Chapter 552 Mining Investment
"The next twenty years? Lao Huo, you underestimate the speed of development of the moon too much! Lu Yang said disapprehantly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After talking about the lunar power station, Lu Yang asked Huo Sheng about the Guangming Tower plan of the Stick Country.
"After Samsung purchased 30 engineering robots, the speed of construction has tripled, and now 70% of the Guangming Tower has been built, and by February next year at the latest, the country will be able to achieve wireless power coverage." Huo Sheng came as soon as he opened his mouth, obviously very familiar with the situation.
"The execution of the stick country company is really good." Lu Yang appreciated.
"However, as far as I know, Samsung C&T only uses 28 engineering robots on the Guangming Tower, and the other 2 are unclear." Huo Sheng added.
Lu Yang smiled: "This is normal, needless to say, they must be studying the technology of those two engineering robots." ”
"So, shall we warn them?" Huo Sheng asked.
Lu Yang waved his hand: "There's no need, when I agreed to this deal, I knew that this situation would happen." Let them study, hehe......"
"Boss, what if they crack our technology?" Huo Sheng was still a little uneasy.
Lu Yang looked at Huo Sheng with bright eyes, and said slowly: "Old Huo, although I don't think that the stick country has such a technology, but in my opinion, even if they really crack the technology of engineering robots, it is not necessarily a bad thing." The four-year lead has made many Penglai people lose their enterprising spirit, and without enemies, many people seem to have no motivation! ”
Huo Sheng was slightly stunned and couldn't speak.
"Penglai Island's technological leadership is not based on the backwardness of others, but on its own advanced. We can't stop the progress of others, the only thing we can do is to make our own progress not faster than others! Technology diffusion is an unstoppable trend, and as a leading party, our products are bound to be studied. I don't want you to think that others can't crack our technology, but I hope you will put more resources into the research and development of new technologies, so that you can always maintain your advantage! ”
Lu Yang stood up and walked to the window, looked into the distance and said. Although he didn't stare at Huo Sheng when he spoke, Huo Sheng felt a huge pressure.
"I've said that more than once, just to let you know that the advancement of technology is our biggest motivation. Don't slack off because you don't have an opponent, we are our biggest opponent! ”
The Russian delegation stayed on Penglai Island for a week, and the two sides signed a series of agreements involving an investment of 120 billion yuan. Attracted by huge investments, the Russian side agreed to open the telecommunications market to Penglai Island, and as for electricity, negotiations are still continuing.
"Relations between Russia and China are deepening!"
"Russia and China have entered the honeymoon period!"
"120 billion investment may help Russia out of the economic crisis!"
"The United States should be wary of the alliance between China and Russia!"
As for this pure economic cooperation, the outside world interprets it more from a political perspective, which makes the countries concerned very helpless. However, this can also show that the outside world is vigilant about the strong rise of China. Although the agreement was signed by Penglai Island, in the eyes of the outside world, the dominant party is the Huaxia government, and Huaxia's investment in Russia on such a large scale must be to win it over and compete with the United States for hegemony.
In the end, Prime Minister Huaxia had to reaffirm Huaxia's non-aligned policy at the United Nations.
After the Russian delegation left, Chu Lei, the boss of Penglai Mining Company, took hundreds of technicians to Siberia to inspect and verify the three super-large iron mines proposed by Lu Yang.
Chu Lei was very happy to be able to get this task, before that, he was a relatively marginal figure in the Penglai Group, and the largest industry of the entire Penglai Mining Company was the deep-sea gold mine. This gold mine had some value three years ago, but after the Penglai Group's various industries flourished, its status has been greatly reduced. Coupled with Xiong Wenbo's start to seawater alchemy, Chu Lei became even more embarrassed.
Chu Lei didn't want to show his skills, but Lu Yang didn't pay attention to mining companies.
"If three super-large iron mines really exist, Penglai Mining Company will immediately become the world's top mining company!" Chu Lei sat on the plane, his heart fluctuated, and he felt that his opportunity had really come.
On the plane, the technical team of Penglai Mining Company was still nervously analyzing the data of Siberian mineral resources.
"Old Niu, you can put these things aside, it's useless." Chu Lei said to Niu Weihua, who was wearing a woolen sweater and glasses next to him. Niu Weihua is the chief technologist of Penglai Mining Company and the head of their exploration of Siberian resources.
Niu Weihua didn't raise his head: "These materials are useless, so what is useful?" Lao Maozi is very cool this time, the information provided is very comprehensive, before conducting field investigations, I have to familiarize myself with it! ”
Chu Lei smiled silently, he leaned back on the comfortable black sofa, took a bottle of red wine from the side, and poured a glass elegantly.
"Lao Niu, I didn't intend to conduct field surveys with you when I came to Siberia this time."
"And what are you here for?" Niu Weihua stopped and asked.
"To tell you the truth, the boss has found three large iron mines in Eastern Siberia, one of which is less than 200 kilometers from the Sea of Okhotsk, and I came to verify this iron mine." Chu Lei took a sip of red wine with a smug smile on his face.
Niu Weihua put down the information in his hand, and suddenly realized: "I say, you are not a person who can endure hardships, how can you run to Siberia with us this time." However, how did the boss know that there were big iron mines in Siberia? ”
"I don't know." Chu Lei shrugged, "That's not important, the important thing is that with these three large iron mines, our company is finally going to rise!" More than 5 billion tons of iron ore reserves...... I dare to tell you, in less than two years, Penglai Mining Company will be able to become the world's largest iron ore production company! ”
Niu Weihua looked at the high-spirited Chu Lei and couldn't help pouting, he was not as optimistic as Chu Lei. After thinking about it, he set his eyes on the information at hand again, compared with the information provided by the boss, Niu Weihua believed in the results of his survey.
Chu Lei and his entourage got off the plane in Vladivostok, and then headed northwest. It's almost December, and it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and Siberia is icy and snowy. And Chu Lei: The place they want to go to is deep in the mountains, and there are no roads and railways. Fortunately, the Russians brought in a few helicopters to save them from the agony of the ice and snow march.
"Lao Maozi is really enthusiastic, I also came here eight years ago to engage in resource exploration, and I didn't have this treatment at that time." Niu Weihua muttered before getting on the helicopter.
"They're giving face to the boss." Chu Lei listened and said, "Now the boss is their God of Wealth, can they not be enthusiastic?" ”
"Boss, do you think Mr. Chu can find the iron ore smoothly?" Penglai Municipal Government, Yu Hao and Lu Yang are talking about resource consumption.
"It should be fine, although the information I provided is a little brief, but the mining company has a dedicated exploration team. Such a large piece of iron ore, as long as they are not unlucky, they can find it quickly. Lu Yang said.
Yu Hao poured tea for Lu Yang and himself, took it and took a sip: "I hope they have a smooth trip, Penglai Island really needs to have its own iron mine." ”
Lu Yang asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Yu Hao put down the teacup and said: "Boss, don't you know, the steel we use now is all shipped from the mainland, although we are already trying our best to reduce costs, but counting the freight, the price is still 30% higher, reaching 4,000 yuan per ton." In recent years, steel prices have skyrocketed, and our financial pressure has increased. ”
Lu Yang really hadn't understood this situation before.
"How much steel have we consumed this year?"
"According to statistics, in the first ten months, we imported a total of 50 million tons of steel!" Yu Hao said with a restrained smile.
Lu Yang shook his head: "I didn't expect that these steels alone will cost 240 billion yuan a year." ”
Yu Hao suddenly smiled: "Speaking of which, I went back to China for a meeting last month, and the leaders of those major steel-producing provinces met me, as if they had seen relatives, and the reason was here." We have a large demand for steel in Penglai Island, and we are happy to give money, can those people not scold me? ”
"This is my negligence, old Yu, haven't you considered building a steel plant in China?" Lu Yang asked.
"I have considered that building a steel plant by itself may not save much money. The most fundamental reason for the rise in steel prices is the rise in iron ore prices, which is driven by international mining companies. If we want to break the game, we must have the pricing power of international iron ore, and this requires sufficient iron ore reserves. Yu Hao said slowly.
"So, you see the iron ore mines of Siberia as an opportunity?"
"Not bad. According to what you said, these three large iron ore mines have a total reserve of more than 5 billion tons, and with our mining technology, it should not be a problem to mine 100 million tons per year, right? ”
"There is no problem at all, we are engineering robot mining, the efficiency is not comparable to manpower, as long as the equipment is in place, the mining volume of 100 million tons of three iron ores is not much!" Lu Yang affirmed.
BHP Billiton only mined 200 million tonnes of iron ore a year, which is enough to make Penglai one of the world's largest iron ore suppliers. However, if we want to compete with international mining companies for pricing power, we must not rely on us alone, and we must unite with China's iron and steel companies. In any case, with these three major iron mines, the steel demand of Penglai Island can at least be guaranteed. ”
Lu Yang nodded silently, he was wondering if he should invest more in Penglai Mining Company and let them buy more mines. Although he doesn't expect this to make money, doing so is a good thing for both Huaxia and Penglai Island. At least, we won't let Western companies take advantage of us. (To be continued.) )
