In fact, the mining of coltan is not an easy task, and it requires mining and sorting equipment to increase the grade of the ore to a certain level before it can be sent to the refinery, and these equipment Bolivar cannot design and manufacture by himself, and there is not a single refinery in the whole of Latin America.

There are very few countries in the world that can provide complete coltan exploration, mining and refining, as well as deep processing of products, and a large number of electronic products and equipment of Huaxing Technology Group use tantalum capacitors, and the demand for tantalum metal materials is very large.

Zhongyuan Metallurgical Technology Co., Ltd. has its own coltan refinery, and the prepared tantalum metal materials are used in various fields by Huaxing Technology Group Company, but the output is not too large, and most of them still need to be purchased from refineries of other companies in China.

Huaxinke Group purchased large quantities of cobalt and coltan mainly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was even sued by international human rights organizations for purchasing and using cobalt mined by Congolese child laborers, which resulted in child labor being disabled and killed during mining operations.

In fact, this is not the first similar prosecution, even the previous Nokia has been exposed to forced child labor in mining.

In fact, this matter has little to do with Huaxing Technology Group Company, but it is also quite speechless to be targeted by these Notre Dame people under the banner of human rights and morality, and these Western media also use the topic to play and slander Huaxing Technology Group Company.

The local government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is also eyeing the fat of Huaxing Technology Group Company, and it is also imposing higher concession fees on coltan and copper-cobalt mines, resulting in an increase in raw material prices.

Yang Jie also moved the idea of looking for raw material supply channels in other countries, and Bolivar also rushed to ask for cooperation after discovering coltan in China, which was in line with his ideas.

"It would also be a good thing for our country if domestic companies could invest in Bolivar and mine coltan on a large scale, after all, most of these miners in Africa are Western companies, and the pricing power is in their hands, and if we can get a stable supply of coltan, we can also be less wool by others." ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.

In fact, Bolivarian also has private mining and smuggling it for export to neighboring countries for sale, but the amount is very small, and it is still more profitable to smuggle gold than to steal coltan.

Song Xinyang nodded, and also asked about the business of Huaxing Technology Group Company in Bolivar, which talked about telecommunications business and automobile business.

Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. mainly does business with the richest government and enterprises in Bolivar, and does relatively little business in the consumer market.

Zhongyuan Automobile Technology Group Co., Ltd. focuses on the Bolivarian official car market, including taxis, school buses, coaches, and heavy trucks, and the private market is mainly aimed at the new middle class who are looking for modern gadgets.

As a member of the Petro-Exporting Countries, Bolívar has also given birth to a new middle class, and although cars are not sold much, car sales are still very profitable.

General Motors has been in the Bolivar country since the 40s, and the oldest local automakers, Fuord Motor Group and Mitsubishi, have also come before Zhongyuan Automobile Technology Group.

However, Zhongyuan Automobile Technology Group Co., Ltd. relies on Yang Jie's personal relationship with President Chavez to do very well in Bolivar, although the business volume is not very large, but the profit margin is still okay.

Six or seven years ago, when the international oil price was very high, Bolivar's domestic car sales hit a record of nearly 500,000 units a year, but in recent years, Bolivar's car sales have continued to decline, and last year it has fallen to less than 100,000 car sales.

This year, Bolivar's car sales are even more bleak, many car manufacturers are thinking of retreating, and Zhongyuan Automobile Technology Group is also steadily expanding the market here.

Even if the country really reaches the point where the country is bankrupt, people here still can't do without transportation, even if car sales are declining, but motorcycle sales are selling well.

Hongdu Group Company, with the help of Huaxing Technology Group Company, exported a large number of various styles of motorcycles to the Bolivar side.

In fact, if you do a good job of market research, you can still make money even if Bolivar's domestic economic situation is not good.

Song Xinyang was busy with official business, and he talked with Yang Jie for more than an hour before dealing with other things.

Yang Jie then went by car to Huaneng Nuclear Power Technology Group Co., Ltd. to inspect the Huaneng Nuclear Industry Research Center in Didu.

The experts and senior engineers in this research institute are all drawn from the major nuclear industry design institutes across the country, and are mainly responsible for the design and construction of thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants.

At present, the research center has more than 60 technical specialties and more than 1,500 engineering and technical personnel, including 137 professor-level senior engineers and 530 senior engineers.

Some of these technical experts are mainly engaged in the research and design of nuclear power projects, and have participated in the design of many nuclear power plants in China, and some technical personnel have participated in construction management, and they all have rich construction experience.

The reason why Huaneng Nuclear Power Technology Group Co., Ltd. was able to complete the design and construction of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant so quickly is naturally related to the fact that there are a large number of experienced technicians in this research center.

Yang Jie also specially inspected the research and development of several core technologies of nuclear power plants in the human-machine interface of nuclear power plants and the management and control system of nuclear power plants.

Because there are more and more supporting projects for thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants, the design and development of the integrated management and control system of nuclear power plants is also very difficult, and Yang Jie also attaches great importance to this, and core technologies like this can only be developed by himself.

His Majesty the Caliph invited Huaneng Nuclear Power Technology Group Corporation to go to the emirate to build a thorium-based molten salt nuclear power plant, and it is a super-large nuclear power plant, so the research center needs to redesign and build a nuclear power plant based on the redesigned large nuclear reactor.

The first generator set of Xiaotangshan Nuclear Power Plant was designed according to the previous 200 MW core, and now Huaneng Nuclear Power Technology Group has redesigned the reactor with a power generation capacity of 1200 MW, and now the core is enlarged, so the design scheme of the nuclear power plant will naturally change.
