MTL - As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store-Chapter 520 first!
Chapter 520 The first time!
Mr. Wang paused for a moment before continuing: "But you must all know the significance of the gold mine. According to me, the current gold reserves of Mao Xiong and Camel are 75 million ounces and 11 million ounces respectively. The mine has a full 40 million ounces, which is almost half of your total reserves!"
Although Mr. Wang didn't speak directly, Aziz and Dmitry knew in their hearts that it would be a huge loss for them if the cooperation could not be negotiated.
Especially Aziz understands that if the cooperation can be successfully achieved, it will greatly improve the camel's gold reserves. After all, the amount of gold reserves is of great significance for balancing the balance of payments and maintaining the exchange rate level.
Looking at the slightly frowned eyebrows of the two, Zhou Chao knew that what Wang said touched their hearts. You must know that gold is an important strategic material that is scarce in every country compared to other resources.
But Zhou Chao also knows that the value of gold mines will definitely decrease to a certain extent. After all, a lot of manpower and material resources will be invested, and it will take a long time to mine.
Aziz and Dmitri couldn't help looking at Zhou Chao, as if they wanted to know whether it was his meaning or Wang Yi's meaning.
Zhou Chao shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Don't look at me, it's useless to look at me. I don't know much about these things, so I can only leave it to Mr. Wang to take full responsibility."
A smile flickered on the corner of Wang Yi's mouth when he heard this. Although it disappeared quickly, it was still seen by Aziz and Dmitri. .
"Oh, my stomach hurts a little. I wonder if there is something wrong with the noodles I ate in the morning. Let's talk first, and I'll come as soon as I go!" Zhou Chao ran towards the villa as soon as he finished speaking, clutching his stomach.
This scene made everyone present feel that their brains were insulted, and couldn't help complaining in their hearts, "You pretend to be a little bit, what's the matter!"
When Zhou Chao ran into the villa, everyone turned their eyes back and glanced at each other. Aziz and Dmitry knew in their hearts that the real meat scene had just begun.
Sure enough, the two saw that Wen Bin next to Wang Yi took out a notebook from the briefcase he was carrying. The two of them glanced at it, and saw that the opened page of the notebook was full of words.原Ample preparations have been made for this trip.
At this time, Zhou Chao was lying on the recliner and playing with his mobile phone leisurely, muttering to himself: "Fortunately, I run fast, if I sit there for a few more hours, I will have to give me something wrong." , Fortunately, I have the foresight.
There was a smug expression while speaking, but everyone had seen through his tricks.
Listening to the quarrels outside from time to time, under the warm light of the fireplace, Zhou Chao unconsciously lay down on the recliner and fell asleep, not even knowing when the phone fell on the ground.
I don't know how long it took. Zhou Chao felt someone pushing him gently, and there was a slight voice in his ears. He opened his blurred eyes and saw Mr. Wang sitting beside him.
Zhou Chao sat up quickly and rubbed his blurred eyes, "Old Wang, why are you here? Are you done talking?" While speaking, he looked around and saw Wen Bin sitting not far away.
"How can it be so fast? Today can only be regarded as conveying our request to the other party. It may take two or three talks to reach an agreement. And now there is a problem that needs your consent." Wang Lao leaned on the sofa Said softly.
Zhou Chao looked at Wang Yi with some doubts, "What's the problem?"
"It is that Aziz and Dmitry both require some transactions to be made in cash, and it is impossible to use industries or resources for transactions. After all, this is a loss for them. You also know that the short-term income of gold mines is not very ideal."
Zhou Chao nodded when he heard the words. He also knew that his request was unrealistic. After all, a gold mine worth 680 billion U.S. dollars, even if the three share the shares equally, a family would be more than 220 billion U.S. dollars. With the entire net worth of a Fortune 500 group, no matter how rich Aziz and the others are, they will not cede such a large group. There is a high probability that they will use some minerals, energy, money, etc. to conclude the deal.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chao looked at Mr. Wang and said, "No problem, as long as I don't suffer."
Although Zhou Chao's words didn't explain it clearly, Mr. Wang also knew what Zhou Chao meant. It was nothing more than guaranteeing Zhou Chao's interests on the premise of achieving certain domestic goals, whether it was from the two of Aziz or From the domestic aspect.
"Don't worry, you will definitely not suffer. If there are special circumstances at that time, the country will compensate you."
"Well, okay, then I will leave this matter to you. Since the country can send you in person, I think that's what it means, and I can be regarded as liberated from here." Zhou Chao stretched a chair on the recliner Lanyao, although he didn't know what the people above were planning, but neither his father-in-law nor Xiao Lao and others called him, which meant that there would be no problem with this matter.
Hearing this, Mr. Wang looked at him curiously and said, "Are you planning to return to China?"
"Well, my third grandfather's 80th birthday will be in a few days. I'm going to go back and have a look. After all, they are all my relatives." Zhou Chao also felt a little emotional. He had been avoiding those relatives before. I haven't contacted him before, so I'm still a bit fickle when I say it. After all, my surname is Zhou. This is a fact that cannot be changed.
"Then when are you going to return to China?"
"Let's wait two more days to see how your negotiations are progressing. It would be the best of course if they can be successfully completed before I return home.
By the way, Mr. Wang, how about Aziz and Dmitri, they have all gone back! Only then did Zhou Chao think of Aziz and the others.
"They have all gone back, and they didn't say hello to you when you were sleeping. After our preliminary negotiations in the morning, Aziz and the others are willing to pay for a newly developed large oil field, some mines and 50 billion dollars. As for the German Mitri’s side is similar, and he is also willing to take out an oil field, and some industries are in Affiliated California, mainly mining farms!” Veteran Wang briefly explained to Zhou Chao the general content of the previous negotiations one time.
"Old Maozi's abacus is still very loud." Zhou Chao heard the aspect given by Dmitri, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Actually... we asked for this aspect on our own initiative." Mr. Wang said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, Zhou Chao was a little stunned. You must know that the situation in Affiliated California is not optimistic now, especially there are more or less conflicts between the mining of various mines and the local indigenous people, and it is so far away. , Transporting it back to the country is a bit of a loss, it might as well be more convenient here in Maoxiong country.
But Zhou Chao quickly understood, and looked at Wang Yi next to him meaningfully, "Old Wang, you are not kind!"
Mr. Wang smiled, and said with some emotion: "Before I came here, the higher-ups told me that you Zhou Chao is a ghost, and it's best not to hide anything from you. I didn't expect you to guess before I told you." arrive!"
After a pause, Mr. Wang put away the smile on his face, and his face became a little more serious, "You know it well, so I won't say more. You should also know the general meaning of the above. When the time comes, if you If you feel dissatisfied, you can say whatever you want.”
Zhou Chao couldn't help sitting up straight, "The request is not too big. You also know that I have a large steelmaking plant under my command. When the time comes, you can help me keep an eye on a few mines. In addition, I am in Aphilia. There are three iron mines over there, I hope you can take care of them for me."
These three iron mines were purchased by Levi and Todd in Affiliate California. They are not considered large-scale mines, but they can still meet the needs of the current steelmaking plant. For this reason, Levi also called to apply for the purchase of several Zhou Chao also agreed to let him set up a freight company on his own, which was already in operation at this time.
At first, Mr. Wang thought that Zhou Chao would make some exorbitant demands, but who knew it was so simple, "That's it? I agreed on behalf of the higher-ups!"
"Okay, don't be foolish when the time comes, and my money, you can't have any crooked thoughts!"
Wang Yi glanced at him angrily, and said that he was the kind of person who couldn't make decisions, and said something crooked, which was completely contemptuous of people, but it was only hundreds of billions of dollars in cash, only more than 6,000 It's only 100 million Huaxia coins.
"Holding the grass, it's not that I don't know, but it's shocking. You need to know that more than 600 billion can do a lot of things, which is equivalent to the GDP of many cities for a year. It seems that there are no companies in China that can have so much cash flow. Well, except for tobacco oil!" Wang Lao looked at Zhou Chao firmly.
Looking at Wang Yi's eyes, Zhou Chao couldn't help shivering, "Old Wang, don't look at me like this, I feel like you want to eat me up." He sat back as he spoke.
"Ahem, it's already noon, when is dinner!" Wang Lao quickly changed the subject.
Zhou Chao smiled, and did not continue the topic just now. He turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, and he could still hear the sound of cooking coming from inside.
"Lin Wu, who is cooking in the kitchen!" asked Lin Wu who was standing not far away.
Lin Wusan walked to Zhou Chao's side in two steps and said, "Boss, it's a chef that Lev found in the town this morning, and he can cook Chinese dishes. I heard that they are quite delicious."
"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded lightly, and continued to chat with Wang Lao and others.
"Mr. Wang, you said just now that both companies offered an oil field to trade. Is there something tricky in this? Will they falsify some data, such as giving me a semi-disabled oil field and passing it off as a good one!"
"Don't worry, this kind of situation will not happen. You must know that the three of us represent the face of our respective countries. If something like this happens, their international reputation will become worthless. There is another thing To tell you, I almost forgot!"
"What is it?" Zhou Chao asked curiously.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Dmitry wants our transaction to be done privately without fanfare, and he also hopes that this gold mine can be transferred to Mao Xiong's side in name!"
"Old Wang, you mean that Dmitry wants to use this gold mine to do something!"
"Who knows, maybe I want to use this gold mine as a bait. You must know that there are still many undeveloped places in Siberia. Affected by the weather, I don't know how many mines are buried under this ice and snow land in Siberia. .”
"It's possible, but is there any benefit!" Zhou Chao said with a smirk, after all, if there is an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard!
"Don't worry, it's good. There is a pasture adjacent to your ranch. Most of it is grassland, with only a few mountains. The area is only about 10,000 mu. If you agree, it will be directly assigned to your ranch."
As soon as Zhou Chao heard about the 10,000-mu pasture, Zhou Chao readily agreed, although it didn't mean much to him. "That's a good relationship. It just so happens that I dislike the fact that the grassland area of my pasture is too small, and most of it is mountainous. It just so happens that in the spring of the coming year, I will raise some good breeds of cattle and sheep to eat by myself!"
"Remember to raise some cattle and sheep for me!" Wang Yi said jokingly.
"Don't worry, everyone has a share!"
At this moment, Lin Wu came over, "Boss, Mr. Wang, you can eat!"
"Let's go, how about going to taste the skills of our new chef!"
Immediately, the three of them got up and walked towards the restaurant. There were five or six dishes on the table. Zhou Chao took a look at them. Three meat, two vegetables and one soup were basically Sichuan style. It seems that this new chef Still have a little skill.
"Boss, the dishes are ready!" Lin Wu put the last dish of twice-cooked pork in the middle of the dining table.
Zhou Chao nodded, and then greeted Wang Yi and the two to sit down, "It's not as convenient as in China, Mr. Wang, you can only make do with it."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang became a little unhappy, "You say that I don't seem to have experienced hardships, and I have also experienced hardships. Besides, these dishes are so rich, how can you call it a compromise!"
"I'm not worried that you won't get used to it if you don't eat it." Zhou Chao forced a wave of sophistry.
Wang Yi didn't say anything. He talked with Aziz and others for several hours in the morning. His stomach was already empty, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Wen Bin beside him should not show weakness, so he also started eating , Zhou Chao was stunned for a while, if those people in the country knew about it, they would think that they had neglected the old couple Wang!
Zhou Chao tasted it, and the new chef’s skills are still good. It has the taste of domestic Sichuan cuisine, but there is a slight lack of it. The seasoning may be almost lacking. I think there is no such thing here, and I don’t care too much.
The three of them ate quite quickly, and basically ate all seven dishes cleanly, and even finished the soup.
Just as Zhou Chao was about to lament Mr. Wang's appetite, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and he took it out to see that it was Ibia's call.
"I'll answer the phone first." Greeted Mr. Wang, and walked towards the door.
Then the phone was connected, "Hello, Ibia, what's the matter?"
Zhou Chao was also a little puzzled at this time, didn't he just meet in the morning, why is he calling again now?
"Chou, are you interested in going out to play in the afternoon? I got a good thing." Ibia looked mysterious.
"Good stuff, what good stuff?"
"You'll find out when the time comes, it's sure to be a surprise!"
Zhou Chao pondered for a moment before saying: "Okay, I see, I will call you in the afternoon!"
"See you soon!" After saying that, Ibia hung up the phone.
Zhou Chao stood at the door and pondered for a while before turning around and walking towards the house.
