Chapter 513

"Welcome to South Africa, Mr. Williams!" Gary Tennyson held out his hand warmly.

Henry smiles and shakes hands with him. "Thank you very much, Mr. Gary Tennyson!"

Gary Tennyson smiles and then begins to introduce Henry to a group of people behind him, all of whom are senior government officials in South Africa. Henry shook hands with them one by one. After that, at the invitation of Gary Tennyson, he took his presidential car and went to the hotel.

……

South Africa is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, known as the "Rainbow country". Its land area is 1219090 square kilometers, twice the size of Madagascar. South Africa, with a population of only 45 million, is now Africa's second largest economy. Nigeria, with a total population of 173 million, is the largest oil producer and exporter in Africa. However, although South Africa is the second largest economy in Africa, it is the most developed country in Africa. Its per capita GDP is five times that of Nigeria, especially in finance, law, communication, energy and transportation. It also has complete hardware infrastructure and stock exchange market, and deep well mining and other technologies are in the leading position in the world.

In addition, South Africa ranks first in gold and diamond production in the world.

Madagascar is close to South Africa, a relatively developed country, which is conducive to the trade development and cooperation between the two countries. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is naturally an important thing at present to have a good relationship with South Africa. In addition, South Africa and Madagascar look across the sea, and there is no territorial dispute. Therefore, South Africa is one of Madagascar's important allies based in Africa.

South Africa is the only country in the world with three capitals: Tswana, the executive capital, Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital. Henry is now in Cape Town, the legislative capital. Cape Town is the second largest city in South Africa, with beautiful natural scenery, and the famous Cape of good hope is also located in this city.

Gary Tennyson made a reservation for Henry at the Hilton Hotel in the heart of Cape Town. When they arrived at the hotel, it was almost evening. That night, Gary Tennyson invited Henry to dinner, and Henry naturally agreed.

Only Henry and Gary Tennyson were on the table, and the rest were waiting outside the private room.

They eat and talk.

But at this moment, Gary Tennyson's heart is very hot, because less than a month, Henry invested 100 billion US dollars in British shipyards, energy and telecommunications industry, which really shocked and envied Gary Tennyson. He thought that if Henry could invest in South Africa, it would play a great role in the development of South Africa. What's more, the investment of Henry Williams has become the wind vane of investors. Which country he invests in will attract more investors.

"Mr. Williams, what business are you going to invest in South Africa?" Gary Tennyson couldn't help asking.

"South Africa is a big mining country, I plan to invest in mining industry!" Henry replied with a smile.

South Africa is very close to Madagascar. Mining here can reduce transportation costs and time costs, and South Africa's labor is also very cheap.

Gary Tennyson nodded clearly. Most of the companies that come to South Africa to invest are mining companies.

Henry then said with a smile: "in addition, I am also more interested in South Africa's financial industry and telecommunications industry! Mr. Gary Tennyson, could you tell me something about these industries? "

When Gary Tennyson heard this, he was very happy. Henry Williams took a look at the three industries in South Africa, and the investment will not be small!

"Well, Mr. Williams, I'd like to introduce to you the mining, finance and telecommunications in South Africa..."

Then, Gary Tennyson began to give Henry a detailed introduction to these three industries. Gary Tennyson is worthy of the title of president and knows the situation in his country like the back of his hand. Henry had already sent people to do an investigation before he came. Combined with the introduction of President Gary Tennyson, he now has a clearer understanding of South Africa.

"Your Excellency President Gary Tennyson, after listening to your introduction, I have more confidence in South Africa!" After dinner, Henry took Gary Tennyson to the door of the hotel and said, "so, I've decided to invest in South Africa, and the investment amount should be at least 50 billion dollars!"

Gary Tennyson can't help shivering when he hears this

The next day, Gary Tennyson really saw what it was to be rich. More than 20 large mining companies in South Africa received the invitation letter from Henry Williams on the same day.

"It's just the next day that we invited more than 20 mining companies to buy. Isn't that an exaggeration..." Gary Tennyson was stunned.

Andrew Mining: "rich reed, has your company received an offer from Henry Williams?"

"Got it!" The man, rich Reid, said, "it's not just our two companies. As far as I know, all the top mining companies in South Africa have been invited by Henry Williams. As for those companies that haven't received the offer, it should be Henry Williams who looks down on them

"Lying trough, this TM is also too local tyrant!"

"Ha ha, money is so willful! What's more, all the assets of our companies add up to US $20 billion to US $30 billion, which is probably nothing in the eyes of Henry Williams! "

"Wo RI, with his value, it's true..."

……

……

South Africa's weather is very good, especially Cape Town, belongs to the Mediterranean climate, sunny, moderate air humidity, most suitable for vacation here.

Henry closed his eyes slightly and lay under the sun umbrella for a leisurely rest while his secretary was reporting to him.

"Mr. Williams, we have jointly issued an invitation for acquisition to 25 mining companies. At present, 18 companies have agreed to negotiate!"

"Well, I see. Buy as many mining companies as possible!"

"Yes

Henri needs a lot of mineral resources to develop and build houses, public infrastructure, telecommunications, transportation and heavy industry in Madagascar. I'm afraid Williams mining can't satisfy the demand of Madagascar. Since South Africa is so close to Madagascar, it is natural to acquire as many South African mining companies as possible. As long as the scale goes up, the cost will come down! Henry now to buy mining companies, than in the future to buy Minerals from others a lot cheaper!

Underdeveloped countries also have the advantages of underdeveloped countries. For example, Madagascar now is almost a piece of white paper for Henry. Henry can build this country with his own imagination. Henry hopes to build it into a country more local than Dubai, and build all kinds of sci-fi buildings, or some exotic and explosive buildings, so as to attract tourists and investors and focus on the development of tourism in Madagascar. At the same time, vigorously support the development of finance, science and technology, entertainment industry, especially the development of high technology!

In Henry's cognition, only science and technology can strengthen the country!

At this time, Henry stood up from the reclining chair, stretched his body, asked the secret book: "is the investigation of MTN group in South Africa clear?"

"It is clear from the investigation that MTN company was founded in 1994, and currently operates in 21 countries in Africa and the Middle East. It is the largest telecommunications company in Africa and one of the top 500 companies in the world. The price may be a little high!"

"No matter how much it costs, the telecom company will give it up!" Henry's eyes are shining. He is determined to take the market of Africa. The founding of the people's Republic of China is just around the corner. If he owns MTN group, he will surely be able to play a significant role in Africa!

"Yes!"

"In terms of banks, do you have a goal?" Henry then asked.

"Think tank team thinks it can buy Standard Bank of South Africa!"

"Standard Bank of South Africa?" Henry couldn't help murmuring. He felt the name was very familiar... Henry suddenly remembered that in 2008, ICBC acquired 20% of Standard Bank of South Africa and became the largest shareholder. This news once made headlines in major financial media. When the pace of world economic development slows down, the African economy is developing rapidly. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has a good vision. It invested in standard bank earlier, thus entering the African market.

"Tell me something about this bank!"

"All right!" The Secretary standing next to Henry opened the document in his hand and began to say: "standard bank has a long history. At present, it is the largest commercial bank in South Africa and even Africa. The bank has 1051 branches, covering 18 African countries and major financial centers in Europe, America and Asia, and its business covers retail banks, banks and banks Companies and investment banking, life insurance and other fields, there are 46000 employees in the world. "

The Secretary stopped for a moment. "Mr. Williams, in fact, standard bank had a cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank. Standard bank was established in 1969, but in the same year it merged with Standard Chartered Bank to form Standard Chartered Bank. However, in 1987, Standard Chartered Bank sold its 39% stake, making Standard Bank of South Africa a complete bank of South Africa. "

"Ha ha, there is such a relationship..." Henry couldn't help but smile, then nodded to the Secretary, motioned him to continue.

"Standard Bank of South Africa's return on equity has been above 20% since 2001. According to the analysis of the think tank group, the development potential of standard bank is huge. With the prosperity and development of African economy in the future, its scale and efficiency will continue to expand, so it is very worthy of acquisition! In addition, Standard Bank of South Africa is one of the top 500 companies! The market value is about 18 billion US dollars! " Said the secretary.

"Well, then buy Standard Bank of South Africa!" Henry nodded.

There are Bank of America in American market, Royal Bank of Scotland in European market, Standard Chartered Bank in Asian market and standard bank in African market. With the existence of these four banks, banks with the "Williams" logo will open all over the world（ More chapters tomorrow)
