Chapter 292: To Australia
After Huo Fu proposed that he wanted to communicate with the personnel of the aerospace department that day, Li Chenglin immediately reported the situation to China. A quick reply, but it depends on the specific parameters and performance of the satellite. In fact, Bao Zixuan has long known that China has the ability to launch communication satellites. This time, I just want the space department to make this money, and it will be logical to deepen cooperation in the future.
handed over the satellite data customized by Heiyun in the United States to Li Chenglin, and he also had to prepare to leave for Australia. This time, he not only wants to buy minerals, but also wants to buy some farms if he has the opportunity. After all, the future agricultural field is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and now that Hu Yingxiang and Zheng Yutong have received so much money, how can they find a way to spend some of it. After the black cloud, all the grain, meat, and vegetables will be supplied by themselves, so that more capable talents can see the strength and intentions of the enterprise.
The Commonwealth of Australia, referred to as "Australia", with a territory area of 7692024 square kilometers, is located between the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, surrounded by the sea, and is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent, so it is also called "Australia". Australia is a multicultural country of immigrants with many unique flora, fauna and natural landscapes. In later generations, there were about 670,000 overseas Chinese in Australia, accounting for 3.41% of the settled population.
Australia was originally inhabited by Aboriginal Australians. In the 17th century, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch colonists arrived here. In 1788 it "became a British colony, and in 1901 it became a British self-governing territory in the Commonwealth of Australia." It became an independent state within the British Commonwealth in 1931.
Australia is a highly developed capitalist country with Canberra as its capital. As the most economically developed country in the southern hemisphere, the world's 12th largest economy, and the world's fourth largest exporter of agricultural products, it is also the world's largest exporter of a variety of minerals, so it is called "the country sitting on a minecart". At the same time, Australia is also the country with the largest number of sheep and wool exports in the world, and is also known as the "country that rides on the back of sheep". Australia's population is highly urbanised, with nearly half of the population living in the two largest cities of XN and Melbourne. It is also a sports powerhouse, hosting many major sporting events around the world throughout the year. Australia is a founding member of APEC and a member of the United Nations, the Group of 20, the Commonwealth, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Pacific Islands Forum.
Australia is rich in mineral resources, oil and natural gas, with at least 70 kinds of mineral resources. Among them, bauxite reserves rank first in the world, accounting for 35% of the world's total reserves. Australia is the world's largest producer of bauxite, alumina, diamonds, lead and tantalum, and the output of gold, iron ore, coal, lithium, manganese ore, nickel, silver, uranium and zinc is also among the highest in the world. Australia is also the world's largest exporter of bituminous coal, bauxite, lead, diamonds, zinc and concentrates, the second largest exporter of alumina, iron ore and uranium, and the third largest exporter of aluminium and gold. Proven mineral reserves with economic mining value: about 3.1 billion tons of bauxite, 15.3 billion tons of iron ore, 511 billion tons of bituminous coal, 411 billion tons of lignite, 17.2 million tons of lead, 9 million tons of nickel, 40,600 tons of silver, 18,000 tons of tantalum, 34 million tons of zinc, 610,000 tons of uranium, and 4,404 tons of gold. Australia has 240 billion litres of crude oil, 1,360 billion cubic metres of natural gas and 174 billion litres of liquefied petroleum gas. The forest cover covers 20% of the country's land, with about 155 million hectares of natural forest (two-thirds of eucalyptus) and 1.22 million hectares of timber forest. It is called "the country that sits on a minecart".
Since they are all under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at this time, there are really many flights from Hong Kong to Australia. However, Bao Zixuan and Wu Guangzheng did not book a ticket to come, they chose to charter a flight. After the Shuangbao meeting conversation was exposed, there were a lot of people coming to Australia in Xiangjiang, and everyone wanted to start in advance to take the opportunity to make a fortune. However, when I got here, I realized that there are many conditions required to buy minerals, and it is not possible to do it with money alone, and it is difficult to control it if you don't have some strength. Therefore, many speculators went back, but there were also some unbelievers who wanted to see how the richest man Bao did business, so that he could take the opportunity to learn.
Before Bao Zixuan came over, he had arranged everything for the Black Cloud Australia Branch, and after arriving in Melbourne, Wu Aigang, the person in charge of Black Cloud Australia, came to pick up the airport in person.
Black Cloud's business in Australia has been tepid, mainly because the population is too small now. However, a branch was set up, mainly because the coordination of mineral and agricultural exports required a lot of manpower and material resources.
The name Wu Aigang has typical characteristics of the times, but Bao Zixuan's employment is mainly based on ability. It doesn't matter what his name is, after all, it's all his parents, and no one can change it.
Wu Aigang: "The boss has worked hard all the way, and it has been arranged, whether we will go to the hotel or the company first." ”
Bao Zixuan: "Old Wu is not in a hurry, you should know this Mr. Wu Guangzheng!"
Wu Aigang: "There are really not many people who don't know Wu Sheng's name in Xiangjiang, and we are still our own family!"
Bao Zixuan said: "Wu Sheng, this is the person in charge of our Black Cloud Australia Branch - Wu Aigang, do we go to the company or the hotel first." ”
Wu Guangzheng: "Bao Sheng, everything in Australia this time is subject to you." I'm just here to learn from the experience, and it's up to you. After speaking, he looked at Wu Aigang and said: "Mr. Wu, hello! I still need you to take care of me in Australia." ”
Wu Aigang doesn't want to underestimate this boat king family colt who came with the boss, after all, where is the strength of the people. However, the temperament that Heiyun employees should have could not be lost, so he said: "Wu Sheng is polite, you have something you can say." ”
Bao Zixuan: "Let's go to the company first! Lao Wu will report to me on the way." ”
Wu Guangzheng, who knew that the company had something to discuss, consciously did it in the back car, and Wu Aigang and Bao Zixuan sat in the back seat of the first car.
After getting on the bus, Wu Aigang said: "Heiyun has 203 employees in Australia, mainly in Australia and New Zealand, and is still in the market development stage. In the first half of this year, the sales of the entire Australian Black Cloud were 650 million US dollars, mainly the revenue of the signal tower of the Black Cloud mobile phone here, but according to your request, we did not hand over the funds to the headquarters, but purchased mines and ranches. In the past two days, due to the exposure of the conversation between you and the charter king, many people have come to buy minerals, and the price has risen by 3 layers. ”
In fact, Wu Aigang is only making acquisitions on the surface, and the real acquisition of Bao Zixuan has been arranged for the Blackstone Fund of the United States to be responsible, and it began to be implemented last year. After all, it is relatively convenient to acquire resource-based companies in Australia with a background in American companies.
Bao Zixuan: "I've worked hard recently, have all the family settled here?"
At present, Heiyun implements that executives can choose to follow their families in other places, or they can live in Heiyun Industrial Park. The company is responsible for all the expenses from kindergarten to high school, so many people bring their wives to work, and the older children will live and study in the school in the Heiyun Industrial Park, after all, there are perfect educational resources.
Wu Aigang: "My wife came with me and currently runs a pastry shop in Melbourne. Both children are in Xiangjiang, and the eldest daughter will be admitted to university next year. ”
Bao Zixuan: "You have to choose this yourself, our own university in Heiyun will be put into use next year." You can let her study somewhere, or choose to study in Australia and see the world. ”
Wu Aigang: "Thank you boss for your concern, but she often calls and says that she is very happy in Heiyun Inner High School, and many of her classmates want to apply for our own university." ”
This is really not a polite remark, now that the construction of Heiyun University is halfway through, it will be completed by this time next year. Just a plan and an existing building attract non-math students, especially the children of Black Cloud. After several years of studying in schools in the industrial park, they have deeply fallen in love with the cultural concept of Heiyun.
However, Bao Zixuan is not a saint, as long as it is an employee who resigns or makes a mistake and is fired, then their children will be dismissed as soon as possible, and they will never be given a chance. It's a bit impersonal, but it's a deterrent.
