London, United Kingdom.

The autumn rain continues to fall from the sky, and the clouds are lingering and fluttering.

Like silk, like silk, like fog, like smoke. Falling on the face and flowing into the mouth, sweet and relishing, like rice wine, like honey, making people drunk, like a dream, like an idiot, like drunk.

Stretch out your hands, the rain falls into your hands as smooth as milk, taste the rain with your mouth, with a hint of sweetness, use your nose to smell the taste of the autumn rain, it seems to have a faint fragrance, and use your eyes to appreciate the autumn rain, the autumn rain is like a fairy jumping joyful dance, from the sky happily falling into the world.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and the drizzle suddenly became hard, and the dense raindrops slapped on the windows, as if they were composing a cheerful and light music.

It is no longer the melancholy autumn rain, but full of hope and enthusiasm. Just like life, there is sadness and joy. The scenery on this road may be bleak, but perhaps at the next turn, you will see a new scenery: light rain and hazy, smoke and clouds, red and sparse paths, green fields, green leaves, Tibetan warblers, red curtains and swallows......

I don't know how long it took, but the wind and rain stopped suddenly.

Sophie Calomé's face is probably watered by the rain and the wind, and she looks delicate and dizzy, bright in color, and her heart is pitiful.

Shen Jiannan couldn't help but think of a seven-character poem.

Spring breeze peach and plum blossom day,

Autumn rain when the leaves of the sycamore fall.

Nishinomiya Minami Nado Autumn Grass,

The fallen leaves are full of red and do not sweep.

In the rain, the grass rots and dies,

Cassia under the stairs is bright in color......

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Being looked at a little uncomfortably by Shen Jiannan's eyes, Sophie Calomme drew a circle on Shen Jiannan's chest and asked with a smile.

"You're a great sister to Catina. ”

"But you seem to be having fun. ”

"I just want to say, fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-girlfriend, this sentence is not false at all. ”

"Shen. Are you Orientals so shameless?"

“......”

In the adult world, there are some things that don't require emotion.

But the game between men and women will more or less change its flavor because of in-depth communication.

Shen Jiannan never thought that something would happen to Sophie Calomé, despite her proud figure and delicate faces.

But if it happened once and it happened twice, it could only be fate.

Fate is such a thing, who can resist it.

After some nonsense and warmth with each other, Shen Jiannan went to the bathroom barefoot to take a hot shower, wrapped in a bath towel and walked to the living room.

A little dry throat.

It's like running 10 kilometers in the summer, and it makes you want to drink water.

Wiping his hair, Shen Jiannan picked up the warm water bottle and poured a glass of warm boiled water into it, and as the warm liquid entered his throat, the lost energy and water were finally quickly replenished.

Bang Bang Bang –

The sound of leather shoes rubbing against the floor was far and near, and in the clear footsteps, Tang Dunhou's voice also came.

"Boss. You're not going to rest anymore?"

"Monkeys. I've noticed that you're talking more and more. ”

"Hey, hey. I'm not worried that the boss ladies will find out that you have lost weight when I go back this time. ”

"Less. What did Brother Zheng say over there. ”

"The captain said that the Chiluba government forces had no money and that they wanted to pay for it with a 30 percent stake in the Khonkola copper mining company. But he's worried that these guys will turn their faces, and he's still thinking about it. The Night Squad is already in Zimbabwe, and if it goes well, we'll be able to send someone there next month. ”

Shen Jiannan pondered, picked up the cigar on the table, took out one and lit it.

Africa is known as the chosen land because it is the most resource-rich and land-rich continent in the world.

As the core of Africa, Zambia has the world's largest copper deposits, accounting for more than 65% of the world's copper resources. Zimbabwe is even more powerful, as the breadbasket of Africa, the fertile land and developed economy here are only one step away from surpassing the ranks of developed countries.

1 USD = 100000000000 Zimbabwean dollar?

When it comes to Zimbabwe, people may immediately think of the shame of human currency.

Banknotes are weighed in tons and discarded outside without anyone stealing.

But in fact, 90 years ago, Zimbabwe was a quasi-developed country in Africa after South Africa, with a per capita income of several thousand dollars.

The value of the Zimbabwe dollar is even more expensive than that of the US dollar. One Zimbabwean dollar can be exchanged for almost 1.2 US dollars.

As for why the Zimbabwean dollar later depreciated into waste paper.

Belch......

The reason is actually absurd, the locals felt that the colonizers had robbed them of their wealth, so they took up guns and slaughtered the whites, robbed the farmers of their wealth, declared independence, and implemented black self-management.

And then...... There is no then.

Anyway, the Zimbabwean dollar is so valuable that you can buy a lot of things, so just print more money to buy things, how stupid it is to work.

That's right, it's that ridiculous.

Zimbabwe has only been independent for ten years, but it has robbed the whites of the wealth accumulated for decades, and is still in the last stages of prosperity. If these guys weren't packaged and sold, then Shen Jiannan wouldn't be Shen Jiannan.

However, thinking of this place in Zambia, Shen Jiannan has a headache.

Copper, the largest non-ferrous metal.

In ancient times, it was even defined as gold.

In modern industry, in terms of industrial practical value, it is still more practical than gold.

The development of any modern science and technology is inseparable from the metal copper.

As early as 20 years ago, China spent countless manpower and material resources, and even sacrificed 69 experts, technicians and workers, to help Zambia build a nearly 2,000-kilometer transportation trunk line that runs through East Africa and Central and South Africa to Tanzania's mouth to the sea.

Unfortunately, the investment does not necessarily pay off, and in less than 20 years, Zambia is now the largest anti-Chinese country in Africa.

Frowning and thinking about it for a long time, Shen Jiannan picked up the phone on the table and dialed it.

"Empty you Jiwa. This is the Akiyama family. Who are you looking for?"

An Hui Michiko's voice came from the earpiece, and although she couldn't see her appearance, Shen Jiannan's complicated heart couldn't help but be quiet.

"Michiko, it's me. ”

As soon as she heard Shen Jiannan's voice, An Hui Michiko's excited phone almost fell to the ground. It's been almost half a month since she returned to Bendu, and this is the first time Shen Jiannan has called her.

"Simi Marseille. Akiyama-kun, I didn't know it was you. ”

"Oh. Michiko, isn't it time for class today? ”

"I was a little uncomfortable, so I took a day off. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's fine, it's just a little uncomfortable. ”

Suddenly, Shen Jiannan became suspicious.

An Hui Michiko doesn't lie, and she looks like she is hesitant, and she knows that she is not telling the truth when she hears it.

"Michiko. Does it really matter? If you get sick, you have to get it checked. I will go back to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, and if it is not convenient for Japan, I will take you to Hong Kong to have a look. ”

"It's almost good. It's really just a little bit uncomfortable. ”

"Really?"

"Actually...... It's just that my stomach is a little uncomfortable. Akiyama-kun, don't always ask, it's embarrassing for the family. ”

“......”

For this reason, Shen Jiannan is also helpless.

A woman's mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, she obviously has everything, and she is still shy about a little thing.

After chatting for a while, Shen Jiannan got down to business, and An Hui Michiko gave the phone to An Hui Koji, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Father, Akiyama-kun has something to tell you. ”

"Akiyama-kun. Good afternoon. ”

"An Huisang, it's morning here. ”

"Ahh Haha, I'm so sorry, I forgot about the jet lag. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

“......”

"Miss Lu believes that in Lucheng, Minnan Province, the geographical location is more suitable for us. I also went to inspect it last week, although Lucheng does not have the advantage of Dongguan to Hong Kong, but it is more convenient to travel to and from Osaka and Tokyo than Dongguan, and it is very suitable for the export of the first department store. However, the site selection of the project of the Dai-ichi Industrial Co., Ltd. is somewhat inconvenient for Sagishima. ”

"The site selection of the Dalian project, I have determined a few locations, but where is the specific location, since you are also going back to Huaxia, I will go with you to investigate again when the time comes. ”

“......”

Listening to An Huihaoer's report on the work in the Italian market and the Huaxia project, Shen Jiannan nodded with satisfaction.

An Hui Haoji is a very measured person, and he never pretends to be an old man, and every time he talks about business, he is very serious and restrained, and he has a completely businesslike attitude. In fact, although First Capital has an absolute controlling stake in First Industry Co., Ltd., according to the previous agreement, there is no need for An Huihao to return these things to Shen Jiannan, and he has the right to operate and manage them.

At this point, I have to say that my life is indeed more reassuring and comfortable than nepotism in China.

Of course, Koji Ahn Hye's ability at work is not to be said, he is a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo, and has many years of business management experience and some connections, although the plate of Daiichi Industrial Co., Ltd. is much larger than before, and he does not show that it is difficult to meet.

One speaks, the other listens.

After a long time, Shen Jiannan laughed twice and said, "An Huisang." You can make your own decisions about these things, you don't need to tell me. The main reason for my call this time is to ask, have you ever heard of Yasuo Hamanaka? ”

"Yasuo Hamanaka, you mean the chief trader of the head of the Sumitomo Nonferrous Metals Trading Department?"

"Ahn Hye-sang knows Yasuo Hamanaka?"

"I met at a drinking party with Kawasaki once, so I'm not too familiar, but Jungishi Okamoto, a trader in our risk control department, used to be a subordinate of Yasuo Hamanaka, and the relationship is not bad, is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing special, if it's convenient, you ask this Okamoto-kun to call me, I want him to help me make an appointment with Yasuo Hamanaka. ”

Seeing that Shen Jiannan was reluctant to do much, An Hui Haoji wisely didn't ask much, and when he hung up the phone, he immediately called Okamoto Junan's phone.

London.

Shen Jiannan wrapped the bath towel and returned to the bedroom, Sophie Calomme fell asleep, but the quilt was kicked away by her, and the bad sleeping posture made Shen Jiannan laugh.

Carefully stepping on the soft cashmere carpet with bare feet, after making sure that he did not wake up the person who was asleep, Shen Jiannan gently stopped the quilt and carefully covered Kalongmei before turning off the light and walking to the fitting room.

It's not about love.

For people like Shen Jiannan, they will never believe in such a thing as love.

He just felt that as a man, sleeping with someone else, and very pleasant, he should do it.

But for Sophie Calomé, who should have fallen asleep, it was a different feeling, and for the first time in this world of deceit, she experienced the care of a man other than her father, the tenderness of being cautious and afraid of startling him, which made her eyes glow in the night.

How many people admire her young and beautiful face, and how many people stare at the thousands of family fortunes accumulated by the Calomme family.

But there has never been a man who is neither obsessed with her delicate looks, proud figure, and rich net worth.

Thinking of this, Calomme showed a weird smile in the night, since he knew Katina when he was a child, they have been competing and entangled with each other, and they can't imagine that even men will continue to fight.

Fate, I really like to play tricks on people!

Shen Jiannan, who was changing his clothes, didn't know that Calomme was pretending to be asleep, he took a set of Armani clothes that he had not long ago and put them on, looked at himself in the mirror, and slowly put on his tie.

World War I and World War II caused the world to be riddled with holes, and the main roads changed and turned over constantly.

Germany's strength has always been ranked at the top of the world, and its technological and industrial level is enough to rank among the top three even in the world. Even though the First World War was a defeated country with a huge amount of war reparations, it only a few decades later, it had the power to sweep across Europe.

Why?

From an industrial point of view, it is because Germany has the most advanced military R&D and production capacity. But if from the perspective of military materials, its core source directly refers to the first non-ferrous metal - copper.

And in World War II, Germany had two younger brothers, one who dared not fight, and the other who dared to fight.

Naturally, it is Italy that no one dares to fight, and everyone who dares to fight is what it is talking about.

The war against the Soviet Union, the war against India, the war against Burma, the war against Singapore, the Philippines, the fight against Malaya, the war against China, and even the war with the United States.

Its madness and arrogance, if you stand from an objective point of view, are simply awesome.

But when it comes to wars, it's about ammunition and weapons, and the reason why Ben has the confidence to start wars with many Asian countries at the same time is because industry has always stood at the top.

If you must trace its development trajectory, you can even trace it back to the Tokugawa shogunate period.

In the 16th century, the Sumitomo family grew from strength to strength by founding and operating a copper mine on the island of Shikoku, becoming Japan's official copper supplier, serving some of Japan's most powerful families at the time, including the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled Japan for more than 200 years from 1603 to 1868.

At the time, the head of the Sumitomo family proudly proclaimed that Sumitomo Corporation was the world's largest copper exporter.

Bullets, copper is needed.

To run the bullet, copper is required.

Core motors, copper is required.

As we all know, the development of the military industry is fundamentally inseparable from copper, and this resource, in the development of modern industry, is the same as cotton is a major strategic material.

From a strategic point of view, copper is simply a strategic material that cannot be replaced.
