An hour later, in the reception room, Ronald's father sat down, unable to suppress his smile. He first shook hands with Lu Feng, being much more polite than before.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Lu. My son has never been very reliable. Please forgive him if he did anything wrong earlier. Since you want to acquire these two tungsten mines, I’ll have them introduce you to the relevant information. You can also take a look around. Let’s try to sign the agreement early next year.” Ronald’s father gestured to the professional manager next to him.
"That's right, the total reserves of these two tungsten mines currently account for one-third of South Africa's proven tungsten reserves, and the total quantity is..."
"No need to say anything more." Lu Feng interrupted him directly and asked Ronald's father, "I only have one question: is the tungsten ore processing plant included in these two mines?"
"That's right. They don't want raw ore. They need it to be simply refined and then handed over to their refining plant here. We are a medium-sized primary processing plant."
“Then there’s no problem. As for going to the mine, with a good brother like Ronald, I don’t think it’s necessary. I trust him completely. Besides, even if we lose money, it’s not much. Even if I’m poor, I’m not so stingy as to be stingy with every penny. According to the market price, you’re worth a billion RMB, right?” Lu Feng looked at Ronald.
"actually......."
"How much is one billion RMB in US dollars?" Ronald's father asked, puzzled.
“About 130 million,” Lu Feng said to the father and son. “I will pay 200 million RMB in local currency first, and the remaining amount will be settled within the next twelve months. At the same time, we need to sign a confidentiality agreement. This matter is top secret. I hope you two can help out with the remaining mines in the area. If I’m going to play this game, I’m going to be the boss. Small-scale operations are no fun at all.”
Ronald didn't quite understand Lu Feng's tactics. His father was an old businessman, especially in the last two years when he supplied goods to companies in Japan and the United States. He had some understanding of the ins and outs of the international community.
Lu Feng knew exactly what he wanted to do. This young man dared to do what Lu Feng dared not do. This was like a thousand-year kill coming from behind. It wouldn't be fatal to either country, but it would definitely be a painful experience.
“We can manage it on your behalf and keep it confidential, but we won’t be involved in anything that happens at the mine afterward, nor will we be the main responsible parties. I’ll help you find a professional manager. On the surface, it’s my mine, but in reality, it has little to do with my family. And we’ll only manage it for you for twelve months,” Ronald’s father said shrewdly.
Twelve months later, once he got the money, he would leave immediately. He dared to take this risk because he felt that nothing much would happen in twelve months, and secondly, there was money to be made. Lu Feng didn't send anyone to manage the mine, so it wasn't impossible that the mine carts, ore, the things in the warehouse, and the money in the account could suddenly come to life one night and run away on their own.
"No problem, whatever is convenient for you, Uncle. I'm not someone who values assets too much. I might buy a mine in Africa today and a building in Europe tomorrow, and then I might forget about it," Lu Feng joked.
"Hahaha, I can tell from your demeanor. Shall we start by drafting the contract today?"
"No problem. My lawyer is here too. We can discuss the contract with each other. My payment method is mainly for the goods. To be honest, it's almost Chinese New Year, so I need to keep a few hundred billion in my pocket to give as red envelopes to my children. I can assure you that as soon as the goods arrive, someone will take over immediately. You just need to go through the formalities."
As Lu Feng spoke, he waved to the lawyer, who then listed all the necessary clauses concerning Lu Feng's side. Moreover, to prevent anyone from tracing the actual controller, Lu Feng placed the actual controller of the tungsten mine under Duo Duo's name this time.
Given Lu Feng's relationship with Duo Duo, getting her to stamp or sign something shouldn't be a problem. If she's unhappy, Jiang Xiaoyan can just beat her up.
The contract was signed quite quickly. After both parties agreed, Lu Feng signed on behalf of Duo Duo and handed over local currency worth 200 million RMB today.
"These two tungsten mines will definitely be priceless in the future. Tonight, I'll treat Mr. Lu to a meal of our local delicacies. Ronald has many brothers, but Mr. Lu is definitely the one I respect the most!" Ronald's father smiled so broadly that his face was almost like a steamed bun. He held Lu Feng's hand affectionately, finally getting rid of this hot potato.
If Lu Feng doesn't buy, no one in the area will dare to sell. Are those companies backed by the US and Japan the kind of people who dare to mess with? In the end, they'll probably have to give it away for free, which is the main reason they're so eager to transfer the tungsten mine out of the country.
In the evening, the dinner table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, which Lu Feng tasted briefly. He also called in a dance troupe to perform local dances. The dancers wore animal costumes and held spears, creating a rather wild scene.
After a good time of singing, dancing, and rapping, and with the drinks nearly finished, it has to be said that experience counts. Ronald's father was very good at handling things at the dinner table. Whether it was his conversation or his casual praise of Lu Feng, he could make the atmosphere at the dinner table more harmonious.
Regardless of nationality, sitting at the same table with some experienced people makes you feel completely comfortable, without any other feelings. Such people are far superior to ordinary young people in their ability to read people, discuss topics, gain knowledge, and understand personalities.
At 11 p.m., Lu Feng and Ronald's father came downstairs arm in arm, calling each other "brother" repeatedly. His father personally saw Lu Feng to the car and assured him, "Mr. Lu, now that we're brothers, you can rest assured. Leave everything here to me. You go and focus on your big business. I'll handle these little things!"
