Chapter 669 Identifying the Carasso Mining Area
The convoy is passing through the streets of Perth. Although it is the capital of Western Australia, it does not seem to be full of high-rise buildings as people imagine.But the whole city looks very clean!
"Young Master Fang, you have picked a good time to come to Perth!" Xia Wen said with a smile, "The Perth Wildflower Festival, the largest horticultural exhibition in Australia and well-known all over the world, is held during this period. It is said that this year, There are more than [-] varieties of flowers in bloom! In Kings Park and Perth Botanic Gardens, it has now become a world of flowers!"
"More than seven thousand kinds of flowers! So many!" Women are always more interested in flowers, and Aso Xiangyue and Lin Rong are no exception.
"So, Perth is also known as the capital of flowers in the world!" Xia Wen smiled and pointed out the window, "Look at this side, go north from here to the city center, and it only takes a few days to get to the city center." Minutes away, you can go to the North Bridge District, where there are many Chinese restaurants and Chinese shops, and it is one of the places where the Chinese gather the most. It is called the Chinatown of Perth! And it is also the concentration of Perth culture and entertainment venues , Every weekend and holiday, it is crowded with people, very lively!"
"I heard that Australians are paid once a week? So every weekend when wages are paid, businesses and restaurants will extend their working hours, and at the beginning of the week, many people will be in a situation where they are short of money?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a smile .In his previous life, he learned this news from the Internet. To be honest, he felt that the Australian company was barbaric in this regard.Compared with a monthly salary, for young people who are inclined to moonlight.much better.
"Well, that's true. Therefore, every weekend is a peak period for Australian merchants and catering industries. However, some large companies and government agencies raise capital every two weeks." Xia Wen said with a smile, "When I first came here, I really didn't get used to it."
Lin Rong looked out from the car window, and after a while, she turned around in surprise and said, "Brother Wen, there are so many fat people here!" You will understand later!" Xia Wen smiled wryly, "Australia's social welfare is very sound. Even if you don't go to work, you can still survive. Therefore, it is very difficult to see beggars in Australia. Even if there are, I am afraid it is not Australia. People! And they Australians like to drink alcohol and eat high-calorie and high-fat foods, so fat people are inevitable!" "Aren't they thinking about their own health?" Lin Rong said in disbelief.
"Healthy? Australia's medical security system is also very complete, and basically personal consumption is not high. Even a serious illness is not difficult for them personally. They have no worries. Naturally, they will not I care too much!" Xia Wen shrugged.He could completely understand Lin Rong's surprise. When he first came to Australia, he also had the same doubts.
"From a certain point of view, they are more like ※※※※ countries than you. Not only the national income is high, the tax is high, and the welfare is also high. It can be said that from birth to death, a citizen, except for daughter-in-law and childbirth, most of them Some things will be arranged by Zheng Fu for you. Citizens don’t have any pressure on life.” Aso Xiangyue smiled, “In this regard, we, Japan, are not as good as them!” Although Japan is the second largest economic power in the world, But the life pressure of the nationals is too great compared with that of the Australians!Aso Xiangyue was also an ordinary Japanese person at the beginning, and her current status is naturally not as good as before, but the experience of that year is still engraved in her heart.
"Yes, it's no wonder that the Australian government receives tens of thousands of immigration applications from all over the world every year!" Xia Wenxin said empathetically.
Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly. The current situation in Australia can be said to be difficult to replicate. Australia's rich natural resources are incomparable to other countries, and they are also the envy of other countries. For this reason, there is even a The phrase is specifically used to describe Australia—"ry", which means that Australia has been very lucky since its founding. The people do not need to work hard. As long as the cattle and sheep graze freely, and dig mines on the ground, they can live at the highest level in the world. Life.So, in previous lives, netizens said that reincarnation is a technical job!
What Xia Wen prepared for Fang Mingyuan and the others were three villas not far from the beach. This is a villa area with beautiful scenery and convenient transportation!The surrounding supporting facilities also include an 18-hole golf course, a famous wetland bird watching platform, a seaside park, an air force museum, an equestrian center, a well-known winery, a leisure estate and an open wildlife park.
According to Fang Mingyuan's instructions, Xia Wen bought ten villas here, as a place for domestic personnel to come to Perth for work and vacation in the future!
"How much is a square meter here?" Standing in front of the villa, Fang Mingyuan asked Xia Wen, looking at the three-story du li villa.
"When I bought it, it was 200 Australian dollars per square meter, and now it is more than 240 Australian dollars per square meter. The total area of this villa is more than 200 square meters. Because I bought a lot at the time, I got a certain discount , the total price is [-] million Australian dollars." Xia Wen said.
"Compared with Sydney, is it more expensive there?" Fang Mingyuan said casually.A du li villa of more than 240 square meters has a garden in the front and a swimming pool in the back. The beach is 400 meters away, and it only takes 10 minutes to drive from the center of Perth. The total price of such a house only costs 200 million Australian dollars!As far as he knows, the average annual salary of Australians is more than 4 and close to 20 Australian dollars.In other words, in Australia, a husband and wife who work normally can buy this place with only [-] years of income.With such a price and such living conditions, what did the citizens of those first-tier cities in China feel in the previous life?
"Well, it is true! Compared with other major cities in Australia, residents of Perth have a higher standard of living. Because it has always been in the Perth metropolitan area. Generally, wages in all walks of life are only slightly lower than those in other major cities. It is a relatively large city, but the real estate prices here are much lower than these east coast cities." Xia Wen nodded.
"Well, you may consider buying another batch of properties for the company!" Fang Mingyuan stretched his waist.Although Perth's current real estate is relatively cheap, as China's steel industry develops rapidly in the next century, and the demand for overseas iron ore increases greatly, Perth's development speed will naturally increase accordingly.By that time, the real estate prices here will also increase significantly!Therefore, buying a batch of real estate in Perth in advance can not only guarantee the living problems of more people from China in the future.It's also a good investment.
"Yes! I will pay attention!" Xia Wen replied.No one dared to ignore Fang Mingyuan's business vision!
A group of people walked into the villa, and Fang Mingyuan sat down in the main seat in the living room.Lin Rong and Aso Xiangyue sat around him.Xia Wen sat across from him.Others are responsible for continuing to send the luggage on the car to the room of the villa.
"Brother Xia, okay, now you can roughly talk about the current situation in Australia!" Fang Mingyuan said.Although the report that Xia Wen sent back was quite detailed, what I saw on paper couldn't compare to listening to Xia Wen's personal narration.
"Yes!" Xia Wen took out a map from the bag next to him, put it in front of Fang Mingyuan and said, "Young Master Fang, please look. This is the Kalasuo mining area you specified!" The Kalaso mining area selected by Fang Mingyuan It is about 330 kilometers away from Perth, with an area of about 270 square kilometers. It is also more than 230 kilometers away from the nearest port, and the annual throughput of that port has reached its limit!That is.If the Fang family wins this mining area, then in order to transport the iron ore out, it is necessary to build a dedicated railway line of more than 200 kilometers and invest in expanding the port.
Xia Wen once estimated that in this way.The initial investment alone will be as high as billions of dollars!In this way, the production cost of iron ore will undoubtedly be raised!If it is said that the iron ore reserves in the Carasso mining area are abundant and of high quality, it can still guarantee a profit.However, judging from the current information, there are about 15 billion tons of magnetite with a grade of 20.00% five or six in the Carasso mining area!
15 billion tons of magnetite with a grade of 20.00% five or six!If this condition is placed in the country, it will naturally be a pretty good mine.But in Australia, this level can only be said to be mediocre, not very good. Although it cannot be said that there are many mining areas with better conditions in Australia, it is not difficult. turn up.At least Xia Wen has already prepared three mining areas that are better than the Carasso area in terms of reserves and traffic conditions.
Therefore, from Xia Wen's point of view, Fang Ming did not want to designate the Carasso mining area, which is really incomprehensible.However, Fang Mingyuan is the boss, and the boss's decision, of course, must be implemented if he understands it, and he must understand it in the process of implementing it if he does not understand it!
"According to the preliminary exploration of the exploration company, the preliminary results have come out! I have sent back to the company a few days ago." Xia Wendao, "Now, there are so many basic information about the mining area!" "Well, now we have to Where is the main obstacle to winning the mining rights of the Kalaso mining area? "Fang Mingyuan said bluntly, "I have read your report, and I think the future here seems to be relatively bright!" Xia Wen couldn't help showing a helpless expression In the report, although Xia Wen didn't say it explicitly, between the lines, there was a vague intention to persuade Fang Mingyuan to give up the mining area.In Xia Wen's opinion, in Western Australia, there are many places with better conditions and lower mining costs than the Carasso mining area, so why hang yourself on the Carasso tree!
"Fang Shao, if this is the case, our initial investment is too high! We need to expand the port and build the railway. Just these two things require a large-scale investment! And these investments will eventually be included in the iron ore In addition to the mining cost of ore, plus the cost of sea freight, it is completely meaningless to transport these iron ores back to China! It is better to import iron ore from other companies in Australia, and the cost should be less." Xia Wendao .Although he had said these words many times, he still wanted to try again to convince Fang Mingyuan.
If not, Fang Mingyuan knew that in the future, the international market price of iron ore would rise all the way to an unbelievable height.
If Fang Mingyuan hadn't known, the iron ore reserves in the Carasso mining area were not only 15 billion tons of magnetite with a grade of only 20.00% five-six, but the total reserves discovered by exploration exceeded 35 billion tons, with a grade of up to 30.00% Eight, the lowest is 30.00% four super large mining area - this is the result of only deep exploration of 60.00% three land in the entire mining area.Fang Mingyuan would definitely agree with Xia Wen's opinion!
Moreover, Fang Mingyuan also knew that although the mining areas that Xia Wen was interested in had no owners yet, in fact, they had already been divided up by several large international mining companies. If he stretched out his hand, It will definitely cause a strong reaction from these companies.Although, in terms of financial resources, the Fang family is not afraid of them at all, and the rate of return of these companies has been greatly reduced due to the slowdown of the global economy, so they will definitely not start a war lightly.However, when the impact of the financial crisis passes and the price of iron ore falls back, how can these companies easily lose the fat that is already on their lips by the Fang family?
And these companies have been mining mines in Australia for many years, they can be described as local snakes!Moreover, they are either owned by developed countries such as Europe and the United States, or local companies in Australia. Even if they can't do anything to the Fang family on the surface, it is still easy to trip the Fang family secretly.By that time, wouldn't the people in charge of the Fang family be busy putting out the fire all day long?The attitude of the Australian government, judging from Fang Mingyuan's previous life, was still very biased towards them.If there is going to be trouble, the Fang family must be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Fang Mingyuan didn't want to touch the interests of these established mining companies prematurely, but wanted devils to enter the village, not those who shot!After taking down the Carasso area, which they have been looking down on for the time being, when the price of iron ore in the international market soars, and they realize that the exploration reserves in the Carasso area are wrong, the Fang family has already established a firm foothold in Western Australia!
And at that time, with domestic cooperation, the Fang family was qualified to wrestle with these established mining companies!Only then will he have the confidence to compete with these established mining companies in the future!
Although Fang Mingyuan believed that this time would not be too long, it was definitely not now!
