Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The Patricio family has fallen under Lin Kaifeng's financial offensive.

Through Patricio's connections, the Northern Machinery Group established connections with the upper echelons of the Tianya Kingdom.

Tianya Country is one of the South American countries most influenced by the United States.

Lin Kaifeng is thriving in the United States.

As long as Longguo and Northern Machinery Group do not fall out with the United States, the US government will not take action against Lin Kaifeng's industry.

Lin Kaifeng can get this big tiger out of the United States through exchanging interests and other means.

By using the method of waving the flag and using the tiger's skin to pull the tiger's skin, they ensured that the Escondida copper mine would always be in the hands of Long Guo and Lin Kaifeng.

the next day.

Lin Kaifeng led several followers to the capital.

He took a plane with Liu Yong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, to Tianhe Mining Company in the south.

With the restructuring of major domestic state-owned enterprises in the late 1970s, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry reorganized and merged a large number of its mining companies.

Tianhe Mining Company is the one with the strongest overall scale and strength among many restructured companies.

And it has two unique skills that other mining companies do not have.

Before the merger, Tianhe Mining Company was already one of the leading copper mining and processing companies in the country.

After several years of redevelopment.

The technical level of Tianhe Mining Company has been further improved.

At the same time, the company introduced a large number of advanced equipment from abroad and recruited a large number of technical experts.

In terms of technology and equipment strength, it ranks first among mining companies nationwide.

"Comrade Kaifeng, this move of yours is really not easy."

After arriving in the city where Tianhe Mining Company was located, Liu Yong and Lin Kaifeng rode in the same car.

On the way, Liu Yong praised Lin Kaifeng for his skills and courage.

Unlike the situation in Africa, Dragon Country has little influence in South America.

Even though diplomatic relations have been established with several South American countries, the problem of weak influence cannot be changed.

Let’s look at the island countries.

Attention has been paid to the resources of the South American region since the 19th century.

Step by step, they are increasing their influence in South America.

Today, the island nation has become the overseas country with the greatest influence on South America after the United States.

Northern Machinery Group played a trick on the three major mining companies and successfully obtained the mining rights of the Escondida copper mine.

I have to say, this is definitely an unprecedented victory.

But behind the victory, there are many hidden dangers.

The island nation will certainly not give up, and the mining companies within the country will definitely not admit defeat.

The island country that is jealous of the Escondida copper mine will definitely interfere.

Lin Kaifeng smiled calmly and said, "I have thought about this issue a long time ago. The most important thing now is to get the mine first. If we hesitate and look ahead and behind, we will face more problems."

"We'll consider subsequent issues after we get the mine."

Liu Yong nodded and said, "That's true, but the island companies are not easy to deal with after all. What do you think they will do next?"

Lin Kaifeng said disdainfully: "It's nothing more than the same old trick, protesting openly and making trouble behind the scenes, interfering with our normal copper mining through both overt and covert means, and bribing a group of Tianya country's upper echelons."

Liu Yong said: "Now that you have considered it, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Lin Kaifeng said calmly, "Of course, we will fight back when the enemy comes, and we will block the water with earth. Deputy Minister Liu, I will be responsible for the follow-up issues. Our top priority is to send people over as soon as possible."

"Once you have a firm foothold, it won't be too late to talk about other issues later."

Seeing that Lin Kaifeng was not worried at all, Liu Yong shook his head and smiled.

I am really old. I am hesitant and have no courage at all when doing things.

What Lin Kaifeng said is right. Should we give up the ownership of this mine just because there will be various problems when purchasing the mine?

No, absolutely impossible!

The rich copper ore in the mine can meet the resource needs of Longguo's industrial development.

Not to mention a few island mining companies.

Even if all the major mining companies in the world come together to obstruct it, Longguo will never give up this resource.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at Tianhe Mining Company.

General Manager Dong Ping'an and Deputy General Manager Han Qianjin led a group of leaders to guard the company's gate.

A banner was hung to welcome Liu Yong and others.

Lin Kaifeng had this meeting mainly for three things.

First, sign a cooperation agreement with a mining company to jointly develop the mining area.

Try to send elite troops to Neihu State in the shortest possible time.

Tianhe Mining Company must also cooperate with Northern Machinery Group to establish relevant supporting facilities in Neihu State as soon as possible.

Mined and refined on site.

The processed high-quality ore is continuously shipped back to the country.

The required equipment will be provided by Northern Machinery Group.

Second, Lin Kaifeng needs Tianhe Mining Company to send a group of technicians to join the Northern Machinery Group's shield machine research.

On this topic, Lin Kaifeng took the initiative to talk about the importance of tunnel boring machines to mine development.

At present, the use of tunnel boring machines in mineral development has not received enough attention.

Even in Western countries, tunnel boring machines are only used as construction equipment for building roads, railways, subways, etc.

It was not until a few years later that major Western tunnel boring machine companies began to focus on mining development.

Produced a series of new shield machines for mining.

The meeting was over and it was already evening.

Lin Kaifeng, Liu Yong and others returned to the hotel to rest.

"Dangdangdang..."

After washing up, Lin Kaifeng was preparing to go to bed early when someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Kaifeng said, "Wait a moment."

Put on your clothes and go over to open the door.

"Deputy Minister Liu? It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

I glanced at the clock in the house and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Liu Yong smiled and said apologetically: "Comrade Kaifeng, I have something I want to talk to you about. I hope I won't disturb your rest?"

"Don't disturb me, Vice Minister Liu, please come in."

As he spoke, Lin Kaifeng invited Liu Yong into the room.

After they sat down, Liu Yong said, "During the day, you mentioned the role of shield machines in mine development. I thought about it carefully. We will develop a large number of overseas mineral resources in the future, so it is indeed necessary to develop shield machines for mining."

"We have very little experience in this area, and our understanding of shield machines is not comprehensive enough. Why don't we try to buy a batch of large shield machines from the West or island countries, and invest in production and construction while conducting research?"

"Wouldn't it be possible to achieve twice the result with half the effort?"

In the afternoon meeting, Lin Kaifeng talked at length about the important help that mining tunnel boring machines will provide to Longguo’s future.

On the way back to the hotel, Liu Yong thought more and more that it made sense.

In the late 1950s, Longguo established a tunnel boring machine project team.

Research domestic dynamic machinery.

Affected by unfavorable events such as the Soviet Union tearing up the agreement and withdrawing experts.

The project ultimately came to nothing.

It was not until the last two years that the relevant departments began to pay attention to tunnel boring machines again.

Several second-hand tunnel boring machines were imported from abroad to build railways and subways.
