Now that the foundation of the Chen family is not so deep, with Xiao Feng's reminder, Chen Yonglu did not dare to be too blindly optimistic, and immediately took out the phone and called.

Bella also started to call, and for about half an hour, after the sister and brother made more than a dozen calls in a row, their faces finally became gloomy.

"Made, when I went to pick up Mario during the day, that guy was very happy to collect checks and spoke very beautifully, but now he doesn't answer the phone. ”

Chen Yonglu slammed his phone in annoyance, and Bella didn't seem to be smooth.

"Gomez's side is not going well either, and he just hesitates to ask something. It was his secretary who was a little more cheerful, and it is said that after meeting us in the morning, they met the Japanese. ”

Bella's words made Xiao Feng and Chen Yonglu sink in their hearts, this Gomez and Mario are the congressmen of the copper country and the real power figures in charge of agriculture, forestry and fishery.

If you add Pablo, who was not very interested in them before, then the most powerful person in charge of fishing in the copper country can be said to have all been gathered.

If these guys are not kind to them, then the Chen family will have a hard time in the future.

Even if the municipality of Ithaca is reversible, it has to listen to the instructions of Santiago, right?

"What is the connection between the Li family and the Japanese, and why do these bigwigs change their faces after meeting the Japanese?"

Xiao Feng always felt that there was a layer of mist in front of him, and he never saw the situation in the copper country very thoroughly.

At this time, Bella began to explain to Xiao Feng the current political pattern and economic situation in the copper country.

"The pillar industries of the copper country are currently mainly mineral resources, fisheries, and forestry. Mineral resources are mainly copper ore, lithium ore, rare earth ore, and saltpeter resources. . . ”

After listening to Bella's words, Xiao Feng had a sudden feeling that the country of copper is really...

Although the terrain of the country seems small and very narrow, you don't have to say that people are really rich in minerals.

Let's just say that this copper mine has been mined for hundreds of years, but now it is still rich in reserves, not to mention your saltpeter mine.

And then there is the fact that there are lithium mines and rare earths in this country, if Bella doesn't say it, Xiao Feng really doesn't know, and Bella also said that the proven lithium ore resources, the copper country can be said to be the world's best.

It's just that the mining cost is high, so there is no large amount of mining.

Of course, these industries that are relatively easy to make money are in the hands of those native-born white families in the copper country.

These big families are inextricably linked with the suzerains of Europe, and even many European royal families, as well as the big chaebols of the United States.

These mineral deposits have always been monopolized in the hands of these people, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere, but fortunately, these people are also quite well-behaved.

They also have enough mineral resources, and they don't get involved in other industries too much.

So it gave a lot of other families the opportunity to rise later, such as the timber seller, and the one that was a high-fishery fisherman.

Because the copper country has a very long coastline and guards a large fish farm, the country's fishery resources are very rich.

Every year during the fishing season, fishing boats from all over the world come to their fishing grounds.

Of course, these fishing boats must apply for fishing permits, and overfishing is absolutely not allowed, otherwise once caught by the navy of the copper country, you will be fined at least bankrupt, and at worst you will be put in prison.

In Chile's fishing grounds, the Japanese are the ones who are most involved.

The Japanese love to eat fish is world-famous, Xiao Feng naturally knows this, but what he doesn't know is that among the nine major aquatic companies in the world, there are 4 Japanese companies.

And these four Japanese fishing giants have a very large network of relationships in the copper country.

Previously, when Morito and Japan launched in-depth cooperation, the main cooperation objects were these fishing companies.

The big fish farm of the copper country is famous in the world, but as early as the sixties and seventies of the last century, when the international began to vigorously engage in the development of deep-sea fisheries, in fact, the fishing grounds of the copper country are not particularly valued.

Because there are too many fish-rich seas in the world, such as rice, Canada, the United Kingdom, and even Australia, such rich countries, they all have long coastlines, and because of the geographical environment, they almost all have fish-rich fishing grounds.

At that time, although there were many fish in the fishing grounds of Tongguo, only some could be caught every year, which was enough to meet the domestic market, and there was basically no opportunity to expand the overseas market.

At that time, only the Meiwei company of Novi carried out salmon fishing in the Tongguo fishing grounds.

It can be said that the fishing industry did not bring much economic benefits to the copper country at that time.

It was not until Morito became president and worked closely with Japan that he vigorously promoted their copper fishing grounds to Japanese fishing companies, which attracted the attention of several Japanese giants, and also gave the green light to Japanese fishing companies that came to the copper fishing grounds, which led to the take-off of the copper country's fishery.

It can be said that Japan's four major aquatic giants, in addition to Mitsubishi's Sefik, the other three Maruharilu, Nippon Fisheries, and Polar Ocean Fisheries are all operating in the Tongguo Fishing Grounds.

This kind of cooperation has made a large number of people rich in the copper country fishery, and it has also made these three Japanese fishery and fishery companies make a lot of money.

Therefore, up to now, the fishing grounds of Tongguo have basically become the traditional sphere of influence of these three Japanese companies, and it is basically difficult for other fishing companies to penetrate here.

"The current situation is that 40 percent of the annual output of the Tongguo fishery has fallen into the hands of these three Japanese fisheries companies. The other 10% is controlled by the copper country's own fishing company, mainly to meet the domestic market of the copper country. The other 10 percent is distributed to other overseas fishing companies, such as Huaguo and Nanchao. And the remaining forty percent is in the hands of our Isaac region... ”

Bella told Xiao Feng this, and Xiao Feng basically understood what was going on.

"You're saying that your Karapague archipelago region controls forty percent of the output of the Copper Country's fishing grounds?"

"That's right! This is mainly because of the geographical location of the Calapague Islands, which happens to be stuck at the intersection of the cold Peruvian current and the warm Pacific current. We have more than 150 islands, large and small, and there are all kinds of deep and shallow seas near this archipelago, as well as active volcanoes under the sea, so the geothermal and mineral resources are very rich, and the hot and cold seawater alternates obviously. Therefore, every year during the fishing season, the various fishery resources that are active in our jurisdiction are estimated to account for 40% of the fishing grounds in Tongguo!"

"No wonder, this is the guilt of Huaibi!"

After listening to Bella's explanation, Xiao Feng gradually understood why the big man in San Diego couldn't help but make a move on the Ithaca region.

They are so small that they still occupy such a good place, and the fishery resources under the fish in the waters of their autonomous territory alone are worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars every year.

But these guys only fight a little bit every year, it is enough to only satisfy themselves to eat and drink, and what is even more hateful is that they still do not open their licenses to the public, they do not fight, and they do not let others fight.

It's no wonder that some people are dissatisfied with them, they are blocking some people's financial paths!

Previously, the Li family must have reached some deal with those Japanese, so they were willing to support them.

"There had been a proposal to remove our Dominion of the Carapag Islands, and a councillor named Langley had put it forward a few months ago. But as soon as I brought it up, we shot it to death. Now that I think about it, it must have been a temptation from those guys. ”

Chen Yonglu said with a gloomy face, and Xiao Feng also nodded.

"Now that we've taken over Ithaca, they haven't figured out the situation yet, but they can't help but do it. ”

Bella followed and said, Xiao Feng frowned, originally just wanted to invest, but he really didn't expect to cause so much trouble.

Now that he has been involved in the affairs of the Chen family, it seems that he must settle the matter before he can leave.

"So at present, it seems that our obvious enemies are Gomez, Pablo, and Mario, who are the real people in charge of the fishing industry?"

Xiao Feng touched his chin and said, Chen Yonglu and Bella nodded.

"They are the real power figures in the agriculture, forestry and fishery departments of the copper country, and if they are behind it, then we are really in trouble. ”

"Well, let me think about how to deal with them. ”

Xiao Feng couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he had to deal with the Chen family's sisters and brothers first, and then went back to the room to rest.

And this night, in the city of San Diego, it was not peaceful.

Fierce shootouts broke out in several residential areas, with gunshots and explosions coming one after another, and although Xiao Feng and his family lived in a high-end villa area far from the city, they heard gunfire this night.

Xiao Feng naturally knew what was going on, and the citizens of San Diego seemed to be accustomed to such a situation.

On the one hand, because of the recent period of continuous turmoil, although the situation of the riots has been controlled, those restless young people will still go to the streets every once in a while to make some trouble.

And when they do things, there will always be some gang members, smashing, looting, burning, and fishing in troubled waters.

In addition, when it comes to gangs, there has never been a shortage of these guys on the Copper Country's side.

In the last century, when the flour business was rampant in South America, there were many people in the copper country who did this business, but compared to their Colombian counterparts, these people were very low-key.

These gangs are now entrenched in many neighborhoods of San Diego, and wars break out over turf or interests every once in a while.

So the citizens of San Diego are used to this kind of situation.
