Chapter 1771 The proud Wei Li
Because the central part is a huge and boundless desert, almost all towns and large-scale people live around the coastline.
Among them, the east and west coastlines are the most dense.
To the east is Australia's historical economic and cultural center, with cities such as Sydney there.
Western Australia is a little remote.
Before iron ore was discovered, the population here was less than 1 million.
With the development of iron ore trade for twenty ore forty years, and more immigrants have chosen Western Australia, which has given better conditions, so the recent population of Western Australia has only reached around 2 million.
Among them, Perth and surrounding satellite towns account for 1.3 million, which shows Perth's status in the entire Western Australia.
The remaining 700,000 people are thanks to the immigration of Xiangjiang.
There are about 220,000 people in this area, and the branches are in the northwest, which greatly enriches these territories.
Regarding these immigrants, the people of Western Australians actually have less doubts than their concepts than they would be 30 years later.
They are still very simple now. In addition, the residents of Xiangjiang, especially those from Wankang Company, are carefully selected, so they give the people in Western Australia a good impression.
Of course, these people stay in the countryside and work hard, but will not come to the city to grab their job opportunities. They have helped solve many municipal engineering problems there. They don’t need to allocate much resources. By the way, the vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables grown by their families can also enrich everyone’s dining table content. What country does people in this country do not like this?
As the richest man in the world and the chairman of a huge group company, Yin Jun came to Western Australia and could not be relaxed and accompanied his wife and children every day.
Otherwise, he would not have brought Ye Linqinwa with him.
Zhao Yazhi knew that Yin Jun was busy at work, but when he saw the little man staying at home even when he was working, he immediately came to accompany him and the child in his stomach when he finished his work. He had to accompany Xiaoguang to practice basketball at night, but he never complained about hardship and fatigue, and was always full of bright smiles... Such a husband made Zhao Yazhi feel that even if he gave birth to a child for him, it was worth it.
Of course, Zhao Yazhi knew that her husband was in the iron ore mining area of Western Australia, so she asked Yin Jun to take time to go there so that he would not be told that he would ignore the affairs of the branch here. He seemed not very enthusiastic and would make the company's employees feel neglected.
Yin Jun did not do this.
He was not a big business person.
In Yin Jun's opinion, the best life is to live a rich life. You can watch books and movies every day, and then sleep with a beautiful wife, beautiful concubine at night. That would be the best.
Now Zhao Yazhi has clearly reached the due date. Although it is estimated that it will be the end of the month, no one can tell this matter. What if Yin Jun was in the iron mine area with inconvenient transportation and communication, how could he come back and see his child and the goddess sister after giving birth at the first sight?
A common saying in later generations is that people need a sense of ritual in life.
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.
What kind of big things like giving birth is very important to any woman. Once your man is not around, the feeling of loss can be imagined.
Naturally, Yin Jun could not make Zhao Yazhi feel regretful. He would rather wait until the child is born before going to the northwest.
But Yin Jun couldn't go over, but Wei Li came over himself.
Chen Ben, who is already in the meeting, now lives in Perth. When Zhao Yazhi came to Western Australia, he brought his wife and daughter to visit him.
Wei Li was busy with work, and just called him politely and didn't care about this.
In the pasture of the manor, Yin Jun couldn't help but nod his head secretly when he looked at Wei Li, who was obviously in a different state of mind than before.
"It's all thanks to you, Jun, who pointed out a path full of hope and imagination to me." Wei Li himself sighed, "Living in a small place like Xiangjiang, my vision and mind are too narrow. When I came to Western Australia, I realized what a vast world is and I have made great achievements."
He is right.
More than a year ago, although Wei Li had his own small career, he felt very frustrated and unhappy.
Why?
Because he was rushed from the position of Hutchison Whampoa, one of the four major overseas shops in Hong Kong!
The merger of Hutchison and Huangpu two major companies was done by Wei Li.
He made Hutchison Whampoa reach the level of the four major overseas banks in Hong Kong, but was eventually dismissed and was not even aware of Hutchison Whampoa being sold. It was a great humiliation!
But he had no way to take revenge, and he was even less able to fight back.
Because the person who drove him off the stage was called Chen Bi.
HSBC's senior class,
HSBC's status in Hong Kong is basically the same as the Federal Reserve's status in the United States, strong and domineering.
Even Yin Jun, who is now the richest man in the world, cannot have a conflict with HSBC in Xiangjiang. Instead, he has to treat Chen Bi carefully, let alone a migrant worker like Wei Li.
So Wei Li didn't even have the idea of resisting at all. At most, he could only talk a few words, but he knew that he couldn't stand up 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 Wei Li didn't expect was that under Yin Jun's guidance, he could find the iron ore so quickly, and it was a super-large iron ore area.
The Christmas Creek Iron Mine, a mining area with a total of 1.5 billion tons and 65% super iron ore, actually has at least 500 million tons of ore, which is the largest mining area found in Western Australia in the past five years. It has brought Kirin Mining Company a valuation of US$30 billion in one breath.
The key is that this valuation was recognized by people. In the end, together with the main transportation roads, highways, railways and ports, the package price was 31.5 billion US dollars, and it was subscribed by 20% of the shares by Xiangjiang merchants.
More than 100 Xiangjiang companies have invested in this investment.
When Wei Li returned to Xiangjiang in July this year, he received the most widespread attention from the media, and he was surrounded and intercepted everywhere. The people who talked and ate with him were all business leaders, which was even more majestic than him in Hutchison Whampoa.
It was also at that moment that Wei Li truly felt that he had escaped from Chen Bi's shadow and had become the omnipotent "company doctor" again.
When he was discovered from the iron mine area and left the commercial inspection tour group, Wei Li was busy with mining preparations, transportation dredging construction, port construction and other work.
He recruited seven or eight managers in one go, which was a bit inadequate.
Although he was very busy, his overall scale would eventually exceed 100,000 people, which made Wei Li feel excited when he thought about it. He must do his best to let the whole world know that the business world has someone like himself!
Therefore, Wei Li admired Yin Jun, his mentor, and a genius who was close to God, and regarded every word as an imperial edict.
"At present, the various equipment needed in the mining area is being built overtime." Wei Li walked on the grass and reported to Yin Junhui, "Because you said you need to mine as soon as possible and as much as possible, we bought more, and many machinery need to be customized, so you need to wait in time.
The mining area itself is already doing all kinds of preparations! In fact, the mining areas in Western Australia are very good, basically open-pit mines, which are much better than those mines. So we basically do some house construction, equipment and place construction, fixing and safety work. Experienced engineering teams can do all of them within one year."
"Do you still think I'm too impatient to do this?" Yin Jun asked with a smile.
Wei Li actually didn't understand Yin Jun's requirement that "it will be officially mined in two years and the output will increase to 100 million tons per year in four years."
In his opinion, with the current price of offshore iron ore of about 20 US dollars per ton, such a large-scale rapid mining is not a good thing at all, and it means a bit of a waste of resources.
It is best 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 production scale.
"Yes." Wei Li smiled, "It's like this from a business perspective, but from a political perspective, it's very necessary... After all, in the future, your development will be in mainland China!"
Wei Li is a very smart person and a person who is very good at seeing the essence through phenomena. Otherwise, he would not have been able to save those companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy and let them bloom in new flowers.
Yin Jun felt like he was exhausted, but from the perspective of the development and demand in mainland China, cheap and high-quality iron ore would definitely be a timely help.
Once you have this advantage, are you worried that Qilin Group’s business in mainland China will not be able to do well?
Yin Junhe asked again after the head: "Those shareholders have not made trouble with you recently?"
"There are still some. I asked them to sell their shares back, but they refused." Wei Li shrugged, "To put it bluntly, I just want to get more benefits. Jun Jun, how can they be willing to get off the boat in the business you are interested in?"
Because Yin Jun wants to do the iron ore business, everyone knows that this will definitely make a lot of money in the future, definitely not just $30 billion.
Those who are noisy and think that the mining was too fierce at the beginning are small shareholders with less than 0.1% of the shares.
They just want to get more benefits when doing this. Anyway, if they can't get it, they can't lose it, right?
Those giants like Mr. Huo and the King of Shipbuilding knew the reason why Yin Jun did this.
They also have business in the mainland. With such a shareholder of Qilin Mining Company, they will be much more convenient for their work, and only idiots will make trouble!
