Chapter 268 A Mining Company in Dire Distress (1/3, Ask for Subscription~)
Two days later, at 6 p.m. Australian time.
Outside Perth International Airport in Australia, Han Xiao hugged Ariel and Wang Changsheng got into a black Mercedes-Benz car.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Wang Changsheng gave Han Xiao a cigarette, yawned and said, "Xiao Han, it's not too early now, the time we agreed with Little John and them will be tomorrow morning." Tonight, let's rest in Perth for a day, and then go to Northam tomorrow......"
"It's very convenient to drive from us to Northam in a hurry, which is more than an hour. And it's definitely more comfortable here than in Northam. β
Little John's farm and mines are all located in the vicinity of Northam.
Han Xiao took a deep puff of his cigarette and turned his head to look at the scene outside the window. In the Northern Hemisphere, the nights are long and the days are short, but now the nights and days are long in Australia, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, the light is still abundant.
Ariel glanced at the smoke rising from the car with some disgust, reached out and shook the window open, looking out.
Although tobacco does not harm Ariel's body, Ariel still has some annoying taste.
Reaching out and touching Ariel's head, Han Xiao smiled and said, "Haha! I'm β¦not familiar with this place, uncle, you are half of the host, as long as you don't sell me and ariel, everything is up to you, uncle. β
"Xiao Han, you really like to joke, who can sell you? Not to mention, there's Ariel there! Wang Changsheng nodded with a smile, paused and said, "Then let's go to the hotel near the branch of Mingsheng Group." It's also a little closer to your own company, and it's more convenient. β
As he spoke, Wang Changsheng's gaze paused on Ariel's body.
He also heard about it only a few days ago, this little girl who has been following Han Xiao and never leaving an inch is actually a princess!
"Done." Han Xiao responded.
The person driving the car is the person in charge of Mingsheng Group in Perth. As soon as I heard that the destination was confirmed, I immediately drove towards the branch office.
The office of the group's branch is located near Perth Harbour, which is not far away. Because the mining industry is very developed here, there are many hotels near the port.
found a hotel to check in, Wang Changsheng let Han Xiao feel free, and he yawned and went back to the room to take a nap first.
Although Wang Changsheng told Han Xiao on the phone before that there was a lot of time, in fact, he really didn't have much time.
After the crisis when Wang Changming was taken away last time, Wang Changming actually rose up. was promoted to another level, became the director of the provincial party committee office, and suddenly became a hot figure, and many people who were taken away for self-protection because Wang Changming was cleared of their intestines.
There is a way, a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven.
Wang Changming's status has been improved, and Mingsheng Group, an enterprise with an absolutely close relationship with Wang Changming, has naturally attracted a lot of attention. In addition, Liu Xuan also saw from this incident that Han Xiao attached great importance to the Wang family, and the cooperative relationship became intimate, and the business of Mingsheng Group expanded a lot.
Even if Wang Changsheng hired a role like CEO, he was not as good as Han Xiao after all. I can't afford to be a shopkeeper. This time, I was able to accompany Han Xiao to buy a farm here, and it was really hard to find time.
Yesterday, he barely slept to make time.
Wang Changsheng went to sleep, and Han Xiao walked out of the hotel with Ariel in his arms. I walked around the neighborhood and had dinner on the way.
After getting up early the next morning and having a buffet breakfast, it was still an employee of the Mingsheng Group's branch who drove Han Xiao and Wang Changsheng to Northam.
The car drove for an hour and a half. I entered Northam and, not long after, stopped in front of a mining company named Fernand.
Mingsheng Group's coal, iron ore and so on are transported from Northam to Perth. John Jr.'s corporate headquarters are located here in Northam. However, according to Wang Changsheng, John Jr. generally lives in the mining area, and the company's affairs are mainly handled by the CEO, and he is rarely responsible for management matters.
Wang Changsheng took Han Xiao Ariel into the company, asked the front desk MM to call the CEO's office, and then took the elevator upstairs.
The CEO's office is on the seventh floor.
The CEO of Fernande Mining Company is named Monks, a middle-aged man in his mid-forties with a beard.
After entering the CEO's office, Monk asked the secretary to pour coffee for everyone and prepared a Coke with lemon slices for Ariel. After signing the documents again, Monks got up with a smile and greeted him in English: "King of Huaxia, I already know the reason why you are here." I heard you're buying up two of Chairman John's farms? You Chinese people are really rich. β
Monks is not Chinese.
If it were a Chinese person, they would definitely change the word "really rich" to "local tyrant".
Wang Changsheng also knew some simple English, and said a few words: "Mr. Monks, you think highly of me, and you also know how much my family has." The two ore ships were able to run, thanks to the care of little John's father, who allowed us to default on the first payment. If it weren't for that, we'd still have a headache for the payment......"
After the words fell, Wang Changsheng paused, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Xiao again, and introduced: "This is Han Xiao, one of my business partners, and he wants to buy those two farms." β
As he spoke, Han Xiao had already stood up, stretched out his hand to Monks, shook it, and said in English, "Hello Mr. Monks, my name is Han Xiao." β
βhan-xiaoοΌ It's really a strange name, and the name of your Chinese people always makes people feel strange when they read it. Monk complained, reaching out to hold Han Xiao's hand vigorously, "Mr. Han, it's really admirable to see that you are so young, but you can spend more than 50 million Australian dollars to buy a farm." However, I wonder if you have done any research? β
"In fact, the return on investing in farms here in Australia is not very high, only 5%, and there are even a large number of people who do not even have 5%. Such a return is not worth investing in for a smart investor, is it? β
Monks's English was a little fast, but Han Xiao didn't understand.
Ariel translated it into Chinese for Han Xiao. Han Xiaocai looked at Monks speechlessly-
Is this really the CEO that little John hired? How does it feel like a high-level undercover agent sent by a hostile company? Nima actually didn't let herself buy her boss's farm, how could this be broken?
Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Monks, what do you mean by this?" β
Ariel translated for Monks, only to see Monks' gaze linger on Ariel's body for a moment, and he was surprised: "Oh my God, it's really standard English pronunciation." I can assure you, Mr. Han Xiao, that this is definitely the youngest 'translator' I have ever seen. β
After a pause, Monk smiled again and said, "Mr. Han." I mean...... Are you interested in investing in something else? Since you and Mr. Wang are friends, you should also know that his new company's ore ship is very profitable, and if you go back and forth between China and Australia, it only takes two months to get 1.5 million Australian dollars. And his total investment is only close to 20 million Australian dollars. It will take two years for all the investments of Mingsheng Group to be fully recovered. β
"Look, it's called investment!"
Ariel translated Monks' words again. It's just that Han Xiao still can't understand what Monk wants to say.
"Mr. Monks, you may not know, but I am also a shareholder of Mingsheng Group. What exactly do you want to do when you say this? β
"I really didn't expect it. You are also a shareholder of Mingsheng Group. Monk smiled and said, "I just wanted to give you some investment advice." In my opinion, investing in a freighter is far more cost-effective than investing in a farm, and the returns are amazing! If you are interested, I can help you contact several ocean freight companies. I heard about a company that had financial problems recently. Declared bankrupt. If you're interested, you can buy some freighters at the lowest price......"
"And. I'm the CEO of Fernand, and we're also partners, so maybe we can deepen our cooperation on this. β
Han Xiao narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Monks, our relationship now is actually very ordinary. The fact that you have promised me so many benefits will only make me more vigilant. β
There is no pie in the sky, and if it does, it is most likely not a pie, but a discus.
This guy named Monks, he was only meeting for the first time, and he kept encouraging him to buy a freighter, no one could be at ease, right?
It's like two people who meet for the first time and suddenly say to you, come and invest in xxx, I promise you'll make money.
This kind of person will only be regarded as a deception.
"Damn...... Oh, Mr. Han, I'm not talking about you. In fact, it's a very good thing for you to invest in a freighter at this time......"
Monks' voice had just finished when he heard a voice from outside the door, "...... What Monk means is that if you use the money you pay to buy a farm to buy a freighter, it's a good thing for you and for us Fernand. β
As he spoke, a man walked in through the door.
This person is more than 1.85 meters tall, with a strong figure, his skin is slightly dark due to the sun, and he is wearing a set of hard-wearing canvas clothes and pants, although it looks like it should be new, but it is still stained with some dust.
This person walked quickly to the front of Wang Changsheng and hugged Wang Changsheng: "Hello, Mr. Wang, welcome to your arrival." β
Then, this person stretched out his hand to Han Xiao again, and shook hands with Han Xiao vigorously: "Hello, Mr. Rich from Huaxia." I'm John, the owner of those two farms. Of course, you can also call me Little John. β
Han Xiao smiled and nodded: "Hello, my name is Han Xiao." Thank you for your first meeting. (To be continued......)
ps: I'm so tired in the past two days, and I'm not in a good state...... The update is late, and I feel ashamed, so forgive me.
