v5 Chapter 473: Opportunity in the cracks

Although Perth’s scenery is infinitely good, Fan Wubing didn’t come to travel, and he was concerned about how to take down his mining area as soon as possible and build it.

As the director of the Fan Investment Group in Perth, Carter had long been in contact with Hydes and others, and had some contacts with Governor Skye. Therefore, he immediately launched public relations activities in accordance with the requirements of his boss, Fan Wuyi, to help Fan Wuyi and Fan. Skye’s meeting has done the preliminary preparations. Some things that require in-depth conversations should start at this time. Naturally, they can't wait for the bosses to discuss the details in person.

Maximus is more interested in Perth and Fremantle Port. There is a sailing competition here. As a hobby of sailing, Maximus is naturally not to be missed. Therefore, Fan Wuyi rented a small plane by himself, let the pilot carry him, and brought two guides familiar with the mining area to inspect the actual situation of the Pilbara mining area in the air.

The area of ​​the Pilbara mining area is very large. Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have almost occupied the best positions. What Fan Wuyao wants to obtain is the part that has not been explored, as well as the part that has not been explored by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. Discard parts of shallow mineral deposits that are not in use.

Judging from the map, the total area of ​​these places has exceeded at least 100,000 square kilometers, and they have a lot of open space. This is also a big gap for Fan Wuyi's hope to open up the Australian iron ore market.

There are many private jets in Australia. It feels that Australians driving private jets are just as natural as Chinese riding motorcycles to the streets. Because of the vast land in Western Australia, many farmers have their own private jets, and the price is not expensive at tens of thousands. Or hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars can be done, as long as there is a section of road or relatively flat ground can take off and land, very convenient.

If the Americans once had cowboys on horsebacks, then these Western Australian farmers are now cowboys flying in the sky and the territories they have to look after are indeed sparse.

Fan’s pilot who rented this private jet is named Kai Moore. He is in his forties. He looks very healthy. He is eating chewing gum and humming Australian folk songs that he doesn’t know what the tune is. A very happy look.

And their planes often showed two acrobatics in the sky, which made Fan Wuyi a little nervous, lest he toss the small plane down.

The two guides who accompanied Fan Wuyi said to him, "Don't worry, Kay Moore has more than 4,000 hours of flying experience and has experienced various complicated flying environments."

"Drowning places are all swimming places. Four thousand hours of flying experience does not explain any problems." Fan Wuyi firmly grasped the chair and held the hand in front of him to perform acrobatics, said Camer. "In the early days of the Korean War, there were incidents where the ace pilots of the US military were beaten down by rookies. Anything can happen in the sky."

After returning to the mining area. Kaymor was much more honest and drove the plane steadily and circulated several circles over the mining area according to the planned route. Fan Wubing also carefully observed the situation on the ground from the porthole. Including nearby areas belonging to Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, forests, rivers and railways. Mark your observations on the small-scale map.

up in the air. They also encountered several small aircraft belonging to Rio Tinto. I guess I saw them hovering here. Feeling a little curious. Came here to see what happened.

The pilot of the other side passed the plane side by side with them. Both can see the face of the other pilot. It seems that Camel knows them too. He also made a few gestures to say hello.

When getting off the ground from the plane. It was almost noon.

Carter and others were already waiting for them on the ground. After seeing Fan Wu's illness. Just talk about it up. "Boss. Governor Skye has invited you to meet this afternoon."

Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be so fast, so he asked, "Why is it so urgent?"

Carter explained, “Governor Skye will go abroad for an inspection next week. Considering that delaying too long will make the guests unhappy, he wants to meet with Mr. Fan before going abroad to talk about the issue of exploration rights.”

Oh, Fan Wubing nodded and said, "That's fine too."

Since everyone is busy, you can get straight to the point when you talk about things, and save so many twists and turns, Fan Wuyin thought about it. This time he wants to win the exploration rights of the Pilbara mining area anyway. I first took up the vacuum between Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, and then opened it slowly.

Governor Skye is less than forty years old, and he is considered a young cadre in Australia. He seems to be an aggressive posture. After meeting Fan Wuyi, his performance is also very enthusiastic. The two talked about exploration rights and On the issue of mining rights, there was no extra cost. Governor Skye agreed to divide the blank area between the two extensions and the unopened area of ​​the Pilbara mining area to 100,000 square meters.

area.

Fan Wubing was very happy with Ci, but he was also a little surprised when he was happy. I don't know why the governor is so good to talk. After all, this is a 100,000-kilometer exploration and mining right. Once it enters commercial operations, the benefits are still great.

But after thinking of the conversation with Hydess yesterday, Fan Wubing felt relieved again.

It’s no wonder that Governor Skye will be so happy, because the power of the two extensions is too large, so that no company in Western Australia can intervene in their confrontation, only watching the excitement, and the overseas power. There are very few people who are confident to come here to compete with Liangtuo. This time the Fan Investment Group suddenly wants to step in, which is indeed a good thing for Western Australia.

For the Western Australia government, if the power of the two extensions is too great to suppress it, it will have an inevitable impact on the formulation of some policies and regulations of the state government, and even cause instability.

This situation is something that the governor of Sri Lanka does not want to see. Especially as an important cadre of the Liberal Party, he wants to vigorously promote the economic liberalism advocated by Howard. Then the iron ore group, which is deeply influenced by the Labor Party, needs to be suppressed. , Can't make them feel that they are the emperors of the land here in Western Australia.

In Western Australia, I was worried about the iron ore conglomerates of the two extensions. Fan Wuyi sent him to the door. The timing was just right, so it was a matter of talk, which is not too outrageous. matter.

In terms of policy, the Australian State Government stated that the 100,000 square kilometers of exploration and mining rights can be sold to Fan Investment Group at a price of 9 million Australian dollars, but Fan Investment Group should also guarantee that within five years Carry out and start operations, otherwise, it will be occupied by the pit and not shit.

Fan Wuyao secretly said in his heart that it seems that the Australian state government also believes that it is absolutely impossible to form production capacity without five years. Then he has to show them and let them know what Chinese efficiency is. If two years later, What kind of scene would it look like if it could be mined?

In short, Fan Wuyi gained a lot from his trip to Western Australia this time. The most important problems have been solved. Now it is in the implementation stage. A large number of people need to be dispatched from China to conduct exploration and surveys. Activities, railways and ports also need to be solved together. Otherwise, when the ore is mined but there is no way to ship it out, it will be depressed. You can't expect to transport iron ore by plane, right?

Governor Skye also asked Fan Wubingyi a very important question, "When will your company's investment be in place?"

It’s a very important thing to invest in. It’s just to build the railway. The cost of a kilometer of railway is about two million Australian dollars. Fan Wuyi needs to build a railway of more than 300 kilometers here, which is quite the same. So 600 million Australian dollars, and the construction of the port also needs to spend a lot of money, so Skye is very concerned about when the investment of the Fan Investment Group will be in place, and he also needs to write this matter into his political achievements.

"Regarding the issue of funds, we intend to use market-oriented operations to solve it." Fan Wushu answered confidently.

Market-oriented operation? what is that? Skye was a little inexplicable. He didn't know what Fan Wubing's idea was, but he had at least one understanding, that is, Fan Wubing didn't plan to use real money to do things.

So Skye asked with some anxiety, "Mr. Fan, it is said that your company has never been short of money. Why did you suddenly think of financing through other means this time?"

Fan Wubing smiled and replied ~lightnovelpub.net~ because I bet with others that I can get things done here without real money. "

Skye shook his head in surprise, "It's hard to believe such a big investment."

In fact, Skye believes that market-based means can finance part of it, but the entire investment may require several billion or even tens of billions of Australian dollars. This does not seem to be solved by market financing. After all, the mine has not seen it now. How can investors treat this? Interested in mining areas in the circle of unknown foreigners, and even dare to invest their hard-earned money in it? Everyone is not a fool!

But the reputation of the Fan Investment Group is too great. Governor Skye thought about it and didn’t think that Fan Wubing would not be able to do anything here in Western Australia. It would be ashamed to be at home. They would always come up with a solution. This is the advantage of the big consortium, so he didn't feel anything to worry about. After all, he would immediately receive the exploration rights transfer fee, which was also a lot of income.

After Fan Wuyi sent away Governor Skye, he began to instruct his subordinates to immediately establish the Western Australia branch of Fan's Special Steel Co., Ltd., or Fantasy for short.
