"Mr. Mayor, I'm afraid this matter won't be settled in a day or two. Otherwise, you can ask the bosses who are willing to sell their farms, ranches and mines to sell their farms, ranches and mines.

The price goes up.

At that time, I will send someone to verify it. If the price is right, I will buy it. If the price is not right, then forget it.

After all, there is so much land in the Northern Territory, and there is no need for me to spend that wasted money. There is only one chance. I hope the mayor can make the matter clear to them when conveying it."

Although he has money, he will never spend a penny more than he should. If he doesn't reveal this bottom line, what awaits him will be a protracted bargaining.

That is what he really does not want to see. Any negotiation will not be pleasant, especially when interests are involved. Once he and the Australian federal government reach an agreement, the development of the Northern Territory will be put on the agenda.

Under such circumstances, he still has free time to argue with the owners. If he is willing to sell, he will buy. If he is not willing to sell, he will not care.

Mayor Darwin didn't care, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang Chen, I will make this matter clear to them. Come, let's have a drink."

"Mr. Yang Chen, how do you like this wine? To tell you the truth, I made this wine myself. I have a farm outside the city, and this wine comes from the vineyard on my farm."

Yang Chen took another sip, gave a thumbs up and said: "It tastes very good. I didn't expect Mr. Mayor to know how to make wine. I would like to learn it if I have the chance."

The mayor of Darwin did not understand the politeness of the Chinese. Hearing that Yang Chen was interested in learning how to make wine, he immediately invited him: "It's simple. I will invite Mr. Yang Chen to my farm tomorrow and I will teach you how to make wine myself."

wine."

Facing the invitation from the Mayor of Darwin, Yang Chen couldn't help but want to slap himself, and said awkwardly: "How dare you interrupt Mr. Mayor's work."

The mayor of Darwin waved his hand and said: "Don't bother me. The most important job in Darwin City now is to entertain Mr. Yang Chen. I invited Mr. Yang Chen to my home as a guest, which can be regarded as working overtime."

"Uh..." At this time, Yang Chen had nothing to say. He could only smile and nod in agreement. Anyway, he came here just to take a look around. Going to the other party's farm was no different from going to other places.

Early the next morning

At the invitation of the mayor of Darwin, Yang Chen and a group of people left the city and headed to a farm more than a hundred kilometers outside the city.

Since the Northern Territory is under the direct administration of the Australian federal government, cooperation projects cannot be carried out in Darwin, so the mayor of Darwin's current job can only accompany Yang Chen to look around.

The Northern Territory has a population of more than 100,000, of which more than 70% are concentrated in Darwin and its surrounding areas.

Even so, the population around Darwin is still very small. When you leave the city, you can hardly see anyone.

It is further away from Darwin. Even if it is two to three hundred kilometers away, you may not encounter a small town.

Yes, it's a town, not a city.

This is no exaggeration at all. Australia has a sparse population to begin with. The Northern Territory is comparable to the giant panda in the inland animal world. People here are even rarer than national treasures. In future generations, it will be a proper national first-level protected animal.

Yang Chen and his group had more than a dozen heavy-duty off-road vehicles. They were quite large and mighty, and there was smoke and dust all the way. Some people thought there was another war somewhere.

That's right, it's a war.

In this small part of the Northern Territory, animals are overrun. Every once in a while, people here will pick up guns and knives to fight against the animal populations here.

In Australia's short history, there have been many wars between numerically inferior humans and animals to compete for territory.

Not only the private sector, but also the military, for some animal species, they basically control the killing and do not bury them.

Represented by rabbits and kangaroos, their populations can really scare people to death.

As the continent of Australia has been isolated overseas for a long time, the biological species are not as rich as those of other continents, so the ecosystem is not very stable.

But it itself is very suitable for the growth of animals. Australia has rich pastures and rich food sources, which provides good conditions for the growth and reproduction of animals.

The native flora and fauna here have almost no natural enemies.

During the Age of Discovery, people brought some alien creatures to this land, which caused a series of unimaginable consequences.

As soon as these alien creatures set foot on this land, not only were they not acclimatized, but they all felt particularly nostalgic for this land.

Take rabbits as an example. The rabbits in Australia originally came from the United Kingdom. The British came to Australia and wanted to improve their food, so they brought a few rabbits over.

But what I never expected was that Mr. Rabbit would become a lingering nightmare for generations of Australians.

According to statistics, in the mid-20th century, the total number of rabbits in Australia exceeded 10 billion, which was more than the total population of the world in later generations.

At that time, many areas in central Australia were gnawed away by rabbits, directly causing the extinction of dozens of unique Australian creatures.

Finally, the Australian government was forced to mobilize the entire country, from the private sector to the military, and launched a war to cull wild rabbits with great momentum.

That period of history can be called a soul-stirring epic.

There are tens of billions of rabbits all over the mountains and fields, jumping around in front of people's eyes, gnawing grass and the sheep have no grass to eat. How can the Australian people who depend on sheep for food agree to this?

However, there is nothing we can do if we don’t agree.

Rabbits are something that most people simply cannot catch. Even with a gun, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to hit them.

In desperation, the Australian government finally got smart and no longer chose to introduce alien species to balance the ecology.

Every time a creature was introduced, it caused a disaster. In later generations, Australia was quite strict on the entry of species.

The main reason here is because I have learned enough lessons.

In the end, the rabbit army was contained thanks to the introduction of a myxoma virus in Australia. This virus is selective and fatal to rabbits, but harmless to humans, livestock and other wild animals in Australia.

Australian scientists released the virus into mosquitoes, where it was transmitted to rabbits and quickly spread throughout the rabbit population.

Through this method, more than 80% of the rabbit population in Australia was wiped out in just two years.

Although the rabbits were contained, this war between humans and rabbits made Australians still talk about rabbits in later generations. Rabbit hunting competitions are held almost every year to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

In addition to rabbits, Australian kangaroos are also very troublesome creatures. Although they are not as numerous as rabbits, Australian kangaroos are very powerful in combat.

Under normal circumstances, if Australian soldiers do not have guns in their hands, they will definitely be beaten black and blue by these kangaroos.

Powerful "combat rats" will also be seriously threatened if you encounter them in the wild and provoke them.
