Chapter 2224 A New Beginning
Australia in September is still the season just after their winter.
Although it was not too cold at this time, because the western region was vast and sparsely populated, Yin Jun and Ye Linqinwa still brought thick coats.
Facts have proved that this is the right decision.
As soon as we got off the bus at the port area, a strong wind blew over, almost knocking Ye Linqinwa down.
Holding her hand, the boy and Yelinqinwa entered the nearby headquarters of Qilin Mining Company.
Waiting here are Weili, the general manager of Qilin Mining Company, and Charles, the mayor of Wickham Town.
Charles is particularly enthusiastic about Yin Jun.
He only managed two to three hundred people before, but when Wickham began to build the harbor and expanded it into a harbor where large transport ships with tens of thousands of tons could enter and exit smoothly, the place underwent earth-shaking changes.
Infrastructure construction is only one aspect. From his point of view, not only the young people who went to the city to find jobs have returned, but the nearby villages and towns dozens of kilometers away have simply given up their original territory and moved here.
Now in the small town, not only the town hall has been expanded, but the police station has also been expanded. Everything has been expanded.
After tens of thousands of Wankang Company workers and their families came here, Charles was still the mayor here, but his power had been greatly increased, and he also had so many job opportunities. Of course, many people wanted to please him.
What Charles was most happy about was not that his power had increased, but that Wickham had finally ushered in his own era.
As long as the Kirin Mining Company's iron ore is not completely mined, Wickham will definitely be one of the largest ports in the northwest, and may even surpass Port Hedland to become the number one port in the future.
So when Qilin Mining Company discovered two more super-large iron ores in succession, he was almost more happy than Weilidu.
Charles even felt that ten or eight more would be better.
Because in this way, Wickham's prosperity can be guaranteed for two to three hundred years.
If he can fulfill his wish, he, the mayor, will have the honor to meet those ancestors when he goes to heaven.
Yin Jun is now his biggest source of confidence to fulfill his wish. Why do you think he is not enthusiastic about Yin Jun?
Even when Wankang Company settled here, opened a ranch and came to work, Charles actively helped. Isn't this just for Yin Jun's sake?
Similarly, Yin Jun also admired the mayor.
There are not many smart people in Western Australia, but Charles, a man in his forties or fifties, is very open-minded and has a good vision.
Without his active cooperation, it would not be easy for Qilin Mining Company to gain a foothold here.
As long as you give Qilin Mining Company another three to five years and wait until its influence is fully realized, then it won't matter even if Charles no longer stays as the mayor.
Of course, the longer Charles serves as mayor, the happier Yin Jun will be. His prestige here is still very beneficial to stabilizing the situation in this place.
"Mr. Yin, I heard that starting from the second half of next year, we will prepare for a production and transportation scale of 100 million tons per year." While several people were standing by the window watching the busy port, Charles asked Yin Jun, "Qilin Mining Is the company so impatient? Will it consume too much resources? You know, among the world's three largest iron ore groups, Brazil's Vale has the largest combined annual output, only less than 80 million tons."
"Don't worry, Mr. Charles." Yin Jun said with a smile, "Now the economic center of the world is in Asia, in Japan and South Korea. And when China develops, their demand will become more and more The iron ore we produce will definitely not be wasted.”
After a pause, the young man continued, "As for the problem of resource depletion that you are worried about, it should not exist within a hundred years."
"One hundred years?" Charles was a little greedy, "Is it too short?"
"Haha, you think so highly of me. The three iron mines today are only enough for about 50 years." Yin Jun said, "Even if we count the iron ores with more than 50%, I still have to find another one. It is a very arduous task to come out of the 3 billion tons of iron ore mining area."
"You are so smart and so lucky, you will definitely succeed." Charles said flatteringly.
"But, you don't have to worry." Yin Jun said, "You know that I have started to apply for the exploration and extraction of natural gas resources in the nearby waters, right? Once this natural gas field is detected, we will also use Wickham Port as a turnover , thus sending liquefied natural gas to Asia. Then it will be a good time for decades again!"
"That's good, that's good." Charles rubbed his hands and smiled: "I will definitely provide you with the best logistical services. In the days to come, it will be a win-win situation for both Kirin Group and Wickham Town!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I also wish your place to become a prosperous and prosperous small city as soon as possible." Yin Jun nodded.
The first batch of iron ore is now being loaded onto the ship, and there are many things that need to be busy. After Charles said a few more words and invited Yin Jun to his home for a dinner, he left full of energy.
Wei Li was left alone with Yin Jun, and he was still a little nervous.
Because of this sudden railway cross-border problem, he was very embarrassed and spent a lot of effort to solve it, which made the start of this iron ore project not smooth at all.
He didn't even dare to think about how Yin Jun would consider his ability to do things.
But unexpectedly, when he told the story in detail again, Yin Jun nodded, "According to what you said, they were still the natives who wanted to get a share of the pie on this line, so they broke the agreement. Hello?"
"Of course it is." Wei Li said sternly, "We must not back down from this, otherwise so many areas along the way will come to make things difficult for us in the future? We only earn such a small amount, so don't let them blackmail you. , how about that?”
Yin Jun knew that he was able to successfully resolve the matter this time, on the one hand, with the full support of Wickham Town, and on the other hand, Shen Ben's strong support in Perth, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy more than a dozen gangsters. , and the heads of various departments jointly put pressure on the executive agency here, which made the other side shrink under the pressure.
What they want is actually about 10 million U.S. dollars in profits, but in order to stop their behavior, Qilin Mining Company has spent more than 20 million U.S. dollars.
Yin Jun strongly agreed with Shen Ben and Wei Li's approach.
This kind of blackmail cannot be accepted at any time, otherwise there will be no end to it in the future.
Only by being tough at the beginning and using strong strength to suppress these greedy people can we have a peaceful environment.
This is because Qilin Mining Company has not yet begun to pay various taxes and fees, and has not promoted business in Western Australia.
Once it starts transporting hundreds of millions of tons of iron ore to the sea every year and brings a lot of benefits to Western Australia, whoever embarrasses the Qilin Mining Company will embarrass the interests of the entire Western Australia and will definitely be suppressed by the coalition. .
"Except for the fact that you took this matter lightly, I'm very satisfied with the rest." Yin Jun said thoughtfully, "We have to work harder on iron ore detection. After all, the future may not be as good as the previous one. , it may take ten to eight years before another mining area is created.”
"Yes, I understand." Wei Li nodded.
He knew that Yin Jun was not panicking, because the current three iron mines, plus some lower-quality ores, were enough for Qilin Mining Company to dig for 60 years. This is more than the reserves of any mining company in the world. is very sufficient.
"In addition, you have to work harder in the natural gas fields and take on the responsibility." Yin Jun said, "But this is more complicated, and you still need to listen more to the opinions of the professional team."
"good!"
A bright smile appeared on Weili's face.
Yin Jun has more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in preliminary preparations for natural gas fields. If necessary, there is no problem in investing another 2 billion U.S. dollars in it.
Having such a large amount of money in his hands is definitely a huge jump in power.
In Kirin Group, he actually holds the position of vice president.
Once a natural gas field is successfully detected, promotion and salary increase are guaranteed.
Thinking that I am already in my forties or fifties and can reach another peak in my career, it is really something that I never thought of before!
In Wei Li's imagination, Yin Jun asked: "By the way, Li Chaoren and the others will arrive tomorrow. Are you ready for your work?"
"Get ready. The fleet you came over, plus some vehicles used on the construction site, will arrive at the airport tomorrow, and the accommodation here is also ready." Weili said quickly: "There are also the company's accounts. I have detailed records of our affairs, company plans, company development, etc., which can be consulted by them at any time.”
The young man nodded.
Although Li Chaoren and the others did not come here to check the accounts, they must still see what should be there.
However, this is also the information about the first Christmas Creek Mining Area, and the future Duanyun District 1 and Duanyun District 2 will have nothing to do with them.
…
On the morning of the third day, on the Wickham Pier, Yin Jun, Li Chaoren and the others cut the rope hanging the champagne short. The champagne directly hit the hull and broke, and the cheers from the surrounding area also rang out. surrounding sky.
Six large transport ships, carrying loads of iron ore, sailed to the north.
The export of iron ore to the sea also means that Yin Jun’s iron ore strategy in Western Australia, which has been laid out for more than 6 years, has officially entered a new production stage.
Watching the iron ore ship carrying hope heading north, Yin Jun saw in a daze that twenty years later, mainland China would also have the strength to purchase so much iron ore and start various construction projects of its own. situation.
I believe that when that day comes, I will be even more excited!
But this is just the beginning. There will be more things in the future, which are worthy of Yin Jun's hard work and persistence in making his due contribution.
The people of this country have been suffering for a long time, and it’s time to rise up!
…
With this thought in mind, the young man took his own private plane and returned all the way to Xiangjiang.
But unexpectedly, when Yin Jun got off the plane and was about to take the car out, he saw Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia standing in front of the car hand in hand.
"What's wrong?" Yin Jun was suddenly startled.
They are not so active on weekdays. Is this something wrong?
The two women didn't answer, but a bright smile suddenly appeared on their faces, and they flew into Yin Jun's arms.
"Brother Jun, congratulations, you are going to be the father of two little babies again~~"
Classmates Guan Jiahui and Wen Bixia happily reported the good news in Yin Jun's ears.
Yin Jun's first reaction was to hug the two girls back tightly, wishing he could scream loudly to express the joy in his heart.
At this moment, the appearance of the two little girls 8 years ago overlapped with the appearance of the smiling and beautiful woman now.
I couldn't be happier to be at this point in my life!
