Australia is an extremely large country with an area of ​​about 7.7 million square kilometers.

Although large areas are uninhabitable desert areas, because the land area is too large, Australia can support more than 300 million people by relying solely on the western coast, eastern coast and other areas. It is definitely not what experts say that Australia's natural resources are extremely poor, and it can only support about 50 million people.

Of course, Australia has not had a large population. Before 2000, it did not even reach 20 million people, which is a typical country with a large area and a sparse population.

Australia's most eye-catching current and future is naturally their ore resources.

In fact, Australia's most powerful bauxite resources are its bauxite resources, which account for about 35% of the total reserves in the world, and then it comes down to iron ore.

The iron ore exported by Australia is second only to Brazil in the world, but Brazil is too far from China, so what we usually buy is Australian iron ore.

The iron ore in Brazil and Australia is of very high quality, basically 60% or 70%. If the content is less than 50%, they are unwilling to mine, and they think it is too difficult.

This makes China, which has an average iron ore quality of about 30%, feels so good!

Because of this, China's steel mills are of course willing to buy Australian iron ore instead of those inferior and of different quality iron ore in China.

Especially after the 1990s, China needed to use a large amount of steel to carry out large-scale industrial, transportation, housing, manufacturing and other construction and development, and naturally the demand for iron ore soared.

After 2003, China was basically the world's largest iron ore importer.

Unfortunately, China is the largest iron ore demand country, but it has no say in the price of iron ore.

The world's three major iron ore groups have joined forces to target China's iron ore imports. The price is determined by them, and we can only passively accept it, which has caused too high costs. It is better at home, but it is not competitive at all abroad.

Among these conspiracies against China, of course, there are Japanese people.

The Japanese began to make arrangements in Australia, Brazil and other countries as early as the 1960s, actively participated in the affairs of the Great Iron Ore Group and spent a lot of money to invest, thus also controlling a certain amount of iron ore pricing power.

Through control of iron ore and steel refining technology, Japan even indirectly controlled several super-large steel groups in China. When it was disclosed, it was shocked to the whole country.

The Chinese actually have no way to do anything about the price of iron ore.

For example, Huaxin Pacific gritted its teeth and spent a huge amount of money to buy the magnetite in Preston, Western Australia in 2006. It has 2 billion tons of magnetite resources, which is very rich.

Huaxin Pacific originally thought it was a big profit, but the next step was the beginning of the nightmare.

It was originally expected to spend 4.2 billion US dollars and start production within three years.

But unexpectedly, the first batch of iron ore was transported back to China in 2013. The entire development cycle was as high as 7 years, and the investment had exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

The most devastating thing is not the problem of money and time.

But because of the financial crisis, the price of iron ore plummeted, and it was a super plunge, with the price less than half of the previous one, only about 40%! And this price continued to fall, and in the end it could not even reach one-third!

Huaxin Pacific, who originally thought that after iron ore was produced, could satisfy his own factory and make a lot of money, was stunned.

After working hard to dig the earth in Australia for seven or eight years, it ended up like this. Huaxin Taifu really has the heart of a Japanese dog.

When Yin Jun saw this report, he also went to a deep understanding of the whole story.

Wall Street and other foreign media mocked Huaxin Taifu as if it were shit, and domestic people also laughed at them as idiots, but in fact things are far from as simple as imagined.

Huaxin Pacific's biggest mistake was that it was too late to enter the Australian iron ore field.

If they were in advance, they would not suffer much loss.

If it was ten years ahead of schedule, it would definitely be a big profit.

If it was twenty years ahead of time...

The output and strength of China's steel production will definitely reach two more steps. How could the three major iron ore manufacturers dare to force Chinese people to buy high-priced iron ore like this?

After realizing it, factors such as the bloated and slow state-owned system have caused Huaxin Taifu to buy iron ore minerals, which has obvious congenital deficiencies.

Next, Huaxin Pacific's hasty and irregularities in the entire preliminary preparation, supporting construction, mining, etc.

How did they come to the conclusion that they were originally preparing to start production for three years?

What’s ridiculous is that it actually made inferences based on the development of domestic mines.

This decision was made as a matter of course without having any field investigations or detailed discussions on Australia's customs, legal culture, etc.

So is it difficult to spend a large investment project worth tens of billions of dollars, or two or three million dollars in research and consultation fees, and entrust foreign consulting companies to conduct a detailed investigation and understand more about the situation?

Now that I want to build minerals, all Australian departments will come to cause trouble for you.

How should your mine be built, which equipment cannot be used, what guarantees should be provided for workers, and what supporting facilities should be added... A series of orders and regulations directly shocked Huaxin Taifu, and let their production and construction plans be delayed again and again.

Then there is the problem of workers.

Huaxin Taifu actually thought of bringing workers from China to do all the mineral development and production.

They thought that Chinese workers are good, obedient and capable, with cheap prices, and never complain, and they are their own people and can trust them.

But this idea was directly denied by the Australian government.

When building factories in Australia, you must try your best to use Australians and be locals as much as possible!

Unless Chinese workers who are proficient in English and can communicate with Australian workers without barriers, they can issue visas to work.

and!

Moreover, all the salary, benefits and benefits of these Chinese workers must be consistent with Australian workers and are not allowed to be hired at a low price!

When encountering such a request, can you imagine the expression of the management of Huaxin Pacific at that time?

Of course we cannot sympathize with them.

They are used to doing things like this in China, and because they are a large state-owned group, no one cares about them anyway.

But when you come abroad, one code is one code. If the law stipulates that you cannot do things, you just cannot do it!

And they are so stupid. Even if you want to use Chinese workers, you won’t communicate before buying minerals, saying how I develop them in a big way and how much tax I have to pay. Therefore, I need some necessary assistance personnel to work. How do you think of a way to do it?

Even if we cannot recruit more Chinese workers, at least one thousand or eight hundred should be able to do it.

But you just paid all the money and were destined to develop it here before you said these words. What's the use of that?

If someone disagrees, can you still pat your butt and leave?

So I could only pinch my nose and accept it.

As a result, Huaxin Taifu's nightmare came again.

Not only do those Australian workers have to rest for a week when they do three weeks of work, but they also have to reimburse you for round-trip air ticket fares. They don’t work overtime! Don’t work overtime!!

When I saw that Australian workers left as soon as they arrived, regardless of whether they were doing their jobs well, and would stop halfway through the work, would it be harmful to the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission? The managers of Huaxin Taifu had the heart to kill them.

Such workers even yell to reward a lot of bonuses every year, which makes people feel even more disgusting as if they were eating flies.

I have worked hard for five or six years and have invested all my money and have not earned a penny. I still want to get a bonus?

But there is no way. People pay bonuses based on work. Whether you make money or not has much to do with them. If you don’t give it, they can go to the government to sue you. Do you think the government will help them or you?

So, for various reasons, Huaxin Pacific suffered huge losses in this magnetite mine in Western Australia.

As the saying goes, it is a lesson from the past and a teacher of the future.

It was precisely because Yin Jun knew about the mess of Huaxin Pacific, when he wanted to do iron ore business in his life, he thought of making plans in advance.

yes.

It takes billions or hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars to make an iron ore. Now Yin Jun only has one or two hundred million assets at best, which is a drop in the bucket and does not work at all.

But this doesn't mean I can't prepare in advance.

For example, when I was doing real estate, wouldn’t the workers on the construction site go to Australia by various skilled immigration?

I have been constantly introducing hardworking, honest and reliable workers from the mainland, allowing them to work hard on the construction site, improve their skills, and wait for the opportunity to immigrate.

When the time comes, I will immigrate to 800 people every year.

After three or five years, I have money and can buy a mine, so I will summon three or five thousand of them to work. What can your Australian government say, right?

They are Australian residents!

Although you may not be able to catch up with becoming a citizen, how dare you say that residents do not enjoy the right to hire a job?

Moreover, by April next year, the British government will issue a white paper listing the government's planned reform of the Nationality Law, including those targeting residents of Xiangjiang.

In order to obtain the resident qualifications or nationality of the Commonwealth, from that time on, Xiangjiang ushered in a wave of immigration.

Especially in the two or three years of negotiations on the issue of ownership of Huaying on Hong Kong, immigration reached a peak.

At that time, Australia and Canada specially dispatched special personnel to grab middle-class immigrants from Hong Kong to them to enrich their national population and contribute more to Australia's economy.

Yin Jun took advantage of this time to take advantage of the troubled waters, which was much less difficult than usual.

Australian locals have always been lazy and come to have so many people who can work for them, so why don’t you smile and say a little bit?

At that time, Yin Jun will use these people to do his work at the iron mine site, which will be much better than those lazy Australians who use these delicious food and food.

Of course Yin Jun would not treat them badly with his salary, but in terms of overtime and seriousness in working, it is completely different from the same level.

One is a light worker to top three Australian workers!

You know, even the Japanese have to admire the hard work and hard work of Chinese workers!

Cost savings are only one aspect and are not enough to affect the overall situation.

It’s also because Yin Jun knows the distribution of iron ore in Australia!

The Japanese, Americans and the three major iron ore giants thought they had occupied all the iron mines in Western Australia, but they didn't know that compared with the iron ore area in 2008, the iron ore area discovered and utilized now was less than one-third of the ones that were then!
