Gao Meinan didn't feel that he was despised, he looked at Xiaoba, and said in surprise: "Such a big one, I've lived for a long time." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Of course." The lotus flower is inexplicably proud, as if he is alive. "Judging by its size, it's been more than three centuries old."

"Oh." Gao Meinan was not envious, and muttered: "I think with our development speed, we can live longer than it." ”

Lotus Hua's face darkened when she heard this, isn't it better than the others? I have to compare my life with Wang Ba!!

Gao Meinan lost interest after a few glances, and turned around to flash, "I'm going back." ”

"Wait." Lotus stopped him and asked, "How is the research work on the crystal?" ”

"Uh.." Gao Meinan scratched his head in embarrassment, there was also a reason why he was in a hurry to leave.

"I can't find out the age, it's a very ordinary crystal, and the silica is very stable. I don't know anything about the process, and I don't think it has any technology..."

"It contains a super graphene component inside, which can be seen at 1650°C, close to the melting point."

"Oh." The lotus is not unexpected, if there is no hair, it is called strange. He thought for a moment and asked, "What is that?" Function? Shape? What ingredients? ”

"Well.." Gao Meinan lowered his head and pinched his fingers, and the volume became weaker and weaker, "Those things are scattered inside, the largest piece is about 0.45 microns, and it is irregular and translucent when heated. The ingredients are not easy to detect, and the effect is also..."

"Okay, take your time." Lotus accepted this result quite calmly, anyway, he couldn't think of any way without destroying the integrity of the crystal.

But it can't be destroyed! First, it must be part of a whole, and secondly, is there a rule in the arrangement of the internal components? Is there a limit to the quantity? I don't even know about that. He would not choose to compromise its integrity until he had to.

Gao Meinan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he can be said to have made no progress at all these days. "Then I'm going back?"

"Go ahead, go ahead." Lotus waved his hand, the crystal was not the point at the moment, he had some more important things to do.

....

May 15, City B, Lotus Group Headquarters.

"Are you serious?"

"Ahh Oh.. That's fine. Don't mess up. ”

The phone hung up, Zhang Li frowned slightly, and beckoned to Guo Rui.

"Mr. Zhang." Seeing this, Guo Rui hurriedly stepped forward, and the lotus seemed to have some arrangements.

Zhang Li pondered for a moment and whispered to her.

Guo Rui's expression gradually changed from doubt to surprise and incredulity. After Zhang Li finished speaking, she gestured with her eyes that she had heard it correctly just now, right?

Zhang Li nodded helplessly, "Go and arrange it." ”

Guo Rui pursed her lips tangled and turned to leave. She thinks that the lotus flowers should not mess around... Right?

In mid-May, Hua Guo became the focus of the world in an awe-inspiring gesture.

In late May, the mining markets in North and South America ushered in an inexplicable spring.

Graphite, a mineral that once swept the world. However, from the nineties of the last century to 2003, the world graphite market was depressed, graphite products were overproduced, and graphite mining enterprises in some countries either stopped production or closed.

It wasn't until 2005 that the world graphite supply was in short supply, and the graphite market was able to recover some vitality.

As for graphene, the name is currently only circulating among high-end laboratories and mining groups, as well as investors.

At present, no one can afford the ultra-difficult and ultra-high-cost preparation method of graphene, and the prepared finished products cannot be used for product development.

However, it is a project worth investing in, worth exploring, and worth investing in. So the market for graphite is also gradually increasing.

In 2007, global graphite production was about 1 million tons, and China accounted for 55% of it.

Mexico ranked fifth with 10,000 tons, with the Mexican group accounting for 75% of its production, and its subsidiaries are the world's largest and most invested graphene project companies.

Brazil is third with 77,000 tonnes and 60% of the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter, Vale. However, their graphite is sold as an export product.

Squamous graphite is $350/ton, synthetic graphite and processed spherical graphite are slightly more expensive, and soil graphite is the cheapest. However, the cost performance of these graphites is not high, and the largest circulation in the global graphite market is still squamous graphite.

On May 20, a piece of news shocked the world mining market.

Lotus Group invested US$80 million to reach a deal deal with Mexico Group for up to 200,000 tons of graphite.

200,000 tons to be paid in five years, with an initial payment of 50,000 tons. That's almost 80% of the Mexican group's graphite reserves.

$80 million, which is not a huge deal. But why?

Why? Everyone wants to know why! Why did Lotus Group buy graphite? Why didn't it choose Huaguo, the leader with a 70% share of the global graphite market?

200,000 tons, you know, Huaguo's graphite reserves are as high as 20 million tons!

The Mexican Group was also confused, but they had no reason to reject the agreement. The graphite market has always been saturated, they have no shortage of graphite, as long as they put in mining, then the production will inevitably increase.

With the exposure of this transaction, the graphite market suddenly became weird. The price also increased slightly from $350 to $370. But there is no market.

During this period, the mining bosses of Huaguo frantically tried to contact Zhang Li. They can't figure it out at all, let alone $350, if it's such a deal of hundreds of thousands of tons, $300 is completely okay!!

However, Zhang Li never showed up.

On May 25, the news came out again.

Lotus Group has reached a deal for 400,000 tons of graphite with three major mining companies in Mexico and Vale in Brazil!

And at a price of $370!

The $150 million deal, plus the previous $80 million, is $230 million!

No one can remain indifferent to this figure, Wall Street, London City Street, Tokyo Financial Market, Hong Kong International Financial Center, Shanghai, Singapore, etc., all investment analysis agencies are operating.

The development of the Lotus Group is like a miracle, and no one will ignore its decisions. The graphite market has changed again, climbing from $370 to $400, reaching an all-time high! However, there is still no market.

The market has become quite strange, and the global graphite trading volume has not increased significantly. However, the stock market is a different story.

The Mexican group has entered the world's top 100 with an unprecedented market value of $80 billion, and its graphene project company has risen even higher, with a market value of $8 billion. Other listed mining companies with graphite projects have increased, and the Mexican stock market is booming!

Mexico basically lives off crude oil and mining exports, and the government is laughing from ear to ear, well, mouth.

You know, the current president, Felipe, and his system members are all related to these crude oil mining groups. Without the economic support of these domestic giants, they would not have been able to sit in this position.

However, just as this thriving but eerie May has just passed.

June 1st, the traditional festival of China, Children's Day.

On that day, Light&Hope sent out 88 invitations.

Invitation in plain black with gold lettering.

June 8, Serralvo Island, press conference. (To be continued.) )
