And after detecting this super iron mine, Yang Peiqi also got a huge amount of energy points.

Although iron ore is only a ninth-level substance, and the energy points are still measured in tons, the reserves of this iron ore are too large, more than one billion tons! Therefore, Yang Peiqi directly obtained more than 100 million energy points at once. This is just the material energy points of huàn, once he wins the mining rights of this iron mine in the future, after mining these iron ores, he can get more energy points one after another.

At this moment, Yang Peiqi finally has the feeling of being a rich man.

After detecting this super iron mine, Yang Peiqi was in a good mood, but he did not end the trip in a hurry, but leisurely followed Carlos and his party to continue the planned "journey".

In the following week, Yang Peiqi discovered several mineral deposits, including gold, bauxite, and iron ore. However, the reserves are not large, only one bauxite reserves are considerable, with more than 8 million tons, which is a slightly smaller medium-sized bauxite deposit.

And after discovering these mineral deposits, Yang Peiqi got a lot of energy points, zero and zero total, and now he has more than 110 million energy points!

By the time Yang Peiqi finished this "journey" and returned to Perth, it had been almost two weeks since he arrived in Perth, and the time had already entered mid-February.

When Yang Peiqi returned to Perth, the explorer company that received Yang Peiqi's news had sent a negotiation team to Western Australia to discuss the mining with the Western Australian government.

Since 1996, when a coalition of Australian Liberal and National parties defeated the ruling Labor Party under Howard's leadership, Australia has pursued more aggressive economic policies. And the policy still has its inertia, even if the person who is now in power has been replaced by Gillard of the Communist Party, the first female prime minister in Australian history, this policy has not changed.

It is not so easy to turn back the clock on history.

For a long time, Australia has had a system of fiscal equalization. The implementation of the first system means that for the past 100 years, the central government has adhered to the principle of fairness and equality, ensuring that citizens across the country, whether living in remote rural areas, in the north or in Perth, can enjoy the same level of government services at the same or as close to the same price as possible.

Collecting money from wealthy areas and redistributing it to less affluent areas ensures that citizens across the country have access to health care, education, and other government services. In fact, Sydney's tax dollars can even be redistributed to Tasmania to ensure that people there can enjoy these benefits as well.

The Liberal-National coalition government headed by Howard came to power in 1996 and began to advocate a free-market economic management style.

He actively advocated reforms, vigorously adjusted economic policies, emphasized more work and more rewards, safeguarded the interests of the petty bourgeoisie, and paid attention to unemployment and other issues related to people's vital interests.

Howard's goal was for everyone to have a job and live a relaxed and comfortable family life. To this end, he has taken effective measures to improve the competitiveness of Australian business, eliminate bureaucracy, sell large state-owned companies, reform the tax system, improve the labour market, and promote microeconomic reforms.

The issue of trade unions has always been the main disagreement between the Labour Party and the Liberal Party, with the Labour Party advocating the protection of workers' treatment through the guò unions, and the Liberal Party advocating a system of incentives for more work. Trade unions play a very important role in Australian society, and the successive Prime Ministers of the Labor Party have all been trade union leaders, and the role of trade unions is even more unusual in the era when the Labor Party is in power.

Howard stressed the need to limit the monopoly power of trade unions in wage negotiations, explicitly outlawed solidarity strikes, and sought to create a method of protecting workers' interests while implementing pay-for-work, and Howard also attacked the welfare policies of the former Labour government.

The Labor government's social security and welfare policies are known as lazy policies, and the policy of excessive protection is one of the reasons why Australia's personal income tax is as high as 49%, and new immigrants can apply for various benefits as soon as they enter Australia.

The Howard administration reformed this costly and over-benevolent system by requiring new immigrants to reside for two years before they could apply for assistance from the Department of Social Welfare. At the same time, Howard advocated financial reform and deregulation.

In order to open up the Chinese market, he elevated the development of Australia-China relations to the most important diplomatic strategy of his government. In April 1997, Howard led a delegation of 18 leading figures in the Australian business community to visit China, which was hailed by Australia's most influential newspaper as the Prime Minister's Chinese Revolution.

Since then, foreign investors have been welcomed by the Australian government, especially in Western Australia, which was the poorest and most eager for foreign investment.

Even though fifteen years have passed since then, Western Australia has made great progress in these fifteen years, but after forming a habit, Western Australia has always been very welcoming to foreign business.

Especially now the Governor of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, is still a person close to China, and Colin Barnett has said in public more than once that Chinese businessmen are welcome to invest in Western Australia.

Therefore, after the Australian ambassador to China contacted the Western Australian government through the explorer mining company, expressing the intention to invest in mining in Western Australia, and the investment scale is at least 50 million Australian dollars, the Western Australian government still attaches more importance to it. Even after Explorer Minerals arrived in Perth, the Western Australian government held a welcome party for Explorer Mining. And at the welcome meeting, there was also a government representative, a key official of the state government of Western Australia, called Henderson, who served as an economic adviser in the state government.

"On behalf of Governor Barnett, I would like to greet Mr. Young to the state government in due course, and I look forward to welcoming Mr. Young to Perth." Henderson said, holding Yang Peiqi's hand.

Yang Peiqi smiled and expressed her intentions, and then said, "I think, there is no problem." ”

The area of Australia's state is relatively large, but the population is very small, if you look at the area of the state, or can top several provinces in the country, but from the perspective of population, it may only be equivalent to a large and medium-sized city, so Yang Peiqi feels that a governor is equivalent to a domestic prefecture-level city leader, there is really no big deal, if in the country, know that there is a large investor who may invest four or five billion yuan to invest, how can it be to wait for his own visit, I've been running over to meet him for a long time.

Looking at the reaction here in Western Australia, although it is also more important, the gap is still very large, so Yang Peiqi muttered in her heart that Australia's bureaucratic style is still relatively strong.

However, their bureaucratic style is stronger, and it is more suitable for them to come here to develop, otherwise once the atmosphere is opened up and the efficiency is improved, it will be more difficult for them to eat alone.

Therefore, Yang Peiqi is also very enthusiastic about Henderson.

Henderson is still very satisfied with Yang Peiqi's enthusiasm, after all, he knows very well that the young man in his early twenties in front of him is a rich man with a net worth of more than 100 million Australian dollars. Even now in the 2010s, there are still not many such rich people in Australia, especially in Western Australia. Such a rich man is so enthusiastic about himself, he really has a lot of face.

So the guests and hosts had a very happy conversation, and Yang Peiqi intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the exploration and mining of iron ore.

"It is very easy to obtain exploration rights, and now the area of undeveloped land in Western Australia is very large, but the rich minerals are monopolized by large companies such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, which I believe you are also very clear about, Mr. Yang, if you want to continue to explore in other areas, it is difficult, the investment and time consumed will be very long, and there may not be a corresponding return." Henderson didn't think much about it when he heard Yang Peiqi mention this question, so he answered him directly.

The reason why Henderson and others have such a negative attitude may have a lot to do with the progress of mineral development in Western Australia over the years. In fact, Liangtuo has indeed monopolized the iron ore business in Western Australia, and it is very difficult for others to get involved, and it is not easy to get through the relationship with the government.

After all, it is impossible to explore and mine without official permits.
