"Or deal with corrupt officials. You have to get the dollar, and this principle is true in any government. Fan Wuxian said to the people in the embassy.

The ambassador glanced at Fan Wuxian very speechlessly, and then left with his hands behind his back, and the counselor whispered to Fan Wuxian, "Mr. Fan, let's not make a public announcement about this matter, the Russians, the Japanese, the Americans, the Canadians, the Australians and even the Hong Kong people all covet Mongolia's minerals, if they hear that you are actually paying large-scale bribes, it is estimated that they will be very unbalanced in their hearts, and when the time comes, it will have a negative impact on our international image." ”

Fan Wuxian smiled, "Who is willing to admit the matter of collecting money?" ”

No corrupt official will run outside and shout to everyone at the top of his voice, I took a bribe, and as for Fan Wuxi, of course, he will not go around to publicize how high the cost of bribery is, how can the outside world know?

The next thing is much easier, the Mongolian officials who have received money are highly concerned about the investment of Fan's Investment Group, and all kinds of cumbersome procedures have been completed within a week, and now what needs to be determined is the investment direction of Fan's Investment Group, that is, where is the location of the mining area to be explored and developed?

Fan Wuxian groped back and forth on a large map of Mongolia. For a while, it was not clear where the mining area should be demarcated.

Although he knew that the mining area was only 80 kilometers from the Chinese border, and that the mining area was called the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine, he did not know the exact location, so he asked a number of translators who were familiar with the Mongolian terrain, and then carefully analyzed the location of the mining area.

This mining area is located in the junction of Khan Bao Geda County and Bayan Obao County in South Gobi Province of Mongolia, the mining area is mainly distributed in Khan Bao Geda County, 600 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, 80 kilometers away from the Sino-Mongolian border, located at 43.08 degrees north latitude and 107.07 degrees east longitude.

In fact, the mine has already been discovered, first discovered by a joint expedition between Mongolia and the former Soviet Union in search of dinosaur fossils in southern Mongolia. It is only because of its remote location and the long distance to the north that Mongolia gave up the exploration and mining of the mine, and chose the Erdenet copper mine in northern Mongolia.

After re-verifying the news from officials from the Ministry of Mines of Mongolia, Fan Wuxian felt very excited, knowing that this was the real treasure he was looking for.

In order to ensure that he can delineate the entire mining area within his own exploration and mining scope, Fan Wuzhi increased the scope delineation a lot, according to the possible direction of the ore vein, and the law that several ore veins are likely to appear at the same time in the vicinity of a vein in the experience, Fan Wuzhi demarcated 40,000 square kilometers of exploration and mining area around the mining area, as the scope of investment this time was determined.

Then the discussion began on the issue of price, according to the price of five cents per hectare in the first year of exploration, the total exploration price was only 200,000 US dollars, which was simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of Fan Wuxi, but if it were to be delayed until five years later, the total exploration price would be more than 4 million US dollars.

Fortunately, Fan Wuxian can be sure that there are indeed large ore veins in this mining area, and this problem of re-exploration can be easily solved. Just find a few exploration teams to concentrate in various places and start construction at the same time, and it won't take a year to completely complete it, at least you don't have to worry about the cost being too high.

There's nothing to worry about because the value of the whole deposit is staggering, so there's nothing wrong with investing a little bit upfront.

The embassy people were very puzzled that Fan Wuzhi had demarcated an exploration and mining area so close to the Chinese border, because it seemed very strange that Mongolia's copper and gold mines were most famous for their mining areas in the north, although they had previously explored copper mines in Oyu Tolgoi, but everyone always felt that it was not very valuable, and the exploration teams of Mongolia and the former Soviet Union at that time also came to the same conclusion that the mining value was not very large.

Regarding this, Fan Wuxian knew the main reason for this, that is, because the technical equipment of the exploration team at that time was limited, and they could only probe into the strata that were not too deep, and this vein was basically a relatively deep buried mining area, and the direction of the vein they had explored at the beginning was also problematic, so a world-ranked and undeveloped copper-gold mine was missed.

If Fan Wuxian wants to re-explore, he will have a relatively clear exploration area in his heart, which is enough to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and he can succeed without spending too much time and energy.

The Mongols were a little puzzled by Fan Wuji's use of this mining area as an exploration area in a place of little mining value. But the officials who received the money also felt secretly complacent, because this area has never been the focus of everyone's attention, so although Fan Wuzhi demarcated an area of 40,000 square kilometers at once, it will not cause any fierce opposition.

In addition to the lack of discovery of high-value mineral deposits, another important reason why Mongolians and other foreigners are reluctant to develop the mine is the problem of water supply.

If you want to solve this problem, the best choice is to be able to find enough underground water source to supply the entire mining area for ore washing, Fan Wuxian remembers that the underground water source was found here at that time, and now it is also necessary to find a professional water supply force to explore, in order to find the water source as soon as possible and solve this big problem, otherwise, the ore can only be mined and pulled elsewhere for beneficiation, and the cost is too great.

If you can find an underground water source that can wash hundreds of thousands of tons of ore every day, as long as it can last for twenty or thirty years, it is enough to make yourself earn a smile, if it really can't work, you can also consider finding a way to connect a waterway from the country, it is nothing more than spending a little more money, but compared with the income, it is still very worthwhile, even if it is from 500 kilometers away with a pipeline to divert water to ensure the water supply of the mining area, it is not a big deal.

There is also a problem, which is to solve the problem of power supply and transportation, for which Fan Wuxian has also drawn up several sets of plans.

In terms of transportation, one is to build a railway to connect with China's railway network, and the other is to build roads to China. Of course, either option would need to enter China via the Gashun Suhaitu port in Khanbaogeda County, and there is no problem with that.

After the Mongolian side is completed, domestic affairs are very easy to handle, it is nothing more than an investment problem, and the total length of the railway construction cost is only 200 kilometers, which really does not cost much.

In terms of electricity, Fan Wuxian has considered either building a thermal power plant with a power of 300,000 or 500,000 kilowatts here, because there are also coal mines worth mining near this mining area, so there is no need to worry about the coal source problem.

In fact, Mongolia has abundant mineral resources in South Gobi Province and East Gobi Province, in addition to the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine, the reserves of the Narinsuhaitu Coal Mine in South Gobi Province are 100 million tons, the reserves of the Taben Tolgoi Coal Mine are no less than 5 billion tons, of which there are also reserves of 1.4 billion tons of coking coal, and the reserves of Chagan Suburiga sulfuric acid in East Gobi Province are about 60 million tons, and these mineral deposits are worth exploiting.

In the past, Mongolia did not have the biggest obstacle to the development of these areas, and it was the problem of transportation. Because of the bad relations between China and the Soviet Union and China and Mongolia, the route to Nantong is blocked, and if it is transported to the north, the construction of the entire railway and highway will be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, and the Soviets will naturally not do this kind of thing, because they are not short of resources. There is no need to expend this energy.

The Mongols were unwilling to bow to the Chinese, and their small population base was not worth building for this matter, so they did not consider developing the mineral deposits here.

As for other foreigners, it is not easy to deal with Russia, Mongolia and China at the same time, so the mineral deposits near the Sino-Mongolian border have not been developed for a long time.

In fact, the ideal plan in his mind is to build a transportation system that can be connected to railways and highways in China.

After the people in the embassy learned about Fan Wuxi's thoughts, they immediately contacted the country actively. The relevant departments in China are very positive about this, and immediately gave two sets of plans for roads and railways.

The highway plan is as follows: one is to build the Sino-Mongolian border highway of Ulaanbaatar-Taben Tolgoi-Oyu Tolgoi, and the other is to repair the Ulaanbaatar-Zongmaodu-Mandu La Gobi-Taben Tolgoi-Oyu Tolgoi-Gashun Suhaitu Port Highway, mainly using the existing highway routes.

The railway plan is: first, the Taben Tolgoi-Oyu Tolgoi-Gashun Suhai chart is connected to the Chinese railway, which can directly enter the Chinese market, and the problem here is that it is also necessary to turn the current seasonal port into a permanent port. The other is to build the Tolgoi-Oyu Tolgoi-Chagan Suburiga-Dzongbayan main line to connect with Mongolia, but the disadvantage is that the distance is too long and the cost is too high.

It is not difficult to see from these plans that Mongolia must take into account the Chinese factor in the development of the southern provinces and regions, and the mining of the mine must be supported by the Chinese side, otherwise it will definitely not be possible, so that China must ensure that China is the largest market for Mongolia's mineral exports, otherwise the cost will be too high.

"No wonder no one is willing to come here to develop, without considerable energy, this kind of thing can't be done at all." Fan Wuxian thought to himself in his heart.

Even Australians and Canadians have thought about this, but they eventually give up on the thought that it will be too much trouble to get along with China, especially if they don't have enough attractive resources to explore.

As for the other point, the foreign investment in Mongolia is still relatively small, hundreds of thousands or millions are rare, not to mention a big tycoon like Fan Wuxi, who claims to invest a billion dollars as soon as he opens his mouth.

Fan Wuxian stayed in Mongolia for twenty days, and by the time he was tired of eating stewed mutton, roast leg of lamb and mutton dumplings, and felt that he was about to become a sheep, the major events had basically been decided.

A signing ceremony was organized by the relevant Mongolian authorities, as well as by the Pham Investment Group, as well as by Russia and China, which witnessed the cooperation between the Mongolian government and the Pham Investments Group on the development of mineral resources.

After delineating the scope of the mining area and determining the address of the company, Fan Wuzhi began to send staff to form a company, recruit employees, and prepare various pre-development preparations.

Regarding this matter, it was easily reached, and Fan Wuxi's request was raised. The military sent him more than a dozen exploration teams and two water supply units to help.

Fan Wuxian was a little surprised by this matter, but he quickly figured out the truth.

Although it is unlikely that the problem of the return of China to Mongolia is not possible, it does not mean that the country does not want to improve the transportation situation here, and once something happens in the future, it is not impossible to go deep into Mongolia.

In the final analysis, this matter is also in line with the strategic layout of the military, and now that they have this opportunity, how can they not behave more actively? Of course, in another period, the Mongolian side would not have agreed to do so, after all, it would directly threaten their security.

In fact, Fan Wuxian has also seriously thought that Mongolia has not returned to China, and another important reason is that it acts as a natural barrier between China and Russia, although after the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet Red Army withdrew from Mongolia, and until now Mongolia has only a small number of military and armed forces, but Russia and China have abided by the previous agreement at the same time and do not seek absolute control over Mongolia.

Otherwise, if Mongolia becomes the territory of either of China and Russia, the border between the two military powers will suddenly increase by more than 4,000 kilometers, and this will cause a great security risk, and the military forces that need to be invested will make the two big powers feel unbearable.

From this point of view, the current state of affairs is still in line with the overall interests of both sides.

Of course, if you do something in the name of economic development, it will not cause a strong backlash from the Russians, after all, this reason is reasonable, there are no transportation conditions, can the mined minerals be fed to cattle and sheep?

There are no pop-ups
