Soon, the support team of Fan's Investment Group was in place. Legal experts invited from Europe and the United States were also in place. As for bodyguards, they even came to more than 100 units, which occupied a chartered flight.

With so many people, Fan Wubing felt at ease.

This time, I became alert and looked at the contract carefully. Everyone also found a problem, that is, they tampered with the text they had already negotiated and secretly changed it back in the later negotiations, which forced everyone to carefully check the new version of each document, and a contract only cost dozens of pages, and the workload suddenly increased. Fortunately, these lawyer teams have very strong professional quality and the documents are all in English. Faced with difficult legal professional expressions, although ordinary people don’t know the difference, it is different in the eyes of these experts. Even a change in tense or preposition will cause ambiguity that ordinary people don’t know.

Moreover, in the later investigation, Fan Wubing also discovered a problem. Although most of the people participating in the negotiations were black, the bosses behind the scenes were all white people. This discovery surprised him very much.

"I still think it's a black ghost who is tampering with it. I didn't expect that the white people behind the scenes were still white people. No wonder they act so carefully and experienced, and there are legal traps everywhere--" Fan Wubing felt a little emotional for a moment, thinking that he probably wronged those black people.

However, when Fan Wubing thought of running around in front of the stage to deceive the black people who were working hard to deceive him, he naturally had no good impression in his heart. He thought that for these countries, a thorough and complete purge could solve the problem.

In fact, the revolution in African countries has always been incomplete. If the interests of local white people were affected, the old colonists behind the scenes had probably started to make excuses to interfere. Therefore, there is no new idea in Africa when fighting wars, that is, blacks fight blacks.

With the support of the expert team, things went smoothly. Seeing that the other party became much more honest, at the last moment of signing the contract, the experts discovered another big problem in the contract, and the other party tampered with the lawsuit.

The place of lawsuit agreed by everyone was in Singapore, which was a place where the two parties compromised their distance and was a Chinese society. It should be said that it was relatively reasonable. Moreover, Singapore's legal system is fair and trustworthy, but the other party hid a condition in a certain clause of the contract, that is, if there is fraud in the cooperation, the decision must be made through the opinions of the local court.

In this way, the other party will never suffer any loss. Being cheated can only be these Chinese people who come from afar. This means that once a dispute arises, investors can only sue the local tyrants locally!

If such fraud occurs, it is likely to be a letter of credit fraud. This is a very serious crime in China. Although it is also a victim, the domestic strength in the banking industry will definitely regard you as a fraudster. In this case, a large case with an amount of over one billion US dollars will be sentenced to life imprisonment according to the domestic criminal law. Therefore, in this case, domestic investors not only have to suppress all their property, but also have lifelong freedom, which no one can afford to gamble. The most important thing in doing business is to have safety limits. Even if they lose money, they cannot be without the capital to turn over.

So as soon as the problem of the lawsuit occurred, both parties immediately turned against each other.

As investors, especially foreign investors, Fan Wubing and others definitely do not understand local laws and cannot trust local laws. Therefore, as long as their heads are not burned, they will never give in on this issue.

At the same time, the other party's rebellion and insistence on not giving in, Fan Wubing felt that there was something wrong with it. But everyone couldn't understand it at all, that is, the bosses behind them were also people with some identities, and they would also pursue letter of credit fraud internationally. They are already very rich people, how could they die for this money? This is unreasonable.

So both sides became dead here and no one was willing to give in.

At this time, something happened. The other party insisted that the people of Fan's Investment Group return the ore samples they had given them back. Originally, this sample should have nothing to do, and they were all placed in the hotel room and not around them at that time, but why were they so anxious? This made Fan Wubing deeply suspicious.

So he ordered someone to take the samples and ask the new mineral experts to analyze them, study whether there were any fakes in it, and whether it was suspected of cheating him?

But when the mineral experts carefully looked at the samples and then looked at the ingredients list provided by the other party, they finally understood the truth.

"Mr. Fan, we were cheated!" said the mineral expert to Fan Wubing without hesitation.

"What's going on?" Fan Wubing was a little surprised, but since the mineral experts said that, it means that the other party is really doing bad things. Could it be that the iron content of iron ore is not as high as they said?

"The iron content is very high. This is true. What we want to say is that we were deceived in the entire cooperation." Seeing that everyone didn't understand, the mineral expert explained to everyone with the sample, "About 60% of iron and about 10% of titanium. In terms of iron content, this is a very good iron-rich ore in China. The average level of iron ore in China has an iron content of 30%. Of course, if the iron content reaches more than 64%, you can directly make steel. Except for iron and titanium, the sulfur, phosphorus and other impurities in it are several thousandths, so what else is there?"

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, the mineral expert said excitedly, "The rest is oxygen. All the iron and titanium in the ore exist in iron oxide and titanium oxide. In fact, the iron content in 100% of the iron oxide ore is 70%. Just calculate it with the chemistry knowledge in middle school, you can know that this sample is basically a mixture of iron oxide and titanium oxide, and there are basically no other ingredients. It is a very good titanium iron ore, so this sample is not a simple iron ore, so they will certainly take it back. Otherwise, we will analyze it for our technicians to understand it after they analyze it."

"Then what's wrong?" Lu Qingtong didn't know the key here.

"What's wrong?" said the mineral expert, shook his head, "If you knew the current application range of titanium, you wouldn't have asked such a question!"

It took more than a hundred years to discover titanium elements to make pure products. It took titanium to be truly utilized and recognized its true nature after the 1940s.

Among the ten-kilometer-thick strata on the surface of the earth, the content of titanium is as high as 61000, which is 61 times more than copper. It ranks tenth in the earth's crust. Just grab a handful of soil from the ground, which contains several thousandths of titanium. It is not rare to have titanium ore reserves of more than 10 million tons in the world.

There are billions of tons of sand and gravel on the beach. Two minerals that are heavier than sand and gravel are mixed in sand and gravel. After seawater has been washed day and night for millions of years, the heavier ilmenite and zircon sand ore are washed together. On the long coast, a titanium ore layer is formed. This ore layer is a kind of black sand, usually a few centimeters to tens of centimeters thick.

Titanium is not magnetic, and nuclear submarines built with titanium do not have to worry about the attack of magnetic mines.

In 1947, people began to smel titanium in factories. The output was only two tons that year. By 1955, the output soared to 200,000 tons, and in 1972, the output reached 200,000 tons.

Titanium has a similar hardness as steel, and its weight is almost half that of steel of the same volume. Although it is slightly heavier than aluminum, its hardness is twice as big as aluminum.

"Now, in rockets and missiles, titanium is used in large quantities instead of steel. According to statistics, the world's annual titanium used for space navigation has reached more than 1,000 tons. Extremely fine titanium powder is also a good fuel for rockets, so titanium is known as a cosmic metal and space metal. Titanium has good heat resistance and a melting point of up to 1,725 ​​degrees. At room temperature, titanium can lie safely in various solutions of strong acids and alkalis, and even the most ferocious aquarium cannot corrode it. Titanium is not afraid of seawater, but some people

I once sank a piece of titanium to the bottom of the sea. Five years later, I took it up and saw that there were many small animals and seabed plants sticking on it, but it was not rusted at all, and it was still shiny." The expert told everyone about the role of titanium metal, and then said, "Now I have started to use titanium to make submarines. Because titanium is very strong and can withstand very high pressure, this submarine can navigate in the deep sea 4,500 meters deep. You said, what is the point of discovering such a high-quality titanium iron mixed ore now?"

After saying this, everyone immediately understood.

The processing plant that the other party wants to build is actually to separate the titanium oxide in the ore, and the rest is iron. What they built is not an iron ore processing plant, but a titanium separation plant. In this way, the investment they need is more than 100 times the investment of domestic iron ore processing plants is easy to understand.

The international price of titanium is more than ten dollars per kilogram. If the freight fee is excluded, the value here is only ten dollars per ton, with a value of thousands of times. Even if calculated based on the content of ten tons of raw ore, the value is more than one hundred times.

Now they have occupied all the separated titanium and told Fan's Investment Group that it was treated as garbage, and they also have to share Fan's Investment Group's profits in iron ore. That is to say, Fan's Investment Group invested all the funds and bear all the operating ore dressing costs and risks. In terms of profits, they got more than 99%, while Fan's Investment Group received less than one percent!
