Chapter 426: Doing it yourself

Krugmore was going to do it, and if he, as a Boer, could find the gold left over from the war more than 80 years ago, it would not be just a matter of money!

Almost everyone thought that the missing gold was hidden in the northwest of South Africa, but it was not expected that it might be found in their hunting grounds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that Kruger and Dean were still a little overexcited after making the call, Zhang Nan felt that he needed to be a little cold.

"I said two, if you dig this to know, maybe you won't find anything. ”

When Kruger heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Allen, even if there is nothing, this is a lot of fun, every man has a treasure hunt dream when he is young, and Dean and I are the same, we both went to explore the treasures of King Zulu in middle school......"

Well, I didn't expect these two to be considered like-minded people, but they were a little too amateurish, plus they were born in the wrong place.

In Huaxia, it is estimated that it will also be two Tufuzi and the like.

Kruger suddenly thought of something, and it was still a troublesome matter: "Mr. Allen, if gold is found, there is a more troublesome problem, that is, our law stipulates that no one is allowed to hold gold nuggets, and the gold bricks must be sold to the National Reserve Bank. ”

Zhang Nan felt wrong when he heard this, the Chinese people who traveled to South Africa in later generations liked to go to a gold museum, and their favorite thing to do seemed to be to try to clamp a 12.5-kilogram gold brick with two fingers in the museum - whoever could pick up the gold brick would belong to whomever it was, although no one had ever succeeded.

And that museum seems to be privately owned, what's the deal with that piece of gold?

And it's not allowed to hold gold nuggets privately - that's a bit of a bizarre!

"Big or small, it's unlikely, isn't it?"

"It's that I didn't make it clear, but it can only be kept at most 10 percent. Mr. Allen, although we in South Africa have a free economy and trade, the control of gold is similar to that of the Soviet Union and the Red China, and it is extremely strict.

The law requires mines to sell the gold they produce to the National Reserve Bank, which controls the sale. However, gold mines can have a 10% self-sale right, but as far as I know, mining companies rarely use this indicator because the purchase price given by the Reserve Bank is the international transaction price.

This is done by the fact that all newly mined gold must be sold to the Reserve Bank within 30 days, and the price at which gold is purchased is determined by the average of the last two known London gold market closing prices, minus a small transaction fee.

The gold reserve bank that sells it from the mine may first transfer it to the treasury, or it may sell the gold to twenty banks and dealers in the major gold markets of London, Zurich, Frankfurt and New York, as is usually the case.

Selling to banks is much less of a hassle, so the mines themselves hold very little gold. However, since there had never been any discovery of Boer War gold before, if it had been discovered, it would have been possible to legally apply the regulations governing gold in gold mines, unless we did not disclose the matter, or only a small part of it.

If Mr. Allen likes gold, we can say that it is not a problem, and we are not the only ones in South Africa who like gold. ”

Zhang Nan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if the price is reasonable, and it's not necessarily whether there is gold or not."

But if it's more, I'd rather take some away, and the price of gold might go up. And I personally feel that Mr. Kruger, you try to keep some gold or diamonds, and Dean.

The South African rand has been depreciating slightly in recent years, and the dollar is not particularly reliable, if there is no good investment project, gold and diamonds will be relatively strong in three or five years. ”

The two South African tycoons agreed with Mr. Zhang's considerations: in their view, this was a kind reminder from Wall Street financial tycoons, and they would not normally say it to anyone.

"Our gold resources in South Africa are slowly decreasing, and ten years ago we were able to produce more than 70% of the world's production, but in recent years the proportion and absolute production have been slowly declining, and this money has become worthless.

Dean and I both have plans to invest abroad, and it is not certain that we will leave South Africa in a few years, and the government is also a bit unstable. ”

Kruger has a good eye and sees far – a number of white South Africans have left South Africa over the years, and this trend is only getting worse in the eyes of the two.

Apartheid is not a long-term solution, and the white plutocrats of South Africa can feel that when the system does collapse, the white people's lives may not be as comfortable as they are now.

Once blacks are given equal suffrage, the white regime will fall!

The three chatted about the stock market again, and Zhang Nan said that if these two have spare money, they can hand over the funds to their own economic and financial investment companies to operate, at least they can't lose.

It's all well-intentioned, long-term advice: there's no end to money in the stock market, and financial companies can take a cut of profits, which is the standard Wall Street way of making money.

Besides, the world's top richest people are, to put it bluntly, a small circle united by interests and friendship, and Zhang Nan cannot be an invisible rich man with few rich friends all his life.

Kruger and Dean are both eligible to join their "BRICS circle of friends", although it is relatively small.

For example, in India, in addition to the Jia Yin family, who want to do big things together, Zhang Nan also suggested that the Varma family go to the United States to invest in the stock market. After a few years, Zhang Nan will have a "circle of friends" all over the world.

In his last life, Zhang Nan had a collector friend who loved to travel and said a very awesome sentence: As long as I have 1,000 yuan in fare, I can play all over the country.

Just because he has a lot of friends, he is still the kind of friend who benefits each other.

And Zhang Nan should be able to play all over the world in the future, go to South Africa to play elephant hunting, and go to India to hunt tigers.....

That's how the top rich play.

Then Dean said, "We'll think about this carefully." Mr. Allen, if you really want to take the gold, Brown said you have a private jet, and I can arrange a private airport for you without security. ”

"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it when we dig it, haha..."

These two seem to really like treasure hunting, and only people who have this hobby in their bones will look forward to harvesting it when they haven't dug it up, which is a kind of fun.

Let's talk about it, just wait for tomorrow to start.

Swinging back to the room, followed by Charlize Theron, a small oil bottle, she was listening to the excitement on the side just now: Little Charlie has kept up with Zhang Nan in the past two days, but she also likes little girls to follow, and there is no need to avoid people for things like just now.

As soon as I went back to the room and washed up, I heard the sound of the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom.

It turned out to be a little girl knocking on the door.

Looking at the girl in pajamas, Zhang Nan opened the door and asked, "Charlie, can't you sleep?"

Charlize Theron was really unkind, and as soon as he came in, he sat down on the chair next to the bed, "Alan, is there really gold?"

Zhang Nan sat on the edge of the bed opposite her, and didn't say anything about gold, but said: "Charlie, don't casually wear pajamas into a man's room in the future, it's dangerous, you know?"

The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "You are a good person." ”

"The good guy is not Megumi Yanashita, he will become a big bad wolf!"

"What Megumi Yanagishita?"

"It's not important, it's important that you guard against men. ”

"You have a girlfriend. ”

"I have 6 girlfriends, so many of them are bad people who look like good people, so bad that they have sores on the top of their heads and pus on the soles of their feet, do you understand?"

Charlize Theron didn't understand the relationship between bad guys and skin diseases, but looked at Zhang Nan in surprise: "You really have 6 girlfriends?"

"Yes, a lot of rich people are bad people. So Charlie, you have to be careful of men in the future, especially men who are rich and look serious.

By the way, I will tell you a wise saying: Lori loves uncle, old men are more dangerous!"

"You're not old, 30 years at most. ”

"I'm only 20 years old, but I have a 50-year-old heart, so I'm also in the dangerous category. ”

Charlize Theron seemed to notice something very interesting, "You're only 20 years old?"

"Yes, just 20. ”

"Then you're so rich. ”

"Good luck. Okay, Charlie, if you want to go and dig the treasure tomorrow, go to bed early tonight, I guess Mr. Kruger should come early tomorrow morning. ”

Seeing that Zhang Nan didn't want to continue the conversation, the little girl was a little helpless, got up and left, "Call me tomorrow." ”

Zhang Nan nodded.

"I won't call you Uncle anymore, I'll call you Allen. Also, I memorized your badass theory, thank you. ”

Zhang Nan smiled and waved his hand, watching the little girl go to the balcony, knowing that he heard the sound of the floor door closing next door, so he arrived at the balcony.

I slanted and saw that the glass door of the next room was closed, but I didn't draw the curtains, and shook my head.

The little guy still didn't listen to everything.

Pull over the chair and sit down, pull out a cigarette and smoke one: a cigarette before bed, ten years less.

I got used to it, but I can't change it.

You can hear the cries of wild animals in the wilderness, and the African wilderness at night is the real killing field.

......

The next morning, at eight o'clock, this Kruger was shouting in the camp yard and asking the camp men to get their tools ready.

Zhang Nan, who had already gotten up, smiled and looked at the situation below: Kruger was embarrassed to call someone, so he used this method to remind himself that he should leave early.

There was a heavy trailer parked outside the camp, which was different from the trailers that were common in China, with six rows of tires at the back, and the weight of the excavator on the top was all pressed on the back half of the trailer -- this was a military-designed trailer used to carry tanks.

There was also a small tanker truck on the side, and this Kroger was ready to go big.

In fact, it doesn't use much oil at all, just that little stone, this 450 excavator is estimated to be able to clean it up in less than half an hour.

Charlize Theron, who was wearing pajamas, also ran to the balcony, looked at the situation below, and said anxiously: "Wait for me!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran back.

Wind and fire.

"Just take your time, wait for you. ”

Half an hour later, we finally set off, and there was a huge convoy.

Private land digging treasure is to be able to make such a big noise, Zhang Nan is a little envious, which is like digging something in China, and one of them will put himself in without paying attention.

As soon as they arrived at the place, the trailer driver commanded the excavator to drive down from the car, and Zhang Nan and his group first went to the place where the gravel collapsed.

"Alan, how do you tell?"

Hearing Charlize Theron's words, Zhang Nan explained the difference here.

“...... Treasure hunting requires a treasure hunting heart, and perhaps the golden legend in the northwest can also use this method to find the answer. ”

"You like treasure hunting?"

"yes, it's a hobby, and I'm going to develop it into a hardcore one. This person should have a hardcore hobby. By the way, Charlie, what do you like?"

"Food. ”

"Well, it's better for girls to be fat. ”

"No, the model has to be thin. ”

"Why do you still want to be a model?"

"I don't want to, I want to be an actor, but the model has a better figure. ”

"It's not good at all, it's ribs, it looks like a zombie! I'll talk to you about zombies when I'm free, and make sure you don't envy that abnormal body anymore." ”

This will be Lizi-Theron with a little baby fat, in fact, the model of this club is not popular "zombie rib type", but from Zhang Nan's aesthetics, it is still too thin.

It feels good to have a little flesh, as long as it doesn't grow into a diesel barrel, it's pleasing to the eye.

Kruger and Dean on the side waited patiently for Zhang Nan and Little Charlie to finish discussing the figure issue, and then the former said, "Mr. Allen, then dig directly?"

The 45-ton Type 450 excavator rumbled over, and the driver in the cockpit was waiting for the boss's words.

Zhang Nan listened to Kruger's words and glanced at the cab.

"Wait a minute. ”

Kruger thought that Zhang Nan still needed to study the terrain before he started, but he didn't think about it and said to Charlize Theron: "Take you to have a fun time." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the side of the excavator and said to the excavator in the high cockpit: "Man, come down and rest, I'll come." ”

In addition to Guan Xingquan, a group of people nearby were stunned, including Charlize Theron, who followed.

"Come on, it's very exciting to sit inside, like a merry-go-round. ”

Pulling Charlize Theron, he shoved her into the cab and let her sit in the space behind the excavator's seat: just enough to fit a person, and although it wasn't a seat, little Charlie could sit comfortably on a plastic board in the back.

The little girl leaned on the driver's seat with both hands, resting her head on her arms and watching Zhang Nan operate the machine.

"Stay away, I'll get familiar with it first. ”

A group of people immediately dispersed -- the fastest runner was Guan Xingquan's gang.

Xiang Zhangsheng already felt that he was hiding far enough, and asked Alyosha on the side: "The boss can drive an excavator?"

"Yes, the technology is not bad, better than the excavator skills of the engineering team in my hometown. ”

"Capable man!"

"But it's better to stay away, I haven't seen the boss drive a big guy of this model. ”

Xiang Zhangsheng nodded again and again, looked at the rumbling steel monster, and hurriedly retreated a long way - this thing is too lethal, especially there is a driver who doesn't seem to be very unreliable.

450 type, this horsepower, hydraulic leverage, this thick mine bucket is more suitable for hard!

With the cooperation of both hands, the excavator arm and the digging bucket skillfully cooperated to peel off a large bucket of stones, "sit firm!"

"Oh!"

A whirlwind, pouring the rocks to the side.

Well, the excavator hand who was watching the excitement looked a little distressed.
