Chapter 1772 The Diligent and Inquiring Secretary (First Update)
Sitting on the plane, looking at the dark night outside and the stars in the sky, Ye Linqinwa sighed.
Recently, she felt like she had had enough of all the plane rides she had taken in her entire life.
First, I took a plane from the Czech Republic to neighboring France, and then flew from France to the United Kingdom.
Next, I flew from the UK to Xiangjiang, and then from Xiangjiang to Australia.
Now she is on a plane flying to Los Angeles, USA.
A simple calculation shows that the number is 30,000 kilometers.
Sitting on the plane, even in first class, Ye Linqinwa felt uncomfortable.
After all, it is a flight of more than ten hours, and the body and mind will be exhausted.
I heard that my boss bought a Gulfstream private jet. It was supposed to be delivered in August, but some renovations and modifications delayed it, so it could only be delivered in November.
It just so happened that this time when I returned to Xiangjiang from the United States, I could sit down.
I heard that there are three rooms inside, and it would be great to be able to sleep in them.
It's a pity that this is just a thought. I am just a secretary. How can I go to sleep in the room?
But after all, this is a private jet, and the position is very spacious. It is more convenient to adjust it to a bed for sleeping, at least it is much better than the current semi-lying position.
However, the flight was too long and I couldn’t sleep for that long.
When she woke up, Ye Linqinwa saw Yin Jun next to her, dimming the lights and reading a book.
Ye Linqinwa now has no problem speaking Mandarin and Cantonese, but she is still working hard to learn the profound and profound Chinese characters. For example, she only recognized three Chinese characters in the title of the book. ", "home", "book".
"Master Jun, what are you reading?" Ye Linqinwa asked smoothly as she sat up.
"Oh, it's a letter from Zeng Guofan." The young man smiled, "It's a letter written by the most famous official in China in the past three hundred years to his family. It contains many principles of life and work. Later generations edited them. It’s in a volume, so I’m lucky enough to see it.”
After writing down the name, Ye Linqinwa decided to buy a copy and read it after returning to Xiangjiang.
At the same time, she felt a little emotional.
The last time he flew back to Xiangjiang from the UK, Yin Jun took time to read. The same is true now. He really never forgets to study anytime and anywhere.
Ye Linqinwa has seen many young people of the same age as Yin Jun, but they have never worked so hard. Even students whose families are not wealthy do not work hard enough.
The first advantage she learned from Yin Jun was seriousness, then dedication, and then hard work.
After spending so many months together, Ye Linqinwa discovered that Yin Jun had countless advantages. It was an impossible task for her to try to catch up with him.
Even if you want to catch up with his back, it is so far out of reach.
After regaining her mind, Ye Linqinwa took a bottle of water next to her and drank a few sips, becoming more energetic.
"Master Jun, can I ask you a few questions?" Ye Linqinwa said cautiously.
"What aspect?" Yin Jun asked.
"It's about the Duanyun iron ore area that our Qilin Group found in Western Australia." Ye Linqinwa said.
Yin Jun noticed that she actually imitated him and liked to use some baby sounds, but Yin Jun didn't try to point it out.
In fact, Yin Jun's language skills were pretty good in his previous life. Although he did not systematically learn foreign languages, after several years of data collection and self-study, he was able to speak simple Japanese and English, and to the ears of ordinary people from these two countries, They all think the accent is very authentic.
His current accent is more northern, with a slight accent, but he is not as fond of word-picking as people from Huajing. This accent is equivalent to the standard pronunciation in movies and TV dramas, and will be very popular in the future.
This secretary's language learning ability is also very amazing. In order to integrate into Xiangjiang and to communicate better with Yin Jun, he learned Mandarin and Cantonese as soon as he came here, and he learned them together.
With such serious efforts, she now has no problem communicating with herself, but it is also difficult for her.
"Ask, I'll answer whatever I can." Yin Jun nodded.
It just so happened that he was also bored, so it would be nice to chat with Ye Linqinwa.
Not only is this girl beautiful, but she is also very tall. Although she is a bit thinner, she has a flawless face and is very comfortable to look at.
"What do you think, you actually want to get 100,000 square kilometers of exploration rights from the beginning?" Yelinqinwa said straightforwardly, "For such a large piece of land, you pay tens of millions of dollars to Western Australia for exploration rights licenses every year. Fee, if you gain nothing, isn’t it a very serious loss?”
Of course, prospecting rights are not obtained for free.
No country is willing to let you explore for mines for free. Doesn’t that mean that if you can’t prospect for mines, you won’t lose anything, and then you only pay when you prospect for mines? Isn’t this a risk-free and guaranteed profit?
Anyway, as long as you think there is a mine, just pay the money to explore it yourself. If you find it, you will make a fortune; if not, you will waste the prospecting fee.
And it happens every year, it’s not just a lump sum payment.
Otherwise, if you pay a sum of money and keep occupying this place, even if the ore is not mined, you will not stop. Wouldn't the country suffer a huge loss?
If prospecting fees are charged every year, this one will not be able to support it. After the application contract is invalidated, the next person will continue to come without believing in evil.
For the government, isn’t this a resource that can be reused?
That’s pretty good!
Therefore, there has never been anyone like Yin Jun who applied for exploration rights for 100,000 square kilometers in one go.
Even giants such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Nippon Steel have never done this.
Although they have money, money is needed everywhere in the world, including detecting and refining ores, etc. How can they spend tens of millions of dollars every year to waste it?
Ye Linqinwa has read a lot of reports on this aspect recently, and everyone has several guesses.
The first is that Yin Jun has the most reliable channels and knows that large iron ore areas will definitely be produced in this area.
This may be news from other mining companies, or it may be that Yin Jun bribed some mining experts and got the news from them.
The second is that Yin Jun has such a strong gambling habit that he just encircles a large piece of land and starts reading.
Fortunately, Yin Jun won the bet.
The third one is even more ridiculous. They said that Yin Jun knew about witchcraft and magic, so he knew there was iron ore here.
But this argument is the most untenable. Although Yin Jun is a genius, he is not to this point. Otherwise, how could he directly circle 100,000 square kilometers of land for prospecting?
Ye Linqinwa was very interested in these theories. Now that she had the opportunity, of course she would ask her boss.
"If you want to do business, of course you have to pay a price." Yin Jun said, "The iron ore in the Pilbara region is concentrated in the northwest and northeast areas, while there have been no major developments in the south and west for decades. discovery.
I think it's geographically unlikely. There should be good iron ore resources in the surrounding area, so I'll draw a larger area and give it a try. If I can find it, of course it would be best. If I can't find it, I can sustain losses of tens of millions of dollars every year for more than ten years. Anyway, I am willing to admit defeat and do not blame others for doing things. "
Ye Linqinwa is also honest and thinks Yin Jun's statement is reasonable, which is indeed the case.
But she also felt that her boss's luck was still very good. In just a few months, he found the Christmas Creek Iron Mine, and a few months later, he found the Duanyun Mine.
"It's not easy for us to get these two mining areas. Why are we in such a hurry to mine them? And it is said that the amount is more than the 100 million tons originally expected?" Yelinqinwa said, "The iron ore contract is three to five times once signed. year, if we wait until two years later for the price increase, wouldn’t we lose a lot?”
"Compared to my business in the mainland, this small amount of money is nothing." Yin Jun said, "Besides, I am a Chinese. Do I have to worry about doing something for my poor and backward motherland?"
This is really grand to say.
What kind of man do women like?
There may be some who like gentle little men, some who like submissive men, and some who like prodigal men, but the vast majority of women like older men.
Especially a man who is responsible and upright.
Now that Ye Linqinwa heard this, her heart trembled.
This is no small benefit!
According to Yin Jun's idea, if added together, the price difference would be at least more than a billion US dollars.
If we keep doing this for twenty or thirty years, it will cost at least several billion dollars!
Not to mention that Ye Linqinwa had already known that Yin Jun's business in mainland China had promised that within ten years, not a penny would flow out of the mainland, and all of it would be developed there.
What a big concession is this?
Compared with today's billions of dollars, it is not bad at all.
If this money is taken abroad, even if it is just Xiangjiang, it will earn Yin Jun no less than billions of dollars.
Staying in a poor and backward place like mainland China is simply a huge waste.
But Yin Jun just did it.
Others are laughing at Yin Jun who is eager to show his courtesy and has no brains at all.
But Ye Linqinwa now understands what a noble spirit this person has?
How respectable is a man like this who never forgets his poor compatriots at home when he gets rich? How admirable?
In Ye Linqinwa's view, Yin Jun's ambition made her even more nervous than if he could earn tens of billions of dollars and become the richest man in the world.
She had warned herself a long time ago that when working around Yin Jun, she must not confuse work with feelings.
You absolutely cannot fall in love with this man.
Because there are already enough women around him, and he doesn't want to be like those oriental women, with several... or even a dozen sharing one man.
But now it seems that Ye Linqinwa herself has sadly discovered that her defense line is getting weaker and weaker!
