Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Not long after Zhang Hao returned to the auditorium, the annual meeting of entrepreneurs officially started.

Amidst a burst of warm applause, a group of high-level officials from the Federation made their grand appearance. It may be due to the tight schedule, and many traditional links were omitted from the meeting.

In short, everything should be kept simple.

At the beginning of the meeting, the host first gave a few opening remarks, and then the highlight of the day, Consul Ji took the speech script and stood directly on the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends:

It is a great pleasure to attend this annual meeting of entrepreneurs.

First of all, on behalf of the Federation, I would like to extend my most sincere welcome to all the distinguished guests! "

"Papa..." Applause resounded in the auditorium.

"The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in 5000 years, with various challenges emerging one after another, economic recovery is struggling, and the development of the Federation has suffered serious setbacks.

Where is the Federation going?

Peace or War?Development or decline?

Cooperation or confrontation?Unity or division?
These are the questions of the times before us, and they are also urgent tasks.

The long river of history is sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent, but it always rushes forward..."

While listening to the speech, Zhang Hao whispered to his two sisters. Anyway, he has no plans to invest in Australia, and he can leave after the meeting.

"Brother, what did Uncle Li ask you for?"

Zhang Jiaqi asked in a low voice.

"It's not Governor Li, it's Mayor Chen looking for me." Zhang Hao corrected.

"Okay, what is Mayor Chen looking for from you?"

Zhang Hao didn't think it was troublesome, and patiently explained the matter briefly.

Zhang Jiayi was a little moved when she heard this: "Xiaohao, since you took the lead in this matter, can we also..."

"Second Sister, the energy industry is the darling of the higher-ups. It won't let private individuals get involved at all. Let's not have illusions." Zhang Hao interrupted directly.

"Don't scare me." Zhang Jiayi frowned, "I just heard someone say that the higher authorities are going to fully open up the Australian region, whether it's coal mines or iron mines, unlimited investment can be made."

"Who did you listen to?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Wang Chuanxi."

"Wang Chuanxi?" Zhang Hao couldn't help being taken aback: "Didn't he retire? Why didn't he go back to New Zealand?"

"BYD is in the limelight now, why go back to New Zealand? Wouldn't it be nice to stay?"

"It's not the only reason, is it?" Zhang Hao shook his head, and then explained: "Although Wang Chuanxi likes to act arbitrarily, he is not the kind of person who loves power."

Zhang Jiayi smiled knowingly: "I also heard from other people that there seems to be a serious internal struggle on BYD's side. At present, only Wang Chuanxi can suppress it."

"Li Shufu and Sterling?"

"Well, it's the two of them."

Zhang Hao immediately became interested: "Who has the upper hand?"

"It's Li Shufu. Isn't it rumored that there will be a war recently? BYD has received a large order from the military for military vehicles, and most military vehicles are fuel vehicles. Li Shufu wants to take this opportunity to transform, but Sterling firmly opposes it."

"A route dispute?"

"Yes, Li Shufu believes that in the current environment, fuel vehicles have more advantages."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help complaining: "Isn't this reversing the history? How many years have gas vehicles been eliminated? Is there still a need to pick them up?"

"You can't say that. Don't forget, the military has expanded its military by 400 million at one time. How many military vehicles will it need? Only relying on orders from the military, BYD can support itself.

Besides, what Mr. Li said is not completely unreasonable. Even a huge city like Huicheng will have power outages every three days, let alone other central cities. In comparison, fuel vehicles are undoubtedly more practical. "

Zhang Jiayi analyzed carefully.

Zhang Jiaqi nodded quickly, and echoed: "I think the second sister's point of view is correct. Although the price of electricity is cheaper than that of gasoline, fuel vehicles are indeed more practical. Otherwise, if the power fails for a long time, it will be troublesome."

"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Zhang Hao shook his head slightly.

According to the current strength of the Minde era, even if BYD shows its flaws, the possibility of acquiring the other party is almost zero. Moreover, the risk of war is increasing day by day.

Zhang Jiayi didn't continue to argue: "Okay, let's get back to business. Even if you are right, the oil wells really can't get involved. What about the coal mines in Australia? They are strongly supported by the top? There are no restrictions."

"I don't want to invest in coal mines either."

"The reason?"

"I don't want to earn bloody money."

Zhang Hao said confidently.

Zhang Jiayi rolled her eyes on the spot: "Are you lying? So many crew members died in Southeast Fishery, and I haven't seen you shed a single tear."

"Cough, Southeast Fishery can't help it..."

"You don't need to explain to me, you don't want to make money yourself, no one can force you."

Zhang Jiayi said unhappily.

After finishing speaking, she turned her attention back to Consul Ji's speech, and didn't want to listen to the younger brother's nonsense anymore.

Zhang Jiaqi was immediately curious: "Brother, what are you thinking? Who thinks there is too much money?"

"Third Sister, Dad once told me a truth. There has never been a business that can make a profit without losing money. The more profitable the business, the greater the risk."

Zhang Hao casually found an excuse.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the higher-ups still want to kill the donkey?" Zhang Jiaqi said in astonishment.

"Don't ask me, I don't know, I just have a vague feeling that it's not simple."

Zhang Jiaqi curled her lips: "I pretend to be deep with me, and I don't know which of your words is true."

"Believe it or not."

……

Consul Ji's speech lasted more than two hours, because it was the annual meeting of entrepreneurs, and the topic of the speech revolved around how to restore the economy. The other party was well prepared and threw out more than a dozen specific measures in a row.

But the key point is to help Australia attract investment.

After the presentation, it was time for lunch.

The moderator announced a two-hour adjournment.

Before Zhang Hao walked out of the auditorium, he was dragged away by Governor Li. The local business leaders in Huicheng planned to use their lunch break to plan the coal mine business in Australia.

"Governor Li, didn't I tell you that I wouldn't invest in Australia, why did you drag me?"

"If you don't go or go back, can't you express your opinion?" Governor Li said disapprovingly.

"To be honest, I know almost nothing about the coal industry, so what can I say?"

Zhang Hao smiled wryly and shook his head.

Governor Li immediately persuaded him with kind words: "Your title of fortune teller is not for nothing. Everyone wants to hear your opinion, so just do me a favor, okay?"

"Then let me declare first that I am not responsible for anything I have said."

Zhang Hao received a vaccination in advance.

"All right, you don't need to be responsible, I will take care of things for you, you don't have to worry about anything, just speak freely." Governor Li promised quickly.

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and asked casually, "Who's waiting?"

"There are not many people, there are only seven people, namely Mr. Ma from Penguin, Mr. Xu from Pengrui Group, Mr. He from Meiの, Mr. Yao from Oupai Home, Mr. Wang from Zhengwei Group, Mr. Li from Dajiang Heji, And Mr. Zheng from Zheng Dafu."

"Why are there no BYD's Mr. Wang, Mr. Li and Sterling?" Zhang Hao asked doubtfully.

"They are just like you, they are focused on their careers, and they are not interested in Australia."

Governor Li replied.

Zhang Hao was immediately in awe: "With such a huge benefit in front of them, they can resist the temptation. It's really rare. I admire it."

"You! Are you praising them or yourself?" Governor Li cursed with a smile.

"Hey, there are!"

Zhang Hao said without shame.

Soon, the two came to a small private room in the restaurant. After introducing each other, everyone began to chat while eating.

Mr. Wang of Zhengwei Group was the first to speak: "Mr. Zhang, I have a rare opportunity today. I would like to ask, what do you think of the future prospects of the Australian region?"

Zhengwei Group itself has a copper mine business and has rich operating experience. Mr. Wang himself has the title of "Federal Copper King" and is the most motivated among all the people on site.

"Don't dare to ask for advice, everyone learns from each other." Zhang Hao paused, and then expressed his opinion: "Australia is rich in resources and sparsely populated. Generally speaking, it is quite good, and it is completely worth investing in."

"How about the coal industry? Is there any investment value?" Mr. Wang immediately asked.

"It goes without saying that the future of the energy industry is the most important thing. It can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity."

Zhang Hao didn't give a shit.

"Great!" Mr. Wang patted the table excitedly, "Since Mr. Zhang is also optimistic, why don't the rest of us unite and go to Australia to develop mines together?"

"Feel sorry……"

Mr. Wang interrupted directly: "Mr. Zhang, listen to me. After all, the Australian region is unfamiliar to us. Only by cooperation can we jointly resist risks, and maybe we can win the largest mining area."

It can be seen that Zhengwei Group has great ambitions.

"Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. I don't want to do it alone, but I don't want to invest at all. Governor Li can testify for me on this point."

Zhang Hao is open and honest.

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

Governor Li nodded and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, Mr. Zhang is not lying. He really has no plan in this regard."

"Mr. Zhang, if it's convenient, can I ask the specific reason?" Mr. Wang couldn't wait to ask, "Is there something hidden in it?"

"There is no secret, it is entirely my personal reasons."

Mr. Li of Dajiang Hutchison, before Zhang Hao's rise, was known as "the most powerful second generation". He has always been very cautious.

"Mr. Zhang, if we have something to say, we might as well speak it out. Your coming out like this is really confusing."

Zhang Hao put down his chopsticks, and said earnestly: "You are all seniors in the business world, with far more experience than me. I think everyone has already made up their minds about whether the Australian region is worth investing in.

The reason why I hesitate to make a decision is just to seek peace of mind. I am really optimistic about the Australian region, but I have limited energy and don't want to add more burdens to myself. "

"Mr. Zhang, if you find it troublesome, you just need to pay for it. We will do everything else for you. All the people here are respectable people. We must not waste your money."

Mr. Penguin couldn't help but interjected.

They Penguin was originally an Internet giant, but now facing a severe situation, they have to diversify their investments. The Internet is too fragile, so they must enter the industry.

Zhang Hao spread his hands: "To tell you the truth, I really have no money. The money I invested in Minde Times before was borrowed from my hometown."

"How about this!" Zheng Dafu's Mr. Zheng said, "We can also lend you a sum of money, Mr. Zhang, you don't have to pay back a dime, just deduct it from the annual dividends slowly."

"Why is this?" Zhang Hao couldn't laugh or cry.

It is true that the richer you are, the less money you have.

"Zhang Dong, just like what you said just now, we just want to have peace of mind, and please agree to it."

Mr. Zheng said earnestly.

Facing the money delivered to his door, Zhang Hao had no reason to refuse: "Okay, each of you lend me 1000 million, just make a simple statement."

"Is 1000 million enough? We Penguins are willing to pay one billion." Mr. Ma said boldly.

In the past two years, due to the sudden drop in temperature and the high unemployment rate, most people have directly become otaku.

Under such circumstances, their company's game business has completely ushered in a big explosion, and the monthly turnover has directly exceeded the 300 billion mark, which is more than three times that of the previous one.

Right now, their company is really not short of money.

President Zheng followed closely behind: "How about this, we, Zheng Dafu, will also contribute one billion."

Zheng Dafu is the largest jewelry company in the country. In the past two years, due to the skyrocketing price of gold, he has made a lot of money. Now he is "poor" and only has money left.

"We are the same, and we also pay one billion."

The third person to speak was President Wang of Zhengwei Group.

In fact, their company's cash flow is not abundant, and it can even be said that they are a little nervous, but in order not to be underestimated, they can only slap their swollen face to pretend to be fat.

Next, the other four companies also opened their mouths one after another, each with one billion yuan, and the total is 70 billion yuan, accounting for about [-]% of the total investment.

In other words, the total investment is as high as more than 2300 billion.

On average, each invested 250 billion.

Among them, the Guangdong government is also included. They provided a piece of industrial land, accounting for 5.00% of the shares.

Seeing that the major event has been decided, Governor Li smiled happier than anyone else: "Mr. Zhang, there are many coal mines in Australia. Which one do you think we should buy?"

Zhang Hao took out his mobile phone to check the specific data, and suddenly had an idea, and spit out five words:

"Tasmania."

"You mean Tasmania?"

"That's right." Zhang Hao nodded: "Currently, there is only one coal mine on Tasmania, and that is the Avingal Valley Coal Mine. Due to environmental protection issues, the development level was very low, and the potential is huge."

"Why not choose the Carmichael coal mine? It is the largest coal mine in Australia, with a total reserve of 270 billion tons. More importantly, this coal mine was just put into production two years ago, and the mining area has basically not been moved."

Mr. Wang of Zhengwei Group expressed his puzzlement.

Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hands: "Although the Carmichael Coal Mine is good, the goal is too big, and the competition is bound to be fierce. There are many state-owned coal giants among them. I didn't pour cold water on it. Do you think there is hope?"

In addition, there is one more thing I have to say.

In the dream, a super coal mine with a reserve of 500 billion tons was newly discovered on Tasmania, which is almost twice the reserve of the Carmichael mine, which instantly caused a sensation in the entire Federation.

"There's no harm in trying, what if it succeeds?" Mr. Wang was full of reluctance, "And as far as I know, the coal mine in Tasmania has not high reserves, only about one billion Tons may seem like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the Carmichael Coal Mine."

"Mr. Wang, in my opinion, instead of smashing the Carmichael coal mine, we should try our best to win the coal mining rights in Tasmania. There may be surprises in such a big place."

Zhang Hao tried his best to persuade him.

Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, he turned his head to look at Governor Li: "Leader, what do you think?"

"The two ideas have their own advantages and disadvantages. If I had to vote, I would vote for Tasmania. It's not that the Carmichael coal mine is bad, but that it is too difficult and the success rate is very small.

A coal mine the size of the Carmichael coal mine, the people above are not idiots, it is impossible to give it up, even if they are willing to let go, we still have to compete with other states, it is not that easy anyway.

The most important thing is that I am willing to believe in Zhang Dong's luck. Zhang Dong never disappoints people. I have a deep understanding of this. "

Governor Li analyzed in detail.

Mr. Wang nodded, and then looked at Mr. Ma and others, wanting to hear other people's opinions.

Without any hesitation, Mr. Ma directly stood on the side of Governor Li. Under the current situation, if you follow the official, you can't go wrong.

As for the others, three prefer Tasmania, and the other two are also somewhat unwilling, and they propose to make two-handed preparations.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "It's not impossible to prepare with both hands, but I personally prefer to focus on Tasmania."

"Then it's settled. I, Lao Zheng and Xu Dong are in a team, including Governor Li, and the rest of you are in a team. Let's divide our troops into two groups and act separately."

President Wang quickly agreed.

I'm afraid that Zhang Hao will disagree.

Although the other party has the least share, but the impact is the greatest, but even so, he does not regret pulling the other party to buy shares, after all, there are no worthless people under the reputation.

Zhang Hao waved his hands again and again: "I don't need it, right? We agreed, I don't need to worry about anything."

"I'm talking about Mr. Zhang, can we just do it this time?" Governor Li said angrily, "Aren't you very familiar with Minister Yin of the Ministry of Energy? This acquisition, no matter what, cannot bypass the Ministry of Energy."

"Yes, Zhang Dong, help me!"

President Ma followed suit.

Zhang Hao couldn't evade it, so he could only sigh: "Okay, just this time, let's not make an example. But there was no time a year ago, so let's do it next year?"

"Don't worry, as soon as the news gets out today, it's probably going crazy outside, and we will act soon. We can't take it lightly."

Governor Li persuaded tactfully.

"Governor Li, it's not that I'm hypocritical, it's really not good. You also know that the first day of the Lunar New Year is my third sister's wedding day. As a younger brother, I can't be absent, right?"

"This matter is easy to handle. Your third sister is a sensible person. I will do her work, so you can rest assured." Governor Li patted his chest and assured.

"Oh, what is this called!"

Zhang Hao couldn't help complaining.

Several of them are big bosses, he has to give face.
