Chapter 367: A New Plan (continued)

"Hello, Prime Minister Rachi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Jiu smiled slightly and said.

Rakki stood up and shook Xiao Jiu's hand heavily.

He gave the butler on the side a look, and the butler bowed his head slightly and withdrew.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm curious, how do you know that Virgy is my good friend?" Rakhi's complexion is very dark, and the whole person gives an extremely shrewd feeling.

"I naturally have my own way." Xiao Jiu was a little mysterious.

Rakhi is the prime minister of NWFB, a parliamentary country with a population of 7 million. It is also the number two person in the country besides the president.

After deciding to invest in a large iron ore mine in NWFB, Xiao Jiu began to collect information related to the NWFB government on the Internet. When it became clear that Mr. Rakhi, a rising political star who had only come to power last year, had great influence in the government and parliament, Mr. Xiao decided to meet him directly through personal connections – which would be much more effective than communicating through lengthy and unproductive official channels.

As for Virgy, he is the most frequently contacted friend of some of Rakhi's private social accounts. Xiao Jiu naturally found this benevolent brother as an intermediary.

"The Americans are right, you Chinese are indeed geniuses at gathering intelligence." Rakki laughed, as if he didn't care.

But Xiao Jiu clearly saw a trace of jealousy in his heart.

"Virgy said, you want to negotiate a 100 billion dollar deal with me." Turning around and taking out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, Rakki poured three glasses: "I'm curious about what deals can reach the amount of hundreds of billions of dollars in our poor country. ”

"Absolutely." Xiao Jiu said with a smile: "Your country is a country rich in mineral resources. ”

Rakhi poured his hand over the wine and paused slightly.

"I want Dumans." Xiao Jiu restrained his smile and said a little seriously.

A few drops of red wine juice splashed out of the glass, and Rakhi's face changed slightly: "You actually want Dumans iron ore?" ”

"That's right." Xiao Jiu smiled and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Are you sure you have what it takes to develop this project?" Rakhi's face became more solemn and asked.

"Of course we have that strength." Xiao Jiu picked up a glass of wine very familiarly, gently raised his glass to ask Laki for wine, and drank half of it.

"Sir, I'm curious, are you negotiating with me on behalf of the red panda behind you?" Raki regained his composure and took a sip from his goblet.

"No, we're just a private company." Xiao Jiudao.

"Xiao, I don't think you have what it takes to build this project." A hint of disappointment appeared on Rakhi's face, and he shook his head.

"It's a big project." Xiao Jiu agreed: "From Dumang to the nearest deep-water wharf, a railway of 80 kilometers long will be built. If you want to transport iron ore out, you have to increase and deepen the deep-water wharf. The construction of railways and terminals alone will cost no less than four billion dollars. As for the construction of the mining area, from mining equipment to living facilities, it will be at least one billion dollars. ”

"It can't be so little." Rakki shook his head and said.

"Sir, don't forget, I'm a Chinese." Xiao Jiudao: "Our country has a lot of experience in building railways and deep-water docks. Compared to Australia, our construction price is cheaper. ”

Raki looked at Xiao Jiu suspiciously, and said: "Your country does have the ability to do this, however, I doubt that you have the ability to do this, in fact, in Tuoli Company and Hebilliton Company, they are also interested in Dumang Iron Mine." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu smiled: "They are interested in this iron ore, but they will never mine this iron ore, never." ”

"No, no." Laki shook his head and said with a serious face: "Xiao, I believe you have also investigated this project, and Tuoli Company and Hebilliton Company have indeed launched inquiries to our government. ”

"Mr. Prime Minister, that was ten years ago, right?" Xiao Jiudao: "As far as I know, they have not shown interest in this project in recent years. ”

Rakki grinned, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, and did not look half embarrassed by the lie being exposed.

"Mr. Prime Minister, in fact, you and I know very well in our hearts that the world's three major iron ore giants will not be able to develop this iron ore." Xiao Jiudao.

Huaxia is the world's largest importer of iron ore, but it does not have the pricing power to iron ore.

Several major iron ore suppliers such as Tuoli control more than 60% of iron ore production in the international market, but they are the dominant players in this market.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the development of the Dumans iron ore mine has always been an economic issue, but a political issue. A powerful giant like Tuoli, although they have the strength to develop this iron ore, they have no such intention. After all, if the minerals of this iron ore mine are mined, it will definitely impact the existing iron ore market. Now in the market, the price of iron ore is $55 a tonne per person. But if this iron ore is mined, I believe the price will drop below $40...... Only a fool would do such a self-digging grave. As for the other mining companies, although they are interested in developing, they do not have the ability of the giants. And, even if they have the ability, they don't necessarily have the guts. ”

Xiao Jiu drank another glass of wine and said, "Please forgive me for saying that your country's investment environment and political environment are too unstable. Any investor is worried that their investment in your country will be lost. ”

NWFB is just a country that has been independent for 30 years.

In this country, there are even close to a third of the people who live in a primitive way. Even, in some European and American stall literature, there are cannibal tribes and legends about this country. In the nearly 10 years since independence, the country's political situation has experienced numerous upheavals, and there have even been bad examples of military interference in politics. In the last two decades, the country's political situation has not been as volatile as it once was, but it has not been very stable.

"Xiao, then aren't you afraid that your investment in our country will be lost? Even if I reach an agreement with you, aren't you worried that after I step down, the future rulers will overturn the agreement? "Raki said.

Drinking all the wine in the cup, Xiao Jiu put down the wine glass.

"Sir, I don't care about the political situation in your country. I don't care if your faction is in power or down. ”

"But anyone who wants to infringe on my interests in the Dumans iron mine will definitely pay more than ten times the price."
