Chapter 359: Procurement of Ore

"The new government strongly condemns the shameless acts of the Philippines and says it will take all means to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity" - Daily Mail

"Where does the arrogance come from? Why was the mysterious Star Ring Trade able to defeat the Philippine special forces? The private armed forces are stronger than the government forces, and the security is worrying" -- The Washington Post

"Rational negotiation is the right way, and the Philippine side mistakenly humiliates itself because of its willfulness" -- Renren Daily

"The Demon Who Cries for War: A New Country May Become a Disruptor of Regional Stability" -- Sankei Shimbun

There were more than a dozen newspapers on Jiang Chen's desk, and each of them had a very interesting point of view. Especially the Japanese media Sankei Shimbun, which also gave a close-up of Zhang Yaping's facial muscles distorted, and I don't know how he will feel when he sees it.

As for opinions, some are neutral, some are biased towards their own country, and some are subjectively biased or subjectively disgusted. Of course, it was also expected by Jiang Chen. When something like this happens, the Philippines should be more cautious. As for how to deal with this kind of diplomatic issue, and how to use the platform of the international tribunal and the 41 prisoners to knock the Philippines hard, that is what President Zhang should worry about.

At this moment, there was a soft knock at the door.

"Please come in. Throwing the newspaper in the corner of the table, Jiang Chen said casually.

Aisha, who was dressed as a maid, walked in and put the coffee on the desk in front of Jiang Chen. The light white wrinkled skirt, as well as the absolute realm looming under the skirt, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little dry when he saw it.

The reason why he was dressed like this was not because of Jiang Chen's bad taste or anything. Purely because of Aisha's interest.

That's right, it's interest.

Since the last time I came back from Ukraine. Aisha became interested in all kinds of beautiful clothes. However, because of traditional beliefs, she does not want to show too much skin in places where there are other people. So most of the clothes in the five wardrobes became her "pajamas". Whenever there are no outsiders in the house, Aisha's dress becomes "strange".

The maid costume is still good, and sometimes she even wears a bikini to do housework and only wears an apron to cook

"Thank you. Taking the cup of coffee, Jiang Chen smiled and thanked him.

Aisha also smiled, walked behind Jiang Chen, and gently squeezed his shoulder.

"Work every day and take occasional breaks. ”

"When everything is on track, I'm relaxed. "I took a sip of hot coffee. Jiang Chen put down the cup, leaned back in the chair, enjoyed the kneading of his shoulders, and closed his eyes comfortably.

"Well, if only I could help you. Aisha said with a slight loss.

In fact, in her heart, she always thought that a woman like Xia Shiyu was more suitable for Jiang Chen. It can not only help him in his career, but also his appearance is closer to the aesthetics of Oriental people. And her own words, except for the ability to kill people and the indifference of looking down on life and death, are almost insignificant.

This was the reason why she wanted to pull Xia Shiyu to Jiang Chen's pillow

"What are you thinking, you've helped me a lot. Jiang Chen denied without hesitation.

Aisha didn't speak. But from that gentle smile, it can be seen that her mood is much more relieved.

"I'm going to Australia at noon, do you want to go together?"

Hearing that Jiang Chen was going to take himself on this business trip, Aisha happily hooked the corners of her mouth.

"Of course. I'm going to change my clothes. ”

After speaking. Aisha turned and walked towards the door

Steel is the foundation of industry, even in the highly developed 22nd century.

If you want to develop industry, you can't do it without raw materials. and restricts the development of industry in the wasteland. It happens to be the scarcity of raw materials. Although raw materials such as copper, iron, aluminum, and rare earth metals can be obtained through waste recycling, they are hindered by the high degree of processing. This process is cumbersome and costly. This is one of the reasons why power armor is expensive, and the special plastic steel that covers the whole body of the T-3 power armor is not cheap at all.

When I was in the country before. Buying a large amount of iron ore or something is naturally unrealistic, which is much more risky than buying grain. But now there are not so many worries, he can buy as much as he wants, and no one has the power to investigate him.

The world's iron ore production is mainly controlled by the Big Three. Among them, Brazil's Vale, the largest company, accounted for 39%, the second largest company, Rio Tinto Mining Company, and the third largest company, BHP Mining Group, together accounted for 38%. The former one is too far away in South America, the latter two are in Australia, and there is a new Guinea between them and the new country.

Flights to Melbourne are only available at noon, and although the number of tourists to and from the Panu Islands has risen recently, there is still plenty of room for airfare, and Aisha easily bought a ticket.

After getting off the plane in Melbourne, I still opened a room in a nearby business hotel

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen. After seeing Jiang Chen, the hook-nosed Australian enthusiastically stretched out his hand.

"Fortunately. Jiang Chen also held his hand and shook it enthusiastically.

Oliver, one of the directors of BHP Group, is the manager of part of the mine development branch in Theo.

Compared with such a large company with a market value of 210 billion US dollars, Future People International is still just a small ant for the time being. Of course, no one doubts the potential of this little ant, just as Microsoft did back then.

After briefly introducing themselves, the two quickly got to the point.

"Supply 100,000 tons of iron ore, 200,000 tons of aluminum ore, and 1,000 tons of 45% molybdenum concentrate every month" Holding the contract handed over by Jiang Chen, Oliver looked at it repeatedly, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Is there any problem?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, iron and aluminum ore are okay to say. However, although this molybdenum ore is not a rare earth resource, the output has not been high, and the annual output has basically been booked. Oliver said helplessly.

"That's right. Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

Molybdenum is found in a small amount on the earth, and its content is only 0.001% of the weight of the earth's crust, which has a wide range of applications. For example, microcomputers, WeChat processors, offshore oil and gas pipes, and even some agricultural fertilizers are used.

However, there is another big use for this thing, which no one has discovered yet, and that is that the neural access device of the virtual reality device must use this thing. Although you can get a little bit of it by recycling waste products in the last days, it is obviously impossible to mass-produce it in the thousands. So I can only find a way to do it on the side of the present world.

"In the case of molybdenum mines, I suggest you try your luck in Huaguo, which is currently the world's largest molybdenum mineral. In the case of iron and aluminum ore, our company can still provide it. ”

"Let's talk about it. Molybdenum ore aside, let's talk about the price of iron and aluminum ore. Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.

went to Huaguo to buy molybdenum concentrate, but I was afraid that the Wang family would not let him buy it easily. It's too easy to get stuck in this thing of mineral resources. From mining, environmental protection, transportation, to customs, with the energy of the Wang family, as long as he has a little network in this random system, he can not do this business.

Where is this molybdenum ore easy to get? There are only two places, the South Pole and the Moon.

An international convention does not allow it, and a technical one is temporarily out of reach.

It seems that he can only find another way, Jiang Chen thought to himself. (To be continued.) )
