three months, we can even support it for a whole year.”
Unequal strength could easily lead to unequal trade results.
Huaxia had an obvious advantage in these aspects.
"The second one!"
Since the first method was so powerful, Old Man Li naturally looked forward to the second method even more.
Yang Chen replied,"The second method is to take drastic measures."”
"The question is how?"
Old Man Li couldn't understand this time.
"I don't know how to explain it specifically.”
"But that's my business. I can only promise you that within a year, the iron ore pricing power will be in China's hands." Yang Chen asked.”
"What?!"
Old Man Li almost jumped up.
What metal was the most indispensable in the world?
Anyone with a bit of intelligence would know that it was iron ore.
Iron ore was the foundation of industry and the foundation of development.
No country could develop without iron ore.
Controlling the pricing power of iron ore was no different from controlling the pricing power of crude oil.
"Are you serious?" Old Man Li asked.”
Yang Chen replied seriously,"I've never been so serious before."”
"Good!"
"Whatever you want, this old man will support you wholeheartedly.”
"If there are any questions or pressure from the higher-ups, this old man will help you withstand them.”
Old Man Li was Old Man Li after all.
When Yang Chen showed his cards, he showed his courage.
This was an attitude.
It was also a tacit understanding that did not need to be explained.
"Then it's settled."
" Hehe, looks like I have to find a position in a nearby university…"
Elder Lee didn't know many people in Peng City, so he instinctively wanted to talk to Yang Chen when he encountered something.
He didn't want such a surprise.
He watched Old Man Li leave.
Yang Chen did not relax and continued his research and development journey.
……
……
The next day.
"Group leader, your request is a scam!”
Tony rolled his eyes at the design requirements in front of him.
Yang Chen said shamelessly," It's nothing more than transforming the Iron Armor into the form of a marine creature. What's so difficult about it?"”
Yang Chen was doing this because of the agreement with Elder Li.
Iron ore pricing.
Yang Chen was not joking. Not only did he want to do it, but he also wanted to exterminate the Kangaroo Nation.
"Come at me if you have the ability."
" If you want to change the overall form, you have to study marine biology, ocean currents, and other unfamiliar knowledge. In addition, the power, circuit, and other systems have to be further improved. None of them can be done in one go.”
" I'm still at a loss about the design of the new Iron Armor," Tony said painfully." How could I have the mood to make things difficult for you?"”
"You still don't have a clue about the new Iron Armor?" Yang Chen asked.”
"Yes, I am."
"My head hurts just thinking about it. I don't even know which direction to design in.”
Tony pointed at his messy hair as if he was presenting evidence.
Yang Chen smiled and asked," If I can point out a new design direction for you, you will help me design a deep-sea intelligent machine. How about that?"”
