"Brother Peng, you're too ruthless, aren't you?" Sun Pengcheng was holding an egg to cover his eyes, and now he has directly become a panda eye.

Xiao Peng pointed at Yang Meng: "There is a debtor who is wronged, find a fierce son, this is what he did." ”

Sun Pengcheng swallowed: "Yes, forget it." Well, I'm a tiger at all, right? How did I end up with you as a worm?"

"Eh, are you sure you want to use your identity to scare people?" Xiao Peng asked rhetorically.

Sun Pengcheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, this is good." This shows that you treat me as your own. ”

Yang Meng happened to walk into the cockpit with the two of them, and almost laughed when he heard Sun Pengcheng's words: "Hey, this kid is still happy to be beaten? ”

Xiao Peng gave up his driving position and looked at Sun Pengcheng: "How long have you been here? ”

Sun Pengcheng smiled bitterly: "There's no way, I'm also here to save money, isn't it?"

"Why?" Xiao Peng handed the boat to Yang Meng and sat next to Sun Pengcheng.

Sun Pengcheng shrugged: "Why are the northerners in our country not as rich as the southerners? You think, as soon as winter comes, the heating bill is paid, and the two months are dry, down jackets, autumn clothes, autumn pants, cotton pants, cotton shoes, that is all money, every three or five times a meat, in case of a cold and fever or something like that, go to two more stitches, basically, in winter, half a year's savings will be spit out." ”

Yang Meng was happy after hearing this: "You kid pretend to be poor with me?"

Sun Pengcheng waved his hands violently: "How can I pretend to be poor? I am not my unreliable younger brother, my family has a lot of money in business." I'm still eating myself, and I don't even dare to take the money when it comes to me!"

Xiao Peng glanced at Sun Pengcheng: "Then you didn't take any good things when you came to me." ”

Sun Pengcheng didn't think about it after hearing this, and said directly: "Oh, my grandfather said, taking your is not counted." ”

“。。。。。。 Fierce son, don't drive the boat, keep beating!"

"No, I was wrong! That's what my grandfather said, you go to my grandfather. ”

Xiao Peng sighed: "。。。。。。 You are definitely not born to your grandfather, and the two of you are in a relationship of selling each other。。。。。 By the way, that's how you kid came, and you didn't have any gifts for us?"

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng took the straw hat beside him and said, "Bosses, it's not that I don't bring you gifts, I really don't know what to bring." This Panamanian specialty is this 'Panama Straw Hat', but although this straw hat is called 'Panama Straw Hat', it is really not made in Panama, but in Ecuador. ”

Xiao Peng was speechless: "You kid just don't have a heart, there is nothing fun to give as a gift in such a big country?"

Sun Pengcheng shook his head: "Fun? All kinds of silver jewelry, handmade is called a poor, you definitely can't look down on it." Oh, it's cheap to buy famous brands here, but I can't afford it!"

Yang Meng drove the bow of the boat and said without looking back: "Fuck off, this Panama has such a canal, which belongs to the kind of country where you can make money lying down at home, so you can talk like a primitive country." ”

Sun Pengcheng snapped his fingers: "Mengzi, you are really right, Panama has money, and it is the financial center of the entire Central America and the Caribbean!

Look, absolutely modern city. But this country is really not good for anything other than the financial industry and service industry. The gap between the rich and the poor here is too big, there are mines that no one digs, there is land that no one cultivates, and there is no heavy industry at all。。。。。。 ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng looked disgusted and said: "What kind of thing? There is land and no one grows it? That's because we Chinese people didn't come, otherwise they would all be planted with it! It's shameful to waste land! How can people here learn from Africa? Too lazy to produce flowers?"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng gave him a blank look: "How do you speak? What does it mean to be lazy to come out of a flower? The real lazy person has long been eliminated by the earth, okay? He must have other reasons in it." ”

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng said: "Brother Peng, you are right, there are really other reasons. Brother Mengzi, it's not that there are no Huaxia people here, don't look at the fact that he just established diplomatic relations with Huaxia last year, but before that, he had a good relationship with Baodao. There is also a Chinatown in Panama City, but 。。。。。。 I don't know what Chinatowns are like in other countries, but they're so desolate here. ”

Yang Meng asked, "Why? You can go farming, have you forgotten the racial talent of our ancestors?"

Sun Pengcheng explained with a wry smile: "Mengzi, things are really not what you think. Modern agriculture is not hundreds of years ago. Do you want to engage in agriculture, starting from the land, what seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, labor, agricultural machinery。。。。。。 But when you have a good harvest and you find that you can't sell your things, you can only lose money, so will you still farm?"

"How can grain not be sold?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

Sun Pengcheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "Grain dumping, farmers in western developed countries will give farmers a lot of subsidies to farming, so the cost of grain is extremely low, let me give you an example, the cost price of the rice you grow is one dollar a catty, and the result is that the imported rice costs four cents a catty, so will anyone buy your rice? Will anyone else grow rice? Now many countries like Africa and Central America are facing such a problem. If farmers want to survive, they can only grow cash crops like sugarcane and coffee. As for growing grain, forget it! You will lose as much as you sow. Therefore, in some countries such as Central America and Africa, the land is very fertile and very suitable for growing food, but no one grows it at all. It's not that people here are stupid, but there is really no way. ”

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Those public intellectuals in our country who advocate grain imports and reduce grain prices every day should really come here to take a look, after all, our country is a big agricultural country, and the number of agricultural population is huge, if our country becomes like this, wow." I can't even think about it. ”

Yang Meng took a sip after hearing this: "The current 'public knowledge' is all afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the most terrifying thing is that there are really fools who listen to them with rhythm." ”

Xiao Peng pointed ahead: "Okay, don't be cynical here, the tugboat is coming, you be careful!"

Yang Meng picked up the walkie-talkie: "The relevant staff went to the deck and connected the tugboat operation." This Nima's, we are not a 10,000-ton ship, and a boat of more than 1,000 tons still uses a fart tugboat!"

After hearing this, Sun Pengcheng smiled and said: "For the sake of money, do you think that the tugboat doesn't need money? Don't look at the Panama Canal is not long, the cost is really not low, it is much more expensive than taking the Suez Canal." The Panama Canal and the Suez Canal are very different in terms of size and the number of ships passing through, so they try their best to make money, and tugboats are one of them. ”

The two tugboats were connected one after the other

After the 'Vladimir', Yang Meng had nothing to do: "Brother Peng, give me a bottle of beer." ”

"Catch. Xiao Peng threw him a bottle of beer: "Actually, it's good to have this tugboat, it's a lot of trouble, you don't have to do anything now!"

Yang Meng handed over the boat to the navigator and said speechlessly: "These two tugboats are almost bigger than ours。。。。。。 You said that our boat, walking through the Bosphorus Strait and the Suez Canal, is at most a guide boat, and there is such a grand tugboat here. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "It's different here than those places. ”

Yang Meng looked disgusted: "It's all canals, what difference can it be?"

It turns out that although they are both canals, the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal are really different.

When I first arrived at the Panama Canal, it was just like an ordinary river, it was actually very wide, and the widest part could be two or three hundred meters wide, but as I walked, I reached the canal locks.

The Panama Canal locks are more like the Three Gorges Project: a ship enters the locks, seals them, fills them with water or drains them, and then moves to another level. And such a lock has a total of three levels. The reason why large aircraft carriers can't pass through the Panama Canal is because of these three locks, which are less than 40 meters wide, not to mention that aircraft carriers can't be put in at all, and even large cargo ships and oil tankers are often scraped and bumped when they pass by.

And as Sun Pengcheng said, this Panama is really racking its brains in order to make money, this lock is like a toll station on the highway, but the toll here is much more expensive than the highway.

These two tugboats are towing the ship through the lock, and not only these two tugboats, there are four locomotives on both sides of the lock, each locomotive is hung on the ship with two steel cables to drag inside, these are all costly, adding up to almost 1,500 US dollars, plus the cost of the ship itself, which is calculated with the tonnage of the ship, 5.25 US dollars per ton for ships within 30,000 tons, although there are concessions for more than 30,000 tons, but it is only a few cents of concessions. Norway once had a 'Pearl' through the Panama Canal, a river crossing cost 375,600 US dollars, the average freighter is almost more than 100,000 US dollars, this Panama Canal is definitely an old hen that lays golden eggs. Xiao Peng's fishing boat, which passed through the lock once, cost almost $10,000。。。。。

"The so-called seventh greatest engineering miracle in the world refers to these three locks?" Yang Meng asked puzzledly, "What are they doing with this thing?

Xiao Peng smiled: "It's really not the reason, this is because there is a water level difference between the north and south sides of the Panama Canal, about fifty centimeters, if there is no lock on the canal, the water speed will become very fast, and it will become very dangerous to navigate here. Nearly 30,000 people died when the canal was dug that year. ”

"Wait a minute!" Yang Meng interrupted Xiao Peng's words: "I don't read much, but don't lie to me, all the oceans in the world are interconnected, how can there be a water level difference? Besides, you said that there is a water level difference of 50 centimeters between the oceans on both sides, but I see that the water level difference of 30 meters is more than 30 meters when these three sluices are combined! Are you sure this is not such a deceptive project for the sake of playing with your life?" (https:)
