Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

This is not the period of warlords. Although Australia is a federal country, the officials are all elected by the people. No one can occupy a certain position for a lifetime without moving.

This ranch produces a lot of income every year, and it is very stable. If the mayor of Darwin is not transferred, this place will definitely remain in his hands.

In fact, the mayor of Darwin is also very helpless. If even one of his two sons is willing to stay and take care of his ranch, he will not have the idea of ​​selling the ranch.

It's a pity that, like all young people, Hans and Lucy's longing for the big city is far stronger than staying in this pasture.

Mayor of Darwin: "Mr. Yang Chen, in fact, this valley, apart from this meadow, also has a gold mine."

"Gold mine?" Yang Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and even the movements of his hands couldn't help but slow down.

The mayor of Darwin smiled bitterly: "Yes, I discovered it two years ago, but the reserves of this gold mine are not very large. In order not to destroy this natural grassland, I have been hesitating and have not mined it..."

Whether it is mining gold or refining gold, both of them have caused great damage to the land. Such a large grassland already earns a lot of money every year.

Gold mining will directly damage the environment of the ranch. In the view of the mayor of Darwin, the gain outweighs the gain.

Of course, that was the idea two years ago, and now he already knew that he would be transferred soon, and there was no one to inherit the ranch, so if he didn't sell it, it would be a waste to be idle.

Having a gold mine and not having a gold mine are two different things.

Prices are of course different.

Gold mines are a one-shot deal. Although the reserves are not large, regardless of other factors, you can still get huge profits in a short period of time.

It's just that if this happens, the entire pasture will be destroyed, and I'm afraid there will be no way to recover it in the next few decades. It's a pity that such a large pasture has been destroyed.

In addition, there is one more important reason.

This ranch is only [-] kilometers away from Darwin, and it provides Darwin with at least [-]% of its beef and mutton every year. Once it becomes a mine, the price of meat in Darwin will rise.

As the mayor of Darwin, first of all, he is a politician, and secondly, he is a farmer or businessman. That is to say, he is not a pure businessman. As a politician, he must consider the public's reaction.

Otherwise, once his reputation is bad, he will not be able to continue to hang out in the officialdom.

Don't look at Australia as a capitalist country, everything depends on money, but this money is also divided into levels, and the amount of money determines your status.

The mayor of Darwin has spent half his life before taking the position of mayor. Even if he faces a reassignment, he will only be promoted.

The officialdom is full of light, and asking him to abandon his fame and power to become a mine owner and earn a little quick money is a foolish thing to throw watermelons for sesame seeds.

Mayor Darwin clearly distinguishes which of the two is more important. He is not very old, and his political career is far from over. Naturally, he will not live a life after retirement.

After listening to the mayor of Darwin for a long time, Yang Chen finally understood why the other party was looking for him, not someone else.

You can't have both.

If you want to mine gold mines, you will inevitably pollute the water resources in the valley. At that time, the entire pasture will not be able to raise cattle and sheep.

And if you want pastures, you cannot mine gold mines.

You can only choose one of the two.

Now the mayor of Darwin obviously wants to sell the ranch for the mine price, but he does not allow the buyer to mine gold mines, which will damage his long-accumulated reputation.

This is a typical example of wanting to take advantage and gaining fame.

Looking at the blushing and heartbeating Mayor of Darwin in front of him, Yang Chen couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Uncle is your uncle after all, no matter how thick-skinned you are, a mountain is still as high as a mountain." '

Seeing that Yang Chen didn't answer, Mayor Darwin smiled, didn't continue to say anything else, and began to deal with the rabbit in his hand seriously.

If he made this request with other field owners in the Northern Territory, they would definitely ignore him, and they might even call him crazy about money.

But Yang Chen won't, because the county magistrate is not as good as the current magistrate.

No matter what Yang Chen talks with the federal government next, as long as the other party wants to gain a foothold in the Northern Territory, he, the mayor of Darwin, cannot be avoided.

With his help, no matter whether the above agrees or not, he will have a way to solve it for Yang Chen.

As long as he, the leader of the Northern Territory, actively cooperates, the time and money saved in the middle are far beyond what a ranch can compare.

Obviously, Yang Chen is also aware of this.

Therefore, he was not angry, but seriously thought about it.

There is a saying that the world is as dark as crows, and the power and money transactions are the same everywhere, especially in capitalist countries, where politicians and capitalists are grasshoppers on the same rope.

One glory and one glory.

Chapter 683

Next, if he wants to gain a foothold in the Northern Territory and the continent of Australia, he must deal with politicians like the mayor of Darwin and establish a good relationship.

In capitalist countries, the power in the hands of politicians needs to be guaranteed by the money of capitalists. Similarly, the money of capitalists also needs to be guaranteed by the power in the hands of politicians.

Even if the current mayor of Darwin is transferred, as long as there are no accidents, he still has at least ten years of political career.

It would do him no harm to be friendly with the mayor of Darwin.

In addition, making friends with the other party is tantamount to indirectly making friends with the Liberal Party behind the other party.

Since the founding of Australia as an independent country, there have been dozens of parties, large and small, among which there are two main parties, one is the Liberal Party and the other is the Labor Party.

The Liberal Party and the Labor Party have always been the two largest political parties in Australia.

The Australian Liberal Party was established in [-]. Its predecessor was the United Party established in [-]. It mainly represents the interests of industrial and commercial owners and has many experience in governing.

The current Australian Prime Minister, John Malcolm Fraser, is a Liberal Party member whose term will not end until next year.

Making friends with the mayor of Darwin is equivalent to making friends with the Liberal Party and the current Prime Minister of Australia, which will be of great benefit to his next entry into the Northern Territory.

As a capitalist, the Liberal Party is his best choice, because he is one of the so-called business owners.

Of course, it is impossible for him to completely fall to the Liberal Party. The Australian Labor Party is only strong but not weak to the Liberal Party.

The Australian Labor Party was founded in [-], decades earlier than the Liberal Party, and has always been the largest political party in Australia, representing the interests of trade unions, also known as the interests of the working class.

How fearful the guilds in capitalist countries are, this can be seen from their salaries and benefits. The more developed countries are in later generations, the more debts they owe. A big reason is that the benefits are too good.

The biggest promoters of Western welfare policies are the internal associations, the associations in most capitalist countries, and their every move affects the entire country.

After the Industrial Revolution, the working class has become the largest group in every country, and their power cannot be underestimated by anyone, including the government.

At the same time, the guild is also the most troublesome existence for all capitalists and businessmen. Workers do not go to the boss of the business. All major and minor issues are resolved by the guild. The boss of the business directly loses control over the workers.

This is not a pleasant thing for any capitalist.

Of course, even if the Australian Labor Party is in power next, Yang Chen is not afraid, because no matter which faction in Australia is in power, it will not block his investment.
