Chapter 687 The Second Pot of Gold, Touchstone Mining Company
Being the owner of a record company is naturally difficult for Milgina, but for Lin Cheng, it is not a problem at all.
Realizing his promise to Milkina, Lin Cheng did not favor one over the other, and he spent a huge amount of 100 million US dollars to help Li Nina acquire a little-known but powerful mining company, making her the owner of the mining company, and changing the company's name to Touchstone Mining Company.
Touchstone, as the name suggests, is a company mainly engaged in gold mining, the company's headquarters is located in Moscow, but the company's mining area is located in the Republic of Yakutia in the Russian Far East.
The company has the right to mine more than a dozen gold mines in Yakutia in the Far East, but due to financial and manpower constraints, even though it knows that there are dozens of tons of gold reserves under these dozen gold mines, it cannot mine them.
The company's previous owner, Samosolov, suffered heavy losses in this year's financial crisis, and with the huge input in the mine and limited output, he had to resell the company to others.
But the financial crisis has just passed, and all the rich people in Russia are tightening their belts to live, who has spare money to buy Samosolov's mining company!
However, the Russian tycoon did not, but Lin Cheng, a big financier, did, so the mining rights of the Samosolov Mining Company and dozens of mines under its name were swallowed by Lin Cheng.
It is said that Lin Cheng's first pot of gold was gold, and now he has come to Russia to mine gold, Lin Cheng is definitely true love for gold!
It's just that Lin Cheng looked up the laws of Russia, and it is similar to China, gold mined privately in Russia cannot be held or traded, and after the gold is mined, it is preliminarily refined, and then sent to a government-designated smelter for purification and sold to the national bank, and you can get a bill, which can be cashed into rubles at any time.
The ruble exchange rate has now depreciated to more than one to twenty, almost to the end, the ruble exchange rate will not change much in the next ten years, and it is nothing for Lin Cheng to change to rubles, but the mined gold cannot be owned by himself, which is really a great pity for Lin Cheng!
……
On November 20, Lin Cheng and Li Nina took a train to the Republic of Yakutia in the Far East.
At this time, it is really not a good idea to take a train to Yakutia, after all, the winter in Yakutia begins in October, and the temperature outside is as low as minus ten degrees at this time.
Fortunately, there was enough heating after getting into the car, and Lin Cheng finally felt that the whole person came to life under the influence of heating.
Touchstone Mining Yakutia Branch is located in Yakutsk, the capital of the Republic of Yakutia, came to the branch, after getting off the bus, Lin Cheng and his entourage quickly entered the company building to avoid staying outdoors for too long and getting frostbitten.
At this time, nearly ten high-level cadres were already waiting in the lobby downstairs of the company, and as soon as they saw Lin Cheng get out of the car, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and a pair of black-framed glasses opened the door and led the cadres to welcome Lin Cheng and his party in.
This middle-aged man is the former general manager of the Yakutia branch of the Samosolov Mining Company, Kovacic, who has not been replaced by Lin Cheng after the acquisition of the mining company, so Kovacic is now still the general manager of the Yakutia branch.
Although the Touchstone company is headquartered in Moscow, Moscow is far away from the mountains and rivers of Yakutia, and Li Nina felt the need to have a deeper understanding of the Yakutia branch, the most important component of the mining company, so she pulled Lin Cheng to this ghost place where you could directly freeze to death.
The Republic of Yakutia covers an area of more than 3 million square meters, one-third the size of China, and is the largest local administrative region in Russia, but the total population is only a few hundred thousand, which is about the same as a larger county in China.
However, it is such a ghost place, but it has the largest mineral deposits in Russia.
According to statistics, more than 1,500 deposits of different types have been discovered in the territory of Yakutia, including 150 kimberlite pipes, about 600 gold mines, 44 tin mines and the same number of coal mines, 34 oil and gas deposits, 26 mica mines, 7 iron mines, as well as a series of antimony, zeolite, apatite and other mineral deposits.
Yakutia now has 47% of the country's proven coal reserves, 35% of its oil and gas reserves, and 22% of Russia's water resources. In the distribution of Russian resources, Yakutia provides Russia with 100% of antimony, 98% of diamond, 40% of tin, 15% of gold and 24% of diamonds.
According to current assessments, Yakutia concentrates proven and predicted resources for most of Russia's diamond and antimony mines, and many of the proven but currently undeveloped deposits are large, comprehensive and rare deposits.
Obviously, if Lin Cheng really wants to mine in Russia, Yakutia, as Russia's largest mineral deposit, is definitely a place not to be missed, and Russia's major energy companies have also invested most of their resources in Yakutia.
For example, Yukos Oil Company, in which Lin Cheng is a shareholder, Abramovich's Siberian Oil Company, and the famous Russian Northern Iron and Steel Company have all made huge investments in Yakutia.
"Chairman Lin Cheng, General Manager Anna, welcome to you. Kovacic said respectfully.
"Kovacic, thank you. Lin Cheng patted Kovacic on the shoulder and said casually.
"This is what I should do, Lin Dong, General Manager Anna, please!" Kovacic laughed.
Surrounded by Kovacic and other high-level executives, Lin Cheng and his entourage soon came to a conference room, and after everyone sat down according to their ranks, Li Nina, who had gradually grown into the female president of the iceberg, instructed without a smile: "Kovacic, the company's current situation and future development plan, you can report to Chairman Lin." ”
Kovacic said respectfully: "Okay, Lin Dong, General Manager Anna, due to the impact of the financial crisis this year, according to the requirements of the previous chairman Samosolov, the company has successively shut down the mining of oil, natural gas and diamond, and the three major mines of coal, iron and nickel have also reduced the scale of investment, and the company is currently mainly concentrating on gold mining.
As for the future development plan, in view of the ongoing impact of the financial crisis, the company plans to continue to shut down other mines, sell most of the mining machinery, dismiss half of the employees, and reduce the wages of the remaining workers by two-thirds, as long as the workers can have enough food and strength to work, as for the workers' annual labor insurance, it is pointed out that it will simply cancel all ......"
"Stop!"
What kind of mining company did Lao Tzu buy, it won't be the company of the black-hearted coal boss in Jin Province, right?!
