Chapter 926: Another Copper Mine Finalized
Looking at Chen Geng in front of him, Karima's eyes flickered a little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he received Chen Geng's call, he guessed Chen Geng's purpose: nine times out of ten, it was for one of the three major copper mines of Kansasi, Kangkra and Enchaga, and when he guessed what Chen Geng was going to do, he was a little curious: how much bargaining chips was Chen Geng willing to pay to let himself speak for him?
"Mr. Karima, I'll say some things directly," after a few simple greetings, Chen Geng didn't go around the bush, and said directly to Karima: "You should already know that under the premise of Zambia's decision to expand foreign cooperation and privatization, Runhua Industrial intends to increase the intensity and depth of cooperation with Zambia. ”
"Yes, I know." Karima pretended to drink a cup of coffee calmly, waiting for Chen Geng to continue.
"I am interested in the three copper mines of Kansasi, Kangla and Nchaga, and hope to be able to cooperate with the Zambian government to develop one of these three copper mines, unlike the barbaric plundering of Western countries, we really hope to be able to cooperate with Zambia in the process of mutual benefit and win-win results, so our cooperation method is completely different from the cooperation method of Western mining companies," although Chen Geng believed that Karima already knew the conditions on his side, Chen Geng still told him again: "Runhua Industry is willing to spend 300 million US dollars, We will upgrade the production facilities of the copper mines we work with, increase the existing production capacity by another 40%, and introduce advanced management methods, so that after doing so much, we only need 60% of the shares. ”
“60%? Too much, right? Karima smacked her lips and said.
After paying so much price, Runhua Industrial wants 60% of the shares, is it too much? Actually, it's not much, Karima has an account in his own heart, but then again, since Karima is a minister in Zambia, he has to work for Zambia - and for himself.
"The issue of shares, let's talk about it again, the important thing is that we are all interested in this cooperation," Chen Geng lightly pushed aside the issue of shares, looked at Karima and said in a deep voice: "What I want to say is, Mr. Minister, as a minister of a country, your life is too poor now, if I remember correctly, your income seems to be less than 5,000 US dollars a year?" ”
"Ah...... Oh...... This ......"
Karima squeaked, I don't know how to answer, not to mention less than $5,000, if it is according to the official salary level, Karima's annual salary is less than $1,000, even if you count all kinds of bright and dark income, add up to less than $2,000, $5,000? It's too much of a lift-up for him.
Chen Geng smiled slightly, and did not continue to dwell on this issue, after all, this is not such a glorious thing: "That's the case, we have been working together for so long, Mr. Karima, you have always been very supportive of our Runhua Industry, and we have always been grateful for this...... Having said that, what I want to say is that if we can take one of these three copper mines, we will need a lot of mine trucks. ”
"Of course." Karima nodded subconsciously.
Special mine transport vehicles, of course Karima knows, they are all big people, a tire is more than 2 meters high, small mining vehicles have a load of fifty or sixty tons, and the load of large mining vehicles is even more than 200 tons, they are all behemoths, he just doesn't understand, what did Chen Geng suddenly mention this thing for?
"If someone in your family is interested in doing a transportation business, you can come to my fleet and rent a car," Chen Geng said lightly: "I don't dare to say more, at least making tens of thousands of dollars a year is not too much of a problem." And it's all legitimate business, and there are no worries at all......"
Tens of thousands of dollars a year?!
What Chen Geng said next, Karima couldn't hear it at all, and his breathing suddenly became short: Chen Geng is willing to "rent" himself a mining car, and then promise to earn tens of thousands of dollars a year?!
Mining vehicles are very expensive, even if it is a small mining truck with a load of fifty or sixty tons, it is said to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, such expensive production equipment is simply not something he can buy, but if Chen Geng is really willing to "rent" one for himself, and allow his mining truck to engage in ore transportation business on this mine......
My God!
"What you said is true?" Karima hissed.
"Of course it's true," Chen Geng nodded without hesitation: "We will sign a formal lease contract, which has serious legal benefits," After a pause, Chen Geng seemed to say to himself: "I'm thinking about whether to rent out 2 percent of the newly purchased fleet." ”
2 into? Karima hesitated for a moment, and finally cautiously asked Chen Geng, "Chen, let me ask, how much is 2 percent?" ”
"About 20 of them."
"......" Karima sat on the ground with a shocked face!
He understood that Chen Geng was planning to use these 20 mining vehicles to capture the top of the Zambian government, even if he did not agree, there must be more people than himself who would be moved: Runhua Industrial took out some of the mining vehicles for lease out of the needs of business adjustment, and no one could say anything wrong with this, as for these tenants happened to be relatives of the ministers, it was just a coincidence......
"I ...... I ......"
As a minister of a country, Karima has seen a big scene, but at this time, his head is sweating like rain, but the temptation of at least tens of thousands of dollars of legal income a year is too great, with these tens of thousands of dollars of legal income, not only can his family have a good life, but also let his children go to Europe and the United States to enjoy the best education, or go to China is also very good, in short, no matter what, it is better than staying in Zambia......
"If Mr. President had brought it up, I would have agreed." After hesitating for a long time, Karima finally showed her attitude.
"Thank you so much," Chen Geng happily held Karima's hand and shook it vigorously a few times, as if he suddenly remembered something, he patted his head: "I almost forgot a big thing...... So, Mr. Karima, if Mr. Kaunda succeeds in being elected president of the next government, I have decided to donate my Lear-35 to the Zambian government as a special plane for the President of Zambia -- as the president of a major country with great influence in Africa, Mr. Kaunda does not have a presidential plane that represents the face and image of Zambia. ”
Chen Geng decided to give his Learjet-35 jet to Kaunda? Karima's head was dizzy, and the whole person almost fell to the ground, and there was only one thought in his head: play Dafa, play Dafa......
Strictly speaking, Kaunda actually has his own special plane, a Y-5 that he gave to him when he visited China in the 70s, but compared with the large private jets converted by presidents of various countries with civil airliners, this plane modified on the basis of the Y-5 is really not very compatible with the temperament of a country's president, not to mention that this plane is now almost 20 years old, so as early as the early 80s, in addition to domestic use, as long as it is abroad, Kaunda is basically flying with foreign airlines.
But again, he is also the president of a country, and it is true that there is no private jet, but before, Kaunda's biggest thought was just a small propeller-powered regional jet like the Beechcraft 1900D, and as for the Liljet-35, which is considered a mid-range jet among private jets, he didn't even dare to think about it! But now, Chen Geng actually plans to send this plane to the Zambian government?
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious," looking at Karima's expression, Chen Geng knew what this guy was thinking, nodded, and signaled Karima that you didn't misunderstand: "Of course, this flight is for Mr. Kaunda, if Ziluba is elected president, I didn't say it." ”
Karima's eyes are red!
As long as Mr. Kaunda is elected, Chen Geng will give this Lear-35 plane to Zambia, and as Zambia's minister, it means that he also has the opportunity to use and fly this plane -- he has flown this jet plane with Chen Geng, and he has a full understanding of the luxury and comfort of this plane.
Thinking of this, Karima couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and hurriedly walked out: "I, I will try my best to persuade Mr. President to cooperate with you......"
Looking at Karima's hurried figure, Chen Geng was a little puzzled: It's just a plane, is it so excited?
It was Lin Shuyao, who looked at Karima who was hurrying away, her eyes were a little complicated: "Head, do you really plan to send that plane to the Zambian government?" ”
"Well," Chen Geng responded: "Comrade Lao Jin's business has become bigger, and he doesn't like that Learjet-35 anymore, and he plans to dispose of it and replace it with a new one...... Find an opportunity to ask Home Minister Mutati out for a meeting. ”
"Okay."
……………………
For Chen Geng's public relations ministers, Kaunda did not feel strange, in Kaunda's view, Chen Geng is indeed a good partner, if he can cooperate with Chen Geng, it is also a good choice for Zambia, but as the head of state, he always has to think more about this country, Chen Geng's request is 6:4 shareholding ratio, Kaunda is a little unacceptable, he thinks it would be good if it is 4:6 or 5:5, but he didn't expect that Chen Geng's strength on his ministers is so great, Looking at the ministers in front of him who were urging him to finalize the cooperation with Chen Geng as soon as possible, Kaunda couldn't help frowning......
"What benefits did Chen Geng give you? You actually helped him talk like that. Looking at the subordinates in front of him, Kaunda was really a little incomprehensible.
“……”
What do you make us say? A few ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer: Could it be that Chen Geng directly said that as long as you agree to cooperate with him, he will rent the mine car to us and guarantee that we will earn at least tens of thousands of dollars a year?
That's not a good thing to say.
Or Karima, although he felt very awkward, he still coughed lightly, and was the first to speak: "That's the case, we just feel that when the government forms a cabinet, we must put the development of the economy and stimulate the people's livelihood in the first place, this is also our commitment to the people, the development of the economy and the development of the people's livelihood must have money, for us in Zambia, there is nothing more important than raising development funds as soon as possible, and the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are absolutely impossible to provide us with development funds, The only way to do this is to make a fuss about the copper mines......"
Kaunda's face turned red, why did the World Bank and the IMF refuse to lend money to Zambia? This one...... Well, it's not unrelated to yourself.
As soon as Karima's voice fell, several other ministers immediately nodded their heads and expressed their support for Karima:
"Yes, yes, we have to keep our promises to the people, or the people will abandon us in the next government."
"Copper mines are the backbone of our economy, and when we can't borrow money from outside, we have to start a copper mine......
"Chen is our friend, he has always been very supportive of us, and the conditions he offered are still very sincere, at least more sincere than those vampire-like Western mining groups......
"Chinese is our best friend in Zambia and has always been a ......"
…………
Looking at his ministers who were helping Chen Geng speak, Kaunda felt that his head was going to be big!
What shocked him even more was when did Chen Geng become so familiar with these subordinates of his own? When exactly did he do this?
But no matter when he did it, one thing Kaunda knew was if he could be elected. Cooperation with Runhua Industrial has become the consensus of the cabinet members of the current government, and it is also where everyone's interests lie. Even if he is the president, it is impossible to go against everyone's wishes, let alone if he wants to become the president, Chen Geng's support is indispensable in the future.
That's it!
Anyway, they are all going to cooperate with him, so what else is there to say? Taking a deep breath, Kaon reached: "What everyone said makes sense, well, I'll think about it carefully......"
With Kaunda's promise, Karima and Mutati glanced at each other, both with some excitement in their eyes. Karima stepped forward: "Sir, Chen also mentioned something to me, which is related to Zambia's image and face in the international ......"
――――――――――――――――
Not to mention how much Chen Geng's promise shocked the ministers on Kaunda's side, just talking about Ziluba, looking at the growing approval rating, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: it seems that he is not without a chance.
"Oh no, no!"
At this time, the director of the campaign office rushed in with a panicked face: "Sir, it's not good......
