The matter on the Congo side has not yet been decided, and the two did not talk about too specific things, anyway, when the time comes, they will have their own people to do it, and Xiao Yang did not go directly to the Congo when he left the country, but went back to Somalia first and picked up Zhao Nan and Zhang Zijian.

Before going to Congo, he didn't know what would happen, so he didn't tell them about the copper mine, and when the exploration team was dispatched later, he made a phone call, and the two didn't know much about it.

was hurriedly pulled onto the plane, and as soon as he took off, Zhao Nan asked: "What is the situation, you tell me." ”

Glancing at Zhang Zijian next to him, Xiao Yang lay down in his seat and began to explain to the two.

“…… That's basically the case, in addition to the upfront investment, I have to come up with about 200 million to 300 million US dollars to pay them in advance. ”

After hearing this, both of them frowned.

Don't look at the fact that they now have a few high-quality mines in their hands, and the two gem mines have also been produced, but they don't have much spare money in their hands, a large part of the money from Hu Haiyun and those two hands has been used to repay the loan, and the other part has been invested in the iron ore in Guinea, and there is not much liquidity left in the company at all.

"There are some problems with funding, how do you solve them?" Zhao Nan quickly asked.

"I have little money to use over there, and I can take out a little, and I borrowed 500 million US dollars from Li Zhiwei this time, which should be enough for early development."

Zhao Nan glanced at Zhang Zijian, and then asked: "These funds should be used as loans?" ”

Xiao Yang noticed her movements and immediately understood what she meant.

These funds were obtained by him personally, and if they are used for the company, then there will be financial problems, is it a capital increase? Or borrowing?

In the case of a capital increase, other shareholders also have to increase their investment in proportion, and if you don't have money, you can only dilute the shares, which is very common in business, and is used when a shareholder of the company wants to take control or let some shareholders leave the company.

Zhao Nan definitely didn't care about the issue of shares, and his question could be said to be completely for Zhang Zijian and Yun Miao.

Before they merged, these two people were the majority shareholders of the company, but after the merger, the shares were diluted a lot, and if they were diluted again, even if they didn't say anything, they would definitely have opinions in their hearts.

"Of course not." Looking at Zhang Zijian's slightly apprehensive look, Xiao Yang shook his head.

He is now an absolute controlling shareholder, and he doesn't care much about these in the first place, and the establishment of a mining company is completely for Zhao Nan, how can he do something about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Hearing this, Zhang Zijian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm really afraid that you will say that you want to increase capital, if you really want to do that, my shares can only be diluted." ”

He was honest and did not shy away from saying his previous thoughts.

"Haha......" Xiao Yang laughed, "You, you don't trust me, don't worry, we are also old friends, you helped Nan Nan so much at the beginning, how could I cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”

…………

Arriving in Kinshasa, the preliminary results of exploration just came out, and Xiao Yang got the results in his hands as soon as possible.

There is basically no difference from the results of previous exploration, but the leader of the exploration team also reflected a situation, two-thirds of the entire mining area can basically be open-pit mining, but the remaining one-third is located dozens of meters underground, and the mining cost is estimated to be relatively high.

One-third is about two million tons, such a large amount, it is impossible to give up at will, so Xiao Yang asked him: "Is there any value in mining?" ”

The captain of the exploration team has only seen Xiao Yang a few times, and he doesn't know his true identity, and he doesn't know how to answer when he asks such a question.

Any mining area, as long as the storage is enough, the content is enough, it has mining value, most of the Congo's copper ore is a high copper content ore, according to the economic value, there is no no worthwhile mining.

The reason why he said that the mining cost is high is relative to other mines.

He thought that it was impossible for Xiao Yang not to know the situation in the entire mining area, and of course he was surprised by the question he asked.

Zhao Nan couldn't explain to the people below whether Xiao Yang was actually worth the type of mining that was limited to mineral deposits, so they immediately sent him away, and then explained to Xiao Yang: "He said that the cost is high, which is relative to open-pit mining, and according to the information provided, the cost has not reached a very high level, which is completely acceptable." ”

"Oh."

Now that the exploration results have come out, there must be a result of the cooperation with the government, immediately, Xiao Yang and Li Zhiwei made a phone call and told him about the matter, "This is the way it is, if you choose to cooperate with the government, the speed of negotiation will definitely be fast, and there will be certain preferential treatment in terms of taxation in the future, if it is wholly-owned now, then there will definitely be no preferential tax treatment, and we must also make additional investment, but in terms of other treatment, it will definitely not be worse than other mining companies, if there is time, Why don't you come over? ”

Li Zhiwei didn't say that he wanted to come over, nor did he give Xiao Yang an answer first, but asked him, "What do you think?" ”

"The previous idea was to buy out, because I don't like trouble very much, and a shareholder must have less to do, but these days I have also carefully considered, the mining area is impossible to move, then it is inevitable to have a relationship with this, I am not worried about the big trouble, but worried that the little people will come to find trouble, if there is their government as a shareholder, it is estimated that there will be less trouble."

Li Zhiwei pondered for a while, "To be honest, I don't have much interest in management or anything, as long as my investment has a return, so I don't care much about how to operate, and I don't have to go over, you can do it, I believe in your vision." ”

"Hehe......" I didn't expect him to have this attitude, Xiao Yang chuckled twice, communicated a few times, and also had some understanding of him, without hypocritical persuasion, "Actually, I don't want to care about these things, just catch the ducks on the shelves, and the specific things will be handed over to Zhao Nan and them, so be it, I'll inform you when I have the result." ”

"Okay, no problem."

After discussing with Zhao Nan, Zhang Zijian, Oliveira and others, they all chose to give a part of the shares to the Congolese government, according to them, one is to reduce trouble and strive for more favorable profits and taxes, and the other is that they can invest less money.

So, the next day, he met with Makara and told him that they had agreed to the Congolese government's offer of cooperation.

Kabila was indeed very sincere, and when Makara told him the news, he instructed Makara that their government only needed no less than five percent of the shares, much to the satisfaction of Xiao Yang, who had been relayed.

According to the market capitalization, five percent of the shares are worth a maximum of $500 million, and the value of the arms will not exceed $800 million.
