God-level Miner

Chapter 995 Let's Go Abroad
"Xudong, let's go have some tea."

Under the leadership of Wang Xudong, the two took the elevator to the headquarters of Xudong Mining Group on the 88th floor of the building, and entered Wang Xudong's big office.

Chen Yuehui came to this office once, and when he came in again, he still felt amazed, "Xudong, this office is luxurious and magnificent!"

The office is very large and luxurious, with Chinese-style mahogany office equipment, plus some valuable paintings, antiques and other decorations, the feeling comes out invisibly.

Wang Xudong said modestly: "This is just an office, so-so."

The two sat down in the reception area of ​​the office. There were several leather sofas and a coffee table. A can of the best Dahongpao comes out, and I make tea myself.

Seeing Wang Xudong start making tea skillfully, Chen Yuehui said, "Xudong, you didn't call me here just to drink tea and chat with me, did you?"

While making tea, Wang Xudong said, "Minister Chen, drinking tea is naturally not the point. I have something to discuss with you, and I hope you can help me."

That's right!

Certainly not just drinking tea, but having important things to do.Chen Yuehui nodded and said, "There's no need to be polite between us. If you need my help, you can just say it."

The relationship between the two was very good, and there was really no need for too much politeness. Wang Xudong also got straight to the point and said what happened.

Wang Xudong said: "Minister Chen, I want to open a rare earth mine, but I don't know if it's feasible."

The Huaxia Mining Department is in charge of the mining of all minerals in the country, and has absolute power and authority in this field. Wang Xudong is going to enter the field of rare earth mining, Chen Yuehui is definitely the right person.

Why did Wang Xudong enter the field of rare earth mining? This is not a whim, but a long-term consideration. He has been thinking about this matter for the past few days.

The full set of technical information of "Super Metal No. 1" has been given to Chen Sanlian. The current Sanlian Special Steel Group has held a high-level meeting and is looking at the whole country to select sites for the construction of three super large factories. In the future, "Super Metal No. 1" will be carried out. "The smelting of this super special steel.

This is indeed a super special steel, and it is also versatile. It can be widely used in various fields and can be manufactured into various parts, ranging from key aerospace parts to ordinary civilian parts. , or even an ordinary screw.

This metal is so outstanding, it is much better than the super stainless steel, super high-strength steel and other special steel products currently produced by Sanlian Special Steel Group.

Wang Xudong's idea is that in the future, a large number of super special steels such as "Super Metal No. 1" will be smelted for the manufacture of parts in the high-end field, and the super stainless steel and super high-strength steel of Sanlian Special Steel Group will be used in the general field, or simply Use ordinary steel.

China needs to consume more than 10 billion tons of steel every year. The future structural composition should be about 1 million tons of "Super Metal No. 1" super special steel, and about 1 to 2 million tons of various products currently produced by Sanlian Special Steel Group. 7% to 8% of the remaining special steel products are ordinary steel products or ordinary special steel products.

Of course, this goal is very ambitious. Sanlian Special Steel Group has a long road to smelt hundreds of millions of tons of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel and about 1 to 2 million tons of other special steels, and it may take several years of development.

For example, the special steel material for this year is only several million tons, which is still a little far away from 1000 million tons, and even farther away from 1 to 2 million tons.

The three major factories in the future will need to smelt tens of millions of tons, or even hundreds of millions of tons of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel every year. This is Wang Xudong's goal. To achieve this great goal, in addition to requiring a large amount of iron ore, Rare earths are also required.

Even though the rare earth content in "Super Metal No. 1" special steel is very small, the total amount of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel will be large in the future. 1 million tons of special steel such as "Super Metal No. 1" is calculated to be 10,000+ tons of rare earths, and a part of rhenium metal is also needed.

Fortunately, the content of rhenium metal is very low, and the demand is not large. Otherwise, Wang Xudong would not be able to smelt the special steel "Super Metal No. 1" in large quantities, because the content of rhenium metal is very small in nature, and it is even rarer than gold.

To smelt "Super Metal No. 1" in large quantities, it means that at least tens of thousands of tons of rare earth resources are needed every year. With so many rare earths, it is a bit wrong to rely solely on buying them. It is best to have one's own rare earth mine.

Rare earths are known as "industrial vitamins".Now it has become an extremely important strategic resource.To purchase hundreds of thousands of tons of rare earths every year, even the Xudong Mining Group, it is estimated that the difficulty is not small.

It would be great to have a rare earth mine of our own. Not only rare earths can be mined, but also the metal "rhenium" can be mined, because the two are often associated.

Chen Yuehui was a little surprised, "Xudong, are you going to enter the field of rare earth mining?"

There are various speculations in my heart, wondering what Wang Xudong is looking for himself, especially considering the exploitation of natural gas and oil, I thought Wang Xudong was planning to build another large oil field, where did he think that Wang Xudong was going to enter the field of rare earth mining.

Wang Xudong nodded and said: "Yes, I want to have a rare earth mine, and then mine rare earth resources."

Chen Yuehui looked distressed, noticing Chen Yuehui's expression, Wang Xudong asked, "Minister Chen, is there a problem?"

Chen Yuehui sighed slightly, and explained: "Xudong, rare earth resources are important strategic resources of the country. With successive years of mining, the resource reserves have become less and less. According to the current mining speed, there will be another 15 to 20 In [-], our rare earth resources will be fully exploited, and by then, we will need to import rare earths.”

It is easier said than done to import rare earths. This is a strategic resource, known as "industrial gold", and other countries with rare earth resources will not sell it to you.

Chen Yuehui said: "Because resources are getting less and less, the country has noticed this, issued a production restriction order, and also banned the export of rare earths. Last year, 89000 tons of rare earth mines (REO) were mined nationwide, and you have to enter rare earth In the field of mining, large-scale mining is in conflict with national policy, and there is nothing I can do to help you."

That's it!
Wang Xudong felt disappointed, because he needs rare earth resources, and the annual demand in the future will be at least hundreds of thousands of tons. If the output of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel is higher, the demand may be more than hundreds of thousands of tons, and it may be More than 20 tons.

"A clever woman can't cook without rice", without rare earths, and even with a complete set of smelting technical materials, it is impossible to smelt this super special steel.

Seeing that Wang Xudong was feeling a little lost, Chen Yuehui could only give Wang Xudong a sorry look, lightly patted Wang Xudong on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Xudong, although the rare earth industry makes money, you are in the field of iron ore mining, petroleum The mining industry has done very well, and if we continue to grow bigger and stronger in these fields, I think Xudong Mining Group will become the number one company in the world."

Chen Yuehui obviously misunderstood a little bit, thinking that Wang Xudong entered the field of rare earth mining to make money, but it was not, it was for the future large-scale smelting and production of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel.

It was hard to explain anything, Wang Xudong could only nod his head, and said mockingly: "Minister Chen, it's okay, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, I think there will always be a way."

Chen Yuehui shook his head lightly again, knowing that Wang Xudong was determined to enter the field of rare earth mining. He knew Wang Xudong's character, and knew that once Wang Xudong made a decision, it would be difficult to change it, and it would be useless to persuade him. Off topic.

Chen Yuehui said: "This tea is pretty good, I'll take some back later and drink it slowly."

Wang Xudong knew that Chen Yuehui was not interested in his own tea, but was worried that the topic of rare earth mining would be too dull, so he said this on purpose to change the subject.

Wang Xudong smiled: "This is the top-quality Dahongpao. I happen to have a jar here, and I'll bring it back to you later."

The two chatted about other topics. After about ten minutes, Chen Yuehui got up and said, "Xudong, I'm leaving. There are still a lot of things waiting for me."

As the head of the Ministry of Mining, Chen Yuehui was relatively busy. Wang Xudong knew this, so he didn't want to keep him anymore. He personally sent Chen Yuehui down the stairs, and watched Chen Yuehui get into the car at the entrance of the International Finance Building before returning to his office.

Sitting on the large and comfortable boss chair, Wang Xudong was thinking about rare earth mining. Now that he had decided to mine rare earth resources, Wang Xudong would not give up easily. Besides, the future smelting of "Super Metal No. 1" required a lot of resources. What about rare earths?

It seems that it is not acceptable to mine rare earth resources in China. This is a strategically important resource, which is very limited and non-renewable.

In this case, let’s keep the domestic rare earth resources, let’s not touch them, we have to set our sights on foreign countries, go abroad to mine rare earth resources, let’s go to harm foreign countries, mine rare earth resources overseas, and then transport them back to China .

Well, just do it!

After making up his mind, Wang Xudong's mood suddenly brightened, and he relaxed all of a sudden. He turned on his computer and began to check the distribution of rare earth resources around the world.

If it is someone else, it is tantamount to fantasy and almost impossible to go overseas to mine rare earth resources.

This is a scarce strategic resource. Those countries with rare earth resources probably would not allow an outsider to mine it. Wang Xudong has this confidence because he has a "God-level mine owner" system.

Turning on the computer, Wang Xudong began to inquire about the reserves and distribution of rare earth resources in the world, and began to understand the situation of rare earth resources.

稀土元素在地壳中的含量并不稀少，总的克拉克值达到了234.51%，比常见元素铜（克拉克值10%）、锌（克拉克值5%）、锡（克拉克值4%）、铅（克拉克值16%）、镍（克拉克值8%）、钴（克拉克值3%）都多。

Rare earths are composed of 14 natural elements, as well as synthetic elements.The natural reserves exceed 1.5 million tons, and the exploitable reserves exceed 0.88 million tons.

There are a lot of rare earth reserves in the world!

Since rare earth reserves are so abundant, why are there so few mineable rare earth resources? Wang Xudong soon understood the reason.

....
The second one is delivered!
