Chapter 253 What I Said Is Simple, Get the First Market Share! (6K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)
As soon as he heard that people from the Sixth Star Kingdom were coming, Ali started to pretend to be sick.
The Chinese people were coming soon. Wouldn't he be asking for trouble by contacting people from the sixth-class star country at this time?
This situation is like having already decided to fall in love with a girl, but then another girl comes to the door and asks to talk to her. Should we talk about it or not?
The answer is of course no!
Isn’t it immoral to talk about both sides?
After hearing that Ali was ill, Dempsey from the sixth-class star country became angry.
"Is he pretending to be sick? Why was he fine before we came?"
"Don't be angry, Mr. Dempsey. Ali must have been too tired during this period, so he fell ill. He told me that he would be fine after just two days of rest."
"In the past two days, I will take you to learn about our rare earth mines, so that when you take over, you don't need to spend time learning about it."
Hearing what Biso said, Dempsey gradually calmed down.
Biso's words eased Dempsey's anger, and he decided to believe Ali's words for the time being.
"Well, if Ali needs to rest, then we will wait until he recovers before discussing cooperation." Demps said, "Now let's understand the situation of rare earth mines first."
Bisuo nodded quickly, "Then please follow me. I will take you to understand our rare earth mine so that you can go more smoothly when taking over."
"We have all the information here, I'll get it for you."
Bisso was taking Dempsey to the conference room, but he didn't expect Henry to come to him at this time.
"Demps, I didn't expect you to come too?" Henry said hello as soon as he saw Demps.
"Hahaha, of course I have to come here for the rare earth mines here."
Henry had actually known for a long time that Dempsey was also coming to fight for the mining rights of rare earth minerals. This was not a big problem for the ugly people.
Anyway, the things of the sixth-class star country belong to them, and they will not suffer in the end.
When sixth-class star nations obtain mining rights, they still need to cooperate with their companies. After going round and round about rare earths, they still have their share.
"Demps, I heard that the pirate you were looking for was unreliable and has been arrested."
When someone mentioned this to his face, Dempsey looked a little confused. He said: "Those idiots can't do any simple things well, but if you want to blame them, you have to blame the drones of Pilot Technology!"
"Biso, why are the drones from Leading Technology at your place?"
"This... seems to have been brought in by old Corey, saying he wanted to protect the rare earth mines."
"Ali allowed it?"
"It's allowed, but now we don't have enough firepower to protect the rare earth mines. If this continues, someone will come to steal the mines, so it's best to use drone patrols."
Dempsey had a sullen face, thinking that when the mining rights were obtained, he would blow up those unsightly drones to pieces!
A day and a half passed in a flash.
Sergey's plane landed at the airport of the Mosang tribe.
To say that the airport is a bit flattering is what he saw.
This is a relatively flat dirt road!
On one side of the land, there are several simple wooden benches placed, like a temporary waiting room.
The roof of the waiting room is made of simple woven straw. Although it is quite simple, it can barely block some sunlight and rain.
In a corner of the waiting room, there were some simple suitcases and sundries piled up, making it look very messy.
At the other end of the runway, there is an old small plane parked. The mottled paint and rusty wings of the plane show the traces of time.
Next to the plane, several local residents were busy cleaning the plane. It seemed that they cherished the small plane very much.
Sergey's special plane looked out of place in this plain "airport".
The metal shell of the special plane shines brightly and is extremely neat, forming a sharp contrast with the old small planes around it.
Faced with the envious looks cast by the locals, Sergey felt like a ray of light on his back.
At first, he was a little dissatisfied with Luo Yao's arrangement for him to come to Feizhou. He felt that it was a long and boring task that was not worth his time. He wanted to do more meaningful things.
But now, he seemed to suddenly understand Luo Yao's intention.
They exist not only for the rich in the world, but also for these places that the world has forgotten.
If we can help them, the meaning is no worse than if they stay in the laboratory!
They took several vans and arrived at the place arranged by Ali in a low-key manner.
"I didn't expect that you guys would actually bring the drone over without signing an agreement!" Ali said with eyes full of surprise.
"We are serious about working with you, Mr. Ali."
"Do you want to test these drones? Mr. Luo said that these drones are the latest third-generation product of Linghang Technology, called 'Youlong'. The drones you have seen before are Linghang Technology's third-generation products. Generation product.”
"Youlong UAV is equipped with a new artificial intelligence system and electromagnetic gun equipment."
"This means that it has more advanced autonomous flight and mission execution capabilities. This artificial intelligence system can allow the drone to perform various tasks more intelligently, such as autonomous flight, target recognition, path planning, etc., thus greatly improving efficiency and accuracy in performing tasks.”
"The electromagnetic gun equipment it carries allows it to have more powerful firepower support when performing missions."
"Electromagnetic gun equipment can not only achieve long-range attack targets, but also has high accuracy and destructive power, and can effectively deal with various complex combat environments and threats."
The more Ali listened, the more frightened he became.
That Mr. Luo was so generous, giving them such good equipment!
In this way, wouldn't the drones they own be stronger than those of their neighboring Zambi tribe?
To be honest, Ali really wanted to test Youlong's specific performance when he heard this, but now that he said it, Ali always felt a little offended.
After hesitating for a moment, Ali said: "No need, Mr. Cai. Since Mr. Luo has shown us his sincerity, I believe he is sincerely willing to help us. Let's sign an agreement to transfer the mining rights first!"
"Sign it now? Doesn't it mean that the ownership of the mining rights needs to be agreed by both Peso and Old Corey?"
After Ali was stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "I am their leader, so I don't need their consent."
Brother, what I want is your words!
The Chinese people present came up with this idea.
Ali asked someone to bring out the information that had been prepared long ago, and the two parties quietly completed a transaction in the room.
Since Luo Yao was not present, the agreements were signed by Cai Yue.
After all the formalities were completed, Ali announced the news.
Peso, who was drinking with Dempsey and Henry, was half sober after receiving the news!
"How could Ali do this?" Bisuo was filled with anger.
As the head of the Department of Mineral Resources, he knew that signing a mining rights transfer agreement required the joint consent of him and Old Corey, but Ali actually signed such an agreement without authorization. This was because he did not want to take their opinions into consideration at all!
Bisso quickly told Dempsey and Henry about the outcome of the matter, and both of them looked ugly.
"What do we do now?" Henry asked.
"What else can I do? Of course I want to ask Ali for an explanation! Isn't Ali sick? Why did he sign out all the mining rights!"
Demps took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, "We must take action as soon as possible to prevent the implementation of this agreement. We cannot let Pilot Technology trample on our rights and interests like this!"
"Let's go! Let's gather everyone to find Ali!"
Two-thirds of the people Demps brought were special forces. He didn't believe it and couldn't deal with Ali.
"Should we deal with Ali directly? For what reason?"
Dempsey smiled coldly and said, "It doesn't matter what reason you use. You can make it up later anyway."
Demps took the people out and found that they seemed to be surrounded.
He looked up and saw dozens of drones with their gun barrels exposed in mid-air!
It was like a wild beast extending its sharp claws, making him shudder!
"Fake! Where did so many drones come from?"
"What are you doing? Are you threatening us?" Dempsey shouted angrily.
No one answered him.
Dempsey felt as if the air around him had condensed, so oppressive that he could hardly breathe.
His mood became heavier and heavier. Faced with this sudden crisis, he felt unprecedented pressure! ,
Dempsey felt an invisible pressure, which made him feel flustered, as if he was being oppressed by a huge mountain!
"Demps, we can't act rashly now. These drones should be from leading technology. You never know what these lunatics can do."
"Remember the Soma pirates? Even they are afraid of Pilot Technology."
Dempsey took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. His fingers were trembling slightly, his heartbeat was racing, and he tried his best to calm down.
"What should we do now?" His voice trembled slightly, "This ghost place itself is not safe. What if we are really killed here..."
"We have to leave quickly. What do you say to a group of barbarians? We have plenty of opportunities to deal with them." Henry said bitterly.
Just because they can't do anything here doesn't mean they can't do anything after they get out!
Half an hour later, escorted by drones, they arrived at the airport.
Before leaving, Dempsey glanced at the drone that was watching eagerly not far away, and said to Henry: "I remember that your Mountain Pass mine is being auctioned. Our rare earth cooperation will not change in the future, right?"
"Of course not. The companies participating in the Mountain Pass mineral auction are all companies from our country, and cooperation will continue as usual."
Henry assured him.
Dempsey then walked to their special plane with confidence.
If they can't even keep the rare earths from the Mountain Pass Mine, then they won't have any raw materials to use if they want to vigorously develop the military industry!
Dempsey, who breathed a sigh of relief, got on the special plane. When he saw the dilapidated airport from the window of the plane, disgust flashed in his eyes.
Henry also got on the special plane. He took out his mobile phone and called the person in charge of the Mountain Pass mineral rights auction.
"How are things going now?"
"The auction has ended. MPMO finally acquired the mining rights. We are currently in the process of handing over the mining rights."
"MPMO company?" Henry couldn't remember the situation of this company.
"It was established by JHL Capital, QVT Capital and a capital company from Singapore."
Henry remembered.
"If it's them, then there's no problem. Just sign it and move forward with the next step."
"clear!"
Representatives of JHL Capital and QVT Capital, as well as Li Chok Tong, were sitting at the signing venue.
Documents and pens and ink were neatly placed on the long white table, waiting for signatures from representatives of both parties.
There were only a few warm yellow chandeliers swaying slightly in the venue, casting a soft light, and the logos of MPMO and Mountain Pass Minerals were hung on the walls, highlighting the formality of the signing.
"Mr. Li, you shocked us all when you made your final bid, 50 billion. The price was nearly 5 billion Ugly Coins higher than we expected. We never knew you were so strong!"
Li Chok Tong sneered in his heart. Even if these people knew the strength of their company, they might not be able to understand it. They only saw the 50 billion ugly coins on the surface, but did not realize the strength and resources behind it.
When Zheng Yang told him that the Mozang tribe's minerals had been acquired by Luo Yao without spending any money, Zheng Yang increased the budget for him to 70 billion ugly coins.
With this money, there is basically no suspense for him to win the Mountain Pass Mineral Company!
He looked at the people around him calmly and was already planning the next action in his mind. The signing was just the beginning. They had more important work to do. They must ensure the stable operation of rare earth minerals and pave the way for the company's development.
I just don’t know how these people will react when they find out that they are essentially a Chinese company.
Signing begins.
With expectant eyes, he quickly signed his name on the contract.
After checking that the contract was correct, David, the head of Chouguo Natural Resources, enthusiastically held Li Chok Tong's hand and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Li on winning the 30-year mining rights in Mountain Pass!"
"I wonder what Mr. Li's next plans are? Do you have your own mining and refining team?"
Li Chok Tong nodded and smiled: "Of course, our team's technology is mature and can stand the test."
David looked surprised and said: "That's great. Mining and refining rare earths is technically difficult. It would be great if you have a mature team to help."
"Tomorrow we can take your technical team to the mine to have a look? What do you think?"
“No problem, I’m sure the guys on my team will be excited to see Mountain Pass Minerals!”
Li Chok Tong has already arranged for domestic technical experts from China to come to Chou Country. Let alone go to the site now, he can just let them start work immediately!
"That's great, we can start early tomorrow morning." David said excitedly, "I'm looking forward to working with your team."
The next day, David took the lead and led people to the vicinity of Mountain Pass Mineral Mountain to wait for the arrival of Li Chok Tong and others.
After JHL Capital and QVT Capital arrived, Li Chok Tong's car slowly drove into the Mountain Pass Mineral Area.
After more than a dozen cars stopped steadily in a row, Li Chok Tong took the lead and got out of the car.
Then others followed and walked down.
David welcomed these people with a smile on his face, but gradually he stopped smiling.
"Mr. Li, are all these people from your country?"
"Of course not. When it comes to mining and refining technology, Chinese talents are great, so my team is all Chinese."
David looked a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Li, maybe I didn't make it clear. In the mining team and the refining team, we can only use Chou people."
Li Chok Tong stood still and said slowly: "Why? We are a Chinese company, so of course we have to use Chinese people. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Are we a Chinese company?
David and others stared blankly at Li Chok Tong, obviously not reacting.
"Mr. Li, are you wrong? How could you be a Huaguo company?"
Li Chok Tong said calmly: "That's right, the full name of our holding company of Poly International Trade is Shenghe Poly International Trade. It is a pure Chinese company."
David's eyes widened, and his head suddenly buzzed, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"Shenghe Poguo International Trade Co., Ltd.? Huaguo Company?" David repeated Li Chok Tong's words, his eyes showing disbelief and shock.
He could hardly believe what he heard, and endless doubts and speculations filled his heart for a while.
How could Li Chok Tong's company be a Huaguo company?
Isn’t Li Chok Tong a native of Singapore?
David couldn't help but begin to doubt everything before, and there was an indescribable anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
This unexpected discovery made him feel like he was sitting on the head of a needle!
"If your company is a Chinese company, sorry, we can ask JHL Capital and QVT Capital to kick you out."
"I remember that in MPMO company, JHL Capital and QVT Capital hold 74% and 16% of the shares respectively, but you only hold 10%. They have the right to kick your company away."
Li Chok Tong smiled disdainfully.
"David, do you know that they both hold common shares, while I hold preferred shares."
"According to our internal agreement, the mining, refining, operating rights and management of the entire mine belong to us. JHL Capital and QVT Capital you mentioned have no right to interfere with me."
Li Chok Tong's confident look successfully made David collapse.
He looked at the people from JHL Capital and QVT Capital and found that their faces were ashen.
David realized that this time they personally delivered the only rare earth mine being mined to outsiders.
Now that the documents have been handed over, they will face huge compensation once they tear up the treaty!
If it really gets to that point, they will suffer a big loss!
The only solution now is to follow the agreement they signed.
Let people exploit it honestly for thirty years!
"Then you make arrangements."
After hearing David squeeze out these words from between his teeth, Li Chok Tong smiled.
Finally, the raw materials are ready.
Li Chok Tong looked to the far east. He was a little curious to know what kind of amazing product the genius would develop next after knowing that they had obtained the mining rights in Mountain Pass.
The news that Shenghepo International Trade Company had obtained the mining rights in Mountain Pass spread quickly.
"What the hell? Huaguo Company knows how to play! It actually obtained the mining rights of Mountain Pass! Is this not allowed to be included in the teaching materials of Stanford Business School?"
"Hahaha, my family is really laughing so hard! Where is Chouguo Company? Why was the mining rights of Mountain Pass given to a foreign company? I suddenly feel embarrassed!"
"Rare earth minerals are industrial gold, and many equipment cannot be built without them. I never thought that the Ugly people would be so generous!"
"I checked and found that Mountain Pass is the only rare earth mine in the country that is currently being mined. In other words, apart from this, they have no other rare earth mines to use!"
"It's funny, whether they can use rare earths in the future depends on whether our people are willing!"
When the news reached Luo Yao's ears, Luo Yao looked at Zheng Yang in front of him and felt that this old man was so good at hiding things!
He actually hid it all from him!
But on second thought, he felt that this was also a good thing.
After all, he now owns his own mine, unlike other companies that ask the government for rare earths.
"Congratulations on adding another rare earth, but I shouldn't be able to use the rare earth in Mountain Pass. The quality is not as good as that of the Mosang Tribe." After Luo Yao congratulated Zheng Yang, he did not forget to comment.
Zheng Yang:......
Why did you choose this kid?
Sure enough, children from rich families just don’t know the suffering in the world!
They are the only ones in the world who have no shortage of rare earth resources now.
It can be said that after several generations of efforts, they have collected all rare earth species in the world!
Luo Yao wanted to make a choice, but he indeed had the capital.
They have plenty!
And countries like Chou Country, from now on, can only buy rare earths by hugging their thighs tightly!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yang suddenly asked: "Gong Luo, if the Chou people want to buy the rare earth produced by the Mozang tribe, will you sell it?"
"Of course it will, but the quantity and quality will be limited."
"They are not smart, but money is innocent. Rather than letting others cheat their money, it is better for me to make it!" Luo Yao spoke without any hesitation, and Zheng Yang could see his frankness. tremble with fear.
Sure enough, people who do great things are mainly ruthless.
"The next electric vehicle project and AI medical cabin project will cost a lot of money. If I don't help them, who will?"
When Zheng Yang heard this, he asked with concern: "Which project are you going to start first?"
Luo Yao thought for a while and said: "Electric vehicles, this is simpler. For the AI medical cabin project, I will first arrange for experts to feed data to the deep learning model."
Zheng Yang nodded and agreed: "The electric vehicle project is indeed easier to start, and the market demand is also huge. We can use existing technology and resources to advance the project as soon as possible."
"When I say simple, I mean to get the first place in market share!" Luo Yao knew that Zheng Yang had misunderstood, so he added.
How easy it is to build an electric car!
He wants much more than that!
For Luo Yao, everything must be developed to the extreme!
"Number one in terms of market share? Luogong, now the number one is the Tesla Model Y, and the number two is the Tesla Model 3. It is difficult for our cars to surpass them in the proportion of our cars. The consumer market is not ours to decide."
"Only fools would compete with them on the original track. What I want to do is to open up a new electric vehicle track!"
Zheng Yang was silent.
He didn't know if he was used to Luo Yao's speaking style, but now he actually felt that Luo Yao was not insulting them, but stating a fact!
