After seeing off Zhou Wen, Liu Ziguang returned to the East Asia Hotel. He rented several rooms here as a long-term base. Now it is no longer what it used to be. The business is getting bigger and there are more staff around him. Dongfang Ke, Wei Ziqian,
Bei Xiaoshuai, Hu Guang, and two tall Russian bodyguards Alexander and Vasily, that's six people, not counting the peripheral personnel.
Since Fidel, the former military attache in China, became the king's military attache, Jose has also followed suit. When the kingdom is in the midst of hiring people, he was given the title of deputy foreign minister. Now he is considered a high-level government official. For the king and
Jose also heard some rumors about Mr. Liu’s relationship from his son. In Fidel’s words, Mr. Liu was almost like His Majesty’s godfather. Ambassador Jose, who had been raping Chinese culture for many years, suddenly understood that he was
It is the last word that we should unite closely around Mr. Liu and carry out work.
In order to thank Liu Ziguang and his companions for their outstanding contributions in helping the people of Western Saddamoa overthrow the tyranny and restore freedom, and also to carry out reconstruction work more conveniently, the Royal Government contracted the port, airport, and railway projects to Liu Ziguang's affiliated companies
Hongshi Holdings is fully operated and operated by Hongshilai and conducts bidding on a global scale. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Western Saddamoa has notified the governments of various countries. The Chinese government attaches great importance to such a huge project. The State Council instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We will fully cooperate with relevant departments to ensure that these projects are won.
In order to facilitate work, Redstone Holdings has opened several branches in the country, one in Hong Kong, one in the capital and one in Shanghai. They are all top-notch office buildings. They have also hired some elites in the industry to handle daily affairs. The business has grown.
, there are big businesses worth billions or tens of billions, and the talents under his command are not enough. Neither Wei Ziqian nor Dongfang Ke has the experience and ability to handle such complex and huge business, so Liu Ziguang hired
As the CEO of Hongshi Domestic, Hu Qingsong is responsible for the company's operations, and he can just be the hands-off shopkeeper.
Although it was already late at night, Dongfang Ke still knocked on Liu Ziguang's door with a face of surprise and said that he had found a treasure. Then he took out the computer and showed it to Liu Ziguang. The screen was all in English. Although Liu Ziguang passed the oral test, he encountered a lot of people.
The professional vocabulary was only enough to catch someone blind, so he asked Dongfang Ke: "What is this?"
"Baby, real treasure, last time Demi told me that she copied a large number of documents and files from Thorpe's computer. I asked her to send them to me by email, and then I found this..."
After listening, Liu Ziguang rubbed his chin and said, "No wonder Thorp is so concerned about this matter, but although the stuff is good, it's not easy to get it."
Dongfang Ke chuckled: "Let's take a long-term view. If we can't do it, Thorpe can't do it even less."
"Okay, let's leave it alone for now. Let's deal with the iron ore matter before we study this matter." Liu Ziguang said.
…
The next day, in the conference room of China Mining Development Group, the two parties were having a heated debate on whether to withdraw from the Tangkeri Iron Ore Project in Sierra Leone. So far, the partner African Mining Company has made slow progress, and its iron ore output is far below the expected target.
, and most of them are 30% grade poor iron ore, which is of little significance in solving domestic iron ore demand. Recently, the world's three major iron ore giants have changed their pricing methods, torn up long-term price agreements, and quarterly prices have increased by 20%.
Fifth, for this alone, domestic steel companies will have to pay an additional US$2 billion per month.
Therefore, Huaxia Mining, as a key enterprise of the State Council, is under a lot of pressure. Xue Danping, who is the decision maker of the Tangkelili Iron Ore Project, is under even more pressure. The group is not a monolith. How many people are coveting the position of president. Now that the project has been stranded, some people will jump in immediately.
They came out to accuse this and that.
In fact, it was not a big deal at first. It was only a billion dollars. It could be passed away with a simple "pay the tuition fee", but something happened that pushed Xue Danping to the crater. Also in West Africa, reserves of up to three million dollars were discovered.
Billions of tons of rich iron ore. What's more serious is that the mineral holders approached China Mining for investment a few months ago, but were turned away.
It is said that even the Prime Minister heard about this incident. Although he did not criticize anyone by name, he gave instructions that the state's funds must be used on practical investment projects and not be blindly launched with no aim.
As a result, Xue Danping was on pins and needles. She tried her best to deal with those people with ulterior motives at the board meeting. Four hours passed before she knew it. Everyone was thirsty. Mr. Xue announced a temporary adjournment of the meeting and returned to his office.
Called Dong Secretary Yi Yongheng in.
"Xiao Yi, are what they said true?" Xue Danping asked.
Yi Yongheng was sweating profusely. He belonged to Mr. Xue. If Mr. Xue failed, his future would not be much better. Although it was easy to change jobs, all the hard work in the past few years would have been in vain.
"It's true..." he whispered.
"Louder, I can't hear you." Xue Danping said coldly.
“Mr.
He still felt that his decision was blameless under the circumstances.
I thought Mr. Xue would be furious, but Xue Danping was relieved: "It's good that it's true. Your task now is to find them and try to get this project over again at all costs. All the resources of the company are at your disposal.
You have to win this project, do you understand?"
How could Yi Yongheng not understand this? He immediately straightened his back and said, "I understand!"
"Okay, you go down." Xue Danping dismissed Yi Yongheng, picked up the phone and dialed her son's number. When she was exhausted physically and mentally, being able to hear her son's voice was her greatest comfort.
"Xiao Bing, how have you been lately?"
"Mom, I'm doing fine. I'm very happy here in Jiangbei. I've also written several blog posts. You can check them online when you have time. By the way, I... need some money."
Xue Danping sat up straight and asked: "How much does it cost and what is it used for?"
"It's about 500,000 yuan. I want to buy a house in Jiangbei. Wen Xue and his family are living in a very hard life. The top floor is in the west. It's an old building from the 1960s. The wires are aging and there is no property management. The environment is so bad that it's almost impossible to live in.
.”
Xue Danping was shocked: "You... you won't live together anymore, right?"
Han Bing smiled: "Mom, where are you thinking? How can Wen Xue live in such a small family? She lives with her father, Lu Jin and I live in a youth hostel, and the three of us work at McDonald's. It's interesting.
.”
Xue Danping breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thinking of her ex-husband, feeling a little sad in her heart, she asked: "Xiaoxue's father, is he okay?"
"Uncle Wen is very nice, gentle, knowledgeable and wise. We have been friends for years. However, his health is not good. He is sick all the time and his living conditions are poor. So I want to buy a house for them to live in.
Houses here in Jiangbei are not very expensive, the ones in the city center are less than 8,000 yuan per square meter..."
Listening to what her son was saying over there, Xue Danping pictured Old Wen's handsome and tall figure in her mind. Unknowingly, the corners of her eyes got wet. It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong about what happened back then. After a night of husband and wife's kindness, Old Wen was
A man held his daughter for eighteen years, suffered so much hardship and suffered so much, which made Xue Danping very sad.
"Mom, are you listening?" After talking for a long time but no response, Han Bing was a little puzzled.
"Listen, you want to buy a house for Xiaoxue to live in, right? Mom doesn't object, but she wants you to think carefully about whether Xiaoxue will accept it and whether it will be good for her future? You know, mom is
Group president, let alone a house worth 500,000 yuan, you can easily buy a villa worth tens of millions, but if my mother is not the president, how will you handle this matter?"
Although Xue Danping loves her son deeply, she is also a very profound entrepreneur. These sincere words obviously touched Han Bing. He was silent for a while and said: "I understand, Mom, I am a man, so I have to do manly things.
It’s all up to you, I won’t talk anymore, I’m going to work.”
Putting down the phone, Xue Danping sighed and began to plan her way out. She did not dare to place all her hopes on Yi Yongheng. If the project could not be obtained and Tang Kerili's divestment did not go smoothly, even if she was the president, she would be finished. What could the Han family give her?
Help can’t reach this level. As I said before, you have to rely on yourself for everything.
At this time, Yi Yongheng had already entered a state of rage. He was frantically searching for the ore analysis report in his office. The report was not very important. The key was that there was contact information on it. After all, it was a few months ago. That report
He had entered the shredder a long time ago, so how could he possibly find it? Yi Changheng thought hard and recalled it for a long time before he remembered that those two people seemed to have been introduced by Mr. Fei from Beiqing University, so he immediately called Mr. Fei.
After all, Mr. Fei was old and his memory was not very good. After Yi Yongheng reminded him again and again, he remembered: "Oh, that's what happened. That young man played Go very well. I was at the home of Professor Nan Wenyuan of Jiangdong University.
For those who know him, it is true that he is from Jiangdong Province, but I really don’t have contact information.”
Yi Changheng was secretly happy. Finding any clues was a victory. He opened the phone book and searched around. He found a deputy director of the Jiangdong Provincial Mining Department and asked him for Professor Nan's contact information. Fortunately, the deputy director
When I was studying for a doctoral degree at Jiangdong University, Professor Nan was his doctoral supervisor, so I successfully connected with him.
After all, it was inappropriate to make such an abrupt call. Yi Yongheng immediately booked the nearest flight to Jiangdong Provincial City and flew there that afternoon. The deputy director personally took a car to the airport to greet him, and then the two of them arrived.
Professor Nan’s home.
After sending the gift, Yi Yongheng mentioned the purpose of the trip. Professor Nan thought about it and said: "There really is such a person. I remember it was the year before last. A young man came to my house to write about their mayor's thesis.
It seems like, yes, that mayor is now the provincial education director, Zhou Zhongda, yes, that’s him.”
"So, how can we find that young man?" Yi Yongheng asked.
Professor Nan shook his head: "I don't have contact information here. I'm afraid you have to go find Director Zhou."
Yi Yongheng and his friend, the deputy director, looked at each other, stood up and said, "Thank you, Professor Nan."
After leaving Professor Nan's house, we went straight to the Provincial Department of Education. However, when we asked at the Department of Education, we found out that Director Zhou had gone to France to inspect basic education and would not be back until a week later.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people working in the Education Department. It was not easy to ask for Director Zhou's contact information. Fortunately, Yi Yongheng was not an ordinary person. Once the network of the secretary of the board of directors of a large group was spread, there was nothing he could do.
When things didn't work out, he quickly got Zhou Zhongda's mobile phone number from other channels and made a call.
It was already the afternoon off work time in China, but the sun was still shining brightly in Europe. When Director Zhou received the call, he was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Isn't it Liu Ziguang you are looking for?"
…
I'm on a business trip today, so the next update may be a little later. I have no time to read, and I've read The Iron Age. I'm going to read my other book "The Martial Arts Empire". It has more than one million words, which is good to pass the time.
