Chapter 725 Yulia and Ravi

When West African Mining Company finally signed an agreement with Rio Tinto, invested $20 billion in Rio Tinto, and obtained 12% of the company's shares, thus becoming their largest shareholder, the time had come to 2010.

Although Rio Tinto's headquarters is in London, their main business is in Australia. Therefore, during this period, Barron also attended the New Year's banquet held by Australia and met many politicians and mining bosses.

Of course, in terms of his public identity, Barron is one of the shareholders of West African Mining Company. This company registered in Colo is not a listed company, so the specific shareholder information will not be disclosed to the public.

And even if the shareholder information can be obtained, the complicated offshore company holdings will not be easily understood.

"Hammersley Iron Ore Co., Ltd., controlled by Rio Tinto, is the second largest iron ore producer in Australia. It has five production mines in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The current proven reserves are about 2.1 billion tons, and the company's annual iron ore production capacity is 55 million tons..."

Andrew Cole, CEO of West African Mining Company, told Barron:

"It is expected that after the completion of the Yandi mining project under construction, their annual iron ore production capacity will reach more than 65 million tons..."

Currently, Rio Tinto Group is the second largest mining group in the world, second only to BHP Billiton.

The company's total assets are divided by region, with 89% concentrated in Australia and North America.

Of these, their coal and iron ore account for 19% respectively, aluminum accounts for 17%, copper 16%, industrial raw materials 15%, gold and diamonds 5% each, and other 4%.

"China is currently Rio Tinto's fourth largest market in the world after North America, Japan and Europe, and it is also the fastest growing market. I believe that China will soon surpass other countries and regions..."

In the process of West African Mining Company's acquisition of Rio Tinto Group, the Chinese market is an inevitable topic. Andrew Cole whispered to Barron:

"Not only Rio Tinto, but BHP Billiton also hopes that we can stand with them and jointly negotiate with China on the selling price of iron ore."

Before this, China's purchase of iron ore from Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton was negotiated in a centralized manner. From some things Barron knew in his previous life, he understood that in this process, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton could use any means.

It's just that their asking price was too high before, and part of the iron ore and copper ore under West African Mining Company filled the gap needed by China.

One of the reasons why Rio Tinto is willing to let West African Mining Company join their shareholders this time is to pull this mining company with a rapidly growing scale of iron ore mining into their camp.

After all, if there is an opportunity to increase prices, these mining companies will naturally not let it go, these are all white silver.

"This is not a problem, we will follow the rules of the market to trade."

Barron said lightly.

He understood that after joining the WTO, China's initial integration with the international market was actually a little chaotic, and some tuition fees must be paid. Even if West African Mining Company can sell iron ore to it at a lower price, the scale of their own iron ore mining is limited. With China's increasingly exaggerated steel production, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

In this case, they still have to buy raw materials from the three iron ore giants BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale. In this case, West African Mining Company has no need to be the villain among suppliers.

And in the final analysis, now they have become Rio Tinto's largest single shareholder, so Rio Tinto can make more money, and a considerable part of the profit also belongs to West African Mining Company, so why bother with money?

For example, West African Mining Company has become a major shareholder of Rio Tinto, and for Barron, there is an additional benefit. That is, if the offer price is similar, the Peninsula Oriental Group, which he just acquired, can rely on this relationship to obtain a considerable part of Rio Tinto Group's shipping orders.

...

Before Barron left Melbourne for Grace Lavender Manor, he received Yulia Moore who came here.

Yulia came to Australia with work. At present, there is no suitable land acquisition in England. She came to Australia to help Barron buy some ranches in Australia and New Zealand for the Devonshire Family Trust Fund. These ranches will belong to Devonshire Ecological Agriculture Company, providing high-quality meat and dairy products for their Duke's Select Supermarket and Argos Retail Group.

"I'll go with you, Yulia." After hearing the conversation between Yulia and Barron, Catherine took the initiative to say to her: "I think the environment here is good, and I'm going to learn more about the ranch here. It's also good to buy a ranch and come here for vacation during the winter in London." Catherine Neville is now a wealthy woman with assets of hundreds of millions. There is one thing she has no doubt about, that is, she will not suffer any loss if she follows Barron, the Duke, to invest. Just like her current wealth, much of it has been expanded under Barron's advice. "Then I'll go with you, just in time to relax." Seeing Catherine say this, Tamaran Ecclestone was also somewhat moved.

These days of getting along have made her relationship with Catherine become even closer.

Knowing that Barron was about to go to Grace Lavender Manor to stay with Bonnie and the others for a while, in order to avoid boredom, Tamaran also planned to follow Catherine and Yulia to see those pastures, just like she said, too It's a bit of a break.

After all, Barron has arranged enough entourage to take care of them, so there is nothing to worry about whether it is safety or daily life.

"That's not bad. It just so happens that you don't have to be in a hurry. Yulia, just think of it as taking Ravi with you."

Brothers and sisters from Palestine, Lamy has now joined the DS Group and devoted a lot of energy to this operation against the Rothschild family...

This time when she came to Australia, Julia Moore brought her sister Ravi, who was on vacation, with her. After hearing what Barron said, she agreed very much and took this opportunity to show the little girl more.

It can be seen that Yulia is still very good to Ravi, and the relationship between the two is like a mother and daughter.

When she was adopted by the Devon Hill Charitable Foundation, her sister Ravi was just ten years old, and this year she is about to turn 15. She already looks tall and graceful. Standing together with Yulia, they are like sisters. generally.

Of course, Yulia is of Russian descent and relatively has a slender and fuller figure, while Ravi is of Arab descent and has a delicate face. It can already be seen that she is definitely a beautiful woman.
