Winter passes and spring comes, and summer arrives in the blink of an eye.
The summer of 1980 was a bit sultry. This year, Kowloon New Century Company developed a wall-mounted air conditioner. After it was put on the market, it was snapped up.
One unit is worth 10,000 Hong Kong dollars! However, for the wealthy people who pursue coolness, this amount of money is nothing.
Wall-mounted air conditioners are the first generation of air conditioners. They are noisy and bulky, so they naturally require more raw materials.
After being launched on the market, there was a rush to buy it all over the world, making huge profits, and the demand for raw materials was increasing.
Especially the demand for iron ore cannot be met domestically.
After Lu Weidong received the report, he thought about it for a while and then told Chuanwa to prepare for a trip to Australia.
The global iron ore central base is in Australia.
In the future, Australia will account for 70% of the world's iron ore exports. Among the top ten iron ore mines in the world, Australia's Western Australia will account for seven. It can be said that Australia is a big iron ore underground.
At the moment, Australia's iron ore has not yet been mined. They currently rely on agriculture and the wool textile industry. This is the time for Lu Weidong to enter.
After some preparations, Lu Weidong led Chuan Wa, Li Liwen and others onto the plane and headed for Australia.
At present, Australia is still under the influence of British Street.
Lu Weidong's arrival alarmed people from six locations in Australia.
Soon, members of the John family in Australia found Lu Weidong and his party where they were staying.
"Lu! Nice to see you!" Little John smiled and held Lu Weidong's palm.
He is the eldest son of Congressman John, the eldest grandson of old John, and the future successor of the John family. His status is extraordinary.
Lu Weidong smiled back, and after shaking hands with Little John, he glanced at Lawyer Brown behind Little John, smiled at Little John: "John, Brown is with you, this is a boring thing, right?"
Little John smiled with deep understanding: "Lu! You are so right! Brown is devoted to the law. This is really a bad feeling for me."
"Ha! Because I'm so familiar with Brown!" Lu Weidong laughed, let go of Little John, and walked towards Brown. After shaking hands, he hugged and said happily: "Brown, we haven't seen you for a long time! See you now,
It really makes me happy."
"Lu! Me too! Haven't been to Xiangjiang in three years? By the way, how is Matthew?" Lawyer Brown said excitedly.
Lu Weidong took a step back and said with a smile: "He has gone to Yinsanxiang to develop and is a director of a bank."
After hearing this, Lawyer Brown showed a hint of reminiscence on his face and said with a smile: "Great! This reminds me of when we worked together in the bank. God! Time flies so fast! Matthew is more promising than me.
."
"Ha! You're not bad either! If you stay with John, your future will be bright." Lu Weidong said with a smile.
Afterwards, Lu Weidong introduced his apprentices Chuan Wa and Li Liwen to Little John.
Little John smiled and nodded towards the two of them, then looked at Lu Weidong and said: "Lu! I received news from the Sixth Bureau. I came here to inquire. I wonder what urgent matters you have brought to Australia?"
After hearing this, Lu Weidong smiled and frowned: "What? Now I have to be watched by people from the Sixth Office when I go out?"
"No! No! People in the Sixth Office are afraid that you will be in danger, so..." Little John smiled, his smile a little forced.
People from the Sixth Bureau must have heard about the death of a group of death mercenaries in the Kowloon Tower in Dubai.
Coupled with the incident at the Kowloon Walled Church, people from the Sixth Division judged that Lu Weidong was a mysterious super master, which was a very terrifying thing.
Although there is no personal witness or evidence, the scene where Lu Weidong used a gun to kill the madman Tian Nin left a deep impression on General Green, the former head of Hong Kong Sixth Branch. Therefore, Lu Weidong's label has been branded as dangerous.
A super-powerful business tycoon.
The British possessions, three continents and four oceans, naturally need to be taken seriously. After discovering Lu Weidong's traces, they must be reported and followed up.
Lu Weidong knew all this, but he didn't point it out.
After all, now is the time for the people of the motherland to integrate into the international family, and the international market is gradually opening up to the people of the motherland.
And large international consortiums are beginning to prepare to enter the Chinese market.
At this time, the contradictions were covered up, and everyone was waiting for the motherland to open the door.
As a big businessman and banker in Xiangjiang, Lu Weidong's personal life is safe in this environment.
This is also the fundamental reason why a group of Death God mercenaries were wiped out, and the person in charge of Death did not go to Lu Weidong to settle the score.
Of course, Lu Weidong deeply welcomes the other party to come to his door. Unfortunately, George, the head of the Morgan consortium, has withdrawn the reward Lu Weidong offered.
Perhaps, the other party realizes that if they really want to blatantly offer a reward to mercenaries to assassinate Lu Weidong, they will inevitably suffer a counterattack from the motherland.
Although the Morgan Consortium has vast magical powers, they are not arrogant enough to believe that they have the power to provoke the people of the motherland.
People from the Sixth Branch of Yinglun Street were also afraid that something might happen to Lu Weidong in the territory.
Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to the people of the motherland.
After all, Lu Weidong is no longer an ordinary businessman in Xiangjiang. The people behind him are the people of the motherland.
Participating in important negotiations twice has demonstrated Lu Weidong's transcendent status in the motherland.
Lu Weidong shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Ha! Let them worry! Right now, I am here to invest. I am optimistic about Australia's future development."
After hearing this, Little John's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Really? Lu, are you ready to enter the Australian financial industry?"
The corner of Lu Weidong's mouth raised, he shook his head with a smile and said: "Although I have this intention, I'm afraid it will be a bit laborious. John, I am here this time to visit Australian business leaders to see if there is any hope of cooperation."
"Ha! Lu! Our John family has always supported you! Lu, how about we join forces?" Little John said excitedly.
He had heard the story of Lu Weidong's fortune, and he admired Lu Weidong in his heart.
Of course, it’s just admiration! At heart, he is the foolish son of a noble family, and he will always look down on the lower class.
Just when they were saying hello, this guy didn't even bother to shake hands with Chuan Wa and Li Liwen. This is exactly what a noble nobleman's stupid son looks like.
Lu Weidong smiled slightly, "John! This is exactly what I want to see. After seeing you, I suddenly realized that I will definitely cooperate with you this time."
"Great! Lu! Let's go in and talk! Let's kill each other in Financial Street!" Little John was so happy that he greeted Lu Weidong, and he took the lead and walked towards the sofa in the living room.
Soon, the others retreated.
Lu Weidong and Little John were sitting on the sofa, talking about the business situation.
Little John introduced in detail the business affairs in Australia.
After hearing this, Lu Weidong made a preliminary judgment on the Australian economy.
At present, this country has entered a stage of development, with a large amount of international hot money flowing in and beginning to develop boundless virgin land.
Today, almost 80% of Australia's territory is waiting to be developed. The livestock industry is developed, and much of the food needs to be exported, accounting for about 30% of the international market share.
Coupled with its stable environment, Australia is already one of the best countries for Western companies to invest.
"Lu! How about it? How about joining forces with me to enter the financial industry?" Little John looked at Lu Weidong expectantly.
After hearing this, Lu Weidong smiled slightly and said: "It's not the time for the financial industry! Right now, I'm thinking about entering the mining industry. I'm going to invest 100 million US dollars to mine metal mines."
After hearing this, Little John frowned and said: "This... this is so troublesome! How much money can I earn? I think it is not as fast as the financial industry."
"Ha! I'm no longer interested in the financial industry! What I'm interested in are industrial raw materials!" Lu Weidong said with a smile.
After hearing this, Little John had a look of disappointment on his face. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "What a pity! Lu, I originally thought we would join forces!"......
Little John looked discouraged and led the people away.
Afterwards, Lu Weidong followed the plan, visited politicians, and established a mining company, Lishi, in Western Australia.
Three months later, Lishi Company discovered a large iron ore deposit in the Barra Basin, with 32 billion tons of mineral reserves, including 251 tons of rich iron ore, making it the largest iron ore in Australia.
Stone quarry.
As soon as the news came out, it shocked Australia and the world.
International iron ore prices plummeted, instantly dropping by a quarter...
Little John found Lu Weidong, and this time, he changed from usual, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Lu! I really didn't expect that! You are so lucky!" Little John sighed.
This iron ore deposit is a huge cornucopia!
Its value is equivalent to that of an international small and medium-sized bank.
Little John thought that in the three years since he came to Australia, he had accomplished nothing and his grades were mediocre.
And Lu Weidong, in just three months, unearthed a cornucopia, which made Little John jealous to death.
"Ha! John! I said that mining can also make a lot of money! What? How about our cooperation?" Lu Weidong laughed.
"Cooperation?" Little John's eyes lit up. He stood up suddenly and said happily to Lu Weidong: "Lu! Are you inviting me to join the mining team? Tell me! How much does it cost to transfer an iron ore deposit?"<
/p>
Lu Weidong smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't want to cooperate with others in the Mara Basin. But, how about we join forces in other places?"
After hearing this, Little John was a little discouraged and said: "Can such a rich large-scale iron ore deposit be found again?"
"Ha! Believe me! There must be!" Lu Weidong laughed.
Under Lu Weidong's persuasion, Little John finally agreed.
The two parties jointly invested in the establishment of a mining company named Rio Tinto.
The total investment is 50 million pounds, with each party owning 50% of the equity and jointly managing its assets.
After the establishment of Rio Tinto, a large-scale iron ore was discovered in the mountains of Newman Town, Western Australia, with a length of up to five kilometers and a width of three kilometers. The reserves were astonishing, reaching tens of billions of tons. It was the second largest iron ore after the Mara Basin.
Large iron ore deposits.
After Little John learned the news, he danced excitedly and organized the company staff to have a carnival.
At this time, Lu Weidong, Chuan Wa and others had already left Australia.
At present, Lu Weidong occupies two of the seven future large-scale iron ore deposits in Australia.
In particular, the large iron ore mines in the Mara Basin account for more than 70% of Australia's entire iron ore reserves.
Lu Weidong lost interest in fighting for the remaining scum.
Right now, he has enough iron ore deposits to mine for more than a hundred years.
Having raw materials in hand makes his products more competitive.
This time next year will be the time when Kowloon Motors tops the global sales rankings.
From now on, his Hong Kong Automobile King will be changed to the World Automobile King. After Amerford, perhaps, this honor belongs to him, Lu Weidong, the second person.
Lu Weidong left Australia in a hurry because the Iran-Iraq war broke out.
Transporting oil from the Middle East will risk war.
The fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond! Right now, oil transportation in the Middle East has almost come to a standstill.
Thanks to Lu Weidong's long-term reserves, the motherland has up to 5 billion barrels of oil reserves. The motherland can use this oil at a low price, so the motherland is not in a hurry.
Other Guo Jia also reduced their dependence on Middle East oil and vigorously developed domestic oil. After the Iran-Iraq war broke out, the entire Persian Gulf was blocked.
Other oil countries are unable to sell oil, which makes some emirates anxious.
Colonel Ka was one of them. One month after the war broke out, he immediately called Lu Weidong to discuss the oil transaction.
The current Colonel Ka has become the supreme governor a few years ago. The emirate under his leadership has recovered all the domestic oil fields and made them state-owned.
This offended Amir and the United States, and the two countries have severed diplomatic relations.
Colonel Cardiff doesn't care about this. He has nearly 400 tons of gold in his treasury and is preparing to establish a pan-African currency that does not trade in U.S. dollars to compete with the U.S. dollar.
This made Ami hate Colonel Ka so much that she always wanted to overthrow Colonel Ka's rule.
The plane landed in Luohu, and Director Nie and Director Ye came to greet it in person.
"Weidong! We must go to the Middle East for a trip." Director Nie held Lu Weidong's palm with a happy look on his face.
At present, the Iran-Iraq war breaks out in the Middle East, which is beneficial to the people of the motherland.
After all, the reserves of 5 billion barrels of oil make the people of the motherland not afraid of oil market turbulence.
In the entire global chemical market, the proportion of people from the motherland is getting higher and higher, more and more products are exported, and more raw materials are in demand for imports.
Many large foreign-funded companies have begun to try to enter the 49 cities to communicate and negotiate about building factories. There are many signs that global hot money is beginning to pour into the motherland.
Director Nie thinks this is a good thing!
This is a powerful boost to economic construction!
In the future, economic construction will reach a higher level!
Lu Weidong smiled and greeted Director Nie and Director Ye. After that, the three of them left the airport and transferred into a special car. The convoy slowly started and headed towards the Luohu Office Building.
In the car.
Director Nie introduced the current situation in the Middle East to Lu Weidong. At the end, he said to Lu Weidong: "Colonel Ka will invite you to come by name! Weidong, do you know the reason?"
Lu Weidong smiled slightly and said: "This is his first year as the leader of an international organization, and it is also his first time as a regional leader. I think that the first thing he will do when he takes office is to post hero posts widely and prepare to discuss major issues."<
/p>
"Oh? What's the big deal with him? Does he want to preside over peace negotiations?" Director Nie said in surprise.
"This is one of them! In addition, I guess we need to establish a currency to pit against the US dollar." Lu Weidong said with a smile.
