Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Chris, do you think I have any other choice now?" I'm not stupid, and I certainly know which side I'm going to be on in this economic war, so you don't have to worry about that. What I want to know now is the plan of the leaders of your major families, because only by knowing what you want to do, can I decide what method I should use to cooperate with you, or rather, what kind of actions I should use to get your major families to cooperate with me! ”

When Chris heard Tang Feng say this, he laughed and said, "Don, you are really a smart person." That's right, those old guys in the family just want you and Gorman to act, and then they will deploy all kinds of resources and funds to cooperate with you. You know, like our Morgan family, Benjamin's Rockefeller family, and Andrew's Mellon family, they can't make a move easily, because once these behemoths do it, it's very likely that it will already be at the point where things are irreparable, and that is when it's time for a life-and-death showdown. Obviously, it's not the last minute yet, so for now, they're not in the right place. ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "I understand this, that's why I'm in front of Gorman." Damn, in fact, Gorman and I are now the guns in the hands of you old families! ”

Chris smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands to show his acquiescence to Tang's statement.

Tang Feng thought for a while and said: "Okay, Chris, I have a plan here, I think that once this plan can be successfully implemented, it can not only solve the current embarrassing situation faced by Gorman, but also give the opposite side a hard blow, maybe it will also send the guys on the opposite side back to Europe!" ”

Hearing Tang Feng say this, Chris and Gorman came up with great interest, and Gorman said anxiously: "Don." We are now grasshoppers on a rope, if you have any good plans, just say it, as long as it works, I will cooperate with you unconditionally! ”

Although Chris did not speak, the expression on his face was clearly very much in agreement with Gorman's words. This time, the European consortium came to attack, and people not only prepared for this operation for a long time. And it also occupies the lead, so even those big families and big conglomerates in the United States are very troublesome. The main leaders of several families got together and discussed for a long time, but they did not find any good solution, so they could only adopt passive and passive defensive means and see the move. If Tang Feng can really find a good way to fight back here, he may be able to turn the current unfavorable situation in one fell swoop.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "This plan of mine is very risky, I just don't know if Gorman can make up your mind to follow me!" ”

Gorman shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a death left and right, is there any difference between dying early and dying late?" Tang Dynasty. Tell us about your plans! ”

Tang Feng said: "Gorman, Chris, I want to ask the two of you a question first, how much can you two control Newmont Mining?" Is it possible to completely guarantee that Newmont Mining will not be acquired by others as hostile? ”

"Gorman's Thompson family currently owns 22 percent of Newmont Mining, making it the largest shareholder in Newmont Mining," Chris said. However, dozens of funds under the Morgan family control a total of 38% of Newmont Mining's shares, that is, the Morgan family and the Thompson family control a total of 60% of Newmont Mining's controlling stake. So. Don, I can assure you. Even if Newmont Mining suffers a hostile takeover, the company will never be taken over. ”

Tang Feng nodded and said: "Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, then the first step in my plan is to announce to the outside world that all the gold, silver and copper mines under Newmont Mining's name except for the United States will be closed immediately from now on." Of course. The reason for the announcement of the closure of the mine is that the international gold and copper prices have plummeted, which has caused Newmont Mining to take the decision to reduce production and even close the mine! ”

"No, Don, if you do this, the whole Newmont Mining will collapse!" Gorman exclaimed.

Chris glanced at Tang Feng thoughtfully. But he didn't speak, but continued to wait for Tang Feng to give an explanation.

"Crash? Why did you Newmont Mining collapse? We only announced the temporary closure of the mine, not to announce large-scale layoffs, you Newmont Mining is only because of the international gold price and copper prices to suspend the mining business, the company's employees we do not layoff, but also to announce that at the same time of suspending the mining business, Newmont Mining will shift the focus of work to the exploration of mineral deposits, that is, we Newmont Mining will strive to find a few more gold mines in the next one to two years, in preparation for the recovery of international gold prices in the future! ”

"No layoffs? Closing a mine? We at Newmont Mining don't have that much money to feed these guys! ”

"Chris, go back and discuss with the leaders of your Morgan family, sell me the 38% stake you control for the time being, and I can replace it with the shares of Tang Mining. I have $9 billion in cash at my disposal right now, and of course, if we get through this crisis, we can swap it back. We can sign an agreement beforehand. ”

Chris's eyes lit up, $9 billion in cash is no joke, if there is this $9 billion in cash, then Newmont Mining will definitely get through this difficult time.

"Chris, the price you sold me is lower than it is now, because I am only going to buy your shares with four billion dollars, and the remaining five billion dollars, I will directly invest in Newmont Mining, of course, these five billion dollars are also counted as shares, Gorman, I think you also have some friends on the board of directors, tell them that I will only buy these shares for the time being, and they can buy them back at the original price. I'm going to take ownership of Newmont Mining! ”

Gorman's face changed dramatically, but Chris's face was beaming.

Seeing that Tang Feng didn't want to explain to Gorman, Chris pulled Gorman and began to say to Gorman: "Gorman, Don's plan is very good!" What do shareholders want? It's confidence, but what confidence can Newmont Mining let shareholders see now? If you want to save Newmont, you have to build confidence among shareholders. Now Newmont Mining has really made shareholders see no future, but if Tang becomes the owner of Newmont Mining, then the situation will be different, because Tang can not only bring enough cash flow to Newmont Mining, but also have a Gravina gold mine, if you are a shareholder, what would you think of Tang becoming the owner of Newmont Mining?
