"Don, isn't that a bit too much?" Sigman asked cautiously. This tycoon, who is considered to be a powerful man in Argentina and internationally, has rarely flinched at this time.

"Haha, Mr. Sigman, this is just an idea of mine, and I don't know how long it will take to succeed. But as I said, if the Afghan government really takes action against us, I don't mind using this method to fight back! Don't forget, even if it is calculated based on the production of one million tons of pure copper a year, this super copper mine can be mined for at least 50 years, space mining may not be able to be implemented in three or five years, but in ten, eight or even twenty years, will it not be possible? Mr. Sigman, to tell you the truth, I've invested at least $5 billion in this project, which is absolutely unique in the world. And my purpose in doing this is to be able to realize space mining as soon as possible. ”

After a pause, Tang Feng glanced at Sigman, who was a little silent, and continued: "Mr. Sigman, I know that you are preparing to test the government's bottom line, so let's do it, if the Algentan government is willing, I can sell up to 20% of the shares to the Algentine government at a price 10% lower than the market price, and you can bring this up to the relevant personnel at the most difficult time." Of course, if the Afghan government still doesn't give up, you can put forward to them the idea I just said about space mining, and I don't believe that the Afghan government dares to take such a big risk to eat this super copper mine. ”

Hearing Tang Feng say this, Sigman's face finally showed a little smile, with this 20% of the shares in hand, Sigman can calmly maneuver, and finally add his own influence, maybe he can finally handle this matter beautifully.

Tang Feng stood up. He filled Mr. Sigman's cup with some hot water, and then took a sip of his own cup, thinking quickly about an idea.

Some time ago, because Mr. Sigman was willing to open the land under his name to Tang Mining, Tang Feng had the idea of wanting to make a big deal in Argentina, but just now Sigman was mentioning the matter of the Argentine government's forcible acquisition of YPF shares, which made Tang Feng alert.

When the Argentine government forcibly acquired the YPF. Tang Feng is still in his senior year, so he doesn't know much about this matter, and later when he was in the Explorer Company, he also had a more or less in-depth understanding of this matter that almost made the Argentine government and the Spanish government almost turn their faces at that time.

However, Tang Feng never paid attention to this matter before, after all, he had never thought of coming to Argentina to open a mine before. Now that we have decided to open a mine in Argentina, we are really thinking about that.

Perhaps the Argentine government will not impose too many restrictions on copper mines, but it will definitely have strict control over strategic deposits such as oil and gas, otherwise Argentina would not have risked a face-to-face with the Spanish government to forcibly buy YPF's shares.

If you want to build a super oil and gas field on the continental shelf within Argentina's exclusive economic zone in the South Atlantic, as you have set some time ago, you will see. Maybe the Argentine government will really intervene.

Thinking of this, Tang Feng said to Sigman: "Mr. Sigman, in fact, I also plan to look for an oil and gas field on the continental shelf on the southeast coast, I can't guarantee the scale of this oil and gas field, but what I want to know is that if we really find a large oil and gas field, will the current Argentine government under the leadership of President Macri do something angry." I would like to ask you to make this clear through your friends. It would be useful to know the new president's views on foreign investment in the development of oil and gas fields in Afghanistan. This is of utmost importance to us. Of course, if we can find large oil and gas fields on the continental shelf off the coast of Argentina. Then we can commit to building a large oil refinery and a corresponding large petrochemical plant in Argentina, which will provide at least 3,000 new jobs in Argentina. ”

Sigman nodded and said: "I can ask this question, and even I will meet with President Macri and ask his opinion in person, hehe, my personal relationship with President Macri is still quite good." In fact, President Christina instructed the Argentine government to forcibly buy YPF's shares that year. It is because YPF, as the largest oil company, the largest fuel retailer and oil refiner in Afghanistan, has invested in Afghanistan as a proportion of its net profit is quite low, and has failed to provide a strong guarantee for the supply of oil and gas in Afghanistan. Therefore, in order to ensure the effective supply of energy and achieve true economic independence, Argentina must first take the YPF. ”

Sigman's words made Tang Feng nod. Tang Feng also learned a little about this. In fact, YPF, which was established in 1928, was the first state-owned oil company in Latin America and the world, but the company was privatized in 1993. In 1999, Spanish oil giant Repsol bought it for $15 billion and acquired a controlling stake. Since then, Afghanistan's oil and gas resources have basically been in the hands of foreign capital.

As Argentina's largest oil and gas company, YPF accounts for 34.3% of Argentina's total oil production and 23% of total natural gas production. However, it is such a leading oil and gas company, but its contribution to Argentina is quite limited, and even during the period when Argentina's energy demand has continued to rise in recent years, not only did it not ensure the normal use of energy in Argentina, but it made Argentina have an energy deficit for the first time in 2011, which is no wonder that President Cristina opened the knife to YPF at that time.

As other energy giants in Argentina, such as Petrochemical, Petrobras and even Huaxia Petroleum Corporation, Argentina has not taken action against these energy giants because of the guarantee of investment in Argentina.

Therefore, it seems that Argentina's move to "take back energy sovereignty and realize the literal allocation of oil and gas resources" is not aimed at all foreign companies. After all, it is a national policy of Argentina to attract foreign capital to develop domestic mineral resources, and as long as these foreign-funded companies do not go too far, the Argentine government is not willing to risk the risk of being lowered by the international evaluation agency to do this kind of thing.

It can be said that the YPF case can only be regarded as a special case.

But there are two things in this world, and after the Afghan government tastes the sweetness, who knows if they will make a second move?

"Okay, Mr. Sigman, you don't have to worry about the copper mining here for the time being, the mining problem is very easy to say, it's a big deal that we can let the mining company in Afghanistan do this work, during this time, you'd better just run away from the few things I just said, Xuanyuan and I don't plan to stare here, I plan to take him to your other land, what do you think?"

Sigman laughed and said, "I can't ask for this kind of thing!" (To be continued......)
