 Western Australia still attaches great importance to the arrival of Ouyang Zhenhua and his entourage, and the Minister of Commerce Jeffrey Nash personally came to the airport to greet Chen Kangjie and their arrival.

In a brief conversation with Ouyang Zhenhua at the airport, Jeffrey Nash did not mention anything about the arrival of the Japanese, just some pure greetings, but Chen Kangjie, who was standing in the back, always felt that Jeffrey Nash did it on purpose, and he also stopped talking a little.

Chen Kangjie and the others were then taken by the convoy to a five-star hotel on St. George's Avenue in the city center. Beautiful Perth is divided into two parts by a river of swans. St. George's Avenue on the north bank of the river is home to the city's financial, commercial and government institutions, and is known as the office street. The High Walk to the north of St George's Avenue is Perth's commercial hub.

Chen Kangjie and they came from afar, so they did not carry out any business activities, everyone rested in the hotel, at eight o'clock in the evening, the Premier of Western Australia, Richardcourt (Richardcourt) will hold a small banquet to entertain Ouyang Zhenhua and them, since 1990, Western Australia has been governed by a liberal government, and it is also from this time that Perth and Western Australia have entered a prosperous period.

"Brother Ouyang, have you noticed that the Japanese have arrived early?", after Jeffrey Nash left, Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua chatted in his room.

"I have already seen the Japanese plane at the airport, just now Jeffrey Nash said that he was polite and warm, but he did not say a word about the specific investment matters, and I suspect that Governor Richard Cotter postponed our time by one day, not because of physical discomfort, but out of the need to receive the Japanese side", Ouyang Zhenhua is not stupid, he can think about many things.

"That's what I thought, it seems that this time we won't be too smooth," said Chen Kangjie, standing by the window and looking at the lively street scene outside the window.

"Just now I have sent our people here to inquire about which Japanese are here and what is the purpose of this", Ouyang Zhenhua took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and went to make coffee himself as he spoke.

"Yes, you have to know yourself and your opponent, by the way, what is the direction of investment that you communicated with the Western Australian government before?", Chen Kangjie is about to start to understand the details at this time.

"The Western Australian government intends to take out a large area of land in the southern part of the Pilbara this time to attract investment, mainly exploration and ore mining, covering more than 100,000 square kilometers on both sides of the Ashburton River, and the towns of Parapordo and Mount Vernon are included in this area, according to current information, there may be 4 billion to 5 billion tons of iron ore there, but because it is a mountainous area, exploration and mining are very difficult, and transportation is a big problem, when the time comes, it will be necessary to build a railway from Mount Vernon to Newman, connect Newman to Port Hedland, and finally transport the iron ore to Port Hedland for exportOuyang Zhenhua explained to Chen Kangjie.

"How much do you need to estimate the investment?", Chen Kangjie took the coffee brewed by Ouyang Zhenhua, took a sip, and asked.

"At least $5 billion, if not $6 billion, is needed, and the exact figure is not yet certain."

"If there are four or five billion dollars of iron ore, then the investment of 10 billion US dollars is worth it", Chen Kangjie knows that the price of iron ore in the future has reached more than 100 US dollars a ton, and has maintained that high price for a long time, even if it is only 4 billion tons, according to 100 US dollars, it is worth 40 billion US dollars, which can be regarded as the most worthwhile deal.

"We think it's worthwhile, Japan may think it's worthwhile, and they won't sit idly by, and since the 60s, Japanese companies represented by Mitsui & Co. have been actively involved in investing in the development of Australian iron ore. Today, Mitsui & Co., Itochu, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Metal, and Nippon Steel have extensive investments in the Australian ore sector, and they should not let it go lightly", Ouyang Zhenhua himself deduced the attitude of competitors.

"So in the negotiations, you have to pay attention to the thinking that is to explain to the Western Australian government that all the eggs cannot be in one basket, otherwise, if you are in danger, you may be wiped out. Diversification of investment sources is definitely in the interest of Western Australia, and I think that's a big reason why they came to us," said Chan as he sat down on the sofa in front of the window, pondering.

"Let's hope Western Australia doesn't come to us to put pressure on the Japanese, otherwise, your argument may not be valid."

"Hehe, no matter what, we now have an opportunity, since this opportunity is in front of us, we can't let it go, whether we make trouble for the Japanese or the Japanese make difficulties for us, both sides have to compete", as soon as he thought of competing with little Japan, Chen Kangjie had an inexplicable excitement, anyway, against the Japanese, it would always be

Bring him motivation and passion.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening, the person who inquired about the news replied, it was indeed a Japanese delegation to come, and the team leader said that there was still a little relationship between him and Chen Kangjie, it was Mitsui & Co. Executive Hikaru Ohgi, that is, the father of Haruka Ohki, who had collided with Chen Kangjie in Los Angeles when he was competing for Miramax Company, but he didn't expect that after dealing with his son, he would now have friction with his father again.

"We still know a little bit about Da Mu Guang, he is in his sixties, he is a core figure in the Mitsui chaebol, he has always been low-key, but he has a reputation for wisdom and calmness, it seems that it is difficult to deal with", now Ouyang Zhenhua is no longer so lonely and unheard, at his level, there are more things and scope that need to be paid attention to, and the sources of information are relatively wide.

"I don't know much about this person, since you say so, it seems that he is really a difficult opponent to deal with", Chen Kangjie can despise the enemy strategically, but in terms of tactics, he will still pay attention to it, Chen Kangjie is not an arrogant person.

"According to the news, the purpose of their visit this time is the same as ours, all for this big project, this time the Japanese side is not only involved in Mitsui & Co., Sumitomo Metal also sent people to participate, the combination of the Mitsui Foundation and the Sumitomo Foundation, it seems that they are bound to win," Ouyang Zhenhua further said.

Chen Kangjie was silent, frowning, and didn't say a word. The Mitsui Foundation and the Sumitomo Foundation are the most powerful financial groups in Japan, both in terms of economic strength and human resources are top-notch, and they are very experienced in the operation and operation of mineral products. It is difficult to deal with a single family, and now that the two are united, it is indeed not easy.

"They are good strength, but we are not idle, in terms of strength, we do not lose at all, or we can have a greater advantage, that is, we have abundant cash, in the past two years, Japan due to the economic downturn, many large enterprises have been affected a lot, in this context, we can still have a fight. Moreover, I thought about it carefully, and the reason why the Western Australian government wanted to further develop iron ore at this time and bring us in here has a lot to do with Japan's economic downturn. Australia is rich in mineral resources, but they need very little, almost all of them are used to make money for exports, if in the past, due to the lack of resources in Japan's rapid economic growth, the consumption of mineral products is very large, which can drive the economic development of Western Australia, but recently the Japanese economy has fallen sharply, which leads to a lot of demand for resources, and the development of Western Australia has naturally suffered a lot of impact. Since Richard Cotter is liberal, he may have made some more pragmatic choices, as long as the benefits we offer are more in line with their needs, I think they will seriously consider them," Chen Kangjie helped Ouyang Zhenhua analyze.

There is one thing that Chen Kangjie did not say, which is also crucial, that is, he knows the future price trend of iron ore, and that price will be several times higher than the existing basis, which gives Chen Kangjie great courage and the possibility of winning.

"Hehe, anyway, I know that as long as you are here, no matter how difficult things are, you will always have a way, and you will always give us confidence and hope", Ouyang Zhenhua said with a relaxed smile.

Ouyang Zhenhua's words are flattering Chen Kangjie on the one hand, and on the other hand, Cheng Dùshang must also be in his heart, since he has known Chen Kangjie, there have been no difficulties that have stumped him, and some of the difficulties he encountered before are greater than this, and Chen Kangjie has resolved them one by one.

"Hehe", Chen Kangjie smiled and pointed at Ouyang Zhenhua, "When I am a god?"

"Almost, almost!".

Just when the atmosphere of Chen Kangjie's conversation with Ouyang Zhenhua became relaxed and comfortable, Ouyang Zhenhua's secretary Lisa knocked on the door and came in, saying that the officials of the Prime Minister's Office were coming to welcome them to the Prime Minister's Office for a banquet.

The chief executive of Western Australia can be the governor or the prime minister, and is elected by the local government, and Western Australia has a special position in the whole Australian federation, according to the constitution, the continent is completely complete except for some legislative and judicial powers divided by the federation. The continent is governed by the Westminster system, the British-style parliamentary system of government, and the three powers (legislative, executive, and judicial).

Now that the time has come, Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua no longer communicated, got up and changed their clothes, and went to the dinner prepared by Richard Coater under the leadership of local officials.

Ouyang Zhenhua was accompanied by his secretary Lisa, an interim head in charge of Australian affairs, three investment advisers and the nominal "assistant" Chen Kangjie, and the rest were bodyguards.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is a classical building with British style, and it is only a 10-minute drive from the hotel where Chen Kangjie and his family stayed. m
