Chapter 116: The Second Largest Ocean Natural Gas
Australia is rich in wool and is known as the country on the back of a sheep, and at the same time, it is also known as the 'country on the minecart', and is a large country with rich mineral resources, oil and natural gas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Especially for natural gas, Australia is the world's second largest exporter of natural gas, with an astonishing amount of proven and potential natural gas reserves, both coastal and inland.
Some people joke that if all the gas under Australia is detonated, the whole of Australia can be blown up.
This is obviously nonsense, natural gas is actually very difficult to explode, there is a concentration range, below this range or above, even if you walk in it with a torch, it will not cause an accident, but from the side shows that the reserves here are abundant.
Zhao Zejun worked in a gas station in his last life and is familiar with energy information.
The name of this fishery is Pyle Fishery. In the last life, around 2013, Australia discovered a seabed natural gas in the offshore waters, which is the second largest reserve of marine natural gas in Australia, which is probably located in the sea area called the Pyle Fishery in the north.
In the year that Zhao Zejun traveled, several of the world's energy giants were joining forces to invest in development.
Where the specific location is and what the coordinates are, Zhao Zejun definitely doesn't know, but the news report at that time was very clear, and the general direction was in the northwest facing the Indian Ocean, near the Pyer fishing ground.
"Have you seen the fishing ground?" Niu Shengli asked casually when he saw Zhao Zejun squinting at the sea.
"Well, I've been dreaming of living by the sea since I was a kid. Zhao Zejun said.
"Then buy it, and the farm will be mine. Niu Shengli said.
"Good. Zhao Zejun nodded.
Energy projects are a golden mountain, which can not only bring huge economic returns and significant influence, but also obvious strategic value, for enterprises, especially overseas enterprises, can even influence the regional pattern and political wind direction through energy......
But...... But the greater the return, the more amazing the investment. In the previous life, this submarine gas field was jointly cooperated by three world-renowned energy companies, invested tens of billions of dollars, and developed for several years, until the eve of Zhao Zejun's crossing, it began to produce returns.
The current Zezi system, in China, in southern Jiangsu Province, is an amazing giant, but it is far from qualified to play international energy.
In the final analysis, Lao Zhao still has a mentality of 'playing a pole with dates without dates', finding the best, and not caring too much if you can't find it. This is not an easy thing, natural gas is under the rock layer of the seabed, not to say that you can buy a submarine and go to the bottom of the sea to walk around and find it, it requires a variety of high-precision technology and large-scale instruments and equipment, as well as professional personnel.
Lao Zhao's abacus is clear, first occupy the sea, and then slowly explore, once it can be found, according to the relevant Australian regulations, whether it is developed by himself or jointly developed by others, the natural gas below is indispensable for his own piece of the pie.
If this piece of meat really doesn't fall into his mouth, it's nothing, anyway, it's not far from the fishing grounds.
No matter who develops it, when the time comes, it will be used as an excuse to affect the ecological production of the fishing grounds, and the other party will be severely 'knocked' to compensate.
Demolition compensation is too familiar to Lao Zhao.
The local tyrants from China, millions and thousands, do not count the money at all, and after making the decision, they stayed in Australia for less than half a month, and went through various reviews and procedures.
At the time of going through the formalities, there was a new problem.
Although there is a lot of land in Australia, the price is also cheap, and foreigners are expected to buy it, but it is not irresponsible to look at the money, the government will supervise the rational use of the land, and do not allow it to be vacant and waste resources.
In terms of specific management measures, fishery owners or farmers who do not have similar experience must hire a 'professional manager' to help manage or specialize in the production business.
The price is not expensive, the cheapest manager only costs two or three thousand Australian dollars a month, as for the top one, it is only tens of thousands, mainly some 'veterans' who have farm experience but do not have their own farm.
Qi Mingchen and Hong Xu are not qualified, Zhao Zejun and Niu Shengli can hand over the real power to Qi Mingchen, but the law can't pass this pass, Hong Xu can buy goods from farms and fisheries, but he is not qualified to manage.
The service of the Investment Authority is in place, there are a group of qualified people registered with the Authority, Zhao Zejun and Niu Shengli both hope that the future manager can speak Chinese, so as not to find a translator for every communication, and after the Authority screened, it quickly recommended two.
Both are young.
Hurd, 29, has a wealth of experience in farm management, his family has a micro-farm, because the family has six brothers, there is simply not so many manpower, so Hurd has been working on various farms in Australia since the age of 18, from a wage earner to a farm manager.
His last client, a couple from China's capital, bought a medium-sized farm in the east. Later, it seemed that something happened to the family, so the farm was sold, and Hurd worked there for three years, and he could basically master simple Chinese conversations.
Zhao Zejun was looking for a guy with bronzed skin, named Tony, 26 years old, but he already had four years of seafarer experience and four years of fishing experience, and was only promoted to fishery manager last year.
This unlucky kid has just been upgraded for a year, and the boss changed his career to electronics.
In this regard, Zhao Zejun and Niu Shengli have little experience, Hong Xu said that the Australian official introduction, both in terms of price and ability, is very reliable. As for safety and loyalty, don't worry too much, Australia has a lot of farms of all sizes, and it's a very regulated industry.
Both of them are charged 5,500 Australian dollars per month, and Niu Shengli and Zhao Zejun promised that if the future development is good, they can give a certain dividend reward.
Counting the investment, it is not much, a farm and fishery of this size, in the first year, an investment of hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars, can be developed.
This is considered an acquaintance, back to their own territory, everyone is ready to have a meal together.
There was nothing to eat or drink on the farm for the time being, and occasionally ran a few bantam horses, kangaroos or something, Hurd had the qualifications to hunt, and took out all the shotguns, Zhao Zejun thought about it, but he still couldn't bear to kill them, and let the animals go.
Tony is really a good hand, at least a good fisherman, driving the only small fishing boat in the fishing ground, a few hundred meters from the coast, in less than two hours before and after, he brought back several large boxes of harvest, all kinds of fish that Lao Zhao had never seen, strange-shaped shells, and a lobster longer than Zhao Zejun's forearm.
"Boss, let's eat seafood hot pot!" Tony suggested with a grin, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.
"You also know hot pot?" Zhao Zejun asked curiously.
"Of course, my deceased girlfriend was a Chinese immigrant, and before she died of cancer, her favorite food was hot pot......" Tony didn't have much sadness, but his tone was sincere, and he drew a cross on his chest and said, "May God bless her soul." ”
"God will bless every good person. Zhao Zejun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's eat hot pot." ”
Two managers, two bosses, two martial artists, four bodyguards, ten people, all men in the prime of life, each more edible than the other, held an open-air hot pot feast by the beach.
The waves swayed slightly like jelly, bringing a cool sea breeze.
Hong Xu brought two bottles of Moutai from the store brought from China, Hurd took advantage of Tony's fishing time, I don't know where to catch two fat hares, Zhao Zejun felt quite unbearable when he saw him peeling, but he was soon attracted by the fragrance emanating from the grill.
The biggest feature of seafood hot pot is that there is no feature, in the bottom of the pot with almost no seasoning, you can enter it without even waiting for it to be fully cooked, which maintains the original flavor of the ingredients, a slightly fishy and sweet taste, and spreads quickly on the taste buds, and then suffocates a mouthful of Moutai, and the whole person can only feel two words in an instant: transparent!
It seems to be one with nature.
As the sky grew dark, the two farm managers quickly turned the bonfire under the grill into a small fire.
Hurd pulled out an old guitar from his travel bag and sat by the campfire, pulsating the strings.
Tony sang a well-known Australian ballad in a not good, but very sincere voice.
“
Once upon a time there was a homeless man who slept by the pond,
Set up a tent under a eucalyptus tree.
He looked at the campfire and sang aloud
Please wander with me.
