Of course, the various oil tankers produced by the shipyards of Guo's Shipping Group, especially supertankers, are urgently needed by Australian shipping companies.

Therefore, when it was learned that Fang Mingyuan was coming to Western Australia for inspection, government officials and many business owners in Australia were looking forward to it.As for the Bruce Brothers, who had a good cooperative relationship with the Fang family, they naturally became popular in the eyes of everyone. I don't know how many people have received calls, asking them to say something nice in front of Fang Mingyuan.

Over the years, there have been more and more economic exchanges between Australia and China, and the import and export trade between the two sides has also increased steadily. The Australians have also gained a precise understanding of the situation of China's enterprises. Naturally, they understand Fang Mingyuan's role in the Hong Kong Kumho movie better. The huge influence in the group and Guo's Shipping Group Company - he can decide many things with one word!Moreover, the Fang family also has a great influence in China's domestic economic circle. Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, Qinxi Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, Carrefour Supermarket, Deguang Electronics Group and other enterprises also have great influence in China. Quite famous.There are also many people who hope to enter the Chinese domestic market through cooperation with the Fang family.

So when Brother Bruce and Fang Mingyuan stood together, their posture was very low, and the arrogance that Caucasians often exude inadvertently when facing other races could not be seen at all.

"Mr. Bruce, thank you two for taking care of Haiping Mining Company over the years. I believe our cooperation this time will definitely be a win-win result!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Please tell Mr. Governor that you don't have to come back in such a hurry. , I will stay in Western Australia for a few days."

Brother Bruce showed a look of joy.To be honest, they didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan was so talkative, and he didn't put on airs of a rich man at all.And as far as they know, many Chinese officials or foreign students who came to Australia are so arrogant that they don't even pay attention to Australia's laws and regulations, although they have all been punished by law in the end.

"Mr. Fang is right. Our cooperation this time must be a result that both parties are satisfied with!" Congressman Bruce laughed.Fang Mingyuan and the others were not satisfied.Bruce didn't know, but Haiping Mining Company invested heavily in the Carasso mining area and the port of Kurisbane, as well as the railway built to connect the two places. The economic driving force of Western Australia is obvious!

Seventy to eighty percent of Western Australia's annual total merchandise exports are various minerals and energy, among which coal and iron ore are the top priorities.As the demand for the international steel industry is weak due to the slow economic recovery, the iron ore market naturally recovers very slowly.Before Haiping Mining Company developed the Carraso Mine, the entire State of Western Australia, except the capital Perth.The rest of the cities and towns have been in economic decline for several years, and the unemployment rate is steadily increasing.In order to be able to find job opportunities, young people in these cities and towns have to go to those cities in Australia with good economic conditions, which in turn aggravates the decline of these small cities and towns.It caused dissatisfaction among the residents of the state of Western Australia.

The development of the Kalaso mining area by Haiping Mining Company not only brought huge investment and many job opportunities, but also caused the three major mining companies that had been reducing production in order to reduce costs, because of the emergence of competitors.It is also necessary to take into account the negative sentiment of the local government of Western Australia, which had to stop production cuts.

Moreover, the arrival of Haiping Mining Company also broke the control of the three major mining companies on the logistics system of mineral resources in Western Australia and even Australia as a whole.before that.As long as the three major mining companies refuse, companies that cannot use this logistics system will face the dilemma that even if the ore is mined, it cannot be shipped out.Moreover, even if it can be shipped out, the high transportation cost will make the company fall into a situation of continuous losses!

Haiping Mining Company, on the other hand, abandoned the use of the logistics system of the three major mining companies from the very beginning, and instead built its own dedicated transportation system, thus breaking the monopoly of the three major mining companies in Western Australia, which is also the state of Western Australia. results that the government would like to see.

Although the economic situation in Western Australia has improved significantly, for those local governments, how to ensure that the local economy continues to improve, increase local fiscal taxes and ensure that residents are fully employed is undoubtedly a task. The top priority of these local governments is that they have no choice but to introduce foreign capital and sell mineral resources in a short period of time.

Anyway, it is all about selling mineral resources, so many people in these local governments think there is no difference between selling to Haiping Mining Company or the three major mining companies.

However, after the arrival of Haiping Mining Company, the three major mining companies have softened their attitudes towards the demands of the local government. This is still fresh in everyone's memory. Therefore, the local government has always contacted Haiping Mining Company, hoping that the other party can develop in its own territory. mineral resources.It's just that Xia Wen himself doesn't have enough confidence in the future profit prospects of Haiping Mining Company, and the development of the Carasso mining area is still far from complete, so these requests are all transferred to the country and will not be asked.

This time Fang Mingyuan came in person, and Brother Bruce naturally thought of the request from the local government of his hometown Malzate.

Malzat is located in the south of Western Australia, more than [-] kilometers away from Perth. The ancestors of the Bruce brothers took root here as early as the beginning of the last century, and until today, many members of their family still live there.Because Malzate is located in the southern part of Western Australia, it is far away from Asia, America and Africa. Although it also has rich mineral resources, there is no perfect logistics system in the local area, especially the lack of large ports. The cost of shipping by sea is also higher than the mining area in the northern part of Western Australia, so no one cares about it so far.

"Mr. Fang, I would like to ask, how did you arrange these few days? If you are lucky, can our brothers invite you to our hometown of Malzate?" Representative Bruce said, "There is also a beautiful scenery there. , rich mineral resources and agricultural and animal husbandry products. I believe it will make your trip worthwhile.”

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Although I feel very honored to be invited by you, Congressman, but in the near future, I will receive a few friends from Brazil, so I can only regret to say...Look, there are If there is time, I will gladly accept your invitation from the Congressman." The Bruce Brothers are still very important for the Fang family to develop in Western Australia. personal relationship, but also has a huge social influence.Bruce Jr. was an important official who could not be ignored by any company that wanted to develop mineral resources in Western Australia. Fang Mingyuan naturally had to give some face to the invitation of the two of them.

Congressman Bruce's heart, which had been sinking because Fang Mingyuan said that he would receive friends from Brazil, immediately became active again. Fang Mingyuan agreed to his invitation. Regardless of whether Malzat could be favored by him in the end, at least the relationship between the two parties could be fine. go one step further.It is undoubtedly the best thing for a politician to have a strong ally.

Fang Mingyuan took a few steps forward, stood on the top of the mountain, and looked down at the earth. Looking east, south, and north, the land that he could see belonged to Haiping Mining Company. On the other hand, a road continued to extend outward. Fang Mingyuan knew that fifteen kilometers away in that direction was the starting point of the iron ore railway!

Continue along the railway to the west and north, and you can reach the port of Kurisbane. After the completion of the first phase of the expansion project, it can already export 700 million tons of iron ore per year. The second phase of the expansion project is currently continuing. If everything goes well If so, by the end of 500, it will be completed, and then Kurisban Port will be able to export more than 2000 million tons of iron ore per year!And when the third phase of the project after [-] is completed, the annual export of iron ore will exceed [-] million tons!

Although this number accounts for less than 1% of Western Australia's record of exporting more than 20.00 million tons of iron ore to China in the next year, but with the addition of iron ore from Brazil, its own iron ore After all, it has some say in the international pricing power.As for whether to continue to expand the Fang family's voice in the international iron ore market, Fang Mingyuan has not yet figured it out.

Compared with the three major mining companies, the foundation of the Fang family in the iron ore production industry is shallow after all, and it lacks strong domestic support. The status does not pose a real threat, and the three major mining companies are too busy to ensure profitability at this time, and once the price of iron ore in the international market starts to rise, the pressure on the profitability of the three major mining companies will ease, I am afraid that they will have to free up their hands at that time Clean up yourself - how can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch! There is no difference between ancient and modern China and foreign countries!

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan does not agree with the Great Leap Forward development of the domestic steel industry. In the future, due to the severe overcapacity of most enterprises in the Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry, the profit of one ton of steel has been reduced to a shameful level, but it consumes a huge amount of energy. , Mineral resources, handed over considerable wealth to the three major mining companies, but left serious environmental pollution to the country.Therefore, how to ensure the orderly development of the domestic steel industry is also a very important matter.

If this can be achieved, then the situation of Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry importing a large amount of iron ore in the previous life should be alleviated, so will the iron ore still rise in reverse? (To be continued..)
