Chapter 638 Tanjung Priok Harbor
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Tanjung Prudentok is the outer port of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and the largest cargo port in Indonesia. And the port where Xiao Peng arrived is the Kaliburu Port in Tanjung Bugok Port. Xiao Peng came here for a purpose, and the reason is very simple, this port is a port for Huaxia investment.
Speaking of Huaxia's investment in the expansion of Kalibulu Port, Xiao Peng didn't understand why he wanted to invest in such a port in such a country that excluded China, and later Xiao Peng found that the existence of this port was simply the positioning of God.
Why do you say this? We have to start with Li Jiapo, the pioneer of the anti-China rush in South Asia.
Lijiapo is the latest country in South Asia to establish diplomatic relations with China, and although most of this country is of Chinese descent, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first road taken is to de-Huaxia and take the line of pro-Mi and anti-China. Over the years, it has added a lot of blockages to China. As long as there is an unfavorable situation in the international community against China, Li Jiapo will always be one of the first countries to speak out.
Of course, Lijiapo also has capital, don't look at this country is very small, but it is undeniable that this country is very rich, per capita GDP is very high, and the reason for this is very simple, Lijiapo is a place where you can make money lying down, and its geographical location is too good! It is at the mouth of the sea in Malacca, and Lijiapo Port has always been the largest entrepot port in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is also one of the largest container ports in the world, choking the shipping artery between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Li Jiapo not to make money.
The comprehensive construction of the "Belt and Road" in China can be said to benefit all countries along the entire route, and it is to bring everyone to make money together, but there are so many countries that say no to the Belt and Road, and there are two countries in South Asia that say no, one is Ah San and the other is Li Jiapo.
Ah San said no to the Belt and Road Initiative, and he also copied out a 'spice road' and 'monsoon plan', pulling more than 80 poor African brothers in one go, and I don't know whether the final result is to bring these more than 80 poor brothers to make a lot of money or to bring these poor brothers into the ditch.
And Li Jiapo relies on his geographical location and Chinese prestige. If you want to engage in the Belt and Road Initiative, then you have to go to the waters of Malacca, and if you want to go to the waters of Malacca, you have to go to the port of Lijiapo. So Li Jiapo wants to get greater benefits here. According to the agreement between the two countries, half of the Lijiapo airport is used exclusively by the US Air Force, and all the Mi military ships in Lijiapo ports can be berthed without prior notice. At present, the United States has deployed all its most advanced weapons and equipment in Lijiapo, such as the Pinhai combat ship and the F-35 fighter plane, and Lijiapo has everything, and if an accident occurs in the international community, the United States will have the absolute initiative as long as it blocks the Strait of Malacca.
As a result, Huaxia's methods made Li Jiapo dumbfounded, and the Tanjung Bugok Port, which was invested and expanded a few years ago, has begun to be put into use, and directly snatched the two largest customers of Lijiapo Port: Maersk, the world's largest shipping company, and the second largest shipping company, Taiwan Island Evergreen Group.
You know, was founded in 1999 Tanjung Bulok Port and Lijiapo Port compared to each other, but is just a nobody, although the distance between the two is only 40 minutes, but both hardware and software are far from Lijiapo Port, but the expansion of Tanjung Priok Port has been competitive, this time it snatched away 1/6 of Lijiapo's containers, and this is just the beginning, the rest of the shipping companies have also begun to ask Lijiapo Port to reduce prices, it is easy to cause a domino effect.
Of course, this is not the only means for Huaxia, which is also uniting Thailand and Malaysia to build the Kra Isthmus Canal, known as the 'Panama Canal of the East', and Port Klang in Malaysia, respectively.
If the construction of the former is completed, ships will be able to directly enter the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean from the Indian Ocean without passing through the Strait of Malacca. If the Kra Isthmus Canal is put into operation, it will be possible to shorten the sea voyage by at least about 1,200 kilometers! For the shipping company, this will save a lot of money!
At that time, it also meant that Li Jiapo's life was not good, after all, Li Jiapo was a small land, and in addition to maritime tourism, there was really no other industry to develop. Now Li Jiapo was also anxious, and went to negotiate with Mi Guo's father every day, but Mi Guo's father couldn't give them an idea: I didn't see his Mi Guo's father wanted to follow Huaxia to play the Belt and Road?
It is not known when the Kra Isthmus Canal will be put into operation, but the port of Tanjung Priok has indeed made Li Jiapo uncomfortable. At this point, Xiao Peng also has to go to Tanjung Priok Port to have a look, not to mention that hundreds of years ago, Zheng He once walked here?
However, it can be seen that it is close to the Strait of Malacca, and the number of shipwrecks has increased significantly. The rapids and waves of the Strait of Malacca were a great danger to the wooden boats of ancient times. However, most of the wrecked ships have been buried under the mud and sand, and Xiao Peng doesn't know if there are any ships worth salvage, so he can only record the coordinates and talk about it in the future.
Tanjung Priok Port is a container transit port, Xiao Peng's ship stopped at the peripheral bulk port, after all, this is not like Cambodia, this is a regular port, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng replenished the freshwater food, the two stepped on the dock together, and found a hotel to stay.
It's actually very tiring to live on a boat all the time, and this time Xiao Peng is not breaking the world record, it is better to rest or rest, and it is still appropriate to go ashore to play and relax.
Xiao Peng and the two took a bath happily in the hotel, at sea, bathing is the biggest trouble, although 'Guo Chuan' has a seawater desalination device, but the desalination of seawater used to take a bath always feels uncomfortable, take a bath here, feel the whole person is comfortable.
"Mengzi, let's go!" Xiao Peng patted on the door of Yang Meng's room.
Yang Meng opened the door, he was wrapped in a bath towel, and he looked like he had just taken a bath: "Why are you going?"
"What do you say?" Xiao Peng showed a sly smile.
Yang Meng directly understood: "Wait for me to get dressed!"
In all the ports of the world, there is one thing in common, and that is the bar. A GROUP OF SAILORS HAVE BEEN ADRIFT AT SEA FOR A LONG TIME, AND THE FIRST THING THEY THINK ABOUT AFTER GOING ASHORE MUST BE VENTING, SOME PEOPLE NEED ALCOHOL, SOME PEOPLE NEED WOMEN, AND THE SO-CALLED JACKY'S BAR JUST MEETS THE NEEDS OF BOTH.
Xiao Peng and the others went to the bar not for women, but because: this trip was too sudden, and they didn't prepare wine, and when the two wanted to drink two glasses during the voyage, they could only stare at the big eyes. When passing through Vietnam, he ran too fast, and when he passed through Cambodia, he had time, but the price of Cambodia made Xiao Peng really not want to go shopping: a bottle of Coke 1.5 meters gold, a bottle of Budweiser cans 5 meters gold, buy things there, really think you are a stupid hat?
So when they arrived in Indonesia, the first thing the two of them considered was to drink two glasses first.
However, to Xiao Peng's surprise, there is only one bar in such a large Tanjung Priok port, which is not small, called 'Nightingale'. As soon as you hear the name, you know what type of bar it is.
There is only one bar in Tanjung Priok Port, and it is understandable why Indonesia is a developing country with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, with a military dictatorship for a long time, more than 90% of the people are in abject poverty, and only a very small number of people are high and live a luxurious life, like Indonesia is also a big country, but its economic lifeline is in the hands of a small number of Chinese, the social unemployment rate has been high, and the poor population living less than two meters a day accounts for 50% of the total population of the country. Poor people abound on the streets of Indonesia's major cities, and slums are always hard to avoid. And the boss behind the scenes who can set up a bar in such a port must be a powerful rich and powerful person. This directly started a monopoly business.
Yang Meng was still interested when he first entered the door, but when he saw the appearance of the girl inside, he honestly sat with Xiao Peng to drink. Damn! A sow is a sow! No matter how you look at it, you can't become a sable cicada Okay, whether it's Xiao Peng or Yang Meng, there is no habit of casually giving benefits to dinosaurs.
But fortunately, the purpose of the two of them coming here is to drink, and it doesn't matter if there is a woman or not. The two of them drank very happily, and they had been at sea for more than a week, and the two of them didn't get a sip of wine, which was simply torture for Xiao Peng and Yang Meng. Although neither of them is addicted to alcohol, but it has become a habit to drink two sips without anything, and this sudden lack of alcohol can torture the two of them.
Just when the two of them were drinking happily one by one, suddenly a person rushed up from behind, hugged the shoulders of the two of them, and the smell of alcohol, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng were stunned, looking at the comer, only to see that it was a white man, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, full of alcohol, and a look of excitement, but it really didn't look like a drunkard, it should be because of something happy that happened.
"Hey, you're Chinese, aren't you?" the white man asked.
"How do you know?" Yang Meng asked rhetorically.
The bartender next to him smiled: "Steven is happy today, and when he sees a yellow person with a fairer complexion, he will ask such a question." Oh, don't get me wrong, he's not really an alcoholic, how to put it, he's a historian. It doesn't look like it, does it?"
Why is this so awkward? Yellow-skinned people? Well, that's right, Indonesians are all black, but historians are all like this? Pheasant graduated from university, right?
Hearing Yang Meng's admission, Steven was even more happy: "I have finally found the Huaxia people! Do you know? You know that our discovery will shock Huaxia this time!" It seems that Steven has indeed drunk a little too much, and his speech is a little incoherent.
Xiao Peng frowned, looked at Steven, Steven looked at Xiao Peng's expression, laughed and patted Xiao Peng's shoulder: "EASY, EASY, I'M NOT HOSTILE, I DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH NOW, I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT." After speaking, Steven looked around, lowered his voice, and said to Xiao Peng: "Huaxia, I have found the whereabouts of Zheng Shi's family。。。。。。 ”
"What?" Xiao Peng was a little confused, what kind of words did not match the preamble? In other words, there is nothing more troublesome than communicating with a drunkard.
Seeing that Xiao Peng didn't understand, Steven shook his body and shouted directly: "I said I found Zheng Shi's whereabouts!hahahaha。。。。。。 ”
Steven's volume was too loud, and everyone noticed what was happening here, and at this time, two white people sat down, directly supported Steven, and apologized to Xiao Peng: "I'm sorry, Steven was drunk and disturbed the two of you." ”
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "It's okay." Take him away. ”
Seeing Steven being taken away, Xiao Peng whispered to Yang Meng: "Drink less, let's leave early tomorrow morning, there is something fun, we can make a fortune if we do it well!"
Yang Meng asked rhetorically: "About what?"
"Pirate Treasure!"
