Li Fanyu felt depressed for a while after being kicked out of the office by An Ning.

“Can’t we just have a good chat? Women, it’s so unreasonable!”

He kicked the trash can at the door vigorously, with an angry look, which attracted side glances from the employees passing by. Under the gazes of the surrounding employees with the fire of gossip in their eyes, he coughed lightly and pretended to be nonchalant. Returned to his office.

As soon as he opened the door, Chen Yuhan walked in with a lot of documents in his arms.

"Director Li, are you having a disagreement with Mr. An?"

Chen Yuhan asked as she brought her chubby face closer, stroking the glasses that made her round face look even rounder.

Li Fanyu's face darkened, "Are you doing nothing every day?"

"Ahem!" Seeing his unkind look, Chen Yuhan immediately said seriously: "Director Li, I just received a phone invitation from the Ocean Exploration Bureau. They want to make an appointment with you. How do you reply to this?"

"Ocean Exploration Agency?"

Li Fanyu rubbed his chin, "What are they looking for me for? We haven't had any contact with each other before."

He thought for a while and felt something in his heart. Could it be...

"Tell them that I will be free tomorrow afternoon." After thinking about it, Li Fanyu and Chen Yuhan said.

"Okay, that's how I'll reply to the other party."

"Go ahead. Tell the people outside to focus on your work and don't be so gossipy all the time." Li Fanyu warned him coldly before waving his hand.

Chen Yuhan stuck out her tongue, bowed slightly to Li Fanyu, and walked out.

The next day, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, several men carrying briefcases came to Zhengxin Group. After making an appointment at the front desk, the receptionist led us to the reception room of the headquarters building.

When Li Fanyu arrived at the reception room, several people immediately stood up and came forward to shake hands and say hello.

The leader was about forty years old, with a Chinese character face and thick glasses. Wearing a blue jacket that now looks a bit outdated, he is wearing a white shirt and red tie.

"Hello, Director Li, I am Xing Dongliang from the Bureau of Ocean Exploration. These are my colleagues. Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us."

The other party was very polite.

Li Fanyu had an idea when he felt that the other person's palms were covered with calluses and that there was a faint smell of seawater on his body that was probably due to long-term work at sea.

He nodded, made a gesture to several people to sit down, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Tiancheng, to Zhengxin Group. You are welcome, sit down quickly."

After several people were seated, Li Fanyu picked up the tea poured by the receptionist and glanced at them.

Xing Dongliang did not speak first, but waited until the receptionist who poured water went out, then looked at Li Fanyu and said: "Director Li, we are here this time mainly because we want to communicate with you about your group's previous work in Tokyo Industrial International The bionic robotic arm on display at the exhibition."

Sure enough!

Li Fanyu smiled calmly and put the tea on the table, "Oh? Is your Ocean Exploration Bureau interested in this thing?"

Xing Dongliang and several of his colleagues looked at each other slightly and then said: "Director Li, actually, we are not interested in this thing. But we need this thing too much!"

As he spoke, he picked up the briefcase next to the chair, took out a document from it, and handed it to Li Fanyu.

"This is a project we are currently working on. Director Li, please take a look at it."

Li Fanyu picked up the information.

The information talks about a construction project for a seabed mineral deposit. According to the date of the information, this project has been started for more than four years. But Li Fanyu is not a professional. There are too many professional things in it, and he only has a partial understanding of them and is not very clear.

He glanced at Xing Dongliang suspiciously, "Director Xing, this is..."

"This is what happened, Director Li." ”

Li Fanyu was stunned, "I know this. I was still in high school at that time, and I remember the TV was still broadcasting it. I remember that the Jiaolong placed a sculpture of a Chinese dragon on the seabed, right?"

"That's right."

The sea area where the Jiaolong manned submersible operated that time was a polymetallic nodule exploration area signed by the my country Oceanographic Association and the International Seabed Authority, and my country has priority mining rights.

The area covers approximately 75,000 square kilometers. During that operation, we discovered that there are a large number of manganese nodules distributed in this area, and the reserves are so large that they exceed any area that has been discovered in the world so far! ”

Li Fanyu frowned: "Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes, after that, we started the project you are holding in your hands now."

"Is mining successful now?" Li Fanyu asked immediately.

Xing Dongliang looked slightly embarrassed, "This is the reason why we came to Zhengxin this time,"

Li Fanyu straightened his body and waited for the next step.

“The agreement we signed with the International Seabed Authority at that time was valid for ten years. Now...this period has arrived soon. But because the seabed situation in this collection area is too complicated, and we did not conduct the research at 5,000 meters In-depth operating experience, so the construction of infrastructure has not been completed yet. According to the agreement signed at that time, if the mining level cannot be reached by the end of this year, then... the International Seabed Authority will redistribute the ownership of mining rights in this sea area. ”

Li Fanyu wrinkled his nose, "But now that you are already under construction, the rules are so strict?"

Xing Dongliang smiled forcefully, "Dong Li doesn't know that the total amount of manganese nodules proven in this area has reached an astonishing 600 million tons, with a manganese content of 55%. In addition to manganese, it also contains iron, nickel, There are more than 20 metal elements such as copper, cobalt, and titanium. The content of these elements can be said to be very high!

According to estimates from our Exploration Bureau, if all the manganese nodules in this area are extracted, the metals obtained, based on my country's current consumption levels, can supply copper for 20 years, nickel for 60 years, manganese for 35 years, and cobalt for 35 years. It can be supplied for 90 years, titanium can be supplied for 65 years, and manganese can be supplied for 125 years! Most of these metals are on the list of strategically necessary supplies.

So, this seabed mining area has become a piece of meat in the eyes of various countries! As long as you let go, it will definitely fall into the hands of Japan, the United States and Britain, the powerful powers in seabed exploration and mining! They had already been eyeing this area. ”

At this point, Li Fanyu completely understood.

"Tell me what you want the bionic robotic arm to do. More importantly, how much are you prepared to pay for this new technology."

He crossed Erlang's legs and started to steal.
