Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute, Liu Yuanzheng reviewed the document.
The company is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things happening. Although most things are handled by the management, there are still a lot of documents coming to Liu Yuan every day. Liu Yuan has to spend half a day every day to deal with the company.
daily affairs.
"Boss, news just came from the moon. Hon Hai Mining has discovered a new gold mine on the moon, with reserves of more than 3,000 tons!"
Wan Hanrui, the president of Xinghai Mining Group, hurriedly found Liu Yuan and reported to Liu Yuan what happened on the moon.
"This is a good thing. I believe it will definitely attract more people to go to the moon for mining."
When Liu Yuan heard this, he thought about it and said.
"A good thing is a good thing, but it will also cause the price of rare earths to plummet, which will not be worthwhile at that time."
"With more people mining, the output of rare earths will definitely be many times greater than it is now, and the price of rare earths will definitely continue to fall."
"In the end, we may all suffer from this. The price of rare earths must be maintained at the current level for lunar mining to be profitable."
Wan Hanrui said: "After discussing with other managers, I feel that our company can take advantage of all the rare earth mines mined on the moon."
"Our company has mastered the most advanced rare earth refining technology and can purify rare earths. The most important thing is that our company's current funds are very large. If it is just placed in a bank account, it has no meaning and will depreciate all the time."
"We can completely use these funds to hoard scarce resources, convert this wealth into the form of resources, and also reduce the taxes paid by our company, etc."
Wan Hanrui submitted a detailed plan.
When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, and then he read the plan carefully.
For Xinghai Technology now, there are several trillions of cash reserves lying in the account, which is still a very huge capital reserve.
At the same time, each subsidiary group company of Xinghai Technology is still making wealth at a terrifying speed, and the funds in the company's account will only increase.
Having abundant cash flow is a good thing for a company, but when the cash flow reaches the level of Xinghai Technology, it is not a good thing.
If money is just placed in the bank, it will be just a string of numbers without any meaning, and it will continue to depreciate, which will easily arouse people's jealousy and cause many troubles.
Therefore, Xinghai Technology Group has been optimizing the allocation of assets. Among them, a large number of investments have been made in industries and enterprises related to aircraft manufacturing supporting equipment, and a large number of aircraft manufacturers have also been invested in.
The investment and preparation in these two areas alone cost Xinghai Technology several trillions of huge funds, but the major subsidiaries of Xinghai Technology are making money too fast.
It has only been about half a year, and the funds in the account have reached trillions. This money must be spent or invested.
The current plan of Xinghai Mining is obviously a very good proposal.
Rare earth is a strategic resource, and it is also a scarce resource. It is very light to use, has great effects, and has great value. The price has been rising all the time, because the more it is mined, the less it will be.
Now many mining companies on the moon are building rare earth mining factories. By then, the production of rare earths will double. If all of them flood into the market at once, prices will inevitably plummet.
This will only make it easier for outsiders, but our own people will not get much benefit, and after the resources are mined, they will be gone.
Now, Xinghai Technology is spending a lot of money to stockpile rare earths, purchasing the mined rare earths from everyone, refining them, and hoarding them. In this way, the price of rare earths can be stabilized and everyone's interests can be protected.
Xinghai Technology can also convert huge wealth into rare resources that can maintain value.
This kind of operation method is very common among large companies. For example, many companies have very large funds in their accounts, and it is obviously very disadvantageous to use them to pay taxes, so they will purchase a large amount of real estate, land, investments, etc.
of.
In this way, profits can be reduced, a lot less tax will be paid, and the company's wealth can be maintained, and the company can continue to appreciate and obtain investment income.
It can be said that there are many benefits.
In addition, in terms of resource investment, this is also a long-term and sustainable game. Some resources are very scarce. Use less and dig less.
When you have money, hoard these resources, keep them firmly in your own hands, and slowly release them to maximize their value.
Just like diamonds. In fact, the output of diamonds has always been very large, but its price was once very high. This is inseparable from the companies that operate masonry.
They hoarded a large amount of diamonds, then linked diamonds with love, carried out marketing and publicity, and finally speculated on diamonds.
The current hoarding of rare earths actually means the same thing. The main reason is that Xinghai Technology has technology, funds, and resources. Major mining companies are also happy to sell rare earths to Xinghai Technology, because they themselves have not mastered the refining technology, and
If you sell it to Xinghai Technology, you can get a protective price and stable income.
If everyone sells internationally, the price will plummet, making foreigners cheaper in vain.
"The plan is good, just follow the plan. Your mining group will discuss this matter with the major lunar mining companies, and negotiate related prices and so on."
After reading the plan in detail, Liu Yuan also approved the plan.
Rare earth resources are precious resources in the universe. The birth of rare metals is very difficult and the output is very small. With the development of science and technology, the role of rare metals is becoming more and more important and will gradually become more prominent.
Hoarding these rare earth resources in your hands will be of great use in the future. You must know that many intermediate and low-level cosmic civilizations have a very large demand for rare earths. They can even be used as hard currency in the universe.
"I just talked about gold mines. How is the mining of our gold mines now?"
When it comes to gold mines, Liu Yuan also thinks of his own large gold mine on the moon. This is a very huge fortune, a huge gold mine of 300,000 tons. The key is that it is easy to mine and the gold mines are concentrated in a certain small area.
Place, this is a super wealth.
"It has been mined secretly, and now it is estimated that the first batch of gold has begun to be smelted. I have kept this matter highly confidential, and all the gold mined will be stored in the Moon Palace Base in accordance with your requirements."
Wan Hanrui said quickly in a low voice, for fear of being overheard.
There is no way, after all, it involves more than 300,000 tons of gold, and it must be kept strictly confidential. After all is mined, it will be more than all the gold currently mined on the earth.
"Well, this matter must be carried out secretly, and no news can be leaked out."
Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Liu Yuan's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Lei Zheng calling. Since the last banquet to carve up lunar resources, Liu Yuan's cell phone also had many more calls from elders.
"Mr. Lei~"
"Liu Yuan, I heard that your rare earth factory has started smelting rare earths. How is the output?"
"The output is not bad. About 1,000 tons of rare earths can be produced in a day. The rare earth reserves on the moon are still very large, and mining is easy."
"About 1,000 tons of rare earths are produced per day. You have to record 10 small goals that day."
After listening to this, Lei Zheng silently calculated and said that he now has a clear grasp of the price of rare earths. With a little calculation, he can know the benefits of mining rare earths on the moon.
"Mr. Lei, how is the construction of your rare earth factory going?"
"I'm still thinking that the rare earths mined by everyone can be sold to us at Xinghai Technology. We at Xinghai Technology can refine the rare earths and maximize their value, saving foreigners money."
"This is a good thing. If you are willing to buy it, I think everyone will be willing to sell it to you. We don't have the refining technology, and if everyone sells rare earths, the price will definitely plummet."
"It saves your worries to chat with Mr. Lei. Mr. Lei must have anticipated that the price of rare earths might plummet, so he called, right?"
"It's not all about this. Do you know about the gold mine discovered by Hon Hai Mining?"
"I just heard that Lao Wang and the others have made a fortune this time. They have 3,000 tons of gold. I heard it is very rich. It is easy to get it all."
"So I'm here to buy a prospecting truck from you. Is 50 million a truck right? I want to buy a few dozen of them first to test the waters and see how it goes."
"Dozens?"
"No, no. I'll sell you a few of them at my best. This thing needs to be specially customized, and it's not like aircraft can be produced on an assembly line."
When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately shook his head. Are you kidding me? I will sell you dozens of vehicles at once. When others come to ask for them, how can I have so many lunar prospecting vehicles to sell to you?
When Hon Hai Mining discovered gold, others couldn't sit still and were restless.
In the past, when each of you heard that it cost 50 million to buy a prospecting truck, you all shook your head. Now don’t you think it’s too expensive? You just want dozens of them. What are you thinking?
"Isn't it just customized products? I'll place an order for you now and just produce more for me."
"Mr. Lei, this is really not a production problem, but a lot of people are asking me for this prospecting truck. Lao Wang, Lao Li, Lao Zhang all want it from me. How can I have so many? Five at most. Don't want it."
Forget it."
"Five cars, just five cars. Something is better than nothing. Lao Wang was really lucky this time. He discovered three thousand tons of gold in one fell swoop. All his investment was doubled, and his worth skyrocketed."
"..."
After hanging up the phone with Lei Zheng, Lao Wang immediately called back. Sure enough, like Lei Zheng, he came to ask Liu Yuan for a lunar prospecting vehicle. Now he has tasted the benefits.
3,000 tons of gold have been mined. The gold he holds in his hands is comparable to that of the national treasury.
The key is that large gold mines have been discovered one after another on the moon. God knows how many gold mines there are on the moon. As long as they can be found, it will be much better than mining rare earths.
"Old Wang, you are too greedy. You want dozens of cars at a time. Where can I get them?"
"I will give you at most 3 more cars. If you don't say anything, I will sell them to others."
After finally getting rid of Lao Wang, Liu Yuan's cheap father-in-law Dong Tianfang called again. Not only did he want a lunar prospecting vehicle, but he also wanted two more spaceships from Liu Yuan.
There is no way, this must be given, who made the company's shareholders Dong Feifei and her son Liu Yu, it is impossible not to give it.
After finally dealing with the bosses who came to him one after another for lunar prospecting vehicles, Liu Yuan also laughed.
"Everyone is jealous of this, but gold is more attractive."
"There are probably quite a lot of gold mines on the moon. If gold mines are discovered one after another, we will probably go crazy."
Looking at the phone calls one after another, no one can remain calm in the face of huge wealth. Even though none of these elders are short of money, they are still happy to make money.
"There is no way. Gold has been the most fascinating thing since ancient times. What's more, every gold mine on the moon appears to be a super large gold mine. The key is that the gold mines on the moon are concentrated and enriched.
It is very easy to mine and can be mined quickly.”
"This is still very different from the gold mines on our earth. The gold mines on our earth are difficult to mine, costly and very scattered. Although many large gold mines have huge reserves, it is too expensive to mine them out.
High, it takes a long time.”
"This moon is different. It would be strange if you don't feel excited."
Wan Hanrui smiled and replied: "If the outside world knew that our gold mine has more than 300,000 tons of gold reserves, they would probably go crazy."
"So it must be kept secret and no news can be leaked."
"Nowadays, the international community is increasingly dissatisfied with our mining on the moon. Various protests are coming one after another. The United Nations General Assembly has repeatedly proposed banning the mining of lunar resources."
"I guess after the news of the gold mine spreads, there will definitely be another wave."
Wan Hanrui thought for a while and then talked about some international things.
As time goes by, there are more and more mining bases on the moon, and more and more mining factories are built. Xinghai Mining Group has even begun to mine rare earths.
What followed was various protests and opposition.
Some environmentalists say that mining rare earths on the moon will pollute the lunar environment and should be strictly prohibited; some scientists say that mining lunar resources will seriously affect the earth's ecology and even affect the earth's tides, and must be strictly opposed and banned.
Various objections have arisen one after another. They also say that the moon is the common property of all mankind, and private lunar resource mining should be strictly prohibited, or heavy taxes should be levied on lunar mining companies, etc.
In short, this matter, driven by thoughtful people, has caused wave after wave of waves.
Of course, the main reason is that Guowai's capital is just participating in this feast of wealth. They can't even eat the crumbs of the cake. Naturally, they have to resolutely make the right move and find ways to organize it.
"Let them go their own way. They don't want to make trouble here anyway. It's up to them to make trouble themselves. It doesn't matter what happens to us. It's up to them to make trouble. Let's continue to exploit our resources."
When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately laughed. He is in charge of the sky and the earth, and even the moon. If you have the ability, when I colonize alien planets in the future, you can also run over and take care of it.
You don't care at all, and you don't need to pay attention to it, just keep going your own way.
