Chapter 1424: A Little Trouble Falls from the Sky
Spend the day wandering around the Oyu Tolgoi mine, listening to experts and technicians discuss mining.
In the past few years, Han Xuan will continue to invest more than two billion dollars in this mining area for construction, during which there is likely to be no half-dime profit, although I believe in Isabelle, but after all, it is Mr. Peraret who is in charge of this business, there is nothing wrong with being careful, at least to figure out where his money will be used.
Two important capital investment projects, namely the excavation of underground tunnels and the laying of railways, in addition to power plants, processing plants, equipment procurement, etc., also have to spend a lot of money, carefully calculated, the previously estimated total investment of 3.5 billion US dollars is likely to be insufficient, take a step by step.
Funding is not the main problem, the problem is that it needs to negotiate with Mongolia and China, and the Republic of Mongolia is very easy to deal with, since I know that the president's wife likes all kinds of jewelry and dollar bills, everything is not a problem, and various policies are given the green light.
A few days ago, at the National Palace in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, there were two talks with key high-level officials of the country, and if Han Xuan's talk to them leaked out, it would definitely cause an uproar, because he was talking about how much they could benefit from the project, not how much the country would get from.
Mongolia's commercial taxes were not high, and when Han Xuan came back with a twenty-year-long agreement to halve taxes, even Mr. Peraray was impressed with him, wondering how the government could agree to such a ridiculous agreement.
As a Chinese, Han Xuan seems to have been born with how to give gifts, and the total amount of anonymous accounts in the first bank of the Maldives is only 13.5 million US dollars, and the value that these tax reduction policies can create is as high as more than one billion US dollars.
Even if the government has an extra billion dollars in the treasury, it is the state's money, and the more than 10 million dollars are divided among several people, and each person can get two or three million dollars, which is their own money.
Anyone who understands the account will calculate, don't think that Mongolian men who ride horses and eat mutton all day long are all tendons, they are bad when they are bad.
Originally, Han Xuan thought that one person could send it away with 500,000 US dollars, but after he didn't expect to say it, all of them were in the lion's mouth, one more ruthless than the other.
After two or three years, the surface of the mining area can be mined, and when the surface cannot be excavated until it is transferred underground, the railway and the power plant are not troublesome, and after talking to the big boss on the phone, they are all solved, and the real trouble is the problem of sales.
After discussing with Perare, Han Xuan felt that he was not in a hurry to negotiate this for the time being, as the development speed of China increased, it would inevitably lead to a shortage of copper, and then the status would change from a buyer's market to a seller's market, so as to earn more profits from it.
Talking about it now is destined to be slaughtered, because the neighboring countries are not short of copper ore for the time being, not to mention that even if they negotiate now, there is no goods to sell to them at present, so there is no hurry to ......
It's early April.
Recently, it has been rainy in Mongolia, and the temperature has gradually risen and warmed up, just when Han Xuan thought that the comfortable days were coming, cold air suddenly hit yesterday, causing a wide range of cooling and snowfall, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of white.
Isabelle fell ill, but it wasn't serious, she had been on bed rest for the past two days, reading books or something, and at this moment Han Xuan was beside her bedside, helping to make milk tea to supplement her nutrition.
Like most Westerners, Isabelle does not like to take pills, or prefers to rely on immunity to recover when her illness is not too serious, so as to avoid overdose on antibiotics and cause a decline in physical fitness.
Before the heating system had even begun, the charcoal fire in the stove in the center of the room was blazing, and the smoke was exhausting through the pipes, blackening the snow on the ground outside the room.
Handing the cup to Isabelle, Han Xuan asked her, "When are you going to leave?"
The matter is probably over, and the first Kirin car will be delivered to the customer in the near future, and I am ready to go there myself.
If you're going to England, I can send you off and fly west back to the United States, and you'll be able to see Anya on the way. ”
"Okay, I can go anytime." Isabelli put down the paper and looked up.
There was a knock on the door at the moment.
Secretary Dawson shouted through the door, "Little boss, someone has come to look for you, the Mongolian man who sold horses." ”
When Han Xuan heard this, he immediately remembered that he went to the horse market in the town last week and asked someone to help buy a horse.
After a few quick steps to unscrew the door, he asked Dawson, "Where, where is the horse?" ”
"No, he didn't bring the horse ......"
After meeting the horse dealer Altan Khan, they got in the car and left together to go to Khan Boged County.
The reason why Han Xuan was so excited was because this time he was going to buy a few Akhal-Teke horses, which were called sweat-and-blood horses in ancient times.
The skin of this kind of horse is relatively thin, and the blood vessels are dilated when running, as if it is like blood and sweat, and now the number is only about 2,000, and it is not listed as an endangered species in Turkmenistan.
In the stable, five emaciated adult horses were seen, two of them were beautiful gold, and the other were black white hoof, white, and jujube.
The deposit alone is 100,000 US dollars, and it costs a lot of money, so these are all young and strong good horses, Han Xuan is quite satisfied with them, two males and three females, and they can also breed, and there are racetracks in Snow Mountain Ranch and Ganbao Marine Ranch, which can be raised wherever they are placed......
"Altan Khan, have the horses' hooves been nailed? Bring one out and let me try it. ”
Han Xuan stretched out his hand and stroked the several horses that gathered around, they were relatively tall, their bodies were thin and vigorous, no wonder the ancient generals didn't like this kind of horse, they didn't look majestic, and their weight-bearing ability was not outstanding.
During his time in Mongolia, he had already learned Mongolian, and his daily conversation was not a problem, and when he went to talk to the officials, he didn't even bring a translator.
"They were all domesticated from a young age, and I personally picked the horses.
The horses' hooves have long been nailed, there is snow on the road, you can be careful and try it, wait, I'll go get the saddle......"
I picked a quick-witted golden Akhalje horse, saddled it and rode it.
Seeing Han Xuan's riding posture, Altan Khan knew that he was also a veteran, and he was slightly surprised that the horse cooperated with him so well.
After negotiating a horse for $40,000, Secretary Dawson handed him the rest of the final payment, and then called someone to arrange for them to transport these horses to the United States......
