Chapter 389: Chapter 316: Africa United Mining Group (Please Subscribe)_1

Forty-nine percent.

When thinking about it, it’s not bad. At least I own fifty-one percent of the shares and I am still the controlling party.

Then Chai Ren lifted his head and said, "No problem, Brother Wen, I agree with all these conditions. When the time comes, we will jointly establish a group company. How about registering it in an offshore center?"

"Sure." Wen Zhuo nodded in agreement.

"Do you have any requirements for the name?" Chai Ren asked again, just to avoid any possible taboos.

"Anything would do."

Wen Zhuo’s indifferent attitude and expression made Chai Ren feel as if he was beating a drum in vain. But he had no choice but to continue this way. He had gotten used to this position and somewhat accepted it. Chai Ren couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Chai Ren turned his eyes and thought for a moment before saying,

"Well, then let’s call it the African United Mining Group. How about that? Since these problematic mineral deposits are all in Africa, the headquarters should be set up in the capital of South Africa. There is an existing office building that I own there."

"Sure, once the company is established, all the mineral deposits will be transferred to this company. We will complete the remaining tasks within a month. You are responsible for preparing other mining procedures, as well as transportation, and sales etc. After a month, we will have to re-assess the reserves of all the mineral deposits. We won’t meddle with any group’s operations except for finance, but, our boss doesn’t want any unpleasant incidents." Wen Zhuo warned finally.

Chai Ren quickly responded: "No problem, all things are transparent and explanations will be provided as needed. This kind of money is not something that even I would be interested in."

"Mr. Chai, here’s to a happy cooperation." Wen Zhuo extended his hand with a smile.

"Happy cooperation."

Both men shake hands.

This cooperation had significant ramifications.

The subsequent discussion... was as always, unenergetic.

Out of helplessness, Chai Ren had no choice but to give up on attempting to be relatable and instead began to instruct his men to prepare for the company registration and the transfer of the mines.

There was so much to handle.

These minerals are controlled by five of his own companies. And now, they need to be separated and handed over. Dealing with various departments in African countries isn’t like in their home country. He will have to send people there to handle all kind of procedures. Even if he uses money to bribe officials, it would be impossible to complete everything within two weeks.

After making phone calls for nearly an hour, Chai Ren eventually finished giving instructions. He also called some of his friends in Africa to ask them to prepare to help.

After hanging up the phone,

Looking at Wen Zhuo, who was calm and composed,

Chai Ren felt like he was a working man.

But there was no way out. There were too many coordination tasks, involving many companies and countries at home and abroad. Some relationships were private. He also wished to establish a company like Tang Qing’s Sky Eye, but it was too risky due to his special status. Therefore, he did not dare to assign all tasks to one company. More than that, it’s impossible to hand over those private relationships, which involve too many personal interests and hidden tricks.

Tang Qing had assigned all the "dirty plans", but Chai Ren did not have such ability.

At eleven in the morning,

Chai Ren’s partners began to arrive one after another.

Even though each of them holds immense power, the analysts didn’t show a hint of respect.

They always maintained a composed and indifferent attitude, creating a protective barrier.

Sometimes, it is necessary to show such an attitude.

Those men were ’held in check’.

After signing the contract,

"Young Master Chai, who is that guy exactly? Does he look down on us? Just sending a subordinate?" A rich second-generation young man said indignantly.

"Lower your voice, I can’t offend this guy. He doesn’t value this kind of money at all," Chai Ren whispered back.

"Really? It’s two billion RMB! Are you kidding me?" The young second-generation man didn’t believe him. It was understandable that the other side was rich, but disregarding two billion RMB is just like overlooking ten billion ten years later, as if you were the world’s richest man.

"What do you think? Anyway, be careful what you say. Let me tell you that they are very powerful overseas. If you offend them, be careful when you go abroad later." Chai Ren warned.

Or, one could say, he threatened.

"Really?"

"Who is this guy, he is so domineering. There are still some who don’t believe him."

"You guys need not know. I won’t say anything inappropriate. You will slowly come to understand. Let’s just say, don’t underestimate those "benefits". You will experience it later. So be careful not to lose face." Chai Ren mysteriously spoke.

Well, the analysts didn’t need to pretend.

Chai Ren had already done it for them.

If Tang Qing knew about this, he’d definitely say: Okay, I’ll take all the pretense for you. Is it enough now? I can continue to do it if it isn’t.

In fact, Chai Ren had no other way, he was also confused, so he simply created a powerful image. He could just make it up as he went along.

It seems that the effect so far has been quite good.

"Alright, I believe in Chai. I will make a move first."

"I’ll leave too, Brother Chai, you can entertain him. It seems that he doesn’t like these activities."

"Um, bye."

The influential young men left together again.

They really didn’t have the interest to play with someone who lacked the ’fun’ element. So, it’s better to avoid him in the future.

With regards to the money, they didn’t mention it either. Yunqi Investment will have many places to spend money in the future. They all had previously agreed that all profits will be shared equally at the end of the year. If there is an acquisition plan, sometimes they may not be able to make any money, but they can’t say anything about it. They all hope that Yunqi Investment grows bigger and gains wider influence.

Only lower-level second-generations would be so keen about money. They are like farmers envying the emperor.

The levels were not the same.

So, their pursuits were also not the same.

They were all people who had shared common values with Chai Ren, so their pursuits were the same. They have many ways to make money ordinarily. However, they couldn’t touch the money of Yunqi. Even if they had to owe money, they would still be willingly do so.

Chai Ren was helpless when he saw them. These guys were truly casual and laid-back.

"Brother Wen, don’t mind them. They’re just like this, a bit individualistic, but not a single one of them is malicious." Chai Ren apologized.

"I understand. They’re genuine. Now that everything is settled, I’ll take my leave. I’ll leave it to you to handle the establishment of the group and the handover of the mine. We’ll also start arranging things on our end." ’Wen Zhuo’ stood up and said.

"Alright."

Chai Ren already knew the tempers of the people in front of him. If they said they wouldn’t do something, then they wouldn’t do it. There was no beating around the bush and no reasoning that could persuade them. Therefore, he didn’t propose anything like staying a few more days or having a sit-down meal, even the lunch was fast food.

Chai Ren escorted the three of them to the airport and waved goodbye.

Watching the three of them disappear from view, Chai Ren’s smile also faded.

He sincerely hoped that this gamble was the right one!

Such an important decision was made without notifying his family, this was not merely a risk but almost a joke. His father and grandfather would definitely teach him a lesson once they found out. He was also betting on a bright future, betting on Tang Qing’s friend. If things really work out, the influence this will have on their family would be significant.

Soon after.

Chai Ren visited the office of the chairman of the Beijing Airport, Guo Jun.

"Young Master Chai, hello." Guo Jun hurriedly stood up to pour tea.

"No need, Mr. Guo, I need a favor from you." Chai Ren raised his hand to stop him.

"What do you need?" Guo Jun asked, putting down the teapot.

"I want to investigate someone; I want to know where he comes from," Chai Ren said.

"No problem, I’ll take you."

They arrived at the Information Management Center.

Guo Jun had his assistant pull up flight passenger information.

Three minutes later.

"Chairman, Wen Zhuo and the other two departed from the Shanghai airport to Beijing this morning. No prior aviation records exist for them."

"They’ve never flown on a plane before?" Chai Ren frowned.

"No."

"Alright, thank you. I’ll leave first, thanks Mr. Guo."

Leaving the airport.

Chai Ren was speechless, he wanted to investigate where the other party came from, but the trail went cold. There were no entry or exit aviation records, and no domestic aviation records. It’s truly unusual.

Could their identity also be fake?

It’s highly possible.

Whether collaborating with such people is a good or a bad thing, he could only play it by ear.

Maybe he could get some information from Tang Qing.

Tang Qing’s relationship with that friend was definitely not ordinary.

It seemed that he needed to deepen his relationship with Tang Qing. However, he was quite busy recently. He would visit Qingyan City after a while.

But a call was necessary.

"Master Chai, what can I do for you?" Tang Qing received a call from Chai Ren after lunch.

"Little Tang, thank you for your referral. I am now a partner with your friend," Chai Ren laughed.

"That’s good. Don’t worry. My friend is very easy to talk to. As long as you don’t pull any fast ones, you can trust him completely in terms of cooperation." Tang Qing also understood Chai Ren’s doubts. Although his own words might not be of much use, he still felt it was beneficial to give Chai Ren some peace of mind.

As expected.

For some reason, Chai Ren had an unexplained trust in Tang Qing.

After listening, he felt much more at ease.

"Alright, I got it. I’ll treat you to a meal next time I visit Qingyan City," Chai Ren said.

"No problem, but if we’re talking about gratitude, I have a small favor to ask. I wonder if Master Chai can help." Tang Qing changed the topic.

"What’s the favor? Rest assured, there isn’t much in the country that I, Chai Ren, can’t handle," Chai Ren quickly assured him.

"It’s not a big deal. You know I have a clothing company, and we’re looking to expand in the national market. But we’re stuck with the CCTV advertising spot. We want to secure a good one. I was wondering if you could help." Tang Qing slowly said.

After a long period of negotiation, the company had secured a fair share of advertising and naming rights on local satellite television, but all the advertising spots on CCTV were already bid on. Though they had opened stores in the coastal provinces, the lack of advertising in CCTV irked Tang Qing.

He had zero interest in naming rights.

This United Mining Group, considering everything, had proven to be a huge advantage for Chai Ren, and with future mineral deposits continually added, it may possibly generate tens of billions of RMB in revenue for Chai Ren for the next ten years. This was no small gift.

Hence, Tang Qing had no qualms about it.

If he could ask, he would.

"I thought there was something serious. Don’t worry, leave it to me. I might not be able to secure the prime advertising spots, but I can do something for the others. You just wait for my good news."

Chai Ren thought it was something serious.

This kind of thing.

Was essentially an easy task for him.

Chai Ren and Tang Qing had the same thought, feeling like he had gotten a huge bargain.

However, his thoughts were even crazier than Tang Qing’s.

If this really works out, it won’t stop at tens of billions. That was a conservative estimate. The additional benefits that it could bring left him trembling all over in excitement.
