Inherit For Three Thousand Years

"Mr. Xiao does not need to thank me. As you said, it is your luck to be able to explore gold mines. This farm has been in my hands for decades, and I have also explored the oil and gas resources on the farm, but But I didn't find this gold mine. Obviously, this is because my luck is not good enough, and you are deeply favored by God. For this, I only have envy in my heart."

Although Ebson was full of jealousy, he would never say it.

"The gold mine explored is an unprecedented high-quality rich mine, and the cost of mining is extremely low. Such a gold mine that is about to create great economic benefits is a piece of fat for any mining group. As Gattuso Mining The chairman of the group, isn't Mr. Ebson interested in this gold mine?" Xiao Yao asked straightforwardly.

"Of course I'm interested, but the funds that our Gattuso Mining Group can provide are limited, and we can spend up to 5 billion US dollars to purchase this gold mine under your name. If Mr. Xiao can accept this price, Then I can't ask for it." Ebson said with a smile on his mouth.

Xiao Yao had guessed that Ebson's appetite must be great, but he didn't expect Ebson to be so black-hearted that he wanted to swallow half of his benefits directly.

"Surely Mr. Ebson has heard about the reserves discovered by this gold mine? At current market prices, the total value of gold, copper, iron and other minerals in the gold mine has reached 24 billion U.S. dollars. You only Given the receiving price of 5 billion US dollars, don't you think it is too low?" Xiao Yao asked calmly.

"I think this price is quite appropriate, and it can even be said to be a bit high. Although the total value of all minerals has reached 24 billion U.S. dollars, we still have to consider mining costs, taxes and mining time. Even if everything goes well, all minerals should be It will take seven or eight years to mine it out. If the US$5 billion is used for investment, even with 10% of the annual profit, it will be worth nearly US$10 billion in 8 years. So, I think the US$5 billion The price is fair." Ebson is plausible.

"From your point of view, the lower the price for acquiring gold mines, the better, I can understand this. However, there are limits to low prices. There is no basis for giving an ultra-low price. This can only make I question the professionalism of Gattuso Mining Group.

Although the evaluation value given by the third-party evaluation company will not be the final transaction price, it also has a high reference value. The evaluation price given by the third-party evaluation company for the Qianniao Lake Gold Mine is between 9.8 billion and 11 billion.

For this price, other mining groups including BHP Billiton are recognized, but you, Mr. Ebson, offered a price of 5 billion U.S. dollars, which really surprised me.

Based on the relationship between our two parties, I thought you would give a high price. I didn't expect you to offer an unbelievably low price. You gave me a new understanding of the Ebson family. "Xiao Yao said, staring into Ebson's eyes.

Faced with Xiao Yao's sardonic gaze, Ebson's gaze was slightly dodging, and he did not dare to face him squarely.

The price of 5 billion was negotiated in advance by Ebson and Jeff. Jeff was worried that his father would make concessions because of face. He interrupted in time and said: "Mr. Xiao, I don’t know if you have heard of it, the state assembly will soon With the introduction of animal protection regulations, Qiandiao Lake Farm has a large number of wild animals and wild birds, and gold mining is bound to be restricted.

After this policy is officially promulgated, the farm’s gold mine may not be able to be mined at all. Even if it can be mined smoothly, it is likely to be restricted in scale. Once the mining scale is restricted, the mining time will inevitably be greatly extended. If our Gattuso Mining Group's early investment is too large, it is likely that the gains will not be worth the loss.

We in the Ebson family are very grateful to Mr. Xiao for his life-saving grace. From my personal point of view, I am willing to accept Mr. Xiao’s gold mine at the highest price assessed by a third-party appraisal company.

However, the Gattuso Mining Group is not unique to our Ebson family. Our shareholding is now less than 20%. Although our Ebson family has a certain influence in the company, it is still unable to control the resolutions of the board of directors. . What we can do is to implement the final decision of the board of directors. Please understand Mr. Xiao for this. "Jeff's attitude seems to be sincere, but what he said is hypocritical.

Xiao Yao said firmly: "I can tell you clearly that I will definitely not accept this price. Swire is not a vegetarian, and it is absolutely impossible to accept this humiliating price. You have the ability to introduce animal protection regulations, and we also have it. Ability to prevent the promulgation of animal protection regulations. You have to think carefully, once I decide to cooperate with other mining companies, what will Gattuso Mining Group lose?"

After all, the Ebson family is the top family of the established brands. Even if it is now declining, it still has a very strong positive intellectual influence in Texas. If it is a purely economic contest, Ebson does not have enough confidence, but when it comes to Zhengzhi, Ebson has full confidence.

Ebson knows that Swire Investments has a great influence in China, but he also firmly believes that in Texas, whether it is Swire Investments or large mining groups such as BHP Billiton, it is impossible to be here. To compete with him.

He also knows that Xiao Yao will never accept the figure of 5 billion US dollars. If he continues to negotiate, he will certainly make concessions, but the extent of the concessions will never be large.

Ebson pretended to think for a moment, and said: "Mr. Xiao is Jeff's lifesaver after all. We, the Ebson family, will never forget this kindness. Then, I can promise Mr. Xiao that we can re-purchase the price. An increase of 500 million yuan, or 5.5 billion U.S. dollars, after I return, I will convene the board of directors to discuss again. But this is the biggest concession I can make. I hope Mr. Xiao can understand my difficulties."

Occupying the local advantage, Ebson felt that he had taken Xiao Yao, but unfortunately he didn’t understand Xiao Yao’s character at all, let alone his abilities. If he knew something about it, he wouldn’t dare to repeat it. It touched Xiao Yao's bottom line this time.

"Looking at adding 500 million US dollars to my face, I really have a lot of face! Xiao Yao dare not ask for such a big face, and I won't want it."

Xiao Yao's tone suddenly became cold. It was obviously summer, but it felt like the cold winter wind was blowing on his face. Ebson and Jeff couldn't help but shiver.
