"Didn't scare you last night, did you?"

Finally out of the capital area, Chen Yonglu also breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked Xiao Feng with a little embarrassment.

Of course, Xiao Feng was not frightened, he had experienced a lot more in the other world than this terrifying corpse mountain and sea of blood.

"Haha, I'm a little scared, after all, I haven't experienced this situation!"

But naturally he wouldn't say that, and he wasn't afraid last night, Jesse was frightened, after all, the fiery scene looked really scary.

"Hey, it's also a fool's errand. ”

Chen Yonglu talked to Xiao Feng and them, it turned out that he had been in Huaguo before, and he knew the situation in Tongguo, that is, he climbed the wall to watch the news.

But when I came back this time, because I was discussing with my family about cooperating with Xiao Feng and them, I found that something was wrong in the copper country.

Brazil's economy is weak, and even before that, there was a crisis, and the people went to the streets to make trouble, and then this crisis spread to Argentina, and Argentina also broke out an economic crisis, and the people also took to the streets to make trouble.

And in the end, the copper country, one of the three small powerhouses in South America, did not escape it, and the same thing broke out.

And the cause of the incident was because the subway company in Tongguo announced a price increase of four cents, saying that it was because of the rise in international oil prices.

But the common people quit, because a two-piece ticket, and a six-piece ticket, are nothing to the rich, but for most of the people who belong to the extreme poverty of the copper country, it is a big burden.

At this time, under Chen Yonglu's explanation, the illusion that the copper country was listed by the United Nations as breaking through the middle-income trap and the first developed country in South America was also debunked.

It is true that the copper country is rich, but it has always been those big families who are rich.

These large families have existed since the time of Spanish colonization, and it was these native-born white people who led the local Araucans to drive out the Spanish colonists and establish the current Copper Country.

And these native-born whites have always been the highest top in the country, and they control all the major departments of the copper country.

Copper mines, saltpeter mines, as well as various pastures, forestry resources, fishery resources, etc., are in their hands.

Moreover, they also have a very close intersection with the capital of the United States and Europe, and often unite together to shear the wool of the local people.

So in fact, the living conditions of the local people in the copper country are not rich, and even 80% of them live below the middle level.

It is still far from the so-called developed countries!

“。。。 Of course, it has to do with the habits of the locals... ”

Chen Yonglu also introduced Xiao Feng to the local ethnic habits, in fact, the country has developed to the present, there are no pure-blooded Indians and whites, most of them are mixed-race.

And the habits of these people are very close to those of the Indians, that is, the hedonistic supremacy, the kind that has wine today and is drunk today.

Although it is not enough to earn a penny, it is not too much, the salary is paid today, and it will be spent in three days, and then the rest can only stay up and wait until the next salary.

Most people don't have much of a concept of saving, which is the main reason why most people live in poverty.

“。。。 In fact, if you say something politically incorrect, these people are just lazy. I also went back to my hometown to see, really, if you let the people from your hometown come, in a few years, the people here will have to be eliminated... ”

When Chen Yonglu said this, his expression was very complicated, with a lot of anger and indisputable flavor.

Xiao Feng can also understand his mentality, in fact, many South American countries and African countries are facing such problems.

It's not that the land is not rich enough, the population is not enough, and there is no shortage of resources, but they can't develop.

Why? It's because I'm so industrious!

God is too good to them, in the wilderness, it is easy to find food, so people have no motivation to improve, and this situation continues, and these people develop the national habits.

So this is also the main reason why the current world powers and major civilizations are coming from the colder Tropic of Cancer generation.

It is precisely because of the poor living conditions that the people living in that area have to use their brains and hands more, which has created a more advanced civilization.

And these aborigines living in South America, in Xiao Feng's opinion, are indeed living too comfortably.

The Ithaca region, where Chen Yonglu's hometown is located, is located in a desert area in the north of the copper country, and the environment here is not very good.

The surrounding land is barren, with the Andes to the east, the desert to the north, and near the foothills are abandoned mining areas, which have largely been mined out.

Icak City, the capital of the Ithaca region, is a medium-sized city with a population of more than one million people, almost all of whom are of Chinese descent.

It's just that because they have lived here for more than 100 years and have intermarried with local aborigines and native whites in large numbers, the people here basically don't see the appearance of Chinese people.

The most important thing is that most of the people here believe in Catholicism, so there is still a big difference from the traditional Chinese.

The only way to identify them is to see if there will be a Chinese character pinyin in the middle of their names, and if there is, it is basically Chinese.

Although the surrounding area of this city is very barren, it can be seen that the people in this city are not living in difficulty, and even looking at their mental state, they are better than the capital they went to yesterday.

This made Xiao Feng very confused.

"Xiao Chen, what are the main industries here?"

"Ahh The cherries and some herbs produced here are not bad. The other is the fishing industry. ”

Xiao Chen talked about this a little hesitantly, and Xiao Feng didn't believe it, just relying on these low-output industries could make more than a million people in the city live so nourishingly.

In the evening, they stayed in a villa in the city of Chen Jia, and according to Chen Yonglu, they would stay here for one night today and take them out to sea tomorrow.

In the evening, Jesse explained to Xiao Feng the situation in the city.

"Xiao, there are a lot of things that are hard to say in the report before, since they have all come to Ithaca, then I will tell you about this city! At present, this city is mainly managed by four big families, namely the Chen family, the Li family, the Weng family, and the Mai family! The Chen family and the Weng family are old families, but the Weng family fell a little bit decades ago, but the Li family came back to catch up. ”

Jesse introduced Ithaca's situation to Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng listened carefully.

It turned out that in the early years, as the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when they came here as miners, it was the Weng family and the Chen family who took the lead in the movement, and were later recruited by the Copper State government.

Joined the army that fought against Peru, and was rewarded for his outstanding performance, so he got Ithaca's self-made land.

In fact, the Weng family was the leading brother back then, but the leader was killed in the battle, and later others helped the descendants of the Weng family in order to commemorate the leading brother.

In this way, there are two major families, the Chen family and the Weng family, but in the sixties and seventies of the last century, there was an iron-fisted leader in the copper country, and at the same time, he suppressed the young people who made domestic movements, and also sorted out the domestic environment.

The people of the Weng family suffered a lot of losses because they stood on the wrong team, and they were barely saved later.

And that time has also been the most chaotic event in the South American continent, with all kinds of big DU owls running rampant.

At that time, the most popular ones were the Medellín Group in Colombia and the Cali Group, but in fact, in other countries, such as Bolivia, Brazil and other countries, there are also many invisible industry tycoons.

Later, the first birds in Colombia were exterminated, but the big DU owls in other countries are still living happily.

At that time, in the Ithaca region, which was trapped by life, there were many young people with dreams of becoming rich overnight, and went to Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia and other places to seek a living.

Relying on being ruthless, righteous, and smart, that group of young people quickly became famous, established a relationship network with many local DU owls, and made a lot of money.

Even now, there are some families who still have an innocent relationship with those guys.

Because of this underground access, the Ithaca area, despite not looking at any decent industry, is not bad for the people here.

And this is also the main reason why Chen Yonglu contacted Xiao Feng to cooperate this time, because their family wanted to wash their hands and didn't want to continue on the original road.

Now that the world is peaceful, no one wants to do this kind of business at home all day long, not only does it not have a good reputation but is also pointed at by others, and there is not much development in the long run.

However, it is obvious that some people in these families do not think so, such as the rising star Li family, who is very opposed to the idea that the Chen family wants to wash their hands and go ashore.

At several meetings in a row, the Chen family's proposal was opposed by the Li family.

Now in this city, the mayor is basically sitting in turns with these families, and the council is basically the representative puppet of their families, this area is firmly controlled by them, and even their power has penetrated into the center.

But to really solve the problem, they still have to hold a meeting of several families to decide, and these families are equivalent to the soil emperor here.

Hearing Jesse's introduction here, Xiao Feng nodded, it seems that this trip to South America is destined to not be so simple!

Inside, it seems that the water is very deep!

But the more this happens, the better it is for him.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Chen Yonglu took them out of the villa, came to the dock, and got on a yacht directly.

"There are more than 800 large and small islands in Tongguo, with a total island area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, of which more than 700 are uninhabited islands, and about 100 are now inhabited. The Carapague archipelago is the most advantageous in it, consisting of more than 100 islands with a total area of 387 square kilometers... ”

Chen Yonglu took Xiao Feng and them to sit in the cabin, drinking coffee while introducing Xiao Feng and them to the situation of the Karapague Islands, which belong to their Chinese ethnic group.

After about a morning, the land began to appear in the distance...
