God-level Miner

Chapter 1191 Field Trips
If there were several optional targets, Wang Xudong probably wouldn't have such doubts.

Among the materials Sam Standy produced was only the introduction of one small rare earth mine, not multiple rare earth mines, which made Wang Xudong somewhat suspicious.Maybe Sam Standy didn't think about this, and thought he was doing a good job, but actually ignored this point, and didn't come up with multiple rare earth mines as candidates, but only one.

While Wang Xudong sneered in his heart, he also had a heart, but he didn't show it on his face. It seemed that he was looking through these materials very seriously, and he was also listening to Sam Standy's introduction seriously.

After reading the materials and listening to the introduction, Wang Xudong said, "Mr. Sam Standy, this rare earth mine is not very good."

Liang Hongbo even said: "The scale is small and the reserves are relatively small. According to the ratio of 10 to 1, the 'Super Metal No. 1' special steel that you can buy from Sanlian Special Steel Group is very limited."

Sam Standy obviously thought up his rhetoric in advance, and quickly said: "This is only our first cooperation, and there will be a second, third, etc. in the future. First, we will use this rare earth mine as an exchange. Steel Group purchased the first batch of special steel products, and if possible, we can continue to cooperate in the future.”

If it was just the first cooperation, it would make sense.

Wang Xudong did not delve into this matter, and waved his hand: "The data shows that the resource reserves of this rare earth mine are about 15 tons. According to the ratio of 6000 to 10, you can buy 1 tons from Sanlian Special Steel Group. tons of 'Super Metal No. 1' special steel."

"No, no." Sam Standy shook his head quickly.

The focus of this negotiation is the ratio. He naturally would not agree to this ratio of 10 to 1. No, he immediately shook his head.

"Mr. Wang, the ratio of 10 to 1 is a bit exaggerated. We think the ratio of 1 to 1 is more appropriate."

Asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground.It seems that Sam Standy also knows the essence of this point, and immediately reduced the ratio from 10 to 1 to 1 to 1, which is a 10-fold reduction.

This is the focus of negotiations between the two parties.

Wang Xudong said: "1 to 1 is absolutely impossible. If this ratio is followed, it means that Sanlian Special Steel Group will sell you 15 tons of this special steel. This is absolutely impossible. We can make Appropriate concessions, 6000 to 9.5, cannot be lower."

Wang Xudong is not stupid, he is very smart. He knows that bit by bit, he only reduced the ratio by 0.5, reducing the ratio from 10 to 1 to 9.5 to 1, instead of 9 to 1, or 8 to 1.

You come and go, talk for a long time, very intense.

In the end, there was a stalemate. Wang Xudong dropped to 6-1 at the lowest, while Sam Standy insisted on 3-1. The gap between the two sides was a little big.

Liang Hongbo even pointed out that the mine's rare earth resource reserves were unilaterally proposed by Sam Standy. Whether it is 15 tons or not is subject to further determination.

Wang Xudong also knew that the data of 15 tons might contain a lot of moisture, so he began to study in depth. Facing Wang Xudong's in-depth investigation, Sam Standy blushed and was very embarrassed.

It’s okay if it hasn’t been investigated deeply, and it may be fooled. What Sam Standy is holding is that he wants to muddle through, hoping to get more shares and buy more of this special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group.

You can't hide it.

Sam Standy admitted shamelessly: "This is the assessment data 10 years ago. After years of mining, the resource reserves of this rare earth mine should be about 10 tons."

10 tons is only a rough estimate, and there may not be 10 tons.

The sudden drop from 15 tons to 6000 tons made Wang Xudong feel refreshed, and he didn't intend to go any further. Whether it was 10 tons or 10 tons didn't mean much to Wang Xudong.

It is mainly a matter of proportion.

Wang Xudong said: "Then let's say 10 tons."

Sam Standy was overjoyed, and even asked in disbelief: "Aren't you going to conduct comprehensive exploration and evaluation to determine the real rare earth resource reserves?"

Wang Xudong waved his hand and said, "This time, I trust you, let's calculate it as 10 tons."

It is not necessary for Wang Xudong to be very accurate about the amount of resource reserves, nor is it necessary to conduct comprehensive exploration and evaluation there.

Wang Xudong just wants this mine, it doesn't matter how big or small it is.

As long as there is such a mine, even if it is only a small mine, it can be transformed into a super rare earth mine with huge reserves under the hands of Wang Xudong.

It would be unfavorable for Wang Xudong to carry out a comprehensive and detailed exploration.Because Wang Xudong will gather a large amount of rare earth resources there in the future.

If a comprehensive and careful exploration has been carried out, there are not many rare earth resources there, and a large amount of rare earth resources will suddenly appear in the future. There is one point that cannot be explained. This is the reason why Wang Xudong does not want to conduct comprehensive exploration.

Wang Xudong even asked, "Mr. Sam Standy, 10 tons is just your estimate. This rare earth mine has not been fully explored, but it doesn't matter. We accept this data, and it is 10 tons."

Sam Standy admitted: "This is just a small-scale rare earth mine. It was only mined by a small mining company before. They didn't conduct a comprehensive exploration of rare earth resources in that area. They just did a cursory exploration. It is concluded that the reserves of rare earth resources are 15 tons."

Wang Xudong didn't mean to delve into it, accepting the figure of 10 tons, Sam Standy actually told the truth.

That is, this small rare earth mine has not conducted comprehensive and careful exploration at all. That is to say, if a large amount of rare earth suddenly appears in the future, it can be explained and does not appear to be shocking.

The key is a matter of proportion.

The two sides talked for a long time, two days in a row, and even some details were basically settled, but they still didn't agree on the issue of proportion.

萨姆司坦迪坚持最多按4比1，也就是说，他们应该要能从三联特钢集团购买到2万5000吨的“超级金属1号”特种钢材。

Wang Xudong insisted on a 6 to 1 agreement, that is, he agreed to sell 1 tons of this special steel at most.

In the end, it was Wang Xudong who suggested to go to this rare earth mine to have a look first, and after a field visit, the two sides sat down to continue the discussion.

This proposal, Sam Standy can only accept.

In fact, Sam Standy wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams, because he knew that this was actually an "abandoned mine". Absolutely impossible to mine.

It is precisely because he knows that such tricks are hidden, he naturally hopes to get things done as soon as possible and sign a series of agreement documents with Wang Xudong as soon as possible.

Wang Xudong's proposal was not excessive, on the contrary, it was reasonable.

They signed a series of agreement documents without even going to the rare earth mine, which seemed a bit too hasty and unreasonable.

Faced with Wang Xudong's proposal, Sam Standy could only agree.So, Sam Standy said: "Mr. Wang, if it's convenient, we can set off as soon as possible, and I will take you to this rare earth mine for inspection, and we can settle the matter as soon as possible."

Wang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Okay, then we will start tomorrow."

So it's settled.

On the second day, Wang Xudong took his A380 plane and flew directly from Donghai City to a famous city in the west of Citigroup, accompanied by Sam Standy and others.

After the plane landed in the west, after a short rest, Sam Standy arranged a car and headed to the western inland town closest to the rare earth mine.

Liang Hongbo accompanied Wang Xudong. After all, this was related to the second rare earth mine of Xudong Mining Group, so it was a big deal.In addition, there is Lin Hu.

Sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside, Liang Hongbo said: "Brother Dong, to be honest, the road traffic in the west of Citi Country is pretty good."

This is a very good asphalt road, the road condition is first-class, and the vehicles drive smoothly and quickly.Looking out of the car window, you can see the typical scenery of the western inland of Citigroup, which has a special taste.

After two or three hours of driving, the car arrived at a small town called San Dino, which is the closest town to the mining area, and it is only [-] to [-] kilometers away from the rare earth mine.

In the western inland, the typical land is sparsely populated. Small towns like this are rare in the western inland. Drive along the asphalt road with good road conditions to enter the town.

Wang Xudong smiled and said, "The town looks pretty good."

Liang Hongbo also said: "As expected of a developed capitalist country, it's just an inland town, and the environment and conditions are first-class."

The town is very clean and modern, without any mess and mess, which makes people fall in love with it just by looking at it.Wang Xudong's impression of Citigroup is so-so, but he has a good impression of this small town.

The car stopped before one of the best western restaurants in the small town. After getting off the car, Sam Standy invited: "Mr. Wang, let's have dinner here first, and then go to the mining area in the afternoon for a field trip. .”

Wang Xudong saw that this western restaurant looked good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's have dinner first, and then go to the mining area in the afternoon."

A group of us walked into this western restaurant. Obviously, Sam Standy had already prepared everything in advance, and there were no other guests in the western restaurant, just waiting for the arrival of Wang Xudong and others.

The western food is rich, and Wang Xudong is quite satisfied.

After the meal, Sam Standy arranged the best hotel in the town for Wang Xudong and Liang Hongbo to stay in.The hotel is not big, but it is very clean and gives a warm feeling.

Anyway, it was only for one or two nights. Wang Xudong happily went into his room and took a rest. In the afternoon, everyone drove to the mining area together.

Sitting in the car, when he was about to leave the town, Wang Xudong smiled. He didn't think about the town and the train station, and got through the railway.

What made Wang Xudong even more delighted was that this small-scale rare earth mine was actually connected to a railway, which connected to the main railway near the town at one end and led to the mining area at the other end.

It can be seen that because the rare earth mine has not been mined for many years, the railway leading to the mining area has also shown signs of being abandoned, but it does not affect its use.

Liang Hongbo also discovered this, "Brother Dong, the previous information did not say that there is a railway in the mining area. I didn't think about it, but there is a railway."

The previous introduction materials were relatively simple, and there was really no mention of this railway.Seeing this railway at first glance was a big surprise for Wang Xudong and Liang Hongbo.

The road leading to the mining area is actually very good. Although there are only two lanes, it is a beautiful asphalt road with a distance of only [-] kilometers. In less than half an hour, several vehicles gradually entered the mining area.

Through the car window, Wang Xudong could already see the rare earth mine in front of him.

.........

The third one is delivered.

That's all for today's update, thank you all!
