"Intelligence with Lockheed Martin?" Fan Heng was really a little speechless at his son's astonishing idea, "Do you think they are willing to sell us information?" ”

As the main supplier of the United States, Lockheed Martin can be said to have a deep relationship with the Chinese, whether it is those murderous weapons on the Korean battlefield, or the U2 reconnaissance plane that helped Chiang Kai-shek engage in mainland intelligence, or many targeted armed activities later, Lockheed Martin's armed forces are supported by the US military.

From such a hostile position, it seems unthinkable to get intelligence from Lockheed Martin.

Fan Wuxi smiled slightly, "This matter should not be looked at from a political perspective. In business, even if the board of directors of Lockheed Martin does not agree, or the Pentagon does not agree, as long as someone agrees. ”

"Will anyone say yes?" Fan Heng asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Fan Wuxian naturally thought of Maximus, an old Jewish man who had entered the top management of Lockheed Martin and became a senior vice president, and this old man was the best choice to become an insider.

As a matter of fact, the competition in the international arms market is fierce today, and Lockheed Martin's life is not as good as before, so it is necessary to encourage the Pentagon to continue to carry out strategic expansion around the world, and the main purpose is to demonstrate its own actual combat weapons, and by the way, to open up its own arms market, for example, to find some indigenous warlords in Africa, to find some Kaizi of the Arab oil kings, or to create a tense atmosphere between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and sell some weapons to Taiwan.

Even for an opponent like the Shanghai Mainland, which has both competition and cooperation, it is impossible for Lockheed Martin to completely close the door to cooperation, and there is still the possibility of communication for some information that is not too sensitive.

Fan Wuxian naturally didn't expect the old man Maximus to be 007 and get information for himself that didn't cost money, but the old man could act as a bridge of contact, and through him he could obtain some intelligence resources that were valuable to him but not so that the old man couldn't explain it, which was completely feasible.

Yeltsin has returned to Russia, but Putin has stayed, and at this time he has not yet become the first deputy prime minister and acting prime minister of Russia, but only the secretary of the National Security Council, but in a practical sense, he is already a person who can call the shots, especially Yeltsin has trained him as his successor, and it is very clear within the Kremlin.

Two days later, Putin held formal talks with Fan Wuxi, and the general framework of cooperation between the two sides was given.

According to the unwritten agreement, Putin promised to open up channels for Fan Wuzhi to enter the Mongolian resource market, and Fan Wuzhi also promised to directly invest 50 billion US dollars in economic aid to Russia, and the mortgage of this part of the economic aid can be exchanged for Russia's mineral resources and oil and gas resources, but compared with Western countries, Fan Wuzhi has slowed down the repayment period and said that it is a completely interest-free loan.

In the end, when Putin left, he took the 10 billion US dollars of funds that Fan Wuxian had already received in advance, and it is obvious that this part of the funds is of great significance to the current Russia.

However, Putin did what he said, and a week later, the Mongolian side sent an invitation to Fan's Investment Group, expressing the hope that Fan's Investment Group would enter Mongolia's resource market and carry out friendly development.

After receiving the notice from Mongolia, Fan Wuzhi began to convene the relevant executives of the company to come to the capital almost immediately to prepare to go to Mongolia for negotiations, and also notified the technicians who have made small achievements in exploring mineral resources in Australia and Indonesia to prepare to go to Mongolia.

In this way, after Fan Wuxian submitted to his father a top-secret detailed proposal on the preparation of the Fan Investment Group for military-industrial intelligence exchanges with Russia and Lockheed Martin, and on the condition of this, plus a letter of intent for his investment in a joint venture with a state-owned military industrial enterprise, he went to Mongolia with a huge investigation team.

In the past decade, since the implementation of the ** reform and capitalist system, Mongolia is still struggling with poverty, corruption and unfair distribution of mineral deposits. As one of the world's poorest countries, with more than a third of the population living below the poverty line, Mongolia is ironically rich in minerals.

With abundant minerals that even foreigners come to pan for gold, but people in their own country are struggling with poverty, inflation is as high as 30 percent, people are constantly complaining**, and officials can't agree on the issue of mineral control, the situation in Mongolia can be described as a mess.

Mongolia has a land area of 1.56 million square kilometers and a population of just over 2 million, and almost all of the minerals in the world can be found in Mongolia, which is vast and sparsely populated, while most of the mineral deposits are still in an undeveloped state and have considerable prospects. For many years, how to control the entry of foreign companies into the field of mineral exploration and development has been the most sensitive topic in Mongolian politics.

Mongolia is rich in copper, gold, silver, iron ore, phosphorus and zinc resources, all of which are buried under the vast grasslands, and Mongolia is also the largest known coal mine-owning country, uranium resources rank third in the world, silver mines are also among the top in the world, according to the speculation of Fan Wuji's resource management team, Mongolia has about more than 3,000 tons of gold mines, more than 30 million tons of copper mines, and about 50 billion tons of high-quality coal mines waiting to be mined.

According to statistics released last month by the Mongolian National Statistics Committee, the average household income in Mongolia has increased by 40 percent compared to the same period last year, and in the past year, the wage scale of Mongolia's public institutions has increased by 70 percent, but consumer spending has also increased significantly. According to the International Monetary Fund, inflation in Mongolia reached 1 percent and 27 percent in the first four months of this year, and people complained that prices were rising and household purchasing power was falling.

Because Mongolia is a landlocked country, Mongolia relies on imports for its main agricultural products due to its high latitude and short summers, so Mongolia's mining industry accounts for more than 30% of the country's GDP every year. Today, many of Mongolia's mineral resources are in the process of opening up to foreign investors.

With industrialization and urbanization in full swing, countries around the world are struggling to find mineral resources, and some have even referred to Mongolia as Asia's new gold mountain because of the scale of potential investments and the high expected future returns.

At present, the top countries for investment in Mongolia's mining sector are mainly Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea.

Britain's Rio Tinto is also preparing to enter the Mongolian mineral resources market, as the world's second largest mining giant, they have many advantages, but Mongolia's special situation and under the wing of Russia, this is not so easy.

In order to improve the investment environment and attract more foreign investors to Mongolia's resource market, for example, Mongolia promulgated the Mineral Resources Law the year before last and introduced relevant preferential policies to attract foreign investment. Last year, Canada's CenterraGold Mining Company invested $75 million to acquire the entire rights to Mongolia's Boroo gold mine, as well as tax breaks for the first five years.

It is located in the South Gobi Province of Mongolia, 650 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar in a straight line, and only 80 kilometers away from the Sino-Mongolian border, with a copper content of 26.6 million tons and a gold content of 25.7 million ounces, with a commercial value of about 170 billion US dollars.

Mongolia has resumed oil exploration and exploitation since the early nineties, and has now found that proven reserves can reach about 8 billion barrels, and there are 13 oil basins in the border area with China alone, with reserves of more than 3 billion barrels, and the oil quality is good, its API artesian index is 41, and the API artesian index of China's Daqing oilfield is only 34.

The Mongolian Mining Law, amended in June 1997, stipulates that foreign businessmen enjoy the same treatment as Mongolian enterprises in applying for mineral development licenses, and that the exploration period is three years, which can be extended for two years, and the development period is 60 years, which can be renewed for 40 years, and each permit can develop an area of up to 4,000 square kilometers, and there is no limit to the number of licenses that can be handled by each enterprise or individual.

Fan Wuxian has long coveted Mongolia's mineral resources, whether it is copper, gold and coal, or oil, are indispensable strategic resources in the future, at this time Mongolia's domestic political situation is chaotic, the enthusiasm of foreign intervention is not strong, it is a good opportunity for their own strong intervention, and when Mongolia's mineral resources are gradually developed and clear, it is not easy to control those high-quality mining areas, at least not as easy as now.

Although Mongolia has been actively introducing foreign investment, but so far, it has only introduced more than 100 million US dollars of investment, and it is generally introduced from the aspect of venture capital, after all, most foreign investors really have little confidence in this isolated landlocked country, and if you want to cooperate with Mongolia, the first thing to solve is two problems, or to reach an understanding with Russia, or to use China's transportation lines, there is no other way out.

It is not easy to solve this problem, but for Fan Wuxi, there is no such scruples.

For him, Mongolia is the fattest and largest sheep, and all he has to do now is to drive it into his sheepfold first.

There are no pop-ups
