Chapter 392 Price Roller Coaster
End of May.
Tianzhu Guangsu reached a series of economic cooperation agreements with America, the European Union, the Far East, and Russia, completely opening up the market.
American companies wielding dollars also quickly invested heavily and wooed local Brahmin and Kshatriya families in the areas around Mumbai and Delhi.
These Brahmin and Kshatriya families are not fools. At least a large number of them are sober-minded and are willing to cooperate with America and other powers.
One more competitor means they have one more option to avoid being controlled by Homo sapiens.
As a result, enterprises from a number of powerful countries developed rapidly in various parts of India, and a large amount of money was invested in this magical land of South Asia.
Regarding this situation, Sapiens Company remained very calm.
Cash crop subsidies and low-priced food dumping continue to be maintained.
at the same time.
Sapiens Company quietly opened up a second battlefield.
The major iron ore producers in Kangaroo Country were forced to reduce production at their mines because Homo sapiens were dumping large amounts of iron ore at low prices on the international market.
After more than half a year of production cuts, the iron ore production in Kangaroo Country has been reduced by 70-80%.
The large iron mines in Western Australia have been sealed, leaving a large number of miners unemployed, and mining, beneficiation and transportation equipment out of service and placed in temporary warehouses.
Pandora, who is in charge of the Oceania branch, is currently enjoying afternoon tea in Sydney.
She looked at her watch and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
As a "white person" who looks like mixed race, Pandora looks very ordinary and opened a bookstore in Sydney.
Although the Black Ships and the Kangaroo Country were very wary of the employees of the Sapiens Company, the monitoring of immigrants from Asia was greatly strengthened.
But Pandora did not come from Asia, but from Latin America. In addition, her white appearance meant that she was not listed as a key target of attention by the locals.
She looked at the deserted fallen leaves on the street, with only calmness in her eyes.
It is winter in the southern hemisphere at this time.
Suddenly a white man appeared in front of her: "Beautiful Anna, are you free tonight?"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in you." Pandora waved her hand.
The man kept insisting, "I went to the Northern Territory for a trip some time ago and collected a lot of flower specimens. Are you really going to come and have a look?"
"I only like flowers for a moment."
After a while of struggling, the man fled.
Pandora looked at the man's back and said to herself: The Northern Territory has completed the arrangement work.
At the same time.
In the BHP Billiton mining area in Western Australia, tens of thousands of cockroaches quietly entered various equipment warehouses and began to cause trouble with precision.
The security guard in charge did not notice anything unusual and continued playing games on his computer as usual without checking the equipment at all.
After all, the warehouses in this kind of mining area are surrounded by wilderness and no outsiders ever get close to them.
The security guards have become accustomed to the long-term stability. They all know that nothing will go wrong in the equipment warehouse, so they just play games, chat and eat.
In fact, even if they went to check now, they would not be able to find any trace of cockroaches.
On a large transport vehicle.
A dozen cockroaches entered the gearbox and sprayed some liquid on the gears. The liquid contained bacteria that can corrode metal, accelerate the rusting of the gears, and reduce the strength of the gear teeth.
Of course, these bacteria are disposable and can only reproduce for 6 generations. After 6 generations, the bacteria will enter a state of self-destruction.
In addition to gears, drive shafts, fuel tanks, engines, brake systems, etc., have not escaped the cockroaches' clutches.
Although the corrosive bacteria sprayed by cockroaches take some time to cause corrosive damage, these devices are now gathering dust in the warehouse, so time is not a problem.
What's more, the Field Support Department also knows the limits and will not destroy these equipments directly, but will reduce their service life.
In fact, as long as the protective layer of some parts is damaged, the internal corrosion rate will accelerate.
At the same time, some cockroaches are spraying plastic-decomposing fungi everywhere.
90% of Western Australia's iron ore mining areas are concentrated around the Turner River. The area is located near the Tropic of Capricorn and has a typical tropical desert climate and tropical savanna climate.
This climate is very suitable for the reproduction of plastic-decomposing fungi, especially since iron ore mining requires a large amount of fresh water, which will increase the air humidity around the mine and further increase the reproduction rate of fungi.
As long as some hidden damage is left on these mining equipment, they will definitely malfunction frequently when they are restarted.
These large-scale mining equipment are not only incredibly expensive to build, but also very expensive to maintain and repair.
Homo sapiens are full of malice towards the iron ore producers in Kangaroo Country.
After destroying these guys' mining equipment, we can start to raise international iron ore prices by the end of the year, prompting the Kangaroo Country's iron ore producers to expand their production capacity.
When they found that the equipment kept malfunctioning, they had only two options: one was to continue repairing it, and the other was to purchase new equipment.
After they purchased new equipment and expanded production capacity, Homo sapiens once again lowered the price of iron ore, causing these Kangaroo Country iron ore producers to lose all their money.
Just play it a few more times, going back and forth over and over again.
BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale of Brazil will certainly not be able to withstand such violent fluctuations and will eventually have to go bankrupt and restructure, or rely on the assistance of America to survive.
Not only iron ore, but also other minerals and food can be operated in this way.
First, raise the price to attract the other party to increase their investment, and then when the other party is about to reap the rewards, lower the price directly, causing the other party to lose all their money.
If you want to disrupt the layout of the Homo sapiens company, there is only one way, that is to completely block the international trade channels of the Homo sapiens company and not have any economic dealings with the Homo sapiens company.
The problem is that the current international situation is not determined by America alone.
Homo sapiens companies account for a large proportion of global trade, and it is difficult for companies in Kangaroo Country to avoid Homo sapiens companies.
Moreover, Sapiens also controls the global steel industry. Even steel companies in the Far East find it difficult to escape the influence of Sapiens due to their nature of processing imported materials.
The remaining Nippon Steel, Posco Steel, and steel mills in Europe and North America have been squeezed to the point of suffocation by the steel produced by Sapiens.
After all, if we don’t use the iron ore from the Sapiens company, the production cost will be much higher.
However, the iron ore from the Homo sapiens company cannot support the iron ore industry in the Kangaroo Country.
Once problems arise with the Kangaroo Country's iron ore producers, the iron ore industry will be abandoned for two or three years and it will cost several times more to restart it.
After all, mining and transportation equipment are depreciating, and industrial workers will change jobs. Unless someone is willing to support them for a long time, even if they are restarted, their production costs will be difficult to compete with those of Homo sapiens.
When the iron ore producers in Kangaroo Country are eliminated, there will be no way for the world to check the Homo sapiens companies from doing whatever they want in the iron ore industry.
Price roller coaster, also known as cyclical price fluctuations.
For companies that adopt the free market model, they can cope with the impact of a price roller coaster, but they cannot resist the suppression of giant companies during the price roller coaster.
Samsung initially adopted a price roller coaster approach in storage and electronic products, defeating a number of competitors in that continuous cycle.
They can't even deal with a pseudo-giant company like Samsung.
Not to mention real giants like Sapiens.
Once they enter the rhythm set by Sapiens companies, their businesses will be at the mercy of others during the price roller coaster cycle.
Now the Homo Sapiens company is setting traps, quietly waiting for prey to step into them.
