When Sheng Wenyan heard the news, he personally rushed to Nigeria to deal with it.
At the mine, the official of the Nigerian Ministry of Land and Resources, Esmidara, came to inspect with a few colleagues.
Lin Zhiyuan was already prepared. If it was a normal procedure, there should be no problem with the inspection.
"Mr. Esmidara, respected leaders, welcome to our mine for inspection." Lin Zhiyuan greeted them warmly through the translation software.
But Esmeidara and the others kept a straight face and looked like they were going about their business. They were patrolling the mine and were very strict in all aspects.
After a round of inspection, Esmidara began to find problems. He could point out many aspects that were not up to standard.
"These are not up to standard. The environmental problems are the most serious!" Esmidara said. "In our regulations, the local ecological environment must be protected when mining minerals, and you have not met this requirement at all!"
Lin Zhiyuan and the others could only smile and explain, but the other party did not care about their explanations. Mining minerals would definitely destroy the ecological environment. The key was what standards were met, the environmental restoration after mining, and so on.
In fact, everything in Guangtu Mining had been according to the standards, but if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. If the other party wanted to find fault, they could not be impeccable.
Esmidara and the others left, and then they brought a rectification order, requiring Guangtu Mining to rectify within a certain time, or they would be severely punished!
Their intentions were already very obvious. Guangtu Mining's mining rights in this mine were probably going to be lost.
"Joyce, we have already given them a rectification order. When the time is up, we will take back their mining rights on the grounds of destroying the ecological environment! "Esmidara wrote to Joyce." Then, Rio Tinto can apply for mining. "
"Thank you very much. When this is done, I will personally thank you and your friends in the government!" Joyce promised him benefits.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, this will be done. You can prepare to take over the mine!" Esmidara promised confidently.
..
In the mine, Guangtu Mining Group, who had received the rectification order, was also actively responding.
"How is the mining progress now?" Sheng Wenyan asked.
Lin Zhiyuan's face was not worried at all. Instead, he said proudly, "CEO Sheng, we originally planned to mine for twenty years, then accelerated to ten years. Now, we've only used one year to extract 70% of the planned amount! "
"In this mine, we've already mined all the iron ores with high metal content, such as ilmenite. The rest of the ores were of lower quality and were not worth much. It can be said that we have completely recovered our costs and even made a huge profit! "
"I have to say, the mining equipment you bought from Hongxin Group is too advanced! Especially that mining robot, it's so worrisome. "
"Alright." Sheng Wenyan was relieved and said, "Now we can start to wrap up the work. After working for so long, we can let everyone go back to China to rest for a while."
"Alright, I've been wanting to go back to China for a long time! I wonder how President Xin and the others would react if they knew that we've progressed so quickly! "
When it was time for the rectification, Esmeidara and the others came to inspect the mine again. Everything was as they had expected. The mine had done a good enough job before, and they could not meet the standards of rectification they had requested.
"I regret to inform you, Mr. Sheng Wenyan. The mine operated by Guangtu Mining Group in our country did not meet our environmental protection requirements, so we will adjust the mining rights of this mine, "Esmeidara said with a 'regretful' expression.
He had thought that Sheng Wenyan and the others would be angry and argue with them, or even sue for rights. However, everything was not as he had expected. The people of Guangtu Mining Group were very calm and said with the same 'regret', "We have tried our best to protect the local ecological environment during the mining process. If this still does not meet the standards, it may be that your requirements are too harsh."
"We doubt this and hope that your department can adjust the policy so that our foreign investors can have a fair and just market environment. As for the punishment decision, our group reserves the right to appeal."
They spoke righteously, but it was hard to see anger and disappointment on their faces. This made Esmeidara a little confused. If they took back their mining rights, they would lose at least ten billion. Did they not care about such a loss?
"CEO Sheng, you have to know that this is not a decision I can make alone." Esmeidara was still trying to shift the blame and said, "This is the department's regulations, and I am also following the regulations. We are also keen to create a fair market environment for investors and entrepreneurs in your country, but we also hope that you will abide by our country's legal system. "
Both sides pretended to be polite. One expressed its fair position and serious punishment decision, while the other expressed its desire to protect rights and interests.
Of course, the result did not change much. A few days later, the Department of Land and Resources of Kaduna State announced that Guangtu Mining Group from Huaxia had seriously damaged the ecological environment during the mining process of mineral resources and did not implement the ordered rectification. Therefore, according to the local law, Guangtu Mining Group's mining rights were revoked.
After the news was released, Guangtu Mining Group made a statement in response, saying that they were law-abiding and "deeply regretful" about the punishment measures. They fully launched the mining industry in the area, hoping to have a fair and just business environment in the future.
This matter affected both sides. The punishment decision in Nigeria made some international investors shrink back from the local mining industry, and because of this news, Guangtu Mining Group's stock price fell by five percent.
In China, Guangtu Mining Group held an early meeting to discuss this matter.
"CEO Xin!" Before the meeting started, Xin Zhe arrived at the meeting room early. All the higher-ups who came in greeted him, including those who were very important in the group.
Xin Zhe nodded to them one by one. The content of today's meeting would be projected for the company's directors. As for him, he already had a well-thought-out plan.
The group had suffered heavy losses in the African market, all because of Sheng Wenyan's mistake. The company's stock price had fallen, and the directors would definitely be very dissatisfied. Today's meeting was the day to reflect on this mistake and let Sheng Wenyan step down!
And he, Xin Zhe, had already received the approval of most of the executives to take over Sheng Wenyan's position as CEO and become the helmsman of this billion-dollar company!
The executives arrived one after another. Even those who could not be there temporarily connected to the meeting through the projection.
