Chapter 33: Great Wealth
"It's not very difficult to have that kind of wealth," Wang Yongyuan suddenly sighed deeply and said, "The difficult thing is how to realize that kind of wealth and how to protect your wealth." ”
Gu Mu didn't know what he meant by this, so he didn't know how to talk.
"Do you know why I set up my training camp here?"
Wang Yongyuan walked a few steps in the backyard and suddenly asked Gu Mu.
Gu Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's because the terrain here is harsh, so it's more suitable for training, right?"
"That's not the reason," Wang Yongyuan shook his head and said, "There are a lot of places suitable for training, and just for training, I don't need to buy such a large piece of land at all." ”
"For what?"
Gu Mu asked curiously.
At the same time, his heart was pounding, and he thought, "Could it be that this old man's luck has exploded again and found some great wealth?"
"Because under this land, there is a great deal of wealth. ”
Wang Yongyuan's answer did not disappoint Gu Mu.
It's really about wealth.
"Then why don't you develop it now?" Gu Mu asked curiously.
Wang Yongyuan said: "Because the wealth buried here is too huge, as long as the outside world knows, it will bring me a catastrophe, and I don't have the strength to defend it." ”
Gu Mu was stunned.
Wang Yongyuan is a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions, and even according to Chi Yanyan, he has a net worth of more than tens of billions, and may reach hundreds of billions of yuan.
How amazing is the huge wealth in the mouth of such a super-rich man?
Could it be that there is a huge oil field down here?
Or a super-large iron mine that can be mined for hundreds of years?
He really couldn't think of what kind of things were bought underground, which made Wang Yongyuan so cautious, and for this reason, he made a mercenary group of four or five thousand people to guard here.
With such a powerful guardian force, he still doesn't dare to develop it, which can only mean that the wealth here has reached a terrifying level.
"What kind of thing is that?" Gu Mu couldn't help but ask.
"Gold," Wang Yongyuan said with a solemn face, "There is a huge gold mine under this piece of land. ”
Gu Mu's heart thumped and asked, "How big?"
Wang Yongyuan said slowly: "At present, the proven reserves are larger than those in the Rand gold mining area. ”
Gu Mu couldn't understand this comparison.
Because he didn't know where the so-called Rand gold mining area was, and how much reserves there were.
"Is there a lot of reserves in the Rand Gold Mine?" he asked curiously.
Wang Yongyuan glanced at him and knew that he really didn't understand, so he patiently explained to him:
"The Rand Gold Mine is in southern Africa, discovered in 1866 and has a history of more than 100 years. It is the largest gold mine ever discovered in the world, and it still maintains the largest reserves since the year it was discovered. ”
"This mining area maintains six or seven hundred tons of gold mining every year,
Over the years, it has mined 35,000 tonnes of gold. ”
"At current conservative estimates, there are still 18,000 tonnes of gold to be mined there. This equates to a total of 53,000 tonnes of gold in the mine, which is equivalent to 52% of the world's total gold reserves, where half of the earth's gold is concentrated. ”
"However, the proven reserves of this gold mine we have here are higher than the total reserves of the Rand gold mining area. ”
Gu Mu heard Wang Yongyuan say the string of numbers, and finally understood why this super-rich man still used huge wealth to describe the minerals buried underground.
A great fortune indeed, for any human being.
Gold is still a precious metal, which is denominated in grams, and the price of one gram in China is now more than 200 yuan.
Even if the domestic gold price in China is a little more expensive, it cannot be used as a standard.
In the international market, the price of an ounce of gold is equal to more than 1,000 US dollars, and a kilogram of gold has more than 30 ounces, which is worth tens of thousands of US dollars a kilogram.
One ton is forty or fifty million dollars.
And the reserves here are calculated in 10,000 tons.
10,000 tons, that's four or five hundred billion dollars.
No individual in this world has ever reached such a level of wealth.
Such wealth has been able to tempt all the nations of the world to the point where it is worth going to war.
No wonder Wang Yongyuan didn't dare to develop it.
"Actually, I hope its reserves can be smaller," Wang Yongyuan looked at Gu Mu and said with a wry smile, "If its reserves were only one percent of what it is now, I would have developed it a few years ago." But its reserves are so large that I don't dare to exploit them. As long as this news is known to the outside world, this mine will no longer be mine. Not only will it not be mine in this mine, but all my wealth will not be mine. ”
Although it is not said that you can make much money with the amount of gold you have, the cost of mining gold is actually huge, and some mining companies have even gone bankrupt because the cost is too large.
But generally speaking, where the reserves are high, the grade of the gold mine will be better, the mining cost will be reduced a lot, and the profit here is very large.
With such a large reserve, after deducting the cost, you can earn at least half of the profit.
Wang Yongyuan is right, if the reserves here are only one percent, although it can also bring him huge profits, but this is only a huge profit for him personally, and it will not be looked at by those big countries.
Although the powerful countries of this world are essentially hooligans, they do not have enough profits to show their true colors.
And small countries do not have the ability to share this cake.
As long as those big countries don't worry about it, those small countries in Africa don't have the ability to move the cake in Wang Yongyuan's hands.
But the wealth buried here is so huge that if thousands of tons can be mined a year, it is tens of billions of dollars, enough to make any country tempted.
"Do they dare to come and rob it openly?" Gu Mu asked.
Any country that has the ability to seize this wealth is a civilized country with a mountain of fairness and justice.
It's hard to imagine that such a country tears its face to grab a mine, and that looks too ugly.
"Maybe some people's property they don't want to grab openly, but mine they should dare. Wang Yongyuan said with a wry smile.
"Why?" Gu Mu asked, "Because you are from Huaxia? If that's the case, it's better to continue to be a native of the United States." ”
Wang Yongyuan shook his head and said: "No, there is no way for me to be a person who is truly recognized by the United States, in their eyes, we are always outsiders, and naturalization in China is my best choice." ”
