Chapter 0665 - Half of the surname Li [1 more]
Li Cheng and Tim Gabrie had a harmonious exchange, one wanted to get rich, and the other was willing to spend a lot of money on people......
It's hard to think about this process if it doesn't go well.
After sending Tim away, before he could host any dinner, several heads of the Cliff Consortium or the new generation of heirs also came to visit.
These people are also here to do big business.
Strictly speaking, they did not look at the gold, silver and other monetary metals in the Glasberg mine, but wanted to buy copper in large quantities.
"Li, I really didn't expect your family to find such a large open-pit mixed mineral deposit in Yin Ni, if I had known that there was such a large mineral snow area and an island country would not have had the opportunity to enter Yin Ni, it would be a vein worth everyone to be crazy about. ”
Wilson Johnson, who is currently the head of the Johnson family in the Cliff consortium, this white-haired old man in his sixties, first complimented Li Cheng before saying with a smile, "I wonder if we can buy a large amount of copper from you at the normal price?"
Li Cheng was a little curious, "You lack copper?"
In the Republic of China, copper was still used as one of the currencies for copper coins to directly buy various materials.
...... abroad
Wilson took a puff of his cigarette before he said with a little passion, "Niu Niu Empire, they don't set the sun all day, for this European war, more than 50% of all copper production has been used to make shells and bullet shells." ”
"In modern ships, whether they are warships or merchant ships, because many copper alloys have good resistance to seawater corrosion, almost every ship has two or three percent of its own weight in copper, or copper alloy. ”
"If you want to vigorously develop the power industry, because of the conductivity of copper, cables, switches, voltages, etc. all need high-purity copper parts with high conductivity. ”
"The advent of the Glasberg mine is a huge problem for Niuniu, with which they can make more shells and bullets, warships, merchant ships, and even develop the power industry. ”
"It's still in the European war, and the gold in that deposit is not even as practical as the copper reserves in hundreds of thousands of tons, which are more valuable. ”
Outside the current Republic of China, not many countries use copper as a metal, but its practicality is too extensive and even indispensable.
Of course, Li Cheng also knows this, "You are very right, but you should also know that if my career in Shanghai and even Ludong is to develop, it also needs massive mineral resources." ”
In the past two or three months, not only Shanghai has entered the big wave of development and construction, but Ludong is also in full swing, and the two places of Qingzhou and Gunzhou have changed their appearance almost every three days.
Chen Zhen and Huo Tingen are located in Quancheng and Qingdao, accompanied by a large number of talents from all over the world to build basic industries.
Mines and steel mills are developing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and that process does require a lot of copper.
The advent of the Glasberg mine also found a source of copper ore for Li Cheng, otherwise he would have to consider collecting all kinds of copper coins for construction.
The arsenal that has been built in Shanghai also uses a lot of copper to make bullets and shells.
After Niu Niu, Gaul and Li Cheng went down to develop mineral deposits, the island countries did not dare to continue to swallow the coachman's other territories, because they were afraid that Niu Niu would not like them...... Our side is extracting and hoarding strategic materials, and we are very busy working overtime.
You're still fighting around, are you still trying to grab us?
As long as Niu Niu and Gaul suspect them, maybe they can link up, not only drive the island country out of India, but also make a wave of multinational powers land in Jingdong Bay, so that it can be achieved by driving the fleet to the destination?
Li Cheng's mixed fleet, Bald Eagle Pacific Fleet, plus Niu Niu Gaul, etc., what can the island countries do to stop it?
Wilson Johnson laughed, "Lee, of course we won't take it for nothing, so let's use rubber resources to exchange your copper, and the specific price will be converted according to the normal price of the two." ”
Rubber......
This is also a very important resource, and later the Bald Eagle developed into a country on wheels, didn't it need a huge amount of rubber to make tires?
Bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, etc., which one doesn't need rubber?
In the rubber industry, the Cliff consortium is one of the largest and most trendsetting consortia of Bald Eagles.
"In addition to rubber resources, we can also openly support your growing number of overseas Chinese immigrants entering Bald Eagle. ”
Hearing this, Li Chengcai smiled and said, "What else do you need besides this business?"
Wilson and a few partners glanced at each other before smiling, "Your family is so skilled in finding mineral deposits, so I don't know what to think of such materials as oil?"
Li Cheng understood in seconds, "You want to play with diesel locomotives??"
Wilson nodded, "With the invention of the internal combustion engine, the oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma and other places have attracted countless people just like the gold rush in San Francisco, and we don't have much power over there." ”
"That's old Locke's territory, but we're not reconciled, and we just watch others get rich. ”
The internal combustion engine had only been invented for six years, but before that, oil was already an important industry.
"We have already discovered oil fields in the past, I don't know if your family can find new oil fields? If you can, as long as we can cooperate with you to develop it, then we will be stronger to support more and more overseas Chinese immigrants to enter California. ”
Li Cheng smiled and nodded, "I will seriously consider this matter." ”
With the end of World War I, the automobile and truck industries brought by the internal combustion engine became more and more powerful, and the importance of oil was also rapidly rising.
In addition to gold and silver mines, this is also a super explosion.
That's great.
He knew in his heart that there were all kinds of inexhaustible oil fields on this earth.
As long as the Republic of California can be realized, the surname is Li, and it is definitely worth sending out some oil fields for nothing.
Get Tim Gabry, and then get the Cliff consortium, I believe ......
........................
A few days flew by.
When Tim Gabri visited Li Cheng again with some companions, he got more than 20% of the land in San Francisco, land, industrial properties, including equity in companies in various industries.
When Li Cheng paid quickly.
Tim couldn't help laughing, "Lee, half of San Francisco is yours now, and all walks of life are yours." ”
This wave of transactions, coupled with Lu Yunsheng's previous accumulation, has eaten half of the three feudatories.
Now the problem is that the efficiency of the migrant ships departing from the Republic of China is a little too slow.
