Feng Yu's words had calmed Kirilenko down. He had been worrying for nothing.
Kirilenko called the Rothschild Family, and the Rothschild Family told him not to worry. Vale had roped in a bunch of people, and they will not succeed.
But the Polar Bear Mining Group's acquisition of Rito Tinto had met with many obstacles. Many people felt China and Russia are behind this, and there is also the influence of politics.
BHP Billiton and Ritto are the same. Their headquarters are based in the UK and Australia, and Canada is also an important market. Simply put, they are all British countries and regions.
The British countries trade frequently with each other, and many laws are the same. It is much easier for these countries to do business, and their governments will not stop them. In fact, they will even help them.
Therefore, those countries would not object to BHP Billiton's acquisition of Li Tinto Group as it would be much easier to operate. Polar Bear Mining Group wants to acquire Ritto, and it will be much more complicated.
No matter if it is Russia or Hua Xia, they are not affiliated with the UK. The Queen of England does not have the authority to control these two superpowers. Although Russia had a good relationship with the United Kingdom during the Soviet Union era and traded frequently, they were not very close.
Hua Xia and the UK are the same. Both countries had fallen out over the Hong Kong incident. Although they had recovered a little, they are still not considered allies.
Although Ritto is a private company, its headquarters is in the UK, and its two main branches are in Australia and Canada.
If a Russian company were to acquire Ritto, will the headquarters have to relocate? Won't the taxes be given to outsiders?
Feng Yu had asked Kirilenko to invite the influential Rothschild Family in Europe to be the middleman. He hopes they can help with all the paperwork.
The Rothschild Family had considered the matter carefully before agreeing. Since they agreed, it means they are confident of this deal.
If this deal fails, they will not get a single cent, and all their efforts will be in vain.
Kirilenko promised the Rothschild Family that the price can be negotiated. As long as the price is reasonable, he can accept a premium. Anyway, he has an agreement with the Rothschild Family. The lower the price, the higher the commission.
The Rothschild Family discussed with Kirilenko. If Ritto is acquired, they can cooperate with BHP Billiton for many of their businesses.
It will be a fair cooperation. Both parties will own 50% of the company's shares and set up a joint venture. Their main business will be iron ore.
If they can cooperate with other mines, it will be even better.
Kirilenko does not understand why the Rothschild Family is asking this. I only asked you to help me with the acquisition, not to manage the company. I don't need to tell you how my company will develop in the future, do I?
But Kirilenko still wanted to discuss with Feng Yu and ask for his opinion. He remembered Feng Yu had said something similar before and wanted Feng Yu to explain to him what the Rothschild Family is thinking.
He did not discuss such an important matter with his assistants. He felt that his assistants were not as good as Feng Yu.
Feng Yu thought for a while and understood what the Rothschild Family is trying to do. He told Kirilenko to tell the Rothschild Family that they can cooperate with BHP Billiton and Polar Bear Mining Group for their iron ore business after they acquired Rito Tinto.
If they cooperated, both sides' costs could be reduced and profits could be increased. This was not a bad thing. Of course, if they wanted to cooperate, BHP would need to have a certain amount of capital.
For the iron ore business, BHP Billiton was naturally qualified, but for the gold and aluminum mines, BHP Billiton was not qualified. As for the other mines, BP Billiton had an advantage.
As for the aluminum industry, Feng Yu had agreed to cooperate with Hua Xia Aluminum. This way, Feng Yu will be the leader in the aluminum industry and be far ahead of his peers.
As for the gold mines, BHP Billiton is not good enough. If Freeport, Barrick, and the rest are willing to cooperate, they can negotiate. As for the other mines, BHP Billiton might not be interested in cooperating with them.
Kirilenko does not understand why Feng Yu is so interested in cooperating with BHP Billiton. Even if Feng Yu is interested, there is no need to tell the Rothschild Family. Could it be that Feng Yu wants to hire them to manage the mining group in the future?
Although this mining group is called Polar Bear Mining Group and is a subsidiary of Polar Bear Holdings, the major shareholder is Wind and Rain Holdings. If Feng Yu wants to take control of the mining group, Kirilenko could not say anything.
But Feng Yu will not interfere with the operations of the companies he is working with. Even if he wants to interfere, he should let Kirilenko know beforehand, and Kirilenko will not object. Why did he hire someone to manage the mining group in the future?
Luckily, Kirilenko is a straightforward person. He did not stand on ceremony with Feng Yu and asked him directly.
Feng Yu laughed and explained. "Brother Ki, don't you understand? The one stopping us from acquiring Ritto is not those shareholders. It's BHP Billiton."
"BHP Billiton had wanted to cooperate with Ritto, but Ritto had not agreed. That's why BHP Billiton wants to acquire Ritto."
"Now, we have promised to cooperate with BHP Billiton in the iron ore business after we acquire Ritto. This will satisfy BHP Billiton's requirements, right? Do you think they will still object to this? Will they not want to make more money? "
"If you are facing a Russian mining tycoon who wants to cooperate with you but does not want to cooperate with you, and a German company wants to acquire that Russian mining tycoon's company. Also, they are willing to cooperate with you and can help you make more money. What will you choose?"
"Of course, I will choose to make more money. I am not enemies with the Germans." Kirilenko replied without hesitation.
"That's right. BHP Billiton is like this now. What do you think they will choose? What do you think BHP Billiton will do if we encounter any resistance? "
Kirilenko's eyes opened wide. "Feng, are you saying that BHP Billiton will still help us to acquire this company?"
This is crazy. If we can't acquire or cooperate with them, we will let the other party's company change owners and work with the new owners.
"They might not be of much help to us, but they will not stop us from acquiring Ritto. Without them interfering, our chances of acquiring Ritto will increase by 10%! "
Feng Yu felt it is not wrong to hire the Rothschild Family. They are a well-known family in the mining industry, and they are one step closer to acquiring Ritto!
After chatting about this, Kirilenko asked Feng Yu. "Feng, is that done?"
