Chapter 449 Smashing Vale's Monopoly of Giant Ships

Su Su remembered something: "It is actually not a big deal to rely on the port of a large aircraft carrier. If a large cargo ship relies on the port of a difficult port, it is a big deal. Do Brother Qiang remember the iron ore war mentioned earlier?"

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "Of course I remember, the three giants of iron ore? What are the Vale in Brazil and the two in Australia."

Susu nodded: "Although they are both called the Big Three, Brazil's Vale is indeed much weaker. Brother Qiang knows the reason?"

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "Because he is Brazil?"

Su Su laughed in surprise: "Brother Qiang's answer is really unrefutable to refute me? Well, what I want to talk about is transportation. The transportation of Vale's mines to China is really a long way from Australia's mines to China, so Vale's mine prices are less competitive than Rio Tinto and BHP. In order to make up for the shortcomings in transportation, and monopolize sea transportation, Vale did a big deal and spent huge amounts of money to build 35 supergiant ships of 400,000 tons, which is also the largest bulk cargo ship in the world!"

Gan Ning patted her head and said embarrassedly: "It seems like this happened in 2007, but I only care about the warship and don't know the data of the cargo ship. However, such a large cargo ship has a draft of more than 20 meters. There are only a handicap that can be docked, right?"

Su Su sighed: "Yes, in China, there is only Dalian Port and Qingdao Port can stop. When these giants appeared, it really shocked the whole country of Chinese steel companies. Originally, China was controlled by others to buy iron ore, but now even the transportation link is monopolized by the other party, that's not a big insult? After all, we could discuss before that we could use our China COSCO Group to help him transport iron ore to at least earn some freight. Now, as soon as the big ship was out, COSCO was directly eliminated. By the way, COSCO is a giant in China's shipping industry."

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "That is to say, Vale's move is a double kill, and it has also created China's steel and China's shipping industry?"

Su Su said in a deep voice: "Yes, so it was even more shocking at that time that China COSCO Group and the China Shipowners Association - at this time, China must take the big move, Brother Qiang guess?"

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "You know that you can't guess this without knowledge."

Gan Ning smiled and said, "I have given a reminder."

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "Can these giant ships draw too deep and cannot rely on China's port?"

Gan Ning laughed: "You can't let him rely on it even if you can rely on it!"

Su Su clapped and smiled: "General Gan is right. China has a security ban on the grounds that it is not safe to enter the port for super giant ships! This reason is reasonable and there is no problem at all."

Wang Qiang was surprised: "What should they do?"

Susu sneered: "Hold on! Iron ore is not a liquid like oil, and it can be unloaded directly on the sea."

Wang Qiang was happy: "No way? Then just float hundreds of thousands of tons of goods on the sea?"

Su Su smiled and said, "I heard that this time, they had to transport it to Italy thousands of miles away."

Wang Qiang was shocked: "Is it possible that the whole world cannot find the port to stop?"

Su Su smiled and said, "Yes, so I had to pay for it again to repair a transit port that could stop ships in South Korea!"

Wang Qiang was happy: "The money from this fleet construction and the money from the dock repairs will make the Vale shit?"

Su Su sneered: "So Brother Qiang's answer was very correct before. Who said he was Brazil? He has no national strength and does not take the big customers seriously. I really think he can't be cured?"

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "It's still the trouble caused by greed?"

Gan Ning also smiled and said, "I don't understand. They have such a good iron ore and don't develop steel mills by themselves, but why do they have so much money to mess with the fleet?"

Su Su smiled and said, "After all, steel mills need technology. Maybe they think it's more convenient to sell mines."

Gan Ning shook his head and smiled, "I think Xiaowan beg for not much, so I switched to Jinda beg for food. What are these people saying?"

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "It seems that Australia also sells mines, and there are no steel mills? Why is that?"

Su Su smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, steelmaking requires a lot of water. Australia is just a desert, where does the water come from?"

Wang Qiang said ashamed: "So that's it!"

At this moment, Jiang Gan flipped the account book: "...Related news, according to the Wall Street Journal's June 4th news "Iron ore producers succumb to the Chinese market", China purchased two-thirds of the world's exported iron ore, and the higher the quality demand of China's iron ore, the higher the quality of China's steel companies. This is the result of China's transformation to a larger and more environmentally friendly steel company, and it is also the result of China's elimination of old steel mills using low-quality iron ore..."

"In order to cater to the Chinese market, international miners with difficulties in the crisis have to take risks in investing in new mines to produce better-quality iron ore. Vale re-activates idle factories, BHP Billiton launches high-end deposits, and FMG begins to close low-end iron ore business... Those companies that specialize in exporting low-quality iron ore are no longer favored by investors..."

Wang Qiang was happy: "Is this how China has completely dominated the iron ore market?"
