Supreme Golden Eyes Chapter 454 What a big fat sheep!

On September', Ling Shaonan left Moscow with his team, but instead of returning home, he went straight to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. 【|】

However, in this team, Lin Yuhong and his assistant are missing a few people. The reason is that after the acquisition of Rosneft, facing such a huge group company, even if there is no need for integration and reorganization, there are still many tasks that require him to do it himself. To deal with it, especially after obtaining 40% and 42% of the shares of Rosneft respectively, the two oil companies, Amur and Slav, also need to make some adjustments to their business strategies and directions, and these things are not the presidents of the two companies. Fugeny Leonid and Andrei Belekov can make the decision, but Lin Yuhong must make the decision on behalf of Ling Shaonan.

…………

In the past ten years, since the implementation of democratic reform and the capitalist system, Mongolia, a large steppe country, is still struggling with poverty, corruption and unfair distribution of mineral resources.In one of the world's poorest countries, where more than a third of the population lives below the poverty line, Mongolia is ironically rich in mineral deposits.

With rich minerals that even foreigners come to seek gold, the people of their own country are struggling on the poverty line. The inflation rate is as high as 30.00%. Said it was a mess.

Mongolia has a land area of ​​150 million square kilometers, but a population of just over 200 million. Almost all minerals in short supply in the world can be found in Mongolia, which is sparsely populated. Most of the mineral deposits are still undeveloped and have promising prospects.Over the years, how to control the entry of foreign-funded enterprises into the field of mineral exploration and development has always been the most sensitive topic in Mongolian political circles.

Mongolia is rich in copper, gold, silver, iron ore, phosphorus and zinc resources, all of which are buried under the vast grasslands, and Mongolia is also the country with the largest known coal mines, with uranium resources ranking third in the world and silver mines It is also in the forefront of the world. According to the special resource management office of Lingtian Investment Group (directly under the president's office, it analyzes the current situation and prospects of energy resources around the world and provides a feasibility report for incorporating them into the group). Mongolia is about There are more than 3000 tons of gold mines, more than 3000 million tons of copper mines, and 500 billion tons of high-quality coal mines waiting to be mined.

Since Mongolia is an inland country, due to its high latitude and short summer, Mongolia's main agricultural products are dependent on imports, so the annual output of Mongolia's mining industry accounts for more than 30% of the country's GDP.Today, many of Mongolia's mineral resources are brewing and opening up to foreign investors.

As industrialization and urbanization are in full swing, countries around the world are looking for mineral resources. Due to the large scale of potential investment and the high expected value of future returns, some people even call Mongolia a new gold mountain in Asia.

At present, Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea are the top countries investing in the field of mining in Mongolia.

The British company Rio Tinto is also preparing to enter the Mongolian mineral resources market. As the world's second largest mining giant, they have many advantages. However, Mongolia's situation is special and under the wings of Russia, it is not so easy to do this. easy.

In order to improve the investment environment and attract more foreign investors to enter Mongolia's resource market, for example, Mongolia promulgated the "Mineral Resources Law" in 1997 and introduced relevant preferential policies to attract foreign investment.This year, the old (Cetra Gold) mining company from Canada is preparing to invest 500 million US dollars to obtain the overall mining rights of the Boroo gold mine with a gold reserve of about 44 tons.

However, Ling Shaonan has a big appetite, and is not very interested in those small-scale minerals, even including gold mines with dozens of tons of reserves. What he is interested in is the largest mining area in Mongolia that has not yet been explored. Tolgoi.

The Tolgoi mining area is also the largest mine with proven reserves in Mongolia. It is located in the South Gobi Province of Mongolia, 650 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar, and only 660 kilometers away from the Sino-Mongolian border. The copper content of the mine reaches two Thousands of 570 million tons, while the gold content reached 730 million ounces (about [-] tons), and the commercial value is hundreds of billions of dollars!

As for oil exploitation, Mongolia has resumed oil exploration and exploitation since the early 90s, and now it has been found that the proven reserves can reach about 80 billion barrels. There are thirteen oil basins in the area bordering China alone, with reserves of more than 30 billion barrels. And the oil quality is good, its api gravity index is 41, the api gravity index of Huaxia Daqing Oilfield is only 34.It's just that most of these oil wells are owned, and Ling Shaonan needs to spend a lot of effort to hold them in his hands. With this effort, he might as well dig two more oil wells in Russia, so he is not interested in Mongolia's oil resources. Not too big.

According to the "Mongolian Mining Law" revised in June 1997, foreign investors enjoy the same treatment as Mongolian enterprises in handling mineral development licenses. The exploration period is three years, which can be extended for two years, and the development period is 6 years, which can be renewed. Extended for 60 years, each license can develop an area of ​​up to 40 square kilometers, and the number of licenses that each enterprise and individual can apply for is not limited.And this undoubtedly provided an excellent opportunity for Ling Shaonan and Lingtian Investment Group!

It should be noted that Ling Shaonan has long coveted Mongolia's mineral resources. Whether it is copper mines, gold mines, coal mines, or oil, they are all indispensable strategic resources in the future. At this time, the political situation in Mongolia is chaotic, and foreign capital The enthusiasm for intervention is not strong, which is a good opportunity for me to intervene strongly. After Mongolia's mineral resources are gradually developed and cleared up, it will be very difficult to control the most high-quality mining areas, at least not like it is now. so easy.

Although Mongolia has been actively introducing foreign capital, up to now, it has only introduced more than 1 million U.S. dollars of investment, which is generally introduced from venture capital. Most foreign investors really have nothing to do with this closed landlocked country. Confidence, after all, if you want to cooperate with Mongolia, you must first solve the transportation problem, or reach an understanding with Russia, or use China's transportation lines, there is no other way out.

It is not easy for most companies to solve this problem, but for Ling Shaonan, there is no such scruple.To him, Mongolia is just a fat and big sheep, what he has to do now is to drive it into his own sheepfold!

…………

At the same time that Ling Shaonan and his group left Russia, Kiriyenko also quickly held a press conference with the business contract signed with Lingtian Investment Group, and revealed that the Russian government had obtained a low-interest loan of 100 billion U.S. dollars from Lingtian Investment Group. Unexpectedly, this made his sluggish popularity soar several times in an instant!

When responding to a reporter's question, Kiriyenko said that a low-interest loan of 100 billion U.S. dollars is nothing. The Russian government has also reached an investment intention of 150 billion U.S. dollars with Lingtian Investment Group, and the two parties will conduct a further round of cooperation in the future. A series of all-round and in-depth cooperation, and the traditional friendship formed by the Chinese and Russian people over a long period of time make Chinese friends far more reliable than Western countries.

All of a sudden, the Russian media, suffering from the economic crisis, immediately discovered the New World. The Chinese, who had been looked down upon by them before, have become so rich?However, after carefully understanding the background of Lingtian Investment Group, the media couldn't figure it out, because Lingtian Investment Group has done a very good job of keeping secrets, apart from knowing that its registered place is in the Marshall Islands, and its president is from the Huaxia Shanghai Stock Exchange. Except for a young man, the other information is well hidden, and there is no way to determine its true background for a while.

But in any case, a private company that can provide tens of billions of dollars in low-interest loans to the Russian government is quite rich, and Kiriyenko mentioned that there will be deeper cooperation in the future, which is very exciting. People look forward to it.

…………

Before Ling Shaonan and his group arrived in Ulaanbaatar, the staff transferred from the headquarters by Ling Shaonan had arrived ahead of time. These people included analysts from the Resource Management Office, several employees who were familiar with the situation in Mongolia, and even Zhang Chuhe. Li Ji and the two, as well as Ling Shaonan's former bodyguard, are now the deputy director of the intelligence department of Lingtian Investment Group, Xu Yan, who is actually in charge of secret information.

The reasons for other people to come to Ulan Bator are very clear, but Xu Yan's purpose is not easy to explain to others - he is in charge of secret intelligence for Ling Shaonan, and the intelligence organization that Ling Shaonan secretly controls is headed by him. Responsible, and Mongolia is a place where the former Soviet Union focused on infiltration and control. There are many former KGB agents here, and there are also many recruited by Chernenko. If used well, these people will play a huge role!However, as the big boss, Ling Shaonan had never directly contacted those spies, and Xu Yan was needed to find them.

For Ling Shaonan and his party, after receiving the note from the Russian government and learning about Lingtian Investment Group's generous low-interest loans and investment intentions, the Mongolian government showed great enthusiasm. President Nachuk Bagabandi and Prime Minister Chakhya Elbegdorj personally attended the welcome banquet that night and delivered a passionate speech.

And Ling Shaonan also reached a preliminary intention with the two on investment matters during the meeting before the banquet, and roughly revealed his estimated investment amount - 30-100 million US dollars.It's not that Ling Shaonan doesn't want to take more resources into his bag, it's because he spends too much money during this period, and the cash that can be used on the surface is only about [-] billion U.S. dollars, and the money can't all be invested in Mongolia. Set aside a portion for possible emergencies.

However, Bagabandi and Elbegdorj are already very satisfied with this figure. Mongolia is a small country with a small population, and last year's GDP was only a little over one billion US dollars, which is already equivalent to two or three years The total gdp value of the country is now, what else are they dissatisfied with?
