Chapter 1858: Competitors

Xiao Yunfang agreed and said: "It's a pity that our boss's energy is all put into industry."

Not knowing what she thought of, Yuan Wanqi shook her head.

"Once the Mexican financial crisis breaks out, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe will definitely be affected, and even Asia will find it difficult to stay out of it. Our Xiangjiang, as the financial center of Asia, definitely won't be able to run away either. We must also be prepared for this.

In addition, contact Jian Dong International. They also sent people to Mexico, so exchange information with them. Also, for shorting Sony, we must complete the layout before June and must finish before September, and then we will put all our energy into Mexico."

Xiao Yunfang said: "I will contact Jian Dong International right now."

"Hmm!" Yuan Wanqi nodded: "Notify the Mexico office to keep a close eye on Mexico's economic and policy changes."

"Alright!" Xiao Yunfang agreed and turned to leave.

Yuan Wanqi picked up the coffee that had already become a bit cold, drank it all, and then got up and left the office, coming to the reception room.

"Mr. Qu, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"It doesn't matter!" Qu Yunzhe smiled slightly: "President Yuan, our time is very precious, so let's not say polite words."

"Good!" Yuan Wanqi sat down: "I reported to headquarters last night and received a piece of news that is not very good for you."

The corners of Qu Yunzhe's eyes jumped violently, and his heart rose to his throat, but the expression on his face did not change.

"For me, no matter whether this news is good or bad, the final result is the most important."

"You are very right." Yuan Wanqi smiled: "The reason why headquarters asked for 78 million US dollars is because the British Altona Rare Earth Company is also very interested in the shares of China Wufeng Mining.

And, as early as a week ago, they already contacted headquarters, and formal negotiations will be held tomorrow, and the price offered exceeds 50 million US dollars."

Qu Yunzhe's heart, which was hanging, suddenly fell to the ground, and a smile appeared on his face.

A fictional competitor used to increase bargaining chips—he had done such things himself.

Seeing the smile on Qu Yunzhe's face, Yuan Wanqi immediately understood what he was thinking.

"Mr. Qu doesn't believe it?" Before Qu Yunzhe could answer, Yuan Wanqi continued: "Rare earth elements are called industrial gold. Mr. Qu should understand this point.

And China's rare earths contain many rare elements that other countries' rare earths do not have. Therefore, when Altona Rare Earth Company knew that we held shares in a Chinese rare earth company, they directly offered a price that headquarters couldn't refuse."

"President Yuan!" Qu Yunzhe didn't believe it at all: "I came with very high sincerity. Let's talk straight."

Yuan Wanqi sighed: "It seems that Mr. Qu still doesn't believe it, because Altona Rare Earth Company gave an investigation price of 50 million US dollars. Headquarters thinks it can be negotiated to 60 million, so headquarters offered Mr. Qu a price of 78 million US dollars.

If you don't believe it, you can go to the UK and talk directly to headquarters. After all, an acquisition negotiation of tens of millions cannot be completed in a day or two, and I also believe that Mr. Qu has the strength to compete with Altona Rare Earth Company."

Qu Yunzhe's brows furrowed. Could it be that what this woman said was true and not a negotiation strategy?

Yuan Wanqi said helplessly: "Mr. Qu, I hope you make a decision as soon as possible, because once headquarters starts negotiations with Altona Rare Earth Company, even if you are willing to pay 78 million US dollars, you may not be able to get it."

"Why?" Qu Yunzhe really didn't understand: "Could it be that Altona Rare Earth Company will offer a higher price?"

"Of course not!" Yuan Wanqi shook her head: "Mr. Qu, your businesses are all in the United States. You can be so successful, besides having strong capabilities, the dangers involved should be clearer to you than to me, right? Do I need to say more?"

Qu Yunzhe stopped talking and fell into deep thought.

Yuan Wanqi got up and poured a glass of water for Qu Yunzhe: "Because we have yellow skin and black eyes and speak Chinese, even if headquarters earns a few million less, they will sell the shares of Wufeng Mining to Altona Rare Earth Company."

Yuan Wanqi also poured herself a glass of water and then sat down: "Although I was born and raised in Xiangjiang, I will never forget that I am Chinese. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can buy the shares of Wufeng Mining."

After finishing, Yuan Wanqi checked the time: "How about this, you go back and consider it, and have someone investigate whether Altona Rare Earth Company has such an acquisition plan.

With your strength and connections, investigating these shouldn't be difficult. As long as an agreement is reached before we get off work tonight, it will be fine."

Yuan Wanqi had said it to this extent, and Qu Yunzhe already believed it eighty percent, but he had always been cautious.

"I believe President Yuan's words, but the price of 78 million is too high, and I can't make the decision. I have to go back and report to the board of directors. Before you get off work tonight, there will definitely be feedback."

Yuan Wanqi sent Qu Yunzhe out the door, watched him get into the elevator, and returned to her office with a smile on her face.

"The boss registers or acquires companies all over the world, and this time it finally has a place to be useful."

After Qu Yunzhe returned to the hotel, he immediately asked his assistant to investigate the British Altona Rare Earth Company, and there must be a result before three o'clock in the afternoon."

Qu Yunzhe believed in money above all else and didn't believe in anything else, not family or love.

In his eyes, family and love were all connected by money.

If he hadn't done well with the foreign companies, he wouldn't have family.

If he didn't have money, even fewer women would follow him wholeheartedly.

Therefore, he didn't think investigating Altona Rare Earth Company was very difficult.

Although the time was a bit tight, as long as there was money, these were not problems.

But what he didn't expect was that in just over an hour, the investigation results were placed in front of him.

The secretary was a very sexy and beautiful foreign girl, about 1.8 meters tall.

"Boss, Altona Rare Earth Company is an old-brand company established twenty-five years ago. A year ago, it acquired 27.6% of the shares of Lanling Mining and became the second-largest shareholder of Lanling Mining.

This acquisition of shares in China Wufeng Mining is also a fact. According to the feedback from there, Altona Rare Earth Company quoted 50 million US dollars."

Qu Yunzhe looked at the information in front of him, and there was still a bit of doubt in his heart.

Involving an acquisition of tens of millions of US dollars, Altona Rare Earth Company actually didn't keep it confidential.

Otherwise, even if they paid more money, it would be impossible to get the results so quickly.

However, doubt was doubt, but the matter of Altona Rare Earth Company acquiring Wufeng Mining shares definitely couldn't be fake.

"Prepare the car!" Qu Yunzhe got up and walked out: "Go to Qiu Dongfang."

He was really a bit anxious now. If Altona Rare Earth Company got the shares.

He had no doubt that the Ganzhou government would definitely choose to cooperate with Altona.

Plus Tang Lin and Zhang You and the others, the shares in his hands definitely couldn't be kept.

By then, he would be kicked out, having worked in vain, and everything would become empty.

And this time, it was the only chance for their Qu family to enter the rare earth industry. If they missed it, there wouldn't be another one in the future.

Therefore, if the Qu family wanted to enter the rare earth industry, they had to grasp this opportunity and had to get the shares in Qiu Dongfang's hands.
