Chapter 488 Tough
"Tell me carefully!" Yang Dongsheng's face became serious.

It took Yang Dongsheng more than a year to move one-third of the way.

According to the previous progress, he will need at least two years to completely remove these minerals.

Without resources, Yang Dongsheng planted a fart of land for the Outer Mongolians, but he didn't really intend to plant land for the Outer Mongolians.

"Before I got on the plane, an official in Mongolia who directly contacted us told me..." James Whistler said.

As early as 1983, geologists from Outer Mongolia discovered malachite copper deposits in a place called Oyu Tolgoi.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Bihe Company did not know where it got this information, and wanted to go to Outer Mongolia for exploration, but due to legal restrictions in Outer Mongolia, the exploration did not take place.

But not long ago, Outer Mongolia promulgated the "Mineral Law", legal persons and natural persons of any nationality can apply for a mineral certificate.

BHP established an exploration branch company in Mongolia to continue the previously unfinished exploration.

On the other hand, Mongolia has already started negotiations with BHP without notifying Alice at all.

After hearing what James Whistler said, Yang Dongsheng sneered. A few months ago, that group of people planned to award James Whistler the highest medal a foreigner could get, in exchange for Alice expanding the planting area.

But once they had greater interests, they immediately backtracked, and they did it without telling Alice Company.

Yang Dongsheng wasn't too surprised by this. His previous life proved that those people are a bunch of ignorant, short-sighted idiots.

In the previous life, these people repeated this over and over again. After the economic crisis broke out, foreign capital almost all ran away at once, and then they had to seek help from the people they had been humiliating before.

"What did they say?"

"They said they could give us a bigger piece of land as compensation!"

Yang Dongsheng said coldly, "Tell them, we don't want any bigger land, if they want us to give up Oyu Tolgoi, we will quit all the land! In addition, ask them to pay liquidated damages and be strong. Don't be afraid to follow They are tearing their faces apart, the economic crisis has broken out, and as the economic crisis spreads, B&H will surely flee. They will be begging us to go back soon!"

They left, the foreign capital ran away again, those people had no money and no food, Yang Dongsheng wanted to see what kind of face those people would have.

But before that, Yang Dongsheng wanted to destroy all the fields, and he had to smash all the mines to pieces, diluting the copper grade of Oyu Tolgoi to the point where it was worthless.

James Whistler nodded.

Yang Dongsheng suddenly remembered something, "What did Bihe Company say?"

James Whistler said, "They didn't send any news. I didn't even hear that BHP established an exploration branch in Mongolia before!"

"Whether Bihe Company knows it or not, let the news out and don't give them a chance to pretend to be dead!"

BHP is the predecessor of BHP Billiton in the future and Yang Dongsheng's great enemy.

After talking about Outer Mongolia, the two talked about buying forests and natural gas fields.

When buying the previous forest, James Whistler went to the northern part of Canada, where it is easy and cheap to buy forests and ice fields.

Those who are really engaged in forestry business will not go there, it is too cold, tens of degrees below zero is normal in winter, and there are almost nine months of snow in a year.

There are only a lot of white-collar workers who are tired of city life and go there to escape the world, but most of them come back after a short stay. It is so desolate there, and there are more bears than people.

The only people who can really live there are the extremely sparsely populated Inuit.

Moreover, their real purpose of going there is not for the forest, they will not encounter protests from environmental protection organizations, and they will not have conflicts with the aborigines.

As for entering the natural gas market in North America and Europe, it is also very simple. Oil and gas exploration in the United States has a history of 200 years, and North Sea oil and gas fields have a history of exploitation for decades, and some oil and gas fields are on the verge of exhaustion.

It is really not easy to mine combustible ice. On land, in most cases, the temperature will increase by 100 to 2 degrees for every 3 meters of depth.

In places like Shunhe where the stratum changes drastically, the temperature rises faster. The depth of the Shunhe Coal Mine is only 300 meters, but most of the underground places maintain a temperature above 20 degrees all the year round, and some working faces and tunneling heads are even above 30 degrees.

Combustible ice simply cannot exist in this environment.

If you want to mine combustible ice, the core work is to keep heat and keep pressure.

First use porous and good heat insulation basalt to make a heat insulation layer, then use high-strength granite to make a super pressure tank, and then use basalt to cover another heat insulation layer on the inner wall of the pressure tank.

When the combustible ice decomposes, it will absorb heat, and the temperature in the ground will slowly heat the combustible ice, forming a stable transformation process instead of releasing it all at once.

The key here is the thickness of basalt and granite, which should be adjusted according to the local conditions.

Now it depends on when the coalbed methane mining license will come down. Yang Dongsheng sent someone to inquire about Mr. Zhao's words at the Mitsubishi reception, but there is no way to prove that Mr. Zhao always speaks the truth after drinking and is still blowing his mind.

Yang Dongsheng came from a grassroots background, and Alice came from foreign capital, neither of them had access to the secrets of those families.

James Whistler asked people to release what happened in Mongolia, sent people to contact European and American oil companies, and canceled his plan to receive a medal in Outer Mongolia, but he himself did not leave Shanghai.

As the new year was approaching, Alice's company arranged a reception in Shanghai, which was held in the former HSBC building.

The former HSBC Building was brightly lit, and Yang Dongsheng's car was about to reach the entrance of the building. A red sports car took advantage of its agility and rushed ahead of them.

The driver hurriedly braked, and Yang Dongsheng almost hit the front seat.

A man in his thirties led an older woman out of the sports car.

The driver hurriedly turned his head and said, "Mr. Yang, are you okay?"

Yang Dongsheng waved his hand, walked into the hall, took a glass of red wine, and suddenly saw a small young man stuffing a large piece of dessert into his mouth while no one was looking.

Yang Dongsheng walked up to the man, "Didn't you have dinner?"

The man wiped his mouth quickly, and was relieved when he saw that it was Yang Dongsheng, "Brother!"

"When did you come back?"

"Just got off the plane!" Yang Huai said.

Yang Dongsheng picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Yang Huai.

Yang Huai took it, but didn't eat it, "Brother, recently my sister-in-law asked me how to go to Hong Kong, do you know?"
