Chapter 133: Cooperation with Li Zhiwei
Xiao Yang was not worried about getting things at all, but the business was not successful, and before Kabila, no matter what happened to the copper mine in the end, they had bought these arms.
He believed in Kabila's personality and believed that no one would play tricks on him.
What's more, whether it's rocket artillery or tanks, it's not like he can send it if he says it's coming. Not to mention maintenance, refurbishment or anything, it is estimated that it will take more than half a month just to get those things from the warehouse to the port and then load them on the ship.
With this time, they have already negotiated on their side, and even if there is any accident, it will be too late to interrupt it at that time.
Makara, of course, wished that Xiao Yang had started preparing earlier, and hurriedly said that if Xiao Yang agreed to their plan, they would minimize their state-owned shares, and they would also give more preferential taxes than other multinational mining companies.
For a mining area hundreds of kilometers long, the exploration work can not be completed in three or two days, such as rocket artillery, armored vehicles and other big guys, not to say that they are sold and left alone, repairs, daily maintenance, and ammunition supply in the later stage are quite cumbersome, Xiao Yang felt the need to return to China to talk to Zhao Qingfeng, taking advantage of the fact that the exploration results would not come out all of a sudden, he said to Kabila, left Congo, and flew to China.
"You don't have to bother with these problems at all." Zhao Qingfeng was familiar with this, and felt that Xiao Yang paid too much attention to it, "You are used to black market business, in fact, formal transactions are just as simple, before the formal negotiation, I will give you a detailed document, you just follow the above, and we will take care of the rest." ”
Last time on the Turkish side, it was the Turkish side that took the initiative to seek, he just brought the documents to play with them, and he didn't realize how troublesome it was at the beginning, Zhao Qingfeng said this, he felt that it really made sense.
"Okay, I'll leave it at that, remember to give me the details before I leave."
When he came back this time, he had another matter, leaving Zhao Qingfeng and their company, he immediately dialed Li Zhiwei's phone.
"Do you have time? Meet in person. On the phone, he said directly to Li Zhiwei.
"Ah......" Li Zhiwei knew when he left the country, but he didn't know that he was back again, "You're back?" How about going to the courtyard? ”
Xiao Yang still remembered the tea he drank in the courtyard last time, and immediately agreed, "Okay, don't forget to make that tea last time." ”
Li Zhiwei knows a lot of people and has a lot of friends, but Xiao Yang is the first person who is so straightforward in front of him, he said with a wry smile: "You really don't treat yourself as an outsider, then I will only have two taels of tea, drink a little less." ”
Xiao Yang despised his stinginess very much, "Isn't the tea just for drinking?" Do you want to put it away and wait for him to grow mold? ”
"Well, I can't tell you ......"
When we arrived at the courtyard, the water was boiled, and we sat down on the rattan chair, and without him opening my mouth, the beautiful tea master began to perform her tea art with a pleasant heart.
Xiao Yang has never paid much attention to those so-called techniques, for him, as long as the tea leaves taste good, after drinking a cup of tea in silence, he waved his hand to let the tea master leave.
Looking at his actions, Li Zhiwei was a little amused, "You are against the guest." ”
Xiao Yang smiled and quickly became serious.
"There is a business looking for you to cooperate, and you want to find a way to prepare 1 billion, not RMB, but US dollars, of which 500 million is your capital, and the other 500 million is borrowed from me, no problem."
If others speak in a tone like him, even if this business can make 10 billion, Li Zhiwei will promise to drive people out immediately, but it is him, Li Zhiwei does not look angry at all, and is as serious as him, "The money is no problem, it can be withdrawn at any time." ”
"Hmm."
Li Zhiwei's reaction was not unexpected by Xiao Yang, he nodded in response before explaining to him:
"I came back last time and got some rags, and after I went back, I found a buyer, that is, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, their government is poor, so I asked them to pay the bill with minerals, the undeveloped copper mine in the east knows, I am talking to them now, the most basic problem is almost discussed, the company is expanding too fast, so I found you."
The reason why he agreed to pay a billion US dollars without knowing any business was because Li Zhiwei believed in Xiao Yang's personality, and he knew that this business would definitely not be small, but he didn't expect it to be the only undeveloped copper mine in the DRC.
This mine is the same as the iron mine in Guinea, how many large multinational mining companies have come up with the idea?
He gave Xiao Yang a thumbs up excitedly, "You're still amazing, as long as you make a move, you're a big deal." ”
In fact, for Xiao Yang, he really doesn't have such an idea, his understanding of mining is only limited to the two points that there are more reserves and the type of minerals must be valuable.
At the beginning, the iron ore mine in Guinea was mainly because of Oliveira's idea, but now in the DRC, on the one hand, there is no choice: large mining areas in Africa are generally occupied by international mining giants such as Tamsui River, Rio Tinto or Anglo American, BHP Billiton, and there are not many options for him.
Second, it was also because of the relationship with Makara and Kabila that I had this choice.
Listening to Li Zhiwei's praise, he shook his head with a wry smile: "What is this big deal, it is a choice that has no choice at all, after going back last time, I collected all the relevant information on the mineral deposits of the African continent, and I looked at it for several days, and found that the large mining areas were basically taken by those mining giants." ”
Speaking of this issue, Li Zhiwei has the same helplessness as him.
sighed, "Alas, there is no way, this situation is not caused by a certain factor, the Chinese people's vision is not long-term enough, and the situation of the country is also related to ......"
Xiao Yang didn't know it before, but the longer he got in touch with this aspect, he realized that those international giants had begun to lay out decades ago, and compared with China, which has only begun to pay attention to this point in recent years, there is really a world of difference between the two.
"In some ways, the Chinese should really admit that they are inferior to others, just like the old United States, they fought Afghanistan and Iraq, provoked the Syrian civil war, and supported puppet governments one after another. The Middle East accounts for two-thirds of the world's oil reserves, and oil is a resource that runs out of resources, and once they control the whole Middle East, what will happen when they think about it? ”
Xiao Yang's statement did not start with him, Li Zhiwei had naturally heard of it a long time ago, and he felt the same way, "Yes, someone once told me that the United States has waged several wars in the Middle East and spent hundreds of billions without seeing any benefits, which is really a waste, and I just smiled and didn't say anything at that time." How can people like them see what will happen in 50 or 100 years? ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yang didn't want to continue on this topic for more, "What do you think if I want to make the mining company bigger, what are the ways out?" ”
Li Zhiwei didn't expect Xiao Yang's topic to change so quickly, nor did he expect him to ask himself such a question.
Although he doesn't really have a mining company of his own, his investments in the mining industry make up a large part of his business, and the two will probably be rivals technically.
"You're really embarrassing me." After a pause, he said with a wry smile, "I invest in mining, and you are also engaged in mining, how can we be regarded as opponents, if you ask me such a question now, isn't it possible for me to make trouble for myself?" ”
"Hmph...... Just say it or not. Xiao Yang didn't pay attention to his words.
"You're an uncle, okay!" Seeing him look like such a scoundrel, Li Zhiwei could only retreat.
"As you said, now that the layout of these international giants in the world has been basically completed, it is quite difficult for a new mining company to enter the world-class level, and I personally think there are two paths: first; Acquire a stake in certain mining industries to get small and big, provided you have sufficient funds to support it. Second; That's the path you're on now, to find a way to pocket the big mines that are still being developed so far......"
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't mean to see Xiao Yang as an opponent at all, so he spoke as best he knew.
Hearing his so-called two paths, Xiao Yang was silent.
The reason for the development of the mining company is to promise Zhao Nan that these two roads, no matter which one, are not so easy to follow.
Enough funds, he obviously doesn't have them for the time being, don't look at him as if he is very rich now, but these money are either in arms companies or mining companies, and this money really doesn't play much role compared to a slightly larger mining area shares that are hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
As for the next day, don't look at him walking quite steadily now, but in fact......
You know, there are a lot of undeveloped large mining areas in the world, but not all of them are in Africa, he can settle in Africa, but when it comes to the Americas and Europe, only God knows how many people will sell his face.
"Don't you find it difficult?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Zhiwei could probably guess his thoughts, "It's normal to be difficult, companies like Mitsui & Co. and Rio Tinto, which one has not been deployed for decades?" How long has your company been in existence? It's been less than half a year, and it's been such a scale in such a little time, and what will be the situation in three or five years, maybe you can't even think of it yourself, as long as you keep going, and wait until some time when you look back, you will know that you are far, far away from the starting point......"
I have to say that Li Zhiwei's eloquence is really good, and after saying this, Xiao Yang immediately relaxed.
Yes, today I don't know what will happen tomorrow, as long as I follow my own ideas, who knows if there will be an opportunity tomorrow?
