Chapter 107 Australian Office
After discovering a new type of energy mine, Su Yunfan couldn't be happier.
There is no one who doesn't like treasures, doesn't like to pick up bargains.
"Alright, just do as you say!
He stretched out his hand to the island on the map and said confidently.
Longteng Group has its own overseas business department in Australia, so Su Yunfan directly arranged for someone from the Australian Affairs Department to formally submit bidding documents to the Australian resources department in the name of Longteng Group.
Australia is vast and sparsely populated, agriculture is very developed, and there are rich iron ore resources underground.
So for them, this kind of iron ore mining rights are also a very frequent thing.
However, for the Su family, they have never been engaged in the business of mineral mining, so after receiving this news, Mingyu, the general manager of the Australian Affairs Department, called very surprised to ask.
"Master Yunfan, the island you like has been bidding for steel companies from all over the world since last year. However, due to the very large amount of mineral reserves, with a valuation of more than $3 billion, they are all bids for the participation of large international steel mills. ”
Mingyu said it very tactfully.
What he meant was that Longteng Group had no experience in the steel industry at all, and if it bought the island rashly, it might not be a good deal.
Su Yunfan was also a little surprised when he received the call, he didn't expect Mingyu, a subordinate, to question his decision.
But then he laughed.
This at least shows that he is a person with his own opinions, and he will not blindly follow the orders of his superiors, but will have his own judgment ability.
"It was very important for us to buy this island, and then our group's direction was heavy industry, so it was very important to have our own iron ore. Just do it!"
A large part of the industry on the island is heavy industry.
For example, the production of the mechanical corps requires a large amount of steel.
In the future, there may be some secret research and development of aircraft and warships, which will require massive metal resources.
In short, he will never waste anything when he buys this island.
After Mingyu heard Su Yunfan's explanation, he also understood that Su Yunfan did not make a decision for no reason, but after careful consideration.
Of course, he actually believes in Su Yunfan's ability and determination, but because of his status as the head of the Australian Affairs Department, it is necessary for him to put forward his opinions to the leadership.
As for what Su Yunfan needed to do with that huge amount of iron ore, it was not something that a small regional leader could ask.
He immediately reported to Su Yunfan: "We have made relevant inquiries to the Australian resources department in accordance with the regulations. But the pressure is high for the mine, with companies from at least a dozen countries bidding, according to their officials. ”
Speaking of this, he paused in his voice and continued: "And at the moment, the trade relationship between the two countries is somewhat tense. So if we want to win the bid, it will be very difficult. ”
Australia was originally an important strategic partner of China, and many of their rich agricultural products and mineral deposits were mainly exported to China.
But in recent years, with the gradual tension between the two countries, a lot of trade has also been hit.
Originally, Longteng Group had to purchase a large number of agricultural and sideline products, red wine, seafood and other products from Australia every year, and the tourism projects of Yilan Manor also had close cooperation with Australia.
However, in the past two years, with the tightening of policies, Longteng Group's business in Australia has also gradually decreased.
Take Mingyu as an example, he was originally a very popular international businessman in Australia. Recently, however, the attitude of all parties towards him has become noticeably colder, blaming them for the loss of trade on them, the Chinese merchants.
Of course, Su Yunfan understands the business situation in Australia.
In fact, many of the business operations were cut off by his own order.
After seeing all kinds of unfriendly actions in Australia on the news, he immediately stopped the tens of billions of agricultural and sideline products and wine business.
"It's okay, just don't worry! Since I dare to participate in the bidding, I am sure to take it down. ”
Su Yunfan said with a smile, not taking what Mingyu said to heart at all.
Mingyu sighed, "I'm afraid it will be more difficult than I imagined." We used to be here and all of them would say 'we're best friends'. But now those manor owners and officials see me, and they all regard me as an enemy. ”
Su Yunfan's eyes narrowed slightly, listening to Mingyu's helpless tone.
It seems that the employees of the Australian Longteng Group are really not living so well, and he has not cared much about the business there, so he has not taken care of it.
"Mingyu, what kind of friend do you think they need?"
Su Yunfan asked.
Mingyu thought for a while and replied, "The one who can make them make money is a friend." ”
Su Yunfan was very satisfied, "Smart! Money is their best friend." So no matter what they think about the relationship between the two countries, I will definitely be their best friend. ”
Mingyu covered her head helplessly and smiled: "That's that, because you have money!"
"Hahaha, okay. Go ahead and get ready! I'll go there myself in a while. ”
After hanging up the phone, Mingyu took a deep breath.
"The eldest young master wants to come here in person? It seems that this iron mine is not simple! Or is the group's business going to open up new markets?"
Mingyu touched his chin and speculated.
However, he also knew that his level would never be able to touch things at that level. It's in vain to think about it.
So he called his secretary and asked her to prepare all the required documents as soon as possible according to the regulations of the Australian Ministry of Resources, so that he could submit them.
Those who can come to Australia are the elite of Longteng Group, in addition to having a degree from a world-class university, they must also have a wealth of work experience in order to deal with the special situations that can occur overseas at any time.
Therefore, although Su Yunfan's order was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Australian Affairs Department, they still sorted out all the reporting materials as soon as possible.
Mingyu packed all the materials into his suitcase, then walked out of the office building, and drove his two-year-old Cadillac to the Australian Department of Resources.
The location of the Australian Office is Melbourne, a very famous tourist city in Australia.
Melbourne was still very sunny today, and there were not many vehicles on the road, so Mingyu followed the navigation to the Ministry of Resources building.
Looking up at the high steps, his heart was full of mixed feelings.
"I didn't expect to come to this place!"
It has been almost a decade since I was assigned to Australia, and most of the time I have been dealing with the Department of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture.
He took a deep breath and stepped up the steps.
