Chapter 1193: The Celebration Banquet Becomes a Merchants Banquet
The tripartite ambitions of the Lee Foundation, the Japan Foundation and the Korean Foundation do not affect their joy and blessings for the operation of the Dongfang Port and the Dongla Railway.
Several parties are very in demand for iron ore, especially the Japanese consortium and the South Korean consortium, their own domestic resources are relatively lacking, the opening of the Oriental Port and the Dongla Railway can be said to have solved their dilemma for so many years, and now they have enough capital to negotiate the price with several major iron ore groups, which can reduce the cost of their raw material purchase.
In the subsequent ribbon-cutting, the ribbon-cutting was carried out by the top minister of Western Australia, Xu Yuntao, Zheng Yutong, Gu Zhenfu, Iwasaki Toshiei, Yasuda Yoshimura, Zheng Zhouyong, and Li Kunxi, and Li Guangyu did not participate, after all, Xu Yuntao already represented the Li consortium.
After watching a freight train slowly leave the Oriental Port Railway Station, Li Guangyu and his entourage went to the Jiuhua Hotel in the city to attend the celebration reception of the Singapore-Malaysia Iron Ore Development Company.
At the reception, Western Australia's Supreme Governor Fisher Krent said to Li Guangyu: "We are rich in mineral resources in Western Australia, and we welcome several people to continue to increase investment in our Western Australia, and we also welcome other companies to come to our Western Australia for development." ”
This is a rare opportunity to bring together the main capital leaders of Japan, South Korea, Baodao, and Xiangjiang, and Krent naturally does not want to miss this opportunity to attract investment, and the better the economic development of Western Australia, the more beneficial it will be to his future career.
Western Australia and Melbourne, Sydney, these can not be compared, the only thing that makes Western Australia famous is the iron ore in the Pilbara, except for the mining of minerals, Western Australia has no industry at all.
Even the automobile industry is mainly based in Melbourne, and many mining companies have their headquarters in Melbourne instead of Western Australia, until the Lee consortium comes over.
The headquarters of Xingyuan Group in Australia is located in Perth, the registered place and headquarters of Western Australian Steel Group are in Perth, the headquarters of Singapore-Malaysia Iron Ore Development Company is also in Perth, and the Australian headquarters of Wheelock Line is in Oriental Port.
But these are not enough, Krent also hopes that more global companies will be headquartered in Western Australia, and more companies will come to invest in Western Australia.
In the past few years, the Lee consortium has developed very well in Western Australia, and the Western Australian government is also very supportive of his industry, and Li Guangyu is also willing to strengthen cooperation with Western Australia.
You must know that Western Australia is an autonomous state, and in addition to the fact that its defense diplomacy is consistent with Australia's, it has a great deal of autonomy, and it doesn't need to pay attention to Australia's policies at all.
Australia has a prime minister, and Western Australia also has its own prime minister, and Fisher Krent is the current prime minister of the Western Australian government.
Li Guangyu said loudly: "Mr. Krent, I am personally very optimistic about the future development of Western Australia, my industry will continue to increase investment in Western Australia, Oriental Port will be an important production base of Bentley Group, Western Australia Steel Group, Perth Airport will also be one of the important airports of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, we are willing to develop together with Western Australia." ”
Not far behind, Iwasaki wants to bring their Mitsubishi Motors into the Australian market and not let the Bentley Group monopolize it.
He said loudly: "Mr. Krent, we at Mitsubishi Motors Group are willing to deploy the Oriental Port to produce Mitsubishi cars, contribute to the economy of Western Australia, and at the same time enhance our friendship and promote our common development." ”
Zheng Zhouyong, the helmsman of Hyundai Group, is not far behind, since both parties have put the car company in the Oriental Port, he simply came, he also established the Hyundai Motor Production Base in the Oriental Port, and also aimed at the Australian and Indonesian markets.
Krent can not be a few sides of the competition, there is a huge automobile group settled in the Oriental Port, the future development of the Oriental Port is unlimited, will become an industrial city in Western Australia, and in the field of automobiles, it has the strength to surpass Melbourne.
The only thing that makes Krent more helpless is that the population of Western Australia is still too small, compared with the former capital Melbourne, whether it is the current Perth, or the emerging Oriental Port City, there is a huge gap, if you want to compete with Melbourne, Sydney and other cities, these cities in Western Australia do not have this strength.
Even if he wanted to move the capital of Western Australia to Oriental Port now, it was unlikely, which made his plan to fully support the growth of a city unable to carry out.
Due to the needs of the industry, these Oriental capitals are obviously more willing to invest in the Oriental Port Market than choose to invest in Perth.
At present, as the capital of Western Australia, Perth naturally wants to help it develop, and it is impossible to reduce investment in Perth, which makes it impossible to appear a city on a par with Melbourne and Sydney in Western Australia.
"Thank you very much for your trust in Western Australia, and we at the Western Australian Government will do everything we can to help you build and develop in the city of Port Orient, where we are planning to build an airport and a rail link to Port Oriental to connect it to the main line of the Western Australian Railway," Krent said.
At the same time, we will strengthen the infrastructure construction in the Oriental Port, especially the construction of public facilities such as hospitals and schools, so that the Oriental Port City can not only become a place to work, but also the life and study of their families can be satisfied. ”
It's a pity that Oriental Port City is not the capital of Western Australia, otherwise Li Guangyu really has the idea of investing in this airport and making it the base airport of Heung Kong Airlines in Australia.
It's a pity that due to the existence of Perth and the population factor of Western Australia, it is difficult for Oriental Port to develop into a large city with a population of one million, and the demand is limited, and Oriental Port City is not suitable for the base airport of Xiangjiang Airlines.
Let's take a look here for the time being, if the Japanese consortium and the Korean consortium are willing to arrange more industries in the Oriental Port, the Oriental Port City will still be able to rise, and Li Guangyu himself is not willing to develop the Oriental Port City by himself, which will not be of much benefit to him.
"Mr. Krent, we are very optimistic about the future of the development of the Oriental Port, and my shipyard is willing to establish a ship repair yard in the Oriental Port to serve the ships of the Oriental Port, and when the time comes, it can be directly turned into a shipyard. ”
After the port of Vostochny is put into operation, there will inevitably be a large number of cargo ships here, and it is still good to establish a ship repair yard.
This luncheon has completely become the investment promotion of Western Australia, and this time they have gained quite well, with Bentley, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai three major car companies establishing production bases in Dongfang Port City.
At the same time, the shipyard owned by the Sumitomo family has come to establish a ship repair yard, so that the economic development of the Oriental Port City can be more rapid, and more people can come to the Oriental Port City to work and live.
In particular, because the main capital of Oriental Port City is East Asia, Oriental Port City has also become a major East Asian living city in Australia, and the future development of Oriental Port City is completely beyond Li Guangyu's current expectations.
The banquet lasted until 3 p.m., when Sumitomo Kiying and others returned to Perth with Krent, and Li Guangyu did not go with them because he was going to inspect the production base of Western Australian Steel Group here.
