I still remember when this guy (Richard Adkerson, Chairman of the Board at Freeport-McMoRan) said that no matter how many shares Indonesia asked for, they would give them as long as PT. Freeport Indonesia's technology remained under their control. The negotiations were just window dressing. I'm sure their stance is still the same today. Whether it's 10%, 12%, or even 51%, it doesn't matter. They know the key is still in their hands. Shares are just numbers. They can be taken anywhere without issue. But technology is the key. Take it away, and the world's largest gold mine will die. Besides, we also know the nature of this nation. Numbers will become a source of contention for the greedy. Not for the prosperity of the people

Saya masih ingat ketika pace satu ini (Richard Adkerson, Chairman of the Board at Freeport-McMoRan) bilang berapapun saham yg diminta Indonesia mereka akan berikan selama teknologi yang digunakan PT. Freeport Indonesia tetap dikuasai mereka. Negosiasi hanyalah bunga2 sj. Pasti masih sama sikap mereka sekarang. Mau 10%, 12% bahkan 51% pun tdk ada masalah. Mereka tahu, kuncinya ada di mereka. Saham hanyalah angka. Dibawa kemanapun tdk masalah. Tapi teknologi adalah kunci. Dibawa pergi, matilah tambang emas terbesar di dunia itu. Lagipula, kita tau juga tabiat bangsa ini. Angka akan jadi bancakan bagi mereka2 yang tamak. Bukan untuk kemakmuran rakyatnya!
