25 Iron Mine

Zhang Long and Mei Zi found Cao Yu together.

"Master Cao, I'm here to say goodbye to you. There's such a big deal at home, I have to go back and deal with it. That rebellious son... I'm really worried."

"Sir Zhang, don't be polite. Let's deal with the matter first. We will slowly negotiate cooperation in the future." Cao Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Marshal Cao, for understanding!" Zhang Long replied with a smile. Afterwards, he glanced at Mei Zi: "Marrior Cao, he is just a little girl... She felt a little uncomfortable on the way here and has not fully recovered..."

Cao Yu actually knew that it was just an excuse, but he was so happy that he pretended to be confused.

He had known this elf Mei Zi for a long time. To be honest, he still liked it very much. He was smart, capable, wise, and good at municipal management. In addition, she was easy to accept new things, not stubborn and old-fashioned, and was a talent type that he liked and was always looking for.

If you want to make Chuzhou stronger and bigger, the most important thing is talent!

What is the most important thing in this era?

Still a talent!

So Cao Yu had actually set his sights on Longcheng and Yunzhou. These two cities were closest to him and not far away. He had already started searching for talents from those two cities.

And this plum is Cao Yu’s focus.

He had long wanted to dig her to manage the municipal work for himself.

Therefore, when he heard that Mei Zi was going to stay, he was actually happy in his heart without saying it.

Whether it is cheating or other means, you must develop Meizi into a member of her management team. Well, let’s arrange for her to be her secretary in the future!

With his own secretary, Cao Yu's future life will be easier and he will not have to do everything himself.

very good!

The secretary does something!

After seeing off Zhang Long, Cao Yu and Mei Zi returned to the city lord's mansion together.

"Laura, please re-arrange your accommodation for Miss Meizi." Cao Yu called Laura, a beautiful dragon clan, over.

He is not very familiar with Meizi now, so he still needs to pay attention to some details that should be paid attention to.

"Okay handsome man!" Laura nodded with a smile: "I'll arrange for her to live next to me?"

"You can discuss it yourself. I only have one request, and I must satisfy Miss Meizi."

"Okay handsome man!"

The two turned around and left, and Cao Yu also went to work on his own.

His next task is to create a steel factory. In fact, if the system is not mentioned, he will also start working on this aspect.

There is no doubt that steel is very important. It can even be said that the strength of a country or region's comprehensive national strength can be directly measured by the steel output of this country.

But Chuzhou has no steel plant.

In fact, let alone steel plants, there is not even a small steelmaking workshop.

"Do I also want to create a national steelmaking force?" Cao Yu frowned.

But soon he denied his idea. He could not only be greedy for the grandeur of quantity, but what he should pay more attention to is the quality of steel.

Both are big steel powers, and the gap between China and Germany is not very big. One can only smelter low-end steel, while the other occupies the high-end market and is completely different from the same dimension.

"I want to be a big steel country like Germany." Cao Yu made up his mind secretly.

However, it is not enough to have determination on this matter, and other things are the most important.

The first thing Cao Yu had to do was to do a "feasibility study on the construction of a steel plant in Chuzhou."

The first question is, is there any iron ore in Chuzhou?

If there is not even an iron ore, then...it will be difficult to realize. After all, if the iron ore can only be transported from other continents for a long distance, the cost will be too high.

Another question is, even if there is iron ore in Chuzhou, is it high-quality? Is it a poor or rich ore? Is it a magnet or hematite or limon?

Cao Yu took out one book after another from the bookshelf, including history and geography, and then began to review it.

But after reading several books in a row, I found nothing.

He was busy, and the knock on the door sounded.

"Please come in!" Cao Yu didn't raise his head and said while busy reading the information.

"Master!"

A gentle voice came in.

Not Laura, but plum.

Cao Yu put down the book and raised his head.

Um?

Cao Yu was stunned.

Meizi changed into a dress and put on a white dress, which made her eyes shine.

"Have you settled down?" Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, and after coming to his senses, he quickly asked.

"We've settled, thank you, Marshal."

"What's missing?"

"No more." Anna gently moved her lotus steps and came to Cao Yu's side: "Master, do you need my help?"

Cao Yu originally wanted to say no, but the words were all over his mouth. He suddenly remembered something, quickly swallowed the words back into his stomach, and asked directly: "Miss Meizi, do you know where there are iron ore nearby?"

"Iron ore?" Mei Zi was stunned.

"Yes." Cao Yu nodded.

"Master, are you referring to a poor or a rich ore?"

Um?

Cao Yu's eyes lit up.

Mei Zi even knows this!

It seems there is a chance.

"Rich mine!" Cao Yu said: "I want to run a steel plant, but poor mines are definitely not possible. The iron content must be at least 40%, so it must be a rich mine to have mining value, and the storage capacity must be at least 10 million tons."

"DaShip wants to run a steel factory?" Mei Zi was stunned. She didn't know what she thought of. She lost her mind for several seconds. After coming back to her senses, she asked: "DaShip, do you have any requirements for the type? Is it necessary to be magnetite or limonite ore!"

"It's better to be hematite!" Cao Yu said.

"Hematite? Why?" Mei Zi was puzzled.

Because at this time, it is generally believed that magnetite is better.

When Cao Yu heard Mei Zi’s question, he instinctively replied: “The reduction of hematite is better, so it is best to be hematite!”

Reduction?

Mei Zi was stunned.

It seems that she has never heard of the word reducing. Is this a professional term?

She is also very well-read, but she has never heard of it!

Unfortunately, Cao Yu just said it casually and did not explain it.

Mei Zi silently remembered the three words "reduction", then smiled and said, "Master, you may be disappointed. As far as I know, there is no iron ore in the area near us, and there is not even a limonite ore!"

"No?" Cao Yu was stunned. After coming to his senses, he was disappointed.

"Master, my father once wanted to build a steel factory, so I accompanied him to search for many places, but I couldn't find them. We searched for more than three months, but only found some poor mines, which were not worth mining."

None were found?

Cao Yu was stunned.

He looked at Mei Zi seriously. Mei Zi nodded seriously, and then continued: "I spent a month checking the historical information of various nearby cities, but I couldn't find any records of the appearance of rich mines."

this?

Cao Yu didn't know what to say at once.
