The story of Xiaguo's enterprises going overseas can be traced back to the time after joining the WTO in 2001, but it was not large at that time.

Throughout 2002 and 2003, the total amount of foreign investment by Huaguo Enterprises was less than 3 billion magnesium.

The large-scale overseas trip actually started in 2006, first state-owned enterprises, large private enterprises, then medium-sized enterprises, first energy and telecommunications companies, and later Internet and game companies. These attempts to go overseas in batches were to find a broad market outside Huaguo.

, invest in the wave of global economic integration.

By last year, the cumulative amount of foreign investment in Huaguo Enterprises had exceeded 312 billion magnesium, becoming the fastest growing multinational company group in the world.

During the process of going overseas, Huaguo Enterprises also suffered many challenges.

The initial direction of going overseas was the world's largest market, Magnesium, but later it was found that due to some local policy restrictions on Magnesium, Magnesium enterprises were subject to very unfair competition.

Later, the direction of going to sea was positioned in Yazhou, such as Southeast Ya and Tianzhu. Some companies traveled across the ocean to the Philippines, which is mainly third-world countries, and used abundant resources and low labor prices to seize the market.

However, Huaguo enterprises often lack investment strategies, financial thinking, management structure and risk control to adapt to global operations, so Hua Aluminum and Rio Tinto have given gifts for more than a year but have been regretted.

Some countries even regard Huaguo enterprises as fat meat, and they promised well before investment, and they will eat them every day after the money is in place.

Especially when investing in Philippines, there are more things to pay attention to.

On the one hand, to establish good relations with the upper class, some gray means need to be used, and once these gray means are exposed, they may encounter legal trouble.

It was as if BSGR had obtained the mining rights in the Ximangdu No. 1 and 2 mining area by bribery. After Kong Dai came to power, he immediately asked to investigate the matter and recover the mining rights, which made BSGR so anxious.

On the other hand, local social security is also a serious problem.

Why did Li Rui come to Guinea this time and ask someone who is bombing the shield to come to protect him? It was precisely because in January this year, a vicious incident in which Huaguo Enterprise was looted at the construction site of the under-construction project in the Philippines and 29 employees were hijacked.

, which leads to the danger of everyone in the Philippines.

Many difficulties have made it very difficult for Huaguo enterprises to go overseas, but with the appeal of the country and huge profits, many enterprises still struggle to cross the ocean.

This time, the target of Simandu is a consortium of several companies.

According to what Lewis found out, the leader was the Vili Group from Lion City, a shipping company with the founder of an overseas sanitary.

There are also two famous domestic companies, one is Luqiao Group from Dongshan Province, which is also the largest private aluminum enterprise in China, and the other is Dengzhou Port Group with the national title.

The delegation of the three of them arrived in Guinea in May. After a secret inspection of the Simandu project, they communicated with Rio Tinto, BSGR and Vale and other related stakeholders, and then they came to Guinea.

In terms of the situation, it expressed its willingness to take over the No. 1 and 2 mining area.

Lewis seemed very angry at this opponent that emerged from nowhere: "Why are your Huaguo companies fighting each other? Didn't they communicate without any communication before choosing a project?"

Li Rui could not answer this question.

This is not the first time that Huaguo Enterprises have been in disarray in international competition. Not to mention cooperation, there are even stabbing each other in the back.

In international business competition, many Chinese people even have the idea of ​​preferring foreigners to benefit their compatriots. They have done countless things that make their relatives feel sad and enemies happy. I won’t go into details, so I won’t give it to everyone.

Making trouble...

No matter what, the other party has come, adding a lot of variables to the Ximangdu project, and Li Rui must deal with it seriously.

"Mr. Lewis, it doesn't matter what the other party wants to do. What is important is that we cannot lose our own rhythm." Li Rui said, "Please continue to maintain contact with Guinea and pay attention to changes in the situation at any time. In addition, please arrange for me to meet Condem as soon as possible.

”

"No problem," said Lewis. "I will arrange for you to meet Condor for three days at most."

He paused and said, "I want to remind you that the Filipinos are different from the magnesium people. They are very greedy!"

Li Rui smiled and thought to himself that you should stop giving your face...

At the next dinner, Li Rui mainly asked Professor Turner about some specific situations of the Simandu project, such as the quality of iron ore, reserves, and the difficulty of mining and transportation.

Although I have memories of my previous life and various collected information, I still have to ask this kind of thing myself to be assured.

Turner gave patient answers one by one, which also made Li Rui feel confident.

Simandu is definitely a project that cannot be missed. Compared with this, Eritrea potassium salt mine is like a playhouse!

After the dinner, Li Rui returned to his room and searched the Internet for information about Weili Group, Luqiao Group and Dengzhou Port, while racking his brains to search for memories of his past lives.

After thinking for a long time, Li Rui suddenly slapped his forehead and realized that something was wrong with his memory.

In Li Rui's previous memory, he always believed that the company that participated in the Ximangdu project was a consortium of Hua Aluminum and Hangang Group. Now he realized that Hua Aluminum and Hangang should be involved in the No. 3 and 4 mining area.

Huaguo Enterprise, which entered the No. 1 and No. 2 mining area in 2019, can't remember it clearly, but judging from the current situation, it should be inseparable from these companies.

If you are competing with foreigners, Li Rui will definitely not have any psychological pressure, and it doesn’t matter if you use all kinds of means together.

But now that the competitor is his own family, Li Rui has to think about it carefully. First of all, he must determine whether there is a national will behind the other party.

After looking at my watch, it was around 11 o'clock in the evening in Guinea, and it should be around 7 o'clock in the next day in China. At this time, Xie Zhiqing should have gotten up, right?

Li Rui couldn't wait any longer, so after thinking about it, he still called Xie Zhiqing.

After beating, Xie Zhiqing answered: "Hey, I am Xie Zhiqing, who is it?"

Li Rui said: "Thank you, I am Li Rui. I called you in Guinea, Philippines!"

Xie Zhiqing is the Director-General of the Mining Resources Association. Before, Li Rui had dealt with him a lot when he acquired the Eritrea potassium salt mine and received a lot of help.

When he heard that it was Li Rui, Xie Zhiqing said happily: "Why did you go to the Philippines? Are you going to inspect the Eritrea potassium salt mine? No, Eritrea is in East Philippines, why did you go to Sifi Guinea to do it?"

Li Rui said: "I came to Guinea to inspect another project. Officer Xie, have you heard of Simandu?"

"Ximandu!" Xie Zhiqing was shocked, "Have you gone to inspect Ximandu?"

When Li Rui heard Xie Zhiqing's reaction, he understood.
Chapter completed!
