Nigeria has rich mineral resources, the main minerals include oil, natural gas, tin, lead, copper, gold, silver, chromium, etc. Among them, the ones that Fan Wubing cares about the most are oil, natural gas, gold, copper, etc.

Indonesia's gold mine reserves are more than 3,000 tons, ranking among the world's top, mostly shallow hydrothermal gold deposits related to Tertiary volcanic rocks. Gold mines are distributed on almost all islands. Grasberg copper-gold in Papua Province is the largest gold mine in Indonesia, and it is the mine with the largest gold reserves among the mines announced in the world.

Copper, etc. are also some of the most important projects in future strategic metal mineral resources, and are no less attractive to Fan Wubian than oil and natural gas.

This time Fan Wubing has a rare opportunity to have such a good opportunity to quarrel at the Habibi government. Of course, he has to blackmail them well. After all, it is impossible to lend them $50 billion in financial aid funds without getting some good things back.

In fact, in Indonesia, in addition to Chinese businessmen, there is also a very powerful force, which is Japanese businessmen. This time, due to the riots, many Japanese businessmen retreated, leaving Fan Wubing a gap. Naturally, they accepted the blank projects left after they left, and infiltrated all their power into Indonesia.

Originally, Japanese chaebols like Mitsui had a lot of long-term investment projects in Southeast Asia, especially in key projects such as mineral resources. They had greater ambitions and occupied more. However, due to the impact of this financial crisis, Japan's domestic economy also suffered a heavy blow, so Japanese chaebols' steps in plundering overseas mineral resources slowly stopped.

The investments of Japanese consortium companies are long-term and forward-looking. Once the economy fluctuates greatly, short-term returns will be lost. Despite this, Japanese consortiums are still watching global business opportunities and making careful preparations for long-term goals.

Fan Wubing noticed that several Japanese comprehensive trading companies such as Mitsui Products took advantage of the low prices of mineral resources during the global economic downturn and quietly acquired upstream resources such as overseas oil, natural gas, coal, metal minerals, etc., hoping to achieve the goal of controlling business opportunities and the lifeline of domestic and foreign manufacturing production.

At the same time, several Chinese foreign trade companies such as Sinochem, COFCO, and Wugang, which had the ability to expand overseas, lost financial support and had no financial capital support. They were required to conduct corporate governance according to the Western company model, turning to physical operations and lost the opportunity to expand territory, which also caused an embarrassing situation in which China's raw material imports were subject to others in the future.

In China, mineral resources and finance are definitely two separate areas. Japanese comprehensive trading companies closely link mineral resources and finance.

In fact, Mitsui Products is not simply a trade business. In essence, it is a financial company. Comprehensive trading companies have always been known as the second bank. Mitsui Products' top ten shareholders are world-class large financial institutions. These include Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, Central Mitsui Trust, Mitsui Life Insurance, etc.

When Chinese people rushed to buy golden land to combat inflation, Mitsui Products had long purchased oil, natural gas, coal, iron, copper, aluminum, etc. as real money and silver.

However, this time, due to the turmoil in Indonesia, the Japanese consortium was greatly affected. Given that the situation in Indonesia may continue to deteriorate, it is inferred that the Japanese consortium decisively withdrew from Indonesia. This has created a good opportunity for Fan Wubing to intervene. Not only can support the Habibi government to obtain support for political resources in Indonesia, but it can also accept various mineral resource enterprises left by the Japanese consortium and become a new foreign monopoly capital in Indonesia.

In fact, the Habibi family is quite powerful in Indonesia. Otherwise, Suharto would not have liked him and adopted him as his adopted son and trained him as his successor. But he did not expect that Habibi has turned around and opposed him now.

Habibi is a little uncomfortable now facing Fan Wubing. After all, he borrowed a lot of money from Fan Wubing to develop and restore the domestic economy in Indonesia. It is impossible to do without Chinese participatory locals in Indonesia, all locals are lazy and landlords. They are the kind of people who come to find jobs unless they have no food at home. Therefore, it is impossible to rely on Chinese people to carry out economic construction.

The idol in Chinese people's minds is Fan Wubing. As long as the Fan Investment Group is greeted, the economy in mainland Indonesia will naturally develop. Habibi is very clear about this. Therefore, when Fan Wubing put forward local requirements for some mineral resources, Habibi had no objection.

Fan Wubing is not a person asking for prices. He did not make any more demands for the more sensitive oil and natural gas, but only occupied a small part of the market. He just wanted to make a little sense. The focus was on metal resources such as copper and chromium, especially copper ore, and the largest gold mine in Indonesia. Fan Wubing did not hesitate to account for a large proportion and used it.

In fact, Fan Wubing is very dissatisfied with the Indonesians' waste of resources. The pagodas are all gilded. If they are pulled down and cast into gold bars, I believe there will always be dozens of tons.

Fan Wubing has been staying in Fan Heng's office recently, constantly directing his subordinates through telephone and network to centralize the development of Indonesia's mineral resources, so that Fan Heng always has to go over and see what his son is busy with after work.

"What are you doing? Have you made so much information?" Fan Heng couldn't help but ask, pulling Fan Wubing.

"Now our group has established the ** Intelligence Research Institute to analyze and study the international economic situation and the behavior of major companies. This is an analysis report for Japanese consortiums." Fan Wubing was busy studying and replied after hearing this.

What he is now mainly engaged in is the development of Mitsui Products in recent years.

Japan has poor resources and almost all of them are imported. As a representative comprehensive trading company in Japan, Mitsui Products is an excellent executor of Japan's resource strategy. In order to ensure that resources and energy arrive safely on time, Mitsui Products began to invest a large amount of capital, technology, and equipment in the Middle East, Indonesia, Australia, Latin America, China and other places shortly after the war. Large-scale exploitation of resources and energy not only ensures domestic supply, but also spares efforts to export and earn foreign exchange. Therefore, in promoting the national policy of establishing a country with trade, ensuring energy, and resource supply, Mitsui Products has made great contributions to Japan's development strategy.

During the period of economic development in Japan, in order to provide a stable source of raw materials for the heavy chemical industry, Mitsui Products highly improved the raw material supply channels, participated in copper mine development in Mexico, Chile, Canada, Australia and other countries, and conducted resource exploration, recommended high-quality mineral sources to mining companies, and jointly developed. Before the oil crisis in the 1970s, the supplier was diversified through the supply of various energy sources such as coal, liquefied natural gas and pipeline natural gas, and also invested in energy development.

Buying a mine alone, after signing a long-term contract, financing for the mine, and finally directly participating in the development of mineral resources, Mitsui Products has the mining rights to natural gas and crude oil exploitable reserves reached a very amazing scale.

"I am cunning and cunning. Although my character is not good, I am indeed much better than the country in some strategic issues." Fan Wubing showed some information to his father Fan Heng, and then said, "The country has never been aware of these problems, nor has it considered that after ten years, the country's demand for mineral resources will reach a very serious level after the country's rapid economic development."

"Is it that serious?" Fan Heng looked at Fan Wubing sorted out the information and asked with a frown.

"It's stricter than this." Fan Wubing pointed out without hesitation. "Some of our domestic economic textbooks are mainly learning the development model of the United States, but there is a problem here. The national conditions of the United States are different from those of China. Americans themselves have a small population and many resources, while China is the opposite. In addition, if Americans look at some resources, they will try to plunder them. If they really don't work, they will directly attack and plunder them. Can China do this? This is the problem."

"You mean, is the current economic policy orientation wrong?" Fan Heng asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I was very wrong." Fan Wubing replied, "China's situation is much the same as Japan. Although the total amount of resources is OK, the per capita is less. Therefore, Japan's policies on mineral resources are very necessary for us to learn."

"It seems that you have never heard of these with the senior management?" Fan Heng asked with some texture.

Fan Wubing gave his father a blank look and said, "You think I am stupid? Since the entire senior management and domestic economists do not realize this, why should I stand up and be the wood that will be destroyed by the wind? I still understand the saying that the big tree attracts wind. Besides, I have a lot of spare money now, so I naturally want to develop as much overseas mineral resources as possible. By the time everyone realizes this problem, I have become the overlord of resources."

Fan Heng scratched his head, looked at Fan Wubing's pile of information with some depression, and then said, "When it comes to hard work, you are much better than domestic economic experts, so making money is just right. If you don't pay, how can you get rewards? Forget it, I don't care about these things, now let's get my business done first."
