Chapter 95 Signature
(Thanks to Ming Shengshi for his reward and support. Welcome to speak enthusiastically in the book review area and add some excuses.)
Although Ritchie's $100 million donation was originally said to be for the miners' silicosis, there is actually a big problem in actual operations, which is uneven distribution.
No matter which government, there are countless places to use money. If there is no such money, everyone will be able to survive. But now there is a huge sum of $100 million. If it only invests in the prevention and treatment of silicosis, no one will do this.
Is it important to prevent and treat silicosis? Of course it is important, because it affects the lives of millions of miners, but there are too many important aspects. However, in terms of disease prevention and control, at least hundreds of diseases are not inferior to this disease. Not to mention that there are also education, national defense, public security and other aspects that require money.
Huff arrived two days before Jonas, and in the past two days he received invitations from many departments, all the purpose was to
Hev only had the power to supervise, but no power to distribute, so he did not dare to accept any invitation, waiting for Jonas to make a decision.
After hearing Hoff's words, Jonas also found it very difficult, but he had to go to have breakfast with Met, so he didn't have much time to delay, so he said, "I came to Chile this time, except for the signing ceremony later, to allocate the funds. I think I will definitely receive a lot of invitations when the signing ceremony is over. But we must keep in mind one principle. That is, the funds were negotiated with us by Minister Bachelet, so the funds will be distributed by Minister Bachelet. No matter how she allocates, we have no objection. You can spread this decision and let everyone talk to Bachelet."
Huff said: "The right to distribute is power. This is the best time for us to expand our influence in Chile. How can we give it to the other party to distribute it?"
Jonas did not care about his doubts and said, "Even if we hand over this fund to Bachelet to allocate this money, it does not mean that we have lost this power. In fact, we cannot pay too much attention to the influence at the bottom. As long as we maintain a friendly relationship with the upper level, our influence can still easily penetrate. On the contrary, if we seize this power and directly spread the influence below, it will attract suspicion from the upper level."
Huff nodded and said, "I understand. Yonas, you may be very busy today, but I still hope you can leave me some time and let's make some arrangements."
"That's what I think."
Janik entertained Hoff, and Jonas went to the restaurant to meet Met. Daniel Met is the head of Garnett's copper management department. He is an Espanyol. After Garnett went public a few years later, he became the fourth richest person in Spain with a net worth of 4 billion US dollars. However, at this time, he is still an unknown person, which is also a common problem for everyone in Garnett. They work wholeheartedly and never accept interviews. Even though they are millionaires, they are low-key and unknown.
From the Rich era to the current Glasenberg era, Glencore has experienced three generations of leaders, but all their operations are hidden under layers of fog, because they are not disclosed, no one knows their mobilization of funds, their methods of conduct, and their secret operations are even more unknown. This is what they are most criticized.
If other companies are bribed or suspected of bribery, they can be reflected by the mobilization of funds. As a private company, Glencore's non-disclosure accounts make everyone unable to know how he acts. A few years later, Glencore's listing may be under pressure, because this is equivalent to unfair competition.
Although Met is already a millionaire, Glencore, who is a millionaire in a small half of the people, has not particularly outstanding assets. Only a few years later did Glencore re-allocate shares and go public, after he owned management shares as the main manager soared sharply.
Jonas's current working relationship remains in Glencore's American branch of the Minerals Department. Speaking of which, it is Met's direct subordinate, because the American branch is Met's direct management department.
Because they were about to attend the signing ceremony held by the Foreign Investment Committee, the two of them did not have a long time to communicate with several major management positions after the establishment of the company, and then they went to attend the signing ceremony together.
The four companies we cooperated with this time, Strata is an old mining company with rich development experience and excellent professional talents. Skorco is a state-owned mining company in Chile and has rich human resources. Glencore is the world's largest trader. All three of them have their own advantages.
Only the Jonas and his son have the power to participate because of the copper mine explorer. However, within the company, they are destined to be marginal forces. Jonas does not care how much power they want to gain in this mineral company. Cooperating development and sharing of interests is all his expectations. Being able to participate in this game together has already satisfied him.
If it weren't for the exploration of large copper mines like them, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky. With this foundation, an interest group has been formed with them. Only in the future can we explore more mines without fear of being robbed of development rights by others.
After all, it was an investment of $6 billion. Although President Escobar did not come here in person because he was not in China, he also arranged for the special envoy to come. The signed venue was arranged very grandly, and almost all the relevant departments in Chile were the main leaders to come to cheer them up.
Scott's chairman and Strata's chairman also attended the signing ceremony in person. After the establishment of the new company, Scott's chairman and Strata's general manager were assigned. Garnett had no interest in the company's specific operations. They only wanted to control the sales of ore and copper products. So they only controlled the sales department, and Brody was the executive deputy general manager of the new company.
The agreement stipulates that all copper ore and copper products, as well as associated silver ore and molybdenum ore are responsible for the sales of Glencore. However, the associated gold ore must be processed slightly below the market price to the Central Bank of Chile. This is the regulation of almost most mineral countries. After all, gold, as a hard currency in the international market, cannot be controlled by the government.
The four parties signed the agreement, which means that the development of the copper mine has entered the formal preparation stage. In fact, the preparations are almost ready, and the equipment, managers, and ordinary workers have been arranged, just waiting for the start of construction. When Yonas handed over his own contract to Ellieni, he knew that with this contract, UBS's $2.5 billion loan would be fine.
Among the many old men and middle-aged people, the young Jonas was enthusiastically sought after by the media. However, Jonas refused any interviews. Under his instructions, the company's publicity department also tried hard to downplay Jonas' existence in communication with the media. He spent more than 30,000 US dollars from Jonas to prepare several hundred dollars for each of these media people, but finally did not publish his recent photos as the main promotional pictures.
During the cocktail party after the signing ceremony, Jonas immediately received special attention from many government departments in Chile. This time, people were not allowed to be paid for by hundreds of dollars. However, Jonas was very clever and handed over the right to deal with the donation to Bachelet, so she was worried about this.
There is only one person Jonas who pays attention to, that is Insfeldboden of the Investment Management Department of the Copper Industry Commission. This old man dominates all the power to enter Chile to invest in copper mines. If Jonas wants to come to Chile to develop mines, it is completely impossible for him to do without his support. And he is not so honest. To be honest, Jonas likes to deal with such people the most.
At the beginning of the cocktail party, Alini found an opportunity to meet the old man. A Swiss gold watch quietly transferred it from a stack of documents handed over to him by Alini to his pocket.
Jonas has not yet had the energy to develop the mines in his impression. He must wait until his company's preparations are completed before it can be officially developed. However, it is necessary to make emotional investment first.
While Jonas was going to the bathroom, Boden also found an opportunity to express his gratitude to Jonas's gift. Although the place was not high-end, the two of them were very happy to chat. When they separated, Boden could already call Jonas' name directly. He said happily: "Next month I am going to Madrid to visit my youngest son who was studying there, and I hope I can meet you when I have the opportunity."
"Of course. Mr. Boden can tell me in advance when he arrives in Madrid. I will definitely take you to Spain for a good trip. I have a villa in Marbella, which is a good place to go on vacation." When talking about Madrid, Jonas' heart suddenly stumbled, but he didn't know why.
Boden laughed and said, "Jonas, I also have Spanish blood, not only you." The two laughed.
When he returned to the cocktail hall, Alini greeted him and said, "Minister Bachelet has sent someone here, hoping to meet you in the afternoon."
Jonas smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for her invitation. You call Huff and ask him to go to see Minister Bachelet with me in the afternoon." Alini nodded and was about to leave, Jonas said, "You check it out and see if there is any major event in Madrid recently. I mentioned Madrid just now, why do you feel uneasy?"
Ellieni looked at him suspiciously and said, "Spain has been busy with the general election recently."
"No, no, it's not like this. It's definitely not the election that makes me feel uneasy."
Alini nodded and said, "Well, I will collect the latest news about Madrid."
