“Our willingness to sell reflects the value of the offer,” Ivan Glasenberg, Glencore Xstrata chief executive, said on Sunday, as the trader-cum-miner finally let go of one of the world’s largest copper mines in development – Las Bambas in Peru. Willingness: not requirement. Glencore may have an offer of more than $6bn in cash, from a Chinese consortium. But the choice of phrase shows Glencore always had the ability to keep Las Bambas.
周日,贸易兼矿产商嘉能可斯特拉塔(Glencore Xstrata)最终放弃世界最大开发中铜矿之一——秘鲁拉斯邦巴斯(Las Bambas)铜矿,该公司首席执行官伊凡•格拉森伯格(Ivan Glasenberg)说:“我们愿意出售,是因为买家出价高。”愿意,而不是必须。嘉能可或许收到了来自一个manbetx3.0 财团逾60亿美元的现金出价。但格拉森伯格的措辞反映出,嘉能可始终有能力保留拉斯邦巴斯铜矿。
