Tang Bao smiled and shook his head slightly. When www.biquge.info decided to buy Pat Mining, he had his eye on five mining licenses early. They were one of the main factors that attracted Tang Bao to venture into the acquisition of Pat Mining. If he doesn't get five mining licenses, his willingness to buy will drop dramatically.

Well.

Regardless of whether the mining license in the application violates the rules or not, Tang Bao does not want to argue, anyway, it is affiliated with the name of Pat Mining Company.

"Mining licenses are mainly approved by the Mineral Production Bureau under the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and the state government has no right to intervene. The state government can only issue state environmental permits, business permits, and ...... related to mining rights," Piziani said with a slight frown.

But.

After getting such an answer, where would Tang Bao buy it. At the same time, I also felt very unhappy in my heart. His acquisition of the Pat Mining Company was to help the government of Minas Gerais clean up the mess, and Piziani was not grateful, and even pushed back on the proposed conditions.

"Huh." Tang Bao sneered, his face unpleasant, "Mr. Governor, Huffman deliberately emphasized the existence of five mining licenses on behalf of your government, which prompted me to take the risk of buying Pat Mining Company. If you can't guarantee approval, then we can't continue to talk! ”

This.

Looking at Tang Bao with an unhappy face, Piziani's heart suddenly sank, this was the second time he heard Tang Bao's words threatening to stop acquiring Pat Mining. Since he became governor of Minas Gerais, no one has dared to threaten him so nakedly, not even the president of the federal government.

But.

In front of Tang Bao today, Piziani was not only threatened again and again, but also deflated again and again, as if he had met a nemesis. He was depressed and annoyed. In normal times, he would have slapped the table and scolded his mother, but unfortunately he asked Tang Bao for help, and he didn't dare to break out at all.

Pat Mining's basket is not small, and if it is not handled well, it will cause a major earthquake in officialdom, and may directly end his political career.

For the sake of his political future, no matter how unhappy Piziani is, he can only endure it!

"Uh."

Huffman, who had been sitting silently with him, suddenly felt embarrassed when he heard Tang Bao call his name. At that time, he was desperate to sell the hot potato of Pat Mining Company, so he naturally picked good things to say, and even made some promises that were almost impossible to keep. Although he was suspected of overstepping his authority, Huffman thought he was doing the right thing. He believed that no one would dare to jump out and attack him about it. Properly handle the problem of Pat Mining, and save not a certain person, but a large group of officials!

"Huh. Mr. Huffman, I'm not talking nonsense, am I? Tang Bao's gaze turned to Hefman, who looked embarrassed, and asked calmly.

"This ......"

The look of embarrassment on Huffman's face deepened. At the same time, he secretly complained to Piziani in his heart, "The key is to solve the trouble of Pat Mining Company as soon as possible, why are you always thinking about it." This is no ordinary business partnership...... Who wants to wipe your ass for you without interest? Tang Bao didn't take the opportunity to open his mouth, so he should be happy. Do you still want to give no benefit at all? ”

Of course.

These complaints can only be hidden in the heart of the complaint, and Huffman will never dare to say it. As an assistant to the governor and a confidant, no one knows Piziani's strength and domineering better than him. He dared to question Piziani today for not being able to distinguish between priorities and priorities, and he might be out of work tomorrow......

So.

Huffman could only remain silent in embarrassment!

"Whew~~"

Taking a deep breath, Piziani barely managed to keep himself calm. Glancing at the officials sitting next to him, all of them looked anxious and apprehensive, which made his mind more sober. Dealing with the troubles of Pat Mining as soon as possible is fundamental, and nothing else matters.

"Mr. Tang, don't talk about stopping the acquisition of Pat Mining, it's easy to spoil the atmosphere. When it comes to this step, you and I are sincere. Then let's just negotiate frankly...... Frankly speaking, I am unwilling to let Mr. Tang get more than 100 million tons of iron ore out of thin air, but it is not purely difficult. It is an indisputable fact that state governments do not have the power to meddle in the approval of mining licenses. However, as a sign of good faith, the state government is willing to help persuade the Bureau of Mineral Production to approve it. I am confident that the Bureau of Mineral Production will carefully consider the state government's proposal. Piziani stated calmly.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded silently, this time Piziani was full of sincerity. The Bureau of Mining and Production is the approving body, but it will certainly take into account the opinions of local governments. Piziani promised to help convince that the approval of the mining licence was basically a foregone conclusion.

"Mr. Governor, the more than 100 million tons of iron ore we did not get out of thin air, and the mining also needs to pay taxes to your government, which is a win-win situation for both sides. Even without these mining licenses, we can still obtain exploration rights and mining rights in other iron ore areas. We are asking for direct approval of the five mining licenses from Pat Mining, which only reduces the cumbersome process and saves time. Asley emphasized.

"That's right."

Tang Bao smiled and nodded in agreement.

Forehead.

Looking at Tang Bao and Asli who sang and harmonized, Piziani was speechless for a while, not only to save time, but also to save exploration fees and signing fees. However, in order to avoid extraneous branches, he was too lazy to entangle again. The sooner you settle down, the sooner you can settle people's hearts. The Pat Mining scandal has touched the nerves of many people.

"Yes, you're right, it's a win-win situation for both parties!" Piziani replied incorrectly. "We all agree to your terms. However, I also have a few conditions......"

"Oh? Please speak! ”

Tang Bao said with a smile.

"First, the state government will come forward to coordinate the issue of trade unions, and if it is not appropriate to talk about it in the end, please ask Mr. Tang to integrate Pat Mining as gently as possible, we don't want to see a large number of employees of Pat Mining flock to the streets and government buildings to go on strike."

Tang Bao didn't reply, but looked at Asley.

"Yes, yes. I also hope for the peaceful integration of Pat Mining ~! What's more, as long as the mining license is approved, Pat Mining can expand its production capacity. In addition, the Inter-American Investment Group plans to invest in agriculture in Minas Gerais...... This will require a large number of employees, and if it goes well, it may not only not be necessary to lay off one person, but it will create thousands of jobs for the government of Minas Gerais! Asley said.

"Ahh It's true? That's really thankful. Piziani was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course. It all depends on the level of support of the government of Minas Gerais! Only with your support will the Americas Investment Group increase its investment and provide more jobs. All things being equal, we will also promise to give preference to locals. Asley promised.

"Yes, yes!"

Piziani repeatedly. Inflation and high unemployment have been a source of social unrest, and if he can solve one of these problems, he will definitely become a political star in Brazil, not only as governor, but also hopefully as a future Brazilian president.

Piziani, who has strong political ambitions, is excited to think about.

Tang Bao watched all this silently, with a smile on his face, but he was very satisfied with Asley's performance in his heart, the surprise and excitement on Piziani's face were not faked, obviously, Asley's words hit the opponent's soft underbelly.

It's been a long time.

Piziani suppressed the excitement in his heart, regained his composure, and continued the previous topic, "The second condition, after taking over Pat Mining, you must come up with funds to fill the financial hole as soon as possible. You must know that on the financial statements on the surface, Pat Mining has no debts. The $283 million loan is not a small amount, involving a number of banks in the state, and if the loan is not repaid early, the banks may make a mistake sooner or later. ”

"That's no problem! When Asley successfully takes over Pat Mining, the loan will be repaid. Tang Bao lacks everything now but cash, and he agreed very happily.

Call.

Piziani breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he added: "Pat Mining's original financial records must be destroyed, and at the same time, it must be guaranteed not to be leaked to the outside world. ”

"Huh. Rest assured, I'm planning to invest in Brazil for the long term, and I won't get burned. If you want to destroy the financial records, you can destroy them, I have no opinion. Moreover, I also guarantee that the scandal of Pat Mining is only known to a few people and will not be disseminated. Tang Bao said.

"Well, no other problems. Since Mr. Tang has no objections, then we will cooperate happily! Piziani said.

Tang Bao replied, "Happy cooperation!" ”

Achieving satisfactory results, the two smiled and shook hands. The lawyer slightly modified the original contract, and both of them signed it directly.

So far.

Tang Bao was given a mining company with total reserves of more than 300 million tons, while Piziani successfully disposed of a powder keg.

Everyone is satisfied!

Solve the trouble, Piziani is relieved that a big stone in his heart can sleep peacefully at night. He decided to hold a banquet to celebrate, and by the way, he picked up the wind for Tang Bao. Tang Bao agreed to repay the bank loan with $283 million without blinking, which made him clearly understand the wealth of the world's second richest man. Without worries, Piziani naturally wanted to win Tang Bao's investment.

The banquet was not as grand as that organized by the government in São Paulo, but was a small reception attended by high-ranking state officials. When eating, drinking, and having fun, the other party naturally tried his best to recommend Minas Gerais to Tang Bao, hoping to invest a little more. In particular, an official of the agricultural department saw that Tang Bao had invested in a large-scale farm development project in São Paulo, so he boasted about the agricultural resources of Minas Gerais, and he was eager to blow it to the sky.

But.

Tang Bao's main purpose in Minas Gerais this time is Pat Mining. For other investments, he doesn't want to interfere too much directly, and he plans to leave the next investment investigation to Asley to decide...... Be a spectator yourself. (To be continued.) )
