Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Wang Lu naturally had no objection to this, and would not dampen other people's enthusiasm for work.

And only if this important strategic resource is discovered clearly one day earlier can they rest assured.

Wang Lu also issued an order to give his subordinates the power to cooperate with domestic working groups in exploration work. Almost the entire ranch, except for the helium field, had to give in to the detection of rare earth mines.

For a full month, the entire working group conducted multiple rounds of sampling and testing within the scope of the guano phosphate rock to determine the area, size and reserves of the rare earth mine.

Basically, whenever there is progress, Wang Lu will get a first-hand report.

The specific reserves of the rare earth mine under the ranch have also been preliminary calculated.

"The reserves are expected to exceed two million tons..."

Wang Lu mentally repeated the number reported to him by the working group.

To be honest, Wang Lu didn't understand the meaning of this number at first, but after briefly searching for information online, he roughly understood it.

A few years ago, Sweden discovered a rare earth mine with reserves of about one million tons, which is already the largest rare earth mine in the entire European Union...

There is no doubt that the rare earth mineral reserves under Wanglu Ranch are astonishing.

Of course, for China, which occupies the world's major rare earth market, two million tons of reserves are nothing.

But with the current domestic policy of tightening rare earth exports, the two-million-ton rare earth mine under the ranch will undoubtedly drive countries that desperately need to get rid of domestic repression crazy!

Especially after further investigation, it was found that the rare earth mines under Wanglu Ranch were all heavy rare earths that could be mined and simply refined, so their value was even higher.

If the entire rare earth mine is fully mined, whichever country can obtain the mining rights can guarantee the usage of rare earths in the next five to ten years without being constrained.

Once this news is released, Wang Lu's ranch will immediately become the focus of the world!

So it was precisely based on this that on the day the working group came to its conclusion, Wang Lu received a personal call from the boss of the domestic Ministry of Energy.

Of course, there is no need to say more about what was discussed on the phone!

Wang Lu also readily agreed to the request for domestic cooperation.

It’s just that Wang Lu has no intention of directly mining the rare earth minerals under the ranch!

To be honest, the value of this rare earth mine is undoubtedly greater than that of the helium field. An ordinary person would have been eager to sell its mining rights in exchange for visible profits. .

But for Wang Lu, his net worth is already enough!

Without being pretentious at all, the number on his account is really just a number to him now.

With his current financial resources, even if the number on his account were to increase several times, his quality of life would not be able to improve.

Wang Lu can basically enjoy all the things that money can buy in the world, it just depends on whether he wants to.

However, once rare earth minerals are mined, they will completely pollute the surrounding ecological environment.

The mining of helium gas fields can have minimal impact on the ecology of the grassland zone because it is isolated by the Woulu Mountains.

However, this rare earth mine is directly on the edge of Lake Victoria and extends to the grassland. Once mined, it will pollute the lake area and the grassland.

Both aquatic animals in the lake area and wild animals on the grasslands will be affected.

This is what Wang Lu doesn't want to see!

At the same time, in addition to Wang Lu's own patriotism, this is also an important reason why Wang Lu chose to cooperate with China. If other countries around the world know about our two million tons of rare earth reserves, as long as they get the mining rights, it is doomed that large-scale construction of the ranch will be a certainty.

Their purpose is only to mine out those rare earth mineral oxides.

But it is different in China. The country's annual output of rare earths is enough for domestic consumption, and it can also be exported. Even in order to exchange some other benefits through rare earths, the country can still reduce its annual output of rare earths.

Only by cooperating with the country, this rare earth mine will not be required to be mined, and Wang Lu's request to maintain the status quo can be met!

For the country, this is also very clear.

Once the rare earth mining rights of Wanglu Ranch fall into the hands of other countries, especially those that are vaguely hostile, the effectiveness of the country's rare earth control strategy will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the country also urgently needs to cooperate with Wang Lu to ensure the continued implementation of the national strategy.

To put it bluntly, the country does not need the rare earth reserves of Wanglu Ranch at all, but must ensure that these rare earth reserves will not flow into the hands of other countries.

Ever since, the two sides hit it off immediately.

The specific cooperation plan still needs further discussion.

"Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. There are too many things going on in the country recently. If possible, I'm afraid I need you to return to China for an interview. Otherwise, I will definitely go to Africa with my old bones!"

The boss of the Ministry of Energy expressed his apology on the phone. Wang Lu also knew that the country was currently in a meeting, so he naturally expressed his understanding.

Returning to the country is not a troublesome thing for me.

Wang Lu immediately sent a message to the flight crew docked at Kilimanjaro Airport, asking them to prepare for their flight back home.

On this trip back to China, in addition to Wang Lu himself, he was accompanied by Richard and Old Sanders.

After all, as their legal and financial supervisors, they naturally have to bring them when discussing such a large cooperation.

Wang Lu and the people in the energy department just discussed the general method of cooperation and set a tone and general direction.

The specific cooperation details must be finalized by Sanders, Richard and the team members. Otherwise, Wang Lu would have a headache if he had to rely on Wang Lu alone to discuss the detailed terms one by one.

If that were the case, Wang Lu would rather never discover that rare earth mine!

Isn’t this simply causing a decline in my quality of life...

The other members of the team took flights to the country, and there was no way that Wang Lu's Gulfstream G550 could accommodate only a limited number of people.

This kind of cooperation project requires at least a dozen team members!

Of course, Wang Lu didn't treat them badly, and reimbursed all first-class passengers for the entire journey.

After the project is over, Wang Lu will give each of them a bonus as usual, plus paid holidays!

There is absolutely no need to worry about benefits when working with Wang Lu, and Wang Lu never cheats. He only provides two types of benefits, cash and paid holidays! (End of chapter)
