Lawyer Daniel always felt that although Boss Yan was quite capable, he was ultimately a young person.
For instance, buying that small mine, a mine that no one would buy in the short term, was it really necessary to keep pushing to buy it? Just leave it there, and eventually, one day the governnt will co back begging to sell it to you.
Including buying pasture land, the mont Yan Fei arrived, he directly expressed his desire for the surrounding pastures. Aren’t you blatantly telling the surrounding pasture owners to raise their prices and take advantage of you?
Although later on, Yan Fei was busy with ranch construction and didn’t start with the surrounding pastures, in Daniel’s view, Boss Yan is still a young person with a sowhat impetuous temperant!
Until just now, Daniel once again felt that Boss Yan was too young!
Not mature enough, you’re a rancher, just manage your ranch and invest to make money. Why do you care about environntal developnt? What if a mine is opened here? It has nothing to do with you!
As long as environntal pollution doesn’t affect your ranch, as long as it doesn’t delay your making money, isn’t that enough? You’re not even from Australia!
Now you’re yelling at a mayor about protecting the environnt and even planning to buy a mine without exploiting it, are you crazy?
If soone intends to sell a mine, they intend for soone to buy it for developnt and economic growth.
I’ve never heard of anyone buying a mine with no plans to exploit it!
Look, you spoke too quickly, and now you’re probably regretting it, right?
...
At this mont, Yan Fei’s expression indeed showed so regret, and in the eyes of Zavier and Daniel, he seed to be regretting what he just said!
However, Zavier’s thoughts were completely different from Daniel’s. As he looked at Yan Fei, he liked him more and more, wishing he could imdiately decide to sell those two mines to Yan Fei...
That’s right, Elder Mr. Zavier was an out-and-out fanatical advocate of primitive environntal protection—the so-called primitive environntal protection is to maintain the land, mountains, and rivers in their original state. If it’s wasteland, then let it remain wasteland.
Of course, as a politician and a city manager, Zavier couldn’t unrestrainedly display his enthusiasm in this regard.
If you don’t exploit mines and leave resources unused, will those dreaming of mining bringing jobs and revenue still vote for you?
Sotis people must lose so things they desire for other things they want.
So Mr. Zavier just grumbles at ho to his old wife, lanting how the human heart has changed and the world is cooler, lanting that the sky in Australia isn’t as blue as when they were kids—this is idealism, people always derive many subjective beliefs from deep within when they’re dissatisfied with societal changes.
Complaints are only complaints; what Mr. Zavier could do was to try not to sell those mines during his term.
This was his greatest effort.
The governnt can make so exploitation regulations during mine auctions, but those regulations are about how to exploit mines, not forbidding exploitation—most buyers buy mines to exploit them, what’s the use of an unexploited mine?
So large mining companies purchase mines to stockpile without imdiate exploitation. But that’s temporary, based on market changes. If they think at a certain ti, a mineral’s price has peaked, and no significant increase is expected in the coming years, they’re likely to change their plan and exploit the mine imdiately.
Because buying a mine without exploiting ties up funds, and exploiting requires substantial investnt; if future price incrents aren’t as fast as needed investnts, exploiting now is evidently the most cost-effective.
In any case, once a mine is out of the governnt’s hands, the governnt’s regulation isn’t as direct and strict—even strict laws and regulations have loopholes.
And now suddenly there’s this fool appearing...that’s how Daniel viewed Yan Fei, starting to think Yan Fei was too young, too idealistic again.
In a company’s developnt phase, no amount of investnt is too much. For many entrepreneurs, capital is the biggest issue.
As the saying goes, "Good steel is used on the knife edge." Every bit of capital should be used where it’s needed, that’s the proper attitude—but buying a mine just for a mountain, what kind of move is that?
...
"Mr. Yan, your argunts are novel." Zavier suddenly burst into laughter. "But I support your environntal perspective, maybe we can exchange views on environntal protection if there’s a chance. You know, as the governnt, we also value environntal protection."
"I hope so." Yan Fei nodded, looking sowhat dissatisfied with Zavier’s platitudes. "Then we’ll take our leave, I’ll imdiately arrange for the paynt to purchase the mines to be transferred over, then proceed with the handover with the governnt."
He finished speaking without staying longer, flashing a rather forced smile at Zavier before turning away.
In the eyes of Zavier and Daniel, this was a young idealistic entrepreneur, very talented, but ultimately too inexperienced in society, with so ideas considered "naive" by people in society.
