Chapter 396: Phosphate Ore
Chapter 396 Phosphate Mine
In the pub
As several people were discussing enthusiastically, Mai Guangtian came in from the outside wet, holding a towel in his hand to wipe the water stains, and his embarrassed appearance caused everyone to laugh.
"Brother Hirota, how come you are so embarrassed?"
"Hey, don't say anything, I don't worry about the heavy rain. I patrolled the construction site in the rain, but I didn't notice when I stepped on the puddle and fell over, making my body covered with mud."
"Hahaha... Don't panic, just tell the store associate to come to my house and get a set of dry clothes for you to put on." Lu Qiang couldn't help laughing, and stood up and walked outside to call the store associate, so and so. After an explanation, he took out two copper pennies for a reward.
The shop assistant repeatedly thanked him for the reward, and went flying.
At this time, the restaurant’s drinks and dishes came up like a stream of water. Everyone was a good friend who had been with each other for many years, and started drinking with a smile.
Not long after the banquet went on, the shop staff had already brought dry clothes. After Mai Guangtian went to the next room to change, he returned to sit down and the atmosphere on the banquet became more and more heated.
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The topic of several people talked about immigration again. The mayor Li Siyuan drank the wine in one cup, put down the wine glass and looked at several people and said;
"Don’t hide it from you, at the beginning of the year
Led by the State Autonomous Office, the Red Fort Secretariat, the immigration department, the nineteenth century United Airlines, the Red River Valley Industrial Corporation, the Red River Textile Plant and other major companies, as well as the heads of more than a dozen towns in northern Queensland, are all in Red River Valley. A mobilization meeting was held. The four major cities and towns of Darwin, Cairns, Qingdao and Brisbane were determined at the meeting. All immigrants from the northern region arrived in the above four cities first, and then assigned to the inland cities and towns as needed.
If you don’t talk about other people’s things, just say ours...
The construction of our town is inseparable from immigrants. The workers in textile factories are mainly immigrants. Therefore, this year’s immigration plan is light and heavy. As the scale of newly expanded cities gradually takes shape, immigrants are gradually increasing.
The most important time point for resettlement is the progress of the textile factory. The core work of the town is to cooperate with the construction of the textile factory, resettle the resettlers first, and conduct pre-production training.
From now to June, there will be one ship of migrants with no less than 3,000 people arriving every month. From June to December, there will be 2~3 migrants arriving every month. The number will be even more next year.
Of course
Not all of these immigrants were given to us in Qingdao, as well as the surrounding Linyi Town, Townsville Town, Jinan Town, and Yantai Town. The immigrants gathered in our Qingdao and then transported them by water and land.
In our town, the population size will reach 35,000 by the end of the year. The air route connecting the inland river will be opened in April. The port project will be completed and put into use in August. The total number is more than 6000 people.
In terms of construction of surrounding towns
The most important supporting project is the thermal power plant in Townsville. It is expected to be completed and put into operation at the end of October. The long-distance DC transmission power station to Qingdao Town will also be completed simultaneously, and no less than three private coal mines will be initially built to provide local firepower. The power station provides a reliable supply of coal.
The development of mineral resources in Linyi Town is a little behind. After all, no one is short of iron ore now, and no one wants to mine it.
The main task of Linyi Town this year is to develop phosphate mines. After the opening of the inland waterway, it will continuously send mineral resources to Qingdao Town..."
Speaking of which
Li Siyuan raised his head triumphantly, and said with some pride; "According to the deployment of superiors, the phosphate processing plant is located in our Qingdao town. This is the town's key construction project next year, and it is also a major construction project no less than the 13th woolen factory. , Will drive the economic take-off of Qingdao Town."
"Phosphate mine, what's the use of this stuff?" Zhao Qishan was confused.
"Ha ha ha..."
Li Siyuan smiled leisurely without saying a word. He is the first high-achieving student of Red River Valley University. He has served at the grassroots level for many years. The knowledge and talents are far beyond the comparison of these few local wealthy owners.
He held out his chopsticks and pushed aside the pile of beef from the dish, picking up a piece of potato soaked with beef flavor, and chewing in his mouth, feeling the rich aroma from the taste buds, and clicked with approval. nod.
"The potatoes are good."
Zhao Qishan glanced at the big pot of potato stew on the table. Each piece of beef was cut as big as an egg. It seemed that the sauce was rich and trembling, and it was very soft and waxy. The beef broth had fully infiltrated the potatoes, and the taste was of course one. Grade stick.
Mai Guangtian and Lu Qiang are flying with chopsticks, eating meat and drinking, so unhappy!
Zhao Qishan didn’t put his thoughts on the food and drink, and he raised the bowl in his hand and said to Li Siyuan; “Brother Siyuan, we are all big brothers. I don’t know the mystery. I would like to ask you, a talented person, to help us clarify. Thinking, analyze, come, I will toast you first."
"Well, do you think Townsville Town or Linyi Town has a brighter future development prospects?" Li Siyuan touched the other party with the wine bowl in his hand, drank a sip of wine in his mouth, and passed the test. .
Zhao Qishan took a sip and put down his wine bowl. He hesitated and said, "After the thermal power plant is completed, Townsville will be able to continuously supply us with electricity. They are also a beef cattle breeding area. The development of private ranches is going well. I I think it should be stronger than Linyi Town."
"Yes, I think so too." Lu Qiang chewed on a large piece of beef and followed vaguely.
Everyone knows that a large iron ore deposit has been discovered in Linyi Town, but no one takes it seriously.
Which place in Australia can lack iron ore?
this age
The steel output produced in Australia is hundreds of thousands of tons per year. The Hongshan Mine’s reserves can be produced for dozens or hundreds of years. The Longmen Iron and Steel Plant on Shangri-La Island is still under construction. There are abundant iron ore resources in the area. Need to be externally adjusted.
Unless a steel plant is built in Linyi Town, the economic prospects are far less bright than Townsville Town looks. After all, you have to pay for electricity production, which is a big source of money.
For Townsville, which has a population of only a few thousand people, the benefits are rich enough.
"Wrong, wrong."
Li Siyuan shook his head, expressing his disagreement with Zhao Qishan’s judgment. His words caught the attention of the brothers. Zhao Qishan smiled cheerfully and said; “I would like to hear about brother Siyuan’s insight.”
"Then I will tell you a little bit." Li Siyuan put down his chopsticks and said with his hand pulling the dishes on the table;
"Phosphate is a relatively unfamiliar salt chemical term, but it is ubiquitous in our lives. First of all, phosphorus is an essential mineral element for the human body. The way for the human body to consume you is natural food and food natural phosphate additives.
In recent years
The international academic community has generally recognized the importance of phosphate, and has begun to be widely used in food processing, including beef and mutton products, poultry products, fruits, various canned foods, seafood, vegetables, dairy products, wheat baked foods and Seasonings can keep food longer, taste better, look better, and have better quality.
And this is just one aspect of the application of phosphate products. From this we can see how much of an effect it has on us. It is simply a natural helper of Australian agricultural and animal husbandry products and has an indispensable and important role.
Besides
Phosphate is also widely used in detergents, metal smelting, building materials medicine, feed and other fields. It is a salt chemical product with a wide range of application scenarios. It has a wide range of needs all over the world. As long as it is produced, there is no need to worry about the market.
As farmers, you should know that guano produced in Chile is a good helper for fertilizer fields, and can almost double the yield of the fields. But you don’t know that phosphate is the main ingredient in making phosphate fertilizers. The phosphate mine in Linyi Town is very suitable for large-scale fertilizers. Large-scale industrial production is enough to support the prosperity and development of this area for a century.
In the central area headed by Qingdao Town, Linyi Town has the broadest future development prospects. It is possible to build a medium-sized industrial city led by salt and chemical industry, and there is huge room for imagination.
Guys, Linyi Town is not as simple as you think. "

So awesome?
How could Zhao Qishan think of this, each of them was dazzled and asked in a daze; "Listen to you, phosphate mine is a baby!"
"Of course, a great treasure out and about."
"The mine hasn't been developed yet, can we get in and get a share of the pie next year?"
"Hehe, don't be delusional."
"Why?"
Li Siyuan chuckled and said; “First of all, the development of phosphate mines is an overall large project. From mine development, transportation, processing to market sales, the total investment is millions of pounds, and the difficulties involved are countless.
Don’t say anything else
Simply speaking of the world sales market, without extensive channels and deep background, it is equivalent to sending a big fat sheep to be swallowed up by life, and it can only end with a miserable death.
Secondly, the overall development of phosphate mines requires a mineral development certificate issued by the State Autonomous Office, which requires ownership of thousands of square kilometers of land in the surrounding area, with a total value of more than 600,000 pounds.
Plus the related construction costs, this is an astronomical figure, not a game that everyone can play. "
Oh, I see.
Everyone suddenly realized that Lu Qiang was the first to understand, and said first; “In this way, only the company under the command of Lord Earl has the strength to develop, and we can just grab some noodle soup leftovers.”
"That’s right. It is said that Hongbao has established a mineral management office, under the jurisdiction of Longmen Mining Bureau and Linyi Mining Bureau. Linyi Mining Bureau is the main body specializing in the development of phosphate mines and will establish a series of companies in charge of mineral development. Transportation, production and sales, because the entire project is very large, so the relevant preparations are very cumbersome and will be postponed to start development next year." Li Siyuan finally revealed his trump card. He looked at Zhao Qishan and said; "You don't have to be discouraged, Phosphate Processing Factory Built in our Qingdao town, no matter whether it is a vegetable, vegetable, agricultural and sideline product base or transportation, we can take part in it. The soup is enough to support us."
