Chapter 471: Superficial Contact with the Government of Western Australia
before acquiring stakes in Rio Tinto and BHP. Fan Wubing considered the possibility and necessity of establishing a base in Australia. Although he now holds part of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton shares and has become the third largest shareholder. But the British obviously will not easily give up the monopoly interests they have held for many years. There is no guarantee that something wrong will not happen. For example, actions such as diluting equity. Or use other ways to force yourself to give up most of your equity. These things are impossible to say.
So Fan Wubing thought. We must take advantage of the opportunity while Australia is busy attracting foreign investment. Establish your own sphere of influence in the west. Only then can the current position in the international iron ore market be completely reversed. Pricing power and voice.
When Fan Wubing was in the car. The radio in the car was playing an Australian radio program. A debate in the Australian Parliament is being broadcast inside.
at the very beginning. Fan Wubing didn't listen in vain. I thought it was ordinary people scolding inside. Later, I heard that there were titles such as Speaker and Minister. So he asked Carter. "What is all this mess?"
"The debate in the Australian Parliament. As usual, it will be broadcast live -" Carter has been here for a long time. After hearing this, he explained to Fan Wu.
Australia adopts the Westminster parliamentary system. And the Westminster system is inherently adversarial. Politicians attacking each other reflects something very Australian. There are many similarities with the functioning of the British Parliament, the Canadian Parliament, the Indian Parliament and the New Zealand Parliament. so. Despite the rudeness of the debates in the Italian Parliament. Advocate for men's political methods. Use the common people's words. rather than the language of a visionary or a profound thinker. But these are very much in line with the Westphalian body.
very interesting. The proceedings of the Australian Parliament are broadcast on an independent Parliamentary Broadcasting Network. Sometimes the standard of debate is very low. The personal attacks are shocking. Some deliberate efforts to block the passage of bills may even reach such an unscrupulous level that the audience will not tolerate them. and called the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to protest.
These complaints will be forwarded directly to the responsible officer of the meeting hall. Such as the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate. They will tell the MPs. have a look. The audience has already given their opinions. They have had enough of the debate in Congress. I think congressmen should quickly improve the quality of their speeches.
"It's hard to understand their laws. But if you want to rule such a large country with a population base of less than 20 million, it is really difficult to select some talents." Fan Wubing said to Maximus.
"Countries under the British Commonwealth system have always been like this. In fact, your place in Taiwan is not as good as here. It is said that they often move their feet during meetings and last time took off a female congressman's clothes." Maximos said nothing. He said politely.
Fan Wubing touched his nose.
I thought it was true. But it is not easy to push it out, otherwise it will create the separatist mentality of two Chinas. That's right.
Everyone quickly entered the villa area. The employees of Fanshizi Group had already prepared a banquet in the central villa area. Welcome the boss.
Fan Wubing invited Maximo to attend the banquet with him. A prosperous villa area. And the employees of Guo Changzi have some feelings in their hearts.
Since 1996, the Liberal Party of Australia and the National Party have formed an alliance under the leadership of Howard. After defeating the ruling party, Australia began to implement a more active economic policy.
For a long time. Australia implements a fiscal equalization system. The implementation of this system means that over the past hundred years. The central government has always adhered to the principle of equality. to protect citizens across the country. Whether you live in a remote rural area. Or the northern districts or Perth. All at the same price or as close to the same price as possible. Enjoy the same level of government services.
Take money from wealthy districts. and then reallocated to less affluent districts. This will ensure that citizens across the country can enjoy medical education and other government services. In fact. Sydney tax dollars could even be reallocated to Tasnia. To ensure that people there can also enjoy these conveniences.
The Liberal-National Party coalition government headed by Howard came into power in 1996. He began to advocate the management style of a free market economy. He actively advocated reform. Vigorously adjust economic policies. Emphasize that the more work you do, the more you will get. Safeguard the interests of the petty bourgeoisie. Focus on issues such as unemployment that are of vital interest to people.
Howard has set the short-term goals for this government. Let everyone have a job. Live a relaxed and comfortable family life. to this end. He took effective measures to improve the competitiveness of Australian business. Eliminate bureaucracy. Selling large state-owned companies. Reform the tax system. Improve the labor market. Promote microeconomic reform.
The issue of trade unions has always been a
Key differences among the Liberals. Labor advocates protecting the treatment of workers through trade unions. The Liberal Party advocates an incentive system. Practice more work and more. Trade unions play a very important role in European society. All previous Labor parties were led by trade unionists. During the thirteen years of Labor government. The role of trade unions is even more extraordinary.
Howard emphasized limiting the monopoly power of unions in wage negotiations. Solidarity strikes are explicitly outlawed. Strive to formulate a method that not only protects the interests of workers but also implements payment according to work. Howard also took aim at the former Labor government's welfare policies.
The Labor government's social security and welfare policies have been called policies to support lazy people. Overprotective policies are one of the reasons why Australia's personal income tax rate is as high as 49%. New immigrants can apply for various welfare benefits as soon as they enter Australia.
The Howard government is reforming a system that spends huge amounts of money and imposes too much. Provisions are made for new immigrants upon entry. You must live for two years before you can apply for relevant assistance from the Department of Social Welfare. at the same time. Howard advocated financial reform. Loose financial controls.
In order to open up the Chinese market. Elevating the development of Australia-China relations to the most important diplomatic strategy of his government. at present. Australia attaches great importance to its economic interests in China. This April. Howard led a delegation including 18 leading Australian business figures to visit China. Hailed by the most influential newspapers as the Prime Minister's Chinese Revolution.
in this case. Investors from other countries are welcomed by the Australian government. Therefore, when Fan Wubing's employees began to enter Xi'an in batches. It even moved the governor and others. Everyone has seen the Fan Investment Group behind them. Since such large and influential people have begun to enter the West. That also shows that the world capital group is beginning to be optimistic about the development of Western Australia. It also shows that the Liberal Party’s economic policies really work.
Therefore, at the welcome meeting of the Western Australia branch of Fanshi Investment Group. There are also government representatives. He is an important official in the Western State Government. It's called Hyde. He serves as an economic adviser to the state government.
"Welcome Mr. Fan to Perth. On behalf of Governor Skye, I would like to express my greetings to Mr. Fan. I hope that Mr. Fan can visit the state government at the appropriate time. Governor Skye and his colleagues are looking forward to this very much." Heideth held his hand. Fan Wubing's hand said
Fan Wubing smiled and expressed his thanks. Then he expressed. "I guess. No problem."
The states of Australia are larger in area. But the population is very small. If you look at it in terms of the area of the state. Or you can cover several provinces in China. But from a population perspective. It may only be equivalent to a large or medium-sized city. Therefore, Fan Wuyi felt that a governor was just a municipal leader. It's really no big deal. If you are in China. How could he be waiting for his own door-to-door visit? He had already rushed over to greet him. A financial giant as influential as himself. He is also the son of a member of the Politburo of China. Where would you put a character who is not a sought after character? Look at the reaction here in WA. Although it is also more important. But the gap is still big. So Fan Bing was muttering in his heart. Australia's bureaucracy is quite heavy.
but. Their bureaucracy is more intense. It's more suitable to drive here by yourself. Otherwise, once the atmosphere is opened up, the efficiency will increase. It is even more difficult to eat alone. Therefore, Fan Wubing greeted Haidesi very high. Treat him to a meal prepared by the staff in Chinese style.
Haidesi was very satisfied with Fan Wubing's generosity and warm hospitality. After all, they also knew Fan Wubing's identity. Needless to say anything else. The annual dividend payout alone for Rio Tinto and BHP's third largest shareholder is a powerful figure. So rich to entertain himself. It is indeed very face-saving.
So the guests and hosts chatted happily. Fan Wubing accidentally brought the topic to the exploration and mining of iron ore.
"It's easy to get exploration rights. There is a huge area of unexploited belt in Western Australia right now. But the mines are monopolized by big companies such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. I believe you are also very aware of this, Mr. Fan. If you want If we continue to explore in other areas, it will be very difficult. The money invested and the time consumed will be very long. There may not necessarily be a corresponding return." Haidsi heard Fan Wubing ask this question. I didn’t think much about it. He answered him directly. The reason why Heideth and others have such a negative attitude. It probably has a lot to do with the progress of mineral development in Western Australia over the years. In fact. Liangtuo has indeed monopolized the iron ore business in Western Australia. Don't try to get involved. very difficult. And it is not easy to open up the relationship with the authorities.
No official permission. Exploration and mining are impossible.
