The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The food prepared by Daniel was put on the table, and Zhang Nan was almost starving, gobbled it up at the table with chopsticks in one hand and an atlas in the other hand. "August One Chinese Language"?? W? W? W?. ㈧ 8? 1? ZW. COM

Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan were sitting across from each other. They were also studying the map, but Zhang Nan was holding a map of Australia, and Guan Xingquan was holding a map of Zimbabwe.

"Once the first mine in Canada is won, we must immediately send people to the Merlin area in the Northern Territory of Australia, where there is also a large diamond mine, which can have almost half the economic benefits of the Argyll mine."

Zhang Nan said while eating, and pointed to a point marked on the map.

The Meilin area now has “no diamond mine at all”, and Zhang Nan knows that the output of that mining area is only one twentieth of that of the Alge mine, but the diamond particles produced are large and the proportion of gem-grade is very high, reaching 65%. This is Ah Gael Mine can't compare.

Small investment in mines is small, daily production costs are also low, and half of the benefits are conservatively estimated.

When Jenny on one side heard it, she added: "Then you need to be precise. I remember that land ownership and mineral development rights in Australia are also separated, and the policy is similar to that of Canada.

However, Australians are relatively stingy, and the mineral exploration and mining rights have stricter restrictions on the land area. It seems that the maximum amount of land is 25o hectares in one approval, and the mining life is also 20 years. "

Zhang Nan curled his lips, "In 2o years plus three to four years of exploration rights, I can poke a Kimberlite to dig it up!"

Nicole, this will be a fork, a pencil, and a sticky note. He is doing some calculations, and then he says: "Allen, you said that the mine at 11o West longitude accounts for at least 3% of the world's output. Merlin, Australia. It can account for half of the Argyle mine, and the other four points in Canada add up to twice the size of the first mine.

If you eat it all, you will replace Australia as the world's largest supplier of diamonds. "

Now Australia has become the world's largest supplier of gem-quality diamonds by relying on an Argyll mine. According to the most conservative estimate, Zhang Nan can be "rich in a country" alone!

"It's hard to say that Botswana's current diamond production is soaring, and it may replace Australia's leading position, but there is the traditional sphere of influence of Delbis, and it is impossible for us to intervene."

The point in this table is Jenny, who is studying the map of Africa.

Botswana started from the diamond mine in the 1960s. In the past 20 years, Delbis has invested heavily in it and has a very good relationship with the local government. Even if we know that Botswana’s annual output of rough diamonds will be worth about 100 billion in 20 years. Zhang Nan can't help it with US dollars.

Go to Botswana to grab the job of Delbis?

Unless you go all out to prevent the mercenaries from turning that country upside down, and by the way, fight with the armed forces hired by the giant Delbis for 300 rounds in Black Africa-you can't do it at all, and your current energy still can't compete with Delby. The Big Mac ratio of Si.

"Botswana doesn't have to think about it, think about Zimbabwe." Nan couldn't help but cursed when he said this: "Damn, I hate dealing with Africa!"

Yes, Xiang Zhangsheng talked about Zimbabwe "in the beginning" and is familiar with it because he has been working for two or three years. Zhang Nan has seen the photos of those mining areas. On the map of Zimbabwe today, Zhang Nan has drawn the shape of the mining areas with a pencil, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Today Zimbabwe’s diamond production is very small, and that huge diamond mining area will not be discovered until more than a decade, and it can bring itself at least US$400 million in rough diamonds a year.

In addition, the labor costs over there are low enough to compare with India, and there will be at least 300 million yuan in net profit every year.

Except for the senior management and necessary technical personnel, the workers generally have to be recruited locally in mining mines abroad. This is related to the employment rate: no country will allow the workers in the mines on their own land to be foreigners!

In Canada, mining is still in a remote area. Zhang Nan knows that those workers usually work on a 12-hour work day, work on shifts, and then take a small plane to go home and rest for two weeks after every two weeks of hard work.

Nowadays, the salary of a Canadian or Australian miner in one month is almost the total income of a Chinese worker in 5 to 10 years. It belongs to an Indian...

I don’t know how to be too lazy, anyway, the annual salary of the workers in the country will be an astronomical figure!

In Black Africa, even if one’s heart is not dark, there is no need to give those local miners so much vacation time. I am not a charity, and I work harder and earn more money. The 8-hour work system is nonsense, and the black buddies themselves would not agree to rest like that.

Give one day a week a holiday to be a conscientious boss!

Rough diamonds have a profit of 300 million yuan, and if the follow-up income is included, at least 50 to 800 million US dollars a year-this is not a blow, diamonds are so profitable!

But thinking of those governments in Africa, Zhang Nan shook his head straight!

Xiang Weirong laughed there after listening, and then said: "It's hard to say whether other African countries are good or not, but Zimbabwe will not be particularly troublesome, at least when it comes to approving mining rights, because you are a Chinese."

Yes, if Chinese people go to Zimbabwe this time, they must be very popular. Traditional friendship, and on the day of Zimbabwe's independence, China has established diplomatic relations with them.

However, Zhang Nan sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, I am still an American in this matter. At least I have to use the background of the American financial consortium to come forward. For a multi-billion-dollar business a year, Nicole or Thomas can come forward. Worry..."

If I didn't say it thoroughly, it would be nice to experience it.

What Xiang Weirong said just now also leaves room for approval: at the time of approval!

In the face of huge profits, which can be higher than the total income of the entire country, it is hard to say whether the black buddies can still treat you as a brother of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Just a few months before Zhang Nan's rebirth, the Zimbabwean government did a simple and rude thing that irritated many people all over the world!

At the time of 2016, Zimbabwe was already the eighth largest diamond producer in the world, and most of the diamonds were produced in the area enclosed by Zhang Nan. As a result, investors from many countries were attracted to Zimbabwe, a southern African country, to invest in the mining industry.

However, at the beginning of the year, the Zimbabwe government forcibly shut down major diamond mining companies in the country, requiring these companies to merge with the government as the "major shareholder", with the government holding 5o% of the shares, and other investors allocating the remaining 5o% of the shares. .

This rude measure affected a total of 100 million U.S. dollars of investment from foreign investors from South Africa, China, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, etc.!

Although the government of Zimbabwe has given many reasons for "reducing illegal diamond transactions", "increasing government revenue" and so on~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the simplicity and rudeness of the specific operation of this measure still arouses investors' doubts about investment risks in Zimbabwe. .

Not to mention the investors of those diamond mines: it's a clear grab! The formalities were legal before, but a word will take away most of your family assets!

Companies ignore it, and they can’t manage their finances. Everyone robbed them! Then the local government dispatched armed police, which, to put it bluntly, dispatched troops into the mining area and forcibly disbanded the mine protection teams of enterprises from various countries.

Then...then it's nothing, then...

Thomas is here, and has been listening before, and when he hears it, he can’t help but say: "Boss, if you really want to mine in Black Africa, you must have a strong armed force as a backing, and you need a private army! "

"Defense contractor company? Do you have a good candidate? I will have such a company next year at the latest. With so many mines, even in Canada and Australia, formal security forces are needed."

The defense company sounds nice, and to put it bluntly, it is not much different from a mercenary. Not only can you serve yourself, but you can also use war to support wars, and take on various security and war operations.
