According to the agreement signed by China and Tanzania, China enjoys priority in Tanzania's mineral resource exploration, mining and development, and Tanzania has no restrictions on the relevant applications submitted by China. In any case, after the mineral resources are developed, Tanzania will receive 50% of the total cost through taxes, profit sharing, etc. This is a generous condition that no Western company will promise.

In fact, in the past, it would be good that the authorities could obtain 20 to 30% of the actual value of these mineral resources from companies in Western countries. Of course, this is also the reason why Tanzanian people insist on conducting close strategic cooperation with China, because in this matter, the Chinese not only have an attractive interest distribution case, but also have a complete plan for promoting local economic development through mining mineral resources. This is undoubtedly the most sufficient to show sincerity.

After the central government clearly showed up, Cai Siqiang was full of confidence and was ready to show his strength in Tanzania first. He now has Oriental Mining in his hand, and after receiving the verbal promise from Vice Premier Wu, he now has the People's Liberation Army's military guarantee to ensure the security of investment in Tanzania. In this case, what else should I worry about?

Therefore, Cai Siqiang instructed his subordinates to take substantial steps. First, let the survey team enter Tanzania for resource exploration, and then discuss the subsequent investment issues based on the exploration results. It can be said that no matter how large it is, Oriental Mining has enough capital to develop.

Who knew that Cai Siqiang's men were turned away at this first juncture.

"According to regulations, we are currently not opening up private enterprises to conduct large-scale mineral resource explorations over 5,000 square kilometers in Africa," When Oriental Mining staff found relevant departments to apply for exploration permits in Tanzania, they received such a cold answer. "According to the two cooperation agreements between China and Tanzania, large-scale mineral resource development in Tanzania must be approved first by China and Tanzania. At present, according to the documents and instructions of the National Development and Reform Commission, private enterprises are not currently within the list of licensing companies that can conduct large-scale exploration."

Cai Siqiang didn't expect to get such a result, as if he was thrown into a basin of cold water. After working hard for a long time, it turned out that Vice Premier Wu was too disconnected from the bottom of the house, and the relationship between the two has not been completed yet. This time difference is a little too long in Cai Siqiang's opinion.

Cai Siqiang thought this way but was a little unfair to Vice Premier Wu. This matter originally had only a framework for a big plan. In the eyes of the National Development and Reform Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, since it is a national strategic development, of course, national enterprises are the main force. Private enterprises can only be a supplementary role here. Of course, few of them have thought about how to solve the funding problem if all national enterprises are allowed to take action.

Maybe these things are too far away from them, so there is no need to think about them. That is something that only Vice Premier Wu and the others are worried about. They just need to follow the domestic mineral development practices and stop private enterprises from developing large-scale mineral resources.

However, after Cai Siqiang reported the situation, Vice Premier Wu couldn't help but feel headache when he heard this. At this time, Vice Premier Wu realized that he had been thinking too simplistically. This was not just a financial issue, but also a very important political issue.

This is a big question involving who should be the leader and who should be the second most important in the national economy.

Before Duke emerged, these problems were not very prominent. Although families like the old Li family were quietly appearing in various industries in China, they have never been as eye-catching as Duke's companies. As long as they enter an industry, this industry will soon become the world of Duke and his companies. So far, before they know it, Duke and his companies have become one of the few giants in the international computer and communications industry, nuclear energy industry, machine tool industry, automobile industry and special industrial raw materials. In the foreseeable future, Duke's military-industrial enterprises will also be a major giant in the world's military-industrial industry.

This makes those who insist on all walks of life and must focus on the national team. It is really hard to know who has the final say in the future. If Duke's industries were formed naturally by chance.

So today, when private consortiums led by Duke Capital Group can already call for the wind and rain and compete with the national font in a completely specific way, this relationship seems very subtle.

In the strategic decisions of the East China Sea Development and the South China Sea Development, although private consortiums have invested a large amount of funds, the subtle thing is that the actual control of these two giant companies is all in the hands of the government. Lao Li's family concentrated on the Oriental Group to invest huge amounts of money, which means that the two companies have the same board seats. Therefore, most of the capitals of these private consortiums only have the right to invest and distribute dividends, and cannot affect the operation of these two giant oil companies.

Today, Duke, a mining company established by private consortium, wants to act as the main force in African development, so this relationship makes Vice Premier Wu feel very difficult to deal with.

Regarding the preliminary idea that SAL was just investing in dividends and did not participate in the specific business process, Cai Siqiang and Eric both clearly refused. This is different from the large-scale oil development of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. A well on their own territory will have a profit. Anyway, the daily production of offshore oil platforms is there, and the country has underwritten all production capacity.

However, in the complex environment of Africa, development resources are much more complex, and the requirements for the management team are much higher. Judging from the experiences and lessons of national investment and development in overseas investment and development in the past, Cai Siqiang and Eric only saw the painful lessons of failures. It is really hard to reassure that this huge amount of money was handed over to them to make trouble.

"The government still has a natural vigilance towards capital groups like us." Eric said to Cai Siqiang at a weekly video conference. "I think this matter has been approved by Vice Premier Wu, but due to institutional reasons, I think there are still many troubles behind it. This matter seems to be a lot of good things. It will be a big deal if it ends up in Chengdu."

"What should we do now?" When talking about this, Cai Siqiang looked helpless, and his blood was already cold.

"Wait." Eric paused for a long time before these two words appeared.

Since this incident has caused taboos from some senior officials, it is very inappropriate to use their own influence to force the promotion, both SAL and Lao Li’s family. Even any unnecessary actions may cause negative effects, allowing the core decision-making level to make decisions that are more unfavorable to Oriental Mining. At this point, the sophisticated Eric saw it very clearly, although he had only said the word "wait".

Hearing this helpless ending that was just a surprise, Cai Siqiang had no choice but to shake his head.

Vice Premier Wu also heard the clear attitude of SAL. He sat alone in a very cold-blooded office, frowned and didn't feel uncomfortable, smoking cigarettes one after another, but he couldn't think of any good way to the current dilemma in his mind.

This kind of system problem, let alone he is still a vice premier, even if he joins the Standing Committee, he will have no choice.
