Chapter 829 The problem of development
If you want to solve this problem, the best choice is to find a groundwater source that can only be used to supply the entire mining area for mine washing. Jiang Feng remembers that the groundwater source was found here at that time, and now you also need to find a professional water supply force to explore, in order to find the water source early to solve this big problem. Otherwise, you can only mine the ore and take it to other places to dress the ore, which would be too expensive.
If you can find a groundwater source that can wash hundreds of thousands of tons of ore every day, as long as it can last for twenty or thirty years, it will be enough to make you laugh.
If it really doesn't work, it is also possible to consider finding a way to connect a waterway from China. It's just to spend more money, but compared with the income, it's still worth it. Even if you use pipes to divert water from 500 kilometers away to ensure water use in the mining area, it's not a big deal.
Another problem is to solve the problems of electricity supply and transportation. Jiang Feng has also formulated several plans for this.
In terms of transportation, one is to build a railway and connect it to China's railway network, and the other is to build a highway to China. Of course, any plan requires entering China through the Gashunsu Haitu Port in Khanbaogeda County, and there is no problem with this.
After Mongolia handled it, domestic affairs are easy to handle, but it is nothing more than an investment issue. The railway construction cost of a total length of only 200 kilometers is not much.
In terms of electricity, Jiang Feng has considered either building a thermal power plant with a power of 300,000 or 500,000 kilowatts here. Because there are also coal mines worth mining near this mining area, so don’t worry about the coal source problem.
In fact, in the South Gobi Province of Mongolia, there are rich mineral resources. In addition to the Oyutauri copper and gold mine, the Nalinsu Haitu coal mine in the South Gobi Province is 100 million tons, and the Taben Taolege coal mine has a reserve of no less than 5 billion tons, of which coking coal also has a reserve of 1.4 billion tons. The Chagansubu Yuga sulfate mine in the East Gobi Province is about 60 million tons. These minerals are worth developing.
In the past, Mongolia did not have the biggest obstacle to the development of these areas, which was the transportation problem. Because of the Sino-Soviet and Sino-Mongolia, the Nantong route was blocked. If it was transported north, the construction of the entire railway and highway would take time, labor and funds, so the Soviets would naturally not do such things because they did not lack resources and did not need to waste this energy.
The Mongolians were unwilling to bow to the Chinese, and their population base was small and it was not worth building a lot of construction for this matter, so they did not consider developing the minerals here.
As for other foreigners, it is not easy to deal with the relationship between Russia, Mongolia and China at the same time, so the mineral deposits near the China-Mongolia border have not been developed for a long time.
Now that Jiang Feng has found this good opportunity for development, he naturally cannot let it go. In fact, the most ideal solution in his mind is to build a transportation system that can be connected to railways and highways in China.
After the embassy learned about Jiang Feng’s idea, the people immediately actively contacted the country. The relevant domestic departments seemed very active in this regard and immediately gave two plans for road and railway.
The road plan is: one is to build the China-Mongolia border highway from Ulaanbaatar-Tabentaolege-Oyutaolege, and the other is to build the Ulaanbaatar-Zongmaodu-Mandu Lagobi-Tabentaolege-Oyutaolege-Gashunsu Haitu Port Highway, which mainly uses ready-made highway routes.
The railway plan is: First, the Xiutaben Tolege-Oyu Tolege-Gashunsu chart is connected to the Chinese railway and can directly enter the Chinese market. The problem here is that the current Season Port needs to be turned into a permanent port. The other is the Xiutaoge-Oyu Tolege-Chagansubu Yuga-Zongbayan and the main line of Mongolia. The disadvantage is that the distance is too long and the cost is too high.
Jiang Feng is not difficult to see from these plans that the southern provinces and regions of Mongolia must take into account the Chinese factors. The mining of the mine must be supported by China, otherwise it will definitely not be possible. In this way, it is necessary to ensure that China is the largest market for Mongolia's mineral exports. If it were not for this, the cost would be too high.
"No wonder no one is willing to come here to develop it. Without considerable energy, you can't handle such a thing at all." Jiang Feng thought to himself.
Even Australians and Canadians have considered this, but when they think it is too troublesome to open up China relations, they eventually give up, especially before they can explore enough attractive resources, it is even more impossible for them to make investment decisions hastily.
As for another point, Mongolia is still relatively small in foreign investment today, hundreds of thousands or millions are rare, not to mention big wealthy men like Jiang Feng who claim to invest billions of dollars as soon as they open their mouths.
Jiang Feng stayed in Mongolia for twenty days. When he was tired of stewed lamb roasted lamb legs and lamb dumplings, he felt that he was about to turn into a sheep, and the major events had basically been settled.
The relevant Mongolian institutions, Jiang's consortium and Russia and China's portals organized a signing ceremony together, witnessing the cooperation between Mongolian government and Jiangfeng's Jiang's consortium reached on mineral resource development.
After Jiang Feng identified the scope of the mining area and determined the company's address, he began to send employees to form a company, recruit employees, and prepare various pre-development preparations. At the same time, he asked for help from the country, hoping to provide the water force and geological exploration team with the government.
This matter was easily reached. Jiang Feng's request was raised, and the military sent him more than a dozen exploration teams and two water supply troops to help.
Jiang Feng was a little surprised about this matter, but he immediately understood the truth.
Although the return problem between China and Mongolia is unlikely, it does not mean that the country does not want to improve the transportation conditions here. Once something happens in the future, it is not impossible to go deep into Mongolia. At that time, road and railway facilities are required, or various facilities for personnel to provide water supply. Otherwise, it will be more difficult if the team solves it themselves.
After all, this matter also coincides with the military's strategic layout. Now with this opportunity, how could they not be more positive?
Of course, if there were a different period, Mongolia would not agree to do so, after all, this would directly threaten their safety issues.
In fact, Jiang Feng once thought seriously that Mongolia has never returned to China. Another important reason is that it acts as a natural barrier between China and Russia. Although the Soviet Red Army withdrew from Mongolia after the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations. Until now, there is only a small amount of military armed forces in Mongolia, Russia and China have both abide by the previous agreement and do not seek absolute control over Mongolia.
In this way, there will be a strategic buffer zone between China and Russia, and both sides will feel more at ease. Otherwise, if Mongolia becomes the territory of any China and Russia, the border between two major military powers will suddenly increase by more than 4,000 kilometers, which will cause a great security risk. The invisible military force required to be invested will make both major powers feel unbearable.
From this perspective, the current situation is still in line with the overall interests of both parties.
Of course, if you do some tricks in the name of economic development, it will not cause a strong backlash from the people. After all, this reason is reasonable. Without transportation conditions, can the mined minerals be fed to cows and sheep?
In fact, both Russians, Mongolians, or other foreigners were a little sneered at the Jiang family's consortium's purchase of 40,000 square kilometers of exploration rights and before development.
Geological exploration is different from ordinary things. It does not mean that after you encircle the land, you will be able to explore resources, especially mineral resources with investment value.
Now Jiang Feng chose the place that was Mongolia, the former Soviet Union, Australia's **hp company and other parties have investigated and found a place with no development value. This is a completely foolish behavior in everyone's eyes. I don't understand why Jiang Feng made such a stupid decision.
Because some of the exploration places that Jiang Feng chose before did explore huge amounts of minerals, but many places had nothing to gain, so these people think that Young Master Jiang is now starting to be stupid again. However, the cost in the past was relatively small, and this time he filled in billions of dollars of huge funds.
However, who said Jiang Da Shao has more money? The net worth of 400 to 500 billion US dollars is just a fun thing. If they are willing, they are of course happy to be laughed at.
Another very important question is that it takes a lot of time for geological personnel to explore. Jiang Feng suddenly purchased the area exploration rights of 40,000 square kilometers. How many personnel, equipment and time does it take to complete the exploration?
However, everyone ignored one thing. In addition to its own employees, the resources that Jiang's consortium can use at any time are backed by the entire Chinese military, so it is really a problem to randomly pull out a few thousand exploration teams. Even if you hire a domestic geological exploration team, there is nothing that can't be done.
It is precisely because of this reason that Jiang Feng has the confidence to win 40,000 square kilometers of geological exploration rights without any scruples. Of course, his wealth is also an important reason.
Isn't Microsoft able to withstand the high fines of millions of dollars a day because it is rich? If you change to any other software company, you will be unable to withstand the immediate bankruptcy.
With the development of various projects in Mongolia, the Jiang Consortium has absorbed thousands of retired soldiers and formed a factory protection team, which is distributed in various mining areas to which the company belongs to, to ensure the safety of its employees' lives and property.
Of course, although weapons and equipment were obtained from Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, they were all approved by Mongolian government and axe. For this reason, Jiang Feng bribed millions of dollars to senior executives in some departments of Mongolia. But no matter what, the investment is really worth mentioning compared to the investment in Africa. (To be continued.)
