Simandu has a nickname in the international market, called "Australian Iron Ore Killer", which means that once Simandu is developed, it will have a huge impact on the price of iron ore exported by Australia.

This is why Rio Tinto won the exploration rights of this treasure pot as early as 1997, and then refused to develop it after it won the mining rights in 2006.

Anyway, Rio Tinto has a large number of high-quality Australian iron ore resources, so why should you fight yourself?

So no matter how Guinea urged, Rio Tinto was always calm. It was not until Guinea's regime changed in 2008 that it had to transfer No. 1 and No. 2 of the four mining areas of Simandu to Hebrew.

BSGR Group.

In 2010, after Guinea's current President Kong Dai came to power, he accused the BSGR Group of bribery during the process of obtaining mining rights and demanded that they return the mining rights.

Today, Guinea and BSGR are in a long and complicated negotiations and litigation, and both parties have brought the lawsuit to the Hague court.

What Li Rui had targeted before was these two mining areas that were in dispute.

If Li Rui does not interfere, the lawsuit will take another seven years before it will end with BSGR admitting defeat. After that, the "Win Alliance" participated by Huaguo Enterprises defeated the fourth largest iron ore in the 2019 bid.

The giant FMG has obtained mining rights in two mining areas.

Although the mining rights were won, it still did not mean victory. Until 2025 when Li Rui traveled through time, the Ximangdu iron ore project was still under development, and Huaguo's enterprises were still stymied by iron mining giants.

Li Rui doesn't want to waste another seven years. He wants to deal with Simandu now. He wants to let ships filled with iron ore sail from the port of Xifeizhou to Huaguo before 2019!

Even if he paid a huge price for this, he would spare no effort!

Li Rui was thinking, and the phone was vibrating, which was the news received by Credit Suisse.

When he opened it, Li Rui was stunned.

In Xingrui Games' Credit Suisse group, Sun Yaxun posted a crying expression, followed by a sports news that had just been released.

[Xiaguo women's tennis player and Grand Slam winner Zhao Na lost to Slovak Hantuhova 1:2 in the first round of tennis women's singles at the just-concluded London Olympics, and was eliminated in an upset]

Zhao Na is the spokesperson of Xingrui Games. She has been on the stage when "The Legend of Sugar", "Defend Tomatoes" and "Miracle Escape" were released, and all three games have launched activities jointly with Zhao Na.

In the last Yanzhou Olympics, Zhao Na played a brave job at home and reached the semi-finals, creating the best results of the women's tennis players in the Olympics.

Last year, Zhao Na won the Australian Open championship again and won the first Grand Slam singles championship trophy in Huaguo and even Yazhou!

At that time, Xingrui Games attracted a large number of players who love sports with the help of the craze brought by Zhao Na.

Before this London Olympics, Xingrui Games launched several tennis-related activities. It is conceivable that if Zhao Na can get good results or even win gold medals, the game will also gain greater exposure.

Unfortunately, Zhao Na was eliminated in the first round.

Li Rui was stunned for a while when he saw this news, he thought about it carefully but couldn't remember anything.

Recently, he has been focusing on his children and Credit Suisse Payment, and has ignored Xingrui Games. He can't remember Zhao Na's results in the London Olympics in her previous life...

I can only say that rebirth is not omnipotent. What should I not remember or what I should not remember, and even if I think about it, I can’t escape it.

Fortunately, Xingrui Games signed several new athletes under the strong advocacy of Li Rui last year, but did not bet on Zhao Na.

Li Rui immediately replied: [Tell me about Zhao Na, victory or defeat is common in military affairs, Xingrui Games' support for her will not change. You can hold an event in the game and give some benefits to players as a way to everyone's hearts.

Compensation.]

Sun Yaxun immediately posted a picture of his thumbs up and said: [Boss is so generous!]

Li Rui said again: [You should pay more attention to Ye Shiwen, Lei Sheng, Zou Kai, and Zou Shiming.]

Sun Yaxun: [I understand that the project team has prepared based on their project situation. If someone wins the championship, they will launch related activities immediately. But I don’t understand one thing, why don’t we sponsor Sun Yang?]

Sun Yang is the double champion of the World Championships and is also the most popular among the male athletes participating in the Olympics this time. Many people expect him to show his strength on the world's highest stage to win glory for the country. Many companies even went to the world half a year ago.

Sun Yang extended an olive branch, hoping to sign an endorsement contract with him.

At that time, Sun Yaxun also suggested that Xingrui Game sign Sun Yang, but Li Rui rejected it.

Sun Yang is indeed a genius, but he is also a double-edged sword. He can bring temporary exposure to Xingrui games, but it will also cause trouble due to personal life problems.

Li Rui still prefers athletes who are simpler off-field, not to mention that Sun Yang is very valuable, so he has eliminated the scope of consideration.

Ye Shiwen, Lei Sheng, Zou Kai and Zou Shiming are also athletes who have achieved good results at this Olympic Games. The endorsement fee of the four people is less than half of Sun Yang's, and the influence it brings is not inferior, and it is the best cost-effectiveness.

Choice!

After chatting with Sun Yaxun, the door was knocked.

Li Rui hurriedly ended the conversation, went over and opened the door, and saw Yu Na and Shao Xuan standing at the door.

Yu Na said: "Mr. Lewis and Professor Turner are here."

Li Rui hurriedly said, "Wait for me to wash my face!"

Fifteen minutes later, in the hotel's restaurant private room, Li Rui met former Congressman Oliver Lewis and William Turner, a professor at the Colorado School of Mining.

The two of them are the main figures responsible for lobbying Guinea. Lewis has a wide range of connections in the magnesium political circle and the Philippines, and plays a crucial role in the lobbying process.

Professor Turner uses his extensive expertise to provide consulting services to the entire lobbying and negotiation process.

Although the public relations fee they asked for was not expensive, it was not expensive at all compared to their contributions.

Capitalism may be bad in this way or that, but at least it is a little better. Other experts provide professional services when they collect money, unlike experts in Huaguo who are talking nonsense while getting their wages!

After a few greetings between the two sides, Lewis said bluntly: "Things have changed. According to the information we inquired, Kong Dai is so anxious to see you, maybe because other companies have intervened in the Simandu project!"

Li Rui narrowed his eyes and asked, "Which side? BHP Billiton? Vale? Or FMG?"

In addition to these three world-class iron ore giants, Li Rui does not think there are other companies that are qualified and capable of intervening in Simandu.

Lewis said with a strange expression: "It's not them, it seems that they are also from Huaguo's enterprises."
Chapter completed!
