Monster Factory - Chapter 682: Multi party preparation.
Mineral resources are divided into three prices, low prices, cheap prices, cabbage prices!
At that time, because China did not realize the importance of rare earth minerals, it was still complacent at the price of rare piles of the earth of a few dollars per kilogram and sold large numbers to earn extra money. There are also countless unscrupulous businessmen who rely on illegal rare earth mining to get rich and foreign media dubbed it “cheaper than pork” at the time.
Fortunately, China responded in time. It took several years for this to happen. I wonder how long it will take for General Mopu to understand that too?
“Concentrated ore… or raw ore?” General Mopu’s voice shook heavily. There is raw ore and concentrated ore. For some ores, a ton of concentrate can only be extracted from a few tons.
“Raw ore.” In the company office, Ye Qing’s tone remained unchanged, but her face was slightly flushed.
“Mr. Ye, you are so generous, and I thank you on behalf of the people of the entire Anute District.”
“You’re welcome…”
“Wait, Mr. Ye, for the monazite and copper uranium mica ores you mentioned, I just went to the London Metal Exchange website, the London Metal Exchange and checked the listing ore, I just found them rated at 6…” in the office, General Mopu, who just praised Ye Qing’s generosity, went from black to white in the blink of an eye.
……
On the London Metal Exchange, high-grade uranium ore is quoted at $25 a pound today.
Various rare metal elements isolated from monazite are today quoted up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions of dollars per ton. And the share of the transaction is also sold by the pound, and there is not so much supply by the ton.
……
“This is…”
“Damn, you want to keep up with the times!” Ye Qing said in his heart. Fortunately, he had already prepared a pretext: “This is the price of high-purity concentrate powder. We need to use technical means to separate the various rare elements contained in monazite. The raw material of single-crystal silicon does not is just a pile of quartz sand, but do you know how much technology and cost it takes to turn sand into mono-crystalline silicon?”
“So… what about the uranium mine?” General Mopu is also after studying abroad, of course. He can understand the value of uranium mines on the London Stock Exchange.
“These are raw ore, sold by the pound! Copper-uranium mica is a high-radiation mineral. Do you know how difficult it is to extract? In addition, these minerals are also associated with monazite which we need. The difficulty of extraction will be global.”
“But… but the price between the two seems to be too far apart.”
……
However, throughout the history of the world or the history of China, there has been a situation where minerals are sold at low prices, often accompanied by the premise that the situation is not as good as people. General Mopu was also faced with such a situation. He did not know if these minerals were sold at the price of cabbage, at the price of sand, or at the price of conscience.
It’s the power of industrialization, which can turn any seemingly mundane resource into the expensive technological products that drive the World’s Fair.
But General Mopu knew that no matter the price, he had to sell. Moreover, Mr. Ye breathed a sigh of relief inside him and will help him free of charge by doing so many modernization projects in Anute area.
……
Before noon Chinese time, in the Huge Industrial Monster Building, employees of various departments received notices from their superiors. This notice was a bit particular; it adopts the method of voluntary registration and plans to select 100 employees among the candidates to work abroad in Nigeria, in Africa.
In recent years, Internet consulting has reached its peak, although not everyone has ever been to Nigeria or even Africa. But an internet search shows what the Nigerian side looks like and everything comes out.
……
Nigeria is a ghost… It is an extremely poor country that ranks in the bottom 50 of the United Nations Economic Survey’s annual world economic rankings. It is listed as one of the least recommended countries by the National Tourism Administration of China, and it is ranked as one of the countries with the worst medical level per capita by the United Nations Health Organization.
The Huge Industrial Monster, wanted to send employees to this kind of place to help the company build a modern large factory and a variety of basic industrial facilities?
For a while, all of the company’s employees were caught up in a heated argument. At the same time, everyone was complaining about the impoverished environment of Nigeria, and at the same time envying the tripling of wage allowance for going abroad, and many of the social policies listed in the opinion document.
In addition to what Ye Qing mentioned, the Personnel Department also added 12 additional benefits inspired by other major domestic companies, in addition to the treatment for those who go overseas. Free medical care, no transportation costs during the overseas period, and accident insurance increased to five million Yuan, promising to provide a strong security guarantee. For those who go abroad, they can ask the logistics manager for rations of domestic products at a price of less than 2,000 Yuan every month. If they give up their personal vacation in January every year, they can also request the company for their relatives and spouses to visit them in Nigeria and all expenses incurred during the period are free.
The benefits were consecutive, not to mention the adventurous young employees, even many old, even delicately pretty employees, who want to go to the personnel department applied for this job! It wasn’t going abroad to work; it was clearly going abroad for money!
……
According to welfare guidelines, as long as you go abroad, you can work as much as you want without spending a penny. Originally, the salary level in the Huge Industrial Monster Company was much higher than that of other peers, and this will increase the salary three times. Isn’t it the pace of buying a house and a car directly after returning to China after two years?
It is a pity that this notification document was marked with a red line, which only concerns male employees over 20 and fewer than 35, ending the dream of female employees.
When the company went to work at 2:30 p.m., a group of young single male employees joined the personnel department registration desk. No matter how hard it is, they have the right to experience it for themselves. Come back a winner in life. They think that since the Huge Industrial Monster dared to list these benefits, they will be able to do them.
At the same time, General Mopu, who was far away in Nigeria, also urgently set up a recruitment plan.
At the same time, Ye Qing, who returned to the factory, also urgently prepared for work in Nigeria. He decided to leave in the Peregrine Falcon, which had already returned, to Nigeria early tomorrow morning. In addition to immediately signing a valid and legal official mining transfer document with General Mopu, he will also carry more professional equipment and travel to the surrounding rainforest of Sotu to explore the production of monazite and copper-uranium mica.
Over the phone, Ye Qing had already offered General Mopu a request for a mining transfer document signed and sealed by the Nigerian government. As long as there is this official document, the Huge Industrial Monster is on the side of the law, because General Mope was worried about this, the monazite and copper-uranium mica mines around the rainforest of Sotu could not be kept secret forever.
After mining the mineral resources, the Huge Industrial Monster would no longer need to conceal the source of the bulk metal dysprosium. At the same time, it is impossible for the Huge Industrial Monster to single-handedly refine Metallic Dysprosium. Metallic elements like yttrium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, and neodymium, which are also valuable in monazite, must also be extracted.
……
The basic requirement of UN member states is not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
……
Even if nobody below the scene takes it seriously, this clause was mentioned in the contract which will condemn those forces who want to make ideas about the mining areas around the Sotu rainforest they can only do things behind their backs and it’s so good if they don’t come, but there is still a guy who doesn’t open his eyes and who dares to decide to come, let him come and the Huge Industrial Monster will make him understand the fear of the power of the Huge Industrial Monster!
