Although the jewelry company under the Energy Group has also expanded rapidly around the world this year, to some people in the upper class, it feels that the jewelry company of the Energy Group is still a bit young, unless they want to buy jade jewelry monopolized by the Energy Group, otherwise In other words, they would not go there. No matter in all aspects, the jewelry of De Beers surpasses the jewelry company of the energy group. Since there are enough reasons, if you want to make your jewelry company perfect, you must acquire it, so that the energy group's jewelry industry can reach a higher level. m
Now what Robert and Hank want to know is whether this Asian resource has anything to do with Li Cong.
Li never answered them directly on this question. These two people couldn't help but think of the Anglo American Resources Group, which was the most powerful group in the last century. It is similar in name and does the same things, but this resource group disappeared when the world changed dramatically Now, could it be that it has something to do with Li Cong? These two people feel chills in their backs at the moment. They have to be careful this time, and they can't ask this kid to play tricks again.
Anglo American plc (an) and its subsidiaries and joint ventures are well-known companies in the field of mining and natural resources in the world. It has significant influence in the fields of gold, platinum, diamonds, coal, base metals, heavy metals and industry, industrial ores, and paper and packaging, and also has strong financial and technological strength. The group has branches all over the world, with business operations and development in Africa, Europe, South America, North America and Oceania. Anglo American plc shows people a world of powerful resources. Of course, this all happened in the last century. Now that he has been replaced by Asian resources, it is no wonder that these two people think that way. It is really reminiscent.
Anglo American plc was established in May 1999 on the basis of the merger of South African Anglo American (sa) and the company. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and most of its shares are held by British institutions.
Anglo American plc is the world's leading mining and natural resources company, whose purpose is to enhance the wealth of shareholders, customers, employees and the communities in which the company operates. Based on strong financial strength and professional technology, the company has diversified high-quality assets around the world, including: gold, platinum, diamonds, coal, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, industrial minerals, and paper and paper packaging industries. The company's business involves a complete set of value-added, production and services, from the initial mining and production of raw materials, to products and final consumers.
Anglo American is one of the Fortune 500 companies. She is a leading global mining and natural resources company with eight core business units headquartered in London. Listed on the London Stock Exchange, it ranks among the top 15 companies in the stock market by market capitalization, with sales of more than $340 billion in 2005 and profits of $37 billion before extraordinary items.
Anglo American has 190,000 employees worldwide.
We are committed to ensuring that employees can give full play to their abilities, and more importantly, we want to ensure that the human rights of employees are fully recognized, especially in terms of working environment, safety and health.
In 1917, Sir Ernest Mer established the South African Anglo-American Company in order to exploit gold mines in the East Rand region of South Africa. The company's approved start-up capital is £1 million. Since the funds mainly come from the United Kingdom and the United States, it is named after "Anglo-American Company". In the 1820s and 1830s, the South African Anglo-American Company made significant progress in gold mining under the leadership of Sir Ernest. In 1926, the South African Anglo American Company became the largest single shareholder of De Beers, and Sir Ernest Mer became the chairman of the company in 1929. In 1928 Anglo American was first involved in the development of what is now known as the "Zambia Copper Belt".
In the same year, Anglo-American Company started business negotiations with Hans Merensky again. The platinum group metal mine (us reef) discovered by Merensky made South Africa the largest producer of platinum in the world today.
Developments during the 1820s and 1830s enabled the South African Anglo American Company to play a key role in the creation of other industries such as the (African Explosives and Chemicals Industries), but the company sold most of its shares in 2001. The company was also involved in the creation of art ts business, which developed new technologies for using industrial grade diamonds in gold mining drilling equipment. At the same time, the development of the company provided the necessary funds for the acquisition of Anglo-American Company, one of which was to make Anglo-American Company enter the coal industry through the acquisition of the coal industry and make it a subsidiary of the company.
From the late 1940s to the 1850s, the South African Anglo-American Company was mainly committed to the development of free state gold mines and vaal reefs mines. During this period, the company developed five major mines at the same time. The success of mining these minerals has made the company one of the top companies in the international mining industry, and the experience gained has also given the company the confidence to develop such a deep gold mine as western deep (commissioned in 1957), which is deeper than the previous mines. double. In 1957, Sir Ernest Mer died, and his son, Harry Mer, a member of the opposition party in Congress, succeeded him.
In 1961, the South African Anglo American Company purchased a stake in Canada's Hudson's Bay Mining and Smelting Company, marking the company's first large-scale investment outside South Africa. Thereafter, in the early 1970s, Anglo American acquired mining assets in Latin America and established the Minerals and Resources Corporation (later renamed the Corporation).
In the mid-1960s, the company integrated its increasing industrial assets and formed the South African Anglo-American Industrial Company (), and also entered the steel industry through the acquisition of Aetals and the development of ghveldess new technology in the field of steel production.
In 1967, the South African Anglo-American Company established a group, which marked the company's entry into the wood, pulp and paper industry in South Africa. After 1984, it became one of the two major enterprises in this industry in South Africa, and then became the leader in the paper packaging industry in Europe. major businesses.
Between 1969/1970, the company's copper mines in Zambia were nationalized, which cost the group heavily.
In 1975, Anglo-American developed eight coal mines in South Africa. These coal mines were later integrated into Al Corporation (later renamed "British American Coal" Corporation). Anglo American is also one of the major shareholders in the development of the hard bay al nal mine, which has made South Africa a major coal exporter in the world.
Since the South African National Party came to power in 1948, the relationship between the South African Anglo-American Company and the South African government has not been harmonious enough, and their views are often opposed. The mer family is an important member and one of the founders of the opposition party, and the Anglo American Company is the main supporter of the black education plan. In 1981, Anglo American was the first mining company to advocate for the recognition of the Black Trade Union.
In 1982 and at the end of 1984, Harry Mer retired from the positions of chairman of Anglo-American and De Beers successively, and his successors were N Relly and An e N (he became the chairman of Anglo-American in 1990).
In 1985, Nrelly led a business delegation to meet with the leaders of the African National Congress (ANC) in Lusaka, a move that annoyed the South African government at the time. The actions of Anglo-American leaders reflect the role of several corporate leaders in supporting South Africa's complex transition towards a non-radical democratic system.
In 1993, the group underwent a major restructuring of Anglo American's assets in Africa and the company's interests in other parts of the world. Since then, the company has gradually accelerated the pace of global development. In 1995, the company put into production the Verde copper mine in Chile; in 1996, the company put into production the gold mine in La ll, Mali; in 1997, the company acquired coal assets in Latin America for the first time; and started to build nickel mines and zinc mines in Venezuela and Ireland respectively Mine; in 1999, the company's large-scale copper mine in Chile (Anglo-American company accounted for 44% equity) was put into production.
In 1996, in South Africa, the company completed the largest black empowerment transaction in the history of South African corporate development by selling its stake in and to the National Empowerment Consortium (nal) and the African Mining Group.
In 1998, after a major strategic study, South African Anglo American announced that it would merge with a company headquartered in Luxembourg to form Anglo American plc, which would be listed in London. The purpose of this is to provide a better foundation for future global development and make full use of the capital market.
Moving the main listing to London is the culmination of a drastic restructuring process. The restructuring process included the unraveling of many of the shares that had previously been cross-owned by major South African companies; the buyback of small stakes from some Anglo-American subsidiaries; and the separation of administrative and technical functions from De Beers. The new company was listed in London, Johannesburg and Switzerland on May 24, 1999.
Since its listing, Anglo American Plc has actively divested non-"core" assets (mainly most of its shares in industrial and financial services), and raised about US$80 billion through this move. At the same time, it has acquired about US$12 billion worth of The new "core" asset for the dollar. The main transactions carried out by the company are as follows:
Acquisition of Talmax () Co., Ltd. makes Anglo American the largest producer in the UK stone market and the second largest company in the cement industry.
Through the operation of companies such as h, and the acquisition of the paper bag business of company n and the controlling stake in Russia's syktyvkar forest enterprise, it has expanded its shares in the paper and paper packaging industry in Europe.
Acquisition of Shell's coal interests in Australia and Venezuela; followed by the acquisition of one-third of Colombia's largest coal mine - n rte mine.
The staggered ownership of Anglo American and De Beers was dismantled. In the past, the two companies each owned shares in each other. In 2001, through a very complex transaction, Anglo American increased its stake in De Beers to 55%, while De Beers was run by the Mer family.
Acquisition of Sputada, a large-scale low-cost copper producer in Chile, for US$1.3 billion net, thereby securing Anglo American's position as the world's leading low-cost copper producer.
Acquired 67% equity of Kumber Mining Co., Ltd. (Kumba est ted), realizing the company's strategic goal of entering the iron ore industry. However, a problem arose at this time. At the most glorious moment of the Anglo-American Group, he suddenly retreated bravely. First, he delisted from the London Exchange, which cost him nearly tens of billions of dollars. Until the beginning of the war, there was no voice from the Anglo-American Group. On the contrary, his original voice was replaced by Asian resources.
"Mr. Li, we might as well open the skylight and speak out. If you have already controlled the Anglo-American Group this time, I don't think we need to continue talking. We need benefits, enough benefits." Robert looked at Hank. Without talking, he didn't believe that Li Cong's glass of wine would be so delicious. This guy must be waiting for him to talk.
"Hehe, you two are really good at calculating. I am also in a loss-making business. I don't tell you how difficult it was for me to get the shares of Anglo-American Group back then." These two also understand Li Cong's words. Anglo-American Group Such a big company is also very difficult for them super big companies. They will not be able to fiddle with them as they want like those upstarts. Those organizations are only one step away from them. They What is lacking is time. If they are given enough time, their achievements may not be lower than these few people present here.
Li Cong's meaning is very clear. He has indeed mastered Anglo-American resources, which should be called Asian resources now. Then 40% of the world's diamond transactions are in the hands of this guy. Li Cong is not an ordinary man. He is a jeweler, and jewelry is not something anyone can do if he wants to. He pays attention to the source of goods and channels, and mastering one of them can basically make the industry flourish, but now Li Cong has actually done two things. He thought it would be difficult not to make a fortune from this project. In fact, if the two are compared, the channels are more profitable. Take the diamonds in front of us as an example. In terms of supply, the world has a share of hundreds of billions of dollars. , but in terms of retail sales, it takes ten times or even twenty times more of the share. These two guys don’t know how much Li Cong made from jewelry. Li Cong himself knows it very well. In the 1990s, the combination of my jewelry company and precious metal mines brought me a net income of 700 billion U.S. dollars. This was the first year of large-scale investment. A large jewelry sales market, which has entered hundreds of billions of dollars, if not for this, the income will definitely be even more.
"We are very clear about how much Mr. Li paid at that time. Of course, we will keep Mr. Li's efforts in our hearts. Our two families are not so ambitious about diamonds, no, we don't have such big ambitions for jewelry. Li Just continue your hegemony, Mr. Li, but we can’t help Mr. Li in vain, I have a plan, Mr. Li, listen to it?” Hank didn’t speak from the beginning to the end, and now he’s getting excited, look Wake up and have met Robert a long time ago, these foreign devils are always ahead of me, after all, they are still a family, and my relationship can't catch up with them.
"Hehe, Mr. Hank is really refreshing. I will also tell you about my request. This diamond mine must not be in the hands of the Great Russian. If that is the case, I can guarantee that he will not surpass me, but I want to surpass it." You guys have that possibility. Mr. Hank’s side is not stable yet. As for Mr. Robert’s side, I am also very clear. If you really use this matter to pinch me, I think you will lose in the end, but you are not mine. At most, I just want to lose some money, but what about you guys, I think you all know what kind of temper polar bears are. Carat diamonds, even if we make more hype to lower the price of diamonds, they are still diamonds. That thing is not made of stone. There are very few women in this world who don’t like that thing. Father and daughter can hold up half the sky, so Their market is still huge, Mr. Hank, please tell me your plan.” Li Congyi only gave Hank a chance to speak at the end, and he said that these flowers are not talking nonsense, what he meant was I want to tell you not to set the price too high, otherwise you will be the ones who will be unlucky in the end, so it is better for you to be honest and cooperate with me.
Sure enough, the two of them stopped talking after Li Cong finished speaking. Hank, who was confident just now, was also a little muttering at this time. Since the death of the old president, the Skull and Bones Society has never been in one mind. Although outsiders look at it as monolithic, but I am an insider, and no one knows what is going on better than myself. If it is really a family member, the chair of the president may not have to be rotated. Europa has just been defeated and lost so many benefits. It will take at least a year to develop. After one year, Great Russia may have fully studied the diamond mine. It is impossible to contain them, so now is the time to do it, and it must be done by the three together. Hanke thought of how the Soviet Union fought against his organization during the Cold War, and he began to mutter in his heart. We can't let that happen again. You can't let your country fall into a predicament just because of a little benefit.
"Li Cong, tell me about your plan. We have to be led by the nose when we come this time. Don't tell us to lose too much. Our two families are indeed unstable internally, but if we are sincere, I hope You can also be fair to us. Our previous strength has now been expanded. Just look at our navy, and you know that if you really pull us away too much, the three of us can only be Together, it is also for our own survival." Robert thought for a while and said, but it is better to let Li Cong pay attention, he can't eat all the trillions of carats by himself.
Hanke also nodded from the bottom of his heart, not to mention other things, just say that in terms of naval strength, the United States and Europa may not be able to catch up with the energy group. This **** is too rich. As the saying goes, in the past, our military expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars every year made you yell for a long time, but now it is better, your military expenditure is divided into two parts, one part is dedicated to the welfare of soldiers and officers, and the other part is the purchase of weapons and equipment. The plan announced by the energy group is as high as 1.59 trillion US dollars, and it seems that this figure is also watery, and it must be much higher than this.
"Hehe, just rest assured, you two. I absolutely understand what Mr. Robert said. This time, the three of us came forward together to ask Great Russia to share this diamond mine with the three of us and share the benefits with him." Li Cong said these words There was a trace of discomfort on Robert's face. Not long ago, this policy made him lose control of Gibraltar. Now it has come to the Great Russians so quickly. It's really a turn of events. This **** you Also today, I really want to see what happened when I transferred to Li Cong, but I may not see it in this life.
"My specific plan is this. We will immediately send special envoys to Great Russia and ask them to block the news. After all, it is better not to release the news that the diamonds have trillions of carats, otherwise the diamonds will be devalued on a large scale. Yes, let me tell you the truth, if the news gets out, my losses will definitely be tens of billions of dollars. I believe that the losses on the Great Russia side will definitely not be small, and I will not tell them. Be tight-lipped, otherwise I will lose the money. I believe that other people’s life will be difficult. I bear the entire mining cost of the diamond mine by myself, which is about 150 billion US dollars. After the diamonds are mined, they will all be mine. I will give The entire diamond mine is priced at 10 trillion U.S. dollars, but this is at least a 30-year plan. The two of you are each worth 500 billion U.S. dollars, and the Great Russia side is 1 trillion U.S. dollars. I will give you the money within ten years, but who are you? If the news is released, I will immediately cut off your energy supply." Li Cong's last words directly made the two people tremble in their hearts, this kid finally used this trick, no matter what he said before The energy supply will not be cut off. How do you say it now, it started for a diamond mine?
In fact, Li Cong still has a lot of reservations about what he said. For example, if the diamond mine is all mined, it will definitely not be ten trillion US dollars according to the current price. If it is more than ten times that, Great Russia has not explored it clearly. Resource satellites are very clear about exploration. At that time, Li Cong will naturally have a way to make the whole world throw money into his pocket. If he pays two trillion U.S. dollars, he will definitely recover the capital within five years. The next thing is to make money.
Five hundred billion dollars? Obviously, these two guys are not very satisfied. Good guy, you yourself said that you have ten trillion dollars in assets. If you give us just a little right now, it doesn’t mean that we are not even qualified to drink soup, but the two of them are also I'm not a fool, and I know that I can't raise objections casually at this time. Li Cong and the others know that he is the one who can turn his face faster than a book. If he really angers this guy, he can't bear to walk around. It must be my own, it's better not to do this myself, after all, this guy is not ordinary.
"Mr. Li, in fact, we didn't need to talk about money at all before. I think it's just like this. Just pick a few big diamonds and give them to us." Robert never expected Hank to talk like that. Fifty billion US dollars is really nothing to the Skull and Bones. Although they have lost a lot, it would be good if this little money can be exchanged for a favor from Li Cong. As I have explained, it is better not to be aggressive when doing things with Li Cong, otherwise the only one who will suffer is yourself.
"Hehe, Mr. Hank really knows how to joke. One size is one size. I think you two may be a little dissatisfied with this proposal. It's better like this. I will definitely give you the money, and I will give you another one." Additional requirements, of course, don’t go too far.” Li Cong will retreat if people are polite, this is Li Cong’s principle of life, I can give it to you but you can’t come and grab it.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, if I want your energy group to withdraw from Europe, do you agree?" Robert, an old guy, sometimes can't keep up with a younger guy. Sure enough, Li Cong's face changed after he finished speaking. The guy is too much, he can say such things, he really doesn't want to cooperate, soon Robert can see the changes in Li Cong, and he also knows that what he said just now is a bit menglang.
"Just kidding, Mr. Li, just don't worry. We are different from Skull and Bones. 500 billion dollars is not a small amount for us. Besides, I want to ask Mr. Li for something. I want Mr. Li to make an announcement, just like what Mr. Li announced in the British Isles before, I hope Mr. Li can help us develop the economy on the one hand." Robert proposed a condition that Li Cong could accept, and followed My own huge interests are nothing compared to these. If I help you improve your economy, it is nothing more than investing in you. As long as the general environment is acceptable, I must do things to make money.
"How come, this is no problem. How does Mr. Robert feel about the football economy?" Li Cong bought a huge club in the British Isles before. More than ten times the profit, of course, is not the real money, but the reputation of the group. As long as it is Manchester United fans, it will support it. Those fans are very crazy when they become crazy.
"Football economy" is an economic form with football and its related industries as the main body, which is realized through the exchange of players and the circulation of football-related products. In the modern football economy, the most important commodity is players, and it is inevitable for football commercialization that players become commodities. When a club trains a player, it has to bear a series of expenses for the player, which is similar to how a producer invests in production materials in commodity production; the realization of commodity value is also realized through the "circulation" of the commodity player, when the player is bought by him When the ball is sold, the player's worth is the value of this commodity. Subsequently, other products circulated in the football field, such as the development rights of jerseys, the broadcast rights of football games, and so on. As an emerging industry, "soccer economy" has strong industrial relevance and driving force, and has become an important part of the development of the sports industry. The development of "soccer economy" has driven the development of manufacturing, advertising, service industries and other industries, and increased employment opportunities; and these correlations are the characteristics of the sports industry, and "soccer economy", as an important part of the modern sports industry, is also It just highlights this characteristic. Therefore, "soccer economy" has become an important symbol of the development of the modern sports industry.
The development of football is inseparable from sponsors and fans--sponsors are undoubtedly producers in our daily life. They package football with money and sell it vigorously; fans are consumers. For football, fans are almost regarded as "A thousand pieces of gold are gone and they will come back", "The belt is getting wider and you will never regret it". Football is a middleman between producers and consumers; it uses its own capital and charm to attract both parties to make progress together, and finally achieve a win-win effect.
The so-called win-win on the football field - sponsors get profits from fans or other channels through football, achieve effective use and flow of funds, and avoid capital inventory. This is a win-win. Fans are willing to take out "dedication of love", "Three years of savings may only buy a pair of tickets"; but through football, through the stimulation and intensity of football, they get unprecedented satisfaction in their empty hearts and spirits. Two wins. To sum up, it is a win-win situation.
There is a popular term in economic circles, that is "strong alliance". The combination of an enterprise and a group finally achieves a qualitative leap in the strength of both parties. This is a "strong combination" in pure economics. Its biggest advantage is to maximize the use of limited resources to do the most things and businesses, and seek the greatest economic benefits.
The "strong alliance" in economic football is even more wonderful. The strength of the football team is the determining factor of the game; perhaps the world is not wonderful if it is not weird, so there are other factors that determine the football game. If the home field advantage affects the game, then compared with the black whistle, it is a big black. Beauty plus money, coercion plus temptation—even a white referee in Italy has to become a black referee in Angola. Football + black whistle = strong alliance.
The main purpose and function of the strong alliance in the football economy is: under the circumstances of limited strength, use unlimited money to achieve a certain limit of cooperation, and seek the "three points" needed for victory. Of course, it is necessary to calculate who the three points are for Yes, sometimes what everyone wants to see most is a performance, but in the football world where Li Cong entered the British Isles, at least Li Cong would not allow things like black whistle to appear. Li Cong brought everyone a real This is not available in other places, and Li Cong has also tasted huge benefits from the football economy, which he cannot get by doing other good deeds.
If the country's economic stagnation is caused by the lack of consumption incentives and the decline in purchasing power, can stimulating consumption attract consumers to scramble to contribute to the country's economic development? No! Stimulating consumption is a measure, not a rule. What can make consumers "give up money for righteousness" is not advice, but a corresponding "conspiracy" formulated according to their appetite.
Football baby is a newborn, in terms of world football. Like a fresh sea breeze, they arouse the special love of those consumers who are not satisfied with victory on and off the field. This is the wisdom of the Football Association. The charm of football babies does not lie in how beautiful and sexy they are, but because compared with football, they are still slightly able to attract those "fake fans" who do not watch football for the sake of watching football. Football Baby, using things other than football to bring benefits to the economic football market, and at the same time increase the attendance rate of football games.
Football solves part of the social employment problem, and solves the income problem of some people and some families well. According to a survey report released by FIFA on June 31, 2027, there will be 270 million football players in the world in 2026, including 265 million athletes and 5 million referees, coaches and administrators. The number of Asian players is 85 million. Let's take a look at the salary levels of the following countries. United States: £1.12 million. That's the salary cap per team in Major League Soccer in a single season. There are 20 players in each team, and each can get 56,000 pounds, of course someone can get 200,000. England: £676,000. This is the 2026 survey by the Premier League Professional Players Association.
But it is worth mentioning that if you take into account the specific performance bonus, it can increase by 60% to 100%. Chelsea's Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko are the highest paid, with a weekly salary of 121,000 pounds and an annual salary of 6.29 million pounds. Ligue 1: £342,000. This is the average annual salary of Ligue 1 players. Of course, Lyon's Juninho's annual salary of 1.97 million is the highest in the league. Germany: £370,000. This is the average annual salary of Bundesliga players, with Bayern goalkeeper Kahn earning the highest salary of £3.6m. Japan: The average salary of Japanese players is between £65,000 and £175,000. These football players have become rich through the sweat of their bodies, and then they will give away the money to drive the progress of the entire society.
For Li Cong, this football economy can be said to be a business that can make money without losing money, but for Robert, he doesn't want to hand over such a great sport to Li Cong. He doesn't want those old clubs to have a relationship with Li Cong. But now I don't have any spare money to clean up those clubs, so I can only nod helplessly.
"Mr. Li, this method is okay in Europe, but it seems that there are many problems in our America, especially in our United States. First of all, what we need is rugby and basketball. Football can only be the third in our life. I hope that Mr. Li can consider our side." The guy said bluntly, indeed, judging from the actual situation in the United States, it is not a good project to promote football. ,
"Mr. Hanke's opinion is very important. I will not invest less than 200 billion U.S. dollars in the United States. I will invest for three consecutive years. If the U.S. stock market knows the news, it will take three days to rise. The question is, as for what aspect, I will sell this favor to you." Li Cong said with a smile, this is where this guy is best at attracting people, a word makes Hank's heart warm, and Robert on the side Secretly scolding Hank for being a fool, Li Cong would probably not go to an industry that doesn't make money. If he is sold, he has to help him count the money, poor Yankee.
The rest is just some details. There is no need for the three giants to continue negotiating here. Next, they will put pressure on Sequoia. If the big Russian is disobedient, it may be necessary to give him some color Look, there is no need to do anything else, the entire country will probably collapse if economic sanctions are imposed, and their country's economy is on the verge of collapse. If they are out of touch with the world at this time, they can't afford it.
"I have a bottle of top-quality Tibetan Immortal here. The two of you will never get drunk at night. It is a good wine that prolongs your life." Robert is not interested in everything, but this Tibetan Immortal is the best thing. Hearing this I can’t help but feel a little bit hopeful. The p7-level bottle I drink is worth millions of euros, but I only get two bottles a year. Damn, there are only 30 bottles in total. This one is better than that one. It seems that I am lucky. .
