My 1999

After Delong acquired 51% of Huiyuan's equity, he borrowed 250 million Chinese dollars from Huiyuan in the next two years.

When Jianlibao acquires Huiyuan's 800 million Huaxia coins, the loan of 250 million Huaxia coins must first be deducted. The remaining 550 million Huaxia coins are the cash that Delong can actually get.

Tang Wanxin looked at the information in his hand and raised his head after a moment. His eyes roamed back and forth on the faces of the man and woman opposite him for a moment, and then he suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Xu and Miss Qiao are truly a perfect match. They are a perfect match. It's really enviable."

One of the two people was a bad guy, and the other was a bad guy, which made him feel uncomfortable.

However, he also admitted that Xu Liang's information was indeed threatening.

"You're grateful." Xu Liang said.

Qiao Yuhui smiled and said nothing.

Tang Wanxin withdrew his gaze, picked up a pen and signed his name on Qiao Yuhui's contract.

He had planned to sell Huiyuan, and Qiao Yuhui's conditions were more favorable than Zhu Xinli's, so he simply went along with the situation.

Qiao Yuhui took the contract and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, happy cooperation."

"Our Tunhe Group, a subsidiary of Delong, specializes in agriculture, animal husbandry and fruit industry. We hope to continue to cooperate with Jianlibao in the future."

"Of course, the sugar content and taste of fruits in the Western Regions are generally better than those in the Mainland. Delong is a giant in this field. Of course we will continue to cooperate with you."

Tang Wanxin smiled slightly and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

But when he turned to look at Xu Liang, his smile faltered.

At some point, a new document appeared in the latter's hand.

Xu Liang handed it over with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, I have a cooperation project with Delong here, which will benefit you at all."

Tang Wanxin instinctively felt that this guy had evil intentions.

But out of curiosity, I picked up the information on the table.

After taking a look, his expression changed.

"Mr. Xu really knows everything about our Delong."

"As the saying goes: Know your enemy and know yourself and you will win a hundred battles. I am an investor. If I want to make money, the most important thing is to get accurate information." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Tang Wanxin glanced at him and shook his head without hesitation.

"Lop Nur potassium salt is not for sale."

Lop Nur is the world's famous "Sea of ​​Death", no man's land and "extreme drought". It is a barren land unsuitable for human survival.

When people mention Lop Nur, they always think of "Loulan". 1,700 years ago, the ancient country of Loulan mysteriously disappeared. In 1900, Swedish geographer and explorer Sven Hedin discovered the ruins of the ancient city.

The Loulan beauty Xiaohe Princess unearthed here still attracts the attention of the world.

The reason for the disappearance of Loulan Kingdom is global drought. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is rising, and the warm and humid air currents from the Pacific and Indian Oceans are difficult to reach here. The drought is gradually intensifying. In addition, humans have destroyed the ecological balance of nature, cut off water, overcultivated crops, etc. , eventually causing the entire lake to dry up.

The Lop Nur area has a hot climate, with the highest temperature in summer above 40 degrees. There is only more than 30 millimeters of precipitation every year, but the evaporation is as high as more than 3,000 millimeters.

The wind here is strong all year round, and June to August is the windy season, which often causes sandstorms. When strong winds strike, the flowing sand ridges and dunes roll forward, and sand particles fly all over the sky, making the sky dark and the earth dark. Windy days above level 8 can last for more than two months in Lop Nur, and the climate is extremely harsh.

In the middle of the last century, Lop Nur was completely dry.

After Lop Nur dried up, the surrounding ecological environment changed dramatically. Almost all the herbaceous plants died, and the poplar trees that guarded the desert died in tracts. The desert continued to advance. Lop Nur soon merged with the vast Taklimakan Desert, becoming a "death" with no grass growing. "The sea" is described as "there are no birds in the sky, no grass grows on the ground, the salt crust serves as a barrier, and the wind blows away the sand and stones."

For Lop Nur, in the early stages of the formation of the lake, affected by the climate, the lake had abundant water resources, wide waters, and low salinity. During this period, the lake's organisms flourished and the surrounding vegetation was dense.

As the regional climate gradually becomes arid, rainfall decreases, sunlight is intense, and evaporation increases. The lake basin changes. The evaporation of the water body exceeds the amount of water injected. The lake water continues to evaporate and shrink, causing the lake basin to shrink and the salinity of the lake water gradually increases. Rising, the salt lake was initially formed at this time.

Over time, the surface water with high salinity sinks to the bottom due to its high density, and the water with low salinity and low density rises to the surface, forming a double-layer structure in which the upper water body is salty and heavy, and the lower water body is saltier and heavier.

As the salinity of the lake water increases, the salts precipitate in order from small to large in solubility, forming concentric deposition phenomena at the bottom of the lake, and the salt lake is eventually formed.

Underneath the large and small salt shells are white salt deposits, and there are abundant brine resources between the crystals!

The brine contains precious potassium salt deposits. This magical treasure has alleviated the shortage of potassium fertilizer in China.

Potassium is one of the three elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that are indispensable for crop growth.

Potassium strengthens plant roots and improves fruit quality. If a plant is deficient in potassium, it will develop rickets and even die.

China is a large agricultural country and the second largest user of potassium salt in the world. Its cultivated land is widely deficient in potassium. However, China’s potassium fertilizer production cannot meet domestic demand, and its potassium self-sufficiency rate is only 30%.

For this reason, up to 90% of the potassium fertilizer the country needs every year must be imported. In addition to enduring the ridiculously high prices of foreign monopolies, it is often "stopped."

German experts issued the first "death warrant": China has no potassium salt resources.

In order to overcome the "potassium deficiency" barrier, the Chinese people have been struggling for sixty or seventy years. Several generations of scientists have worked hard and even sacrificed their precious lives. Among them is Peng Jiamu.

In the late 1980s, another scientific research team went deep into the hinterland of Lop Nur to carry out work.

This team is the first regional survey team of the Western Region Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. Its main task is to fill the gaps in the geological regional survey in the Lop Nur area. Before leaving the team, Chief Engineer Hu Jinqing said that there may be potassium salt in the central part of Lop Nur, so be careful when working.

Subsequently, in 1992, the third geological team formed a joint inspection team with the Western Region Salt Bureau, Bazhou Mine Management Bureau, and Ruoqiang Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. For the first time, several potassium salt drilling holes were drilled in the Luozhong area, and potassium-containing salts were obtained. Solid and liquid samples, and were publicly reported in "Chinese Geological News".

In 1995, Wang Mili and remote sensing expert Li Tingqi, with the support of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources, included the Lop Nur project into the national "305" project. The Academy of Geological Sciences provided money, and the third geological team provided personnel and equipment to jointly embark on a special census of Lop Nur potassium salts. , the first step in scientific research.

Delong, known for its strong execution ability, became the first investor in Lop Nur potassium salt, and organized the top domestic potash salt development and potassium salt comprehensive utilization team to enter Lop Nur for industrial development.

In 1998, in order to invest in the development of Lop Nur's abundant potassium salt, Delong began to study the fertilizer industry chain, and contacted the International Fertilizer Industry Association to obtain the world's authoritative fertilizer information, and strategically established the development of Lop Nur potassium salt.

In 2000, Xiyu Lop Nur Potash Technology Development Co., Ltd. was established with a registered capital of 70.25 million yuan. Its shareholders include Bazhou Sanwei Mining (a Delong enterprise), Xiyu Hami Gold Mine (invested on behalf of HM Municipal Government), Xiyu Delong, and Western Region Exploration Bureau and Changsha Design and Research Institute, etc.

Through equity penetration, Delong controls 80% of the shares of Lop Nur Potash.

Starting in 2000, the entrepreneurial team conducted research and experiments on Lop Nur brine indoors and at the Luobei test base.

In just 4 years, exploratory tests, small tests, pilot tests and industrial tests were completed in the hinterland of Lop Nur, reaching an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons of potassium sulfate, and completing a journey equivalent to 15 kilometers of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA. The 25-year construction process of Qalhan Salt Lake in Qinghai has created a miracle in the history of potassium salt development in the world.

Of course, Lop Nur potassium salt has just completed the pilot test and is preparing to conduct industrial experiments with an annual output of 20,000 tons.

So how high are the profit margins of potash fertilizer production?

According to Xu Liang's investigation, the gross profit margin of the potash fertilizer project of Salt Lake Potash Company, Asia's largest potash fertilizer manufacturer, is as high as 60.8%.

Calculated only based on the current domestic market price of 2,000 yuan per ton and a profit margin of 60%, the value of Lop Nur's 350 million tons of potassium salt mines is as high as 700 billion Chinese yuan.

This was the price in 2002. As a child from a rural family, he knew very well how high the price of fertilizer would be in the future.

Half of the cost of an acre of land is in chemical fertilizers.

The price of potash fertilizer can at least double.

It can be said that this is a golden bump, no, a diamond bump.

Although Lop Nur potassium salt is not inconspicuous in Delong's asset catalog, it is definitely the most valuable.

Xu Liang stared at it when he saw it.

This kind of mining project with high profit, low risk and stable income is better than real estate.

He never wanted to miss it.

"Mr. Tang, although Lop Nur potassium salt is good, I'm afraid Delong has no money to develop it. Why not sell it to me, and the price is guaranteed to satisfy you..."

Tang Wanxin waved his hand to interrupt him, "No need to say anything, Mr. Xu. Lop Nur potassium salt is Delong's core asset and will never be given to anyone."

Xu Liang stared closely at the short and fat man opposite him, seeing determination in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Liang smiled.

"Since Mr. Tang won't sell it, forget it."

Deron is not in a desperate situation yet. He still has a chance, so he doesn't intend to force it too much.

Tang Wanxin also felt relieved.

He didn't want to break up with Xu Liang either.

But the value of Lop Nur potassium salt is too high, and so much investment has been made before. It is about to be harvested. How can it be given away at this time?

"Mr. Tang, we at Hanhua have rich experience in private equity and hedge funds. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, HSBC, and the domestic Li Jiacheng family, Li Zhaoji family, etc. are all our clients. Do you, the Tang family, want to invest some too?"

You must know that Delong's current situation is not very good, and the Tang family always has to leave a way out for themselves. "

Tang Wanxin, who was about to refuse, suddenly stopped when his words reached his mouth.

There was a hint of thinking in his eyes.

As a person in the financial industry, he also has a certain understanding of Hanhua Capital, which has recently become popular in the private equity field at home and abroad.
