………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
To enter the iron ore industry in Western Australia, at least these joints must be opened.
One is to obtain exploration rights from the government, which is the primary problem to be solved, with the mineral exploration rights in a certain piece of land, you can ensure that your rights and interests are not violated, and what you pay can be rewarded.
The second is to have enough money to maintain the operation of their own mines.
Third, it is necessary to have the right to build railways and ports, without their own ports and railways, ore can not go to sea, that is also impossible, although Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have railways, there are also ports, but want to use their existing resources to compete with them, unless they are crazy, it is impossible to achieve this wish.
Of course, in addition to these three things, there is also the most important condition, which is that you must know where to find the rich ore, and if you can't find it, everything is in vain.
In this case, few local enterprises in Western Australia have the courage and ability to compete with the two extensions, which not only means that the initial investment will exceed billions or even tens of billions of dollars, but also the later returns are difficult to guarantee that they can generate surpluses, and the most important thing is that they may face the dumping of the two extensions at any time, which is what everyone is most worried about.
Rio Tinto's position in Western Australia and even in Australia as a whole is deep-rooted, the influence is extremely deep-rooted, and Australians have become accustomed to living in their shadows. This is also the result of Australia's long-standing conservative approach.
Yang Peiqi, who owns Explorer 8, is not worried about the most important point in these joints, that is, prospecting. As for obtaining the government's exploration rights and development rights, he is also not worried, and he can do it with money. His concern is that there is not enough money to run his mine, and that there is unfair competition from the two iron ore giants.
Therefore, in the selection of prospecting sites, Yang Peiqi must be careful and careful. Not only did it have to be very easy to mine, but it also had to avoid the two iron ore giants.
The topography of Western Australia is extremely complex, there are three major desert areas in the interior, most of the state is a low plateau, 300-450 meters above sea level, the terrain is flat, the climate is dry, only the southwest corner of the coastal plain has rivers such as the Swan River, which is the main wheat and fruit producing area. The northern part is the Kimberley Plateau, and the northern and northeastern parts are inhabited by indigenous people. To the northwest is the Hammersley Ridge, which is rich in high-grade iron ore; The central and southern parts of the country are home to the Kalgoorlie gold mining district; There is the longitudinal Darling Ridge in the southwest; Widespread eastern inland deserts and semi-deserts; The coastal plain is a series of narrow strips of land.
Speaking of which, the Hammersley Mountains region is the most likely place to have large iron ore mines, but unfortunately, it has been monopolized by two iron ore giants, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and it will be extremely difficult for Yang Peiqi to intervene. The central and southern part of the country is also the Kalgoorlie gold mining area, and it is also difficult to intervene. As for the eastern inland region, it is a desert and semi-desert area, and even if there are large iron ore deposits, Yang Peiqi is not able to develop them today.
Therefore, apart from these three areas, there are not many places left for Yang Peiqi to choose, one is the north and northeast, and the other is the Darling Mountains in the southwest.
As for the coastal plain area, Yang Peiqi believes that the possibility of storing large mineral deposits is too small, and it is better not to waste energy points, because now every time you choose a detection point, it costs a lot of energy points.
Because considering that the detection of iron ore needs to reach a depth of thousands of meters, Yang Peiqi upgraded the detection range of Explorer 8, spending a total of 11,000 energy points to upgrade the detection range of Explorer 8 to level 4, that is, 10,000 meters. In such a situation, even the most basic detection of a location will cost 100 energy points at a time, and hundreds or even thousands of energy points will be required for accurate detection.
Although he still has nearly 20,000 energy points, the number of times he can detect is actually not much, and Yang Peiqi must save some of them.
After careful consideration, Yang Peiqi still chose the Darling Ridge area near Perth City, because the basic conditions here are better than those in the north and northeast, especially the transportation conditions are much better, after all, with a big city like Perth City as a backing, the development cost is much smaller.
And if you want to go to the Darling Mountain area to investigate, it is impossible for him and Li Taifu to go there, and you must find someone who is familiar with the situation in the Darling Mountain area.
It's just that Yang Peiqi doesn't have any acquaintances in Australia, and it is more difficult to find such a person.
In desperation, Yang Peiqi had to turn to the hotel for help.
Yang Peiqi stayed in a five-star hotel, or lived in the presidential suite, for such a high roller, the hotel is still very important, after learning that Yang Peiqi wants to go to the Darling Mountains to explore, need to find a tour guide who is familiar with the terrain, quickly helped Yang Peiqi find such a person.
This is a middle-aged man named Carlos who owns a used car dealership in Perth City.
"Welcome, my friend from China." Carlos opened his arms as soon as he saw Yang Peiqi, and Yang Peiqi hugged this large-tonnage Australian friend, and these superficial efforts still had to be done.
After the two met, Carlos took Yang Peiqi to the reception room of the car dealership, which was conducive to harmonious communication between the two parties, Yang Peiqi could speak fluent English, and even the translation was saved.
After some haggling, the two parties reached an employment agreement, with Yang Peiqi paying $100,000 to hire Carlos for a week to accompany him to the Darling Hills.
Carlos was obviously very happy to get such a large amount of business, and before parting, he invited Yang Peiqi to go to the nightclub he opened tonight, Yang Peiqi did not refuse, and agreed after smiling.
After the dinner in the evening, Carlos took Yang Peiqi and Li Taifu to the Monte Carlo nightclub he opened under the casino, which was magnificent, and it was simply a gold cave in the world. On the stage is a fragrant * glamorous striptease performance, several strippers are doing exaggerated movements, they have slowly taken off their clothes one by one with the music, provoking the whistles of the crowd below, cheers constantly, this is a microcosm of free life in Australia, for Yang Peiqi, he is not curious, but the super machine man Li Taifu who came with him was dumbfounded, with an eye-opening look, Yang Peiqi shook his head, is this guy a machine or a pervert?
Coming to the box, Carlos clapped his palms, and soon a group of blonde and blue-eyed foreign girls entered, all tall and scantily dressed, two of the most beautiful of them were sent to accompany Yang Peiqi, and Li Taifu also spread two.
Anyway, it's a scene to play, Yang Peiqi is not polite, hugging and hugging the two of them, he is left and right, and he has a lot of fun, since Carlos is the east to accompany him, of course he can't waste a piece of his "goodwill".
Everyone sat for a while, Yang Peiqi felt that Carlos's addiction to smoking was too great, and after entering the box, he kept smoking three cigars, and Yang Peiqi also smoked one with him at first, but he couldn't stand it anymore.
In the back, he excused himself to go to the bathroom to go out to breathe, Li Taifu was going to go out with him, but Yang Peiqi waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to.
When Yang Peiqi finished solving it comfortably in the bathroom, the conversation between the two ghosts who came in outside caught his attention.
