"Coordinates: Giant Copper and Cobalt Mine in Congo, Africa"
"Mineral deposit type: top copper and cobalt metal."
"Amount: 8 million tons of copper and 1 million tons of cobalt."
"This is the largest undeveloped copper and cobalt deposit in the world."
I'm going! I'm going to make a fortune!
Jiang Siming was pleasantly surprised. The Carlin-type gold mine in Guizhou had already made him a windfall.
At that time, 00 tons of Carlin-type gold mines were worth more than 0 billion soft sister coins.
Now, there are 8 million tons of copper ore and 000 million tons of cobalt ore.
Please understand, this is not 800 tons, but 8 million tons!
After getting the mineral detector before, Jiang Siming went out of his way to check a lot of information and values about various ores and metals.
Let’s talk about copper ore first. Generally, copper ore needs to be refined. About seven tons of copper ore can refine one ton of copper.
8 million tons of copper ore equals 4 million tons of copper.
One ton of copper is worth approximately 50,000 RMB.
Then the value of these 4 million tons of copper is about 00 billion soft sister coins!
This is not the most valuable thing. What surprised Jiang Siming the most was these million tons of cobalt ore!
Cobalt is a metal with stable properties and high melting point. It is the basic material for manufacturing high-quality alloys such as heat-resistant alloys, cemented carbide, and anti-corrosion alloys.
And it is widely used in aviation and machinery manufacturing industries. It is a strategic material with a very high status.
Let's put it this way, this stuff is very expensive. And it's very scarce. In a place as big as China, the amount of cobalt is less than 100,000 tons, so you know how rare it is.
Million tons, that will be a treasure coveted by all the powerful countries in the world!
The value of one ton of cobalt is around 00,000 Ruanmei coins, and it is rising every year.
One million tons is 900 billion!
The total value of this mineral deposit is in the trillions!
And this thing cannot be measured in terms of money, it is a strategic resource, and whoever has it will be awesome.
Jiang Siming almost laughed out loud, but he quickly came to his senses.
This mineral deposit is in Congo, Africa...
How could he get the mining rights? If it were in China, it would be okay, but in Africa, he doesn't have any connections or connections.
Why should the Congolese people allow them to mine such an important mine?
The only way is to cooperate with the Chinese authorities first.
After all, Jiang Siming cannot handle such a large mine by himself, and the Congo side is relatively chaotic, with mercenaries and fighting everywhere.
Without a big backer, the lives of the mining crews sent by him would not be guaranteed.
But it would be much safer if our Chinese military was covering it.
Jiang Siming asked Daidai and Tuantuan to watch TV by themselves for the time being, while he immediately ran upstairs and called the old man Tianzhu.
I told him about this matter, but the old man from Tianzhu said that it was not his responsibility and asked him to find No. 1.
Jiang Siming wondered if it was a bit too abrupt and disturbing for him to call No. 1 like this. After all, No. 1 had many things to do every day.
I tentatively made a call, and the guard at No. 1 answered the call first. After I explained my identity, the guard said that I had to ask No. 1 first.
Unexpectedly, Number 1 picked up the call soon.
Lao Jiang secretly rejoiced that he was still very good.
I reported the matter to No. 1 truthfully, and No. 1 was very interested in hearing it.
"Xiao Jiang, if this is true, you have made a great contribution to GJ."
Jiang Siming said with a smile: "I actually want to find a backer for myself."
"Hahaha, I like your frankness. If it happens, I don't want you to share it, but you have to sell all these copper and cobalt to us. Can you do that?"
"No problem!" Jiang Siming agreed readily. He was just selling it for money. If he sold it to any country, why not sell it to his own country?
"Okay, I'll let the professional department contact you. I have a meeting right now, so let's not talk about it for now. If I have time, come to Kyoto and I'll treat you to dinner."
"Okay." Jiang Siming happily hung up the phone and took a look, what is your rank, do you understand?
Soon, a call came from the Minister of Energy.
Jiang Siming briefly communicated with the other party. They were very cooperative and took the initiative to take risks.
There happened to be Chinese mining workers over there in the Congo, and the minister said that they should first go to the place mentioned by Jiang Siming to explore.
When the detection results come out, we will immediately contact the Congolese government to obtain the mining rights.
The results came out within two days. After testing, the staff there confirmed that there was a giant copper-cobalt mine there.
The minister was also very happy and immediately contacted the Congolese government to get the mining rights.
But the trouble is that Congo is suffering from a locust plague and has no time to take care of this matter. We can only postpone it for the time being and wait until the locust problem is solved before discussing the mining rights.
This doesn't matter, but the key point is that Japan happened to follow the Chinese personnel who went to explore the mineral deposits, and secretly discovered the Tonggu Mine.
This is troublesome. Japan is bound to get this Tonggu Mine.
Both sides are waiting for the locust disaster to end. Once it ends, the two sides will have to compete for the mining rights of the Tonggu Mine.
What the minister meant was to ask Jiang Siming if he would choose to cooperate with Japan and mine together?
Jiang Siming refused without thinking. What a joke. The mineral deposits I detected were discovered by these little Japanese tricks and tracking.
Do you want to cooperate? Bah! There is no way.
But Jiang Siming didn't agree, so he could only wait. In the end, he got the Congolese government's will and gave it to whomever it said it would.
No way, who told the mineral deposits to be discovered there?
Isn’t Congo being attacked by a locust plague that has never happened in a century? If we mass-produce pesticides now and give them to the Congolese government for free, we can drive away the locusts for them.
In this way, it is equivalent to making the Congolese government owe itself a favor.
After all, they are almost running out of food and people are starving to death. Do they still care about the mineral deposits?
As soon as Jiang Siming and the minister worked together, the minister cooperated unconditionally and gave Jiang Siming free use of a large pesticide manufacturing factory to start full-scale production of this special insecticide.
Because the production of this insecticide is very simple, with the entire factory working day and night, millions of boxes of the special insecticide were shipped to Congo and various places in Africa suffering from locust plagues.
Free gift, no charge.
The total production cost of these millions of boxes is less than one billion, but they meet the needs of locust eradication throughout Africa.
People in Africa used this insecticide and were surprised to find that it was extremely lethal to locusts!
Almost one bottle can eliminate locusts in a village! After using this pesticide in many villages, the locusts were completely wiped out overnight.
When I woke up the next day, the banker's field was full of locust corpses. These corpses became the best fertilizer for the banker's soil.
Moreover, this insecticide does no harm to farmers and will not damage the environment. (To be continued)
