Reborn Business Tycoon

Chapter 299: Barbecuing Goddard (16) In order to maintain its energy security, the United States does not hesitate to launch a war, but Yao Yi is just a businessman. Egypt does not have enough coal supply, and Europe is also short of coal resources.

In his previous life, as far as he knew, the places with relatively rich coal resources were currently in an undeveloped and backward state. The coal resources that could be considered at present were the coal resources of Australia and China. However, from inland China such as Jinzhou and Mengzhou,

For large coal-producing states, the transportation cost of transporting coal to the Red Sea is quite high. The only more convenient way is to transport coal resources and iron ore from Western Australia to meet demand.

But now Yao Yi does not have coal mining companies or iron mining companies in Australia. Besides, in countries like Western Europe, their energy structure has changed. The use of oil and natural gas has exceeded coal, and the development of nuclear power plants has further optimized energy.

The structure directly led to the collapse of a large number of coal companies in Australia, and the downturn of iron ore companies.

At this time, Japan's economy has also entered the lost decade stage, and its demand for energy has also dropped significantly. However, China's industry has not yet developed. Domestic energy is sufficient to meet the needs of enterprises, and a large amount of coal is exported to Japan.

, this situation has further hit the sluggish international mining industry.

This situation has a lot to do with the sharp fall in resource stocks and Prince James entering a moment of economic crisis. For Yao Yi, it is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that the price of coal and iron ore is very low. The bad thing is that a large number of mining companies have gone bankrupt. Yao Yi

You have to travel far to buy it, especially Australia's massive coal and iron ore production, which has been greatly reduced. It is not an easy thing to sell, and the cost and price paid are higher.

Yao Yi thought about it alone in the room for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind. There were too many variable factors.

In addition, Yao Yi knew very well that three years later, the United States would start a US-Iran war for oil. Only then, the price of oil would rise rapidly, and coal would be re-recognized and re-used.

Mineral-like resources are also heating up rapidly. Especially with the development of China's urbanization and the acceleration of industrialization, the demand for various resources continues to rise. Resource stocks in the international market began to grow wildly, reaching their peak in 2008.

, However, there was a small trough in 1997, but China's economic growth was still strong, so it did not have much impact.

Yao Yi is very clear about this. What he wants to do now is to quickly control several large coal companies and mining companies. Among them, Australia's BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are the most well-known and have a variety of mineral resources. However, if he wants to

It is not an easy task to pass the Australian Investment Review Board to achieve control, and special people are needed to help. Otherwise, it will just be hopeless. Brazilian Vale is a company mainly engaged in iron ore.

They are unwilling to be controlled. As for a Canadian mining company, relying on the large market of the United States, it is even less likely to be acquired. Some of the remaining mining companies have either closed down or have stopped production or semi-stopped production, and are in a state of half-death.

What Yao Yi needs most now is to find a coal company and an iron ore company that can resume production immediately and are close to or own a port. However, the most difficult difficulty is that Australia's Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton occupy all the

With ready-made ports and dedicated coal and railway lines, it was impossible for Yao Yi to avoid them.

Although Yao Yi's investment company holds a large number of stocks in these two companies, it cannot account for the majority and become the largest shareholder. After all, these two companies are too big and have various holdings all over the world.

The mineral resources are of huge scale, each with assets of around 100 billion, making them a behemoth. Although their stock prices have plummeted, their shareholders are still holding on. They believe that as long as they can get through this,

After a while, spring will come soon.

Among these many shareholders, some heavyweight shareholders can no longer bear it, and Prince James is one of them.

Yao Yi was calculating while waiting for news from all aspects.

Now, all Yao Yi can do is wait. If there is a result, there will be a result. If there is no result, forcing will not work. After all, this is not a matter of forcing.

Two days later, the King of Switzerland was the first to bring good news to Yao Yi. In fact, Godeward had already brought this news, and the only thing left was the matter of the military factory. Capturing Godeward would solve this problem.

Question, so when Yao Yi got the news, he didn't feel much surprise. Everything seemed to fall into place.

After several days of treatment, Princess Angela had basically recovered. At this time, the urgent telegram sent by Yao Yi and the Chinese medicine had been sent to the King of Switzerland. This time, Yao Yi gave Princess Angela the last injection.

When the needle was inserted, the Swiss King not only expressed his gratitude, but also revealed the good news to Yao Yi.

Although Yao Yi was not surprised, he still showed excitement. His purpose was to make the old king happy.

The old king was very helpful. The technology of these companies was almost given to Yao Yi for free, and he only held 10% of the shares in the newly established company. These requirements were not high for Yao Yi, so Yao Yi naturally accepted them happily.

, the arsenal was a gift from the old king, and he did not ask for shares like Yao Yi. It is estimated that Godhua had already greeted his old father, so the old king directly handed over the affairs of the arsenal to Godhua.

Help Yao Yi handle the rest, and arrange for someone to take charge of the rest.

With sufficient funds, the construction of the new factory will proceed very quickly, and the affairs in Egypt will naturally be coordinated by Hamed, the general manager of the Cairo branch of Credit Suisse, who is also Guo Changxing.

Recommend to Yao Yi to be the special administrator of this 100 square meter territory.

Things were quickly arranged. As for the specific planning, Hamed could arrange it himself, while Yao Yi only made the final decision. Yao Yi naturally did not have more energy to take care of other trivial matters.

Hammoud is of course very happy to accept such an appointment. In the future, he will rise to the top in one step, from an ordinary professional manager to the political world, and this is a place with large-scale investment. How could he not be happy?

It was at this time that the old Swiss king asked: "Duke Yao, would it be more appropriate for this investiture ceremony to be held at your Lake Geneva manor? It is also relatively close to the Phoenix Winery. When the time comes, the Pope will come to the Phoenix Winery in person.

, see the unveiling and ribbon-cutting ceremony of Phoenix Winery.”

The old king's words are full of mysteries. Can Yao Yi refuse?
