"You kid, you disappear at every turn. If I hadn't been thinking about the piece of yellow jade that the old man carved, I might not have been able to find you, right?"
Hu Rong paused on the phone, lowered his voice and said: "I will go to your place tomorrow to discuss the gold mine..."
Mineral resources represent the strength of power in Myanmar. Although he was sure that his phone would not be tapped, for the sake of safety, Hu Rong decided to go to China in person.
"Okay, Brother Hu, I'm staying at Mr. Gu's house temporarily, you can just come here..."
Zhuang Rui could tell from Hu Rong's tone that this gold mine should have considerable reserves. Zhuang Rui was also a little curious about how much gold that gold mine contained.
Hu Rong was even more surprised when he heard Zhuang Rui's words and asked: "Why did you come to live with the old man? Even if the old man is not in good health, he still has his son to take care of him. When will it be your turn?"
"Go...go, the old man is in great health. I have other things to do and I came here to stay..."
When Zhuang Rui thought about the current situation that he had a home and could not return, he felt very angry. After chatting with Hu Rong for a few words, he hung up the phone.
"Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and why are you making such big news?"
As soon as Hu Rongren stepped into the courtyard, he shouted loudly and held a newspaper in his hand. He had obviously read the report about the "Peking Man Skull" fossil.
"Okay, Brother Hu, please spare me. Are you hiding from me when you don't see me?"
Zhuang Rui felt dizzy when he heard this. He grabbed Hu Rong and said, "Don't disturb the old man in the house. Let's sit in the yard and talk..."
Guyun had something to do at the company, so he went out early in the morning. Except for Gu Gu, who was carving jade in the studio, Zhuang Rui was the only one left in the courtyard, which was quite quiet.
"Tell me, Brother Hu, how much gold reserves does that gold mine contain?"
After Zhuang Rui poured Hu Rong a cup of tea, he asked straight to the point. Although he could detect gold mines, he was helpless with those unprocessed ores and could not determine their content.
Hu Rong laughed when he heard this, raised the newspaper in his hand, and said: "Brother, what is written in this newspaper is correct, you have a sharp eye..."
"Stop it, stop it, if you have something to say, don't tell it in the newspaper..."
Zhuang Rui interrupted Hu Rong before he could finish what he said. Firstly, he didn't like hearing what he said, and secondly, Zhuang Rui had a guilty conscience. His eyes were not so bright, but his golden eyes were right. Zhuang Rui was
With a pair of golden eyes!
"Okay, let's get down to business..."
Hu Rong put down the newspaper and lowered his voice and said: "This month has been mainly used for the survey of gold mines and the installation of gold refining equipment. Brother, do you know how much gold content is in that gold mine?"
Zhuang Rui rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Nonsense, I know why I still ask you? Brother, don't be tempted, just say..."
Hu Rong smiled proudly and said: "Hey, after preliminary surveys, the gold content in those ores is extremely high. It is a rare rich mine. It is estimated that every ten tons of ore can extract about 1 ounce of gold. Brother, let's make a fortune.
La……"
"What? It takes ten tons of ore to extract one ounce of gold? Brother Hu, is this considered a rich ore?"
Zhuang Rui knows that the ounce is the international unit of measurement for precious metals such as gold and silver. One ounce is equal to about 31 grams.
Hearing Hu Rong say that ten tons of ore, which is 10,000 kilograms, and 10 million grams can produce 31 grams of output, in Zhuang Rui's mind, it is really impossible to equate it.
"Ahem, you...are still too young?"
Hu Rong was drinking water. He choked on Zhuang Rui's words and coughed repeatedly. After a long while, he pointed at Zhuang Rui and said: "Do you know that in those places in Africa, 250 tons or more of ore are needed?
It takes only one ounce of gold to be extracted, do you still think it’s less?”
"The proportion of gold produced from ore is so low?"
Zhuang Rui really didn't know this knowledge. According to his idea, how could ten or eight grams of gold be extracted from one ton of ore? But he didn't expect that the amount of gold was far rarer than he imagined.
"Brother, just be satisfied. This gold mine is enough for us to last for several lifetimes..."
When Hu Rong measured the proportion of gold contained in the ore, he was almost frightened. He was a doctor of geology and knew the gold content well. Of course, he would not be as ignorant as Zhuang Rui.
Although this gold mine is not very big, it is an open-pit gold mine and is easy to mine. The most important thing is that after careful survey, Hu Rong came to the conclusion that this gold mine can produce at least 80 tons of gold.
High purity gold.
You know, the price of gold has skyrocketed in recent years, from more than 100 yuan per gram in 2003 to more than 300 yuan per gram in 2008, which has led to many forces in the world pouring into Africa to mine gold mines.
And 80 tons of gold is more than 20 billion RMB. Such a large number is enough to drive many people crazy. If this gold mine is known to outsiders, I am afraid that even with Hu Rong’s power in Myanmar,
Someone needs to take a piece of the pie.
Zhuang Rui originally had no intuitive understanding of this gold mine, but after hearing Hu Rong's explanation, he was speechless. It is estimated that once the gold mine is mined, the valley will no longer exist.
"By the way, Brother Hu, if you mine gold mines, you will definitely not be able to sell the jade mines. What are you going to do?"
Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered another deal. If the jade mine could be sold for 1.2 billion pounds, he could also get billions of RMB for his shares. This was not a small sum of money.
"Haha, I forgot to tell you. Recently, the Ministry of Mines of Myanmar issued a new regulation. All foreign companies investing in Myanmar must obtain the corresponding qualifications from the Myanmar government...
The British company is trying to obtain qualifications. I promise that they will not mine jade, but it will not be possible to trade until half a year at the earliest. This time is enough to mine out the gold mine..."
Hu Rong felt that after getting to know Zhuang Rui, his luck had become particularly good. The regulations issued by the Myanmar government seemed to be tailor-made for him.
"That's good, but Brother Hu, isn't the mining and refining time a little too tight? I heard that refining gold with mercury is very harmful to the human body..."
Zhuang Rui went home and checked some information about refining gold. During the refining process, mercury will volatilize in the form of gas and liquid, which is quite toxic.
Although this gold mine will become his biggest industry, Zhuang Rui does not want to exchange the lives of workers for it.
"Don't worry, brother, the workers in the gold mine and the refinery this time are all children of the family. I will definitely take the relevant measures..."
Seeing that Zhuang Rui could think of this, Hu Rong was very happy. He had already ordered a lot of protective masks and dust-proof clothing from the black market to prevent the harm caused by refining gold.
"By the way, this is for you..."
Hu Rong suddenly remembered something and took out a stack of documents from his bag and handed it to Zhuang Rui.
"Is this...a document from that overseas island?"
Zhuang Rui flipped through it. English didn't have any difficulty for him. He knew what these documents were after just a few glances.
"Yes, sign your name at the end and this document will take effect. I have asked Xiaosi to go to the island, so you don't have to worry about the construction of the island..."
Zhuang Rui gave away hundreds of millions of his drug dealer's capital for nothing, and then discovered a gold mine. Of course Hu Rong had to show something, otherwise he would feel very guilty.
"Okay, Brother Hu, thank you. Don't let anyone know about this island..."
Zhuang Rui did not refuse and carefully put the document into his bag. There is no prosperous family in this world. When the Ouyang family becomes prosperous, it may not be the same in the future. Zhuang Rui is preparing a way out for himself.
"Let's not say thank you or thank you. I'm going to stay in Beijing for a few days. Brother, please see if you can help me make an appointment with your uncle?"
In addition to discussing the gold mine with Zhuang Rui, Hu Rong came here this time for the affairs of the Chinese Town. This matter was too big and the general department probably did not have the energy to facilitate it, so he wanted to meet with the Ouyang family in the center.
That one.
"I can think of a way to do this, but Brother Hu, you have to have a name, right?"
Zhuang Rui frowned when he heard this. Although he was considered a close relative, he had only seen his uncle a handful of times. A rash date would definitely make him blame himself for his ignorance.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Hu Rong smiled and said: "Patriotic businessmen have returned to invest in China. The first-phase investment has reached 1 billion US dollars, and the total investment has reached 3 billion US dollars. Is this enough for the person who met him?"
For the future of Myanmar's Chinese town, Hu Rongke invested a lot of money. Not only did he invest all the family's funds, but he also invested in the gold mine that had not yet made any profit.
"Showing off, right?"
Zhuang Rui curled his lips when he heard this and said: "The little money you have is enough to meet the secretary of the provincial party committee. If you want to meet my uncle, it's not enough. But you'd better spend hundreds of millions of dollars for charity, which will be more effective."
good……"
Although the investment of more than 20 billion RMB is not small, it is indeed a little short of getting a national leader of Ouyang's level to meet him. Zhuang Rui means to ask Hu Rong to do charity, and then find someone to hype it up.
Take this to a higher level.
"Okay, I'll do as you say..."
Hu Rong thought about it for a while. Investment must pay attention to returns, and the relationship with the country is at best a cooperative relationship.
But doing charity is different. Just like those super-rich people in Hong Kong, which one didn't spend one billion or eighty billion dollars in the country to establish a relationship with some high-level officials?
"Well, I heard the chirping in the yard. I bet it's Xiao Hu who's here?"
Just as Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong were discussing some details, the old man came out. The object in his hand immediately attracted the attention of Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong.
