In Asia, Li Zhe completed a series of layouts in the Philippines, and after signing a package of cooperation agreements with the Chinese delegation, he took the women on the plane again, and the next stop was Paris. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEurope is in a very strange situation right now, and maybe it's time to get up close and personal with both sides.

……………………………………

Glencore headquarters in Switzerland, CEO Ivan? Larsenberg and his staff were discussing a piece of news from across the Atlantic.

"Peter Lee! Akademi? Tom! Isn't that the military contractor, can you tell me why they wanted to come to us? ”

Larsenberg wondered if the business scope of Canon and Akademi did not match at all! Akademi is indeed very hot at this time, they can feel it on the other side of the ocean, and they can hear all kinds of news about them. But what connection could there be between a big arms dealer and their Canon, could it be that their young over-the-top chairman had personally come to Europe to invite him to a banquet just to talk to them about the renewal of the security contract between Canon and their mercenaries?

No, no, no! That's impossible? Rasenberg immediately shook his head, it was too small to be worth mentioning.

Glencore, like Goldman Sachs in investment banking, is as ubiquitous in the commodities trading market as Goldman Sachs. It is the world's largest commodity trading oligarchy today, with good connections at the top of many countries, and the market value of assets under its name is conservatively estimated to be more than $100 billion.

Of course, the collapse of the global commodity market after the economic crisis and the continuous slump for several years in recent years have also caused Canon to suffer heavy losses, and it is now in a state of desperate selling mineral resources to stop the bleeding and fully integrating and restructuring its business.

And now Akademi? Even if they are far away in Europe, they have always heard the name of this former mercenary company, and now Akademi is no longer the pure military contractor of the past, and they do not need to rely on their energy companies for work, they have climbed up from the stinking swamp of the past and become a famous military industrial enterprise! How can you care about the small contract of more than 100 million US dollars with Glencore Energy?

Moreover, Canon has no intention of abandoning the security contract relationship with Akademi and signing contracts with other companies, and does not need the company's senior management to engage in public relations in person, and their minerals in Australia and Africa are still under the protection of Akademi's mercenaries. Globally, a giant energy company like Glencore, with minerals spread across the globe, must be protected by military contractors like Akademi.

Now that this Peter Lee himself is coming to Europe, what is this for?

It's not about buying minerals from yourself, haha! Larsenberg wanted to laugh, in the current global block trading market sluggishness, or just to get involved with his own company?

"No, sir!" His assistant Tom replied,

"Mr. Peter Lee's assistant, Miss Yuan, told me that he wanted to sell us minerals?"

Sell us minerals? Are you kidding

Glencore also needs Akademi, a mercenary company to peddle minerals to itself?

Larsenberg laughed!

And what minerals need to be sold by the chairman in person, with their Canon's reputation in the industry, a deal of no more than $1 billion is simply not worth his own appearance, what kind of deal can this Peter Lee come up with?

Oil, coal, or gold?

I haven't heard that Akademi has anything to do with any mineral resource tycoon?

"Miss Yuan didn't say much about the specifics, but she assured me that we would not be disappointed, and the specific trading varieties, she also explained to us, are gold and coal!"

"Gold and coal!"

Larsenberg hesitated,

"Gold, you can still think about it, but coal? Forget it! "Canon's own coal mines have to be sold cheaply, how can they want to eat other people's goods, and now the price of coal in the global trading market has actually collapsed, from nearly $140 or more at the beginning, to less than $70 now. Now is not the time to be a foodie.

And Akademi, as an outsider, do they understand this market, Glencore, as the first giant in the industry, will not look at anything half-stard, if it is coal, less than 10 million tons will not be considered, it is too embarrassing! It's really not interesting for giants like Canon, they are giants, and they have always been staring at national procurement.

However, considering the hot situation in Akademi recently, Larsenberg did not want to refuse, what if he could take advantage of this to get into a relationship? Doing business is small, but whether there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future is a big matter, they are all doing business, looking up and not looking down, there will always be useful opportunities, such as the rookies of Akademi, there will always be a lot of opportunities around them, they are munitions.

Li Zhe didn't expect that a simple announcement he asked Yuan Yingying to send was also very entangled.

He and his daughters flew directly to Paris, and after a day of shopping on the beautiful Champs-Élysées, they rushed to Switzerland, only to arrive in Zurich that night, and just stayed at the Dolder Hotel in Zurich, someone came to visit!

Li Zhe took the guest's business card and said in surprise:

"Anglo American? What the hell is this? Didn't we come to Canon, how could someone from Anglo-American resources come to the door? ”

Anglo American is also a giant in the bulk trading market, operating in coal, steel, oil, gold and diamonds, and the famous De Beers Diamond Group in Africa is a long-term partner of Anglo American. This is a real veteran resource giant, which has been in business for more than 100 years, and the controlling capital behind the scenes is led by British institutions.

Elena has the most eyes, and her mind turns,

"That's not easy, it must be an internal leak of Canon! Anglo American Resources and they are peers, peers are enemies, Anglo American Resources must have planted a secret line inside Canon, got the news in advance, and rushed to grab business. ”

Li Zhe said with a smile,

"But they don't know what our business is, how did they get it? They are not afraid of chickens and eggs, and in the end they are tricked by us. ”

Emma defended Anglo American:

"No, no, no, you underestimate an established company like Anglo American, although they are indeed inferior to Canon in terms of business scale in the global commodity market, but they are not comparable to Canon in terms of figuring out people's hearts and judging the current situation, they must have guessed you in advance, and it will definitely not be a small fight, so they will take the first step to pull away your customer, so that Canon can regret it."

Li Zhe smiled,

"Is this okay? As for it? ”

Emma replied:

"Of course, as for giants like them who are the top in the industry, every opportunity must be seized, every trap must be avoided, the world market has been up and down for a hundred years, and old giants like them have not been eliminated, there must be a lot of secrets in this."

"And now, a rising new figure like you, even if it is not for market competition, just to catch up with your relationship early, I am afraid it is worth their early start, British gentlemen, but who have been staring at the new continent on the other side of the ocean, a newly rising arms giant like you definitely has the value of preemptive investment!"

"Every time you take away an opportunity from the enemy, it is a double blow to the enemy!" Elena said quietly, "English gentlemen are by no means gentlemen in their behavior. ”

Emma's face turned red, but there was nothing to argue with.

Li Zhe stroked the beard on his chin with his fingers and said with a smile:

"It seems that we have really become big shots now!"

Big shot? Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
