The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Questions are over for tonight.

Luisa left the bar expressionlessly.

Lin Zhiyuan knew that several answers tonight stung Louisa. Although she didn't say anything, the expression on her face had revealed her true thoughts.

Lin Zhiyuan did not leave immediately. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the bar with a third of the beer left in his hand. Looking out from this angle, Rio at night was indeed beautiful.

I just don’t know what’s hidden behind those lanterns.

This trip to Samba was full of twists and turns, whether it was a blessing or a curse, which can only be revealed at the end.

Louisa has been asking for help from him these days, but Lin Zhiyuan knows in his heart that the true colors of these people are definitely not as polite as they appear.

The next day, Mr. Costa sent a car to pick up Lin Zhiyuan on time.

The car pulled Lin Zhiyuan to a skyscraper in downtown Rio.

Lin Zhiyuan followed the staff and took the elevator to the rooftop. A helicopter was ready.

Costa changed into casual clothes and put on a pair of sunglasses. He was very stylish. The handsome guy is old and can still pretend to be sexy.

Lin Zhiyuan believes that at this age, Costa can still capture the hearts of many young hotties.

"Lin, Vale is a bit far from Rio. To save time, we can only take a helicopter there."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded and followed him onto the plane.

The propellers began to spin, and soon the helicopter rose into the air and flew south.

On the plane, Costa introduced some basic information about Vale to Lin Zhiyuan, "Mr. Lin, Vale is headquartered in Rio. It has four major systems, the Southeast System, the Southern System, the Northern System and the Midwest System. Each system is a fully integrated entity, including mines, railways, marine terminals and ports. The southern system consists of two mining complexes and two marine terminals. That is the southern system we are going to now."

The helicopter flight lasted about two hours. Lin Zhiyuan looked down and saw that the mountain had turned iron brown, very close to the color of the Dagushan iron ore in Ge'an. He knew that they were now above the mining area.

The helicopter landed slowly.

A group of people wearing work clothes and hard hats who looked like leaders gathered around. Most of them were white, but there were also a few blacks and Latinos.

This scene was very familiar, and Lin Zhiyuan seemed to have returned to the mine of leather steel.

These people surrounded Costa and spoke a bunch of Portuguese that Lin Zhiyuan could not understand.

Costa nodded frequently, then invited Lin Zhiyuan to his side and introduced everyone in Portuguese.

These people chattered a lot more, which Lin Zhiyuan couldn't understand anyway. They probably meant to welcome them.

Someone handed Costa and Lin Zhiyuan two hard hats. After Lin Zhiyuan put them on, accompanied by these people, he walked around the mine.

Basically all the iron mines in Samba Country are open-pit mines, which are very similar to the Dagushan Iron Mine in Lesteel.

During their inspections, they often saw huge mine cars loaded with iron ore rumbling up from below.

Lin Zhiyuan could clearly see the thick rust-colored ores loaded on the car.

The grade of Samba country's iron ore is usually higher, reaching more than 60%, and contains less phosphorus, making it the best raw material for ironmaking.

However, because Samba is too far away from China, until now, domestic steel companies have not imported iron ore from Samba.

Lin Zhiyuan is the first Chinese person to inspect the mines in Samba Country. His appearance is of extraordinary significance to both China Steel Enterprises and Vale.

It was almost noon. After consulting Lin Zhiyuan, Costa took him to the canteen of the mine for a working meal.

The cafeteria is very large and has a buffet style, so you can eat as you please.

A staff member handed Lin Zhiyuan a dinner plate, and Lin Zhiyuan took the plate and turned it around on the dining table.

Vale Samba is the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore and the largest mining company in the American continent. It is known as the "crown jewel" of Samba and the "engine of the Amazon." It can be seen from the canteen that this company is very profitable, with a clean and hygienic environment and a variety of dishes.

Samba is a large livestock country and is rich in beef, so there is a lot of meat in the buffet.

Costa introduced several canteen specialties to Lin Zhiyuan. One dish is stewed with black beans, which is a very famous dish in Samba. Black beans are also a specialty of Samba.

"Lin, I recommend you try this. It's very delicious."

Lin Zhiyuan took a spoonful. Although he hadn't eaten it yet, the aroma of the meat was mixed with the unique fragrance of black beans. Just by smelling it, he knew that this dish must be good.

The food habits of Samba are somewhat diversified, which is related to the ethnic diversity of their country.

Samba was originally a Portuguese colony, and later there were a large number of black slaves. At the same time, there were also a large number of Indian descendants in the territory. Therefore, the food taste of Samba was deeply influenced by Portugal and Africa.

Lin Zhiyuan took some more vegetable salad and a piece of bread, sat on the chair with the dinner plate, and chatted with Costa while eating.

Not to mention, the black bean stew introduced by Costa is indeed delicious. The combination of beef and black beans creates a special texture.

"Lin, if you're not tired, I'll take you to visit the pellet mill in the afternoon."

Lin Zhiyuan agreed immediately.

The mined iron ore cannot be directly smelted in the blast furnace. It must first be beneficiated, ground into powder, and made into pellets.

Pelletization is an important process used to convert powdery mineral raw materials into bulk materials with certain physical and chemical properties. As blast furnace charge, pellets are crucial to steel production.

Moreover, pellets are also more convenient for shipping.

After lunch, Costa took Lin Zhiyuan to visit the pellet mining plant.

Vale is indeed one of the world's top iron ore producers and exporters, and the equipment in its mines is very advanced.

Lin Zhiyuan watched the entire production process and was very satisfied with it all.

"Mr. Costa, Lesteel is preparing to purchase a batch of pellets produced by Vale, and our team is rushing here. At the same time, another steel company in China, Shanghai Iron and Steel, is also preparing to come here for inspection. If nothing goes wrong, , the two of us will sign a purchase agreement with Vale at the same time."

The old handsome guy smiled happily, "Lin, I have to admit that you are a very discerning person. Believe me, choosing the iron mine in Samba Country is the most correct thing you have ever done."

After visiting the pellet mining plant, Lin Zhiyuan took a helicopter and returned to Rio again.

The next few days were uneventful. Lin Zhiyuan was waiting for the arrival of Wei Ning and Hai Gangqing.

There was no movement from Louisa's side, as if they suddenly lost interest in Lin Zhiyuan.

One morning, Louisa suddenly knocked on Lin Zhiyuan's door.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you are interested in visiting Rio and seeing the real Rio."

What should come will always come. Lin Zhiyuan knew that these financial giants would not let him go until they got what they wanted. Even though the situation was calm now, there was actually an undercurrent surging behind it.

It’s okay if you don’t want to go. This is Rio after all. Don’t forget how Zhang Feng disappeared.
