Chapter 278: Gold Rush
The bodyguards stopped each other.
Su Mu has encountered similar situations many times, but it is the first time that he has to invest and pay for gold by himself.
To be precise, it should be the exploration of gold mines, if the exact location of the veins has been found, Su Mu may be happy to invest, it is a steady stream of stable income, but the exploration of gold mines, most of them will be lost.
casually asked, "How much do you want me to invest?"
"Two million dollars! For two million dollars, I can hire workers and rent mining equipment!" shouted the other man.
It's just a small amount of money, recently Su Mu plans to pay for the construction of a big house, the cost alone is as high as about 40 million US dollars, the construction period is more than five years, and some of it is taken out every year, and the financial pressure is not great, so he bought the golf course by the small lake where he lives now, and selected a piece of land near the mountains and rivers.
Now Gates is building a mansion, Ellison is also building a mansion, Su Mu is influenced by them, and he is also moved, so much money can buy a big island in Hawaii, or in Wyoming or Montana, buy a super-large ranch of tens of thousands of acres, but the land in those places is not valuable, and the company is here in Silicon Valley, he tried to build a top mansion, specifically asked Gates about the "fish tank", which is used to raise whales or other super-large fish.
In the past, he was always ridiculed by Mr. Senna for not enjoying life, but now there are private jets and super mansions, and cars are not a problem, and he is so rich that there is no question of reluctance, just whether he is willing or not.
At the same time as this plan, there is also the company's headquarters building, which is expected to cost nearly 100 million yuan, just won a 220,000 square meters of super large land in Palo Alto City, near Menlo Park, Su Mu paid for his own private loan, and is now soliciting design styles on the Internet, and a reward of one million US dollars through OO, it is estimated that it will not be officially built until the second half of next year.
Su Mu replied: "Come with me in the car, you have about ten minutes before I get home, and you have about ten minutes to convince me to invest in the gold exploration project, and the plan has been brought?"
"I brought it, in my bag, and it was an exploration site on a tropical island in Papua New Guinea, in an extinct volcanic crater, where the surrounding islanders often picked up gold from the river and traded it with merchants for daily necessities, but no one knew where the gold mines upstream of the river were.
Our company's experts lived there for more than three years, and finally selected the extinct crater that was most likely to form a gold mine, and it took bribes to get the exploration rights to the officials, and I spent all my money after winning the exploration rights, so I came to you. ”
This passage blurted out, Su Mu guessed that he should have said similar things to many people, otherwise he would not be so proficient, and asked: "I take the liberty of asking, how did you find me here? ”
"Call me Jack, Jack Ross, I saw about you in the morning in the newspaper, and I was thinking why don't you try your luck here in Silicon Valley? As soon as I saw you, I knew you were the right person, a great car, I used to have one, and then I sold it to raise money, and I won the exploration rights, and finally I gambled, people explored that island many times, but they didn't find the exact location of the gold mine, it must be in that extinct volcano!"
When people think of volcanoes, they always think of disasters. However, volcanoes are also natural treasures, sapphires are often hidden in volcanic magma, which brings us rich mineral resources, such as volcanic gold mines, and recently it has been known that volcanoes that do not erupt in the ocean, that is, land volcanoes often have large gold mines!"
A middle-aged man named Jack Ross hurriedly took out a document from his briefcase and gave it to Su Mu, and pointed to a map marked with a red pen on an area and said: "In the past, people only searched around the volcano, but they forgot that there may also be gold deposits in the extinct crater, and it has stopped erupting for more than 100,000 years.
After looking at the other party, Su Mu felt that it might be difficult for the middle-aged man to take out five thousand dollars, and the cheap suit, shabby shoes, and the inferior perfume that concealed his body odor made him even more uncomfortable.
I wonder if he is a liar or not, but judging from the tone and the situation in front of him, he is more like a gambler who has lost everything and wants to gamble at the end, which makes Su Mu, who has a stable personality and radical impulses, a little interested.
Like other fine merchants, he asked, "I can invest, and if I find gold, how much will it belong to me?"
I didn't look through the project planning case, Su Mu didn't understand the mining knowledge, it was useless to read it, it was only two million dollars, he wanted to find some fun for his life, and last time he accompanied a friend to Las Vegas, he lost more than one million dollars in one night, how can gambling money be interesting to find gold mines.
There are gold hunters and treasure hunters in the United States, who go off the beaten path and go around the world in search of treasures buried deep in the earth and in the oceans, and a few succeed and many more are destitute.
Jack Ross had a ecstatic expression and asked tentatively: "I will invest a large amount of money in the beginning, and I will also contribute later. ”
Su Mu shook his head: "I'm seven and you three, two million dollars is not a small number, I just gambled with you, I didn't think I could get the money back." ”
"Oh my God, it's too low, I'd rather sell the prospecting rights, at least half of each!"
"Are you sure someone wants to ask for it? I'm six, you're four, if you can, tell me your company account, if not, then please get off." Su Mu was sure that the other party was cornered, so he didn't open his mouth at this time, when did he open his mouth.
Before that, Jack Ross found those peers, and was even willing to hand over 75% of the proceeds, but no one was interested at all, 40% had already satisfied him, and when he saw that the driver really parked the car on the side of the road, he stretched out his hand and said, "Deal!"
Disturbed by Lily's strange phone call, he relaxed a little at this time, shook hands and added: "Before investing, I have to make sure that your company really exists, what is its name?"
"Titan Mining, which was listed on the New York Stock Exchange before, I will transfer the equity to you, and two million dollars is regarded as the acquisition of 60% of the shares. You can rest assured that my great-grandfather's generation has been mining since his generation, and all the wealth is obtained from the ore......"
......
After returning home for dinner, Su Mu remembered the incident.
After the investigation, it was found that the company collapsed eight years ago, and it was only worth two cents per share before delisting, Su Mu had never seen a company with such a low market capitalization, no wonder the other party opened his mouth to be 60% of the shares, and only wanted to retain the right to manage.
I can't laugh or cry, I always feel cheated, but it doesn't matter, when it's to buy a happy one, now he has the capital to spend two million dollars to buy a look forward to......
