"Milt, what kind of secrets do you think Pat Mining has?" The person who asked the question was naturally Morais, and they did not go far after leaving the private room, but just randomly found a table in the hall outside to eat and chat, and the most talked about was naturally the conversation in the private room.

Milt was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly low voice, "Whatever its secrets are, we just need to do our part." ”

"Well, that's right." Morais agreed, and then said slowly, "Mr. Tang is definitely the biggest customer we have ever met, and Jano, the vice president of Vale, is very polite to him, and Huffman is even more deliberate to curry favor with him...... Milt, I'll tell you the truth, although this trip has only been more than 20 hours, it has completely changed my perception. When I listened to Mr. Tang and Arnold open their mouths to talk about hundreds of millions of dollars in business, when Mr. Tang offered Yano a billion-dollar loan without blinking...... I don't know how you feel, but anyway, I feel a lot, and I feel that we rely on consulting services to make quick money, just like a dirt bun that does not enter the stream, and will never be able to stand at the same height as Arnold and Mr. Tang. ”

"You're right, we're not on the same level as them. Do you still want to squeeze into the circle of Arnold and Mr. Tang? Heh, I'm afraid that even the elders behind us don't have that qualification. To put it mildly, leaving the care of our fathers, are we a fart? Milt laughed to himself. After speaking, he picked up a large glass of beer and poured it violently, and it seemed that he was hit hard.

I was unceremoniously warned by Arnold last night, and I was "invited" out of the private room today...... The successive encounters made it difficult for Milt, who had always been smooth, to accept, but he had to face the reality.

"Ha, what's the matter, I was kicked out of the private room and felt uncomfortable? Hit on? Looking at Milt, who was not very interested, Morais laughed.

"Although reluctant to admit it. But it is. Milt replied in a low voice.

"It's normal to be hit! You and I can't deny it, not to mention the extremely powerful Mr. Tang, even Arno can throw us ten streets. However, it doesn't matter if there is a gap, the key is how we change! At the end of the day, Morais's eyes became unusually determined.

"Huh?"

Milt looked at his companion quizzically.

"You have also seen Tang Bao's background information, this time, he has invested heavily in Brazil, and he must find local partners, don't you think this is a great opportunity for us?" Morais said with excitement on his face. "If I'm not mistaken. Tang Bao's favorite investment place should be São Paulo, which happens to be the place we are familiar with! ”

"What are we going to do to Tang Bao to cooperate? Right, although St. Paul is our base camp, but the real situation you should understand; Money, it's okay to make some quick money by selling intelligence and news, and live a comfortable life, but it's ...... investment" Milt shook his head and didn't say anything.

In the past two years, I have made a lot of money by relying on consulting services, but this money comes and goes quickly, and almost all of them have almost lost it.

"Hey. Who says you have to spell these? We rely on sincerity! Tang Bao will not stay in Brazil for a long time, he must hope to find a partner worthy of trust, and we only need to do things wholeheartedly and gain the trust of the other party. Morais smiled confidently.

watched the two of them muttering non-stop. Ray just glanced at it casually, and then stopped paying attention, but sat quietly opposite Natalia, staring cautiously at the door of the box where Tang Bao was. Where approaching the door of the box. Even if they are passing by, they cannot escape their attention.

……

Inside the box.

Tang Bao and Huffman were still talking in depth about Pat Mining, during the conversation. He deliberately tried to probe the blacklist involving Pat Mining's corruption, and Huffman was always flickering in words, and it was clear that the question was very difficult for him and he became extremely cautious.

on this.

Tang Bao understood very well, so he didn't ask, and immediately changed the topic.

"Well, in general, the information you provided was very detailed, but one thing, and what I think was the most important point, was very vague. That's the issue of leasing iron ore areas at Pat Mining! I need to know exactly how much of the leased area has been leased, when, when it expires, and if it is even possible to forcibly acquire the leased mine in advance? Huffman, after you send someone to find out the situation, let's continue, otherwise there is no need to continue. Tang Bao said.

Nominally, it is a lease of the iron ore area, but in fact it is likely that someone has entered into a lease agreement to transfer Pat Mining's assets into their own accounts in a seemingly legal way.

If the good mining areas of Pat Mining are "rented" and the iron ore mines cannot be recovered in the short term, then Pat Mining is just an empty shell with hollowed out fruits.

Of course, Tang Bao could not be stupid enough to buy a shell company with a huge debt of $283 million.

"Investigate, I will definitely send someone to investigate." Seeing that such a serious situation did not scare Tang Bao away, Huffman was also overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

I was relieved for no reason, and sighed secretly, finally found a next home who was willing to take over Pat Mining.

But.

As soon as he relaxed for a moment, Huffman tensed his nerves again and discussed: "Mr. Tang, you see, this investigation will take time, and the auction will start tomorrow...... Can you go to the auction first and make sure you get Pat Mining? ”

"I said I didn't get any specific information about the leased mine and wouldn't continue talking. Aren't you kidding me to go to the auction now to take Pat Mining? Tang Bao asked.

"This ......"

Huffman couldn't argue with that.

"Since you are so anxious to find a next home for Pat Mining, wouldn't it be right for Pat Mining to sell it at auction?"

"Well, Mr. Tang, you're really joking. If the domestic company wins the bid, we can still try to mediate, but in case a foreign investor auctions Pat Mining and find a mistake, the difficulty of doing it may multiply, and it is even very likely to cause an earthquake! Previously, we approached Vale before the auction to make sure they were successful. And now, naturally, I hope that Mr. Tang can win the ......," Hefman said with a wry smile.

Oh.

Tang Bao patted the back of his head slightly, secretly scolding himself for being stupid, now that the Minas Gerais government is obviously trying its best to cover the lid, how can it tolerate an uncertain factor. Pat Mining can only be taken over by their appointed enterprises!

"Then you'll have to cancel the auction plan!" Tang Bao shrugged helplessly.

"Cancel the auction? It's that simple. The auction is organized and supervised by the Private-Ownership Committee, and it is difficult for us to intervene casually, not to mention that the auction will start tomorrow morning, and it is difficult to communicate with the idea of canceling the auction now. Even this sudden move will cause concern! ”

Well.

Tang Bao nodded approvingly, the auction that had been promoted for a long time was a "fat meat" that was extremely valued by the outside world, and it was suddenly revoked on the eve of the auction that the private-owned auction plan would inevitably cause waves. It's hard not to get noticed, and the last thing the Minas Gerais government wants is to focus on Pat Mining.

No way.

There is a ghost in my heart, and I am empty!

"Unfortunately, I can't help you. Instead of wasting your time with me, you might as well think of something else. Tang Bao expressed his attitude very clearly.

Huffman said, "No, you can help. Mr. Tang, as long as you come forward to photograph Pat Mining, everything will naturally be fine! ”

Tang Bao's brows furrowed slightly, and the words were so clear, but Huffman was still entangled in an uninteresting way, which obviously made Tang Bao a little displeased.

"Oh, Mr. Tang, it seems that you have misunderstood what I meant, I am not forcing you to bid for the Pat mine, but asking you to help you put on a show. You came forward to pretend to photograph Pat Mining, and as for whether you are willing to actually buy Pat Mining in the future, let's talk about it separately. Hefman noticed the displeasure in Tang Bao's eyes and hurriedly explained.

In fact.

When Arnold refused to buy Pat Mining last night, Huffman thought of this backup plan. Pat Mining is a fat meat in the eyes of the outside world, and it is impossible to sell it unsuccessfully, so it can only find someone to participate in the auction to ensure that Pat Mining does not fall into the hands of outsiders. As for what to do after taking pictures, you can only take one step at a time.

"Let me be a trustee?"

Tang Bao asked in astonishment.

"Tuo is deliberately raising the bidding price, and I asked Mr. Tang to come forward to auction Pat Mining, which is not a trust." Huffman laughed.

After a moment of relaxation, Huffman continued: "Mr. Tang, there is a buffer period of half a month after the auction is completed, including payment, asset takeover, etc. During this time, we will investigate the issue of leasing the mine as soon as possible. At that time, if Mr. Tang is willing to continue the acquisition, he will naturally be happy and take over Pat Mining on the spot. On the contrary, you can find a reason to terminate the acquisition agreement at will, and the loss is only the deposit for participating in the auction. We will compensate for these losses. If Mr. Tang invests in other projects in Minas Gerais, he will also give certain incentives and favors. ”

Well.

Tang Bao nodded secretly, the conditions given by Huffman were good, and they seemed to be full of sincerity.

Then.

Kate, who had not spoken, suddenly answered: "I have a question. ”

"Oh?" Huffman looked at Kate in surprise, then looked at Tang Bao, and saw that Tang Bao had no intention of stopping him, so he smiled and said, "Miss Kate, please speak." ”

"Due to information asymmetry, the outside world is particularly optimistic about the Pat Mining asset, and the auction price is very likely to be very high, and naturally far exceeds its actual value. After my boss won the auction at a high price, if he didn't plan to really buy Pat Mining, he naturally had nothing to say. But if the acquisition continues, how will the purchase price be determined? (To be continued.) )
