Chapter 1184: Getting It Done and Not Getting It Done

The leadership positions have been adjusted, which is also a preparation for the change of government in this term.

Fan Heng is naturally quite busy. Although his position does not need to be adjusted, the current institutional reform has been approved by the top leaders, and the specific implementation still needs to be carried out under his operation.

It is precisely for this reason that there have been quite a lot of people visiting in recent times, and there are indeed quite a few people who use the children of the Fan family to find connections.

Fan Wubing felt annoyed by this and thought he had to go out and hide.

There was good news from Africa. A group of Jews gave in and expressed their willingness to support Fan Wubing.

The real mine owner is a white family from the Spanish nobility. This family has little influence in Europe. At best, it is just an ordinary rich man worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

In order to deal with the mine owner, Fan Wubing's men hired a large number of unemployed black vagrants in Africa to harass them day and night, making them unable to eat and sleep at night, and they also received news that Fan's Investment Group was planning to take action against them because of fraud.

Finally, the other party had no choice but to find Fan's Investment Group through connections and talk directly with Fan Wubing, saying that they wanted to solve the matter.

Fan Wubing's attitude was very firm. The other party completely withdrew from Africa, and the land was sold for 100 million US dollars. Others were out of the question, otherwise Fan's Investment Group would inevitably ban their entire family worldwide, letting them know what it meant to be cut off from the people and what the fate of a liar was.

At the beginning, the other party thought that Fan Wubing was scaring them, but later they found that news had begun to come from their hometown in Europe, saying that the family consortium's business had plummeted, and was being chased and blocked by several major consortiums, and the stock price had fallen below the market price. Only then did they know that what Fan Wubing said was true.

Under this circumstance, the other party had already lost the initiative, and finally had to bargain with Fan Wubing, hoping to raise the transfer price of the land and mines a little bit higher. After all, the transfer price of 100 million US dollars was too low.

However, Fan Wubing was unmoved. He saw clearly that the local government of Africa had a tight policy towards white people. It was unlikely that the other party would open a mine on their own, and it was impossible to find Chinese to cooperate in this matter. Therefore, the other party had no bargaining chips to negotiate with him.

Sure enough, after a few days of stalemate, the other party finally couldn't hold on. Several of their family businesses went bankrupt and suffered heavy losses. Finally, the mine owner had to transfer the land and mines here to Fan Investment Group at a price of 100 million US dollars, and officially signed a female-lesbian contract, which came into effect.

As soon as the contract was signed,

there was news from Europe immediately, saying that the pressure was gone, and even several consortiums that had bullied them before signed several business orders with them as compensation, which was regarded as economic compensation for the previous things.

The mine owner realized at this time that he had been looking for trouble and provoked a giant that he could not afford to offend. This time, he could only say that he had asked for trouble. Taking a step back, although he had obtained this land, he had no way to open it. There was no possibility of cooperating with other countries to open it. Being able to sell it for 100 million US dollars was always better than nothing.

After Fan Investment Group got the land, the government and Africa had almost reached an agreement. On the one hand, they built a 900-kilometer railway in the local area to help improve the living environment of the local people, and on the other hand, they obtained the right to explore and mine in the local area.

In this way, things are much simpler.

Originally, when cooperating with others, they needed to pay special attention to the contract. Now that everything is their own, it is relatively much simpler. The main problem is to communicate with the local government to see what conditions and restrictions the government has. As long as their requirements can be met, there will be no big problem.

At the same time, Fan Wubing also asked his experts to study carefully to see what way is the most cost-effective to deal with the mines here?

If it is according to the original calculation of the other party, it must be a titanium processing plant. Iron ore is actually exported as waste and garbage, and it can also get subsidies from the local government. However, there is a problem. Once these ores are exported as garbage in Africa, they will not be able to pass when they land in the mainland.

Fan Wubing is also very clear about the situation in China. No matter what you load, as long as the other party labels you as garbage, you can't bypass the transportation procedures and it is impossible to successfully declare customs.

This was not difficult for Fan Wubing. He gave some advice and changed the export destination to Indonesia. If it was exported from Indonesia to mainland China, it would avoid the label of foreign garbage.

In fact, operational problems are not problems, especially since the quality of these iron ores is much higher than that of iron ores imported from various places. Even the most stringent tests cannot tell what is wrong.

The most critical issue now is the titanium-iron separation technology. If this technology is not developed in the spring, then all activities will be in vain.

If the titanium-iron mixed ore cannot be successfully separated, even such iron ore is garbage, because although the iron content is high, it cannot enter the steelmaking furnace due to the presence of titanium, otherwise it will explode.

After investigation through intelligence channels, it was found that the other party does have this new technology, and it is a technology that is not available in any company in the world. The source of their technology is the chief engineer of a consortium of one of the largest metallurgical companies in Europe and one of the three largest mining companies in the world. Xi Prospector, the technical level is still very high, but the only flaw is that this technology has not been actually applied, and the research risks are very high. It is likely to become a bottomless pit or the research fails, and then all the money will be lost) - \&oIt is precisely because of the uncertainty in this technical data and the huge investment that the original mine owner wanted to find a Chinese partner, but he did not expect that he hit a nail. Not only did he get hurt, but the mine also Forced to change hands.

Therefore, before leaving, the other party transferred the technical data for free without malicious intent.

Fan Wubing knew their thoughts very well, and they just thought that he was useless. If Fan Investment Group had a large amount of funds consumed due to the failure of this project, then they would be happy to see it.

Regarding this issue, Fan Wubing had his own considerations. Although there was no sophisticated titanium-iron separation technology in China, there were still many experts engaged in research in this area, so he requested the information as soon as possible. After coming back, he found an expert in ore separation technology through connections to help him. After several days of analysis and verification, good news came here.

The technical information provided by the other party is indeed feasible, but it is misleading and increases the difficulty of construction, which leads to the need to spend high costs to build a separation plant. Domestic experts said that by simplifying the separation equipment, the same This goal can be achieved, but the investment will be much less.

Fan Wubing was naturally very happy when he heard the news. After all, this meant that he could no longer lose money on his investment in Africa. At the same time, he also obtained world-class ilmenite ore preparation technology and could invest at any time. application.

To this end, he specifically registered a patent for this revised technology, and at the same time hired domestic ore separation experts to go to Africa to guide the construction of separation plants and the practical application of the technology.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, some places had already begun to hold lantern shows. CCTV happened to have an interview crew to record the program, so Zi Qi called Fan Wubing to watch the lanterns with her.

They went there by car, and everyone was in high spirits along the way.

There is no shortage of eloquent people on CCTV, especially young people. When men and women are mixed together, there are many topics to talk about.

The most important topic this year is the housing issue, so no matter how much we talk about it, we can't avoid it.

"What does buying a house mean? It means that you own a house of your own." A young man said, frothing at the mouth. "Yes, you think so, but you can't own this house in China, it's just rented to you." Because the house is yours, the land is not yours, but the land use rights are only 70 years from now. That was during the Anti-Japanese War. Who has seen the houses at that time usually last about 30 years? You will encounter demolition or renovation of old houses, which means that you spend the money to buy a house, but you can only get the actual effect of renting a house. The worst thing is that you will feel that you have been cheated decades later. , a group of gangsters broke into the house you bought with your life savings, painted a big sign on it, and then threw all your belongings out the door like garbage. They ignored your pleas and even gave you a newspaper. When you have a bad reputation and are insulted by the public, you will know what despair is!"

Fan Wubing frowned when he heard it. He immediately thought of the famous joke describing China's real estate. He couldn't help but shook his head and told it to them again.

"In the past, there was a landlord who owned a lot of land and hired many long-term workers to work. The landlord built a group of unity buildings for the long-term workers to live in. One day, the landlord's adviser said to the landlord: Boss, the long-term workers have had a little money in recent years. It's not cost-effective for them to live in your house and pay monthly rent. They will live there forever anyway. You might as well sell the house to them and call it a public housing sale and tell them that the house belongs to them forever. But 1 When they got back the money they had saved over the past few years, the landlord said, "Okay, what about the rent?" The counselor said, "Let's just collect it and call it a property fee!" The landlord quickly implemented it and made a lot of money. We are so happy!

After a few years, the landlord's village developed into a town. There were more and more wealthy people and there was no place to live. The counselor said to the landlord: Boss, the long-term workers have become rich in the past few years. Let's build them new houses. , named it Old City Renovation. They gave us the money they had, and we demolished the houses and built new ones. We asked them to buy them back. They could build more and sell them to others. The landlords implemented it again. This time, some long-term workers Unhappy, the landlord's servants were put to good use, and the long-term workers had to swallow their teeth after they had their teeth knocked out. The landlord made a lot of money again.

A few years later, the landlord's village developed into a big city, with more wealthy people and the landlord's land becoming more valuable. The counselor said to the landlord: Boss, let's demolish the houses of these long-term workers and build villas here. , you can still make a fortune by building houses on the demolished land and selling it to the rich. The landlord said: What if the long-term workers don’t work? The counselor said: Let’s give them more money and call it monetized resettlement. Let’s build a house next to our pig farm and call it affordable housing. We’ll build a carriageway for them to buy a house there. Housing, the landlord said: What if they don’t have enough money? The counselor said: I borrowed it from our bank and gave it to them with an interest of 6 cents a year. We can still make money with this money, and there is no risk. The landlord has implemented it again, and the long-term workers have received the money. The landlord’s affordable housing has not been available until now. After one house was built, the long-term workers had to queue up to wait for a house. To this day, they are still waiting.

So the long-term workers started to make trouble. The landlord was a little panicked and asked the counselor what to do. The counselor said: quickly notify the long-term workers that the house price is going to drop. Don’t buy it. Let’s rent a house. We can rent our pig farm to them. As a result, after so many years, the long-term workers have lost all their money and are still renting a house. Forever! "

After Fan Wubing finished telling the joke, he realized that although everyone was laughing, their smiles were cold, obviously very irritated, so he said, "Although this joke is a bit exaggerated, in fact, why bother. Isn't it true?" Some people say that if this is the case, why do Chinese people still buy houses like crazy? Why? It is not the result of public opinion, just like in the 1960s, people were encouraged to buy three major items: watches, sewing machines, and bicycles. Only successful people can marry and have a wife. In the 1970s, it was advocated that people must buy four new items: TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and installing telephones. Only those who are successful can marry and have children. I remember that installing telephones cost thousands of dollars each. When there were tens of thousands of mobile phones in Beijing and Shanghai, they still had to queue up to buy accounts and get favors. How similar is it to today’s buying and selling? And today, all the bullshit scholars have started this old trick of fooling the people again: The new standard for white-collar workers, successful people are choosing small apartments on xhuanx road and commercial and residential ones on xhuanx road. After paying you hundreds of thousands, they still have to charge you rent every month, called new property fees, and the bank. Interest rates, as well as all kinds of cleverly-named interest rate increases, policies, etc. In short, I am not afraid that you will not be punished to death, but I am afraid that you will not die miserably! Why are ordinary people so willing to be fooled and never tire of it? "

This is what Fan Wubing feels. International matters can be easily solved, but domestic matters may not be solved despite all the efforts. Between being able to be solved and being unable to be solved, Mr. Fan himself I also feel a little confused.

"Brother, you see clearly." After a long time, the young man who originally spoke said to Fan Wubing.
