Chapter 572: Buying Mine
On a sunny morning, it would be nice if the temperature could be a little higher, and of course it would be nice to have a cup of coffee with a whirring mouth...... And, of course, it would be nice to have another plate of air-dried beef, if ...... If only there was one more woman!
A mine guard sat on a guard tower with a cold rifle in his arms, his eyes wandering back and forth around the labor camp. The temperature in the west has dropped to freezing, and the outside temperature is about minus 15 degrees, and the whirring cold wind is desperately drilling into the gap between the clothes, just like the moment when life is born.
It's very cold outside, but it's not so cold in the cave, and the temperature gets higher the further down the tunnel, which is between seven and ten degrees Celsius at the stage of the current mining deposit.
This is an iron mine with a medium iron content, and last year the owners of the iron mine earned about 700,000 yuan, and this year a group of 600 slaves have been added, who were brought in from the west coast a few days ago and are in the adaptation period. Therefore, the guards on the iron mine could not roast in a warm room, eat beef, and discuss the affairs of the girls by the way.
According to experience over the years, these new slaves were often the most trouble-prone group, and after a short period of adaptation to the environment, they began to think about how to escape, how to return home, or expose everything here. According to the experience of the western mine owners, a hundred slaves survived, and no more than forty were able to work honestly. The rest were either hanged for running away, or contracted illness because of homesickness or other reasons, and finally died here.
As long as they can survive the first half of the period, the management will be relatively easy, and all those who still have the luck to go home will naturally be honest when they see the black and red crosses in the camp and the dried corpses on them.
Just when the mine guards monitoring the camp on the sentry tower were a little sleepy, the sound of horses' hooves gradually louder in the distance woke him up, and he looked out of the camp, and a dozen horses were spitting white gas on the cold ground, and galloped towards the camp quickly.
In fact, there are cars in the west, and many cities have a lot of cars, but people are still willing to ride horses when they are in the wild, and the devil knows if those cars will encounter some problems in the wild and be unable to move, such as being struck by a rock in the grass, or suddenly sinking on the seemingly stable ground. The longer the journey, the less safe the vehicle becomes, and the expensive cars don't tell you where you have water or where you can go home.
But horses can, they can find water, they can find their way home, which is very important for people walking in the desert areas of the endless Gobi and even the western core.
The mine guards on the guard tower immediately picked up a corded phone, squeaked, and twenty or so people immediately came out of the villa area separated from the miners' camp, and they walked towards the gate of the camp with guns in their hands. As soon as they arrived at the camp gate, the guests were also outside the gate.
"This is the mining industry of Andorra, who are you looking for?", the captain of the mine guard team stood inside the door, looking at the guests in thick furs with a scrutinizing gaze, and did not immediately open the door.
Many horse bandits and robbers here have their own way of survival, and it seems that there are many people hiding in the Gobi Desert, as long as they trick them into opening the gate, the next moment they will suddenly rush out and pour into the camp, wash the blood up and down here, and then go away to wait for the auction to get the money.
The man with a certain hat jumped off his horse, walked to the iron gate, took off his hat, showed all his face, and then said in a loud voice: "We have contacted Mr. Andorra, this time to discuss business, you can go to Mr. Andorra for verification." β
"I'll do that!", the captain of the mine guard team instructed the team to keep an eye on these people, then turned and ran quickly back to the villa area, and after a while he ran back again, and the door was opened, "Mr. Andorra is waiting for you inside, please come in." β
Ellith nodded, put his hat back on, and led the horse into the iron gate, then handed the reins to the Mine Guards. They know how to take care of these big treasures in winter, especially in winter, when the horses that have been running for a long time are already sweating, and if they are driven into the stable without doing anything, the horses will get sick and die in a few days at most. They first wiped the sweat off the skin of the horses with a large dry towel, and then took the horse brush several times and wiped it again, before taking out a special cotton cover from the back of the saddle and draping it on the horse, and sending delicate fine food to replenish the horse's strength, and later some coarse food.
In fact, some of the problems that humans and horses need to face in nature are basically the same, and they can't eat too well or too badly.
After entering the largest and most luxurious villa in the camp, the group met the owner of the mine, Mr. Andorra.
Mr. Andorra is in his forties, with thick hair, gray eyes, and an impressive hooked nose. He dressed in formal clothes and warmly invited the visitors to sit down, but after carefully examining them, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Didn't Mr. Doolin come?"
"Yes, I'm very sorry Mr. Andorra, Mr. Durin can't get out for the time being because he has some urgent matters. He asked me to convey his apologies for the incident, and I hope you can understand that he will definitely come to see you in person when he is done with his business. β
Andorra's face was a little strange, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled, "It's okay, it's not an important matter anyway, as long as you can call the shots on behalf of Mr. Durin." β
Doolin wants to buy Andorra's iron ore mine, which has been mined for seven years and can continue to be mined for five to ten years, according to the geologists' estimates. Five years from now, there will still be output, but at that time the ore production was far less than it is now. This is a vein that has entered the countdown to mining, and it has some value, but it is not of much value.
Acquaintance with Andorra was made through Mr. Jack, whose poker organization operated more than a dozen mines in the western part of the empire. Some mines do have a stable output that can bring benefits to the organization, which is a formal and normal investment, but there are also some mines that have long been out of output and are still "profitable". This is a very common method of money laundering, through the different companies in their hands through the false purchase of ore, the money from the sale of "ore" becomes laundered money after paying a tax.
The money will be invested in some companies according to the customer's requirements, or remitted to the bank account of other countries through legal channels, as for what will happen in the future, it is a matter outside the business.
After DΓΌhrin revealed that he wanted to buy several mines and had no requirements for the output and quality of the mines, Mr. Jack introduced him to a number of mine owners who were interested in selling, and Andorra was one of them.
Although the mine will continue to generate income in the future, Mr. Andorra's idea is to take a large sum of money, advance future profits, and then move on to industries with higher returns on investment and better prospects. This kind of person is actually very common in the west, mining is just a means for them to get rich, and after getting rich, they will find a way to enter other industries, because the scale and development of the mining industry limits the rate of return in the next stage, just like Luke made a lot of money and thought about jumping out.
Only those who have no ideals and no pursuits will be content with the current situation and continue to operate the mining industry without dying.
"I have two sales contracts here, and I have signed them, and this iron mine is Mr. Doolin's. Andorra asked his assistant to bring two copies of the agreement and put them in front of Ellis, along with a pen that didn't look cheap.
Ellis didn't sign right away, he has a lot of shortcomings, such as not being flexible and not being flexible enough to do things, but he also has his own strengths, that is, careful, cautious and serious. He took the two agreements in his hand and read them carefully, and Durin found a teacher for them to do literacy, and the results were very gratifying so far. It's just that Ellis's reading of the agreement made Andorra frown slightly.
After about twenty minutes, Ellis put down the two documents and asked with some confusion: "Mr. Andorra, this doesn't seem to be the same as what we said before?!"
"Different?", Andorra put down the cup in his hand and walked over, picked up one of them, looked at it quickly, and asked, "Is there anything different?
Ellis turned to the fifth page with a blank face and pressed his finger on one of the lines, "The amount, the amount is not the same. The price you negotiated with Mr. Dohrin is 2.6 million, but here is 3.6 million, which is a million more than we said!"
Andorra put the paper down and shrugged his shoulders, "I have rehired a young geologist, and he told me that the profit of my iron ore production in the next four years is guaranteed at this price, which I think is reasonable, even if my answer is the same here in Doolin now." β
"Forgive me for not being able to sign, it's not the same as I know, I'm sorry!", Ellis shook his head and stood up, he didn't dare to make a decision for Durin, and it was a decision worth a million!
Seeing that these people were leaving, Andorra's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and his voice became a little sharp, "Durin didn't come, and you don't want to sign, do you really think anyone can come and tease me?"
