Nine hundred and sixty seventh chapter dog head gold
Seeing Andrew asking for his opinion, Xue Chen thought about it and said uncertainly: "You should understand that I am not a geographer, let alone a professor from the Mining Association, but if I choose, then I will bet
This piece under my feet.”
Andrew glanced at Xue Chen, nodded thoughtfully, and said thank you. Regardless of whether it helped him or not, just being willing to accompany him to this land of Africa was worthy of his thanks.
The bearded person in charge of the mining management department seemed a little impatient and asked loudly: "Your time is almost up. Make your choice quickly. We are full of gold in Ghana. You don't have to bother. Whatever."
Choose one and you can make a fortune.”
The three creditors said nothing, but felt very unhappy in their hearts.
If the gold mines were given away for free, they would definitely not be selective, but now it is related to the issue of debt. When they had to hold their noses and accept these three gold mines to pay off the debt, the three parties had already lost eight million on paper.
The only thing you can do to stop losses is to pick the gold mine with the highest value. Millions of dollars is really not a small amount, and no one is willing to lose it easily.
The people from the three parties are still seizing the last time to survey the mine. The leaders of the three parties are also discussing with the people they brought. They are also very tangled in their hearts. They want to consider it more comprehensively, but they are worried about being let go.
People robbed and took away the gold mines they were optimistic about.
After a while, Andrew and the other two creditor responsible persons walked towards the bearded person in charge, and almost at the same time, they expressed their choices.
"I want this mine." Andrew said loudly and affirmatively.
He has already seen the results given by the exploration team. The first and second mines are similar. The roughly measured gold content is fifteen and seventeen grams per ton respectively, and the total gold storage is three tons.
The exploration result of this third mine is that the gold content is 13 grams per ton, which is even less than the first two. Because the area is small, the total reserve estimate is also lower.
But he still chose this area for a very simple reason. The estimated value of the first two mines was around five to six million US dollars, which was more than two million US dollars less than the debt in arrears. This was destined to be a loss.
The estimated value of the third gold mine was about four million U.S. dollars, and the loss would be one or two million U.S. dollars more. What prompted him to choose this third gold mine was the advice given by Xue Chen.
There is not much difference between losing two million US dollars and losing three or four million US dollars. In that case, he would rather trust his intuition, that is, trust the choice given by Xue Chen. He can gamble with the loss of two million US dollars.
.
The heads of the other two creditors shouted the same result within a second of each other, both intending to see the second gold mine.
The bearded man from the gold mine management department looked at it and said, "He said it first, and the second gold mine belongs to him." He was talking about someone from the financial loan company.
The person in charge of the Nevada steel company had a gloomy look on his face and could only accept the first piece of gold.
The bearded man glanced at Andrew, smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Brother, it seems that you are the only one who likes the land under your feet. They all prefer the second mine. To be honest, if it were me, I would
I will also choose the second block, or the first block, because the mining and transportation costs here will be higher, and the buyer will ask for a price reduction when selling. I wish you good luck." After that, he turned around and got in the car.
The three gold mines already have owners, and the convoy has returned to Accra, and once again came to the five-story white building. There is still one last step left, which is the transfer of property rights. This can only be proved by obtaining a legal document.
That mine belongs to you.
The three creditors were handling the procedures in the same room. The professor from the Gold Mining Association, who was invited by the financial loan company, looked at Andrew and said with a smile: "Mr. Andrew, I have known Mr. Carter from your group for many years.
Good friends, I really regret the choice you made this time. If it were me, Ningyuan would choose the first gold mine. At least it would be very convenient in terms of development and transportation, and the gold content might be higher.
.”
Andrew smiled and nodded with dignity: "Thank you, Professor, for your advice, but I don't regret my choice."
"But this may cost your group millions of dollars. I have to say that your choice is really bad." The old professor looked at Andrew, shook his head, and walked away.
The person in charge of the steel company was originally in a bad mood. Seeing this scene, he felt a little relieved. After all, his choice was not the worst.
Xue Chen didn't see this scene because he was waiting in the off-road vehicle. Ning Xuanxuan pulled his arm: "Hey, why did you choose the third gold mine? Look, the two families are competing for it.
Second piece."
"The reason is very simple, because I saw a piece of nugget gold, it's that simple." Xue Chen shrugged his shoulders.
Ning Xuanxuan thought about it: "Golden nugget? Sounds a bit familiar?"
"Nogold gold, simply put, is high-purity gold that exists in nature. It is also a high-concentration gold ore with a gold content of 50% or even 90% according to the data."
Yes, Xue Chen did find a piece of nugget gold. Otherwise, how could he choose this third gold mine that obviously has a geographical disadvantage?
"Nutoujin, what a strange name." Ning Xuanxuan muttered.
Xue Chen didn't know much about nugget gold, and it was basically rare to see it on weekdays, but he still read some information. This kind of high-purity natural gold has a relatively high value all over the world.
Especially in China, many people believe that gold nuggets are auspicious and can attract wealth, so the price in the market is still very high. He has seen at least three fake gold nuggets, all of which were gilded from outside.
Then it is corroded with concentrated acid, but in fact it is just a lead block inside.
And the gold nugget he saw more than 20 meters underground in the third mine was definitely real. It really had to be real. It was about the size of two fists. It was in the shape of a long strip and weighed about 100%.
It's about four kilograms.
If it is pure gold, four kilograms of gold would be worth one million yuan, but if it is nugget gold, its value is more than that. According to some information he has, the value of a piece of gold weighing four kilograms may be at least ten times higher.
The above, converted into US dollars, is two million!
This means that the actual value of this gold mine is the superficial value plus the two million US dollars! It will definitely not be lower than the value of the first two gold mines!
However, Xue Chen did not directly tell Andrew and Amanda that he had discovered the nugget. After all, although the two of them had a rough idea of some of his unusual methods, they still did not fully understand his biggest secret.
When he returned to the hotel, Andrew made a phone call to report the situation to the group and inform him of the choice he had made.
Next, he will continue to deal with this gold mine.
"Develop!"
Xue Chen found Andrew and told him to hire a mining team to develop the gold mine.
Nugget gold worth tens of millions is still buried in the soil. It must be dug out first, and then the correct step is to decide whether to sell the mine directly.
Andrew didn't know what Xue Chen was thinking, but he still followed this opinion and ordered Chadley to hire a mining team.
In Ghana, miners are everywhere. It can even be said that everyone is a gold miner. After all, there is really too much gold here. It is not easy to find a mining team.
It took Chadley a day to find a mining team of twenty-five people, along with some vehicles and machinery.
On the third day, the mining team entered the basin. Andrew followed Xue Chen's instructions and drew an area of 20 to 30 square meters in the mine, and asked the hired team to dig down along this direction.
Andrew didn't ask any more questions, but he felt a little excited because what Xue Chen was doing now was the same as when he was searching for sunken ships on the sea. He also designated a range and found a sunken ship hundreds of years ago on the sea.
So now, has the location of high-purity gold mines been determined?
Although the workers felt baffled, since they were paid to do the work, no one talked nonsense and started digging. It took most of a day to dig out a large pit with a depth of more than ten meters.
Xue Chen was also watching the scene all the time. In the evening, the gold nugget was finally dug out. It was dug out with the big shovel of the excavator along with other soil and ore.
The nugget of gold was so eye-catching, especially in the evening sunlight, when it reflected the golden light, it almost immediately attracted exclamations and screams from the miners.
Even Andrew was dumbfounded.
At the scene, only Xue Chen's face showed no big fluctuations.
When they saw the piece of nugget gold being dug out, the miners were all red-eyed and seemed to rush to snatch it. However, Andrew promptly gave the order to the two tall bodyguards he brought, and they both took out their pistols to scare these people.
The miners came up with the idea of robbing.
Xue Chen walked forward unhurriedly, and under the blazing and jealous eyes of twenty or thirty miners, he took the nugget of gold in his hand. When he came back, he handed it to Andrew's hand.
There is no gold nugget in the United States, but the value of such a large piece of highly concentrated gold is also very high. Andrew held it in his hand. Although he was destined to inherit a family fortune of billions of dollars, his heart could not help but beat violently at this moment.
stand up.
In the end, the gold nugget was safely transported back to the hotel, and through the mouths of more than 20 miners present, the news spread throughout Accra and even Ghana the next day: someone had unearthed a piece of gold that might be worth two million U.S. dollars.
of high-concentration gold deposits.
Andrew also seized the opportunity at the cusp of the storm and immediately put the mine up for sale. On the same day, more than a dozen mining companies came to contact him and discuss transactions.
During the negotiation, after being reminded by Xue Chen, Andrew deliberately kept the nugget of gold at hand and even invited the buyer to touch and appreciate it (to be continued)
