Rebirth of the Financial Overlord
Chapter 570 The First Nonferrous Metal
London, England.
The autumn rain fell from the sky continuously, continuously and flutteringly.
Like silk, like silk, like mist, like smoke. It falls on the face and cools, and flows into the mouth. It is sweet, like rice wine, like honey, making people feel drunk, dreamy, infatuated, and drunk.
Stretch out your hands, the rain falls into your hands as smooth as milk; taste the rain with your mouth, with a hint of sweetness; smell the autumn rain with your nose, it seems to have a faint fragrance; appreciate the autumn rain with your eyes, That autumn rain is like elves dancing joyfully, falling happily from the sky into the world.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and the drizzle suddenly became hard. The dense raindrops slapped on the windows, as if they were composing a cheerful light music.
It is no longer the sad autumn rain, but full of hope and enthusiasm. Just like life, there are sorrows and joys. The scenery on this road may be bleak, but maybe at the next turning point, you will see a brand new scenery: light rain, misty clouds, red trails, green fields, emerald green warblers, red curtains and swallows...
After an unknown amount of time, the wind and rain suddenly stopped.
Sophie Calonmey's face was probably watered by rain and blown by the wind. It looked delicate and dizzy, with bright colors, so pitiful and heart-pounding.
Shen Jiannan couldn't help thinking of a seven character poem.
Spring breeze, peach and plum blossoms,
When the leaves of the sycamore trees fall during the autumn rain.
There are many autumn grasses in the south of the West Palace,
Fallen leaves are full of red and do not sweep.
In the rain, the grass rots and dies in autumn,
The cassia of lower order is bright in color.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Uncomfortable being looked into by Shen Jiannan's eyes, Sophie Calome drew a circle on Shen Jiannan's chest and asked with a smile.
You are really Katina's good sister.
But you look like you're having fun.
I just want to say, fire prevention, theft prevention and girlfriend protection, this sentence is not false at all.
Shen. Are you Orientals so shameless?
.
In the world of adults, some things don't require emotion.
But the game between men and women will more or less change the taste because of in-depth communication.
Shen Jiannan never thought about what would happen to Sophie Calome, even though she had a proud figure and delicate face.
But if it happened once, it was an accident, and if it happened twice, it could only be fate.
Who can resist such a thing as fate.
After some nonsense and mutual tenderness, Shen Jiannan took a hot bath in the bathroom with bare feet, and walked to the living room wrapped in a towel.
Throat is a bit dry.
Just like running ten kilometers in summer, it makes people want to drink water.
Wiping his hair, Shen Jiannan picked up the thermos bottle and poured a cup of warm water and took a sip. As the warm liquid entered his throat, the lost energy and moisture were finally replenished quickly.
clap clap -
The sound of leather shoes rubbing against the floor was far and near, and Tang Dunhou's voice came along with the clear footsteps.
Boss. Are you no longer taking breaks?
Monkey. I found that you talk more and more.
Hey. Aren't I worried that when I go back this time, the lady boss will find that you have lost weight?
Stop talking nonsense. How about Brother Zheng?
The captain said that the Chiluba government army has no money, and they want to use 30% of the shares of the Konkola Copper Mine Company to pay. But he is worried that these guys will turn their backs, and he is still considering. The night team has already arrived in Zimbabwe, If all goes well, we can send people there next month.
Shen Jiannan pondered for a while, picked up the cigar on the table, took out one and lit it.
Africa is known as the chosen place because it is the continent with the richest resources and the richest land in the world.
As the core of Africa, Zambia has the largest copper deposit in the world, with copper resources accounting for more than 65% of the world. Zimbabwe is even more powerful. As the breadbasket of Africa, the land here is so fertile and the economy is so developed that it is only one step away from being able to surpass the ranks of developed countries.
1 US dollar = 100000000000 Zimbabwean dollars?
When Zimbabwe is mentioned, people may immediately think of the shame of human currency.
Banknotes are weighed in tons, and no one will steal them if they are discarded outside.
But in fact, 90 years ago, Zimbabwe was a quasi-developed country in Africa second only to South Africa, with a per capita income of several thousand dollars. Just for food exports, it was able to earn huge profits from neighboring countries.
The currency value of the Zimbabwean dollar is even more expensive than the US dollar. 1 Zimbabwean dollar is almost equivalent to 1.2 U.S. dollars.
As for why the Zimbabwean dollar depreciated into waste paper later.
Well.
The reason is actually absurd. The locals felt that the colonists had robbed them of their wealth, so they took up guns and slaughtered the whites, robbed the wealth of the farmers, declared independence, and implemented self-management by blacks.
Then there is no more.
Anyway, the Zimbabwean dollar is so valuable that you can buy a lot of things, so just print more money to buy things, what a stupid job.
Yes, it's that absurd.
Now Zimbabwe has just been independent for ten years, but it has taken away the wealth accumulated by the white people for decades, and is still in the last prosperity. If these guys were not packaged and sold, then Shen Jiannan wouldn't be Shen Jiannan.
However, thinking of Zambia gave Shen Jiannan a headache.
Copper, the largest non-ferrous metal.
In ancient times, it was even defined as gold.
In modern industry, in terms of industrial practical value, it is still more practical than gold.
The development of any modern technology is inseparable from the metal copper.
As early as 20 years ago, the country spent countless manpower and material resources, and even sacrificed 69 experts, technicians and workers to help Zambia build a nearly 2,000-kilometer-long traffic bridge that runs through East Africa and Central and South Africa to the Tanzania estuary. main line.
But it is a pity that the investment may not be rewarded. In less than 20 years, Zambia is now the largest Chinese-exclusive country in Africa.
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Shen Jiannan picked up the phone on the table and dialed it.
Kuyou Jiwa. This is Akiyama's house. May I ask who are you looking for?
Anhui Michiko's voice came from the receiver. Although she couldn't see her appearance, Shen Jiannan's complicated heart couldn't help but calm down.
Michiko, it's me.
As soon as she heard Shen Jiannan's voice, Michiko Yasuhiro almost dropped the phone from her excitement. It has been almost half a month since returning to Japan, and this is the first time Shen Jiannan called her.
Simi Masai. Qiushan Jun, I didn't know it was you.
Oh. Michiko, isn't it time for class today? Why are you at home?
I was a little unwell, so I asked for a day off.
What's wrong?
It's okay, just a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Shen Jiannan became suspicious.
Yasuhui Michiko doesn't know how to lie, she falters and haws, and she knows she's not telling the truth as soon as she hears it.
Michiko. Is it really okay? If you are sick, you have to go for a serious examination. I will return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. If Japan is not convenient, I will take you to Hong Kong to have a look.
It's almost fine. It's really just a little uncomfortable.
Really?
Actually, it's just that my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Mr. Qiushan, don't ask me all the time, it will make people feel embarrassed.
.
For this reason, Shen Jiannan was helpless.
A woman's mind is like a needle on the bottom of the sea. She has everything, but she is shy about even a little thing.
After chatting for a while, Shen Jiannan got down to business, and Michiko Yasuhui gave the phone to Koji Yasuhui who had been waiting for a long time.
Father, Mr. Qiu Shan has something to tell you.
Akiyama-kun. Good afternoon.
An Huisang, it's morning here.
Ah. Haha, I'm so sorry, I forgot the time difference.
It doesn't matter.
.
Miss Lu believes that Lucheng in southern Fujian Province is more suitable for us in terms of geographical location. I also went to investigate last week. Although Lucheng does not have the advantage of Dongguan to Hong Kong, it is more convenient to travel to and from Osaka and Tokyo than Dongguan, which is very suitable. The export of Daiichi Department Store. However, Ludao is a bit inconvenient for the project location of Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd.”
The site selection for the Dalian project, I have already determined a few locations, but the specific location, since you are going back to Huaxia, I will go with you to investigate again when the time comes.
.
Listening to An Huihao'er's report on his work in the Italian market and China projects, Shen Jiannan nodded in satisfaction.
An Huihaoer is very measured, he never pretends to be an old father-in-law, and every time he talks about business affairs, he is very serious and cautious, with a completely business-like attitude. In fact, although Capital One has an absolute controlling stake in First Industry Co., Ltd., according to the previous agreement, there is no need for An Huihaoji to report these matters to Shen Jiannan. He has the right to operate and manage them himself.
In this regard, I have to say that the Japanese conduct themselves in the world is indeed more reassuring and comfortable than nepotism in China.
Of course, there is nothing to say about Yasuhiro Koji's ability at work. After all, he is a high-achieving student who graduated from the University of Tokyo, and has many years of experience in business management and some connections. He didn't appear to be in a difficult situation either.
One speaks, one listens.
After a long time, Shen Jiannan laughed twice and said: An Huisang. You can decide these things yourself, there is no need to tell me. I am calling this time mainly to ask, have you heard of Binzhong Tainan? people.
Hamanaka Yasuo? Oh, you mean Sumitomo Nonferrous Metals Trading Department Chief Trader?
An Huisang knows Binzhong Tainan?
I met Kawasaki at a reception once, and I'm not very familiar with it, but a trader in our risk control department, Okamoto Junkishi, used to be under Yasuo Hamaka, and the relationship is not bad. What's the matter?
There is nothing special. If it is convenient, you can ask this Mr. Okamoto to call me. I want him to help me make an appointment with Hamanaka Tainan.
Seeing Shen Jiannan's reluctance, An Huihaoji wisely didn't ask any more questions, and when he hung up the phone, he immediately called Junan Okamoto.
London.
Shen Jiannan wrapped himself in a bath towel and returned to the bedroom. Sophie Karonmei fell asleep, but she kicked the quilt away. Shen Jiannan couldn't help laughing because of his poor sleeping position.
Carefully stepping on the soft cashmere carpet with bare feet, after making sure that no one who fell asleep was awakened, Shen Jiannan gently pulled up the quilt, carefully covered Karonmei, and then turned off the light and walked to the fitting room.
It's not about love.
For a person like Shen Jiannan, he never believed in such a thing as love.
He just felt that as a man, he slept with someone and was very happy, so that's all he should do.
But for Sophie Calomey, who was supposed to be asleep, it was a different feeling. In this intriguing world, she experienced the care from a man other than her father for the first time. His tenderness made her eyes shimmer in the night.
How many people admired her young and beautiful face, and how many people stared at the wealth accumulated by the Kalongmei family.
But there has never been a man who is not obsessed with her exquisite face, proud figure, and rich net worth.
Thinking of this, Kalongmei showed an extremely complicated smile in the night. Since she met Katina when she was a child, she has been fighting with each other. Unexpectedly, even men will continue to fight.
Fate really likes to play tricks on people!
Shen Jiannan, who was changing his clothes, didn't know that Kalongmei was pretending to be sleeping. He took a suit of clothes that Armani had bought not long ago and put them on. Looking at himself in the mirror, he slowly tied his tie.
World War I and World War II left the world full of holes, and the main roads changed and turned continuously.
The strength of Germany has always been ranked at the top of the world, and the level of technology and industry is enough to rank in the top three even in the world. Even though the defeated country paid a huge amount of war compensation in World War I, it had the power to sweep across Europe in just a few decades.
Why?
From an industrial point of view, it is because Germany has the most advanced military research and development and production capabilities. But in terms of military materials, its core source is directed at the first non-ferrous metal - copper.
Before World War II, Germany was the country controlled by Europe's largest copper industry group.
In World War II, Germany had two little brothers, one who dared not fight anyone, and one who dared to fight anyone.
Those who dare not fight are naturally talking about Italy, while those who dare to fight are talking about Japan.
War against the Soviet Union, India, Burma, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaya, China, and even the United States.
Its madness and arrogance, from an objective point of view, is simply awesome.
But for things like war, what you fight is ammunition and weapons.
Bullets require copper.
Cannonballs require copper.
Core motor, requires copper.
As we all know, the development of military industry is inseparable from copper. This resource, like cotton, is a strategic main material in the development of modern industry.
The reason why Japan has the confidence to go to war with many Asian countries at the same time is because the industry has always stood at the top, and Japan and Germany have one thing in common, that is, they have a large amount of copper resources.
If one must trace its development trajectory, it can even be traced back to the Tokugawa Shogunate era.
In the 16th century, the Sumitomo family grew stronger due to the creation and operation of a copper mine on Shikoku Island, and became Japan’s officially designated copper supplier. The Tokugawa shogunate ruled Japan for more than two hundred years.
At that time, the head of the Sumitomo family proudly declared that Sumitomo Trading Company was the world's largest copper exporter.
