Spring Thunder Chapter 0248: Leap of Class
Elko, Nevada.
Francis' exploration team has completed the exploration and has preliminarily confirmed that the Gordonstake gold mine is rich in gold reserves with huge reserves. The captain and boss of the exploration team, Francis, and his deputy are verifying the gold content.
"Aiden, how is it, have you come to a conclusion?"
"It's almost there, almost there." Aiden kept his eyes on the instrument and responded with his mouth.
Francis was anxiously walking around. According to his experience, the Gordonstake Gold Mine was definitely a rich mine, but he couldn't come to an accurate conclusion as to how rich it was.
Smoking and pacing, Francis would glance at Aiden every two seconds.
The Francis Exploration Team is a third-party exploration team hired by Scarlett. They receive a fixed commission. The richness of the mine has little to do with them. Even if they haven't found anything, they will still receive the money they are entitled to.
But why is Francis so nervous?
In fact, the reason is very simple. It's nothing more than luck. Francis' exploration team discovered a rich mine with huge reserves. This is a living signboard. Which gold mine owner doesn't want to share in the joy?
Even if the commission is a little higher, it’s fine!
How big is the difference between rich ore and poor ore?
Gold has mining costs. The poorer the ore, the higher the cost of development .
If the cost of mining each gram of gold in a gold mine exceeds the price of gold itself, then even if the gold mine has reserves of hundreds of millions of tons, it will be meaningless and you can only stare blankly and brag about it.
"Hey, beautiful lady, come with me on the yacht and I'll give you a gold mine..."
Tick-tick-tick-tick. The short needle turned two big squares, and Aiden yelled, "Fuck, Fuck!"
Francis heard the sound and ran over quickly, "How is it? How is it?"
"Francis, the Scarlett Gold Mine Company has become rich and big. The gold content per ton of ore is 47 grams on the surface, 36 grams at 50 meters, and 29 grams at 100 meters. It is a rich mine, an absolutely rich mine." Aiden shouted frantically.
"No, Aiden, not only Scarlett Company issued it, we also issued it, our Francis Exploration Team issued it. It is a super-rich gold mine with a gold reserve of more than 1,700 tons. This is an advertisement, a living advertisement."
Once the results are out, the people Scarlett left here to keep an eye on will naturally notify Scarlett immediately.
Ding dong ding dong ding dong!
The doorbell of the apartment was rang urgently.
A few seconds later, Nan Yi was thrown , and his cheeks were instantly covered with raindrops of pumpkin-colored lipstick.
"Adam, you're so awesome." Scarlett shouted, holding Nan Yi's dirty face.
"You're crazy."
Nan Yi gently pushed Scarlett away and rubbed his lower back.
When Scarlett pounced over, she knocked over Nan Yi's chair. In order to protect this dead woman, Nan Yi's lower back hit the armrest of the chair.
"I'm so happy. I thought you were a stingy person, but I didn't expect you to give me more than 1 billion US dollars in one go."
"Can you speak? Can you speak? Who is so petty?" Nan Yi felt guilty when his pigtails were grabbed and he could only cover it up with anger.
"Well, you're a generous man."
People are in high spirits when good things happen, and Scarlett was generous enough not to argue with Nan Yi.
Putting down the hand that was rubbing his lower back, Nan Yi said, "Tell me, what's the situation."
"The reserves are no less than 1,700 tons, with an average gold content of 37.3 grams. The value is no less than 18.5 billion US dollars."
"Oh, that's great. You've eaten up the mining costs?"
"You know what I mean. In the long run, the value of gold will definitely go up. This value will only go higher and higher. So, Adam, what should we do next?"
Nan Yi looked at Scarlett and smiled, "The next step is very simple. As your boyfriend, I should give your family a gift. 10% of the shares, 1.2 billion US dollars, ask your father if he wants it."
"1.2 billion, Adam, are you determined to list Scarlett Gold Mine?"
"What do you think? How can we raise funds as quickly as possible without going public? Besides, I have prepared two pieces of good news, one small and one big."
"You still have gold mines?"
"Keep it secret for now. What you need to do now is to call your father and tell him the news. By the way, as for the money, pay half first and the remaining half within two years. Also, pay an extra 10 million. This is the mining funds left in the company's account."
"600 million is a bit difficult for the Cox family to take. It may drain their liquidity."
Nan Yi rubbed his temples. "Forget it. You decide. It can't be less than 400 million US dollars. After you and your father have reached an agreement, the news about the gold mine needs to be published in the newspapers. Pan American will also have to sell off another 30% of Scarlett's shares."
"So many?" Scarlett exclaimed, "After the IPO, the shares will be diluted again. How many shares will Pan Am have left? Isn't your good news just a favor to others?"
"Think about it again." Nan Yi looked at Scarlett with a smile.
Scarlett thought about it and basically understood what Nan Yi was up to. "A gold mine is a separate company. Scarlett invested in other companies?"
"Do you know how?"
"I know, first buy stocks when bad news comes, then sell them when good news comes. However, this can easily be judged as insider trading."
"Don't tell me you don't know how to handle such a small matter?"
"Of course I can handle it." Scarlett stood up from Nan Yi's lap. "Let's go. I'll go back and make a phone call."
Scarlett walked out a few steps, then turned back and said, "By the way, that painting on the wall is disgusting."
“This is her house.”
"Then you move out as soon as possible."
"No need to bother. I won't be in New York for long. Hurry up. I need the money."
"Got it. Next time, let's talk about Pan Am's shares."
"Nothing to discuss."
"We have to talk." Scarlett left with the last words.
Nan Yi had a headache. In the near future, the valuation of Pan American Investment Holdings would surely go up to hundreds of billions. When it exceeded hundreds of billions, he would give shares to Scarlett. 1% would be 1 billion, 2% would be 2 billion, which would be very impressive.
But if they want to give it now, they have to start with 5%. If too many shares are distributed, it will shake the control of Nanshi Investment over Pan American Investment. You know, Pan American still needs to absorb other shareholders.
It's the magic of the pyramid. A vibrant company whose market value will obviously soar not only has to distribute candies, but also has to shamelessly deliver them to people's doorsteps, for fear that others will not eat them.
"Master, I'm here to bring you some candy." Nan Yi muttered to himself in self-mockery, and then consoled himself, "What master wouldn't send candy from his grandson?"
"Godfather."
Just as Nan Yi was immersed in his own consciousness, Fan Hongdou walked to his side.
"Hongdou, why aren't you watching TV?"
“It doesn’t look good.”
Nan Yi reached out his hand, took Fan Hongdou's arm, and gently pulled her to his side, "Are you bored being alone?"
"Um."
"Then godfather will take you out to play?"
"good."
Nan Yi took Fan Hongdou out to play for most of the day. When they came back, they met Nan Ruoyin and Ueto Masami who had just returned at the door. Nan Yi couldn't really let a seven-year-old girl run the company, so if he didn't go, Ueto Masami would naturally have to go with him to assist him.
"President, today..."
"Don't be so anxious to tell me. Just report to me once a week. If you lose money, let Chairman Rachel pay for it. Ruoyin, don't you agree?"
"Dad, you look down on me. I won't let Yi Gou lose money."
Nan Ruoyin snorted twice and walked straight to Nan Yi's study. His study was now also occupied by Nan Ruoyin, and the little guy would sit in it and read comics after get off work every day.
"Yamei, I have already written the development plan for Yiguo and put it in the second drawer. You guide Ruoyin to think in that direction and give her a sense of accomplishment."
"Haiyi, President, the young lady actually has a good business sense, but she is still too young. Her thinking is still fragmented and cannot be well combined to form a complete context. Given time, the young lady will definitely grow up."
"Well, call Rachel and ask her if she has time to come over for dinner. If not, ask her to come over tomorrow during the day."
"I'll be there right away."
…
After hearing the news that Rachel had time to come over, Nan Yi went into the kitchen and put a large pot of beef brisket stewed with potatoes, a pot of edamame that he had prepared in advance, and a large pot of rice on the stove.
Wearing medical gloves, a mask, and diving goggles, he cut a bowl of onions on the chopping board, added some salt, stirred them in the bowl, and then put them aside.
After taking off the equipment, he cut up various fruits and made a fruit salad.
In an hour and a half, the beef brisket stewed with potatoes, salted edamame, cold onions, and fruit salad were ready. Five portions were served first, and the rest were put in large basins for the colonel and his men to take to the sky garden.
When Nan Yi placed the five large glass basins on the dining table, the doorbell rang.
"Hi, Adam." Rachel walked into the dining room and hugged Nan Yi, then let go and showed the bottle of red wine in her hand, "Shall we drink this tonight?"
Nan Yi glanced at the label of the red wine. If he was not mistaken, it was the table wine that was being promoted in the convenience store attached to the Columbus Apartments. It was priced at 19.9 yuan, buy one get one free.
It's really just a courtesy!
"You and Yamei drink. Beer goes better with today's dinner." Nan Yi asked Rachel to sit down, and he went to the side to open the red wine.
Sitting at the head seat at the table with the opened red wine and a wine glass, Nan Yi first helped the two little girls to eat, and then served himself some rice and poured two spoonfuls of potato and beef brisket on it.
After eating a few bites, Nan Yi wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at Rachel and said, "I'd like to introduce you to my eldest daughter, Akasa, and my second daughter, Rachel, the chairman of Yiguo Company. You will arrange Yiguo's legal work in the future."
Rachel raised her goblet and gestured to Nan Ruoyin, "Chairman Rachel, please contact me if you have any legal questions."
Nan Ruoyin also raised her juice, "Thank you!"
After the two of them finished exchanging pleasantries, Nan Yi changed the topic and started talking about football, lipstick colors, and movies, all general topics aimed at livening up the atmosphere at the dinner table.
After dinner, Nan Yi and Rachel each carried a bottle of beer and walked to the railing of the sky garden.
"Scarlett Gold Mining Company discovered a gold mine worth 18.5 billion US dollars." After taking a sip of beer, Nan Yi went straight to the point.
"Congratulations, Boss."
"Congratulations."
Nan Yi clinked the beer bottle with Rachel's and took another sip.
“Scarlett’s shares will be liquidated as soon as possible, including the 400 million U.S. dollars paid by the Cox family first, plus the other 30% of the shares I plan to liquidate, and the 10% half-sale buy-and-leave;
In a short period of time, Pan Am will have more than $3 billion in its account. This money cannot be left lying around in the account, it must be spent.”
"Boss, what's your plan?"
“Of course, I have to acquire shares in several companies first. First, in Microsoft, I want to own no less than 5% and no more than 15% of the shares, and I want to have a certain say in the board of directors.
Second, Wal-Mart not only has to contact various shareholders, but also has to buy in the secondary market, taking as much as it can within a controllable cost range;
The shares held in secret and disclosed to the public cannot exceed 2%.
Third, Best Buy. This company has been established for 16 years and should be listed soon. Acquire as much as you can, and then sell most of it after the thawing period after listing depending on the situation. Just hold a small amount.
Fourth, Motorola also adopted a two-pronged approach, publicly acquiring from shareholders and hiding in the secondary market.
I estimate that it won't cost 1.5 billion to complete these acquisitions, so we'll make a budget of 1.5 billion and spend as much as needed. The unspent money will remain in Pan Am's account.
Another $1.5 billion will be used to establish Scarlett Grain Group, which is independent of Pan American Investments, to acquire farms and ranches in Montana, as many as possible, as long as they are worth acquiring. "
"What should we do with the remaining 3 billion?"
"How much will it cost to switch to Nanshi Investment Holdings without leaving any trouble?"
Rachel thought for a moment and said, "If time is sufficient, only 10% is needed. If time is tight, 30% is also possible."
"Half a year?"
"One and a half percent is enough."
15%, 450 million US dollars, Nan Yi’s teeth hurt so much.
"What if I give you a year?"
"It doesn't need to be 10%, around 7% is enough."
Nan Yi calculated and said, "If you can accept it, I will give you one year. Congratulations, by this time next year, you will get 0.025% of Pan American Investment Holdings' shares."
Rachel calculated in her mind that the current valuation of 0.025% of the shares is no less than 5 million US dollars. Once the stocks to be acquired are in place, the valuation will increase.
Most importantly, according to Nan Yi's plan, Pan American's future shareholders will all be heavyweight American consortiums. Rachel will become Pan American's only individual shareholder, and her class will soon rise.
"Thank you, Boss."
"Just call me Adam from now on. We can be casual with each other."
"OK, Adam."
"I will design a share increase plan. The specific amount of increase each year depends on your performance."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Rachel was really grateful to Nan Yi. It had only been a few days since she doubted and hesitated to receive the benefits she has now. She now firmly believed that her original choice was the right one.
