21. Not qualified
With a population of less than 500, the town of Gran is the largest population gathering area within a radius of 100 miles.
The town has an airport, a flying club where you can learn to fly small planes and helicopters and get your license.
Getting off the plane, Ye Mu saw two old buddies, Karn and Thompson.
In the previous casual dinner in Alaska, Ye Mu invited people from the gold rush team to work in Australia, and many people agreed, but only Kahn and Thompson actually came.
"Hey, old man, it's such a pleasure to see you. Ye Mu went over and hugged the two.
"You've got it. Thompson and I were in the ranch and had a hard time. Karn laughed.
There were also a few people standing next to him, and Ye Mu only recognized one of them, Rod, the CEO of the Valley Ranch. He used to be in charge of the operation of the valley ranch......
Rod and Ye Mu were not familiar with each other, they had only met a few times, and they had spoken less than ten sentences, which seemed a little cramped: "Boss, welcome back." ”
Ye Mu smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The situation in the ranch is okay?"
"As it was, everything worked fine. ”
Haki nodded, patted the somewhat airsick prince and princess on the head, and took them into Karn's pickup truck. Zhang Kun and Zhou Chen sat in Rhodes' car......
Exit from the airport and pass through the small town of Glen.
Most of the small towns in central Australia look no different from ghost towns, and in broad daylight, you can see two figures.
Very accurate number, just two people.
To the north, a fairly flat dirt road, the car runs over the dust.
On both sides of the road are pastures, and a house can only be seen from a long distance. It's almost 12 kilometers from the town to the valley pasture......
The valley, as the name suggests, is surrounded by mountains on both sides, in the middle of the valley basin, and there is a river. The Grant Valley, with an area of 47 square kilometres, is the most important forage growing area for the ranch, where half of the employees live.
Australian pastures are usually well planned, a pasture will be divided into many areas, pasture planting is a pasture planting area, pasture storage has a pasture storage area, grazing is carried out in the grazing area, fattening area is fattening area, breeding has a breeding area, milking area has milking area. There are very few cows fed in the valley pasture, which is just for the farm workers......
Back at the ranch, most of the employees were there, mainly to get to know the new boss of Ye Mu. Ye Mu also got to know the heads of various departments, followed him to Rod's office to get the relevant information of the Valley Ranch, and went back to his residence.
There are 15 acres of vineyards in the middle of the valley, and there is a mansion in the vineyards. Two-storey modern style wide-body villa with several ancient trees in the front yard, swimming pool, lawn in the back yard, stables, and access to Moon Lake, the largest lake in the valley.
This is the rancher's house, built by a wealthy Australian man who unfortunately went bankrupt not long after it was built. The houses where the staff stay are outside the vineyards, and they are all good-looking wooden houses.
The villa has been packed up and is ready to move in. In the yard, Ye Mu let the containers sent by the logistics company not fall, including the smuggled super alloy containers.
The size of the villa is about the same size as the house bought in China, because of the architectural style and spacious extency, it looks larger.
Ye Mu visited the house, which was very clean, and the furniture and bedding were all available.
"This house is no worse than the one in your country. Zhang Kun stood on the balcony of the study on the second floor, looking into the distance, the lake shaped like a crescent moon on the opposite side of the endless green, there are pasture, corn, soybeans, barley and other crops, but there are no cattle and sheep: "It's not the pasture, why can't you see the cattle and sheep?"
"This is the growing area, and the pastoral area is lower in the valley. Kahn explained to Zhang: "The ranch has 70,000 cattle and more than 500 horses. The ranch is so large that there are more than two dozen grazing areas. If you want to see the recent grazing, you have to drive for dozens of minutes. ”
Zhang Kun couldn't help pursing his lips......
Ye Mu took out the cigars from the plane from his bag, cut them and handed them to a few people: "You have been here for two months, how do you feel?" Ye Mu said to Karn.
"I can still adapt. But without the rumbling sound of the engine, it always feels like something is missing from life. Karn smiled and lit his cigar.
"Soon it will be. Ye Mu said and raised his wrist and looked at the time: "I just came over, and I am not familiar with this side." I'm sorry for today's dinner, make it a little more hearty. Zhang Kun and I have something to talk about, so call me when they are ready. ”
“OK。 Karn took Thompson back to their quarters, leaving Ye Mu, Zhang Kun, Zhou Chen, and Xiao Hong in the study.
Ye Mu opened the window, sat on the soft sofa and crossed Erlang's legs: "Tell me about your company." ”
Zhou Chen sat opposite Ye Mu and said, "HX Security Consulting Company, the country of registration is in South Africa. ”
"How many people are there now, and how many assets are there. ”
"There are 59 front-line personnel, 17 logistics personnel, and a total of 76 people. In the same type of company, we don't have many people, but all of them are elites. It has assets of about $10 million. ”
"The 76-man security company has 10 million assets, and you are equipped with helicopter gunships and tanks?" Ye Mu suddenly laughed and asked.
Zhou Chen looked embarrassed: "Talent is priceless. ”
"Okay. I'm interested in talking about iron ore. ”
The Azir iron ore mine is located in southeastern Zimbabwe, in a disputed area between two tribal territories, both of which have their own armed groups. In fact, before the discovery of iron ore in Azir, there was no one, and it became a controversial area after the discovery of iron ore.
Zhou Chen has a connection with Anuwa, the leader of one of the armed groups, and the $140 million sale of iron ore was revealed to Zhou Chen by Anuwa, but they want a piece of the mine.
It is the national government that sells the mine, and whether the mine can be mined normally depends on the two tribes......
The approximate form is like this, Zhou Chen said it briefly, and said that the relationship between the two tribes is irreconcilable, no matter how it is handled, it is only a matter of time before the conflict between the two tribes breaks out.
In the international market, the price of 60% grade iron ore is about 60 US dollars per ton, and the profit of a ton of iron ore should be a little more than 30 US dollars if it is not too difficult to excavate and shipped back to China for sale. The explored regional iron ore reserves already exceed 1 billion tons.
"I don't know if you have the guts to eat this piece of fat?" Zhou Chen asked as he watched Ye Mu's fingers keep tapping on the coffee table.
"HX, you have the final say?" Ye Mu asked, looking at him.
"Yes. ”
Zhou Chen used 'yes' and didn't say 'yes'. It should be possible to make decisions, but some important decisions should be discussed with others.
Ye Mu stretched: "I want to invest in your company, how about it? You also need a big backer." ”
"Use money?" Zhou Chen laughed: "Indeed, our company has just started and has no big backers. But on your terms, wanting to be our big boss is a bit ......"
Ye Mu stood up from the sofa and twisted his neck: "Think I'm not qualified enough to participate in your game?"
"Yes. Zhou Chen did not shy away from saying. The main reason he approached Ye Mu was because he had money, and secondly, because he could get on the road with Melina's investment bank. In order to become the owner of the mercenary legion, that is, the boss, it is not enough to have money, you must have your own power.
