At the beginning of the night, Chu Huan's car drove slowly to the manor at No. 12 Mount Galley Road. After getting off the car, he learned from the servant that Cao Yunshang was holding a sika deer like Chu Shifeng in the manor.
In order to prevent the manor from looking monotonous, Chu Huan deliberately raised some pets here. He originally wanted to raise a bear, but it was too troublesome to let it out and boring to keep it, so he gave up.
When I came to the garden, I saw Cao Yunshang, protected by bodyguards, holding Chu Shifeng, the little boy.
Seeing Chu Huan come back, Xiaodou Ding Chu Shifeng was babbling and waving his arms at Chu Huan.
Chu Huan took Chu Shifeng over from Cao Yunshang's hands, while Cao Yunshang took over a list from Wu Shuhan's hands.
While Chu Huan was teasing Chu Shifeng, Cao Yunshang also read the list in his hand, then showed a smile and preached.
"It seems that, as we predicted before, Huo Tsar Huang and others chose Australia, which is more risky, while Guo Desheng and others chose Canada, which is lower risk!"
Chu Huan teased Chu Shifeng and said with a smile: "It is understandable that Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong, Li Jiacheng and others have their own connections in Canada, especially Li Jiacheng has always been in contact with the Royal Bank of Canada, and they
Although they are now more famous than Tsar Huo, Mr. He and others, their background is still a bit inferior, so it is foreseeable that they choose to join a Canadian investment company!"
Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "How are the preparations for the two investment companies going?"
"We have already prepared it. Now we are waiting to see when they will have the funds in hand ready!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
Chu Huan had already prepared for the establishment of a super consortium. In order to invest in Canada and Australia, last year, Chu Huan had asked Kelly to re-register two investments in the tax haven Bermuda.
The company serves as the parent company behind companies in Canada and Australia respectively.
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "Once these two projects are launched, they will be huge investments. How much money do you estimate they can come up with?"
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and said: "With their personal funds plus the loans from Alde Commercial Bank, I estimate that each of these two companies can raise 500 million US dollars."
"Every company?" Cao Yunshang was a little surprised.
Chu Huan smiled and explained: "These two international companies, each of them can raise a total of 500 million US dollars!"
"Let me tell you, if each of them collects 500 million U.S. dollars, they are really playing with fire!" Cao Yunshang suddenly realized.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Although Alder Commercial Bank endorses them, these people also understand that it will be at least two to three years before these two companies can make real profits, so they will definitely do their best.
It’s okay, otherwise the interest would be enough for them to bear!”
Cao Yunshang nodded, and then said: "Then when are you going to visit these two countries?"
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and said: "Just wait a little longer. Ma Jizu's people are working there now, and everything is going smoothly. After these people finish raising the funds, we can go there!"
"This time you have entered the business scope of Mitsui & Co., and I think Mitsui Takacho will definitely contact you by then!"
Cao Yunshang reminded Chu Huandao.
Mitsui & Co.’s current investment in the mining industry is mostly concentrated in Australia, and it has cooperated with many Australian companies. Now Chu Huan has suddenly entered the Australian mining industry, which has actually started a head-on competition with Mitsui & Co.
Chu Huan nodded slightly. When Chu Huan discussed with Huo Tsar Huang and others on the yacht before entering Australia, they mentioned the local government and the obstruction of local companies, but did not mention Mitsui & Co.
But it is undeniable that as soon as their company is established, its most direct opponent will still be Mitsui & Co.
In addition, Chu Huan still has 5% of the shares in Mitsui & Co., so the two parties are now really both partners and competitors!
"If Mitsui & Co., Ltd. can do the world's mining business, we can certainly do it. However, the best way at this time is to cooperate with the other party instead of erupting into more intense competition. Let's wait until Mitsui Gaonaga calls to discuss everything!"
Although the mining company founded by Chu Huan now has sufficient funds, it has just entered this industry after all, so it must have many shortcomings when facing the giant Mitsui & Co., but fortunately Chu Huan is here
When determining this development route, we have been in contact with local governments in Australia and Brazil, which means that both parties now have their own advantages.
Cao Yunshang nodded, and then continued: "Now the mining matter can be regarded as the first step, but we still have to have a longer-term plan. If we have a large steel company in our hands, then for our future
The development will bring many benefits!”
Mines belong to the upstream industry, and steel plants belong to the midstream industry. As Cao Yunshang said, if Chu Huan can have a large-scale MTR company in his hands, then he can truly compete with Mitsui & Co.!
Cao Yunshang continued his analysis: "Unfortunately, Xiangjiang is too small and is not suitable for developing a large-scale steel plant. If it can be done, then all problems will be solved!"
Not only is Xiangjiang unsuitable, but there is actually no suitable place in Southeast Asia, but Chu Huan is not without solutions.
Seeing that Little Bean Chu Shifeng was tired from playing and started to take a nap in his arms, Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, and Wu Shuhan walked back to the main building of the manor. Chu Huan also handed over Little Bean Chu Shifeng in his arms to his family.
The nanny and the three of them came to the study room.
"In fact, we do not lack suitable places to build steel plants. What we really lack are the equipment and technical personnel needed to build steel plants!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan sat on the sofa and preached with a headache.
Both my hometown and Australia are actually suitable for building large-scale steel plants. Although there will be some problems, in Chu Huan's opinion, they can all be solved.
Especially for my hometown, they are still negotiating with Japan on the BG issue. If Chu Huan participates now, there will definitely be more negotiable conditions, but again, Chu Huan currently lacks
It is world-class equipment and talents in this field.
Cao Yunshang was the first to figure out what Chu Huan meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a few thoughts on this matter. Please listen."
Chu Huan became interested and asked Cao Yunshang, "Tell me about it!"
Cao Yunshang said: "According to the information sent by Shu Han, my hometown is still negotiating with the Japanese side on BG, and the most critical point is actually that my hometown lacks enough funds to operate this matter."
Last year, my hometown had already begun discussions with Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation on the new construction of BG. After long-term negotiations, the two parties finalized that the total investment in the new BG was 30.1 billion Chinese dollars. However, at that time, the entire country in my hometown
The annual fiscal revenue is only 80 billion Chinese dollars, and this investment is calculated in US dollars. The total contract price with Nippon Steel is equivalent to US$2 billion, and the country's available foreign exchange reserves are only US$2 billion.
This also resulted in the hometown having no way to pay for the imported technology and equipment with cash. Finally, after repeated negotiations, it was finally decided to change the payment terms from cash currency to house sale credit, with installment payments, and 80% of the total contract price to be paid five years after delivery.
Payment is made in 10 installments, with annual interest of 7.25%.
But even so, my hometown still had a lot of considerations about BG's project. Later, because the construction stalls in my hometown were too large, the project was likely to be interrupted many times.
But in the final analysis, my hometown is short of money at this time!
"If Brother Huan contacts your hometown and expresses your willingness to contribute the money and formulate a new equity distribution plan, then Brother Huan will be able to occupy a very important position in the tripartite cooperation agreement.
, In addition, when the construction of BG is completed, we can use BG's relationship to build a new steel plant, and then there should be no big problem."
Cao Yunshang put forward his own suggestions.
After hearing this, Chu Huan also showed joy. This is indeed a very good idea. According to his relationship, his hometown should trust him and stand on their side in important decisions. In addition, he is a Mitsui & Co.
directors, judging from the mutual shareholding situation between Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Nippon Steel, it is also an acceptable condition for them for the other party to join them and increase the construction speed of BG.
Of course, this is just thinking about the good side. On the bad side, Chu Huan is not sure whether his hometown will agree with his suggestion. Furthermore, Nippon Steel may not necessarily accept his appearance.
Most likely it will be rejected.
So the three parties need to play a good game!
Cao Yunshang continued his analysis: "In addition, we don't necessarily have to set our sights on our hometown. We can also build our own steel plant in Australia. As for equipment and technical talents, I think we can seek help from Armand Hammer. This
He is very influential in North America. Although he is engaged in oil, I believe he must also have his own connections in steel.
And Australia is a place where we can avoid political suppression to the greatest extent!"
There is no doubt that Chu Huan's global influence is sufficient at this time, but this is only enough for a serious businessman, but when it comes to such a global industrial layout, there should be political suppression.
Yes, if you want to avoid such political suppression, Chu Huan's Jiaku still needs to continue to develop. According to Chu Huan's current development speed, it will take at least ten years!
Only then can we truly have enough voice in the world's top circles!
Wu Shuhan said at this time: "If the investment in our hometown and Australia is implemented at the same time, then we will continue to invest at least 4 billion US dollars in assets into this industry. If we add the previous investment in the mine and the loan
According to Tsar Huo’s calculations, this investment has already reached US$8 billion!”
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "It's not difficult to get 8 billion US dollars. What's difficult is how to accomplish it!"
It is no exaggeration to say that the cash reserves in Chu Huan's hands at this time are enough to shock everyone's jaws. Japan alone has provided Chu Huan with more than 8 billion US dollars in income in the past two years.
That's why Chu Huan decided to officially enter the mining industry this year. This industry is not only a big money magnet, but also an industry with huge initial investment.
It was precisely because Chu Huan already had enough cash in his hands that he started this step.
"These two methods are very good and can be done at the same time!" Chu Huan finally agreed with Cao Yunshang's suggestion, and then started to make calls, one to his hometown and the other to Armand Hammer.
After the two parties heard Chu Huan's suggestion, they immediately said that they would send special personnel to negotiate in the next two days.
The people back home were still very interested in Chu Huan's suggestion. After learning about Chu Huan's idea, they quickly sent a special person to Xiangjiang, and Chu Huan did not want this matter to be spread by the outside world before it was successful.
of uproar.
So he arranged for Wu Shuhan to pick him up in person. The other party had rules about what kind of hotel he would stay in after arriving in Xiangjiang, so after Wu Shuhan arranged for them, he called Chu Huan.
Chu Huan asked Han Yang to drive directly to the hotel where they lived. Wu Shuhan was already waiting for Chu Huan in the hotel lobby.
"What makes you so happy?" Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan asked curiously with a smile on their faces.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Shuhan said with a smile: "Boss, who do you think is coming to Xiangjiang this time?"
"So, I know each other?" Chu Huan asked with a smile.
Wu Shuhan nodded.
Seeing this, Chu Huan muttered: "I know people who can be involved at this level. If you add the smile on your face, I think it's Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao, right?"
Wu Shuhan's expression changed and he said boringly: "Boss, can't you lower your IQ a little bit?"
Chu Huan laughed when he saw this and said: "Okay, next time I will try to satisfy your heart."
The two walked into the elevator with a smile. After coming out of the elevator, Chu Huan saw Yu Hailiang's father, Mr. Yu, and Professor Chen Siyao from their same compound.
When Chu Huan returned to his hometown, Mr. Yu specially set up a banquet in their courtyard to entertain Chu Huan. Unexpectedly, the two parties would meet again in Xiangjiang.
But if you think about it, you can understand that as the old gentleman comes back, Mr. Yu, as a member of his think tank, will naturally come back, and Professor Chen Siyao is a rare economic master in his hometown, so he will definitely do the same.
Very dependent.
Chu Huan's suggestion is still at the initial stage. It is not suitable for official figures to come forward directly. After all, if they come forward, many demands will already mean that they are destined to die, and there will be fewer conditions for both parties to mediate.
, now that the two of them are here, the problem is different.
"Mr. Yu, Professor Chen, long time no see. How are you? Are you still used to the environment in Xiangjiang?"
Chu Huan smiled and shook hands with the two of them.
The two of them also said with smiles on their faces: "Hello, Mr. Chu, to be honest, we came to the hotel as soon as we arrived in Xiangjiang, and we haven't had a good tour of Xiangjiang yet!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "If you two have any ideas, after we finish talking about things, I can arrange for someone to take you around Xiangjiang!"
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao also wanted to see the situation in Xiangjiang, so that they could better compare with their hometown, so after hearing what Chu Huan said, they didn't have any opinions. Of course, this is
Chu Huan, if it were other businessmen in Xiangjiang, they would definitely not agree to this matter. Mr. Huo should be able to let them do this.
As the two of them arrived at their room, they didn't live in a luxurious suite, just a standard room for two.
During this period, Chu Huan admired these people in his hometown very much.
Chu Huan believed that he could not be as ambitious as them!
Therefore, Chu Huan also respects such people very much.
"Mr. Yu, I heard that Hailiang is now in the Department of Economics at Beijing University. It seems that he will inherit your mantle in the future!"
After Chu Huan sat down, he chatted casually with Mr. Yu.
When Yu Hailiang was mentioned, Mr. Yu was still very pleased and said with a smile: "If it weren't for your help, Mr. Chu, it's unclear whether that bastard could have passed the exam. I told me before I came that he
He and his classmates are very excited to receive your reply, Director Chu!"
Chen Siyao also sighed: "Dr. Chu is so busy at work and still has time to write to them. It's really admirable!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's just something I did casually. If I can get everyone to study seriously, then my hard work will be considered in vain!"
After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, the topic finally turned to the issue of their visit to Xiangjiang this time.
"Director Chu mentioned on the phone that he is willing to provide the costs for BG construction. I wonder what kind of charter Director Chu has and how much money he is prepared to invest?"
Chen Siyao asked Chu Huan seriously.
This is the main purpose of their coming to Xiangjiang this time. They want to know first how much Chu Huan is prepared to invest in this matter and how much he is prepared to get. Then they will come up with a plan of their own, and the two parties will negotiate. In the end, the two will
Chu Huan's suggestions and the results of their consultations were brought back to his hometown, and it was ultimately up to his hometown to decide whether to accept Chu Huan's participation!
Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "It depends on how much our hometown needs. Let's put it this way, even if we come up with all the funds this time, there will be no problem. What we need is to re-divide the equity of our three parties.
Distribution, I hope our company can account for 30% of the equity!"
When Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao heard Chu Huan's answer, they both showed surprised expressions.
Now that their status is different, the two of them are naturally exposed to more information, and they both understand Chu Huan's status in Xiangjiang.
But when they heard what Chu Huan said, they were still surprised, because according to their information, there should be no one in the whole of Xiangjiang who could pay so much cash, let alone the whole of Xiangjiang, that is, all over the world.
, there shouldn’t be many individuals who can take out so much cash at once, right?
"Director Chu, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just this investment. Do you know how much money we have in the contract we signed with Nippon Steel?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I have already inquired, it is 2 billion US dollars!"
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao looked at each other again. Xiangjiang and their hometown are not even separated by an ocean, but is the gap between the two sides so big?
The entire foreign capital reserve in his hometown is only 2 billion US dollars, and now Chu Huan can pay for it alone.
"I always heard that Chairman Chu is the number one person in Xiangjiang. Now we know how well-deserved the number one person in Xiangjiang is!"
Chen Siyao preached with some sighs.
Chu Huan just smiled at this.
Mr. Yu said: "I'm afraid we can't agree to the 30% shareholding you mentioned, Director Chu. Since Director Chu already knows the amount of the contract signed between us and Nippon Steel, he should also know that we both have
With the allocated equity ratio, if Director Chu alone wants to take away 30% of the shares, there is no way for us and Nippon Steel to explain this matter."
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, I think we still overestimate Nippon Steel. I traveled to various parts of the world last year and talked with people everywhere. Everyone is very concerned about the development of my hometown.
I am very optimistic about it. In fact, there are already many business people who hope to contact my hometown through my connections."
Mr. Yu smiled and said: "Just like Dr. Hammer did before!"
Chu Huan laughed and said: "That's right. Nowadays, whether in Europe, North America, or Japan, there is actually a problem, that is, their development has reached a bottleneck, and they are in urgent need of a new market to bring them
The funds in their hands are put into operation, and the current situation in their hometown is their best choice.
The BG project is a project that attracts worldwide attention. Nippon Steel needs it. In fact, its steel plants also need it. As long as we can prepare sufficient funds, then the major steel plants in the world will definitely take the initiative to contact us.
, instead of the current situation, we must cooperate with Nippon Steel.
We should put ourselves in a position where they are seeking our market, rather than us waiting for their help.
And if we can get this share here, it will actually be of greater benefit to our hometown!"
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao looked at each other, and finally Chen Siyao asked: "Please tell us in detail, Director Chu!"
Chu Huan said: "First of all, if BG is controlled by my hometown, Nippon Steel, and us, then it can prevent Nippon Steel from earning more shares of BG in the capital market in the future, and then achieve more control over BG.
As long as the three parties of us can maintain a delicate balance of control rights, then BG can operate according to the business policies of our hometown in the future without worrying about anything else.
Secondly, I can assure you here that with the dividends from the future return on this investment in BG, our company can keep these funds in our hometown for other investments, thus virtually increasing our hometown’s foreign exchange reserves.
Finally, you two may not know yet, but our company has teamed up with some consortiums from Xiangjiang to discover iron ore mountains with amazing reserves in Australia. I think you should understand what this means to BG, right?"
Mr. Yu and Chen Siyao felt that they had used up all their surprises in the past year today.
Although it is impossible for the hometown to really let Chu Huan bear all the funds, according to the instructions they accepted when they came here, if they can really reach a consensus on this matter, then Chu Huan will at least bear the responsibility.
1.5 billion U.S. dollars in funding, plus funds needed for subsequent construction.
But now with such a large investment, Chu Huan decided to use all the profits and dividends to stay in his hometown and continue to invest in and build other industries. It is self-evident how much foreign exchange this has earned for his hometown!
What surprised the two even more was that Chu Huan had already been involved in the iron ore business. If this was the case, the iron ore that BG needed for the future would also be available. Since Chu Huan is a shareholder of BG, he would naturally have a higher price.
It can be discussed better!
You must know that the cost price of iron ore is different in different places, and Australia is recognized as the cheapest country in the world.
The mining cost of a ton of iron ore in Australia is only one-fifth of that in Australia. This price difference alone is enough for BG to develop better.
They never expected that Chu Huan would already have his own mine.
"Dr. Chu, I still have to say, you really surprised us!" Mr. Yu couldn't help but say.
Chu Huan smiled easily and said: "You two, I am very sincere in cooperating with my hometown, and the conditions I just mentioned, I believe that no capital in the world can have such conditions as mine! So I am very
I hope you two can carefully consider my suggestions!"
Chen Siyao said seriously: "To be honest, the conditions you proposed at this time, Director Chu, have actually exceeded our expectations before coming here, but you should understand this matter. The two of us have no decision-making power. In addition, my hometown
We still very much hope to ensure our international credit, so we also need to discuss with Nippon Steel Corporation, so we have no way to give any answer to this matter now!"
Chu Huan was not surprised by such an answer. He just smiled and said: "This is what it should be, but I still hope that the final news will be good news!"
Mr. Yu said: "We also hope so!"
The two parties then discussed the details. For example, although they could only come up with 500 million US dollars, they still hoped that Chu Huan could pay for it, but at the same time they also had to pay something themselves.
In this regard, Chu Huan made a suggestion, that is, to allow Jiaku to delineate some land in Shenghai for development. These lands can be regarded as another cooperation between Chu Huan and his hometown, but the funds generated are used by his hometown for development.
BG’s $500 million!
But this is 1979 and not in future generations. It is really hard to calculate how much land one can own in his hometown of Shenghai with 500 million US dollars!
After both parties explained their respective needs in this matter, Chu Huan smiled and talked to them both.
"You two, actually besides this matter, I have one more thing that I want to discuss with you two!"
Now that they are here, Chu Huan has decided to discuss with them all the things that can be done in his hometown for the time being!
Chen Siyao smiled and said: "What a coincidence, actually we also have other things we want to discuss with Director Chu!"
