The largest energy consumption in the steam engine era is coal, even in the 21st century, coal is also one of the important energy sources, in addition to heating and industrial needs, coal can also be refined into coal tar, but this technology is more complicated, and the industrial tycoons in Australia have not yet announced the restoration of this technology.

Although coal tar is an important industrial raw material has not come out, but the role of coal is now not lower than it, and now Australian urban residents say that the use of cooking fuel is basically coal honeycomb coal, although honeycomb coal is polluting to a certain extent, but it is much better than burning wood.

Tang Wei knew this, and the large-scale construction of steamships would inevitably use a large amount of coal, so he turned his attention to minerals.

According to the information provided by Anlan, Australia can be said to be very desperately short of coal, and the storage of coal is very low, and in later generations, it basically relied on importing coal from Kalimantan, Indonesia, which is also Indonesia's main coal export base.

At present, there are Spain and the Netherlands, and the Portuguese are all in power, these three forces are not the most important, and there are several Muslim kingdoms flying on the whole island of Borneo, such as Majin, Sanfa, Suqdana, Landak, etc. The Sucadana rulers owe allegiance to the Muslim kingdom of Mataram in Java.

It can be said that the power on the island is complicated, and even the Dutch, who are very strong in Southeast Asia, do not completely rule here, so mining here means declaring war on the countries on the island, and at the same time dealing with relations with the other three European countries.

After having an idea. Tang Wei did not rush to act immediately, but made a silent observation in Manchester City, and then said to An Lan. Liu Yun, Zhao Shijie and others who had been in contact with each other issued invitations.

Tang Wei's invitation to these people for dinner made the other traversers feel strange for a while, thinking that he was trying to win over these people to speak for him, but in fact, Tang Wei wanted to have a cooperative conversation with these people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Blackwater is where it is today and you have a share of the credit. If you hadn't voted in favor of it, there would not be the glory of Blackwater today, and I sincerely thank you. I know there are bad rumors about Blackwater, but rest assured, Blackwater will never do anything against everyone's ideals, and there will never be any self-respecting situation. ”

Jiang Junbo raised a small glass in his hand and toasted to everyone. Most of the time he does this kind of thing. Tang Wei smiled on the side, because he was not good at drinking.

"I know everyone is worried about the Blackwater matter, but I think everyone will be relieved soon, and we have decided to invite the military and the Department of Homeland Security to invest in the Blackwater Preservation Company, which is also a kind of regulation of Blackwater." After Jiang Junbo finished speaking, everyone was surprised, this was obviously giving up and continuing to bargain, which was completely different from himself and the rumors.

What the hell is going on. Could it be that the two of them suddenly became enlightened, or that the military was ready to intervene. By the way, there is also the Department of Homeland Security, a department that controls the military and a department that controls intelligence, and I am afraid that they will not be able to express their opposition if they want to.

Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Tang Wei took a bite of food and ate it and continued: "Do you have money to earn together, giving the military and national security is a little contribution we have made to the country, in the past two years, in order to make money, the two of us have no time to scruple to move around with everyone more and have not made our own contribution to the development of the country, so we are ready to make a small contribution to the country this time, and we don't have to be too surprised." ”

Contribute to the country, Tang Wei said this, no one will believe this reason, how can I not see that others are willing to give shares to the country when I go through the sea of making money in the crowd, there seems to be some conspiracy in this, looking at Liu Yunmo's silent expression who has been eating vegetables on the side, everyone is even more sure that there is definitely an article here.

As for what the article is, everyone still can't guess, but one thing is certain, once the military and national security become shareholders of Blackwater, the matter of Blackwater may be easily resolved, and the threat theory will be self-defeating. In addition, Blackwater will also be protected by these two powers, and whoever wants to do bad to Blackwater in the future will have to think about it.

Affirming this, everyone has to admire Tang Wei's wisdom at this time, whoever is fat must be stupid, you see this guy is obviously very fine, and he is about to arrive at the phoenix chick, it is said that the phoenix chick is the fattest among the strategists named Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Old Tang, you really thought about it, I thought you wanted us to help today," An Lan replied with a relaxed smile, saying that if Tang Wei asked them for help, he really didn't know how to answer.

"Don't worry, Chubby, this time I'm just looking for you to get together and connect with each other, and at the same time, I have a business to talk to you about, especially with Chubby, you are the most related."

"And me," An Lan asked, pointing to his nose, what kind of business could be related to him, the Liguo Mining Company he established can be said to be the largest private mineral mining company in Australia at present, and the scale is not much inferior to China Mining.

Li Kuo can become a mining powerhouse, and An Lan's major can be said to be inseparable, known as the geography madman, An Xiaopang is simply a living geographical encyclopedia, he basically knows how much mineral storage is in various places.

As long as he wants to grasp the knowledge of this point, he can basically buy all the land distributed in Australia for minerals, of course, this will also bring him a lot of trouble, in order to reduce the trouble, he also invited many powerful people to join the shares, which can be regarded as forming a vested interest alliance.

Now that I heard Tang Wei say that it was related to him, he naturally thought of the mineral aspect, could it be that he was preparing to enter the mining industry, and Heishui's reserves were almost the largest among all enterprises, and there was really such a possibility.

Once Blackwater participates in the mining industry, it will inevitably be a strong opponent, and the other party has enough cash reserves to enclose land on a large scale, which is incomparable to everyone.

"I am ready to develop towards the mining industry, Blackwater will become a diversified company in the future, and it is also a Blackwater transformation, whether it can succeed depends on your support." Tang Wei stared at An Lan with a smile. didn't say how to support, just looked at the other party and waited for his reply.

There was a moment of silence, and everyone present waited for An Lan's words, and it wasn't until a minute later that An Lan asked, "What do you need me to do." ”

"Come, let's eat the vegetables first, let's talk slowly." Tang Wei got the reply at this time and was not in a hurry, and greeted everyone politely. (To be continued......)
