After winning the bid, it does not mean that Ouyang Zhenhua and the others have obtained the iron ore project in the Ashburton River, because it still needs to be approved by the Federal Government’s International Investment Approval Committee before it can take effect.

"Mr. Damu, you don't have to worry, or you don't have to be angry." After the bidding, Damuguang and Richard Cott finally had a chance to sit down and communicate face to face. Unfortunately, Damuguang was in a bad mood, his face was very long and he was so angry.

"How can I not be angry? I have paid so much and invested so much. As a result, I got nothing. You still told me not to be angry. You are the governor. How could you decide to bid before I was ready? Isn't this equivalent to giving up this project to them, hum." As soon as I think of these, Da Muguang was angry, slapped his thigh, and then pointed at Richard Cott.

"I can't do anything about this. No one tells you to be there. I can't discuss it with you. You are in China and Japan. You don't know that I am under a lot of pressure. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't get anything. This can't be blamed entirely." Richard Cotter also felt very wronged.

"Now, what have we got now? Ah, what have we got? All I got is that you took a lot of money." Da Mu Guang became more and more angry as he spoke.

"Mr. Omu, I have given you a lot before, for example, Pan Situo's project, I decided to give it to you Mitsui Products myself. Don't break the bridge when you cross the river." Kot stood up, and he was not feeling well.

"The Pan Situo project has only 80 million tons. Can it be compared with the Ashburton River project? Can it be compared? I am very angry now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Regarding the addition of Hongyuan Investment, Damuguang could guess that Cott was brought in to put pressure on him, but at that time his cooperation with Damuguang was only not reached on the conditions, and there was no problem with intention, so he didn't take it seriously. Now Cott shot himself in the foot, causing the fat sheep that almost got lost. Damuguang, who was in a frightened state, had to bring up this matter to satirize Richard Cott.

"Don't mention the past things." Cote knew he was ashamed and returned to his seat in shame. "This matter is not over yet. If they bid successfully, they may not be able to get this project. Sean, chairman of the International Investment Approval Committee, is my friend. We have a life-and-death friendship. When they report the development project plan, I will find a way to get Mr. Sean to suppress it."

"Oh, can he?" This is the best news for Okihiro at this moment, and his smart eyes rolled up again.

"It is not easy to obtain a project, but it is not difficult to stop it. Sean will have many excuses, such as worrying about destroying the local ecology, such as national security, and reviewing the source of funds, which are all open excuses." As soon as Damuguang became interested, Kurt restored his governor's confidence.

"Okay, that's good. We will continue to strongly support Mr. Cott, you run for election. As long as there is approval, you are elected again, we still have a chance." Da Muguang rubbed his hands together, and his heart became cold and warm again, and his face became very fast.

Richard Cotter, who was valued and respected again, raised his feet up, feeling contented, with a faint smile on his face and a faint contempt for the big wooden light.

You have Zhang Liang's plan, Ouyang Zhenhua and the others have also passed the ladder. Since Lawrence learned about the relationship between Sean and Richard Cotter, they did not intend to report to the International Investment Approval Committee immediately after winning. Instead, they decided to adopt the "drag-up technique" and plan to wait until the Australian election is over, and BHP Billiton will implement it in detail, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to themselves. They are authentic local companies and have much more room for maneuver.

Therefore, the Western Australian government repeatedly urged them to cooperate with the report as soon as possible. Every time Ender came out to block the problem and took all the problems into his own. Either the information was not prepared or there was a problem with the bank account. If it was Hongyuan Investment like this, then Cote happened to use this as an excuse to place the charges for them and finally recover the project. However, the one that had the problem was BHP, which made Cote difficult to settle the charges. Otherwise, BHP would definitely rebound, which would also affect his election situation. It would not be that they would not report it, but it was just a few days to delay the project. Is it necessary to recover the project?

Richard Cotter is not easy to do.

1996 was a year of general elections, and many countries were holding elections. Australia and the United States would elect a new government this year, but it was a coincidence that the time was decided in November. Lawrence invited Chen Kangjie to attend his last grand gala in Melbourne in early November, the last weekend before the general election. Chen Kangjie agreed, but his troubles came.

Lawrence has a friendly attitude towards China, so he proposed to implement a multilateral friendly diplomatic policy in his election program, which makes Americans feel uncomfortable.

Australia has always been a staunch ally of the United States. Among Western countries, they are closer to the United States than France and Germany. Moreover, Australia's geographical location is very critical and important. It is located between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is the largest country in the vast waters connected by these two major seas. It is also close to Southeast Asia and plays an important role in the United States' influence in East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

Therefore, the Americans are a little irresponsible about Lawrence's diplomatic bias. From their own interests, the Americans still hope that Australia can stick to the Australian-US alliance and stand firmly with the United States, rather than implementing a strategic policy of multilateral friendship.

Americans do not want Lawrence to win the general election. They also want the Conservative Party to continue to rule in order to further consolidate the cooperation relationship between Australia and the United States. At the same time, they do not give the rising China a greater geopolitical space and raw material supply chain. Although they do not recognize it, the United States actually gradually turned China into a future imaginary enemy since the end of the Cold War, thus forming one blockade after another around China, compressing China's development space and military activity space as much as possible.

On the other hand, Australia is of great significance to China. There are too many countries around China that stand on the side of the United States. One reason is that they have more or less conflicts with China. Whether historical, territorial or ideological, the two allies we have developed are still very poor countries. Secondly, because of their vigilance for China's development and concerns about its security after its development, they have also run into the arms of the United States.

In this situation, we need friends, especially those of Western countries and neighboring countries, in order to expand our strategic activity space. Australia just occupies such a dual identity, close to the South China Sea and is also a developed Western country. In addition, Australia has rich agricultural and mineral resources, which can help domestic economic development. Therefore, the senior management hopes to find a breakthrough to deepen their relationship with Australia. Lawrence's campaign and Chen Kangjie's joining provide such an appropriate opportunity. Otherwise, the country would not have leaked Chen Kangjie's identity to Lawrence.

The news that Chen Kangjie agreed to attend the Lawrence campaign event soon reached President KLD's ears.

For the long-term interests of the country, KLD does not want Lawrence to be elected. Even if Lawrence does not intend to change the basic exchange policy of the Australian-US alliance, the two countries, KLD still does not want the Australian power to get too close to China.

Even if KLD does not want Lawrence to be elected, he will not say it openly. This is not a matter of interfering in or not interfering in other people's internal affairs, but from the perspective of the allies, he cannot speak, otherwise it will arouse disgust and rebound from the Australian people and Lawrence.

If he is openly opposed, then KLD plans to take a secret method. They all know what kind of person Chen Kangjie is. He just won several extremely important gold medals at the Atlanta Olympics, which has great influence and appeal among ordinary people, especially young people.

Americans who are accustomed to elections know very well that as long as Chen Kangjie goes, even if he doesn't say anything, it will greatly enhance Lawrence's momentum and promote many voters. Chen Kangjie has no bad shortcomings or character that can be provided to Lawrence's competitors for criticism. He is too perfect and amazing. He is both civil and military, and people will have a blind illusion about him.

According to the current statistics of local Australian polling agencies, Lawrence has not yet achieved an overwhelming approval rating among voters, and he is even 3.5% less than the current ruling Conservative candidates. After all, he has not been active in the forefront of politics for several years and his popularity is a little worse.

However, Chen Kangjie's participation may change this situation. Moreover, Lawrence's approval rating has been rising in the past month. The secret destructive action taken by the United States is to pretend not to know about this matter. Then the KLD President invited Chen Kangjie to the United States as a guest, and also attended his last campaign rally in Wisconsin in early November.

Recently, the idol storm caused by Chen Kangjie in school has just subsided. Not to mention that he is just a person, even a god, if he is often seen, it will have common effects.
