reborn industrial empire

"Hey! The company used to be doing well, but recently it is being divided." Feng Kuang frowned and said to Jin Xiaoqiang. His uncle happened to be one of the major shareholders of the company.

The issue of the concept was very controversial, so his uncle also asked him to see if there were any suitable business partners and see if he could introduce them to invest in this company.

Jin Xiaoqiang had learned before that Talisen originally specialized in tantalum, which is also a rare metal and has a wide range of uses in electronics, electrical, and military industries.

The most important use is to make tantalum capacitors, which are then used on various control circuit boards. In missiles, this metal is also very useful.

The U.S. Department of Defense is one of the largest consumers of this metal.

Originally, Talisen was only engaged in tantalum business. Later, when developing tantalum mines, it discovered the associated minerals lithium, as well as other associated minerals such as niobium. However, at that time, the company did not pay special attention to lithium and only used metallic lithium.

Sell ​​it to some glass manufacturers and let them use it to make colored glass.

However, since the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, during this period, the global scientific community has proposed a research boom in lithium batteries. As a result, some people in the company believe that the future of metallic lithium is promising, and the company

Resources and policies should be allocated to this aspect.

But other people don't think so. The tantalum business used to do well every year and made a lot of profits, but now why are policies and resources tilted towards this so-called lithium metal?

Moreover, it is only 2004, and the research and development of lithium batteries is not yet very mature, and lithium batteries are still very unstable and prone to explosion. Therefore, these people are not very optimistic about the prospects of lithium batteries. They think that lithium batteries

The idea of ​​batteries is actually just a flash in the pan like other scientific fantasies.

So these two groups of people quarreled fiercely over this, and many of them even went so far as to separate their families.

The history of the two companies in the previous life was also that the two companies finally had a quarrel until they were separated. Later, they were divided into two Talisens, one specializing in tantalum and the other specializing in lithium.

However, Talisen, which was branched off to specialize in lithium, did not have a particularly easy time in the beginning. Although they obtained the company's original lithium mining area, in terms of funds, the other company did not have a lot of money.

So at the beginning, it can be said that it was difficult. Later, especially after 2000, due to the maturity of lithium battery technology and its inclusion in various mobile phones, Talisen, which specializes in lithium, has enjoyed a better life.

Getting better.

And later, with the proliferation of smart phones with large touch screens, major mobile phone companies have greater supply and demand for lithium batteries. And with the rise of hybrid battery cars, this company's life is getting better and better.

stand up.

It even had the meaning of a rising star in Australia, and it grew bigger and bigger. It was not until 2011 that I took a step ahead and cooperated with this company and became one of its major shareholders.

When Jin Xiaoqiang saw this news, he was extremely sad. Why don't these Chinese companies remember it? Thinking about the losses they suffered from Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, do they still want to do this again?

Are you eating it again on Sen?

Although our country is also known as a country with large reserves of lithium metal, you don’t have to look at where those lithium mines are located. It’s either the Qinghai Plateau or the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the difficulty of developing them is more difficult than the last.

In the end, even if the cost of mining is calculated, it would be better to import it from abroad. In 2010, Talisen Company had become China's largest overseas lithium ore supplier.

However, since the government looks down on others and does not want to cooperate with them, then I cannot miss this opportunity. Now is the time when Talison Company needs funds the most, and it is also the best time for me to take action.

"Oh? A separation? What's going on?"

Although Jin Xiaoqiang had long known the reason for the split of this company, he could not show it in front of Feng Kuang. After all, his understanding of this company came entirely from his own memory in his previous life.

Feng Kuang took a deep breath, and then told Jin Xiaoqiang exactly what happened in Talisen's family separation.

"Oh! So that's it? Then what do your uncle and the others mean? Which side are they on?"

"Haha, it turns out that Talisson is an old resource company in Australia, but its business is not big, that is, it specializes in tantalum. The board members are all old immigrants who have come to Australia a long time ago, because the company's business is not big.

is big, so there are only a few in the board of directors.

There are only seven people. Now they are divided into two groups. One group wants to continue to develop hairpins, and the other group wants to develop lithium. My uncle is a trendy person and has a strong ability to accept new things. He is also very optimistic about the future applications of lithium batteries.

and development, so he is on the side of the lithium mine."

Feng Kuang smiled bitterly and said to Jin Xiaoqiang.

"So what's the biggest problem he's facing now?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked again about Feng's arrival.

"Hi! It's not a problem with the mining area. Originally, the two families had already negotiated and said they wanted to separate. But after all, the mining areas in the past were all intertwined with each other. There were several large-scale lithium mining areas, and the branches were in those lithium mining areas.

Around here, people there are asking for money from my uncle and the others to buy it back."

Feng Kuang frowned and said to Jin Xiaoqiang that if he hadn't spent all his money on the matter of representing the Huayang Power brand and entering the Australian market, he would definitely help his uncle with all his money.

Of the seven people, four insist on the previous line and three insist on engaging in lithium. Now it seems that the old group has a lot of lithium mining areas in their hands and wants money from the new group. It seems that the new group of people

The funds are not sufficient.

"What do your uncle and the others plan to do now? Financing? How much capital are needed?"

Jin Xiaoqiang suddenly thought of his father. He was currently mining in Xigangzi. He heard that the swelling was so severe that he didn't even come back on the 11th. The business seemed to be doing very well.

Then why don't you ask your father to come over and get involved and let him set up a large-scale mining resource conglomerate?

My main business here is machinery, and then I let my father do the mining resources. Isn't this a perfect combination of two swords?

"Those old guys are asking for a high price, and they have several very good lithium mining areas in the Greenbushes mining area. They are asking for A$200 million to take over all these mining areas."

Feng Kuang knew that Jin Xiaoqiang was interested in this lithium mining area, so he told Jin Xiaoqiang about it.

Two hundred million Australian dollars? According to the current exchange rate, it is only more than one billion yuan. According to the current market price of lithium ore, it can be said that this asking price is very high.

It's only 2004, and this is not an era when lithium batteries are very popular. The mainstream batteries for mobile phones today are still lithium-hydrogen batteries, let alone the batteries used in hybrid cars.

The current research and development of lithium batteries is still in its infancy and has not been widely popularized like in later generations. Moreover, these lithium batteries are not very stable due to high temperatures or other environmental influences.

It is easy to explode, so lithium batteries are just a new concept these days and have not been widely promoted.

At present, the main use of lithium is in the manufacture of colored special glasses.

But now those old guys are directly asking for 200 million Australian dollars. Jin Xiaoqiang is not familiar with the current price of lithium ore powder, so he doesn't know whether it is expensive or cheap.

However, compared with later generations when lithium batteries were widely promoted, and as the research and development of lithium batteries became more and more in-depth, and the application range of lithium batteries became more and more extensive, the A$200 million, in Jin Xiaoqiang's eyes, was simply

The price of a big cabbage.

It's suitable, very suitable. We must win this company as soon as possible.

"Twenty million Australian dollars? This is not a small amount. If I help your uncle and the others win these mining areas, how many shares of the new company will your uncle and the others plan to give up?"

Jin Xiaoqiang pretended to be embarrassed and said to Feng Kuang. Unexpectedly, after Feng Kuang stopped, his face became happy.

At present, his uncle and the others do not dare to find other people to invest randomly. After all, before the prospect of lithium batteries is unclear, not many people are interested in this lithium mine.

There are some other resource companies that are interested in this lithium mine, but his uncle and the others have to treat them carefully. After all, compared with those companies, the scale of the current Talisen Lithium Mine Company is too small. If

If those big-name funds are allowed to come in, someone might just open their mouth and swallow up their company.

Therefore, it is only appropriate to find some companies of suitable scale and very optimistic about the prospects of lithium mines to raise funds, and the current Jin Xiaoqiang is very suitable for this condition.

"Is this? I have to go back and discuss it with them. After all, he didn't tell me in detail, but I believe that after I go back and talk to them, there will be a result soon. Xiaoqiang, you can also take people there by then.

Let’s do some inspection and then you can discuss it in detail. What do you think?”

Feng Kuangyang didn't spit directly. After all, he was not an employee of Talison. He was just helping his uncle to connect with Jin Xiaoqiang.

"Well, it works. Let's wait until around the Spring Festival. I will discuss it with my dad then. We may go to Australia to see it together. Anyway, it only takes two months, so everyone should prepare.

"

"Well, I think I'll let my uncle and the others hold it off first. Anyway, it's Christmas and New Year's Day soon, so they have to take the holidays."

What Jin Xiaoqiang was thinking about at this time was how to support his father to become a mining resources tycoon and establish a global mining resources company.!
