Fan stayed in a yurt overnight, and the next day he led a large group to the city of Ulaanbaatar to meet with Mongolian government officials and Russian officials who had come to act as intermediaries.

The members of the Presidium of Mongolia's Great Hural and the responsible person of the Ministry of Mines personally went into battle, and the Russian side specially sent several officials from the Prime Minister's Office to facilitate the handling of affairs, which also showed that the Russian side strongly supported Fan Wu's entry into Mongolia's mineral resources development market.

In fact, what Fan Wuxian needs is just an attitude problem, because Mongolia has a rejection of Chinese investors, although their companies are registered overseas, but it is difficult to ensure that they will not deliberately make things difficult because most of their companies are Chinese, which will affect their work efficiency.

At this time, since there is pressure from Russia, and they can also influence China's resource exports to Mongolia, I believe they will become much more honest, besides, don't they still have a lot of money to clear the customs?

The Russians basically do not participate in the negotiations between Fan Wuxian and the Mongols, they are just a referee, but the negotiations between Fan Wuxian and the Mongols are real.

In order to speed up the development and utilization of mineral resources and strengthen management and coordination, the current government of Mongolia has set up a Geological and Mineral Resources Policy Coordination Bureau in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which is mainly responsible for the formulation, supervision and implementation of policies and regulations on the development and utilization of mineral resources, as well as relevant coordination work. At the same time, the ministry also has a government executive agency, the Mineral Management Bureau, which is responsible for the specific organization and implementation of the exploration, development and utilization of mineral resources in Mongolia, and the exploration and development licenses for mineral resources projects are issued by the Bureau.

In order to attract domestic and foreign funds to develop and utilize mineral resources as soon as possible, in 1997 the Great Hural of Mongolia passed the first "Mineral Resources Law" and revised and improved it. According to the law, Mongolian citizens, foreign citizens and legal persons have the right to obtain an exploration license and to transfer or mortgage the license in whole or in part to another person.

The exploration licence is valid for three years and can be renewed twice for two years each. An exploration site may be approved under a licence with an area of not less than 25 hectares and not more than 400,000 hectares.

Legal entities established and conducting business in accordance with the laws and regulations of Mongolia have the right to obtain a development license and to transfer or mortgage the license in whole or in part to others. The development permit is valid for 60 years and can be renewed for another 40 years.

A license can only be sold to one legal entity, and if more than one legal person applies for the same license, it will be sold to the first legal person in chronological order of application, and the licensee must go through the formal transfer procedures with the Minerals Administration when transferring the license to another person.

Exploration licences are charged per hectare for exploration sites, with five cents for the first year, ten cents for the second and third years, one dollar for the fourth and fifth years of the license, and one and a half dollars for the sixth and seventh years.

Holding a development permit is charged per hectare for the mining area to which the development belongs, at US$5 per year for the first three years, US$7.5 per year for the fourth and fifth years, and US$10 per year from the sixth year onwards.

In addition, the Mongolian government also has environmental protection regulations for developers of mineral resources, developers must submit environmental impact assessments and environmental protection plans to the central state agencies in charge of environmental issues and the relevant provincial and county administrators, prohibit the start of exploration and development activities without the written approval of the relevant environmental protection authorities, and restore the original topography of the mined mining areas.

In order to ensure that the licensee fully fulfills its obligations in terms of environmental commitments, it is required to use as collateral funds equivalent to 50% of the annual budget required for the implementation of environmental protection measures, which must be transferred to a special account before the implementation of the project.

Fan Wuxian's subordinates, who are professionals who have studied the development of mineral resources in various countries, immediately had a-for-tat discussion on these conditions in Mongolia, and the two sides can be said to be at loggerheads with each other, often arguing over an issue.

As for some of the various tax collection standards proposed by the Mongolian side, such as income tax, mineral resources development fees, land use fees, water resource use fees, and pre-exploration fees for recovering state inputs, the experts in Fan Wuxian also have great opinions, and they have said that they are big customers, and such harsh conditions are too unacceptable, after all, compared with the international standards, Mongolia's standards are simply blocking their own channels for attracting investment.

"We also have some preferential policies." Officials in the Department of Mines probably rarely come into contact with such a professional team, and the last time they dealt with the Canadians, it was the Russians who came forward to negotiate with them, and they didn't make much effort.

But this time the Russians stood by and watched, obviously in the middle of the box, and it was not suitable to make a statement, which made the officials of the Mongolian Ministry of Natural Resources feel a little bit of a wipe, after all, these things are too troublesome.

Mongolia's so-called preferential policies do have a lot, for example, the machinery and equipment required for the exploration and development of mineral resources are exempt from import duties, and the export of its products is exempt from value-added tax and export duties, and for enterprises that develop mineral resources, projects with an investment amount of more than 2 million US dollars in the first five years can be required to sign a stable operation contract with the Minister of Finance in order to ensure that the tax and other aspects during the development and operation period are not affected by policy changes, and the income tax can be exempted from income tax for three to five years after signing.

With the approval of the Mongolian government, the post fee charged to foreign technical and managerial personnel can also be exempted. According to Mongolia's Law on the Export and Import of Labor Services and Specialists, enterprises employing foreign technical or managerial personnel are required to pay a monthly post fee of twice the legal minimum wage in Mongolia to the Mongolian labor department, which is about 400 yuan per person, which can be saved.

However, these are ordinary minerals, and Mongolia still looks at gold mines very closely, and the taxes and fees are also high, and they are unwilling to reduce prices.

"Our investment amount is very large-" Fan Wuxian saw that he hadn't discussed it all day, and he was a little impatient.

Others don't know how much benefit he is trying to seek, but he himself knows very well that there is no need to argue so much about the matter in front of him, and it is still very beneficial to give them a little sweetness appropriately.

So Fan Wuxian said to the officials of the Ministry of Mines, "Our initial investment is about one billion US dollars, and if the policy is favorable, we can add more." ”

As soon as the officials of the Ministry of Mines heard this topic, their eyes immediately turned green, in the past few years, the total investment of foreigners in Mongolia was less than 100 million US dollars, and the Fan Investment Group had to invest 1 billion US dollars in advance!

What kind of concept is this?! Mongolia has a population of only two million, and one billion dollars, which is equivalent to an average of five hundred dollars per person! The income of all Mongolians in a year is not so much!

With such a large investment, how much land needs to be demarcated? The minds of the officials of the Ministry of Mines suddenly became active, and they were secretly thinking about how much additional income they could make in this business.

In the evening, Fan Wuxian said that he would give a banquet to the officials of the Ministry of Mines and Russian friends, and the place was in the embassy.

When it was time for dinner, there were about 20 Mongolian officials, including the main officials of the Ministry of Mines and several important members of the Presidium of the Great Hural.

The ambassador met with Fan Wuxian in advance, and introduced to him some of the current situation in Mongolia and the main government officials, and he said that the Mongolian government today is extremely **, even more ** than Russia in the most chaotic time, and investors rarely get the land and permits they want without bribing them.

Fan Wuxian replied with a smile, I am not afraid that they will collect money, I am afraid that they will not collect money, and use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, as long as they accept my money, they will have to do things for me obediently.

Nowadays, Mongolia's mineral resources development policy is actually not too harsh, because at this time the international mineral resources market has not risen, and the development foundation here is not good, so the market is very low, but no one needs to worry about making more money, right? It is best to be able to keep the price as low as possible.

There was nothing special about eating, but the super red envelope handed out by Fan Wuxi after the meal made this group of officials feel what it means to be wealthy, and more than 20 people received a commercial bribe of 20 million US dollars from Fan Wuxi.

This is a very straightforward bribe, all in cash.

Fan Wuxian said to everyone, "What I want is speed and the most preferential policy, as long as you can get it, these are all yours, and in the future, you will act according to the contract, and no one will find anyone's account." ”

Everyone's eyes are all the color of dollars, and an average person's bribe of one million dollars is nothing more than selling a little national interest, such a simple thing is simply a gesture!

And Fan Wuxian said very clearly, if you don't look for the back account, it means a hammer deal, if you get this matter, you will resign and go abroad, and there is a lot to do, as long as you have money in your hands, do you have to worry about life in other places is not as good as Mongolia?

Depend on! In addition to the delicious beef and mutton, what is good about Mongolia!?

Even if you go to Russia, life is much better than staying in Mongolia, right? As soon as they thought of this question, this group of more than twenty officials of the Ministry of Mines and the Great Hural immediately let out a final cry with red eyes, "It's done!" ”

There are no pop-ups
