639 Ithaca 'Prince'
I opened a new book "The Peak of Science and Technology", everyone supports it! This time it is a science and technology article, I hope it will satisfy everyone's appetite. I sincerely ask you to collect a lot and recommend it!
This so-called 'prince' from South America came quite quickly, and the day after Xiao Feng asked Xiao Lin to inform him, this person came to Bincheng.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Feng met His Royal Highness the 'Prince' in his office.
This prince is of medium stature, but he is very strong, and his body shape is indeed different from that of the Chinese people.
Looking at the appearance, it is not a Chinese face, the skin is neither white nor yellow, anyway, it looks like a mixed race, and it is the kind that mixes a lot of blood.
But black hair, black eyes, and facial features are not as deep as those of pure Europeans, and some Chinese blood can still be seen.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Feng. ”
"Hello, hello, my name is Chen Yonglu, and my English name is Tony. ”
Xiao Feng didn't expect this person to speak Chinese so well, and he was really surprised, and the man looked at him in surprise, and laughed.
"I've been in China for years!"
This kid is really clever, just by looking at Xiao Feng's expression, you can know what Xiao Feng is thinking, Xiao Feng can't help but have a little good impression of this young man.
"Haha, okay, do you go to college in Huaguo?"
"yes! ”
"Oh, that's good, by the way, what do you drink? tea, coffee, or... ”
Xiao Feng showed the guy the wine cabinet, and the guy was quite knowledgeable and ordered a glass of gin.
"By the way, what did you do before?"
"Hey, it's just to do some import and export trade, contact the source of goods from the mainland, and then buy it back to my hometown." ”
"Can you tell me about your hometown? To be honest, when Xiao Lin told me about it yesterday, it was the first time I had heard of it!"
"Haha, indeed, few people in my hometown have heard of it, okay, let me introduce it to Mr. Xiao. ”
Speaking of his hometown, this Chen Yonglu opened the conversation.
It turns out that this matter has to start more than 100 years ago, at the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Qing army, the Taiping army boarded a ship to the South American continent in Xiangjiang.
When I boarded the ship, I signed a contract with someone, and I was called a contract miner back then, and now I sell piglets.
In this way, more than 10,000 Taiping troops went to the South American continent with their families, and the area they arrived in was called Ikak, which was not a good place.
Bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the desert to the west, it was originally a territory that belonged to Peru.
After arriving in the local area, these indentured miners began the road of being squeezed, and they were very hard to be squeezed at first, but these people who were rebellious in China were naturally unwilling to continue to be squeezed in this way.
I was able to fill my stomach before, but then I couldn't even eat my stomach, so I naturally had to rise up and resist.
So there was a second uprising on the South American continent, which coincided with the war between the copper country, Peru, and Bolivia for saltpeter.
So these miners revolted and went to the location of the mine, and the area where they were originally located belonged to Peru, so Peru naturally sent troops to crusade.
As a result, the native army of Peru, whose combat effectiveness was really low, was defeated by these experienced Taiping troops several times, and even killed several generals.
At this time, when Tongguo saw that this group of people was quite strong, he was moved by compassion, as if they were in an olive branch.
If they join the Copper Country's side and the war ends, the Copper Kingdom will give them this mining area, as well as the desert and overseas islands to which they belong, as an autonomous region.
So this group joined the army of the Copper Country, and together with the Copper State, they launched wars against Peru and Bolivia.
And the people of the copper country actually didn't have any good intentions at first, and they didn't equip them with too many guns and bullets.
But the remnants of this group of Taiping Army, relying on this war experience, built Taiping Island, used pennants as banners, wore brown clothes, and defeated the Peruvian army and the Bolivian army many times.
He helped the Copper army conquer the city, defeated the Peruvian and Bolivian armies many times, and stood at the vanguard of this war.
General Pizzo, who commanded the war, admired them very much, and not only provided them with more material treatment, but also greatly increased the reward for them.
This made the gang even more courageous in battle, and they soon gained the prestige of the Browns.
In the end, with their help, the Copper people won the saltpeter war between the three kingdoms and completely controlled the control of the saltpeter mining area.
And the people of Tongguo have not forgotten their roots, they always remember the contributions of these Chinese in this war.
They kept their promise and divided the Taiping army, the city of Icak that they had captured, and all the surrounding mining areas, as well as the foreign islands, to these Taiping remnants, making it the Isaac Autonomous Region.
The leaders of these Taiping Army were also very sensible, making the people abide by the laws of the Copper Country, and intermarrying with the locals in a large number of ways, striving to integrate into the local society as soon as possible.
And they are also the most successful group of overseas Chinese, and now their Isaac district is still a very influential area in the copper country.
The permanent population of this region has more than 200,000 people of Chinese ancestry, and hundreds of thousands of others who do not have Chinese ancestry but also have in-laws.
And this Chen Yonglu is one of the descendants of several Taiping Army leaders back then.
After listening to Chen Yonglu's explanation, Xiao Feng finally understood why this guy was called 'Prince'.
Originally, he thought that this guy gave himself the name of 'prince', not a liar, but to attract attention and get a nickname.
Now it seems that there is some reason.
He had heard stories about this before, but he took it too seriously, and he didn't expect to meet such a Chinese Yu Mai today.
Xiao Feng was very happy and chatted with Chen Yonglu for a long time, but most of the time, it was through him to learn about the South American continent, the copper country, and the situation in the Ithaca region where he was located.
In the evening, he asked Kobayashi to take the 'prince' downstairs for a meal.
Although this 'prince' is not ordinary, he is not yet noble enough to ask him to greet him personally, not to mention that he can't confirm whether what this guy said is true or not.
After sending this Chen Yonglu away, Jesse knocked on the door and walked in.
Xiao Feng looked at her and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
"Of course, boss, No, this is the information you want. ”
Jesse smiled and pushed Xiao Feng a piece of information, and Xiao Feng began to flip through it, these materials were the information he asked Jesse to go out to inquire about Chen Yonglu and the situation in the Isaka district he said.
Although he has the intention to cooperate with this Chen Yonglu, he really needs to carefully understand the situation of this Chen Yonglu, and it is impossible for him to believe what he says.
Although Jesse has left Citi, she still has a very close relationship with this bank, so it is naturally convenient to collect some information about the Ishaca district through this bank.
After all, Citi also has a lot of economic contacts in the copper country.
According to the information given by Citi, Chen Yonglu really didn't say much.
At least the history of the Taiping Army's foothold on the South American continent and the establishment of the Ithaca region is correct, and there was indeed a family surnamed Chen among the main leaders of the Taiping Army at that time.
This Chen Yonglu said a lot of information is accurate, but his description of the Isaka district is not as good as he said in Citi's report.
In fact, for a period of time after the saltpeter war, these descendants of the Taiping army lived really well in Ithaca.
But after the end of World War II in the last century, all the countries of South America fell into a period of turmoil.
Later, the copper country experienced the emergence of important figures, and then the emergence of a Japanese president, and during the reign of these two people, they were not very friendly to the Ithaca region, where there is a large Chinese population.
In addition, there have been several infighting between themselves, and the community has gradually become divided.
Moreover, in the sixties and seventies of the last century, because of poverty, some of their families even participated in the vigorous white flour sales in South America that year.
He has a very close relationship with several big drug lords in South America, and even took advantage of his special status as an autonomous region and many islands to open a lot of banks.
As for what to do with opening a bank, everyone naturally understands it very well.
Although it is not so showy now, it seems that there are still many families who are still in some shady industries.
And this Chen Yonglu is indeed a child of one of the families, and he is also thinking about leading the family to transform.
After reading these materials, Xiao Feng basically understood that what Chen Yonglu said to himself before was a half-truth.
Their family, rooted in the South American continent, has been in business for more than a century, and if you want to talk about strength, it is definitely not bad.
But the only thing I dare not say is probably the family background.
Xiao Feng began to ponder whether it was worth working with them.
After thinking about it, I didn't make a decision right away.
At this time, it was getting late, and he decided to go to have a meal first, and then go to He Fangzhou's side tomorrow to have a look.
He Xiaojun told himself before that he studied the snake venom he gave him last time, and he seemed to have made some achievements.
After coming back this time, he was busy attracting investment to join, and he was busy with the opening of the Sunshine Burn Hospital, so he really didn't pay much attention to his laboratory.
I'll be free tomorrow, so I can check it out.
In addition, after looking at the laboratory on his side, he had to go to the island in the south, and Mr. Zhang promised to assign that island to the ninth laboratory, and he had to step on it himself.
In addition, Peter also contacted him several times through Katya, asking how he was preparing for the seafood processing, and after a while, he would have to go to Russia to see.
Next, naturally I need to go to Liukin's side to purchase a batch of weapons and ammunition, and then go to the other world to have a look, this time I came back for so long, and I don't know if there is anything wrong there.
