In Sigman's capacity, making such a commitment is almost equivalent to issuing an absolute pass to Tang's prospecting operations in Argentina.

Perhaps Sigman did not have much influence on the previous president, Ms. Christina. Fernandez. Kirchner was president of Argentina for eight years, and her husband, Néstor. Carlos. Mr. Kirchner served as President of Argentina for four years before she became president. The couple alone have dominated Argentine politics for 12 years.

But the current new President Macri is different, not to mention that President Macri, who has just come to power, has to face all kinds of things at home and abroad, and there is no time to separate himself to rectify the Argentine mining industry that has been on the right track.

Sigman and Macri are very good personal friends, and in this presidential election, Sigman is an important supporter of Macri, and now Macri has successfully defeated Cristina and is elected as the new president of Argentina, so he naturally has to take more care of Sigman, the big financier.

However, Tang Feng, who originally wanted to "find" a super oil and gas field from the southeast coast of Argentina while the iron was hot, was interrupted by a phone call from Sam, which was not too good news, but it was more important, so Tang Feng had to hand over the mining of the St. Lawrence copper mine to Christian, who had just arrived from China, and flew back to the United States with Sophia.

"Dude, what the hell is going on?" At the first glance of Sam and Gorman, Tang Feng asked a little anxiously.

Tang Feng is not in a hurry, it is really at an important juncture when the Gravina Gold Mine is preparing to be mined, and at this time, such a situation suddenly appeared, and it would be strange if Newmont Mining was not in a hurry.

"Wind. Don't worry, this kind of thing can't be in a hurry, Gorman knows the specific situation best, let him tell you about it. Sam said as he doubled the freshly brewed coffee and placed it in front of Tang Feng.

It's been less than two months. Gorman's haggard appearance also startled Tang Feng.

Gorman, who used to be absolutely handsome and neat, now has a scruffy beard, deep sunken eye sockets, and unkempt hair, which at first glance looks more like a sharp brother.

Gorman smiled wryly and said, "Just a month and a half ago, a friend of mine, who was an executive at Polar Gold, called me and asked me if I had offended someone, because as far as he knew. In recent times, it seems that several major gold producers are going to join forces to make a big move, and the target seems to be looming at Newmont Mining. At that time, I was confused, where is there anyone who does our business that should not offend people? And it seemed unrealistic to unite these large gold producers, so I didn't take my friend's warning to heart. ”

But after less than half a month, I suddenly noticed a series of unusual things. First of all, Newmont Mining's gold and copper mines in Australia, Ghana, Indonesia, New Zealand and Peru have all experienced hydropower crises of varying degrees, in addition to the local gold mines. Almost all of those mines abroad have encountered this situation during this period of time. If you encounter a hydropower crisis in a mine in a certain country, you can still say that it is in the past, but at the same time, it is clear that someone is behind it. ”

Tang Feng nodded, and Newmont Mining's main business is gold and copper mines, but whether it is gold or copper ore beneficiation and refining, it is inseparable from the support of hydropower. If there is a problem with the supply of hydropower, it will have a direct impact on the production of gold and copper mines.

Gorman continued: "First there was the issue of hydropower, and then there was a crackdown on our Newmont Mining gold sales channels, including Barrick Gold in Canada, Anglo Asanti in South Africa, Canadian Gold, Goldross Gold in Canada, Newcrest Mining in Australia, Goldfields and Four Leaf Gold and Harmony Gold in South Africa. Damn it. That's eight of the top 10 gold companies in the world coming together to stop Newmont Mining."

Hearing Gorman say this, Tang Feng's brows also frowned, these companies in Gorman's mouth are all well-known companies in the international gold industry, Barrick Gold needless to say, it is the world's largest gold producer, as for Angloasanti, it is also the world's third largest gold producer, second only to the existence of Newmont Mining, and the other companies mentioned by Gorman are also top ten gold producers, so to speak, among the top ten gold producers in the world, With the exception of Newmont Mining, which is an American company, Polar Gold is owned by Russia, and the other eight gold producers are all Commonwealth countries.

But in the past, these gold producers were fighting each other to the death, how could they unite to attack Newmont Mining in a short period of time?

You must know that Newmont Mining is the second largest gold producer in the world, and this is an American company, even if those gold producers join forces to deal with other gold producers, it should be Russia's Polar Gold instead of Newmont Mining that will be the first to attack.

But that's all that weird, as Gorman's next words prove it all the more.

"Tang, these eight gold companies have joined forces not only to target Newmont Mining's mines outside the United States, not only to block our Newmont gold sales channels, but also to unite in the stock market to suppress Newmont's stock price and take the opportunity to absorb our Newmont Mining's outstanding shares."

Compared with the first two means of interdiction, this third means is undoubtedly the most deadly. As the largest gold producer in the United States, Newmont Mining was listed on the world's major stock markets early, and now the eight major gold producers have joined forces to short Newmont Mining's shares and take the opportunity to absorb its outstanding shares in the stock market, which is clearly to carve up the rhythm of Newmont Mining!

There must be some reason for this, otherwise the eight gold producers would not have joined forces in this way.

"Gorman, do you know anything about this?" Tang Feng thought for a long time and didn't figure out the Tao inside, so he asked Gorman.

Gorman hesitated, looked at Sam, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I once called a friend of Barrick Gold to inquire about this, and that friend of mine told me very clearly that we at Newmont Mining should not take over the mining of Gravina Gold, because it is helping a gold producer with a high probability of growing into a world-class gold company growing." Now that the world's gold industry is very stable, there is no need for a world-class gold producer in the world! (To be continued......)
