845 South Gate
This is equivalent to entrusting China to help the Calapague Islands build infrastructure!
Hua Guo was naturally the happiest with this kind of work, and even Qin Xiaotian was happy when he heard this.
If this achievement is brought back, it is far more than completing the task of debt collection, and it can even be said to be a major political achievement.
Now China is full of excess infrastructure capacity, and the whole world has to help people build bridges and pave roads.
Once the other party completes the construction of bridges and paves roads, then the local resources will naturally become the circle of interests of Huaguo.
This is like the beginning of the last century, when the European and American powers built railways in China, it seems that you will build a railway, but the natural resources within a few kilometers of the railway will also belong to others.
This is also the main reason why the European and American powers reacted so strongly to China's wanton construction of railways and highways in Africa.
Because of these roads, those local governments will get closer and closer to the Chinese, and they will also lose control of those countries.
Some people also say that Europe and the United States are so strong in technology and so rich, they can also go to Africa to build railways?
Oh, if it was a few decades ago, maybe there would still be this possibility.
But now they can't even build their own bridge, and they're going to help the Africans build roads? They can't afford to suffer that.
And now the Calapage Islands are willing to use the lease rights of several islands to let Huaguo help them build infrastructure for free, which is a big business for Qin Xiaotian.
Don't look at the first one is free, such as helping to repair roads, docks, and even airports, a lot of work is donated to the people of Kalapag for free.
But what about your later maintenance?
For example, the telecom base station, in such an island to build a base station, the life of the base station parts is generally not long.
Other places may only need to replace parts in three or five years, but here it may take one change a year, doesn't it cost money to replace parts?
And once the Chinese standard telecommunications equipment is used for the first time, then when it is upgraded in the future, the equipment will also be used, and there is no free saying at that time.
So the first one is free, in fact, it's not a big deal for Huaguo, and there will be a lot of money to be made from long-term cooperation in the future.
And this Calapague is not the kind of place where nothing is produced and birds don't.
There's a lot to be paid here!
This Boss Xiao is said to be engaged in island farming here!
In addition to raising cattle and sheep, it is said that there are also several sea ranches, and even salmon are raised.
If these resources are shipped back to China, they can be exchanged for a lot of money.
So in this way, it is absolutely cost-effective to help them build infrastructure.
Qin Xiaotian was happy, and Xiao Feng and Chen Yonglu were also very happy.
Because the construction team from Huaguo came in, it also saved them a lot of trouble, because they now hire hourly workers.
And Qin Xiaotian, if they send someone over, it will be the national team, the construction speed, and the standard, which are not comparable to these small construction teams.
The most important thing is that people don't want money!
They also know that maintenance and upgrades cost money, but so what, they can save a lot of money in the early stage, and once the economic chain of the Carapague Islands is up and running.
Are you afraid that you won't have money by then?
So the two sides quickly finalized the intention of cooperation, and in front of the two, Qin Xiaotian called China.
And some people in China he contacted were also excited when they heard that there was an archipelago here and needed them to build infrastructure.
Although Xiao Feng doesn't have to give money, the other party can apply for subsidies with China, even if the country does not give subsidies, they can also get subsidies from Huaguo Petroleum.
Therefore, the construction party must not suffer a loss, and this is a win-win deal.
The next day, the other party sent several planning experts, all of whom were urgently deployed from South America by the construction team.
At this time, Xiao Feng knew the depth of Huaguo's penetration into the South American continent.
It turns out that we have always had construction teams in countries like Peru and Bolivia.
And these construction teams are almost inextricably linked with the national team.
For example, some construction teams are subordinate to the railway construction, some are subordinate to the petroleum system, and some are subordinate to the telecommunications unit.
Anyway, they were all sent to the South American continent in the name of building bridges and paving roads and building telecommunications base stations.
The delegates who came this time belong to the railway construction and petroleum systems, and they are very concerned about the infrastructure construction of the Calapague Islands.
It was even finalized on the same day that they would donate a hospital, a school, and a gymnasium to Meihua Island, and they didn't have to worry about other port construction.
Just take the drawings and let them take care of the rest.
Such a fanatical work attitude really surprised Xiao Feng and Chen Yonglu, Xiao Feng had also heard of these domestic construction teams before, and they were crazy overseas.
I didn't expect it to be so fanatical.
But later, when he entertained the construction team for dinner, he understood why the other party was so excited.
Feelings, they are also forced!
The leader of the construction team in railway construction is a middle-aged man surnamed Deng, and his eyes are a little red after a few glasses of wine.
"Brother, don't you know how depressed we are working in Bolivia? That place was originally a plateau, and it was rainy and humid, so we didn't adapt to the climate, and we thought that we could finish it quickly, but the local workers really left you speechless. Work for one day, repair for two days, often pay wages today, and disappear tomorrow. A project was originally scheduled to take 60 days, but it can be done in 180 days...... Working with them, I'm really holding back the fire in my belly!"
"Hey, why don't we have it in Peru? The locals are lazy and gluttonous, and they often run into bandits, and they won't let you start work without paying. There are even some people who turn into guerrillas at night and kidnap our engineers, my grandmother of the grass tower. ”
Lao Chang, the captain of the construction team under the oil system, also complained.
They are all sappers of the country, and they have tasks on them, so they can only come here to work, but with those slackers, they are really about to explode.
And when they knew that there was a Chinese autonomous region on the side of Tongguo, and there was an island of 100% Chinese blood, and now they were going to develop it on a large scale, they were excited.
If this island is built, it will be the southern gate for China to enter South America.
With such a strategic fulcrum, then they can attack and retreat.
When I got tired of working in South America, I went to the island to rest for a few days, no matter how bad it was, it was all Chinese-speaking here, which was better than living with those lazy people.
Therefore, these two foremen are very enthusiastic about construction.
And Qin Xiaotian also means this, once he helps the Calapague Islands complete the infrastructure, then this is the gateway for Huaguo to enter and exit South America.
Xiao Feng and Chen Yonglu naturally understand this, which is equivalent to getting on the ship of Huaguo.
But other than that, they have no better choice.
This night, everyone chatted late, and the guests and hosts enjoyed eating.
And Xiao Feng went back to Lijiadao at night, but as soon as he went back, he was called by Antar and Yunduo.
"Mr. Xiao, today we made a major discovery when we inspected Nantai Island. ”
Antar spoke.
Xiao Feng was stunned: "What are the major discoveries?"
"We found a treasure on the island?"
"What treasure?"
"Look. ”
Antar said, took out a camera, and called up the picture for Xiao Feng to see.
Then Xiao Feng was stunned, it was a brick wall made of gold bricks, and there was a gold mountain on the other side, all of which were made of various gold, silver and jewelry.
This is simply a legendary treasure cave, thinking about this neighborhood, but a famous pirate treasure hiding place, Xiao Feng pondered, this will not be the place where those pirates hid treasure in the past, right?
But he soon threw the idea out of his mind, looking at the gold bricks that were neatly stacked in hard-shell storage boxes, which were not the purity that could be refined in ancient times.
He suddenly sounded Li Zhen told himself that the Li family had been planning a sneak attack recently, on the one hand, to find the field, and on the other hand, to get out the treasure they had hidden on this nearby island.
These should be the treasures left by the Li family!
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Feng immediately sat up straight: "What island are you talking about?"
"Nantai Island? ”
Yun Duo took out a tablet, and then pulled it up for Xiao Feng.
The tablets are all pictures of the Nantai Island they took, which is not very large in size and can have several square kilometers.
The islands are all steep slopes and lush forests, and the terrain is not suitable for island farming.
And such islands are in the Carapague archipelago, that's a lot of them.
Even according to international judgment, this is not an island at all, because according to international standards, if you want to be an island, you must first have enough fresh water resources on the island.
If you don't have fresh water, you don't deserve to be called an island, and you don't even have the qualifications to be marked on a map.
And such small islands, in the Southwest Pacific region, are simply in the thousands.
Xiao Feng hadn't paid attention to this Nantai Island before, so it looked very strange at this time.
"Where is this island?"
"It's just northeast of Lijia Island, and because there is no fresh water, there is no one living on the island. And because of the topography, the island is not very suitable for island farming. ”
"And how did you discover the treasure on this island?"
"We visited the other 20 islands today, and on our way back, we found this island, and we felt that it was a good fit to set up a laboratory on this island. I went to the island to take a look, but I didn't expect to find a cave on the island, and we found this treasure along the cave as we walked inside. ”
Yun Duo seemed to be able to say to Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng nodded.
"Alright, let's go over and have a look. ”
