Chapter 663: The Ore Trade That Makes the West Wary
Tswane, South Africa.
Intense meetings are taking place.
The two sides of the meeting were Hao Bo, vice president of Bluestar Group in Africa, to negotiate.
Hao Bo is a South African with a quarter of the blood, his grandfather is a South African Chinese, but he is a native of South Africa, through his own efforts, he helped Bluestar Group open up the African market, and successfully grew from a salesperson to the vice president of Bluestar Group in Africa.
Bluestar Group has a number of operations in South Africa, a garbage treatment plant, and some mobile phone sales. Bluestar Group's chip business also cooperates with government departments and non-profit organizations in South Africa. In addition, seven doctors from the National Hospital of South Africa are currently undergoing further training at Huaguojiang City People's Hospital.
Bluestar Group's biggest influence in South Africa is the mobile phone business.
The first and second generation mobile phones of Huaxing that have been eliminated by Huaguo are currently the middle and high-end products in the South African market, and are deeply loved by the South African middle class. Therefore, Bluestar Group still has considerable influence in South Africa.
Last year, Huaxing mobile phone has surpassed Apple in South Africa to become the second mobile phone brand second only to Samsung, and has also become the largest high-end mobile phone brand.
Bluestar Group is a world-famous brand with a lot of appeal, which is the perception of Bluestar Group by the middle and high-class classes in South Africa.
After more than a week of investigation, the Bluestar team has inspected three uranium mines in the central region of South Africa.
These three uranium mines contain more than 75% of all uranium in South Africa and are of high quality and easy to mine.
As early as the sixties and seventies of the last world, the British set up mines at these three uranium mining sites, transported the mined uranium ore to the island for refining, and developed the nuclear industry.
However, with the lifting of apartheid and the black party, of course, this few mines were nationalized by the South African government.
Quite ridiculously, after the three uranium mines were nationalized in South Africa, South Africans did not know what to do.
Very embarrassing.
In fact, this can also be understood, and the countries in the world that can play the nuclear industry can be counted on their fingers.
In addition to the five rogue countries, there are only countries such as Beibang, Asan, and Tieba.
A country that drives out and hates European elites, and is ruled entirely by blacks, will not have the technology to mine and use uranium.
Uranium ore is also a raw material for the nuclear industry and is very sensitive. South Africa is reluctant to be mined by Westerners, so it has been left there.
Now that the Blue Star Group is here, South Africans are certainly willing to cooperate with it.
"I'm very happy with your minerals, we need uranium ore of this quality." Hao Bo gave a positive assessment of uranium ore.
South Africa's Minister of Minerals, Susan, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We can cooperate on mineral resources. ”
Because he learned that Hao Bo was of Chinese descent, the South African side respected him very much.
Susan also put forward the request of the South African side: "Your company invests 20 billion RMB to mine uranium ore, of which Bluestar Group owns 60% of the shares, China owns 40% of the shares, and the minerals are sold at international market prices." ”
South Africa thought that the Blue Star Group was interested in minerals and wanted to do a mining business, so the lion opened his mouth and asked for a stake and a share of the profits from exports.
This calculation was wrong, and Bluestar Group demanded to own all the shares of the minerals. The uranium ore mined is not for export to other countries to sell for money, but is all handed over to the Blue Star Group Shahutai Special Science and Technology Zone for use.
These uranium deposits cannot even meet the future needs of the Bluestar Group, but can only meet the needs of the stage.
Therefore, Hao Bo also gave his own conditions according to Chen Nuo's order: "30 billion RMB to buy all the rights of the three uranium mines!" We pay the appropriate mineral tax and transaction tax in accordance with the relevant laws of your country. ”
South Africa does not have any rights to minerals, and Huaguo will buy out all the resources of minerals for 30 billion RMB.
Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable to the South African side!
They are not brainless and know that they want long-term profits, not short-term profits.
30 billion RMB looks like 10 billion more than 20 billion RMB, but this is a hammer deal, and if you own a stake, for every ton of uranium ore exported, South Africa will have income.
What if the price of uranium ore rises in the future?
What if South Africa has the technology to develop nuclear power in the future?
Susan's team had to think about the future of South Africa.
"We need equity! That can't be changed! Susan gave South Africa's bottom line: "As for the proportion of shares, we can negotiate again." ”
The bottom line on the South African side is 37 Kai, and South Africa has a 30% stake.
Hao Bo will not show mercy to South Africa's subordinates just because South Africa is his homeland, he will not give an inch and say: "There is no room for negotiation on the matter of equity. Our group can make concessions in other areas. ”
Hao Bo gave more attractive and practical conditions for South Africa: "First, we will build two planting buildings for your country free of charge, which can provide food, fruits and vegetables for 500,000 people. The management and operation rights of the building will be handed over to your country free of charge after three years of operation by Bluestar Group. ”
The four planting buildings can supply 1 million people with food, fruits and vegetables.
Please note! The Blue Star Group counts the head not to make you eat half full or seven points full, but to calculate it according to an adult (180 cm tall, 180 kg in weight, eat to support).
So two planting buildings can fully feed the population of about 2 million people in South Africa!
If it were a little more even, and the amount was calculated in the range of filling the stomach, without growing fruits and vegetables, and all the food, the two planting buildings could barely feed 5 million people!
South Africa now has more than 50 million people, and two plantation buildings can feed 10% of the country's population.
South Africa's economy is now in a recession, and eating is already a problem!
According to incomplete statistics, the number of people living below the subsistence line in South Africa has reached 47% of the country's population, which is to solve 25 million!
Two planting buildings could fully feed one fifth of the poor!
Nothing could be more alluring than this.
It should be noted that after three years of operation, the Blue Star Group handed over the management of the plantation building to the South African side.
Hao Bo added: "In the past three years, we have not been in business to make money in your country, but to cultivate an excellent management team of plantation buildings. We will provide the raw materials for the planting building at cost price. ”
Hao Bo looked into Susan's eyes and said, "This is our first proposal. ”
"The second." Hao Bo paused, Susan's team's eyes widened, their breathing was nervous, and they didn't know what other favorable conditions the Blue Star Group would give.
"We will build the production line of Huaxing mobile phone to your country, which is expected to provide 500,000 to 100,000 jobs, and there will be more in the future, according to the current profit of Huaxing mobile phone, the production plant will also generate enough tax revenue and additional output value."
I'm excited!
Susan's team is intrigued!
Huaxing mobile phones sell well not only in South Africa, but also in Ethiopia, Kenya and other African countries.
If the production line were to be built in South Africa, it would create a large number of jobs in South African cities.
Don't underestimate a job, a job means a salary to feed a family, and it means social stability!
"In the future, we will build more production lines here." Hao Bo promised.
The first and second generations of Huaxing mobile phones began to be phased out in China, and the production line was eliminated at the same time.
However, the first and second generation of Huaxing mobile phones still have a large market in the world, Africa, Europe, Lamy, Southeast Asia and other countries, Huaxing first and second generation mobile phones are still the representatives of high-end mobile phones, and the sales are not cheap.
The construction of the production line in South Africa will definitely make South Africa's GDP quite good.
"I don't know if your country will agree to such a condition if we put forward such conditions!" Hao Bo looked at Susan, convinced that no South African could refuse such a condition.
"I ...... I need to report back to the top! In fact, Susan had completely agreed with Hao Bo's proposal in her heart.
Food, factories and jobs are South Africa's biggest concerns, compared to the uranium mines that have been dying there and the unknown sales market.
If the Blue Star Group can really deliver on the above promises, South Africa will make a lot of money.
"But we have two more strings attached." Hao Bo said: "In view of the unstable security situation in your country, the security of the three mines is the responsibility of the Blue Star Group itself, and you must allow the security personnel of the Blue Star Group to bring weapons and equipment into the country. Finally, if we encounter difficulties from your government and relevant authorities in exporting uranium ore, all of the above commitments will be nullified. ”
Negotiations are tentative for the time being, and Susan will report back immediately.
South Africa's high-level officials also held overnight meetings to discuss cooperation.
30 billion RMB! The problem of feeding 5 million poor people! The employment problem of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people!
There is nothing to think about, the South African president specially approved the terms of cooperation with the Blue Star Group, and repeatedly instructed Susan to make this matter a success.
After the cooperation was successful, all formalities were specially approved by the president himself.
Mr. President himself still knows that the South African bureaucracy is quite corrupt.
Hao Bo fully reported the situation to the headquarters of Bluestar Group.
Dai Yanfei was quite puzzled when she saw the conditions given by the Bluestar Group, and asked, "Are the conditions we gave too generous?" ”
Except for Hwakook and Blue Island, there are no planting buildings built overseas.
The planting building has not yet made any effort, but Dai Yanfei knows that this is definitely a sharp knife for the Bluestar Group to leverage the world's rights.
Don't look at the fact that Chinese people can afford to eat now, in many countries and regions around the world, eating is really a big problem.
Why doesn't Chen Nuo know the value of the planting community, which is the magic weapon to fight for food with the United States in the future, so why is it directly applied to South Africa now?
"We already have data on the uranium mine in South Africa, which can be used by the Bluestar Group for five to ten years, or even longer," Chen explained. What kind of value will the space car create for such a long time? What does 30 billion have to do with two plantation buildings? ”
Of course, Dai Yanfei knows the impact of the aerospace vehicle on the strategic layout of the Blue Star Group in the future.
Chen Nuoyou mentioned the second point: "Money is worthless in our account, we need foreign investment, we need to expand the influence of the Blue Star Group, this time we invest in South Africa, is to integrate South Africa into the economic circle of the Blue Star Group." In the future, we will talk about the direct exchange of the blue dollar and the South African rand. ”
Dai Yanfei only understood the boss's ambition at this time.
The rest of the matter, without the boss to say, she also understood.
What is the location of South Africa?
Located in the southernmost tip of Africa, it is the only way for most of the world's goods to go from Asia to Europe, and is the most important port for African goods to land, and South Africa is also one of the most influential countries in Africa.
If South Africa were to be included in the Blue Star Group's economic circle, the landscape of Africa would change dramatically.
These follow-up things are not simply calculated by calculating how much money is invested, and how much money is reported.
Chen Nuo signed and agreed to the cooperation draft sent by Hao Bo.
Three days later, in a large conference room in Tsneva.
The Blue Star Group, represented by Hao Bo, and the South African side, represented by Susan, signed the "Memorandum of Cooperation between the Blue Star Group and the Republic of South Africa", which confirmed the negotiations between the two sides in the past few days.
In the future, contracts for specific sub-projects will also be signed.
Because of the proposal of the Blue Star Group, the agreement was signed quite confidentially, and no reporter was invited to the scene, nor did any press conference be held.
Huaguo, Yanjing.
The proposal for the establishment of a special science and technology zone in Shahutai has been confirmed to be on the agenda and is currently under intense discussion.
With the big boss's reply, this bill will definitely pass, but there may be some twists and turns, and there will be some delay in going through the procedure.
But Chen Nuo couldn't wait.
He directly told the above that he would transport the uranium ore from South Africa back to the Shahutai area of Huaguo.
The big boss knew that the group's experiments in the Shahutai area were now being carried out intensively, so he specially approved Chen Nuo's application.
Uranium ore is allowed to enter the territory without hindrance from customs.
After the signing of the uranium mining agreement between Bluestar Group and South Africa, Bluestar Group was directly stationed at the mine site.
The mining practices left over from the British in the last world were inefficient but still workable.
Bluestar Group is a two-step process, one is to start mining immediately after repairing the mining facilities in the previous world, and the other is to immediately improve the mining equipment and facilities, aiming to increase production in a few months.
South Africa is an African country, not a Chinese country, and it is a country where black and white people coexist.
The United States and Europe have many eyes and ears in South Africa.
The contract between the Blue Star Group and South Africa was kept strictly secret and not made public, but a week later, it became known to CIA agents embedded in South Africa.
The CIA is quite densely wired in South Africa, and it is normal to be able to get information from a few high-ranking officials.
Bluestar Group signed an agreement with South Africa to buy uranium ore!
Bluestar Group owns the mining rights of three high-quality uranium mines!
The people of the United States were shocked when they received bad news one by one!
Why did Bluestar Group buy uranium ore overseas at this time?
Why did Bluestar Group go beyond China and buy uranium ore directly from South Africa?
Or is it related to some other experiment?
The United States and the West are on alert.
Immediately afterward, more agents began to operate on multiple fronts, and they wanted to know more information.
