Chapter 633: It's time to make money
Anti-Mongolian governors around the world have received exciting news. America's tycoons sued and sued two senior employees of the group for spreading rumors and slander. The Benihans Group sued the Monesan Group for unfair competition.
Before, they could only protest, and even if they sued, there was no chance of winning. But now it's different. One of the parties to the lawsuit is a conglomerate as large as Meng Sandu.
Link has enough witnesses to back up his lawsuit. Most of those witnesses did not testify voluntarily, but they could only tell the truth in front of reporters and lawyers when they were confronted with gunpoint.
In the face of sufficient evidence, Meng Sandu reacted first: fired two senior executives of the company. and issued an announcement claiming that it was all his personal behavior, and the Mengsandu Group did not know anything about it.
But Link didn't intend to just let the other party go.
The impact of this lawsuit is very large, it is no longer as simple as a civil dispute, but a malicious criminal act that has the potential to destroy the entire agricultural industry.
A large number of farmers and seed dealers are also willing to testify, having offered to order seeds from the Benihans Group.
It has long been known that the Benihans Group does not dare to sell seeds.
Under pressure from the farmers, the court only awarded a fine of more than $100 million for illegally disrupting the business decisions of competitors.
Because of the court's verdict, Oregon has public opinion support. Link's application for a low-altitude flight ban on farms in Southern Oregon was also passed.
Parker and George were directly sentenced to pay more than $24 million in damages to Link. It wasn't enough for them to pay all their assets to Link. However, they have not been able to become vagabonds for the time being, because their actions are no longer just civil cases. In more serious terms, they are deliberately carrying out terrorist activities and conspiring to endanger the security of the United States, and they will be charged by the American prosecutors, and although they are not in danger of going to prison, they may be banned from biochemical related work by the court.
But those have nothing to do with Link anymore.
His civil case was tried quickly because of the abundant evidence and the pressure of public opinion. George and Parker pleaded guilty, and the court completed their trial in less than a month.
At this time, corn and soybeans bloom at Southern Oregon farms. Because of the ban, not a single plane flew in the sky from a low altitude, which also made Link quite reassuring. The Benihans Group has also started accepting pre-orders for corn and soybean seeds.
In mid-September, the weather is still summer in the continental United States, but in Alaska, it has begun to cool, indicating that winter is approaching.
And just then, good news came from the Levin Valley. The first gold mines were mined.
The open-pit deposit over there is progressing quickly without interference, and the ore buried there is relatively shallow, and just yesterday the workers dug up the ore layer.
The other mine is also progressing very quickly, but the mine needs to be expanded to be mined, so although the stratum where the vein is located has been dug up, it is not possible to mine it on a large scale for the time being.
Link thought to himself that winter had come early, and that this was only the first year of mining, and that he should go to the field and listen to Claude's opinion on how to arrange the winter work there.
When he flew to the Levin Valley, he specially let the plane hover overhead.
In mid-air, he could see that the pit had been dug more than two hundred meters deep. The mouth of the pit is at least 1,000 yards wide, but the bottom is only about 200 yards in diameter. A conveyor transports the gold-bearing rock directly to the ore mouth. At the edge of the pit, there are vehicles digging in the ground, and I think there is a plan to expand the mine.
He circled low at altitude for two weeks before letting the plane land.
When the engine stalled after the plane landed, Claude greeted him with a smile.
Link stepped off the plane and shook his hand and said, "I just saw it in the sky, and the mine is going faster than I expected." ”
"That's because you provide enough machinery. ”
Link smiled and said, "Now you've started mining the sands?"
"Yes, this pit is not deep, there are conveyor belts, and ours is more efficient. Now we can transport 1,600 cubic meters of ore per day for screening. ”
Link walked to the car and asked, "Now you can be sure of the grade?"
"Only a few locations have been mined so far, so it's not certain yet, but overall it's up to expectations. ”
"So, how many sands have been screened out so far?"
"By midnight, a total of 1,113 ounces had been screened. ”
More than $1.5 million worth of gold was mined in two days, which is not bad. However, this open-pit gold mine is indeed relatively easy to enter the stage of mining ore, but in order to mine the ore, it takes a long time to dig the earth.
Claude smiled and said, "We all store the sands." Just waiting for you to come, dissolving into gold bricks. ”
They got into the car and drove to the sifting area, and then Claude took him to the place where the golden sand was stored. The big ones are as big as a finger, and the small ones are just a thin slice the size of a toothpick. This shows that the mechanical energy of the sieving ore sieves the vast majority of the gold out.
Link grabbed a handful, feeling heavy. He smiled and said, "Be sure to melt gold here." ”
"Of course not, you can transport it away if you want. ”
Link laughed and said, "I'm planning to take it away." ”
Claude would also like to see that not only because of the greater cost of dissolving gold in the mine, but also because it also requires more running power, because gold dissolving is also a link where gold is easy to steal. A reminder said: "Boss, the price of gold seems to be rising now." ”
Link certainly knows that the gold mine is rising. He nodded and said, "I'm paying attention." I'm not going to just sell this gold. ”
Gold futures have recently started to rebound after a slow decline in the first two months. Maybe others will think that this may be an adjustment. But Link had already been informed by Neil that in September, he would go long backhand. That said, Neil believes that the gold price will generally rise in the future.
These sands are secondary mines, and even if they do not reach the level of pure gold, the gold content must be very high. Sands and BRICS make no difference to him.
Link clapped his hands and slapped the tiny gold back into the box. When they left this room, there were three locks outside. The three locks are held by three people. This is not to guard against robbers, but to guarantee the right of three men to supervise the gold.
