"Hey, John, thank you for flying all the way from England to preside over this work." As soon as he got off the plane, Tang Feng saw the white man standing on the edge of the airport runway, and smiled and gave the man a big hug.

"Tyrant, it is my duty to obey your orders. And it's not that far from London to Chile. I've been working here a lot, so flying this distance is not a big deal for me. John said with a smile.

The white man was a former Anglo American executive named John Brown. Mackenzie, the CEO of Anglo American Copper, previously controlled all the copper and gold mines of Anglo American by this white man in his forties, and the Anglo American Copper Mine he controlled was the most profitable subsidiary of the entire Anglo American Group.

This John. Mackenzie is not British, but a native Canadian, who joined Anglo American after graduating from university, where he held a number of positions within the group and in its subsidiaries before being promoted to CEO of Anglo American Copper five years ago.

After Tang Feng took over Anglo American, he carried out some purge of the former executives within the group, in order to remove the influence of the previous major shareholders in the company. However, Tang Feng, the former executive of Anglo American Group, has not been completely cleansed, and those old stubborns will naturally be kicked home, but some young and promising executives who are still self-motivated, Tang Feng has stayed. These professional managers are not the same as those major shareholders, and the position they stand on determines that they are unlikely to have any influence on Tang Feng.

This John. Mackenzie is an executive that Tang is very optimistic about.

Although this guy was the former CEO of Anglo American Copper, he was not a faction, he was just a dedicated professional manager, and during his five years as CEO of British American Copper, he was hardly involved in the power struggle within the group. Instead, they put all their energy on Anglo American Copper, making Anglo American Copper the fastest growing of all subsidiaries of Anglo American.

Such a capable management talent who doesn't like to compete for power and profit, Tang Feng has no choice but to use it. Some time ago, Tang Feng was in the villa in Gravina, and he once met with John Brown. Mackenzie, including several remaining former Anglo American executives, including Tang and John. Mackenzie talked the most speculatively.

This time Tang came to Chile. One is to build the copper mine on Arica's side, and the other is to find a way to see if we can sell the remaining world-class copper mines of Anglo American at a good price.

Despite plans to empty the five former Anglo American copper-gold mines in Chile, Tang doesn't mind pitting Australian or Canadian miners in this regard.

You must know that the five world-class copper mines of Anglo American have been coveted by many mining companies for a long time. Baird Copper Mine or Mantos. The Blancos copper mine, or the Koyawassi copper mine, the third largest copper mine in the world, was only mined after 1995, especially the Koyahuasi copper mine, which was mined in 1998 and has very large reserves. Australia's Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, as well as Canada's First Quantum, are all interested in these three copper mines.

As for the El Soldado copper mine and the Los Blonces copper mine, Tang Feng really doesn't want it, the former is a copper mine that has been mined since 1942; As for the latter, it has been mined since 1925, and the mine is seriously aging and the ore grade has been reduced a lot, especially since the cost of mining this copper mine is too high. Tang Feng didn't want to own copper mines with high mining costs, so he didn't feel sorry to sell these two mines to Tang Feng.

Of course. Before Tang Feng wants to sell these five mines, he must first move these five mines before he can sell them, anyway, those who are interested in these five mines are Australian or Canadian mining companies, and Tang Feng will not have the slightest guilt about selling them an empty shell mine.

Tang Feng might not have done this before the economic war between Europe and the United States, but the two sides had already fought once in the mining industry. BHP Billiton has long had a grudge with Tang Feng, so Tang Feng has no psychological burden on them at all.

If you want a good mine, you must be mentally prepared to take risks. Do you really think that the world's high-quality mines are so easy to get? Not to mention that you still want to take the mine from my Tang Feng, so you must be prepared to be pitted.

"Tyrants. Are you really planning to sell all five mines, including the Koyawasi copper mine? "John. Mackenzie appears to be reluctant to give up the five copper mines. And it's no wonder he had such thoughts, John. Mackenzie relied on these five copper mines to become the most important of the executives of Anglo American, and he has been staying in these mines for at least half a year every year, and he has feelings, and now at first glance, when he heard that Tang Feng was going to sell these mines, this executive with rich experience in copper mining was of course a little reluctant.

"Oh, John, there is an old saying in my home country that is very good, and that is 'the old does not go, the new does not come'. John, you should trust me. Although I want to sell those five copper mines, it does not mean that I will terminate the copper mining business in Chile, on the contrary, I will integrate all our copper resources in Chile and continue to reduce our operating costs, so that we can make more profits. ”

John. Mackenzie smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just think that we might as well focus on those three copper mines that have little mining life if we are looking for copper mines in such a wasteland that seems to have little prospects." ”

"Haha, John, you obviously don't believe in my boss's ability! Forget it, John, I guess you haven't seen my prospecting ability yet, wait a few days, and you'll know how high your boss's ability in prospecting is! But you have to remember that don't be scared by the mine reserves I have found! ”

"Hehe, how come? The super copper mine you discovered in Argentina has proven what you can do. "John. Mackenzie smirked.

Tang Feng patted John. Mackenzie's shoulder smiled, "It's good that you know." Rest assured, I have a very special feeling about this land, and I am sure that I will surprise the world again on this land. As for you, John, I hope you will be able to organize your preparations for mining during this period, because you are about to face the mining of a copper mine even larger than the St. Lawrence Copper Mine!
