"The new government made a strong statement, condemned the shameless behavior of the Philippines, and stated that it would take all means to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity" - Daily Mail
"Where does the confidence to be arrogant come from?" How can the mysterious Star Ring trade defeat the Philippine special forces? Private armed forces are stronger than government forces, and their security is worrying” - The Washington Post
"Reasonable negotiation is the right way, and the Philippines made the mistake of humiliating itself because of emotion" - Renren Daily
"The Devil Who Cries War?" Shinkook may become a disruptor of regional stability” - Sankei Shimbun
... ...
There were more than a dozen newspapers placed on Jiang Chen's desk, and each one had very interesting views. In particular, the Japanese media Sankei Shimbun gave a close-up of Zhang Yaping's facial muscles contorted. I don't know what he would think after seeing it.
As for opinions... some are neutral, some deflect the topic toward their own country, and some are subjectively partial or disgusted. Of course, this was all within Jiang Chen's expectation. After something like this happened, the Philippines should be more cautious. As for how to deal with this kind of diplomatic issue, and how to use the platform of the International Court of Justice and the 41 prisoners to severely damage the Philippines, that is what President Zhang should worry about.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Please come in." Jiang Chen threw the newspaper on the corner of the table and said casually.
Aisha walked in wearing a maid outfit and put the coffee on the desk in front of Jiang Chen. The fluttering white ruffled skirt and the looming absolute realm under the skirt made Jiang Chen feel a little thirsty.
The reason why she was dressed like this was not because of Jiang Chen's bad taste or anything, but purely because of Ayesha's interest.
That's right, it's just interest.
Since returning from Ukraine last time, Ayesha has developed a keen interest in all kinds of beautiful clothes. However, due to traditional concepts, she did not want to expose too much skin in places with other people, so most of the clothes in the five wardrobes became her "pajamas". Whenever there are no outsiders at home, Ayesha's outfits become "strange".
The maid outfit is still good, sometimes she even wears a bikini to do housework. Wearing only an apron to cook...
"Thank you." Jiang Chen thanked him with a smile after taking the cup of coffee.
Aisha also smiled, walked behind Jiang Chen, and squeezed his shoulders gently.
"Work every day. Take a break once in a while."
"I will feel relaxed when everything is on track." After taking a sip of hot coffee, Jiang Chen put down the cup, leaned back on the chair, and enjoyed the massage on his shoulders. He closed his eyes comfortably.
"Well... ...if only I could help you." Ayesha said slightly disappointed.
In fact, in her heart, she always thought that a woman like Xia Shiyu was more suitable for Jiang Chen. It can not only help him in his career, but his appearance is closer to the aesthetics of Eastern people. As for her own words, apart from her ability to kill people and her indifference to life and death, she has almost nothing.
This was exactly why she wanted to drag Xia Shiyu to Jiang Chen's pillow...
"What are you thinking about? You have already helped me a lot." Jiang Chen denied without hesitation.
Aisha didn't speak, but from her gentle smile, it could be seen that she felt much relieved.
"I'm going to Australia at noon. Do you want to go with me?"
Ayesha raised her lips happily when she heard that Jiang Chen was going to take her with him on this business trip.
"Of course. I'm going to change clothes."
Finished. Ayesha turned and walked toward the door.
... ...
Steel is the foundation of industry, even in the highly developed 22nd century.
If you want to develop industry, you cannot do it without raw materials. What restricts the industrial development in the wasteland is the lack of raw materials. Although raw materials such as copper, iron, aluminum, and rare earth metals can be obtained through scrap recycling, this process is cumbersome and costly due to the high degree of processing. This is one of the reasons why power armor is expensive. The special plastic steel that covers the entire body of the T-3 power armor is not cheap at all.
In the past, when we were in China, it was naturally unrealistic to purchase iron ore in large quantities. This was much riskier than buying food. But now he doesn't have so many worries. He can buy as much as he wants. No one has the authority to investigate him.
The world's iron ore production is mainly controlled by three giants. Among them, the largest company Vale of Brazil accounts for 39%, the second largest company Rio Tinto Mining Company and the third largest company H Mining Group together account for 38%. The first one is too far away in South America, and the latter two are both in Australia. There is New Guinea between them and the new country. In order to save costs, Jiang Chen chose H Mining Group as the partner.
The flight to Melbourne only leaves at noon. Although the number of tourists to the Pannu Islands has increased recently, there is still a lot of surplus air tickets, and Ayesha bought the tickets easily.
After getting off the plane in Melbourne. I still booked a room at a nearby business hotel.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen." After seeing Jiang Chen, the hook-nosed Australian extended his hand enthusiastically.
"Nice to meet you." Jiang Chen also held his hand and shook it enthusiastically.
Oliver, one of the directors of H Group, serves as the manager of the West Branch Mine Development Branch.
Compared with such a large company with a market capitalization of US$210 billion, Futureman International is still just a small ant for the time being. Of course, no one will doubt the potential of this little ant, just like Microsoft did back then.
After the two briefly introduced themselves, they quickly got down to business.
"Monthly supply of 100,000 tons of iron ore, 200,000 tons of aluminum ore, 1,000 tons of 45% molybdenum concentrate..." Holding the contract handed over by Jiang Chen, Oliver looked at it repeatedly, his brows gradually deepening. Wrinkled.
"Is there any problem?" Jiang Chen asked.
"No, iron-aluminum ore is fine. But although this molybdenum ore is not a rare earth resource, its output has never been high, and the annual output has basically been booked." Oliver said helplessly.
"That's it." Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
The amount of molybdenum on the earth is small. Its content only accounts for 0.001% of the weight of the crust. It has a wide range of applications. Such as microcomputers, WeChat processors, offshore oil and gas pipelines, and even some agricultural fertilizers are used.
However, there is another big use of this thing that no one has discovered yet, and that is that the neural access device of the virtual reality device must use this thing. Although it is possible to get some in the apocalypse by recycling waste, it is obviously impossible to mass-produce thousands of them. So I can only find a way to do it here in this world.
"As for molybdenum ore, I suggest you try your luck in China. China is currently the world's largest producer of molybdenum ore. As for iron and aluminum ore, our company can still provide it."
"Let's talk about it later. Let's put the molybdenum ore aside for now and let's talk about the prices of iron and aluminum ore." Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.
If he goes to China to buy molybdenum concentrate, I'm afraid the Wang family won't let him buy it easily. It’s really easy to get stuck on mineral resources. From mining, environmental protection, transportation, to customs, with the energy of the Wang family, as long as there are some connections in any of these systems, he can make this business impossible.
Where can I find this molybdenum mine? There are only two places, Antarctica and the Moon.
One is not allowed by international conventions, and the other is temporarily out of reach technically.
It seems that we can only think of another way... Jiang Chen thought to himself. (.)
