Indeed, although the imperial court of the Chinese Empire now completely encourages these merchants to set up industries in terms of policy, it has gradually become strictly regulated for the mining of local minerals, especially gold, silver and copper mines, oil, well salt, and other minerals, most of which are no longer approved for private capital mining, and even the local government below the county level does not allow mining, but requires the approval of the yamen of the governor above the government or even at the provincial level. That is to say, in addition to the commonly used minerals such as coal, steel, fertilizer, cement, etc., which are still open to the public, many other domestic minerals are only handed over to the local government above the government or even directly invested in the mining by the imperial court.

But for overseas countries other than the mainland of China, the imperial court completely relaxed all controls. On the contrary, the imperial court strongly supported the development of minerals overseas, especially the exploitation of such important resources as gold and copper. Even the exploration of the mine has been prepared in advance, and the mining fees charged are extremely low, so they have to wait for the domestic businessmen to mine.

Speaking of this, Jiang Mingzhang asked: "Brother Xue, what is the situation of the copper mine that you see in that place called Chile that is about to be mined?" Although the head of the family has sent someone to inquire, he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he is still a little worried. ”

Xue Maoyuan said excitedly: "Brother Jiang, please rest assured Mr. Jiang." If it weren't for the fact that the copper mine was too big, and the imperial court had a restriction requiring an investment of at least 30 million saint yuan, Xue Mou's funds were not enough, and Xue Mou said that he would not have to eat it secretly. It is a large copper mining area with a radius of dozens of kilometers, although it is a desert, but now the Erma Consortium has set up a Erma Mining Company there, and the copper mine we are going to invest in is a small copper mine next to the copper mine that the Erma Mining Company is going to mine. Of course, to say a little smaller, in fact, it is just compared with the Erma Company, compared with the Dafa Copper Mine in front of us, this copper mine is less than one-fiftieth of the over there, or even one hundredth!

According to the explorer, the reserves of the copper ore are conservatively estimated to be more than 100 million tons, with a copper grade of 1.31%, and if all of them are mined and smelted into copper, they can reach millions of tons of pure copper. When the time comes, we will hire more miners and build a smelter, which is expected to mine 500,000 tons of copper ore and produce about 6,500 tons of copper per year. ”

Jiang Mingzhang immediately calculated quickly in his mind: according to the cheap purchase price of the imperial court, it could also reach 3,000 saint yuan per ton. Moreover, with the recent rapid development of the empire's economy, the currency circulating in the market is becoming increasingly scarce, and a large number of copper coins are needed to be issued and circulated every year, coupled with the recent laying of telegraph cables everywhere in the imperial court, the black market price of metal copper has long exceeded the copper price of the imperial court, or it will not be long before the imperial court will definitely raise the price of copper, and today's copper price is in short supply because a large amount of copper is made into copper cables. It is then sold as pure copper to make a profit.

In this way, this South American copper mine, as long as the large-scale investment continues to recruit more manpower, the annual output of copper not to mention 6,500 tons, as long as it reaches 5,000 tons, there will be 15 million Shengyuan of book operating income, excluding labor costs, considering the factors of overseas long distances to recruit manpower and inconvenient material transportation, there are also nearly 10 million Shengyuan profit points. Moreover, according to the prediction of his shrewd brother, the copper price on the black market and the copper price stipulated by the imperial court have been seriously inverted, or it will not be long before the copper price will definitely rise, and if you don't take advantage of the large-scale mining of copper ore by Erma Mining Company, you will miss this huge profit opportunity!

Moreover, if it is really like what Xue Maoyuan said, the reserves of copper mines are only afraid of being larger, as long as they are willing to invest in miners and mining machines and other costs, the speed of mining will be accelerated, and I am afraid that there will be more profits!

"Brother Xue, how much are you going to let our Jiang family invest? How much can you come up with yourself? Jiang Mingzhang asked clearly.

Xue Maoyuan was overjoyed, he knew that the other party had already decided to invest in copper mining after passing his inspection, and hurriedly replied: "Brother Jiang Mingjian, brother, I am going to borrow some more from relatives and friends in Nanyang to collect more than 10 million Shengyuan." The imperial court stipulates that it will cost more than 30 million holy yuan, and for the target copper mine we fancy in the South American continent, it is best to have more than 40 million holy yuan, so that the copper smelter can also be opened, and the profit will be greater.

That is to say, Brother Jiang, you have to invest at least 20 million saint yuan, and if it is 30 million holy yuan, it will be better. ”

"Let's invest 40 million saints directly! In this way, the copper mine will be completely opened, and the copper smelter for smelting copper will also be established, so that it will be better! Jiang Mingzhang directly clapped the board and said: "The shares are also better, our Jiang family accounts for 8 percent, and Brother Xue you account for 2 percent." But I still have to report it to my brother, and there should be no problem. ”

After listening to Jiang Mingzhang's decision, Xue Maoyuan was not surprised, in this case, the other party would definitely invest a lot, so that not only could a huge copper mine be opened, but also a copper smelter could be established, and that mining area could be completely developed into a town. It's just that the only regret is that my funds are too small, and the shares in it are a bit low, this feeling, knowing that it is a big fat meat, but can only share one-fifth, this feeling is really uncomfortable. Fortunately, Xue Maoyuan knew that with so much money, the output of this copper mine was much higher than he originally expected, and even if he only had one-fifth of the shares, the profits in hand would not be less. Thinking about it this way, my heart is much more comfortable.

After the two negotiated, Jiang Mingzhang immediately decided to report to the helm of the Jiang family to invest in South American mining.

A few days later, in a large and luxurious office on the top floor of the five-story headquarters of the Industrial Bank in Guangzhou, Jiang Mingqian, who was already 70 years old, received a telegram from his younger brother Jiang Mingzhang from Manila, Luzon, suggesting that the Chiang family should mobilize funds as soon as possible to join the Singapore Xue family to invest in copper mines in South America.

Jiang Mingqian invited several core members of the Jiang family to the headquarters of the Industrial Bank and directly informed him of his decision to invest 40 million Shengyuan to open the copper mine and build a new copper smelter on the South American continent.

In addition, after Jiang Mingchuan learned about the affairs of the Erma Bank and the Erma Company from the telegram, he immediately realized something sensitively, and immediately informed some businessmen in Hunan, Hubei, and even Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Guangdong, and these important shareholders of the Industrial Bank to come to the headquarters of the Industrial Bank in Guangzhou to prepare to convene a general meeting of shareholders of the Industrial Bank.
