In the end, in order to save his reputation and position, Jonathan agreed to Jeffrey's terms, and ceded his lithium mine to Jeffrey's new Talison Company for 100 million Australian dollars, and also gave Jeffrey and them 30% of the tantalum deposits around Greenbush controlled by their Talison Company for another 100 million Australian dollars.
Although his company will lose a lot of money in this way, I don't know how he persuaded several other partners, but in short, this is how it happened.
On the side of the new Talisen, Jin Xiaoqiang and Jeffrey of course have to redivide the equity.
After all, in this crisis, Jin Xiaoqiang contributed the most, and if it weren't for him, they would not have been able to win so many mineral resources.
And Jeffrey and the others also sincerely admired Jin Xiaoqiang, and they also felt secretive about his vast powers, and they were even more in awe of him.
Therefore, on the occasion of the establishment of the new company, several of them once again took out five percent of the shares and gave them to Jin Xiaoqiang, Jin Xiaoqiang's ability to take all of them in black and white, made them feel that if there is such a major shareholder to sit in charge of the company, the company may develop stronger in the future, and everyone will of course get greater benefits.
The chairman of the company, of course, is Jin Guozhu, but Jin Guozhu will not be too involved in the company's operation, and Jin Xiaoqiang still plans to hand over the management of the company to Jeffrey, because he is familiar with the operation of lithium mines after all, and he is also the second largest shareholder of the company, he must be a person who hopes that the company will get better and better.
Before leaving Australia, Jin Xiaoqiang also signed a contract with the company in the name of Huayang Power, that is, Talisen will provide lithium powder for five years at a price ten to fifteen percent lower than the current market price, like Huayang Power to provide five years of lithium ore powder, of course, the price will still fluctuate according to the market.
The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang did this is also because in the future, if Huayang Power develops electric vehicles, then it may use a large number of lithium ore powder, if at that time, and then import from Australia, the price may have begun to soar, you must know that the last two years are the time when lithium battery technology has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Now the price of lithium ore powder is not too high, so it is more cost-effective to stock up on the cheap price now than to buy it after the price of lithium ore powder rises in the future.
In addition, although he is the majority shareholder behind this company, if the company takes these mineral powders for nothing, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other shareholders of the company, and the Australian political axe will definitely not be happy.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to buy it, so that in fact, it is just a flow of funds from the left hand to the right hand, and you can also get the internal low price, which is very cost-effective.
Of course, Jeffrey and several other major shareholders will not object to Jin Xiaoqiang's conditions, after all, he is the largest single shareholder of the company, and now he gives Huayang Power some benefits, maybe in the future Huayang will lead them to open the market of the Celestial Empire.
Since everyone has their own little ninety-nine, this negotiation went smoothly, and it took a total of three days to complete the cooperation intention.
This time to Australia can be said to have gained a lot from Jin Xiaoqiang, originally for Talisen, but I didn't expect to finalize a cooperation agreement with a few scientists who have research on solar cells on the way, and also easily from the hands of Jonathan, seized most of Talisen's interests, which can be said to be a great benefit.
And the most important thing is that this incident made him realize the strength of the Pantis family.
When he was in Germany, he felt that the Pantis family was a little mysterious, and it was no wonder that Howard. Thompson, the mayor of Boston, would look at the Pantis family like that.
It turns out that this family is a well-known mafia family in the United States, and it is a big family that goes hand in hand with the four major families in New York.
Although the power of the mafia has been gradually declining in the United States over the years, it has been hit many times by the FBI in the United States, but that is only on the surface.
At present, many American mafias have infiltrated deeper into society, and some have even whitewashed the original forces and are developing towards a new type of mafia.
For example, the Pantis family, their home is in Atlantic City, where they control almost half of Atlantic City, and their tentacles also spread throughout New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Memphis, and most of the developed cities on the East Coast.
When it comes to casino cities in the United States, people always think of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, but what people don't know is that in Louisiana, in the southeast of the United States, there is a Shreveport, the third largest casino in the United States, and now it is also rising, and behind the rise of this casino is the shadow of the Pantis family.
And in order to avoid the blow of the American political axe, now the Pantis family has decentralized their business a lot, and in the current era of increasing internationalization, their mafia is certainly not willing to be left behind.
Now their business has quietly infiltrated Australia, and has taken root here for more than 20 years.
In Melbourne, the family owns the largest casino in Australia, and also operates many underground businesses, such as pawnshops, notebooks and so on.
The reason why Derek was able to help Jin Xiaoqiang this time was precisely because that Jonathan was a frequent visitor to a high-end club owned by his family.
Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't care what the origin of this Derek is, he doesn't care what their family does, in his opinion, this guy has helped him, and he said that he is engaged in an industry, maybe he will be able to help him one day.
So this Derek. In his opinion, Pantis should be his friend, and after this incident, of course, he gave Derek a lot of benefits, but Dunedrick refused.
Derek helped Jin Xiaoqiang this time, completely to repay him for saving Emily's life, money, as the heir of a big family, he is not short of money.
And he is also very optimistic about Jin Xiaoqiang's business, their family has been living in the dark, although it has been gradually bleached in recent years, but people still often look at their family with colored glasses.
So over the years, Derek's family has also been seeking some changes, and now they have taken the line of Jin Xiaoqiang, which also gives them hope, Jin Xiaoqiang's Huayang Power is a very potential new entity enterprise, and they are very optimistic about the development of Huayang Power.
Now that he is online with Jin Xiaoqiang, maybe everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, which is Derek's real purpose.
What was Derek thinking, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't care too much, he only knew that Derek helped him this time, and he owed him a favor, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he wouldn't mind pulling him.
After taking care of the affairs of Australia, Jin Xiaoqiang is in a hurry to return to China, and there are still many things that he needs to worry about.
In China, Zhu Junxi's negotiations with many large domestic independent brand enterprises have been carried out to the final stage, and many car companies are very interested in Huayang Power's proposal to form a joint association.
After all, the current domestic pure independent car companies are defective in terms of technical capabilities, and Huayang Power is undoubtedly the best in this regard.
In many technical fields, Huayang Power can be said to maintain a leading position for these domestic car companies, and their technical capabilities can even be said to be in line with international standards.
Moreover, their attitude towards domestic car companies is still very friendly, so many car companies hope to get technical support from them.
Zhu Junxi can be said to be very popular in the domestic automobile industry, and many CEOs of independent car companies, or executives within the company, know him, so he shouted so highly, and many car companies immediately sent people to participate in this joint negotiation.
Coupled with the technical support that Jin Xiaoqiang has nodded and agreed, so Zhu Junxi's negotiations this time can be said to have made great progress, and the companies that participated in the joint negotiation meeting include, Liji Group, Ricky Group, Great Wall Group, Southeast Motor, Huaijiang Automobile, and even Central China, such state-owned car companies have participated in this negotiation, and everyone is very interested in forming a joint association.
Huayang Power announced that it will soon establish Huayang Seiko to provide parts support for domestic car companies, which has been supported by many participants.
You must know that although everyone makes cars, many car parts are imported from foreign countries, especially some key parts of engines and transmissions, almost more than 80% of which are imported from the capital.
And mainly from the introduction of Aisin Seiki, but where will the small book according to what kind intentions, although they have opened up some technical fields, and the right to purchase parts to the Celestial Empire enterprises, but everyone knows that the part they open is often from the current mainstream technology level in the world, two to three generations behind some products.
In this way, these domestic car companies, at the technical level, are often difficult to compete with their products.
But now the emergence of Huayang Seiko is completely going to break this monopoly situation.
You must know that although Huayang Power also has some hidden secrets, it is still open to domestic car companies in most parts and technical fields.
For example, this four-speed manual transmission series, domestic manufacturers, I don't know how many times the neck has been stuck by that Aisin, want to introduce, that line, but you must match the conditions of our own engine, I don't know how many domestic manufacturers scratch their heads.
And now that Huayang Seiko is about to appear, it will completely break such a monopoly situation!
