After dinner, he didn't rush to look at the contents of the box, called Anne over and followed him up to the living room on the second floor, and said to the sofa opposite, "Sit down and say." ”

"Today that Taylor talked to me about South Ferris Ridge, and their company intends to sell a stake in the "New South American Joint Venture", what do you think?"

"It depends on what you think, boss, if you are confident in the future price of ore, then of course it is worth buying. ”

"I'm not worried about it, it's about funding. They're going to sell 20 percent of the shares, how much will it cost me to buy them all?"

Seeing that Anne was about to say something, he waved his hand to stop it: "You don't need to say those technical terms or anything, in words that I can understand." ”

"Yes!"

Anne nodded: "According to the agreement between Sherlock and Vale, they will each contribute $1 billion, accounting for 49 percent and 51 percent of the shares respectively, and if you want to take that 20 percent of the shares, not counting the premium, you need $400 million for the shares alone." ”

"But Mr. Fang doesn't have to worry, the money is invested in batches. If you count your previous 11 percent stake, you'll need to invest about $1555 million a year for three years. ”

It's not that he doesn't know, but he was suddenly startled by this calculation. 150 million, still dollars, just listening to this number made him feel suffocated.

During this time, he was both Japanese and Russian, and he took out money everywhere, and there was only so much to add a piece, which made him a little discouraged. It seems that he is really not the material to make money~

It's been tossing for almost a year, and now it's a small company. I don't know if the company's annual profit is enough for the interest of this 150 million US dollars!

"Anything else?"

"Everything else is the agreement between you and Mr. Taylor. ”

"Okay, I see, you go first, let me think about it. ”

Wait for Anne to leave. He sat alone on the couch thinking about money. If he wants to talk about funds, he is actually not too worried, if nothing else, those piles of gold jewelry in the space alone are enough to win those shares.

The problem he is thinking about now is mainly the future development problem, it turns out that if he has no money, even if he doesn't have it, it is in vain to think about it. Now it's different, as long as you don't engage in big investment and big development. It's enough to play with his cash flow.

There is also the matter of Hillock Company, if he accounts for 31% of the shares, he will definitely have to participate in the management. However, the Shylock company also had to participate in the management, which made him a little unhappy.

The so-called: I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, and just pay some money and wait for the dividends~ But since we want to manage, we must not be led by the nose, the Shylock company is still holding on to 18% of the shares, and it is obvious that I want to wait for the future to ease my breath.

The thought that there might be other troubles in the future made him feel annoyed. I regret my reckless stake in this new South American joint venture.

Cooperating with a monopoly group like Vale in Brazil is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and when I heard such a resounding name as Vale, I agreed to buy a stake at the time.

However, after the contract was signed, it was discovered that the South Ferris Ridge was a barren land at all, and it was a tasteless and discarded chicken rib for Vale, so the Rashlok Company came to invest.

Vale, on the other hand, has taken advantage of its monopoly to buy Canada's Inco in 2007 and Australia's AMCI in 2008, and is believed to be planning to buy Xstrata.

Vale is the power of Brazil alone. Create a super-large state-owned enterprise and take advantage of tax incentives. Concessions are granted to control scarce resources and exclude competitors in areas such as railways, roads, ports, and capital markets. If Fang Yuanshan cooperated with him, it would be tantamount to being in an extremely vulnerable position, so he had to think carefully about what kind of way to intervene?

Taylor, the old fox, can't be trusted, now that the entire market economy is in a downward trend, it is not so easy for him to find a pick-up man.

It's not a beauty difference. It's nice to say, but it's real money. He didn't believe they could find someone so quickly, and they had a contract with Vale, and they had to invest a lot of money every month, and they certainly couldn't afford it.

Thinking about this nonsense upstairs. For more than two hours, several women downstairs were leaning together and whispering, and Locke was also looking at the things on the computer, not knowing what they were doing.

When they saw Locke, Fang Yuanshan thought that they hadn't called that "Adolf" yet! He took out the phone from his pocket and found the phone number of the head of the field support department and dialed it.

"Hello Mr. Fang, is there anything wrong?"

"Well, is that English Lance your employee?"

"Lance, his contract has expired, and he's free now. What, Mr. Fang, do you want to hire him?"

Hearing that Lance no longer belonged to the Blackwater Company, he couldn't help but sweat~ Anyway, he asked people without asking, which seems to be a bit bad, making people think that he wants to dig the foot of the wall!

"Yes, I think he's very good, so I wanted to hire him. ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Fang, I'm afraid I can't be the master. Can you try to contact him personally, do you need me to give you a call?"

"Okay!"

He hung up the phone and didn't call Lance, it seemed a little inappropriate for him to call recklessly, and it was better to leave this matter to Locke to inquire.

He remembered the box again when he was okay for the time being, and Shi Shiran walked down the stairs and went to the basement along the small door on the side. The overhead light illuminated the basement as bright as day, and he turned around and carefully closed the door before he walked inside.

put out the black box, and there was a "bang" ~ There was a crisp sound where the box touched the floor, obviously this box was not gold but copper.

I searched around the vault but couldn't find a rag, so I had to find a T-shirt from the space that I had worn before. Carefully wiped the box with a cotton T-shirt, and the heavy box was already felt in the process of wiping.

Remove the moss and black rust from the box, and the box will reveal its original appearance. The boxy copper cabinet, covered with patina that could not be erased, had some round rivets at the four corners, and a flower lock hung in the middle of the box directly opposite him. Looking at the modeling process, it is very much the atmosphere of the European Renaissance era.

With the hardness of the lock on this box, he just dragged it hard~ But considering that this box is not good, it can be regarded as an antique, so think about it.

Bent down and raised the lock to see, the shape of this lock is very beautiful, if in addition to patina, this lock can be used as an ornament. But after all, it is the previous lock cylinder, and it is certainly not complicated, and this lock decoration is larger than the actual use.

Took out a wire from the space and pulled out the impurities in the keyhole. The bright light above his head poked him in the keyhole with wire, but unfortunately he didn't move. Later, he patted his head and remembered that this box had been soaked in the sea for an unknown amount of time, and the circlip inside was probably useless for a long time.

"Hey~ Is such a beautiful lock really broken?"

I don't know if it's depressed or distracted when trying to figure it out, the hand holding the flower lock is obviously too forceful, and with a "click", the lock on the box falls off......

"I, ......" Fang Yuanshan, who was holding the flower lock, suddenly couldn't cry or laugh~

Seeing that the box without the lock closure had already revealed a gap, he had no choice but to put the lock aside.

Gently open the lid of the box, and "ho~" half a box of seawater inside. And the surrounding area of the box is also slowly leaking water stains.

There was a safe in the basement, and in order to prevent the water from spilling out, he reached in and fished out all the contents and put them on the ground on the side.

There is nothing special in the box, it is all oxidized gold coins, oh~ There are also some women's ornaments, and a small bead inside is something he senses, and this feeling is much stronger when he holds it in his hand.

After a long period of immersion in seawater, it has lost its original appearance. Except that it feels a little heavier, there is nothing special about it. I threw it in my hand, and I looked like I was about half a catty.

If you don't understand something, let's put it first, the space doesn't feel this thing too strongly. That means it doesn't need this kind of thing too much, and maybe it can sell it for some money in the future!

The T-shirt that had just wiped the box was now full of gold coins, which he had just turned over with his hands, and they were all very light, only four or five grams at most. There are quite a lot of them, and it looks like there are at least three or four thousand. , but it's not much, it's only ten or twenty kilograms.

The price of gold has only risen to 240 grams now, and there must still be impurities in these ancient golds, and he suddenly looked disappointed. With a stretch of his hand, he put all the gold coins into the space.

There were still a few ornaments that couldn't be seen in their original appearance, and he also put them into the space in one go, and now it was eight or nine o'clock, and he didn't have time to continue to check here.

When he returned to the house, Yuan Gaoyang and Johnson were standing inside like javelins, and Fang Yuanshan said happily: "What are you doing over there?"

Yuan Gaoyang's face followed and he said with a smile: "Stand for a while and practice your spirit, or it will be time to degenerate." ”

"Oh~ Then you guys practice!"

Just as he wanted to go upstairs, he turned around and asked, "By the way, you two are familiar with that Lance, right?"

"Yes. Is there something wrong with the boss looking for him?"

"I want to hire him, what do you think?"

"Very good idea, in the future, the boss will be under his monitoring within a radius of 500 meters~"

"Damn, such a?"

At this time, Yuan Gaoyang smiled, nodded and said, "Yes! But his annual salary is very high." ”

"How tall?"

"About $1 million!"

The distant mountains below understand that if this price is in Blackwater, I am afraid it will have to be doubled. The company helps them with tasks and provides equipment support, including intelligence support, which is not just talk.

Yes, the asking price of the elites of these special forces is high~ and it may not be useful to them for a long time, it seems that it is completely unnecessary to hire them at such a high price, and you can find an ordinary mercenary with this money.

But Fang Yuanshan didn't think so, Locke's professional skills, social background, way of doing things, etc., made him think that the money was well spent.
