"Huh? Xiaojing, do you mean you want to merge my Rongbao Mining?" Guo Dabao asked Yang Jing expressionlessly.

"Oh, Uncle Guo, you misunderstood what I meant. It's my fault for not explaining it clearly. Let me explain it to you in detail."

Guo Dabao nodded without saying anything.

"Uncle Guo, now Julong Fund owns more than 20 mining companies in more than 20 countries around the world, in which it holds absolute controlling stakes. Most of these 20 countries are in Africa, Latin America, and Canada. The products range from base metals such as iron ore and bauxite to precious metals such as copper and precious metals, as well as energy minerals such as coal mines, oil and gas fields, and uranium mines."

Guo Dabao and Zhao Meng's faces changed again after hearing this. They knew very well what these mineral resources meant. The reason why international mining giants like BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Anglo American were so powerful was because the mineral resources they developed covered a wide range. Almost all the mineral resources that could be developed on this planet were included in their products.

In other words, if you want to become a true national mining magnate, then the mineral resources under your name must be extensive and abundant! This is the basic condition for becoming an international mining magnate.

"These mining companies are not very large, but the mineral resources under their names are very good. It's just that they are limited by technology and funds, as well as suppression from major mining giants, these mining companies have not developed. Therefore, I want to combine these mining companies that are absolutely controlled by the Dragon Fund to form a mining group to enhance international competitiveness. In particular, China currently has a great demand for mineral resources, so I want Rongbao Mining to become a bridge to connect this newly established mining group with our domestic mineral resource consumption."

After Yang Jing said this, Guo Dabao's expression gradually relaxed. "Xiao Jing, I understand what you mean. You have resources now, but lack reasonable channels to enter our country, so you plan to let Rongbao Mining take the lead?"

"Yes!" Yang Jing nodded affirmatively. "Uncle Guo, you also know that the international mining giants now have opinions and ideas about China. They covet our huge domestic market, but they are also worried about other things. Therefore, there is an undercurrent in the international mining industry. Although the mining companies under my name are not large in scale, they cannot blatantly sell the mineral resources that are urgently needed in China to our country at extremely low prices. You should be very clear about this situation."

Guo Dabao nodded somewhat sadly. This is the current reality. If China wants to continue to develop at a high speed, then the necessary mineral resources are indispensable. However, except for a very small number of mineral resources that China can be self-sufficient, most of the other mineral resources need to be imported from abroad, especially energy minerals and non-ferrous metal minerals. This has become a means for foreigners to strangle China, but China is really powerless to do anything about it.

"It is precisely because of this situation that I have this idea. Aren't they holding us back? Then let's sneak in and give them a head start. I plan to still use the name of Rongbao Mining Group for this newly established mining group, and once your Rongbao Mining joins, you will hold more than 30% of the shares in this new group. After all, although these mining companies are absolutely controlled by Julong Fund, there are still some shareholders in the local area. These shareholders must exist, after all, the mineral deposits are on other people's territory, so even if a new mining group is established, they also need to hold a certain number of shares in the new mining group. However, as long as Rongbao Mining joins, Rongbao Mining will be the main body of this mining holding group, and you, Uncle Guo, will also become the controller of this holding group."

After a pause, Yang Jing looked at Guo Dabao's somewhat interested expression and continued, "Uncle Guo, I know that our Rongbao Mining has a background, but I don't think this can be an obstacle to this matter. To be honest, the combined assets of the more than 20 mining companies are far greater than the current Rongbao Mining. If you are interested in this matter, you can go back and discuss it with the leaders, but I think this is definitely a good thing. Whether it is for Rongbao Mining or for our country, it is a good opportunity to break the current bottleneck situation."

Guo Dabao nodded silently. How could he not know that everything Yang Jing said was a huge opportunity for Rongbao Mining?

"Xiao Jing, as you said, I can't make the final decision on this matter by myself. I need to discuss it with the higher-ups and see what they think. But I think you have offered such good conditions, the higher-ups should not disagree. Give me a few days and I will handle this matter!"
