Chapter 1242 Giant Copper and Cobalt Mine
“Discover a mineral deposit！”
“Coordinates: Giant Copper and Cobalt Mine in Congo, Africa”
“Mineral deposit type: top copper and cobalt metal.”
“Quantity: 28 million tons of copper and 3 million tons of cobalt.”
“This is the world’s largest undeveloped copper and cobalt deposit.”
I'm going! Get rich！
Jiang Siming was pleasantly surprised. The Carlin-type gold mine in Guizhou had already made him a fortune..
At that time, 300 tons of Carlin-type gold mines were worth more than 30 billion..
Now, there are 28 million tons of copper ore, and 3 million tons of cobalt ore.
Please understand, this is not 2800 tons, but 28 million tons！
After getting the mineral detector before, Jiang Siming went out to check a lot of information and values about various ores and metals..
Let’s talk about copper ore first. Generally, copper ore needs to be refined. About seven tons of copper ore can refine one ton of copper..
2800Ten thousand tons of copper ore means 4 million tons of copper.
One ton of copper is worth about 50,000.
Then the value of these 4 million tons of copper is about 200 billion！
This is not the most valuable thing. What surprised Jiang Siming the most was these 3 million tons of cobalt ore.！
Cobalt is a metal with stable properties and high melting point. It is the basic material for manufacturing high-quality alloys such as heat-resistant alloys, cemented carbide, and anti-corrosion alloys..
And it is widely used in aviation and machinery manufacturing industry. It is a strategic material with extremely high status..
Let's put it this way, this stuff is very expensive. And it's very scarce. In a place as big as China, the amount of cobalt is less than 100,000 tons, so you know how rare it is..
300Ten thousand tons, that will be a treasure coveted by all the powerful countries in the world.！
The value of one ton of cobalt is around 300,000, and it is rising every year.
300Ten thousand tons, that is 900 billion！
The total value of this mineral deposit is in the trillions！
And this thing cannot be measured in terms of money. It is a strategic resource. Whoever has it is awesome..
Jiang Siming almost laughed out loud, but he quickly came to his senses.
This mineral deposit is in Congo, Africa..
Why can he get the mining rights? If it were in China, it would be okay, but in Africa, he doesn't have any connections or connections..
Why do the Congolese people allow him to mine such an important mine?.
The only way is to cooperate with the Chinese authorities first.
After all, Jiang Siming cannot eat such a large mine by himself. Besides, the Congo side is relatively chaotic, with mercenaries and fighting everywhere..
Without a big backer, the lives of the mining crews sent by him would not be guaranteed..
But it would be much safer if our Chinese military was covering us..
Jiang Siming asked Daidai and Tuantuan to watch TV by themselves for the time being, while he immediately ran upstairs and called the old man Tianzhu.
I told him about this matter, but the old man from Tianzhu said that it was not his responsibility and asked him to find No. 1.
Jiang Siming wondered if it was a bit too abrupt and disturbing for him to call No. 1 like this. After all, No. 1 had many things to do every day..
I tentatively made a call, and the guard at No. 1 answered the call first. After I explained my identity, the guard said that I had to ask No. 1 first..
Unexpectedly, Number 1 picked up the call soon..
Lao Jiang secretly rejoiced that he was still very good..
I reported the matter to No. 1 truthfully, and No. 1 was very interested in hearing it..
“Xiaojiang, if this is true, you have made a great contribution to GJ.”
Jiang Siming said with a smile: "I actually want to find a backer for myself..”
“Hahaha, I like your frankness. If it comes to pass, I don’t want you to share it, but you have to sell all these copper and cobalt to us. Can you do it?？”
“no problem! "Jiang Siming readily agreed. He just wanted to sell for money. If he sells to any country, why not sell to his own country?".
“Okay, I'll let the professional department contact you. I have a meeting right now, so let's not talk about it for now. I'll come to Kyoto when I have time and I'll treat you to dinner..”
“Okay." Jiang Siming hung up the phone happily and took a look, what is your rank? Do you understand?？
Soon, a call came from the Secretary of Energy.
Jiang Siming briefly communicated with the other party. They were very cooperative and took the initiative to take risks..
There happened to be Chinese mining staff in the Congo. The minister said that the people there should first go to the place mentioned by Jiang Siming to explore..
When the detection results come out, we will immediately contact the Congolese government to obtain the mining rights..
The results came out within two days. After testing, the staff there confirmed that there was a giant copper-cobalt mine there..
The minister was also very happy and immediately contacted the Congolese government to get the mining rights..
But the trouble is that Congo is suffering from a locust plague and has no time to take care of this matter. We can only postpone it for the time being and wait until the locust problem is solved before discussing the mining rights..
This doesn't matter, but the key point is that Japan happened to follow the Chinese personnel who went to explore the mineral deposits, and secretly discovered this copper-cobalt mine..
This is troublesome. Japan is bound to get this copper and cobalt mine..
Both sides are waiting for the locust plague to end. Once it ends, the two sides will have to compete for the mining rights of this copper and cobalt mine..
What the minister meant was to ask Jiang Siming if he would choose to cooperate with Japan and mine together.？
Jiang Siming refused without thinking. Are you kidding? The mineral deposits I detected were discovered by these little Japanese tricks and tracking..
Do you want to cooperate? Bah! No door.
But Jiang Siming didn't agree, so he could only wait. In the end, he got the Congolese government's will and gave it to whomever he said..
No way, who told the mineral deposits to be discovered there?.
Jiang Siming suddenly remembered something! Pesticide！
yes！
Isn’t Congo being attacked by a locust plague that has never happened in a century? If we mass-produce pesticides now and give them to the Congolese government for free, we can drive away the locusts for them..
In this way, it is equivalent to making the Congolese government owe itself a big favor..
After all, they are almost running out of food and people are starving to death. Do they still care about the mineral deposits?.
As soon as Jiang Siming and the minister worked together, the minister cooperated unconditionally and gave Jiang Siming free use of a large pesticide manufacturing factory to start full-scale production of this special insecticide..
Because the production of this insecticide is very simple, with the entire factory working day and night, millions of boxes of the special insecticide were shipped to Congo and various places in Africa that were affected by locust plagues..
Free gift, no charge.
The total production cost of these millions of boxes is less than one billion, but they meet the needs of locust eradication throughout Africa..
African people used this insecticide and were surprised to find that it was extremely lethal to locusts.！
Almost one bottle can wipe out locusts in a village! After using this pesticide in many villages, the locusts died overnight..
When I woke up the next day, the farmer's field was full of locust corpses. These corpses became the best fertilizer for the farmer's soil..
Moreover, this pesticide does no harm to crops and will not damage the environment..
