"Train information with Lockheed Martin?" Fan Heng was speechless about his son's amazing idea. "Do you think they are willing to sell the information to us?"

As the main supplier of the US side, Lockheed Martin can be said to have a deep holiday with the Chinese. Whether it is the killing weapons on the Korean battlefield, the U2 reconnaissance aircraft that helped Chiang Kai-shek develop mainland intelligence, or many subsequent armed activities targeting the US side, Lockheed Martin's armed forces are supported by the US military.

Judging from this hostile standpoint, it seems unimaginable to get information from Lockheed Martin.

Fan Wubing smiled slightly and said, "This matter should not be viewed from a political perspective. In business, even if the board of directors of Lockheed Martin does not agree, or the Pentagon in the United States does not agree, it is enough as long as someone agrees."

"Will anyone agree?" Fan Heng asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Fan Wubing naturally thought of Maximos, an old Jewish man who had joined Lockheed Martin's senior executive and became senior vice president. This old man has become the best candidate for the inside.

In fact, the international arms market is now fierce, and Lockheed Martin's life is not as good as before, so it instigates the Pentagon to continue to expand strategically around the world. The main purpose is to demonstrate its own combat weapons and to open up its own arms market. For example, find some African indigenous warlords, find some Arab oil king's kids, or create a tense atmosphere on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and give some weapons to Taiwan. This is all necessary.

Even if it is against a rival like the mainland that has both competition and cooperation, Lockheed Martin cannot completely close the door to cooperation. For some information that is not too sensitive, there is still a possibility of communication.

Fan Wubing naturally did not expect that the old man Maximos could be 007 and to make money-free information for himself, but the old man could serve as a bridge of contact and obtain some information resources that are valuable to him but are not unavailable to the old man. This is completely feasible.

Yeltsin has returned to Russia, but Putin stayed. At this moment, he has not yet become Russia's first deputy prime minister and acting prime minister, and is only the secretary of the National Security Council. However, in a practical sense, he is already a person who can make decisions, especially Yeltsin has trained him as his successor, and it is very clear to the Kremlin.

Two days later, Putin held formal talks with Fan Wubing and set up a major framework for cooperation between the two sides.

According to the unwritten agreement, Putin promised to open up channels for Fan Wubing to enter the Mongolian resource market, and Fan Wubing also promised to directly invest 50 billion US dollars in economic aid to Russia. The mortgage of this part of the economic aid can be used to exchange Russia's mineral resources and oil and gas resources. However, compared with Western countries, Fan Wubing slowed down the repayment period and said it was a completely interest-free loan.

When Putin left in the end, he took the 10 billion US dollars of funds that Fan Wubing had already received in advance. Obviously, this part of the funds is of great significance to Russia at present. Instead of asking for negotiations with Western countries to obtain billions of dollars in aid like toothpaste, it would be easier to exchange interests with Fan Wubing.

However, Putin did what he said. A week later, Mongolia sent an invitation to Fan Investment Group, expressing his hope that Fan Investment Group will enter Mongolia's resource market and carry out friendly development.

After receiving the notice from Mongolia, Fan Wubing began to call on relevant senior executives from the company to come to the capital to prepare for negotiations in Mongolia, and also notified technicians who had achieved some achievements in mineral resources exploration in Australia and Indonesia to prepare to go to Mongolia.

In this way, after Fan Wubing submitted a top-secret detailed proposal to his father about Fan's Investment Group's preparation for military industrial intelligence exchanges with Russia and Lockheed Martin, and on this condition, plus his own investment and joint venture with a state-owned military-industrial enterprise, he took a huge inspection team to Mongolia.

In the past decade, since the implementation of the ** reform and capitalist system, Mongolia, a major grassland country, has been fighting against poverty, corruption and unfair mineral distribution. As one of the world's most barren countries, more than one-third of the population lives below the poverty line, and ironically, Mongolia has abundant minerals.

With rich minerals that even foreigners come to hunt for gold, the people of their own country are struggling on the poverty line, with inflation rates as high as 30%. People keep complaining that officials cannot reach a consensus on the issue of mineral control. The situation in Mongolia can be said to be a mess.

Mongolia has a land area of ​​1.56 million square kilometers and a population of only more than 2 million. Almost all the scarce mineral species in the world can be found in Mongolia, which is vast and sparsely populated. Most of the mineral deposits are still in an undeveloped state and have a promising prospect. For many years, how to control foreign-invested enterprises into the field of mineral exploration and development has been the most sensitive topic in Mongolia's political arena.

Mongolia is rich in copper, gold, silver, iron ore, phosphorus and zinc resources. They are all buried under the vast grasslands. Moreover, Mongolia is also the largest known coal mine owner, with uranium resources ranked third in the world, and silver mines are also among the best in the world. According to Fan Wubing's resource management team, Mongolia has about 3,000 tons of gold mines, more than 30 million tons of copper mines, and about 50 billion tons of high-quality coal mines waiting to be mined.

According to statistics released by the Mongolian National Statistical Commission last month, the average income of Mongolian households increased by 40% compared with the same period last year. In the past year, the wage standards of Mongolian public institutions have increased by 70%, but consumption expenditure has also increased significantly. According to statistics from the International Monetary Fund, in the first four months of this year, Mongolia's inflation rate reached 127%. People complained that prices kept rising and household purchasing power was falling.

Since Mongolia is an inland country, due to its high latitude and short summer, Mongolia's main agricultural products rely on imports, the annual output of Mongolia's mining industry accounts for more than 30% of the national GDP. To this day, many mineral resources in Mongolia are brewing and beginning to open to foreign investors.

With industrialization and urbanization in full swing, countries around the world are attacking everywhere to find mineral resources. Due to the large scale of potential investment and the high expected future returns, some people even call Mongolia New Kingsoft in Asia.

Currently, the top countries in Mongolia's mining investment field are mainly Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea.

British Rio Tinto is also preparing to enter the Mongolian mineral resources market. As the world's second largest mining giant, they have many advantages, but Mongolia's situation is special and under Russia's wings, it is not so easy to do this.

In order to improve the investment environment and attract more foreign investors to enter Mongolia's resource market, for example, Mongolia announced the Mineral Resources Law the year before yesterday and introduced relevant preferential policies to attract foreign investment. Last year, Canada's Centerragold Mining Company invested 75 million US dollars to obtain the overall mining rights of the Mongolian Boroo gold mine and also obtained tax exemptions for the first five years.

What Fan Wubing saw was the largest mining area in Mongolia that has not yet been explored. The Taolege mining area was also the largest mine to find reserves in Mongolia later. It is located in the southern Gobi Province of Mongolia, 650 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar and only 80 kilometers away from the Sino-Mongolia border. The copper content of the mine reached 26.6 million tons, and the gold content reached 25.7 million ounces, with a commercial value of about 170 billion US dollars.

Mongolia has resumed oil exploration and exploitation since the early 1990s. It has found that the proven reserves can reach about 8 billion barrels. There are thirteen oil basins in the areas bordering China alone, with reserves of more than 3 billion barrels, and the quality of oil is good. Its API self-flow index is 41, while China's Daqing Oilfield's API self-flow index is only 34.

The Mongolian Mining Law, revised in June 1997, stipulates that foreign investors enjoy the same treatment as Mongolian enterprises in applying for mineral development licenses. The exploration period is three years, which can be extended for two years, the development period is sixty years, and it can be extended for 40 years. Each license can develop an area of ​​4,000 square kilometers, and the number of licenses that each enterprise and individual can apply for is not limited.

Fan Wubing has long been salivating about Mongolia's mineral resources. Whether it is copper, gold, coal, or oil, they are indispensable strategic resources in the future. At this time, the political situation in Mongolia is in chaos and the active intervention of foreign capital is not strong. This is a good opportunity for his strong intervention. After Mongolia's mineral resources are gradually developed and invented, it will be difficult to control the best mining areas, at least not as easy as it is now.

Although Mongolia has actively introduced foreign investment, up to now, it has only introduced more than 100 million US dollars in investment, which is basically introduced from the perspective of venture capital. After all, most foreign investors do not have any confidence in this closed landlocked country. If they want to cooperate with Mongolia, the first thing they need to solve is two problems, either reaching an understanding with Russia or using China's transportation lines, there is no other way out.

It is not easy to solve this problem, but for Fan Wubing, there is no such concern.
