Chapter seven hundred and tenth basic public bribery

Fan Wubing stayed in the yurt for one night, and then led a large group of people to Ulaanbaatar the next day to meet with Mongolian government officials and Russian officials who came to be intermediaries.

Members of the Presidium of Great Hural in Mongolia and the head of the Minerals Department took action personally. In order to facilitate business, Russia specially sent several officials from the Prime Minister's Office to come over, which also indicated that Russia supported Fan Wubing's entry into Mongolia's mineral resource development market.

In fact, what Fan Wubing needs is just an attitude problem, because Mongolia has an exclusion from Chinese investors. Although its company is registered overseas, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make things difficult for them because most of their companies are Chinese, which will affect their work efficiency.

Now that Russia has put pressure on it, and it can also affect China's resource exports to Mongolia, I believe they will become much more honest. Besides, don't you still have a lot of money to pass the level?

Russians basically do not participate in the negotiations between Fan Wubing and the Mongols. They are just recommenders, but the negotiations between Fan Wubing and the Mongols are real.

In order to accelerate the development and utilization of mineral resources and strengthen management and coordination, the current Mongolian government has established a Geological Mineral Resources Policy Coordination Bureau in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which is mainly responsible for the formulation, supervision and implementation of mineral resource development and utilization policies and regulations, as well as related coordination work. At the same time, the Ministry also has a government executive agency, Mineral Management Bureau, which is responsible for the specific organization and implementation of mineral resources exploration, development and utilization of Mongolia. The exploration and development licenses for mineral resource projects are issued by the bureau.

In order to attract domestic and foreign funds to develop and utilize mineral resources as soon as possible, in 1997, the Mongolian State Dahular passed the first Mineral Resources Law, which revised and improved. According to the law, Mongolian citizens, foreign citizens and legal persons have the right to obtain exploration licenses and have the right to transfer the licenses in whole or in part and mortgage them to others.

The validity period of the exploration permit is three years and can be extended twice, each time for two years. The area of ​​exploration site approved by a permit is not less than twenty-five hectares and not more than four hundred thousand hectares.

Legal persons established and carried out business in accordance with Mongolia's laws and regulations have the right to obtain a development license and have the right to transfer the license in whole or in part and mortgage it to others. The development license is valid for sixty years and can be extended forty years at a time.

A license can only be sold to one legal person. When multiple legal persons of the same license submit an application, it will be sold to the first legal person in the order of time when the application is submitted. When the license holder transfers the license to others, he must go to the Mineral Administration to complete the formal transfer procedures.

The exploration permit is charged per hectare of the exploration site, with a charge of five cents for the first year, a ten cent for the second and third years, and a fourth and fifth years of the permit is one dollar for the fourth and fifth years, and a sixth and seventh years of the applicant pays the first year of the exploration permit, and the geological and mine registration authority issues a three-year exploration permit within three working days.

Holding a development license is based on the charging standard per hectare of the mining area to which the development belongs. In the first three years, it will be five US dollars per year, the fourth and fifth years, and seven.5 US dollars per year, starting from the sixth year, it will be ten US dollars per year.

In addition, the ancient government also has regulations on environmental protection for mineral resource developers. Developers must submit environmental impact assessments and environmental protection plans to the central state organs in charge of environmental issues and the chief executives of relevant provinces and counties. Exploration and development activities are prohibited from being initiated before the written approval of the relevant environmental protection departments, and the mining mining areas must be restored to their original landforms.

In order to ensure that the license holder fully fulfills his obligations in environmental protection, it is required that funds equivalent to 50% of the annual budget required to implement environmental protection measures be used as a deposit, which must be transferred to a special account before the project is implemented.

Fan Wubing's subordinates Wubing had a professional who had a deep research on mineral resource development in various countries and immediately had a tit-for-tat discussion on these conditions in Mongolia. The two sides could be said to be verbal and disagree, and often argued over a problem.

As for the various tax and fee collection standards proposed by Mongolia, such as income tax, mineral resource development fees, land use fees, water resource usage fees, and early exploration fees that the state invested, Fan Wubing's experts also had great opinions and said that they were big customers and such harsh conditions were too unacceptable. After all, compared with internationally accepted standards, Mongolia's standards were simply blocking their own investment channels.

"We also have some preferential policies." Officials from the Ministry of Minerals rarely contact such a professional team. The last time they dealt with Canadians, the Russians came forward to help the negotiations, and they didn't put in much effort.

But this time the Russians stood by and were obviously in the middle-aged position and were not suitable for speaking, which made officials of the Mongolian Ministry of Resources feel a little bit waxed. After all, these things are really too troublesome.

There are indeed many so-called preferential policies in Mongolia, such as mineral resource exploration, machinery and equipment required for development are exempt from import tariffs, and product exports are exempt from value-added tax and export tariffs. For enterprises that develop mineral resources, projects whose investment amount reaches more than US$2 million in the first five years, in order to ensure that taxes and other aspects during the development and operation are not affected by policy changes, they can require a stable operation contract with the Minister of Finance, and exempt from income tax within three to five years after signing.

With the approval of the Mongolian government, the job fees charged to foreign technical and managers can also be exempted. According to the "Export, Import Labor and Expert Law" currently implemented in Mongolia, enterprises hiring foreign technical or managers must pay each foreign technical person twice the job fees of Mongolia's statutory minimum wage to the Mongolian labor department, which is about 400 yuan per person, and this money can be saved.

However, these are ordinary minerals. Mongolia still pays close attention to gold mines, with high taxes and fees, and is unwilling to lower prices.

"Our investment amount is very large-" Fan Wubing felt a little impatient before he could discuss it all day.

Others don’t know how much benefit they are trying to pursue, but they themselves know it. It is still very beneficial to argue so much about what is happening in front of them.

So Fan Wubing told officials of the Ministry of Minerals, "Our initial investment is about one billion US dollars, and if the policy is preferential, it can be added."

When officials from the Ministry of Minerals heard this topic, their eyes turned green. In the past few years, the total investment of foreigners in Mongolia was less than 100 million US dollars, and Fan's Investment Group had to invest 1 billion US dollars in advance!

What does this mean?! Mongolia has a total population of only two million, with a total of one billion US dollars, which is equivalent to an average of five hundred US dollars per person! The income of all Mongolians does not have that much in a year!

How big acres of land should be enclosed for such a large investment? The officials of the Ministry of Minerals immediately became active, and they were secretly calculating how much extra profit they could have in this business?

In the evening, Fan Wubing said he would invite a banquet for officials from the Ministry of Minerals and Russian friends, at the embassy.

When it was time for dinner, there were about twenty Mongolian officials coming, including the main officials of the Ministry of Minerals, as well as several important members of the Dahular Presidium.

The ambassador met Fan Wubing in advance and introduced him to some of the current situation in Mongolia and the main government officials. He said that the Mongolian government today is extremely powerful, even more powerful than Russia in the most chaotic times. Investors rarely get the land and license they want without bribing them.

Fan Wubing replied with a smile, "I'm not afraid of them collecting money, but I'm afraid that they won't collect money and use people's money to eliminate disasters. As long as I collect my money, I have to do my best to do my business."

Mongolia's mineral resource development policy is actually not too harsh, because the international mineral resource market has not yet risen, and the development foundation here is not good, so the market is very low, but no one has to worry about making more money, right? The best way to reduce the price is to be calculated.

There was nothing special about eating, but the super red envelope that Fan Wubing handed over after the meal made the group of officials feel what it means to be rich and powerful. More than 20 people received a commercial bribe of 20 million US dollars sent by Fan Wubing.

This is a very straightforward bribe, all in cash.

Fan Wubing said to everyone, "What I want is the speed and the best policy. As long as you can get it out, these are yours. In the future, no one will look for any account to follow the contract."

Everyone's eyes were full of US dollars. On average, a person's bribe of one million US dollars was just to sell some national interests. Such a simple thing was simply a slaughter!

Moreover, Fan Wubing made it very clear that not looking for a backlog, it means a one-time deal. After getting this matter done, even if he resigns and goes abroad, he has great potential. As long as he has money, he still has to worry about his life in other places being worse than Mongolia?

Damn! Apart from the fact that beef and mutton are a little tasty, what's the best in Mongolia?
