Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 469 Western Australia

Singapore, this country does not give Ling Shaonan a good impression, or very bad, Singaporeans, or the leaders of Singapore, those typical Straits Chinese are even ashamed of their own blood and face. In Ling Shaonan's eyes, they It is simply synonymous with the idiom "number of classics and forgetting one's ancestors".

Not to mention far away, just talk about the anti-Chinese incident in Indonesia a few months ago. At that time, many Indonesian Chinese moved their capital abroad. The funds transferred out in the past few months alone amounted to about 800 billion U.S. dollars.However, although the funds have been removed, many people’s businesses are still in Indonesia. It doesn’t mean that they can move away, so many people choose to make their homes in Singapore, which is not far from Indonesia. Individuals still fly back to Indonesia every week to manage their business. .

At that time, Lee Kuan Yew was not right about this wave of immigration, and he stood up very generously and declared that he hoped that Singapore would become a safe haven for Indonesian Chinese.However, this kind of help is not free. For Indonesian Chinese who come to settle down in the new home, his offer is 100 million Singapore dollars in cash, about 70 U.S. dollars for a green card, regardless of age.It is worth noting that this money is not an investment, but a ticket.

For this kind of person who made his fortune by relying on other people's disasters, Ling Shaonan was a little ashamed. Maybe he would do the same thing, but he would definitely not use it on his compatriots.

However, the conflict between Singapore Port Group and Zhongnan Shipping has so far been limited to the scope of normal commercial competition. Although Ling Shaonan is strong, he will not be so overbearing that he will use his own force to force others to submit.Therefore, after receiving the report from Wei Shaoming and Li Yunqing, he just smiled lightly and didn't pay too much attention to it. With the Singaporean's behavior style, similar things will happen in the future, when they touch their bottom line Clean up together again, now let these clowns dance around for a while longer.

After the two piers were bought, Ling Shaonan once again played his hands-off shopkeeper's work style, and left all subsequent integration management matters, as well as contacting with the Li family and discussing the acquisition of Asia Satellite Company, to Wei Shaoming and Li Yunqing. To do it, he believed that the two of them could handle these things well, and he set off for Jakarta himself. A few months have passed, and the groups formed in Indonesia have passed the initial chaotic stage. It's on the right track, and it's time to make big strides forward. No matter what, he, the big boss, has to go and see it in person to boost people's morale.

Before leaving Hong Kong, Wei Shaoming also told Ling Shaonan two things in private.First, in the process of fighting the flood, although the disciples of the Jiwu Dojo were not injured due to their strength, three ordinary employees of the Zhongshan Security Company were swept away by the flood, and it took a lot of effort to retrieve their remains.After the sacrifice of the three people, Wei Shaoming personally took people to the homes of the three people and settled their parents and family members properly. Although they cannot be brought back to life after death, at least they cannot be allowed to die in peace.

Ling Shaonan couldn't help but feel sorry for this incident. He brought these employees there, but he didn't bring all of them back intact. In a sense, this was his own responsibility.Although he was unable to attend the funerals of these three employees himself, Ling Shaonan had already made a decision to visit their graves after returning to China.

The second matter is related to the state of Wei.In the past two years, the old man has often traveled to poor areas in the Midwest, and has seen too many poor lives. While building schools and orphanages, repairing bridges and roads for poor areas, he came up with an idea. He wanted to build some low-cost and even The free hospital solves some difficulties for those who have no money to see a doctor.

After careful consideration for a long time, and after analyzing the pros and cons of this matter, Ling Shaonan rejected this proposal, not because he could not afford the money to build the hospital, nor because he had no sympathy, but because the matter involved The scope is too big, so big that even he has to be cautious.

Hospitals are easy to build, but where do medical staff come from?Experienced doctors may not be willing to come, and inexperienced medical students will not be of great use for the time being.Not to mention these, given them a period of time, they will grow up. The most important issue is that the interests involved in hospitals are too complicated. Government departments such as the Ministry of Health, major pharmaceutical manufacturers, and distribution of medicines and medical equipment Shang, and the huge interest relationship formed by their mutual involvement, these are beyond Ling Shaonan's touch, maybe he will get involved instead of doing a good thing, at least Ling Shaonan has not yet broken all the obstacles.

Ling Shaonan is very willing to do something for the poor citizens, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, he cannot put himself in it.After all, as long as he doesn't fail, there will still be many opportunities to do things in the future, but if he fails, there will be no hope.

In Jakarta, Ling Shaonan stayed for more than half a month, inspected all the industries, and made plans for their future development.Originally, he also planned to go to Australia. First, because the Australian government will introduce a new policy after a while, prohibiting the sale of uninhabited islands. Ling Shaonan intends to take this last train and sell all the The next islands are all received in his arms; the second is because he has taken a fancy to the iron mines in Western Australia. As far as he knows, there are still several high-grade iron mines with large reserves in Western Australia that have not been discovered. In the bag, it will be too late when others find out.

Speaking of which, the country of Australia is really unique. Every state has iron mines, and the state with the most iron mines is Western Australia.

Western Australia has more than 6000% of all discovered iron ore resources in Australia, mainly concentrated in the Pilbara region.There are thirteen mines in the area, six of which are operated by Rio Tinto's subsidiary Hamersley in Western Australia. The prospecting area is about [-] square kilometers. The company, also known as BHP Billiton, operates a prospecting area of ​​approximately [-] square kilometers.In addition, there are also iron mines near Coolie Yangnabin and White Parrot Island in Western Australia.

The piece of iron ore that Ling Shaonan was interested in was located in the Pilbara area, just in the middle of the mines of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.The reason why it has not been discovered is because the population of this area of ​​Western Australia is too small, and most of it is no-man's land, and no one has comprehensively surveyed it.

The reason why Ling Shaonan knew there were iron mines was because of a report a few years later that an Australian farmer drove his private plane out, but the navigation equipment was interfered, and the plane ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing. A place that no one has ever been to, and it was discovered on the ground that there are high-grade ores exposed on the ground everywhere, with an iron content as high as 69.74%. Calculated according to the main component of hematite, ferric oxide, the impurity content is even 0.4. % is not enough!

These rich ores with extremely high grades and huge reserves are not inferior to Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton's mines, and the difficulty of mining is so low that they can be mined almost as long as mining machines are transported there. Ling Shaonan has no reason to let them go.

In addition, now is the best time to enter Western Australia. The biggest attraction of Western Australia is that it has a vast land and few people. Not high, the government's main focus of making money is on the tax revenue after the mining area is developed, and the entry threshold is not high.

As far as Australia is concerned, the southeastern coastal area is the densely populated area. As for the western area, it is basically a wild area. If it is not because of the discovery of large iron mines here, it is estimated that no one will come here to settle.

In this case, there are only two main difficulties in setting up a mine in Western Australia, one is the problem of workers, and the other is the problem of transportation.Regarding the worker issue, according to the situation in Australia, it is difficult to recruit local people, and a large number of people must be recruited from other places, but this is not a problem. There are many laid-off workers in China, as many as several hundred Of course, skilled workers who have experience in relevant positions are also recruited, which is not a problem at all. Even if most people in China cannot leave their homeland and are unwilling to go to Australia thousands of miles away, isn’t there Indonesia nearby?Although Indonesian monkeys are lazy by nature, as long as they are well disciplined, they can still be good laborers.

As for transportation, it is not difficult to solve. There are two ways. One is to negotiate with Rio Tinto or BHP Billiton to build a short-distance railway to connect to their transportation line, and transport it to the seaside for shipment. The advantage of this is that it can be put into production as soon as possible. The disadvantage is that The transportation line is in the hands of others and cannot be completely independent, which will inevitably cause some troubles in the future; and the second method is to simply build the entire railway by itself. Although it will be slower, it can completely hold the autonomy in its own hands.

From Ling Shaonan's point of view, he tends to build railways by himself, and it is not his habit to entrust his fate to others.Moreover, he also knows that there are still several years before the international iron ore price rises, and there is no benefit in starting production early. Besides, it is really not expensive to build a freight railway in the desert of Western Australia, 100 million US dollars per kilometer The construction cost is less than that, and it doesn't cost much in total. Even if you add up all the other expenses needed to open the mine, one billion US dollars is more than enough, and Ling Shaonan can still afford it.

It's just that he didn't plan to do these things himself, but handed them over to Kenny Johnson, the president of Huanya Mining Group, because he was too lazy to do everything himself, and secondly, Johnson, a Westerner, was still dealing with Australians. It's more appropriate, I've been too popular recently, it's not good to be taken as the top bird by others.
