Memnon put down the newspaper in his hand. The cover of the newspaper was analyzing the lawsuit between Dulin and Donald and the Capet family. The sensational effect caused by this lawsuit attracted the attention of almost everyone, whether it was small vendors or those who went to wealthy families. People are very concerned. The only thing in this world that can attract people's attention more than money is the feud between wealthy families. Although he felt that this matter was a bit strange with Memnon's head, no matter how strange it was, it had nothing to do with him. He regarded it as a joke and asked casually, "What has Dulin been doing recently?"
Memnon's secretary immediately replied: "Dulin has been enclosing land in various places recently. He seems to have said that he wants to build the largest joint farm in the empire in the west...", and then the secretary told everything Dulin had done during this time. out. Dulin has applied for a business license for his farm, called "Western Star Organic Farm". It is said that he has also applied for an agricultural and animal husbandry company called "Western Star Future Ranch". Nowadays, many people in the west think that Dulin is crazy. Instead of doing so many businesses that can make a lot of money, he is setting up farms and ranches in the west. Is there something wrong with his brain
"Western Star Organic Farm?" Memnon read the words one by one and then sneered. As long as he doesn't mine, just let him farm if he is willing to farm, which just solves some troubles for himself. The environment in the west has always been a big problem. Increasing greening is also one of the assessment criteria for government departments at all levels. It would be the best thing if Dulin could turn the entire west into a huge farm. This would provide He saves a lot of trouble. Although he felt that Du Lin was a bit crazy, Memnon still asked, "How much land has he taken now?"
"He has already acquired 12,000 hectares of land and plans to continue to increase the amount of land in his hands."
Memnon nodded and did not continue to ask. Although twelve thousand hectares is not a small amount, it is still far behind those large farms. Besides, there is more land in the west. If he really wants to play with the farm, let him do it.
"Have the compensation been paid to the victims?"
"Yes, the money has been handed over to them..." The secretary trailed off as he said this. It was obvious that he still had something to say. Memnon immediately asked him to say what he wanted to say next, and then the secretary continued: "I've heard some bad news recently, and I don't know if I should report it to you."
Memnon took out a cigarette from his pocket. In fact, he did not smoke before, but after forming the Kadima Party this time, he had been forced to learn to use cigarettes to reduce stress and kill time. He lit his cigarette and nodded, "Say it and let me listen."
"When I went to supervise the payment of these compensation payments, I heard some people say... It is better to be dead than alive. I think this may cause a series of problems." The secretary's expression was very serious, and he supervised from the side. After all 96,000 yuan was distributed to each victim's family, when I found a restaurant on the roadside to fill my stomach, everyone around me was talking about it. Eight thousand yuan is not a small amount of money, even for people living in prosperous areas of the empire. It is approximately equivalent to an ordinary family's savings for more than ten years, but in the west, it only takes one person's death to get it. .
Many people are sighing, and even envious of the families of the victims. Although the family has lost one member, it has gained a large sum of money that can change their current life and even the future. This is a great help to the poor and backward western countries. The residents are very attractive. In this era that has not yet entered the era of pan-entertainment, creating humans has always been the main entertainment activity, bar none. The poorer and backward the place, the more serious this phenomenon is.
In the West, every family has at least two or more children, and some families even have five, six to seven or eight children. Those followers of the Envelope Earth God Cult will have more children at home because they can marry more wives and have more offspring.
Some people say that love is infinite, but in fact love is limited. When parents pour their love into one or two children, there is no more love to share equally with each child. Some of these children are pleasing to their eyes, and some are not pleasing to their eyes for various reasons. Even God cannot guarantee that everyone’s inner world is bright, so how can these people maintain their positive side in the process of the birth of complex human nature
We often see some children looking for jobs and taking on their own responsibilities at a young age, but this may not necessarily be the life choice forced by children who are not loved by their parents.
If, if a child could be sold for eight thousand yuan in the West, some families might be tempted!
Even if they don't use their own family members as victims, they can still receive these extremely important "subsidies" through adoption and other methods.
In addition, some families are in urgent need of a large amount of money, and those members with high enough ideological awareness may be able to overcome this hurdle with a grit of teeth. Therefore, Memnon's policy in the west itself has huge hidden dangers and loopholes.
When these hidden dangers and loopholes encounter a label that labels life with an accurate value, something unexpected will happen!
Speaking of other things, Memnon may need to think for a while before he can understand the meaning behind it, but as for the content related to money, this past old and dying draft horse was packaged as a healthy horse and defrauded Mr. Kesma. Qian's profiteer responded very quickly. He immediately realized that it was not impossible to exchange lives for money. Those gold diggers were gambling on the future with their lives. If they discovered that their social security system would become a brand new gold mine, it would definitely be fatal to his next steps. Influence.
Not to mention far-reaching things, the compensation alone is enough to bankrupt the Kadima Party, so this matter must be taken seriously.
He pondered for a moment and then ordered: "We need to distinguish between deliberate casualties and natural casualties, immediately suspend the compensation matter, and come up with a truly effective method for me."
On Monday morning, Dulin came to the state capital to attend an auction. A copper mine was discovered in Kingley Canyon last week, with a copper grade of 2.1%. The reserves currently explored are pretty good. The gold prospectors who discovered this vein privatized the land and instead of mining it themselves, they put it up for auction directly. For most gold prospectors, although mining their own ore veins can ensure stable and sustainable income, they still have to face a lot of troubles.
The first trouble is start-up capital. The discovery of a mineral vein requires a large amount of capital investment from the construction of the camp to mining and later transportation. This is not something that can be done with a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. If these gold diggers had enough money, they wouldn't be gold diggers anymore.
The second trouble is the threat from bandits and horse bandits. New mineral veins mean new profits. As long as the mineral veins are blood-washed and the private land is re-entered into the auction sequence, the big mine owners will pay them quite generous commissions for this. Ordinary gold diggers do not have such risk resistance capabilities, and they cannot even passively defend themselves.
And some other troubles, in short this is not a simple matter.
Therefore, after gold prospectors discover a mineral vein, in most cases they buy the land where the mineral vein is located and then auction it directly. This is the safest approach. Although the money from the auction is far less than the money from mining, the money is very safe and enough for them to enjoy a good life.
"What do you think the price of this auction will be?" Dulin walked towards the auction hall while discussing the possible prices of this auction with Fedeli.
Because this is not a mineral vein that was designated by a large mine owner or interest group to be blood-washed, but a purely freely traded mineral vein, so anyone can participate in the auction and put up a sign to bid. Dulin happened to meet Fedeli on the road, and the two made an appointment.
Fedeli smiled and patted Dulin's arm, "You have to ask those tycoons if they have any demand for this copper mine. You have to know that non-ferrous metal veins such as copper and aluminum have long been monopolized by several major metal companies. . They are able to obtain these mineral deposits at prices far beyond what people can bear to ensure their dominance in this field. This is already an internal rule of the mining industry. If I were to price this mineral deposit, it would be. The price will not be higher than 1.7 million, but they may sell it for 2.7 million!”
What Fedeli said is not unusual news. There are similar trust companies in all walks of life. Their method of monopolizing the source of the industry is also very simple, which is the most common way of hurting others in the capital game. Continuously snap up all the mineral veins at exponentially higher prices to ensure that they are the first in this industry category, which is their rule of survival. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, they may not make much money in the long run by purchasing mineral veins at overpriced prices, although this is indeed the case.
But please don’t ignore their control over this industry category. When almost all of a certain product is in their hands, they have pricing power. The current price of a meal of pure copper in the market is around 620 yuan, but as long as they have demand, the price will immediately rise to 700 yuan, or even 800 yuan. Because everything is in their hands, they control the vast majority of copper ore sources. They only need to fabricate or even create a mining accident, and the price will immediately skyrocket.
You can be dissatisfied with their pricing, but apart from buying what you want from them, you can’t find it anywhere else!
