Chapter 936: A Profitable Business

After resolving his identity, Qin Feng officially began to prepare for the acquisition.

Before this, we were preparing to cooperate with BHP Billiton in Australia.

Of course, what Qin Feng didn't expect was that BHP Billiton is still two companies.

They are BHP and Billiton. BHP's current main business is oil and minerals, while Billiton's main business is mining. Now there are still two companies, not one company.

Qin Feng doesn’t know when it will become a company. All I know is that after becoming a company, it will be the world's largest mining company.

But this hasn’t been merged yet.

Qin Feng's consultation did not receive any good feedback.

It seems that the two companies have plans to merge. It's just that this kind of merger will take several years. It is by no means said that merging can result in merging.

After all, with so many assets and so many employees, they are all profitable companies, and the merger is to achieve an outcome where 1+1 is greater than 2. This naturally requires each other to finalize many details.

In this case, it is normal to be a little cold to Qin Feng.

After all, Qin Feng's request is to cooperate and jointly mine the mineral veins. For BHP Billiton, it is not that attractive. After they cooperate, they have no shortage of funds, so why should they cooperate with you Chinese people?

Before that, foreigners could not acquire mines in Australia. This is not allowed.

But now that Shi Dazhu has become a citizen, that's fine.

Therefore, Qin Feng decided to directly acquire the mine himself, bypassing BHP Billiton.

Anyway, Western Australia has a lot of mining resources.

From this point of view, even in later generations, before Qin Feng was reborn, there were a large number of mines in Western Australia that were not exploited.

The reason is very simple, that is, there are too many mine resources, too many. After all, the 2.6 million square kilometers of land are basically all kinds of hills and mountains, except for the coastal areas.

This kind of place contains too many mineral resources.

especially,

Australia itself lacks mountains.

The highest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko, is only 2,230 meters above sea level. Compared with the highest mountains on other continents, such as Mount Everest in Asia at 8848 meters, Aconcagua in South America at 6964 meters, Mount Denali in North America at 6914 meters, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa at 5895 meters, and Mount El in Europe at 5895 meters. Compared with these peaks, Mount Bruce is 5642 meters, Australia's highest mountain is too short.

This has also led to water shortages in Australia. The entire continent is very dry. Although water sources are relatively abundant in coastal areas, the entire continent is very short of water.

However, due to the lack of water, there are no snow-capped mountains on such low peaks. The mainland is short of water, but it also makes Australia extremely rich in mineral resources.

Due to the lack of water sources, these mountains contain a large number of mineral veins containing various mineral resources. The reserves of coal, iron ore, bauxite, etc. are extremely considerable.

This is also the main economic pillar for Australia to become a developed country.

This also gave Qin Feng an opportunity to acquire the mine himself.

After all, the mine resources are so abundant, so there is no need to act based on BHP Billiton's will. Nor did they acquire all the mine resources. Just acquire those that are easier to mine.

Most of the more remote mineral resources located in canyons or forests have not been exploited.

"What are we doing now?" Shi Dazhu asked.

"In this way, you first buy a few properties and settle down. You must have your own home. I'll go to the Mining Association here." Qin Feng said.

Shi Dazhu nodded.

Having a home gives you a place to stay, and it will be more convenient to come here in the future. In particular, he is also preparing to acquire pastures, farms, and manors here.

He is not as young and aggressive as Qin Feng. For him, after making enough money, it is perfect to have a place to retire. Clearly, Perth is a great fit.

Of course, it is a pity that compared to the Eastern Australia side, that is, Melbourne and Sydney, there is no prairie here. So, pasture might be enough.

The farm is no problem. As for growing grapes on the manor, there is no problem.

On Qin Feng's side, he went to the Mining Association.

Go for what? It's very simple, just take Australia's mineral resource exploration map.

This sounds like it should be a very secretive thing, but in fact, if you apply for the Mining Association, you can get it. After getting it, if you want to mine it, you still need to apply in the same way.

As long as you pay a certain amount of money, you will be qualified to mine. After that, just pay legal taxes.

Of course, the premise is that you must have Australian citizenship.

However, Qin Feng just came to get a detection map. This only required filling out a form and paying a small fee to get it.

Soon, after filling out the form and paying a fee of more than thirty dollars, Qin Feng got a map of the mining distribution resources that had been proven but not yet mined.

The resource distribution on this map is the result of exploration by some geologists in the past.

Qin Feng looked at it and saw that it was densely packed with exploration results for various mineral sites. Of course, all storage results are followed by a percentage. That is the issue of authenticity.

After all, this exploration cannot guarantee authenticity. Just a recommendation.

Qin Feng didn't say much and went back with this resource map.

Next time we come, it will be Shi Dazhu who registers the company and applies for mining.

"Is it that simple? Did they make a mistake!" Shi Dazhu looked at the many resource distribution maps in Qin Feng's hands and was stunned, completely unable to understand the Australian's behavior.

If this is done in China, then it is a treasure.

Who would spend a little money to get it like this.

"Because there are a lot of resources here!" Qin Feng shrugged, "With so many resources, it is not enough to leave them alone. Moreover, they will not suffer. We need to pay corresponding taxes when mining ores. In addition, In addition, only local workers can be hired, and foreign workers cannot be hired. This can also promote the local economy. In addition, all mineral mining must be carried out under its supervision. The local environment cannot be damaged. Even after mining is completed, the local area must be helped. Restore the original appearance.”

"What a troublesome thing!" Shi Dazhu curled his lips.

In China, once the mining is done, you leave, so who cares about this? As for the mining workers, that’s not up to them. You don’t care who I invite.

"That's why it's so easy to get!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"But isn't this going to be given to foreign investors to make money? Even if there are identity restrictions, you can be like me and buy it after naturalization!" Shi Dazhu still couldn't understand this kind of government behavior.

"But Brother Shi, after you naturalize, your income will have to pay taxes. Then the company will also have to pay taxes. If you hire so many workers, the wages of these workers will not be low. Plus, other investments. The other party is just I spent a little money to find out, but I spent nothing else. This is a hugely profitable business!" Qin Feng explained with a smile.
