If there were several optional targets, Wang Xudong probably would not have such doubts.

Sam? Among the materials that Standy came up with, there was only an introduction to a small rare earth mine, not multiple rare earth mines, which made Wang Xudong suspicious. Maybe Sam? Standi didn't think of this either, and thought he had done a good job, but in fact, he ignored this and didn't come up with multiple rare earth mines as alternatives, but only one.

Wang Xudong sneered in his heart and kept a heart at the same time, but he didn't show it on his face, it looked like he was looking through these materials very seriously, and he was also listening to Sam seriously? Presentation of Stendy.

After reading the information and listening to the introduction, Wang Xudong said: "Sam? Mr. Standy, this rare earth mine is not very good. ”

Liang Hongbo said: "The scale is very small, the reserves are relatively small, according to the ratio of 10 to 1, the 'Super Metal No. 1' special steel you can buy from Sanlian Special Steel Group is very limited." ”

Sam? Standy obviously thought of his words in advance, and hurriedly said: "This is just our first cooperation, there will be a second and third time in the follow-up, first in exchange for this rare earth mine, to buy the first batch of special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group, if possible, we can continue to cooperate in the future." ”

If it's just the first time we have worked together, it makes sense.

Wang Xudong did not delve into this matter, and waved his hand: "The information shows that the resource reserves of this rare earth mine are about 156,000 tons, and according to the ratio of 10 to 1, you can buy 15,600 tons of 'Super Metal No. 1' special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group." ”

"No, no." Sam? Standi hurriedly shook his head.

The focus of this negotiation is the issue of proportion, and he naturally will not agree to this 10-to-1 ratio, no, he immediately shook his head.

"Mr. Wang, the ratio of 10 to 1 is too exaggerated, and we think the ratio of 1 to 1 is more appropriate."

The price is sky-high, and the money is paid back on the ground. It seems that Sam? Standi also understood the essence of this, and immediately reduced the ratio from 10 to 1 to 1, a 10 times reduction in one fell swoop.

This is the focus of negotiations between the two parties.

Wang Xudong said: "1 to 1 is absolutely not, if according to this ratio, it means that Sanlian Special Steel Group wants to sell you 156,000 tons of this special steel, which is absolutely impossible, we can make appropriate concessions, 9.5 to 1, can not be lower." ”

Wang Xudong is not stupid, he is very smart, and he knows that little by little, he only lowered it by 0.5, reducing the ratio from 10 to 1 to 9.5 to 1, instead of 9 to 1, or 8 to 1.

You went back and forth, talked for a long time, and it was very intense.

In the end, the stalemate was held, and Wang Xudong dropped to 6-1 at the lowest, while Sam? Standi insisted on being 3-1, and the gap between the two sides was a little bigger.

Liang Hongbo even proposed that the rare earth resource reserves of this mine are Sam? Whether it is 156,000 tons unilaterally proposed by Standy is to be further determined.

Wang Xudong also knew that the data of 156,000 tons might have a lot of moisture, and began to dig deeper. Standy's face flushed, very embarrassed.

It's good that you haven't been investigated, and you might get away with it, Sam? Standy just wants to get through the confusion, hoping to get more shares and buy more of this special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group.

You can't hide it.

Sam? Standy admitted shamelessly: "This is the assessment data from 10 years ago, after years of mining, the resource reserves of this rare earth mine should be about 100,000 tons." ”

100,000 tons is only a rough estimate, and there may not be 100,000 tons yet.

From 156,000 tons to 100,000 tons all of a sudden, Wang Xudong felt refreshed, and he didn't mean to continue to study, whether it was 100,000 tons or 90,000 tons, which didn't mean much to Wang Xudong.

The main thing is the issue of proportionality.

Wang Xudong said: "Then press 100,000 tons." ”

Sam? Stendy was overjoyed, and even couldn't believe it, and asked, "Don't you conduct comprehensive exploration and evaluation to determine the real rare earth resource reserves?" ”

Wang Xudong waved his hand and said: "This time, I believe you, just calculate it according to 100,000 tons." ”

For Wang Xudong, there is no need to be very accurate about the amount of resource reserves, and there is no need to conduct comprehensive exploration and evaluation there.

Wang Xudong just wants this mine, and it doesn't matter how big or small it is.

As long as there is such a mine, even if it is only a small mine, it can be transformed into a super rare earth mine with huge reserves in Wang Xudong's hands.

If it is really a comprehensive and meticulous exploration, it will not be good for Wang Xudong. Because Wang Xudong will gather a large number of rare earth resources there in the future.

If it has been comprehensively and carefully explored, there are not many rare earth resources there, and a large number of rare earth resources will suddenly emerge in the future, which is a little inexplicable, which is the reason why Wang Xudong does not want to carry out comprehensive exploration.

Wang Xudong even asked, "Sam?" Mr. Standy, 100,000 tons is just your estimate, and this rare earth mine has not been fully explored, but it doesn't matter, we accept this data, just 100,000 tons. ”

Sam? "It's just a small rare earth mine, and it's only a small mining company that has mined it before, and they didn't carry out a comprehensive exploration of rare earth resources in that area, but just a cursory exploration and came to the conclusion that there are 156,000 tons of rare earth resource reserves," Standi admitted. ”

Wang Xudong did not mean to delve into it, accepting the figure of 100,000 tons, Sam? Standi told the truth.

The reason is that this small rare earth mine has not been fully and carefully explored, which means that if there are suddenly large quantities of rare earths in the future, it will make sense, and it will not seem shocking.

Again, it's a matter of proportionality.

The two sides talked for a long time, for two days in a row, and even some details were basically agreed, but they still did not reach an agreement on the issue of proportion.

Sam? Standy insisted on a maximum of 4 to 1, which means that they should be able to buy 25,000 tons of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group.

Wang Xudong insisted on a 6-to-1 ratio, that is, he agreed to sell up to 16,700 tons of this special steel.

In the end, Wang Xudong proposed to go to this rare earth mine to have a look, and after a field investigation, the two sides sat down and continued to talk.

This offer, Sam? Standi could only accept it.

Actually, Sam? Standy wanted to get this matter done as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, because he knew that this was actually a "waste mine", and even if Xudong Mining Group obtained the mining and operation rights of this mine, it would definitely not be able to mine it.

It is precisely because he knows that there is such a cat hidden that he naturally hopes to get things done as soon as possible and sign a series of agreement documents with Wang Xudong as soon as possible.

Wang Xudong's proposal is not excessive, on the contrary, it is reasonable.

Even the rare earth mine has not been to the site to investigate, and a series of agreement documents were signed immediately, which seems a little too hasty and unreasonable.

In the face of Wang Xudong's proposal, Sam? Standi could only agree. So, Sam? Standy said: "Mr. Wang, if it is convenient, we can leave as soon as possible, and I will personally take you to this rare earth mine to investigate, and we will negotiate things as soon as possible." ”

Wang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Okay, then we will leave tomorrow." ”

And so it was settled.

The next day, Wang Xudong took his A380 plane and flew directly from Donghai City to a famous city in the western part of Citigroup. Standy et al.

After the plane landed in the west, take a break, Sam? Standy arranged a car and headed to the western inland town closest to the rare earth mine.

Liang Hongbo went with Wang Xudong, after all, this is about the second rare earth mine of Xudong Mining Group, which can be regarded as a big deal. In addition, there is Lin Hu.

Sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside, Liang Hongbo said: "Brother Dong, honestly, the road traffic in the western part of Citigroup is still good. ”

It is a very nice asphalt road with top class road conditions and smooth and fast driving for vehicles. Looking out the window, you can see the typical scenery of Citigroup's western interior, which is unique.

After two or three hours of driving, the car arrived at a small town called Sandino, which is the closest town to the mine, only 20 to 30 kilometers away from the rare earth mine.

In the western interior, which is typically vast and sparsely populated, small towns like this are rare in the western interior, and drive along the asphalt roads in good condition into the town.

Wang Xudong said with a smile: "It looks like the town is not bad. ”

Liang Hongbo also said: "It is worthy of being a developed capitalist country, just an inland town, and the environment and conditions are first-class. ”

The town is clean, modern and not a little dirty, which makes people love it at first sight. Wang Xudong's impression of the country of Citigroup is average, but his impression of this town is really good.

The car stopped in front of one of the best western restaurants in town, and after getting out of the car, Sam? Standy invited: "Mr. Wang, let's dine here first, and then go to the mining area in the afternoon to have a look and do a field trip." ”

Wang Xudong saw that this western restaurant looked good, nodded and said, "Yes, eat first, and then go to the mining area in the afternoon." ”

Everyone walked into this Western restaurant, obviously, Sam? Standy had already done everything in advance, and there were no other guests in the western restaurant, waiting for the arrival of Wang Xudong and others.

The Western food is very rich, and Wang Xudong is more satisfied.

After the meal, Sam? Standy arranged the best hotel in town for Wang Xudong and Liang Hongbo to stay in. The hostel is not big, but it is clean and gives a homely feel.

Anyway, it was just a stay of one or two nights, Wang Xudong happily entered his room, rested for a while, and in the afternoon, everyone drove to the mining area together.

Riding in the car, when he was about to leave the town, Wang Xudong smiled, and didn't think that the town still has a railway station and a railway.

What makes Wang Xudong even more pleased is that this small rare earth mine is actually connected to the railway, which is connected to the main railway near the town at one end and to the mining area at the other.

It can be seen that because the rare earth ore has not been mined for many years, the railway leading to the mining area has also shown a little signs of abandonment, but it does not affect its use.

Liang Hongbo also discovered this, "Brother Dong, the previous information did not say that the mining area was connected to the railway, I didn't think about it, there was actually a railway." ”

The previous introduction was relatively simple, and there was really no mention of this railway. At first glance, seeing this railway was a big surprise for Wang Xudong and Liang Hongbo.

The road to the mining area is in very good condition, although there are only two lanes, it is a beautiful asphalt road, more than 20 kilometers, less than half an hour, a few cars gradually drove into the mining area.

Through the window glass, Wang Xudong can already see the rare earth mine in front of him.

………

The third is more sent.

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