Everyone knows that Australia has three major mining groups: BHP Billiton, F&B Group, and Rio Tinto.
Mark Brown is Australia's largest private mining owner outside of the three major mining groups, with assets worth billions of US dollars.
This person was also involved in Li's acquisition of mining development rights in Australia.
Mark Brown has a lot of influence; his business extends beyond mining to include wine, hotels, ranches, and more.
This person contributed significantly when the Li Group chose Australian mining resources for its transformation.
The fact that the Lee family was able to obtain mining rights in Australia was the result of Mark Brown's mediation.
It is not only a mine owner, but also an intermediary service provider.
He acquires mines from the government or other mine owners, and then sells some mines that he doesn't like to make a profit from the price difference.
Half of the mineral resources in the Li Group were purchased from him, and the other half were acquired at high prices through auctions and tenders.
The mines that Mark Brown looked down on weren't unprofitable, but rather had long payback periods.
The Li family's mines are mainly concentrated in Western Australia, and they are all iron ore mines.
Two years ago, I bought a copper mine in South Australia from Mark Brown, partly because I wanted to expand my mineral portfolio, and partly because I was misled.
These two mines are relatively small, and their output is not high.
Both mines are adjacent to Mark Brown's mine, and the mining operations over the past two years have not made any money, only enough to cover the workers' expenses.
.
In recent years, due to changes in the international situation, America's suppression of China has shifted to the area of resource imports.
Australia, a junior partner, blindly follows China and opposes it, constantly raising the export price of ore.
China, of course, would not give Australia a friendly reception, reducing its imports of ore from Australia and instead increasing cooperation with other friendly countries.
Anti-Chinese sentiment has emerged in Australia, from the head of state to the general public, and Lee has also been affected to some extent.
It was at this critical juncture that the two small mines in Li's Nan'ao actually produced opal.
Opal is Australia's national gemstone and holds a prestigious position. Although not as precious as jade or diamonds, it is still considered a rare mineral.
Its value has been inflated by speculation; a piece of opal weighing just over two kilograms was once auctioned for more than 100,000 US dollars.
Hearing that opals had been unearthed at the Lee family mine, and that opals were also known as the national gemstone of Australia, Mike Brown's greed began to take hold.
You should know that a whole day's work mining copper might not be worth as much as a single piece of opal.
That's why Mark Brown started having wicked thoughts.
As a wealthy businessman, he certainly wouldn't personally get involved in causing trouble.
Initially, he arranged for people to incite Australian workers to strike, which led to clashes with Chinese employees and eventually escalated into vandalism.
The aim was to force the person in charge of the Li family to come out and negotiate, so as to ultimately take back the mine at a low price.
Mark Brown has done this kind of thing many times, targeting small mine owners.
What he didn't know was that Li Hongjun, as a Chinese and a Chinese martial artist, was behaving very aggressively.
The person in charge of the Nan'ao mine was Li Tao, Li Hongjun's nephew from Henan Province, who was beaten by the crowd and had several ribs broken.
Li Hongjun cured him with a healing pill and then led him to find all the troublemakers one by one.
If it's tough, give it a good beating, crush a piece of ore with one hand, and it'll never be able to get hard again.
He was stubborn, but after a good beating, he kicked a car so hard it landed 720 degrees on the spot, and then he wasn't so stubborn anymore.
Those who only talk the talk, if you slap them across the face, they won't even dare to accept compensation.
These people had an incomplete understanding of Chinese martial arts, and when they finally witnessed the methods of the mysterious Easterner, they were all dealt with perfectly.
.
Mark Brown had met with Li Hongjun quite a few times and really liked the Huaxia Tea black tea that Li Hongjun brought.
He always considered Li Hongjun a friend and even gave him some cigars and his own homemade red wine.
Foreigners usually address each other by their surnames, and he initially called Li Hongjun "Li".
To show my utmost respect, I even consulted Li Hongjun. Because of the pronunciation issue, I started calling him "Hongjin Li" from then on.
Mark Brown, who had always considered Red Gold Li a friend, suddenly found his friendship shattered when opals were unearthed at the mine.
Greed led him astray, inciting evil and causing him to extend his dark hand.
They call you brother, but stab you in the back.
Mark Brown thought it would be a quick deal; the contract was ready, and he was just waiting for Red Gold Lee to come to him.
He had been waiting for "Red Gold Li" to come and negotiate, but what he got in return was Red Gold Li's ruthless methods.
As a native, Mark Brown has spent so many years, spent so much money, and supported so many people, only to be humiliated.
Of course, he couldn't just give up like that, and the second round of the contest began.
He hired several groups of well-known local gangsters to deal with Li Hongjun, but none of them returned.
Among them, Best, who claimed to be the head of the Sydney Mafia, sent several men who were seriously injured, but they dared not call the police.
This guy came knocking on my door demanding compensation. I paid him 100,000 Australian dollars to do something, but he didn't get it done, and now he's asking for 5 million dollars in compensation.
The reason was that Mark Brown did not inform them that the mysterious Easterner knew kung fu, which caused heavy losses to their core members.
Mark Brown, backed by his congressman uncle and operating outside the rules, is certainly no saint.
After several rounds of negotiations and clashes, Best's mafia was crippled.
Although this Best wasn't very strong, he was incredibly good at escaping. He was cornered several times, but managed to get away.
In the end, he was constantly harassed and shot in the back by Best.
Left with no other option, Mark Brown hired a dark web assassin to get rid of Best.
Mark Brown was impressed with the Dark Web Killer's abilities and paid him again to help deal with Red Gold Li.
.
Mr. Li Hongjun, you should have known that someone was sabotaging you behind the scenes.
After dealing with these so-called gangsters, they already knew that Mark Brown was the one behind it all.
Subsequently, the Clifton Police Chief arrived with two officers, saying they wanted to investigate several missing persons cases.
Without any evidence, the chief, named Smith, gave a warning and left.
Li Hongjun harbored deep hatred for Mark Brown, who was all smiles to his face but ruthless behind his back.
As expected, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. They actually managed to get both the righteous and the villainous to come and cause trouble, showing absolutely no martial ethics.
Since he started practicing martial arts, he has become quite indifferent to business matters.
In particular, Li Mu's indifferent and uninterested attitude towards running the business made him want to back out.
If it weren't for his own brothers and nephews following him, he would have already planned to sell the mine.
If Mark Brown were to act openly, he wouldn't mind transferring the business; the price would be negotiable, as long as he didn't lose money.
However, this unethical fellow was also incredibly despicable, trying to force him to submit through vulgar means.
That's really wishful thinking. Is the Red Golden Plum made of mud?
That day, he was sitting in his study, preparing to go find Mark Brown and crush his egg yolk.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew toward him in his study.
Li Hongjun's eyes sharpened, and with the keen reflexes of a martial artist, he tilted his head and dodged the incoming bullet.
The bullet struck the bookcase, sending wood chips flying and a wisp of smoke rising from the bullet hole.
"bump!"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a door being kicked came from downstairs.
He got up and prepared to go downstairs to see who had the audacity to provoke him.
"Bang!"
Another shot rang out, the bullet whistled through the air, and Li Hongjun fell to the ground and rolled over.
Before he could even get up, two foreigners, one in black and one in white, entered the study.
The black man, holding a long gun, aimed it at him and slowly walked over.
The white man casually twirled a butterfly knife in his hand, following behind the black man.
Just as he was about to jump up, Old Black, disregarding all martial ethics, opened fire.
"Smack!"
Instead of a bullet, the spear fired a syringe, which struck his neck.
A wave of weakness washed over him, his neck lolled to the side, and then that was the end of it.
