"CEO Sheng, if you don't mind me asking, is there any problem with your company's development in Africa? If it is a technical problem, we can work together. "Lu Zixin asked.
Sheng Wenyan thought for a while and said, "It's not something that can't be said. We, Guangtu Mining, have acquired two mines in Nigeria, and each mine is for thirty years. "
"One is a tin mine, and the other is an iron mine. According to the plan, there should not be any problems. But recently, we have received news that the mining rights of these two mines might be taken back by the local government! "
"Taken back? Is there a loophole in the procedures? "Lu Zixin asked.
Sheng Wenyan smiled bitterly and said, "No, we are strictly following the local regulations. They are learning European regulations, and it is more complicated than ours. We have spent what we should and should not spend. We have donated tens of millions of RMB for the aid! "
"But the political situation in that place is not stable. Even the established policies can be changed! " Sheng Wenyan said helplessly. "Now, they have recognized our mining rights, and the current government is the one who recognized it. The election will be held a year later. According to our information, if the few leaders who may be elected are elected, they will most likely take back our mining rights. For example, the 30-year mining rights that we bought will be forcibly shortened to three years, five years … I can't explain the interests involved in this in a sentence or two. It's not good for me to say some things. "
"But the result is that if we can't mine enough ores in this one year, we will have to give these two mines to the Nigerian government for free! We have spent a few years to develop these mines, and we will have to give them away! "
Chinese entrepreneurs had been doing business in China for a long time, and they are not familiar with foreign practices. They might be surprised to hear this. But in Africa, this is not the first time this happened. It happens often.
A few years ago, many Chinese entrepreneurs had gone to Africa to expand their market. In the end, because of the change of government, their management rights or mining rights were taken back, or they were fined by the new policies.
Guangtu Mining wanted to make preparations in advance to reduce the risks that they might face because of their experience.
"I see." Lu Zixin nodded. "But time is still a little tight."
"I don't have a choice. How much can we recoup?" Sheng Wenyan said. "Maybe we'll be lucky and our mining rights won't change after a year?"
"I hope you guys are lucky." Lu Zixin said, "In that case, I will ask the company to think of a way to prioritize your business and design and produce the new mechanical equipment as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, thank you, General Lu!" Sheng Wenyan hurriedly thanked him.
"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me," Lu Zixin said. "Actually, I also have something to trouble you with."
"Please go ahead."
"Guangtu Mining is very powerful, especially in the production of ores and other raw materials. And our Peng Yun Automobile and Peng Yun Machinery companies have a special need for metal raw materials. There was also Hongxin Group, which had a huge demand for high tech raw materials. The domestic market is basically saturated, and we are considering purchasing directly from Africa, or even mining the raw materials. "
"But we are not familiar with the raw material production areas, policies, and so on in Africa. Can we cooperate with you in these aspects?"
Before the negotiation, Lu Zixin had asked people to prepare the investigation materials in advance.
"Of course …" Sheng Wenyan agreed. He was worried that he did not have a strong partner.
The raw materials market in Africa was very huge. He was not afraid of competition, but that he did not have the strength to compete. Because of the problems left behind by Africa's history, the raw materials market in Africa was mainly occupied by British and French multinational companies. They were the real giants.
Although the economic status of the former European powers had declined, they still played an important role in the world economy.
In the African market, Chinese companies were really rookies in front of these British and French multinational companies.
And Hongxin Group was undoubtedly a new giant company on the world's economic stage. Sheng Wenyan was very willing to cooperate with Hongxin Group.
As for Lu Zixin, he had already investigated this matter. Guangtu Mining's business in Africa was the best among the Chinese companies. Since there was such a relationship, cooperation was a wise choice.
Since both parties were interested, the atmosphere of the negotiation was very harmonious. Lu Zixin immediately promised that he would personally supervise Pengyun Machinery to build an intelligent mining machine.
Sheng Wenyan also promised to cooperate with Hongxin Group in terms of raw materials. He would provide them with stable raw materials supply channels or help Hongxin Group enter the African market.

"Mining machine? It has to be efficient. I am not a mining machine. I am a combat type Cybertan! " In the private villa, Dongfang Hao emphasized. As he spoke, he drank a can of concentrated gasoline. This was his drink.
"Did you learn all those blueprints for nothing?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Dad, you have to understand." Dongfang Hao explained, "Even on Cybertan, there is a special classification for mining robots. It's that, yes, Megatron, boss Optimus Prime's archenemy. He started as a mining machine and then rebelled. "
"When you were born, you were still an iron head!" Lu Zixin said with disdain.
"Today is different from the past!" Dongfang Hao opened another can of gasoline, filling the house with the smell of gasoline. "Now, I am from the Liquid Metal Machinery race! Which one of the Cybertans has such a high-grade body like mine? Mining machines and whatnot, let the blockhead do it. "
"Zhang Qiang, can you do it?" Lu Zixin asked RI-8901.
In order to not arouse suspicion, RI-8901's appearance was a little different from before. His bionic skin had been treated more meticulously, and he even grew a beard. His burly figure looked like a big Russian man!
"Master, in my database, there are hundreds of designs for mining robots. According to different minerals, we can design different mining robots. I can even design a magic gem mine! "Zhang Qiang replied.
"Mining robot?" Lu Zixin originally thought that a mining machine would be enough. He did not expect RI-8901 to have mining robots.
"Let me see the information." Lu Zixin ordered.
"Yes, master." RI-8901 transferred the information to Red Xiaoxiao's quantum database. After being filtered by Red Xiaoxiao's AI, it was shown to Lu Zixin.
