"Brother Chen, why are you throwing us here for airdrops?" Chen Zhiyong asked in confusion.

"When our ship arrives, put these things on the ship." Liang Chen lit a cigarette, looked up at the plane moving away from the sky and said with a smile. At the same time, brothers were already beginning to contact the cargo ship through the individual radio station.

"Hehe, this time, with this big guy, we can basically walk sideways in that Jimofania. Whoever doesn't accept it will shoot him on his forehead to ensure that he is obedient." Gao Yu next to him stroked the cannon barrel on the Qijiu tank and said in a true way.

"Brother Chen, the cargo ship has determined our location, and now it is about half an hour away." The radio station has been connected, and a brother reported to Liang Chen after a while of reporting the location.

"Well, okay, let's wait for a while." Liang Chen nodded, the sea breeze blew quietly, and the few people had nothing to do, so they just sat down and chatted while waiting for the boat.

"By the way, Brother Chen, I haven't figured out why you are so interested in that Jimofania? What attracts you? If you want to develop or give your brothers a better space, you can go to Australia or something. With our financial resources and strength, it's extremely easy to make a fortune wherever you want to make a fortune." Chen Zhiyong sat on a cannon box and asked in confusion. Liu Guosheng once asked Shen Wangshan this question, but he did not get a definite answer.

Several brothers next to him who were unknown were also looking at Liang Chen with great anticipation, eager for him to give the answer.

"Haha, it's very simple, because we will return to China to develop in the future." Liang Chen banged the cigarette butt into the distant sea and said with a smile.

"I don't understand. What does it have to do with going back to China to the place where birds do not lay eggs? Brother Chen, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to go, but I haven't figured out what's going on." Chen Zhiyong became more and more confused.

"Because there are resources and iron ore resources there." Liang Chen said with a meaningful smile.

"Iron ore resources?" The dozen eyes next to him were confused. Except for Gao Yu and Chen Zhiyong who understood something vaguely, the others were staring at each other with big eyes, a little confused.

"Actually, you will understand one thing. That is, the central islands that China is competing with other countries now, to put it bluntly, are mainly to break through the third island chain and the competition for resources. Because the attached waters of these islands have huge oil and natural gas exploitation volume, especially the total oil and gas exploitation volume reaches more than half of Saudi Arabia's total storage. The future world pattern is a resource battle. In this resource battle, every country cannot afford to lose. Whoever loses resources, whoever controls resources will face the danger of being controlled or even extinction. Iron ore is also the lifeblood of industry, and its importance is self-evident. The competition for control of mineral resources has never stopped in history. History and reality have proved that the United States, the European Union, and Japan have always been proved by the United States, the European Union, and Japan.

The external actions have always been driven by interests and are never moral. In the 10 years after World War I, the United States and Britain controlled 53 (percent sign) of the world's known coal reserves at that time, 48 (percent sign), 76 (percent sign), 79 (percent sign), 81 (percent sign), and 74 (percent sign). There are countless spheres of influence and colonies that control most of the earth's resources. Germany, Japan, and Italy fought for control of mineral resources with European and American powers and expanded their living space, and World War II broke out." Liang Chen said this, paused, looked at a few people, and grinned, "I'm a bit long in this question, isn't it a bit dry and irritable?"

"Not dry or irritable, Brother Chen, please continue to talk about it, what does these things have to do with us?" A group of brothers were a little fascinated by hearing this and shouted repeatedly.

"Then let me say a few more words." Liang Chen nodded, "At present, the United States, the EU countries, and Japan are the world's largest mineral consumer. Developed countries, which account for less than 1/4 of the world's population, consume 3/4 of the world's mineral resources. The current international mineral resources market trend is: developed countries have achieved transnational operations of mining enterprises through national policy support and establishment of a complete service system, using multinational companies as a carrier, accelerated the implementation of global resource strategies, and controlled most of the high-quality resources. This is the overall pattern of global mineral resource allocation. This pattern has also directly led to developing countries, especially those of China, which are urgently needed to rise. They must increase their voice in international mineral trade and strive to control more high-quality resources in order to realize the dream of prosperity and revitalization. However, what is depressing is that since the reform and opening up, with China joining the WTO, due to its weak awareness of resource crisis, there is a lack of strategic planning and adjustment at the same time due to its weak sense of resource crisis.

Control, some people should only consider tax growth under the government. As long as the local government pays taxes, it is a Chinese enterprise that simply pursues economic growth rate, overemphasizes export and foreign exchange earnings, and blindly attracts investment. It causes serious loss of mineral resources in my country. It is estimated that according to the current mining speed, gold mines can still support mining for fifteen years, silver mines can be mined for up to twenty years, and in another twenty years, Jiangxi's rare earth resource mines will disappear, and the world's largest reserve tungsten ore resources will also

If it disappears, in another thirty years, the Baotou Baiyun Obo deposit, the world's largest rare earth mine, will disappear. Copper ore will last for thirty years, nickel ore will last forty-six years, oil will last forty-twenty years, and most of the remaining mineral resources will be mined within a hundred years. These are all expected facts. So, once all these mineral resources are mined, what will we leave for future generations in the future?" At this point, Liang Chen sighed long, and there was a deep worry between his eyebrows.

However, he smiled bitterly, "But don't misunderstand that I am not a kind person, nor do I have the qualifications to worry about the future of the country and nation. I just start from reality and consider how we settle down now. This is the most critical and important thing we are currently doing."

"No, I don't think this is the case." Chen Zhiyong next to him looked solemn, "A true kind-hearted and ambition will never give up his concerns and considerations about the future of the country and the nation just because of whether he is in the temple. Maybe Brother Chen, you really can't be called a true kind-hearted and ambition, but you always have a patriotic heart. People like you are a hundred times stronger than politicians like Qiu Danming who only care about their future and career. With more people like you, you are the backbone of the country." Chen Zhiyong exclaimed sincerely.

"Take it down. You are burying me by saying this. It makes me feel goosebumps all over. How could I be so noble and great?" Liang Chen hugged his shoulders and said as if he was disgusted with chills.

"That's right, you're so flattering that you're too inaccurate." Gao Yu and others also winked and made fun of Chen Zhiyong.

"I'm just telling the truth..." Chen Zhiyong's face turned red. Fortunately, he was darker and the sky was darker, so he couldn't tell.

"Okay, let's continue to talk about it. Two years ago, the international iron ore price negotiations were settled, and Huaxia Steel Plant finally accepted a 19 (percent sign) price increase. Regarding the negotiation process and negotiation results, domestic and foreign research institutions and news media published a large number of analytical and commentary articles. As the negotiations came to an end, it was time for us to sit down and reflect calmly. This iron ore price negotiations exposed many problems in the Huaxia steel industry, such as the scattered and disordered industry, low steel varieties, and low industrial competitiveness. However, I think there is one of them.

The problem that needs to be solved urgently is that it is necessary to increase efforts to develop foreign iron ore resources. In fact, to put it bluntly, the main reason why this negotiation has been stalemate for so long and the negotiation parties are so fierce is that there are great differences between China Steel Plant and the iron ore giants on the supply and demand relationship between international iron ore in the next few years. A foreign investment bank predicted the international iron ore demand, believing that in another five years, the world's marine iron ore demand will reach 1.5 billion tons, of which China will import more than 800 million tons, accounting for nearly 80% of the future increase.

Now, Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry's attention is still on the expansion of domestic steel production capacity, and steel production continues to grow rapidly. However, it still does not pay enough attention to investing in and developing foreign iron ore resources. This will undoubtedly intensify the contradiction between supply and demand in iron ore, which is in line with the predictions of foreign research institutions. In fact, the analysis report of foreign research institutions has warned us that we should rely on foreign iron ore producers to invest heavily in the development of iron ore resources, and ultimately break the oligopoly pattern and form a situation of oversupply. This idea is obviously too optimistic. If Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry wants to break this monopoly, it must establish long-term strategic thinking, dare to bear certain investment risks, increase investment efforts, unite, and find a way to develop foreign iron ore resources with China as the main focus. Only in this way can we reduce our dependence on the three major international iron ore giants and get rid of the passive situation of being controlled by others.

The newly appointed national leaders obviously realized this problem and are making great efforts to change this trend. It can be seen from the series of measures issued at the beginning of this year on the heavy industry, including revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China and beginning to seek overseas iron ore mining cooperation, that the country is trying to seek innovation, change and development, and most importantly, it is looking for ways to break through. This also means that the mining industry, especially the iron ore industry, will become the top priority for the Chinese government to make efforts to solve for a long time in the future, which is equivalent to giving us an opportunity to master the magical tool.

That's why I targeted Jimofania. Because it has been discovered that there is a super-large iron ore. As long as we take it down and control it, it is equivalent to getting a Shangfang sword. At that time, what kind of attitude would the Chinese government be towards us? Not to mention the Chinese government, even BHP, Rio Tinto and Vale, the three world steel giants, and other major powers, may also look at us differently? If we really control this iron ore deposit, haha, we Chaoyang becomes a world-class large company and build a top-level business empire, is it still far from this goal?" Liang Chen looked at them and said with a meaningful smile.

"Damn, Brother Chen, you are so amazing, right? How come you know so much? I wonder now, are you a person who has traveled through time from the future, otherwise how could you know so much? How could you have such a long-term vision? You are only twenty-three years old this year? Are you not like a young man? You are almost the same as a national leader who has been in power for many years." Gao Yu opened his mouth wide. Now even his good brother who has been with Liang Chen for many years can't see through Brother Chen.

"Come on, how could it be that mysterious? I'm just preparing for the future. I've been paying attention to these things as early as when I was in school and have been looking for a way out of advancement, attacking, and defending. This is also the result of reading more books and paying more attention to politics and news. Of course, there are also the teachings of General Qiu." Liang Chen remembered General Qiu and sighed suddenly, and a faint sadness flashed through his heart. To be honest, these truths were the two of them who accidentally chatted in the first place when they were at General Qiu's home, which shocked Liang Chen at that time. Of course, what General Qiu didn't expect was that Liang Chen would actually use this method to understand his words, and then use it as a weapon to compete with Qiu Danming. If he knew, he would probably be amused and crying.

"Brother Chen, wait, I was a little dizzy just now, I forgot to ask a question. What, what, what is the storage capacity of the iron ore deposit in Jimofania you mentioned? It is worth our investment and we mobilize all the people to compete in the place where birds do not lay eggs?" Chen Zhiyong asked with his two bull eyes open. He was a little dizzy just now, and now he reacted and asked the most critical question.

"Good question, haha, do you know where the largest iron ore deposit in the world is and how much iron ore reserves are?" Liang Chen asked with a smile, intending to test them. Several people stared at each other with big eyes, and naturally they didn't know.

"Haha, it is the LACOTELNUK iron ore deposit located in the Nunavik area of ​​Quebec, Canada. It is the largest mined iron ore deposit in the world, with a storage capacity of nearly 4.3 billion tons. And our country has proven that the largest iron ore is Benxi Dataigou iron ore, with a storage capacity of 3.2 billion tons. As for this iron ore deposit in Jimofania, haha, now it is conservatively estimated that at least 1.5 billion tons. If the country hears this news, will it immediately go crazy and rush to develop?" Liang Chen grabbed a piece of smoke that was ignited again and smiled meaningfully.
Chapter completed!
