Pieno silently glanced at Mr. Mondale and saw that a smile could not help appearing on his dark face. He was grinning happily, as if the elected president was right in front of him. He couldn't help but feel pain in his head.

Fool! If you can’t give the other person what he wants, it’s all just a dream.
The danger of Owl Company is that it can support the Democratic Liberal Party. If you dare to hire a South African EO Company, it can immediately turn around and support another political party to compete with you.
I don’t know if it will work out, but it will definitely be bad.
What about hiring other powerful private armed companies?
The answer is; absolutely impossible.
South Africa's number one EO company is not a fool, and will never accept such a commission to go to war. If it really wants to confront Owl Company, it must transport more tanks, armored vehicles, and even armed helicopters and other military equipment all the way.
The two sides are going head-to-head in a bloody battle, and both sides may lose in the end.
If the Wang consortium behind Owl Company is angered, do you believe that he will buy some Mirage 2000 fighter jets and blow up the hostile mercenary forces to pieces?
Never underestimate the strength of the top consortium. Compared with the huge Wang Consortium, the South African EO Company is a scumbag. The famous American Blackwater Company does not dare to take this business. The water is too deep.
Therefore, the Owl Company in Buzi, Guinea was the only savior early on.
If you can't see this clearly, you still have a few things to do if you want to dream of becoming the president of Guinea.
Regardless of Yang Shouhong's nice words, if they don't come up with the Simandou iron ore development rights they want, they will definitely not get the full support of Owl Company. This is the crux of the problem.
What has nothing to do with Red River Resources Company or the iron ore project...
That's a deliberate attempt to distance yourself from the relationship. Just listen to these words. If you take it seriously, you will definitely lose.
Pieno, who has rich experience in political struggle, has long seen this clearly. He said with a smile: "I'm sorry, President Yang, I'm afraid I have to talk to Mr. Mondell alone. You see..."
"As you please."
"Thanks!"
As a result, Pieno took the confused Mr. Mundell into a separate room for a secret discussion. Soon there was a faint argument inside, and Mr. Mundell seemed very angry.
This side
Yang Shouhong sat firmly on the Diaoyutai with her legs crossed. The chairman of the board has already arranged this matter. No matter how hard you talk about it, you will never give up until you achieve your goal, even if the King of Heaven comes.
Fortunately, it's much better to have an understanding person inside to help with the work. Otherwise, it would be really hard to convince these black uncles by yourself.
Yang Shouhong truly admired the chairman's strategy. Sitting in South Africa, he was strategizing thousands of miles away. These black uncles couldn't do anything if they didn't follow the baton.
It is reasonable to think about it that Mr. Mundell is so angry.
Guinea, a poor agricultural country, is rich in resources, but all the profits have been taken away by multinational mining companies. The annual GDP is only more than 6 billion US dollars, and the total financial budget is tens of millions of US dollars.
Guarding the Simandou Iron Mine, a rare and big piece of meat in the world, but with the poor income of the Guinean government, it has been unable to develop a project as big as the Simandou Iron Mine for two hundred years, and can only leave it to international mining companies for development.
However, from the perspective of the Guinean government, it will never agree to development plan B of using Mittal's railway to transport iron ore.
Because this development plan B will export iron ore through neighboring countries, it is impossible to build a 600km-long dedicated railway line in the country, and it is impossible to build a dedicated iron ore terminal. This reduces countless job opportunities and long-term tax revenue, and involves
Billions of dollars in long-term benefits.
The local government is not so stupid that it cannot even settle this account. This is exactly the development plan advocated by Rio Tinto and Vale.
As the world's major iron ore suppliers, Rio Tinto and Vale are not willing to significantly increase the supply of iron ore, and it is in their long-term interests to keep the price of iron ore strong.
Exploiting China's many steel companies is a wishful thinking of the three major mines.
Honghe Resources Company is different. It proposes a 600km railway line development plan. The planned production capacity in the first phase is 80 million tons. It requires a large-scale development of more than 10 billion US dollars, which is relatively easier for the Guinean government to accept.
Although the battlefield of the competition is in Guinea, the layout of multinational companies is global, and the influence of one move can affect the whole world.
The final ownership of Guinea's Simandou iron ore will certainly affect the 2007 "long-term agreement" iron ore price negotiations that will begin in Sydney in June, and will also have a profound impact on the world's iron ore supply in the future.
The interests involved here amount to hundreds of billions of dollars, and the jobs of millions of steel workers are a truly big game.
Iron ore cannot be eaten or drunk, but industrial development cannot survive without it. Suppliers, mainly the three major mines, control the supply of iron ore and can artificially create a shortage of iron ore.
Even if the supply decreases by 3%, the price of iron ore will soar by 20% or even 30%. Based on the current world demand of 780 million tons, each ton is worth hundreds of dollars. Moreover, China’s demand for iron ore is at
Rapid growth, what an astonishing figure!
South Africa, Johannesburg.
The five-star Hills International Hotel is located on the side of Constitution Hill in the city center, with lush vegetation. The hotel is located on a hill with a pleasant environment. The overall building is 16 stories high. It is an elegant building with a strong Dutch architectural style in the 1920s.
Top floor presidential suite
Outside the open white arched door is an exquisite platform garden. Wang Yaocheng is sitting in the pavilion of the garden working, with a thick stack of documents piled on the table in front of him.
a moment later
Wang Yaocheng raised his head tiredly and stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows. Although the consortium had eight vice-chairmen, each of whom was responsible for his own affairs, there was still a lot of work that was reported to Wang Yaocheng's desk.
It does not involve specific matters, but mostly involves coordination and division of labor regarding corporate development strategies.
Take the consortium real estate business as an example;
Each of its six major real estate companies has its own division of labor and focus, which not only creates economies of scale, but also further amplifies the benefits of collaboration and win-win results among the consortium enterprises.
Thanks to the booming economies of China and Southeast Asia, the development momentum is particularly bright.
There are two major domestic real estate companies, one in the south and one in the north, focusing on commercial real estate development. Pacific Real Estate and Côte d'Azur Real Estate have a total of more than 340 urban shopping malls in first- and second-tier cities and economically developed third-tier cities in China.
It has also cultivated famous brands such as Pacific Real Estate, SOHO Real Estate, Côte d'Azur Real Estate, and Côte d'Azur Real Estate, and developed high-end commercial office buildings and skyscrapers all over the country.
These two real estate companies have joined forces with consortiums such as Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels Group, Carrefour Supermarket Group, Swire Commercial and Marvel Animation to jointly develop the super five-star Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the five-star Hills Hotel, and the Peninsula Hotel
First-class commercial elements such as Carrefour Supermarket, Swire Commercial's famous food and clothing brands, and Marvel Entertainment Cinemas were introduced into the city square to create a shopping street loved by ordinary people and achieved great commercial success.
in Hong Kong
The four kings of the real estate industry each have their own focus in development. The Wharf Group focuses on the development of real estate in Hong Kong and Macao, while Hutchison Whampoa’s business scope covers the entire Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, including commercial real estate, shops, office buildings, docks and public facilities.
There is a lot of investment in other aspects.
As an international metropolis, Hong Kong's real estate industry can more easily meet the requirements for outward development. Whether it is talents, laws or free market environment, it is in line with international standards, making it easier to adapt.
Therefore, two listed companies, Cheung Kong Holdings and Swire Properties, have been adjusted to specialize in cross-border operations.
Swire Properties focuses on developing commercial real estate across Europe and the United States, entering the European and American real estate markets through acquisitions and independent development, and developing commercial office buildings, parking lots, shops, docks and other facilities on a long-term rolling basis. The main source of profit is real estate development and leasing income.
The business scope of Yangtze River Industrial Company is broader, and it plans to enter the field of public facilities in Europe, including water, electricity, gas and urban public transportation, to obtain long-term stable profits.
Generally speaking, the return on investment in the public sector in Europe is between 3.8% and 6%. It has the characteristics of large investment scale, stable income, long payback period, etc., and the income is higher than the inflation rate.
Cheung Kong Enterprises entered this field and found a stable investment channel for the consortium's huge cash flow.
Moreover, investment in the public sector is accompanied by huge social influence, which is also what the consortium values.
Today, the consortium has four major real estate companies in Hong Kong, known as the "Four Kings". They rank first, third, fourth, and seventh respectively in the market value rankings of all real estate companies in Hong Kong. They are extremely powerful.
Swire Properties Group ranks first among all Hong Kong real estate companies in terms of market capitalization, reaching a scale of HK$630 billion. Second is the established real estate company Henderson Land Development Company, with a market capitalization of HK$551 billion. Cheung Kong Holdings ranks third, with a market capitalization of HK$505 billion.
.
Wharf Properties ranked fourth, with a market value of HK$440 billion, and Hutchison Whampoa ranked seventh, with a market value of HK$325 billion.
Wang Yaocheng's unintentional real estate investment returned astonishingly and became an indispensable and important part of the wealth segment of the royal family consortium.
Together, the four kings firmly occupy more than half of the entire Hong Kong real estate industry.
Nowadays, the title "King of Wealth God" is more and more appropriate.
In the pavilion
Wang Yaocheng had the real estate corporate documents he had just finished processing. He took a short break, looked at the thick documents and sighed. With the development of the consortium, he has lost his intuitive concept of wealth.
Even if you do nothing, you can still earn tens of billions of dollars in income every year.
Therefore, with the completion of global business layout, Wang Yaocheng wants to devote more energy to giving back to society.
When your career has reached this point, what you are pursuing is not further accumulation of wealth, but a higher level of pursuit.
In Wang Yaocheng's view, charity is something that should be done, but not all of it. Donating money and materials to poor areas in need is a lazy approach and is far from advisable.
This can indeed change the temporary situation of poor areas, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem.
Only when the country as a whole becomes stronger and the rising tide lifts all boats, will everyone be able to reap rewards from economic development.
Therefore, Wang Yaocheng attaches great importance to the layout of the iron ore industry. Before the outcome of the Simandou iron ore in Guinea, his eyes have already seen the farther direction, copper mines, aluminum mines, natural gas...
Only by mastering huge amounts of wealth can it be possible to deploy in the field of bulk resources and put a rein on the skyrocketing prices of these bulk resources.
