Chapter 344 I Want Immigrant Workers to Mine (Third!)

Australia is an extremely large country with an area of ​​about 7.7 million square kilometers.

Although a large area is an uninhabitable desert area, because the land area is too large, Australia can feed more than 300 million people with only the west coast, east coast and other areas, which is definitely not what experts say It is said that Australia's natural resources are extremely poor and can only support about 50 million people.

Of course, Australia's population is not large. Before 2000, it didn't even reach 20 million people, which is a typical country with a large land area and a sparse population.

What attracts the most attention in Australia at present and in the future is naturally their ore resources.

In fact, the most powerful thing in Australia is bauxite resources, which account for about 35% of the world's total known reserves, followed by iron ore.

The iron ore exported by Australia is the second largest in the world after Brazil, but Brazil is too far away from China, so we usually buy Australian iron ore.

The iron ores in Brazil and Australia are of very high quality, basically 60% or 70%, and those with a content of less than 50% are unwilling to mine, as they despise too much effort.

This makes Huaguo, which has an average iron ore quality of about 30%, how embarrassing it is!

It is also for this reason that the steel mills in Huaguo are of course willing to buy Australian iron ore instead of buying those inferior iron ores of different quality in China.

Especially after the 1990s, Huaguo needed a large amount of steel for large-scale construction and development of industry, transportation, housing, manufacturing, etc., and naturally the demand for iron ore soared.

After 2003, Huaguo was basically the world's largest importer of iron ore.

It is a pity that Huaguo is the largest demander of iron ore, but it has no say in the price of iron ore at all.

The world's three major iron ore groups have joined forces to target China's iron ore imports. The price is set by them, and we can only accept it passively, resulting in excessively high costs. It is better in China, but not at all abroad. Not competitive.

Among these conspiracies against China, of course, there are also Japanese figures.

The Japanese began to deploy in Australia, Brazil and other countries as early as the 1960s, actively participating in the affairs of the Great Iron Ore Group, spending a lot of money to buy shares, and thus controlling a certain amount of iron ore pricing power.

Through the control of iron ore and the control of steel refining technology, Japan even indirectly controlled several super large steel groups in Huaguo. When it was revealed, the whole country was shocked.

Regarding the powerlessness of the iron ore price, the people of Huaguo actually did not think of a way.

For example, Huaxin Pacific gritted its teeth and spent a huge sum of money to purchase magnetite in Preston, Western Australia in 2006. There are 2 billion tons of magnetite resources here, which are very rich.

Huaxin Pacific originally thought it was a big profit, but then the nightmare began.

It was originally expected to cost 4.2 billion U.S. dollars and start production within three years.

But I didn't expect that the first batch of iron ore was shipped back to China in 2013. The entire development cycle was as long as 7 years, and the investment has exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

The most frustrating thing is not the issue of money and time.

But because of the financial crisis, the price of iron ore plummeted, and it was a super plummet. The price was less than half of what it was before, only about 40%! Moreover, the price continued to fall, and in the end it couldn't even reach one-third of it!

Huaxin Pacific, who originally thought that after the production of iron ore, it would be able to satisfy its own factory and make a lot of money, was simply stupid.

After working hard to dig the earth for seven or eight years in Australia, but ended up like this in the end, Huaxin Pacific really has the heart of a Japanese dog.

When Yin Jun saw this report, he went to deeply understand the whole story.

Wall Street and other foreign media ridiculed Huaxin Pacific like shit, and the domestic people also laughed at them as idiots, but in fact things are far from as simple as imagined.

The biggest mistake of Huaxin Pacific is that they entered the Australian iron ore field too late.

If it is even five years in advance, they will not encounter much loss.

If it is ten years earlier, it is definitely the rhythm of making money.

If it was twenty years earlier...

The output and strength of Huaguo's steel production will definitely go up two steps. How can the three major iron ore manufacturers dare to force Huaguo people to buy high-priced iron ore?

Hindsight, bloated and sluggish state-owned system and other factors have created Huaxin Pacific's purchase of iron ore minerals, which has obvious congenital deficiencies.

Next, there is the haste and irregularity of Huaxin Pacific in the whole preliminary preparation, supporting construction, mining, etc.

How did they come to the conclusion that they planned to start production for three years?

It is ridiculous that the inference is actually based on the development of domestic mines.

This decision was taken for granted without any on-site inspection or detailed discussion of Australia's customs, legal culture, etc.

Is it difficult to entrust a foreign consulting company to do a detailed investigation and learn more about a large investment project worth billions of dollars for a research and consulting fee of one to two million or two to three million dollars?

Now it's all right, when you want to build minerals, various departments in Australia will come up to trouble you.

How should your mine be built, which equipment cannot be used, what protection needs to be provided for the workers, and what supporting facilities should be added because of this... A series of orders and regulations directly stunned Huaxin Pacific and made Their production and construction plans have been delayed again and again.

Then there's the issue of workers.

Huaxin Pacific actually naively thought that he would bring workers from Huaguo to do all the mining development and production.

They thought, Huaguo workers are good, they are obedient and capable, the price is cheap, they never complain, and they are their own people, so they can be trusted.

But this idea was directly rejected by the Australian government.

To build a factory in Australia, we must use Australians as much as possible, and locals as much as possible!

Only Chinese workers who are proficient in English and can communicate with Australian workers without barriers can be issued visas to come and work.

and!

And all the salaries and benefits of these Chinese workers must be the same as those of Australian workers, and cheap employment is not allowed!

Can you imagine the expression of the management of Huaxin Pacific when encountering such a request?

Of course we cannot sympathize with them.

They take it for granted that they are used to doing this kind of thing in China, and because it is a large state-owned group, no one cares about them anyway.

But when you come to a foreign country, one size is one size. If the law stipulates that you can't do it, you just can't do it!

And how stupid they are, even if you want to use workers from Huaguo, you won't communicate with them before buying the minerals, saying how I will develop it and how much tax I have to pay, so I need some necessary assistance People come to work, how do you think of a way to fix it?

In this way, even if more Huaguo workers cannot be recruited, it should be possible to recruit more workers.

But you paid all the money, and you are destined to develop here, so you just say these words, what's the use of it?

If people don't agree, you can still pat your ass and leave?

So I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

As a result, Huaxin Pacific's nightmare came again.

Those Australian workers not only have to work for three weeks and have to rest for one week, but also require you to reimburse the round-trip air ticket and fare. The most important thing is that they don't work overtime! Don't work overtime! !

Seeing that Australian workers leave as soon as the time is up, regardless of whether the work is done well or not, will the provincial civil affairs committee be harmed if they stop halfway through the work... The managers of Huaxin Pacific have the heart to kill them.

Workers like this are actually clamoring for a large amount of bonuses every quarter and every year, which is even more disgusting as if they ate flies.

I have worked hard for five or six years, and I have invested all of it without earning a penny. Nima still wants a bonus?

But there is no way. People pay bonuses based on their work. Whether you make money or not has nothing to do with them. If you don’t pay them, they can go to the government. help you?

So it was like this, and due to various reasons, it caused a huge loss for Huaxin Pacific's magnetite mine in Western Australia.

As the saying goes, a lesson from the past is a guide to the future.

Just because Yin Jun knew about Huaxin Pacific's nonsense, when he wanted to do iron ore business in his life, he thought of planning in advance.

yes.

Building an iron mine requires an investment of billions or tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Now Yin Jun has assets of at most one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars, which is simply a drop in the bucket and does not work at all.

But that doesn't mean I can't make some preparations in advance.

For example, when I was in real estate, wouldn’t the workers on the construction site be able to go to Australia in various ways of skilled immigration?

I continue to introduce hardworking, honest and reliable workers from the mainland, let them work hard on the construction site, improve their skills, and wait for the opportunity to emigrate.

When the time comes, thousands of people will emigrate every year.

After three to five years, when I have money here and can buy mines, I will call three to five thousand of them to work there. Can the Australian government say nothing?

They are residents of Australia!

Although it may not be able to catch up with becoming a national, do you dare to say that residents do not enjoy the same right to employment and work?

What's more, by April next year, the British government will issue a white paper listing the revisions the government plans to carry out to reform the nationality law, among which are targeted at Xiangjiang residents.

In order to obtain the resident status of the Commonwealth, or nationality, since then, Xiangjiang has ushered in an upsurge of immigrants.

Especially during the two or three years when Huaying negotiated the ownership of Xiangjiang, immigration reached a peak.

At that time, Australia and Canada sent special personnel to snatch the middle-class immigrants from Xiangjiang to them to enrich their national numbers and contribute more to Australia's economy.

Yin Jun took advantage of this time period to fish in troubled waters, which was much less difficult than usual.

Australian natives have always been lazy, so there are so many people who can work for them, so why not smile crookedly?

When the time comes to the iron mining site, Yin Jun will use his own people to do the work, which will be much better than using these lazy Australians.

Salary Yin Jun will naturally not treat them badly, but in terms of overtime work and seriousness of work, it is not at the same level at all.

One is worth three Australian workers, that's a frivolous thing!

You know, even the Japanese have to admire the hard work and willingness of Chinese workers!

Saving costs is only one aspect, not enough to affect the overall situation.

The most important thing is that Yin Jun knows the distribution of iron ore in Australia!

The Japanese, Americans and the three major iron ore giants thought they had already occupied all the iron ore mines in Western Australia, but they did not know that compared with the iron ore mine area in 2008, it is now discovered and utilized The iron ore area of ​​China is less than one-third of that at that time!

There are still a large number of super large and super good iron ore areas that have not been discovered!

It just so happened that Yin Jun knew the general situation in these places.

At that time, Yin Jun will be able to find a super large iron mine in a few years time by casting a wide net to catch fish!

As long as he can ship back ship after ship of high-quality iron ore when he starts to develop in the mainland of China, Yin Jun is still afraid that those bigwigs will not support him in the entertainment and cultural industry in the mainland?

What radio and television bureaus, cultural supervision departments, under the premise of national development, all have to give way!

As long as they set up obstacles for others while not setting up obstacles for themselves, on the entire 9.6 million square kilometers of land, Yin Jun can play around and make a fortune by himself!

Besides, as far as iron ore itself is concerned, in the next 30 years or so, it will all go up all the way, and it will almost exist in the existence of no-cost business, which can also bring a lot of wealth to Yin Jun!

Whether a person has money or not is not the most important thing.

There are more people with two or three houses in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. What social status do you think they can have?

Isn't it just a little money, nothing special at all!

The most important thing is to have enough confidence and support.

With these super large iron mines that can be continuously mined for more than a hundred years, Yin Jun has the capital to stand up. No matter how turbulent and setbacks are in other areas, his basic foundation is still there.

As long as human beings continue to develop, there must be a steel industry!

You said that Yin Jun, who holds the very beginning of the steel industry, is already invincible?

It is for this reason that Yin Jun is sure to do a good job in the iron ore industry.

Recruiting more honest, reliable and hard-working workers is only the first step of his grand plan.

Even Yin Jun, who likes to eat alone, is not prepared to do such a big thing alone.

He is going to pull a group of wealthy people from Xiangjiang onto the boat together and form a powerful offensive and defensive alliance.

Although a lot of benefits will be given out because of this, the help these rich people have brought to Yin Jun is extremely huge.

At that time, even if the Australian government wants to do something with jealousy, what they are facing is not Yin Jun alone, but the entire super rich group in Xiangjiang, then the pressure on the Australian government will be great.

For example, the power of the Dong family, the Bao family, and the Xu family in shipping, let alone which company, which country can match it?

In addition to Bao Yugang, who is very popular in the UK, and Li Chaoren's influence in the UK, after he became famous, he donated tens of millions of pounds every year, which is not for nothing!

In addition, Kadoorie, a rich man of Jewish origin, if you want to use his interests, then the Jewish rich men will ask you, do you want to fight against us Jews? If so, you are doing right with Wall Street! Come on, I greatly appreciate your courage!

It is conceivable that such a powerful offensive and defensive alliance can completely help Yin Jun gain a firm foothold in Australia and develop his own iron ore industry step by step.

With such help in hand, it is only natural to share some benefits.

After all, Yin Jun can get more because of this!

Otherwise, do you think that with Yin Jun's strength alone, he can keep so many iron ore fields worth hundreds of billions, or even trillions of tons?

Do not make jokes!

The world is never a stand-alone game for one person!
