Link spent a few days in the Goldmine Valley.

During this time, he also met with the exploration team that was still working, but this time the exploration team went out into the field and failed to find new gold deposits. Link wasn't disappointed either.

He bought the surrounding land, only suspecting that there might still be a primary mine. But he had long been mentally prepared that the land was worthless.

In the few days he had been here, there had been no such blasting in the land to the south, except for the blasting he had heard on the first day. None of the less powerful ones. For several days in a row, the mining work at the mine was not disturbed,

This result made him laugh in his heart.

In many cases, money is indeed a good thing. The concession of more than 10 million dollars made that Sylmalev have to stop temporarily.

He called Petrov again, first thanking him for his help, and then asking about it.

It was learned that the other party had asked the officials of the Magadan region to make a small operation against Sylmarev's sable farm through officials in Moscow. "I need to thank you Russian officials for their impartiality," he said with a smile. ”

As if he had heard some joke, Petrov laughed for a while before saying, "I paid four million dollars to get them to enforce the law impartially." ”

"Four million dollars, how long will it take for them to be impartial?"

"Until I'm satisfied, of course. As long as you are satisfied with this matter, I will also be satisfied. ”

That's good news for Link. He smiled and said, "Thank you, but Petrov, do you think that Hilmalev would be willing to sit down and talk to me calmly?"

"I'm sure he will. Petrov said with certainty. All the fur from his sable farm is exported to England. I found out that he had a fur factory in the UK. I heard that the profits there are very high. It seems like I made more than $100 million last year. ”

"That's really big business. ”

$100 million doesn't seem like much to a lot of rich people. But a $100 million stock rise and a $100 million in actual revenue are two different things.

As for the story of getting rich overnight in the speculative market, it seems that $100 million is not a big deal.

But in the speculative market, people usually only remember what they eat and don't remember what they eat. If you make money, you will be publicized, and you will always know if you lose money. The same person, after a year, there will be times when they make money, but there will also be times when they lose money. How much you can earn in the end, it's hard to say.

And the money in the speculative market is far from your own money.

The $100 million in real industry income is real money, and if it is used well, it may be possible to do what other billion-dollar worth of assets can do.

So, Link really thinks it's big business. And that's good news for him, too.

A business with an annual income of $100 million is really big business for Shilmalev. If he loses this big business, he doesn't know how much timber he has to sell to make so much profit. In particular, the timber business is essentially his entire family's. It would be nice if he could get a share of forty or five hundred thousand dollars a year. And the furriers in England are his private business.

It can be said that the fur business in England was more important to Hilmalev than the family's lumber business.

He waited for a few days, but there was no good news for him from Magadan Oblast. Instead, it brought not-so-good news: after the farm was shut down, the government asked them to safely destroy the sable and blue lakes that had tried the illegal drugs.

Of course they wouldn't do that.

If it were in the United States, that would not have happened. But that was in Russia. If they go to make an administrative appeal, the law is not on their side.

Because the fur business is resisted in Western countries – even though they don't reject it – Russia has not developed a standard for the production of fur. So the animals that produce fur are subject to the standard specifications of the animals they farm.

The problem is that most of those animals are bred for meat. Carnivores are required by law to be destroyed as long as illegal drugs are used.

When necessary, the Russian courts also have laws to follow, so they can't win even if they go to the lawsuit. They can only open the way with money.

But this time, those officials didn't know that they had hit the evil road, and they didn't charge any more money.

Just now, his partner told him the latest news: "I spent $50,000 before an official told me that this time it was a high-ranking federal official." Exactly that, he wouldn't say. We have to come up with a way as soon as possible, otherwise they could forcibly destroy our furs at any time. ”

"I see!" said Shirmalev, who was silent for a moment. "Let me think about it first!"

Petrov, as well as high-ranking officials of the Federation. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was the hand of Link Hans. His partner insisted that he had not offended Petrov, nor had he offended anyone of weight.

If it's not his partner's problem, it's his problem.

And he may have offended some people before. But none of them caused problems in the fur business on the Russian side. This time I offended Link Hans, and the other party had just arrived in Alaska not long ago. Something happened on the Russian side.

The person who made the move had a close business relationship with Link Hans, so he had a motive to make a move. To drive those high-ranking officials, in addition to face, money is a must. If you want to get the high-ranking officials of the Federation to sell, you must need a lot of money. And the last thing Link lacks is money.

He pondered for a while, and finally picked up the phone and made a call: "Lovech, what's going on over there at Link Hans's gold mine?"

"Nothing special was found. ”

"No one came looking for you?"

"Nope. ”

Hilmalev grimaced and said, "Go to them and find the person in charge of them...... What's his name? Clayton?"

"Claude. His name is Claude. ”

"You go talk to him and ask him if he's interested in buying our land. ”

"Boss. The gold mines here are gone?"

"It's just a scrap mine! And, Lovich. There must be no more blasting during this time. ”

Lovich immediately said: "As you ordered, we have suspended the blasting operation. ”

The purpose of the blasting on Hilmalev's land was not to mine gold.

That primary mine was explored in the early years, and the veins were very small. And the taste is not high. There is simply no value in large-scale mining.

And the secondary gold mines in that land were mined as early as the forties and fifties of the last century. The latitude of that land is high, and although there are forests, the growth of trees is slow, and the proportion of forest land is relatively small. So that land has no value.

But when Link Hans suddenly wanted to buy the surrounding land after exploring that valley, he realized that Link must have actually discovered gold. When Link's men approached him and offered to buy the land. He did not refuse, but offered a price of two hundred million dollars.

His land was indeed very large, 80,000 acres. There are many streams in it. But it takes at least a few decades for the trees to be cut down again. As for those streams, there is indeed gold in the sand, but the grade is too low for large-scale mining at all. Unless it's a guy who takes a sieve bucket to remove the sand, he might be able to make a few hundred dollars a day. But mechanized mining may not even be able to recover the cost of labor and fuel.

Therefore, no matter how big the land is, it is not worth much. According to the market price, that piece of land is only worth 10 million US dollars.

He offered $200 million because he felt that Link Hans had a plan and would have to pay a high price to achieve his goal. Even if he haggles, he can sell for a good price.

Unexpectedly, after he quoted a high price, Link Hans did not move, but the nearby land was bought.

When the valley that Link had bought first was populated with a large number of people and started building factories, he knew he had guessed right.

When he learned that there was going to be underground mining, he had blasting on his side of the land. Those blasts cost tens of thousands of dollars each time[32] of explosives. In order to force Link to buy his land in order to mine smoothly.

But now he found that Link might not be able to deal with him in Alaska, but he could deal with him in Russia.

Russia is currently the only country in the world that can provide the fur he needs. $200 million, and $100 million a year in business. That's more important, as long as you're not stupid, you'll know which one to choose.

He said to the phone, "You tell him that our land only needs 20 million dollars." ”

By the time Locke approached Claude, Link, who had received his assignment, had already left Alaska. No sooner had his plane than it flew over the open sea when he received a call from Claude.

"Are you willing to sell that land for $20 million?"

"Yes. The supervisor over there came to me. He's still waiting. ”

Link tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Tell him I don't have much interest in that land." He paused and said. "It's too expensive. ”

Claude thought for a moment and asked, "Do I need to reply to him in your original words?"

"Of course. I replied to him in my original words. ”

After he hung up the phone, he sneered in his heart. Shirmalev made a start, and now he can't play anymore, and he wants to stop when he says "stop playing".

Play if you want to, stop if you don't want to play? Where is there such a good thing in the world?

What's more, more than 80,000 acres of land, if it were in the United States, 20 million dollars seems very cheap. But that's Alaska. Fifty dollars per acre of land is too expensive, which means that at market value, the land is worth up to five million dollars. Hilmalev wanted to make peace, but he still wanted to make a fortune on him.

Such a good thing does not exist.
