Mr. Xiao doesn't need to thank me, as you said, it's your luck to be able to explore for gold. This farm has been in my hands for decades, and I have explored the oil and gas resources on the farm, but I have not found this gold mine, obviously this is my luck is not good, and you are favored by God, for which I can only envy in my heart. ”

Although Ebson's heart was full of jealousy, he would never say it.

"The gold mine that has been explored is an unprecedented high-quality rich mine, and the cost of mining is extremely low, such a gold mine that is about to create great economic benefits is a piece of fat for any mining group, as the chairman of the Gattuso Mining Group, is Mr. Ebson not interested in this gold mine?" Xiao Yao asked straight to the point.

"Of course I'm interested, but we Gattuso Mining Group have limited funds to come up with, and we can only come up with a maximum of $5 billion to buy this gold mine in your name, if Mr. Xiao can accept this price, then I can't ask for it." Ebson said with a smile on his lips.

Xiao Yao had already guessed that Ebson's appetite must be very big, but he didn't expect Ebson to be so black-hearted that he wanted to swallow half of his benefits directly.

"Mr. Ebson must have heard about the reserves of this gold mine, right? Based on the current market price, the total value of gold, copper, iron and other minerals in the gold mine has reached 24 billion US dollars, and you only give a receiving price of 5 billion US dollars, don't you think it is too low?" Xiao Yaofeng asked lightly.

"I think the price is quite appropriate, and I can even say that it is a bit high. While the total value of all minerals is $24 billion, we also have to take into account the cost of extraction, the amount of taxes paid and the time it takes to mine. Even if all goes well, it will take seven or eight years to mine all the minerals. If the $5 billion is invested, even if the profit is 10% per year, it will be worth nearly $10 billion in eight years. So, I think the $5 billion price is fair. Ebson was perheartened.

"From your point of view, the lower the price of buying a gold mine, the better, I can understand that. However, there is a limit to the low price, and the fact that there is no basis for giving an ultra-low price can only make me question the professionalism of the Gattuso Mining Group.

Although the appraisal value given by the third-party appraisal company will not be the final transaction price, it also has a high reference value, and the appraisal price given by the third-party appraisal company for the Chidoriko gold mine is between 9.8 billion and 11 billion.

Other mining groups, including BHP, have agreed with this price, but you, Mr. Ebson, have offered $5 billion, which really surprised me.

Based on the relationship between the two of us, I thought you would offer a high price, but I didn't expect you to offer an unbelievably low price, and you gave me a new understanding of the Ebson family. Xiao Yao said as he stared into Ebson's eyes.

Facing Xiao Yao's sneering gaze, Ebson's eyes were slightly evasive, and he didn't dare to face him.

The price of 5 billion was negotiated by Ebson and Jeff in advance, and Jeff was worried that his father would make concessions because of his face, so he interjected in time: "Mr. Xiao, I don't know if you have heard, the state legislature is about to introduce animal protection regulations, and the Chidoriko Farm has a large number of wild animals and wild birds, and the mining of gold mines will definitely be restricted."

When this policy is officially introduced, it is possible that on-farm gold mines will not be able to be mined at all, and even if they can be successfully mined, it is likely that the scale will be limited. Once the scale of mining is limited, the mining time will inevitably be greatly extended, and if our Gattuso Mining Group invests too much in the early stage, it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses.

We at the Ebson family are grateful to Mr. Shaw for saving my life, and if I am personally concerned, I would be willing to accept Mr. Shaw's gold mine at the highest price assessed by a third-party appraisal company.

But the Gattuso Mining Group is not unique to our Ebson family, which now owns less than 20% of the shares, and our Ebson family, although we have some influence in the company, do not yet have access to the decisions of the board of directors. All we can do is to make the final decision of the Executive Board, and we ask Mr. Xiao's understanding for that. "Jeff's attitude seems sincere, but what he says is hypocritical.

Xiao Yao said in a firm tone: "I can tell you clearly, I will definitely not accept this price." Swire is not a vegetarian either, it is absolutely impossible to accept this humiliating price, you have the ability to introduce animal protection regulations, and we have the ability to prevent animal protection regulations. You have to think about what Gattuso Mining Group has to lose if I decide to work with other mining companies?"

After all, the Ebson family is the top family of the old brand, and even if it is declining now, it still has a very strong influence in Texas. If it is a purely economic contest, Ebson is indeed not confident, but when it comes to righteousness, Ebson has full confidence.

Ebson knew that Swire Investments had a lot of influence in China, but he was also convinced that neither Swire Investments nor large mining groups such as BHP Billiton could compete with him in Texas.

He also knew that Xiao Yao would never accept the figure of $5 billion, and if he continued to negotiate, he would definitely make concessions, but the concessions would never be large.

Ebson pretended to think for a moment and said, "After all, Mr. Shaw is Jeff's savior, and our Ebson family will never forget this kindness. In this way, I can promise Mr. Xiao that we can increase the purchase price by another 500 million yuan, which is 5.5 billion US dollars, and when I go back, I will hold a board meeting to reconsider. But this is already the biggest concession I can make, and I hope Mr. Xiao can understand my difficulties. ”

Occupying the local advantage, Ebson felt that he had eaten Xiao Yao, but unfortunately he didn't know Xiao Yao's character at all, let alone how capable he was, if he knew something about it, he would not dare to touch Xiao Yao's bottom line three times or twice.

"For the sake of adding $500 million to my face, I am really a big face! I Xiao Yao dare not ask for such a big face, and I will not ask for it. ”。

Xiao Yao's tone suddenly became cold, it was obviously summer, but it felt like the cold wind of winter was blowing in the face, Ebson and Jeff couldn't help but shudder.
