Chapter 8: The Contest (1)

Ganxi Copper.

The largest copper company in China.

Founded in 1979, it is a super-large joint enterprise integrating copper mining, dressing, smelting and processing in China's non-ferrous metal industry, and is the largest copper product production base in China and an important source of sulfur chemical raw materials, gold, silver and dispersed metals.

The largest controlling shareholder, Ganxi Copper Group.

Actual controller.

Ganxi State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

The meaning of this actual controller is very clear.

In the eyes of many people, the symbol of wealth is money, which is money.

As long as you have enough money, you can buy anything.

But in the eyes of a guy like Zhao Jiangchuan, money is no longer what he needs.

He is well aware that the real measure of wealth is never money on the surface.

It's like high-tech companies like General Motors and Boeing.

The market capitalization is only a few hundred billion, far less than Apple or Facebook.

But ten apples add up to one generic.

Irreplaceable things such as energy, technology, mining, and agriculture are the currencies that will never depreciate.

After the economic collapse of Lao Maozi's family, they did not starve all the people to death because there was enough oil to exchange for money.

Even if the ruble is almost like waste paper.

But as long as there is oil, it can be exchanged for a lot of dollars.

In the mining industry.

Iron ore is the number one metal.

With iron ore mining, processing and export, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Vale and FMG have become the world's four strongest mines.

But if iron ore is the first major base metal, then copper is the first important non-ferrous metal.

This is even more important than gold to some extent.

It is another symbol of wealth that can go hand in hand with oil.

In China's modern history, almost any mining industry has been privately mined and processed.

There are a large number of private coal mines in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

Even in the case of gold mines, there were large private gold mines in the early days in many areas.

Take, for example, the second largest gold mining area in the country.

Seventies and eighties.

100,000 yuan can contract a gold mine with an annual output of several tons of gold.

But copper has never been mined by an individual or a private company.

However, mining resources are all given by God.

In China, the reserves of copper ore are not abundant.

No matter how much you save this non-renewable resource, there will always be a day when it will be mined.

If we want to ensure sustainable development, we must increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

If you can buy this non-renewable resource with money, it is cost-effective in any case.

As a result, China has made many representations with the Zambian government.

Because in Zambia, there is the largest copper deposit in the world.

In order to obtain Zambia's copper mining, China has made great efforts to do so.

As early as 1970, China spent a lot of money to help Zambia build the Tanzania-Zambia Railway.

The railway runs from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania in the east to Kapiri Mposhi in central Zambia in the west, with a total length of 1,860.5 kilometers. Construction began in October 1970 and was completed in July 1976.

During the construction of the railway, China successively sent 56,000 engineering and management personnel to support the railway construction, of which 65 died in Tanzania and Zambia.

But in the end, Huaguo did not get the right to mine Zambian copper.

After the construction of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, the Zambian government immediately turned against China and became the first country on the African continent to exclude China.

Even in the decades that followed, Huaguo did not acquire any major copper mines in Zambia.

On the contrary, Zambia excludes China, and anti-China enterprises are becoming more and more intense.

Even later Jinchuan Group's small Chibuluma South Mine project in Zambia.

Various contracts have also been forced under the laws of the Zambian State.

Including an 8:1 employment contract.

To bring in one worker from China, eight Zambian laborers must be employed.

In an office in the Egret Island Administration Building, a group of people sat together and discussed something.

They are senior management from Ganxi Copper.

Three months ago, the intelligence services received a very important piece of information.

In Egret Island, there is a company that has entrusted the Egret Island government to recruit a large number of young and strong workers.

There's nothing strange about this.

But what is unbelievable is that all the employees recruited by this company are required to leave the country.

Thousands of workers.

Such a large-scale labor exit immediately attracted the attention of relevant departments.

After the investigation, it was found that the place where the employer would be employed was actually Zambia on the African continent.

What's even more unbelievable is that the employer actually hired some domestic geological and mining experts on a large scale with very generous salaries.

Large-scale workers are needed, as well as a large number of mining geologists.

As long as you're not stupid, everyone knows what you're trying to do.

The more you investigate, the more incredible the results become.

Jushi Capital, a multinational investment company from the United Kingdom.

After the company invested a huge amount of money in Ludao, it entrusted the Ludao government to help recruit laborers to leave the country.

The destination, straight to Zambia.

In order to obtain the mining rights of overseas mining and energy.

China has never given up for many years, and it is impossible to give up any possibility in this kind of strategy, which is related to the century-old plan of the country and the nation.

The relevant departments immediately contacted the Ludao government, which has close contacts with Jushi Capital.

After negotiating with Xiao Jialiang to clarify the benefits, the actual controller of Jushi Capital came into view.

Zhao Jiangchuan.

Male, born on November 30, 1977.

His father, Zhao Donglai.

Deputy Director of Ludao Investment Promotion Bureau.

His mother, Huang Yajuan.

.......

With the information of the relevant departments, Zhao Jiangchuan's ancestors of the eight generations were quickly investigated.

is so clear that even Zhao Jiangchuan himself is not so clear.

This discovery made the relevant departments unbelievable and excited.

It is unbelievable that the actual controller of Jushi Capital is actually a young man who is just twenty years old.

It's just a monster.

Which successful person is not able to make a career without accumulating a huge network of relationships over the years.

But Zhao Jiangchuan rose sideways like a comet.

In just two years, it has done something that many people can't do in their lifetime.

Excited, this young man is Chinese.

Taking this as a breakthrough is undoubtedly a shortcut to opening up overseas mining rights.

"Jushi Capital recruits 4,000 people, and according to Zambia's local labor protection law, it has to recruit 32,000 people locally. With so many people, the amount of copper ore in their hands is simply incredible. I'm afraid that at least 60% of Zambia's copper mines have been acquired. “

"yes. Otherwise, we would never have hired so many people. It is believed that Jushi Capital must have large-scale copper mining rights in its hands. ”

"You say how Jushi Capital got so many copper mining rights in Zambia, our country has spent decades of hard work there, not only can you get nothing, but you also got a white-eyed wolf. ”

"Who knows. However, many of the management of Jushi Capital are British, could it be that the British secretly assisted. ”

"Probably not. Everyone has seen Zhao Jiangchuan's information, and his nationality is still in China. Since he is the actual controller of Jushi Capital, the UK feels that it will not help Jushi Capital. ”

"That's weird. ”

"But I heard that Zambia has been fighting in the past two years, do you think it will have anything to do with it? ”

"Lao Wang, Morgan Stanley, the major shareholder of your Joaquin, is a veteran investment company in the United States, has there been any information from there? ”

Lao Wang is not the old king next door, nor is he surnamed Wang.

Wang Sunji.

The surname is Wang Sun, the name, and the disease.

He is an executive of the Hong Kong office of Huaguo International Capital Corporation Limited.
