Chapter 1100 Loss-making business
() Ye Kai could not promote the treasures of the Nangong family all over the world, so his parents could only talk about it. So Meng Zhaohua asked at this time, and Ye Kai explained the whole story of the matter.
"So, you have received more than 100 tons of gold now?" Meng Zhaohua couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.
More than 100 tons of gold, the impact this incident has brought to her is far greater than the influence of obtaining many precious calligraphy and paintings.
It is not a big gold-producing country, and gold mine resources are relatively poor, so finding and mining gold has always been one of the top priorities of the country. There is even a special gold mining force in China, who has been working hard on the front line of exploration and mining of gold mines for many years.
At this time, Ye Kai easily obtained more than 100 tons of gold, which really surprised Meng Zhaohua.
"Probably, Mr. Nangong Jinghong liked me, so he gave me the gold. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, I felt a little guilty. After all, I didn't help him do too many things..." Ye Kai calculated with his fingers, "Well, I saved Nangong Yun and his daughter once, and Nangong Jinghong once, helping them return home smoothly, and helping them solve the family civil strife. Hey, it's not too small."
After hearing this, Meng Zhaohua interrupted, "I think the key issue is not here, but the relationship between Nangong Yun and you makes me feel a little unusual."
As a mother, Meng Zhaohua still knows something about Ye Kai, so I won’t talk about it any further. Just the Xu Zhitong who Ye Kai asked her to arrange for Mingzhu TV station is very likely to have a little unclear relationship with Ye Kai.
By analogy, Meng Zhaohua felt that the reason why Nangong Jinghong was willing to give such a huge amount of wealth to Ye Kai was not because of Nangong Yun. After all, Nangong Yun seemed to have more contact with Ye Kai. The special relationship between the two people was also in line with common sense inference.
"If you continue like this, sooner or later, one day you will feel a headache." Although it is difficult to blame your son again, Meng Zhaohua still has to fulfill his obligation to remind him.
There are a bunch of girlfriends around Ye Kai, which may not matter now, but it is hard to say that these girls are in a hurry to get married.
Especially Ye Kai has different identities. There are definitely many girls who are eager to enter the Ye family.
When the conflicts come out, Miss Chu, the official palace, will be unhappy, and may be in trouble.
"There is no way to do this..." Ye Kai was also a little distressed when he mentioned this. He scratched his head and said, "Some things are the situation that are pressing, and I don't want to be so troublesome. If you say that to me, you will stand and speak without any pain in your back."
"Hey, I haven't grown much, but I have a big temper. I can't even tell you as a mother?" Meng Zhaohua couldn't help but say angrily when he saw Ye Kai was unrepentant.
"Why is it so amazing?" At this time, Ye Ziping came back and just heard Meng's mother teach her children. So he asked with a smile.
"Dad." Ye Kai said hello honestly, went over and helped him take down the things in his hand and put them aside.
"Look at your baby son, I don't listen to me now." Meng Zhaohua complained to Ye Ziping.
"That won't work." Ye Ziping was in a good mood. After hearing this, he smiled and said to Ye Kai, "I don't dare to make your mother angry. Be careful that she will get angry, and the rolling pin will hit you."
"If the problem can be solved by a few knocks on the rolling pin, then why not do I get it a few times?" Ye Kai replied.
The family of three rarely had dinner together, and then they talked in the living room.
"What are you going to do with that batch of gold?" Ye Ziping lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then asked Ye Kai.
Regarding the treasure, Ye Kai communicated with Ye Ziping early in the morning. Ye Ziping's opinion was that gold should be disposed of by Ye Kai himself, but it is best to identify those treasures and cultural relics. If it is at the national treasure level, it is necessary to restrict the exit of the country.
But Ye Kai's idea is a bit different. He thinks he is not short of money, so there is no need to rush to sell these treasures. Moreover, in the future, with the rapid development of social economy, the prices of collectibles will definitely rise all the way, and he does not need to sell these treasures now.
"Didn't that say I'll deal with that gold?" Ye Kai asked.
"The plan is not as good as change. The news that you got was leaked. Now Comrade Hong Zheng supervised the central bank, so he asked me about this matter. Although he did not say it clearly, he must be more interested in this gold." Ye Ziping said to Ye Kai.
"That's how..." Ye Kai immediately began to ponder when he heard this.
If it were someone else's idea to make this gold, Ye Kai might not have paid attention to them. Since he was already late for Ye Kai, he was in his stomach, there was no possibility of spitting it out again.
But Comrade Hong Zheng is a little different, let alone Hong Zheng
Comrades are upright and have very light economic management capabilities. Just saying that his help to Ye Kai in the past makes Ye Kai appreciate it.
Ye Ziping didn't say anything, holding a cigarette in his hand, watching Ye Kai pondering.
Out of understanding of his son, Ye Ziping knew that Ye Kai would definitely be able to make a more wise decision without disappointing him.
Sure enough, after a while, Ye Kai said, "If Comrade Hong Zheng mentions this matter again, you will tell him that I can take out the gold, but there are also conditions."
"Oh, what are the conditions?" Ye Ziping felt a little curious when he heard this.
"I want the domestic rare earth mining rights and export rights." Ye Kai said, "If he can do this, then I will give him all the gold, and he will do whatever he wants."
"That's how it sounds like you are at a disadvantage." Ye Ziping said after hearing this.
The mainland’s rare earths occupies several world’s first place: the world’s largest reserves, the world’s largest production scale, and the world’s first export volume. 60% of the mainland’s rare earth production is used for export, accounting for more than 63% of international trade. Moreover, the mainland is also the only country in the world that supplies large quantities of rare earth products of different grades and different varieties.
Domestic rare earth resources are mainly divided into two major parts: the north and south: the north is mainly composed of Baiyun Obo's large iron-rare earth polymetallic symbiotic ore, which is a light rare earth resource, with an industrial reserve of 43.5 million tons, accounting for about 80% of the domestic rare earth industrial reserves. The south is mainly composed of ionic medium-heavy rare earth rare earth ore, which is a unique new rare earth ore.
At present, rare earth resources with mining value in China are spread across the southeast, northwest and northeast, with twenty provinces and autonomous regions.
The mining of rare earths is based on the reserves of rare earth resources. After decades of hard work, the production scale of the domestic rare earth industry has been continuously expanding. Now the domestic production of rare earth mineral products has reached more than 30,000 tons, making it a veritable world's number one rare earth producer.
Although Ye Ziping was not very clear about these situations, he probably knew a little, so he said to Ye Kai, "Take the current 30,000 tons of rare earth production, the export is about 20,000 tons, and the total value is only less than 100 million US dollars. If you really want to exchange it with more than 100 tons of gold, even if you mine it for decades and then sell it, you can't get the money back, let alone invest in various equipment or something. This is a loss-making transaction."
The current price of gold is basically $390 per ounce, which is equivalent to $14 per gram of gold. Then the price of a ton of gold is $14 million, and a hundred tons of gold is $1.4 billion.
The gold Ye Kai can be worth about 2 billion US dollars, and it is not cost-effective to exchange it for rare earth mining rights and export rights. Including investments in all aspects, he may not be able to recover the cost within fifty years.
In Ye Ziping's eyes, Ye Kai has always been a careful calculation and never suffered a loss. I don't know why he got angry today and gave up such a big profit. It's really a bit unnatural.
"Boy, don't you have a fever? Or are the gold price not calculated clearly?" Ye Ziping reached out and touched Ye Kai's head, and asked curiously.
"I'm very normal for nothing." Ye Kai waved his head and said with some dissatisfaction, "If Comrade Hong Zheng asks this question, Dad, you just answer this way. As for how they will decide, it's their business. I don't force anything on this matter."
Seeing that Ye Kai didn't know each other, Ye Ziping nodded and said casually, "Okay, since you don't care about money, I have nothing to say. If you meet Comrade Hong Zheng again, I will convey your meaning."
As a father, Ye Ziping knew that Ye Kai had a lot of money. Although they were all under the names of Zhong Liyu and others, Ye Kai was the one who played the decisive role. Therefore, he was not worried that Ye Kai would be able to spend money when he had no money. He was serious now that Ye Kai was in the position of a department-level official, but it was not suitable to be related to so much money.
Therefore, Ye Ziping did not think there was any problem with Ye Kai's requirement to exchange gold for the mining rights and export rights of domestic rare earths, but he didn't know much about what Ye Kai wanted to do.
But no matter what, as long as the domestic demand for rare earths is guaranteed, as for how to tell the export, Ye Ziping doesn’t think it’s a big deal. Although some countries are indeed relying on the mainland’s rare earth exports, if the entire rare earth industry is controlled in private hands, then how Ye Kai operates can also be pushed to the end, indicating that it is powerless.
When Ye Ziping thought about it this way, he felt that Ye Kai was playing a big game of chess.
"I feel like you are digging a hole again and preparing to bury people. I don't know who should be unlucky this time." Ye Ziping thought about it more and more, so he laughed.
