Chapter 1536: Gold and Worry
Yemen is the country with the highest per capita gun ownership in the world, here, people can buy guns freely when they are 18 years old, there is no need for any formalities and the like, after a certain period of evolution, guns have become a necessity for people, and many times its meaning is no longer in itself, but has become something for individuals to show off, a condition for evaluating wealth.
From an outsider's point of view, this evolution is deformed, but in Xiao Yang's opinion, the more serious this kind of atmosphere is, the better, because only in this way can they make more money here.
The turmoil in Yemen in recent years has further contributed to the boom in the arms trade, even as the price of goods has risen again and again.
For example, Glo/Gram 17, two years ago, it was sold here for more than 500 US dollars, and now, the purchase price has not risen, but the selling price has risen to more than 800 US dollars, so you can imagine how big the profit is.
You must know that last year, the country's per capita GDP was less than 1,000 US dollars, not to mention that there is a certain amount of moisture in GDP, even if there is no moisture, you can use this data to exchange for a gun, which is enough to explain something.
And for such a situation to occur, the Shiite armed groups have played a great role in it, and if the conflict between them and the two countries of Aled and Abdullah is not to a certain extent, Xiao Yang really doesn't want them to suffer too much blow.
The two of Aled didn't know the little Jiujiu in his heart, and they didn't think much about it at all.
"By the way, there is one thing I almost forgot, there is a lot of surplus in the accounts of the Yemeni gold mines, and if you need money, you can get it from there."
In this year, whether it is Xiao Yang or Oman, they have not paid much attention to the Yemeni gold mine, nor have they thought about dividends or anything like that, because from the beginning, they decided to talk about dividends after all the investments were made, and according to the previous speed, it should not be so quick to return to the capital, after all, they invested billions at the beginning, and the first phase of the project has only been carried out for a few years, and the cost has returned?
"It shouldn't be so fast, what's going on?" Xiao Yang and Aman both looked at Aled who was speaking, suspiciously.
On the board of directors of the company, he and Oman have names, but the actual management is in charge of Aled's people, he knows that the two usually have a lot of things, and they don't bother if they don't make any special big moves, how can the output skyrocket, the two really don't know.
"The area mined in the past few months is five times higher than the area mined before, and the amount in one month is equivalent to almost half a year in the past, do you think it's fast?"
Xiao Yang's eyes widened.
"Damn...... That's a great thing, I haven't heard of you before. ”
Aled smiled awkwardly, "Actually, the following people told me once a few months ago, but at that time I was busy with other things, and by the way, they still came according to the previous mining plan, and they forgot about it afterwards. ”
Xiao Yang looked at Abdullah, then at Aled, and asked seriously, "There won't be any problems with this, right?" ”
It's not that he's worried about any trouble for the company, but whether the two of them will cause trouble if they get such a large batch of goods.
Extra-large gold mines are different from those small gold mines, which can directly sell gold to the state or jewelry companies after mining gold, and can sell as much as they can mine
Small, but a mega-gold mine like theirs, whose monthly output is measured in tonnes, will become the focus of the World Gold Council's monitoring, because if a mega-gold mine wants to play any tricks, it is very easy to have an impact on the international gold market.
Yemen's gold mine originally mined about one ton of finished products per month, and in recent months, five times the amount of finished products mined, even if it is three months, then the original mining products have reached 15 tons.
This kind of behavior is definitely under the focus of the World Gold Council, and he doesn't want the two of them to get into trouble because of it.
And the two of them did not misunderstand his words, and smiled at him and shook his head.
"There's no problem at all, this amount is very large in some places, but in our country, it can be easily digested, don't you know that both of us have jewelry companies at home?"
The Arabs' love of gold is one of the best in the world, especially in the countries of Aled and Abdullah, Xiao Yang has had the privilege of visiting their gold market, it is hard to imagine that in other countries, ordinary people buy gold jewelry by the gram, but in their place it is different, you can often see people buy gold as a "dish" to buy.
Those large and small shop windows on the street, one piece may be a few catties or a few kilograms, this kind of business, isn't it bought and sold like a dish?
Think about it, two people divide more than a dozen tons, and they also have their own jewelry factory, it is really not a big problem.
For the Gold Council, as long as it doesn't have a market impact, they don't bother.
"That's fine." Xiao Yang glanced at Aman, exchanged a look with him, and then said to the two: "There is no need to give us the money, don't you owe it to you?" You can just take it directly, give me a number when the time comes, and I'll count the rest to you after the country is done. ”
Seeing that they were not short of money, Alade and the two were not polite, and nodded.
"By the way, do you have any gains from the mining plan?" Aman suddenly remembered something.
Speaking of this, the two of Aled were energetic, and their faces were suddenly full of smiles.
"Didn't you say that the two of us were busy this time? It was for this that the dust finally settled in Brazil after half a year, and the two of us got 25% together. ”
Twenty-five percent?
Xiao Yang smacked his tongue a few times, he knew that they would get some, but he really didn't expect to get so much, which has to make people sigh that the power of capital is really strong, you must know that there are many people involved in this matter, and it is really surprising that the two of them can get such a share.
"Congratulations."
"I'll celebrate and find a chance another day."
“……”
For a few people, Aled and the two nodded hurriedly, "It's no problem to celebrate, when you have time, how do you want to play, where do you want to go, we both please." ”
It's just a trip, and no matter where the cost is needed, it's just a drop in the bucket for the two of them this time, so they naturally agreed to it very boldly.
"Then it's decided." Xiao Yang raised his glass to the two of them and said with a smile: "Last time Zhao and rose her."
When we chatted, we said that we had time to go to Antarctica to see penguins, and the two of you just covered the fee. ”
Aman and others laughed at his extortion.
A trip to Antarctica, if it is just one person, may not cost much, but if it is a group of people, the cost is not small, for some ordinary rich people, this is not necessarily affordable, it can really be said to be a rip-off.
However, this is not a matter for the two super-rich people in Allerd, and they immediately agreed happily, saying that they would set a time and notify them when the time came.
"After this period of time has passed this year, we should not be busy, and we can accompany us at any time."
The two had a meeting tomorrow, and Xiao Yang didn't let them drink too much wine that night, and they chatted together until ten o'clock, so he urged them to go back.
On the way to the airport, Allaed told Xiao Yang another piece of news about oil.
"OPEC will recently reduce the output of member countries, and is ready to make a wave of crude oil price increases, you can do it yourself."
As an alliance of oil exporting countries, any action can affect the international price of crude oil, many times, the alliance for the benefit of the member states to make various adjustments, of course, this adjustment is not too much, but even so, once the opportunity is grasped, a small profit is certain.
Aled and Abdullah, as one of the key members of the alliance, are equal to one of the decision-makers, and it is not surprising that the news came out of their mouths in advance.
Xiao Yang nodded to indicate that he understood, "OK, I know." ”
"Then we'll go first."
"Well......" Xiao Yang waved his hand, suddenly remembered something, and stopped the two of them again: "I haven't asked you specifically about your affairs in Brazil this time, and you will sort out a copy of the details for me later." ”
"How?" The two were very puzzled, and with their understanding, Xiao Yang was not the kind of person who liked to ask about this kind of thing.
Xiao Yang thought for a while and explained: "This matter itself involves some other things, some people on the island country are not so simple, if you are too showy this time, maybe someone will target your personal safety." ”
The two of them didn't think his words were alarmist, and immediately became serious.
"This time we did it indirectly, but I'm not sure if we can really stop anyone's investigation." Aled said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yang didn't have any worries before because he didn't expect the two of them to be so ruthless, and they got twenty-five percent at once, which is quite a large amount, if the islanders track it down, they will definitely become the most obvious target, who knows if the islanders will go crazy and make assassinations or something?
The madness of this country of pirates is well known.
"The shares are all separated, right?"
"That's for sure, most of it is done through offshore companies, and now those shares are also in the name of offshore companies."
Xiao Yang nodded, "That shouldn't be a big problem, in order to be insured, you should get a copy of the information for me, if there is any problem, I will help you cover it up when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I'll have someone send it to you later." The two of them didn't have anything to be polite in front of him, and they said immediately.
