Chapter 827 Exposed

Yang Dongsheng called up the three-dimensional map, and had a panoramic view of the Pilbara area under Hancock Exploration Company.

He found that there were more iron-rich ore deposits in Australia than expected.

Almost half of the land in the Pilbara is covered with a thick layer of rich iron ore, with a grade of about 50%, which is considered lean ore.

This is also a routine operation!

Oil sellers will ask geological experts to say that there is only enough oil on the earth for 50 to [-] years, so that the price of oil can be maintained at a high level.

Those who sell houses will ask economists to tell them that house prices have bottomed out, and only people will buy houses if the house prices in 48 cities are less than [-].

With the current population of the earth, there is actually no shortage of natural resources, food, and housing.

The shortage is just a means of making profits artificially.

"What's the reaction from all sides?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"Before I came, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Pohang Steel, Nippon Steel, Shanghai Iron and Steel Corporation, and Taiwan Iron and Steel Corporation all expressed that they wanted to cooperate with us to develop the remaining mines in the Pilbara region." James Whistler road.

Although iron ore is not as profitable as in the previous life, it can still generate fixed profits.

In this world, what business is more comfortable than lying down and selling resources?
What's more, steel is still an important industry in East Asia.

Ensuring a stable supply of iron ore is more important than profit!
"Is Posco interested?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"According to the information we got, Posco invested in an iron ore project in India in 2005, and the current progress is not going well. They are very urgent to get a stable supply of iron ore!" James Whistler said.

China can still produce some iron ore, and the iron ore of South Korean steel plants is completely dependent on imports!
"Find a way to draw the Koreans into the game, and let them get trapped as deeply as possible!"

The Pilbara region is generally several hundred kilometers from the coast.

If you want to develop, you have to invest real money in building railways, ports, and purchasing equipment.

The homogenization of industries in East Asia is very serious. Once the Japanese brain drains, South Korea and Taiwan will become potential competitors of Yang Dongsheng.

Fortunately, Taiwan said that once an economic crisis occurs, those companies in Taiwan will be too busy to take care of themselves, and they will even become the target of Yang Dongsheng's poaching.

His biggest competitor is actually South Korea.

In the X regime on Taiwan Island, none of them seriously wanted to improve the economy.

But South Korea is different. During the economic crisis, the South Korean government will definitely provide assistance to its domestic consortiums.

After the Asian financial crisis, the major shareholders behind the Korean conglomerate became Americans again.

Although iron ore cannot directly pull Samsung, Hyundai, and LG into the water.

However, the South Korean government has limited funds, so POSCO will use more, while Samsung, Hyundai, and LG will use less.

As for how it will end in the future?It's very simple, let the environmental protection organization play directly, block the railway, block the mine... They are already very familiar with this trick!

Anyway, Yang Dongsheng never planned to continue to develop the Pilbara iron mine and contribute taxes to the Australian government.

"How is the operation of the enterprises on the Grain Coast?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"Mines, ports, and steel plants are operating very well. Africa's industry and infrastructure are so backward that we are almost in a dry land and have turned on the tap. Now we are facing two problems. First, the port On the one hand, it is expected to reach 400 million TEU this year, and the designed annual throughput of our port is 500 million TEU, and I want to expand the port!" James Whistler said.

"After the economic crisis, the world's trade will go backwards. The problem of expansion will be postponed for two years. Building after the outbreak of the economic crisis can save a lot of money. After the completion, it will also be able to catch up with the economic recovery! Let's talk about the second question!" Yang Dongsheng asked .

"Second, our labor force is insufficient!"

The Grain Coast was originally sparsely populated, with an area slightly larger than Suzhou Province, but its population was only around 300 million, which was less than one-third of the population of Guazhou.

after the last Ebola outbreak.

Ordinary people die, run away!

The total population of the current Grain Coast is estimated to be less than 50.

This also includes 10,000+ Russian and Ukrainian workers and their families, as well as Freddy Krueger's mercenary team.

It is far from enough for a country to have heavy industry. Among other things, these workers and mercenaries need food, leisure, and entertainment.

People who come to the Grain Coast to buy steel can live in hotels, and the hotels need waiters.

Garbage on the street also needs to be cleaned.

For Africa, there has never been a shortage of labor.

Several countries around the Grain Coast have a large number of surplus labor force, and they are also willing to work on the Grain Coast.

But now the Ebola virus has appeared in these countries again, and Freddy Krueger has sent people to seal the border.

"We can introduce foreign labor, but we only need qualified labor!" Yang Dongsheng said.

South Africa is a lesson from the past. After the complete liberalization, the economy regressed and the law and order deteriorated.

A developed country has regressed back to a developing country.

"The other thing is that nationality cannot be given casually!" Yang Dongsheng added.

"Understood!" James Whistler said.

Yang Dongsheng glanced at James Whistler, "How is the popularization of education in West Africa?"

James Whistler shook his head and said, "Very bad! Although many countries have education laws and primary education is compulsory, the enrollment rate of primary schools is generally only about 30%, the enrollment rate of middle schools is only 10%, and the enrollment rate of universities is only 1%. %! Even if the educated population is so small, it is difficult to find a job after graduation, and there is simply no corresponding job there!"

This is not difficult to understand. The university admission rate in our country is less than 50%, and there is already a serious surplus of college students.

Even for many majors, such as mathematics, physics, and biopharmaceuticals, graduation means unemployment.

The admission rate of universities in Europe and the United States is generally above 60%, and they also attract a large number of international students, but there is no such a serious surplus as ours.

Depending on the stage of economic development, the demand for highly educated talents naturally varies in thousands of ways.

The Grain Coast is now one of the few industrial countries in Africa!
Yang Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "Then find some middle school to university test questions from Europe and the United States and let them take the test. Those who pass the university graduation test can become citizens of the Grain Coast and bring three family members to naturalize the Grain Coast; Those who take the secondary school graduation exam can also become citizens of the Grain Coast and bring a family member for naturalization!"

The blacks with super physical fitness in the United States have been screened out by using cruel manual labor as the standard for hundreds of years.

The Grain Coast uses intelligence as the standard, and it should not be a problem to screen out millions of people with higher IQs and higher education levels from the billions of people in Africa.

"Just take math, physics, chemistry and other science and engineering courses!" Yang Dongsheng emphasized.

Forget about history and geography, the history written by the British can describe the Opium War as helping China to fight drugs.

Shameless!
James Whistler nodded, hesitated for a while and said, "There is another problem. Our intention to sell short seems to have been exposed!"
