Chapter 554: We also have a patent stick
2 billion tons of Niu Weihua can't think that such a big mine is too rare. However www.biquge.info based on his experience, the reserves of this iron ore should not be less than 300 million tons. Moreover, Niu Weihua found that the taste of this iron ore is very high, and the specific value is difficult to say, but it is certainly higher than the Shilu iron ore in the island province.
"Lao Chu, it seems that this time, we are indeed going to send it, this is a rare iron-rich ore!"
A day later, Niu Weihua rushed to Chu Lei and said that his technical team had conducted a preliminary analysis of the iron ore and concluded that the taste of this iron ore was as high as 70%, and its average taste must not be less than 60%.
"Iron-rich?" Chu Lei stood up in shock, "How much taste?" β
"The average taste will never fall below 60%!"
"Oh my God!" Chu Lei's hands trembled with excitement, "A rich iron ore with reserves of 2 billion tons...... I remember that Asia's largest iron ore reserves are less than 500 million tons, right? In this way, our iron ore is equivalent to 4 Shilu iron ore? β
"And that's not all! The average iron grade of Shiroku iron ore is 48.81%, and our iron ore grade is more than ten percentage points higher. It can be said that there are few iron-rich mines in the world that are bigger than it. Niu Weihua's words popped out like a machine gun, showing that he was not at peace in his heart.
"It's really sent!" Chu Lei muttered.
"By the way, Lao Chu, are you sure that this iron ore belongs to us completely?" Niu Weihua suddenly asked.
Chu Lei laughed a few times: "Hahaha, Lao Niu, I can tell you that not only here, but also the land around the other two iron mines, we have all bought." This iron mine is 100% ours, so don't worry! β
The discovery of the Siberian iron ore shocked the world, and the Russian side also sent people to explore, and finally confirmed that the reserves of the Lesh iron ore are 2.2 billion tons, which is a little higher than Luyang's prediction, and the average iron content is 63%, which is a rare iron-rich ore in Asia.
"They really found the iron ore." Hearing this news, the Pu Tsar's heart was full of mixed feelings, which was particularly complicated.
The whole of Russia was shocked by this news, especially after knowing that this iron mine belonged to Penglai Island and had nothing to do with Russia, the people's reaction was even greater. Within the Russian government, many people want to nationalize the iron mine, after all, such a rich iron mine, worth more than trillions of rubles, is by no means comparable to the 120 billion yuan invested in Penglai Island.
Although the two sides signed a contract, it is not surprising that the government broke the contract in the face of such wealth. What's more, the Russian government is now so short of money, and this iron mine is fully capable of solving their financial crisis.
"President, are we reconsidering the agreement with Penglai Island?" When Medev heard the news, he couldn't sit still and suggested to the Tsar.
The Ptsar asked rhetorically: "Why, you are also under pressure?" β
Mejeff nodded lightly: "Metallurgical Investment Company, Eurasia Holding Company, Northern Iron and Steel Company, their people came to me and were willing to buy this iron mine at a high price. However, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that we need this iron ore ......"
The Ptsar sneered: "These mining giants see the Le Sh Iron Mine like a shark sees blood. β
Mejeff scoffed: "It's shark instinct. β
"Do you think we'll really be able to get this iron mine back?" Tsar Phu shook his head, then asked.
Mejeff was stunned, and quickly came back to his senses: "It's just an iron mine, will the Huaxia people go to war with us over it?" Huaxia's military strength is growing rapidly, but it is still far from ours! β
The Pu Tsar breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, if it is from the perspective of military strength, we are not afraid of Huaxia, and Huaxia will not go to war with us." But don't forget, it was Penglai Island that signed the agreement with us, the lawless and high-tech Penglai Island. β
Mejeff was silent.
"How much the rice people have suffered on Penglai Island, we all know that Lu Yang's character, we also understand. Do you think he will let go so easily? The Ptsar asked again.
Mejeff subconsciously shook his head, not to mention a person with a character like Lu Yang, as long as he is a normal person, who would give up thousands of trillions worth of iron ore to others for nothing?
"The benefits are big, the risks are also big, and I offended a friend with unlimited potential." The Ptsar had already made a decision in his heart, but his tone was full of helplessness.
Lu Yang didn't know about the quarrel within Russia, but he could also imagine it, after all, who wouldn't be tempted by such a big fortune? He is not worried about Russia's default, and Penglai Island has enough confidence to defend its own interests. Not to mention Russia, which has been isolated by Western countries such as the United States, even if the United States dares to snatch the interests of Penglai Island like this, Lu Yang dares to show his muscles with them!
In less than a month, Niu Weihua led people to determine the other two iron mines. Three super-large iron-rich mines have made Penglai Mining Company famous in the world and an upstart in the international steel market.
Later, Chu Lei announced at a press conference held on Penglai Island that Penglai Mining Company's mining robots will arrive at the Leshi Iron Mine in a month, and next year, Penglai Mining Company's iron ore output will reach 80 million tons!
On the same day, international steel prices fell slightly.
The science and technology community in the United States is very active this year, and under the threat of Penglai Island, several major high-tech companies in the United States have begun to join forces. With abundant financial and human support, the country's science and technology has a tendency to explode, showing its scientific and technological hegemony.
In April, Microsoft and Alphabet announced that they had developed a smarter operating system for computers and devices. Lu Yang paid attention to this matter and found that many third-level computer languages were used, far more than the three-level computer languages contained in the extinguishing virus written by Lu Yang before. It can be seen that the progress of the people of the United States in this regard is extraordinary.
In May, the graphene laboratory of Columbia University announced that they had developed a new graphene battery with a capacity of 20 times that of ordinary lithium batteries, which made the people of Mi proud for a while. However, the graphene production technology of the United States is far inferior to that of Huaxia, resulting in the high cost of this kind of battery, and it does not have the ability to compete with Huaxia in the short term.
In June, General Motors launched its own smart car, becoming the second company in the world to be able to independently develop smart cars after Penglai Automobile! As an automobile giant in the United States, GM's smart car sales exceeded 20,000 units in less than half a year after it was launched, which is much better than the original performance of Zi MSI. It's just that what embarrasses the people of the United States is that GM's smart car adopts the intelligent operating procedures of Penglai Automobile Company.
In August, the fourth upgrade of Gaia's artificial intelligence in the United States, with the Swift supercomputer, Gaia's performance has been significantly improved.
In September, the company announced that it would invest $5 billion in the development of wireless energy transmission tower technology.
In November, SpaceX's first space shuttle flew for a test flight.
Everyone can see that the current technical research of the people of the United States is completely based on Penglai Island as the goal and reference, and their progress is very fast. Although the current technological gap between the two sides is still very large, no one can guarantee that Penglai Island will not be caught up by the United States, after all, the United States is the world's largest economy and the world's largest power, and Penglai Island is only an island of 4,000 square kilometers.
In this regard, many media around the world commented, "The competition between China and the United States is turning into competition in the field of science and technology, and this competition has driven the overall scientific and technological level of the world." β
What makes Lu Yang relieved is that the catch-up of the United States is not a bad thing. Although this opponent has not yet posed a real threat, the news has already stimulated Penglai Island. Compared with last year, Penglai Group's investment in technology research and development has increased by 30% this year, and its achievements have been much greater.
In addition, Penglai Group's team of technical R&D personnel has doubled. At present, the number of regular employees under Penglai Group exceeds 1 million, and R&D personnel account for 55%. This proportion and number is also rare in major technology companies around the world.
Another point that Lu Yang is happy about is the patent issue of Penglai Group.
In the first three quarters of 2019, Penglai Group applied for a total of 27,000 patents, ranking first in the world, of which overseas patent applications accounted for 60%. In the four years since its establishment, Penglai Group has accumulated more than 80,000 large and small patents through its own applications and overseas acquisitions. This figure is inconspicuous compared to those long-established technology companies, but the quality of Penglai Group's patents is unmatched by any other company.
In many technical fields, Penglai Island is in a monopoly position.
With the technical guidance of Luyang and such a large number and excellent technical team, Penglai Group is going further and further on the road of leading science and technology.
Because of patent issues, the legal department of Penglai Group is particularly busy this year, and their main job this year is to fight lawsuits with opponents!
"Boss, this is a settlement request from the United States Special Materials Company." Wu Tao, general manager of the group's legal department, sent a document to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang smiled contemptuously: "They want to reconcile now? β
Wu Tao said: "I think they were also forced to have no choice, they lost this lawsuit, if we don't let go, the only way for Mi Guo Special Materials Company to go bankrupt!" β
The two were talking about the infringement lawsuit of a company in the United States at the beginning of the year, which was about graphene.
Although Lu Yang has not been researching graphene for a long time, he has a series of core technologies such as graphene production. At the beginning of this year, Penglai Group discovered that Miguo Special Materials Company was illegally using their patented technology, and immediately filed a lawsuit to sue the company worldwide.
η±³ε½Special Materials Company is not a small company, but a multinational company, which is the world's top in many fields. Such a company was sued by Penglai Group, which had a huge impact in Huaxia, and netizens commented: Now we also have a patent stick. (To be continued.) )
