Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"A small company I've never heard of wants to meet me?" Yang Mo asked in surprise.

Luo Binghui nodded: "It seems to be called Shanghang County Mining Company. The company should be very small. There are only two people here, waiting at the reception desk every day..."

"No matter what their technical level is, first of all, their vision is very unique! At least they know to come here to look for opportunities. Mr. Luo, please ask someone to bring them here..." Yang Mo said with a smile.

Luo Binghui looked at Yang Mo in surprise, shook his head and left. After a while, Luo Binghui walked in with two men.

Yang Mo almost became happy when he saw this person...

One of them, a fairer and fatter man, respectfully handed over a business card and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Yang! I am Lin Feng, the manager of Shanghang County Mining Company..."

"Who is this?" Yang Mo smiled and nodded, but looked at the other thin black man with interest and asked.

The thin black man said quickly: "Mr. Yang, my name is Chen Jinhe, a technician from Shanghang County Mining Company..."

"Shanghang County Mining Company? How big is your company? How much is your registered capital? What projects have you done?" Yang Mo asked seriously.

Lin Feng looked embarrassed and looked at Chen Jinhe with pleading eyes.

Chen Jinhe said without changing his face or heart: "Shanghang County Mining Company is still in the start-up stage, with a total of 76 employees and a registered capital of 50. Although there are no projects that have been completed and put into production, our technical strength is not bad. We It is a subordinate unit of the Southeast Provincial Geological Bureau. Most of its employees come from the geological brigade and have certain technical accumulation in the exploration and mining of non-ferrous metals such as gold mines, copper mines, lead-zinc mines..."

"Why did you come all the way from Shanghang County to see me? Whose idea was it between you two?" Yang Mo continued to ask.

Chen Jinhe replied: "I overheard my classmates talking about this Asian, African and Latin American Industrial Development Forum, so I wanted to try my luck!"

"How's your luck? Have you talked about business?" Yang Mo asked with a smile.

Chen Jinhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not yet, but this trip is not without gain!"

"Oh? Can you come and listen?" Yang Mo asked with interest.

"The Asian, African and Latin American Industrial Development Forum planned by Zhiyuan Group shows a larger pattern and greater wisdom than ordinary enterprises. It also brings new ideas to domestic mining enterprises. They can use our mature exploration and mining technology to go abroad and mine the mineral resources of the African continent. Rich, but with harsh natural conditions and backward infrastructure, multinational mining giants are reluctant to go there for the time being. This is a good opportunity for our Chinese mining companies..." Chen Jinhe said with confidence.

"Are you a bit idealistic? Mine exploration and development requires a lot of financial support. Does your Shanghang County Mining Company have sufficient foreign exchange quota?" Yang Mo became more childlike when he saw his old friend and asked jokingly.

Chen Jinhe said calmly: "No! That's why I made a special trip to visit you. I want to cooperate with Zhiyuan Group to jointly develop mining resources on the African continent..."

"Cooperate with the Zhiyuan Group? You only have 76 people in total, and the registered capital is only 50. How can you cooperate? How can Zhiyuan trust you to hand over projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars to you? How can Zhiyuan safeguard its rights if something goes wrong?" Luo Binghui asked on the side.

"Although Shanghang County Mining Company is small in scale, we are backed by the Southeast Provincial Geological Bureau, the National Ministry of Metallurgy, and the entire country. We are not only capable of surveying and developing overseas mines, but also have the ability to deal with extreme situations. Keep it secret!" Chen Jinhe defended confidently.

"Shanghang County Mining Company has joined the Zhiyuan Group as a whole. I will hand over all the exploration and development of Zhiyuan Group's mines in Africa to you for overall arrangement. How about it?" Yang Mo looked at Chen Jinhe and said calmly.

Lin Feng and Chen Jinhe were all stunned. Even Luo Binghui, who was used to Yang Mo's bizarre decisions, reminded him in a low voice: "Mr. Yang, the exploration and development of mines in Africa involves tens of billions of dollars, and it is not child's play..."

Yang Mo, however, remained unmoved and continued to ask: "You also heard that this is a tens of billions of dollars project. Do you dare to come?"

Chen Jinhe felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his forehead, and he asked dumbfounded: "Mr. Yang, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, I will form the Zhiyuan Mining Group Company under the leadership of Shanghang County Mining Company. You, Chen Jinhe, will be the first general manager of Zhiyuan Mining Group!" Yang Mo's every word seemed to carry a magic spell, stimulating Chen Jinhe.

"Mr. Yang..., Comrade Lin Feng is the manager of Shanghang County Mineral Company. I am actually not from Shanghang County Mineral Company. I am an engineer from the Southeast Provincial Geological Bureau. I am doing a gold mine survey in Zijin Mountain, Shanghang County. I encouraged Manager Lin to come to Pengcheng to look for opportunities..." Chen Jinhe stammered.

Lin Feng also nodded repeatedly, confirming that what Chen Jinhe said was true!

Yang Mo was secretly proud, do you think I don't know your details?Otherwise, can I leave such a big project to you?But he said very sincerely: "None of these are important. Heroes do not care about their origins. Zhiyuan Group never cares about seniority. You can encourage Manager Tonglin to come to the Asia, Africa and Latin America Industrial Development Forum to look for opportunities, which shows that you do not lack strategic vision. It happens to be You are a geological exploration engineer again. The only thing you lack is capital operation experience. We will equip you with a professional investment and legal team..."

Chen Jinhe also slowly recovered from the shock and began to show his shrewd and cunning side. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Mr. Yang, Shanghang County Mining Company is a state-owned enterprise after all. You can't just join the Zhiyuan Group as a whole for no reason, right? Doesn’t this result in the loss of state-owned assets..."

Yang Mo waved his hand and said: "Of course, how can our Zhiyuan Group take advantage of the government? The Shanghang County Mining Company can only be registered for two or three years at most? Zhiyuan can compensate the Southeast Provincial Geological Bureau for an additional 500 million yuan. With this money , the Southeast Provincial Geological Bureau can definitely rebuild the Shanghang County Mineral Company!"

"Five million is enough to rebuild the Shanghang County Mining Company, but the Southeast Provincial Geological Bureau will not easily agree to the loss of so many professional mining exploration personnel, unless Zhiyuan Group is willing to use part of the equity of Zhiyuan Mining Group as compensation..." Chen Jinhe said without thinking.

Chen Jinghe’s college dream was to mine gold. After graduation, he was assigned to the Geological Brigade of Western Min in Fujian Province. While doing a gold mine survey project in Zijin Mountain, he discovered the gold mine he had been dreaming about day and night.

In 1992, Chen Jinghe resigned from his "iron job" as the youngest senior engineer of the Fujian Provincial Geological Bureau, and took the initiative to apply to Shanghang County Mining Company (the predecessor of Zijin Mining) where the Zijinshan Gold Mine is located, as the general manager, and developed it himself Zijinshan Gold Mine.At that time, the company was still an unknown small business with only 76 employees and total assets of 351 million yuan. It relied on buying and selling sporadic mineral products and had an annual net profit of only 3 yuan.
