Li Yifan said through all kinds of miraculous flickering that he accidentally met a friend from Jinghua University some time ago, and this friend happened to have heard of this Zhou Yuanchao before, the two of them are alumni, although they are not friends, but they have also heard of his deeds.

At that time, I mentioned to him that I wanted to acquire DSI, and that friend was very enthusiastic to let him contact that Zhou Yuanchao Yunyun, so he investigated Zhou Yuanchao, so he had so much information at present.

After this explanation, Li Annie was finally fooled.

"Well, listening to you say this, I finally have a little confidence in my heart, so since those Aussies are unwilling to buy, then let's try to dig his corner, I'll go back and get in touch with that Zhou Yuanchao to see if he intends to leave this DSI company, if he is really willing to leave, then we will make a lot of money, poaching a few people, but it is far easier than buying a company."

Li Annie said to Li Yifan with a smile, and Li Yifan nodded with satisfaction.

It is true that DSI has not yet reached the point of exhaustion in later generations, and they really couldn't hold on to it back then, and when it went bankrupt, Geely only spent more than 40 million Australian dollars to take over the company.

But now this company can still insist on struggling to maintain, so if you want to buy them at this time, plus the Aussus, who has always liked the lion's big mouth, maybe they dare to ask for 500 million Australian dollars with themselves.

Since they are all unkind, then I am still polite to them and dig his core. Even if he is given a high salary. and dig out all those who are under him. I am afraid that it will not cost 500 million Australian dollars to re-establish a transmission design company, right?

Hehe, I'm afraid 100 million yuan is enough!

Thinking of this incident of digging the corner of the Australian Yankee, Li Yifan felt a great refreshment in his heart.

"Let's figure this out slowly, don't worry, after all, he has been working at DSI for more than ten years, if you want to say that there is no emotion, it must be fake, not to mention that we have to rely on him to persuade those people in his team to come out together. So we can get in touch with him slowly. Don't rush him, anyway, even if he doesn't want to come out for the time being, it won't do much good if he continues to stay at DSI. Now DSI's chaos, as well as the company's policies, will sooner or later anger him and his team. As long as we can get him done in the next two or three years, that's the best, and if you have other means, the sooner the better. It would be better to be able to dig him and his team out next year. ”

Li Yifan said to Li Annie with a smile, and Li Annie also nodded. It is indeed not so easy to poach someone who has worked in DSI for more than ten years, not to mention that there are more than 20 Australians in the team he leads?

It may not be so easy to persuade these people to leave their homes.

And Li Yifan is not particularly anxious about this matter, after all, for the time being, the so-called domestic independent brand car companies, has not developed at all, they really began to appear in the domestic automobile market, I am afraid it will be after 2003, and even if it is at that time, it is not too late to make another move.

"By the way, since you already have an idea about this DSI matter, what about the Rio Tinto matter? It's not that simple, right, if you dig the foot of the wall, it may be okay to use it on DSI, but when it is used on Rio Tinto, I'm afraid it's not so easy to use, right? Especially if they have a strong Japanese background? ”

Li Annie looked at Li Yifan with a smile and asked, Li Yifan could only shake his head helplessly, this matter is indeed very tricky, not to mention the resistance from the Australians, just the resistance from the Japanese, it must be not small.

Originally, he was still thinking that in a few years, when he had more time, he would go to Japan again, after all, because he had more than ten years of experience than now, he still knew very well about the changes in Japan during this time.

Especially the changes in some people in Japanese society, he knows very well, these guys have a lot of good things in their hands, originally he wanted to harvest in a few years, but now it seems that his jihua has to be carried out in advance.

"This, you don't have to worry, after a while, around the Spring Festival, I will personally go to Japan to see if I can find an opportunity to relieve the pressure of the Japanese, I believe that as long as the pressure from them is resolved, the next thing will be much easier."

Li Yifan was very confident when he said this, but Li Annie was very confused when she heard it, are the Japanese so easy to deal with? Why is this guy so confident?

But Zuihou still chooses to believe this guy, after all, he can always solve some problems that she can't imagine.

"By the way, since the acquisition of DSI has been suspended, the funds we prepared for the acquisition of DSI will not be used, I think we should go to other ways out as soon as possible."

"Oh? What is the way out? Tell me about it. ”

Li Yifan's investment vision is very unique, at this time he wants to make some investment, Li Annie is also interested, she wants to know which company this guy is aiming at this time.

"You help me check the Australian company Riversdale Mining Ltd, now this company's plate should not be big, if possible, take this company down to me in full."

Li Yifan smiled and said to Li Annie, and at the same time he was ruthless in his heart, since you Rio Tinto don't want me to be better, then you don't want to be better either, you want me to bleed, then let's see who bleeds more at that time.

"What does this business do?"

The little-known Riversdale Mining Ltd company, apparently Li Annie had never heard of it before, and now when she heard that Li Yifan was interested in this company, she was also interested.

"This company is a local coking coal refining industry company in Australia, and the company has several coking coal mines of very good quality, but the current business situation is not very good."

Li Yifan explained to Li Annie with a faint smile that in 2001, when Shijie's economic pointer had not exploded because of China's economic madness, the steel frenzy within Shijie had not yet arrived.

As we all know, today's steelmaking enterprises are inseparable from coke, and they need coke to purify molten iron, so coke can be said to be second only to iron ore in the demand of iron and steel enterprises.

At present, China's iron and steel tide has not yet come to its own, domestic iron ore can be produced and self-sufficient, and China's domestic coke, is not only enough for domestic use, and even a large number of exports to foreign countries every year, for the use of other foreign iron and steel companies, and so on from 2002 to 2003 for a period of time, China's domestic coke, and even once occupied about 60% of the export share of shijie coke.

It is not only supplied to the country, but also exported to steel companies in Europe, the Americas, Japan, and even Australia.

The reason is also very simple, although the cost of refining coke is not high, but the pollution to the environment is very large, and developed countries such as Europe, America, Australia, and Japan have very high environmental requirements for their own countries, so such enterprises, if they live in Europe, America, Japan, or Australia, the cost of environmental governance will be very high.

Therefore, it has caused a large number of coke exports in China, and even dominates the market.

With the rotation of the wheels of China's economic development, when the new leadership came to power, Huaguo entered the mode of real estate and automobile development, and the domestic iron and steel enterprises began to set off a new round of Dalian Iron and Steel frenzy, and the coke in China can basically only be used by domestic iron and steel enterprises.

Even in 2004, the China National Wealth Committee simply issued a ban, directly announcing the ban on the export of coke from China, which not only made the price of China's local coke enterprises soar, from less than 300 yuan to 1,300 yuan a ton, but also made the international coke price rise three times a day.

Later, the European Union also launched a series of trade wars with China because of China's ban on coke exports.

After that, the coking coal company of Riversdale Mining Ltd seized the opportunity and began to continuously expand the scale of production, not only for the use of domestic iron and steel enterprises, but also for a time to export products abroad, and when the steel frenzy in China intensified, the domestic coke products were not enough, the company, and even began to export coke products to China in large quantities.

In the era when Huaguo coke enterprises began to launch the international coke market, this company then jumped to become the largest exporter of Shijie coke market, and at its peak, it even occupied about 70% of the Shijie coke export market.

Zuihou even Rio Tinto was jealous of this company, and he felt that he couldn't stand it, so he directly sold four billion dollars to take down this company!

But that was ten years later, and now when many coke companies in China dominate the international market, with a large number of high-quality and low-cost coke made in China continuously pushed to the market, the life of this Riversdale Mining Ltd is not easy, and their market share is even lower.

Not to mention exporting their products abroad, even the steel mills owned by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton in China are reluctant to use their coke, for the simple reason that their products are too expensive compared to China's coke.

So at this time, the company's life can only be described as difficult, and it may even face bankruptcy at any time!

In this way, how could Li Yifan miss this opportunity to bleed Rio Tinto? (To be continued......)
