Chapter 359 (2/2)
steel is the foundation of industry, even in the highly developed 22nd century.
If you want to develop industry, you can't do without raw materials. What restricts the industrial development of waste soil is the lack of raw materials. Although we can get copper, iron, aluminum and rare earth metals and other raw materials through waste recycling. However, due to the high degree of processing, this process is cumbersome and costly. This is one of the reasons why power armor is expensive. The special plastic steel covering the whole body of T-3 power armor is not cheap at all.
In the past, when I was in China, it was not realistic to buy a large number of iron ore, which was much more risky than buying grain. But now there are not so many worries. He can buy as much as he wants. No one has the right to investigate him.
The world's iron ore production is mainly controlled by the three giants. Among them, Vale, the largest company, accounted for 39%; Rio Tinto Mining Co., the second largest company, and BHP mining group, the third largest company, together accounted for 38%. The former one is too far away from South America, and the latter two are both in Australia, and there is a New Guinea between the two countries. In order to save cost, Jiang Chen chose BHP Mining Group as the cooperation object.
The flight to Melbourne is only the one at noon. Although the number of tourists to and from Panu islands has increased recently, there is still a lot of spare air tickets. Aisha easily bought the tickets.After getting off the plane in Melbourne, I still opened a room in the nearby business hotel
”nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen.” After seeing Jiang Chen, the eagle nosed Australian extended his hand warmly.
”Nice to meet you.” Jiang Chen also took his hand and shook it warmly.
Oliver, one of the directors of BHP group, is the manager of some mining development branches of SIA.
Compared with such a large company with a market value of $210 billion, futureman international is still a small ant for the time being. Of course, no one doubts the potential of this little ant, just like Microsoft did.
After a brief introduction to themselves, they soon got to the point.
”Supply 100000 tons of iron ore, 200000 tons of aluminum ore, 1000 tons of molybdenum concentrate with a taste of 45% per month...” holding the contract handed over by Jiang Chen, Oliver looked at it repeatedly, and his brow gradually frowned.
”What's the problem?” Jiang Chen asked.
”No, iron and aluminum ore are all OK. However, although this molybdenum ore is not a rare earth resource, its output has not been high, and the annual output has been basically scheduled Said Oliver helplessly.
”Well.” Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
Molybdenum is less abundant in the earth, and its content only accounts for 0.001% of the weight of the earth's crust, which has a wide range of applications. Such as microcomputers, wechat processors, offshore oil and gas pipelines, and even some agricultural fertilizers.
However, there is another big use of this device, which has not been discovered yet, that is, the neural access devices of virtual reality devices must use this device. Although in the end of the world, you can get a little by recycling waste, but if you want to mass produce thousands of tons, it is obviously impossible. So we have to find a way to do it in this world.
”In the case of molybdenum mines, I suggest you try your luck in China, which is currently the largest molybdenum producing area in the world. Our company can still provide iron and aluminum ore
”Say it again. Put aside the molybdenum ore in advance, let's talk about the price of iron and aluminum ore Jiang Chen smiles helplessly.
When he went to China to buy molybdenum concentrate, I was afraid that the Wang family would not let him buy it easily. It's too easy to get hold of mineral resources. From mining, environmental protection, transportation, to customs, with Wang's energy, as long as he has some contacts in any system, he can't do this business.
Where is the molybdenum mine easy to make? There are only two places, the South Pole and the moon.
One international convention does not allow it, and the other cannot reach it for the time being.
It seems that we can only think of another way... Jiang Chen thought to himself. (to be continued. )
