Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Western Australia is located in the western part of the Australian mainland, on the verge of the Indian Ocean, with an area equivalent to the entire Western Europe, accounting for one-third of Australia's total area, and is the largest state in Australia.

Although most of the state is desert and salt lake, it is not as good as the Northern Territory, but it is rich in mineral resources and is the wealthiest state in Australia.

The mineral resources of Western Australia rank first in Australia. The main minerals are iron, gold, nickel, diamond, manganese, copper, coal, oil and natural gas, etc., with large reserves, wide distribution, shallow burial and easy development.

The total merchandise exports of Western Australia in later generations accounted for more than 40.00% of Australia's total, equivalent to the total exports of New South Wales, where Sydney is located, and Victoria, where Melbourne is located, and Queensland.

However, Western Australia's exports are mostly minerals and energy, accounting for about 80.00% of the total export commodities.

Western Australia is close to the Asian region, and the shipping distance is closer and more convenient than the Northern Territory, which reduces the cost a lot.

However, it was precisely because Western Australia had too many advantages that Yang Chen did not place his base camp.

An area that is being watched by the Australian government all the time, the other party obviously will not let him occupy it so easily.

In contrast, the Northern Territory is a bird that does not shit, and the Australian government is willing to generously throw it to him in areas to be developed.

There will be rewards only if you pay. His development of the Northern Territory can be regarded as helping the Australian government to develop this desert and the place that is about to be abandoned.

Investing in Western Australia is blatantly making a lot of money. Since he can make a lot of money, the Australian government will naturally not give him generous discounts.

On the contrary, there may be many restrictions,

There are gains and losses. Although the development of the Northern Territory is more difficult, as long as it is well managed, it will be his second base in the future.

Moreover, the Northern Territory also has a lot of mineral resources. Although it is not as exaggerated as Western Australia, it has everything it should have.

Think about it, a desert country like Israel can turn barren land into a "land of food and fruit", why not the Northern Territory?

Peaceful occupation of Australia, starting with the Northern Territory.

Chapter 679

at night

The welcome banquet routinely held by the mayor of Darwin was held in the hotel where Yang Chen was staying.

In addition to the officials and celebrities of the Northern Territory, many farmers, ranchers and mine owners of the Northern Territory were also present at the banquet.

Before Yang Chen came, the farmers, ranchers and mine owners in the Northern Territory had already received the news.

Most of the reasons why these people came were because they wanted to sell the farms and mines in their hands to Yang Chen, who was taken advantage of.

Yes, that's right, it's just being taken advantage of.

In the eyes of many people, since Yang Chen is so rich, since he came to invest in Australia, he didn't go to other good places, but went to the Northern Territory, a place that doesn't shit.

Isn't this sick?

Of course, everyone will definitely not say these words, let alone show them on their faces. When treating rich people, everyone will welcome and smile to the greatest extent.

The land assigned to Yang Chen by the government was half sold and half given away. They, the owners of the land, had to pay the real price.

After all, well-developed land and wasteland are two different things. Although land in the Northern Territory is much cheaper than other places, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

As long as it is meat, it is money.

After hearing Yang Chen's request, the mayor of Darwin was stunned for a few seconds, and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Yang Chen, are you joking? 50 square kilometers, do you know that there is something wrong with it?" How big is it?"

You must know that the total area of ​​the Northern Territory is only more than 130 million square kilometers, and Yang Chen opened his mouth to 50 square kilometers, which is already close to [-]% of the total area.

Mayor Darwin never thought that Yang Chen's appetite would be so big, which made him wonder if the other party was joking.

Yang Chen shrugged, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and said indifferently: "Mr. Mayor, those are wastelands. I can pay for them. It depends on whether you are willing to sell them."

Although the land area of ​​the Northern Territory is more than 130 million square kilometers, its northeast is the Buckley Plateau, the central and western regions are plain grasslands, the south is mountainous and desert areas, and the southwest is mostly dry salt lakes. Not all of the above areas can be used.

Yang Chen made up his mind to buy most of the available land resources in the Northern Territory. Those plateaus, deserts, and salt lakes are of little use value, and they are mainly mountains and plains.

Mountains can be used to grow fruits and hide ores, and plains and grasslands can be used to graze or grow food.

Of course, he will not let go of some strange landscapes and landforms. After all, he plans to develop the tourism industry in the future. Naturally, those natural wonders will be bought and waited to collect money.

Facing Yang Chen's attitude of not being short of money, the mayor of Darwin was both happy and anxious.

The happy thing is that if he agrees to Yang Chen's request and sells almost [-]% of the land in the Northern Territory, then the Northern Territory can get a lot of financial income.

What was disturbing was that he was afraid that if the land was sold and Yang Chen would not develop it in his hands, then the entire Northern Territory would probably continue to circle around in place.

After all, if you want to develop 50 square kilometers of land, you need to invest a huge amount of money, and it is difficult for the Australian government to complete this work.

Otherwise, in the 21st century, the Northern Territory will not increase in population, and it will still not increase much.

After a while, the mayor of Darwin continued to speak: "Mr. Yang Chen, I will report your request to the federal government. As long as the higher authorities agree, the Northern Territory side, including myself, will not have any opinions. "

Yang Chen nodded and said: "That's fine, we'll talk about it when the time comes."

Although the mayor of Darwin is the highest-ranking administrative official in the Northern Territory, he really cannot represent the federal government in such a large land transaction.

Yang Chen also knows this. The reason why he brought it up is to inoculate all the officials of the Northern Territory in advance, so that when he has negotiated with the Australian federal government, there will be another dispute in the Northern Territory.

Seeing that Yang Chen wasn't unhappy, the mayor of Darwin glanced at the field owners in a circle not far away, and shook his head secretly.

As the supreme officer of Darwin, he is also helpless sometimes, especially when facing those field owners, nominally and actually the food and clothing parents, he has a severe headache.

There is a strange phenomenon among rich people in Australia, that is, anyone who can set up a family business outside the Northern Territory will never go to the Northern Territory to develop.

Even though the Northern Territory has much more preferential policies than other places, those rich people just don't want to come here.

The reason, besides the environment, is that the population of the Northern Territory is too small.

It is inconvenient to do anything with a small number of people. Ranchers in other places want to have a good time, as long as they go out of the ranch, they can quickly find a place to have fun.

But the Northern Territory is different. The ranchers here, after leaving the ranch, have to drive a long way to enter the town and meet people.

Yes, a small town, not a city.

On weekdays, people on the farm and ranch rarely see each other except acquaintances, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as isolated from the world.

Therefore, even the owners of farms, ranches and mines in the Northern Territory will basically choose to leave after they make enough money.

Similarly, many young people also do not like to stay in the Northern Territory, where there are few people. Basically, if they go out, they will not come back.

This is one of the reasons why the population of the Northern Territory has been growing slowly for decades.

Thinking of the purpose of these people coming here, the mayor of Darwin smiled wryly, and asked: "Mr. Yang Chen, there are many ready-made farms, pastures and mines in the Northern Territory, I wonder if you are interested? "

Yang Chen smiled knowingly, glanced at the group of people who had been paying attention to him, nodded and said: "Yes, I am here to help the Northern Territory recover its economy and improve its development. If someone is willing to sell the ready-made farms, pastures and mines , I am happy to accept such a good thing."
