Become a super arms dealer with the workshop system

Chapter 136 I'm ashamed, I made a small contribution
It is a pity that the river valley is a completely undeveloped mining area, which means that if Han Feng starts mining from scratch, he will probably have to make an investment of at least eight figures first, and the design, construction, and purchase of equipment After the matter is settled, it will take at least two or three years to wait, and all the risks in the process must be borne by Han Feng alone.

In addition, the modern mining industry also needs a group of high-quality workers to be responsible for core equipment and management, which cannot be found in CAF. Go to China or other countries to recruit under the name of BI Group...

A company whose name I've never heard of,

Recruiting people to a country whose name I have never heard of, the country of Afrikaans,
Or go mining.

……

Han Feng put himself in his shoes and thought about it for a while, then quickly gave up the idea.

Still have to cooperate.

On the one hand, it is to share risks, and on the other hand, it is to let more forces become a community of interests with oneself, insurance.

So after struggling for a while, Han Feng finally called his friend in the embassy.

After explaining the basic situation, the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then let out a long sigh: "It's really scary to be young. Even just two months ago, I didn't expect you to go so far."

This is a small step for Han Feng, but it is a big step for Huaxia's foreign investment. Although the scale of the Hegu mining area is not ranked anywhere in the world, it is the first time that a Huaxia enterprise can control its own destiny. In your hands, you don't have to worry about being slaughtered because of political turmoil.

Worth it!

"When does Mr. Han want to start the project, and is he going to go through the bidding process?"

This question was indeed something Han Feng hadn't thought of. In his opinion, it would be nice to have a mining giant in such a small mine, but it didn't sound like that.

At this time, Han Feng still didn't know how meaningful his call was to the people over there.

"Hmm..." Han Feng hesitated for a moment: "My company is currently in the stage of rapid expansion, so of course I hope that the sooner the better, if I choose not to conduct public bidding, which companies can I cooperate with?"

"Huaxia Aluminum Group, Huaxia Nonferrous Mining Group, and Huaxia Rare Earth Group, no matter whether they choose to open bidding or not, they are actually choosing among these three. The bidding process is just to ensure that your company can maximize its benefits." The phone call The voice was still calm, and it seemed that it was only a common thing for these three super groups to participate: "Since you just said that the sooner the better, then only Huaxia Aluminum has experience in mine operation and management in Afrika. Some people can even be transferred directly from the mines in Kenya.”

"Then it's up to them." Han Feng didn't get too entangled. With his current size, it would be a great thing to be able to get on line with any of them.

"One more thing needs to be confirmed." The people over there are obviously very thoughtful: "According to the agreement between your company and the CAF government, can the mining rights be completely transferred?"

"No." Han Feng has no need to be sloppy in this matter, and he has already figured out a solution: "But we can avoid this problem by establishing a joint venture. You know that the law on CAF does not Not strict."

"this is not good."

As soon as Han Feng finished speaking, the other party immediately rejected the idea: "I'm going to make this a model for foreign investment, so don't engage in any behaviors that borderline, everything needs to be in full compliance with CAF laws, I know you are here influence, but we are not like those colonists."

Han Feng has never heard of what is a model of foreign investment before, but it sounds awesome, and since it is called a "model", are you going to let others follow suit?
However, no matter what the person on the other end of the phone thinks, if there is no joint venture, then the only way left seems to be to let Huaxia Aluminum invest in Hanfeng's BI Group.

This is something Han Feng does not want to see. He can cooperate with other companies on specific projects, but he cannot accept the dilution of his equity in the company anyway.

Even if it goes out 1%, it won't work.

So Han Feng organized his language and said: "But because of the particularity of BI Group's business, we cannot accept other companies to invest in us, which may affect customers' doubts about our neutral position. Therefore, in addition to the joint venture model, it seems that There is no better choice."

"Hahahaha..." There was a burst of laughter from the receiver: "Of course I don't mean Huaxia Aluminum to invest in your company, but your BI Group to directly operate the mine, and then outsource the mining business to Huaxia Aluminum."

Han Feng was stunned by the other party's proposal, unable to say a word for a long time.

good guy?Let Huaxia Aluminum, a dignified state-owned enterprise, subcontract me?

The essence of this idea is similar to the school contracting out the canteen, charging a certain contracting fee every month, and the profits from the operation of the canteen are all owned by the contractor. Under this model, the canteen itself still belongs to the school, but the actual operator has no relationship with the school. relationship.

Of course, the canteen is a secondary business of the school, so it is normal to contract it out, but the contracting out of the core mining business by a mine already belongs to the category of subcontracting.

If it is the engineering construction industry, this kind of subcontracting behavior is strictly prohibited in China, but firstly, there are no such regulations abroad, and secondly, mining is not part of engineering construction, so it is naturally feasible.

"Of course it's possible, but I don't know if the other party will be willing?" Han Feng reconfirmed it again just to be on the safe side: "After all, let's talk about subcontracting..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "Whether they are willing or not, you don't need to take care of it. As long as you agree to this plan, I will naturally have a solution."

This is not the first time Han Feng has contacted this staff member, but this time the other party's tone made him realize that this person's identity must be not simple.

"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news here." Naturally, Han Feng would not be stupid enough to ask about his identity, and that would easily lead to the collapse of the entire world view.

Only three days later, a four-member delegation from Kenya came to Boda to find Han Feng.

"Hello, I'm Liu Fangchao, the person in charge of the Afrika region of Huaxia Aluminum Group. Are you Han Feng, President Han of BI Group?" One of the leaders came forward first.

"I am." Han Feng shook hands with the other party, and at the same time took a deep breath. Obviously, the previous person did not talk empty words, and Huaxia Aluminum really sent someone directly: "Come upstairs with me, the reception room On the second floor."

"That's right, I received news from my superiors saying that your company has a mining project in CAF that needs to be subcontracted and is interested in our group, so I, as the general manager of the region, came here to talk to you about the details of the contract Question." The four of them followed Han Feng to the living room and sat on several sofas, and it was Liu Fangchao who took the lead in talking.

Such jumpy steps directly confused Han Feng. He originally thought that the efficiency of central enterprises must be slower and the steps must be more cumbersome. In the end, according to what Liu Fangchao meant, it seemed that he had to sign a contract and pay directly?

"There is such a thing. I can take you to investigate the mining area right away. Although the scale is not very large, it is definitely a rich mine." Han Feng replied. BI Group seemed insincere: "You know, CAF has been at war before, and that place is located in the middle, at the junction of Bangi and the Seleka Alliance forces, so it has never been peaceful, but from now on it should be able to stabilize Production started."

"It's not necessary. Our group has been cultivating in Africa for many years, and we have collected data and even conducted research on almost large-scale mining areas here." Liu Fangchao pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "As for the situation of CAF, we are more concerned about the situation. We believe in Boss Han’s ability, or rather, we are here because of Boss Han’s efforts for the peace process of CAF.”

Such a compliment made Han Feng a little embarrassed.

"I'm ashamed, I made a small contribution." Han Feng waved his hand, and then quickly changed the topic back to the subcontracting of the mine: "I don't know if you have any questions about this subcontracting. Han must know everything."

The four members of the Aluminum Group looked at each other a few times, and finally a middle-aged woman wearing glasses who was behind Liu Fangchao asked, "The mining rights contract signed between Boss Han and the CAF government is 15 years, and There is a limited right to renew the contract after it expires, but have you considered that if President Vatuzela leaves office in 5 or 10 years, the issue of mining rights may change? You know, in Africa, This is not an uncommon situation."

Han Feng crossed his fingers and rested his chin on his chin, thinking for a moment.

Now that Liu Fangchao has mentioned his role in the war just now, he must not be unaware of the influence of the BTD Group in the CAF Air Force, and the normal leadership transition will not affect commercial contracts, so the other party's problem is actually He was asking how he planned to deal with possible political turmoil in the future.

"I have confidence in the current CAF. The era when colonists could change course by setting up a few cannons next to a country's capital is gone forever." Han Feng replied calmly but firmly.

The subtext of this sentence is that I am confident that the situation will not be turbulent.

"In this case, we have nothing to ask, let's take a look at the contract."

Liu Fangchao showed a satisfied smile, then took out two folders from his briefcase and handed them to Han Feng.
