Chapter 1727 (1/2)
There are three major gold companies in South Africa, which control more than 70% of the gold mines. Angus ranks second, with more than 10 large and small mines producing more than 500 tons of gold annually.
However, in the past two years, the price of gold has been maintained at the level of 3200 US dollars per ounce, while the mining tax has increased by 40%. In addition, inflation, management expenses, mining expenses, etc., the production cost has soared to 2300 US dollars per ounce.
In order to speed up the exploration cost, Angus gold company borrowed a lot of money from the bank, which made it unable to bear the high loan interest any more. It wanted to sell 1140 tons of gold in stock as turnover.
”No. If Angus gold is going to sell gold, there should be a lot of buyers. No matter how bad it is, if you can use gold to repay the loan directly, how can it be reduced to the point where no one will buy it? ” Xiao Yunhai asked with a puzzled face.
”It's because no one dares to buy it, because the bank he borrowed from is Citigroup. The price Citigroup offered was $2300 an ounce, which Angus disagreed with. Bessie family is very overbearing, no one is allowed to buy Angus gold. Half a month later, no one is willing to buy it. ”
”Does the South African government care?” Xiao Yunhai said
The Dragon said with a smile: ”they wish Angus was finished. What's more, the South African government is rich in gold. Now the gold market is in a slump, and nobody wants to buy it. ”
Xiao Yunhai had a smile on his face and said: ”it seems that the gold of Angus company is prepared for me. First, I bought gold not for trading, but for strategic reserves; second, I and the Bessie family were enemies themselves, and I didn't care about his threat. Hehe, I wanted to set up a gold company. It seems that I don't need it. More than 1000 tons of gold is enough. Dragon one, can you contact Angus gold? ”
”The reason why I know this is because I have a friend who is an executive in this company. I'll call him right now. ”
Long Yi took out his mobile phone and skillfully dialed out a number.
”Hello, boss, what time is it? Why call me at this time?”
It's three o'clock in the morning in South Africa, and the other party should be sleeping.
Long Yi said, ”Lao sun, I want to ask you whether Angus has sold more than 1000 tons of gold?”
Sun Xingfang said with a wry smile: ”sell a fart. It's fashionable to engage in oil now. Who's free to regulate gold. What's more, the Bessie family has spoken, and who do you think dares to fight against it
Long Yi said: ”I have a customer here. I want to eat your gold. But what I want to know is how much cheaper you can get? ”
Sun Xingfang asked in a hurry: ”dragon one, you boy is not amusing me to play?”
long one was not very angry and said, ”do you think I'm free? What's the lowest price? If it's appropriate, we'll pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time. If it's not appropriate, just think I didn't say it. ”
Hearing Long Yi's words, Xiao Yunhai smiles and says in his heart, ”this guy is a good negotiator.”
Sun Xingfang said: ”if you eat all, at least 3000 dollars.”
The dragon was angry and scolded: ”you boy, don't come. Three thousand dollars? At this price, I dare say no one will buy it. You know, it's buying your gold at the risk of offending the Bessie family. ”
Sun Xingfang said with a wry smile: ”boss, this is the bottom line of the company. I'm just a vice president, and I can't change it.”
Xiao Yunhai took out his mobile phone, wrote 2900 dollars on it, and shook it in front of Long Yi.
”The bottom line of my customer is 2900 dollars,” he said. If you can't be the master, ask your boss. Old sun, I can tell you, after this village, there will be no shop. ”
