Chapter 737: Security Incident
"Then I'll just say it~"
"Well, Mr. Taylor has anything to say, you know, and I've always been grateful to you. >”
Taylor looked at several black-clad men near the stairs, shocked by the change in Hua Guofang's eyes. How long has it been? In less than two years, this poor student from China has completed a magnificent transformation and become the boss of a group company worth tens of billions of dollars, which is really a miracle.
Of course, they are all industry insiders, and some of the shady things that Fang Yuanshan has done, Taylor has heard about some of them. However, in his opinion, there is no problem, in Chinese dialect, it is a king or a loser, and he will definitely face many reproaches if he fails, but now that he has succeeded, there is no problem.
Thinking of some of his past events, Taylor's heart sighed for a while, and then he remembered his own situation, the expression on his face darkened, and then said: "Our company has had a little change recently, so I came here to discuss something with you." ”
"Well, I'm listening~"
"You know, as the global economy recovers, there was a lot of opportunity for our company. Unfortunately, we have a problem at one of our mines in Australia, and now we are facing a huge fine. ”
"Mr. Taylor, I understand your feelings, this is indeed a great pity. Fang Yuanshan nodded understandingly.
Just last Wednesday, more than a million cubic metres of waste sludge and wastewater from a dam in southwestern Australia that stored iron ore waste and wastewater collapsed, flooding several nearby hamlets and killing 12 people, leaving more than 2o missing and more than 8oo homeless.
These are not the key things, the most important thing is that the iron ore waste that has been poured out has covered more than 3o kilometers, flooded many communities, destroyed crops, and when the waste flows into the river, it causes the death of many aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp and turtles, and severely destroys the environment and ecology.
According to reports, all the $600 million assets of the "Sherlock" company in Australian banks have been frozen, and the Australian government plans to issue a huge fine to punish the "Sherlock" company for its improper actions in this matter.
Such a huge safety accident was born in the body of the "Hillock" company, which can be said to be a house leak that happened to rain overnight. The impact of the financial turmoil has just passed, and they were about to usher in a big exhibition, but they were hit hard by this catastrophic accident.
Now "Shylock" is not thinking about the company's exhibition, but how to digest the bitter fruits of this matter. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as losing money, and maybe even the company would have to declare bankruptcy.
Just as he was thinking about these things, Taylor on the other side looked into his eyes and said, "Fang,
After careful consideration by the Board of Directors, we have decided to abandon our business in Brazil. We've all resold the iron ore area to Vale, and the remaining colored gemstone mines don't know if you're interested?"
"Gem Mine?"
"I....... Why the hell did you forget about the gem mines of the Shylock Corporation?"
After Taylor said this, Fang Yuanshan suddenly remembered that this company still holds 15 percent of the entire Brazilian colored gemstone market! In particular, the "blue tourmaline" produced by their company has always been deeply loved by customers in Europe and the United States, and it can be regarded as one of the main businesses of Shylock in Brazil.
It can't be said that Fang Yuanshan has forgotten about their company, mainly because the annual revenue ratio of their gem mine is very good, and it can be regarded as an "old hen" who can lay golden eggs, and there is really no need for people to sell and do this kind of thing of killing chickens and eggs. And there is another point, these two gem mines are so profitable, if they are really sold, the price will be very high, and it is beyond the reach of the distant mountains ahead.
But now it's different, after buying several ruby mines in "Samarko", he still has more than two billion dollars in his hands, which is more than enough to buy their ruby mines.
Again, if you can really take all the gem mines in the hands of the Shylock Company, then the meaning will be different. You must know that 65 percent of the world's colored gemstones are produced in Brazil, and after Fang Yuanshan buys the gem mine of the Shylock Company, he will have 40 percent of the market share in Brazil, which is indirectly equivalent to nearly 30 percent of the world's colored gemstone market.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Fang Yuanshan adjusted his breathing rate and asked, "Can you tell me the approximate price?" You know, our company has been buying gem mines on a large scale recently, and the funds are a little tight. ”
"We are going to sell the five major gem mines in Pernambuco and Paraíba at once, and several other large jewelry processing centers are also being sold in a package, how about you?"
As a major producer of coloured gemstones, Brazil's jewellery processing is among the best in the world. These gemstones are mined to cut, set and designed in Brazil, so they are very competitive in price. The gem mines and processing centers that Fang Yuanshan bought before accounted for one-fifth of the purchase price.
Hearing that the old man was not in a hurry to answer his question, Fang Yuanshan knew that the price might not be low. Without rushing to ask again, UU reads the book (#46; uukanshu.com) Leaned down / leaned down and smoked a cigarette from under the coffee table, opened it and handed it to Taylor, and only laughed in the curling smoke after lighting it: "Of course, since I decided to buy it, these gem processing centers must also be bought, I don't know how to set and design, hehe~"
Taylor laughed as well, but unfortunately his smile looked a little reluctant due to the heavy blow caused by the Australian mining disaster. Then he thought for a moment before saying, "The five mines and the supporting jewelry processing centers will be sold as a whole, a total of 2 billion US dollars, and the board of directors will not accept the fluctuation of more than 1 percent." If you accept this price, then we will send someone to contact your company. ”
"Two billion, two billion ......"
His fingers tapped quickly on the armrest of the sand beside him, and there was a fierce ideological struggle in his mind. If these large gem mines are acquired, their company will not have a big acquisition plan in the short term, at least until all the gem mines are integrated before they can continue their expansion.
There was silence for about five minutes before he finally stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Taylor, if there is no problem with Yiqiē, I think I am willing to buy those mines." ”
From the beginning of the meeting to the present, Taylor finally showed a smile, stood up and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!~"
After Anne came back in the evening, Fang Yuanshan told the little woman about the bombshell news, and she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, and looked at him stupidly and said, "Shouldn't there really be two rich women to support you?"
"Haha, is it you, a little rich woman, who raised me?" said as he hooked her chin and pecked on it!~
The two of them laughed for a while, and then began to discuss the acquisition of the Hillock Corporation's gem mine......
