The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 550 Great news
Surprises and accidents are always so sudden. Li Jianhui and Chen Yulian were still in the car returning to Wheelock Building from Tsing Yi Shipyard when they received a call from Qian Zhiyang, the president of Donghua Mining.

After nearly two years of exploration, a giant iron ore mine was finally discovered near Shashi Town in the southeast of Western Australia. It is initially estimated that the iron ore reserves have reached [-] billion tons, and it is still a high-quality iron ore.

This is the largest iron ore mine discovered in Australia since the 80s, and because of this discovery, the value of Donghua Mining Group has skyrocketed instantly.

With this iron ore in hand, as long as a little investment is made, it will definitely become a stable money printing machine for the Xinjian Department, and it will be able to obtain good income for the Xinjian Department every year.

In order to show the importance attached to this iron mine, the next morning, Li Jianhui, Chen Yulian, Wu Liangbao, president of Huangpu Iron and Steel Group, and Zhou Bingqian, former president of Donghua Mining Group and now executive vice president of Xinjian Holdings, took Li Jianhui's special plane and flew directly to Perth.

At the same time, in Perth, the chairman of the board of directors of Rio Tinto, the helm of the Bout family, also flew from London to Perth urgently, and the chairman of the board of directors of BHP Billiton and Brazil's Vale also rushed to Perth.

The reason why these three are in such a hurry is because the discovery of the Dongshi Iron Mine named by Donghua Mining will completely change the current iron ore supply pattern and also break the current iron ore supply balance.

As the greatest discovery of iron ore in the 80s, how could it be kept completely secret, especially in the mining industry, when Li Jianhui received the news, these people also received the news.

The first time they rushed to Perth, they hoped to bring Donghua Mining into their camp. They must maintain the current balance. If possible, they even hoped to join hands with Donghua Mining to push up the price of iron ore.

Of course, the news from Japan, South Korea, and Baodao, which are the main importers of iron ore, is also not slow. There are many people who contacted Li Jianhui on this day, and each of them is a well-known figure in the business world, including the Yasuda family of the Fuji Foundation and the Sumitomo family of the Sumitomo Foundation. .

In recent years, the Japanese economy has developed rapidly, and it is also the second largest market in the world. It also has a huge demand for resources. Iron ore is one of them. In order to reduce the cost of iron ore, they even established joint ventures with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. But the effect They are not very good, and they have to conduct a round of long-term negotiations with the three major iron ore groups to avoid a sharp rise in iron ore prices.

Now that Donghua Mining has discovered this huge vein, they see a chance to get rid of the current situation.

Originally, they wanted to go to discuss with Li Jianhui, but Li Jianhui went to Perth with a number of high-level executives, and a number of core figures from the Japanese consortium headed by the helm of the Yasuda family also flew to Perth by special plane.

Japan is short of iron ore, and South Korea is also short of iron ore. Especially in recent years, as one of the four Asian tigers, the economy has developed extremely rapidly, and the demand for iron ore is also increasing every year. They also hope to take the initiative in price, not Now we are working with multiple parties to conduct a round of negotiations with the three major groups.

This time, South Korea’s specifications are not low either. Not only business giants, but also government giants are visiting Perth in name, but in fact they hope to reach a cooperation with Donghua Mining.

As for Baodao, there is no rush. The largest private iron and steel company is Huaxing Enterprise. The chairman Lin Yishou is a member of the Donghua Association. Assure.

It's just that Li Jianhui, who arrived in Perth, did not meet with these people for the time being, but led the senior management of Lipp Holdings and Western Australia to hold talks.

With the development of Lipp Holding Group in recent years, the relationship between the Xinjian Department and the Western Australia State Government is quite good, and the Western Australian State Government is also very supportive of Lipp Holding Group.

There are many reasons for this, one of which is that Lipp Holdings Group and many of its companies are headquartered in Perth, which has long been the number one company in Western Australia.

This time, the discovery of this huge iron mine is not only happy for the Jianjian Department, but also for the Western Australia state government. Compared with the other three major groups, they hope that Donghua Mining will discover large-scale mineral deposits.

You must know that the headquarters of Donghua Mining is in Perth, the capital of Western Australia. The tax revenue of this group is handed over to Western Australia. In terms of interests, the Western Australia government naturally stands with Donghua Mining.

Hibbert, the chief executive of Western Australia, said with a smile: "The discovery of the Dongshi vein this time will leave a strong mark in history. He is not only the iron mine with the largest reserves discovered in the past ten years, At the same time, it also changed the pattern of the iron ore industry.

Moreover, Western Australia, which exports the most iron ore in the world, finally has a world-class mining group. The supply of iron ore is no longer dominated by Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Vale.

Here, on behalf of the Western Australia government, I solemnly promise you that I will fully support your mining of Dongshi iron ore, and will also take special care in iron ore transportation.

We also support Donghua Mining Group in building mineral railway transportation lines and ports, and our government will do our best to guarantee land use. "

Donghua Mining must invest in the iron ore transportation line. After all, there is no such thing. Even if the equipment can enter the site by road, it will not be able to be transported when it is mined. It is not realistic to rely on cars alone. After all, in Dongshi Iron Mine There is no railway for dozens of kilometers nearby.

And some railways Donghua Mining can't use, those belong to Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.

Moreover, the iron ore was discovered in the southeast this time, and the main iron ore producing area in Western Australia is in the north. The port is also quite far from the Dongshi iron ore mine. For future cost issues, a port still needs to be built.

The reason why Li Jianhui came here was to talk with the senior officials of Western Australia. The reason why the senior officials of the Western Australian government are so enthusiastic is that the Xinjian Department needs to be built, and the Western Australian government needs economic development. Whether it is railway construction or port construction, for Western Australia The economy is all a huge pull.

For the more than 150 billion Hong Kong dollars prepared at the beginning, in addition to spending hundreds of millions to acquire Johnson Electric, it is to inject several billions into Yijia Group, plus some other calls, Li Jianhui still has [-] billion Hong Kong dollars in his hand. Hua Mining's confidence in developing Dongshi Iron Mine.

This time, Li Jianhui plans to start construction on the three lines at the same time, injecting [-] billion Hong Kong dollars into Donghua Mining to build a dedicated railway transportation line and iron ore development.

As for the port, Donghua Mining does not care about it. Huangpu Port Company, a subsidiary of Huangpu Shipping Group, is in charge. It will choose a suitable place in the southeastern part of Western Australia to build a large port.

Because the two parties are interested in each other, the negotiation was very pleasant. Li Jianhui promised that the construction of the railway line and the port will start in full swing by the end of this year at the latest.

At the same time, it is also guaranteed that the headquarters of Donghua Mining will always be headquartered in Perth, and the development of Donghua Mining will also be based in Western Australia.

"We are very happy that Donghua Mining has been able to take root in Western Australia. Our government will unswervingly support the development of local enterprises and will never allow other companies to target and suppress Donghua Mining through abnormal commercial means."
