"OK! Which one do you want to mine? " Asked Shi Dazhu.


    There are so many proved here that no one mines.


    "Well, let me see!" Qin Feng searched carefully on the map.


    After a careful search, Qin Feng stopped his finger in the forest between Bridgeton and Bahrain gap in southern Western Australia, which marked a vein point: greenbushes mining area.


    This is tin mine!


    "Why is Mao here?" Shi Dazhu was stunned. "Didn''t boss Ming let us focus on iron ore?"


    Iron ore can be used to build high-rise buildings, although tin ore is also very important. However, at this stage, the state vigorously develops infrastructure, and the demand for iron ore is the largest.


    Qin Feng smiled.


    I thought I couldn''t find it here, but I found it.


    This is indeed a tin mine with a large reserve. It shows that there are about billions of Australian dollars worth of tin ore left.


    In itself, it has no mining value.


    After all, although there are billions of Australian dollars left, if you mine, Qin Feng has some data provided by boss Ming. The initial investment in this mining will be nearly a $1 billion.


    Among them, it is mainly used to buy all kinds of mining equipment, large ore carriers, road construction and so on. These are very large sums of money. With the subsequent labor expenses, the hourly wages of workers here are basically more than forty or fifty dollars.


    If the weather is hot, there are various subsidies. In addition, various benefits should be provided. For example, the corresponding shuttle to the urban area, as well as various daily necessities, etc.


    If it''s too far from the city, it''s inconvenient. Then we have to build small towns to provide comfortable living conditions for workers. At the same time, they should also meet their needs to enjoy the happiness of their family.


    Therefore, many remote towns in Australia come from this way. All built by mining companies.


    In addition, they have to buy endowment insurance, which is 9.5% of their income. It is beyond wages that enterprises need to bear.


    This is 7788, and then the tax on mining, the tax on each ton, basically does not make money.


    Therefore, after the tin mine has been mined for nearly a century, there is no company to mine the remaining tin mine due to the scattered division. Although there are billions of tin mines left, it is not cost-effective to include labor, taxes and so on. It''s not that you don''t make money, but you work hard and earn no more than workers.


    That''s not worth it. After all, Perth has so many mineral resources that it''s OK to mine others.


    So, this place is deserted.


    Qin Feng chose here because there was a news, a very big news, that is to say, there was an unexpected discovery of lithium ore with amazing reserves here.


    It is said that the value is hundreds of billions of Australian dollars.


    Qin Feng forgot the exact number. It was on the news. Initially, the use of metal lithium was mainly used for aluminum smelting, lubricating oil, pharmacy, firing of glass and ceramic ware, pigment and other industrial purposes.


    Although it is widely used, the demand is not large.


    But with the rise of mobile phones and laptops, everything is different. In particular, the R & D and application of lithium battery is the first revolution to improve the real status of lithium. Lithium is the lightest of all metals, and its energy density is very high, which means that lithium batteries can perfectly adapt to digital devices such as notebook computers, mobile phones, calculators and digital cameras in terms of functionality and portability.


    In addition, the emergence of electric vehicles ignited the lithium battery market and once again completed the second revolution in the application field of metal lithium. This is also the key for the lithium resource industry to become the hottest new industry.


    However, at that time, there were not many lithium mines in the world. After all, before the demand was very small, we didn''t care much. The proven lithium ore is enough for the world to use for hundreds of years.


    However, after two consecutive revolutions of lithium batteries, the proven lithium ore is not enough. Therefore, when the lithium mine in Australia was discovered, it was on the global financial news.


    There were many reports at that time, and Qin Feng paid unexpected attention. After all, the reserves are amazing. It accounts for 30% of the global market and sells lithium ore.


    How amazing it is!


    Therefore, Qin Feng came to find this first. Take this point first. Then, after the lithium battery revolution, it will be valuable here.


    As for iron ore, that''s too much. Just choose.


    "In other words, if we don''t find out, what will we find?" Shi Dazhu asked curiously.


    "No, we found it. That''s the same tax. It''s just a certain degree of tax exemption, which can be regarded as a reward for the discovery of mineral resources. " Qin Feng said with a smile, "in Australia, don''t expect to get rich overnight. Everything here is about taxes. You can''t escape. "


    The government allows you to get rich, but you must pay taxes.


    And the more you earn, the more you pay taxes.


    Therefore, relatively speaking, Australia''s welfare treatment makes it difficult to become a world-class super rich.


    For example, the assets of Australia''s richest family, after several generations of accumulation, are only $18 billion.


    This is nothing compared with the world''s rich. You know, Australia has no estate tax. Unlike other developed countries, it needs to pay a heavy estate tax.


    Even so, the whole of Australia has a family with assets of more than $10 billion. No. 2, no more than 10 billion. As for the 10th place, Scott faqual, who looks like actor Scott arkins, has only $4 billion in assets.


    In this country, it is too difficult to really become rich. Various taxes ensure that the wealth is as average as possible and make the whole people rich.


    "Alas, it''s hard to make money here!" Shi Dazhu shook his head.


    In contrast, China is simply a paradise for investment. You can make money casually.


    Here, making some money is killing people. But also for workers to build a small town to meet the needs of their family happiness. This is incredible.


    "Well, how about your property?" Qin Feng asked.


    "Well, I''ve seen several stores today, and they''re all pretty good. I want to buy a villa by the sea and an apartment in the city. It''s just that there''s not enough time! " Shi Dazhu said helplessly.


    Qin Feng smiled.


    "It''s not urgent. take your time! It''s all right. You can come and choose the manor. " Qin Feng said with a smile, "anyway, you have nothing to do in China for the time being."


    "That''s true!" Shi Dazhu grinned and said, "by the way, my daughter must like it here. There are children''s facilities everywhere and in every block. It''s really friendly to children."


    Qin Feng smiled.


    "Among Australians, children rank first, the elderly second, women third, and men are the lowest." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Xiao jing''er will like it here."


    This is a good place, but for Qin Feng, the best thing here is that there are many mineral resources. If you take it here, you will have a stronger position at home.
