This jade mine has been mined for almost two years, and the British company still wants to acquire it. It seems that they have put in a lot of effort, and if Hu Rong can rush here in a hurry, the price must not be low.
"Two billion!" Hu Rong said a number.
"Two billion?" Zhuang Rui raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
To be honest, according to Zhuang Rui's previous survey, the value of this jadeite mine is about two billion US dollars. Moreover, the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes had not been upgraded at that time, so he could not see further. He did not know whether it contained any
More jade veins?
In two years, a total of only 700 million U.S. dollars worth of jadeite was developed, and there was at least more than 1 billion U.S. dollars of jadeite rough left. If the British company was only willing to offer 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, Zhuang Rui would not agree to sell it.
of.
"It's 1.2 billion pounds..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui frown, Hu Rong added next to him.
"Damn, didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhuang Rui glanced at Hu Rong dissatisfied, how can the British pound be compared with the U.S. dollar? 1.2 billion pounds is almost 156 billion RMB, and 1.2 billion U.S. dollars is less than 10 billion. There is a big difference.
Already.
"You didn't ask either?"
Hu Rong laughed. He just wanted to see Zhuang Rui's reaction when he heard the word "pound", but Zhuang Rui disappointed him. He didn't seem particularly excited when he heard the word "pound".
In fact, Zhuang Rui was still a little shocked. He originally thought that he was quite rich, but he didn't expect that these foreign resource giants would spend tens of billions of RMB in one move. Compared with them, his own assets were nothing.
I had the nerve to say it out loud.
"Our prediction is that this mine is worth about 2 billion US dollars. If the other party is really willing to pay 1.2 billion pounds, then it can be considered..."
Zhuang Rui thought about it and said: "Brother Hu, after receiving their quotation, you should have re-evaluated the mine, right? What is the result of the evaluation?"
Whenever such a cross-border acquisition involves huge amounts of money, both parties are more cautious and each will send out an evaluation company to evaluate the resources of the mine. That's why Zhuang Rui asked this question.
"I hired a well-known mineral appraisal consulting company in Germany to evaluate it. Their evaluation results are not much different from the British bid, so I'm here to ask for your opinion..."
Hu Rong is a little confused now. From a profit perspective, selling the jade mine can reduce many intermediate links and worker expenses, which will undoubtedly maximize profits.
But selling this jade mine will not be of any benefit to Hu's development in Myanmar.
Because although Hu's has seven or eight mines in Myanmar, those mines are declining and are almost exhausted. Only this jade mine is currently Hu's most profitable and largest mine. If it is sold,
If so, it means that Hu will withdraw from the competition in Myanmar's mineral resources industry.
So Hu Rong has always been unable to make a decision. Behind him is not only the Hu family, but also the entire Chinese town that has been attached to the Hu family for hundreds of years. Almost all the Chinese living in it rely on mining to make a living. If the mine is sold, it will be
A single move can affect the whole body, so he can't help but be cautious.
There was nothing that couldn't be said between Hu Rong and Zhuang Rui. He immediately expressed all his thoughts. Although Zhuang Rui was young, he had a deep foundation in the country. Hu Rong wanted to hear his opinion.
Hearing that this matter was related to the future of the Chinese town in Myanmar, Zhuang Rui pondered for a while and asked: "If the jade mine is sold, will there be no place for the Chinese to work?"
Hu Rong shook his head and said: "That's not true. The Hu family has other jobs in Myanmar. However, once this mine is sold, the Hu family's voice in the resources and mining industry will be greatly reduced. It will be difficult to win over it in the future.
A good mine…”
Myanmar itself is also an agricultural country, and Chinatown also has a lot of farmland in the surrounding areas. However, most young people go to work in the mines, and farming is generally done by women and the elderly.
The reason why Hu Rong hesitates is because the domestic situation in Myanmar is complicated. If he sells this rich mine, he will probably be squeezed out by his peers in the future. It will be even more difficult to get involved in the jade mining industry.
"Brother Hu, in your opinion, are there still many valuable jade mines in Myanmar?" Zhuang Rui asked.
"Where are there any valuable mines? An area of dozens of kilometers has been mined for hundreds of years and has been basically hollowed out. However, a lot of gold mines have been discovered..."
Hu Rong's eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke. The jade mine is gone. He can look for gold mines. The miners will still be needed when the time comes.
"Okay, Brother Hu, I'll find time to go to Pagan with you again to take a look at the jade mine. We'll decide then. Is that okay with you?"
Zhuang Rui can't give an answer to this matter now. He wants to see how many jade veins there are in that mine first?
If it is still the same vein that we saw before and does not extend inward, then Zhuang Rui's idea is of course sold. If there are other veins in the mine, naturally the British guys cannot be cheap.
"Do you want to visit Pagan?"
Hu Rong did not expect Zhuang Rui to make this request. After thinking for a while, he said: "If you really want to conduct an on-site inspection, let's leave in the next two days?"
"So urgent? Even if the other party proposes an acquisition, it won't be that fast, right?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It would take at least a year and a half to negotiate such a large capital acquisition. There is no need to be in such a hurry, right?
In addition, Zhuang Rui has something to do here. The sunken Song Dynasty ship is still in the warehouse at Tianjin Port and will be moved there when the exhibition hall is built.
Hu Rong picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip of tea, and said: "That matter is not urgent. In order to show our sincerity for this acquisition, the jade mine is now in a semi-stop state. However, in early September,
But this is the third jade public sale this year, why don’t you take the opportunity to go take a look?”
"Emerald Public Offer?!"
There were indeed many things that aroused Zhuang Rui's memories today, first the unforgettable place in Hpakant, and then the Jade Market. For a moment, Zhuang Rui really had the urge to rush to Myanmar.
"Yes, the jade auction in September is the largest and most lively one. Why don't you go and see it?"
Hu Rong laughed and continued: "Although I am abroad, I often hear people saying that you, the "Emerald King" of the North, are not worthy of your name. Don't you want to prove it? And it is said that the one from Yunnan this time"
"The Emerald King" will also go there, you are the meeting of the two kings!"
To be honest, Hu Rong has never been able to figure out Zhuang Rui's ability to gamble with stones. He also wants to see who is more powerful among the two "Emerald Kings", one old, one young, one south and one north.
"Early September? There are still four or five days left..."
After Zhuang Rui thought for a while, he said: "Okay, I'll go. I'll make other arrangements for the next two days. Don't leave in a hurry. Then we'll take my private jet and go together..."
For both reasons and reasons, Zhuang Rui has to go there once, because if the jade mine is really sold, Zhuang Rui's capital "Qin Ruilin", including the entire jade raw material of Qin's jewelry, will face a huge crisis.
.
Therefore, when Zhuang Rui went to Myanmar this time, he not only wanted to transport the top-quality jadeite that had been mined from the Pagan Jadeite Mine back to China, but he also wanted to buy enough rough stones on the public market to ensure that "Qin Ruilin" could be used within ten years at least.
Material?
As for Beijing, the expansion of the museum will take two months at the earliest, and the shipwreck cultural relics are being studied by Professor Meng and the others, which has nothing to do with Zhuang Rui.
However, Zhuang Rui was a little worried about the bet promised to the Gambling King at the end of the year. The Gambling King called him a while ago, first congratulating Zhuang Rui on the shipwreck and the water, but the rest of his words related to the gambling game, which made Zhuang Rui extremely annoyed.
Moreover, Zhuang Rui felt a little owed to his wife and children. He originally said he would not travel far, but this time he had to go abroad again. Moreover, the situation in Myanmar was complicated and he could not take them with him. This was what gave Zhuang Rui a headache.
…
After returning to the room, Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing talked about the matter. Qin Xuanbing understood it very well, and this matter would also affect the Qin family in Hong Kong. She quickly called her father.
Qin Haoran has already learned about this. He is also preparing to participate in the Burmese public sale and hoard a batch of jade raw materials. He immediately made an appointment with Zhuang Rui on the phone to meet in Burma.
The next day, Zhuang Rui drove to the Jade Association and got an invitation letter from Myanmar. Without this, he really couldn't participate in the public sale. This allowed Zhuang Rui to enjoy the privilege of being a director of the Jade Association.
treatment.
What Zhuang Rui didn't know was that the fact that he was going to participate in the Myanmar Jadeite Public Sale in September was also spread by some internal staff of the Jade Association. This news immediately caused the domestic jade industry to boil, and many eyes focused on it.
On Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui's status today is no longer that of a fledgling young man back then. He has a very good reputation in the antique business, almost on par with Fatty Jin and others. In the archaeological industry, he is even a close disciple of Professor Meng. He is always criticized wherever he goes.
A person's height depends on one point.
Although Zhuang Rui has not done much in the jade industry in the past two years, giving people a feeling of being a flash in the pan, the young "Emerald King" of the North is about to make a comeback, which still alarmed many people.
Many people want to know whether this young man will return as a king and sweep the Burmese public market, or whether he will come back defeated and prove that he was just lucky back then.
There is another interesting point in this, that is, the "Jade King" of Yunnan, who was as famous as the "Jade King" of Xinjiang in the jade shop, will also participate in this public sale. Whether there will be sparks in the collision between the old and the young will also make people wonder.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
For a time, the invitation letters to the public sale in Myanmar became more expensive than those in Luoyang. Many people who had not originally planned to participate in the public sale also changed their minds and packed their bags to prepare to go to Myanmar.
