After eating, a large group of people sat and chatted.

Some talk about business, some talk about the military, the international situation, and so on.

"Uncle, I'm going back, there's still something going on in the army. Chen Chen offered his farewell.

"Good. "Xia Qian's father sent him to the door.

Ye Mu looked at it: "Uncle, I'm going back too." "He's bored here, except for a few words with Chen Chen, other people's talk about Ye Mu can't be inserted.

"Sit a little longer, have dinner and then leave. Xia Zhiwu kept Ye Mu Dao.

"I couldn't catch up with the plane at night. ”

Xia Qian's father nodded: "Chen Chen, help me send Ye Mu?"

"Come on, drop by. Chen Chen invited Ye Mu to take his car: "I arrived in Nangang City, just by the way." ”

"Thank you. ”

Sitting in the car, Ye Mu called Angson and asked him to arrange the route, and talked about flying to Australia in two days.

Chen Chen glanced at Ye Mu: "You have a private jet?"

Ye Mu smiled and asked, "What kind of old man are you Xia Chen family?"

"Our Chen family is full of soldiers, army families. My grandfather and Grandpa Xia are comrades-in-arms, Grandpa Xia went to the sea to do business during the reform and opening up, and is now the chairman of Xiahua International. Chen Chen said simply: "The second generation of the Xia family is okay, and the third generation is full of second ancestors." Xia Qian's mother died early, and she grew up with her grandfather, who was my grandfather......"

"Grandpa Xia Qian is a general?"

"Deputy military district position. ”

Ye Mu is interested in Xia Qian's grandfather, not because of his position, but because he wants to know what kind of general can raise a cute granddaughter.

Chen Chen took out a cigarette and handed it to Ye Mu: "What are you from?"

Ye Mu caught the cigarette and lit it: "There is a mining company, do some investment business." YeMu, the name of my company. There is also a ranch ...... "Ye Mu's personal information is not a secret, Chen Chen and they want to check, and they can find some information on the Internet."

"The Xia family is quite powerful. I always wanted to arrange a marriage for Xia Qian, but Xia Qian's father didn't agree, and the relationship between Xia Qian's father and Xia Qian's grandfather was not very good. My grandfather doesn't know how to take girls, and his heart hurts like a baby, as if the outside world is full of bad people...... How did you catch up with your cousin?"

"This ...... Love at first sight. Xia Qian and my sister are good girlfriends...... And then it's fine. Ye Mu was a little embarrassed and confused.

……

After returning to his hometown, he continued to visit the homes of his relatives.

As soon as the New Year passed, the factory was about to start, and many of Ye Mu's relatives did not have passports, so they originally wanted to invite everyone to travel to Australia, but they did not speak.

Take off from Rongcheng directly to Darwin Airport, apply for a transit visa, and then fly to Granville Ranch.

The mine was established to facilitate contact with the outside world, and a small airport was also built.

The airport is on the dock side, and a settlement has been formed, and depending on the size, there should be hundreds of people living there.

He was greeted by Kahn, the head of the mining production company. Connor, CEO of a mining company. Mike is CEO of Granville Meat Products. There are others, unseen......

Ye Mu got out of the plane with the iconic two dogs and one robot.

"Ye, is this your private jet?" Karn asked, looking at the plane with envious eyes.

Ye Mu smiled and nodded, stepped forward and hugged Karn, and then hugged Connor and Mike: "Thank you for your hard work, the company's operation is okay?"

"Good. Connor invited Leafwood to sit on an open-top Wrangler and showed Leafwood a look at the living quarters.

All are wooden huts and have a police station.

Then went to the pier.

Simple wharf, which can berth ships below 20,000 tons.

The marina has a railway, a gravel-paved road......

"The dock that was built in mid-October, in addition to transporting ore, should also go to us for bulk transport in the Kuriksen area. Cattle, sheep, soybeans, cereals, etc...... Almost one freighter per day. Constance said, pointing to the facilities under construction on the dock land, and smiled: "Because of this terminal, the WA government subsidized us with 4.3 million Australian dollars for the construction of terminal facilities. ”

The railway was completed in November.

The concentrator is still under construction and has been completed, which can produce 160 tons of 57~60% lead concentrate powder, 105 tons of 46~50% zinc concentrate powder and 150 tons of 24%~26 copper concentrate per day. Silver ......

The output fluctuates up and down, and it is not too large.

The concentrator plant has been completed, and it can produce 500 tons of lead concentrate powder per day.

After watching the dock for a while, Ye Mu took the car to the factory.

The factory is at the end of the railway, where the mine is.

The mining company currently employs 139 people, half Australians and half Chinese employees recruited according to Yemu's requirements.

It's hard here, but the pay is very good, with an annual salary of 100,000 Australian dollars.

The situation in Africa is unstable, and the situation in many countries is not peaceful, and the prices of major metal mines in the world have risen, and the most serious price increases are iron ore, copper mines, and so on.

"Can you increase production?" Ye Mu asked after visiting the lower mineral processing workshop, coming to the office.

"It's hard. There is a set annual mining capacity, and 500 tons of lead concentrate powder per day is already the limit. The construction of the plant is expected to be completed in May...... By the way, there are a number of companies that want to cooperate with us to build polymetallic smelting plants such as lead, zinc and copper. What do you mean?" Connor said, holding a large pile of papers.

"Show me the company's financial statements. Haki didn't answer right away, and Connor called Hagi on the computer......

In mid-December, the concentrator plant officially started.

In two months, 4,500 tons of lead ore, 2,300 tons of zinc ore, and 4,900 tons of copper ore were sold.

Lead ore sells for an average of $2,336 per tonne. 10.51 million, Australian dollars.

The average selling price of zinc ore is A$4,802, tonnes. 11.04 million, Australian dollars.

The copper mine sold for an average of $9,391 per tonne. 40.61 million, Australian dollars.

Total revenue, $62.16 million.

There are all kinds of expenses, and it is not easy to calculate profits for the time being, but I know that the company has 76 million Australian dollars in funds. Ye Mu has previously injected capital into the company twice, once for $20 million and once for $50 million.

You can't be wrong with a mine that is easy to mine and a bonanza with frighteningly high profits.

If 500 tons of lead concentrate powder are produced per day, it means that about 330 tons of zinc concentrate and about 470 tons of copper concentrate will be produced. The output is 6.7 million in one day and 67 million in ten days, rounded up to 100 million.

Even though Ye Mu had a large amount of cash in his hand, he couldn't help but be excited.

Ye Mu's mining company, preliminary calculations, deduct all expenses, including taxes, etc., not to mention too much, 30% of the profits.

This is more profitable than digging for gold.

With the output of 500 tons of lead concentrate per day, the rich ore area will be dug for 30 years, which is a hen that lays golden eggs for a long time.

The mining area is fully rolled out, and it is not a problem to form a small town of 10,000 people.

Mount Issa, an important mining city in Queensland, Australia. It is Australia's largest copper mine, rich in silver, lead and zinc, and has a population of more than 30,000. The lead-zinc reserves here are 26.77 million tonnes at a grade of 3.419%. 5.8 million tonnes of copper......

The Cooloxen polymetallic deposit in Yemu has a lead-zinc ore grade of up to 14.5%, and the sub-mining areas are relatively scattered, and the lead-zinc reserves rank 16th in the world and third in Australia in the same type of mines.

What's more, the mining land is privately owned, which is very pleasant.

Ye Mu briefly looked at the financial report and raised his head: "The investment in polymetallic smelting plants is high, and the returns are small. Building a factory in Australia, the profit is too small. Factories in other countries can be considered...... You can take care of the partner company. Also, the mining company will bring in a few shareholders, which are offshore companies, and Shengmei Investment Bank will send someone to handle the documents. ”

Connor nodded: "I will carefully choose the partner company, and I will integrate the information for you after confirmation." ”
