Chapter 2045


    The overall living experience in the hot spring vi at the Champs Elys Spa Resort was much better


    compared to Thompson First. 2


    This vi was located on the mountainside with extremely beautiful scenery. The scenery was not


    only very excellent but most importantly, it was very peaceful and quiet here as the distance


    between each vi was very big, and there was a strong sense of privacy. 1

    Besides, although the price of the hot spring vi at the Champs Elys Spa Resort was about half the


    price 0 f the vi at Thompson First, the hot spring vi at the Champs Elys Spa Resort was actually


    muchrger in terms of construction and courtyard area. 1


    The housing prices in the city were very expensive, mainly because of the price of thend. Since


    the Champs Elys Spa Resort was located in the suburbs, thend price was much lowerpared


    to that of the city. 2


    ire really liked the environment here very much. For her, it had been a long time since she had


    had the opportunity to experience such a rxing and quiet life. 5


    Therefore, the family decided to take advantage of the New Year holiday to stay here for a few more


    days to rx. 1


    Loreen had been trying her best to invite ire and Charlie to visit her at Eastcliff, but ire was


    still hesitating. She felt that it would be very tiring for them to travel back and forth to Eastcliff.


    Furthermore, no matter how good someone else’s home was, it would still be much more


    comfortable and rxing to be living in her own house aspared to living in someone else''s


    home. Therefore, she was still a little hesitant.


    On the second day of the New Year, when Charlie and his family were still enjoying their vacation at


    the hot spring vi, Jasmine had already begun meeting with the senior management officials at


    Nippon Steel. 1


    The Moore family had only decided to get involved in steel manufacturing this time after Jasmine


    had put much thought and consideration into this matter. 1


    The steel manufacturing industry was the foundation for the development of the modern industry.


    Whether i t was light industry, heavy industry, or even the military industry, everything depended


    greatly on the support of the steel industry.


    The Moore family had already been involved in the steel industry previously. However, they had


    never seized the opportunity to be bigger and stronger i n the industry.


    Now that Jasmine had taken over the Moore family, she hoped to increase the overall industrial


    scale of the Moore family step by step. Therefore, she decided t o bet heavily on the steel industry.


    2


    Her specific n was to establish a steelpany focusing on special steel smelting in Lancaster,


    which was a city on the lower end of the Yaak River, which was not too far away from Aurous Hill. 1


    Lancaster was the city where Travis was located at.


    Although Travis was the richest man in Lancaster, his main priority and focus was on real estate


    and supportingmercial developments, which was highly simr to Wanda Group’s development


    and industrial direction. 1


    As Lancaster was a city at the lower end of the Yaak River, and since it was closer to the sea,


    shipping was also very convenient. Iron ore and iron sand purchased from Brazil and Australia


    could be easily transported into Lancaster from the sea by ten thousand tons bulk carriers. 4


    One of the most important considerations for the iron and steel industry was transportation. The


    amount of iron ore was extremely huge. Therefore, the shipping conditions had to be supported to


    reduce its costs to the greatest extent. This was also the main reason why almost allrge-scale


    steelpanies would establish their base in coastal cities and cities that were along the sea. 2


    The Moore family had already invested in a veryrge area of industrialnd in Lancaster many


    years ago. It just so happened that they would be able to build up their steel factory there now. So,


    the only thing that the Moore familycked right now was a partner with strong research and


    development capabilities with arge number of steel patents. 2


    Therefore, Jasmine decided to target a coboration and partnership with Nippon Steel from Japan.
