1512. The Lion's Big Mouth

It’s the last three days. Thank you for your support along the way. Finally, I’ll advertise. Ant’s new book has been uploaded, with more than 800,000 words, so everyone can kill it.

***************

There are many types of nickel ore resources in the world, but the one with the highest nickel ore taste is of course laterite nickel ore. In the current world, there are two countries with the richest laterite nickel ore resources, one is the Philippines and the other is Indonesia.

It turns out that Indonesia and the Philippines are the same, and are open to the outside world in terms of mineral resources, allowing foreign capital to invest in their countries and **develop those mineral resources.

However, last year, the Indonesian parliament passed a bill that strictly prohibits foreign capital from developing various mineral resources in their own country. Even if it can be developed, it must be open to state-owned capital, allowing its governments or individuals to raise funds in those mineral resources.

To put it bluntly, you are not allowed to play alone. If you want to make a fortune in silence, you have to ask our local people whether they are willing or not.

Moreover, their wrists are very tough. Anyway, you have to agree, and you have to agree if you don’t agree.

If you agree, you have to give up some of the shares, or take out some of the profits and share them with everyone. If you don’t agree, you can’t even keep the mine. At worst, the national government will give you a low and pitiful compensation, and then you have to get out.

The Indonesian government's tough tricks really make many mineral investors helpless. After all, Indonesians have a good choice of timing. Americans are focusing on the Middle East at this time and have no time to take care of their side.

It is difficult for other countries to exert influence from their country, so those mineral investors can only accept Indonesian terms while staring at them, or obediently pay the poor compensation and get out.

But there are very few people who choose the latter one. After all, although they have to share a large amount of profit for Indonesian monkeys, those mines are still profitable.

Especially for large chaebols like Mitsui who have the ultimate goal of controlling resources, compared with giving up part of the profits. Controlling resources is their lifeblood.

But no matter what, the Indonesian government's actions last year still caused them heavy losses.

What's even more terrifying is that the Japanese are afraid that after Indonesians make such a head, Filipinos and Malaysians will follow suit. You should know that in these Southeast Asian countries, they have a lot of mineral resources.

When I invested in mining, I said it well, and everyone signed a contract. According to the terms of the contract at that time, the Japanese paid a small price at that time, and these countries suffered a great loss.

But now if everyone is like Indonesians, when they see that we make money, they forcefully tear up the contract and then come over to get a share of the pie, wouldn't that be too unauthentic?

Some Indonesians have made such bad news, and other countries. What if they follow suit?

So Mitsui found Betonio today, who is the leader of the Philippines whom they are very optimistic about.

Over the years, the Japanese have done a very good job in economic and political penetration of Southeast Asia.

Economically, they choose means of investment, penetration, and control, while politically, they prefer to increase their investment in political rookies who have the potential to become future leaders of these countries.

Whether it is economic or other aspects, the Japanese have various resources that these guys cannot reach.

This time, Mitsui Yukira found Betonio, on the one hand, to test his attitude towards the proposal proposed by Andal Bangkok Tat in the governor of Napalawan Province. On the other hand, he also wanted to see if this person had any prospects worth investing in.

As a politician, Betonio doesn’t know what Yukiro Mitsui is thinking?

At this time, his face did not change much. He looked like a paralyzed face. It was difficult for others to analyze the joys and angers of this guy from the expression on his face. From this point of view, this guy is definitely a qualified politician.

At this time, Mitsui Yukira was gently shaking the red wine glass in his hand, watching the red liquid in the wine glass, constantly shaking in the wine glass, and then hanging on the wall of the wine glass, slowly sliding down.

Both of them were not talking, but were actually speculating on each other's thoughts. The atmosphere in the living room fell into an unspeakable silence and embarrassment.

After a while, Yukira Mitsui took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Betonio, the reason we found you is because your father, the former president of the Philippines, was a great man. When he was in power, the elders of our family and he had always been good friends. The two laterite nickel ores in Parawang Province were approved to invest in when he was in power. Those two mines are witnesses of the friendly relationship between our Mitsui family and the Noga family in the Philippines. Now the governor of Parawang Province is trying to challenge the order, and he actually threw out such a bill to attract attention. This is not a good thing. As far as I know, the governor of Andal Bangkok seems to be entering the parliament in the second half of this year to become a country.

Member of the Congress, right? He is a well-known hardliner in the Philippines. He is very unfriendly to foreign investment. He often advocates that foreign investment is a thief, a robber who comes to steal the wealth of the Philippine people. He advocates treating these foreign investments with the toughest means. Not only should he impose heavy taxes on taxes, but he also needs to cancel the preferential policies for foreign investment. Although I do not agree with his theory, his theory seems to be very popular in the Philippines and is very popular with ordinary people at the bottom. And I heard that the reason why he did this is very interested in the next presidential election. He is so high-profile now that he is laying the groundwork for the election of the next Philippine president..."

Yukira Mitsui had something to say, and when he finished speaking, Betonio Noga V, who had been sitting opposite him in front of him, finally changed his expression at this time.

"Yes, that guy Andal is really. The thing he advocated offended many people, but in China, it is very popular with the common people. However, in my opinion, this is not a very good policy. The economic development of our Philippines is very backward and requires strong investment from foreign capital. How can we oppose foreign investment like this?"

Although he didn't say it directly, just a few short sentences have already shown his attitude.

When Mitsui Yukira saw that Betonio was moved by him, he looked happy. After all, if he moved this guy, it means that there is a way to go ahead.

Li Yifan, Li Annie, and Heidi, who were sitting in front of the monitor, were also thinking about each other at this time. Heidi was not very concerned about the changes of this guy, but Li Yifan and Li Annie were very concerned about the changes of Betonio.

Both of them hope that Betonio could reveal his fox tail earlier. Today, this incident is obvious. Mitsui Yukira asked Betonio to talk about these things. In fact, it was hoped that Betonio could agree to him and help reject the proposal of Andal Bangkok Da to ban FTAA when the Congress was held.

And in return, he will definitely give Betonio a lot of benefits, and this is the handle they need most. As for the Filipinos, they don’t care at all how they fight.

What they care about is the future development of Betonio. They hope that Betonio will go higher and higher in the future and will eventually become the president of the Philippines. That is the end, because only after this guy is called the president of the Philippines can his value be maximized.

Not only for Mitsui Yuki, but also for Li Yifan and Li Annie, who have mastered his handle.

Betonio finally stopped pretending to be facial paralysis, but made a statement, which made Yukira Mitsui very happy. He quickly talked to Nabetonio again and said a lot.

The final result, as Li Yifan and Li Annie predicted, this guy directly wrote a check to Betonio.

Betonio looked at the check on the coffee table that was returned by Yukio Mitsui, then stuck it with two fingers, glanced at the numbers on it, then gently flicked the check and put the check in his pocket.

When Mitsui Yukira saw that he had received the check, he was very happy. Although Betonio's expression was still serious at this time, he still raised it and was ready to hold a cup with Betonio to celebrate the success of everyone's cooperation.

Betonio was also giving him face, so he was raised and was beaten, but his movements were very stiff. Mitsui hit him with a cup, then got up, stretched out his right hand, and wanted to shake hands with Betonio.

But Betonio did not get up, but raised his head and began to look around the villa.

"Mr. Mitsui, your villa looks very good. Can you please ask me to enjoy it? I originally wanted to buy a villa like this in Singapore, but...haha, you also know that we are civil servants and don't have that much money?"

After hearing Betonio's words, Mitsui's expression was stunned at first, but it soon turned into normalcy.
