Chapter 109: Mine, All Mine

"But."

Before Hada could be happy, the guy then said with a smile: "Since it's a business, you have to look like you're doing business, you can take out a loan, but you have to have collateral, right?" ”

Hada immediately looked embarrassed, what mortgage did he take? The spice trade, tin mines, and oil fields have long been divided between European and American companies, and even the right to operate ferries between the islands is monopolized by the Dutch, and it is impossible for him to give Yang Feng these things that have been swallowed by the wolves, so that he, the prime minister of the republic, will do it.

At this time, Van Mork was also vigilant, if Yang Feng also thought about the scallop oil fields, it would be very dangerous.

"Do the rights to explore and exploit oil on the seabed off the coast of Java belong to scallops or Chevron?"

Yang Feng asked Van Mock.

"None of them, Shell only owns the onshore oil lease in Java, while Caltex and Stanwick, a subsidiary of New Jersey Standard, basically divide the island of Sumatra, the oil in Borneo belongs to Shell, and the oil on West Irian Island is jointly developed by the three."

Van Mork explained in detail, telling the guy not to reach out to these places, it was all dry food for the owner.

"Give me all the coastal areas of Java, I'm lucky to be able to find oil, and I'm unlucky if I can't find it."

Yang Feng said helplessly, just like how much he suffered, the original historical Indonesian offshore oil fields were all around Java Island!

Hada looked at Van Morek, and it was clear that he knew who he was.

The latter nodded in small increments.

"Absolutely." Hada immediately said with a smile.

"How much are you going to borrow?"

Yang Feng asked.

Hada gritted his teeth and stretched out a hand.

"50 million dollars?"

Hada nodded.

"Then this little thing is not enough, I don't know if I can find oil, in case I can't find it, I will lose a lot, although it is a loan, but such a huge amount of money, I will take it to the United States stock market and slip around, maybe I can make a lot of money, just your oil exploration and exploitation rights are much more risky than Wall Street, you have to add some conditions, there seems to be no oil here, right?"

Yang Feng pointed to Padang and said.

"Nope."

Hada hurriedly said.

"Then the mineral exploration and mining rights of West Sumatra, all minerals, what I find is nothing, it seems that it is not enough, plus here."

Yang Feng said and added Bintan Island.

Hada agreed with Van Mok's acquiescence.

An iron ore with a grade of nearly 70 percent, and a bauxite with an annual output of nearly one million tons at its peak went into Yang Yuan's pocket.

As for the fact that the loan was not worth mentioning, Führer Yang had not been short of money lately, and it was enough to give them a part of the pound bills he had exchanged with the British.

Of course, these transactions, including the return of Chinese property after the suppression of the rebellion, were directly determined in writing, and even Hada immediately set up a special statistical agency to count the property of the Chinese who had been robbed by the rebels.

Of course, some small mistakes in the statistical process are inevitable, for example, a statistician, because of some paid negligence, mistakenly writes the land that did not belong to a certain Chinese landlord as his, anyway, after this toss, there will be a large area of ownerless land in Java that will become ownerless.

His performance made Yang very satisfied, not only happily lent them 50 million US dollars worth of pound bills, but also mobilized the Chinese tycoons to fund the formation of a Chinese volunteer army to help the Republic fight, but because the Chinese are not good at fighting, so this volunteer army is completely composed of Malay mercenaries, including the Malay Mahathir who is also a Ming commander.

"Your Excellency, I think the scale of a regimental-level volunteer army is still too small."

Van Mock expressed his dissatisfaction very directly, what Yang Feng promised at the beginning, but it was a mercenary of an army, and now it has shrunk into a regiment all of a sudden, even if everyone understands that the original promise will definitely shrink, but this shrinkage is too big, right?

"The Chinese can show their loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, and so can other nationalities, just like the other republics of the Federation, they can also form a volunteer army to participate in the war!"

Yang Feng said.

You still need to say it!

Van Mork thought to himself that the purpose of the Dutch government's division was to take advantage of the fear of the landlords and capitalists of these autonomous republics about the Social Workers' Party and fool them into participating in the fighting in Java, but after these people participated in the war, the military expenses of the Dutch government were paid, and they had to supply weapons and ammunition.

"I can be responsible for the cost of fighting the Volunteers in an autonomous republic, but I also have to be compensated for certain amounts, such as mineral exploration and mining rights and resettlement of disaster victims."

Yang Feng said.

"Yes, so where do you want to be responsible? South Maluku Republic or East Borneo or Sulawesi? ”

Van Mock asked, he understood this very well, no one would do anything that was not beneficial, what else could be beneficial in the East Indies besides mineral resources?

"How's West Irion?"

Yang Feng looked at the map and said suddenly.

"West Irian?"

Van Mork was a little surprised, it was the farthest away from the Ming Empire, and it was the most barbarous of the colonies to which the East Indies belonged, although there was a little oil but the production was not much, and as for the vast majority of the inhabitants were semi-primitive races, this guy stretched his hand there, this is not a normal thing.

But he just had a gut feeling, and he couldn't think of anything that was abnormal, the only thing that could explain it was that because of the small population there, Yang Feng would need to supply fewer volunteers, and this guy chose there just to save money.

Of course, Van Mork has no qualifications to object to Yang Feng's choice, anyway, as long as the Ming Dynasty's navy and air force and the Dutch army fight side by side, everything else is an addition, and on the issue of the volunteers, Yang Feng can do so much is already a surprise, to be honest, even Van Mork himself did not really take his original verbal promise seriously.

If he knew what Yang Feng was thinking about, he would definitely not think like this.

What does the Savage West Irian have?

Glasberg gold-copper symbiotic mine, the world's largest single gold mine and the world's second largest copper mine, that big pit has more than two-thirds of Indonesia's gold reserves and 80 percent of copper reserves in history, the core industry of the United States Freeport Company, in 2010 alone, the Freeport Company dug out 550,000 tons of copper and 50 tons of gold from that big pit.

Of course, no one would know that there is such a huge treasure trove hidden in that wild mountain forest, and this big pit was only discovered in eight or eight years.
