Chapter 396 Investing in the Kangkola Copper Mine
Not only Nigeria has proposed such huge preferential conditions, but other African countries such as "Chad, Cameroon, Sudan, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, a small group of countries such as Ivory Coast, Zambia, Uganda and other countries have also offered such favorable terms. discount.

In order to attract foreign investment, these countries in Africa are also fighting!
"Fizz."

After hearing these words, Hu Yang suddenly felt a toothache.Is this really a business?Are you sure it's not the Warring States Contest game?

"Manager Yu, in that case, I am mobilizing some security personnel from China. From now on, we will also equip the security personnel with the necessary weapons, and you will handle the specific procedures."

Toothaches belong to toothaches, but there is a saying in China called "do as the Romans do", so let's do it.

Next, Hu Yangyou listened to Yu Yue's report on the site selection of the base station and the laying of optical cables in the early stage. He didn't leave the office until noon.

"Ajie, can you find a way to recruit enough people?"

Adding more security personnel requires a lot of cost and expenditure, but Hu Yang thinks it is worth it, after all, human life is greater than heaven.

"It's not a big problem. I'll call back and ask Ah Wen to take charge of the matter. They will come over in ten and a half months."

Hu Yang plans to recruit 10 more security personnel to stay in Africa. Of course, the newly recruited personnel belong to Mingkang Communications.

After returning to the hotel, Hu Yang and his party ate something in the restaurant, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Hu Yang also took a nap for more than half an hour, and then he was woken up by a phone call.Wu Gang called. He asked Hu Yang if he was free now. He and Xia Guoheng wanted to visit the hotel.

"Then you guys come here, I just have nothing to do this afternoon."

Hu Yang didn't expect Wu Gang and Xia Guoheng to be so urgent. He originally planned to wait for Gao Mingkang to be transferred out of the intensive care unit before contacting them.

"Okay, we can get to the Radisson Hotel in about an hour."

Wu Gang put down the phone, went to find Xia Guoheng, and then set off for the Radisson Hotel together.

Hu Yang lived in a business suite with a reception room.When Wu Gang and the others arrive, they can discuss things here.

Hu Yang put down his mobile phone, walked to the desk, and took out the map of Zambia from the drawer.This map is in English, and Populus euphratica has marked the location of the Kangkola Copper Mine on it.

Populus euphratica doesn't have much impression of this copper mine.But he remembered a classic case in that time and space.The domestic mining giant Bauhinia Mining invested 25 billion yuan to buy a copper mine in Africa. Several years later, with the continuous in-depth mining, the proven reserves of the copper mine also increased a lot.

According to the evaluation, the copper mine of Bauhinia Mining is worth [-] trillion yuan, and the assets have doubled within ten years.

Of course, this kind of assessment may not be very accurate, but it also reflects the irreplaceability of mineral resources from one aspect.

"Mr. Hu, we came here uninvited, so don't take offense. I don't like to play tricks, and I can't let go of things, and I wish I could solve them right away."

Xia Guoheng still looks carefree, but Hu Yang is good at observing people's hearts. If anyone treats Xia Guoheng as a big boss, he will probably be cheated to death by him.

"Lao Xia, Mr. Hu is not a stingy person at first glance, how could he be offended? Don't talk nonsense, sit down quickly."

Wu Gang was sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face. He and Xia Guoheng had always been good at one singing the red face and the other singing the bad face, and they cooperated with each other tacitly.

Hu Yang shook his head with a smile, and said: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Xia, we don't need to use this between us, right? Hurry up, show me the investment plan. If you can invest, you can't. people."

When Xia Guoheng heard it, he couldn't help laughing.

Wu Gang also smiled: "Old Xia, what did I say before? Mr. Hu is a top expert in the investment field, and some of the little tricks we are used to are useless here. Mr. Hu, don't mind, We were just joking with you."

At this time, Xia Guoheng opened his briefcase and took out a stack of documents from it.

Hu Yang took the materials and began to read them carefully.

The Kangkola Copper Mine has been operated by an Anglo-American joint venture mining company in the past few years, but this company did not arrive at a good time.In the past few years, the price of copper has been falling all the way, and this mine has also been in a state of loss.

At the end of last year, the company couldn't stand it anymore, so it withdrew its capital and left.

Xia Guoheng and Wu Gang felt that this was an opportunity, so they joined forces to form Huagang Mining Company, which took over the Kangkola Copper Mine and all its equipment and facilities.

"Mr. Hu, take your time. I'll tell you about some situations."

Seeing that Hu Yang began to flip through the materials back and forth, Wu Gang added a few words aside.

He and Xia Guoheng were both laymen in the mining industry before, and the management team they took over was simply a bunch of scumbags.It was only after they re-recruited the management team that they discovered a problem. In order to be profitable in the current price range, the scale of the mine had to continue to expand.

But Wu Gang and Xia Guoheng did not have sufficient funds, so they thought of seeking financing.

"You two, with a financing amount of US$4 million, only 39% of the equity will be given. Who will do it? In addition, what you plan to seek is financial investment? The company's business does not allow outsiders to interfere at all, which is a bit too much."

Unlike in China, there is no problem in making financial investment in Populus euphratica in China.This is in Africa. It is difficult for him to supervise effectively without investing so much money and not allowing him to participate in operation and management.

Xia Guoheng and Wu Gang looked at each other, and they had initially learned how powerful Populus euphratica is.They had also looked for other investors before, but they encountered either insufficient strength, or the lion opened their mouths, but in the end they failed to negotiate.

Seeing the passage of time, the two became more and more anxious.

"Mr. Hu, you are an expert, and we don't play tricks in front of you. Make a price and let's see."

The reason Xia Guoheng asked Hu Yang to become a monk was to see how big his appetite was.

"$4 million investment, 49% equity, two board seats, operations and finances need my people!"

Hu Yang put down the documents in his hand, snapped his fingers and stated his conditions.

"Hey, I said, you are more ruthless than those people!"

Wu Gang was almost annoyed, and he put on pressure on Hu Yang with a frantic look.

Hu Yang rolled his eyes, not bothering to watch him perform.He also discovered that Fatty Wu is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

The two sides came and went, fighting with each other, but they did not expect to find a consensus in the end.

"Mr. Hu, an investment of 4 million US dollars, 45% of the equity, a seat on the board of directors, a position of vice president of operations and a position of financial director. What do you think?"

Xia Guoheng and the two finally made concessions and raised the conditions a bit.

"Okay, deal!"

Hu Yang said something lazily, which made Wu Gang and Xia Guoheng unable to react for a long time.

"Mr. Hu, you mean you agreed to the conditions just now?"

Wu Gang had an unbelievable expression on his round face. He always thought that the negotiation might last for many days. Why did the other party agree all of a sudden?
"Didn't you hear that? I said it was a deal."

Hu Yang smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

"I'll go! It seems that our offer is still too high. If I had known it, I would have cut it down again. Hey, don't say it, it will be tears if you talk too much."

Xia Guoheng was talking nonsense, but his subordinates were not idle, and quickly recorded the conditions that everyone had negotiated before.

"Secretary Liu, print it out and bring it to me."

Afterwards, Xia Guoheng called his secretary in. It seemed that he wanted to form the consensus reached by the two parties into a document.

"Mr. Xia, just get out the investment agreement, and we'll sign it when it's done."

Hu Yang looked at the ashtray on the coffee table, these two old buddies were really heavy smokers, and within a short while, the ashtray was full.

Regarding the matter of investing in the Kangkola Copper Mine, he does not plan to pass the decision-making committee again.Because he has the bottom line in his heart, he doesn't need everyone to provide him with reference suggestions.

To put it bluntly, the investment project of 4 million US dollars is really calm in Hu Yang's heart.

Xia Guoheng's secretary went out and quickly finished the investment agreement. Many people came to their side today, and then Wu Gang went to the hotel to rent a small conference room from them.

There was a lawyer among Wu Gang and his group, Hu Yang thought about it, and called Yu Yue to send the person who knew the law.Currently in the local area, the legal department of Mingkang Communications has sent this person, and it is no problem for him to help check the general investment agreement.

Previously, when Wu Gang and Xia Guoheng established Huagang Mining, the two parties each contributed 2 million US dollars.Now Hu Yang invested another 4 million U.S. dollars, and the capital of Huagang Mining became 8 million U.S. dollars.

Among them, China Railway Construction and China Power Construction, represented by Wu Gang and Xia Guoheng, respectively hold 27.5% of the company's shares, and Huijia International Investment, represented by Hu Yang, holds 45% of the company's shares.

The investment agreement was signed on the spot, and Xia Guoheng should be very happy, but he always felt that things went too smoothly today, and the smoothness made him feel nervous.

Wu Gang didn't feel this way, he felt very lucky.Hu Yang's investment of 4 million US dollars came very timely, otherwise he and Xia Guoheng would have been losing money forever.

Hu Yang had a panoramic view of the expressions of the two, and he secretly laughed in his heart, wondering what kind of reaction they would have when the copper price started to rise in a few months?
However, this question is actually a false proposition.The prices of international bulk commodities have always fluctuated, sometimes fluctuating greatly, and few people can accurately predict them.

If anyone really has this ability, they don't need to invest in copper mines. Wouldn't it be faster to make money by going directly to copper futures?
Of course, there is still a difference between the price trend of futures and spot prices, and Hu Yang just thinks so.

In the evening, Xia Guoheng, Wu Gang and Hu Yang had dinner at the hotel restaurant.During the banquet, there was a lot of drinking, and Xia Guoheng, who wanted to get drunk with Populus euphratica, was beaten down by Populus euphratica.
