Chapter 0397 - Building a Harbor

When watching American dramas in my previous life, many people may not understand why those witnesses were clearly scared, but in the end they were persuaded to stand up.

Including their friends, relatives will join in the persuasion.

It's not that they don't care about the safety of the other person, but because they think that if everyone thinks like this, everything they have will be destroyed.

This is the price that American citizens pay for their freedom, but it is not the only one.

If you want American freedom, you first need to see how expensive American citizens pay for 'freedom'.

Just the freedom to carry a gun will hurt as many people as possible.

There is also freedom of speech, after the development of the Internet, online verbal violence abroad is more terrible than in any country.

This also caused the Americans to have a big heart, and people always like to ridicule the 'optimistic and cheerful old beauty.' ’

In the face of funerals, disasters, and car accidents, he can still show a humorous and smiling side.

That's because in their lives, there are too many heaviness that outsiders can't understand, so they have to learn to be optimistic and cheerful.

There are always people who complain that the rabbit country is not good and that it is not good, but if they are allowed to really go to live in the United States.

When they truly appreciate the heaviness behind 'freedom', they will realize how happy their lives were.

"I heard from Brother Dog that the security problems in Chicago and Philadelphia are rising one after another, and even we can't control them?" asked the monk with some concern.

"Rest assured, Harry St. Sen Street is safe, it's the stronghold of S.H.I.E.L.D. Li Zitao knew that he was worried about his neighbors.

When it comes to the recent situation in Chicago, it is indeed a bit chaotic, and the FBI has been busy with several brutal serial homicides.

The Chicago FBI is investigating a cross-state robbery, John Dillinger, a gangster active in the Midwest.

He planned the robbery of 18 banks and 3 police stations, causing the tragic death of more than a dozen police officers in Chicago on the streets, and after being arrested, he could not prove a large number of criminal facts, and finally could only be sentenced to 5 years in prison for assault.

But in April, he escaped from Philadelphia again, and the F.B.I. is currently on pursuit.

According to the information they had, Dillinger was hiding in Chicago, but no one had found his whereabouts yet.

"Paul can't find it either?" asked the monk in surprise.

Paul's focus is shifting to Las Vegas, and it seems that someone wants to challenge his paternal authority. Li Zitao said casually.

He doesn't care about this kind of thing, as long as he doesn't provoke him, this kind of gang fight has nothing to do with him even if it is bloody.

Now he is a business tycoon, and it doesn't do him any good to be too deeply involved with the gang.

Besides, if Paul, who has S.H.I.E.L.D., can't even handle this little trouble, what value does he have?

Compared to these small things, the northern gas field is where he needs to pay attention, the construction of land transportation pipelines, refineries, and modern terminals.

Qatar's current wharf is not enough to accommodate an 80,000-ton giant ship docking, and the emir must first get the wharf done.

According to Li Zitao's plan, the new port will have 11 berths and a coastline length of about 2,000m.

According to Schlumberger's survey report, the maximum water depth can reach 12.5m, large cranes, refrigerated container terminals, these will be completed gradually.

The fishing and pearling industries in the Persian Gulf have great potential for development, and perhaps someone should try to cultivate pearls artificially and popularize pearls from the exclusive use of the aristocracy to the common market.

"Your Excellency Charlie, we need a loan. Emir brought his investment advisor to talk to Li Zitao about the follow-up development at the hotel.

They want to build a marina, but at the moment Qatar has no money to pay for it, and all the chiefs are poor.

"I have another proposal, would you like to hear about it?" Li Zitao said on the dock.

He was responsible for the construction of the entire terminal, and Lee C Astor Industries Group was granted the right to operate the Qatar terminal for 70 years.

"70 years is too high, Qatar must have the right to govern, to join the board. Instead of refusing, the emir offered to co-manage.

Some talks are good things, and the two sides agreed to officially start negotiations in 2 days, and the next step is to prepare their own documents, data and conditions.

Li Zitao also got in touch with Jonathan, who was in Paris, and had a two-hour communication on the matter.

Li Zitao explained in detail the current situation in the Persian Gulf, and also gave a very high affirmation to the oil yield in Dubai and other places.

The Persian Gulf will become the heart of the world's crude oil transportation in the future, and it is necessary to build a port here.

"In addition to Qatar, there is also Ras Al Khaimah, and we are going to build two docks, a modern dock that can repair large ships, and ships from other ports, which are the oldest free trade zones in the Persian Gulf."

Hearing that Li Zitao was going to build two modern ports at once, Jonathan also came to his senses, because his description was too tempting.

If the Persian Gulf is really full of oil, that alone will make them a lot of money.

At the same time, Jonathan also thought about Suez, the importance of this canal, I am afraid that it will cause many disputes in the future.

But none of this has anything to do with them, they're just businessmen, so leave this kind of thing to the big guys to worry about!

“... Wait, you're going to place artillery at Ras Al Khaimah, what are you going to do, block the bay and collect tolls?"

Jonathan, who was thinking about the port issue, was blinded by Li Zitao's coastal defense plan, which would cause a lot of trouble.

The situation in Europe is becoming more and more dangerous, and a small spark can ignite a barrel of explosives, so don't mess around!

"No one will know, I will talk to the Qamisi family in Ras Al Khaimah, it's just some defensive measures for security,

How important the future of the Persian Gulf is, Jonathan, you should know. ”

Seeing him so persistent, Jonathan believed in what he said about the future in his heart.

If what he says is true, then the importance of the Persian Gulf in the future cannot be denied.

In the event of a war in Europe, the colonies are likely to become a secondary battlefield, and it seems not so difficult to take the necessary precautions.

"Well, you'd better discuss this with your brains! I'm only concerned with the construction of the dockyard, can Burcht still have his hands free?"

Jonathan didn't want to meddle in his plans, those that had nothing to do with Lee C Astor Industries Group, and were what S.H.I.E.L.D. should be concerned about.

After finalizing the plan for the construction of the dockyard, he decided to communicate with S.H.I.E.L.D. when he returned, and then just wait patiently for negotiations.

The Persian Gulf during this period was boring, because of the various dogmas taught by ***, and there were not even bars to be seen here.

Transportation depends on camels, there are no entertainment projects, the mountains are full of yellow sand, and a herd tribe can only be seen from miles apart.

The situation is better in Doha, which is currently a port for fishing and pearling vessels.

Because of the pearl diving trade, at least some modern industry can be seen, otherwise Li Zitao really feels like he has returned to the 18th century.
