Chapter 1762 A Proud Wei Li

Because the central part is a huge and boundless desert, almost all towns in Australia, where large-scale people live, are around the coastline.

Among them, the east and west coastlines are the most densely populated.

To the east is Australia's historical economic and cultural center, where cities such as Sydney are located.

Western Australia is a little more remote.

Before the discovery of iron ore, the population here was less than 1 million.

With the development of the iron ore trade over the past 20 to 30 years, and more immigrants choosing Western Australia, which offers better conditions, the population of Western Australia has recently reached around 2 million.

Among them, Perth and surrounding satellite towns account for 1.3 million, which shows Perth's status in the entire state of Western Australia.

The remaining 700,000 people are thanks to immigrants from Xiangjiang.

There are probably about 220,000 people here in total, and they are located in the northwest area, which can be regarded as greatly enriching these territories.

Regarding these immigrants from Hong Kong, Western Australians are actually not as skeptical as they were 30 years later.

They are still very simple and honest, and the residents of Xiangjiang, especially those from Wankang Company, are carefully selected, so they have a good impression on the people of Western Australia.

Of course, these people stay in the countryside and work hard, and they don’t come to the city to steal their job opportunities. They also help solve many municipal engineering problems there, and they don’t need much resources from you to plant them with their families. Vegetables, meats, fruits and vegetables can also enrich everyone’s dinner table. You said, which country’s people wouldn’t like such immigrants?

As the world's richest man and the chairman of a huge group company, Yin Jun cannot relax and spend time with his wife and children every day when he comes to Western Australia.

Otherwise, he would not have brought Ye Linqinwa here.

Zhao Yazhi knew that Yin Jun was busy with work, but she saw that even when the little man was working, he tried to stay at home as much as possible. After he was done working, he immediately came to accompany himself and the child in his belly. When he had time to go to basketball practice with Xiaoguang in the evening, he never He never complained about hardship or tiredness, but was always full of bright smiles... Such a husband made Zhao Yazhi feel that even giving him another child was worth it.

Of course, Zhao Yazhi knew that her husband was in the iron ore mining area of ​​Western Australia. She asked Yin Jun to take the time to go there, so as not to be accused of not caring about the affairs of the branch here. She seemed to be not too enthusiastic, which would make the company employees Feeling left out.

Yin Jun did not do this.

He was never a big business person.

In Yin Jun's opinion, the best life is to live a prosperous life. You can read books and watch movies every day, and then sleep with your lovely wife and beautiful concubine at night. That is the best.

Now Zhao Yazhi is obviously due to give birth. Although it is estimated to be at the end of the month, no one can say for sure. What if Yin Jun is in the iron ore area with inconvenient transportation and communication so early, how can he get back to the first place? Seeing her own child and her goddess sister after giving birth?

A common saying in later generations is that people need a sense of ritual in their lives.

In fact, this "people" can be directly replaced by "women".

Only women with delicate emotions will notice so many things. Men usually pay attention to these things because of women.

A major event like giving birth to a child is very important to any woman. Once her man is no longer around, you can imagine the feeling of loss.

Naturally, Yin Jun could not make Zhao Yazhi feel sorry, and would rather wait until the child was born before going to the northwest.

However, Yin Jun couldn't come over, but Wei Li came over on his own.

Shen Ben, who already serves in the parliament, now lives in Perth. When Zhao Yazhi came to Western Australia, he took his wife and daughter to visit him.

Wei Li was busy with work and just made a polite phone call to greet him, not paying much attention to it.

In the pasture of the manor, Yin Jun couldn't help but nodded secretly as he looked at the radiant Wei Li, whose mental state was obviously different from before.

"It's all thanks to you, Master Jun, for pointing out a path full of hope and imagination for me." Wei Li himself also sighed, "Living in a small place like Xiangjiang, my vision and mind are too narrow. Only after I came to Western Australia did I realize what it means to have a vast world and a lot to do.”

He's right.

More than a year ago, Wei Li, although he had his own small business, was very depressed and unhappy.

Why?

Because he was driven out of the position of chief executive of Hutchison Whampoa, one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong!

The merger of the two major companies, Hutchison and Whampoa, was made possible by Wei Li.

He made the post-merger Hutchison Whampoa reach the level of one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, but in the end he was humiliatingly ousted. He didn't even know that Hutchison Whampoa was sold. It was really a shame and a great shame!

But he couldn't retaliate, let alone fight back.

Because the person who drove him out of power was called Shen Bi.

HSBC Bank’s Taipan,

HSBC's position in Hong Kong is basically the same as the Federal Reserve's position in the United States, strong and domineering.

Even Yin Jun, who is now the richest man in the world, is unlikely to have a conflict with HSBC in Xiangjiang. Instead, he has to treat Shen Bi carefully, let alone a migrant worker like Wei Li.

So Wei Li didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​resisting. He could only nag a few words, but he also knew that he had no way to get ahead in Xiangjiang.

What he didn't expect was that Yin Jun would ask him to come to Western Australia to develop an iron ore company here.

What Weili didn't expect was that under Yin Jun's guidance, he could find an iron ore so quickly, and it was a very large iron ore area.

The Christmas Creek Iron Mine is a mining area with up to 1.5 billion tons of 65% ultra-rich iron ore, and in fact there are at least 500 million tons of 55% ore. It is the largest mining area found in Western Australia in the past five years. Kirin Mining Company has brought a valuation of US$30 billion.

The key is that this valuation has been recognized by people. In the end, together with the major transportation roads, railways and ports, the package price was US$31.5 billion, and 20% of the shares were subscribed by Xiangjiang businessmen.

More than 100 Xiangjiang companies have invested in this investment.

When Weili returned to Hong Kong in July this year, he received the most extensive attention from the media. He was chased and intercepted everywhere, and the people who talked to and ate with him were all business leaders. He was even more prestigious than he was at Hutchison Whampoa.

It was at that moment that Wei Li truly felt that he had gotten rid of Shen Bi's shadow and became the omnipotent "company doctor" again.

From the moment the iron ore area was discovered to the departure of the commercial inspection tour group, Weili has been busy with the mining preparations for the mining area, the dredging and construction of transportation, the construction of the port, etc.

He recruited seven or eight managers at once, but they all felt a little inadequate.

Although he was extremely busy, the overall scale of his company would eventually exceed 100,000 people, which made Wei Li feel excited at the ideal and determined to work hard and let the whole world know that there is such a person as him in the business world!

Therefore, Wei Li admired Yin Jun so much that he regarded his every word as an imperial edict.

"At this stage, all kinds of equipment needed in the mining area are being built overtime." Wei Li reported to Yin Junhui while walking on the grass, "Because you said that we need to mine as soon as possible and as much as possible, so we If you buy a lot, many machines need to be customized, so you have to wait a while.

Various preparations for the mining area itself have also been made seriously! In fact, the mining areas in Western Australia are very good. They are basically open-pit mines, which are much better than those mines. So we basically just do some house construction, equipment site construction, fixing and safety work. An experienced engineering team can do it all within one year. "

"Do you still think I'm too impatient?" Yin Jun asked with a smile.

Wei Li actually didn't understand Yin Jun's request of "official mining in two years and an increase in production to 100 million tons per year in four years."

In his opinion, with the current offshore iron ore price of almost 20 US dollars per ton, rapid mining on such a large scale is not a good thing at all and is a bit of a waste of resources.

The best thing is to slowly mine 50 million tons or even 30 million tons a year. After the price of iron ore soars, it will not be too late to expand the scale of production.

"Yes." Weili smiled, "This is true from a business perspective, but from a political perspective, it is very necessary... After all, in the future, your development will be in mainland China!"

Weili is a very smart person, and he is also a person who is very good at seeing the essence through phenomena. Otherwise, he would not be able to repeatedly save companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy and let them bloom new flowers.

Yin Jun feels like he is fishing for the best, but from the perspective of the development and demand in mainland China, cheap and high-quality iron ore is definitely a timely help.

Once you have this advantage, are you still worried about whether the Kirin Group will do well in its business in mainland China?

Yin Jun nodded and asked: "Those shareholders haven't made trouble with you recently?"

"There are still some. I asked them to sell their shares back, but they refused." Weili shrugged, "To put it bluntly, they just want to get more benefits. The business you like, Mr. Jun, they Why are you willing to get off the ship?"

Because the iron ore business is what Yin Jun wants to do, everyone knows that this will definitely make a lot of money in the future, definitely not just as much as 30 billion US dollars.

Those who made a fuss and felt that the mining was too aggressive at the beginning were small shareholders with less than 0.1% of the shares.

They just want to get more benefits by doing this. Anyway, if they don't get it, they can't lose it, right?

Those giants such as Mr. Huo and Charter King knew the reasons why Yin Jun did this.

They themselves also have business in the mainland. With such a status as shareholders of Qilin Mining Company, it will be much easier for them to do things, and only idiots will make trouble!
