Chapter 135 Two Schemes
Bow and thank "mfive" for the big 588 tip, and "Easy with the Wind" big 100 for the tip!
Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said with a smile: "Mr. Stanton, you said that, that really made me a little confused. Honestly, this place is pretty good, but I don't think you, Mr. Stanton, would be interested in the scenery, right? ”
Bob. Stanton smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, how can you be so sure that I'm not interested here?" Okay, let's not go around and around, I came here for only one purpose, and that is to talk to Mr. Tang about the cooperation of this precious metal mine under your name. ”
Tang Feng's heart sank, although he was interested in this Bob. Stanton doesn't understand, but judging from the contact just now, this guy is definitely not an easy guy to deal with, otherwise the boss and Sam would not be so jealous of this guy, and then think of the nickname "man-eating crocodile" that this guy revealed just now, you can imagine what kind of person this is. This is the real crocodile all along!
And now, after saying two words, this guy has already shown his fangs, and it seems that this guy has really taken a look at this precious metal mine, which is not good news.
Tang Feng's brows furrowed, and he said, "Mr. Stanton, I still don't understand what you mean, do you mean that you and Billiton want to develop this precious metal mine with our Tang Mining Company?" But I'm sorry, Mr. Stanton, we at Down Mining Company have no intention of cooperating with other mining companies to develop this precious metal mine, and we at Tang Mining Company are not short of money right now, and we are fully capable of developing this precious metal mine on our own. We can't share the profits that belong to us with others. So, Mr. Stanton, I can only say sorry to you. ”
It seems that Tang Feng would say this for a long time, Bob. Stanton was not annoyed, but said calmly: "Mr. Tang, don't be in a hurry to refuse me first, you can listen to my conditions first." ”
Tang Feng nodded and did not speak.
Bob. Stanton said: "We BHP Billiton and Mr. Tang you have two options, the first is that we BHP Billiton will invest $500 million to develop this metal mine with your Tang Mining Company, we have a 51% controlling stake, but we BHP Billiton can provide this mine with the most advanced mining machinery and mineral processing equipment and refining equipment, and we BHP Billiton can provide a variety of talents for this mine, including miners." These are people with a lot of experience and can get the mine up and running in a very short period of time. ”
Bob. Stanton paused slightly, looked at Tang Feng, who had no expression on his face, and continued: "As for the second cooperation plan, that is, we will invest 1.2 billion Australian dollars to acquire this mine as a wholly owned company. Mr. Tang, these are the two cooperation plans I proposed, I don't know what Mr. Tang thinks? ”
Steve. The ones that Patos provided had all the facts about the Down's Mining Company and the precious metals mine, and that Bob Brown. Stanton's thinking has changed somewhat. At first, Bob. Stanton was trying to eat the Down's Mining Company in one bite, but from Steve. According to the information provided by Patos, although the Tang mining company is registered in Australia, it is only a private company, not listed, without financing or borrowing, and there are only two shareholders, one is the young man in front of him, and the other is the American barrister Nick. Mendez's son.
This situation makes Bob. Stanton had a bit of a dog-bite feeling that he couldn't get his mouth down. Tang's Mining Company is a completely formal Australian mining company, there is no violation of rules and disciplines, and it cannot buy other people's shares from the stock market, let alone find the loopholes of Tang's Mining from banks or private equity funds, so even if BHP Billiton is 10,000 times larger than Tang's Mining, there is no way to take this small one.
Although BHP Billiton ranks among the top in the world in many minerals such as iron ore, coking coal, manganese, petroleum, copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, diamond, zircon, titanium, etc., it has obvious shortcomings in the precious metals. Stanton understands the difficulties BHP Billiton is facing.
The Cannington silver mine has been developed for almost 20 years, and the 23,000-ton silver reserves seem to be out of the way for a few years to be mined, and as for the gold and silver mines found at the Olympic Dam, although the proven reserves are also world-class, it is a typical gold-silver-copper-uranium complex mine, and if you want to mine the precious metals and copper in it, you must face the effects of high radiation.
Gold and silver ore like this associated with uranium ore is the most difficult to mine, and the mining cost is extremely high, with the current international gold and silver prices, the composite mine can only look at dryly, it can't be mined at all, and once it is mined, it will lose money, and how much will be lost when it is mined!
Therefore, the precious metal ore has become the biggest shortcoming of BHP. But the precious metal ore in the world is not so easy to find, and Australia has basically searched all the places it can find, but it is only this new composite mine discovered in the Olympic Dam eight years ago, and it is a mine that cannot be mined for the time being. How can this not make Bob. Stanton in a hurry?
So when he learned that the precious metal complex had been discovered in Kajabi, Bob Brown. Stanton did not hesitate to surrender his identity and personally came to negotiate with Tang Feng. Take Bob. Stanton's status in the circle, his visit to Kajabi this time can indeed be called a self-surrendering status.
However, Bob. Stanton did not have any hope for this negotiation, after all, it was BHP Billiton who was anxious now, not Tang's Mining, which had the initiative in its own right.
Sure enough, when Tang Feng heard Bob. After Stanton said these two conditions, the look on his face immediately became very exciting, and then Tang Feng looked at Bob with this expression. Stanton watched for half a minute, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Stanton, it doesn't seem like it's April Fool's Day, and I feel like you're losing your identity by making such a joke." ”
After a pause, he looked at Bob. Stanton's face didn't change at all, and Tang Feng said, "Presumably, Mr. Stanton, you already know about the situation of my mine, right?" I can tell you again here that the preliminary proven reserves of my mine are 4,000 tons of silver, 200 tons of gold, and 70 tons of platinum group metals, and the value of these three precious metals alone is more than 12 billion dollars! Moreover, this mine is a typical low-radiation open-pit mine, and the mining cost and the cost of roughing and refining will not exceed two-thirds of the value of this mine. In other words, I can make at least a net profit of more than four billion dollars by mining this mine! And you, honorable Mr. Stanton, are you not joking? After speaking, Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
