Finally, Barnett asked Yang Peiqi, "Mr. Yang, when will your company's investment be in place?" ”

Investment is a very important thing, if nothing else, just to build a railway, even if it is an ordinary electrified railway, the cost of a kilometer of railway will be about 8 million Australian dollars, Yang Peiqi will build at least 50 kilometers of railways here, which is equivalent to 400 million Australian dollars.

Although there are two ports near Fremantle and Banbury near the prospecting area chosen by Yang Peiqi, these two ports are not large, and they must be rebuilt to dock the ocean-going giant ships transporting iron ore. This investment is also in the form of 100 million Australian dollars.

Therefore, Barnett is very concerned about when the investment in Explorer Mining will be available, and he also needs to write this matter into his political achievements.

Like those officials in China, Australian officials also need political achievements if they want to be motivated, but the difference is that they need political achievements to win the votes of voters, while Chinese officials need political achievements to win the approval of leaders.

"Regarding the problem of funding, we intend to use market-oriented operations to solve it." Yang Peiqi replied confidently.

In order for this project to operate, I am afraid that the funds required will be more than one billion Australian dollars, and when converted into Chinese dollars, it may exceed seven billion. With his current capital, how could he get so much money? Therefore, the only way to do this is to take the path of market financing.

After Explorer Mining decided to come to Western Australia to open a mine, it decided on the strategy of backdoor listing. At this moment, Explorer Mining has sent a team led by Vice President Sun Wanru and CEO Chen Xiaoqiang to Hong Kong. Acquisition of a publicly traded mining company.

After listening to Yang Peiqi's words, Barnett understood. In fact. Barnett also knows a thing or two about Yang Peiqi's Explorer Mining, a newly formed company. All the capital is nothing more than $100 million. With such capital, Barnett is very skeptical about making a big project that requires billions of Australian dollars.

Originally, he thought that Yang Peiqi might be the spokesperson sent by those large state-owned enterprises in China, after all, this explorer mining appeared too suddenly, and Yang Peiqi, the boss, was even more unknown before this. But now it's strange to suddenly invest $100 million to set up a mining company.

For a long time, China's state-owned enterprises have wanted to enter Australia to develop minerals. However, due to various constraints, he has not been able to make the trip. In such a situation, it is normal to support a spokesperson.

However, now Yang Peiqi actually said that she was going to take a market-oriented way to raise funds, which made Barnett a little incomprehensible.

In fact, Barnett believes that market-based means can raise part of the financing, but the entire investment will probably require hundreds of millions or even billions of Australian dollars, which does not seem to be solved by market financing. Even dare to invest your hard-earned money in? None of you are stupid!

But Yang Peiqi is from Huaxia after all, and her identity is doubtful. Although he claimed that he had no connection with the state-owned enterprises in China, it did not rule out Barnett's suspicions. If he is really the spokesperson who has been fostered by some powerful people in China, then his source of funds is definitely not a problem. So he didn't feel like he had anything to worry about.

Besides, even if this project doesn't work out in the end, for the Western Australian government. There was also not much to lose. And I will receive the exploration right transfer fee immediately, which is also a lot of income.

……

Financing. It is necessary to have very clever propaganda methods, and in fact, there are many acts of capital in mainland China. As for the official means of financing, it is naturally listed.

However, there is a common problem with the listing of domestic companies, the stock market is the cash machine of state-owned enterprises, and once it is listed, it means that a company that looks high-sounding and has high-quality assets will go downhill. As time goes by, what awaits it is a decline in performance, losses, ST, *ST, and then delisting, bankruptcy and liquidation.

And among them, it is the hard-earned money of countless people that has been transferred and turned into wealth in the hands of a few.

Even so, the number of domestic companies listed on the market is also very tight, not only to run through the local relations, but also to go to the various joints in the capital of Datong, and finally there may be a chance to achieve this grand goal, for private enterprises, except for a few typical companies established in China, few people will be able to get the approval of listing.

Although at the 15 th National Congress of the ruling party in China, it has been proposed that private enterprises are an important part of the national economy, until now, 15 years later, in the eyes of many people, private enterprises still belong to the mother-up.

If it is listed abroad, it will be much looser.

After all, everyone's investment ideas are different in foreign countries, there is not only speculation in the stock market, but also investment opportunities, investors like Buffett can succeed abroad, but if you want to invest in China, it is estimated that he will not even have a coffin book left, which is due to the different national conditions.

But for Yang Peiqi, if she wants to make money in the stock market, it is difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is simple to say that it is simple. There is just one problem that needs to be solved, which is to make investors see the profitability of Explorer Mining, so that they will be interested in the prospects of Explorer Mining, and then they will be happy to buy the shares issued by the company.

Yang Peiqi thinks this is very simple.

……

At the end of February, Sun Wanru called Yang Peiqi, who was still in Western Australia, saying that the backdoor listing had been completed. Explorer Mining spent HK$400 million to acquire a 67% stake in a Hong Kong-listed mining company.

At the same time, the employees of Explorer Mining have entered the intense exploration and measurement process, hundreds of technicians hired from China began to carry the equipment around in the Darling Mountains, in order to improve efficiency, Yang Peiqi also ordered his subordinates to rent more than a dozen helicopters, which greatly accelerated the exploration process.

Originally, it was difficult to find iron ore buried thousands of meters deep underground with the exploration equipment that Explorer Mining now has, but this was difficult for Yang Peiqi, who directly spent more than one million energy points to exchange a set of detection equipment at Explorer 8. Such equipment can detect metal deposits buried up to 10,000 meters underground.

For this set of super equipment provided by Yang Peiqi, his subordinates are very curious, but Yang Peiqi has no intention of revealing the source of these equipment, and they can only hide their curiosity deep in their hearts.

With such advanced equipment, the exploration process is smooth. At the beginning of March, the exploration team used the same equipment to discover the underground iron ore at the place where Yang Peiqi first discovered the mineral deposits.

After receiving the news, the person in charge of the exploration team was naturally very excited, and immediately assigned his subordinates to step up the measurement around the iron mine, and it turned out that this piece of land, which was once abandoned by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, was actually an iron ore with reserves of more than two billion tons. This alone is enough to shake the world, and Explorer Mining does not have to worry about not recovering the cost of investment.

After that, a succession of good news came, in the underground of the Darling Mountains, Explorer Mining discovered more than 10 billion tons of iron ore reserves, of which high-grade ore accounted for more than 6 billion tons, it can be said that it can be smelted directly without even purification.

By the time the head of the exploration team reported the good news to Yang, he had already returned to China.

Getting this news, Yang Peiqi was a little dumbfounded, Nima, didn't Explorer No. 8 tell him that the reserves of the underground iron ore are only more than two billion tons? How did it become more than 10 billion tons now?

Then, Yang Peiqi got an explanation from Explorer 8.

It turns out that this has a lot to do with the detection range of Explorer 8. Because the current detection range of Explorer 8 is only 10,000 meters, in the underground, especially in places where iron ore is abundant, this detection range is weakened by Yanzhòng, and the detection depth is only about 8,000 meters.

Under such conditions, a large part of the iron ore underground must be undetectable.

However, the current situation of the exploration team is different, and the set of exploration equipment that Yang Peiqi has exchanged with Huàn can really explore to a depth of 10,000 meters underground with the support of sufficient electricity. Moreover, now that the exploration team has obtained the exploration rights of that area, they can use the drill bit to drill and expand the exploration depth after discovering the mineral deposits, so as to carry out more accurate exploration. This was impossible for Yang Peiqi when he was probing, because the conditions at that time did not allow him to do so.

Yang Peiqi suddenly realized after listening to Explorer Eight's explanation, and at the same time secretly explained why he suddenly made a mistake. Because after discovering some mineral deposits in the Darling Mountains, he got a lot of energy points, and he could further upgrade the detection range of Explorer 8, so that he could get the reserves of that iron ore more accurately, but he was overly excited, but he didn't expect this at all.

The news of Explorer Mining's discovery of a super-large iron ore in the Darling Mountains region of Western Australia has caused a big shock to the world. In particular, some large iron ore consumers and the three major iron ore giants have reacted most violently to this. After all, this 10 billion tons of high-grade iron ore can change the balance of the international iron ore market today. (To be continued......)
