"Well, it's almost enough. You can use this money plus the Bombas copper mine we gave up to exchange for at least 10% of the equity of Iquitos Oil and Gas Company!"
Until now, Liu Dong is still obsessed with Peru's largest oil company, just because its value is so high. It not only controls almost all of Peru's proven oil reserves, but also controls more than half, reaching 100 billion.
cubic meters of natural gas resources!
If coupled with a petrochemical plant with a processing capacity of 5 million tons at a time and an oil sales network throughout Peru, the total assets of Iquitos Oil and Gas, the largest company in Peru, have reached 40 billion U.S. dollars, with a potential value of more than 100 billion.
Dollar!
Faced with such a large oil company, as long as there is a chance, Liu Dong will get involved no matter what!
Although it is destined to be impossible to obtain a controlling stake from the Alfonso family, it should be possible with a partial shareholding!
"...Also, help me tell Lonrado that I want the equity in Iquitos Oil and Gas Company just to share the profits, not to seize control of the company from him, so he doesn't have to worry.
!" Liu Dong instructed.
"I understand, Master!"
Looking at the serious-looking Jose Aguilar, Liu Dong finally told him some details and then asked a helicopter to carry him and a group of elite soldiers selected from the Guards Special Forces to escort him to Peru.
Iquitos, seat of the Fonso family.
Just as Liu Dong imagined, in the face of his threat, although Longrado Alfonso was extremely reluctant, he still agreed to Liu Dong's conditions.
Three days later, Liu Dong took the 12% share certificate of Iquitos Petroleum Company in exchange for the return of the Bombas copper mine and 3 billion U.S. dollars. He smiled and returned the Arica gold mine and the captured soldiers who came to receive it.
Alfonso family members, and then led the Guards special forces to leave Arica, where they had been fighting for more than three months.
Of course, no one knows that half of this high-grade gold mine with reserves of 300 tons has been mined by Liu Dong!
Returning to the castle in the Paramillo Mountains, Liu Dong also began to prepare to leave Colombia. He had been here for nearly two months, from October 8th to now almost December 8th!
But after wasting so much time, his harvest is unparalleledly rich!
Whether it is Catena Petroleum Company, Cody Mining, Darren Group, and the remaining few companies, they are industry giants worth more than $1 billion.
Although the harvest is very rich, if you want to straighten out all these enterprises and truly bring them into your own hands, Liu Dong needs to seriously manage them in the future!
"Master!"
"Oh, Jose, what's the matter?" Liu Dong asked as he walked back to the living room from the balcony.
"The laboratory report you requested has been prepared!"
"Really? Show me!"
With that said, Liu Dong quickly took the document from Jose Aguilar's hand, which was the laboratory report of the ore he got back from the Bombas Copper Mine. What excited Liu Dong the most was the copper mine.
The grade is very high, reaching 26.7%. This has reached the conventional definition of a copper-rich mine!
If all the ores in the Bombas copper mine are like this, then this copper mine alone can provide Liu Dong with 12 million tons of copper ore. This scale is already world-class!
Moreover, the ore also contains 0.018% molybdenum. It is expected that the entire copper mine can produce approximately 900,000 tons of molybdenum ore!
And although the content of gold and silver is still in many decimal places, if multiplied by the total amount of 50 million tons of ore, Liu Dong can still harvest about 12,000 tons of silver and 1,000 tons of gold!
The Bombast Copper Mine can no longer be measured in terms of money alone. It is simply a huge cornucopia! The most important thing is that Liu Dong has invested almost no money in its development.
Therefore, in addition to the small amount of money required for ore processing and transportation, this super copper mine is at least worth more than 20 billion, or even 30 billion U.S. dollars. Unfortunately, it may take at least ten years to realize these two to three billion U.S. dollars.
Time, after all, too much copper ore has flooded into the international market. The cheaper one is not Liu Dong, but other merchants who need copper! Therefore, the most important thing is to keep the water flowing smoothly!
Putting away the documents, Liu Dong said: "How are you preparing for the large warehouse I asked you to prepare, Jose?"
"Master, what do you think of Raya Valley?"
"Laya Valley?" The topography of the entire valley immediately appeared in Liu Dong's mind. This large valley on the edge of Mount Paramillo covers an area of more than 8,000 acres. The area originally used by Muñoz's troops was only a few thousand acres.
By a fifth, the rest is still wide open.
Moreover, in the next step, when the troops are reorganized and go to Africa to enter the mercenary world, the camps here will probably be reduced, so it is very good to build a super warehouse with an area of more than 100,000 square meters that Liu Dong needs.
However, the only disadvantage of Laya Valley is that there is no road connecting it to the outside, which is particularly inconvenient!
But now Liu Dong has no other better choice!
"The Laya Valley is the Laya Valley! But the smelting of copper mines cannot be placed here!"
There are not many gold mines in Liu Dong's Mustard Seed Space, but there are a lot of copper ores. Even if it is just rough refining, it will consume a lot of electricity, so the Laya Valley, which is closed to the outside world, is destined to be unable to develop industry.
In addition, Liu Dong also needs to maintain the secrecy of his hometown in Colombia, so the complex terrain around the Laya Valley cannot destroy this natural defense.
After making a decision in his mind, Liu Dong said: "José, I now have gold ore that can smelt about 150 tons of gold. I will put it in the Laya Valley tomorrow. Then you can find someone to put the gold in it and other valuables."
Valuable non-ferrous metals are extracted. After the gold is refined, it is temporarily placed on the ninth floor of the castle as the reserve gold of the American Commercial Bank to enhance the bank's ability to resist risks. As for the other non-ferrous metals, sell them all!"
There was a lot of silver and copper in this gold and silver associated mine, but it was less than a thousand tons, and Liu Dong didn't pay much attention to it.
"I understand, Master!"
Although he didn't know where Liu Dong got these gold ores, Jose could guess that they were related to the Arica gold mine. As for the other things, he didn't want to think about them because there were too many secrets about this new owner.
.
"Um!"
Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction. What he was most satisfied with about Jose Aguilar was his knowledge. He knew what to ask and what not to ask! Moreover, he was extremely reliable in doing things. It was precisely because of this that Liu Dong became more and more interested.
Rely on him.
"It's not without reason that this guy became Muñoz's confidant!" Liu Dongxin said.
"Oh, by the way, Master! This is the development plan for your major groups for the next year that I have drawn up. Please review it!" With that said, Jose quickly handed the other documents in his hand to Liu Dong!
"Really? I didn't expect you to be quite efficient!" As he said that, Liu Dong took the document over with great interest.
The first one is Cartagena Petroleum Company. In fact, this company has no room for expansion in oil and natural gas sources. Unless new oil resources or natural gas fields are discovered in Colombia, it can only improve
The scale and industrial scope of its petrochemical plants!
The reason for this is that the competitiveness of Catena Petroleum Company in the international market is too low, coupled with the country's chaos, it is impossible to compete with international giants such as Mobil and Shell Oil.
However, Liu Dong did not expect Cartena Petroleum Company to achieve much development abroad, so he planned to invest 1.5 billion US dollars in Jose Aguilar to increase the petrochemical plant owned by Cartena Petroleum Company to 5 million tons.
Annual processing capacity, and the investment project of a new 300,000-ton ethylene petrochemical enterprise expressed approval!
"I often say that we invest in companies not just to make money, but to complete the control of the entire industrial chain! Therefore, this investment must also include investment in gas stations! We must not only control the extraction of oil and natural gas
And processing, but also to master its terminal sales!" Liu Dongdao.
Anyway, there is no anti-monopoly law in Colombia. Since Cartena Petroleum Company has little hope of leaving Colombia, let’s do our best in this three-thirds of an acre of Colombia!
What's more, Colombia's area is not small. 1.14 million square kilometers is almost the area of the four eastern provinces of China. It also has a population of 46 million and is also very rich in resources. If it can occupy this country's oil market, it will be very good!
"I understand, Master!"
"Well, Cody Mining Group, I agree with you in principle. Peru and Bolivia are both large countries rich in resources. However, many of our resources in Colombia have not been developed yet, so we will open the road within next year.
Developing Colombia's minerals is the top priority, and US$1 billion cannot buy any large mines, so I think it is not appropriate for Cody Mining to expand next year, but to wait for the group to generate profits before investing! By then, 150 tons of gold,
Coupled with the 50 tons of gold provided by our own gold mine, the two items plus the profit of Cody Mining Group itself should be able to collect US$3 billion!"
"... 3 billion U.S. dollars, if it is a mortgage loan, we can also get no less than 3 billion U.S. dollars from the American Commercial Bank. 6 billion U.S. dollars is enough for us to invest in one or two large-scale resource mines! And the development of large-scale resource mines is very important to us.
More advantageous!"
To open a mine, you must open roads and protect the livelihood of the indigenous people, which requires very high costs. Therefore, Liu Dong would rather invest in large mines, which will provide higher returns, but small mines do not have such conditions!
