Kumho's $1.5 billion investment plan, without even a more detailed plan, is at most a big pie in the air, but for the cold and unattended Consulate General in Perth, it is like a shot in the arm, and it is understandable for overseas institutions to support the development of private enterprises overseas.

For a long time, MCC Australia has been isolated in Western Australia, and the beautiful cooperation between Kumho and MCC in the domestic rare earth industry has undoubtedly made MCC Australia more excited about Kumho's performance in Western Australia - Jia Zhiyi believes that Kumho's plan will at least promote the company's determination to increase the annual output of the Chana iron ore mine to 10 million tons as soon as possible.

Those small and medium-sized iron ore traders have always relied on large miners for survival, and because the domestic dependence on Western Australia's iron ore is not high, these iron ore traders from China are not very important in Perth. Chana Iron Mine will increase its annual production to 10 million mines, and Kumho will invest another 10 million tons of iron ore in Western Australia, which means that the trade of iron ore shipped from Western Australia to the country will surge nearly sevenfold. Although Kumho has made it clear that the iron ore it has invested in will supply United Steel, the surge in trade volume and the demonstration effect of United Steel will cause the domestic steel industry to pay attention to Western Australia's iron ore resources as a whole, and the position of iron ore traders in Perth will be different. Besides, Kumho Sho has less than two million tonnes of import rights at this time, and if the state is stuck in Kumho Sho's neck on the import authority, Kumho Sho's excess iron ore produced in Western Australia can only be imported into the domestic market through China Metallurgical Corporation or them.

The Western Australian government and the public have strong opinions on the export of iron ore resources to Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, which seriously affects the further development of resources in the region.

Western Australia's dependence on the mineral industry is extremely high, economic development, employment increase almost all depend on the prosperity of the mineral industry, in the current global steel market demand is weak, especially the Asian financial turmoil has made the rapid rise of the Asian steel consumer market also fall silent and do not know when it will be a real recovery, global industrial capital to invest in iron ore enthusiasm continues to decrease, it can be said to have reached a low point in the past ten years, Kumho's investment plan of up to 1.5 billion US dollars, It is extremely tempting for the government and the public of Western Australia, which has a total population of just over 2 million.

When Kumho advertised the US$1.5 billion, 10 million tonnes iron ore investment plan at the Chinese Consulate General in Perth, the sensation in the small city of Perth was quite enthusiastic, and only the offices of Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Mitsui, Mitsubishi and Itenchu in Perth remained silent.

Hidezo Ikesa learned the news of Kumho Shoji's plan to invest in iron ore mines in Western Australia in Beijing on June 2, the second bad news he has heard in a row this month.

Affected by the inside information that CNOOC may have made significant geological discoveries in the mouth of the Bohai Bay, Mitsui & Co.'s previous pressure on CNOOC's listing and financing plan in the Hong Kong securities market through various channels has been quite limited.

That's fine, Chisa Hidezo is not a simple militarist, he must exert strong containment on the rise of China, and economic penetration is the mainstream trend of thought that dominates Mitsui's investment in China, but every time he thinks of Li Xinyu's disheveled Jianye who is in the same room as Zhang Ke in the early morning, Ikesa Hidezo is furious.

"Bang!" Ikesa Shuzo slammed his fist on the desk, and the teacup was knocked upside down and rolled down on the carpet, leaving tea stains everywhere, and he was in no mood to clean it up.

When he tried his best to support Kewang and wanted to suppress the development of Kumho's consumer electronics industry, Kumho has sprung up in the steel and port industries, and now it is extending its tentacles to the upstream iron ore resources, and it will suddenly spread out a stall of 1.5 billion US dollars; He also already knew that Kumho Corporation was the largest grey-market investor in CNOOC's Hong Kong listing.

In the mid-60s, Mitsui & Co. joined forces with Mitsubishi and Itengzhong to enter the industrial layout of iron ore resources in Western Australia.

Kumho seems to be weak, not enough to make Mitsui an enemy, but after June last year, Kumho miraculously won the high trust of many Chinese business consortiums in Southeast Asia, during the period when Chinese capital fled Indonesia last year, Kumho directly absorbed as much as 1.4 billion to 1.8 billion US dollars, and also cross-held shares with Nanyang Shipping (Singapore), Wanye Group (moved to Singapore), Yunyuan Group (Ma Ya Xilai) and other Chinese business consortiums, forming a close strategic alliance.

This is the basis for Kumho's continuous expansion in the name of Kumho Corporation in Japan and abroad over the past year.

What is even more heart-wrenching is that between June and December last year, a total of 6 billion to 8 billion US dollars of Indonesian Chinese capital was directly channeled by Kumho to the two provinces of Donghai and Jiangnan, and these capitals could become a new force in Kumho's strategic expansion overseas at any time due to their close relationship with Kumho.

At this time, Kumho is no longer as weak as it seemed a year ago.

Chisa Hidezo frowned, at this time, the containment of Kumho is no longer within his ability, his authority is to coordinate Mitsui's business in China, when Kumho's development is far from being limited to China, it should be the chaebol headquarters to attract enough attention.

He looked at the letter on the table, pondering the words of the report to the chaebol.

On June 2, Lee Jae-so was in Jianye, and he went to the Aida Library between Tunghai University and the Conservatory of Music to have a look.

The pace of construction is quite fast, it seems that it has not been a few months since the news came out, and the six-story building with a three-dimensional geometric shape is standing in front of him, Lee Jae-so remembers that this was a simple house before, and the sidewalks on the side of the road were also potholes, but he didn't expect to clean up in such a short time.

Kumho's donation in the name of AIDA Group has earned a high reputation for AIDA, and the Chinese propaganda department seems to be willing to give Kumho large-scale publicity for this kind of donation to cultural causes, which cannot stabilize AIDA's position in the Chinese consumer electronics market.

Although the Samsung Group also follows the development model of a comprehensive trading company, after the impact of the Asian financial turmoil, the pace of expansion has been somewhat restrained, and last year it even decisively cut off some branches and leaves to focus on the development of Samsung Electronics.

For Mr. Lee, he is more concerned about competing with Kumho's Aeda Group in China's consumer electronics market, and Posco's actions in Western Australia should be a headache for POSCO.

Lee Jae-so is more concerned about the news of Quantum Online's listing on the NASDAQ in the United States today than Kumho's actions in Western Australia. After all, Oak Park Venture Capital Fund, a subsidiary of AIDA Group, is the most important investor in Quantum Online, and the successful listing of Quantum Online means that Kumho can withdraw more funds from Nasdaq for the development of microelectronics technology and industry.

The total share capital before listing was 50 million shares, with Ma Xiangdong, Liang Wenjiang and other management holding about 8 million shares, Oak Park Venture Capital directly holding about 7 million shares, Goldman Sachs and the first venture capital funds such as Walden Group to invest in Quantum Online holding 180 million shares, and 17 million shares were transferred to Oak Park Ventures at a price of $38 million in the last equity adjustment to ESS's fund organization, ESS as the heavy experimental base of Aida Group in the United States. Lee Jae-so couldn't be clearer.

Quantum Online plans to raise more than $25 million in new shares at a public offering price of $3.4 for the NASDAQ listing.

After several venture capital fundraising, Quantum Online has absorbed enough development funds, the last pre-listing equity adjustment, at a price of $3 per share to Goldman Sachs venture capital fund issued about 4 million new shares, this alone raised 12 million US dollars, Quantum Online is not short of development funds, public listing is just to give the venture capital that entered before the opportunity to withdraw from Quantum Online's profits.

Lee Jae-so looked at his watch, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, and it was still early before the opening time of the NASDAQ in the United States, and he thought to himself that Kumho's senior executives were probably all gathered in the United States to celebrate the success of Quantum's online listing, but according to public information, except for Su Jindong, vice president of Aida Group, Zhao Zilin, president of Oak Park Venture Capital, and the main management of Quantum Online led a team with the Chinese media team to the United States, I have not heard of any other Kumho high-level executives going to the United States.

Even if the new technology wave continues, when the six-month lock-up period expires, the stock price of Quantum Online will double the issue price, and the total market value of the shares held by Aida Group will only be $150 million.

Lee Jae-so retracted his thoughts and planned to get in the car and return to the hotel, Xinyu also used the excuse that there were classes to be held at school, and he didn't want to meet him, and he didn't know where Xinyu and Zhang Ke had developed, whether they were occasionally having fun, or were they willing to be a woman behind Zhang Ke? It would be a shame for the family to spread the news, but it would be worth it if it caused Chisa Suzang to become strongly hostile to Kumho, and Lee Jae-so decided to continue to hide the news from the family.

Lee Jae-so just got into the car and closed the door, and saw a Mercedes-Benz coming from the corner of the street, Lee Jae-so asked the driver to slow down a little, and saw the Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the library Zhang Ke came out of it, he was slightly stunned, thinking: When will Zhang Ke return to China?

Zhang Ke didn't see the car Li Zaizhu was sitting in, he had just returned to Jianye via Perth via Hong Kong, Ye Jianbin got off the plane in Hong Kong, and he had to personally keep an eye on the listing of CNOOC -- Zhai Danqing and Zhang Ke returned to Jianye together.

Zhai Danqing is not as leisurely as Zhang Ke, and when she came back from the airport, she came back to see the progress of the construction of the library, and Zhai Danqing wanted to prepare for her to go to Perth again to preside over the overall situation.

Jianye's work had to be handed over to Ye Xiaotong, elites from Kumho companies had to be drawn to form an elite team of offices in Perth, and officials from the China Metallurgical Corporation and the Metallurgical Industry Bureau had to be in contact -- Kumho could not do without the support of the domestic metallurgical system for the expansion of mineral resources overseas.

Kumho was unable to make a large-scale domestic expansion into the basic resource industry due to the constraints of domestic industrial policies, but its overseas expansion was not restricted by domestic policies.

Zhang Ke squinted, looking at the sunset on the roof of the building in the distance, this time it was nearly a month to leave Jianye, this time I don't know how long I could stay in Jianye, looking at the construction progress of the library, it should not be too much of a problem to be completed and put into use before the start of school in the fall.

Zhang Ke squinted for a while, then turned around and walked towards Xuefu Lane, Zhai Danqing was going to Perth, Jingmeng was also going to Singapore to study, the lively Jianye was about to be empty again, walked to the corner of Xuefu Lane, and received a call from Ye Jianbin .

"It's only been less than four hours since we were apart, and you remembered me again?" Zhang Ke joked with Ye Jianbin .

"Who will miss you if they have nothing to do," Ye Jianbin said, "I just met with Liu Chengwei of CNOOC, and the problem of the Xinyi oilfield is still out of the way, and the Chinese person in charge of the cooperative exploration with Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company has been dragged into the water and has been given shuanggui." The Economic and Trade Commission and CNOOC still have no intention of tearing up their faces with Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company, and this matter will only be handled internally, but they will use this matter to make Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company make concessions in cooperation -- it should not have a major impact on the listing. ”

"Businessmen are profitable, and we are also businessmen," Zhang Ke smiled slightly, and said to Ye Jianbin on the phone, "If this matter is poked out, Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company will be heavily fined in the United States, and it doesn't seem to be of special benefit to us, and we will also delay CNOOC's listing and financing plan, and the internal handling will be handled internally, as long as we don't let go of the internal ghosts——"

In this way, it can be confirmed that there are a large number of oil and gas resources in the Xinyi sea area, CNOOC has built a refining base in Xinting, but there is no need to worry about the source of crude oil, CNOOC develops oil and gas resources in the Xinyi sea area and other East China Sea areas, and after the production is mature, it can increase the output of crude oil by almost 100 million barrels per year, which is enough to support the supply of raw materials for refineries of tens of millions of tons.

In terms of the scale of CNOOC's development in the next few years, the billions of dollars that will be raised from the Hong Kong capital market this time are far from enough, but the meal must always be eaten one bite at a time, and CNOOC can develop and grow in the field of refined oil products, at least it can limit PetroChina's greed for the domestic market and Sinopec, and it can also accelerate China's layout of overseas oil and energy industries.

Talking to Ye Jianbin and arrived outside the 1978 gate, Zhang Ke looked inside and didn't see Sun Jingmeng's figure: This girl planned to study in Singapore without saying a word.

"I haven't seen you for a long time," He Xian, who was standing at the bar, saw Zhang Ke probing his brain at the door, and greeted him, "Which beautiful woman are you looking for?" ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "How do you feel like I just met you yesterday?" ”

He Xian knew that it was not Zhang Ke's opponent to fight with a mouth, so Yanran smiled and asked Zhang Ke what he was drinking.

The inner alley from Dongda East Gate to Siyuan Road is almost full of bars, and there are few bars that will open in the afternoon, of course Zhang Ke will not sit alone in front of the bar and drink in the dusk, so he asked He Xian to help him make a cup of coffee. At this time, there were not many people in 1978, Zhang Ke was sitting in front of the bar, chatting with He Xian while drinking coffee, and when a cup of coffee was about to be refilled, Sun Jingmeng walked in.

"Decided to go to Singapore?" Zhang Ke took another cup from the bar and gave half a cup of coffee to Jing Meng.

"Well," Sun Jingmeng nodded and said, "I actually decided to go to Singapore to study dance before I came to Jianye to study, but I couldn't make it four years ago, so I came to Jianye with my sister - I can't learn dance anymore when I go to Singapore this time, everyone is old - learn something, you can help my sister, I don't want to be a moth for the rest of my life." ”

"Hehe," Zhang Ke smiled, Sun Jingmeng was eight months older than him, and the shares transferred by Sun Shangyi and his wife to the names of Sun Jingxiang and Sun Jingmeng could be used as moths for them for eight lifetimes, and asked, "You are gone, what should I do in 1978?" ”

"I don't know," Sun Jingmeng pursed her lips and said, "Du Fei's kid smells of copper, 1978 can't be transferred to Chuangyu, maybe just turn it off." ”

"It's a pity to turn it off," Zhang Ke said, "I'm actually very free, I'll take care of it for you." ”

Sun Jingmeng was not moved to tears, but glanced at Zhang Ke suspiciously, and asked, "You won't take the opportunity to hook up with other girls, right?" ”

"......" Zhang Ke smiled helplessly and said, "The direct flight from Jianye to Singapore may also be opened in the second half of the year, and you will know if you often go back to Jianye to see." ”

Sun Jingmeng saw that Zhang Ke was also concerned about the news of the direct flight between Jianye and Singapore, so she quietly didn't quarrel with him anymore, and after a while, she said: "It's good to have you take care of 1978, and I'm not willing to turn it off like this." ”

Zhang Ke planned to find a place to eat alone with Sun Jingmeng, but unfortunately Du Fei's sense of smell was sensitive, and he blocked them directly in 1978.

"Quantum Online went public in the United States tonight, you know how many people in China are involved, but you don't care at all?" Du Fei walked in and watched Zhang Ke, Sun Jingmeng, and He Xian leisurely drinking coffee around the bar.

"What's there to care about?" Zhang Ke asked with a smile, Kumho's Quantum online shares will not pass the lock-up period until six months at the earliest, and there is nothing to care about tonight's opening and closing prices, but for the domestic Internet industry, today is a sleepless night.

Quantum Online is the first Internet company in China to be listed on the NASDAQ, and whether Quantum Online can succeed tonight will directly reflect the friendliness of the U.S. capital market to new technology companies with the Chinese logo.

Once Quantum Online is successful, it means that more venture capital will go to China's Internet industry to pan for gold, and it also means that the domestic Internet industry will get more development funds, but at the same time, it will also more directly transmit the new technology bubble trend in the European and American capital markets to the domestic securities market.

If Quantum Online goes public, it will suffer a serious setback, which also means that the confidence of the domestic Internet industry will be seriously damaged.

Zhang Ke rubbed his temples, smiled, and said, "A new hero is about to be born again, and tonight may be more lively." ”

He knew that Quantum Online would succeed tonight, that Ma Xiangdong and Liang Wenjiang would become heroes of China's Internet industry and be warmly welcomed by the media, and that the scale of the media that followed and reported on the United States in China was much larger than any overseas listing of a domestic company.

Jianye's Internet industry cluster is small in scale, but Oak Park Ventures is a direct investor in Quantum Online, will the success of Quantum Online stimulate the leapfrog development of Jianye's Internet industry?

Zhang Ke has nothing to worry about Quantum Online's listing on the NASDAQ in the United States tonight, and there is still a lot of accumulated information to see and deal with after dinner. At nine o'clock in the night, before the U.S. stock market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean was about to open, Du Fei called again, and Zhang Ke put down what he was doing and went to the Bug Club studio on the third floor of the Chuangyu Internet Café to join in the fun.

The backbone members of the Worm Club studio are all there, Ma Li and Yang Yi are also there in the management of Zhuo Yu Network, Ling Xiaoyan and Qin Gang are all there, and Du Fei is answering the phone.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "What are you doing so enthusiastically to help Quantum online?" Do you want to help someone count money? ”

"What is the grey market price?" Shi Xuebin asked: "Oak Park Venture Capital should know the price of the grey market!" ”

Although few people know Zhang Ke's true identity, Zhang Ke's relationship with Aida Group and Oak Park is so close that it is like an arm, and the backbone of the creation of the domain such as Shi Xuebin, Shi Xinfei, and Dong Yuehua is still very clear.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "The public offering price is 3.2 US dollars, as for how much can be opened, I will tell you the grey market price, isn't there a lot less suspense?" "I didn't look at the web page showing the trading situation of the NASDAQ stock market in the United States, and dragged a slippery wheelchair to the side.

Du Fei took the phone and said to Zhang Ke: "The call from Mr. Chen, the general manager of Dongda Branch, he can't help but know the grey market price of Quantum Online in advance. ”

In addition to investing in Zhuoyu.com, Dongda Science and Technology Development Corporation also invested in two Internet websites created by teachers and students of Dongda, and naturally it was also very concerned about the listing of Quantum Online, Zhang Ke waved his hand at Du Fei, signaling to ignore it.

There are not many domestic Internet companies that can be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States before the bubble of the new technology wave, but it is also a good choice to deceive more overseas venture capitalists. Zhang Ke also thought that Horizon and Haisu Technology also invested in the 8818 online mall, Yan Wenjie, Lin Xue, and Wang Haisu were probably staring at Quantum Online's every move, if Quantum Online could be a big success, their ambitions would be even more inflated, right?
