Resource Tycoon Reborn

The Haiping Mining Company, which was solely invested and established by the Fang family, started preparing to acquire and mine the Calazo mining area in Western Australia before the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis in 1997. It was not until the end of 1998 that it was considered successful.

This mining area has been collected by the family.

The Karaso mining area is about 330 kilometers away from Perth, covering an area of ​​about 275 square kilometers. It is also more than 230 kilometers away from the nearest port, Curisbane Port. In order to transfer the mined iron ore

In order to transport the stone out, Haiping Mining Company built a railway to connect the two places, and also acquired 70% of the shares of Curisban Port, and gradually expanded it to an annual export of iron ore, with ore sand reaching up to 2,000 yuan.

A large port of 10,000 tons. In these two items alone, Haiping Mining Company invested a huge amount of money. If it were not supported by the huge profits Fang Mingyuan gained from the Nasdaq stock market, these expenses alone could make Fang Mingyuan

The financial pressure on your family has skyrocketed!

But even so, as the president of Haiping Mining Company, Xia Wen was under great psychological pressure that was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

With such a huge capital investment, if the world iron ore price does not rise significantly, the Fang family's losses will be in the billions of dollars!

Every time Xia Wen thought about the astronomical amount of losses for ordinary people, he couldn't help but quicken his breathing and break out in cold sweat! When Fang Mingyuan asked him to come to Australia to establish Haiping Mining Company, he didn't

I thought that Haiping Mining Company would one day develop to the scale it is today. While I was grateful for Fang Mingyuan's trust in me, I naturally felt the pressure on my shoulders.

Moreover, Xia Wen's father, Xia Wen, also put a lot of mental pressure on him. Xia Wen is now one of the senior managers of Deguang Electronics Group. Knowing that his son is taking on important responsibilities in Australia, Xia Wen is happy but also worried that his son will not be effective.

He caused heavy economic losses to his family, so every time he called, he would remind him more or less, asking him to be cautious and not to be arrogant. If there were any problems, he should report them to Fang Mingyuan in a timely manner and ask for guidance.

Xia Wen did indeed walk on thin ice and work conscientiously as Xia Tian requested. With the completion of the railway construction and the completion of the second phase of the Curisbane Port project, it can be said that everything is ready now, just waiting to start construction. He

It can be considered a little bit of relief.

What makes him gratified is that although the price of iron ore in the international market today is still not high, compared with 1997 and 1998, it has already improved significantly. In this case,

Haiping Mining Company's iron ore mining costs, including shipping costs, are limited in losses. This makes him more confident in the prospect that international iron ore prices will skyrocket as Fang Mingyuan once said.

Fang Mingyuan came to inspect the Karasuo mining area, so Xia Wen naturally had to accompany him throughout the process.

"Brother Xia Wen, you have really done a great job in Australia over the years!" Lin Rong stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the vast land in the distance. "I really didn't expect that the iron ore reserves here are so rich."

It’s astonishing.”

Although Xia Wen had reported to Fang Mingyuan before, after careful exploration of the Kalaso mining area, they found that the data obtained before had a large deviation. But after seeing the mining area with his own eyes and listening to Xia Wen's own words, Lin Rongcai

I believe this is actually a super mining area for iron ore!

The initial exploration results they obtained were that there were only at most 2 billion tons of magnetite in the Karaso mining area with a grade of 256%! And the latest exploration results showed that the entire mining area was 4%.

After deep exploration of the land in Shiqiu, the total reserves discovered exceeded 3.1 billion tons, and the grade of the ore was as high as 38% and as low as 34%!

This also means that the actual value of the Karasuo mining area has made a leap. From this point alone, the value of Haiping Mining Company, which took over the Karasuo mining area, has more than doubled.

"Yes, I was shocked when I saw this result! I can only say that fortunately Mr. Fang didn't listen to me at that time and gave up the Kalaso mining area and instead acquired other mining areas." Xia Wen said with a long breath. Now

Whenever he recalled the time when he persuaded Fang Mingyuan to change his mind, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Fang Mingyuan had listened to his persuasion at that time, the loss would have been huge.

Lin Rong glanced back. Not far away, Fang Mingyuan was laughing and chatting with two white men. A gleam of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "He has always had a very accurate vision in this regard."

"Mr. Fang, our Western Australian government welcomes investors like Mr. Fang to invest in development!" Councilor Stanley Biseph Bruce said with a smile on his face, "Our Governor, Mr. Alf. Edmund Barton

I am currently attending an important meeting in Congress and cannot make it back in time, so Cruz and I will be responsible for the reception for the time being. As soon as the meeting is over, Mr. Governor will rush back." The Cruz he mentioned was him.

His younger brother, Cruz Bisef Bruce, is the director of the Mineral Development Department of the Western Australian Government.

When Haiping Mining Company wanted to develop the Kalaso mining area, it was interfered by several puppet companies that were pushed to the stage by the three mining giants to cause trouble for Haiping Mining Company. At that time, Congressman Bruce "speaks for justice" and said that those puppet companies were basically

The fact that there are not enough funds to develop the Calasso mining area paved the way for Haiping Mining Company to take over the Calaso mining area. And Cruz Bisef Bruce is the person in charge of the mining resource review department in Perth!

Over the past few years, Haiping Mining Company has continuously invested in the Calazo mining area, which has not only contributed to the economic recovery of Western Australia, but also provided a solid foundation for the Blues Brothers' rising social status in Western Australia.

, it can be said that the cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.

Especially after Fang Mingyuan took over the position of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Hong Kong Kwok Shipping Group, it was recently revealed that he is the most famous screenwriter "Fang" in Hollywood. It can be said that the Australian government's attention to Fang Mingyuan has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Bruce Brothers, as people who have a good cooperative relationship with the Fang family, naturally benefited greatly from it.

The reason is actually very simple. Although Australia's economic development has rebounded significantly compared with the years of 1997, 1998, and 1999, because the international market still has not recovered significantly, the overall economy is still growing weakly.

Lack of stamina.

In order to boost the economy, the Australian government has proposed vigorously developing tourism and increasing the development and export of mineral resources. Not to mention that Haiping Mining Company itself is an iron ore mining and export company, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Kuok Shipping Group are also companies of the Australian government

An important partner for the development of tourism and mining.

The movie "The Lord of the Rings" has caused a spurt in the tourism industry of Australia's neighbor New Zealand, and with the release of "The Lord of the Rings 2" this summer, New Zealand's tourism industry will surely reach a higher level. This has made the Australian government

How can we not attach importance to the relationship with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group? They are looking forward to Australia becoming an important filming location for Hong Kong Kumho Film Group's movies in the future, thereby stimulating further development of domestic tourism.

Moreover, Guo's Shipping Group has become one of the most important shipping companies in the Pacific. Australia's various mineral resources, if there is not enough shipping capacity, can only be piled in the port. What's more, Guo's Shipping Group

The good relationship between the company and the Chinese government has also attracted the attention of the Australian government - with China's economic development, especially the increasing prosperity of the southern and coastal areas, China has become an important importer of various mineral resources from Australia.

Another very important thing is that Kuok Shipping Group is now the largest oil transportation company in the Pacific and even the global shipping industry. It has a huge tanker fleet and controls two shipyards that can build supertankers.

The close relationship with Korean shipyards and Japan's Feldspar Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. means that Kuok Shipping Group's tanker fleet can still expand rapidly. This is because single-hull tankers have been forced to withdraw from the international oil transportation market.

In terms of the market, the tanker transportation capabilities of Kuok Shipping Group Company can be said to be of great importance.

When countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia successively required single-hull oil tankers to withdraw from the transportation market within a time limit, although the Australian government raised the standards for single-hull oil tankers entering their territorial waters, it did not put forward a clear exit timetable like the countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia. However,

With the occurrence of the crude oil spill in the European Mediterranean in April, European countries have successively proposed timetables for banning single-hull oil tankers from entering their territorial waters. In Australia, calls for the government to clarify the withdrawal of single-hull oil tankers from the transportation industry have suddenly become louder.

.

Naturally, the Australian government does not dare to delay the public's demands with excuses such as research, so the government's shipping department is now actively formulating a draft. Although Australia is rich in various mineral resources, it is an out-and-out crude oil producer.

It is a net importer of crude oil and refined oil products. It imports tens of millions of tons of crude oil and refined oil products from overseas every year. The domestically produced crude oil can only meet more than 60% of domestic consumption. Moreover, the imported crude oil and refined oil products

The number is still rising steadily.

Therefore, the Australian government and enterprises very much hope to reach a stable crude oil transportation agreement with Kuok Shipping Group Co., Ltd. to ensure domestic demand for crude oil and refined oil.
