Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said: "Mr. Exxon, in fact, this is nothing, I think that place is good, but the exploration and mining rights of that area are now in the hands of Barrick Gold, and if I want to obtain the exploration and mining rights of that area, I must buy these four gold mines." The price of 720 million US dollars is indeed a bit expensive for the exploration rights and mining rights in that area, but it doesn't matter, there is an old saying in our Chinese that is hard to buy and happy. It is for this reason that I want to ask you to be the middleman and buy these four gold mines for me. ”

The U.S. has robust mining laws, but most of them revolve around the most critical exploration leases and mining leases. The exploration and mining leases of about 200 square miles around the four gold mines undoubtedly belong to Barrick Gold, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to obtain the exploration and mining rights in this area, unless Barrick Gold actively transfers or spends money to buy the four gold mines.

Therefore, Tang Feng's statement is also very in line with the actual situation.

But Richard. Exxon knew Tang Feng quite well, and he had vaguely heard that this young man seemed to have a magical prospecting ability, as long as it was the plot he fancied, it seemed that he had never missed. And now he has his eye on this area, could it be that there are really precious metal mines with high value in this area?

For a moment, Richard. Exxon's mind is really moving, as the CEO and president of Freeport Company for less than two years, Exxon also has some ambitions, and he really wants to take Freeport Company to the next level.

If we take this opportunity to win the exploration rights of this land, there may be a great opportunity for Freeport to obtain a world-class precious metal mine at a very small price, which will definitely play a great role in promoting the development of Freeport Company.

And no wonder Richard. Exxon will have such thoughts popping up, you know. He is first and foremost an executive of the Freeport Company, and he is also the highest chief executive, and the development of the entire company has a great relationship with him, so in his position, the first thing to consider is the interests of the company, which is understandable.

But. When Richard. When Exxon looked up and saw Tang Feng's playful smile, a cold sweat suddenly broke out all over his body.

"Damn, how can I think this in front of this person? It's no different from snatching food! This is really a bad star, if he really provokes him, maybe this guy can swallow the Freeport Company in one bite! Damn, Anglo American's lessons are there, how did I get so confused? ”

Don't look at last year's Fortune Global 500 list, Freeport ranked far ahead of Anglo American, but if you really talk about the company's assets. Freeport's total assets will even be half of Anglo American's. And this young man in front of him can swallow a mining giant with a total asset of nearly $70 billion in a month, if he really wants to deal with Freeport, how long will it take to swallow Freeport? Half a month? Ten days? Or a week?

Richard. Exxon doesn't think that Freeport can withstand Tang's attack, even if there is a California consortium standing behind Freeport, don't forget, this young man has a lot of relationships with the three families of Morgan, Rockefeller and Mellon! If the two sides really just got up, the three major families would definitely stand by this young man's side.

Also, if you really take this opportunity to swallow the target that this young man has a crush on. This in itself would be a provocative mistake, if both sides really rose up for it. Under the pressure of Tang Feng and the three major families, it is a huge question whether the California consortium can still protect the Freeport Company

After the thrilling economic war between Europe and the United States more than two months ago, it is estimated that no one is willing to offend the combination of the three major families of Tang Feng and the United States, not even the California consortium!

Thinking of this, Richard. Exxon took a deep breath, stabilized his mind and said, "Mr. Tang." To make you laugh, just now I suddenly remembered something very important, and I was a little distracted. I'm sorry. ”

Tang Feng said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Exxon has a lot of opportunities, and there must be a lot of things on his body." I can understand this, but I asked you about this matter, I don't know what you think, Mr. Exxon? ”

Richard. Exxon didn't even hesitate at all this time, and said directly and cheerfully: "Mr. Tang, we are already allies in a certain sense, so I will handle this matter for you, Mr. Tang, but it may take a little time, about ten days or half a month." You know, this kind of mine handover work has always been more troublesome. ”

Chris on the side. Morgan smiled and said, "We are very grateful that Mr. Exxon is willing to help. "Just now Richard. Exxon's strangeness, Chris also saw it, so at this time, Chris had to show his support for Tang, at the same time that the top executive of the Freeport Company in front of him really did something angry.

Tang Feng also expressed his gratitude very seriously, and said: "Mr. Exxon, in order to show my gratitude, I will give you a gift to Mr. Exxon, I think you will definitely like it very much when you learn about this gift." ”

After a pause, Tang Feng said, "I wonder if Mr. Exxon is interested in the Quiravic copper mine in Peru?" ”

"Quiravik Copper Mine?" Exxon's eyes widened suddenly. As the CEO of Freeport, how could Exxon not know about the newly developed Quiravíc copper mine in Peru? This is a world-class copper mine with reserves of more than 20 million tons, and Anglo American has a 50% stake in it!

"Mr. Tang, what do you mean?" Exxon only felt that his throat was a little dry, compared to the four gold mines in Nevada, the 50% lure of the Quiravik copper mine. The power of confusion is undoubtedly enormous. Today, Freeport is the world's largest private copper company, but among all the world's copper companies, Freeport is only the third, and above him are Chile's National Copper Company and Peru's Southern Copper Company. However, the difference between the copper reserves of the Freeport Company and the two state-owned enterprises is not very large, and the copper reserves of the three companies are more than 60 million tons, but the Freeport Company has just bought the threshold of 60 million tons, while the copper reserves of the first two state-owned enterprises are 65 million tons.

If it can take a 50% stake in the Quiravik copper mine, then Freeport will leap to the top two in the world and become the world's No. 1! (To be continued.) )
