Chapter 249: A New City
While talking, the group had already returned to Cuifeng Village, and after eating a little supper, they rested separately.
The next day, Cang Hao got up and had just eaten early, and received a call from Pang Jindong.
Pang Jindong had already retired, but due to various factors, he came back to the fore and began to work on a grand project, that is, the Kra Canal.
For this canal, the Kra Canal Group was specially established, and the Cao Group, the Red Devil Group and the T Kingdom became the largest shareholders, and the Blood Lion Group, which had been hidden underwater, of course, also became a shareholder.
Speaking of which, the Blood Lion Group is actually just a capital concept, with huge financial assets and enjoying benefits, but it is not a real enterprise with entities.
The Blood Lion Group has neither an office location nor a constituent staff, and the so-called Blood Lion Group is actually the Blood Lion mercenaries themselves, and all the benefits obtained from all assets are enjoyed by the Blood Lion mercenaries.
For such a long time, the Blood Lion mercenaries have followed Cang Hao to fight in the south and the north, and on the surface, it seems that Cang Hao has not paid anyone anything. After all, anyone needs to earn money to live, especially mercenaries fighting for money, in fact, everyone's source of livelihood is the Blood Lion Group.
Speaking of which, among the four major shareholders, the most interesting is the Red Devil Group, a drug organization that once frightened the whole of Southeast Asia, which was transformed into a legal enterprise by Pang Jindong. Let them have a serious livelihood and get rid of drugs from now on, which is the goal pursued by Pang Jindong.
Through a series of transformations, Pang Jindong has gained tremendous authority over the Red Devil Group, and Hong Miaoxue, the de facto leader of the Red Devil Group, is still missing.
Occasionally, Hong Miaoxue will contact the Red Devil Group to prove that she is safe and sound.
Pang Jindong originally wanted to find Hong Miaoxue, but during this time, Hong Miaoxue didn't cause any trouble outside, and Pang Jindong didn't bother to pay attention to it.
As long as Hong Miaoxue no longer touches drugs, Pang Jindong will live up to his deceased wife's entrustment, and he can let her live the life she wants to live, even if she is gay.
The project required huge financial support, and the Jews were always providing financing services, and although Rondblok and Rothschild had not been seen for some days, the cooperation between the Canal Group and the Jews had been going well.
As the project progressed, the Kra Isthmus was formed on the side of the South China Sea, where the planned canal opened.
The construction of the canal requires a large number of workers, and Cao's Real Estate has rich experience and technology in infrastructure construction, so the Canal Group recruited a large number of workers from China.
Since the canal project is on the territory of country T, then a large number of workers from country T must also be recruited, and if this project does not create enough jobs for country T, then there will certainly be many individuals or organizations in country T who oppose the project.
A large number of workers have generated a large number of living needs, so this also means business opportunities, from China to the entire Indochina Peninsula, many people go to the canal area to pan for gold, the result is a variety of restaurants, pubs, supermarkets and even foot baths in the local flowering,
These people who came to pan for gold further brought more business opportunities, originally they were here to make the workers' money, but now there are many people who come to make their money.
As a result of the growing number of people, a number of supporting facilities have been built, including hospitals, schools and entertainment venues.
Pang Jindong sent Cang Hao a photo, a new comprehensive shopping mall has risen from the ground, with a variety of brand-name clothing and clothing, and even a cinema and beauty salon, so on the basis of meeting the needs of life, a local industry and commerce has been formed.
Many devout workers also donated to build a church and a temple to meet people's spiritual needs.
Not only people have their own needs, but also machinery and equipment, because the project needs to use a large number of engineering equipment, so the maintenance and daily maintenance of the equipment need manpower. Further, many parts need to be produced locally, so that you can save costs, if only a screw has to travel across the ocean to purchase is obviously not cost-effective, so around these machinery and equipment has produced a local machinery manufacturing industry.
On the basis of all this, this brand new city appeared, which was named "Canal City" by Pang Jindong.
The layout of the whole city is planned in strict accordance with the standards of a modern city, and it has a population of more than 300,000.
This huge population figure was unexpected by Pang Jindong, and more and more people are coming here from the coastal areas of China. Because of the bad domestic economic situation in recent years, many small and medium-sized enterprises have closed down, especially in Guangsha areas, and there is serious overcapacity of various types. A grand project brought a good opportunity to absorb these production capacities, and as a result, many small and medium-sized enterprises came to Canal City to expand their business, and as a result, the city actually had a relatively complete industrial system.
Canal City, which was originally a small fishing village that was almost deserted, has taken on the appearance of a big city in such a short period of time, mainly due to the amazing construction ability of the Chinese nation.
Two days ago, Chawalit went to Canal City to inspect and praised the "miracle" again and again.
Bangkok, for example, has two international airports, the newer Suvarnabhumi International Airport has been under construction for more than 20 years.
If the people of country T were to build the canal themselves, they would not know that it would be completed in the Year of the Ox, and such a canal city would not have happened.
It must be mentioned that southern Thailand, where Canal City is located, is the most chaotic and turbulent area in the entire T country, and it is under military control all year round.
Now that Canal City has become a new city, it is logical that it will become the territory of the military, but Pang Jindong did not let the military succeed.
Pang Jindong used various means to keep the military's tentacles out, and then established an autonomous institution in Canal City.
The city has its own city government, police station, and all the departments necessary for municipal administration, and the self-government is not subject to military management, but nominally owes allegiance to the king and cabinet of the T country, but Chawalit is basically concerned with the internal affairs of the self-government.
Because the military administers southern Thailand, the military has the greatest influence in the region, and the autonomous state of this canal city is equivalent to chawali expelling his own territory from the military territory. In other words, it is an additional bargaining chip for Chawalit, so Chawalit unconditionally supports this state of autonomy.
It is also because the southern region of Thailand has been under military control for many years, and Canal City and the entire canal are in fact surrounded by the military, since the Chawalit cabinet has not been on good terms with the military for a long time, it is entirely possible that the military will suddenly take over the entire canal.
The problem was quickly resolved, and the troops of the South African base gradually moved into Canal City, where a regiment had been deployed so far, and Canal City became a de facto base for the Blood Lion mercenaries in Southeast Asia.
If the military of country T tries to attack Canal City, it will inevitably be fiercely blocked by the blood lion mercenaries, and it is impossible to succeed easily.
At the same time, in the Andaman Sea to the northeast, there is the Cheka base of Aurola.
If the military really acted rashly, Aurora would only have to attack from the northeast, and then she could form a flank attack with the Blood Lion mercenaries against the military of country T.
Obviously, the military of country T itself is well aware of this, and has never troubled Canal City, and the garrisons of country T around it have basically avoided Canal City and detoured.
Therefore, the most serious problem plaguing Canal City at present is internal problems, especially law and order.
Any new city will have serious security problems, especially those who dare to cross the ocean to pan for gold here, and they are somewhat adventurous and hooligan, and have a fierce and fierce temperament. In addition, there are people from many countries and different nationalities in the city, and due to differences in living habits and beliefs, it is easy to have friction with each other.
Before Pang Jindong brought the call to Cang Hao, he had just dealt with a large-scale fight between Chinese workers and workers in country T, and before that, there was a dispute between the Malay community and the residents of country T.
It can be said that Pang Jindong was completely tethered by the city and the entire canal project, so he never came to China during this time.
Pang Jindong is only Liao Chenghao who can share the work, so Liao Chenghao is also very busy, and he rarely even has time to call Liao Jiajun to ask about his life.
The two of them were really busy facing various problems, and Pang Jindong had no choice but to invite all his assistants Tang Yun, Tang Chuanjiang, and Liu Fuyi over.
"A new city...... Cang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "I'm very interested in going and seeing it!"
"Why don't you come and help me, I'll make you the deputy mayor." ”
"The official is still exempted. Cang Hao shook his head and said, "I can go over there to run some businesses, seek some investment channels for the capital of the Blood Lion Group and the Cao Group, and at the same time explore and operate some new business opportunities." ”
"You can too. Pang Jindong nodded: "In any case, as long as you come to Canal City, you can help me share a lot of things." It is estimated that the city's permanent population will exceed 500,000 within the year, and more than half of them are Chinese, so there is too much work to be done in all aspects. ”
"I listen to your description, it seems that this city has a shadow of a large building......"
"That's what happened. Pang Jindong nodded: "From the very beginning, this city has formed such a foundation, that is, with the Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation as the leading, blending different cultures and populations from all over the world, and has the potential to become an international metropolis." The city is a blank slate, so it is easy to build, and as long as you buy a grand blueprint and manage it carefully, the future of the city is limitless. ”
"It can even become a country, at least a free city. ”
"Yes. Pang Jindong said word by word: "This is our master's territory." ”
"I'll go to Canal City. Cang Hao said without hesitation: "I'll leave after I solve the trouble of the Dongying people." ”
Pang Jindong was very pleased: "Waiting for your good news!"
As soon as he put down Pang Jindong's phone, Serchenko came to Cang Hao: "Success!"
Cang Hao's eyes lit up: "Yu Chuansuke confessed?"
