Chapter 69: Returning Now After a Thousand Years of Going to China (Part 2)
Since then, the GelbHalstch hermitage has been struggling under the double pressure of the Holy See and the Wizards' Guild, until the Holy See and the Wizards' Guild expedition to East Asia collapsed, only to take advantage of the situation to re-emerge, and other old-fashioned forces in Europe formed an alliance to force the palace, and finally established the International Jurists Council, but at this time the GelbHalstch Hermitage can barely be called one of the old powers in Europe, and when the Holy See was alone, single-handedly plotting the rise of Protestantism, Compared to the majesty of sweeping the top of Brocken's mountain with one hand, it was a world of difference.
And the GelbHalstch hermit was able to maintain the status of the old European powers, and it was still left by Jack Boer II, that is, the magic iron vein.
The magic iron vein was discovered by the old Jackbur people, but because the mining and smelting technology is not up to standard, it has not been able to be exploited and utilized in large quantities, until Jackbur II spent a huge amount of money to introduce relevant technical personnel from various countries, and established a large-scale underground smelting factory, and even in order to achieve a perfect smelting effect, he did not hesitate to open the cracks in the ground and introduce underground lava as a smelting fire source. Throughout his life, Jackburg II devoted himself to the development and research of magic iron. At the time of Jackbur II's death, the GelbHalstch hermit had developed a wide variety of related technologies for the mining and use of magic iron, and had extensive experience in mining special deposits of magic iron and various special companion ores.
After the death of Jackber II, his successors had neither the courage nor the skill of him, and they were all in a mess in terms of trade and finance, and the Fugue Empire, which had borrowed money from the royal family of Europe, was unable to make ends meet in just a few years, and it seemed that it had to borrow money from others to survive.
The leader of Augsburg had no choice but to show the magic iron ore that had been hidden for many years, and sell it to the major magic forces in Europe, but it also sold it well and made a lot of money.
It's just that this ore is a non-renewable resource, and after so many years in the world, only such a part has been found in the world, and some mined are less, so the first thing the Gelb Halstch Hermit did after recovering its vitality was to restrict the mining and sale of demonic iron ore.
Of course, at the beginning, the GelbHalstch hermitage wanted to completely stop the sale of magic iron ore, and only wanted to keep it for its own use, but this kind of good thing was revealed to people and sold for so many years, and it was impossible to completely stop it, so this policy was only implemented for a very short period of time before it was abolished, and it was changed to restrict mining and sale.
Even so, the veins of demonic iron ore are still drying up day by day, and the annual mining volume is declining rapidly.
Correspondingly, the application technology of magic iron is developing rapidly, and its important role in many fields, especially in the military field, is rapidly highlighted.
At present, the price of magic iron has reached a sky-high price in the international market, and it used to be sold by catties, but now it is sold by grams.
As an international magic weapon predator, Yu Chengshi Company also has a considerable demand for magic iron, and will spend a huge price to buy a certain share every year.
It can be imagined how excited Yong Bowen Company was when he found out that there was actually a vein of magic iron ore in hell, in the eyes of Yu Chengshi, Yong Bowen and others, what was buried in the ground was not black and ugly stones, but a pile of banknotes!
At the first time, Yong Bowen gathered a large number of Hell native slaves, intending to do a lot of work under the guidance of a group of experts and ghosts.
However, the conscientious experts and ghosts poured a basin of cold water on the head of the Yongda Heavenly Master.
After repeated investigation and intensive discussion, the experts concluded that this vein has a peculiar structure and is very closely entangled with the associated veins, and if the mining technology and experience mastered by the experts are mined, the ore obtained has a high content of impurities and a difference in quality, which may require a huge cost to purify.
Yong Bowen was still unwilling, and after thinking about the fact that the magic iron ore in the international market was sold, even if it needed to be re-purified, it should be able to make a lot of money, so he asked the experts to mine it and try it.
Although the experts are dedicated, they still have to obey the orders of their employers after all, so they opened equipment documents, and built mines and refining workshops, and when they were ready, they first mined a few tons of ore and refined them, but they found that the process was not good, and a few tons of ore were smelted less than ten catties of magic iron, and they contained a large number of associated mineral impurities. When it came time to purify, there was a problem again, and the current purification technology could not purify the magic iron at all, and the associated mineral impurities seemed to be integrated with the magic iron/condensation, and the known methods could not be separated.
The only one in the world who has mastered the art of mining magic iron is the Gelb Halstch hermitage.
If you want to quickly turn the discovered demonic iron ore veins into wealth, the only way is to introduce demonic iron ore mining technology, but it is obvious that the GelbHalstch hermit will never hand over its own unique technology accumulated for hundreds of years, even if they are short of money back then, they will keep these technologies as if they were their life/roots, not to mention that the current GelbHalstch hermit is still a large consortium that can be counted in the continent, and it is not bad for money at all!
To this end, Yong Bowen convened a meeting of the company's senior managers to discuss the topic of mining the magic iron ore vein, at which it was proposed to establish a joint venture with the German mining company Eden of GelbHalstch hermitage to cooperate in the mining of magic iron ore.
Before the meeting, Yong Bowen didn't have the idea of communicating with anyone - it's not right to say that it was anyone, at least Aliyun knew, but Aliyun always had only one sentence in managing these things, "Xiaowen, I support you, let it go." ”
This mention caused quite a stir at the manager's meeting.
As mentioned above, the north is the stronghold of conservatism in the entire Chinese art and magic world, and if the entire Chinese art and magic world is extremely wary of the European art and law forces, then the northern Chinese art and magic world is not only wary of the European art and law forces, but also hostile and hostile.
The Mage Association has been established for so many years, and many companies belonging to the major international magic forces have also entered China to make money, but so far, only some joint ventures have been established in the south, and there is not a single joint venture company in the entire north, that is, there are very few purely wholly-owned foreign-funded companies.
In this atmosphere, in this environment, Yong Bowen actually proposed to engage in a joint venture with the old German magic forces, and also mined the magic iron ore with heavy strategic value in the Hell Colony that involved core interests!
It's insane!
