reborn industrial empire

On January 10th, the northern hemisphere is still in the season of cold winds and heavy snowfall, while Australia, located in the southern hemisphere, is in the hottest summer season of the year.

As soon as I landed at Sydney Airport and walked out of the terminal hall and escaped the care of the air-conditioner, I felt a heat wave hitting my face.

Jin Xiaoqiang and his party included Jin Guozhu and Li Shulan's family of three. They were also accompanied by a negotiation team composed of professionals from Hong Kong.

Last time Feng Kuang told Jin Xiaoqiang that his uncle wanted to raise funds and find new shareholders. After Jin Xiaoqiang expressed his intention to join, he sent a professional evaluation team to the mining area in Western Australia.

Went for evaluation.

In fact, Jin Xiaoqiang started building his own management team a long time ago when he found a specialized accounting team in Hong Kong.

Considering that he may participate in many international-level mergers and acquisitions and negotiations in the future, Jin Xiaoqiang also specifically asked Alice to be responsible for setting up a third-party evaluation team, negotiation, and accounting team in Hong Kong.

This is the prototype of a firm. The four internationally famous firms are indeed famous and can help you solve many problems.

But fundamentally, Jin Xiaoqiang still doesn't trust these firms. After all, these firms are inextricably linked to some of the big chaebols in the United States and Europe.

In the future, if it involves negotiating or cooperating with some other large multinational companies and collecting data through these firms, Jin Xiaoqiang will be a little worried.

After all, they are all in the same group. Although they appear to be independent on the surface, in fact, they are all inextricably linked behind the scenes. If they provide themselves with false information or leak their business

If you keep it confidential, your losses will be huge.

Many people would think that such a thing is impossible. In fact, few of these offices are clean.

There have been so many scandals on Wall Street in later generations, and many fraud cases were based on inside information, but how many of them were leaked from these firms?

Everyone knows this well, so when your company is not large enough, you can still collect data through these companies. However, once your company is large enough, you must not trust these companies anymore.

It’s time to form your own team.

The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang set the working location of this team in Hong Kong is a bit covert. After all, the big boss behind this investigation agency is himself, but this investigation company cannot be named under the name of Huayang Dynamics.

And it’s best to be as low-key as possible.

After all, there are still more countries in the world that have an unfriendly attitude toward China and the companies that come to China. If you want to acquire certain companies or cooperate with certain companies in the future, you will have to wait and see.

If you say that you will send your own team to investigate, the other party will most likely provide you with false data. If you say that you will send a secret third-party investigation team from Hong Kong before the negotiation, then your opponent will,

They may be confused by this vest, and they don't know who will be their opponent. This will be the most beneficial to Huayang Power's future actions.

So as early as after the Frankfurt Auto Show, Jin Xiaoqiang asked Alice to take charge of this matter. While Alice was acquiring Google stocks in the United States, she was also running this matter, recruiting a lot of talents from the United States, and these people

Little did they know that their big boss behind the scenes was Huayang Dynamics from Lai Tianchao.

Although this team has not been established for a long time, the work efficiency is not low. After all, there are several experienced people in it that Alice specially poached from the United States, and there are also many young people who have just entered the workplace and dare to work hard, so

This company is still very energetic.

As soon as it was established this time, the boss sent it to Australia to perform a mission. Although Talison was not a very famous large company, they still carried out the mission very seriously.

During this period of more than a month, they conducted overt and covert visits, and then contacted Talison's senior personnel in various ways, and finally found out the truth about Talison Company.

Jin Xiaoqiang and Jin Guozhu have read and analyzed the reports on Talisen's internal operations and financial status many times.

The current operating conditions of Talisen Company can be said to be pretty good, but this is still under the current situation where the main business is tantalum. Recently, the United States has been in full swing in Iraq, although the Iraqi army can be said to be completely vulnerable to the US military.

?, but how could the major arms dealers miss such a good opportunity?

As long as they can establish a relationship with the government, they are desperately buying weapons from the army. Therefore, the demand for tantalum in the United States has been very high recently. After all, tantalum capacitors made of this metal are an indispensable component in missiles.

device.

As for lithium mines, there has not been much improvement. Although the concept of lithium batteries has been highly hyped in recent times, after all, lithium batteries have not yet become popular on a large scale, and even lithium batteries for mobile phones have not been widely used.

It has not been used on a large scale yet, so there is not much demand for lithium in the market.

Talisen's board of directors has seven members, among which the conservative group is headed by Sir Jonathan. This Jonathan is a British aristocrat who immigrated to Australia very early. His family has a history in Australia of more than a hundred years.

The old guy's family can be said to have a certain degree of influence in Australia. Talison was actually their early family business. Later, after various financing expansions, the board of directors expanded to seven members.

Now there are three old guys who have similar opinions to Jonathan. They mean that the company's main focus in the future is still on the operation of tantalum mines, and their share of the company's equity can reach almost 65%.

The other group of people was led by Feng Kuang's uncle Jeffrey. Jeffrey's family used to be a big landowner in Western Australia, and their family was originally a big landowner in the Greenbushes area.

Later, Jonathan's Talisson Company discovered a large amount of tantalum ore on Jeffrey's family's land, and Jeffrey's family used the land as capital to invest in Talison Company.

But that was the business done by Jeffrey's father. Jeffrey later went to the United States to study. While studying in the United States, he happened to meet Feng Kuang's aunt. The two fell in love and got married. Later, they returned to Australia and took over the business.

His father left him shares in Talisson Company and became a senior manager of the company.

Jeffrey had been exposed to the latest education in the United States and was very receptive to new things. He was more interested in the concept of lithium batteries when it first emerged. Later, after in-depth research, he felt that lithium batteries were

There was a lot of potential in this area, so we proposed to the board of directors that the company should divert some of its resources and energy to develop lithium mines, but this was rejected by a group of old-school people headed by Jonathan.

There were two other young people in the company who also inherited the legacy of their fathers and joined the company's board of directors. They were also optimistic about lithium resources, so they sided with Jeffrey, and today Talisen Company was born.

The situation calls for separation!

Jeffrey is the company's major shareholder. He owns 20% of Talison's shares. Together with the other three small shareholders, they own about 40% of Talison.

The company's shares are still not as large as Jonathan's shares.

So when they split up the company and divided the mining areas, Jonathan and the others deliberately withheld the mining areas with the richest lithium resources and the best quality, and let Jeffrey and the others exchange their 200 million Australian dollars.

Thus, Jin Xiaoqiang’s family’s trip to Australia began.

However, when they came to Australia, they did not go directly to Western Australia. Instead, they went to Eastern Australia first. Eastern Australia is home to some of the largest and best big cities in Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and almost all the highlights of Australia.

All gathered here.

In his previous life, Jin Xiaoqiang had no ability. His parents didn't even have the luxury of traveling abroad, let alone spending their old age in secret. In this life, he has the ability, and his father and mother are not short of money. He is even more capable.

I don’t want parents to miss the opportunity to enjoy it.

So after the family got off the plane, the father and son did not rush to negotiate with Talison, but first started to travel and have fun in Eastern Australia.

Of course, Feng Kuang was with him the whole time. After all, he was the one who found the person, so of course he had to do a good job of reception.

The Great Barrier Reef, Fenser Island, Hamilton Island, Sydney Seaview, Opera House, Harbor Bridge, Gold Coast, etc., Australia's famous attractions, Feng Guang took Jin Xiaoqiang and the others around.

Of course, due to time constraints, I just took a quick tour of some places, but even so, it took almost more than a week to complete this tour.

During this period, Feng Kuang also took Jin Xiaoqiang and others to visit his company in Australia. This company is the only designated agent company of Huayang Power in Australia.

Feng Kuang is also very scheming. While buying the agency rights all over Australia, he will certainly not miss the opportunity to open his own flagship store in big cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra.

In Eastern Australia, a prime area of ​​Australia, Feng Kuang can be said to have occupied all the good places. He has opened a flagship store in the main areas of these cities.

And this time Jin Xiaoqiang came over, of course he had to take Jin Xiaoqiang to visit. This trip allowed Jin Xiaoqiang to truly understand the popularity of Huayang Dynamics' products in Australia.

In Australia, their Eado is priced at 30,000 Australian dollars with low configuration. The price can be said to be not cheap, but this does not stop people from liking this car.

You must know that the price is not cheap when compared with Mitsubishi's evo and Subaru's impreza, but car fans are not deterred from this car because of the price.

After all, compared to the purely racing Sanliang Evo and Subaru's Impreza, this car has a more outstanding appearance, and it is also more popular among middle-aged consumers with financial means.

After all, evo and impreza are generally favored by teenagers abroad, and middle-aged people generally also like this kind of racing. However, if they are driven out, they may be said to be unstable, so many people are afraid to buy them.

But the Yidong of Huayang Dynamics is different. Its appearance can be said to be suitable for many consumers of all ages.

During these few days traveling around major cities in Australia, Jin Xiaoqiang saw a lot of their Eados on the road, as well as several models such as Escape and Octavia.

Although it has just been launched in Australia, it seems that the sales momentum is very strong.

After finally having fun in several big cities, Feng Kuang's uncle could no longer sit still. With the hope of the other two board members, he flew from Perth to Sydney to meet with Jin Xiaoqiang and his son.

Although Feng Kuang's uncle looks like a tall and pure foreign devil, he can speak Chinese quite well because he has been married to Feng Kuang's aunt for more than 20 years, and he can speak Chinese every year when he has time.

Having traveled to China several times, it can be said that Jeffrey is a China expert.

Under Feng Kuang's arrangement, the group held negotiations in a private room of the Marriott Hotel in Sydney's Circular Quay where Jin Xiaoqiang and the others were staying.

This time Jeffrey also brought a few assistants over, as well as a lot of information about their company. After giving the information they prepared to Jin Xiaoqiang and his son and their team for review, the two parties began to get into the details of the negotiation.

"Mr. Jeffrey, according to what you said, the price proposed by the other party is 200 million Australian dollars. So we want to know, how much money do you have left before you can win those mining areas?"

Since everyone is sincere, there is no need to beat around the bush. After Jin Xiaoqiang took a detailed look at Jeffrey's statistical report, he asked Jeffrey.

"Well...we...we can't get a penny out..."

Jeffrey's face looked a little embarrassed, and he murmured for a long time before he could say such a sentence.

"What? You...you..."

Jin Xiaoqiang is really surprised. These three directors are also the major shareholders of Talison. Talison's recent operating conditions can be said to be very good. How come they have no money?

"Last year, Jonathan said that the company's operating conditions were good, so the profits that year were used to expand production, so in addition to the wages we received from the company, we did not receive dividends from the company."

Although Jeffrey felt embarrassed, he still told the truth.

"What? Then what is your equity in the company now..."

Jin Xiaoqiang asked again, which made people feel very confused. Although his investigation team conducted a very careful investigation and he knew about this matter, he still didn't know the specific ins and outs.
