No. 110: Interest Determines Everything

In the conference hall, after a short silence, someone finally spoke.

"Your Excellency, we have no money, how can we ask Jiang Cheng to help us?" The Minister of Defense of West Mexico shrugged helplessly, with a wry smile on his face.

He is a staunch supporter of Tony Beria and supports all his decisions.

However, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The country of Ximo is really poor!

Last year, the fiscal revenue of Western Mexico was about 256.4 billion yuan, which seems to be a lot. However, there are too many poor people in Western Mexico, and various infrastructure facilities are also quite backward. The light and heavy industries are even worse. Almost Western Mexico has Mexico's annual fiscal revenue is not enough for expenditures, and there is a considerable fiscal deficit.

"Everyone, our country's fiscal revenue mainly comes from resource exports, such as various ores, natural gas, oil, etc. Our country's various natural resources are among the best, so I have a bold idea." Tony Beria's eyes flickered, There is a sharp edge blooming inside.

"Your Excellency, you don't want to follow Elijah's example and hand over our country's natural resource exploitation rights to Jiang Cheng, do you?" the Minister of Land and Resources of West Mexico asked in shock.

You must know that the land area of ​​Western Mexico is nearly 2 million square kilometers. The various natural resources of Western Mexico are very rich. The proven natural resources alone are already worth more than 10 trillion yuan. If we add unproven natural resources to the dollar, it will not be doubled.

How could it be possible to hand over natural resources with such a huge value to Jiang Cheng?

Isn't this a joke?

"Everyone, although our country is rich in natural resources, it is very difficult to exploit it. Taking an oil field worth 10 billion yuan, after deducting the mining costs, we can only have a profit of 2 billion meters of gold.

"However, as far as I know, Elijah is only willing to hand over the domestic natural resource exploitation rights to Jiang Cheng because Jiang Cheng has more advanced mining technology and Huanyu Group can minimize the mining costs."

"Even if the natural resources mined by Elijah have to be split 50-50 with Jiang Cheng, this is still higher than the profit they can get from their own mining."

In the main seat, Tony Beria talked endlessly about the relevant situation.

"This..." Below, all the senior officials of West Mexico State were collectively silent.

The value of natural resources is one thing, and the cost of its extraction is another.

Some natural resources are difficult to mine, and the mining cost may even be higher than the selling price. In short, mining such resources is a loss.

For example, take oil resources.

The eastern oil fields in Western Mexico, which are the most difficult to exploit, cost about 46 meters per barrel, but today's international oil price is 57 meters per barrel.

This is equivalent to making only 11 million yuan from a barrel of oil extracted in the eastern oil fields of Western Mexico.

If the eastern oil fields are handed over to Jiang Cheng, he might be able to give the West Mexican government 19 million yuan for each barrel of oil he produces!

In fact, based on the difficulty of extraction and the gap in extraction technology, it is really difficult to define the cost of oil extraction in a region, because onshore mining is different from offshore mining, old oil fields are different from new oil fields, and conventional oil fields are different from unconventional oil fields. , In addition, transportation costs and so on need to be added.

"Your Excellency, I think we really need to have a good talk with Jiang Cheng. Our country is so rich in natural resources. If we give the mining rights to Jiang Cheng, and the profits he gives us are higher than the profits we get from our own mining, what's the point?" It’s not a win-win situation!” the Minister of Defense of West Mexico said with a smile.

"Yes, if Jiang Cheng can really bring us greater benefits, then he will definitely get greater benefits. In this way, maybe our country can really change." Immediately afterwards, someone else spoke in agreement.

This world is like this. Everyone in the world comes for profit, and everyone in the world goes out for profit.

As long as the benefits obtained are high enough, there is nothing wrong with West Mexico handing over its natural resource exploitation rights to Jiangcheng!

What's more, Huanyu Group is also a military industrial enterprise with huge military strength.

Western Mexico can purchase advanced weapons and equipment, rebuild its national defense force, and finally defeat all domestic criminal forces in one fell swoop.

Even if the United States wants to intervene, Jiang Cheng will definitely take the lead in order to prevent its own interests from being damaged!

"More than ten days ago, the three countries spent 49.6 billion yuan to purchase a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet in Jiang Cheng. Now this fleet is about to be delivered to the navy of the three countries."

"It can be seen from here that the weapons and equipment manufacturing capabilities of the Huanyu Group are not weaker than those of the major powers, and even exceed them."

"If we develop the closest cooperation with Jiang Cheng, we can also purchase various advanced weapons and equipment to arm our national defense forces.

Tony Beria put his hands on the table and talked nonstop.

At this time, the Minister of Defense of West Mexico also said: "In the past, no matter which country they were, they did not dare to sell advanced weapons and equipment to us, for fear that the United States would impose sanctions on them, so we could only buy Old-fashioned equipment provided to us by the United States."

"Taking all the circumstances into consideration, at this stage, if we want to change the country of West Mexico, then Jiang Cheng is indeed the best choice!"

After hearing this, everyone present nodded, and almost no one raised any objections.

The people who can sit here still have a conscience, and they don't want to get involved with the domestic criminal forces.

"Since everyone has no objections, in order to show how much we value Jiang Cheng, I will go and discuss with him in person!" Tony Beria said solemnly.

On the other side, in the restaurant of the Elijah Presidential Palace, five people including Jiang Cheng, Lu You, Zhang Zhenhai, Lu Reid, and Sagep gathered at the same dining table.

During the dinner, Luide held up his wine glass, looked at Jiang Cheng, and said with a smile: "Jiang, your speed is too fast. Only a few days have passed and you are about to deliver the fleet to Asan Kingdom."

The Admiralty of Asan Kingdom may not be able to sleep peacefully in the past few days!"

"Your Excellency, you must be efficient in everything you do. After all, life is limited. A waste of time is a waste of life." Jiang Cheng raised his glass and drank the remaining red wine in one sip.

Next to him, Zhang Zhenhai, wearing a navy vice admiral's uniform, quickly poured wine for Jiang Cheng.

"Mr. Jiang, as soon as the fleet purchased by Ah Sanguo appeared, the outside world's evaluation of Huanyu Group went up to a higher level. It is said that many investment institutions have raised the valuation of Huanyu Group to 300 billion gold." Saijip's face was filled with smiles. With a look of envy, he continued: "By the beginning of August, maybe I will have to call Mr. Jiang the richest man in the world!"

"It's just a name, what's so strange about it!" Jiang Cheng smiled lightly, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

At this time, Lu You put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He said: "In the past half month, [Huanyu Resources Company has produced a total of 2.7 million tons of high-quality iron ore and 220,000 tons of ordinary copper ore. stone and 3.8 million barrels of crude oil..."

"DEUT..."

Hearing such words, Lureed and Segip took a deep breath, their expressions full of shock.

They know that Huanyi Resources is vigorously developing Eria's oil, iron ore veins and copper veins.

However, it has only been half a month, how come so much has been mined?

Immediately afterwards, the two of them showed signs of ecstasy. In the contract they signed with Jiang Cheng, for all natural resources mined in Elijah, after deducting the mining costs, the temple officials were required to share half of the profits. .

"General Lu, may I ask how much these resources are worth, how much they cost to extract, and how much can Elijah get?" Lureed asked urgently.

He immediately wanted to know how much money Elijah would get because he was so short of money.

"According to the current international price, high-quality iron ore is 650 meters per ton, ordinary copper ore is 6,050 meters per ton, and crude oil is 57 meters per barrel."

"In total, it is estimated that 2.7 million tons of high-quality iron ore is worth 1.75 billion meters, 220,000 tons of ordinary copper ore is worth 1.33 billion meters of gold, and 3.8 million tons of crude oil is worth 210 million meters. Their total value is 3.29 billion meters. "

“Finally, after excluding the total mining costs, transportation and storage costs, etc., the approximate net profit is 2.6 billion meters of gold.

Lu You leisurely reported the performance of Huanyu Resources Company in the past half month.

Since Huanyu Resources is an easy-to-exploit resource that was developed first, the benefits are so huge.

If some resources that are more difficult to mine are mined later, the mining cost will rise a bit.

"With a net profit of 2.6 billion meters of gold in half a month, wouldn't Elijah be able to share 1.3 billion meters of gold..." Sagep opened his mouth so wide that he could swallow an egg.

It should be noted that in the past, Elijah’s fiscal revenue mainly relied on resource exports, and its annual fiscal revenue was only more than 90 gold!

But what about now?

After handing over the resource exploitation rights, in just half a month, Elijah was able to get 1.3 billion meters of gold. This is a huge profit!

This transaction is not a loss, it is really very wise!

"I said, as long as you two follow my footsteps, Elijah will become prosperous and powerful in your hands." 5.7 Jiang Cheng shook the wine glass and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Jiang, thank you for your help, you will always be Elijah's best friend!" Lu Reed stood up excitedly, his face full of excitement.

1.3 billion meters of gold in half a month, 2.6 billion meters of gold in one month, and 32.1 billion meters of gold in a year.

Based on this calculation, Elijah's annual financial revenue can at least triple.

Once the fiscal revenue becomes abundant, then Reed will definitely become the greatest president of Elijah and a figure that will go down in history.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be so excited. Please remember my words. I am very generous to my friends!" Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

In fact, Jiang Cheng has the most.

You know, all the resources of Elijah belong to the official of Elijah. However, Jiang Cheng only mined it and took half of the profit. Isn't this enough profit?

Moreover, Jiang Cheng can spend the profits he shares however he wants, but Lurid cannot, because this is Elijah's official fiscal revenue, how could he embezzle it for himself?
