Chapter 408: High-Precision Route
However, Gorman didn't come with Chris and the others to Huaxia this time, he was going to meet with Tang Feng and reconfirm the matter of mining the super gold mine on Gravina Island with Tang Feng.
Tang Mining has too few people, and Tang is not ready to develop Tang Mining into a large company similar to ExxonMobil, Tang Mining's development strategy is to take the "high-precision" route.
The so-called "high-precision" is not a technical line like Microsoft and Google, but a description. In other words, Tang's Mining has taken the route of surveying, finding upstream sources, and then cooperating with some large mining companies to mine with their mining teams.
This operation can allow Tang's mining to avoid bloated structure, with the existence of Tang Feng's humanoid killer, it is best to find the source of minerals, this year, as long as you have the right to mine, then you are the uncle, as for mining, sales or something, it is all part of the downstream process.
In these years, as long as it is mineral resources, it will definitely not be sold, and many large mining companies are facing the dilemma of having no rice to cook because of the dwindling mineral resources. It is precisely for this reason that Tang Feng decided to take such a development route, Tang Mining prospects, and then holding, as for those "unimportant" work, such as mining, beneficiation, sales or something, all handed over to partners to do. Tang's Mining is only a mining company that controls the most upstream mineral sources and a company that controls upstream resources. This is "high-precision".
This approach cannot be replicated, everyone knows that controlling upstream mining resources is the most awesome, but the average company, including any large mining company, does not dare to say that they can find a super rich ore at will, so they must feed a large group of people to carry out surveying, mining, beneficiation, sales and other work.
In the past, when there were many mineral resources, there were enough mineral resources to feed so many people for these large mining companies, but now. With the exception of a few companies, other mining companies are laying off employees almost every year. Why? Isn't it because of the bloated personnel organization that overwhelms these companies?
Tang Feng can't control these things, and he doesn't want to take care of them, as long as I have enough mining resources in my hands, I won't worry about no one coming up and crying and asking for cooperation in these years. Even if you don't make money, at least you can feed a bunch of workers, right?
Beaumont Oilfield. Tang Feng is to cooperate with ExxonMobil, all mining and maintenance personnel are ExxonMobil personnel, and Tang Mining personnel only need to do the usual security, financial supervision, sales supervision and other work OK.
This time, Tang Feng of Gravina Gold Mine also adopted this kind of cooperation. Although Newmont Mining is not qualified to take a stake in Gravina Gold Mine, they have the world's most abundant experience in gold mining operations, and they have become very familiar with each other in the past few days, Tang Feng does not mind entrusting the mining, beneficiation and sales of gold to Newmont Mining.
As long as you do a good job of supervision, it is most appropriate to leave the rest of the professional things to professional personnel.
In either case, the Gravina Gold Mine was handed over to Newmont Mining for development. Undoubtedly the most suitable. Newmont Mining can use this super gold mine to feed their workers and engineers, and at the same time earn a part of the wages, while Tang Mining can rest assured that it will do other work without wasting brain cells on the follow-up investment in this super gold mine.
"Hey, Sam, I've got Gorman and I in talks that if nothing happens, he'll fly to Gravina Island today. When the time comes, the two of you can talk about how to mine and beneficiate according to the specific situation. Sitting in the car to the Houston airport, Tang Feng called Sam.
"Ahh Yes, I'm going to go to Huaxia, and then I'm going to South America, it is estimated that it will take at least half a month and 20 days, maybe longer. Sam, my good job. You have to bother with the construction of Gravina Island, and when I come back, I will definitely visit you as soon as possible Now the temperature over there should have warmed up, so you should be on vacation there."
Hanging up the phone, Tang Feng smiled and said to Gorman: "Man." When you get to Gravina Island, you can just go to Sam and talk to him about the specifics. My original intention was to put the concentrator and the refinery on Gravina Island as much as possible, and as for the investment, you don't have to worry about that, there is such a super gold mine sitting there, and the bankers are already in a hurry, and they want me to lend money to them. ”
Chris on the side. Morgan smiled: "Tang, let's talk about it, if you want a loan, you must find our JPMorgan Chase Bank to take a loan, and I, as the chairman of JPMorgan Chase, I will give you the lowest interest!" ”
"Cut, it's insincere at first glance, we're all partners, what about that gold mine and 20% of your Morgan family's shares, won't you have an interest-free loan?" You can also see a little bit of interest, which is really convincing you! Tang Feng said with a look of disdain.
"This," Chris said in a frustration.
Andrew, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his head with a smile and said, "Don, otherwise, you can take out a loan from our Mellon family's National Bank, and I promise to get you an interest-free loan!" ”
"Hey, hey, Andrew, it's too much, isn't it good to dig the foot of the wall like this?" Chris had a bad complexion.
Andrew didn't move, "Man, I'm just telling the truth, I'm just a member of our family, I haven't been the chairman of the National Bank yet, I can get interest-free loans, you are the chairman of JPMorgan Chase, tsk"
It seems that this mutual dismantling between friends is also a frequent occurrence.
Chris glanced at Tang Feng, who had been smiling and not speaking, and then at Andrew, who was as immobile as a mountain but with an indescribable charm in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Tang, how much do you need to borrow, I will give it to you, isn't it interest, this is simple, I will give you a waiver!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst out laughing, and Tang Feng patted Chris on the shoulder and said, "Man, this is like the chairman of a big bank!" Well, since you, the chairman, have agreed, then I can't live up to your kindness, can I? I have decided to borrow $500 million from you JPMorgan Chase for the construction of the concentrator and refinery of the Gravina gold mine! ”
Chris rolled his eyes and muttered, "Why do I think you're ganging up on me?" $500 million, oh my God, how much interest do I have to lose" (to be continued......)
