Chapter 936 - A Profitable Deal (Two More Collections)
After settling his identity, Qin Feng officially began to prepare for the acquisition.
Before that, it was preparing to cooperate with BHP Billiton in Australia.
Of course, what Qin Feng didn't expect was that BHP Billiton is still two companies now.
They are BHP and BHP. BHP's current main business is oil and minerals, while BTO is mainly engaged in mining. It's still two companies, not one company.
Qin Feng also didn't know when it would become a company. It is only known that after becoming a company, it is the world's largest mining company.
But isn't that yet merged?
And Qin Feng's consultation did not get any good feedback.
It seems that the two companies already have the intention to merge. It's just that this kind of merger will take several years. It is not to say that merging can be merged.
After all, so many assets and so many employees are all money-making companies, and the merger is to achieve the ending of 1+1 greater than 2. Naturally, this requires many details to be finalized with each other.
In this case, it is normal to be a little snub to Qin Feng's side.
After all, Qin Feng's request was to cooperate and jointly mine the mining veins. For BHP, it is not so attractive. After they cooperate, there is no shortage of funds, so why should they cooperate with your Huaxia people.
Before that, foreigners could not buy mines in Australia. This is not allowed.
But now, Shi Dazhu has joined the nationality, so that's fine.
Therefore, Qin Feng decided to directly acquire the mine himself, bypassing BHP Billiton.
Anyway, there are many mine resources in Western Australia.
At this point, even in later generations, before Qin Feng's rebirth, there were a large number of mines in Western Australia that were not mined.
The reason is 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.
There are too many ore vein resources in this kind of place.
In particular, Australia itself lacks mountains.
The highest mountain, Mount Kosciuszco, is only 2,230 meters above sea level. Compared to the highest peaks on other continents, such as Mount Everest in Asia at 8,848 meters, Aconcagua in South America at 6,964 meters, McKinley in North America at 6,914 meters, Kilimanjaro in Africa at 5,895 meters, and Mount Elbrus in Europe at 5,642 meters, Australia's highest mountain is too short compared to these peaks.
This has also led to a lack of water in Australia. The whole continent is very dry. Although water is relatively abundant in the coastal areas, the entire continent is very short of water.
However, because of the lack of water, there are no snow-capped mountains due to such low peaks, and the lack of water on the mainland, but it also makes Australia's mineral resources extremely rich.
These mountain ranges, due to the lack of water, contain a large number of mineral veins, and various mineral resources are contained in them. Coal, iron ore, bauxite, etc., the reserves are extremely considerable.
This is also the main economic pillar of Australia becoming a developed country.
This also gave Qin Feng the opportunity to acquire the mine by himself.
After all, the mine resources are so abundant, so there is no need to look at BHP's face. They also did not acquire all the mine resources. It's just that the ones that are better mined are acquired.
More of the more remote ones are located in canyons or forests, and most of them are not exploited.
"What are we doing now?" asked Shi Dazhu.
"In this case, you should first buy a few properties and settle down, and you must have a home of your own. I went to the mining association here. Qin Feng said.
Shi Dazhu nodded.
If you have a home, you can count it as a place to stay, and it will be more convenient to come in the future. In particular, he is also preparing to buy ranches, farms, and estates here.
He is not as young as Qin Feng, so driven. For him, after making enough money, it is perfect to have a place to retire. Clearly, Perth is a perfect fit.
Of course, it is a pity that compared to the Eastern Australian side, that is, Melbourne and Sydney, there is no prairie here. So, the ranch may be choking enough.
The farm is no problem. As for growing grapes on the estate, these are even more problematic.
Qin Feng's side went to the Mining Association.
It's very simple, take Australia's mineral resource exploration map.
This should sound like a very secret thing, but in fact, the Mining Association, you can get it if you apply for it. After you get it, you have to mine, or the same application.
As long as you pay a certain amount of money, then you will be eligible to mine. After that, just pay taxes legally.
Of course, the premise is that you have to have Australian nationality.
However, Qin Feng just came over to get a detection map, which only needs to fill out a form and then pay a small fee to get it.
Soon, after filling out the form and paying more than 30 dollars, Qin Feng got a map of the distribution of mining resources that had been proven and had not yet been mined.
The distribution of resources on this map is the result of past exploration by geologists.
Qin Feng looked at it, it was densely packed, marking the results of the exploration of various ore sites. Of course, all reserve results are followed by a percentage. That is, the question of authenticity.
After all, this exploration does not guarantee that it will be true. Just a recommendation.
Qin Feng didn't say much, and went back with this resource map.
The next time I come back, I will have to apply for mining after Shi Dazhu registered the company.
"It's as simple as that, are they mistaken!" Shi Dazhu looked at the distribution map of many resources in Qin Feng's hands, dumbfounded, and couldn't understand the style of the Australians at all.
This is going to be in the country, that's the baby.
Who would spend a little money like this to get it.
"Because there are a lot of resources here!" Qin Feng shrugged, "So many points, it's not like putting it away." And they don't suffer. When we mine ore, we need to pay corresponding taxes. In addition to this, only local workers can be hired, and foreign workers cannot be hired. This will also boost the local economy. Plus all mining at the site must be carried out under its supervision. The local environment must not be damaged, and even if the mining is completed, it must be helped to restore the local area to its original appearance. ”
"It's so troublesome!" Shi Dazhu pouted.
This is in the country, and you will leave after mining, who cares about you. As for the miners, that's not up to them. You don't care who I invite.
"So, that's why it's so easy to get!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"But in this case, isn't it given to foreign investors to make money! Even if there are identity restrictions, you can be the same as me, and you can buy it after naturalization!" Shi Dazhu still couldn't understand this kind of government behavior.
"But Brother Shi, after you become a naturalized citizen, your income will be taxed. And then the company has to pay taxes. If you hire so many workers, the wages of these workers are not low. Plus, other inputs. The other party just spent a little money to find out, and the rest didn't pay at all. This is a lucrative deal!" Qin Feng explained with a smile.
