His series of questions immediately made everyone think deeply, and he felt that what he said made sense.

"I have thought about Mr. Xin's question, too." Sheng Wenyan quickly responded to his question and said: "Hongxin Group is also interested in cooperating with us to develop mineral business in Africa. If we are willing to inject Hongxin Capital, this cooperation will be sure."

"What, capital injection?" Xin Zhe immediately questioned, "Our Guangtu Mining internal structure has been stable. I don't think it is suitable for the moment, and there is no need to accept other capital injections!"

Capital injection is a big thing, which means that Hongxin Group wants to control a certain proportion of Guangtu Mining shares and has some voice.

This is inevitable for Lu Zixin. Every company or group he cooperates with must have a certain voice, so as to ensure that his technology and interests will not become his competitors.

But for Guangtu Mining Group, they are not short of money! Guangtu Mining Group's revenue in China reaches tens of billions every year alone, and they have invested in many companies themselves, so they are very vigilant in the injection of foreign capital, not to mention that the other party is a relatively strong group.

"I don't agree either." Another vice president spoke, supporting Xin Zhe's view.

"This is just a proposal. If you have any ideas, you can discuss and propose it. But it is not a voting decision now." Sheng Wenyan said, "When the matter in Nigeria is resolved, we will decide on this matter. Now, if others have nothing to do, we can leave."

No one spoke, Sheng Wenyan walked out of the conference room alone.

Xin Zhe was still sitting quietly, his eyes swept across everyone. Judging from the performance of everyone today, Sheng Wenyan's approval rating dropped again. As long as the problem in Nigeria appears, it must be the time for him to take office.

"If you want to join Hongxin Group and gain a foothold, the board of directors will definitely not agree." Xin Zhe was full of confidence.

...

Iron ore mined by Guangtu Mining Group, Kaduna State, Nigeria.

This iron ore is a rich iron ore with a very high iron ore content ratio and can be used after a slight refinement. Guangtu Mining Group once conducted detailed exploration in this area and paid a huge price to obtain the mining rights here.

It is expected that they will be able to make a profit after several years of mining. However, the recent political turmoil in Nigeria and the news of new policies has been heard, which puts Guangtu Mining under tremendous pressure.

"Hey, the company has tripled its production target at once, and it is impossible to complete it even if it works overtime!" Lin Zhiyuan, the head of the mine, sighed.

"The company does this to reduce risks. Remember last year, the mineral in South Africa caused us to suffer heavy losses due to local armed conflicts. In those days, Mr. Sheng turned white. This time he encountered this problem again, Mr. Sheng did not have to be under pressure." His colleague comforted.

"That's right, but doing so can't make up for anything. The workers already have complaints and are very dissatisfied. I think there will still be problems if this continues. Now, I can only act according to the command, hoping that there will be no trouble." Lin Zhiyuan is not optimistic about the prospects of minerals. If there are heavy losses here, as a general under Sheng Wenyan, he will probably decline with Sheng Wenyan's position in the group.

He was only forty years old, and he was in his prime and did not want to suffer a Waterloo in his career.

"A few days ago, didn't Mr. Sheng say that we would cooperate with Hongxin Group. At that time, intelligent machines and systems will come to improve our efficiency by more than five times!"

"I hope that's it. But there are really those technologies and things that people in Europe and America have used them a long time ago, and they are still our turn?" Lin Zhiyuan was a little pessimistic, "Don't rely on those too much, just do our best."

...

Kaduna State, in the central city of the state, in a European-style luxury building, several British people and several Nigerian officials were chatting and laughing.

"Mr. Esmidala, our Billiton is very sincere in helping the local mineral industry in Nigeria. We believe you have received our respect." said a high-necked British man, one of the top executives of Billiton Mining in Australia, named Joyce.

Australia's Billiton Mining Company is one of the world's top mineral groups. It was founded in the mid-19th century and has a long history. In the world's mineral trade, Billiton Mining Company occupies a huge share, and only the American mining giants can compete with it.

Although Billiton Mining Company is registered in Australia, Australia was once a British colony and is now one of the countries in the Commonwealth. The main assets that control Billiton Mining Company also come from large consortiums in the UK.

In recent years, with the rise of the African mineral market, these mineral giants have turned their attention to the African market and returned strongly.

"Mr. Joyce is so polite. We like your gifts very much!" Acemidala responded with a smile. He is an important official in the Nigerian land and resources department, with a mixed European and African race, so his skin is not as dark as other black people.

Like many Nigerian officials, he has learned to imitate European culture since he was a child and has been very enthusiastic and friendly to Europeans.

Joyce smiled and said, "Then please ask your party to solve the iron ore problem as soon as possible. Our Billiton Mining Company will definitely mine according to Nigeria's mineral mining method, which will also bring greater profits to your country."

The mineral he refers to is where Guangtu Mining is mining now. Originally, Billiton Mining Company did not like this in terms of an iron ore, and even used some means.

But they found that it was not just an iron ore. They caught up with the good opportunity for Nigeria's policy changes. Fortunately, they used their resources and strength to take over the current mines of Guangtu Mining.

They paid great benefits to Nigerian officials such as Esmidala, which was enough to help Billiton Mining Company speak.

As long as you successfully get the mine, these benefits will be small.

Another African official next to Esmidala smiled and said, "Don't worry. Mr. xx, who will take office next year, also appreciates your company's courage. Guangtu Mining Group ignores the rights and interests of our own laborers and destroys the ecological environment. As long as we wait for the election next year, our Ministry of Land and Resources will be able to recover their mining rights! Leave it to a more trusted enterprise to be responsible for mining."

Even if they want to regain the mining rights of Guangtu Mining, they cannot act arbitrarily and must find reasons and excuses. Otherwise, the leaders above will not allow it, which will also undermine international investors' confidence in their country's mineral resources investment.
