675. in the first place

"These Australian turtles, as well as these Japanese Yaga, are really bastards!"

Li Yifan angrily patted the back of the sofa chair next to him, he was so simple and rude, but Li Annie was startled, this was the first time they had known each other for so long, and she had seen Li Yifan like this gaffe.

"Aussie, are you going to let the Japanese lead you by the nose like this? And isn't this Rio Tinto headquartered in the UK? It seems that many of the directors in their company are British and Spanish, right? Could it be that they all listen to the Japanese so obediently? ”

Li Yifan asked casually again, this Rio Tinto company originated as a Spanish company in the early years, and later moved to the United Kingdom for some reason.

Therefore, many of the senior directors in the company are Europeans.

"Yifan, the Japanese have been working on Rio Tinto for many years, the earliest even back to the sixties of the last century, when Japan's economy just began to take off, they began to enter the automobile manufacturing industry on a large scale, because of the shortage of iron ore in China, so they began to extend their tentacles to Rio Tinto in Australia and Vale in Brazil. They have been slow to infiltrate Vale, and only recently have they succeeded in negotiating an agreement with Vale's parent company, Valepar, to sign a contract next year, when they will become the majority shareholder of Valepar, holding 15 percent of the shares. As for the penetration of Rio Tinto, it was earlier and more successful, they began to contact the Australian Rio Tinto company as early as the sixties of the last century, at that time Rio Tinto was just a small company that did not know about it, relying on the capital injection of the Japanese and the rapid development of the Japanese domestic economy. They swelled up quickly. It can be said that the Japanese atmosphere within Rio Tinto is particularly strong. Don't look at the current many senior executives in this company, they are indigenous Australians, or shareholders of the United Kingdom and Spain, but they have a very close relationship with the Japanese, and you don't think that Rio Tinto only has a Japanese company, Mitsui & Co., through his matchmaking, there are many Japanese chaebol companies. is also involved in this company, such as Nippon Steel, which is a teacher of the same family, as well as Sumitomo Metal Industries, which belongs to the Mitsubishi chaebol, and Itochu Corporation and many other Japanese companies, are shareholders of this company, and it can even be said that many iron mines under the name of Rio Tinto are simply wholly owned by the Japanese, and after the iron ore is mined, it is directly loaded and shipped to Japan. The price is even lower and pitiful. And these Japanese companies will join forces, and their shareholding in Rio Tinto will be frighteningly high. According to the results of our previous investigation, it is possible that they control more than 30 percent, or even nearly 40 percent, of Rio Tinto's shares......"

After listening to Li Annie's introduction, Li Yifan couldn't help but gasp, originally he only knew that there was a Japanese shadow behind this Rio Tinto, but he didn't expect that the Japanese infiltrated Rio Tinto to such a degree, and their control of this company would reach such a deep level.

In this case, according to the nature of the Japanese and the Chinese, if he wants to intervene in Rio Tinto, I am afraid that this task will be very difficult.

For a while, Li Yifan's brows were furrowed, and his eyes kept rolling, obviously thinking about countermeasures, and Li Annie was not good at interrupting his thinking at this time, so she could only look at him, so the room fell into silence.

Li Yifan pondered for nearly an hour, and then he had a rough plan in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw that Li Annie on the other side was already waiting a little impatiently, so he said to Li Annie with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little too involved in thinking about things, I'm really embarrassed. By the way, it's so late, you're all hungry, why don't we go for a supper? ”

Li Annie smiled slightly, and then said to Li Yifan: "That's what I mean." ”

"Hehe, that's good, I heard that this hotel's supper is good, although it is a buffet, but it tastes very haode, let's go and try it."

The two of them came to the cafeteria downstairs, although it was the New Year's Day, but the hotel can all point to this time to make money, so during this time, the hotel's catering service has not fallen at all.

The things in the restaurant were still hot, Li Yifan took himself a few pieces of smoked chicken, a big bowl of soup, and a large portion of fried rice, and then returned to the table and feasted.

Although he had already had dinner in the villa before, it was almost midnight now, and he was already hungry after tossing and turning for most of the night, and his brain power was too great.

And Li Annie doesn't take much food, but it is all very delicate, and she eats it carefully and slowly, which is very aristocratic, but looking at Li Yifan who is gobbling up in front of her, she is smiling and smiling, in her opinion, men should be like this, eat all over the world with a big mouth......

Soon after eating, drinking another cup of tea, smoking a few cigarettes, and adjusting their mood, the two of them returned to the suite to continue their discussion.

"Looking at your calm and relaxed appearance, you should have some ideas, right? What do you think? Would you like to tell me about it first? ”

Li Annie smiled and said to Li Yifan, when he told him the bad news before, this guy's expression was a little angry at the time, but more than an hour has passed, and he is not in a hurry.

There are only two possibilities for him to have such a performance, one is psychological, and he already has a way to deal with it, and the other possibility is that he has given up and coveted those two Australian companies.

But according to Li Annie's understanding of Li Yifan, she feels that this man is definitely the kind that rises to the challenge, and it is impossible for this man to retreat from the battle.

So in this way, his current expression is so relaxed, which can only show that in his heart, there must be a way to deal with it.

"Hehe, you're really right, I do have a few ideas in mind, first of all, let's talk about this acquisition of DSI."

Li Annie immediately pricked up her ears, and Li Yifan lit another cigarette for herself, recently his smoking addiction has been increasing, especially whenever he thinks about something, he always can't help but want to take two puffs.

"Now that these grandsons are so confident, are there other companies that are also in contact with them?"

Li Yifan asked with a smile, Li Annie nodded, and then replied.

"Yes, there is a local Australian machinery manufacturing company called ION who is in contact with them, and I have heard that they are very close."

"Hehe, no wonder, they are so confident."

Li Yifan smiled and exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said to Li Annie.

"Since they don't want to buy it, they just want to sell it to their own people, so it's better for them to go to fertilizer and keep only their own fields, but they don't want to be so proud. Since they don't want to sell it, we can still get it by other means. ”

Li Yifan's smile was very weird, and Li Annie was confused by Li Yifan's words.

"What do you mean, can you still get their company through other means?"

"Haha, Annie, you misunderstood, I ask you, what is the most important thing in the twenty-first century?"

“…… I don't know ......."

"Haha, the most important thing in the 21st century is talent!"

Li Annie is a smart person, and she quickly understood the meaning of Li Yifan's words.

"You mean ......"

"That's right, since they don't want to buy the company, can't we dig into the wall? hahahahahaha! ”

After Li Yifan finished speaking, he couldn't help but start hahadaxiao, it turned out that when he was thinking about the company DSI, he suddenly found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking.

In his last life, because of the acquisition of this DSI by the domestic Geely company, he also made some simple understanding of this DSI company, but his understanding was not particularly in-depth.

When he first wanted to buy this company, he always thought that the company's Jishu reserves were very deep, but later after Li Annie sent him some information from Australia one after another, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

At present, there are three companies on shijie that are famous for making transmissions, one is ZF in Germany, the other is Aisin Seiko in Japan, and the other is DSI in Australia.

But among the three, if you talk about the most famous, of course, Germany's ZF and Japan's Aisin Seiko, Australia's DSI is not even a fart in front of others, so they can only nest in their own country and supply Ford and Chrysler in Australia.

And when they were acquired by Geely in later generations, they could produce six-speed automatic manual transmissions, but that was also to increase the company's selling price, concentrated manpower and material resources, and developed them before the company declared bankruptcy, in order to increase the company's value as much as possible, which was done, but before that, their six-speed automatic manual transmissions could only be matched with those high-horsepower rear-wheel drive cars.

And now the mainstream automatic transmission on Shijie is still concentrated in the 4-speed automatic manual integration, the high-end is the five-speed automatic manual integration, and the six-speed automatic manual transmission still exists in the legend.

At this time, DSI was only able to produce a four-speed automatic manual transmission, and as for the six-speed automatic manual transmission they produced, it would have to wait until nine years later.

So they are not at all as strong as they think! (To be continued......)
