677. Bloodletting
Through all kinds of magical deceptions, Li Yifan said that he accidentally met a friend from Jinghua University some time ago. This friend happened to have heard of Zhou Yuanchao before. They are alumni. Although they are not friends, they have also heard of his deeds.
At that time, I mentioned to him what I wanted to acquire D-privately, and that friend enthusiastically asked me to contact Zhou Yuanchao, so I investigated Zhou Yuanchao and got so much information at present.
After this explanation, Annie Li finally fooled her.
"Well, after hearing what you said, I finally feel a little confident. Well, since those Australians are unwilling to buy it, let's try to dig his corner. I'll go and contact Zhou Yuanchao to see if he intends to leave this private company. If he really wants to leave, then we will make a lot of money. Poaching a few people is much easier than acquiring a company."
Annie Li said to Li Yifan with a smile, and Li Yifan nodded with satisfaction.
Indeed, the private sector has not yet reached the point where they were at the end of their lives in the future. They couldn't hold on back then. When they went bankrupt, Geely spent only more than 40 million Australian dollars to take over the company.
But now this company can still keep trying to maintain it, so if you want to acquire them at this time, and the Australians always like the problem of lions talking big, maybe they dare to ask for 500 million Australian dollars from themselves.
Since they are so unkind, why are they polite to them? They have dug up his core. Even if they give him a high salary and a high position, they can dig out all the people under him. If they re-establish a transmission design company, it may not cost 500 million Australian dollars?
Hehe, I'm afraid 100 million yuan is enough!
When Li Yifan thought of the incident of poaching the Australians this time, he felt a great feeling.
"We have to slowly do this, so don't worry. After all, he has been working in D-private for more than ten years. It is definitely fake to say that there is no relationship. What's more, we have to rely on him to convince the people in his team to come out together. So we can slowly contact him. Don't force him to get in a hurry. Anyway, even if he is unwilling to come out for the time being, and continues to stay in D-private, there is no benefit. The chaos in D-private and the company's policies will sooner or later anger him and his team. As long as we can handle him within the next two or three years, it's best. Of course, if you have other means, the faster the better. It's best to dig out him and his team next year."
Li Yifan said to Li Annie with a smile, and Li Annie also nodded. It is indeed not easy to find someone who has worked in D-private for more than ten years, not to mention that there are more than 20 Australians in the team he led?
It is probably not that easy to persuade these people to leave their hometowns.
Li Yifan is not particularly anxious about this matter. After all, for now, domestic so-called independent brand car companies have not developed at all. They really started to appear in the domestic automobile market. It is probably not too late to wait until 2003, and even at that time, it would be not too late to take action.
"By the way, since you already have an idea about this D-private business, what about Rio Tinto? This is not that simple. You may be able to use it on D-private business, but it may not work so well when used on Rio Tinto, right? Especially when they have a strong Japanese background?"
Annie Li looked at Li Yifan with a smile and asked. Li Yifan could only shake her head helplessly. This matter is indeed very difficult. Not to mention the resistance from the Australians, the resistance from the Japanese alone is definitely not small.
Originally, he was thinking that he would take a trip to Japan after a few years and had enough time. After all, because he had more than ten years of experience than he is now, he still knows the changes in Japan during this period.
Especially the changes in some people in Japanese society, he is very familiar with them. These guys have a lot of good things in their hands. Originally, he wanted to harvest them in the past a few years, but now it seems that his plan seems to have to be carried out in advance.
"You don't have to worry about this. After a while, around the Spring Festival, I will go to Japan in person to see if I can find an opportunity to resolve the pressure of the Japanese. I believe that as long as the pressure that comes to them is resolved, the next thing will be much easier."
Li Yifan was very confident when he said this, but Annie Li was confused. Are Japanese so easy to deal with? Why does this guy speak so confidently?
But in the end she chose to believe this guy, after all, he was always able to solve some difficult problems that he could not imagine.
"By the way, since the acquisition of D private has been suspended, we can't use the funds we have prepared to acquire D private. I think we should go to another way out earlier."
"Oh? What's the way out? Tell me."
Li Yifan's investment vision is very unique. At this time, Li Annie also became interested in what he wanted to invest. She wanted to know which company this guy is targeting again this time.
"You can help me with Chachari versdale ning ltd. The plate of this company should be small now. If possible, I will take this company down in full."
Li Yifan said to Annie with a smile, and at the same time he felt ruthless. Since Rio Tinto doesn't want me to live a good life, then you don't think about it. If you want me to bleed, let's see who will bleed more then.
“Japan versdale ning ltd? What does this company do?”
The Japanese versdale is a fan of ltd company, obviously Annie Li had never heard of it before. Now when she heard that Li Yifan was interested in this company, she became interested.
"This company is a coking coal refining industry company in Australia. The company has several coking coal mines of very good quality, but the current operating conditions are not very good."
Li Yifan smiled faintly and explained to Annie Li that in 2001, the world's economic pointer had not yet reached the world's steel frenzy because of the crazy economic trend of China.
As we all know, today's steelmaking companies cannot do without coke. They need coke to purify molten iron, so coke can be said to be the second only to iron ore among steel companies' needs.
At present, China's steel tide has not yet arrived. Domestic iron ore can be produced by itself. China's coke is not only sufficient for domestic use, but is even exported to foreign countries every year for other foreign steel companies. During the period from 2002 to 2003, China's coke even occupied about 60% of the world's coke export share.
It not only supplies it to its own country, but also exports it to steel companies in Europe, America, Japan, and even Australia.
The reason is also very simple. Although the cost of refining coke is not high, it pollutes the environment very much. Developed countries like Europe, America, Australia, and Japan have very high environmental requirements for their own countries. Therefore, if such companies live in places like Europe, America, Japan, or Australia, the cost of environmental governance will be very high.
This is why China's coke exports in large quantities and even dominates the market.
As the wheel of China's economic development rotated, when the new leadership team came to power and China entered the real estate and automobile development model, domestic steel companies began to set off a new round of Dalian steel frenzy, China's domestic coke could basically only be used by its own steel companies.
Even in 2004, the China Finance and Development Commission simply issued a ban, directly announcing a ban on the export of coke from its own country. Such a ban not only caused the product prices of local coke companies in China to soar, from less than 300 yuan Eaton to 1,300 yuan per ton, but also caused the international coke price to rise three times a day.
Later, the EU launched a series of trade wars with China because of the ban on exporting coke.
After that, this coking coal company of versdale, which was a coking coal company in Japan, seized the opportunity and began to continuously expand its production scale. It not only supplied its own steel companies, but also even sold its products abroad. When the steel craze in China became more and more intense and its coke products were insufficient to use, the company even began to export coke products to China in large quantities.
In the era when Chinese coke companies began to launch international coke markets, this company then jumped to become the largest exporter of the world's coke market. At its peak, it even occupied about 70% of the world's coke export market.
In the end, even Rio Tinto was jealous of the company and felt that she couldn't stand it. She directly sold 4 billion US dollars to take the company down!
But that happened ten years later. Now, when many coke companies in China were still in the international market, when they were unifying the world, as a large number of high-quality and low-cost Chinese cokes were continuously launched on the market, this Japanese versdale fanning ltd did not have a good life, and their market share was even more pitifully low.
Not to mention exporting products abroad, even Rio Tinto and BHP's steel mills are not willing to use their coke. The reason is very simple: The price of their products is too expensive than coke in China.
So the life of this company can only be described as difficult steps, and it may even face bankruptcy at any time!
