Shortly after signing a contract with Mkana,
Drill Ralph’s representative Frank Ralph and his wife Becky Ralph came to visit.
“I heard you sold the oil field.”
“Yes, I think you’ve been contacted by Mkana?”
When signing the contract, he advised that it would be easier if he proceeded with the development phase with Drill Ralph, an exploration and drilling company, and Simon seemed to have accepted that opinion.
“I received a collaboration offer on good terms. I haven’t accepted it yet.”
“Why? No, why don’t you take that great opportunity and hesitate?”
“……”
When Frank hesitated and couldn’t speak, Becky spoke instead.
“I heard that Lee Yi was very shocked when he was doing oil field exploration.”
“Isn’t that a shock?”
“Anyone involved in the drilling company would be shocked to see it. They drilled three boreholes and found oil fields all three times.”
say back
“So? What does that have to do with refusing a collaboration offer?”
“Hmm, that’s… I want to sign a business agreement with All Mining.”
“What did you hear from Mr. Denver?”
“No. This is the decision that Lee and I made after seeing this Nova Scotia expedition.”
“okay.”
I folded my arms and weighed their worth.
Drill Ralph, a Canadian offshore drilling company.
Although the scale itself is smaller than that of Denver Corporation, Jonathan Denver’s founding company, it is a company with technology that is as strong as that.
Even if the relationship is not as deep as All-Tech, I thought it would be easier if we received their help when entering North America in the future.
“Okay. Let’s make a business partnership with Drill Ralph. But not now.”
“……?”
“There are so many projects going on right now. First, accept Mkana’s offer. After that work, we’ll start developing the oil field together.”
Then Frank, who had been silent, asked.
“You mean to finish the development of oil fields in Nova Scotia?”
“If you start, you have to finish it.”
“Okay. I’ll call Emkana as soon as I get back.”
“And when you’re working there, could you please do me a favor?”
“What do you want me to do?”
“When estimating the production of the M1 block, please guide it to the west from the location of the exploration borehole.”
“That’s right, if you suggest that we drill westward when additional drilling is done, it’s possible, but is there any special reason?”
That way, you will find a larger reservoir and mistakenly think that there will be a lot of production.
As you can see, the bottom of the oil is full of water.
“You’ll find out why when you dig.”
If you don’t listen to me and dig eastward, the business partnership will end.
It’s a bit early when Mkana finds out that Nova Scotia’s oil field is actually a bucket of water, but I’m sure she got the money. no problem.
‘This is a test to see if Drill Ralph is listening, so do it well.’

The next meeting after Frank and Becky went was the GL group.
“CEO Jin, I heard you said that you sold the Nova Scotia oil field to Emcana.”
Koh Sang-moon said with a playful smile on his lips.
I started lightly and drew a decisive line to avoid coming in with a heavy hit.
“I can’t share this case, because it’s not part of the resource diplomacy project.”
“Wow, are you eating five billion dollars alone? Are we still partners?”
“There is no broth.”
“So…”
Koh Sang-moon licked his lips and repeated only the coffee placed in front of him.
“What’s wrong? Even with the existing ones, the profits are sufficient.”
“No, the resource diplomacy project is getting bigger and bigger than what I said at the beginning. I don’t think this is worth 40 trillion won…”
“The person who informed me that it was Joe 40 is Mr. Koh. Did you know that the board was going to be this big?”
“I think I knew.”
“It must be an illusion. There were many variables in this Canadian case alone.
“Then can’t we raise our share a little bit? We don’t just put 5 trillion, but as a percentage.”
Hey, you can’t come and do this now.
Now that I see, it was because of this story that I brought out the $5 billion first.
“I didn’t know you were changing your words like this. If you wanted a bigger profit, you said that you would take the risk and ask for a percentage?
“Haha, I tried stabbing it just in case, but the seeds still don’t work. I’m sorry.
That’s weird. you stabbed me? Koh Sang-moon stabbed me if I stabbed him deeply, but he wasn’t such a miserable person that he poked me to see if he had gone.
Although the group is large, this is not his style.
“CEO Jin-nim, it’s all my fault. At that time, the manager suggested that we change the 5th group to a percentage because CEO Jin-nim was too burdened, but I said I should do it… I’m sorry, I put pressure on the two of you.”
Whoa, even Kang Jun-ho?
Are you trying to show the situation where the boss tried to make up for the mistakes of the subordinates even by apologizing for them?
What are you trying to do to beautify it?
‘If I had been the good-natured me of the past, I would have been mesmerized by the appearance wrapped in this beauty.’
Still, it’s nice to see the two of them getting along.
The inside is dark.
“Chief Kang, are you saying that the secretary who made 5 trillion in net profit has hurt the world? Besides, that money can be used wherever you want without washing it.”
“…Oh, yes.”
“If that’s the way Mr. Koh longs for, just resign and come to Australia. Whether it’s an All Mining or a P&B group, I’ll make a seat for you at any place you want.”
“Oh, no. I crave. Absolutely not. Ugh, don’t say that.”
Kang Jun-ho was sweating profusely and waved his hands.
“Or if you both want anything from me, just tell me. We’re partners.”
“I don’t think acting works for CEO Jin, sir.”
Koh Sang-moo smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry, CEO Jin. It’s a bit awkward to talk about, so I’m back.”
“What are you doing?”
“The next step of the representative Jin, he will probably go to Africa, right? Where the Vice Minister Son is.”
“It is. It is the most important place in the resource diplomacy project in a sense. Besides, I thought there would be no opportunity, but an opportunity did arise.”
I guess you know
The reason why Koh Sang-moon and Kang Jun-ho caught the wind while filming a sitcom.
“That mine… Shouldn’t we invest a little too?”
“I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to eat it yet.”
“I think I can do it if it’s Jin.”
Again, it’s a burdensome look.
“As you know, lithium, cobalt and nickel. These three resources will bring upheavals in the raw material market in the future. Our affiliates, trading and chemical, are also focusing on them.”
“It’s an important, but rare metal.”
“Then why don’t you give us an opportunity to invest in that nickel mine?”
The three core resources were the materials for batteries, which are the main players in the future electric vehicle market.
Among them, nickel was by far the most attracting attention.
The reason is cobalt.
Since more than half of the cobalt is buried in Congo, Africa, it has started to be used for exploitation of children or to finance war.
For that reason, there was an international movement to designate it as a conflict mineral like diamond.
Therefore, industry insiders were expecting that the proportion of cobalt in the battery would decrease and the proportion of nickel would increase in return.
The GL group knew better because there was GL Chemicals, a battery maker that is regarded as one of the best in the world.
“I do this.”
“……?”
“If I own the mine, I’ll give it a share. In return, give me a stake in GL Chemicals of equal value.”
“It’s like an exchange of shares.”
“You’re a partner. We do production together, manufacture and sell together, and how good is it?”
This is resource diplomacy.
The two exchanged glances, and Koh Sang-moon spoke as the representative.
“Okay. That’s it.”
That’s a cool answer
That is why securing nickel is so important.
“Then let’s talk about the rest of the project, shall we?”
I asked about resource diplomacy projects in countries other than Canada.
Kang Jun-ho started the briefing as if he had been waiting.
“For Southeast Asia, the Myanmar offshore block contract is the fastest in the process. Thanks to Mr. Jin’s introduction, Raong Schettaong, even political figures have moved, and it is expected that the slush funds will be evacuated without difficulty.”
“Isn’t that enough of a case?”
“Of course. CEO Jin gave about 20 times the money he won for the tournament.”
“Since the Xue Taong Group is the leading power in Myanmar, I will do my best until the very end. It will be of great help when doing business in Myanmar in the future.”
“Haha, I’m still talking about CEO Jin, and he told me to tell him if there’s something difficult. How did you win 10 billion won and win your heart?”
Well, back then, Joe Roy had a common enemy.
“We’ll talk about that later at a drinking party, how about somewhere else?”
“There was also progress in the Capuas bituminous coal mine in Indonesia. In this case, Manager Lee Young-hoon, who is in charge of the Korea Mineral Resources Corporation, was blocking the contract due to the back contract and rebates. I was watching over the back of Manager Jang Min-soo, so I decided that it would be difficult to intervene, so I decided to just secure the data.”
“Does the Salin group seem to have an influence in Indonesia?”
“If you look at it in Korea, you can think of it as the Seongsam Group.”
Well, that makes me nod my head.
“Contact that person named Young-Hoon Lee and make sure to secure the corruption data. Probably the headquarters or the prosecution will spread it around, but if you do, you will be ignored and the data will be destroyed, so you will have to move before that.”
“Yeah, I’ve already attached a person.”
“What about next?”
“This is Uzbekistan in Central Asia. Thanks to the purchase of Minister Komilov, everything went smoothly. We changed the Chim-Kaltasai mine to Almariksa’s own development and made it a private slush fund. We stole it.”
At that time, Koh Sang-moon added a remark.
“It was great that you informed me of the genetic location of the Caspian Sea. Without it, I would not have been able to convince Minister Komilov, who has a close relationship with Vice Minister Sohn. How did you know?”
I saw it with my own eyes, how do I know what?
I didn’t answer his question, I just said what I had to say.
“As the energy minister, he would have had no choice but to be tempted by the Caspian Sea.”
The Caspian Sea is the battlefield for oil money to the extent that it is said to be the forefront of the resource war.
Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan, Kisgistan, Iran and China.
The world’s largest inland sea, the Caspian Sea, was said to have more than 270 billion barrels of oil reserves, and the countries that came into contact with it turned their eyes on it and were pouring their national power into excavating oil fields.
In such a situation, I had no choice but to release Son Young-seok’s hand since I informed the Uzbekistan energy minister about the location of the adjacent mine.
Although it is an amount that will not come out much and will dry up once it goes into production. Huh.
“Chief Kang, continue.”
At Koh Sang-moon’s words, from Kang Jun-ho’s mouth, mines and companies from the Middle East, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile came out one after another.
There is no end, very.
‘It would have been impossible without the GL group.’
Still, it was more comfortable to have those who would be my hands and feet.
All I have to do is figure out the truth of mines and mines, and tell them where to eat and where to steal money.
‘I’m curious about the expression on the faces of the president and his party when they harvest these fruits. huh.’
Now, the next turn is real unlike Canada.
It is also a mine that will brighten the future of all mining.
