Xia Wen immediately became excited, Fang Mingyuan really gave him a heavy *, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Fang Shao, as far as I know, China's iron ore reserves are also in the forefront of shijie, a while ago, didn't I also find an amazing reserve of iron ore, I remember it was in Liao Province. Weishenme still has to go far and wide to import Australian iron ore? Xia Wen asked softly. This means that there are only Fang Mingyuan and the three of them in the house, and Lin Rong and him are like brothers and sisters, "Otherwise, Xia Wen would never say it."

"China's iron ore reserves are indeed in the forefront of Shijie", but China's iron ore is poor, rich ore, and most of the mines have limited reserves" and the distribution is very scattered. It's not easy to calculate, "transportation is also a problem. And these iron ores must be beneficiated and further processed "before they can be smelted." Otherwise, we will not be able to produce high-quality steel. This will undoubtedly increase the cost of the enterprise! Lin Rong explained. For a while, because Fang Mingyuan paid attention to Australian iron ore, Lin Rong also made up for it for a while, and now it happens to be learning and selling!

"Even if you count the cost of shipping and importing?" Xia Wen was a little incredulous. Don't look at domestic education, all day long saying that Huaxia is rich in resources, this reserve shijie is the first, "that shijie reserves are second", but such a deep level of knowledge has never been mentioned to him.

"Even if you count the cost of shipping and importing!" Fang Mingyuan nodded heavily. Perhaps by the time the price of iron ore is at its highest in the next century, the cost of imported iron ore has exceeded that of domestic iron ore, "but the domestic iron ore production and output cannot keep up, and these iron and steel companies are facing the dilemma of having no rice to cook."

This is undoubtedly a bad cycle, because the cost of imported iron ore is lower than that of domestic iron ore, so a large number of large iron and steel enterprises are using imported iron ore production, so that "there is no doubt that the domestic mining of iron ore will be affected, can not get sufficient capital investment." When the price of imported iron ore exceeds that of domestic iron ore, "because steel production has increased", these enterprises can not reduce production, and the output of domestic iron ore is seriously lagging behind, which causes steel companies to have no choice.

Of course, there is no need to talk about this to Xia Wen again.

"Brother Xia, come and see!" Fang Mingyuan took out another map of Western Australia and pointed to several locations on it, "This is where we may invest in the future, including mines, a railway to transport iron ore to the seaside, and a deep-water port!" The places Fang Mingyuan refers to "are all places that have been carefully explored and investigated by experts in the previous life, and they will indeed invest heavily in the construction of mines, railways and deep-water ports in the future, only until the day when Fang Ming is away from the world, and all of this is still on the drawings of Western Australians." With the project, Western Australia hoped to build a new iron ore mining area in the central and western regions "into the second largest iron ore producing area after the iron ore producing areas controlled by Force, Rio Tinto." At the same time, it also broke the monopoly of Forceforce and Rio Tinto on iron ore production in Western Australia.

"Oh my God! How much does that cost? Xia Wen said in surprise that he didn't know how much money was needed to dig mines, build railways and deep-water ports, but it was small

The child also understands that "this is not a small project, let alone in a country like Australia", and that the amount of money required in all aspects of China will be an extremely staggering amount.

Surprised, "Xia Wen's heart rose again. Such a big project, and I will obviously become one of the important people in charge of this project in the future! Such an opportunity "is not something that anyone can come up with."

If everything goes well, then his status in the Fang family's industry in the future will definitely surpass that of his father Summer!

"Preliminary estimates suggest that three billion to five billion dollars in expenditures may be required!" , Fang Mingyuan shrugged and said. Although the amount is considerable, Fang Mingyuan knows that "as long as this place is taken down, not to mention the strategic benefits generated by domestic iron ore imports in the future, it will not take many years to earn it back in terms of economic benefits alone." The mine was a place with incredible reserves: "The recoverable reserves of the time alone were enough to support the exploitation of 50 million tons per year for decades!"

With the price of shijie iron ore after 2,000 years, this is undoubtedly a cornucopia! But for now, "it's a sparsely populated and barren place. Even Force, Rio Tinto is reluctant to invest heavily in developing it. This gave Fang Mingyuan a chance!

"Thirty-five billion dollars!" Xia Wen gasped, only to feel a buzzing between his ears, and his mind was blank for a while!

35 billion US dollars, converted into RMB, "that is more than 26 billion to more than 42 billion yuan!" You must know that in 95 years, the annual GD output value of many provincial capitals has not reached this amount! Lin Rong looked at Xia Wen sympathetically with straight eyes and muttering to herself, and had an impulse in her heart, "Then rush out and find a camera to film this scene."

After a long time, Xia Wen returned to normal, and said with a ashamed face: "Fang Shao, let you see it." ”

Fang Mingyuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother Xia, in Australia, you have to do your best to get to know those dignitaries and celebrities. But it's important to get to know the officials and important people in Western Australia, which is important for us to invest in Western Australia in the future! Xia Wen nodded.

Fang Mingyuan glanced at Lin Rong, "Lin Rong took out a thick stack of books and materials from the bookcase in the room, which was more than half a meter high, and put them on the table.

"Here are some things you need to know before you go to Australia. Take them all with you today and hope it will help you in your work in the future. Lin Rong smiled mischievously at Xia Wen, "Especially the content about the Australian political system in it, you must take a closer look."

Xia Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly, with so many materials, "He can't move it alone." However, he is also a graduate of graduate school, and he is no stranger to the sea of books. However, he was still tǐng strange, and Lin Rong Weishenme insisted that he look at the Australian political system.

"Brother Xia, when you go to Australia to play the front station, who should be the least welcome to you?"

Lin Rong said with a smile.

"The least welcome of me?" Xia Wen turned a few times in his mind, and he was a little uncertain."

"It's supposed to be a local Australian iron ore miner, right?" I can also be regarded as going to other people's pots to gouge food, "It's normal to be unwelcome."

"Yes, there are a lot of iron ore producing companies in Australia, but the biggest ones are Force, Novo and Rio Tinto, who have been operating in Australia for many years and must see Australia as their backyard. As Australia's most famous iron ore producer, their influence in the Australian government is not comparable to ours. Lin Rong clapped her hands and said"

, "you want to open the situation in the Australian government in a short time", it will be difficult! ”

"So what does this have to do with Australia's political system?" Xia Wen was a little puzzled.

"Australia is a federal state divided into six states and two territories. Each state has its own state government, which is run by locals. The top officials of the two territories are sent by the federal government. And the cantons have a lot of independent legislative power, "the territories don't." Take, for example, Western Australia, which is "under the Australian Constitution, which retains its independence except for the division of diplomatic powers, military commands, and some legislative and judicial powers by the Coalition." Its legislative power rests in the state legislature and executive power is exercised by the Governor-General and the Cabinet appointed by the Chief Minister-General of Western Australia. Judicial power is exercised by the Supreme Court of Western Australia and the secondary court system, and the High Court of Australia has the jurisdiction of Zuihou. You understand it this way, that is, a country within a country, except for a few rights, the Australian government has no control over them! Fang Mingyuan explained.

"Huh?" Jiwen was taken aback again: "There is still such a country!"

However, he also immediately understood that Lin Rong Weishenme reminded him to pay attention to Australia's political system, doesn't that mean that as long as the officials and government of Western Australia are dealt with, the response of the Australian government can almost be ignored!

"Lihe, Rio Tinto two major companies" because they monopolize the transportation of iron ore, coupled with their own largest iron ore miners, so in Western Australia, many people are dissatisfied with them, you go to Western Australia this time, if you can make good use of this, it will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort! Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Xia Wen immediately felt a little confident in his heart.

Fang Mingyuan stood up, opened the drawer of the desk, took out an envelope from it, put it in front of Xia Wen and said, "You stay in Shanghai for two days and go back to Fengyuan, after next year's Spring Festival, you will be sent to Australia, before that" Accompany Uncle Xia and them well.

This is a little bit of my heart, please accept it! ”

Xia Wen looked at the envelope in front of him in surprise, it didn't look thick, could it be a check?

"If you don't open it yet, you'll have to take care of me then!" Lin Rong said a bunch of Xia Wendao.

"Xiexie you?" Xia Wen was even more confused: "What's the matter with Lin Rong?"

Xia Wen looked at Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan motioned for him to open it and take a look, Xia Wen picked up the envelope, and there were a few photos inside, and at the back of the photos, a series of English letters were written in the dragon and phoenix.

"Steven Spielberg!" ，@。
