Leng Gang Village, Miaojie Township, wugang city, which is under the jurisdiction of Pingdingshan City, is about ten kilometers away from Wugang City, and belongs to a typical hilly area. The China-Canada Mining Office is at the foot of this mountain. Li Gang, who has been on the rich list twice, "hides" his main assets here.
Next to the China-Canada Mining Office is the newly built China-Canada Mining Concentrator in 2007. The workshop is spacious and magnificent, and precious tree species such as camphor tree are planted in the workshop. "A camphor tree is worth several thousand dollars." Zhang Junjie, deputy general manager of the company, said that since the completion of the factory in 2007, more than 2 million yuan has been invested in the greening of the factory, and the total investment will reach 4 million yuan when the greening is completed, which silently shows the "wealth" of China-Canada mining industry.
According to Zhang Junjie, Sino-Canadian Mining is a company that only focuses on production without considering sales. All the molten iron produced is supplied to Wugang, an iron and steel enterprise in the same city, namely Wuyang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Hebei Iron and Steel Group. "We are equivalent to two workshops in Wugang, providing them with semi-finished products." Zhang Junjie said.
According to statistics from Zhang Junjie, in 2007, China and Canada paid taxes 1. 654.38+07 billion yuan. In the first three quarters of 2008, the tax paid has reached 654.38+0. 800 million yuan, may exceed 200 million yuan in the whole year, and enter the top six taxpayers in Pingdingshan City. Because the products of Sino-Canadian Mining do not enter the terminal retail market and are relatively low-key, Sino-Canadian Mining and Li Gang have always been little known.
From workers to trade tycoons
Li Gang was born in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, and his parents are employees of Qiqihar Iron and Steel Plant. When Li Gang/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, under the national policy of "supporting Wugang", Li Gang's parents joined Wugang Company and moved their family to Henan. From 65438 to 0980, Li Gang began to work in Wugang Company. A colleague familiar with Li Gang in WISCO said, "He is smart and self-motivated."
1990, Li Gang resigned from Wugang and started to do steel trade. "In those years, the triangular debt business was more popular. The so-called steel trade is to buy scrap iron and sell it to Wugang Company. Wugang Company did not give money, and then sold the steel wire for money. " Gao Minsheng, a businessman who once operated steel products in wugang city, said.
Li Gang's cleverness has been fully reflected in this triangular debt business, and Li Gang's first bucket of gold was earned by doing this business.
From 65438 to 0997, Li Gang founded Wugang Huayu Materials Co., Ltd. ... In September 2002, the company established Wugang Zhongjia Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. with a total initial investment of 1. 6.5 billion yuan, and then invest 65.438+0.2 billion yuan for the second phase expansion. The annual output of molten iron for steelmaking reached 6,543,800 tons, and Li Gang's career began to take off.
Reveal wealth11600 million yuan
How to calculate the wealth value of Li Gang's family of 654.38+06 billion yuan is unclear in the two rich lists. Since China-Canada Iron and Steel Company, Li Gang has successively registered and established a number of iron and steel enterprises, such as China-Canada Mining, Jingsan Concentrate and Shuanghong Iron and Steel, all of which are chaired by Li Gang, and on this basis, he founded Wugang China-Canada Group. Li Gang's wealth is mainly concentrated in two core companies: China-Canada Mining and China-Canada Steel.
Sino-Canadian Mining is the core asset of Sino-Canadian Group, and the Sino-Canadian business was originally owned by Li Gang. It was not until 2008 that Li Gang's Sino-Canadian Mining Company split its shares: Li Gang held 45%, while his wife Li Baoyu and his brother Li Kai held 35% and 20% respectively.
From an ordinary worker to a billionaire, what is the secret of Li Gang's success? People familiar with Li Gang classified his success as a "triple jump", and the steel trade gave Li Gang the first bucket of gold, completing the original accumulation of capital. The second key point of Li Gang's career was the establishment of China-Canada Steel Co., Ltd. ... After accumulating the first bucket of gold, Li Gang keenly felt that the steel industry contained huge development opportunities, and the China-Canada Steel established in 2002 brought rich returns to Li Gang. From 2002 to 2007, China's economy grew rapidly for five years. The growth rate of GDP has been kept at double digits, and the price of steel has been rising all the way. It's hard to make money. Li Gang's steel industry began to extend upstream.
Better luck is yet to come. With the rise of steel prices, the price of raw material iron ore has also started to rise. In 2004, Li Gang saw the huge business opportunities in the iron ore mining industry and decided to further enter the iron ore field upstream of the steel industry. As a result, China-Canada mining came into being. In 2007, China-Canada mining industry entered large-scale production, and the price of iron ore also rose to an alarming height. In the international market, Brazil's Vale and Australia's "Two Extensions", the three giants of the world's iron ore industry, increased their prices continuously in 2006 and 2007, and iron ore mining became a hot profiteering industry.
After the large-scale production of China-Canada mining industry in 2007, Li Gang completed a perfect "triple jump" and wealth began to "expand in scale".
