#206 - Chapter 206 Big Liar! Invest 5 billion, all the mines in Pingnan belong to me!
Hanteng Group Headquarters.
CEO's office.
A box of pastries sat on the desk.
Xia Qingyan held a cup of coffee, leisurely enjoying her afternoon tea.
Whenever a new product went into production, that period would be very busy, and now it was finally a little easier.
She was in a good mood.
Because the LCD TVs were selling like crazy?
No!
Even with 200,000 units sold out on the first day of launch, the net profit was less than 600 million.
With Chuangshiji's production capacity, a daily output of only a few tens of thousands of units, how much money could they make?
Overseas orders were the real deal!
The ex-factory price in China was 4200, with a profit of less than 3000 yuan.
What about overseas?
1200 US dollars per unit!
In the past two days, Chen Hao and Ren Xue had been running around every day, securing a total of 32 overseas orders.
A total value of 24.2 billion — US dollars!
The net profit from this order, converted into Chinese currency, exceeded 170 billion.
Not long ago, she was still complaining about Chen Hao, inexplicably wanting 200 billion, thinking that the company's funds would be greatly reduced.
There you go!
He had almost earned it back.
Now, she admired her brother-in-law's ability to make money to the point of prostration.
Was this doing business?
It was faster than robbing a bank!
The key was, this was just the beginning.
She knew Chen Hao's plan to fleece the sheep, and the next step of bidding for LCD TV patents would be another big income.
How much would it be?
Anticipation!
Just as she was feeling good in her heart, drinking coffee and daydreaming, her phone rang.
"Sister Xia, we'll need a sum of money later, just wanted to let you know," Chen Hao called.
Her sister was right last time!
"How much?" Xia Qingyan was stunned.
It wouldn't be another hundred billion, would it?
But…
After the last conversation, knowing that the money would be invested in the country, her mentality had also changed.
A hundred billion it is!
Anyway, as long as there was money in the account and it didn't affect the company's operations, that was fine.
Besides, in a few days, there would be another large sum coming in.
"Not sure yet, dozens of billions at the low end, hundreds of billions at the high end."
"That little?!"
"Little?"
"Isn't this time investing money in road construction?"
"No, I'm in Guangxi, planning to do some investment."
"Ah?!"
Xia Qingyan's face changed: "Weren't you going to the capital? How come you're in Guangxi again? That's right! The auction is scheduled for a week later, there are only two days left!"
"Don't worry, it won't delay things."
"Alright then, I'll tell Director Li, you can ask her for the money."
…
The Xia Li car was covered in a layer of dust, driving on a bumpy road.
Chen Hao hung up the phone.
Just then, the Xia Li stopped by the roadside.
Not far away.
On the dilapidated building, there were a few gilded characters — Pingnan County Government.
Pulling out a few hundred yuan and stuffing it to the driver, Chen Hao took Xiang Yan straight to the building.
"Who are you looking for?"
A clerk came over, looking him up and down.
"Hello, is County Chief Tang in? Secretary Luo will also do."
"Who are you? What do you want with County Chief Tang?"
"I'm here to invest in Pingnan."
"Invest?"
"Manganese ore, granite, limestone, I'm interested in all of them."
"Please wait a moment!"
The clerk's eyes lit up: "I'll ask for you."
Just asking?
Ten minutes later.
Chen Hao appeared in the county chief's office.
"County Chief Tang, this is my business card," Chen Hao handed over the business card.
This was newly printed.
The titles had increased quite a bit.
Most of the time, Chen Hao wouldn't give people business cards, unless he needed to use the titles to fool people.
Sure enough!
Seeing the string of titles on the business card, County Chief Tang's expression clearly changed.
SP4 was selling well nationwide, and Chuangshiji was a household name.
That's right!
The day before yesterday, when he went to the city for a meeting, he accidentally saw LCD TVs, which were also Chuangshiji's products — directly sold out!
In short.
This company was not short of money!
"Is Mr. Chen really planning to invest?" County Chief Tang was a little uncertain.
China in 2000 was very poor.
Pingnan County was even poorer!
Just a mere county, without any advantages to speak of, and no areas worth investing in.
Before, the people below told him that Chen Hao had expressed interest in investing in manganese ore, granite, etc., but…
The more County Chief Tang thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.
These were not unique to Pingnan County.
If he wanted to invest in minerals, he should go to places with good transportation and economy, what reason would he have to come to this small place?
"It's like this!"
Chen Hao got up, walked to a wall, pointed to the map of Pingnan County: "County Chief Tang, please take a look! I'm planning to build a manganese ore smelting plant here, here is a granite processing plant, and here…"
County Chief Tang was a little excited.
If it was really like what the other party said, how much economic benefit would it bring?
"The first phase of the plan will bring 5,000 jobs, and the jobs driven by the upstream and downstream industrial chains will reach at least 10,000 or more!"
"The annual tax revenue will be at least 30 million!"
"This is only the first phase, and the scale after the second phase of expansion will be at least doubled."
"In addition, there may be investment in copper, lead, zinc, phosphorus, etc. in the later stage."
Listening to Chen Hao's introduction, County Chief Tang's breathing became heavy.
Pingnan County had no shortage of resources.
But there were two problems!
First of all.
The economy was backward and the transportation was inconvenient.
Whether it was mining or smelting, external transportation was very troublesome.
Secondly.
The currently proven minerals were indeed numerous.
However, most of them had small resource reserves, or the grade was relatively poor, and there was not much mining value.
Such as copper, lead, zinc, phosphorus.
"Mr. Chen is not joking with me, is he?" he muttered.
"The first phase of investment is one billion!"
Chen Hao's expression was solemn: "Real money, I can even open a government-supervised account in this county — the county government can supervise, the funds in this account can only be invested in mining!"
Only used for investing in mining.
It must not be invested in other fields, and it is not allowed to transfer money at will, special funds for special purposes.
Now that he had said this, how could County Chief Tang not believe it?
One billion!
Let's put it this way.
Today in 2000, this money, even if it was placed in a first-tier city, would be enough to excite the top leader.
Not to mention a county with only hundreds of thousands of people and a backward economy?
Too much!
"I believe Mr. Chen!"
County Chief Tang nodded and said sternly: "How do you need me to cooperate?"
He knew it like the back of his hand.
No matter how you think about it, Pingnan County had no reason for the other party to give so much investment.
There must be conditions!
"I want a buyout agreement."
"Buyout agreement?"
"In addition to investing one billion, I will also buy out all the mineral veins in Pingnan for 5 billion."
Chen Hao said in a deep voice: "That is to say, all the underground mineral veins in Pingnan County will be mined by me!"
County Chief Tang was stunned.
On second thought.
There were only a handful of minerals in Pingnan County that were worth mining.
It's not worth 5 billion, is it?
"Mr. Chen's conditions are very generous, but… there is a problem."
"You say!"
"There are several mines that are already being mined."
County Chief Tang looked helpless: "They also signed agreements, and according to laws and regulations, I can't forcibly take back other people's mines, you know, right?"
"Where are the specific locations?" Chen Hao asked quickly.
Manganese ore and granite were just for cover.
His real purpose was…
Rare earth mines!
It has not been discovered yet.
Even if someone is already mining, it is not necessary to take it all back.
As long as it is not in the rare earth mine area.
"Here, here, and this…" County Chief Tang pointed on the map.
Huh?!
Chen Hao's pupils tightened.
There was a manganese mine near the rare earth mine!
Once the mining scale expands, it is likely to dig into the rare earth mine.
Furthermore.
Once the rare earth mine is dug out, such big news cannot be hidden and will inevitably be made public.
His purpose was to use the mining of other mineral veins as a cover, not to let anyone discover the rare earth mine, and not to allow others to mine it.
"Whose mine is this?" Chen Hao pointed to the manganese mine.
