421 My Feet Are so Sore
In fact, Glencore means "global energy commodity resources". This resource is not only oil, but also mine resources. Glencore has 150 mines and factories in more than 50 countries around the world. The resources are of good grade. In the past Over the past few years, the output of copper has steadily exceeded one million tons, the output of zinc has also approached one million tons, the output of coal has exceeded 100 million tons, the output of nickel has exceeded 100,000 tons, and the output of oil has exceeded 5 million tons.
Of course, such a horizontal comparison may not show the influence of Glencore. After all, there is still a big gap between the mainstream commodities and metals operated by Glencore and other traditional mining giants. Glencore is the world's largest cobalt ore producer, and its output is expected to be 38,000 tons in the next few years. It is well-deserved No. 1 in the world, with a market share of more than 30%.
In Africa, there are as many as 10 mines producing gold and cobalt mines in the Congo, with a total cobalt resource of about 7.23 million tons, accounting for 70% of the world's output. The direct holding company of 5 mines is Glencore, Glencore The amount of cobalt resources controlled by the company accounts for about 67% of the amount of cobalt resources in the mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which together account for 49% of the world's cobalt reserves;
Cobalt is already recognized as one of the most popular commodities in the global precious metals market, with an annual price increase of more than 100%. At present, the price of cobalt on the London Metal Exchange has exceeded 70,000 US dollars per ton. It can be expected that the price of cobalt is far from touching There is still a considerable distance to the ceiling.
Why is the metal cobalt so hot? Mainly due to the rapid development of electric vehicles in recent years, even children of a few years old know that the future is dominated by electric vehicles, and the battery of each car consumes about 10 kilograms of cobalt.
Recently, Glencore hired a dedicated team to study the global impact of electric vehicles on metals markets.
According to the study, when electric vehicles are expected to account for 2% of global new car sales by 2020, the demand for related metals has become significant, requiring an additional 390,000 tons of copper, 85,000 tons of nickel and 24,000 tons. It is self-evident what this means to Glencore, which controls two-thirds of the world's cobalt resources.
In addition, not only cobalt, but Glencore's copper and nickel production cannot be underestimated. These are essential elements for electric vehicles.
With the support of these data, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of these investment giants seeking to acquire Glencore. A company capable of leading the transformation of the auto industry deserves any attention.
But what kind of role did Zheng Jiaxuan play in this matter?
Putting down the phone, Yang Cheng walked out of the bedroom with a preoccupied look. Susu, who had finished watching the interview show, was standing on the sofa doing stretching exercises. However, Yang Cheng was not in the mood to appreciate the alluring scenery. Too many things made him feel overwhelmed and depressed, and urgently needed some good news to relieve his tense nerves, otherwise he would have to collapse.
Of course, it might be a bit exaggerated to say so, but Yang Cheng's current state is indeed not very good, his face is livid, he wants to do something but doesn't know how to do it, coupled with the low air pressure brought by the rain outside, the top of his head is black.
Susu finally noticed Yang Cheng's strangeness, she jumped off the sofa and ran over lightly with bare feet, with her hands behind her back and her delicate little face upturned, with an innocent smile on her face, she met Yang Cheng's confused eyes, as if something Puckering her red lips thoughtfully, she gently hugged Yang Cheng.
Smelling the fragrance of shampoo on the top of Susu's head, the nerves that were stretched straight before were disconnected in an instant with a 'bang', and he closed his eyes unconsciously, took a deep breath, and brought the smell The freshness circled in the lungs, and opened the eyes again. The backlog of troubles seemed to be blown away by the wind, and the heart calmed down. I hope so.
Embracing her tender body in relief, the two of them didn't speak, they just stood quietly embracing each other, neither the sound of rain outside the window nor the music on the TV could break the beauty.
After about 5 minutes, Susu's body suddenly sank, and she said aggrievedly, "My feet are so sore."
Yang Cheng froze for a moment, only to realize that Susu had been standing on tiptoe in order to cooperate with her, and she was used to the height of wearing high heels, but suddenly she was half a head shorter again, Yang Cheng couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing.
"Bad guy, thanks to my good intentions to comfort you, I'm ignoring you." Su Su, who understood, pushed Yang Cheng away, ran into the bedroom in a hurry, and made a face at Yang Cheng before closing the door.
Yang Cheng, who was about to burst into tears from laughter, couldn't help shouting, "What's the matter, are you still shy? Don't you have dinner tonight?"
Susu might be hiding behind the door, and a crisp voice came through the door, "I don't want to eat, I want to lose weight, big bastard!"
Yang Cheng would not let it go easily, and continued to tease the little girl, "You won't grow taller if you don't eat!"
"Bang!" The door slammed, and the little girl lost her temper.
The funny Yang Cheng just wanted to knock on the door and call the little girl out for a good coaxing. His mobile phone rang from the bedroom. A few seconds later, the bedroom door opened. Seeing his black iPhone flying out of his face, he instinctively reached out to catch it, the ringing was still ringing, and looking at the bedroom door, it had been closed again, as if it had never been opened.
Speechlessly, he touched his aching chest that was hit by the phone, swiped the screen to answer, and said angrily, "Hey, what's the matter?"
On the opposite side, Andrew heard Yang Cheng's displeased voice, and subconsciously asked, "Eh~boss, are you bothering you?"
Yang Cheng glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and immediately scolded with a smile, "Get out~ I have something to say~"
Andrew said in a rather aggrieved tone, "Oh, it's such a boss. Things are exactly as you and Hansen expected. Skyler did not leave Roosevelt Island."
"Really?" Yang Cheng was overjoyed. Could it be that Su Su is her own goddess of luck? Just a hug can bring infinite good luck?
Andrew replied affirmatively, "Yes boss, I ordered my subordinates to collect the surveillance video of the entire Roosevelt Island, checked it thoroughly without missing a second, and found that 5 people entered Mr. Schuyler's room one after another. It seems that there should be It was a gang, and there was a van that went to the island together. The glass was covered with black film, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.
However, according to the compression of the tires of the van, it can be inferred that there are still people inside, and Mr. Schuyler should be in the car, because the van went straight to Mr. Schuyler's residence after getting off the boat, and five people went upstairs to search for about half an hour. After a few hours, I returned to the car with nothing. After staying there for a short time, I turned around and went straight to the north of Roosevelt Island, stopping at the blind spot of the video surveillance.
But they never came out after that, they probably haven’t left yet, and I went to confirm it myself, and the van is still parked there, so I’m 80% sure that Mr. Schuyler is there.
Now that our people have surrounded that area, we are waiting for your next order from the boss! "
