Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 552 Compromise with each other

After being confused for a long time, Boss Zhu came back to his senses, looked at the time and found that it had passed eleven o'clock, and then remembered that Ling Shaonan didn't come to him to discuss the topics just now: "By the way, Xiao Ling, you are looking for me this time. What's the matter?"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the business!" Ling Shaonan didn't really forget, but wanted to give Boss Zhu a step down. He patted his forehead in frustration and said, "Some time ago, the northern part of our group The mining group held a press conference to announce the discovery of several coal mines and copper-gold mines in the Tolgoi area, Boss Zhu should have heard about it, right?"

As soon as Ling Shaonan mentioned this matter, Boss Zhu understood what he meant. As the chief steward in charge of the country's economic development, he certainly knew about it: "Well, I have indeed heard about it. Xiao Ling, you are lucky. The mine was found in half a year after the mining area was won, which is very good! However, the reserves of those mines may not be as simple as you announced, right? Hehe, Oyu Tolgoi has 70 tons of copper and 25 tons of gold reserves, Taben Tolgoi's 1.5 million tons of high-quality thermal coal, worth billions of dollars, is already a fortune for others, but I still know a little about your Xiaoling's family background. Shall we go out?"

According to Ling Shaonan's instructions, shortly after Liu Chenghong returned to Mongolia, he announced the reduction of the total reserves of several mining areas by about [-] times, but even this caused quite a stir, especially in Mongolia. A team of thousands of people guarding the mine watched over the sidelines, and many dignitaries benefited from the cooperation with the Northern Mining Group. I am afraid that those greedy guys will directly announce that they will The two mining areas were nationalized.

Boss Zhu didn’t find it strange that Ling Shaonan could guess these things. He wouldn’t have made this trip if he had only such a small reserve, so he smiled and said frankly: “I think Boss Zhu knows something about the virtues of Mongolians. , I did this just to protect myself, Boss Zhu, don't take offense."

"Self-protection? You have a lot of people in Mongolia, right? Do you need to use this method to protect yourself? You little trick!" Boss Zhu scolded with a smile, and didn't ask the specific reserves, because he knew that even if he asked Ling Shaonan Nor would they say: "Tell me, why did you come to me, to find a buyer for your mine? Then you should go directly to the person in charge of the relevant company instead of me. Don't worry, am I going to be exhausted?"

"Hehe, of course not!" Ling Shaonan said with a smile: "I am very confident in China's future economic development, so my only worry is that our raw coal and copper mines will be in short supply, not their sales. However, Before this, there is another very important question. The military water supply unit that you helped to contact last year, Mr. Zhu, has helped us find sufficient groundwater sources, so the problem of ore washing has basically been solved, but how to use the mined raw coal? It is a big problem to transport copper ore out.”

"Well, that's true." Boss Zhu pondered for a while, and then asked, "Tell me your specific thoughts."

"When I bought a few mining areas last year, my people proposed to build two routes for roads and two railways. After consideration, I decided to build a railway starting from Taben Tolgoi, passing through Oyu Tolgoi. Gai, it is the most appropriate plan to merge into the railway from Wuyuan County or Urad Front Banner after entering Huaxia through Gashunsu Haitu Port and Ganqimaodu Port. However, in this way, Ganqimaodu Port will The current seasonal port has become a permanent port. I can handle the construction of railways and changing the nature of the port in Mongolia, but in China, I need you, Boss Zhu, to raise your hand.”

In fact, the reason why we chose to build a brand new railway in Mongolia instead of using the original main line, apart from the fact that the distance is too far, which will affect the transportation efficiency, is another important reason is that the line is in Mongolia If the stay is too long and you have to pass through areas with relatively concentrated population, it is easy for interested people to see that their actual mining volume is inconsistent with the announced ones, which will cause some troubles.Of course, Ling Shaonan does not need to explain this reason in detail. After confirming that the actual reserves of the two major mining areas of Ta Ben Tolgoi and Oyu Tolgoi are more than the data released by the Northern Mining Group, Boss Zhu can easily guess it. .

"Xiao Zhang, help me get the information on the Ganqimaodu port in Inner Mongolia over the past few years. I want to have a look!" After pondering for a while, Boss Zhu pressed the internal phone on his desk and called Zhang Da in the office next to him. The secretary ordered.Building a railway with a length of one or two hundred kilometers is a trivial matter. In the past few years, the operating mileage of national railways has increased by more than one thousand kilometers every year. There are too many, and I have to treat it with caution. Boss Zhu has to read the information before making a decision.

Ten minutes later, Secretary Zhang knocked on the door hurriedly and walked in with a file bag in hand, put the file bag on Boss Zhu's desk, smiled and nodded to Ling Shaonan, and then backed out again.After getting the document, Boss Zhu put on his glasses and looked at it carefully.

This document is very detailed, recording the annual cargo throughput, number of people entering and exiting the Ganqimaodu Port since its establishment in 1992, the number of customs clearance vehicles, and the structure of imported and exported products.Especially at the end, it also includes the opinions of several political and economic experts who are Boss Zhu’s staff, not only explaining the impact of the opening of the Ganqimaodu Port on Urad Middle Banner, Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia, and even the entire North China region. Economic development, exchanges between China and Mongolia in various fields, and the importance of maintaining the prosperity and stability of the frontier, as well as the assumption and analysis of the permanent port, are very professional and detailed.

After reading the document carefully and pondering for a while, Boss Zhu raised his head and said to Ling Shaonan: "I agree with your request in principle, and the work of making the Ganqimaodu Port permanent will be handed over as soon as possible, but We must first establish a framework for the investment and income of railway construction.”

"That's no problem!" Ling Shaonan had also considered this issue before, and immediately expressed his opinion: "The construction cost of the entire railway will be borne by the Northern Mining Group, and the Mongolian Great Hural Conference will be promoted to pass this cooperation agreement." We are also in charge of the matter. Domestically, we are mainly responsible for the exploration and specific construction of railway lines, and the future maintenance work will also be handed over to professionals from the Ministry of Railways. Of course, due to political and other factors, we can cooperate to establish a railway company After the completion of the railway, the Northern Mining Group has the right to use it free of charge, and the other benefits will be negotiated by the two parties to determine the specific sharing plan. What does Boss Zhu think?"

The Taben Tolgoi mining area is located about 100 kilometers east of Dalanzadagad City, South Gobi Province, Mongolia, 540 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar in the north, and 190 kilometers away from Ganqimaodu Port in the south. The railway planned by Lingshaonan runs from If it is built here, it will just pass near the Oyu Tolgoi mining area, and the resident population in southern Mongolia is very small, so it can be built almost in a straight line. In addition to the road section in Huaxia, the total length of the railway can be controlled within 500 kilometers.

In addition, the terrain of Mongolia and northern Inner Mongolia is flat and vast, and the crustal structure is also very stable. There is no problem of detours, opening roads across mountains, or building bridges when encountering water. As for the price, the total cost of this railway is only about 1999 billion RMB, which is less than 30 million US dollars.

If the total value of the two mining areas is only a few billion U.S. dollars as Liu Chenghong announced to the public, Ling Shaonan may have to consider whether it is worthwhile to build this railway, because the transportation cost of using heavy-duty trucks may be lower (in the Great Gobi It is too simple to build a road on the beach, even if you just sweep away the stones on the ground, it will be a simple road, and you don’t have to worry about the problem of the road being crushed, at worst, just sweep out another road).But now, in order to get the raw coal and copper and gold out as soon as possible, building a railway is naturally the best choice.

"I agree with your opinion in principle. But there is one point. After your raw coal and copper mines are produced, you must first meet the needs of domestic enterprises!" Boss Zhu is also very satisfied with Ling Shaonan's proposal. In fact, even if Ling Shaonan is not willing to undertake He will also promote the implementation of this plan. After all, sitting in his position, one should not consider the issue one-sidedly, but must consider the possible events in the next few years or even decades from multiple perspectives such as politics and economy. A decision can only be made after considering the circumstances.

Taking this railway as an example, it is convenient for the resources in Mongolia to be transported to China, to promote the economic development of Inner Mongolia, and to maintain the stability of the frontier. More importantly, if something happens on the border between China and Mongolia in the future, the significance of this railway will be great. up!

Ling Shaonan is also very aware of this point. He proposed to hand over the maintenance work of the railway to the Ministry of Railways of Huaxia. In name, those people are all railway employees, but in fact..., everyone knows these things well. That's fine, it's pointless to point it out.

"In addition, Boss Zhu, you know the situation in Mongolia. The idea of ​​corruption is relatively serious. However, during the construction of the railway, I will transfer some people from the mine protection team to take charge of the security work. If necessary, it can continue in the future. Therefore, There is no need to worry about the safety of railway company employees."

Finally, Ling Shaonan said lightly.As soon as these few words came out, Boss Zhu stared straight at him, and he moved away after a long while, and agreed in a deep voice: "Okay!"

This is another compromise reached by Boss Zhu and Ling Shaonan. They both know it well and say it is to protect safety, but the people in the mine guard team also undertake another task: to monitor the people of the railway company and prevent them from finding out about the northern mining industry. The details of the group.Boss Zhu really meant this at first, but now that Ling Shaonan brought it up, and he took advantage of it, it's hard to insist on it anymore. This is actually a kind of mutual compromise.
