At night, Tang Ming returned to his bedroom, locked the door, and entered the Xia He Cave Heaven.

He took out his tools from the hut and went to the place where the golden tree was placed and began to work.

Some time ago, dozens of golden trees were cut down, and they were all cut into three-meter-long logs, but the bark on some logs had not yet been peeled off.

When he was working, time passed quickly, and he had just finished peeling the bark on a few logs, and the time was more than twelve o'clock, Tang Ming put down the tools in his hand, went out of Xia Hedongtian, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

The next morning, Tang Ming sent Cornelia and Big Fat Er Fat back to the Gold Coast, and he drove back in a helicopter himself.

After the helicopter landed, he got down from the helicopter and walked to the door to see Song Qian coming.

Tang Ming stood at the door and waited for a while, Song Qian walked up to him, handed him a stack of papers in his hand, and said, "Boss, this is the information of the tobacco company you asked me to help you check." ”

Tang Ming took it, looked down, raised his head and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Song Qian smiled: "Don't bother, boss, if it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

"Hmm." Tang Ming nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Song Qian left, he returned to the house with these materials, sat in the living room and looked at it.

After a brief look, he learned that Imperial Tobacco Company was the world's top tobacco company, one of the world's top 500 companies, very powerful, with its own brand and factory in Australia, and at the same time had some understanding of Australia's tobacco policy.

Australia's tobacco tax is actually heavier than China's, and the tobacco tax is still increasing, the price of cigarettes is also increasing, and thirty or forty Australian dollars of cigarettes have become the norm.

"Thirty or forty Australian dollars into renminbi is one or two hundred yuan, and Australian smokers are very hard." Tang Ming calculated in his heart and mourned for the smokers in Australia, such a high price is that people with a monthly income of three or four thousand Australian dollars cannot afford to smoke.

As for the quality of this policy, it doesn't matter to him, he is not a smoker, and even if he is a smoker, there is no cigarette in the world that he cannot afford to smoke.

But with this information, he had a clearer idea of whether to cooperate with Imperial Tobacco.

As he pondered, Mike came in with a man in his forties.

Mike said, "Boss, this is Mr. Kelvin, sent by Imperial Tobacco. ”

Tang Ming thought to himself that as soon as he thought about the Imperial Tobacco Company, they sent someone over, what a coincidence.

And judging from the time between these two times, Imperial Tobacco takes this matter very seriously.

Thinking about it, Tang Ming said, "Please be seated, Mr. Kelvin." ”

"Thank you." After Kelvin thanked Tang Ming, he sat down and said, "Mr. Tang, I came here once a few days ago, and you weren't at home that time, and I'm really sorry to come over to disturb you this time." ”

Tang Ming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, what is the purpose of Mr. Kelvin coming here?" ”

Kelvin said: "Well, our company learned about the golden alcohol and wanted to work with Mr. Tang to develop a healthy tobacco. ”

Tang Ming asked: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, how did Mr. Kelvin and your company know about the golden alcohol, and the paper on the golden alcohol has not yet been published." ”

Kelvin said: "There is a gentleman in our company who graduated from the University of Sydney, he is a classmate of Professor Pei Yuanping, and he has a very good relationship. ”

"Oh, I see." Only then did Tang Ming know that Pei Yuanping had studied at the University of Sydney, otherwise he would not have entered the University of Sydney.

Tang Ming then asked, "Then how does your company want to cooperate?" ”

Kelvin said: "Now our company has prepared two plans, the first is to cooperate in setting up a factory, Mr. Tang will invest in gold alcohol, and our Imperial Tobacco Company will invest in capital, technology and factories, each accounting for half of the shares, and the second is that our Imperial Tobacco Company will spend money to buy the gold alcohol in Mr. Tang's hands, and we will give Mr. Tang a very high price, and at the same time hope that Mr. Tang can sign a contract with our Imperial Tobacco Company, and the global development of gold alcohol in tobacco companies will only be handed over to our Imperial Tobacco Company." ”

Tang Ming pondered, feeling that these two plans were good, but he didn't know how to choose now, thought for a while, and said, "Let me think about it." ”

"Excuse me about Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang can call me if he thinks about it, I'll leave first." Kelvin knew that the business was not negotiated at one time, and Tang Ming had great hope if he didn't directly refuse, so he left Tang Ming a business card and left.

Tang Ming sat in the living room and thought about it for a while, still not knowing how to choose, when Tony's phone called.

Tony arrived in the United States this morning, and he called Tang Ming when he was done.

Tang Ming happened to be troubled by this matter, so he told the matter again and asked Tony to help think about it.

"Congratulations." Tony said first, and then said: "In my opinion, these two plans are good, but the first plan obviously ties you to the Imperial Tobacco Company, and you have to participate in the operation, which should be the most annoying thing for you, as for the second plan, they want the global development rights of Golden Alcohol in tobacco, just give it to them, but you have to negotiate the price and time, and you can't always authorize them." ”

Hearing Tony say this, Tang Ming suddenly brightened up and said, "Tony, if you don't kick out the Imperial Tobacco Company, let's cooperate." ”

Tony refused: "Forget it, I don't want to touch the businesses of tobacco, oil, medicine, arms, and mining, these businesses are too deep to be done with money." ”

Tang Ming has not been in contact with the previous few businesses, and he can't feel anything, but he feels the same way about the mining industry, and now Gaoshan Mining Company has a feeling of difficulty.

Of course, this has something to do with Tang Ming offending BHP Billiton, and with this industry giant making an obstacle, the future of Gaoshan Mining is dark.

Tang Ming said: "Okay, let's cooperate with good projects in the future." ”

After ending the call, Tang Ming thought for a while and went upstairs.

……

Kelvin didn't let Tang Ming wait longer, and he came over on the third day, along with a few other people, one of whom was an old man in his fifties who was Jaspar Rafael, the executive vice president of Imperial Tobacco, and a classmate of Professor Pei.

Tang Ming said his idea, and Jasper Rafael agreed, but there were objections to the price and authorization time.

Tang Ming asked for $10,000 per kilogram of golden tree bark for a one-year authorization, which Jasper Rafael thought was too expensive and the authorization period was too short, and the two sides began heated negotiations. (To be continued.) )
