After dinner, he didn't rush to see what was in the box. He called Anne over and followed him to the living room on the second floor, and hooked to the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down and say."

"Today that Taylor talked to me about South Ferris Ridge. Their company is interested in selling shares in the "New South American Joint Venture". What do you think?"

"It depends on what you think by the boss. If you are confident in the future ore price, of course it will be worth buying it."

"What I worry about is not this matter, but the funding issue. They intend to sell 20% of their shares. How much does it cost if I buy them all?"

Seeing Anne was about to say something, he waved his hand to stop him, "You don't need to say anything about those professional terms, just use something I can understand."

"kindness!"

Anne nodded: "According to the agreement between Hiroke and Vale, both of them invested $1 billion each, accounting for 49% and 51% respectively. If you want to take over that 20% of the shares, it is not considered a premium, and the shares alone will require $400 million."

"But Mr. Fang doesn't have to worry, the money is invested in batches. Including the 11% of your previous shares, you will need to invest about 155,000 US dollars a year within three years."

Not sure, he was shocked by this calculation. One hundred and fifty million, or US dollars, just listening to this number made him feel suffocated.

He was from Japan and Russia during this period. He took money everywhere and added a dollar, which made him a little discouraged. It seems that he is really not a material to make money.

I have been struggling for almost a year, but now I have created a small company. I wonder if the company's annual profit is enough for the interest of 50 million US dollars!

“Is there any more?”

"The other thing is the agreement between you and Mr. Taylor."

"Okay, I get it, you go first, let me think about it."

When Annie left, he sat alone on the sofa thinking about the money. He was not too worried about the funds. Not to mention anything else, the piles of gold and jewelry in the space alone were enough to take those shares.

The main problem he is thinking about now is the future development problem. It turns out that it would be a waste of money. It is a waste of thinking. Now it is different. As long as he does not engage in large-scale investment and development, he will have enough money to play with his cash flow.

Another thing is about Hiroke Company. If he takes 31% of the shares, he will definitely have to participate in management. But Hiroke Company also needs to participate in management, which makes him a little unhappy.

The so-called: I would rather make the chicken head than the phoenix tail, and I would forget it if I pay some money to wait for dividends. But since we have to manage it, we must not be led by others. The Hirok Company is still dominating 18% of its shares. It is obvious that I want to wait to recover from it later.

When he thought that there might be other troubles in the future, he was worried and regretted his rash investment in this new South American joint venture.

Cooperating with a monopoly group like Vale in Brazil is tantamount to seeking a slut. When I heard of Vale's famous name, I agreed to invest in it when I was so angry.

But later after the contract was signed, I found out that the South Ferris Ridge was a barren land, which was a waste of food for the Vale and a pity to abandon it, so Rashilok Company came to invest.

Vale relied on its monopoly advantage to attack everywhere, and acquired Canadian Inco in 2007 and Australian AMCI in 2008, and is believed to be planning to acquire Xstrata.

Vale, a super-large state-owned enterprise that has built uses tax incentives to grant franchise rights, controls scarce resources in areas such as railways, highways, ports and capital markets, and excludes competitors. If Fang Yuanshan cooperates with him, it is tantamount to being in an extremely weak position, so he must think carefully about how to get a kick?

I can't believe the words of Taylor, the old fox. Now the entire market economy is declining, so it's not that easy for him to find a seller.

This is not a bad person, it sounds nice to say, but it costs real money. He doesn't believe they can find people so quickly. Moreover, they have contracts with Vale and have to invest a lot of money every month, so they will definitely not be able to afford it.

Thinking about these messy things upstairs for more than two hours in a flash. Several women downstairs leaned together and whispered; Locke and the others were also looking at the things on the computer, not knowing what they were doing.

When he saw Locke and Fang Yuanshan, he realized that he had not called the "Adolf" yet! He took out the phone from his pocket and found the phone number of the Minister of the Field Department and dialed it over.

"Hello Mr. Fang, is there anything wrong?"

"Well, is that British Lance your employee?"

"Lance? His contract has expired, and he is now a free person. What? Mr. Fang, do you want to hire him?"

When he heard that Lance was no longer part of the Blackwater Company, he couldn't help but sweat and asked him without asking. This seemed a bit bad, making people think he wanted to poach!

"Yeah, I think he's very good, so I want to hire him."

"Sorry, Mr. Fang, I'm afraid I can't make any decision. You can try to contact him. Do you need me to call you?"

"All right!"

He hung up the phone and didn't call Lance. It seemed a bit inappropriate for him to call him rashly. It would be better for Locke to ask about this matter.

He was fine for the time being, and he remembered the box again. Shi Shiran walked down the stairs and went to the basement along the small door on the side. The light above his head illuminated the basement as bright as day. He turned around and closed the door carefully before he walked in.

I put out the black box and a crisp sound came from the place where the box touched the floor with a "bang". It was obvious that the box was not gold or copper.

After searching in the vault, I couldn't find a rag. I had no choice but to find a T-shirt I had worn before from the space. I used a cotton T-shirt to wipe the box carefully. The heavy box was already felt during the process of wiping it.

The moss and black rust on the box were removed, and the box revealed its original appearance. The square copper box was covered with patina on it and could not be wiped off. There were some round rivets at the four corners. A flower lock was hung in the middle of the box opposite him. Judging from the shape, it looked very similar to the European Renaissance.

With the hardness of the locking box, he would even pull it hard, but considering that this box might be considered an antique, I would just forget it.

I bent down and lifted the lock up and looked at it. The shape of this lock is very beautiful. If it is apart from copper rust, this lock can be used as a ornament. However, it is the previous lock core. It must be less complicated, and the decoration of this lock is greater than its actual purpose.

He took out a wire from the space and took out the impurities in the keyhole. He poked the wire in the keyhole with the light above his head, but unfortunately he didn't move at all. Later, he slapped his head and remembered that this box had been soaked in the sea water for a long time, so the spring inside probably had no use.

"Ah, is such a beautiful lock really destroyed?"

I don’t know if it’s because I’m depressed or because I’m distracted when I’m trying to figure it out. The hand holding Hualuo was obviously too strong. With a "click", the lock on the box was removed...

"I. Fuck..." Fang Yuanshan, who was holding the flower lock, suddenly burst into laughter and crying.

Seeing that the box without locks had a gap exposed, he had no choice but to put the lock aside first.

Gently open the lid of the box, "Wow" the sea water in half of the box, and water stains are slowly leaking around the box.

There was a safe in this basement. In order to prevent the water from flooding, he reached in and took out all the things inside and placed them on the ground aside.

There was nothing special in the box, all of them were oxidized gold coins, and there were some women's ornaments, and a small round bead inside was something he sensed. The feeling of holding it in his hand became much stronger.

I lost my original appearance after soaking in the sea for a long time. Apart from feeling a little heavier, there is no special place. I threw it in my hand, and it looked like half a pound.

Put things you don’t understand first. The space does not have a strong sense of this thing, which means it does not require such things too much. Maybe it can be sold for some money in the future!

The T-shirt that had just wiped the box was piled with gold coins. He had just turned these gold coins by hand, and they were all very light, at most four or five grams per piece. There were quite a lot of them, and it looked at least three or four thousand, but after calculation, it wasn't much. It was only ten or twenty kilograms.

The price of gold has only risen to 240 per gram now. These ancient gold must have impurities. After this calculation, he immediately looked disappointed and stretched out his hand to put all the gold coins into space.

There were a few remaining ornaments that could not tell the original appearance. He also put them all in the space. It was already at an hour and he had no time to continue checking here.

When they returned to the house, Yuan Gaoyang and Jonson stood inside like javelins. Fang Yuanshan laughed and said, "What are you doing there?"

Yuan Gaoyang's face followed and said with a smile: "Stand for a while to practice your energy, otherwise it will be deteriorated after a long time."

"Oh, then you practice!"

He turned around and asked, "By the way. Are you familiar with Lance, are you?"

"Yes. Is there anything wrong with the boss looking for him?"

"Yeah! I want to hire him, what do you think?"

"A very good idea. In the future, your boss will be under his surveillance within 500 meters."

"Damn, that awesome?"

Yuan Gaoyang smiled, nodded and said, "Yes! But his annual salary is very high."

“How tall is it?”

"It's about $1 million!"

Fang Yuanshan understood below that if the price was in Hei Shui Company, it would probably have to double. The company helped them take on tasks and provide equipment support, including intelligence support. These are not just talk.

Yes! The elites from these special forces are asking for high prices and may not be used for a long time. It seems that it is completely unnecessary to hire them at such a high price. If you have this money, you can find an ordinary mercenary.

But Fang Yuanshan didn't think so. Locke's professional skills, social background, methods of handling things, etc. made him think that the money spent was worth the money.
