Rebirth of the Evil Life

Lin Feng didn't wait long before Tom Wright arrived. Lin Feng was shocked when he saw this. Tom Wright's body was covered in dust, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, his dark circles under his eyes were particularly scary, and his eyes were even more bloodshot.

"Tom, what's wrong with you?" Lin Feng asked in shock.

"Boss, I have studied carefully for several days. After multiple detections, I found that the reserve capacity of this rare earth mine is about 2 million tons! But as for the rare minerals it contains, further testing is needed." Tom Wright kept saying Rub hands together.

2 million tons of rare earth ore! Lin Feng knows a little about rare earth minerals. This rare earth mineral is a general term for a mineral. There are more than 250 kinds of rare earth minerals that have been discovered, of which about 50 to 60 are of industrial value. The most important rare earth mineral is cerium fluorocarbon. (lanthanum) ore, monazite, xenotime, ion-adsorbed rare earth ore, yttrium-niobium ore, etc.

The current selling prices on the market vary widely depending on the types of minerals they contain. For example, the price of the most common lanthanum oxide is about 13-15 yuan per kilogram, and the price of one ton is also 13,000-15,000 yuan. But if it is terbium oxide, its price is as high as 2,500-3,000 yuan per kilogram, and the price of one ton is between 2.5 million and 3 million yuan.

But now the reserves are as high as 2 million tons. Calculated based on the cheapest lanthanum oxide, one ton is 13,000 yuan. That 2 million tons is also 26 billion yuan, and the value is about 3.5 billion US dollars. Of course, this only refers to the cheapest lanthanum oxide. In reality, this ton of rare earth ore will never be entirely lanthanum oxide. Some high-quality rare earth ores contain mostly terbium oxide. Therefore, the estimated market value of this rare earth mine should be around US$10 billion. Of course, if the content of those precious minerals is high, then the value cannot be determined. Even tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars are possible.

The total cost of investing in and building this 'Heavenly Palace' is about US$7 billion. In other words, if you build this 'Heavenly Palace' yourself, you will basically make a profit without losing anything.

"Boss. I'm going to dig another tunnel to isolate it from the undersea tunnel that originally leads overseas to facilitate our mining. This rare earth mine has a full capacity of 2 million tons, and based on my current observations and research, I'm afraid it's worth It will not be less than 30 billion U.S. dollars. It contains extremely high levels of rare minerals. Of course, I am not an expert in this field, so I need more professionals to identify it. But anyway, this is it. A huge asset," said Tom Wright.

Lin Feng nodded. Although compared with the upcoming financial crisis, Lin Feng does not take these tens of billions of dollars too seriously. But Tom Wright is right, this is indeed a big asset. No matter how small this fly is, it is still meat. There is no reason for me to give up these tens of billions of rare earth mines. In particular, rare earth minerals are indispensable substances in various industries. It's better to have it yourself than to buy it in the market. After all, most of these are purchased by the state. If a private company purchases rare earth minerals in large quantities,

This will inevitably arouse suspicion. Self-produced and sold, it couldn't be more concealed.

"Okay, dig another one, how to dig it, how to start the work. How many people are needed, how to cooperate, you have the final say! In short, one must be hidden!" Lin Feng ordered.

"Boss, I understand this. It's just in this early stage. I'm afraid there will be more noise, and I'm afraid that some dirt will be dug up, which will arouse suspicion." Tom Wright said helplessly. At the beginning, Tom Wright had already planned all the transportation of earth. It has been several months and no new earth has been transported. As a result, now that the exterior decoration has started, new soil has been dug out. Especially when the soil and rocks appear to come from a depth of several hundred meters underground, this inevitably arouses suspicion. Tom Wright is worried that if he restarts work now, people will notice it.

Rare earth mines are much more precious than gold mines. After all, this gold is of little use except to be worn to show off. The world has long since passed the gold standard period. Now comes the credit mechanism. Rare earth minerals are indispensable raw materials for industry and are the core key substances. There is no comparison between the two. If someone discovers it, Lin Feng will not be able to save this mine. No matter how good the relationship with Lin Feng is, it is impossible for Lin Feng to be allowed to privately own this mineral. Everything on this land belongs to the country. As the discoverer, Lin Feng can mine, but he must report it to the state, pay taxes, and his sales must be approved by the state. These are completely two concepts. Therefore, it must be kept secret.

New dirt! Lin Feng tapped his forehead with his fingers. This was indeed a problem. If someone discovered it, it would be terrible.

"Well, can't we digest this new soil internally?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, this is really not possible. The space we have reserved now is for the previous undersea tunnel. Now we have to dig another one, and there is no place to put the soil. And this is a large area of ​​soil. This Transporting it outside will inevitably arouse suspicion. If someone is aware of it, whether it is a rare earth mine or this undersea tunnel, it will be difficult to explain to the outside world," Tom Wright said helplessly.

This rare earth mine is certainly a problem, but this undersea tunnel is also a problem. These are existences that cannot be stated clearly to the outside world and cannot be known to the outside world.

Lin Feng frowned. This is really troublesome. No excuse!

Tom Wright also had a frown on his face. He had been thinking about this excuse all day and night, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find any good excuse that could prevent others from noticing his and others' intentions. Such a huge amount of earth and rocks was unearthed. , a thoughtful person, or someone with a little bit of construction knowledge, can make an estimate and know that there must be a problem here. If you don't find a suitable excuse, something will definitely go wrong in the end. Therefore, there must be an excuse, and it is a very reasonable excuse.

"Hey, by the way, Tom, you look so tired. You must not have slept well for a few days. Come on, I'll get you a bottle of 'Qili' to relieve your pain. Then after we figure out a solution, you can go and have a good rest." Get some sleep." Lin Feng got up and went to get the Qili for Tom Wright.

Taking the Qili, Tom Wright drank it down in one gulp. He was really tired, but he couldn't sleep because he was thinking about the rare earth mine. How could he sleep under such high mental stress. But people are extremely tired, so at this time, what is needed most is ‘Qi Li’. After drinking this bottle of "Qili", I feel much more comfortable. Of course, this effect is also limited. After all, this person is too tired, and the effect of 'Qili' will be greatly reduced. But if it lasts at least a few more hours, there's absolutely no problem.

But it was almost dawn, and the two of them had no good solution. This excuse of changing the design drawings is too far-fetched. Because you are building a 365-meter-high mountain out of thin air. With such a large amount of work, you want to say that you started construction without having a blueprint conceived in advance. Is this possible? As for temporary changes, that doesn't make sense. Because if you want to change, obviously only the buildings on the mountain will be changed, not the entire mountain. The mountain is already there, there is no reason for you to change it. Besides, it's not necessary.

In short, after much deliberation, I have never been able to think of an excuse that is enough to convince everyone.

"Tom, how about this? Let's go have some breakfast and drink some morning wine first. Maybe as soon as we eat this thing and drink some wine, the idea will come to us!" Lin Feng touched his belly. He didn't sleep all night, which was particularly demanding on his physical strength. Big, I'm hungry again, so I need to eat first. If my stomach isn't full, I won't have the energy to do anything!

Tom Wright touched his stomach. He was indeed starving for a long time. He only ate some dry bread and drank some mineral water. He needed to eat some rice or something. And he has a special liking for Chinese breakfast. I'm especially interested in those breakfast noodles and some beef offal that I had for breakfast.

"Yeah!" Tom Wright stood up and followed Lin Feng out of the villa. He drove all the way out and found a small shop that wasn't that big. He ordered some haggis, beef offal and the like, and made two more. Two bottles of white wine and a bowl of morning noodles, the two of them drank facing each other.

"Tom, let me tell you, this is China. If you want to eat the most authentic and authentic food, don't go to the magnificently decorated hotels. You can only eat some big meals there. The real China Snacks must be found in a small place like this. Not only are they high quality and cheap, they are also absolutely authentic!" Lin Feng boasted, "Of course, the flavor here in Shanghai is a bit too sweet. If you want to go to my hometown, there are flavors from all over the country! , sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, people in our hometown eat all of them, unlike those in Sichuan and Hunan who can only eat spicy food, nor like those in Chongqing who can only eat spicy food, nor like those in Shanghai who like to eat sweets so much, our hometown Although it’s not as elaborate as Guangzhou’s, in terms of taste, it’s definitely good! ”

Tom Wright nodded repeatedly. He has also been to Lin Feng's hometown. As far as food is concerned, there are so many food stalls in such a small city, it is indeed a sight to behold.

"Hey, the beef offal here is pretty good, but the only pity is the wine. Hey, Tom, you don't know, ever since I drank the old Laojiao wine from Mr. Xi's hometown, I'm not interested in other white wines. I'm not interested anymore. The taste is too bland!" Lin Feng looked at the liquor in his hand with a look of regret.

Liquor! liquor! Lin Feng suddenly slammed the table.

"Tom, I have an idea. Build me a big wine cellar down there, and announce to the public that you want to build a large wine cellar that can store 1 million tons of wine every year!" Lin Feng said loudly. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
