"Wind, do you know Newmont Mining?" Sam asked.

"Of course, this is the second largest gold producer in the world after Barrick Gold."

"Do you know who's behind Newmont?"

Tang Feng thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Could it be the Morgan family?" ”

Sam nodded and said, "Many people may think that this mining company, founded in 1921, has nothing to do with the Morgan family, but in fact, the relationship between this company and the Morgan family is far deeper than outsiders know. As far as I know, when Newmont was founded, it was heavily funded by the Morgan family, and later in 1925, when Newmont Mining was listed in New York, Australia and Toronto, the main driving force behind it was also the Morgan family. Otherwise, how could he be listed on three major mining countries at the same time with a small mining company that has just been established for four years? More than 10 years after going public, Newmont owned 12 gold mines in the United States at once, and in 1940, it merged with South Africa's Ukip Copper Company to become the world's third largest copper company in one fell swoop. ”

These words made Tang Feng's back feel a chill. Tang Feng has long heard of the eight major consortia in the United States, and knows that these eight consortia are the foundation of the U.S. economy, especially the old families like Rockefeller, Morgan, and Mellon, whose heritage is even more unfathomable. Although these old families suffered a heavy blow in the antitrust movement, these old families quickly adjusted their business ideas, broke up the whole family, and held shares with each other, forming an economic net covering all walks of life in the United States, firmly tying the entire American country to their chariot.

Although Tang Feng knows these things. But Tang Feng didn't know the specific things, after all, the companies that the eight major consortia deliberately exposed outside were enough to attract people's attention, but Tang Feng never expected that under those high-profile large groups, these old eight consortia still had deeper and stronger strength.

For example, this Newmont gold turned out to be from the Morgan family, which Tang Feng never expected.

Actually, it's no wonder. After all, the old eight major consortia relied on the mining, finance, banking, transportation, steel, and arms industries to make their fortunes, so these old consortia are naturally indispensable in these industries in the United States. And how could Newmont, as the world's second largest and the largest gold company in the United States, not be controlled by these old families?

Thinking of this, Tang Feng realized how big the gap between himself and these old consortia was, maybe as time went by, he with the star core could leave these old families far behind, but now, in the eyes of these behemoths. I'm afraid I'm really no different from a dish.

However, this also made Tang more determined to introduce partners. In the United States, it is not the president of the United States who really controls the country, but the invisible rich, the big people in those big families, so if you can use these easily obtained mineral deposits to build a good relationship with these big people, then it will definitely be of great benefit to your future development.

Thinking of this, Tang Feng said, "Man." So what are you going to do? ”

Sam said, "When dealing with these old families, you have to think of a perfect plan. Otherwise, if there is any omission, our end will either be swallowed by these old families with belt meat, or we will be kicked out of the game by these old families. Working with these people is definitely a double-edged sword, and if we play well, it will be of great benefit to our own growth. But if we play it wrong, then what awaits us will be an unfathomable abyss. So, in my opinion, if we want to bring in the Morgan family, we have to do the same as the last time we brought in the Rockefeller family. Only after we have taken full control can we start bringing in the Morgan family. ”

Sam thought for a moment and continued: "For example, if we want to cooperate with the Morgan family, then we must get the ownership of this mine, including the ownership of the land, first, and we can't leave them a little gap. Therefore, it is up to us to fight for ownership of the western half of the island, and only after we have obtained full ownership of that land can we extend an invitation to the Morgan family or even the Mellon family. ”

Tang Feng smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about it, in the end, we have to rely on our own strength to get this land, but the problem now is that our strength is obviously insufficient, do you have any other good way?"

Sam's phone interrupted Tang Feng's words again, Sam picked it up, and talked for a long time, then put down the phone and said with a smile: "We don't necessarily can't take this land with our own strength." My father made the phone call and said that if we were willing to spend a little more money and invest in local infrastructure, it would not be a problem to take the western half of Gravina Island. ”

Tang Feng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "My sister's daughter is poor now, and there is only money left, as long as it is something that can be solved with money, there is no problem." Sam, what did your father just say? ”

"My father just said that Tangas National Forest is not moving, but it does not mean that Tangas National Forest Farm is not moving. My father called a few friends in Alaska to ask that the ownership of the Tangas National Forest is now in the hands of the federal government, but that the Tangas Forest Farm is now partially owned by the Alaska State Government and the Ketchikan City Government. The 50,000 acres of forest on Gravina Island are jointly owned by the Alaska State Government and the Ketchikan City Government. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"It's very simple, throw money and smash it! The price of the forest farm here is difficult to say, mainly because no American citizen has bought such a remote forest farm as private land before, but presumably the price should not be very high. The western part of Gravina Island covers an area of about 100 square kilometers, right? That's about 25,000 acres of land, which would cost about $150 million to buy at farm prices in the middle of nowhere. ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "This money is nothing, let's invest it!" ”

Sam nodded and said, "In addition to this, we had better add some gimmicks, so as to impress the Alaska government and the Ketchikan city government, as long as we promise to engage in this investment, we have more than eighty percent chance of taking that land!" (To be continued......)
