Chapter 49: Collapse
The top floor of the Lusaka Foreign Hotel.
He Tianya was lying on the table with his legs crossed, his head bowed, and he was building his nails with a military dagger.
He was very serious and focused.
It seems that there is no distraction.
On the other side of the black desk stands Qazat Modi, the defense minister of the Chiluba government.
Modi's face was ugly.
He had been here for half an hour, but He Tianya completely treated him as air.
This made Modi feel very unexistent.
Well, he is also the defense minister of a country.
But in front of a mere mercenary, he has to be humiliated.
Damn it.
He's going to cut his hands off.
"Your Excellency, I think you need to seriously consider our suggestion, where to put the value of the Lunmwana copper mine, as long as you help us stabilize the political situation, it will bring you a lot of profits.
Whether it is mined or sold, there will be at least hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, which is a beneficial cooperation for both parties. ”
Modi's words fell.
He Tianya blew on his fingernails.
He said seriously.
"Mr. Minister, I have seriously considered your suggestion, and the value you are talking about is the value after stabilization, but I think the current Lunmwana copper mine is only worth two million dollars. ”
"You ......"
Modi clenched his fists in hatred.
His face was full of anger, and his eyes were also undisguised murderous.
This is the third time he has negotiated with He Tianya.
But He Tianya kept biting the price of two million, so he couldn't continue to talk at all.
In any case, the Lunmwana copper mine will not be sold for $2 million.
If he did, Chiluba would find a reason to kill him when the political situation stabilized.
Modi forcibly suppressed the urge to think that a shot would result in He Tianya.
He continued.
"Mr. Commander, we have shown the highest sincerity, I hope you can also take this business seriously, if you don't take it, I will consider contacting other mercenary organizations. ”
"Your Excellency, are you threatening me, threatening Darkwater?"
"No, I'm stating a fact. ”
"Facts? Do you think other mercenary organizations will ask for dollars or these useless scrap copper mines in your hands?
“…….”
was exposed by He Tianya, and Modi was almost annoyed.
If it weren't for the fact that other mercenary organizations only needed US dollars, if it weren't for the continued low international copper prices, how could he be whispering here.
Damn hyenas.
Modi looked at He Tianya with hatred, and he said angrily.
"You just say how to help us, I want you to give me a clear answer, how to help us. ”
"Plus the Nchanga copper mine. ”
"No, it's impossible, the Nchanga copper mine is worth $300 million, it's absolutely impossible. ”
"Three hundred million dollars? It's worth a maximum of ten million now. ”
Enchanga copper mine, mainly sulfide ore and oxide ore, has proven reserves of 206 million tons.
It is the largest open-pit copper mine in Zambia.
In normal times, its mining can save a lot of costs compared with other copper mines, and it has a high mining value.
In the past, the Nchanga copper mine was mined by the Zambian state-owned Concora Copper Company.
But amid the ongoing unrest and plummeting copper prices, the Chiluba government had to suspend mining at the Ngachan copper mine.
According to Zhao Jiangchuan's plan, the two copper mines in the hands of the Chiluba government can be considered to be within $200 million.
And it is determined to win.
Because, true wealth is always resources.
The position of copper in the industry is completely irreplaceable as a resource.
As long as you can get these two copper mines in Zambia, the return you can get will even be hundreds of times.
But when it came to He Tianya's mouth, Leng pushed the price of the two copper mines to millions of dollars.
This guy has eaten the Chiluba government, and now there is nothing they can do about the political situation.
Ten million dollars.
The price made Modi's eyes gloomy.
He can also see that He Tianya is going to take advantage of the fire to rob.
It's just that with the current situation they are facing, they can only be slaughtered by someone.
Otherwise, if the dominance is gone, there will be nothing.
Modi remembered what Chiluba had left him before leaving, saying that if he couldn't find a way to stabilize the situation in the country, then he would be the end of his role as defense minister.
There is only a dead end waiting for Modi.
He Tianya was too persecuting Modi, he reluctantly.
"Your Excellency, in view of your country's sincerity, Darkwater can barely raise the valuation of the two copper mines to $20 million, which can be regarded as an expression of our sincerity. ”
He Tianya's kindness made Modi angry.
He said angrily.
"You're robbing. ”
"Your Excellency, may I go to President Chiluba and complain about your defamation?"
“……”
Modi choked half to death.
In this situation, they just know that Darkwater is robbing, what can they do.
David's army could take Lusaka at any moment.
In the danger of regime overthrow, everything is not so important.
"If we give you the rights to mine these two copper mines, will it help us stabilize the situation in the country?"
"Your Excellency, you should say that you will sell these two copper mines to Darkwater for twenty million dollars, and then hire Darkwater to help you defend your homeland. Of course, you're not wrong to say that. ”
“……”
Modi is gone.
This time, he walked with ease.
In any case, at least his life was saved at Chiluba.
As for whether Chiluba will agree to sell the two copper mines, that's a matter for Chiluba.
After Modi left, Wu Dalong walked out of the innermost office.
"Commander, these aren't completely stupid, I thought they would keep biting on a hundred million dollars. ”
"There's a gorilla in the orangutan, and you're underestimating these. ”
"And if Chiluba gives us those two copper mines, will we really help them agree to this war?"
"Of course, we have a reputation for Darkwater. It is our duty to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. ”
"What about David. ”
"Chilled. I said that I would help Chiluba win this battle, but I didn't say how long it would take, we could fight slowly, and we could make money by training our soldiers with their soldiers, so why not do this kind of good thing. ”
“…….”
There were no surprises.
The Chiluba government eventually agreed to Darkwater's demands.
When Darkwater took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, both parties signed the contract to confirm.
After that, the Chiluba government couldn't wait for Dark Water to rush to the battlefield.
…….
October 20th.
In just one week, the dollar index rose from 88.65 to 89.12.
Compared to 80.16, when the dollar was at its weakest, it has risen by more than 10 percent.
The change in the relationship between supply and demand has led to a change in the direction of the market.
The currencies of countries that are freely convertible at floating exchange rates have been sold to buy dollars.
This further boosted the dollar's rally.
The strong rise of the US dollar corresponds to the weakening of the prices of other countries' currencies.
The yen, the world's second largest currency, fell below the strongest support at 0.917, and European currencies also fell on the rise of the dollar.
As a result, this is undoubtedly a huge pressure on countries with fixed exchange rate regimes.
Especially Thailand.
It is a highly free and open financial market in its own right.
While other countries can rely on the floating exchange rate adjustment mechanism to cope with the strength of the dollar, Thailand can only rely on its own strength to follow the sell-off in the spot market.
The spot market is also known as the "spot market".
It is a market in which the transaction of financial assets is delivered instantly, and the market opposite the derivative futures market is collectively referred to.
Currencies, bonds, or stocks traded in the cash market are the underlying assets of derivatives.
The FX futures market can have trading volume restrictions, but there are no restrictions in the FX spot market.
A form of foreign exchange transaction in which the buyer and seller in the spot market are transacted on the same day or the next business day.
This kind of transaction is the most common form of trading in the international foreign exchange market, and its basic function is to complete the exchange of currencies.
In just one week, billions of dollars have flowed out of Thailand's foreign exchange reserves.
In order to alleviate the selling pressure in the spot market, the Bank of Thailand had to intervene again in a policy nature.
The interest rate on deposits and loans was raised by 1 percent, from 6 percent to 7 percent.
This is drinking to quench thirst.
But for the Bank of Thailand, there is no other way to stop capital outflows.
Ten years of planning to protect the stock market, 20 years of real estate protection.
But if you want to compare it with the centennial national fortune, you can only protect the exchange rate.
Standing in the position of the Bank of Thailand, only by maintaining the exchange rate can Thailand's future economy and status be preserved.
Otherwise, the only thing that awaits Thailand is the economic reversal.
So.....
The abandoned stock market and real estate industry will only have one result.
Crash.
