Chapter 290: There is a Huge Surprise
Yoshida Yuki was somewhat surprised by Li Tang's firm rejection. "Perhaps my explanation wasn't clear enough?"
"I understood your point perfectly," Li Tang replied firmly.
Although Li Tang would never agree to others investing in his holding company, he recognized that Yoshida Yuki and his team could still be of some strategic value. "However, regarding the Talege Coal Mine project, I believe we can discuss potential cooperation."
"Only the coal project?" Yoshida Yuki clearly wasn't fully satisfied with such limited collaboration.
"I know you've been negotiating extensively with the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Authority and have basically outlined a framework for cooperation," Li Tang spoke confidently, as if fully aware of their internal negotiations. "You want Mongolia itself to finance the coal mining operations and ideally construct the railway. But you know very well that Mongolia simply doesn't have the capital to build a railway two or three hundred kilometers long. Even if funding existed, the bigger obstacle is gaining approval from our Huaxia to connect into our rail network."
"Perhaps we could adopt other solutions," Yoshida Yuki countered, unwilling to concede defeat.
"Indeed, I'm aware of your alternative approach as well." Li Tang always appeared to have foreseen everything. "You could settle for lower coal production without a railway, relying instead on trucks for transportation. But this approach is incredibly inefficient—the maximum annual production would only be around one million tons!"
The main difficulty in developing the coal project wasn't the mine itself. The coal was near the surface and easy to mine, and extracting a million tons annually was certainly feasible, even using simple, crude methods. However, this amount clearly wouldn't satisfy Shin-Nippon Steel's enormous appetite, nor meet Mongolia's ambition for maximum economic returns.
"I must say, you're very well informed about our negotiations," Yoshida Yuki admitted frankly. "You proposed a three-party collaboration involving Shin-Nippon Steel, your company, and Mongolia. How exactly would that work?"
"You would help us negotiate with Mongolia and secure the operating rights to all six mining areas," Li Tang stated plainly.
"Your demands are quite high. Mongolia has only agreed to grant us operating rights for one mining area," Yoshida replied skeptically.
"That's because we have both the capability and determination to fully develop this mine!" Li Tang didn't waste words, continuing directly to outline his proposed terms of cooperation. "If the coal mine is successfully developed, we agree to provide Shin-Nippon Steel with at least 30 million tons of premium-grade coking coal over the next ten years."
"Thirty million tons?" Yoshida Yuki pondered the figure thoughtfully. Globally, coal resources were abundant—especially in Huaxia—but high-quality coking coal remained exceptionally scarce and valuable. Japan relied heavily on Australia for its coking coal, making the establishment of alternative sources crucial for its long-term strategic stability. Even a large nation like Huaxia imported significant amounts of high-quality coking coal, primarily from Australia, indicating its global scarcity and strategic importance.
"You wouldn't need to worry about mining or logistics at all. Working with us, the coal from Talege would arrive reliably at your shipping docks. Honestly speaking, this kind of partnership saves you considerable trouble, effort, and expense," Li Tang emphasized confidently, sipping his tea calmly as he observed Yoshida's reaction.
Yoshida Yuki sank into deep thought. Truthfully, thirty million tons of coking coal delivered annually would greatly meet Shin-Nippon Steel's demands. But spreading it out over ten years made it a minor contribution compared to their vast annual requirements. Nonetheless, such cooperation clearly seemed more feasible and reliable than relying solely on Mongolia to manage coal extraction. Yet he felt uneasy trusting this seemingly inexperienced young businessman from Huaxia.
"He just seems too young," Yoshida silently thought, hesitating momentarily before responding.
"We would still prefer investing directly in your parent company—Li Tang Prosperity Holdings," Yoshida reiterated, reluctant to commit only to a long-term coal supply agreement. Such a minor agreement appeared trivial to Shin-Nippon Steel, the world's leading steel producer.
"It appears our visions differ," Li Tang shrugged indifferently. He wasn't disappointed. Cooperating with Shin-Nippon Steel was primarily to reduce competition over Mongolia's coal project. But since neither party seemed particularly enthusiastic, further discussion seemed unnecessary.
"We will continue making every effort to secure the coal mining rights ourselves. After all, we've negotiated with Mongolia for a long time," Yoshida declared firmly. He stood, bowed deeply toward Li Tang, and politely concluded, "Please take care, Mr. Li."
"Then we'll just have to wait and see whom Mongolia chooses to cooperate with," Li Tang replied nonchalantly, not even standing to bid farewell.
Qin Jianshe courteously escorted Yoshida and his group to the door. Returning shortly after, he found Li Tang still leisurely drinking tea.
"Do you think the Japanese might compete more aggressively against us by investing heavily—maybe even constructing the railway with Mongolia—to secure the coal mining rights?" Qin Jianshe voiced his lingering concerns.
"If they intended to do that, they would have committed long ago," Li Tang responded confidently, entirely unconcerned about any threat Yoshida's group might pose. If Shin-Nippon Steel truly had the courage and willingness to commit substantial capital to develop the Talege Coal Mine, the situation today would have been vastly different. In Li Tang's memory, the Talege Coal Mine was destined to remain undeveloped, stagnating indefinitely in Mongolia's hands.
"What should we do next?" Qin Jianshe asked uneasily, unsure of what preparations might be necessary.
"No preparations are needed," Li Tang answered simply. "Just wait for Mongolia's decision. Unless they're foolish, they'll clearly understand who is genuinely interested in seriously developing the coal project."
"You really have nerves of steel," Qin sighed with admiration, noticing Li Tang's calm, confident demeanor.
…
After leaving Southern Wilderness Resources Company's offices, Yoshida headed directly to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Authority. Following a brief chat with Jirigala, he proceeded straight to Minister Bayar's office.
"So, you met with Southern Wilderness Resources Company?" Minister Bayar asked immediately upon seeing Yoshida.
"Yes. I strongly condemned their sudden interference in the coal project!" Yoshida said angrily. "Their actions were extremely rude and disrespectful. After talking to them, I seriously question their motives behind entering this coal project."
"What motives could they possibly have?" Minister Bayar asked curiously.
Mongolia had generally been cautious toward Huaxia investors entering the mining sector, often fearing opportunists who only sought short-term profits without genuine commitment to long-term development. Southern Wilderness Resources Company was clearly different, though. They had invested substantial capital into serious exploration, discovering the massive Talege Copper-Gold Mine. Furthermore, their submitted mining plans were detailed, professional, and well-designed, clearly reflecting genuine intent.
"They've already gained control over Talege Copper-Gold Mine. If they also secure Talege Coal Mine, they'll effectively dominate Mongolia's economic lifelines!" Yoshida exclaimed dramatically.
Such an argument was not unfamiliar. Previously, Rio Tinto's representative Viduka had made precisely the same point, influencing Minister Bayar and causing him to delay the issuance of mining licenses to Southern Wilderness Resources. Remembering that mistake, Bayar felt a lingering unease and chose not to debate Yoshida extensively, instead opting for a more pragmatic approach.
"Mr. Yoshida, we've discussed cooperation extensively, yet haven't achieved a satisfactory resolution for either side. But now, circumstances have changed significantly. Someone has finally stepped forward willing to finance the railway construction."
In reality, both sides fully understood the underlying issue: neither party wanted to invest significant funds upfront. Shin-Nippon Steel refused due to cost-effectiveness concerns, while Mongolia genuinely lacked sufficient financial resources to execute such large-scale infrastructure projects.
"Are you intending to breach our previously agreed cooperation?" Yoshida challenged unhappily.
"We don't exclude cooperation with you, but a valuable opportunity has arisen," Minister Bayar responded calmly. He had already spoken to the President, clearly understanding that securing a stake in the Talege Copper-Gold Mine was strategically vital. Such a move would also ease public dissatisfaction, considering the enormous global attention this mine had garnered while Mongolia itself had minimal involvement.
Yoshida clearly understood what this "opportunity" meant but remained reluctant. "You must consider carefully. Huaxia already controls the world's largest coal reserves. If they gain control of Talege Coal Mine, this will severely impact the global coal market negatively!"
Minister Bayar wasn't particularly concerned about global coal markets; his primary interest was Mongolia's own economic development and public welfare. As long as resource exploitation benefited Mongolia directly, international coal industry trends mattered little to him personally.
"I understand your concerns," Bayar concluded diplomatically, offering no further promises or demands.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yoshida departed, leaving Bayar once again disappointed that, despite several months of polite negotiations with Yoshida, no tangible progress had been achieved.
"Japanese businessmen always calculate very carefully," Jirigala remarked fairly, seeing Yoshida leave.
"They still underestimate the potential of our coal resources," Bayar sighed in disappointment. Although global coal prices had recently increased, transportation distances made Mongolian coal prohibitively expensive compared to Australian supplies, limiting its competitive appeal to Japan.
They had previously discussed cooperation with several companies from Huaxia, but those enterprises showed little interest in their coal, even though Mongolia's coal quality was superior, particularly rich in premium-grade coking coal.
However, the situation had now shifted.
This young man, Li Tang, was strikingly unique, entirely different from other Huaxia businessmen.
"It seems we have no choice but to tell our leaders the truth: if we want to acquire shares in the Talege copper-gold mine and develop the coal mine, we must rely on Southern Wilderness Resources Company and particularly on Li Tang himself."
"Maybe Li Tang really can help us boost our economy," Jirigala had recently begun contemplating this possibility.
The Japanese, Canadians, and Americans had all visited Mongolia due to its open market attracting foreign investors. Yet, despite this openness, very few were genuinely interested in substantial investments.
In fact, among all foreign investors, the Chinese were still the most active group. Although many Chinese businessmen came to Mongolia merely for speculation or to run small restaurants, there were also genuinely powerful investors.
"Li Tang is undoubtedly very interested in developing our coal project and is likely serious about making significant investments. After all, he has already put significant effort into the Talege copper-gold mine."
"But Southern Wilderness Resources Company would control our two most critical mineral assets—this dominance carries significant risks!"
"What else can we do?"
"We must come up with a strategy that benefits us!"
…
Li Tang waited a long time, to the point he almost thought Mongolia had forgotten his proposal. Eventually, news came. Minister Bayar and Agula requested a meeting with him.
It was impossible for Mongolia to overlook the Talege copper-gold mine and the coal mine—two strategically vital resources topping their national priority list.
Whenever Minister Bayar saw Li Tang, he was always overwhelmed with emotion.
"Our President has basically agreed to cooperate with you in developing both the coal mine and the copper-gold mine," Minister Bayar stated plainly after brief pleasantries.
Qin Jianshe quickly glanced at Li Tang, a complicated look in his eyes.
He still wasn't entirely clear whether acquiring this coal mine was a blessing or a curse. Accepting the coal mine rights meant relinquishing 34% of their copper-gold mine shares.
Thirty-four percent—this was a number with special implications!
"I believe you've made the wisest decision," Li Tang said with a satisfied smile. "However, let me clarify something. Will the coal project's mining rights include all six mining areas?"
"We plan to grant you the operating rights to three mining areas," Minister Bayar responded, spreading out a map and pointing to three circled zones. "Areas 4, 5, and 6 will be given to you for coal mining operations."
Li Tang carefully examined the map, his brow immediately furrowing, a faint displeasure surfacing on his face.
"You don't seem sincere enough," he remarked coldly.
"Impossible!" Minister Bayar insisted earnestly. "These three mining areas already represent half of our total coal resources!"
"But Area 1, known as the Tashan mining area, correct?" Li Tang tapped another significantly larger area on the map. "This area is the heart of the Talege coal mine, yet you're unwilling to grant us this area."
"In fact, coal quality across all six areas is practically identical," Minister Bayar quickly argued.
"If that's your stance, I won't agree to this cooperation," Li Tang bluntly rejected the proposal. "You can grant us just three mining areas if you wish, but Area 1—the Tashan mining area—must be included."
Minister Bayar exchanged a troubled look with Jirigala. Both felt bitter.
They knew Li Tang had visited the coal mine area but hadn't expected this young Chinese businessman to have such precise knowledge about the coal situation. They certainly had never shared detailed geological information with Li Tang. How could he possibly know Tashan was the core mining area?
Tashan mining area consisted of multiple coal seams with the highest proportion of premium-grade coking coal, making it the most valuable location. They were fully aware of this.
"You might have misunderstood," Jirigala continued trying to persuade him. "All six mining areas have the same coal strata, originating from the same geological formation."
Li Tang shook his head firmly. "I'm a technician myself—I know the geology there very well."
His message was clear: they couldn't deceive him.
An average investor might naively sign agreements without properly researching the true value of the coalfield. Many investors had fallen for such traps before. This wasn't to say the other mining areas lacked value, but comparatively, Tashan mining area was clearly superior.
Li Tang's plan was simple: either take it all or, failing that, secure Tashan at the very least.
Seeing that Li Tang wouldn't fall for tricks, Minister Bayar ceased his maneuvering over mining rights. "We can grant you operating rights to the Tashan mining area, but I need to know—how exactly do you plan to develop the coal there?"
"How we'll develop the coal there?" Li Tang raised an eyebrow. "This requires a systematic approach. We'll first need a professional team to conduct thorough field surveys before formulating a practical development plan."
"Once granted mining rights, will you start development immediately?"
"Absolutely!" Li Tang affirmed decisively. "It's highly probable the Talege copper-gold mine and coal mine will begin construction simultaneously."
"Do you really have enough funds for both?" Minister Bayar had grown accustomed to poverty and instinctively doubted whether others had sufficient capital either.
"We have the money," Li Tang confidently declared. "Investing 15 billion RMB is a trivial matter for us. The real question for us isn't about money, but whether these assets are worth the investment. If they are, our resources are virtually limitless."
"Could there be state backing behind your private company?" Minister Bayar grew cautious.
"We're entirely private." Li Tang immediately clarified. He didn't dare suggest he had government backing, knowing such claims would trigger suspicion and mistrust.
In international dealings, many countries disliked working with state-owned enterprises, considering such dealings as political maneuvers rather than genuine business. Many significant acquisitions had previously failed in Canada, Australia, and Mongolia precisely for these reasons.
Noting Bayar's wary expression, Li Tang emphasized again, "I personally have wealth beyond your imagination!"
Minister Bayar didn't fully know Li Tang's true financial strength, but their investigation suggested he was genuinely an independent businessman. Li Tang had single-handedly ventured into Canada, Australia, and America, discovering the Pebble project, later sold to Rio Tinto. He also acquired Lianying Mining in Australia to develop iron ore. All these facts suggested Li Tang operated independently, without state interference.
Therefore, Bayar leaned toward believing Li Tang's words.
"We can grant you the operating rights to all six coal mining areas."
"A wise decision!" Li Tang inwardly rejoiced but outwardly maintained an indifferent expression.
"However, we have conditions!" Bayar added quickly.
"Please elaborate!" Li Tang turned serious.
By now, both sides clearly had strong intentions for cooperation.
Agula spoke up at this point. "After handing over the coal mine project, we require you to invest at least one billion US dollars within three years to build mining infrastructure and railway connections. Also, these infrastructure projects must be accessible to local residents and small enterprises."
"Our railway construction is certainly meant to benefit everyone—this goes without saying. You didn't even need to mention this condition explicitly," Li Tang easily agreed. Southern Wilderness Province was sparsely populated anyway, and most users of infrastructure would be small businesses. The Mongolian side simply wished to leverage this massive investment to promote broader local economic development.
Agula felt greatly encouraged by Li Tang's cooperative attitude, continuing happily, "From the date of signing our agreement, you'll have the mining operating rights for thirty years. After this period expires, you'll transfer all operating rights to the Mongolian state free of charge!"
"Thirty years?" Li Tang asked calmly. "Will you share in the mine's operating profits during those thirty years?"
"Naturally!" Agula stated as if it were obvious. "This brings us to our third condition: we require a 50% equity stake in Southern Wilderness Resources Company!"
Agula essentially proposed exchanging half of the coal mine rights for half of the copper-gold mine shares, seeing this as an equitable exchange.
But Li Tang was far from satisfied. His expression once again turned cold and stern, immediately causing unease among those around him.
"I already stated clearly: the maximum we can offer is a 34% stake!" Li Tang declared sharply. "But you keep ignoring this! I have nothing more to say on this matter. If you think 34% is insufficient, we have no deal!"
His blunt words instantly froze the conversation's atmosphere.
Agula grimaced slightly but continued arguing. "Consider Erdenet Copper Mine: we hold 51% and Russia 49%, and that partnership has been successful and stable for decades."
"The situation here is different," Li Tang insisted. People naturally wanted more, but he was determined not to compromise further.
"I proposed 34% after careful consideration."
"That's still somewhat low," Agula frowned.
This wasn't just Agula's personal opinion; it reflected the sentiment of the Mongolian President and Parliament. They ideally wanted 51% control, letting Mongolia dominate all decisions, profits, and risks.
That was the outcome they truly desired.
Li Tang clearly understood their ambitious intentions, which was precisely why he was angry.
"Giving you 34% of the shares already grants you over one-third ownership. With this proportion, you will hold seats on the board of directors of Southern Wilderness Resources Company and significantly influence the company's strategic decisions. For major decisions that you believe might negatively impact your national interests or your own interests, you could directly cast veto votes!"
He looked straight at Bayar and Agula, sincerity evident in his voice. "You still don't understand my intentions! I've given you every possible respect, yet you still desire more—you want to take everything from me!"
His words carried considerable weight.
Agula and Bayar felt immediately ashamed, lowering their heads slightly, unable to meet Li Tang's gaze directly.
"Because I respect you, I've offered you a 34% shareholding. With this, you can supervise company operations and even influence major decisions."
Li Tang patted his chest firmly. "I'm cooperating with you, not exploiting you!"
"We believe in your sincerity," Bayar admitted.
"Whether it's the Talege copper-gold mine or the Talege coal mine, both are located within your territory. Our mining operations here will certainly bring prosperity and improved livelihoods to your people. This is precisely what we wish to achieve!"
"From your perspective, 34% shares isn't entirely unacceptable," Agula conceded.
Initially, they'd only wanted to test Li Tang's attitude, not expecting such a vehement response.
"However, there's another condition I absolutely cannot accept!" Li Tang insisted firmly. "You proposed that from the date of signing, all rights and benefits from the coal mine would be freely returned to Mongolia after thirty years. This condition is unacceptable to us."
"Thirty years of operations will yield you tremendous profits," Agula stressed, knowing this condition was critical.
With this term, given the massive reserves of the Talege coal mine, after thirty years Mongolia would inherit a fully functional and well-developed mining operation, potentially profitable for decades more. Such an agreement would spare them initial huge investments and any risk, gifting them a perpetual "cash cow."
This would be an agreement beneficial today and profitable far into the future. Moreover, they'd also gain continued use of critical infrastructure like railroads and power plants.
"No way!" Li Tang shook his head firmly.
He understood clearly these Mongolian officials had insatiable greed. With time, they'd demand even more. Agreeing now would only embolden them; perhaps in a few years, they'd demand ownership even sooner through strikes or protests. Given the erratic behavior of Mongolian authorities, who often changed mining and investment laws every few years, Li Tang had no intention of being dragged into their chaos.
"Whether you accept this condition or not determines whether our cooperation succeeds!" Agula warned.
"It's a condition set personally by our President," Bayar added. "If you agree, approval from the parliament will become significantly easier."
"I don't care how your internal management works, but from our perspective, such conditions severely undermine our interests!"
"After all, the coal mine belongs to Mongolia," Bayar reminded him.
Both sides remained deadlocked.
Clearly, Mongolia had received explicit instructions from their president; thus, complete concession was impossible. Otherwise, they couldn't justify their actions.
Li Tang felt it unreasonable that after investing billions in construction and shouldering massive risks, he would only get a thirty-year operating window. However, given his foresight regarding the rising coal prices, he knew investment recovery wouldn't be problematic once production started. Still, who didn't want to make a bit more profit?
After prolonged silence, he finally compromised: "Let's each take a step back. After fifty years of coal mine operations, we'll separate the project from Southern Wilderness Resources Company and freely hand over all ownership rights to Mongolia."
"Fifty years?" Agula sighed, doubting he'd even be alive to see that day.
"I believe fifty years is a reasonable timeframe." Li Tang figured that after fifty years, the mine would likely no longer have significant extractable resources. Additionally, by then, new energy technologies would be highly advanced and diversified, likely pushing coal—a pollutive resource—off the historical stage altogether.
"It's hard to believe the project will even exist fifty years later," Bayar expressed doubt.
"How many mines really last fifty years?" Agula wasn't satisfied either.
"Fifty years isn't actually that long," Li Tang explained. "Take BHP and Rio Tinto's Australian iron mines; many started operations in the 1950s and '60s—almost fifty years ago—and they're still operating today."
"But those mines are almost depleted and not particularly valuable now."
"I respect your president, so I'm compromising. If you still aren't satisfied, there's little more I can do. I must safeguard our investments too."
Bayar and Agula exchanged looks, each sighing slightly.
"Our agreement alone means nothing—we still need to submit the proposal upward," Agula conceded, knowing they couldn't finalize such a major agreement alone. The negotiation outcomes would ultimately require formal approval. Approval would bring mutual benefit; rejection would mean further negotiations.
Today's conversation clarified broad terms, but detailed cooperation agreements—covering land use planning, investments for sub-projects, funding models, dividend distribution, tax incentives, and other specifics—still required further meticulous discussions.
But at least a clear framework had emerged.
After leaving the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Li Tang awaited feedback from Mongolia's top leaders. The wait wasn't long. Three days later, Minister Bayar relayed the president's position.
The broad cooperation framework aligned closely with their earlier negotiation. Mongolia would acquire a 34% stake in Southern Wilderness Resources Company while transferring Talege coal mine rights to the company. However, forty years from signing, the coal mine would revert entirely to Mongolia's ownership, separated from Southern Wilderness Resources Company.
Li Tang further conceded, changing his fifty-year proposal down to forty years. This effectively finalized their cooperation's general framework.
Detailed agreement specifics—like land planning, investment details, dividend structures, tax breaks, and other financial terms—would still require individual negotiations. Nevertheless, the partnership now had clear direction.
Word quickly reached Yanjing.
At the top floor of Wukuang Group's headquarters, Niu Fu hung up the phone and urgently gathered all senior executives involved with Zhongcheng Mining.
Ouyang Pingguo, Zhao Hepu, and others had extensive experience in mining operations.
"Li Tang has successfully negotiated cooperation with Mongolia," Niu Fu announced meaningfully.
Everyone present had heard Qin Jianshe's previous report about the severe obstacles Zhongcheng Mining faced in Mongolia. Each person knew how challenging the situation had become.
"Has the investigation against us finally ended?" Zhao Hepu felt relieved for Qin Jianshe.
"Not only has Mongolia dropped the bribery investigation completely," Niu Fu declared clearly, "but they've also formally approved our mining feasibility study. Moreover, Mongolia will provide land for both mining operations and railway construction free of charge!"
"Li Tang is truly extraordinary!"
"We've been stalled for months. We even advised Jianshe to prepare for a long battle, possibly lasting years until Mongolia's administration changed. Who could've thought Li Tang would resolve everything in just one visit?"
"Not only is Li Tang technically outstanding in exploration, but his negotiation and coordination abilities are also truly impressive!"
"A young hero indeed!"
They all clearly understood how challenging this negotiation had been. Imagining themselves in Li Tang's position, none believed they could've settled the issue quickly. Their deep understanding of the complexities made them admire Li Tang's abilities even more.
Yet Niu Fu appeared less joyful than expected. "However, we've paid a significant price. Southern Wilderness Resources Company will grant Mongolia a 34% equity stake!"
"34%?"
"So much?"
"Isn't giving up so many shares just to obtain approval too big a loss?"
Everyone initially felt excited but turned apprehensive upon hearing this condition.
The Talege copper-gold mine was among the world's largest discoveries: over 30 million tons of copper and 1,300 tons of gold! Compared to Huaxia's domestic copper reserves—excluding recent major discoveries—these numbers were massive, equating roughly to all the copper reserves in the entire country!
Such an influential asset… had Li Tang conceded too hastily?
Previously, they had insisted on holding firm rather than surrendering easily. Yet Li Tang's single visit yielded a massive concession.
If not for their trust in Li Tang, they might even suspect hidden arrangements between Li Tang and Mongolia.
Seeing the group's silence, Niu Fu added, "Jianshe also mentioned that aside from cooperation with Mongolia, there's another huge surprise awaiting us."
"What surprise?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Currently, it felt more like a shock than a surprise.
Giving away a 34% stake would surely upset other shareholders of Zhongcheng Mining. Such major decisions required board approval. Without persuasive justification, Li Tang's proposal could struggle for support.
Niu Fu, equally puzzled, replied, "Jianshe didn't specify. However, they'll soon return from Mongolia."
