Chapter 218 The Idea of ​​Purchasing Lithium Mine

"Mr. Guo Yuan, did I disturb you by calling so early?" Fiona asked respectfully on the other end of the phone.

"No, I'm on my way to the company, and I don't have anything to do at hand." Guo Yuan, who just got up from the bed, said.

"You are really hardworking. My boss often doesn't come to work until noon."

Guo Yuan smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Miss Fiona, you must have something to do when you called, right?"

"Well, it's like this. Mr. Guo Yuan, we have completed the test of your autopilot technology here. The boss is very satisfied. The 1000 million shares promised to you have been transferred to your NYSE account."

"That's it! Thank you boss for me." After speaking, Guo Yuan hung up the phone.

This time, the transaction between Guo Yuan and Musk was completed privately by the two, and it has nothing to do with Future Technology. Naturally, these stocks do not need to go through Future Technology.

Then he asked 01 to check the account, and sure enough, the stock was already there.

The follow-up operation was handed over to 01 by Guo Yuan, who asked 01 to cash out these stocks, and then transfer 80% of this part of the funds to the company account of Zero One Battery, and keep the rest for now.

Of course, the operation of transferring funds must be kept confidential, at least to make it impossible for people to find out the flow of funds in a short period of time.

This is not a big problem for 01.

Two days later, 01 got everything done.

Of these 1000 million shares, a total of 51.75 billion yuan was cashed out, of which 41.75 billion yuan was transferred to the Zero One battery, and the remaining 10 billion yuan was placed in Guo Yuan's unnamed overseas private account.

After Li Cheng learned that 41.75 billion yuan had been remitted to the company's account, Li Cheng's legs went limp. He had been greedy for half his life and had never gotten so much money, not even 1.75 million yuan.

More than once in Li Cheng's mind, he thought about whether to take the money and run away.

But his rationality told him that if he dared to do this, he would die miserably.

In the end, Li Chengqiang suppressed the greed in his heart, and the money must be spent as much as possible!

After calming down, Li Cheng contacted Guo Yuan immediately.

Guo Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he directly sent an email to Li Cheng. The content of the email was very simple and just two sentences: The money has been given to you, and you should implement the things we discussed before as soon as possible. I want you to confirm the production line of the mobile phone battery within a month. specific location.

Li Cheng didn't dare to have any hesitation now. Before, he saw that Guo Yuan's funds were not in place, and he hadn't sent anyone to China and Vietnam to investigate, and now he had to act as soon as possible.

Li Chengma asked his secretary to book him a ticket to Huaxia, and he wanted to fly to Huaxia first.

Before he confirmed that the boss is from Huaxia, the boss of Huaxia should be very happy to invest in the factory.

Of course, if China's conditions really didn't allow it, Li Cheng would also choose to go to Vietnam.

And Guo Yuan went to the company at the moment, and then looked at the map of South America on the computer in the office.

To be precise, Guo Yuan looked at three countries in South America: Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.

The reason why we pay attention to them is that these three countries are known as the Lithium Triangle of South America.

Lithium is a highly concentrated mineral. 58% of the world's resources are concentrated in the Lithium Triangle in South America. Lithium mines here are so rich that they cannot be exhausted.

Among them, Bolivia has 2100 million tons, and Argentina has 1930 million tons.Chile has 960 million.

The best quality is Chile's Atatama Salt Lake, with a staggering 630 million tons of individual resources.

In contrast, in such a large territory as China, there are only 510 million tons of lithium mines.

Regardless of the fact that China's new energy vehicles are in full swing, China is actually quite short of lithium.

As the key cultivation of new energy batteries, lithium is known as the white oil of the fourth industrial revolution and an indispensable industrial raw material.

China, Japan, the United States, Europe and Australia have successively regarded lithium as a strategic metal, and its important position can be seen in one or two.

China is currently the world's largest producer of new energy vehicles. With the rapid increase in production, the price of lithium carbonate has also exploded. As of January 2023, the price has risen strongly for 1 months.

Although after that, lithium prices plummeted due to severe excess upstream capacity and weak downstream demand, the long-term strategic value of lithium is still difficult to shake.

During the previous peak period of lithium price, villagers in Jiangxi also went up to the mountain to privately dig and indiscriminately mine lithium mines. This kind of operation is obviously destructive and plundering of resources, so the higher authorities naturally attach great importance to it.

However, the chaos of lithium mines in Jiangxi is, on the one hand, a non-governmental behavior that has been repeatedly banned, and on the other hand, it also reflects the problem of insufficient lithium.

In fact, China's lithium element is not too small in terms of reserves.

According to relevant statistics, the global lithium resources are 8600 million tons.

(ps: The so-called resource amount is the amount that has been proven, plus the reserves estimated by geologists, it can be said to be the best guess.)
According to the 2022 Huaxia Mineral Resources Report, Huaxia's reserves of lithium converted into alumina are 404 million tons, accounting for 6.8% of global reserves, which is more than the next.

But compared to China's lithium consumption, this amount of lithium is simply not enough.

According to forecasts, by 2030, China's lithium demand will reach 70 tons.

Among them, 40 tons depend on imports, and the dependence on foreign countries is 65%-70%. If the layout cannot be arranged in advance, it is likely to be harvested in various ways like other minerals in the future.

And Guo Yuan's Zero one battery factory was built abroad.

Lithium mines in China are relatively scarce, and Guo Yuan does not plan to purchase lithium from China.

So Guo Yuan set his sights on Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, the three big dogs. This is why Guo Yuan asked 01 to leave 10 billion yuan.

Guo Yuan wants to use the 10 billion meters as an initial investment to purchase a relatively large-scale lithium mine in these three countries.

When the Zero one battery is ready, use the money from the Zero one battery to complete the project.

At that time, the raw material problem will be solved.

Guo Yuan personally prefers Bolivia, on the one hand, because Bolivia has the largest lithium reserves, and on the other hand, Bolivia is poor.

Argentina and Chile Although Chile is not a developed country, it is considered a relatively developed economy in Latin America.

The economic structures of the two countries are relatively similar, relying mainly on mining, forestry, fishing and agriculture.

Although they are not developed countries, the per capita GDP of these two countries has reached the level of developed countries. It is just that the economic structure is relatively simple and the products they provide are mainly raw materials, so they are considered developing countries.

But Bolivia is different. This country is poor and belongs to an underdeveloped area.

The poorer the place, the higher the operability.

Of course, the poorer the place, the more chaotic it is. If you want to buy lithium mines in Bolivia, you must go through a lot of consideration, otherwise, if you are not careful, 10 billion yuan may be lost directly.

　I'm still not feeling well today, I tried my best to code 4000 words, and I'm about to write about the protagonist's overseas layout, I don't know if this plot is going to be good.
