Yin Jun was very satisfied with Shen Ben's handling of it.

And few people have noticed that Shen Ben's expression actually has another meaning.

"We don't compete with people in Western Australia for jobs now, but we don't have any guarantees if there are new jobs in the future. ”

In fact, not many people believe this now.

Do you want to find a new big mine out of Western Australia?

No kidding!

Several major mining giants have already explored all the surrounding areas, and there are no major mining resources at all.

Those small and medium-sized mines are useless, and they will make you die just for exploration, development, transportation, and other projects.

In the end, the gains outweigh the losses.

But it turns out that until 2000 onwards, there were still large mines being discovered, let alone in 1982.

It's just that Yin Jun is still waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to make Wankang Company take root more firmly, so that he can carry out the next plan.

If you want to say that the manpower of Wankang Company is basically enough.

25,000 workers, which are more than enough to develop one or two large mines.

But they still lack some underground.

The first point is the issue of the identity of the migrants.

In the beginning, Western Australia only gave a visa for working immigrants, and under normal circumstances, it takes two or three years to become a real resident, adding up to a total of five years before becoming an Australian citizen.

Now the first and second batches of immigrants, that is, about two years or so, have already applied for green cards and belong to permanent residents of Australia, and they are not subject to the restrictions of work visas.

But there are at least more than 20,000 people who are still on work visas.

If Yin Jun develops the mine, and their job opportunities conflict with the residents of Australia, it will be a very troublesome matter, and it is not impossible to be deported at that time.

So, basically, it was in 1983 and '84 that the best time to develop the mine was to do so.

The second aspect is that Yin Jun still lacks more people who speak for himself in the government and parliament of Western Australia.

Most of the officials and councillors who advocated increasing the number of people in Hong Kong had no personal relationship with the Kirin Group, and the most hardcore Vukovic has now become the director of the Western Australian Highway Bureau.

But he alone is not enough.

Yin Jun hopes that the next step is to let Shen Ben run for the council, and then unite some people in the parliament to have their own voice channels, so that it will be convenient for the Kirin Group to do things.

Shen Ben is different from ordinary workers, he obtained Australian citizenship last year, and some people have long persuaded him to run for parliament.

After all, Shen Ben has 20,000 or 30,000 workers in his hands, plus their families, such 70,000 or 80,000 people, in the vast and sparsely populated state of Western Australia, but it is a large force, and if it can be co-opted, it can definitely influence the introduction of some policies.

Shen Ben pondered that in the future, when he opened a mine in Western Australia, he would definitely have to coordinate a lot of interests, and it would be difficult to do without an official identity, in fact, after discussing it with Yin Jun, he had already actively invested in the preliminary preparations.

There is such a good thing about foreign countries.

They encourage wealthy people to participate in all kinds of management.

Many parliamentarians and officials are either lawyers or wealthy people.

Because it is certainly much better to have these smart people to manage and formulate policies than to do it to those who don't understand anything.

But running for membership is not that simple, and requires a series of formalities and processes, which may not be completed until 1983 at the earliest.

The third point is that the Kirin Group has already applied for prospecting rights in Western Australia, but because of the monopoly of the giants, even if Yin Jun only applied for a small thousands of square kilometers of land, it has not been approved.

Given the efficiency of Western Australia, it may have to be done in 1983.

Only after taking down the prospecting rights first and having a stable guarantee in my heart can we continue to move on to the next step.

As for whether he will compete with Australians for job opportunities, Yin Jun doesn't have to worry about it at all.

He knew how big the ironstone mines he was going to develop would be.

With that little bit of people in Western Australia, how is it possible to fill these ironstone mines?

Moreover, these ironstone mines do not belong to mature development areas, and all kinds of transportation, accommodation and other conditions are very difficult.

They are reluctant to go to mature iron ore areas that have been developed for decades.

With the highest salary, the best vacation, and the easiest work, they are still complaining about this kind of dissatisfaction.

Do they want to go to this new harsh mining area?

Definitely not!

Only a small number of residents whose homes are nearby are likely to join.

But these dozens or hundreds of people, for the demand for the entire mine, is really a drop in the bucket, most of the manpower, of course, has to be filled by Chinese workers.

Even the government and parliament of Western Australia will do the same.

Their biggest income is the prospecting rights of the mine, as well as the taxes and fees paid for iron ore, as well as various fees in the circulation link.

If such a large iron ore mine is discovered, but it is not started, then the income of their government will be reduced, and what can be done will have to be delayed, and once it is delayed, they will have to step down.

Besides, this is a new iron mine, and it has not crowded out the jobs of the previous workers!

Therefore, there must be this group of officials and parliamentarians who support the Chinese workers to actively start work.

……

With the increase of age and experience, Yin Jun feels more and more that a person cannot eat alone.

At least not at any time.

In areas that you can handle, that's no problem.

For example, the aspect of unicorn culture.

But in some areas, you must not be too greedy.

For example, it's the iron ore business that I am thinking about.

Developing an iron ore mine, even an open-pit mine, is a costly project.

The later generations of CEFC can prove it very well in this regard.

From 2006 to 2013, it took them more than $8 billion in seven years to finally drive the first shipment of iron ore back to China.

In addition to prospecting and mining, iron ore is more about transportation and dealing with people.

Because iron ore development is environmentally destructive, there are very strict requirements in all aspects.

Not only is the railway used for transport exclusive and cannot be mixed with civilian ones, but when you are building a railway, you will cry when you have to pass through private land but people do not allow it.

At that time, the whole design will have to be rebuilt, and it will take a lot of time and energy.

There is also the issue of the port.

Mature ports are all operated by others for a long time, everyone is a competitor, your iron ore ship goes out early, then you can make money, mine will make less money.

Therefore, if you want to rent a port that has been developed by someone else, you have to endure the worst time period and the least amount of traffic.

So what to do?

You have to build a port yourself.

Building a port is not a difficult task for Chinese people, but the problem is that if you build a port in Australia, you can't use Chinese people under normal circumstances, and all your work visas will be stuck.

So you can only ask for lazy, extremely inefficient Australians.

And then you just wait and cry.

Deadline problems, quality problems, and various precision problems have to make normal people crazy.

This is why CEFC expects the first shipment of iron ore to be shipped back from 3 years to 7 years.

This is also the reason why CEFC Group's budget has risen from $3.5 billion to $8 billion in one go.

Fortunately, knowing that there were such serious consequences, Yin Juncai hurriedly moved his own people over first, and even if Australians were necessary in the future, Chinese workers could be used as the main force.

As long as the Chinese come to be workers, then nothing will be delayed.

However, such a big thing and such a huge project, if only the Kirin Group did it, it would definitely be a bit beyond its strength.

Be.

If a family does it, and finally does it well, it will definitely get the same benefits as astronomical amounts.

But what's the use of that?

Is Yin Jun short of money?

Did he come to mining because he was short of money?

Definitely not!

Yin Jun's main thing is to control the pricing power of iron ore himself, and then actively support the country's iron ore demand in the following years.

Then, if we can use iron ore to pull all the rich people in Xiangjiang on the boat, everyone can make money together, increase close ties with the mainland, and become more and more interested in the mainland, that is the best.

The merchants of Hong Kong care about profits.

Once they find that the mainland will give them more and bring more benefits, they will resolutely support the mainland.

If they find that the mainland can no longer give them more things, then they will naturally be alienated.

This is the result of Li Chaoren's lifelong business with the mainland.

Yin Jun didn't want to comment on what Li Chaoren did right or wrong, he also knew that a businessman could not remain the same for a lifetime, let alone force others to be the same as himself.

However, in the past 20 years, at a time when Xiangjiang needs to establish close ties with the mainland and cultivate a new generation with centripetal force towards the mainland, Yin Jun hopes to win them over.

The opinions of these tycoons represent the opinions of the mainstream society in Hong Kong.

They, along with their employees, and the people they can influence, make up the vast majority of Hong Kong.

As long as they stand with Yin Jun, where will Xiangjiang appear 30 years later, so ridiculous and messy?

So in order to make Xiangjiang better, Yin Jun gave up some of his interests and let the wealthy people in Xiangjiang participate, which is not a problem at all.

In many ways, having multiple shareholders is also a good thing.

If there are more people, the power of everyone will be greater, which will make the business more convenient!
