Chapter Summary
Regarding the price of iron ore, Liu Ning had calculated that there was indeed no advantage at present, mainly because the investment was too large. If Liu Ning wants to engage in a price war with them, he absolutely cannot drive them all down. If the ferocious beasts are given the opportunity, they are very likely to cross the city wall because of these weapons on the city wall.
Regarding the price of iron ore, Liu Ning had calculated that there was indeed no advantage at present, mainly because the investment was too large. Once his period of operation was over, there would be less need for external operating expenses, and his costs would be much lower at that time. However, other mining groups were different, as all their mines were located below 5,000 meters.
Everyone knows that for every 100 meters of depth, the mining cost increases by 1%. So their current mining cost is definitely around 30,000 yuan. If it were less than 30,000 yuan, they would probably be unable to make ends meet.
If Liu Ning wants to engage in a price war with them, he absolutely cannot drive them all down. Wild minerals are much more desirable than those in cities, mainly because there are more unexploited minerals in those areas. Therefore, Liu Ning has an absolute advantage in this regard.
If these people are accommodating, Liu Ning naturally won't engage in a price war with them. But if you go too far, then let's see who's more powerful.
There are no winners in a price war; it's a Pyrrhic victory. Everyone knows that. Even if Liu Ning can control his mining costs to below 5,000 yuan, that's a matter for the future. His current mining costs are not much different from those of others.
Therefore, Liu Ning also had to make a profit. Without enough profit, the subsequent investments would probably be nothing but empty talk. Although Liu Ning could continue to put money in, after listening to Zhao Wudi's words, he realized that he had been caught in a huge vortex. So Liu Ning had to be careful with his money and did just that.
Try not to throw your money into the water bottle. If these things involve political reasons, business matters will have to take a backseat. So Liu Ning has to see how they play their game, if it really comes down to sacrifice.
Liu Ning was definitely the first person to be sacrificed, and he was very clear about this. He would never allow such a thing to happen, so he knew exactly what he had to do.
Other mining groups are also observing Liu Ning. They don't know what Liu Ning's current situation is. After all, 500 tons a day is not a lot. What does 500 tons mean to them?
If Liu Ning's shipments reach 100,000 tons, that's no laughing matter; it will have a global impact. Because of this, other mining groups will be rendered powerless, a fact they all understand very clearly.
If Liu Ning continues to increase its shipments, they will definitely fight back, because by then Liu Ning will have already taken a bite out of their market share. No matter what price level they set, Liu Ning may still affect their sales. So 100,000 tons is like a threshold; as long as Liu Ning doesn't reach that number...
Then they probably won't say a word. If Liu Ning exceeds that number, those people won't be able to tolerate it anymore, and they will have to launch a large-scale attack on the whole matter.
The first day of sales was sure to be a great start, as everyone wanted to make good connections here. Some people even planned to buy all of the hundreds of tons of goods. Liu Ning and his team had also set a standard for delivery, with each person only allowed to buy 100 tons. The rest would have to be snapped up by the crowd.
If all of Liu Ning's goods were sold to one person, then that person would not need to worry about price gouging once they bought them all. Therefore, Liu Ning would never ruin his mining group because of such a thing. Although there would be a profit in the short term, it would not be beneficial in the long run. Liu Ning is a person with a long-term vision.
I would never do such a thing. After doing this, Liu Ning took a look at the building materials of the city wall. After all, we need to start preparing for some things. The entire city wall covers an area of 2.35 million square meters. If the construction is not up to standard, then these things will probably never belong to us.
It would be a wasted investment, so Liu Ning is feeling a bit heartbroken, since each square meter on the city wall costs over 300,000 yuan.
When Liu Ning heard this number, he immediately felt like he was about to collapse. This was an extremely costly expense. If it were to continue like this, the total investment would be over 700 billion yuan. Who could afford such an investment, especially since this was just the investment in the city wall?
If various problems arise after construction, and the steel plant cannot be put into production, then all the money could be wasted. However, Zhao Wudi also told Liu Ning that there would be 100% no problem with this matter. Since Zhao Wudi dared to guarantee this, it meant that...
That means they've given him peace of mind, so Liu Ning thought he could invest the money. But after investing the money, Liu Ning still had some other ideas to come, and all of these ideas had to be realized.
Otherwise, it will not benefit anyone. Everyone can see the current situation very clearly. If we can do these things well, everyone will be extremely happy.
When Liu Ning was calculating these numbers, he actually forgot another number: these numbers were only for the construction of the city wall. Once the city wall was built, a lot of weapons and equipment would have to be put on it. Why wouldn't the ferocious beasts dare to approach the city in a hurry?
The reason is that there are many weapons on the city wall. Even if they are thousands of meters away, if the weapons on the city wall open fire, it is very easy to kill them. Everyone is very clear about this. If the ferocious beasts are given the opportunity, they are very likely to cross the city wall because of these weapons on the city wall.
Therefore, the ferocious beasts have absolutely no chance. That's the current situation. If they wanted to arm themselves, it would cost even more money. Liu Ning stole all the weapons from the city walls back then, so he naturally knows how much those weapons are worth.
However, these weapons all require installation fees, and with all sorts of wiring, the total cost would be astronomical. Liu Ning needed to see this, otherwise some things would be difficult to do.
