Several people got down from the helicopter, all foreigners, and the leader was Green, a senior official on the Australian side, who came in person, with a very clear purpose, that is, to find Wang Xudong.

The situation of this rare earth mine, the Australian side is very concerned, after all, it is a rare earth, not a popular mineral such as iron ore.

At the beginning, the Australian side did not care, and signed a series of documents and agreements with Xudong Mining Group without any worries, including allowing Xudong Mining Group to explore and mine rare earth resources in this territory.

Not only these, but it is clear in the documents and agreements that the Australian side shall not interfere with and hinder the rare earth mining carried out by Xudong Mining Group here, nor shall it interfere with and influence the trading, transportation and so on of these rare earths by Xudong Mining Group.

In other words, the Australian side must not interfere with the scale of Xudong Mining Group's mining here, who the mined rare earths are sold to, whether they are shipped back to China, etc.

When signing these things, the Australian side really didn't pay attention to it, and many Australian officials even thought that Wang Xudong's territory should have no rare earth resources.

When they learned that Xudong Mining Group had hired an exploration team to explore the rare earth resources in this area and found a huge amount of rare earths, many people regretted it.

Since then, the Australian side has begun to pay close attention to this rare earth mine, such as the scale and progress of the construction of the mining area, and the approximate time when the rare earth ore will be mined.

Since a few days ago, a large number of rare earth ores have been officially mined here, and the mining volume exceeded 50,000 tons on that day.

After discussion, Wang Xudong's old acquaintance Green was dispatched, led by Green himself, and a group of several people arrived at Wang Xudong's territory and landed.

Stepping out of the helicopter, Green thought to himself, this town is getting bigger and bigger, and it can't be called a small town in the future, but a small city.

Australia is originally vast and sparsely populated, and there are some inland towns with only a few dozen people, but here, there are nearly 10,000 people, and it is certain that it will reach tens of thousands in the future, and it can indeed be called a "city" rather than a "town".

"Hello, Mr. Green!"

Li Wangdong, on behalf of Wang Xudong, was already there to greet him, and when he saw Green stepping off the plane, he greeted him in proficient English.

Green said, "Oh, Mr. Li, what a big change here. ”

Li Wangdong invited Green and others to get on the bus, and introduced: "Our town, from more than 1,000 people at the beginning, has developed to 8 or 9,000 people now, and there are also many admirers who come uninvited, just to visit our big iron mine, counting these people, the population of our town is nearly 10,000......

Sitting in the car, looking at the street outside the car, and listening to Li Wangdong's introduction, Green thought in his heart, Xudong Mining Group's contribution to the Australian economy is still very large, such as such a populous town, there are two largest iron mines in the world, the world's largest gold mine, and now the world's largest rare earth mine.

Thinking about rare earths, Green's heart is hot, this time, he came with a mission, he wanted to have a good talk with Wang Xudong, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, and he didn't know if he could meet his own expectations.

It is not counting Green's own expectations, to be precise, it should be the expectations of the Australian government, he only represents the Australian government.

It's a nice café, famous in the town, and although it's not big in size, it's quiet, the interior is clean, and if it's in the evenings and on weekends, business will be booming.

It's working time, and the employees of Xudong Mining Group, who have settled in the town, have gone to work in the mining area, and there are only a few travelers on the first floor of the café, who have come here to visit the No. 2 iron ore mine.

On the second floor, Wang Xudong was taken down, only Wang Xudong and Zheng Xiaotong were there, and Lin Hu stood at the entrance of the second floor to prevent all others from waiting up.

Li Wangdong took Green and his entourage to the second floor of this café, and Lin Hu said, "Boss, Mr. Li, they came up." ”

Wang Xudong nodded, sat upright for a moment, and then looked at the staircase on the second floor. He and Green have a good personal relationship, but private relations are private relations, and what the two sides are talking about today is not a private matter, but a public matter, Green represents the Australian side, and Wang Xudong represents Xudong Mining Group.

Green came up, stretched out his right hand enthusiastically from afar, and said loudly: "Wang, congratulations on your successful mining of rare earth ores." ”

Wang Xudong got up, shook hands with Green who came over, and said jokingly: "Green, your news is really well-informed, and you will know it so quickly." ”

The Australian side is paying close attention to its rare earth mine, Wang Xudong knows this, in fact, he knows in his heart that the Australian side will send someone to talk to him sooner or later, but he didn't think it would be so soon.

This is also too fast, a few days ago, he officially mined rare earths, and Green came to the door on behalf of the Australian government today.

Green said a little proudly: "Wang, your rare earth mine is in our territory, and we know this rare earth mine very well. ”

If he didn't have those documents and agreements in hand, Wang Xudong might still be a little worried, but now, he has no worries at all, only happiness in his heart.

Besides, the Australian side should not be stupid, they have also got a lot of benefits, such as tens of millions of tons of high-quality crude oil can be ordered from Xudong Mining Group every year, and a special steel smelter invested and built by Sanlian Special Steel Group in Australia.

There was no worry in his heart, Wang Xudong's mood was very relaxed, and he chatted with Green easily, and invited Green and others to sit down, and the owner of the café sent all kinds of desserts, coffee, etc.

Green said: "Wang, this rare earth mine of yours has the largest reserves in the world, and I heard that there will be a lot of mining in the future, isn't it?" ”

According to the information obtained by Green, the mining volume of rare earth ores in this rare earth mine may be more than 100 million tons, which is equivalent to about 1 million tons of finished rare earths, and later I heard that the mining volume of rare earth ores may not be more than 100 million tons, but 2 or 300 million tons.

2 to 300 million tons of rare earth ores are mined every year, which is amazing!

Wang Xudong didn't hide it, he couldn't hide this kind of thing, so it was better to tell the truth, so Wang Xudong said: "Yes, the future mining volume will be very huge, according to our plan, after the mine is fully completed, the annual mining capacity of rare earth ore will be about 300 million tons." ”

What the!

300 million tons of rare earth ores are mined every year!

Green was slightly shocked in his heart, and his entourage was even more shocked, such a huge amount of mining was completely beyond their predictions.

After a long time, they recovered from the shock, and the admiration in their hearts was worthy of Xudong Mining Group, which was really generous.

Green said: "Wang, the annual mining volume of 300 million tons of rare earth ore is too shocking to me, and I must visit your rare earth mine later." ”

Wang Xudong agreed: "There is no problem in visiting our rare earth mining area, but you are not just here to see our rare earth mine." ”

"Of course." Green said: "We have more important things to talk to you about. ”

Wang Xudong made a deferential look, "Say, what's the matter." ”

Green is a cheerful person, and he doesn't beat around the bush, and says directly: "Wang, that's right, rare earth is an important strategic resource, and we in Australia also need a lot of this kind of good thing, and we want to order a large amount of rare earth ore from you." ”

If this rare earth mine is fully completed, the annual mining of rare earth ore will reach more than 300 million tons, and some of it needs itself, and some of it can be sold to the outside world.

Since it is for sale, it can definitely be sold to the Australian side, but I don't know how big the Australian appetite is and how much rare earth mineral sands they want to order.

Wang Xudong said: "There is no problem in ordering rare earth ore, according to the international selling price, in addition to the old rule, no less than 5% of the advance payment, you come to the mining area to transport the rare earth ore you need." ”

Green nodded immediately, "These are all fine, it's just that our order is a little large, I don't know ......"

Obviously, Green didn't dare to say it directly, but needed to prepare Wang Xudong in his heart, deliberately delayed it like this, and then said: "We need to order hundreds of millions of tons of rare earth ore every year." ”

Hundreds of millions of tons per year!

Even if it is only a rare earth ore with a grade of one percent, it is not a finished rare earth, but hundreds of millions of tons, there is still a little bit that scares Wang Xudong.

Wang Xudong thought he had misheard, looked Green up and down, and then asked, "Are you sure that hundreds of millions of tons are ordered every year?" ”

Green was afraid of being rejected by Wang Xudong, and said a little worriedly: "Yes, it's hundreds of millions of tons, you heard it right." ”

Wang Xudong didn't understand a little, what did Australia order to do with this rare earth ore?

Given the scale of the Australian economy, especially their industrial scale, they definitely don't need so many rare earths.

Just kidding, hundreds of millions of tons of rare earth ore every year are converted into millions of tons of finished rare earths, and even in a large industrial country like China, the annual consumption of rare earths is not so large.

Australia's industrial scale is less than one-tenth of that of China, and it is impossible for them to consume so many rare earths, so what are they going to do to order so many rare earths.

At the same time, Wang Xudong also said in his heart that Australia is worthy of being a developed capitalist country, and it is really rich, hundreds of millions of tons of rare earth ores, which is a lot of green US dollars.

Seeing that Wang Xudong didn't agree for a long time, Green became more worried in his heart, and said in his heart, hundreds of millions of tons per year, it is really too much, according to the actual needs of Australia, it is enough to order millions of tons of rare earth ores every year, and it may not need millions of tons per year.

But Green came by order to order so much rare earth ore, and he said a little apprehensively: "Wang, is it okay?" ”

……..

The third is sent!

That's all for today's update, thank you!
