Li Guangyu and his party did not stay in Xiangjiang for long and flew to Perth International Airport in Western Australia on the 0th.
Although Cao Weiqing and several children did not go with Li Guangyu this time, the number of people going to Western Australia was not much less than that of Western Europe.
In addition to Li Guangyu, Gan Qin, and Gu Zhengsheng, there are also Fujiwara Huiyin, president of Regal Hotel Group, Li Xuelan, president of Hengyu Supermarket Group, Zhao Xiaoyan, president of Kowloon Group, Guo Fengtao, vice president of Tianyu Financial Group, Tang Zaichuan, vice president of Xiangjiang Communications Group, and
Source Group Vice President Wayne Shaquille and other group executives.
When Li Guangyu's special plane arrived at Perth International Airport, he was personally picked up by the Governor of Western Australia.
After Li Guangyu got off the plane, Western Australia Government Chief Raul Lopez came forward enthusiastically and said, "Mr. Li, on behalf of Western Australia, I welcome you and its senior officials to come as guests."
As the head of the Western Australia government, Raul Lopez has very clear information about the visiting Lee Consortium and has a general understanding of the strength of their consortium.
This time such a large delegation from the Lee Consortium came, and he could guess the purpose of the Lee Consortium. The reason why Western Australia was so valued by the Li Consortium was probably because of nothing but mineral resources, and it was probably the Pilbara.
Region, currently only there are large-scale mineral veins that can attract the attention of the Li Group.
Raul Lopez is very willing for the Lee Consortium to enter this area. First, with the entry of the Lee Consortium, it can stimulate the local economy, break the monopoly of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and promote the development of Western Australian minerals.
The development and utilization of land is monopolized by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, which does not bring much benefit to the development of Western Australia.
Moreover, the reason why he wanted the Li Consortium to settle in was because he expected to be re-elected in the next term, which required external help.
From the current situation, if there is no change in the situation in Western Australia, the probability of his re-election is very small.
Although he took office with the help of BHP Billiton, there are already some rifts between him and BHP Billiton, and the cooperation is no longer as close as before. This makes him urgently need to find a new ally.
The Li Group that arrived at this time is a very good choice for him. The Li Group is not only developing in mining. Just look at the senior executives who arrived today. You will know that the Li Group is involved in finance, retail, hotels, communications and other industries.
Want to enter Western Australia.
Once these industries take root and grow in Western Australia, the influence of the Lee Group in Western Australia will be very huge, and the power of the Lee Group will be far stronger than that of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.
Li Guangyu already had some understanding of the government officials in Western Australia and the Pilbara region in advance, and he knew the person in front of him.
"Mr. Lopez, thank you very much for your warm reception. I believe I can have a pleasant time in Western Australia this time."
After arriving at the Western Australia Hotel in Perth, Li Guangyu and the senior management of the group held discussions with senior officials of the Western Australian government.
Rolle Lopez, on behalf of the Western Australian government, welcomed the entry of the Lee Group into some industries.
He said, "Mr. Li, we very much welcome your group to come and develop. We in Western Australia not only have minerals, but also have many industries to be developed. It is only because the minerals in the Pilbara region are so dazzling that foreign investors are attracted to them."
Keep an eye on that, and the development of our other industries is relatively lagging behind. I very much hope that your group can drive the development in this area and promote mutual benefit and win-win for both of us."
Although Li Guangyu also focuses on minerals, since the hotel service industry, retail industry, telecommunications industry, etc. here are still lagging behind, this is a good opportunity for his industry to enter Australia. As long as he has a firm foothold in Western Australia,
You can expand to other regions by yourself.
"I am also very optimistic about the future development of Western Australia. We will conduct inspections of Western Australia in the next period. I believe that both of us can achieve a lot of cooperation."
Raul Lopez knows that the Li Group is ambitious. Over the years, the Li Group has been continuously expanding, entering more and more industries, and occupying an increasingly larger market. Now it is estimated that it has stabilized the Greater China region and
The Southeast Asian market is now beginning to enter Western Europe and Australia.
In particular, the Li Group's official entry into the mineral energy industry this time shows that the Li Group is not willing to just become a small group. This is the unchanging truth that top financial groups and families control resources. Now the Li Group is embarking on this journey.
on a road.
He is not worried that the Lee Consortium is ambitious enough. The greater the influence of the Lee Consortium in Australia, the more advantageous it will be for him to run for the top leadership of Australia in the future. He will not be satisfied with serving as the current top minister of Western Australia. He hopes that he can ascend the throne.
Yes, this requires the support of strong allies.
Li Guangyu also understood some of Raul Lopez's thoughts. If Li Guangyu wanted to enter the Western Australian market in a big way, why wouldn't he investigate the situation here?
Raul Lopez is equally ambitious. He is definitely not a politician who is content with the status quo. The reason why he has a rift with BHP Billiton this time is because his ambition is too great.
BHP Billiton is headquartered in Melbourne. In addition, Western Australia is relatively independent in other aspects except for legislative and judicial restrictions. It has its own government prime minister and has great autonomy. BHP Billiton is only willing to support him in Western Australia, while in Australia,
BHP is more willing to support candidates in states where it is headquartered.
Raul Lopez is obviously not willing to just serve as the Prime Minister of Western Australia. He wants to become the Prime Minister of Australia. This urgently requires him to find new allies, and they must be stronger ones.
Over the past year, he had not found a good partner, until the arrival of the Li Group, he saw an opportunity.
The Lee Group has a very large influence in Britain, and Australia belongs to the British Commonwealth. The honorary leader and monarch is in England, and the Prime Minister is approved by the Governor of Australia. Although this is just a formality now, the British influence here is not small.
If he reaches an alliance with the Li Group, it will be of great help to his future political future.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu and Raul Lopez also had separate talks to discuss some cooperation between them.
After dinner, Li Guangyu held a meeting with various senior executives, the focus of which was to open a Regal Hotel here as a place for the Li Group to stay in the future.
At the same time, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Tianyu Bank are inspecting the market here, choosing suitable locations to build stores, and starting their expansion in Australia.
At present, Tianyu Bank only has a few branches in Canberra, Sydney, and Melbourne, and has not expanded on a large scale. Western Australia is their first stop for expansion.
With the support of Raul Lopez this time, it will be very easy for companies like Li Guangyu to enter Western Australia.
As for mobile communications cooperation, this still requires communication between Tang Zaichuan and the Western Australian government departments. Unlike supermarket banks, this involves a relatively large matter, and it is estimated that it will still need to be discussed by parliament.
Xingyuan Group needs to step up the application of various licenses these days. Raul Lopez will explain this and will not embarrass Xingyuan Group.
