Chapter 394 Molybdenum Mining Plan
As Jiang Chen expected, after listening to Jiang Chen's words, Xia Shiyu fell into a daze. Le Wen Novels|【Feng\/Huang\/ Please search for quick updates】
After recovering from the sluggishness, she repeatedly asked Jiang Chen about the feasibility of that virtual online game and the difference from existing vr games. When she heard the words "full neural access" and "second life", she immediately said that she would come over in person as soon as the typhoon stopped, and then hung up the phone.
She couldn't wait to draft the operation plan of this epoch-making online game.
…
Since mining is mainly carried out in the southern waters, the headquarters of Futureman Mining is located on Anga Island. After parting with Jiang Chen last time, Yang Yuan started to make preparations for this matter. After more than half a month of busy work, the framework of this company was finally set up.
After disembarking, the special car sent by Xinghuan Trading's station on Anga Island was already waiting by the roadside. After getting in the car, Jiang Chen briefly explained the destination, and the driver started the car skillfully.
In the security business of Xinghuan Trading, it is roughly divided into military department and civilian department. The employees of the military department are all placed on Crescent Island, and the employees of the civilian department serve as bodyguards for important government officials. The temporary driver who drove Jiang Chen was Minke's bodyguard.
Rolling down the car window, Jiang Chen put his arms by the window and admired the back garden that belonged to him.
It was only a little over a month since he came to Anga Island last time, but in just over a month, this small town has undergone earth-shaking changes. Newly built apartment buildings, bungalows and commercial streets being rebuilt can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. Compared to that "fishing village" that looked like a small town, this Anjia City finally had some urban flavor.
Affected by the infrastructure construction and tourism resource development projects led by Future People International, many foreign businessmen have also sensed business opportunities and tried to catch such a high-speed train and share the dividends of the great development of Xinguo.
When passing by the city center, Jiang Chen was even surprised to find a Le supermarket that was undergoing store renovation. He vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a brand of a supermarket chain in Australia, and its main business scope was local retail. Obviously, the current retail gap in Xinguo made Le Group sense business opportunities, so they took a bold step forward and took Anga Island as their first stop to expand overseas business.
Because of the crazy land purchases by overseas businessmen, the Anjia City Government naturally made a lot of money. With ample cash, they immediately invested the money from the land sale into public facilities renovation projects. Such as road expansion, new schools and so on.
The construction of public facilities not only improves the quality of life of the people, but also provides a large number of jobs. Not only has the high unemployment rate been greatly eased, but even the shortage of labor has attracted many overseas immigrants. This originally lifeless town seemed to have been injected with a shot in the arm.
It has the vitality it deserves.
…
The sea-view cottage that Jiang Chen used as "staff dormitory" for Yang Yuan is located on the edge of Anjia City. There is only a bare road and a few rows of tall green palm trees at the entrance, and there is nothing else.
The car stopped on the side of the road and told the driver to wait for him in the car, then Jiang Chen walked towards the sea view cottage. He rang the bell on the wooden door.
Footsteps were heard, and the door was quickly opened.
When he saw his old friend Jiang Chen, Yang Yuan warmly welcomed him into the house.
"How is it? Life here." Looking around the decoration in the living room, Jiang Chen smiled and sat down on the sofa.
"It's hard to imagine. I couldn't even pay the rent when I was in Australia." Yang Yuan sighed and looked at Jiang Chen seriously, "Although it's a bit hypocritical, I still want to say it. Thank you."
"It's an old friend, thank you so much." Jiang Chen waved his hand.
If it wasn't for the downturn in the industry, just rely on Yang Yuan's resume. Living in Australia is not necessarily worse than here. After all, on this island, apart from cheap houses, it is inconvenient to do anything.
"Have you eaten? Why don't you have lunch here."
"That's why I came here. Don't worry about it?" Jiang Chen said jokingly.
"Haha, it's just about adding a pair of chopsticks, what's the trouble?" Yang Yuan also laughed.
"Champagne is here." Sophie took out two bottles of champagne from the refrigerator, put them in front of the two with a smile, and unscrewed the caps for them.
Perhaps it was because she knew there was no hope, but this time Sophie did not give Jiang Chen that frivolous feeling anymore, and Jiang Chen was also relieved.
"Thank you." Taking the full wine glass, Jiang Chen gave Sophie a friendly smile.
"You're welcome." Sophie smiled. Then he poured wine for her boyfriend, "Talk first, I'll cook."
Looking at the back of such a virtuous girlfriend, Yang Yuan showed a happy expression on his face.
"Did you lose your soul?" Jiang Chen teased.
"Hey." Yang Yuan wiped his nose shyly. Reaching out to hold the wine glass, "Damn, drink."
"I didn't realize that my sister-in-law can actually cook." Jiang Chen was really surprised at this point, no matter how you look at it, that Sophie doesn't seem like a virtuous person.
"Your sister-in-law is virtuous. I just bought a piece of tuna from a fisherman in the town yesterday. You will have a good meal later." She took a sip of her wine. Yang Yuandao.
"Fish stew?" Jiang Chen laughed.
"What kind of soup is stewed with tuna, sashimi!" Yang Yuan laughed.
Regarding this infatuated roommate, Jiang Chen sincerely hoped that he could get together with the person he loves. Although this Sophie gave him the feeling that she didn't look like a good girl, but he would never gossip about other people's feelings.
The two chatted and chatted from life to work.
As expected of a talent signed by Rio Tinto Mining Company in the first year of graduate school, Yang Yuan's work ability is indeed very strong. When it comes to work, his energy is almost comparable to that of Xia Shiyu's workaholic.
"The education rate in New Zealand is very low, and I hired technical talents from Australia. Due to the large-scale layoffs of Rio Tinto, I met many very capable people when I was studying at the University of Western Australia. The seniors are all receiving subsistence allowances now. I have consulted with them, and they don’t ask for high wages, but what they ask for is that the company provides housing in accordance with Australia’s labor protection agreement.”
"Vacation and housing are not a problem, I only ask about ability." Jiang Chen said.
Yang Yuan smiled confidently, and replied affirmatively, "They are all very capable. They are basically former employees of Rio Tinto and have rich work experience."
"How many people in total?"
"Considering that the company has not started mining business yet, I only recruited 10 people as management."
"I'm afraid it's not enough. I have an offshore mining project on hand soon." Jiang Chen shook his head.
Yang Yuan looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
"So fast?"
"The president and I have some personal friendship." Jiang Chen said cryptically.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan immediately responded to Jiang Chen with "I understand" eyes, and smiled, "No wonder the mining license came down so soon. In many countries, it may not be possible to get the license in half a year." Come down. Tell me about the mineral type, so I can prepare first, if there is a project to start soon, these 10 people will definitely not be enough."
"Molybdenum."
"Molybdenum? Has the mine been determined?" Yang Yuan frowned slightly.
Jiang Chen nodded, and took out a folded geological map from his pocket. Although I can't understand this stuff. However, he still marked the nearest molybdenum deposit to Anga Island.
Looking at the red circle on the map, Yang Yuan's frown became deeper and deeper.
"Do you know that the average depth of this deposit is 7,500 meters?" Yang Yuan asked Jiang Chen with a strange look.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.
In the reducing environment of the deep sea, molybdenum is absorbed by organic matter and wrapped in manganese-containing colloids, and finally forms nodules and sinks on the seabed, leaving the cycle of the biosphere. This marine molybdenum deposit method is undoubtedly easier to accumulate molybdenum deposits than continental deposits, but such deposits generally appear in the deep sea below 5000, and deeper deposits abound. Mining manganese nodules in this environment is simply impossible.
Although some progress has been made in the mining technology of manganese nodules as early as the 1970s, it is still in the stage of detailed investigation, evaluation and trial mining. At present, in theory, the deepest mining depth is probably the fluid excavation mining experimental system under development in Japan. Ideally, the working water depth can reach 5250. However, this technology obviously has not made a breakthrough, otherwise the devils with scarce resources would have started making dumplings like dumplings to build offshore platforms.
"You mean, it can't be mined with the existing technology?" Jiang Chen had already expected this.
"Maybe the ones in the lab are okay, just maybe." Yang Yuan smiled wryly, "Your friend of the president...couldn't be playing tricks on you?"
Indeed, in the eyes of others, Yang Yuan can't think of a better explanation for selling you a mine that can't be mined at all, other than fooling around. Other large mining companies have invested tens of millions of dollars without splashing out, let alone you, a small mining company that started from scratch. I'm afraid that mining in Qianhai is enough.
Thinking of this, Yang Yuan was also a little nervous. If the mine could not be mined, wouldn't his job be ruined? But because of the rigor of the technician and the honesty of the honest man. He can't do such a thing without pointing out such a big problem.
However, Jiang Chen did not show disappointment or even anger as he expected, but only showed a strange expression.
That kid Zhang Yaping dares to play tricks on me? Don't make trouble.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "I can solve the problem of seabed mining."
"That's 7500 meters." Yang Yuan couldn't help reminding.
"It's only 7,500 meters." Jiang Chen smiled confidently and said in an unquestionable tone.
Yang Yuan was stunned, although he wanted to use his rich experience in the industry to tell Jiang Chen that this was not realistic. But the confidence on Jiang Chen's face made him a little unpredictable.
"I will solve the seabed mining part. Your current task is to build an offshore platform directly above the target deposit to transfer resources, then buy a transport ship, and build a molybdenum ore refinery on Anga Island... Well, there is also a steel factory and an aluminum ore factory, which are used to process the iron ore shipped by the bp mining group." Jiang Chen said.
It is worthless to mine iron and aluminum ore from the seabed, and the cost of importing is still low.
"It will cost a lot of money." Yang Yuan couldn't help reminding.
"All I have is money."
Borrowed 30 billion, now Jiang Chen has plenty of money.
"...Okay." Yang Yuan took a sip from his wine glass and pursed his lips, "Since you insist, then I will do it."
While talking, Sophie's greeting came from the kitchen.
"Let's eat. Hurry up and clear the table, there are a lot of delicious food today."
"Haha, I can already smell the fragrance." Yang Yuan stood up and went to the kitchen to help his girlfriend serve the dishes.
Jiang Chen also wanted to help, but was politely held back by Sophie who was serving sashimi.
"There's no need to trouble the guests. A Yuan and I can just come." After speaking, Sophie smiled at Jiang Chen, then turned and returned to the kitchen. (To be continued.)
