Chapter 1198: Field trips

If there are several optional targets, Wang Xudong probably will not have such suspicions.
Among the materials that Sam Stendi gave out was only the introduction of a small rare earth mine, rather than multiple rare earth mines, which made Wang Xudong a certain amount of suspicion. Maybe Sam Stendi didn't think of this. He thought he had done a good job, but actually ignored this point. He didn't come up with multiple rare earth mines, but only one.
While Wang Xudong sneered in his heart, he also left an eye on him, but he didn't show it on his face. It seemed that he was looking through the information extremely seriously and was listening to Sam Stendi's introduction.
After reading the information and listening to the introduction, Wang Xudong said: "Mr. Sam Stendi, this rare earth mine is not very good."
Liang Hongbo even said: "The scale is very small, and the reserves are relatively small. According to the ratio of 10 to 1, the special steel of'Super Metal No. 1'you can buy from Sanlian Special Steel Group is very limited."
Sam Standy apparently thought about his remarks in advance, and quickly said: "This is only our first cooperation, and there will be a second and third time in the follow-up. First, this rare earth mine will be used as an exchange condition from Sanlian. Special Steel Group purchased the first batch of special steel, and if possible, we can continue to cooperate in the future."
If it's just the first cooperation, it would make sense.
Wang Xudong didn’t delve into this matter either, and waved his hand:
The data shows that the resource reserves of this rare earth mine are about 156,000 tons. According to the ratio of 10 to 1, you can buy 15,600 from Sanlian Special Steel Group. Tons of'Super Metal No. 1'special steel."
"No, no." Sam Stendi shook his head quickly.
The focus of this negotiation is the issue of proportions. He naturally would not agree to this 10 to 1 ratio. No, he shook his head immediately.
"Mr. Wang, the ratio of 10 to 1 is a bit too exaggerated. We think the ratio of 1 to 1 is more appropriate."
Asking prices all over the sky and paying back on the ground. It seems that Sam Stendi also knew the essence of this point, and immediately reduced the ratio from 10 to 1 to 1: 1, which was a 10 times reduction.
This is the focus of negotiations between the two parties.
Wang Xudong said: "1 to 1 is absolutely impossible. If you follow this ratio, it means that Sanlian Special Steel Group will sell you 156,000 tons of this special steel. This is absolutely impossible. We can make Appropriate concession, 9.5 to 1, can not be lower."
Wang Xudong is not stupid, he is very clever, knowing little by little, only reduced by 0.5, reducing the ratio from 10 to 1 to 9.5 to 1, instead of 9 to 1, or 8 to 1.
You come and I talked for a long time, very intense.
In the end, the stalemate was held. Wang Xudong dropped to 6 to 1, and Sam Stendi insisted on 3 to 1. The gap between the two sides was a bit big.
Liang Hongbo even proposed that the rare earth resource reserves of this mine were unilaterally proposed by Sam Standy. Whether the specific amount is 156,000 tons or not has yet to be determined.
Wang Xudong also knew that the 156,000 tons of data might have a lot of water, and began to study it deeply. Facing Wang Xudong's in-depth study, Sam Stendi blushed and was very embarrassed.
It’s okay if you haven’t been studied deeply, and you may be fooled. Sam Standy’s mind is to get through. He hopes to get some more shares and can buy more of this special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group. .
There is no way to hide it.
Sam Standy admits shamelessly: "This is the evaluation data 10 years ago. After years of mining, the resource reserves of this rare earth mine should be about 100,000 tons."
100,000 tons is only a rough estimate, there may not be 100,000 tons yet.
It dropped from 156,000 tons to 100,000 tons at once. Wang Xudong felt refreshed, and he didn't mean to go further. The specific 100,000 tons or 90,000 tons were of little significance to Wang Xudong.
The main problem is proportion.
Wang Xudong said: "Then charge 100,000 tons."
Sam Standy was overjoyed and even asked incredulously: "Are you not conducting comprehensive exploration and evaluation to determine the true reserves of rare earth resources?"
Wang Xudong waved his hand and said, "This time, I believe you, it's 100,000 tons."
For Wang Xudong, there is no need to be very accurate about the resource reserves, and there is no need to conduct comprehensive exploration and evaluation there.
Wang Xudong just wants this mine, it doesn't matter how big or small it is.
As long as there is such a mine, even a small mine, it can be transformed into a super rare earth mine with huge reserves in Wang Xudong's hands.
It would be unfavorable for Wang Xudong to conduct a thorough and detailed exploration. Because Wang Xudong will gather a large amount of rare earth resources there in the future.
If you have done a thorough and careful exploration, there are not many rare earth resources there. There will be a large amount of rare earth resources in the future. There is no explanation. This is the reason why Wang Xudong does not want to conduct comprehensive exploration.
Wang Xudong even asked, "Mr. Sam Standy, 100,000 tons is just your estimation. This rare earth mine has not been fully explored, right, but it doesn’t matter. We accept this data, it is 100,000 tons."
Sam Stendi admitted: "This is only a small-scale rare earth mine. Previously, it was mined by a small mining company. They did not conduct comprehensive exploration of rare earth resources in that area. They just did a hasty exploration. Draw a conclusion that the rare earth resource reserves are 156,000 tons."
Wang Xudong didn't mean to delve into it, and when he accepted the figure of 100,000 tons, Sam Stendi also told the truth.
That is, this small rare earth mine has not been fully and carefully explored. In other words, if a large number of rare earths suddenly appear in the future, it can be explained, and it does not appear to be shocking.
The key is the question of proportion.
The two sides talked for a long time, two days in a row, and even some details were basically negotiated, but there was still no agreement on the issue of proportion.
Sam Standy insisted on a maximum of 4 to 1, which means they should be able to purchase 25,000 tons of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group.
Wang Xudong insisted on 6 to 1, which means he agreed to sell 16,700 tons of this special steel at most.
Finally, it was Wang Xudong's suggestion to go to this rare earth mine first, and after a field inspection, the two sides would sit down and continue talking.
This proposal, Sam Stendi can only accept.
In fact, Sam Standy wanted to get this deal done as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights, because he knew that this was actually a "waste mine". Even if Xudong Mining Group obtained the mining and operating rights of this mine, It is absolutely impossible to mine.
Precisely because he knew that such tricks were hidden, he naturally hoped to get things done as soon as possible and sign a series of agreement documents with Wang Xudong as soon as possible.
Wang Xudong's proposal is not excessive, on the contrary, it is reasonable.
Even the rare earth mine did not go to the site to inspect, and immediately signed a series of agreement documents, which seemed too hasty and unreasonable.
Facing Wang Xudong's proposal, Sam Stendi could only agree. So, Sam Standy said: "Mr. Wang, if it is convenient, we can set off as soon as possible, and I will personally take you to this rare earth mine for an investigation, and we will settle the matter as soon as possible."
Wang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Okay, then we will set off tomorrow."
That's it.
On the second day, Wang Xudong took his A380 plane and flew directly from Donghai City to a famous city in western Citi, accompanied by Sam Stendi and others.
After the plane landed in the west, taking a short break, Sam Stendi arranged the car to go to the western inland town nearest to the rare earth mine.
Liang Hongbo accompanied Wang Xudong. After all, this is related to the second rare earth mine of Xudong Mining Group, which is a major event. In addition, there is Lin Hu.
Riding in the car and looking at the scenery outside, Liang Hongbo said, "Brother Dong, to be honest, the road traffic in the western part of Citigroup is still good."
This is a very good tarmac road with first-class conditions and smooth and fast vehicles. Looking out of the car window, you can see the typical scenery of the western inland of Citi State, which is unique.
After two or three hours of driving, the car arrived at a small town called San Dino, which is the nearest town to the mining area. It is only a mere 20 to 30 kilometers away from the rare earth mine.
In the western inland, the land is typically large and sparsely populated. Small towns like this are rare in the western inland. Drive along the asphalt road with good conditions to enter the town.
Wang Xudong smiled and said, "It looks like the town is pretty good."
Liang Hongbo also said: "It is indeed a developed capitalist country, an inland town, and its environment and conditions are first-class."
The town is very clean and modern, without any mess, which makes people like it at first glance. Wang Xudong's impression of Citigroup is so-so, but his impression of this small town is really good.
The car stopped before the best western restaurant in the town. After getting off the car, Sam Stendi invited him: "Mr. Wang, let’s have a meal here first, and then go to the mining area to take a look~www.mtlnovel .com~ Take a field trip."
Seeing that this western restaurant looks good, Wang Xudong nodded and said, "Yes, I will eat first, and then go to the mining area in the afternoon."
Everyone walked into this western restaurant. Obviously, Sam Standy had done everything in advance, and there were no other guests in the western restaurant, waiting for Wang Xudong and others to arrive.
The western food is very rich and Wang Xudong is quite satisfied.
After the meal, Sam Stendi arranged the best hotel in town for Wang Xudong and Liang Hongbo to stay. The hotel is not big, but very clean, giving a warm feeling.
Anyway, it was only for one or two nights. Wang Xudong happily entered his room and had a rest. In the afternoon, everyone drove to the mining area together.
When riding in the car, when he was about to leave the town, Wang Xudong smiled, without thinking that the town had a railway station and it was connected to the railway.
What made Wang Xudong even more pleased was that this small-scale rare earth mine was actually connected to a railway, which connects to the main railway near the town and leads to the mining area.
It can be seen that because rare earth mines have not been mined for many years, this railway to the mining area has already been a little ruined, but it does not affect its use.
Liang Hongbo also discovered this, "Brother Dong, the previous information didn't say that the mining area was connected to a railway. I didn't think about it. There is a railway."
The previous introduction materials are relatively simple, and there is really no mention of this railway. The first sight of this railway gave Wang Xudong and Liang Hongbo a big surprise.
The road leading to the mining area is actually very good. Although there are only two lanes, it is a beautiful asphalt road, which is only 20 kilometers. In less than half an hour, a few cars gradually drive into the mining area.
Through the window glass, Wang Xudong can already see the rare earth mine ahead.
………
The third one is sent.
That's all for today's update, thank you everyone!
