Regarding Rich¡¯s donation of 100 million US dollars, although it was originally said to be donated for the miners¡¯ silicosis, in actual operation, there is actually a big problem, that is, uneven distribution.
No matter which government it is, there are countless places where money needs to be spent. Without this money, it would be over for everyone. But now that there is suddenly a huge sum of 100 million US dollars, if it is only invested in the prevention and treatment of silicosis, no one will do so.
Is the prevention and treatment of silicosis important? Of course it is, because it is related to the lives of millions of miners. However, there are too many important aspects. In terms of disease prevention and treatment, there are at least hundreds of diseases that are not less effective than this disease. . Not to mention education, national defense, public security and other aspects that require money.
Hef arrived two days before Jonas. In these two days, he received invitations from many departments. All of them had only one purpose, which was to
Get a share of this funding. Hef only had the power of supervision, but not the power of distribution, so he did not dare to accept any invitations and waited for Jonas to come and make a decision.
After listening to Hef's words, Jonas also found it very difficult, but he had to have breakfast with Mette, so he didn't waste much time and said: "I came to Chile this time, except for the signing ceremony. In order to allocate this fund. I think that after the signing ceremony is over, I will definitely receive many invitations. But we must keep one principle in mind. That is, this fund was negotiated by Minister Bachelet with us, so, This fund will be distributed by Minister Bachelet. No matter how she distributes it, we have no objection. You can spread this decision and let everyone go to Bachelet to talk about it."
Huff said: "Distribution power is power. This is the best moment for us to expand our influence in Chile. How can we leave it to the other party for distribution?"
Jonas did not pay attention to his doubts and said: "Even if it is left to Bachelet to allocate this fund, it does not mean that we have lost this power. In fact, we cannot attach too much importance to the influence at the bottom, as long as By maintaining a friendly relationship with the higher-ups, our influence can still penetrate easily. On the contrary, if we hold on to this power and directly spread our influence to the lower levels, we will arouse the suspicion of the upper-level people."
Hef nodded and said: "I understand. Jonas, I'm afraid you will be very busy today, but I still hope you can leave some time for me and we can make arrangements."
¡°That¡¯s what I was thinking too.¡±
Yannick entertained Hef, and Jonas went to the restaurant to meet Mette. Daniel Met is the head of the copper management department of Glencore. He is a Spaniard. After the listing of Glencore a few years later, he became the fourth richest man in Spain with a net worth of US$4 billion. But at this time, he is still just an unknown figure. This is also a common problem of everyone in Gannengke. They work wholeheartedly and never accept interviews. Even though they are all millionaires, they keep a low profile and are not known to others. known.
From the Ritchie era to the current Glasenberg era, Gannon has experienced three generations of leaders, but all their operations are hidden under layers of fog. Because of their non-disclosure, no one knows their funds. The mobilization, methods of doing things, and the operation of the black box are even more unknown. This is what they are most criticized for.
If other companies pay bribes, or are suspected of paying bribes, it can be reflected just from the mobilization of funds. As a private company, Glencore does not disclose its accounts so that no one can know how it does things. When Glencore went public a few years later, I'm afraid there was pressure in this regard, because it also amounted to unfair competition.
Although Mette is now a millionaire, in a world where only half of the people in Glencore are millionaires, his assets are not particularly outstanding. Only a few years later, Glencore re-allocated shares and went public. After that, it was only after he owned the management stock as a key manager that it soared.
Jonas¡¯s current working relationship is still with the American Division of Ganenko¡¯s Mineral Department. It is said that he is a direct subordinate of Mette, because the American Division is Mette¡¯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 too long to communicate about several major management positions after the company was established, and then went to the signing ceremony together.
Among the four companies that cooperated this time, Xstrata is a long-established mining company with rich development experience and excellent professionals, Skolco is a state-owned mining company in Chile with rich human resources, and Ganonco is The world's largest traders, all three of them have their own advantages.
Only Jonas and his son have the right to participate in the company because they are copper explorers, but within the company??, they are destined to belong to fringe forces. Jonas doesn't care how much power he gets within this mining company. Cooperative development and shared interests are all he hopes for. Being able to participate in this game together already makes him very satisfied.
¡° If they hadn¡¯t discovered a large copper mine like this and wanted to join it, it would have been even harder than climbing to the sky. With this foundation, an interest group was formed with the three of them. Only in the future can we explore for more minerals without fear of others taking away the development rights.
After all, it is an investment of six billion US dollars. Although President Escobar did not come in person because he was not in the country, he arranged for a special envoy to come. The signing venue was arranged with great grandeur, and almost all major leaders from relevant Chilean departments came to join in the fun.
The chairman of Scott and Xstrata also attended the signing ceremony in person. After the establishment of the new company, Skolko will be appointed as the chairman and Xstrata will be appointed as the general manager. Glencore has no interest in the specific operations of the company. They only want to control the sales of ores and copper products. So they only controlled the sales department, and Brody served as the executive deputy general manager of the new company on Jonas's side.
The agreement stipulates that Glencore is responsible for the sales of all copper ores and copper products, as well as the associated silver ore and molybdenum ore. However, the associated gold mine has to process the refined gold to the Central Bank of Chile slightly lower than the market price. This is This is a regulation in almost most mineral-producing countries. After all, gold is a hard currency in the international market, and it is impossible for the government not to control it.
The four parties signed the agreement, which means that the development of the copper mine has entered the formal preparatory stage. In fact, the preparatory work is almost ready. The equipment, management personnel, and ordinary workers have all been arranged, and they are just waiting to start construction. . When Jonas handed over his contract to Elini, he knew that with this contract, UBS's loan of US$2.5 billion would no longer be a problem.
Among the many old men and middle-aged people, young Jonas has been enthusiastically sought after by the media. However, Jonas refused any interviews. Under his instruction, the company's publicity department also tried its best to downplay Jonas's existence when communicating with the media. After spending more than 30,000 U.S. dollars of Jonas's personal money and preparing red envelopes of several hundred U.S. dollars for each of these media people, his recent photos were not published as the main publicity image.
During the cocktail party after the signing ceremony, Jonas immediately received special attention from many Chilean government departments. This time, people did not have hundreds of dollars to spend. However, Jonas was smart enough to hand over the handling of donations to Bachelet and let her worry about this aspect.
There is only one person Jonas pays specific attention to, and that is Insfilboden of the Copper Commission's Investment Management Department. This old man dominates all the powers that want to invest in copper mines in Chile. Jonas also wants to come to Chile to develop mines. It is completely impossible to do without his support. And he is not that honest. To be honest, Jonas likes to deal with such people the most.
When the reception started, Elini took the opportunity to meet the old man. A Swiss gold watch was quietly transferred from the stack of documents that Elini handed him to his pocket.
For the few mines in his memory, Jonas does not have the energy to develop them yet. He must wait until his company's preparations are completed before he can officially develop them. However, it is necessary to make an emotional investment first.
While Jonas was going to the bathroom, Boden also found an opportunity to express his gratitude to Jonas for the gift. Although the place was a bit unclassy, ??the two of them had a very happy chat. When they were separated, Boden could already call Jonas by his first name. He said happily: "Next month I am going to Madrid to visit my youngest son who is studying there. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you then."
"Of course. Mr. Boden can tell me the time to arrive in Madrid in advance, and I will definitely take you to Spain for a good tour. I have a villa in Marbella, which is a good place for vacation." When talking about Madrid, Jonah Si's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but he didn't know why.
Boden laughed and said: "Jonas, I also have Spanish ancestry, not just you." The two people laughed.
After returning to the reception hall, Elini came up to her and said, "Minister Bachelet has sent someone over. I hope to meet you in the afternoon."
Jonas smiled and said: "I'm just waiting for her invitation. Call Hef and ask him to go with me to see Minister Bachelet in the afternoon." Ellini nodded and was about to leave. Nass added: "Check it out to see if there are any major events in Madrid recently. I mentioned Madrid just now. Why do I feel uneasy?"
Alini glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Spain has been busy with the general election recently."
"No, no, it's not this kind of thing. The thing that makes me feel uneasy is definitely not the election."
Elini nodded and said, "Okay, I will collect the latest current affairs news in Madrid."
