"Okay, which one do you want to mine?" asked Shi Dazhu.

There are so many proven here, and no one has mined them.

"Well, I'll take a look!" Qin Feng searched carefully on the map.

After a careful search, Qin Feng stopped his finger in the forest between Bridgetown and Balingapu in southern Western Australia, where a vein was marked: the Greenbush Mining Area.

It's tin ore!

"Is Mao also here?" Shi Dazhu was stunned, "Didn't Boss Ming let us focus on iron ore?"

Iron ore can be used to build tall buildings, although tin ore is also important. However, at this stage, the country is vigorously developing infrastructure, and the demand for iron ore is the largest.

Qin Feng smiled.

I thought I couldn't find it here, but I didn't expect to find it.

This is indeed a tin mine, and the reserves are quite large, and it shows that there are about billions of dollars worth of tin ore left.

In itself, this has no mining value.

After all, although there are billions of Australian dollars left, if you mine it, Qin Feng has some data provided by Boss Ming in his hands. The initial investment in this mining will be almost $1 billion.

Among them, it is mainly used to buy various mining equipment, as well as large ore trucks, as well as road repairs and so on. These are very large sums of money. Counting the follow-up labor expenses, the hourly wages of workers here are basically more than forty or fifty dollars.

If it's hot, there's a variety of subsidies. In addition, various benefits are also offered. For example, the corresponding pick-up and drop-off to the city, as well as various daily necessities and so on.

Inconvenient if it is too far from the city. It would also be necessary to build small towns and provide comfortable living conditions for the workers. At the same time, it also needs to meet their needs to enjoy family fun.

Therefore, many small towns in remote areas of Australia come from this way. It was all built by mining companies.

In addition to this, it is necessary to purchase pension insurance, which is 9.5% of its income. It is the responsibility of the enterprise in addition to the salary.

Counting these seven, seven, eight, and eight, and then counting the tax on mining, the tax on every ton, it is basically not profitable.

Therefore, after nearly a century of tin mining, the remaining tin ore is relatively scattered, and there is no company to mine it. Although there are still billions of tin ore left, it is not cost-effective to count labor, taxes, etc. It's not that you don't make money, it's just a hard work, and you don't earn more than workers.

That's not a good deal. After all, there are so many vein resources in Perth, just mine the others.

So, this place was deserted.

The reason why Qin Feng chose this place is because there is a news in later generations, a very big news, that is, the sudden and unexpected discovery of an extremely amazing lithium deposit here.

It is said to be worth hundreds of billions of Australian dollars.

The exact number, Qin Feng forgot. At that time, the news came up. Initially, lithium metal was used for a variety of industrial purposes, such as aluminum smelting, lubricating oils, pharmaceuticals, firing of glass and ceramic vessels, and pigments.

Although it is widely used, it is not in great demand.

But with the rise of mobile phones, the rise of laptops, everything is different. In particular, the R&D and application of lithium batteries is the first revolution in the real status of lithium. Lithium is the lightest of all metals and has a high energy density, which means that lithium batteries are perfectly suited for digital devices such as laptops, mobile phones, calculators, and digital cameras, both in terms of functionality and portability.

In addition, the emergence of electrically driven cars has ignited the lithium battery market and once again completed the second revolution in the field of lithium metal applications. This is also the key to the lithium resource industry becoming the hottest new industry.

But at that time, there were not many proven lithium mines in the world. After all, the demand was very small before, and everyone didn't care much. The proven lithium ore is enough for the world to use for hundreds of years.

However, after two consecutive revolutions in lithium batteries, the proven lithium mines are not enough. Therefore, when the lithium mine in Australia was discovered, it was on the global financial news.

There were a lot of reports at that time, and Qin Feng unexpectedly paid attention to it. After all, the reserves are amazing. It occupies 30% of the global market share of lithium mines sold.

How amazing is that!

Therefore, this time Qin Feng came, he was looking for this first. Let's take this point first. In that way, when the lithium battery revolution is in the future, it will be worth a lot of money here.

As for iron ore, it's too much. Take your pick.

"By the way, what if we don't find out?" Shi Dazhu asked curiously.

"What we didn't find, we found. That's the same with paying taxes. However, a certain degree of tax exemption can be carried out, which can be regarded as a reward for the discovery of ore vein resources. Qin Feng smiled and said, "In Australia, don't expect anything really to get rich overnight." It's all about taxes. You can't escape. ”

The government allows you to get rich, but you have to pay taxes.

And the more you earn, the more you pay taxes.

Therefore, relatively speaking, Australia's welfare benefits make it difficult for it to appear world-class super-rich.

For example, the richest family in Australia has only $18 billion in assets accumulated over several generations.

This is nothing compared to the world's richest people. You must know that Australia does not have an inheritance tax, unlike other developed countries that need to pay a heavy inheritance tax.

Even so, the whole of Australia is an ancestor with assets of more than 10 billion US dollars. The second place did not exceed 10 billion. As for Scott Farquhar, who is ranked 10th, looks like actor Scott Alkins, and has a net worth of only $4 billion.

In this country, it is too difficult to get rich quickly, and various taxes ensure that wealth is as average as possible, so that the people as a whole are rich.

"Alas, it's so hard to make money here!" Shi Dazhu shook his head.

In contrast, China is simply a paradise for investment, and you can make money casually.

Here, making some money is simply fatal. And also to build a small town for the workers to meet their needs for family fun. It's simply incredible.

"Okay, how is your property here?" Qin Feng asked.

"Well, I've looked at a few of them today, and they're all pretty good. I want to buy a villa by the sea and an apartment in the city. It's just that the manor doesn't have enough time these days!" Shi Dazhu said helplessly.

Qin Feng smiled.

"There's no rush to this. Take your time! It's okay, you can come and pick a manor. Qin Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, you don't have anything to do in China for the time being." ”

"That's right!" Shi Dazhu grinned, "by the way, my daughter must like it here, there are children's facilities everywhere, every block, it's so child-friendly." ”

Qin Feng smiled.

"In the ranking of Australians, children are the first, the elderly are second, women are third, and men are the lowest. Qin Feng smiled and said, "Xiao Jing'er will like it here." ”

This is a good place, but for Qin Feng, the best thing here is that there are many ore vein resources. If you win here, your position in the country will be more stable.
