"Hello, Lee."

"Hello, Mr. Zidler."

"The mission has been fulfilled. Fortunately, your request has been fulfilled. Here are the information on those companies and mineral deposits. I don't know if you are satisfied."

"Haha, thank you very much. Please wait a moment while I look at the information first."

"..."

Jiang Qingqing on the side was a little curious. She glanced at the thick stack of information and felt dizzy. Why were there so many messy charts and photos?

In fact, these data are the global distribution map of lithium mines. During the colonial period, Western countries had a large amount of mineral data. It should be admitted that in this regard, domestic data is very incomplete. It can only be obtained through Westerners like Ziedler.

middleman.

Seeing Li Yuan look at it roughly, Zidler took the initiative to introduce: "Li, some of them, the mines in those countries are not open to the outside world. And some of them are not for sale. Those enterprises are definitely impossible to transfer. Of course, you also

You can go to inquire and give it a try. The prices of the remaining ones have risen very quickly. In order to obtain the quantity you requested, we have to give a certain premium..."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. The reason why he acquired those lithium mines was to build his own entire industry chain.

In the past, lithium ore was not a scarce resource. In industry, it had only extremely limited uses and was basically thrown away.

Yes! Just discard it and don’t use it!

Because lithium mines are basically associated minerals. After a certain mine is excavated, only lithium and other slag is left. It seems to have no value.

As for new lithium resources? Those multinational mining companies are not even interested.

However, with the widespread emergence of electronic products, especially the emergence of lithium batteries, the consumption of lithium resources immediately increased dramatically, and it immediately became a very important mining resource.

Under such circumstances, those mining companies will definitely be reluctant to sell. Especially mining giants like Rio Tinto, which cannot even sell waste mines, just to increase their mineral reserves.

In fact, this is also true. Isn't it just like this lithium resource? Many waste mines are suddenly turned into treasures and continue to create a lot of value?

Therefore, Li Yuan could only harvest some "trivial things".

"Ziedler, what are the new exploration results?"

In the memory of his previous life, Li Yuan vaguely remembered that many lithium resources were successfully re-explored under the stimulation of demand. In other words, it was market-oriented.

Zidler smiled and said: "Li, also sent four exploration teams. Based on these information, the exploration rights were purchased from the local government..."

Contrary to the views of most domestic people, in fact, most countries have no exploration capabilities at all, let alone the ability to protect their own national resources. They simply sell their exploration rights, which is more or less a revenue. Of course, there are additional terms

.Such as joint development, etc.

And here, China's current overseas influence is very small after all, and it often cannot balance those local relationships. On the contrary, using those European and American exploration teams can reduce a lot of troubles.

"That's good. You can contact me directly for how much it costs."

"Here are the accounts, please take a look at them. We are..."

"..."

At present, Li Yuan already owns Qinglong Automobile and Nanfu Battery, and he is ready to control the upstream lithium resources, all in order to reduce costs.

There is really nothing we can do about this, because Li Yuan still has memories from his previous life.

For any domestic industry, European and American countries will always be full of malice. They will either continuously increase prices, such as iron ore, or simply ban it altogether. They are just such rogues.

Precisely because we suffer too many losses, we must control the entire industry. Otherwise, we will definitely face pitfalls of all sizes in the future.

Fortunately, the current lithium ore resources are not in short supply. It is still possible to purchase development rights through commercial means.

During this period, the annual sales volume of global mobile phones was approximately 400 million units. The industry believed that it had basically reached saturation. The entire supply chain also tended to be stable.

Now that it has stabilized, the supply and demand relationship for lithium ore resources has also become stable. Therefore, Li Yuan is left with the slightest chance.

Because no one expected that in the era of smartphones, global sales of smartphones alone would soar to around 1.2 billion units.

Not to mention, the battery pack of an electric car. What is the size of the battery panel of a mobile phone? What is the size of the battery pack of a car? There has been an exponential increase.

In this case, it’s all about cost!

As long as you can reduce costs! Then you can easily stay one step ahead!

Cost will definitely become king in the future!

…

"Yuanyuan, have you returned to the hotel again? Have you forgotten about me, an old servant?"

As soon as he returned home, he realized that his mother Zhang Zhen's tone was wrong. Li Yuan quickly smiled and said: "I'm not busy with work?"

"Without you, wouldn't the earth stop spinning?" Seeing Qiqi and Xiao Yuyu running around the house, Zhang Zhen laughed and scolded, "Be careful, don't fall."

"That's right. They are now at an age that even dogs would dislike." Li Yuan quickly changed the subject.

"Daddy, have you bought a gift? I don't want to waste my family's money, but you want to give your sister beautiful clothes?"

"Go!" The most troublesome one was the brat, "Put it in the box. Let your mother find it for you later."

"Daddy, tell Yuyu a story!"

"Uh...Mom, let's have a bowl of noodles! To cushion your belly. My dear daughter, let's talk about...a mermaid! A long, long time ago..."

In fact, Li Yuan doesn't remember the specific content of "The Mermaid". It's just the love and hatred between the mermaid and the prince! Anyway, the magic has changed the story and added many stories from "Xi Yang Yang" and "Xiong Da", which makes it interesting.

The two children listened with great interest...

Gu Yuqin glanced sideways: "Haha, you do have a lot of stuff in your belly. I don't know where I heard it from."

"It's not bad! Don't the babies like it very much?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "They just like your mouth. You are only good at deceiving children."

"Pull him down! I call it all for the young and the old."

"Hey." Gu Yuqin rolled her eyes, meaning you can understand it yourself.

Zhang Zhen quickly ordered noodles for Li Yuan. There were two fried eggs on top, and several large pieces of braised beef, spread out on a large layer.

"Daddy, I want to eat too."

"Fish want to eat meat."

The two children scrambled to get a bite.

"Hey, weren't you full just now?"

"I want to eat!", "Fish also want to eat!"

Okay! Li Yuan happily started feeding.

While Zhang Zhen was cleaning up, she asked with a smile: "Yuanyuan, how are things going in the United States? Is it going smoothly?"

"That's it! The time is not yet ripe."

Li Yuan did not explain much. The entire industrial chain is currently being built and has not yet yielded results.

"Then why are you so busy going? You might as well spend more time with your children at home. They are getting more and more naughty now, and they disappear in the blink of an eye. You can't watch them at all."

"There's no other way? You have to plan ahead, right?"

Gu Yuqin immediately sang the opposite: "Mom, don't listen to Yuanzi's nonsense. He has been planning and has not taken any action. It has been like this for the past few years, and it has no effect at all."

Zhang Zhen was amused: "It's hard to make a predestined relationship. Let him toss it! In the past few years, he was too smooth sailing. So now he should have stumbled. It doesn't matter if he suffers a little loss. It is a lesson learned.

Bar!"

Indeed.

In the past few years, because Li Yuan has not made any new moves, even the women in the family have become less and less confident. They thought that Li Yuan had been failing and was just a stubborn person.

Li Yuan was too lazy to explain. But he was also helpless with this idea.

"Mom, Qinqin, haven't my personal assets declined? You should know that my other properties have also become more and more numerous."

"Isn't that what you said? The wealth list is not important, what is important is the dream! What about your dream? New energy, electric cars, drones, etc., have all failed, right?" Gu Yuqin laughed.

“Just because you haven’t come up with a product yet doesn’t mean you’ve failed!”

"Hey, does it make a difference? Mom, look at your son, he's going to start a tirade again."

"Haha, forget it. Say whatever you want! Then you will know how far-reaching my vision is!"

"Haha? Are you anxious? In fact, we are all caring about you. There is no need to be so tired."

Zhang Zhen nodded: "Yuanyuan, what Qinqin said is right. We are just ordinary people, so don't mess with those weird things, right? You can't spend all your money in your lifetime, not even on a few children, so how about you?"

It’s better to stay at home safely.”

"Mom, you don't know this. I am really not a commoner now. Now that I am in this position, sometimes I can't help myself. Okay! I will pay attention to rest. But I can't put down my work. I'm waiting patiently.

, wait a few years. You will definitely see something different."

"hehe."

"..."

…

Li Yuan is also helpless. The limitations of objective conditions make it difficult for him to move forward. Whether it is new energy, electric vehicles, drones, or starship systems, they are currently in the initial stage, and the effects cannot be seen for a while.
