Chapter 1077: So That's the Thing
After saying that, he got up and went downstairs, obviously to make a call to report, there are some things that Green alone can't do.
Wang Xudong smiled slightly, sat there and drank tea relaxedly, while waiting for Green to come over after the call.
The call was relatively long.
Wang Xudong waited for more than half an hour before watching Green come back. Fortunately, Wang Xudong is patient, and if he is someone else, he may be a little impatient.
The order of 100 million tons of rare earth ore, as well as the free railway line, wait, what is it.
Green finally finished the call, sat down again, took the initiative to fill Wang Xudong's teacup with water, and then said, "Wang, let's have a good discussion on the price and the construction of the railway." ”
Wang Xudong nodded.
"Wang, what we mean is to implement a fixed price, which can be one percent higher than the current market price, yes, one percent higher. ”
Gao Yicheng is not small, but Wang Xudong is optimistic about the future rare earth market, and the future increase will definitely be more than one percent, maybe two or three percent, or even more.
Wang Xudong shook his head and said, "No, it must be a floating price, and the price is set once a month according to the market price." ”
Between the two, there was a long discussion about the price. In fact, it was a bargaining process, after Green made this call, he already had the bottom in his heart, and he was ready to accept the floating price proposed by Wang Xudong, just to fight one last time.
After talking for a long time, the two finally reached a preliminary agreement, the rare earth market and market price, the implementation of floating prices, the two sides once a month, the specific pricing principles and rules, the two also basically agreed.
Next, the two began to talk about the construction of the railway. Green's meaning is that the Australian side will build a railway from the rare earth mine to the No. 2 iron ore mine, and this newly built railway will directly connect the main railway line of the No. 2 iron ore mine.
Wang Xudong's intention is to build a new railway trunk line from the Australian side, starting from the rare earth mining area and arriving at the port of Dampier more than 200 kilometers away, which is completely different from the iron ore trunk line of the current No. 2 large iron ore mine.
In this way, it is basically equivalent to having two railway trunk lines, one of which is now existing, starting from the No. 2 large iron ore mine and leading to the port of Dampier, which is an iron ore special line, which can transport at least hundreds of millions of tons of iron ore every year.
The second is to be built by the Australian government, starting from the rare earth mining area and arriving at the port of Dampier, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers, and a special line for the transportation of rare earth ores.
If it is only from the rare earth mining area to the No. 2 iron mine, the total length is only more than 30 kilometers, and there is no need for the Australian side to come forward, this railway can only be regarded as a section of the railway within its own territory, and it can be built by itself.
Since the request is put forward, it is to be built by the Australian government, from the rare earth mining area to the port of Dampier, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers, and the construction of a special line for the transportation of rare earth ores.
Green shook his head and said, "No, such a project is too large and the investment is too high, we will not agree." ”
Wang Xudong smiled and said: "Since you don't agree, then I want to remind you that you can order 100 million tons of rare earth ore from us every year, but these rare earth ores need to be transported by yourself, and we will not deliver them." ”
This is the old rule, you can buy your own rare earth ore, so much ore you can transport by yourself, there is no railway transportation line, I see how you can transport it.
If the current iron ore line from the No. 2 large iron ore mine to Dampier Port is used to transport some rare earth ores, tens of millions of tons can be transported a year.
Besides, the management and use rights of this iron ore line are in the hands of Xudong Mining Group, and Wang Xudong will not necessarily use this iron ore line to help Australia transport rare earth ores.
After the completion of the rare earth mining area, the annual mining volume of rare earth ore is more than 300 million tons, in addition to about 100 million tons of rare earth ore in the mining area of the rare earth refining and processing plant is processed into semi-finished rare earth, the rest should have nearly 200 million tons of rare earth ore, about 100 million tons sold to Australia, the rest sold to some other countries and companies.
If the Australian side does not build a new railway line for the transportation of rare earth ores, they will not be able to transport so much rare earth ore.
Green finally understood something, pondered, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Wang, there is no problem, we will fund the construction of this railway line." ”
Wang Xudong reminded: "After the construction of this railway line is completed, the ownership can belong to you, but we have the right to use it for free. ”
Green agreed, "Yes, anyway, after the completion of this rare earth ore railway transportation line, it will definitely not only have the capacity to transport 100 million tons of rare earth ore per year, but can be provided to Xudong Mining Group for free." ”
The price was negotiated, the construction of the railway line was negotiated, and the two discussed the next series of details.
Green stood up happily, "King, happy cooperation. ”
Wang Xudong is also in a good mood, after all, the annual order of 100 million tons of rare earth ore is not a small business, representing at least more than 30 billion US dollars in revenue.
Rare earth ore has a price advantage over iron ore, even if the grade of one percent of rare earth ore, not finished or semi-finished rare earth, the price per ton is at least more than 300 US dollars, with the rise of the market, it will be more expensive in the future.
After the matter was discussed, Wang Xudong also began to ask, wanting to confirm the guess in his heart.
"Green, you spend a lot of money to buy so many rare earth ores every year, you must not use them yourself, right?"
At this time, anyway, the matter has been basically negotiated, and Green did not hide it, admitting: "Yes, we can't use up so many rare earth ores, and tens of thousands of tons are enough every year." ”
"Then you ......"
"Because rare earths are strategic resources, non-renewable, and the reserves will only get smaller and smaller, we decided to spend part of the money to buy 100 million tons of rare earth ore every year and store it, and when the world's rare earth resources begin to deplete after a few years, we have enough rare earths," Green said. ”
You're good enough, you're rich!
Wang Xudong nodded secretly in his heart, which basically confirmed Wang Xudong's guess. Such a practice is not uncommon in the world.
For example, the resource-poor island nation of Fuso often buys coal from China and dumps large quantities of coal into their offshore waters.
After a few years, when the world's coal resources are exhausted, or in the event of a war, when it is difficult to buy coal, they will mine the coal dumped in the sea and reuse it.
Fuso bought not only coal, but also a large amount of oil, which they also stored or hoarded, so that in the event of a war, they would not be short of oil.
Australia is doing the same, planning to spend tens of billions of dollars a year to buy hundreds of millions of tons of rare earth ores and store them for future use.
So that's what happened!
Wang Xudong finally understood it thoroughly, and also reminded: "It's okay for these rare earth ores to be hoarded by you, but I suggest that you don't easily sell them to some countries that are hostile to China." ”
Green didn't agree, and it was estimated that he couldn't make the decision on this matter, but said, "Wang, I will report your opinion." ”
Wang Xudong did not insist, if the Australian side really wanted to sell these rare earth ores to the hostile countries in China, he Wang Xudong could not stop it.
No, in fact, it can still be stopped, but Wang Xudong doesn't want to get to that point, if he really provokes Wang Xudong, he can use the "god-level big miner" rare earth to transfer these rare earth ores, so that the rare earth ores they have worked so hard to hoard "disappear out of thin air".
How did it really get to that point, that is, it shows that the relationship between Wang Xudong and the Australian side is already very bad, and Wang Xudong does not want the relationship between the two sides to reach that level.
Between the two, everything was negotiated.
Green brought his entourage over and began to draw up a formal contract according to the agreement between the two parties, and Wang Xudong also called Cheng Xianbiao, the chief legal counsel of Xudong Mining Group, over.
The next day.
When the contract was drafted, Cheng Xianbiao also arrived in the town with his team of lawyers, and they carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract.
"Boss, no problem with the contract. ”
Green couldn't wait to say, "King, let's start signing!"
This time he came with a mission, on behalf of the Australian side to order rare earth ore from Xudong Mining Group, and the annual order volume reached an astonishing 100 million tons, he was worried that it would be difficult to complete this task, but now everything is negotiated, and he can sit down and sign the contract.
It's big business, big orders.
Wang Xudong was also in high spirits, sat down, picked up the pen and signed his name, and Green signed on behalf of the Australian side.
The signing is completed and the contract is officially validated.
Green happily shook hands with Wang Xudong, "Wang, happy cooperation." ”
Wang Xudong said: "Wait a minute, let's try authentic Western food, there is a restaurant where the steak is very good." ”
Green declined Wang Xudong's kindness, "Wang, I want to go back immediately, next time I will invite you to eat the most authentic steak in Australia." ”
The mission is completed, and what Green wants most is to go back to his life immediately, where is there any mind to stay and eat.
…….
This morning, Wang Xudong took Zheng Xiaotong to have breakfast in the town as usual, in fact, he could also order breakfast to be sent to his villa, but Wang Xudong preferred to go to the town to eat, not only has a lot of choice, he can eat whatever he wants, and he can feel the liveliness and prosperity of the town in the morning.
Wang Xudong, Zheng Xiaotong, and Lin Hu found a good restaurant to eat, which is a Chinese breakfast, porridge, fritters, eggs and buns, etc., which is more hearty.
"Brother Dong, look at today's morning paper. ”
Zheng Xiaotong was holding a morning newspaper, a well-known newspaper in Australia. Wang Xudong took the newspaper and opened it.
"Poof!"
As soon as he saw the content published on the front page of this newspaper, Wang Xudong almost squirted out the porridge that had just been drunk in his mouth......
On the front page of this newspaper, the ...... was prominently published
…………
The third is sent!
