Chapter 830 Good News
Jiang Feng felt that although Mongolian officials were very corrupt and had a very dark heart, their investment here was much smaller. The reason was that Mongolia had not formed a complete set of investment systems, especially inadequate experience in natural resource development.
I just come over to make a fortune when they don’t understand anything. Once the other party reacts, the threshold for entering this market will be much higher. Even if it is a little simpler, they will directly increase the tax rate by dozens of percentage points, which will make people unprofitable.
Of course, that is a rather sloppy approach. If they really have to do that, it will cause public outrage. They don’t mind using their rights to cut off their daily necessities and let them eat meat every day and not eat vegetables if they have the ability.
In short, as an inland country surrounded by other countries and without a seaport, it is really difficult for Mongolia to develop. Unless it is protected by China or one of the major powers of Russia, it will be difficult to get rid of the embarrassing situation now.
Jiang Feng returned to China at the end of December. At the same time, the large-scale drilling equipment he purchased from Australia also arrived in Mongolia and began large-scale in-depth exploration.
In general exploration, subject to the energy of the drilling rig, the deepest can only be drilled to about 1,500 meters. The ore veins in some areas of Mongolia are buried very deep. For example, when drilling to a depth of 800 meters in the northern mining area, no valuable ore has been found. When drilling to a depth of 1,200 to 1,400 meters, valuable ore is found.
In order to explore deep reserves and figure out the reserves of the mines on the territory he designated, Jiang Feng specially purchased one of the world's largest i**p drilling rigs from Australia. This drilling rig proved that copper and gold mines can drill 3,000 meters deep. There are only two large drilling rigs in the world, and the other is for oil exploration in the United States. The drilling rig weighs 76 tons. Jiang's consortium airlifted from the United States to Ulaanbaatar by a large transport aircraft, and then transported to the mining area with a high-power trailer for assembly.
With such large equipment, the company's exploration progressed very quickly. By early February 2008, the results of exploration at several important locations had been found, and the most important large copper-gold mixed vein was found. The research report jointly produced by the company and the exploration team experts said that the mine's gold reserves reached 500 tons and copper reserves could reach 10 million tons. According to the distribution of the mine area, it was divided into four mining areas, including the Oyuntaolege Central Mine Area, the Southwest Mine Area, and the South Mine Area, and the total length of the mine veins exceeded kilometers.
At the same time, experts believe that according to the conventional law, there should be several mining areas within a range of 100 kilometers. They are increasing their exploration efforts in order to find all large mineral veins within this year.
At the same time, the exploration team also found two large coal mines and an oil and gas field, both of which are of great mining value.
After receiving these news, Jiang Feng was in a very good mood. His luck was indeed very good during this period. It can be said that he had to be windy and rainy. Copper and coal mines are one of the most important strategic resources in the international market. Oil and natural gas are naturally no exception. This time the matter was done very well. The most important point is that this mining area is very close to the country. It is convenient to transport. If large-scale automated mining equipment is used to mine continuously during the night, these resources must be emptied during the contract period.
As for the iron ore that Jiang Feng has always been concerned about, he has not been found yet. However, Jiang Feng is sure that the large iron ore is within the area he has designated. As for the specific location, it is unknown, so he has to let the exploration team work harder.
But this is certain if you think that the exploration can be completed within 2008. It is estimated that the Mongols should be crying at that time. The exploration fee of the 40,000 square kilometers of mining area was only paid for 2 million US dollars, which was nothing like giving it for free.
However, Jiang Feng thought in his heart that when I mine, you will feel even more stunned. How did Americans dig coal in China? Today I dig gold in Mongolia. This is called digging east wall to repair the west wall.
Some domestic media have some incomprehension about the Jiang family's mining group in Mongolia. Most people think that there are so many minerals in China, so why spend that money abroad? To be smaller, he is unwilling to support the construction of his hometown, and to be larger, he is unpatriotic.
Jiang Feng was really speechless about this argument, but it cannot be blamed on the people in China. After all, there were problems with the propaganda direction in the past. The lack of resources in China was the actual situation, and the low grade of ore was also an indisputable fact. However, ordinary people did not know this, and those who knew this were unwilling to say it for some reasons. This caused the arrogance of the Celestial Kingdom and believed that there was no need to go to those wild places for development. It was simply giving money to the Mongols.
Whether it is Jiang Feng or Jiang's Consortium, there is no positive response. Anyway, making money is the king, and this kind of news will be calm after a few days of trouble. There is really no need to have any disputes with them, it is just a waste of saliva.
However, just after Jiang Feng took the final exam of his senior year in the last semester, another good news came from Mongolia, saying that a super-large high-quality iron ore was discovered.
Overall, the iron ore taste in Mongolia is not as good as that in Australia, and it is not even as good as the large iron ore developed by Jiang Feng in Africa. However, the reserves of the large iron ore discovered now exceed 300 million tons, and its ore grade exceeds 57%, which is considered good.
Jiang Feng was very happy after receiving the news. In addition, the New Year approached, so Jiang Feng specially held a cocktail party in the capital to celebrate, invited some military leaders who helped him to attend, and also invited many leaders of the National Academy of State and some senior executives on his side.
In order to increase the entertainment atmosphere, he also found friends from CCTV and arranged some film and television stars to support him. In addition, some friends from the Beijing business district, two or three hundred people attended the cocktail party.
The topics during the meal were naturally inevitable for Jiang Feng’s investment in Mongolia. Some leaders of the State Academy of State could see more clearly about this, so the topics they exchanged were more in-depth.
"At present, the West exploits China economically, mainly through resource monopoly discourse power, high-tech monopoly, and using loopholes in reform and opening up. "Jiang Feng said to a leader of the Policy Research Office. "Resource pricing discourse power is one of the essential economic elements of a superpower. As a country that is determined to become a big country, it is necessary to break the Western resource monopoly discourse power in order to embark on the road to smooth development. At present, Western countries often call for a clear leader, but they just want to interfere with the high-level vision, make everyone unable to let go, and thus disrupt the country's strategic deployment."
Chinese people are more face-saving, so foreigners have also seen this. When they ask some people to yell there, they will make the Chinese people unable to let go of their hands and handle many things, which has a great impact. In fact, if there is a established policy in terms of politics and completely ignore the other party's interference and move forward completely along the predetermined goal, there will be no problem.
The controlling and development rights of most resources that monopolize the controlling and development rights of most of the world's resources, including iron ore, oil ore, copper ore, uranium ore, are the best practices in Western countries. For example, the monopolists of iron ore are mainly BHP Billiton, which has a stake in Japan, the United States, and Australia, as well as the Brazilian Vale Company, as well as Indian companies and other major iron ore suppliers.
For example, the main monopoly of global oil extraction are new and old companies such as Shell and Mobil under the support of the United States and the United States, as well as several Russian oil companies, which control major oil-producing areas and export areas such as the Middle East, Africa, and **. These companies under the background of the US monopolize the controlling rights, development rights, sales rights, and pricing rights of the above resources.
On the other hand, through the West and the self-built futures market system, international financial capital or market share, it realizes super high pricing power, monopolizes the right to speak, and deprives China of the right to speak. For example, it raises the global oil prices, non-ferrous metals, precious metals and other commodities.
"In the past few years, oil prices have doubled, and iron ore prices have also jumped by about 20% each year. The cumulative increase in recent years is astonishing, and the prices of non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum have also increased by about twice at the same time." Jiang Feng told everyone, "Under this situation, developing countries like China need to grow through normal channels, the cost is quite huge."
The consequence of the monopoly of international resource markets in China is input-type inflation.
Taking crude oil as an example, the rise in oil prices has caused the production and sales prices of domestic small and medium-sized refineries to reverse, and the more they refine, which has led to domestic oil shortages, resulting in price increase pressure and opposition from car users, and has even been provoked by people with ulterior motives to oppose the political axe.
Rising oil prices will drive the rise of liquefied natural gas, affecting residents' lives, further driving the rise of coal prices, and forcing electricity to raise prices. The rise in international oil prices will further trigger the investment in ethanol fuel oil in the West, consume a large amount of corn and other agricultural products, raise the prices of agricultural products, and force China's feed prices, agricultural product prices, and grain and non-staple food prices, affecting residents' lives.
The impact of rising oil prices alone involves drivers, gas liquefied gas users, coal users, electricity users, food and non-staple foods, and the impact on life is almost comprehensive.
As for various foreign forces, the various opposition forces that are ready to move in China take the opportunity to use various tools to attack the government and force the government to achieve their purpose of opposing government or anti-China through various tools.
As for the price of iron ore, the impact will be even greater.
Due to the monopoly of the other party in iron ore procurement, he was forced to accept the other party's price increase as required and had no say at all, resulting in the rising cost of domestic steel, which directly raised the costs of the construction, automobile, electrical and other industries that used steel, reduced their profitability, and became one of the excuses for real estate developers to raise housing prices.
As for the rise in copper prices, the impact is also very strong. (To be continued.)
