In Melbourne, Rio Tinto's headquarters, group vice president Jermaine Pastent is in his office to reprimand the head of the Pilbara region.

The discovery of such a large vein in the southwestern Pilbara region poses a serious challenge to Rio Tinto's position.

The Pilbara region has always been regarded as the territory of its own group and BHP Billiton, and this time Xingyuan Group suddenly intervened, and also discovered such a large vein, it is likely to form a three-legged situation in the future, and their interests in the Pilbara will be reduced a lot.

What made him most unhappy was that such a large vein was actually found by the Xingyuan Group that had just entered Western Australia, but his group had taken root here for nearly twenty years, and such huge interests slipped away from his eyes, and he was very unwilling in his heart.

After Jermaine Pasente finished speaking, the person in charge explained to him: "We can't be blamed entirely for this, our focus is really on the eastern Pilbara region, this time the Star Source Group is in the southwest, and we didn't know that there would be such a large vein there." ”

This time he felt particularly wronged, the development in the eastern part of the Pilbara was a development plan formulated by the group headquarters, this time the Xingyuan Group was an iron ore discovered in the southwest, these areas were not within the scope of his own exploration at all, how could he know that there would be such a huge vein over there.

Now that the Xingyuan Group has discovered this vein, the senior management of the group blames themselves, the headquarters does not go through various exploration procedures, and they are not qualified to explore, besides, they can't just go around the entire Pilbara region if they have nothing to do.

Jermaine Pasente calmed down after a burst of anger, he also knew that the main responsibility for this matter was still the headquarters of the group, who knew that there would be such a large iron mine buried in the southwest of the Pilbara, if he had known earlier, Rio Tinto would have occupied the territory there, where would there be an opportunity for the Xingyuan Group.

However, he still has a way to restrict the Xingyuan Group, whether it is rail transportation or ports in the Pilbara region, they are built by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and they can make a fuss from this aspect.

Jermaine Parsente said, "Return to the Pilbara region first, and remember that our group's ports and railways are absolutely not available to the Starsource Group. ”

The person in charge knew that Jermaine Pason's intentions were nothing more than to force the Xingyuan Group to give up the interests of the Marandu vein in this form.

It's just that he doesn't think that his group can succeed, Xingyuan Group has the support of the Li consortium behind it, and they are far behind Rio Tinto and the Li consortium, and the Li consortium has the strength to build new railways and ports on its own, and is not afraid of their persecution at all.

He said: "Just our group will not do anything if it does this, but will push this huge business to BHP Billiton, and the Li consortium behind Xingyuan Group is very strong, I am afraid that we will lose more than we lose." ”

Jermaine Pasente thought carefully for a while and said: "If Xingyuan Group asks you to use our railways and ports, you will say that you can't call the shots, let their senior management come to me directly, as for BHP Billiton, I will contact their CEO, this time we must stifle the rise of Xingyuan Group, in Australia, it is enough to have us and BHP Billiton." We don't need a top group to share the benefits with us. ”

The person in charge heard Jermaine Parsente say this, and immediately nodded yes, this matter is really not up to him, he just needs to manage Rio Tinto's affairs in the Pilbara area, as for the problem of Xingyuan Group, let the group's senior management deal with it.

This major discovery of Xingyuan Group in Western Australia has completely changed the current situation of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and Xingyuan Group is not a young tiger, there is a Li consortium that is far stronger than their two major groups, and it will be very difficult for them to target Xingyuan Group.

Immediately after the person in charge left, Jermaine Pasent picked up the phone on his desk and called BHP CEO Cowell Franger.

At this time, in the office of the president of BHP Billiton, Cowell Francier was also reprimanding the head of his group in the Pilbara region.

When the phone rang, he stopped his reprimand, picked up the receiver and said, "Hello, I'm Cowell Franger." ”

"Franger, I'm Parson from Rio Tinto, do you have time? ”

Cowell Francier knew that Rio Tinto couldn't sit still, and Jermaine Parson invited him to have afternoon tea, which must have been to discuss how to limit the development of Xingyuan Group.

He said, "Paxant, no problem, you name a location, I'll be there later." ”

After hanging up the phone, Colwell Francier said, "You now go back and keep the group running in the Pilbara, and keep an eye on the Starsource Group, especially their exploration team." ”

Now the Xingyuan Group is a huge threat to their BHP Billiton, and now the Xingyuan Group still has a large area in its hands that has not been explored, once the giant vein is discovered, their BHP Billiton's position is likely to be overturned by the Xingyuan Group.

In a café in Melbourne, Jermaine Parsent and Cowell Franger sat opposite each other, two rivals who had been fighting for decades sat together because of the Star Source Group, which is a good interpretation of the fact that there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

"Franger, you must already know about the Marandou iron ore mine discovered by the Star Source Group in the southwest of the Pilbara, this iron ore is initially estimated to exceed one billion tons, which poses a serious threat to the position of our two companies in Western Australia, and we need to work together to deal with it this time. ”

Cowell Franger said: "Parsont, do you have any good suggestions, this time our opponent is not only the Xingyuan Group, the Li consortium behind him is our great enemy, if we want to restrict the Li consortium from occupying a leading position in the iron mine, just some small actions will not play a big role." ”

They have a good understanding of the strength of the Li consortium, which is a comprehensive consortium spanning finance, hotels, supermarkets and retail, entertainment and media, real estate, automotive electronics and other industries, and there are many allies behind the support, and their monopoly of railway and port transportation is not a problem for the Li consortium at all.

And this is also a weapon for their two groups to occupy the Western Australian market, this weapon has no effect on the Li consortium, and they really don't have much way to restrict the development of Xingyuan Group.

"Franger, we have checked them in the transport card in advance, and the most important thing is to contact the MPs in Western Australia to find some trouble for the Xingyuan Group to make their Marandu mine unable to mine normally, and if we join forces in this regard, I believe that there are not many MPs in Western Australia who will support the Xingyuan Group. ”

The two groups have been operating in Western Australia for many years, and once the two of them join forces, they will have the right to speak in the parliament, and there is no problem with the introduction of some targeted policies by Xingyuan Group.

"Parsont, I hope you don't make a false shot, you must know that this time Xingyuan Group is different from the previous mining companies, if we can't cooperate sincerely, I'm afraid that the two of us will be trampled under the Li consortium at that time. ”
