After a thousand years of trading, start a million barrels of oil

Chapter 240
Before Jiang Fan went to explore the rhenium ore resources in person, he went to the trading space and asked the young people, thinking that if he could directly exchange a few thousand tons, it would solve the problem and save himself a trip.

But the young man's reply made him a little disappointed. This metal is used in some special weapons, so it is under control, and civilian mining or conversion is not allowed.

Jiang Fan had no choice, so let's take a trip, because rhenium is mainly an associated mine of molybdenum ore, so Jiang Fan took a private plane and surveyed all the molybdenum ore deposits that have been discovered across the country with a geological survey instrument.

However, only sporadic reserves of rhenium have been found, far below the estimated demand.

This really made Jiang Fan really difficult for a while, and now maybe he can only see if there are rhenium resources discovered abroad.

Not long after, Mr. Xu came to visit again and mentioned this matter again.

"Is there a new rhenium mine in the world?" Jiang Fan knew that there must be none in China, so it can only be whether there are new discoveries in the world.

Mr. Xu shook his head: "No, there is no news about it yet, but our people have recently detected a piece of intelligence that the other party's geological survey personnel have been active around the world recently.

You know, decades ago, the West likes to send survey teams to explore the world, and then buy the management rights at a low price for their own use.

But generally there is a normal frequency, but we have recently discovered that their behavior has suddenly become more abnormal, and most of the target mines to be surveyed are molybdenum mines.

As you know, rhenium ore is mainly the associated mine of molybdenum ore, so we suspect that their survey operation this time is for rhenium ore. "

Mr. Xu's words aroused Jiang Fan's vigilance even more. In the absence of too many rhenium ore reserves in the country, if the other party starts to plan and anticipate, then it is very likely that there will be engine damage caused by the lack of rhenium ore. It's useless to come out.

"Did they find anything?" Jiang Fan asked.

Elder Xu shook his head: "Of course they won't tell us about their survey results, but at least they haven't publicly stated any signs of rhenium ore.

However, according to their usual routine, we will contact the local officials when we find rare mineral deposits, and try to obtain mining rights at a low price through various methods of cheating and abducting.

So we investigated their contacts with the officials of various countries, and found that the most active contact they had was Mozambique in Feizhou.

As you know, Feizhou is one of the areas with the richest mineral deposits in the world, and all the places in the west are flocking to it for the mineral deposits there.

However, the opponent suddenly contacted Mozambique so actively, and in connection with the current background, we have reason to believe that their survey there has discovered something. "

Jiang Fan agreed and thought it made sense.

Mr. Xu drank his saliva, and continued: "So after we received the news, we also arranged to send a survey team over the past two days to survey the mining area that the other party likes.

On the one hand, it is to prevent our Feizhou friends from being cheated by our opponents at low prices, and on the other hand, it is also to see if we can take the lead in receiving possible rhenium ore deposits. "

Jiang Fan had no objection to this arrangement, but he pondered for a moment, looked at Xu Laodao and said, "Let me follow, I want to confirm it myself."

"You want to go too?" Mr. Xu was a little surprised, but also expressed that there was some danger there.

Although it is a very friendly country to us, Jiang Fan is too important. Even if we completely give up the aviation development, Jiang Fan will not be harmed in the slightest.

But Jiang Fan still insisted on going, not because he really wanted to run so far, but because there were rich mineral resources there, he wanted to use a geological survey instrument to conduct some surveys as soon as possible, so that he could find rhenium ore as soon as possible.

The geological survey instrument is a product of the future, so in order to prevent leaks, he had to secretly operate it himself.

So even though there might be some danger, Jiang Fan decided to take the risk.

Mr. Xu thought for a long time before agreeing to Jiang Fan's request.

After all, Mr. Xu knew that Jiang Fan had surveyed tens of millions of tons of lithium ore, and he was outstanding in this regard.

If he can follow, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

As for the security issue, it's not a big problem. It's a friendly country over there, so it's easy to talk about it. It's a big deal to send a division to protect him.

Jiang Fan came to Mo country with the expedition team.

Accompanied by an official who has been stationed here for a long time, he is very familiar with the local situation and knows the purpose of their visit this time. His name is Liu Feng.

Sitting in the car going to the mining area, Jiang Fan still had some questions about this, so he happened to ask Liu Feng for advice.

Jiang Fan looked at Liu Feng and said, "Brother Liu, I was thinking, if we really found the rhenium mine, we might not be sure to win it, right?

After all, although we say that about some things, there are still a lot of white-eyed wolves, and the betrayal we encountered is not once or twice. "

Liu Feng nodded: "You are right, many things are changing, but at least in this country at this stage, we don't have to worry about such a situation for the time being.

We both have very deep emotions. You know the earthquake more than ten years ago, right? "

Jiang Fan nodded. Of course he knew that he himself was the one who witnessed it, and changed the fate of their family.

Liu Feng continued: "That time, the poorest country in Dongfei donated 4 yuan to us."

Jiang Fan thought for a while and said, "4 yuan? It's not much, it's not as good as the annual income of ordinary people."

Liu Feng nodded: "But you have to know, this is an extremely poor country, and they can't even afford the travel expenses for their boss to go to the United Kingdom.

But when we encountered difficulties, we put all the effort of the whole country together to donate the 4 yuan to us. "

Jiang Fan understood that a friend in adversity sees the truth, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, and the weight of 4 yuan is no worse than 4 million yuan.

Liu Feng continued: "Of course, our style has always been to give me a peach and return it to Qiongyao.

We also showed the highest sincerity in return, and successively assisted the other party with more than 80 billion yuan. In 2015, when the other party was hit by floods, we immediately donated 300 million funds and 200 million materials to help the other party tide over the difficulties. "

Jiang Fan nodded and said, "What else?"

Liu Feng smiled, understood what Jiang Fan was thinking, and continued, "Of course, it doesn't stop there. Did you know that Mo Country is also known as the 'Country of Rare Earths.'"

Jiang Fan turned his ears to the side, knowing that he had reached the point.

"In 2012, a world-class rare earth vein was discovered in Nampula Province in the north of its territory. It is estimated that the total amount of ore in the mining area exceeds 1800 million tons. After mining, it can account for more than 30% of the world's rare earth exports. This amount is almost certain. Degrees form a substitute for us.

After the discovery of this mine, all industrial powers came to find out the truth and actively bid high prices to obtain mining rights.

But in the end, they handed over the mining rights of this rare earth mine to us without hesitation, and at a price much lower than others' bids.

This allows us not only to not lose the original rare earth status, but to further strengthen it.

Of course, there are many reasons for this, but the most critical one is the sense of trust that is generated in every interaction with each other.

This is the same as doing business. I would rather earn less and find a reliable long-term partner, which is in my best interest.

So with the foreshadowing of the previous years, there is also a rare earth transaction that has just passed.

We are confident that if rhenium ore is found, we will be the final owners. "

Jiang Fan recognized this logic, and while speaking, the car had already arrived at the mining area.
