Li Tang quickly rushed back to Yanjing.

The major shareholders of Zhongcheng Mining are going to hold a board meeting again.

Since last year, coal prices have continued to soar, and the coal quality is slightly good. The thermal coal per ton is basically above 270 yuan, and the price of high-quality coking coal is even higher, reaching the 400 yuan mark.

As a major industrial country, although China has rich coal resources, it still imports some high-quality coking coal from Austria, Nanfei and other places, and also imports tens of millions of tons of each year.

Moreover, as the demand for steel becomes stronger, the import volume is also increasing.

"When I went to Kulun City two days ago, Bayar, Minister of Industry and Trade of Mengguo, came to talk to me and invited me to have a meal of stewed lamb."

Qin Jianshe’s work has been going well recently and he is in a very comfortable mood. Before the meeting, he talked about his daily life in Mengguo: “Bayal took two sips of the spirits and started complaining to me.”

"What's the hard thing happening to them again?" someone said curiously.

"It's not a difficult thing, it's about the Talego coal mine."

"What's wrong?"

Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears. After all, the Talego coal mine is related to everyone's personal interests.

If something happens to Mengguo again, it will not be good if it affects the construction of the project.

"The Mengguo Parliament was quarreling a lot a while ago, and the troops on several sides were red-faced. Some even wanted to box in the parliament. If someone hadn't pulled him, he would have really started to do it."

Qin Jianshe did not pause for too long and continued to say: "Since we signed a cooperative development agreement and they used Talego Coal Mine to invest in Nanhuang Resources Company, the international coal mine prices have been rising steadily. The coal mine rights, which used to seemingly did not have much mining value, have now been transformed into fragrant steamed buns..."

"The current coal price, with the reserves of more than 6 billion tons of Talego Coal Mine, there are about 1.8 billion tons of high-quality coking coal, which is not just a simple bun, but a mountain of gold and silver!"

"Now, coal mining can make money with your eyes closed. If you go to Sanjin Province or go inside and take a look, the owners of the small coal mines are laughing from ear to ear. Some people are holding bags of cash and guarding next to the coal mine cave. As long as there is a coal mine coming out, they will definitely buy it with money."

"Iron ore and coal prices soar, which is closely related. The strong demand for steel is, on the one hand, supported by the above policies, and on the other hand, it is indeed a market choice."

"Why do you suddenly feel that the coal industry is more fragrant than the copper industry!"

"Shenxia Group is about to make a fortune. Half of our top ten coal mines in China belong to Shenxia Group. This is really a big money with your eyes closed."

Speaking of coal, it immediately aroused everyone's enthusiasm for discussion.

Li Xingchao sat aside, drinking tea, and felt very happy.

In the past two years, the major coal mines under its jurisdiction have made money like water.

Enterprises that used to survive by relying on government subsidies have now transformed into major taxpayers in various places.

This change in identity is really sudden and caught people off guard.

Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, is Shenxia Group really going to become a nouveau riche?

With more money in hand, more things can be done and more ideas.

He even wanted to take down the operating rights of the Talego Coal Mine and independently develop it by Shenxia Group.

They have the financial strength, the technology and experience to develop a coal mine with an annual output of more than 50 million tons.

Especially the coking coal in Talego Coal Mine is really tempting.

It was like a plump beauty wrapped in transparent gauze, with white skin and graceful and noble lying there, letting you pick the drama.

"Is someone in the Mengguo Parliament jumped out to cause trouble again?" he asked.

"The contract has been signed, and they cannot let them go back on their word." Qin Jianshe was confident and did not panic at all: "That is, some MPs felt that such a large coal mine rights were worth hundreds of billions of magnesium, and they just gave them this way. They felt that they were at a disadvantage, so they started arguing. The MPs who opposed cooperation with us were now proud and criticized the camp that had previously advocated cooperation in the parliament. Everyone knows that the country has a small population, but many parties, and they are quarreling every day."

"Don't worry about how they argue, as long as it doesn't affect the progress of the project, then there's no problem."

"Now that the contract is signed, no one can allow those clowns to come out and scream. We invest real money to build mines and railways. If someone comes out to cause damage, they have to think clearly!"

"Talego copper and gold mines and coal mines are not just for sale now. The eyes on them are always staring at them. The development of these two mining rights cannot be lost!"

While chatting, Li Tang walked in.

Everyone was here, and he was not allowed to take the seat.

Everyone's eyes moved with Li Tang's footsteps.

The conference room left him the middle seat, and he did not hesitate and sat directly at the upper seat.

Niu Fu glanced at Li Tang and found that the boy was getting more and more good at showing off recently, but he didn't say anything else, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is here."

"I haven't paid attention to the situation of the Talego project for a long time. I just read the information, so I'm late." Li Tang took the initiative to explain.

"The time is just right." Chen Jinghe expressed his understanding.

There was no opening remark, Niu Fu said first: "Since this year, the rapid growth of international copper mine demand and low supply have caused the gradual expansion of the copper metal gap. At present, the international futures price is basically stable above 3,000 magnesium yuan, and the highest value exceeds 3,100 magnesium yuan."

He looked at the shareholder representatives, corporate leaders, and many of them were top figures in the copper industry. They all understood the market, but still explained: "From our domestic copper industry, our strong growth in demand for copper metals has driven the development of the global copper industry."

"Our growth intensity is indeed far higher than the international growth rate." Chen Jingheshen agreed.

"No matter whether it is international or domestic copper metal prices, from the perspective of national construction and national affairs, we copper mine enterprises should shoulder more historical missions! We must keep a close eye on the copper mine production link and cannot drag down the overall economic construction!"

Niu Fu's voice was loud and powerful, and he was able to save the situation: "Whether it is the Nonferrous Metals Association or the relevant competent authorities, they all gave us high hopes and clearly stated that the development of the Talego copper and gold mine is very necessary!"

Li Tang's ears buzzed when he heard this.

This lot of nonsense demonstrates Niu Fu's speaking skills and is worthy of being the general manager of Wugang Group.

Ordinary private business owners would not say such things.

After finishing his opening remarks, Qin Jianshe began to discuss the formal topic: "In the first half of the year, all shareholders sent representatives here to understand the progress of the project design changes in real time. Li Tang often went abroad during this period, but few participants became working."

He glanced at Li Tang and explained specifically: "The total budget of the previous project construction plan was 15 billion. However, because we obtained the coal mining rights, whether it was developed at the same time or there was a sequence, we must reserve enough space to prepare for coal mining. Based on this consideration, we must expand the construction scale. The total installed capacity of the power plant must be doubled, the transmission volume of the water pipeline must also be doubled, and the railway must also consider taking on the transportation tasks of the two mines..."

He said a lot, and then concluded with Li Tang: "The total budget has expanded from the previous 15 billion yuan to 28 billion yuan."

"I know." Li Tang nodded.

Everyone has already known this decision in advance.

"Now, everyone needs to make a vote for the revision of the total project budget." Qin Jianshe knew about this matter, but the key was Li Tang's attitude.

Li Tang Shengshi Holdings Company now has only 17% stake in Zhongcheng Mining, but Li Tang still has 34% of the voting rights and can still veto the key resolution.

"I agree!"

Li Tang spoke first, and also raised questions: "In addition to the funds raised by shareholders and the 5 billion yuan loans, the total amount is 15 billion yuan. How to solve the remaining 13 billion yuan gap?"

This is the key to the problem.

If this 13 billion yuan of funds still requires the investment of shareholders of various state-owned enterprises, it means that Li Tang's shareholding in Zhongcheng Mining will continue to be diluted.

It is obvious that all shareholders want to do this, because everyone has really had a lot of cash in their hands over the past two years.

There is a good project that can spend the surplus funds, and the spending is valuable.

Who doesn't want to take more shares?

Everyone knows that the Talego copper and coal mine are two hens that lay golden eggs!

Li Xingchao suddenly raised his hand: "I have an idea. I haven't mentioned it to everyone before. It just so happened that Li Tang is here too today. I'll discuss it with everyone."

"What do you think, Mr. Li?" Li Tang turned his eyes.

"The project funding needs to be raised by 13 billion yuan, and there is no practical financing plan yet."

Li Xing glanced around and smiled: "This is my idea. We Shenxia Group will find a way to find this money."

This kind of big-minded attitude doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Instead of being too happy, everyone was a little alert.

"Mr. Li is rich and arrogant, but you are so generous, which really makes us feel uneasy and have no conscience." Feng Sinian from Jiujiang Copper Industry spoke.

He also wanted to invest all the remaining 13 billion yuan, which would increase at least 30% of Zhongcheng Mining shares.

Becoming the largest shareholder of Zhongcheng Mining and becoming the first person, I am afraid everyone present has this idea!

"This is my idea. Our Shenxia Group is professional in coal mining."

Li Xingchao had already made up his mind: "The development of Talego Coal Mine and future operations require a professional and experienced team. We have ready-made ones. My idea is very simple. This additional investment of 13 billion yuan will be considered by our Shenxia Group. As a condition, our Shenxia Group will obtain the right to operate coal."

"I'll give you all the coal mining rights?"

"Of course it's not for nothing. We will pay a large amount of franchise to Nanhuang Resources Company on a regular basis." Li Xingchao smiled and thought it was quite wonderful: "According to the annual coal mine sales, the 3% fee of the total sales of Nanhuang Resources Company is given as the franchise fee!"

“3%?”

"Mr. Li's idea is really unique."

"If we do this, we will save trouble and wait for money."

"We are not without the ability to develop coal mining rights."

Everyone was smiling on the surface, but in fact they were already cursing in their hearts.

This Li Xingchao thought beautifully.

However, everyone is very clear, what if Li Tang insists on agreeing with Li Xingchao’s suggestions?

Everyone here knows that Li Xingchao is Li Tang's father-in-law, and it is not a matter of course to help his family.

Moreover, Li Tang had a very strong voice. Without his cooperation, many resolutions could not be passed smoothly.

So, everyone turned their attention to Li Tang.
To be continued...
