Chapter 1603: Yuanjia Road is narrow

In Tan Zhenhua’s previous life, he was quite concerned about current affairs. He has seen countless times from various media about the unfair treatment China suffered when importing iron ore. At such times, some of them used in-depth analysis of financial or current affairs news. Media writers in the main business will use Simandou iron ore to come out and speculate. Such analysis articles usually say "If China can win Simandou iron ore, it can solve the international iron ore dilemma." Some regretful sentences came to the end, so that Tan Zhenhua also specifically checked some information about this influential iron mine on the Internet.
However, after his rebirth, big and small things followed one after another, and the main scope of activities was still concentrated in the United States, Europe and Asia, so that he unconsciously forgot the iron ore sleeping in Africa until Wu Juewen. I called him and mentioned the name.
This name immediately reminded Tan Zhenhua of a lot of information about Simandu iron ore.
Simandou iron mine is located in Guinea, West Africa. According to his memory, in the exploration in the next century, the proven reserves exceeded 2.4 billion tons, and the total reserves are expected to exceed 5 billion tons!
Moreover, the ore quality of this mine has reached 66~67%. It is a veritable rich ore and high-quality mine. This has been proved by the "Hongqi Mining" prospecting team; another attractive point is that this mine Most of the ore in the mine is buried very shallow and can be mined open-pit, which means that the actual cost of mining this mine will be relatively low!
However, this mine also has a problem. The mine goes deep into the inland areas of Guinea and is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest seaport. Due to the extremely backward infrastructure in Guinea, all the railways in the country together do not exceed 1,000 kilometers. Kilometers, this caused a big problem to be overcome to smoothly transport the mined ore to the seaport.
For this reason, Tan Zhenhua visited several cooperative units with good relations as soon as he learned the news, and quickly formulated a huge plan, and notified Guo Zhaode to raise the start-up funds for him, but at this time , Wu Juewen called and told him another not-so-good news-the opponent of "Hongqi Mining" appeared. Someone also focused on the area and had obtained the prospecting rights issued by the government of Guinea. Their exploration team was very The iron ore was discovered soon, and the mine mining cooperation project with the Guinea government began.
The opponent is also a behemoth, and ranks second in the field of international mine development, occupying a leading position in the world, and it is the British Rio Tinto Group.
It's really narrow!
This is Tan Zhenhua's sigh after reading the complicated organization chart of Rio Tinto Group and figuring out the control of this huge corporate trust with tentacles all over the world.
Because through this cobweb-like organizational chart, the dazzling number of wholly-owned, holding, and joint-venture branches, and the list of board members’ shareholdings that grew to a thick book, he saw what was hidden in it. Two lines-the end of one of them, points to the Rothschild family, while the other line points to a person he least wants to deal with and his company, Mark Rich, Glencore.
The Rothschild family is the hidden major shareholder behind the Rio Tinto Group. In fact, it is quite natural that the Rio Tinto Group was established in 1873. The original headquarters of the Rio Tinto Group was located in Spain in Continental Europe. Moving the headquarters to the British Isles, it can be seen from the trajectory of this migration that it must be influenced by the important old capital families in Europe-and when it comes to the capital families with the greatest influence in Europe, who can compare Ever had a Rothschild?
I am afraid that Rio Tinto Group is part of the main assets that the Rothschild family has finally survived from the rubble of World War II.
If you think about it again, it’s not difficult to understand that Glencore Group also has a place in this company. Mark Rich is bold and courageous. Although he has not risen for a long time, he has woven a picture all over the ground. The world’s material trading network says that he is the world’s largest black market trader today. I’m afraid there is no objection to this. As mentioned earlier, he was able to secretly repair an underground oil pipeline between Ipos and Isaac. Since smuggling oil between two hostile countries and still making money, you know that this person does have extraordinary abilities and network resources.
As we all know, a considerable part of the international energy and mineral product transactions are not easily visible. So Rio Tinto Group, the second largest global mineral product transaction, and Glencore Group, the largest black market transaction, overlap. It's not uncommon.
However, when such a company with such a complicated background becomes a rival, even Tan Zhenhua at this time feels quite tricky.
However, Tan Zhenhua has always believed that the most difficult things are actually composed of relatively simple problems, but these simple problems may not be easy to solve, and the entanglement and mutual influence of each other lead to the final complex situation.
Take, for example, the fight with Rio Tinto for the right to develop the Simandou iron ore mine. If the relationship between the government departments of Guinea can be properly handled, and their support can be obtained, then the Rothschild family and Mark Ritchie can be persuaded. Can be.
Tan Zhenhua still has a three-point grasp on how to persuade the Guinean government. Huaxia officials are definitely willing to help. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is more enthusiastic about this matter than he himself, because if this matter is done, it can promote the two countries The friendship between the two countries, on the other hand, has also deepened the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, which is of great benefit to China's expansion of influence in Africa.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs even took the initiative to come up with a list, expressing its willingness to provide Guinea with a package of assistance programs in order to facilitate this. This assistance program includes medical and health, education, public health, etc., and Guinea was originally A country that is very friendly to China, so Tan Zhenhua believes that there is still considerable room for manipulation in this area.
Tan Zhenhua himself has made considerable resource preparations for this matter-for example, he plans to help Guinea build a railway from the mining area to its west coast port to transport ore; for example, help Guinea build and rebuild a 300,000-ton ore Dedicated wharf; another example, help Guinea to find some suitable arms for the country from the equipment that is on the verge of obsolescence in China...
With these conditions, I believe the government of Guinea should also be satisfied, but the problem is that even Tan Zhenhua himself feels that only the consent of the government of Guinea is not enough, because he can think of Rothschild and Mark Rich. It can also be thought that what he can do, others can do the same-especially those gray parts that are bound to be involved, these two will definitely be able to do better than him, because others can promise certain key people To open the door to the Western world for them or their children, and Tan Zhenhua is indeed struggling to do these things at this time.
So the best way is to persuade these two to quit.
So the question is, how can the two ruthless characters Rothschild and Mark Rich quit?
