When Zhou Han returned to Drake, he did not take a helicopter. The road between Drake and Peimei that was washed away by the flood was finally repaired after half a month.

It happened that Juan Mantal and Bram, who were blocked by the flood from returning to Peimei, arrived at Drake half a day ahead of her. When Zhou Han arrived at the hotel, Cao Mo was accompanying Juan Mantal and Bram.

We rushed to the east bank of the Wusang River to inspect the resettlement camps for the victims and the exploration operations on the east bank of the river.

Zhou Han took a car directly and went around to the east bank of the Wusang River to meet Cao Mo and the others.

After contacting Yang Xiaofeng to meet at Dracula and rescuing Yan Zhicheng from prison, Zhou Han left Drake for half a month and went to the exploration operation area camp on the east bank of the Wusang River to see the Stru Gold Mining Company.

On the basis of the original three exploration wells, in addition to replacing equipment and cables and continuing to drill and sample deeper porphyry layers, two brand new exploration wells were also set up non-stop and were successfully drilled two days ago.

Not affected by this flood disaster...

Preliminary construction is also underway at the camp. More than 20 containers were hauled from the town and set up on concrete foundations to build a row of offices and a row of staff dormitories. Four sets of high-power diesel generators roared, and the containers were rebuilt.

The offices and dormitories are equipped with air conditioning, and the conditions are many times better than the first night they arrived at Drake.

No one knew why Zhou Han suddenly left for half a month, and Zhou Han wouldn't say anything. She sat in Kabuga and Yututan's offices for a while to learn about the progress of the exploration operations here, and then she saw Cao

Mo and Stari walked back.

"Where are Juan Mantar and Brahm?" Zhou Han asked strangely.

"There is going to be a meeting within the Democratic Promotion Front. As non-party members, we are not suitable to sit there and observe," Cao Mo said. "Let's go back to the town first. Juan Mantar, Brahm and the others will have a meeting."

It will take some time for Kabuga and Xiao Jun to accompany them to meet up..."

"If I had known I would have stayed in the town and not been able to come over!" Zhou Han complained angrily.

She has been running around non-stop these days, which is very hard. The cement bridge on the Wusang River that was washed away by the flood has not yet been repaired. It takes more than 30 kilometers to go from the town to the camp on the east bank. The road is muddy and bumpy, which is very uncomfortable.

.

After sitting in the car, Zhou Hancai said: "I have arranged everything over there. Yang Xiaofeng and the others did not get a penny from Liang Yuan. They have been looking for traces of Liang Yuan for the past two or three months. I contacted Yang Xiaofeng

They should make Liang Yuan wary and not easily appear in London - who did you arrange to go to London to contact the Stru Gold Mining Company?"

"You contacted Yang Xiaofeng, which prompted Liang Yuan to inform Strut directly. Fortunately, Liang Yuan didn't have any exact information, and he didn't dare to show his face in London, so naturally he couldn't instigate anything," Cao Mo said,

"I entrusted Stali's brother to personally find the three main investors of Stru Gold Mining Company who are living in seclusion in London. Yesterday, they just negotiated an acquisition agreement to acquire 53% of their shares in Stru Gold Mining Company for US$40 million.

…”

"So expensive?" Zhou Han was shocked.

She knew that Cao Mo didn't have much cash in hand, and he might have to scrape together $40 million in cash. She didn't expect that he would have to pay so much for 53% of the shares of the Stru Gold Mining Company, which was in debt and was running unsustainably.

High price.

Ever since they decided to cooperate with the Front for the Promotion of Democracy to expose Uve Bonilla's coup attempt, the Stru Gold Mining Company came into Cao Mo's sight.

However, at that time, the main focus was on collecting exploration data from Strew Gold Mining Company in the Drake area.

As far as the exploration rights are concerned, there is a continuity relationship, but after the Stru Gold Mining Company was expelled from Akwa, the mineral exploration in the Drake area has been owned by the Akwa National Petroleum and Minerals Group.

Cao Mo and the others cooperated with the Akwa National Petroleum and Mineral Group to obtain new exploration rights. Whether they form a joint venture or independently mine the minerals beneath Drake, there will be no major problems.

Therefore, there was no need to pay too much attention to the existence of Stru Gold Mining Company before.

Until he suspected that there might be a super-large copper-gold mine on the east bank of the Wusang River, Cao Mo was worried that Stru Gold Mining Company's pursuit of the exploration rights in the Drake area might be exploited by interested parties - it would be difficult for the other party to actually take away the exploration rights, fearing that

Fearing that a lengthy lawsuit might freeze the development of the Wusang River copper-gold mine, Cao Mocai seriously investigated the situation of Stru Gold Mining Company.

This British gold mining company has a long history of more than 120 years in Akwa. As early as the 1940s, it entered Drake to mine gold. It can even be said that Drake has the largest scale in history.

The shallow gold deposits were mined by Stru Gold Mining Company.

Strew Gold Mining Company also received huge returns from Drake, but these returns were pocketed by investors as dividends, and Strew Gold Mining Company itself did not develop into a large mining group.

The military coup launched by Sewiy ten years ago was a drastic change for the country of Akwa, and the same was true for the Stru Gold Mining Company.

In addition to the two gold mines in Mamba and Maritime Province being directly expropriated, and the gold exploration rights in Mamba, Drake and Maritime Province being directly canceled, Stru Gold Mining Company remained in Akwa at that time.

The territory, including large and small equipment, and fixed assets of up to 200 million US dollars, are also state-owned by Akwa Petroleum and Mining Group.

After this heavy blow, in order to repay debts, Stru Gold Mining Company still retained the last gold mine in Benin to continue mining, but it was unable to increase investment; investors did not dare to face the treacherous and changeable political situation in West Africa.

How much more investment to make.

The last gold mine held by Stru Gold Mining Company in Benin has been continuously mined for more than fifteen years. The shallow rich ore zone has long been mined out. Although the remaining poor ore areas still have considerable potential reserves,

It is considerable, but the mining and refining costs are high.

In addition, Stru Gold Mining Company is unwilling to update its equipment. Even today, when international gold mines have risen to US$600 per ounce, the operation of this gold mine is still unable to make ends meet.

If debt and other factors are excluded, the core assets of the entire Stru Gold Mining Company may be less than US$30 million.

Cao Mo now only acquires slightly more than half of the equity of Stru Gold Mining Company, which requires him to spend 4,000 yuan.

Ten thousand US dollars, this price can be said to be a bit high, it is simply a huge hemorrhage.

"Now it is basically confirmed that Liang Yuan has been in contact with Han Shaorong. Maybe Han Shaorong will not trust Liang Yuan much now, but as long as we contact Stru Company, Han Shaorong's attention will soon be attracted - we have no bargaining

Time." Cao Mo smacked his lips and said.

Cao Mo himself felt that he was at a great loss, and even if Stru Gold Mining Company trusted the information provided by Liang Yuan, they didn't have much strength to come and disrupt the situation, but he was more worried about Han Shaorong.

Once Stru Gold Mining Company initiates its pursuit, the matter may take a long time to be resolved.

It can be said that the price for taking over the controlling stake of the Stru Gold Mining Company is a bit high, but thinking from another perspective, of course they cannot jump out stupidly and pursue the Stru Gold Mining Company that was destroyed in Akwa ten years ago.

Confiscated assets, but the two gold mines in Mamba and Maritime Province that were developed by Stru Gold Mining Company, do they have the priority to cooperate and invest?

What really gave Cao Mo a headache was that his already depleted capital pool was suddenly squeezed clean again.

Even if the east bank of the Wusang River is mined as a medium-sized copper and gold mine, investment would require hundreds of millions of dollars to expand the situation.

Back at the manor, Zhou Han took a hot bath and took a short rest before Kabuga, Xiao Jun and others accompanied Juan Mantal, Bram and Mei Mantal back.

We haven’t seen each other for half a month. Mei Mantar is very haggard. Even the light application of Bodai can’t cover up the dark circles under her eyes. Zhou Han was shocked. He didn’t expect that in just half a month, things about the disaster relief camp would be about to come to an end.

She was so upset.

Looking at her yawning and standing next to Juan Mantal, she doesn't have the cold and arrogant attitude she had when she first met Drake. She may be really frustrated.

Before that, Cao Mo had already shown Juan Mantar the raw data on the exploration of the east bank of the Usan River by Stru Gold Mining Company ten years ago.

Treated as a medium-sized copper and gold mine, Juan Mantal's help is now more urgently needed to include the Usan River copper and gold mine project in the first batch of pilot projects to allow foreign companies to invest in the Akwa mining industry.

List.

In this way, Cao Mo will be able to independently obtain the mining rights on the east bank of the Wusang River after the reorganization of the Yibogu Gold Mining Group, and avoid the loopholes that may remain in the establishment of a joint venture from being exploited again.

When Juan Mantar came here this time, in addition to hoping that Cao Mo could provide as many jobs as possible for the descendants of the colonists on the east bank of the Usan River, he mainly wanted to join forces to promote the construction of the first white autonomous community on the east bank of the Usan River.

It is completely unrealistic to ask the local government to return the property expropriated ten years ago or provide corresponding compensation. It will only intensify the conflict with the main Akwa ethnic group and re-rupture the relationship that was finally reconciled.

Juan Mantar has repeatedly reprimanded May on this matter, but even if we ignore the subsequent restoration of education, job creation, internal autonomy and other matters for the time being, a community that can accommodate more than 30,000 descendants of colonists only needs infrastructure.

The cost is astonishingly high.
