Chapter 597 Questions
Fan Wubing's trip to Australia this time was not simply to avoid Huo Tiancheng's request for a visit. Of course, this was one of the factors, but it was definitely not the decisive factor.
Just as his subordinates said to Huo Tiancheng's wife, Mr. Fan had some problems with his investment in Australia and needed to go to Western Australia to deal with it in person, so he left in a hurry and had no time to explain anything.
"Then when will he come back?!" Huo Tiancheng's wife suddenly became anxious. Huo Tiancheng told her to contact Fan Wubing, because he estimated that Fan Wubing was responsible for this matter, otherwise the victim's relatives It was simply impossible for him to suddenly jump out at this time, and his subordinates who had issues with him also jumped out at this time to testify against his crimes.
Everything is connected. There can be no love without reason, and there can be no hatred without reason. Unless someone else instigates it, Huo Tiancheng feels that this group of people will not have the courage to openly confront him.
Who has the ability and reason to deal with himself now? No matter how stupid Huo Tiancheng is, he should know whose idea it is, but he doesn't understand why Fan Wubing knows about this matter and must put himself to death just for a small conflict with his daughter , he would kill himself completely. It doesn’t make sense logically?
Therefore, Huo Tiancheng wishes his wife that she must find Fan Wubing and settle this matter. It is nothing more than a matter of money. It is always feasible to spend money and eliminate disasters by yourself, right?
But he also expected one thing wrong, that is, Fan Wubing really couldn't take his little money seriously.
Fan Wubing flew to Australia because there was indeed some problem with the Western Australia Iron Ore Company's listing, and he needed to decide it in person.
At this time, it was already November, and it should have gradually become hotter in Australia. When Fan Wubing flew to Sydney, he felt that the weather here was quite cool. After all, this is how the oceanic climate changes. , the year-round temperature is probably limited to a certain range, with little change.
The executives of the Australian company welcomed Fan Wubing in Sydney, and then moved into the seaside mansion they had already purchased.
Although Fan Wubing cannot stay in Sydney for long in a year, his intention to invest in real estate here is still very obvious, especially since Sydney is about to win the 2000 Olympic Games. By then, domestic A sports delegation or something like that has to stay here for a while. I don’t mind finding a few sports stars who have the potential to win gold medals, and then invite them to stay here for a few days, and then start a few advertising endorsement projects. of.
Therefore, the luxury house area purchased by Fan Wubing is quite large, covering an area of about 10,000 square meters, of which there is a large area of more than 1,000 square meters.
They are all trestles built above the sea level, extending about fifty meters into the sea. In other words, what you feel when you get here is the real sea environment.
Whether it is fishing, swimming, or going for a ride in the sea with a yacht tied to the side, it is a very good choice. Even just lying on a deck chair and sunbathing is also a very good choice.
I believe that such a good place should be liked by many people.
As soon as you enter the house, you will see that the side facing the sea is entirely made of glass walls. The scene is very spectacular. In the words of experts, it is a 180-degree sea view room.
After the entourage put their luggage in, Fan Wubing sat down, and someone immediately came over to prepare hot coffee or something for them. After taking a few sips, Fan Wubing lay on the sand where he could see the sea, with a pillow on his pillow. Arm, looking at the sun that was about to set and the sparkling sea level, asked the executives of the Australian company, "What's the problem that requires me to come here in person?"
Yang Mingyi, the manager of the Australian company, replied carefully, "It was the Western Australia government that changed the governor, so there were some problems with the previous agreement, but the most important thing is that the governor of the Western Australia government, Hobit, wanted to see Mr. Fan. myself, and then have some in-depth discussions about in-depth collaboration.”
Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Oh, it's easy to deal with if it's not a troublemaker. But do we still need to go to Western Australia? It's really too desolate over there for my taste."
Fundamentally speaking, Fan Wubing is still a lively person. Although he occasionally goes to the mountains to rest for a while, it is more difficult for him to live in the mountains for several years like his master Fan Tianlan without moving. Therefore, Fan Wubing didn't like the environment in Western Australia where you could drive all day and see few passers-by, and the primitive atmosphere.
If it weren't for the indispensable iron ore resources in Western Australia waiting for him to exploit, Fan Wubing would be unlikely to come to Australia to develop. After all, apart from being a larger place and sparsely populated, there is nothing more exciting here. The place that attracted him.
Besides, the political environment here in Australia is a bit weird, and Fan Wubing is not very adaptable. Thinking of having to deal with these politicians, Fan Wubing feels a little frowned.
"Hobbit is quite a good person. I guess he actually wants us to invest more in Western Australia to support him in achieving a good political performance during his term. Moreover, Mr. Fan does not need to go to Western Australia, because Hobbit himself has arrived in Sydney and can come to visit you tomorrow," Yang Mingyi explained to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that this person was quite well-informed and had the largest investor. If he wanted to achieve political achievements, how could he not win over investors? He has already come from thousands of miles away. It would be outrageous if he were allowed to go to Western Australia again.
Iron ore investment in Western Australia actually does not require financing at all. It is just that Fan Wubing, based on the principle of resource utilization, hopes to solve the funding problem through the operation of the capital market, which will better improve domestic economics. Investors see how business should be done, otherwise they think it will cost a lot of money to invest overseas.
Sometimes, it is not easy to change an opinion, especially when some wrong ideas have long been ingrained in the minds of Chinese people. There must be a successful example to tell them that what you are doing is wrong, and then you can completely change them. This is also Fan Wubing’s original intention.
The current Van's Western Australia Iron Ore Development Company is already the third largest iron ore producer in Australia. It has about 100,000 square kilometers of exploration territory in the Pilbara mining area, which is about nine times that of Rio Tinto. BHP Billiton's Sixteen times, but Fan's mining areas are all in the barren land between Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and they are shallow iron ore deposits abandoned by the two. In addition, the transportation railway lines and seaports in the mining area were basically built ten years ago, and there are natural competition barriers for new entrants. Therefore, although Fan Investment Group now owns more than 3 billion tons of iron ore resources, , but the current production capacity is still very low, less than 20 million tons.
The annual output of 20 million tons of iron ore is probably enough for a large domestic steel mill to consume in one year. Therefore, the most important task of Fan's Western Australia Iron Ore Development Company now is to expand production capacity.
Although the expansion of production capacity has been done, the progress is not very fast because Fan Wubing wants to raise funds from the capital market. Investors see that Fan's current scale is still small, and they are also optimistic about their ability to expand. There are doubts about whether Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton can survive the market monopoly, so the market response is not very enthusiastic.
Based on this situation, the newly appointed Governor of Western Australia, Hobbitt, believes that there seems to be some problems with Fan Investment Group's investment in Western Australia. Without a large amount of capital as support, this mining area probably has no future, so He wanted to meet Fan Wubing in person and discuss investment issues.
After Fan Wubing figured out the situation here, he smiled a little. In fact, the complicated situation here was caused by himself. He just wanted everyone to see what he could do with nothing. It is also for my father Fan Heng, Boss Zhu and others to understand that it is not necessary to invest real money to open overseas markets. China's market demand is a good catalyst, the best catalyst that can heat up the capital market.
With this catalyst, you can get as much investment as you want, and it’s very convenient.
The next day, Fan Wubing met the silver-haired Hobbit Governor. He was a short, honest little old man with a reddish nose. He looked like a circus clown. I really don’t know what the aesthetic taste of Australians is like. They don’t even pay attention to appearance when it comes to the election of leaders?
Hobbit expressed a very warm welcome to Fan Wubing's arrival, and among the entourage he brought with him, there was actually a Chinese employee, a relatively energetic Taiwanese lady, who looked about 20 years old. He looks like he is five or six years old, but his skin color is a little darker, which is the result of frequent sunbathing.
After the old man Hobbit was polite to Fan Wubing, he got to the point, "As far as I know, Fan Investment Group has very abundant funds. Why is there so little investment in Western Australia?"
This is also the question of most Western Australian officials here. The relationship between Australia and Indonesia is relatively close. Because of this, they all know that Fan Wubing provided US$50 billion to the Habibie government in Jakarta. Economic assistance to help the Habibie government stabilize the situation in Indonesia.
Since Fan Wubing is so rich, why does he still want to play some tricks in Australia to make money by listing his company?
