As we all know, Afghanistan is not a good bone. The British Empire fell into a big flaw here, and later the former Soviet Union, which was known as the second largest in the world, even fell into a big Malaysian party here, which eventually led to the disintegration of the former Soviet Union...

Now Americans are going to use their swords against Afghanistan. Although they have gathered many allies, everyone is still not optimistic about the prospects of this war.

Although everyone does not believe that the Americans cannot win this war, what everyone is most afraid of is that the Americans are trapped in a quagmire like the Vietnam War here.

Once the Afghan War falls into a pattern like the Vietnam War again, it will take ten years to fight, so everyone will worry that Americans will not be able to stand it.

Once Americans can't stand it, it will directly affect the United States' international status, and even a large amount of military expenditure and increasing taxes will also cause the United States' economy to fall into a quagmire.

This is likely to lead to a secondary recession in the US economy, so economists and investors from all over the world are now very cautious and are not optimistic about the prospects of this war.

What's more, the Americans are playing against a lunatic. They can even hijack the plane and hit the building. Who knows if he has any other means? If he uses more dangerous means, it may bring a greater impact to the US economy.

It is this concern about the development of the US economy that has led to investors and political experts all over the world formulating corresponding and cautious economic policies. It is precisely such economic policies that have caused the international price of commodities such as iron ore.

Rio Tinto originally wanted to take over the opportunity of the financial crisis and swallow up one of its own competitors to expand its operations, but he did not expect to encounter such an unlucky thing?

Now that the international sales of iron ore cannot increase, their capital return will become a problem. You should know that Australia's labor costs are not low and there are various debt problems, so Rio Tinto now feels quite anxious.

Now they are looking for investors all over the world, but they just catch up. Everyone is holding their money tightly and preparing to wait and see before talking, so their financing prospects are not optimistic.

However, Li Yifan planned to take action against Rio Tinto at this time, and this courage surprised Li Annie.

"You don't have to worry about this. Those guys in Afghanistan will definitely not be able to withstand the Americans. Moreover, the price of iron ore will definitely rise, and the upward momentum will be extremely rapid. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I will wait next time?"

Li Yifan's smile had a little bitterness. In fact, he had a headache at this time. How should he explain it to Annie?

Over the years, Americans' cultural invasion policies have been very successful. It is their cultural propaganda that has made them often achieve twice the result with half the effort when they are engaged in wars. After all, many local people are influenced by American culture and believe that the United States is the most powerful in the world.

On the other hand, it is because the Taliban guys have not done anything good in Afghanistan over the years. It has been the 21st century. However, they are still implementing the religious domination model of the 17th century. Moreover, they are not good at engaging in the economy. Now they are still relying on exporting opium to maintain the economic operation of the government, so they are quite unpopular in the local area.

This Afghan war did not take much effort for the Americans. The Taliban guys were defeated in front of the Americans. In a few months, their political power completely disappeared. Although they continued to resist underground, they were no longer in a state of decline.

Unfortunately, he couldn't tell Lee Annie directly about these facts that had happened, so he could only pretend to be a genius.

"I still don't understand..."

Annie Li wanted to continue discussing this issue, but Li Yifan had to find another way, otherwise he would not be able to justify himself.

"Actually, Annie, you should not only pay attention to Americans, you should also pay attention to China. You should know the speed of China's economic growth in recent years. Now we have surpassed France and the United Kingdom, only behind Germany, Japan and the United States. In the past few years, because the United States' strategic focus has been in Asia, China is a little overwhelmed. But now the United States' strategic focus has shifted to Europe, and China will definitely take advantage of the situation..."

"But what does this have to do with the price of iron ore?"

"This starts with the economic structure of China. We have been reforming and opening up for 20 years. In the first twenty years, we relied on export trade to ensure the rapid growth of our economy. However, in recent years, our economic growth rate has reached a bottleneck, and even frequently encountered frictions with developed countries in Europe and the United States in terms of import and export trade. Next year, we will enter the stage of national leadership change, and the newly-entered leaders will definitely find a new economic growth model. According to the news I received and my judgment for so long, the next ten years will be a decade of rapid development of the real estate industry in China. What do you think the real estate industry needs most? If China has such a large population base, if it starts to be large-scale urbanization, then the demand for steel will be almost a huge amount..."

Li Yifan could only start to fool Li Annie by relying on facts and half by fooling him. At this time, Li Annie seemed to have remembered something. Although she was still a little suspicious about Li Yifan's statement, she did not speak out anymore.

Indeed, if a population of 1.3 billion begins to be large-scale urbanized, the total demand for steel... Oh my God!

She had been to China several times before, mainly visiting Beijing or Puhai, these two most representative cities of China. Every time she went there, she felt refreshing. It was almost a large construction site, and a new high-rise building would be built every few days. The fanatical speed would be terrible now.

If such a frenzy is formed in the next ten years... it will be unimaginable that a great era is coming!

"So I think it's just the right time to enter the iron ore industry. You should know that in the past, these Australians were extremely conservative. They were very opposed to foreign capital and penetrated their resource-based fields. Now it seems that the situation is already very critical, forcing them to have to raise funds on a large scale. Otherwise, when will you see them so generously invite the World Consortium, where will they inspect and cooperate?"

When Li Yifan saw that Li Annie was silent, he knew that she had been fooled by her, so he quickly continued to speak with anger.

This is true for Annie Lee's thoughts. These Australians are very conservative and have a natural pride towards Asians, as if they are so arrogant when wearing that white skin.

In fact, they are just descendants of a group of criminals. If the legacy left by their ancestors was really strong enough, wouldn’t they have the same virtue as South Africa?

"Well, after you said that, it really seems like this. Now is indeed the best time to invest in Rio Tinto. This company has not been established for so long, and it has not been a few large-scale financings for external sources."

Annie Li was completely confused by Li Yifan and fooled her. Li Yifan decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Well, then it's time to go early. I heard that some Japanese have already started to contact them. This is a bargain, but you must not take it away. Anne, you don't plan to mess with their troubles with the family. I don't think so, as good as this time, you can go to Australia to contact them and run my money by the way."

Li Yifan said to Annie with a smile, and Annie stared at her pretty eyes.

"You are really impatient. This is not that simple thing? I have dealt with these Australians, but they are so bad!"

She didn't say she would go, but she didn't say she couldn't go. It seemed that she was moved by Li Yifan's words. It was really not good to stay in Singapore at this time. There would definitely be fierce conflicts in the family. If you don't want to get caught in it, then it would be best to hide.

"And if you were in the past, you might as well consider Australian steel smelting companies, or inspect steel smelting companies in other parts of the world, especially those with special steel smelting companies."

Li Yifan smiled and gave another opinion to Annie, while Annie was a little confused. Why is this?

"Hehe! Although China's annual steel production is now ranked among the top in the world, our steel companies can only be said to be large but not strong. Although the crude steel produced is among the best in the world, we are still far from some special steels. For example, we cannot produce special steel for building high-rise buildings. We have to import a large amount of them every year. There are many places in other industries that require special steel, and most of them need to import them from Japan. If you can get some smelting materials for such special steel, then in China, as long as you are willing to invest in a special steel factory, I can guarantee that you can just sit at home and count the money. This is a more profitable transaction than investing in Rio Tinto."
