Mineral resources were divided into three prices.
Market price, cheap price, and cabbage price!
Back then, Hua Xia didn't realize the importance of rare earth minerals and was still complacent at the price of a few dollars per kilogram. She sold them in large quantities to earn extra money. There were also countless illegal businessmen who relied on stealing rare earth minerals to become rich.
Foreign media at the time jokingly called it "cheaper than pork."
Fortunately, Hua Xia reacted in time. This reaction took a few years. How long would General Maups take?
"Concentrate ore … or raw ore?" General Maups's voice trembled heavily. Minerals were divided into raw ore and concentrate ore. Some minerals couldn't be refined into a ton of concentrate ore even after several tons.
"Raw ore." In the company's office, Ye Qing's tone didn't change, but his face was slightly red.
"Mr. Ye, you're too generous. I thank you on behalf of the entire Anut."
"You're welcome …"
"Wait, Mr. Ye, the monazite minerals and copper-uranium mica you mentioned, I just logged into the London Metal Exchange website and checked the ore prices …" In the office, General Maups, who had just praised Mr. Ye's generosity, turned from black to white in the blink of an eye.
London Metal Exchange, today's price for high-grade uranium ore was 25 US dollars per pound.
The various rare metal elements separated from monazite were quoted as high as hundreds of thousands of US dollars, or even millions of US dollars per ton. And the trading shares were also sold by the pound. There wasn't that much supply by the ton.
This, this …
Damn, do you have to keep up with the times?! Ye Qing cursed in his heart.
Fortunately, Ye Qing had already prepared an excuse. "That's the price of high-purity fine ore powder. It requires technical means to separate the rare elements contained in monazite."
"The raw material of monocrystalline silicon is just a pile of quartz sand, but do you know how much technology and cost is required to turn sand into monocrystalline silicon?"
"Then … what about uranium ore?" General Maups had studied in Europe, so of course, he could understand the introduction of uranium ore on the London Metal Exchange.
Those were all raw ores, sold by the pound!
"Copper-Uranium mica is a high-radiation mineral. Do you know how difficult it is to mine? Moreover, these minerals are associated with the monazite that we need. The difficulty of mining them will be world-class. "
General Mopu could also understand this principle after being popularized. However …
However, the difference in price between the two seemed to be too shocking. However, if one looked at the history of the world, or the history of Hua Xia, one would find that the situation of selling minerals at a low price was often accompanied by the prerequisite that the situation was not as good as others.
General Maups was also faced with such a situation. He didn't know if these minerals were sold for cabbage prices, sand prices, or conscience prices. This was the power of industrialization. It could transform any seemingly ordinary resource into expensive technological products that could drive the development of the world.
However, General Maups knew that no matter the price, he had to sell it.
Moreover, Mr. Ye had even helped so many of the modernization projects in the Anut region for free.
…
At noon, Hua Xia time, in the Monster Industries building, the employees of each department received a notice from their superiors.
This notice was a bit special. It took the form of voluntary registration. It planned to select 100 employees from the applicants to work abroad in Nigeria, Africa.
This year, Internet consulting was developed. Although everyone had not been to Nigeria, or even to Africa. But after a search on the Internet, they all knew what Nigeria looked like.
What the hell was Nigeria …
It was an extremely poor country in the bottom 50 of the annual global economic ranking of countries published by the United Nations Economic Survey Organization. It was listed as one of the least recommended countries by the National Tourism Administration of Hua Xia. It was evaluated by the United Nations Health Organization as one of the countries with the worst per capita medical standards.
Monster Industries wanted to send employees to such a place to help the company build a large modern factory and a variety of basic industrial facilities?
For a time, the entire company's employees were in a heated discussion. While everyone complained about the poor environment of Nigeria, they envied the triple salary allowance for going abroad and a lot of welfare policies listed in the notice document.
In addition to those highlighted by Ye Qing, the personnel department also added twelve additional benefits on the basis of the treatment of people going abroad in other large domestic companies.
Medical treatment was free, any transportation expenses incurred during the period of being stationed abroad were free, accident insurance was increased to five million yuan, and strong security was promised. Anyone who went abroad could apply to the logistics leader every month for domestic goods rationed at a price of no more than 2,000 yuan. If they gave up their personal vacation of one month a year, they could also apply to the company for relatives and spouses to visit relatives in Nigeria. All expenses incurred during this period were waived.
With so many benefits, not to mention the adventurous young employees, even the older ones, and even the delicate female employees, wanted to apply for a job at the Human Resources Department!
How was this going abroad to work? It was clearly going abroad to make a fortune!
According to the description of the benefits, as long as they went abroad, they could work as much as they liked without spending a penny. Originally, the company's treatment level of Monster Industries was much higher than that of other peers. If they received three times the salary, wouldn't they be able to directly buy a house and a car after returning to China two years later?
It was a pity that this notice document had been marked with a red line only for male employees over the age of 20 and under the age of 35, putting an end to the dream of female employees.
When the company went to work at 2: 30 in the afternoon, a group of single young male employees went to the registration office of the personnel department. It doesn't matter if it's hard, just take it as an experience. When they came back, they were winners in life. They believed that Monster Industries, since they dared to list those benefits, they would be able to do it.
At the same time, General Maups, who was far away in Nigeria, was also urgently organizing a recruitment plan.
At the same time, Ye Qing, who had returned to the factory, was also urgently preparing to go to Nigeria.
Ye Qing decided to take the Peregrine Falcon, which had returned, to Nigeria early tomorrow morning. In addition to signing an effective and legal official mining transfer document with General Maups immediately, Ye Qing would also take more professional equipment to the surroundings of the Sotu Rainforest to explore the production of monazite and copper-uranium mica.
On the phone, Ye Qing had already given General Maups a command. Tomorrow, he must get the mining transfer document signed and sealed by the Nigerian government.
As long as there was this official document, Monster Industries would stand on the side of the law. As General Maups worried, the monazite mines and copper-uranium mica mines around the Sotu Rainforest could not be kept secret forever.
After the mining of mineral resources, Monster Industries could not hide the source of large amounts of metal dysprosium. At the same time, Monster Industries could not only refine one kind of metal dysprosium. Monazite, yttrium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium and other metal elements, which were also valuable, should also be refined.
The core requirement of the United Nations member states is not to interfere in its domestic politics. Even if no one below the stage takes this seriously, with this clause here, it is destined that those who want to have the idea of the mining areas around the Sotu Rainforest can only do it behind the scenes.
If they don't come, then forget it. Which blind guy dares to have the idea?
Monster Industries will let them understand the fear from the power of Monster Industries!
