Chapter 0957 – Focus
This jadeite mine has been mined for almost two years, that British company still wants to acquire it, it seems that the work they have put in is still quite a lot, and it can make Hu Rong rush here, so I’m sure that the bidding price is not low.
“One billion two hundred million!” Hu Rong uttered a figure.
“One billion two hundred million?” Zhuang Rui raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything.
To be honest, according to Zhuang Rui’s previous survey, the value of this jade mine was going to be around two billion dollars, and the aura in Zhuang Rui’s eyes at that time hadn’t been upgraded, unable to see farther, and it wasn’t known if it contained more jade veins?
Two years of time, a total of but developed seven hundred million dollars worth of jade, the remaining at least more than one billion dollars of raw jadeite, that British company if only willing to bid twelve hundred million, Zhuang Rui will not agree to sell.
“It’s 1.2 billion pounds.”
Seeing Zhuang Rui frowning, Hu Rong added on the side.
“Shit, you didn’t say that earlier?”
Zhuang Rui glanced at Hu Rong with dissatisfaction, can this pound and dollar be compared? One billion two hundred million pounds is almost one hundred and fifty-six billion yuan, and one billion two hundred million U.S. dollars is not up to ten billion, the difference between the inside of a big go.
“You did not ask ah?”
Hu Rong laughed, he just wanted to see Zhuang Rui heard the word pound reaction, but Zhuang Rui let him down, heard the pound, did not look particularly excited.
In fact, Zhuang Rui heart is still a bit shocked, he originally thought he was quite rich, did not expect these foreign resource predators, a shot is tens of billions of yuan, and they compared to the point of their own assets, are embarrassed to say.
“Our initial prediction is that this mine is worth about two billion dollars, if the other side is really willing to pay 1.2 billion pounds, then it can be considered.”
Zhuang Rui said while thinking, “Hu, after receiving their offer, you should have also reevaluated the mine, right? What are the results of the evaluation?”
However, whenever such a transnational acquisition involving huge funds is made, both sides are more cautious, and each side will send an evaluation company to evaluate the resources of the mine, which is why Zhuang Rui asked this.
“My side invited a famous German mineral evaluation consultant company to evaluate, their evaluation results, and the British bid can not be too much difference, that’s why I came to ask for your opinion.”
Hu Rong now heart some tangled, from the interests, will sell the jade mine, can reduce a lot of intermediate links and workers expenses, undoubtedly will maximize the benefits.
But selling this jadeite mine is not beneficial to Hu’s development in Myanmar. Because Hu’s although there are seven or eight minerals in Burma, but those few minerals are thinning, almost digging out, only this emerald mine is Hu’s current profitability, the largest scale of a mine, if sold, it means that Hu’s will withdraw from the competition in the mineral resources industry in Burma.
So Hu Rong has not been able to decide, behind him is not only the Hu family, there are a hundred years attached to the Hu family of the entire Chinese city, living in the Chinese almost all rely on mining life, if the sale of the mine, it is a matter of a hair move the whole body, so he can not afford not to be prudent.
Hu Rong and Zhuang Rui there is nothing that can not be said between, immediately will be the heart of these ideas out, Zhuang Rui although young, but in the country’s deep roots, Hu Rong would like to listen to his views.
Hearing that this matter is related to the future of the Burmese Chinese city, Zhuang Rui pondered for a while and opened his mouth to ask: “If we sell that jadeite mine, isn’t it true that there will be no place to place those Chinese people to work?”
Hu Rong shook his head and said, “That’s not true, the Hu family has other jobs in Burma, but once this mine is sold, the Hu family’s voice in the resource mining industry will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to fight for a good mine in the future.”
In itself, Myanmar is also an agricultural country, and the Chinese city has a lot of arable land in the surrounding areas, it’s just that most of the young people have gone to work in the mines, and the farming is usually done by women and old people.
The reason why Hu Rong is looking forward and backward is because of the complexity of the domestic situation in Myanmar, if he sells this rich mine, I’m sure he will be ostracized by his peers in the future, and then want to get involved in the jade mining industry, but it’s much more difficult.
“Hu, according to your opinion, Burma now has the value of the jadeite mine is still not much?” Zhuang Rui asked.
“Where are there still any valuable mines ah? Dozens of kilometers of area has been mined for hundreds of years, basically all of them have been dug out, but there are quite a few gold mines found.”
Hu Rong said his eyes suddenly lit up, this emerald mine was gone, one could look for gold mines ah! It would be just as useful to have miners at that time.
“How about this! Hu, I find a time and you go to Pachang again, the field to see that emerald mine, we will decide then, you good okay?”
For this matter, Zhuang Rui now can not give an answer, he wants to look at the mine inside, in the end, still contains how many emerald veins? If still see before that a vein, and did not extend inward, then Zhuang Rui’s claim is of course sold, if the mine also contains other veins, naturally can not be cheap to the British.
“You’re going to Pa Dang to take a look?”
Hu Rong didn’t expect Zhuang Rui to make this request, after thinking for a while, he said, “If you really want to take a field trip, let’s leave in the next two days?”
“In such a hurry? Even if the other party proposes an acquisition, it’s not that fast, right?”
Zhuang Rui sniffed and froze for a moment, involving such a large sum of money to acquire, talk down at least a year and a half, there is no need to go in such a hurry, right? In addition, Zhuang Rui side there are things ah! The Song Dynasty shipwreck is still in the warehouse in Tianjin harbor, waiting for this side of the pavilion to be built to move in.
Hu Rong picked up the tea bowl in front of him, drank a mouthful of tea, said: “That thing is not urgent, in order to show our sincerity to the acquisition, the jadeite mine is now in the state of semi-suspension, but in the beginning of September, can be the third jadeite fair this year, ah! You do not take the opportunity to go see?”
“Emerald plate?”
Today caused Zhuang Rui memories of things are indeed quite a lot, first that unforgettable place in Pagang, and then the Jade Plate, for a time, Zhuang Rui really gave birth to the impulse to rush to Burma.
“Yes! September’s Jadeite Grand Prix is the largest and most lively one, don’t you want to go and take a look?”
Hu Rong laughed, then said, “Although I’m abroad, I often hear people say that you, the Northland ‘Jade King’ is not true to its name! Don’t you want to go and prove it? And it is said that this time the ‘Jade King’ of Yunnan will also go, you can be the double king will ah!”
To be honest, for Zhuang Rui’s ability to gamble on stones, Hu Rong has always been puzzled, he also wants to see this old and young, one south and one north two “Jade King” in the end who is more powerful?
“Early September? There are still four or five days.”
After Zhuang Rui thought for a while, said: “Okay! I go, these two days I first arrange something else, you also do not rush to go, then sit on my private plane we go together.”
In reason, Zhuang Rui is to go once, because if the jadeite mine to sell, Zhuang Rui’s capital “Qin Ruilin”, including the whole Qin’s jewelry jadeite raw materials, will face a huge crisis.
So Zhuang Rui this time to go to Burma, not only to Pagang jadeite mine has been mined out of the best jadeite transported back to the country, but also in the public market to shoot enough raw stone, at least to ensure that the “Qin Ruilin” ten years within the use of the material, right?
As for the Beijing side, the fastest expansion of the museum will take two months, and the shipwreck artifacts, and to Professor Meng, they are studying, there is nothing Zhuang Rui.
On the contrary, the end of the promise of the gambling king of the game, let Zhuang Rui some annoyance, before the gambling king also made a phone call, the first is to congratulate Zhuang Rui shipwrecks out of the water, after the words have pulled to the gambling game above, engaged in the Zhuang Rui is annoyed not overburdened.
And Zhuang Rui feel a little owe to his wife and children, originally said not to travel, this time to go abroad, and Myanmar situation is complicated, can not bring them, this is what makes Zhuang Rui headache.
After returning to the room, Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuan Bing said things, Qin Xuan Bing is very understanding, and this will also be related to the Hong Kong Qin’s, she hastened to give her father a phone call.
Qin Haoran has been informed of this matter, he is also prepared to participate in the Burma public market, hoarding a batch of jadeite raw materials, immediately on the phone and Zhuang Rui agreed to meet in Burma.
The next day, Zhuang Rui drove to the Jade Association, took a Burma side of the invitation letter, no this thing he really can not participate in the public disk, which let Zhuang Rui enjoy a jade association director’s treatment.
Just Zhuang Rui does not know is that he wants to participate in the September Burma jadeite disk thing, also by the Jade Association of some of the internal staff passed out, this news, immediately let the domestic jade line when boiling up, many eyes focused on the body of Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui’s status today, not when the fledgling young man, he is in the antique line reputation, almost and Fatty Jin and others, in the archaeological line is Professor Meng’s closed disciple, wherever you go to be a point of high regard.
Although Zhuang Rui these two years in the jade industry in not much out of the way, giving a kind of flash in the pan feeling, but the young Northland “Jade King” will come back, or alarmed many people.
Many people want to know, this young man will be the return of the king, sweeping the Burma public market, or will return in defeat, proving that he was just lucky.
There is another point of interest, that is, in the jade line and Xinjiang “Jade Prince” and the “Jade King” of Yunnan will also participate in the fair, whether this old and young will collide with the sparks, but also let the crowd look forward to.
For a while, the invitations to Myanmar’s public market became expensive, and many people who had not planned to participate in the public market changed their minds and packed their bags, ready to rush to Myanmar.
