It took less than 100,000 yuan to easily buy these geological data, which are no longer secrets, and through the hands of Li Nanxin, the president of the "Oriental Times", they took the same means as before to buy personal computers, and after some twists and turns, they were mailed to China.

Of course, none of these things are the point in Zhong Bai's opinion.

Because in the current situation, the most important point in the development of new bauxite mines is......

What are the remaining areas with undiscovered storage sites?

It's actually quite difficult, and it can't be done in a day or two.

But for Zhong Bai who crossed over, this happened to be not difficult!

He clearly remembers that in his previous life, the world's bauxite reserves were about 1 billion tons in 1945, increased to 3 billion tons in 1955, increased to 6 billion tons in 1965, increased the most in the 70s, and reached a peak of 21 billion tons in 1985.

In the following 20 years, the world's bauxite reserves have barely increased or the growth has slowed down significantly, mainly because since 1985, the world has basically not carried out large-scale bauxite exploration activities, and countries have invested very little in the exploration of bauxite resources.

It is now 1982, just in time for the last wave of bauxite exploration activities in countries around the world, and Zhong Bai has a very clear memory of this time node.

From the previous life to 2020, Greece has proved a total of 600 million tons of bauxite reserves, of which nearly 100 million tons were discovered in 1982~1984!

The 100 million tonnes of unproven reserves are mainly distributed in two regions – the Panas region near the D.D Mining Company and the West Athens-Aegean coast near the Elesis Mining Company.

Judging from the level of Professor Cui Zhenchuan's exploration of granite veins in Heyuan City last time, it is obvious that he and his team are capable enough.

Even if the Greek bauxite that he wants to explore now is completely unfamiliar, Zhong Bai has enough reason to believe that as long as the geological information he focuses on providing is the above two areas, with Cui Zhenchuan's ability, he will soon be able to explore enough reserves of bauxite veins in these two areas!

"I recommend that you spend more time in the two areas of Parnas and West Athens-Aegean coast." Zhong Bai reminded as vaguely as possible: "The bauxite in central Greece is mainly distributed in scattered forms, and after more than 70 years of mining, the exploration value is not large, and the above two areas are new, and the data also show that there are invisible continuous vein characteristics. Once you're there, you might as well work on both of them. ”

"Thank you, Xiao Zhong, for the reminder." Cui Zhenchuan nodded while looking through the information.

He was very surprised in his heart, because from the preliminary records, there was indeed this trend that Zhong Bai said!

If the above professional prediction was said by an older comrade in the Ministry of Geology, Cui Zhenchuan would not be too surprised.

But these words were told to him by a young section chief of an industrial mouth!

Geological exploration is not an industry that comes casually!

In addition to admiring and feeling that the other party is a genius, Cui Zhenchuan seems to find no other reason to convince himself.

But what does it matter?

As long as a sufficient amount of bauxite can be explored in Greece, it will be a strong stroke for yourself, your team, the Ministry of Geology, and even the future of geological exploration in China!

And he still remembers that Deputy Director Alden, who signed the guarantee agreement at that time, seems to be faintly hinting that if the exploration is successful, it will also trigger changes in other industries!

Cui Zhenchuan didn't ask in detail what the specific change was, but judging from Alden's attitude of respecting Zhong Bai all the time, he must have nothing to do with the other party.

"You can read these materials slowly, and you can take them on the plane." Zhong Bai saw that Cui Zhenchuan had been looking down at the urgency of the information, and said casually: "It may take about ten to fifteen days to stay in Greece, and I hope you and your team can achieve fruitful results in this half a month." Well, I won't bother you with your work here. ”

Cui Zhenchuan immediately got up when he heard this, stretched out his hand and shook Zhong Bai tightly, and said, "Xiao Zhong, thank you!" ”

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture." Zhong Bai smiled and said goodbye to the other party.

……

This time was naturally carefully predicted by Zhong Bai.

Because the rare earth senior talent training course he participated in will start tomorrow at Beijing University, that is, on November 5, and last for half a month.

On the afternoon of the 4th, Zhong Bai was not idle, since he arrived in the capital, and he did not go to the ministry to report his work, then the first stop to be idle was naturally to visit his sister Zhong Ting at Huaqing University first, and by the way, he had to find Bi Yinghua, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, to get the scholarship that was not completed last time.

Unfortunately, because Zhong Ting had two consecutive classes in the afternoon, she was not free until half past five after school, so in order not to disturb her sister's study, Zhong Bai still chose to find Bi Yinghua first.

Familiar office, familiar people, the only difference compared to the last time we met, the only difference is that the heating in the office has been turned on, and the time has changed from summer to early winter.

This time when he came to find Bi Yinghua, Zhong Bai did not go through the teacher Yuan Jianguo in advance, but came in with such a loud horn.

"Director Bi, hello." Zhong Bai pushed open the door, and when he saw that there was no one else, he walked directly to the other party's desk and sat down by himself.

The look of surprise on Bi Yinghua's face was beyond words, but he quickly regained his composure, nodded and said, "It's Xiao Zhong, sit, sit!" I have been very concerned about the development of Baifeng Group, recently I heard that they ushered in a delegation from the Swiss Ministry of Industry to the following subsidiary Huaxi Machinery Factory, it seems that the group is developing very well! ”

Compared with the last meeting with some frustration, Zhong Bai heard a completely different tone from the other party's mouth, and a feeling of "Look, you still have to rely on the facts to speak" spontaneously arises.

Bi Yinghua last time, whether it was tone or thoughts, was not optimistic about Baifeng Group at all.

But this time is different, not to mention that the recent visit of Director Luca to Huaxi Machinery Factory has made Jiang Xinpeng ask for a lot of preferential policies from the local area, just talking about the overwhelming all-round reports on the establishment of Baifeng Group, Zhong Bai knew that it was impossible for Bi Yinghua, who was far away in the capital, not to notice them.

I have to say that for Bi Yinghua, who was a little arrogant before, when he saw the reports of domestic newspapers, he didn't think that Baifeng Group had much prospect - after all, in the past few years of reform and opening up, there have been many such news in coastal Hujiang and Guangzhou, but most of them have fallen silent.

But this time is different, with the well-known foreign media "Rome Herald", "Washington Post" and other follow-up reports, the image of a private enterprise group with strong national patriotic feelings jumped on the paper, especially Yu Dongfeng's bold words behind it, which shocked these foreign media, because there has never been a newly established Huaguo private enterprise group dared to make such a high-profile statement, and a large number of officials from all levels and departments attended the inauguration ceremony, these unusual signs made Bi Yinghua realize... …

Baifeng Group may really be as promising as Zhong Bai said!
