***************
"Follow this Betonio Noga V, we need to know everything about him and Yukira Mitsui."
Li Yifan felt that there must be a secret here, and it must be a very big secret, so he hurriedly said to Annie, and Annie nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will."
In the next two days, even God was helping. The new unemployment data released by the US government showed that in recent times, the US economy has recovered strongly, the employment rate has been rising, the unemployment rate has been declining, and the consumer confidence index has also continued to rise. In short, it seems that the US economy is in great shape.
So even if the oil prices are high, it seems that it will not affect the recovery of the US economy. Such data is also good news for world crude oil. Because the US economy is stable, the Federal Reserve will not move around, so the US dollar will not move around, so the price of crude oil futures has entered a stable adjustment period.
It was precisely because the oil price entered the adjustment period that the three evil pens did not move around, but planned to wait and see for a while before making a decision, which also gave Li Yifan a chance to breathe.
During this period, he just focused his energy on the Mitsui Yukira and the Betonio. He wanted to see what the hell were doing.
Kim Jingxi was very dedicated. She got up from Nabetonio's bed, turned around and threw herself into Yukira Mitsui's arms. She had just had a farewell friendly match with Betonio in the morning. Before she even had time to wash her body, she went straight to the street and waited for the city center. As soon as Mitsui Yukira came out of the company, the two of them had lunch together.
Then he went shopping. He went back to Yukira Mitsui's villa, and there was probably another pan-heart war. But thinking about it, this woman had just eaten Betonio's sausage in the morning and came to eat Yukira Mitsui's Yushu in the afternoon. He couldn't help but sigh that these two guys have a good appetite, and such women can use it.
Sure enough, Yukira Mitsui should have received a positive answer from that woman. It seemed that he was very happy, because that night, he actually took this woman out for a midnight snack and went to spend it again. This time he made a very generous move and even gave the woman a Porsche, which could be seen that he was in a very good mood.
The next day, he made an appointment with Betonio through this Jin Jingxi, and that night, they met in Mitsui's villa in Sentosa.
As a business person, Mitsui has nothing to do then. But as a politician, Betonio must pay attention to influence.
As the youngest member of the MP in the Philippines and a strong contender for the future president, although he still has a few years to train, from now on, he must pay attention to his words and deeds.
Although she is on vacation abroad now, Singapore and the Philippines are not far away from each other, and this is a country with extremely developed consultation.
If a person like him has any scandal here, maybe an hour later, it will make headlines in the Philippines. So he feels it is inappropriate to meet people like Mitsui in public.
Although the Japanese have not relaxed their penetration into the Philippines in recent decades. They have many industries in the Philippines, if they get too close to a senior representative of a Japanese chaebol in public, they will still be easily irresponsible.
So after thinking about it for safety reasons, he decided to meet him at Mitsui's home. The reason why he dared to do this was because he knew what these Japanese people wanted, and they would never endanger their personal safety.
The villa has been monitored by Annie Lee for a long time. Since they learned that Mitsui was going to meet Nabetonio here, they took advantage of the fact that Mitsui Yukira and the woman went out shopping to provide surveillance facilities in every corner of the villa.
So when Yukira Mitsui and Betonio appeared in the screen, Li Yifan must not be surprised. This time the meeting between the two will be broadcast live in front of them.
Li Yifan, Li Annie, and Heidi were sitting in the living room. The picture she wore from Mitsui Villa would be transmitted to the large LCD screen in front of them through the amplifier receiver outside. It was very clear and the audio effect was very good.
As soon as the two met, they communicated in broken English. Both of them had strong accents in English, but it did not prevent Li Yifan and the others from hearing clearly what these two guys were communicating.
Mitsui Yukira is a wonderful person. As soon as he started, he started to talk about Betonio, such as movie stars, and then some secrets of the American Vanity Fair, and then some experiences on Wall Street, etc. Then he praised Betonio's experience, saying that he was simply a genius.
It turns out that they really have some connections. Both of them are alumni of Haval. At this time, Mitsui praised Betonio and became even more numb, but Betonio seemed very useful. After a few words, Mitsui was a little confused.
Soon, the two people who were not originally acquainted got a distance, savored red wine, smoked cigars, and then laughed at the decades of life. From the beginning to the familiarity and then to the words, it took about half an hour in total.
This shows that Mitsui Yukira is so powerful in social means that even Li Yifan cannot help but admire him. He feels that he doesn't have the means of this guy.
However, just when he admired this guy's method, Mitsui suddenly changed the topic and began to talk about the Philippines' economy. Li Yifan, Li Annie, and Heidi were all shocked and felt that they were about to get to the point.
Betonio over there was still like he was intoxicated by the smell of fine wine, as if he didn't care much about what Mitsui was talking about. Several people couldn't help but curse the old fox.
Mitsui didn't care much, and she still talked about nonsense about economic mutual assistance and complementarity between Japan and the Philippines. However, soon the topic changed and she mentioned the laterite nickel ore in Indonesia.
Li Yifan immediately raised his ears and knew that Mitsui was a little fox. Now he saw that it was true, and he actually hit the Philippines' red clay nickel ore.
The Philippines and Indonesia are always the two largest nickel ore producers and important exporters worldwide.
Nickel is the main element in the production and manufacturing of stainless steel. According to the current development trend of the world economy, the demand for stainless steel will increase, and in this way, more nickel earth ore resources will be needed.
In terms of the reserve resources of laterite nickel ore, the Philippines is definitely one of the countries with the richest nickel ore resources in the world. Now they have proven nickel ore resources, while the undiscovered ones should have more than 100 million tons.
Moreover, their nickel ore are mostly mineral resources with relatively high nickel taste, and generally have high-grade nickel ore with a content of more than one-to-eight percent.
As early as the 1970s, their nickel earth ore resources were basically controlled by the Japanese, and almost 70% of the high-grade nickel ore resources they produced were exported to Japan.
It was not until the 1990s that the situation here changed after the Americans evacuated the Philippines, and some other countries and large companies began to deal with the Philippines one after another.
Later, the Philippines opened several nickel ores in several provinces, which met the needs of other countries in the world. However, even so, Japan is the main country for exporting their nickel ore.
In recent years, due to economic development, the demand for nickel, a metal has also increased significantly. Due to the lack of domestic supply, it can only be imported on a large scale from the Philippines.
Unfortunately, most of the nickel ore exported to the country by the Philippines are inferior nickel ore with low-grade content between 0.9% and 1.1%.
"Mr. Betonio, I heard that your country has plans to cancel FTAA recently. I wonder if this news is true?"
After tempted by Yukiro Mitsui, he finally raised a core question. At this time, Betonio, who had been pretending to be stupid, looked solemn, sat upright, put the red wine glass in his hand on the coffee table, picked up the cigar and took a sip, then turned to look at Mitsui.
"Mr. Mitsui, who did you hear?"
"Haha, who else should I tell you? Didn't the governor of Parawang Province Andal, Bangkok Da say that he would hand over this bill to the Congress for discussion?"
Mitsui said here and looked at Betonio again, and at this time the guy still looked expressionless.
Li Yifan was very strange. What exactly is FTAA? He turned his head and looked at Annie. At this time, Annie seemed to be on the phone.
But soon the laptop in her hand heard the sound of receiving a new email. She turned on the computer and took a look, then pushed the computer in front of Li Yifan and Heidi.
It turns out that this ftaa is the large-scale mining right of the Philippines laterite nickel ore, which is mainly open to foreign investment. The investment scale must not be less than 50 million US dollars, and it must be approved by the president before investment can be allowed.
