Tang Feng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Chris, you can rest assured this time, you can have as much interest as you want, and our Tang's Mining is not short of this interest money." Chris, how much money do you think I'd need to be able to deal with Anglo American in the stock market? ”

Chris said: "Don, now is a really good time to deal with Anglo American in the stock market. Last year, 2015, Anglo American had a pretty poor performance on the stock market, with its share price on the London Stock Exchange falling by 74.7% last year, while its share price on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange also fell by 67%, and the market value of the entire Anglo American Group shrank by two-thirds. That's why Anglo American announced 85,000 layoffs at the end of last year, because they were about to run out of action. Anglo American has had a rough year as well, but they are now a little better off than last year because they have divested some of their bad assets and laid off good results. But if you really want to deal with them, it's actually quite simple. ”

Andrew on the side took over and said: "Don, Chris is right, now the total assets of Anglo American are about 66 billion US dollars, but their debt ratio is as high as 73%, last year Anglo American lost a total of about 2.5 billion US dollars, although they have reduced their operating expenses by laying off employees and divesting non-performing assets this year, but their performance has not improved significantly this year." In the information disclosed in the middle of the year, they were still in a state of loss in the first half of the year, so now in the stock market, you only need to use $30 billion to completely knock him down. And even if you want to do a hostile takeover, that's more than enough! ”

Tang Feng nodded slightly. After thinking for a while, he said: "Sam, take out 15% of the shares of Tang Mining under my name and mortgage them to the banks of the Chris and Andrew families respectively, and I will attack Anglo American." Chris, Andrew, you two can look at the 15% stake in my name, but I need a minimum of no less than $30 billion in cash! Chris. You find me a few masters from your JPMorgan Chase or Morgan Stanley, and I'm going to swallow Anglo American! ”

At first, Tang Feng just wanted to give Anglo American a ruthless attack on Anglo American in the stock market, but now when he heard Andrew say that he could buy Anglo American for less than $30 billion, Tang Feng's mind suddenly changed!

The biggest blow to the enemy is to make the enemy his own subordinate, and Tang Feng finds it very interesting just thinking about this scene. As a result, Tang decided to make a hostile takeover of Anglo American.

Anyway, it's already torn apart, so there's nothing more effective than using this method to hit Anglo American. Moreover, although Anglo American is in a difficult situation now, the resources and channels owned by this company are not owned by Tang's Mining, and if the world's fourth-ranked integrated mining group is swallowed, it will also be a very good result for Tang's Mining.

Tang's Mining can fully rely on Anglo American's channels and some resources. Consolidation of those mines under the name of Tang Mining. If Anglo American is really swallowed, then with the original assets of Anglo American and the excellent mineral source of Tang's Mining, this integrated mining company will become a mining giant that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. When it comes to the quality of the minerals, this newly established mining company can even surpass Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton!

The most critical thing is that the fuse of the big fight between the two major groups in Europe and the United States is the joint attack of the eight major gold producers promoted by Anglo American Group to block Newmont Mining. If Anglo American hadn't taken the lead, Gorman's Newmont Mining wouldn't have become what it is now.

Tang Feng's character can't be said to be retribution. But this guy is definitely not a pot-bellied, especially to the enemy. Tang Feng has always believed in a tooth for a tooth! Therefore, if he could take this opportunity to swallow the culprit directly, Tang Feng would still be very happy to do so.

Now Tang Feng is not short of money, and the shares in his hand can be exchanged for enough funds for him if they leak a little. Relying on the Beaumont Field, the Gravina Precious Metals Mine and the St. Lawrence Copper Mine alone is enough for Tang to dare to attack any mining company in the world. If the copper mine in Arica, Chile is "developed", plus the more than 1.6 billion carats of gem-quality natural diamonds and nearly 30,000 tons of precious metals that Tang Feng placed in the star core. So a monster company in the global mining industry is already emerging.

And the follow-up Mars plan is even more of a gold-swallowing monster, the construction of a Mars spacecraft alone has a budget of up to 100 billion US dollars, even if Sam and Chris can come up with some funds, but the main source of funds has to rely on Tang Feng to solve.

Therefore, take advantage of the free period of these years. Tang Feng needs to try his best to greatly improve his strength, and Tang Feng is even thinking that when the time comes, a shareholders' meeting will be held at Newmont Mining to ask those shareholders if they are willing to merge into Tang's Mining. If those shareholders are willing, the integration of Tang Mining, Anglo American and Newmont Mining will be an important economic basis for Tang's Mars exploration program.

As long as these three companies can be fully integrated, and at the same time some "non-performing" assets can be divested, such as the platinum mines, diamond mines, and copper mines under the name of Anglo American Group, which have been hollowed out by Tang, then Tang's Mining will leave the most profitable part of the assets. Now the diamond mines, platinum mines, and copper mines are all very high-quality assets on the surface, and even if they were sold, they could be sold for a good price. Presumably, both Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are probably very happy to take over these "very high-quality" mines of Anglo American

So, in any way, the annexation of Anglo American is a very good choice!

Hearing Tang Feng say this, Chris and Andrew's faces showed excited expressions, like this kind of financial war that can easily cost tens of billions of dollars, even Chris and they rarely see it. Although the battle to annex Anglo American cannot be compared with the current sales of the two major groups in Europe and the United States in the international gold market, whether in terms of scale or amount of funds, if it is purely from the stock market, the annexation of Anglo American by Tang's Mining will definitely become a bombshell in the global stock market this year.

"Don, don't worry, Andrew and I will provide you with enough funds, this kind of thing, our family can't ask for it." Chris smiled and made his promises and assurances. (To be continued.) )
