"According to what we have received, most of the money that we lend to Bolivar in our country has been divided by their oil companies and has never been included in the national budget, and we will suffer if these loans are repaid with their oil. ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.

"The central government will carefully consider your opinion. ”

Song Xinyang nodded, "But as you said, the way for Bolivar to repay the loan is also limited, basically it can only be the way to export oil to our country, do you have any good suggestions for this?"

"It is more prudent to invest in the exploration and exploitation of natural gas fields in the Bolivarian Sea than to have the Bolivarian side repay the oil. ”

Yang Jie said: "According to our investigation, Bolivar's iron ore reserves that have been explored are very amazing, including a mining area with reserves of more than 20 billion tons, and they are all high-grade iron ore, most of which are open-pit mines, which are very easy to mine, but the freight railway that transports iron ore to the port has fallen into disrepair, and the throughput of this port that originally shipped iron ore can only reach 3 million tons per year, if state-owned enterprises invest in this area, it is a very good project." ”

"This mining area is less than 50 kilometers away from the port, the expansion of the port plus the construction of the freight railway and the construction of the mining area, the scale of investment will not be particularly large, so that our country can get a stable and reliable iron ore supply source, but the sea transportation distance is relatively far, the sea distance is nearly 30,000 kilometers, and the transportation cost is indeed higher. ”

Song Xinyang glanced at Yang Jie: "The metallurgical company under your Zhongyuan Automobile Technology Group Co., Ltd. now has a very large annual steel output, and the demand for iron ore is also very huge, do you have any plans to mine Bolivarian iron ore?"

"Chief Song, we don't have this plan for the time being, because we have been studying how to mine and utilize poor iron ore in China, and now we are doing a good job in this regard, so the demand for high-grade iron ore imports is not particularly large. ”

Yang Jie said: "However, our company's overseas mineral exploration work is also underway, mainly to prepare for future mining and take precautions. ”

"Your company spent a lot of money on these explorations overseas, and now you are taking the initiative to tell your findings, what do you kid think?"

"I'm not afraid that the country's investment in Bolivarian will not be guaranteed, and the investigation that we have done in Bolivarian will reduce the country's losses, and it will be worth it. ”

"In addition, the gold reserves and mining volume in the south of Bolivar are also very large, and the domestic side can also let the Bolivarian side use gold to repay the loan," Yang said. ”

Song Xinyang glanced at Yang Jie, "I heard that your gold smelter imports a lot of gold from the Bolivar side every year?"

"There's such a thing. ”

Yang Jie nodded: "Our companies in Aruba and Curaçao in Bolivar will purchase gold and send it back to China for processing. ”

He saw Song Xinyang's sharp eyes looking at him, paused and said, "Uncle Song, everything is legal and compliant for us to purchase this gold back to China. ”

"I know this," Song Xinyang nodded, "What is the origin of all this gold you purchased?"

Yang Jie cleared his throat and said: "Actually, the two islands in Bolivar are lax in supervision, and these gold bars are sent to these islands by private or commercial small planes for transit, and the real origin of these gold is actually gold mined locally. ”

"Gold poaching in Bolivarian is actually very rampant, some of the gold mined privately is sent to these islands for transit, and the origin cannot be found through document falsification, and the other is that these gold poaching organizations in Bolivarian smuggled gold under the noses of the National Guard to Lengoyabi The gold will be sold to Eagle Sauce and the largest smelter in Europe, and the processed gold is sold to many companies to make products. ”

The actual price of the gold purchased by Huaxing Technology Group is naturally lower than the price of gold in the market, and many customers in the Middle East and Europe also purchase in Bolivar.

Many companies are well aware of such things, and the metallurgical company under Zhongyuan Automobile Technology Group Co., Ltd. is legal and compliant in terms of procurement and import procedures, and it is impossible to find out what is wrong.

The amount of gold stolen in Bolivar is actually very large every year, and the amount can reach billions of dollars, Yang Jie will naturally not allow his company to participate in this, but these stolen gold will become legal gold on the market after transit, and large-scale procurement is naturally reasonable and legal.

In fact, Yang Jie's cheap father-in-law family has people who are engaged in the business of gold dealers, who will buy gold in the bustling border center of Lungobia Cucuta, transport the gold to the city, make some false documents, label it as Lengobia gold, and then transport it to the port city of Eagle Sauce, and then transport it to some large smelters for processing.

There is such a relationship, Yang Jie also gets a lot of gold back to China for processing every year, and the purchase volume is also very large, more than 20 tons per year, and he is also one of the largest customers of Bolivarian gold exports.

The purchased gold is also used by many subsidiaries of Huaxing Technology Group for semiconductors and automobiles, electrical equipment, aerospace and nuclear power.

Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. uses a large amount of precious metal materials such as gold and silver, and Yang Jie naturally asks the following companies to work hard to find stable supply channels.

"I also heard that the business in Bolivar is very difficult, but your Huaxing Technology Group can still find a way to make money, and you haven't forgotten the country, and it's still doing very well. ”

Song Xinyang had a smile on his face at this time.

Although Bolivarian gold is illegally mined, it is not illegal to sell it in the international market, and the purchase of gold by Huaxing Technology Group Company is legal and reasonable, and Yang Jie did not hide it, and Song Xinyang will not beat Yang Jie with this matter.

"By the way, the Bolivar side has sent some coltan samples to several domestic ore testing centers for testing, and you have also obtained samples, your Huaxing Technology Group Company is interested in Bolivar's coltan?"

"The grade of these raw ores is still very high, but we are not yet sure of the size of the coltan in Bolivar and what the local environment is, and we will send a team to investigate and evaluate it later. ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.

Coltan is a general term for coltan and tantalite complex minerals, the main components are niobium, tantalum and metallic iron, this ore is naturally much higher than the grade of niobium metal contained in rare earth ores.

Longyuan Rare Earth Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd., has begun mass production of ferroniobium alloy production line in Baotu City.

Tantalum, on the other hand, is mainly used in the production of capacitors, which is a very important electronic component in electronic devices, from mobile phones to laptops. Over the past decade, the demand and price of tantalum have soared due to a surge in demand and production of electronic technology products.

At present, the world's proven coltan is mainly located on the African continent, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is also the most important exporter of coltan, and other countries have also found it, and the output is very small.

The coltan was previously controlled by Western countries, and the pricing power was in the hands of these mining companies, and because of the mineral, the region was in turmoil.

Now China has become the world's largest electronics manufacturing country, and the demand for this coltan is naturally very large.

President Chavez is naturally very concerned about this kind of coltan, which can be sold for tens of dollars a kilogram, and can't wait to take his domestic coltan samples and send them to China for testing.
