Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

He Yuzhu has never forgotten about mining, and he wants to mine in different countries.

This time, he didn't pretend in Australia. The seventeen mining areas he had acquired before were all famous mining areas from his previous life.

They all prioritize easily accessible mining areas, especially large ones. There are too many other small and medium-sized mining areas, and we don't want any that aren't very important, except for rare earth mining areas. We'll send certain people to mine them.

Lead, zinc, uranium, copper, nickel, manganese, rare earth elements, titanium (ilmenite, rutile), iron ore, bauxite/aluminum, and lithium are all included!

The 'Glory Mining Company,' established in Australia and spearheaded by his underling, an American businessman, is expanding globally.

The next stop is to acquire land in South Africa for mining. As for finding minerals, He Yuzhu's method is to drive a car, sit in the car and explore the mining area, leaving behind all the useful mineral resources.

Having many subordinates means having many companies. You won't stand out; quietly making a fortune is the key.

There are also several African countries with abundant mineral resources but small populations, such as Niger and Ethiopia. I will not go to these countries because they are too troublesome. However, if they lack mineral resources, I can go there to pick up some.

Brazil is also a country rich in minerals. Although the mineral resources are owned by the state, they issue licenses to allow private companies to operate, which gives He Yuzhu a lot of room to maneuver.

Peru, Chile, and other countries cannot be spared, as well as the other two countries in the 'lithium triangle'.

The Andes Mountains are a core region rich in metals such as copper, silver, and molybdenum, encompassing Chile, Peru, and Bolivia.

South America does indeed have a lot of mineral resources.

He Yuzhu still prefers the mineral resources of Asian countries because they are relatively close, convenient to transport, and inexpensive!

In Australia, Kuang Biao drove He Yuzhu around 90% of the country in a month, finding 53 super-large mining areas, large mining areas, and important mining areas.

In particular, acquire all suitable land for iron ore, coal, gold, and rare earth mines!

He Yuzhu noticed something amiss with the gold mine: the gold reserves in Australia were at least 20,000 tons, and there was even more iron ore!

While sitting in the car, they found four large gold mines, totaling more than 7,000 tons at five grams per ton.

Two high-grade gold mines have been discovered in Fosterville, with a gold content of at least 700 grams per ton, and the exploitable gold reserves are around 5,000 tons.

Great stuff! The system shop hasn't sold gold in over ten years. They must know I'm rich and have plenty of funds, so they're providing gold again. Let's mine for gold!

The total iron ore reserves are projected to exceed 58 billion tons, and six major iron ore producing regions need to be secured.

The company has a total iron ore reserve of 70 billion tons in seven major iron ore producing regions, with two as the primary sources for supplying iron ore to its Malaysian companies.

The others will mine again when their hometown needs it to make money. The world still needs iron ore, and we'll have to look to them for that!

One of the iron ore mines was difficult to transport, but that wasn't a problem for He Yuzhu. He was going to build a 700-kilometer railway and take the ore with him!

There are already 17,000 people who came from their hometown here, but in He Yuzhu's opinion, that is far from enough.

A single iron mine with an annual output of 50 million tons requires around 40,000 workers of various kinds. Add to that other mines, even those in semi-operational stages, which require at least 200,000 workers.

Add to that the 50,000 people who built the railway and port, plus security personnel, and 250,000 is a conservative estimate!

The annual salary alone costs 150 million US dollars. In addition, the various mineral resources here require the construction of a total of 3,000 kilometers of railway and seven industrial ports, which is another huge expense!

It will cost approximately three to five billion US dollars!

However, these minerals are more profitable than the expenditures they generate. Before 1973: the price of iron ore was approximately $6.62 per ton.

1976: The price had risen to $14.57 per ton, more than double that of 1973.

In addition, other mineral resources are profitable!

He Yuzhu told his hometown to continue sending people, but he didn't go to see them!

A month later, I left Australia and flew directly to the capital of New Zealand to see how mobile phones were selling there.

"Hey, you've finally arrived! I went to Hong Kong, and Sir Zhao said you went to Australia."

"What do you want? You don't need to come all the way to the port city, right? We can talk on the phone."

"It's me who wants to see you, He. Mobile phones are selling very well here. The first batch of one million units wasn't enough to meet demand, especially in our five major cities!"

This time, it was the "Big Rooster" people who came to our door, hoping to become agents for our mobile phone business. It was their official representatives who wanted to open a mobile phone factory in their country.

Erdezi and his group want to buy technology, including telephone signal network engineering. We'd like to get your opinion; you're our largest shareholder, and everyone makes money thanks to you!

"Setting up a factory in their country is a small matter, but how will they calculate the shareholding? We can't afford to suffer losses."

Erdezi wants technology, which requires a large sum of money. Also, how do we handle the issue of their technology export? Their exports will steal our business!

Your government isn't going to get involved too, is it? It's another national security issue!

"You guys are awesome here. My factory in Malaysia only produces less than 160,000 units in a year and three months, and we're still short-staffed."

"How could we not step forward? They're practically starving, and they're asking for communication networks to be built and mobile phones to be sold in many cities across the country!"

They can't afford to build it. They want to bring in foreign clients for us and collect 60% tax. Building a communication network in China is too expensive. We might as well cooperate with other countries directly.

We're also very troubled because we can't do such a thing due to our immigration status.

"The tax rate of 60% is too high. Although there is no personal income tax, only corporate tax, you may have to pay taxes when you build communication networks in other countries."

Your taxes here are a mess and there are so many of them. Let's talk about lowering them. Countries with no taxes should pay 50%, and countries with taxes should pay the remaining half.

You decide for yourselves. I won't get involved in your mess. Always bringing up the government is just plain stupid.

They want to meddle in everything, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, no wonder they're getting more and more disastrous.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Even Aunt Cha has the same attitude: our country comes first, and at the same time, she will help us do some things."

Inflation here is too severe, reaching 13%, and the unemployment rate is over 7%. If this continues, things will be even worse.

"You're still stubbornly staying here and not looking for work. My company in Malaysia is desperately short-staffed. My company's mobile phone factory is a disgrace!"

I'd love to open a mobile phone factory here and increase it to over two million units per year.

"Your annual production of 150,000 units is indeed too low. Would you be able to sell two million units a year?"

"There are many wealthy people in Japan and other countries as well. You should know about the superior clans of Third Sister-in-law."

"There are fewer problems where you are, and there are quite a few rich people, just not as many as we are."

Our troops stationed in Malaysia returned home in November, and the situation is similar elsewhere; we don't have the funds to station troops.

"Governing troops is sometimes a waste of money. I've found a few mines in South Africa and am preparing to start mining them. I want to become a big mine owner in the future, just like the big landowners of the past."

No need to worry about the skill level of your employees!

"Because mobile phones were selling very quickly and well, Dawson suggested that we acquire Nokia in Finland. They had people, but their technical level was still a bit lacking."

Actually, it's better to collect rent and be your big landowner. "Martha learns very quickly.

"Hehe, I've also thought about acquiring Nokia. They're a high-welfare country, and I can't handle a 55% tax rate, but you guys might be able to."

Furthermore, there is a diversified company that is also profitable in other industries. You can decide what to do. Acquiring them has one advantage: it will eliminate one competitor.

Currently, its main businesses are papermaking, rubber, and cable manufacturing. There should still be a market for it; it hasn't fully entered the mobile communications field yet, so you still have a chance to acquire it.
