Chapter 538: Strategic Resources

"Angtun, after becoming a small warlord, his aura is much higher than before!"

Zhou You chose a place and sat down leisurely, looking at the cloaked man with a smile on his face.

Yes, the cloaked man in front of him is Angtun, who has become a small warlord, the seventeen-year-old Burmese boy who reported to Zhou You in Yingjiang Gongpan.

Ang Tun took off his cloak, his dark face rolled into a bright smile, and said, "Mr. Zhou is not simple. is as strong as Tang Tiancheng, and now he has become a prisoner under Mr. Zhou's operation, and the huge Tang Group is also burdened under Mr. Zhou's attack, and is currently in a dying situation. Such energy, there is no comparison between Angtun. ”

Don't think that Angtun is modest, it's a fact.

Angtun can start with tens of millions of RMB, why can't others. Although Ang Tun has done a good job, he actually has an armed force of 200 people and secretly controls more than a dozen small villages and a small jade vein, which is considered a lot of achievements, but Zhou You can even a group with assets of more than 100 million yuan like the Tang Group can be completely defeated, and its energy is completely beyond the scope of Ang Tun's bearing. To put it mildly, Zhou Youlian doesn't need to use his connections, and he can hire international mercenaries to wipe out Angtun's small separatist forces just by relying on money.

Zhou You didn't take Ang Tun's words to heart, and asked directly: "Okay, don't talk about those false things, you know I don't like to hear this." Two questions, how did you find me, and what did you do with me?"

Aung Tun replied happily: "It's very simple, the dozen or so small villages under our control are in the southwest of Du County, less than half an hour's drive from Du County, and even a two-hour drive to Mandalay. It's just that we are weaker than the Du family, at least the Du family has built the county seat by itself, and our more than a dozen small villages add up to about 20,000 people, and they are very scattered and cannot be formed, so we have always respected the Du family very much and have always had close ties with them. This time, I heard that there were two Chinese investors from the Du family, and one of them was young, not only surnamed Zhou, but also from Guangdong, so I remembered Mr. Zhou and rushed over as soon as possible. ”

Zhou You nodded, accepting Ang Tun's wording for the time being.

Ang Tun then said: "And Ang Tun came here this time to make friends with Mr. Zhou again, hoping that our hometown can get Mr. Zhou's investment, so that the life of the villagers can be a little better." ”

Zhou You smiled and asked, "You should have made a lot of money by selling jadeite, why don't you take it out and invest it?"

Ang Tun immediately replied: "It's the same as the people of the Du family." First of all, we don't have much money, secondly, our environment there is even more difficult than Du County, and we lack the relevant experience, technology and talents, all of which must be done through you; and finally, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. ”

"I accept your explanation for the time being. ”

Zhou You nodded, changed his words, and asked, "The Du family cooperated with us and provided us with very convenient conditions. But what can you offer me?"

Angtun said proudly: "On the private side, I hope to cooperate in the development of jadeite mines like the Du family, and on the public side, we hope to get a piece of the pie in your cooperative enterprises, even if it is a soup drink, as long as it can make the villagers live a little better." ”

Zhou You remembered that Qin Yan'an was cooperating with Ang Tun now, and asked with a smile: "I remember that Qin Yan'an cooperated with you very happily, you provided him with jade wool, and he provided you with necessary living materials and some strategic materials that were not very sensitive. With such a good relationship, why abandon him and turn to us?"

"I didn't abandon him," said Aung Tun. Because the risk of smuggling is too high, and the Burmese government doesn't seem to like to see new separatist forces emerge, it hits me hard, so I'm going to follow your example. Although the profit will be much less, it is better to be safe. ”

Zhou You asked directly: "Our cooperation with the Du family is very clear, we contribute money and equipment, they contribute mine and manpower, what can you give us?"

Ang Tun replied happily: "What they can give, I can naturally give." It's just that our model is that Mr. Zhou pays a little money, Qin Yanan pays for the equipment, and is responsible for the export, and we are responsible for the rest. ”

Zhou You asked, "Then do you think I can trust you and Qin Yan'an?"

Aung Tun was immediately stunned.

Zhou Lobby is telling the truth. Although the bait is very good, the problem is that Zhou You is not familiar with them, so why bother with it. All the beautiful blueprints before were just Angtun's wishful thinking.

Ang Tun was also a resolute person, gritted his teeth, turned around, opened the box behind him, took out an ore-like object from inside, and handed it directly to Zhou You.

Just now, because of Angtun's actions, the sensitive Dazhi also made a move. If it weren't for Ang Tun turning around and taking things, otherwise Dazhi would definitely subdue him.

"What is this?"

Zhou You is sure that this is ore.

Although he is not an expert in geology, he must have a certain understanding of geology when he reads archaeology, plus the experience brought by gambling stones, so he still has some eyesight when he travels around.

Zhou You was not polite, condensed his spiritual power and looked in, and found that there were some blue-white metal components inside the ore, which made Zhou You think more and more.

Aung Tun said, "This is chromite!"

"Chromite!"

Zhou You was completely stunned, and looked at Ang Tun deadly, hoping that he was not joking.

Ang Tun nodded firmly and said: "I'm not kidding, this is really chromite! At first, my people thought it was wool and sent it to me, but I thought it was a little strange, so I sent it to a foreign authoritative research institute for testing, and finally sent a report that it was chromite." ”

Zhou You asked, "Is there chromite in your village?"

Aung Tun nodded.

Zhou You took the case and shouted, "Okay, our deal is done!"

Chromium, a blue-white polyvalent metal element, atomic number 24, is usually prepared chromium, which is hard and brittle, corrosion-resistant, and exists only in a chemical state, mainly in the form of chromite. Chromium is hard, brittle, corrosion-resistant, and is the hardest metal, mainly used in electroplating and manufacturing special steels.

Don't underestimate chromium, a metal that is a national strategic resource, because in the national defense and military industry, chromium metal is mainly used to smelt special alloys with cobalt, nickel, tungsten and other elements. These special steels and alloys are indispensable materials for the production of guns, missiles, rockets, and ships in aviation, aerospace, automobiles, shipbuilding, and the defense industry. The significance is extraordinary.

It's a pity that chromite is a shortage of minerals in China, with small reserves and low output, and more than 80% of the annual consumption depends on imports. If Zhou You gets a chromite in his hands, its sensational effect is no less than the establishment of the Mingyuan Museum.

Ang Tun smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, with my identity and experience, I don't know the importance of chromite, but this does not prevent it from becoming my bargaining chip. ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "Yes, I understand." ”

Aung Tun wants to use chromite to gain more leverage and voice for himself. Zhou You can understand and accept, but if the other lion opens his mouth, then Zhou You can only find another way.

Aung Tun hesitated for a moment and then said, "Mr. Zhou, if we set up a mining company, I hope to get 30% of the shares." ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”

As a finder, taking only 30% of the shares is considered a small amount.

Aung Tun continued to add conditions: "Also, you must be responsible for the mining equipment and other construction costs, and I can only provide you with mining manpower and necessary protection measures. ”

Zhou You pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." Although your words at least subtract hundreds of millions of expenses for you, it is also within our acceptable range. It's just that we hope that your 30% stake can't take chromite, and we will directly convert it into cash and distribute it to you. ”

"I know that chromite is a very important resource, but I am just a small armed force in the countryside, and it is dangerous to take too many hot things in my hands, so it is better to convert them into cash and get more armed to protect myself." ”

Zhou You replied in the affirmative: "It's good that you can think so." ”

Aung Tun then added another condition: "I have one more condition. ”

Zhou You's expression froze, and he replied, "I hope it's the last condition." ”

Ang Tun replied with a smile: "We found that the location of the mine is between us and Du County, although it is very close to one of our villages, but if the Du family comes hard, I am afraid that with the armed forces in our hands, we will really be unable to withstand it, but will make a fuss." So, I hope that Mr. Zhou will come forward to solve this problem. ”

Zhou You suddenly came over.

However, he was not a fool, and said coldly: "If the Du family asks for a piece of the pie, I hope you are prepared to cut the meat." After all, this is a crazy investment of one billion yuan, and I must guarantee the investment interests of our side, otherwise our agreement will end here. ”

This is a strategic-level mineral deposit, not to mention the labor, construction, and equipment, just to build a short-distance railway from the mining area to Mandalay, which has a direct railway line to China, this investment is at least an investment in 100 million yuan, and no one dares to be careless.

"Of course. ”

Ang Tun felt a trace of cold aura around him, and directly classified this aura as murderous aura, and secretly vigilant in his heart, temporarily giving in.

For Angtun, the most important thing is the question of money, and only the money in hand is the most practical. If the matter is exposed, let alone this chromite mine, even he himself will be swallowed by other forces, and the mere two hundred armed forces will not play any role at all.

In addition, the Du family is also a very uneasy variable, with limited self-consciousness and limited ability, and Ang Tun, who is temporarily unable to confront the Du family, chose to travel around very smartly, hoping to make a small sacrifice to ensure his own interests. It's a good deal.

The matter has been preliminarily decided.

Zhou You stood up leisurely and said, "In that case, then let's go to the field tomorrow to see how big this chromite is." ”

"Boss, no!"

Dazhi suddenly stepped forward to stop it.
