Chapter 139: Two Billion Dollars!
Bow and thank "mfive", "the road to love", and "916929" for each 100 tips!
These government workers stayed at the Tang Mine for a total of three days, during which time these guys had a very detailed understanding of all kinds of information about the mine, including the general burial scope and depth of the newly discovered precious metal ore in the Tang Mine.
Originally, these data belonged to the trade secrets of the mine, but under the threat of being issued a notice of closure by the water conservancy department, Tang Feng and Sam had to produce these data, and hoped that these government workers would not stop the mining work of the Tang mine in the light of the shallow burial depth of the mine.
But the fact is very ruthless, just as Tang Feng feared, when these government workers fully understood all the situation, directly issued a notice to the Queensland mining authority to "suspend the mining work of Tang Mining Company in Kajabi Mine", the reasons listed above are very simple, but the lethality is huge - after careful investigation on the spot, it was determined that once this mine enters the mining operation, it will directly threaten the safety of Julius Lake, It will also cause significant damage to the rock formations in the vicinity of the reservoir protection area, so it is recommended that the Queensland mining authorities immediately revoke the mining lease of Down's Mining Company on this mine.
The Queensland mining authorities were also very happy, and the day after the notice was issued, the staff of the Queensland mining authorities arrived at the Tang mine and directly announced the revocation of the mining lease of the Tang Mining Company in the area.
The mining lease was declared invalid, which meant that the Tang Dynasty could not mine in this mine! Otherwise, it would be a violation of Commonwealth law, which can result in a hefty fine and expulsion from Australia, up to jail time. And without a mining lease, you can't even hire mining workers, and you're still mining fart mines!
Tang Feng had the intention of appealing administratively, but in the end, under Sam's persuasion, he could only swallow this bitter fruit helplessly.
At this time, Tang Feng felt regretful, he knew that this kind of thing would happen, and he stayed away from that damn reservoir when he was condensing the ore veins, so that no one could catch his loopholes. But now that the facts have been formed, it is too late to regret it.
This also made Tang Feng fully feel his insignificance, even if he now has a big killer like a star core, but before he fully grows up, in front of those mining tycoons, he is nothing at all.
Those mining tycoons can easily play themselves in the palm of their hands, and they have nothing to do.
At the same time, Tang Feng finally realized the ruthlessness of the methods and the viciousness of the vision of those mining tycoons. Who the hell would have thought that a broken reservoir could shut down a precious metal mine worth tens of billions of dollars? How much is that reservoir? As long as this mine can be mined, it is not a problem for Lao Tzu to build a reservoir for them for free!
But the law doesn't pay attention to this, you violate the law, no matter what the reason, then you have to accept the punishment!
"Wind, this must be the damn Stanton's work, and he's the only one who has the means to do that! Otherwise, there are so many large mines near Lake Mundara, north of Mount Issa, why is there no one to take care of them? They're not even a kilometre away from Lake Mondara at Billiton's Cannington silver mine, but they haven't seen the damn bitches from the Queensland mining authorities. What do you care? Sam was also angry, and whined at Tang Feng who was sitting in the chair.
Tang Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Sam, we can't blame others for this matter, we can only blame ourselves for not paying attention to these problems!" ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"Hmph, what should I do? Cold! Tang Feng said something extremely irresponsible as if venting, and then said with a cold face: "This time the incident must be that. Child-raised Bob. Stanton made it. Doesn't he just want our mine? Lao Tzu just didn't let him succeed! Even if this mine can't be mined, this land still belongs to me, and you Mr. Cannibal wants me to mine this mine, and if you don't give me enough compensation, you won't get this land! ”
Sam's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't mine the mineral deposits here, but that didn't mean BHP Billiton didn't have the ability to do so. As Australia's largest company, BHP Billiton has no problem handling this. Compared with the situation that Tang's Mining cannot be mined and has to suffer huge losses, if BHP Billiton comes to buy this land, then Tang's Mining must be compensated.
The requirements for mining exploration and mining in Australia and Canada are similar to those for landowners, for example, in the current situation, BHP Billiton wants to explore and mine the area that is located on private land owned by Tang, then BHP Billiton must first obtain Tang's written consent before carrying out various surveys or mining operations on this land. And if Tang Feng does not agree with your BHP Billiton's behavior, then even BHP Billiton has no choice.
Perhaps BHP Billiton will take other measures, such as asking the state government to forcibly expropriate the land for other reasons, then even if the state government forcibly expropriates the land, it will need to negotiate compensation with Tang, and if the two sides cannot reach an agreement on the amount negotiated, then Tang Feng can even sue the Queensland state government in the Supreme Court of the Federal Court of Australia.
After all, the value of this land is here, twenty meters below the ground is a precious metal mine worth tens of billions of dollars, although mining costs money, but even so, mining operations on this land will bring at least four billion dollars of net profits to the miners!
This kind of data is all on the surface, and the most accurate figures can be obtained from a casual investigation, so the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Australia will definitely pronounce a judgment based on the true value of the land. Even the Supreme Court of Australia would not dare to cause public outrage in such a matter. After all, in Australia, the constitution stipulates that private property is sacred and inviolable, and if the Queensland government forcibly infringes on private property by this means, it will definitely cause unease among other Australian citizens, which will easily cause social unrest. Such a consequence, even BHP Billiton and the Supreme Court, cannot afford it.
This is the foundation of a country, and no one is stupid enough to try to shake this foundation!
As a lawyer, Sam certainly knows what this is about, so Sam's face is also cloudy, and he said with some excitement: "Without a billion dollars in compensation, they don't want to take this land!" Our barristers at McKenzie will make them understand something! ”
Tang Feng sneered and said, "A billion dollars? Do you really think that those precious metal mines under our feet are a master? I'll tell you Sam, if they don't honestly give me two billion dollars, I promise they won't get anything! ”
