1246. Don't Care
Laodao’s village is called Baima Village. It is located on the hillside of a mountain by the Nujiang River. The other villages are scattered in this mountain range. It looks not far away, but it is quite difficult to walk.
There was only one dirt road in the village. It happened to rain a few days ago, and it was full of mud. It took a while for the group to arrive in the village.
Laodao's village is the largest village in the Miao tribe, with thousands of people. Although the village is poor, the village is clean and the houses are built along the mountains and arranged in an orderly manner.
Lao Dao's home is located in the center of the village and is the best built. It has a large area and can reach five or six hundred square meters, three in and three out, so it is considered a luxury house here.
After they arrived, they settled here. Lao Dao treated them as VIP guests and treated them with good wine and meat every day.
Li Yifan was not polite and lived in Lao Dao's house, while George, Steven and others did not dare to neglect and soon became a job.
Li Yifan is like their military supervisor here. If their performance cannot satisfy Li Yifan, then if they really want to be credible, their family and friends will suffer.
So they no longer had their original posture and style. They all looked like old cows in the open land, carrying machines every day to run back and forth between the mountains and the mountains.
Lao Dao and the villagers were very helpful. Seeing that they had a lot of things, it was inconvenient for only a few people to carry them. They even organized a team to provide logistics for them.
I sent tea, water and food to them, and I helped them carry luggage and explore the equipment. This saved these guys a lot of effort.
The air in the mountains is good, there is no pollution. The food is purely natural, but after all, it is a bit out of touch with the outside world. After only a few days, Li Yifan got tired of it, so he left a few people who could supervise him on his behalf and returned to the provincial capital from the mountains.
After all, it is a waste of time to stay wherever you are, so it is more comfortable to stay in the city.
With the extra pressure like Li Yifan, George and Steven have improved their work efficiency a lot. In the past, these foreigners were not too slow when working.
I work for an hour in the morning, and then have afternoon tea, and then have lunch break after working for an hour. Then, after working for an hour in the afternoon, I have afternoon tea, and then continue working.
At the end of the day, the effective working hours are pitifully small, but they themselves are not in a hurry because their salary is paid by the hour. The longer a job is, the more salary they earn.
As for the cost of a company, it is no longer the scope of their consideration, so foreigners' efficiency has always been a big problem.
But this time, because of Li Yifan's fierceness, these guys dared not delay at all. They even took the initiative to work overtime for free, wanting to complete the work early and then leave this ghost place early.
After all, Li Yifan's group has been so scary that they will destroy other people's families at any time. The second is that they are all racists. Although Li Yifan has suppressed them, they still feel a lot of dissatisfaction with working for Chinese people.
Li Yifan didn't care what they thought, as long as they finished their work safely, it would be OK.
Two weeks passed soon. During this period, the foreigners and villagers' support team worked day and night. Finally, they had a rough understanding of the land under the feet of Lao Dao and their tribe and also came up with a rough exploration result.
The land area controlled by Lao Dao and his group is about 300 square kilometers, and of course most of them are mountainous land. If it is flat, there will definitely be not so much.
However, the reserves are indeed very rich, and some mines are even shallowly buried. You can dig a mine by digging down one or two meters on the surface. It is definitely a high-quality lead-zinc ore, and some of the ores taste more than 50%.
The proven area is roughly estimated to be as high as 1.5 million tons.
Li Yifan didn't know the reserves of these ores, and they were more or less within the range of lead and zinc ores. After all, he had never been in contact with the non-ferrous metals industry, so he flew back to the capital immediately with this exploration report.
Heidi has been waiting for his news from the capital. When she saw him returning to her with the report, she couldn't help but give him a hug.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Haha, what's this! You can check the report first, I don't know much about these."
Li Yifan said as he opened the suitcase, took the exploration report from it, and then asked Heidi to read it in the study, while he went to the bathroom.
By the time he came out of the bathroom, Heidi had already read the report. She didn't say anything, but Li Yifan could tell that she was very excited.
"What? The result is satisfying you?"
"It's not just satisfaction, we should just find a place to have a drink."
Heidi said to Li Yifan with a smile that she was in a good mood at this time.
"Don't go anywhere else today, just stay at home, I have some good things here."
Li Yifan said with a smile that this was his mansion in Yangchao District. He knew that Westerners like wine, so he specially asked someone to get some good bottles of red and white wine.
He took out one from the wine cabinet and filled Heidi with a light golden wine in the goblet, radiating a soft light. Heidi picked up the wine glass and sipped it.
"Well, but where did you get the Grand Heights ice wine? The annual output of this wine is not high."
Heidi is indeed a woman with the title of European aristocratic. People of their level, drinking is a basic skill.
This bottle of wine was brought back from Germany by Li Yifan, and the price is very high because the annual output is quite limited.
"Haha, I asked someone to get it, I know you like it."
Li Yifan replied with a smile, then took a sip of wine, and then asked again.
"I also read the exploration report. It's just a lead-zinc ore. The reserves are roughly estimated, which is only 1.5 million tons. Is this a lot? Is it worth investing? To be honest, the environment is not good. If you want to invest, you will definitely need a lot of investment. The most important thing is that the reserves and ore grade are also known by the local villagers, and their asking price is not low!"
Li Yifan asked Heidi tentatively, but Heidi was not caring. She gently shook the wine glass in her hand, looked at the light golden liquid, and kept hanging on the wall of the wine glass, and then slowly faded.
"How much do they want?"
Heidi asked casually.
"One hundred million yuan! And now it seems that many competitors have also known this news, and they don't know who leaked the news. It seems that others are also in contact with them."
Thinking about the old knife's attitude when he left, Li Yifan was a little annoyed. These people from the mountain were too dishonest.
But they are also thinking about their own business, so do they do business? Of course, those with the highest price will get it.
He didn't know about non-ferrous metals such as lead and zinc, and did not know whether the asking price of Lao Dao and others was expensive or not expensive.
However, with his influence, he dared to ask for a reserve of 1.5 million tons, which seems a bit exaggerated.
"A hundred million? Haha, give it to them! Hani, you don't know that the reserves of 1.5 million tons in this industry are actually not low. They can be regarded as a medium mineral deposit. The most important thing is that their mines are shallow, easy to mine, and the ore tastes very high and easy to refine. These are factors that need to be considered. Therefore, it is not a problem for them to ask for 100 million yuan, and it is not a problem even if they are higher. If I take this mine, I plan to invest in a local refining enterprise with an annual output of 70,000 tons, and the total investment is not much."
After Heidi said this, Li Yifan knew that Lao Dao and the others might be asking for a lot of prices, but in Heidi's eyes, this price is not expensive.
After all, his advisory group gave very accurate predictions. In the next few years, the price of such non-ferrous metal resources will rise like a sudden increase, rising by 20% a year, and 30 is not a matter of fact.
After the financial crisis, Americans were frantically turning on the money printing machine. Even if the price of such metal resources increased several times, it would not be a big problem.
And from Heidi's tone, it seems that the scale of building a refinery with an annual output of 70,000 tons is already quite large.
Heidi was still shaking the wine glass in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the house, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window.
Li Yifan felt that she seemed to have something to worry about, but she didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to ask.
After a while, Heidi said with her back to him.
"Hani, have you heard of the Rothschild family?"
"Haha, what a joke? As long as you are doing business, how many have you never heard of their name?"
If Li Yifan had never heard of the famous Red Shield family, he would have been in vain.
"Do you know they hold a secret annual meeting every year?"
Heidi's words made Li Yifan stunned. He had really heard of this, but it had never been exposed. They had always been very low-key.
However, more than ten years later, an accident was revealed by reporters that the annual meeting held by the Rothschild family in London. At that time, all the famous figures attended the annual meeting.
Not to mention the rich people around the world, even the British royal crown prince Charles and the former US president all attended, but even these powerful people were in front of the Red Shield family, which was the level of a slinger.
