Zhou Han returned to Drake without taking a helicopter, and the road between Drake and Pemei that was washed away by the flood was finally repaired after half a month.

When Juan Mantar and Bram were halfway back to Pemei by the flood, she arrived at Drake half a day early, and when Zhou Han arrived at the hotel, Cao Mo was accompanying Juan Mantal and Bram to the east bank of the Usan River to inspect the resettlement camp and the exploration operations on the east bank of the river.

Zhou Han took the car directly to the east bank of the Wusang River to meet Cao Mo.

Contacting Yang Xiaofeng to meet with Dracula and rescue Yan Zhicheng from prison, Zhou Han left Drake for half a month, and then went to the camp in the exploration operation area on the east bank of the Wusan River, and saw that on the basis of the original three exploration wells of the Stru Gold Mining Company, in addition to replacing equipment and cables, and continuing to drill and sample deeper porphyry layers, two new exploration wells were also set up non-stop, and they were successfully drilled two days ago, and were not affected by the flood......

More than 20 containers were dragged from the town and built on concrete to create a row of offices and a row of staff dormitories—four sets of high-power diesel generators roared, and the offices and dormitories rebuilt by the containers were air-conditioned, and the conditions were many times better than the first night they arrived at Drake.

No one knew why Zhou Han left suddenly for half a month, and Zhou Han wouldn't say anything, she sat in the office of Kabuja and Yututan for a while, learning about the progress of the exploration operation here, and saw Cao Mo and Stari walking back.

"What about Juan Mantal and Brahm?" Zhou Han asked curiously.

"There is a meeting within the Front for the Promotion of Democracy, and we, as people outside the party, are not suitable to sit there and observe," Cao Mo said, "Let's go back to the town first, Juan Mantar and Brahm will have a meeting for some time, and let Kabuja and Xiao Jun accompany them to the meeting......

"I knew I would stay in the town, but I won't come!" Zhou Han complained.

The cement bridge over the Wusan River that had been washed away by the flood had not yet been repaired, and it was more than 30 kilometers of road from the town to the camp on the east bank, and the road was muddy and bumpy, which was very uncomfortable.

Sitting in the car, Zhou Hancai said: "Everything on my side has been arranged." Yang Xiaofeng They really didn't get a penny from Liang Yuan, they have been looking for Liang Yuan's traces for the past two or three months, I contacted Yang Xiaofeng and them, it should make Liang Yuan have scruples, and he won't easily haunt London - who did you arrange to go to London to contact the Strugold Mining Company?"

"You contacted Yang Xiaofeng, prompting Liang Yuan to report directly to Stru, but fortunately, Liang Yuan didn't have any exact materials in his hands, and people didn't dare to show their faces in London, so naturally they couldn't agitate anything," Cao Mo said, "I entrusted Stari's brother to personally find the three main investors of Strew's Gold Mining Company who live in seclusion in London, and just negotiated a purchase agreement yesterday, 40 million US dollars to buy 53% of their shares in Struw's Gold Mining Company......"

"So expensive?" Zhou Han was startled.

She knew that Cao Mo didn't have much cash in her hands, and she might have to scrape together 40 million US dollars in gold, but she didn't expect to pay such a high price for the 53% stake in the debt-ridden and unsustainable Strugold Mining Company.

From the moment they decided to work with the Front for Democracy to expose the coup plot by Houff Bonia, the Strugold Mining Company came into the sights of Cao Mo.

At that time, however, the main focus was on collecting data from the Struk Gold Mining Company's exploration in the Drake area.

As far as the prospecting rights are concerned, there is a succession relationship, but after the expulsion of the Struk Gold Mining Company from Akwa, the mineral exploration in the Drake area has been under the name of the Akwa National Petroleum and Minerals Group, and Cao Mo and the others cooperated with the Akwa National Petroleum and Mineral Group to obtain new exploration rights, and then there is no major problem in forming a joint venture company or independently mining the minerals under Drake.

Therefore, there was no need to pay too much attention to the existence of the Stru Gold Mining Company before.

It was not until he suspected that there might be a super-large copper-gold mine on the east bank of the Wusan River, and Cao Mo was worried that the Strouding Gold Company's recourse to the prospecting rights in the Drake area might be used by someone with a heart - it would be difficult for the other party to really take away the prospecting rights, and he was afraid that he would start a lengthy lawsuit that might freeze the development of the Wusan River copper-gold mine, that Cao Mo seriously investigated the situation of the Struw Gold Mining Company.

The British gold mining company has been in Akwa for more than 120 years, entering Drake to mine gold as early as the forties of the last century, and it can even be said that one of the largest shallow gold mines in Drake's history was mined by Stru.

Strugold Mining also received handsome returns from Drake, but these returns were paid as dividends by investors, and Stru did not develop into a large mining conglomerate itself.

The military coup d'état staged by Syviyi 10 years ago was a dramatic change for the country of Akwa, as well as for the Strugold Mining Company.

In addition to the direct expropriation of the two gold mines in Mamba and Primorsky Province, and the direct cancellation of the gold exploration rights in Mamba, Drake and Primorsky Province, the Stru Gold Mining Company at that time left in Akwa, including large and small equipment, as much as 200 million US dollars in fixed assets, was also requisitioned by the Akwa Petroleum and Mining Group to state the state.

In order to repay the debt, the Strux Gold Mining Company kept its last gold mine in Benin to continue mining, but it was unable to increase its investment, and investors did not dare to increase their investment in the face of the treacherous and volatile political situation in West Africa.

The last gold mine held by the Stru Gold Mining Company in Benin has been continuously mined for more than 15 years, and the shallow rich ore belt has long been exhausted, and the remaining poor mining area, although the potential reserves are still considerable, the mining and refining costs are high.

Coupled with the reluctance of the Stru Mining Company to update its equipment, even if the international gold mine rises to $600 per ounce today, the operation of the gold mine will not be able to make ends meet.

If debt and other factors are excluded, the core assets of the entire Strugold Mining Company may be less than $30 million.

Cao Mo now only buys a little more than half of the shares of the Stru Gold Mining Company, and he has to pay 4,000

10,000 dollars, this price can be said to be a bit high, it is simply a hemorrhage.

"Now it is basically confirmed that Liang Yuan has been in contact with Han Shaorong, maybe Han Shaorong will not trust Liang Yuan much now, but as long as we contact Sturf Company, it will soon attract Han Shaorong's attention - we have no time to bargain. Cao Mo smacked her lips and said.

Cao Mo himself felt that he was at a loss, and even if the Stru Gold Mining Company trusted the information provided by Liang Yuan, it did not have much strength to come over and stir up the situation, but he was more worried about Han Shaorong.

Once the Strum Gold Mining Company initiates recourse, there is a risk that the matter will drag on for a long time before it is resolved.

It can be said that the price is a little higher to take a controlling stake in the Struth Gold Mining Company, but thinking about it from another angle, of course, they can't stupidly jump out and pursue the assets confiscated by the Stru Gold Mining Company in Akwa ten years ago, but do Mamba and the two gold mines that the Primorsky Province have developed for the Stru Gold Mining Company have the right of priority cooperation and investment?

What really gave Cao Mo a headache was the already shriveled pool of funds, which was squeezed clean again this time.

Even if the east bank of the Wusan River were to be mined as a medium-sized copper-gold mine, it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to make the scene happen.

Back at the manor, Zhou Han took a hot bath and rested a little before Kabuja, Xiao Jun and others accompanied Juan Mantal, Brahm and Mey Mantar to their return.

I haven't seen her for half a month, Mei Mantal is very haggard, and she can't hide the dark circles under her eyes with a light application, Zhou Han was shocked, but she didn't expect that in just half a month, the disaster relief camp would turn her like this.

Seeing her yawn and standing next to Juan Mantal, without the cold arrogance she had when she first arrived at Drake, it may have been a real frustration.

Prior to this, Cao Mo had already shown Juan Mantal the original data of the exploration of the east bank of the Usan River by the Strum Gold Mining Company ten years ago, and for the time being, he still regarded the underground of the east bank of the Usan River as a medium-sized copper-gold mine.

In this way, Cao Mo will be able to independently take over the mining rights on the east bank of the Wusang River after the readjustment of the Yibogu Gold Mining Group, so as to avoid the loopholes that may remain in the formation of a joint venture company and be exploited.

Juan Mantar came this time, in addition to hoping that Cao Mo could provide as many jobs as possible for the descendants of the colonists on the east bank of the Usan River, and the main purpose was to work together to promote the construction of the first white autonomous community on the east bank of the Usan River.

Asking the local government to return the property confiscated 10 years ago or to compensate them is completely unrealistic, and will only exacerbate the conflict with the main ethnic group of Akwa and re-break the relationship that has been so hard to reconcile.

Juan Mantar has reprimanded May several times for this, but even if the subsequent restoration of education, job creation, and internal self-government are not considered for the time being, the cost of infrastructure for a community that can accommodate more than 30,000 descendants of colonists is staggering.

This is also something that the Front for the Promotion of Democracy is unable to solve at this time......
