Chapter 508 (2/2)

”Five years? May I ask about the amount of supply? ”

”It's up to you.” Sipping the champagne gracefully, Luke said generously.

Hearing this sentence, Jiang chendi's mouth raised a faint smile.”80 million tons.”

Hearing Jiang Chen's figures, Luke almost didn't blow out the champagne he drank.

”80 million tons, does Mr. Jiang have a concept of the figure he gave? I'm not kidding. Even if all the steel mills in Singapore have been running continuously for 50 years, I'm afraid they will not be able to handle all these iron ores. ”

In 15 years, China's annual iron ore import volume was almost 950 million tons, while the land area of new China was less than half of China's provinces. Not to mention five years, even if it is 15 years, it is absolutely impossible not to eat so much iron ore!

In the eyes of outsiders.

”There's no need for you to worry about it. Future people group naturally has projects to digest these resources. By the way, the 80 million tons are the total amount of iron, aluminum, copper, nickel and other ores, not just iron ore. Of course, iron ore must account for the majority of the 80 million tons of ore, accounting for at least 75% Jiang Chen smiles.

Frowning, Luke hesitated for a moment and nodded.

”Up to 50 million tons, and you have to guarantee that the ore that I provide you at the cost price will not be allowed to put it on the international market, which will be written into the contract.”

”No problem. But I have to say in advance that we may build a plant in neighboring Papua New Guinea to process the ore and then transport it back to the new country. ” Jiang Chen reminds way.

Jiang Chen plans to transfer to neighboring countries as much as possible because of the shortage of labor resources in the new country, which has high pollution and large demand for labor. As a developing country, New Guinea is undoubtedly a good choice, as well as the burgeoning Moro state.

After thinking for a moment, Luke finally nodded.

”No problem.”

”In addition, molybdenum, uranium and rare earth resources are not within the scope of the agreement.” Jiang Chen continued to propose.

”No problem. The molybdenum and rare earth markets are basically controlled by the Chinese side, which has nothing to do with us By the way, is it technically feasible to mine uranium from the seabed? ” There was an expression of interest on Luke's face.

”We can't do it now, but it doesn't mean we won't be able to do it in the future. Maybe we can make a breakthrough in technology in five years, which is not good.” Jiang Chen said ambiguously.

”Is it? That's a surprise. If you have no other objection, I'm glad we have reached an agreement. ” Luke raised his glass with a smile.

”Wish us a happy cooperation.” Jiang Chen also raised his glass with a mysterious smile on his face.

With the sound of clinking glasses, the business worth 10 billion dollars has finally settled down. There were satisfied smiles on the faces of both parties, and it was obvious that both parties had got the results they wanted.

Luke has got the promise that future mining will not bring deep-sea mining technology into the global mining market. Although the 50 million tons of ore will not make money, it will not let BHP group lose money. With the current market, it is very good to be able to maintain no loss performance without reducing production. On the surface, it seems that BHP group is ”free to work” for the future group, but from another perspective, it can not help solve the excess capacity of BHP group.

As for Jiang Chen, the benefits are obvious. 50 million tons of ore was obtained at the floor price, which is very important for futuren group to build floating city on the sea, base station at the bottom of space elevator and large-scale habitable space station in the near future.

It won't be five years before Luke will regret the contract he signed tonight.

Resource overcapacity is always only relative to the present.

The only thing that makes Jiang Chen puzzled is why Luke can be so confident in judging the cost and output of mining in the future. And he did not show any indifference to the acquisition intention in the face of deep-sea mining technology.

Looking at the glass in his hand, Jiang Chen fell into meditation. (to be continued. )
