In fact, both Russians. Mongolians, or other foreigners, scoffed at Fan's investment group before buying the exploration rights and development rights of 40,000 square kilometers.
Geological exploration is different from ordinary things, it does not mean that after you enclose the land, you will definitely be able to explore resources, especially mineral resources with investment value.
There is also a very important question, that is, it takes a lot of time for geologists to carry out exploration, Fan Wuxian bought 40,000 square kilometers of regional exploration rights at once, so how many personnel, how much equipment, and how much time do you need to complete the exploration thoroughly?
However, all of them ignore the fact that the resources that Fan's Investment Group can use at any time, in addition to its own employees, also have the entire Chinese military as the backing, so it is really not a problem to pull out a team of thousands of people at random, even if it is to hire a domestic geological exploration team, there is nothing that cannot be done.
It is precisely for this reason that Fan Wuxian has the confidence to win the geological exploration right of 40,000 square kilometers without any scruples. Of course, his wealth is also an important reason.
Microsoft can afford to pay millions of dollars a day in fines, isn't it because of its deep pockets? If you change to any other software company, you can't afford to face immediate bankruptcy.
With the development of various projects in Mongolia, Fan's Investment Group has recruited thousands of retired soldiers to form a factory protection team, which is distributed in various mining areas of the company to ensure the safety of the lives and property of its employees.
But in any case, the investment is really not worth mentioning compared to the investment in Australia.
Fan Wuxian feels that although Mongolian officials are far darker than Australian officials, their investment here is much smaller, and the reason is that Mongolia has not formed a complete set of investment systems, especially for the development of natural resources.
Once the other party reacts, then the threshold for entering this market is much higher, even if it is a little simpler, they will directly raise the tax rate by dozens of percentage points, which will make people unprofitable.
Of course, that's a bit of a reckless approach, and if the government really wants to do that, it's guaranteed to cause public outrage. I don't mind using the power in my hands to cut off their supply of daily necessities, let them eat meat every day, and don't eat vegetables if they have the ability.
All in all, as a landlocked country surrounded by other countries, and a landlocked country that has no access to the sea, it is really not easy for Mongolia to develop, unless it is protected by one of the big countries of China or Russia, it is difficult to get out of the current embarrassing situation.
At the end of June, Fan returned to China, and at the same time, the large-scale drilling equipment he purchased from Australia also arrived in Mongolia and began large-scale in-depth exploration.
In general exploration, limited by the performance of the drilling rig, the maximum depth can only be drilled to about 1,500 meters, and the veins in some areas of Mongolia are buried very deeply, such as in the northern mining area when drilling to a depth of 800 meters, no valuable ore has been found, when drilling to a depth of 1,200 meters to 1,400 meters, valuable ore has been discovered.
In order to explore the deep reserves, Fan Wuxi figured out the ore vein reserves in the demarcated territory. The world's largest IBP drilling rig was purchased from Australia, which can drill to a depth of 3,000 meters.
It is said that there are only two such large drilling rigs in the world, and the other is used for oil exploration in the United States, the drilling rig weighs more than 70 tons, and the company uses large transport planes to fly to the domestic Panshi airport, and then transported to Mongolia by rail, and then transported to the mine area for assembly using high-power trailers.
With such large-scale equipment, the company's exploration progressed rapidly, and by the end of July, the results of exploration at several important locations had been obtained, and the most important large copper-gold mixed vein had been found, and the company and the exploration team's experts jointly made a study report that the mine had 500 tons of gold reserves and 10 million tons of copper reserves. According to the distribution of mining areas, it is divided into four mining areas: Aoyun Tolgoi Central Mining Area, Southwest Mining Area, and South Mining Area, with a total length of ore veins exceeding one kilometer.
At the same time, experts believe that there should be several more mining areas within a 100-kilometer radius according to the norm, and they are increasing their exploration efforts in order to find all the large veins within this year.
At the same time, the exploration team also found two large coal mines and an oil and gas field, both of which are of great mining value.
After Fan Wuxian got these news, he was in a very good mood, this period of luck is indeed very good, it can be said that it is going to be windy and rainy, copper mines and coal mines are one of the most important strategic resources in the international market, oil and natural gas are no exception, this time things are done quite beautifully, and the most important point is that this mining area is very close to China. It is easy to transport, and if large-scale automated mining equipment is used to mine day and night, how can these resources be emptied during the contract period.
As for the iron ore that Fan Wuzhi has always been concerned about, it has not yet been found, but Fan Wuzhi can be sure that the big iron ore is in the area demarcated by himself, and as for which specific location, it is unknown, so he has to let the exploration team work harder.
But it is certain that the exploration will be completed within this year. It is estimated that the Mongolians should feel weeping bitterly at that time, and the 40,000 square kilometers of mining area was completed after only paying 200,000 US dollars in exploration fees, which is no different from giving away for nothing.
But Fan Wuxian thought in his heart, when the time comes, when I mine, you will feel even more dumbfounded, how did the Americans go to China to dig coal, and how I dig gold in Mongolia today, this is called digging the east wall to make up the west wall.
Some domestic media and public opinion are a little incomprehensible about Fan's investment group's mining in Mongolia, most people think that there are so many mineral deposits in China, why go abroad to spend that money? If you are small, you are unwilling to support the construction of your hometown, and if you are older, you are not patriotic.
Fan Wuxian was really a little speechless about this argument, but this can't be blamed on the people in China, after all, there was a problem with the previous propaganda orientation. The lack of resources in the country is the actual situation, and the grade of the ore is not high, but ordinary people are not clear about this, and people who know this point are unwilling to talk about it for some reason, which has caused the arrogance of the Celestial Empire, thinking that there is no need to go to those wild places to carry out development, and it is simply sending money to the Mongols.
Neither Fan is sick nor the company has responded positively, anyway, making money is the king, and this kind of news will be quiet for a few days. There is really no need to quarrel with them, it is just a waste of words.
In early May, in addition to the bombing of the embassy, two old rivals, India and Pakistan, also engaged in fierce armed clashes in the Kargil region of Indian-occupied Kashmir, which lasted for more than a month until mid-July, when the armed conflict subsided.
On 9 July, Lee Teng-hui went so far as to coldly throw out the two-state theory.
In an exclusive interview with Deutsche Welle, Lee Teng-hui openly claimed that the Taiwan authorities have positioned cross-strait relations as state-to-state, or at least special state-to-state relations, rather than one-China internal relations, and that important figures in Taiwan's political circles have also vigorously advocated that cross-strait relations have moved from two equal political entities to two countries, and that cross-strait talks are state-to-state talks, and so on.
Under the banner of the so-called "human rights above sovereignty," the US-led NATO has brazenly bombed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and wantonly slaughtered innocent civilians, setting a bad precedent in the history of contemporary international relations for interfering in the internal affairs of other countries by force, and greatly boosting the arrogance of national separatists in various countries.
The US fighter plane's brutal missile attack on our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was also an atrocity rarely seen in the history of world diplomacy, which sharply deteriorated Sino-US relations and brought them to a low ebb. The ** forces in the United States are unprecedentedly arrogant, vigorously advocating, and supporting and encouraging the separatist forces on the island of Taiwan.
During this period, the Japanese Diet also passed the new Japan-US defense cooperation guidelines and related bills, indicating that Japan and the United States are ready to jointly establish a theater missile defense system including Taiwan.
Under such an international situation, Lee Teng-hui believes that the time has come to split the motherland with the help of foreign countries, so he can't wait to jump out, hoping that the international forces will help him split the motherland and create an eastern Kosovo.
The money diplomacy pursued by the Taiwan authorities for a long time has run into a wall everywhere and has run into difficulties, and Lee Teng-hui has attempted to open up the so-called international space through the two-state theory. To get rid of Taiwan's isolation in the international community, and at the same time to mislead international public opinion, the international community will understand cross-strait relations in the model of two Germanys and two Koreas, and try their best to internationalize the Taiwan issue with the help of the leading forces of the United States, Japan, and other countries.
On the other hand, when the situation in the general election in March next year is still uncertain, Lee Teng-hui is vainly trying to challenge one China with the two-state theory in order to create momentum for his cronies and gain votes.
All in all, in July 1999, although the end of the world predicted by Nostradamus did not come as scheduled, the international community was turbulent and quite unstable.
However, there is another good news from Fan Wuxi's side, and a super-large high-quality iron ore has been discovered in Mongolia.
There are no pop-ups
