1246. in the first place
Laodao's village is called Baima Village, located in the middle of a big mountain on the edge of the Nu River, and several other villages are scattered in this mountain range.
There was only one dirt road to the village, and it happened to rain a few days ago, and it was full of mud, and it took half a day for the group to reach the village.
Laodao's village is the largest village in this Miao tribe, there are thousands of people, although the village is poor, but the village is very clean, the houses are built by the mountain, scattered.
Lao Dao's home is in the center of the village, and it is also the best, with a large area, five or six hundred square meters, three in and three out, and it is considered a mansion here.
When they arrived, they settled here, and the old knife treated them as honored guests, and entertained them with good wine and meat every day.
Li Yifan was not polite to live in Lao Dao's house, while George, and Steven did not dare to slack off, and soon devoted themselves to work.
Li Yifan is here, which is equivalent to their prison army, if their performance does not satisfy Li Yifan, then if they really want to talk about credibility, their family and friends will suffer.
Therefore, they don't have their original posture and style, they are all like old cows in the wilderness, running back and forth in the mountains and mountains every day with machines.
Lao Dao and those villagers are interesting enough, seeing that they have a lot of things, it is inconvenient for a few people to carry them, and a special team was organized to organize logistics for them.
I went out to deliver tea, water and food, and usually helped them carry their luggage and those exploration instruments. It also saved these guys a lot of effort.
The air in the mountains is good. There is no pollution. The food is also pure and natural, but after all, it is a bit out of touch with the outside world, and after only staying for a few days, Li Yifan is a little tired of staying, so he left a few people who can replace him to supervise the work and returned to the provincial capital from the mountains.
After all, it is also exhausting to stay anywhere, so it is more comfortable to stay back in the city.
With the extra pressure of Li Yifan, George and Steven have improved their work efficiency a lot, when these foreigners used to work. It's all unhurried.
If you work for an hour in the morning, you will have a morning tea, and you will take a lunch break after a small hour, and then an hour after you start work in the afternoon, you will have an afternoon tea, and then continue to work.
At the end of the day, the effective working hours are pitiful, but they themselves are not in a hurry, because their wages are paid by the hour. The longer a job is done, the more wages you earn.
As for what the cost of the company. That's no longer on their radar, so the efficiency of foreigners has always been a big problem.
But this time, because of Li Yifan's fierce spirit, these guys didn't dare to delay a little, and even took the initiative to work overtime for free, wanting to finish this job as soon as possible, and then leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
After all, Li Yifan's gang is really terrible, and they will destroy other people's families at every turn, and the second is that they are all racists.
Li Yifan doesn't care what they think, as long as they honestly finish the work smoothly, it's OK.
Soon two weeks passed, and during this time, the foreigners and the villagers' support group worked day and night, and finally had a general understanding of the land under the feet of Lao Dao and their clan, and also came up with a rough exploration result.
The land area controlled by the Lao Dao clan is about more than 300 square kilometers, of course, most of it is mountainous, and if it is flat, there is definitely not so much.
But the reserves are indeed very rich, and even some mines are relatively shallow, and the ore can be dug out by digging down one or two meters from the surface, and it definitely belongs to high-quality lead-zinc ore, and the taste of the ore is more than 50%.
The proven area is roughly estimated to be as high as 1.5 million tons.
Li Yifan didn't know the reserves of these mines, which was more or less within the range of lead-zinc mines, after all, he had never been in contact with the non-ferrous metal industry, so he flew back to the capital as soon as he took this exploration report.
Heidi had been waiting for news from him here in the capital, and when she saw him return to her with a report, she couldn't help but give him a hug.
"Good work."
"Hehe, what is this! You look at the report first, I don't know much about that. ”
Li Yifan said as he opened the suitcase, took the exploration report from the inside, and then let Heidi read it in the study by himself, while he went to the bathroom.
By the time he came out of the bathroom, Heidi had already finished reading the report, and she didn't say anything, but Li Yifan could tell that she was excited.
"What? Are you happy with the results? ”
"It's not just satisfaction, we should just find a place to have a drink."
Heidi said to Li Yifan with a smile that she was in a good mood at this time.
"Don't go anywhere else today, just stay at home, I have some good things here."
Li Yifan said with a smile, this is his mansion in Yangchao District, he knows that Westerners like wine, so he also specially asked someone to get a few good bottles of red wine and white wine.
He pulled one out of the wine cabinet and filled it up for Heidi, the pale golden light in the goblet, Heidi took the glass and took a sip.
"Well, but the Grand Heights Ice Wine, where did you get it, this wine is not produced very much every year."
Heidi is indeed worthy of a woman with the title of European nobility, and for people of their level, fighting wine is a basic skill.
This bottle of wine was specially brought back from Germany by Li Yifan, and the price was very high, because the annual production was quite limited.
"Hehe, I asked someone to get it, I know you like it."
Li Yifan replied with a smile, then took a sip of wine, and then asked.
"I also read the exploration report, it's just lead-zinc ore, and the reserves are roughly estimated, that is, 1.5 million tons, is this a lot? Is it worth the investment? To be honest, where the environment is not good, if you want to invest, you need a lot of investment, the most important thing is that the reserves and ore grade, those local villagers also know, their asking price is not low! ”
Li Yifan asked Heidi tentatively, Heidi didn't care, she gently shook the wine glass in her hand, looked at the pale golden liquid, constantly hanging on the wall of the wine glass, and then slowly faded.
"How much do they ask?"
Heidi asked nonchalantly.
"One hundred million yuan! And now it seems that many competitors also know about this information, and they don't know who leaked the news, and it seems that other people are also in contact with them. ”
Thinking about the attitude of the old knife when he was leaving, this made Li Yifan a little annoyed, these mountain people were too insincere.
But people are also for their own sake, do they do business, of course, the highest price wins.
He doesn't know about non-ferrous metals like lead and zinc, and he doesn't know whether the asking price of the old knife is expensive or not.
However, under his influence, with a reserve of 1.5 million tons, he dared to ask for 100 million, which really seems to be a bit exaggerated.
"A hundred million? Haha, give it to them! Hani, you don't know this business, the reserves of 1.5 million tons are actually not low, they can be regarded as a medium mineral deposit, the most important thing is to make their ore buried in shallow layers, easy to mine, and the ore is of high taste, easy to refine, these are all factors that need to be considered, so they ask for 100 million, not a problem, even a high point is not a problem. If I win this mine, I plan to invest in the local refining enterprise with an annual output of 70,000 tons, and the total investment is not much. ”
As soon as Heidi said this, Li Yifan also knew that they might be asking for a sky-high price for old knives, but in fact, in Heidi's eyes, this price is not expensive.
After all, his advisory group has given a very accurate prediction that in the next few years, the price of such non-ferrous metal resources will rise as if it were a head, and a 20% increase in a year is not a problem.
After the financial crisis, Americans are frantically turning on the money printing machine, and the price of such metal resources is not a big problem even if it doubles several times.
And listening to Heidi's tone, building a refinery with an annual output of 70,000 tons seems to be quite large.
Heidi was still shaking the glass in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking, but after a while, she stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window of the house, looking out at the lights of the house.
Li Yifan felt as if she had something on her mind, but she didn't want to say it, and he didn't want him to ask.
After a long moment, Heidi turned her back to him and opened her mouth.
"Hani, have you heard of the Rothschilds?"
"Haha, what are you kidding, as long as you are in business, how many people have never heard of their family's name?"
The famous Red Shield family, if Li Yifan hadn't heard of it, then he would have been in vain.
"Did you know that they hold a secret annual meeting every year?"
Heidi's words made Li Yifan stunned, he had really heard of this matter, but it had never been exposed, and they had always been very low-key.
However, more than ten years later, an accident, the annual meeting of the Rothschild family in London was exposed by reporters, and the people who went to attend the annual meeting were all famous figures.
Not to mention the rich people from all over the world, even the crown prince Charles of the British royal family, and the former president of the United States were all present, but even these powerful people, in front of the Red Shield family, are at the level of doormen.
At that time, he also looked at a lot of photos sent back by his colleagues, and the appearance of the two groveling in front of Rothschild's family was unimaginable. (To be continued......)
