It is rare to come to Nanyang, Situ Nan went to Australia by the way, and any entry can not ignore Australia's resources, Australia is known as a country sitting on a minecart, which shows its abundant resources.

If Situ Nan wants to invest in industrial construction in Nanyang in the future, Australia wants to be the source of raw materials. Iron ore, coal, aluminum, copper, gold, and diamonds are all abundant in Australia, a continent that is adrift at the end of the world.

With the exception of South East Australia, much of Western Australia and Northern Australia is in a near-pristine state, with only a few white farmers grazing and the rest being aboriginal farmers.

For Situ Nan, Australia's abundant resources are like virgins waiting to be cultivated, "raised in the depths of the boudoir." ”

If these resources can be developed, Situ Nan believes that another world mining monopoly giant can be born in his own hands.

In his previous life, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Brazil's Vale, the world's three largest mining companies, were very powerful and monopolized most of the world's minerals.

Situ Nan felt that if he had the opportunity, he might as well try it, maybe he could also make up a deposit that was no less than the three mining giants.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Situ Nan personally went to inspect the Australian market, and his first stop was Sydney. One of the two largest cities in Australia.

"It's a pity that I came early and didn't see the Sydney Opera House." Standing at the bow of the boat, Situ Nan looked at the deep and calm Jackson Bay, and sighed with some regret.

"This is Sydney, it's so beautiful! I love it here, it's like 1 Day Gold Mountain. Laura excited.

Indeed, Sydney has many similarities with 1st Gold Mountain, with excellent port conditions, prosperous commerce and trade, and it is also a financial center.

In fact, the development of Australia is about the same period as California in the United States, and it was in the forties and fifties of the century that the gold rush attracted a large number of immigrants to Australia.

It's just that the British mainland has drawn blood to Australia, so Australia's development level is not as good as that of California, although the development of industry and commerce is good, but there is still a certain distance from Los Angeles, 1st Jinshan and other cities in the United States.

Coming to Sydney, Laura felt comfortable. The architecture is modern, with a bit of Victorian style, but not entirely European, and the city is young and vibrant, very much like a new city in the American West.

During this time, Laura has been with the Huajin world of Nanyang, and she always feels a little awkward, but now that she is in Sydney, Sydney's Qiē makes her feel as if she has returned to the United States.

"Hehe, since you like it here, then let's buy a house here! We can all come and stay in Los Angeles for a while when we have time in the future. Situ Nan smiled, walked to Laura's side, and gently hugged his wife into his arms.

"Wouldn't it be too wasteful? You and I are so busy, how can we have time to come here! Laura tilted her head and thought, she had no intention of buying a property here in Sydney.

"It doesn't matter. If you put it away, you won't lose money, so it's a good investment. Situ Nan smiled, he knew that Sydney's real estate would prosper, and now there would be no profit in investing in real estate. Although the money is endless, but since you have encountered it, don't let it go, maybe you can use it if you can?

Second, Situ Nan brought in a representative from Wells Fargo in Sydney.

James? Cook, the representative of Wells Fargo in Sydney, just turned 26 this year and has been with Wells Fargo for five years after graduating from college. From the most basic clerk, he has a strong learning ability, a flexible mind, and a diploma, and soon shows his financial talents, which are gradually reused.

Wells Fargo has expanded rapidly in recent years, and a group of outstanding talents like Cook have been promoted to become middle managers of the bank.

Half a year ago, Wells Fargo wanted to enter the Australian financial market, and urgently needed a flexible and energetic entrant to open up the market.

When Cook heard the news, he automatically asked for help, took two assistants, and some of the funds to Australia to open the Sydney branch of Wells Fargo alone.

After half a year of hard work, under the management of Cook, the Sydney branch was established. And James? Naturally, Cook became the manager of the Sydney branch.

A few days ago, he received a telegram from the United States, saying that an important item was about to arrive in Sydney, and he asked Cook to make arrangements for his reception.

Since the telegram was sent directly from the headquarters of Wells Fargo Bank on the 1st Jinshan, Cook did not dare to slack off and booked a hotel for Situ Nan early.

"Morning, Mr. William." Cook walked into Situ Nan's room with some excitement, he knew that Situ Nan was an important asset of Wells Fargo, hoping to make a good impression on Situ Nan.

Tunan gestured to his chair and motioned for Cook to sit down.

Cook sat upright in front of Situ Nan, his waist straight, and he looked very energetic. He lowered his head slightly, as if he was waiting for Situ Nan's next words, like a young man who had just graduated from school waiting for the interviewer's question.

Situ Nan smiled slightly and casually asked about the situation of Wells Fargo in Sydney.

"Wells Fargo, although it has a high profile in the United States, here we are. Although the number of banks in Sydney is not as large as that of 1 Day Gold Mountain, the competition is also very fierce. Local banks in the UK and Australia have been operating in Sydney for a long time, and they have a stronger influence than we do, and they have gained local recognition, and we need to do more and work harder to establish ourselves in Sydney. Cook frowned and said with some concern.

Although the Sydney branch has been established, the operation is not ideal, and it is currently in a state of loss. Australians don't trust Wells Fargo very much, preferring to keep their money in local banks with lower interest rates than borrowing from other banks with higher interest rates, and rarely patronize Wells Fargo, and Sydney's local banking industry is also vaguely rejecting Wells Fargo.

"Huh. Take it easy! It's going to get better. Situ Nan encouraged.

"By the way, do you have any good ideas? Or what are you going to do to quickly open the situation? "Situ Nan intends to test Cook, and the next investment of the William Consortium in Australia is not small, and Situ Nan hopes that the Sydney branch of Wells Fargo can take on the heavy responsibility.

"Now that Sydney's trade is growing rapidly and the trade volume with the United States is also rising, I am ready to use our strength at Wells Fargo to operate the trade exchange business between Australia and the United States. At the same time, I am very optimistic about Sydney Harbourland, thinking that it will develop into the city center of Sydney in the future, and the commercial center and financial center will be concentrated near the Bay Area, so the price of land near Sydney Harbour will rise significantly, if we start now? ”

Speaking of this, Cook stopped and glanced at Situ Nan and continued: "There should be a chance to become an instant hit." ”

"Speculation? Do you know each other with a real estate company? Situ Nan asked with a smile. Real estate is a lucrative industry at any given time.

"Huh? Not yet? Cook blushed a little, and then said, "I plan to set up a real estate company controlled by our bank, buy the land directly, speculate the low price high, and then sell the land to other people." ”

Cook's thoughts were secretly in line with Situan's. Situ Nan smiled, "Not a bad idea, it's worth trying." But we are a bank, and we can be behind it, but we must not become a real estate company. ”

As for how to speculate on land, Situ Nan has experience in Fannie Mae's company in Jinshan on the 1st of the United States, and after thinking about it, he planned to transfer some from the United States to Sydney, set up a real estate development company, and cooperate with Cook to speculate on Sydney's real estate.

Although real estate money comes quickly, Wells Fargo needs to have a long-term plan for a foothold in Sydney, and Situ believes that investing in Australian industry is also essential. Didn't his Gold Mountain Mining Company need money to invest in mines in Western Australia?

Thinking of this, Situ Nan smiled slightly, and said, "I know that there is a mining company in the west that needs a loan, maybe you can contact them." ”

"Oh? What company? "Cook is in the mood. It is not bad for a bank to lend to a mining company, and there is a mine mortgage, and there is no fear that the loan will not be recovered.

"Jinshan Mining Company!" South Szeto Road.

"Jinshan Mining Company?" Cook thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any impression, and felt that the Jinshan Mining Company mentioned by Situ Nan was either a new company or a company with little strength, and the list of powerful mining companies in Australia was clearly remembered by Cook, and there was indeed no Jinshan Mining Company.

"With all due respect, Mr. William, I have to personally ascertain the situation of the Jinshan Mining Company before I can consider whether I can cooperate with them." Cook Dao made up his mind that if Jinshan Mining Company did not meet the requirements, he would not lend to Jinshan Mining Company.

Situ Nan raised his eyebrows, and he understood what Cook meant. Perhaps it was Cook's serious attitude that moved Situ Nan, who thought for a while and told Cook the truth: "The shareholder of Jinshan Mining Company is me, as well as other senior executives of the group, Meihua Company, and we are ready to invest in Western Australian Mining." In addition to the construction of mines, it is necessary to build ports and railways connecting ports and mines, and it is conservatively estimated that the initial amount will be as high as tens of millions of dollars. ”

"What? Tens of millions of dollars? Cook stared at Situ Nan with wide eyes, he didn't take Jinshan Mining Company seriously, but he didn't expect that it would have a lot of competition and a close relationship with Wells Fargo.

Cook was surprised that Situ Nan could tell himself such a serious matter, which showed his trust in himself, which made Cook feel a little moved in his heart, and he hated to dedicate himself to Situ Nan. He thought to himself: If you can be in charge of such a big project, hell, do you still need to speculate in real estate?

"Ten million is only a preliminary budget, and it is estimated that the amount of money needed will only be more. However, it will be invested in several phases, and the start-up capital Jinshan Mining Company already has it, and what Wells Fargo has to do is to provide financial support for the later stage of the project. I know that this matter has exceeded your authority, and I just want you to be prepared, and I will report the rest to the headquarters of the bank in the United States. ”

was said by Situ Nan like this, Cook really didn't know what to say, as if Situ Nan had said everything. Listening to Situ Nan's tone, it seems that he is satisfied that the Sydney branch will preside over this matter, which means that it will provide a broad stage for Cook.

Thinking of this, Cook couldn't help but clench his fists, his face flushed, and he looked at Situ Nan with some admiration and excitement.

This is the big deal, and you can decide a business of tens of millions of dollars with your mouth. Cook sighed in his heart, when can he become such a member?

Situ Nan patted Cook on the shoulder and sent the hesitant clerk out.

In the end, Situ Nan did not forget to advise: "Keep doing the real estate business in Sydney, remember to help me keep an eye on the biggest and best house." ”
