Donghua Group, Chen Lidong became famous.

In Western Australia, he became a representative of "foolish people" and "rich people". In China, he was criticized as a rich young man who sucks blood from the country and spends time abroad.

But Donghua Zhong didn't pay much attention to the chairman's behavior. That kid was full of calculations and was definitely planning a big deal.

During the Huaxia board of directors election this year, the general manager made sure of three things: not depreciating the RMB, activating the economy to stimulate domestic demand, and taking three years to get state-owned enterprises out of trouble.

After Chen Shujian attended the Yenching Conference, he went to Hanzhong City again, where the main leaders of the local government came to receive him.

During the dinner, Wang Tiemin, the general manager of Hanjiang Ironworks, blushed and held a glass of wine and said: "Brother, I know you are kind and not as rich and unkind as some newspapers say. Thousands of children of our Hanjiang Ironworks have been taken care of by Donghua."

Very good. Now I have thousands of employees here who have skills and a lot of strength. On behalf of thousands of people, I would like to offer you a glass of wine and implore Donghua to take you under your wing, so that we can succeed in whatever we do. I will do it first as a token of respect!"

After saying that, Wang Tiemin drank more than three ounces of white wine in one gulp.

Chen Shujian looked at the glass of wine floating in front of him and wanted to drink it, but didn't dare.

However, today Wang Tiemin also brought two vice presidents, who took turns to fight, and they still fed Chen Shujian too much. Chen Shujian got down and slammed the table and said: Hanjiang Iron Works, I accept it!

At the same time in Yanjing, Zhang Xuedong is signing a land transfer agreement with the Yanjing Haidong District Government. Donghua Electronics has obtained the right to use 412 acres of industrial land at a price of 124.9 million yuan.

In Panshan, Kong Fanjie also signed a land transfer agreement with the municipal government and secured 2,000 acres of industrial land on the east side of the refractory material factory to build a cement plant and a prefabricated parts factory. The actual transaction price was only 20,000 yuan per mu.

At the Qinyu Municipal Government Hotel, Chen Liheng was signing an entrustment agreement for the purchase of services on behalf of Donghua Mining Company. Party B is the Qinyu Mineral Hydrology Engineering Geology Brigade of Zhao Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. The content of the agreement is: Party A entrusts Party B to obtain prospecting services

Changlong County has the right to carry out geological exploration, and the entrusted business fee totals 5 million yuan.

Party B’s representative, Zhang Zhiqiang, captain of the Qinyu Geology Team, smiled from ear to ear: We have finally started to eat meat. The employees in the team have been miserable in the past few years, especially the mining team. They have been unable to get business for a long time. Many people have gone to the streets to kick three

It's turn.

The business commission fee of 5 million yuan only requires drilling a few wells in the mountains and taking cores. Regardless of whether the ore is found or not, the money will be allocated according to the progress. Excluding labor, equipment, transportation and other expenses, the team can save at least 1 million yuan.

, the office building and related facilities can also be improved.

Chen Lidong did not participate in some of the actions at home. Here in Western Australia, he was punching and kicking, setting up a big mess.

At this time, Donghua Group and Anmei Sen had already registered a company in Western Australia with a capital of 8 million Australian dollars. The legal representative was Virgil, a native of Sam, a furry bear.

The company's office is located on the north bank of the Swan River and on the south side of Wellington Square, which is the most prosperous area in the business district.

The company's logo is two letters: dh, the full name is donghua metals group ltd, which means Donghua Metal Group Co., Ltd.

To the east of the company's headquarters, not far away is the Chinese Consulate General in Western Australia. On the west side, about two kilometers away, is the iron ore branch of another global mining giant in Pease. This giant is: bhp

, the full name is Broken Hill Prorietary, literally translated as Broken Hill Company, usually referred to as Broken Hill Company.

BHP is headquartered in Mooreburn, Queensland, Australia.

Where is the capital of Kangaroo Country?

I'll give you three answers: Sydney, Mooreburn, and Canberra.

It is estimated that many people will choose the first two.

A few decades ago, the capital of Kangaroo Country was Moore. While Sydney never became the capital, there was a fierce battle with Moore for the capital.

The snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fisherman benefited. When Sydney and Melbourne were in tit-for-tat, the politicians chose the low-key Canberra, so now the capital of Kangaroo Country is Canberra.

When bhp established its headquarters, Mooreburn was still the capital of Kangaroo Country.

This is a company with a history of more than 100 years and a well-known multinational company mainly engaged in oil and minerals.

If the global iron ore industry companies are listed in a row, BHP can already take the lead.

Three years later, it will merge with Billiton to form Broken Hill Proprietary Billiton Ltd., becoming one of the three largest mining companies in the world.

The other two are the Tanshui Valley of the Balaz Kingdom and the Lito of the British Kingdom.

Among them, the Australian headquarters of Lito Company is also located in Mooreburn, and their subsidiary in Western Australia is Hamelis Mining Company, which is the company that purchased the Donghua 97 mine car mentioned in the previous chapter.

Hamelis Mining Company has many minerals in Western Australia. Among them, the Channar Iron Mine reached a cooperation with Sinosteel Group in 1987. Sinosteel Group invested in the development of the Channar Iron Mine.

Ten years later, Bit and Bit will launch an acquisition plan from their rival Lito, asking for hundreds of billions of dollars. Finally, the two giants reached an agreement to integrate infrastructure, personnel and equipment, and cooperate to operate the iron ore industry in Western Australia.

Now that Donghua has stepped in, will Blue Star Mining continue to follow the pace of another life?

...........

These days, Virgil and Wu Weiguo are busy with one thing, which is buying houses and recruiting employees.

Affected by the Asian financial crisis last year, here in Pease, due to the Sun Country, Korean companies have reduced investment, withdrawn funds, and laid off employees, and the economic and employment situation is relatively difficult.

Donghua came to invest at this opportunity.

The low-price auctions at previous trade fairs have made Donghua famous. Everyone knows that this company has obtained 15 million Australian dollars from the auction of machinery and equipment. Maybe hanging out here can find a way out of the bank statement.

Some companies have also begun to come to consult, with the main purpose of attracting investment: "I have a mine and you have money, do you want to make an appointment?"

Most of the people who came to solicit sponsorship came back disappointed. Donghua said very loudly: We are going to acquire a company with mining rights.

Those people who came to seduce Donghua wanted to win Donghua's investment, not to sell themselves or be controlled, so most of them left disappointed.

Secretly, Virgil is entrusting the Australian branch of McGlynn Investment Bank to screen suitable investment targets.

McGlynn Bank is Australia's No. 1 investment bank and the world's No. 7 investment bank. It is a major bank that provides comprehensive investment banking services, financial market services and retail financial services in Australia.

A few days later, the McGripes branch submitted a two-page list of acquisition targets. The acquisition prices were all below 50 million Australian dollars, because according to the regulations of the Kangaroo Country, for investments in existing Australian enterprises, if the total assets acquired are

If you hold more than 15% of the equity in a company worth more than 50 million Australian dollars (including 50 million Australian dollars), or if the value of the company's shares invested is more than 50 million Australian dollars (including 50 million Australian dollars), you need to declare.

In fact, it is not troublesome to declare. The Kangaroo State has a foreign investment assessment committee

The Commission generally does not review in detail companies that declare an investment of between 50 million and 100 million Australian dollars.

The person in charge of McGlynn Investment Bank who came to connect with Donghua was an Asian whose Chinese name was Zhu Guangwen. He was about 40 years old and had a gentle appearance. His deputy was a blond and blue-eyed white beauty named Liz, who was about the same height.

1.8 meters, giving people a sense of oppression.

After the investment bankers distributed the information about the target companies to everyone in Donghua, Zhu Guangwen began to introduce the companies on the list to everyone in Mandarin.

Half an hour later, Chen Lidong pointed to a company ranked among the dozen and said: "I want to inspect this company."

He was talking about a company called Giant Rock Mining, which is located in the eastern Pilbara region. It owns a mine with reserves of more than 10 million tons and 3,000 square kilometers of exploration rights. The asset appraisal price is only 4.5 million Australian dollars.

Zhu Guangwen's face froze. Although this company was not ranked last, its price was indeed the lowest.

From an investment perspective, this is not a high-quality company.

It has been established for nearly 4 years, but it has not yet been put into production. His boss was planning to sell this company two years ago. The reason is unknown, but the fact that he has not sold it for two years at such a low price already shows the problem.

Just as he was about to express his doubts, Liz on the side took over and said: "We will contact the other party immediately and arrange the relevant itinerary. If everything goes well, we can take you there in two days."

McGlynn Investment Bank is indeed a leader in the Australian investment industry, and all the itinerary was arranged in two days.

This field trip was led by Zhu Guangwen and Liz, with only two assistants accompanying them.

There are slightly more people in Donghua, including Chen Lidong, Sun Jie, Edmund, Virgil, Chen Huangzhi, Chen Huangli, the newly recruited mining engineer Kent, mechanical engineer Layton, and several auxiliary employees.

It is about 1,500 kilometers from Pease to the Pilbara region. How to get there?

The answer is to fly there and charter a Qantas 717-200 aircraft from Pease International Airport, which can carry 100 passengers.

A team of 20 people chartered such a large plane. McGlynn really didn't want to save money for his employer.

The advantage of chartering a flight is that you can go anytime.

The flight was very smooth.

The airport in the Pilbara region is in the small town of Kassala. The flight route is along the coastline of Western Australia, and the process takes two hours.

The weather was good today and the visibility was also very good. After half the flight, looking over the Pilbara region from the plane, you can see the sharp contrast between the blue water and the ocher red land.

The coastline is twists and turns, offshore islands are dotted, the inland wilderness is vast, and long and narrow roads connect small towns together along the coastline.

After getting off the plane, you can fully feel the heat of the Pilbara. It is close to the equator and is even hotter than Pease. You feel like you are in a sauna box, suffering from the scorching heat.

The person who came to pick him up was the boss of Juyan Mining, a white man named Choate, with a reddish complexion, a strong build, about two meters tall, and somewhat similar to Johnson.

After some pleasantries, Johnson...Joate first invited everyone to take a minibus, and after a quarter of an hour, they went to the Kalateha International Hotel to have a rest and have dinner in the hotel at noon.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Choate came over again, picked up everyone and drove to the port.

We arrived at Port Hetland in the evening.

The minibus parked next to the highway. Choate pointed to the port in the distance and said: "The storage capacity of the Port Hetland ore storage yard is very large. It can accept 8 million tons of iron ore and can unload 240,000 tons of ships.

.The ore loaded into the ship is loaded into the ship's hold by a 10,000-ton reclaimer through a belt conveyor and two ship loaders. A 240,000-ton ore ship can be filled in up to 36 hours. As long as the supply and demand parties are in normal contact, it will not

It will cause the ship to be pressed or the supply to be delayed.”

The trip lasted three hours and the explanation lasted five minutes. Chen Lidong gave a negative review of Choate's performance.

The next step is to arrange check-in at a hotel near the port, and then go to the mine for inspection the next day.

In the evening, there will be a party on the beach outside the hotel.

Chen Lidong asked his wife: "Shall we go?"

Sun Jie said: "You go ahead, you're going to be bald, so I won't go."

Chen Lidong chuckled and said, "Then I won't go either. Alas...it's a pity."

Sun Jie gave him a look and said, "Go, go, I think you are always staring at Liz, that big pony, at night."
