Chen Cheng knew that the reason why he could earn such a high salary was naturally related to the large number of rare metal mines they have mined in large quantities recently.

For example, in recent times, they have been working continuously in this generation of sea areas.

Nearly 500,000 tons of cobalt concentrate sand have been mined. After these ore sands are dried and screened, they will become cobalt concentrate powder.

And these mineral powders can be bought in the country for more than 200,000 yuan in just one ton.

If it is purified and smelted into cobalt, that ton will cost hundreds of thousands.

What they mined was not only cobalt, but also nickel ore, and recently they also found a platinum ore.

These are all treasures, and they are very important strategic metal resources.

These resources are very scarce in our country, and even in the international market, they are all in short supply.

For example, cobalt and nickel are important resources for lithium-ion batteries.

In the past, our country was short of these two resources, especially cobalt, and our domestic mineral reserves were even less than one percent of the world.

Although nickel ore can be better, it is not much better.

The most important thing is that the taste of ore is very low, and the cost of mining and smelting is very high.

However, internationally, such important mineral resources exist in such a few countries.

This is very unfavorable to our development in certain scientific and technological fields.

Since they found these subsea minerals and mined them in large quantities, the problem of scarcity of rare metals in China has been greatly alleviated.

And as far as he knows, there are more than one fleet of mines currently in this generation's sea area.

There are several other fleets of ships that mine other minerals in another nearby sea area.

It is said that there is also chromium, which is also a very scarce resource in our country. In the past, we had to import large quantities of these resources from abroad.

However, since the establishment of these fleets, the shortage of rare metal resources in China has been greatly alleviated.

Many smelting companies are now fully pursuing their power and are beginning to receive goods frantically and smelting reserves.

Those companies are also very cunning, after they suddenly gained stable supply channels from the new era energy company.

They began to place orders in large quantities, for no other reason, just to monopolize these resources first.

Then take it back and slowly refine it yourself. After it is refined, you don’t rush to put it in large quantities on the market.

They will decide when to release goods in large quantities based on market price fluctuations.

Anyway, these guys are very cunning.

But no matter what, the hungry enterprises in China have finally turned the risk into safety.

We no longer have to face the era of spending high prices and looking at the faces of foreigners.

Moreover, those foreigners always say that they will raise prices. Our company is exhausted for a year, but in the end, they will work for them.

I made some hard money all year round.

And their mineral giants did nothing, but they made money while lying down.

Then he went back to their country to pay taxes, but he supported the lazy people in their country.

This time, we won't play with them anymore.

Don’t you like to raise prices? Please raise them as you like, we won’t accept it.

However, although there is no ore for yours, our factory will not stop. We still have sufficient raw materials to produce various commodities.

But these products will no longer be as much as you said.

This time we have to discuss it. Now the prices of various international commodities have risen to this point.

If you don’t raise prices for us, that won’t work unless you can find a suitable supplier.

But even if you can find it, it doesn't matter. We will use our cost advantage to kill them.

When they are all killed, you will have to discuss purchasing goods with us in the end.

By that time, we will have the final say in the pricing power.

This is the main reason why many large enterprises in China are currently undergoing technological upgrades.

With new technologies and sufficient raw materials, our products have sufficient competitive advantages internationally.

At the same time, the country has also established a strategic resource reserve center.

They are also purchasing rare metal ore sands like this to store and reserve them in large quantities.

For example, cobalt, nickel, chromium, platinum, etc., all acquire large reserves.

Because of these rare metals, there are not many mines in our country.

At this time, the new era energy companies can get back in large quantities, so they naturally have to eat as much as they can store them.

In the future, you can even get it in the overseas market to cut off a wave of foreigners’ leeks.

Because of this, these mining ships are definitely the country's hottest products.

For companies, that's the same as a money printing machine.

Therefore, for those working on the ship, they can now receive high salaries.

Even those who grow corn on agricultural ships can get 20,000 yuan in a mess now.

Because the sea area I went to was too far and I couldn't return to land for a long time, it is naturally necessary to improve everyone's living benefits.

Not only in terms of salary, it can provide sufficient protection for everyone.

Not to mention eating and drinking, now they have various working ships, energy supply ships, and cargo ships in their fleet.

Each fleet is also specially equipped with a supply ship.

This supply ship is filled with various vegetables, fruits, fresh meat, wine, drinks, etc.

He is specifically responsible for delivering supplies to all ships and waiting for him to feel that his warehouse is about to be cleared.

They would give all the goods to a few boats and return to the ship in advance.

Go to Indonesia or Thailand to buy something big.

After all, there are many Chinese people over there, and their eating and drinking customs are similar to ours.

You can buy it there, and the various supplies we need.

However, in recent days, there has been another thing that has made everyone happy.

That is, near their fleet, a large seafood breeding base suddenly appeared.

Yes, a large marine fishing ground.

In fact, you have heard of this thing before, but such marine fishing grounds used to exist in the domestic offshore waters.

No one expected that this thing would be brought to the deep sea this time...

Moreover, the scale of this marine fishing ground is quite large.

It's like a large offshore drilling platform.

However, these platforms are not one, but eight, arranged in the direction of gossip.

Then, using fishing nets to link them together, eight large platforms, the total sea area that can be controlled is as high as tens of thousands of square meters.
