Chapter 400: The value of Glassberg

"Ava will stay and be responsible for the finishing touches. I will leave with Barsh about the bar. I will leave first." The next day, Li Zitao went to the airport without breakfast.
He really can't get used to the food here, there is nothing like his appetite.
So Li Zitao would rather eat canned food on the plane than the combination of ‘milk tea’ and ‘pancake’.
"Lily, do you have any dessert?" On the plane, Li Zitao had seven or eight empty tin boxes in front of him, leaning comfortably on the sofa to prepare some dessert.
"How about strawberry pudding? Another glass of Margarita, I try to add new elements to it." Lily stepped on the brisk pace and came over with the tray.
"You're so sweet." Margaret with ice wine added, it tastes a bit cooler and jerky, but the taste is not bad.
Butter pudding is very good. Lily made it herself. Her spare time is very busy.
In addition to studying dance, she also reported on social etiquette, cooking, bartending, and art appreciation. It seems that she has made a lot of preparations for her future life.
Li Zitao did not intend to disappoint her: "This is the room key of the Beverly Waldorf Hotel. I think you need a new home."
Looking at the key in Li Zitao's hand, Lily jumped up excitedly, and after an excited kiss, he wrapped his arms around his shoulder obsessively, and then leaned down obediently and bowed his head.
Li Zitao is very fond of this well-behaved flight attendant, because she never asks, nor does she cause trouble, and seeing her only makes people feel relaxed.
A brief summary: beautiful, good work, non-sticky.
The dancing lady last night made Li Zitao waste a lot of energy, so he did not indulge on the plane, but hugged her and made a good rest.
The plane will land at the Indonesian capital airport tomorrow morning. He needs to meet the Indonesian Minister of Energy and the head of the national mining industry.
According to the results of exploration and testing, the Grasberg open-pit copper-gold mine has a reserve of nearly 10,000 tons.
Among them, the gold content is the highest, about 3500 tons, copper mine is about 3300 tons, silver mine is about 2000 tons, and the value is more than one trillion.
This news has now been completely blocked, and only the major shareholders of AD-B, as well as the top level of the Indonesian government know.
Negotiations are coming to an end, and no one wants to be at a critical juncture.
The arrival of Li Zitao will put some pressure on the Indonesian government to make the negotiation more smoothly and sign the mining rights contract as soon as possible.
After successfully arriving at the Indonesian Capital Airport, Li Zitao met the deputy minister of energy, the head of the national mining industry, and the secretary arranged for him by AD-B beside the runway.
In fact, the so-called national mining is an empty shell that was urgently established after the AD-B and the Indonesian government began negotiations. Li Zitao did not know what was necessary for its existence.
"Mr. Perry, our negotiations have been going on for half a year. I don't know where the problem is?" Li Zitao and the deputy minister had a brief exchange in the car.
The Deputy Minister was equally embarrassed about the question raised by AD-B. This matter would not have been so troublesome.
AD-B has obtained the right to survey and mining, but it is to blame that the benefits generated here are too large, which makes countless people feel jealous.
If not considering the influence of AD-B, the Indonesian side wants to unilaterally break the contract and directly take the mine as its own.
"Your Excellency Charlie, the government needs to consider the feelings of the people and protect their interests. We will be scolded as a traitor."
The Deputy Minister also has his own concerns. This is also the biggest concern of Indonesia. Anyone who dares to sign this document will be nailed to the post of shame.
"Don't Indonesia worry about the international influence? If you want to overthrow it, AD-B won't give up if you want to overthrow it." This is not a change in the vegetable market. If you don't want to pay a few cents Too.
If Indonesia wants to break the contract, AD-B will make it pay a painful price.
It would not hesitate to completely block trade with Indonesia, increase tariffs, and even wage war.
And Indonesia’s credibility in Western countries will become worthless, which is what they are afraid of.
Indonesia has no ability to resist such a huge interest group. They can't stand it. Everyone knows that compromise is sooner or later. Li Zitao's arrival is just to speed up the process.
"Mr. Minister will arrive at the hotel at noon for lunch with you. I hope you will reach a new agreement by then."
After sending Li Zitao to the hotel, Deputy Minister Perry left this sentence and left. Don’t look at him as a Deputy Minister. In this matter, it can only be reduced to errands.
"What about the negotiation team of AD-B?" Li Zitao asked the secretary.
"Waiting for your arrival at the hotel, sir." The serious-looking secretary led the way, and Li Zitao followed with two bodyguards.
A well-informed person recognized his identity when he first appeared, and interested people are following this negotiation, but they are not aware of the mine's reserves.
They just want to take a slice of the deal after AD-B and Indonesia reach an agreement, transportation, instruments, workers, etc., all aspects are waiting.
In the hotel's conference room, Li Zitao saw the negotiation team of AD-B. This time he was led by his old acquaintance, brother-in-law, Jean.
"What was the other party's condition for the last negotiation with Indonesia?" Li Zitao asked while looking at the meeting minutes.
"From the initial 51% to 15%, but the board of directors meant to control the shares within 10%." Let some bitterly said.
This six-month period is his most troublesome time. Every day there is an endless meeting of the general assembly ~EbookFREE.me~ and also to maintain communication with the shareholders of AD-B.
In order to ensure that the message does not leak, they even invented a password to send messages to each other by telegram.
"Let's eat together at noon, and our minister." After reading the highlights marked in the meeting, Li Zitao and Jean agreed to return to the room.
He needed some time to think alone, until the secretary reminded him to go downstairs, and then came to the restaurant in a coat.
Entering the restaurant, Li Zitao saw and let the minister sitting by the window at a glance, the other party saw him and got up smiling.
"Minister Bekad, I'm very happy to see you." Li Zitao said with a tight grip.
"It's also an honor to see you, please." Bekad smiled slightly.
The two sides were seated again, and the dishes were brought up. Bekad pointed to the French fried fish steak on the plate and introduced; "The fish steak here is very delicious, you should eat more."
"Thank you, but let's talk about the business first!" Li Zitao said straightly after drinking a sip of wine.
"We are businessmen, we abide by the business rules, and the contract is everything. Finding Grasberg is the reward that AD-B spends countless manpower, material resources, and funds. Now you want to take a slice of it, which is against the business rules. ."
Hearing Li Zitao say this, Minister Bekad put down his knife and fork and said: "But we are not businessmen, sir, we need to be responsible for the people of Indonesia."
"Don't always mention this kind of sounding reason? Why do you always say that you are so great, AD-B is willing to let you give the people an explanation, but don't tire of talking."
Holding the fish steak with a silver fork, Li Zitao lifted a silver knife to cut a piece at the corner of the fish steak and smiled and said, "It has 7 percent. How about the share?"
