Chapter 507 For Example, Mature Deep Sea Mining Technology

Glossy suit and leather shoes, slightly reflective forehead. The smooth face is full of wrinkles, but the smile is not annoying.

As for the woman standing beside him, she had wavy blond hair, and her dark evening dress set off her beautiful figure, which formed a sharp contrast with the man's bald head and beer belly.

"May I ask who you are?" Jiang Chen looked at him and asked suspiciously.

"Luke Joyce, speaking of which, we are still partners." Luke raised his wine glass with a smile, and clinked glasses with Jiang Chen.

Partner?

For a while, Jiang Chen really didn't remember that he had this partner.

But Luke was keenly aware of the confusion in Jiang Chen's eyes, and added with a smile.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang Chen doesn't like to study the shareholder composition of partners. BHP Mining Group, I am one of its shareholders."

Earlier, Future People Group and BHP Mining Group signed an import agreement for iron ore and aluminum ore. Although later, due to the establishment of Futureman Mining by Futureman Group, there was a huge technological breakthrough in seabed mining technology. The manganese nodules mined from the seabed solved the iron ore demand of Futureman Group, so the iron mine with BHP Group was terminated. Stone Agreement. But in terms of aluminum ore, Future People Group still relies on imports from BHP Group.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately showed a dazed expression.

"It turned out to be Mr. Luke, sorry, sorry."

Not caring that Jiang Chen didn't recognize him, Luke smiled and continued to introduce his female companion to Jiang Chen.

"This is my daughter, Melita Joyce."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen, I'm a big fan of future technology." Melita stretched out her hand with a smile.

Although slightly surprised, Jiang Chen didn't show it on his face, he just held her hand politely and greeted her with a smile. "Hi, Miss Melita. It's a great honor that Futureman Technology can satisfy you."

How should I put it, Jiang Chen's shock at the moment was no less than someone pointing at an orc and an elf at the same time, and telling him with a serious face that they are actually father and daughter.

"Haha. My daughter is full of curiosity about your legendary experience. If you have the opportunity, you young people can talk more." Luke frowned at Jiang Chen and said in a relaxed tone.

heard that,

Jiang Chen couldn't hear the hint in Luke's words. It's just that he started to matchmaking for his daughter after just a few words, which really made him a little ashamed.

Unfortunately, however. Jiang Chen was not interested in his daughter.

"There is no legendary experience, it's just luck." Jiang Chen said modestly.

Although it is just a humble remark, it is actually true to say so. If it weren't for the ability to travel through time, he believed that it was really impossible for him to have the current status.

"Please don't say that, Mr. Jiang Chen. This will make 7 billion people feel frustrated, because here is a lucky person who can be nominated by Forbes' wealth list." Bright red lips were slightly pursed, and Melita smiled road.

Jiang Chen made a gesture of spreading his hands to express his helplessness that no one would believe what he said was clearly the truth. However, in the eyes of Luke and his daughter, this gesture turned into self-mockery to ease the atmosphere.

After some pleasantries. Maybe because she sensed that Jiang Chen was not interested in her, Melita said goodbye to Jiang Chen very politely, leaving time for the two who were about to talk about serious business, and walked to other circles. Luke wasn't surprised to leave with his daughter. Obviously, he also saw that Jiang Chen didn't have any intentions in this regard, so he didn't force anything, but continued to chat with Jiang Chen vividly.

This Luke was very chatty, and the two talked about everything from sailing to golf. But most of the time, it was Jiang Chen who was listening, because he didn't have much research on sailing or golf, so it was hard to pretend to understand at this time.

But in the end. The topic returned to business.

"Speaking of which, why does Mr. Jiang keep holding his shares so tightly? If Future Group is listed on Nasdaq, you will undoubtedly become the richest person in the world." Luke said with emotion.

"Because I'm optimistic about the future of the Future Group. I believe it will bring me far more wealth than just going public." Jiang Chen teased.

"But if we cooperate with other like-minded people, wouldn't we be able to develop faster?" Luke laughed.

"Does Mr. Luke think that my future group is developing very slowly?" Jiang Chen asked jokingly.

Luke froze for a moment, then laughed.

"It's true. Mr. Jiang's company has not even experienced a shortage of funds so far. It is really admirable."

"I'm overwhelmed." Jiang Chen said modestly.

"Can I ask a question?" He handed the empty wine glass to the waiter at the venue. Luke puts on a glass

"Of course, if I can answer." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Whether it's Future Man 1.0 or the current 'Phantom' helmet, your company can always come up with good things that are favored by the market. There is also that nutritional supplement, as well as seabed mining technology... I don't know what field you plan to enter next What is it?" Luke asked.

"Maybe in-depth development in the field of virtual reality, or investing in space manned spaceflight, because I am very interested in space... why do you ask this?" Jiang Chen asked in a relaxed tone.

"To avoid accidentally becoming your competitor." Luke shrugged helplessly, looked at Jiang Chen and teased, "Because of your company's virtual reality project, the Nasdaq board is full of ghosts and wolves. Listed companies related to the production of virtual reality equipment have fallen from the cloud to the bottom, and almost all investors who have come into contact with the "Phantom" helmet through Internet cafes have no doubt that their investment in virtual reality projects has been in vain. Especially When some Harvard professor came out and said this is a technology that won't be implemented in 20 years..."

Not to mention 20 years, on the timeline of the end of the world, the first immersive virtual reality device appeared almost in 2050.

"I'm really sorry." Jiang Chen smiled without sincerity.

"Haha, don't apologize to me. I have never invested chips in the frontier of technology. In terms of investment philosophy, Carmen and I are consistent." Luke said teasingly.

After a pause, he took a sip of champagne, and then asked.

"I don't know what Mr. Jiang Chen thinks about the resource industry?"

"Supply exceeds demand."

"That's right," Luke nodded with a smile, "Just two days ago, BHP Group disposed of two loss-making iron mines in Mexico, but all shareholders including me know that this The practice is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. The iron ore business is getting more and more difficult to do, not even just steel, other resources besides rare earths are more or less facing the same downward trend.”

"Oh, really?" Jiang Chen thoughtfully.

"Of course, after all, the market demand is limited. Taking the rebar used in the construction field as an example, most people will only own one house in their lifetime, but the life of the house is much longer than their owners. So even if we These businessmen who have already occupied a dominant position in the resource industry have to be patient and spend part of their money to support some... well, industries that may give birth to new things. For example, the Rothschild family bought shares in Daimler Group, invested A bottomless pit of new energy vehicle projects. Another example is to lend 30 billion US dollars to a promising high-tech company without asking about investment projects.”

"It is very easy to get ore up from the ground. Take my old friend Rothschild family as an example. The Vale company they hold is the largest iron ore supplier in the world, with 4 billion tons of iron ore reserves. It can be maintained for nearly 400 years. This is only based on public data." Speaking of this, Luke paused and looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully.

"If at this juncture, there is a technology that can reduce the cost of mining and bring the previously unexploitable mineral deposits into the mineable range, what impact do you think this will have on the already depressed resource mining industry?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen has more or less guessed why Luke came to find him, or why Carmen brought him here and arranged for him to meet him.

"You mean, some technologies are too advanced?" Jiang Chen thought.

"Right." Luke nodded.

"for example?"

"For example, mature deep-sea mining technology."

Jiang Chen's pupils shrank slightly. (To be continued.) () "I Have a Suite in the End Times" only represents the opinion of the author Chenxing LL.
