Chapter 55 The Embassy Reception Part 2
After the dinner, Bachelet got the information of Jonas, but there was not much useful in this simple information. This young man who has been completing within 20 kilometers of his home from elementary school to university has a simple and excessive experience. Even the university is not an economics or trade, but a leadership department of a hotel management school. Even if this school is one of the best hotel management schools in the world, it is a bit incredible.
Bachelet handed Jonas's information to Kevin, and after Kevin read it, he also showed the same doubt. Bachelet told the embassy counselor who collected the information: "In the future, if you take Jonas as your focus, he is likely to be the third generation leader after Davis and Glasenberg. No matter how much we pay attention to such a giant force, we will be less. Now, let us entertain our guests first."
Kevin nodded and said, "Davis and Glasenberg are both less than 50 years old as the executives of Strata and Garnett respectively, and this Jonas is even less than 23 years old. It seems that Ritchie attaches great importance to the cultivation of his heirs. However, I have not yet discovered any outstanding talent this Jonas has."
Bachelet said: "That's why we have to focus on it. Since Ritchie can recognize him as a godson or even as a spokesperson, there must be something we don't understand, and these information has no meaning at all. Ritchie's interest group includes too many important forces, and an ordinary young man will not be placed in such an important position by Ritchie. His son-in-law Richard, who has been with him for so many years, is still the head of a small department. This shows that Ritchie is not a person who values feelings, but a person who values ability." The rest nodded and recognized her analysis.
Because of Richie's introduction, of course, there are not only the Chilean official party, but also the response within Richie's power group has caused even greater results. Although it is still in the Chilean embassy, many people can't help but curiosity and inquire about Jonas' identity.
Hank was surrounded by many colleagues and Garnoc and Strata's acquaintances. However, except for knowing Jonas, Hank had no idea about Jonas' ability and could not say anything meaningful.
Rich and John Bond sat next to the small table by the wall, enjoying the cigar after meals. The Chilean official obviously knows Rich's hobby, and the cigars supplied are all boutiques purchased from Cuba.
Bond smiled and asked, "I'm very curious, why can't you wait to push him onto the stage with such a young man? His development seems to be of no benefit to this team. Could it be that this is just a sub-scheming?"
Ricci shook his head and said, "No, John. I can only say that I attach great importance to him. I even surpass Ivan's expectations for him." Ivan is Glasenberg's name.
Bond asked in surprise: "You are so confident in him? I'm afraid he might not be able to withstand such great pressure."
Of course, Ricci knew that this was just a test of Bond, and said with a smile: "There is motivation only when there is pressure. I don't know your Strata very well, but in my current company and Glencore, even if there is competition, it will be a healthy competition. I believe that even among these experienced adults, he will go out of his way and stand out."
Bond smiled. "I really don't know where your faith comes from!"
Jonas was chatting with Glasenberg at this time. Of course he had his purpose, which was to transfer Alini to work with him. Since he still had a position in Glencore, Alini would certainly not have to resign.
The supervisor in charge of personnel did not come to the cocktail party, and Glasenberg did not know Elini, so he asked Fields and said, "Jonas, I want to know what I don't know about here. According to this agreement, our Glencore and Strata will spend $7.8 billion to acquire shares in the Bloomsse copper mine. Your father sold 20% of the cash income. The 20% retained will shrink to 15.6% after entering the development stage. According to the development investment of $6 billion, your father only needs to take out about $1 billion to complete the capital injection. It is equivalent to your family not only owning shares in a large copper mine, but also $500 million in cash. Why do you still have to work at Glencore?"
Jonas is also very respectful to Glasenberg. When Glenoc and Strata merged in later generations, he took the initiative to give up his position as CEO and was willing to be the deputy. This is simply incomprehensible to the party that takes the initiative and holds the advantage of holding. However, he took the initiative to make such a decision in order to better integrate the two companies, which is enough to prove his noble character. What is even more rare is that he always regards work as his life. After becoming a first-class rich man in Europe, he still puts work first, never ostentatious, and his low-key attitude is even more incomprehensible. Jonas admires him very much.
Jonas said: "Uncle Ivan, it's actually very simple. Money is not the goal I ultimately pursue. I want to do more practical things like you."
“Can it be achieved in Germine?”
Yonas shook his head and said, "Uncle Ivan, I'm not willing to leave Glencore for power. My goal is to become Glencore's largest partner in five years. I think I can keep Glencore's name as the world's largest energy trader. So, our goal is consistent."
Glasenberg smiled and said, "You have so much confidence in yourself?"
Jonas laughed and said, "A few months ago, my father had to borrow $20 million in order to invest in futures in London, but just a few months later, we already owned 15.6% of the shares of a large copper mine and hundreds of millions of cash. Can you imagine such a rapid change?"
Glasenborg was stunned for a moment and smiled, "This is an incredible fact, and I seem to be full of confidence in you."
Yonas nodded and said, "Uncle Ivan, let us work together in the future to develop Genocide more powerfully. I am more confident about this."
Fields, who had been talking to the side, said, "Jonas, where does your confidence come from?"
Jonas smiled and said, "Felz, Glencore's own funds are about 20 billion US dollars. Five years later, I believe that it can reach 40 billion US dollars. Before this foundation, I will always be an ordinary trader at Glencore."
Glasenberg and Fields were both stunned and wanted to say something else. A military officer from the embassy and a first-class secretary came over, and the military officer said, "Sir, the rest time after the meal is over. Please come with me, Mr. Glasenberg and Mr. Hoffmann.
In the conference room No. 3, Mr. Fields can go to the living room on the first floor, and the dance party is ready."
There were not many people attending the meeting. Rich's side was only him and Yonas, Casinali acting as the meeting secretary, Garnerk had Glasenborg and Co-heads of the copper business, Daniel Met and Tris Mistagidis, Strata, Chairman John Bond and Executive Davis, and there was also a director who did not know Jonas, who should also be the director related to the copper mining business.
The Chilean side is mainly Chairman Kevin, with no more or less, and there are exactly nine people. Both sides took their seats on both sides of the conference table. It should be to express their importance, Defense Minister Bachelet attended the meeting and sat at one end of the conference table, just adjacent to Jonas, who was sitting next to the next.
Seeing this, Ricci insisted on not being the main focus. "I, the old man, don't participate in the investment matters, so the specific matters will be negotiated by you. It's enough for Jonas to attend the meeting on behalf of Yannik as the ** investor." He had an outstanding status and no one dared to dissuade him, so he and Bachelet sat together. Their side became mainly John Bond.
In fact, this meeting is just a tone, and will not involve detailed communication. Those will be negotiated and negotiated by the middle-level leaders below. As high-level leaders, they only set the general tone and framework of cooperation, and future cooperation will be basically completed within this framework.
Through the introduction of everyone, Yonas learned that the supervisor of Strata was the director of the management department of copper mine investment, Cliffborick. He was also the protagonist of today's meeting. He knew all the issues of copper mine investment well, and he reported the cost budget and control management of investment.
Yonas originally wanted to learn something, but he was soon disappointed. Because this kind of tone and framework negotiation does not involve any substantive issues at all, it is more about determining the process of future negotiations and making unified arrangements for the steps of copper mine development. Yonas is a decoration to listen to their discussions there.
Yes, these are big names, and the investment budget is hundreds of thousands, which one to purchase equipment, equipment installation, worker recruitment, worker welfare, production arrangement process, and environmental protection measures are negotiated one by one! So the atmosphere of the meeting was very harmonious. When both sides were happy, Chairman Kevin also took out the cigar he prepared, one by one, and the conference room was in chaos.
The two sides had a happy conversation, and the progress of the meeting was progressing very quickly. Bachelet could not stand the strong cigar smell in the conference room and said to Ritchie: "Mr. Ritchie, the effect of the meeting has been roughly clear. Can we change places and have a cup of coffee?"
Rich came to attend the meeting, initially for Jonas, and later specifically for Bachelet, the future president. He was still looking for opportunities to propose separate talks, and after hearing this proposal, of course he immediately agreed. He laughed and said, "I have always hoped to have more knowledge with His Excellency the Minister. This proposal is just as I wish."
Bachelet stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Hoffman, you are not involved here, how about going with us?"
Of course Yonas would not refuse her proposal. He noticed that Ritchie nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you for the invitation of the Minister, I am very honored."
