Chapter 241: Abandonment of Acquisition
"Contact Felix, we immediately went to Western Australia to check to make sure that their coal mine is true, and informed the maintenance team to prepare to fly to Western Australia, and we went to the Molarben mine. Jiang Lang glanced at the terms that had to be agreed, and suddenly gave the order.
Just returned to the hotel from the airport and waited for less than half an hour, Jiang Lang and others got out of the hotel again, drove directly to the tarmac after arriving at the airport by car, and after boarding the plane and obtaining the approval of the tower, Peng Li took off directly from the runway to Perth, an important city in Western Australia.
Halfway through, Zhou Xiao's phone didn't stop, and someone called in as soon as she hung up, or she was calling her to explain something.
Everyone realized how serious the problem was this time, the depletion of resources meant that all their efforts were in vain, and everyone had a solemn expression on their faces, except that Jiang Lang, who said that he wanted to think about it, hid in the bedroom and couldn't see his anxious appearance at all, and even he had the mind to light a cigarette in the bedroom and listen to the music with his feet crossed.
After getting off the plane, several commercial vehicles drove into the airport, and after picking up everyone, they went all the way to the Molarben Coal Mine, accompanied by the coal mine manager Harvey Elias, Jiang Lang and others focused on checking the pit that was originally being mined normally, which was no longer black coal, and has now completely turned into a rock and soil.
"It's so strange that even if there is a geological catastrophe, how can the original coal suddenly disappear? "Ha Wei is completely confused, because it is an open-pit mine, so you can see at a glance what the situation is.
"It's true that the situation in other Asian countries is completely different, Mr. Jiang, this acquisition should be terminated immediately. Dong Yunhao's experienced strong voice said again, as if Jiang Lang refused to listen, he would go crazy, and the other employees were also not good-looking, Yin Shangjie, Zhang Zhengrong and others all persuaded Jiang Lang that this acquisition failed, and it must not be continued, and it was better to say it while it was discovered, and if it was stopped now, it would be possible to get back the first payment of 1 billion from Felix Resources Company, at most, it would take a little longer, but once it continued, not only would it lose 1 billion, but it would also include all the follow-ups, because the resources had been exhausted, and once all the matters of the transaction of thousands of workers were completed, it would be equivalent to having a bar on their shoulders.
"Lawyer Zhang, contact Felix and ask them to explain that it is impossible for us to buy an empty shell. But so many resources can't disappear for no reason, we have to find out where these resources have gone by incorporating our own wholly-owned company in Perth and applying for exploration rights and land from the local area. Jiang Lang took a deep breath and agreed to the suggestions of several people to terminate this transaction, but the money Jiang Lang brought over did not plan to bring it back, and the loss of the exchange rate alone would be hundreds of millions.
Although Jiang Lang doesn't care, but the play that should be done still has to be done in a full set, he came to Australia for resources, and if he doesn't have it, he still has to find a way to get it out again, otherwise it will lead to the international iron ore rising all the way to the boundless level, and the domestic steel industry can't support such huge losses, they are still waiting for the iron ore to go to the pot, and it is too late for Marcy to increase the supply urgently.
"Mr. Harvey Elis, the Moraben mine does not match the information you have previously provided, and we have had to terminate this acquisition. I'm sorry and please express our apologies to Mr. Felix Sr. After Zhou Xiao finished speaking fluent English, he directly asked everyone to get in the car and leave, there was no need to stay here any longer.
Back in Perth, Dong Yunhao immediately negotiated with the local mining association, but Zhang Zhengrong and Yin Shangjie were still persuading Jiang Lang, hoping that he could change his mind and not continue to waste money in Australia, although the money is Jiang Lang's own, but if Jiang Lang can't think of exploring here for a while, once bankrupt, there are tens of thousands of workers in China, and everyone is still waiting for Jiang Lang to eat, and even the people in Zhou Xing do not agree that Jiang Lang continues to invest in Australia.
But Jiang Lang didn't listen: "Everyone, I understand your concerns, but we have to understand that this is a mineral, no one can steal it, let alone such a huge amount, there is no reason why the originally good minerals are suddenly gone?
"But Mr. Jiang, you have to understand that once you really decide to invest more, there is a possibility that your funds will not be recovered at all. Zhou Xiao cautiously reminded Jiang Langdao.
"I understand, but Australia is China's main supplier of iron ore, and if all the coal and iron ore here disappear, what will happen to the domestic steel mills? Once they stop production because of the lack of iron ore, it will make the coal of many coal companies in China, including ours, unable to sell, and will be piled up in our coal yard in large quantities, and our output will be placed there to say, the iron and steel companies can still sell to power plants if they don't want us, but once malicious competition appears, those small and medium-sized coal mines can only be forced to close, which will be a problem for millions of families in China. Now that we are all in Australia, and just in time for this energy depletion, we can terminate the acquisition of Felix Resources, but I still want to find more ore for the country, which can ensure that all the steel companies in the country have enough ore.
Although we mainly produce energy, we must not only focus on energy, but also look at all related industries in the country if we have the ability, and try our best to protect our country's economic recession and the lives of millions of families. ”
Jiang Lang said a little emotional, but it moved Zhou Xiao, Yin Shangjie, Zhang Zhengrong and others, especially when they thought that the situation that Jiang Lang said really appeared, it would inevitably lead to large-scale turmoil in the country.
Although the Chinese government announced that it will sell hundreds of millions of tons of crude oil to the international market in 2011, after all, the first half of the export is still less, mainly concentrated in the second half of the year, after all, we have to wait for the Zhanjiang mine to be put into production.
The depletion of iron ore will inevitably push the iron ore in the international market to an unacceptable price level, which will be paid by all the people in the country, and the successive reactions will lead to inflation and soaring prices in all walks of life, and the national order will even face challenges.
The mobile phone rang, Zhou Xiao answered a call, almost everyone came to Australia and bought a local phone card, now everyone has two mobile phones, it is the Sydney branch called, in the face of Australia's sudden arrival of resources and scarcity, the country also attaches great importance to it, tomorrow there is a gathering organized by the CEOs of enterprises from China to discuss how to face this situation.
There are many domestic enterprises in Australia, many of which are mainly iron ore invested and acquired by various groups in Australia, but there are also some other mining enterprises.
Jiang Lang agreed to participate in the meeting, but he still stubbornly left the personnel, let Zhang Zhengrong and others stay in Perth, register Qidong Energy Australia Branch, and let Gao Xiaoya also stay in charge of various procedures, her English is not bad, enough to deal with the registration matters, and the most important thing is that in the face of the current energy depletion, apply to the Western Australian government for exploration and mining rights.
That night, Jiang Lang and Zhou Xiao, Li Meili and two Sydney branch of the Chinese flew to Sydney together, the next day with the domestic groups stationed in Australia to have a conversation, although everyone is very sorry for the huge loss, but there is no better way, when Jiang Lang proposed to continue to invest in Australia for exploration, many people scoffed at this, most of them are state-owned enterprise personnel, not they want to invest, Jiang Lang can say this, but they dare not take the country's money to squander.
This kind of behavior with a high probability of losing all their money is obviously not in line with their way of doing business, knowing that the resources are exhausted, and they continue to invest in it, and they will not be able to explain to their superiors at that time, let alone the people of the whole country.
2 days later, in Melbourne, the Australian government had no choice but to announce that Australia had entered the footsteps of Asia and entered the era of exhaustion, and all coal, iron ore, copper ore, oil, and aluminum ore were depleted and suspended, although this was not what Australia wanted, but this is a fact, and at the same time Felix's acquisition was terminated, and the old Felix returned one billion Australian dollars very happily, which Jiang Lang did not expect at all, and he thought that he would not know how long it would take to return the money.
As a whole of Australia, because of the depletion of iron ore, coal and other resources, resulting in a downward decline in the economy, this year's GDP status is no longer worth expecting, and the Australian government has adjusted various economic indicators by itself, striving to control the decline within 2%. But this is only an ideal scenario, and with the death of the largest minerals, which will lead to the closure of many major mining companies and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs, Australia will be a chaotic situation.
On January 17, the registration of Qidong Energy Australia Branch was officially completed, and the local government completed all the procedures with surprising efficiency, and at the same time approved Yin Shangjie's application for exploration on the western coastline of Australia on the same day.
The news of the failure of Qidong Energy's acquisition of Felix Resources has also returned to China with the news of Australia's depletion of resources. There is a lot of excitement in the international arena and not to mention, there are also countless mining companies in China that are laughing at Qidong Energy's inadequacy, although we do not have your equipment, damn Delmar International does not give any chance to negotiate at all, no matter how many people refuse to do so, they don't bother to pay attention to you after two or three times, as if Delmar does not fancy money at all, they would rather pay twice the price to buy can't buy, the world only Qidong Energy is a company that is using their equipment, if you don't know the development history of Jiang Lang, you still think that Jiang Lang is the illegitimate son of the boss of Delmar Group。
