Chapter 463 The Big Three Seek Peace

"Dong dong!"

"Come in!"

Just when Liu Fei was thinking about how to complete main task 12, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Lu Yingwei walked in with excitement on his face.

"Mr. Liu!"

"good news!"

"The three mining giants have asked for peace with our Interstellar Mining Alliance!"

Lu Yingwei handed a document to Liu Fei and said with a smile.

"Oh?"

"How long has it been?"

"They just couldn't stand it anymore and formally asked for peace?"

When Liu Fei heard this, he immediately laughed and quickly started looking at the documents.

The document was sent jointly by the three mining giants BPB, LT and CRD to the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

The general meaning of the content is that blindly engaging in price wars will not benefit either party in any way. Both parties should sit down calmly and negotiate properly to maximize the interests of both parties, etc.

There is no doubt that this is an attempt to seek peace with the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

They can't hold on any longer.

Since the establishment of the Interstellar Mining Alliance, it has been impacting the global mineral market with its high-quality, low-priced lunar iron ore and copper ore, and has been continuously increasing production and lowering prices.

The Big Three were helpless against the attack.

Originally, the three giants thought that they had the support of financial backers and consortiums behind them, and were prepared to fight a protracted war and a price war with the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

Not only must it maintain its pricing power and voice in the mining industry, but it must also completely defeat the Interstellar Mining Alliance, and then reversely acquire the Interstellar Mining Alliance's mines and assets on the moon.

After detailed and in-depth investigations and research, they believed that the mining costs of lunar iron and copper mines were much higher than their own mining costs. As long as the price dropped low enough, they could completely defeat the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

Moreover, the Interstellar Mining Alliance's investment in the moon is huge. After all, mining on the moon requires not only building a lunar base, mining factories, etc., but all daily necessities, even water and air, must be transported from the earth. The cost is there.

They believe that they can outlast the Interstellar Mining Alliance and ultimately retain their pricing power and voice.

However, the reality went against their wishes. After nearly two years of smokeless war, the Interstellar Mining Alliance showed no sign of giving up. Instead, they were the first to give up and had to start seeking peace.

"According to the information we have, the iron ore of the Big Three is now all rotting in warehouses. Their mines have basically stopped mining because the more they mine, the more they lose, and all the iron ore cannot be sold."

Lu Yingwei smiled and nodded and said, "The iron ore used by our domestic steel companies now is all from our Interstellar Mining Alliance."

"Our steel production originally accounted for more than half of the world's steel production. By last year, our steel production accounted for 80% of the world's total!"

"Without us as their biggest buyer, they simply can't find buyers for their iron ore."

"We are based in the domestic market, and then we compete with them in the international market, and we have almost completely taken over all the remaining markets."

"They simply cannot compete with us. Our iron ore is of better quality than theirs, and we can also directly transport it to any place in the world using anti-gravity spacecraft at a very low transportation cost."

"Although we lost a lot of money in the price war, we only made less money, but they didn't make a single cent. All the iron ore is rotting in the warehouse."

Lu Yingwei became more energetic as he spoke.

"Mr. Liu, you don't know."

"We are very happy and delighted now!"

"Not only have we made it impossible for the Big Three to sell their iron ore, but we have also successfully established a new international futures market in Jiangzhou, firmly controlling the futures trading of iron ore, copper ore, rare earth, gold, silver, manganese, tin and other minerals in our own hands!"

"Now more than 90% of the world's mineral futures transactions are completed in our Jiangzhou Futures Exchange."

"It makes me happy just thinking about it. Many people in the steel industry are sighing that they no longer have to look at other people's faces."

"In the past, we were the world's largest buyer of iron ore, but we had no bargaining rights, let alone pricing."

"The Big Three saw our huge demand for iron ore and saw that our development and construction cannot be separated from steel, so they raised prices crazily, and they did so without notice. They also refused to sell iron ore to us at any time, strangling us."

"Now, they want to sell us iron ore, but we won't buy it."

"Their salesmen are begging our steel companies to buy their iron ore, but we just won't buy from them."

Lu Yingwei said this with great enthusiasm.

People who have not experienced that frustrating period cannot understand this feeling.

“Reconciliation is impossible.”

"The little iron ore in the hands of the Big Three is simply insignificant compared to our Interstellar Mining Alliance."

"They have no right to sit across from us, and they have no right to talk to us about reconciliation."

"Tell the Interstellar Mining Alliance that it is better to pursue the enemy with all the remaining courage instead of seeking fame by imitating the tyrants. Completely crush the three giants!"

Liu Fei smiled and nodded, then thought for a moment and said.

"Ok!"

Lu Yingwei nodded solemnly. Reconciliation was definitely impossible.

Just as Liu Fei said, the Big Three are not qualified to sit opposite the Interstellar Mining Alliance.

The two sides are not on the same level at all.

Although the Interstellar Mining Alliance was established only a few years ago, it has firmly occupied the mineral resources on the moon.

Production has been growing continuously, and the amount of minerals mined on the moon now exceeds the amount of iron and copper mined on Earth.

But this is just the beginning.

The resources on Earth are limited, but the resources in the interstellar universe are unlimited.

The moon, Mars, the asteroid belt, and the Kuiper belt are full of resources.

The resources controlled by both parties are not of the same order of magnitude, so naturally they will not reconcile with the Big Three.

These greedy vampires should starve to death and go out of business.

"How are the preparations for mining on Mars going?"

Liu Fei thought about it and asked about mining on Mars.

When it comes to interstellar mining, Liu Fei is roughly planning to proceed in three steps.

The first step is naturally to exploit lunar resources, which is now quite mature.

There are already hundreds of thousands of miners living and working on the moon, and more lunar minerals will be mined in the future.

A large number of spacecraft travel between the Earth and the Moon every day.

Some people have even invested in building a lunar tourist city on the moon, which is expected to be officially open to customers from all over the world this year. At that time, ordinary people will also be able to travel to the moon.

The second step is to establish a Martian base on Mars and exploit Martian resources.

Li Yunfan's scientific expedition team conducted an in-depth exploration of the resources on Mars and discovered a large number of resources with mining value on Mars, such as gold mines, copper mines, rare earth mines, etc.

Although Mars is relatively far away from the Earth, traveling between them is naturally not as convenient and fast as that between the Earth and the Moon.

But Mars also has advantages that the moon does not have. There is water and air on Mars. At least water resources do not need to be transported from the Earth, which will greatly reduce transportation pressure.

Water is a liquid and cannot be compressed. Transporting water is actually very uneconomical, but there is no other way because life cannot be separated from water.

The third step is that when mining on Mars gradually matures, we will use Mars as a springboard to exploit resources in the asteroid belt.

According to the large amount of data obtained by probes and exploration satellites launched into the asteroid belt, the resources contained in the asteroid belt are very astonishing. A large number of asteroids are rich in iron ore, copper ore, etc., and some even contain large amounts of gold mines.

Once these three steps are completed, fellow villagers will basically no longer have to worry about resources.

In the past, our textbooks always told us that although our country is vast and rich in resources, the per capita resources are very few.

If we can complete these three steps, we will be far ahead in terms of per capita resources in the future, and we will have as much as we want, almost endlessly.

“Theoretical research and demonstration have been completed.”

"We will first build a Mars space city on Mars in July this year, and start building a Mars base by the end of the year."

"Next year we will officially start mining resources on Mars."

Lu Yingwei thought for a while and said.

In fact, he didn't quite understand.

The moon is close, so why go to Mars when we are trying to grab more land? Why do we have to go there?

To be honest, with the current resources on the moon, we don’t have to worry about resources, at least in the next hundred years. There is no need to spend a lot of manpower and resources to mine resources on Mars.

Even if you don't understand, you still have to complete your boss's task.

"Ok!"

Liu Fei nodded with satisfaction.

I am also preparing for the future interstellar universe era.

Once we obtain the high-tech warp engine, we can start preparing to build large spaceships and prepare for interstellar colonization and expansion.

More steel and more mineral resources will definitely be needed in the future.

The resources of the moon are certainly sufficient for the planetary civilization of Earth, but they may not be enough for the civilization of the interstellar universe era.

This is the historical law of the development of human civilization.

The more civilization and technology develop, the more resources are needed.

With the steelmaking technology of today's steel mills, any furnace of steel produced can produce more steel and better quality than the annual steel output of the prosperous dynasties in ancient times.

Based on this, it is possible that the demand for steel will surge in the future interstellar universe.

The current annual steel production of more than 10 billion tons may seem insignificant in the future.

When Liu Fei and Lu Yingwei were discussing mining on Mars.

At the headquarters of LT Group, one of the three largest mining companies, LT Group President Tom was discussing something with BPB Group President Brent and CRD Group President Naidu with frowns on their faces.
