"We can let China replace Wanwan's aid, so that the Belizean government will re-establish diplomatic relations with China, which is only more than 10 million US dollars a year, not necessarily cash, any kind of aid." If you put this money in, the contractor or your company will get some of it back. You have so much money, what are you afraid of paying for ten years first?" Melinda was a little unhappy about Hong Tao smashing her with money, but not greeting her in advance, and found an opportunity to speak out against Hong Tao at this time. This person is hypocritical, you said that she gave her 2% of the shares for no reason, she was still unhappy, if she didn't give it to her at all, she didn't feel anything, and worked hard all day long.

“…… This problem must be solved sooner or later, otherwise how will I return to China in the future, and I will not become a traitor! But we can't come forward to mention this matter, in case we are branded as China, our plan will have to come to naught! We have to find a suitable person, and he will come forward to help us take the initiative to make this request to China, but who is suitable?" Hong Tao heard that Melinda had something to say, and he had a gun and a stick, but he didn't care. Melinda's words reminded him that this problem really has to be solved as soon as possible, otherwise let the Chinese government know that he is secretly helping a foreign government that is pro-Wanwan to build a country, then he will really have no room to move in China in the future, not to mention not allowing himself to return to China, anyway, if you want to invest smoothly in China, you basically don't think about it, this is a red line!

If I can bring the Belize government to China's side, it can be regarded as a little contribution to the country, adding glory to the government's face, and it will be much easier to talk about something in the future. It's good for you, and it's worth doing. Belize wants to develop. It walks on only two legs, one of which is close to the United States. One is to trade with China, both of which are indispensable.

Now go to the United States. It's too early, because Belize's infrastructure is too poor to export any products to the United States, and people can't look down on products that are too basic. However, these things can be sold to China, and even if they are not exchanged for money, the light industrial products exchanged for China can meet Belize's domestic demand, and they are very complementary. And China is currently in a stage of rapid development, like a huge whirlpool, as long as it needs the resources. It will be swallowed in one gulp, and there will be basically no obstacles set up, which is much easier than doing business with a well-established market like the United States.

But there is one issue that Hong Tao still needs to pay attention to, and that is the attitude of the Americans. You can ignore the ghosts and ghosts here, but if you meddle in the Wanwan issue, the Americans will not sit idly by. Therefore, this matter must not be done by yourself, nor can it be done by the people around you, but can only be done by a person who is not very relevant, and it must be done reasonably.

Who is going to do it? How to do it reasonably? Hong Tao has not yet figured it out. Not only could he not think of it, but Roman and the others couldn't think of it for a while. Hong Tao had no choice but to announce the adjournment of the meeting, which was a major matter related to the success of the plan, and a decision could not be made in a hurry. It must be foolproof. If you can't think of it in a day, you can take a week, if you can't think of it in a week, it will be a month, and if you can't think of it in a month, it will be a year. Anyway, I have enough funds to support it, and I am not in a hurry to let Belize's industry enter the profit mode.

What needs to be done now is to make a domestic industrial plan for Belize first. Then start with the basics. The seaside resort is not in a hurry to build first, because Hong Tao has no infrastructure team in his hands. All the contractors are rushing to work on the Great Pyramid, the power plant and the airport. No matter how much infrastructure is hired to Belize City, not only is it expensive, but the logistics are also not available, and now the six ships of the De Belivi Shipping Company are too busy.

There is no rush to set up a fishing company, and fishing vessels must not be purchased from foreign countries, which is too costly and does not have much of an impact on Belize itself. To produce small fishing boats of several tens of tons, it is entirely possible to build small shipyards in Belize and then buy raw materials for their own production. Even if the cost is higher than direct procurement, it is worth it, because these shipyards will provide employment for a large number of Belizean workers and produce a pool of industrial workers for Belize.

This can be started immediately, starting with the construction of three small shipyards in the southern seaport of Punta Gorda, the central seaport of Tangriga, and the northern seaport of Belize City, in the name of the German Belivi Shipping Company. As for the ship type and skilled workers built, there is no need to buy them from developed countries, nor do they need to hire expensive technicians from large shipyards, they only need to go to China to recruit workers, and they can hire more than 3 Chinese skilled workers at the same salary as European and American skilled workers. Moreover, they also have their own ship design and shipbuilding technology, and even the patent problem has been solved, because those small fishing boats in China have no patents at all, and whoever knows how to build them.

Fishing vessels alone are not enough, the fish caught must be processed simply, and in this case, there is a need to set up a processing plant on shore, a cold store, more power plants, and an ocean-going carrier with refrigeration equipment. Hong Tao decided not to invest in these things for the time being, and if he did not solve the problem of establishing diplomatic relations between Belize and China, the investment would be in vain, and he would not be able to sell the production, so he would throw it away in vain.

But there is one industry that can be started now, and that is wood processing. The entire country of Belize, with the exception of the mountainous areas in the south, is largely shrouded in primary forests, with more than 70% of the population covered by forests. These primeval forests are useless in the eyes of the locals, but a large amount of large-leaved mahogany, which is a very good raw material for high-end furniture, is called American rosewood or American sandalwood in China.

In addition, there is a kind of shrub that is abundant here, and it is everywhere, and the fire is too smoky. But Ouyang Qing said that those are all good things, a kind of Chinese medicinal material, called Su Mu, also called Su Fang. The country has to be artificially cultivated, here is as long as the weeds, do not use the white, do not use, only need to hire the local people to cut down these shrubs, the branches are collected neatly, dried and bundled, with the export of timber ships to China, it is not a worthless broken branch, the value immediately increased ten times, become a Chinese medicinal material. However, this deal can only be done with China, because other countries do not recognize the traditional Chinese medicine. I don't want it for nothing.

Logging, drying, rough processing, these processes can be done in advance. The wood is not afraid to be put and will not rot. Based on the population base of Belize. It is impossible to have too much labor to engage in the wood processing industry, and the output must not be high, so first get a small wood processing enterprise out, start from cutting, and slowly explore the entire industrial chain.

In fact, Belize is relatively rich in natural resources, rich in sugarcane, cocoa, and tobacco, all of which can be exported through primary processing, and can be eaten and drunk in this small country of less than 300,000 people. Coupled with tourism and fishing, it is not a dream to enter the well-off. It's just that they have too little workforce, too little start-up capital, and too poor infrastructure that even if someone sees these opportunities, they can't afford to operate.

Now that the rich man is here, he has a lot of money and a forward-looking vision, and these problems are not a problem in his opinion, and the only thing that shackles him is the Belize government, and there are two parties, one red and one blue. With them in front, Hong Tao can't let go of his hands and feet. What makes him even more depressed is that he can't ignore these politicians. This is someone's territory, although the landlord is relatively weak, but after all, it is the government of a country. It's unrealistic to ignore it completely.

Hong Tao has a way, and it is still an old way, just like investing and doing business in China. Whether it is investing in the construction of a shipyard or a timber processing enterprise, Hong Tao will pull local officials and party bigwigs to play together. You don't have to pay for it. Give dry shares for nothing, but this money is not taken for nothing. You have to do it, whether it's policy or how to get along with the locals, it's all up to these people to coordinate.

For Roman, Sergei, Melinda, and Bellivi, it may be a bit difficult, but for Hong Tao, it is simply too pediatric. These politicians and partisans in Belize are simply too easy to fool, and none of them have graduated from primary school compared to the officials that Hong Tao has contacted in China. Hong Tao, who has been fighting with college students for half his life, doesn't need to be reborn, he can play with these primary school students, and all kinds of methods of co-opting and corrosive make Roman and them stunned, and even giving gifts and bribes can come up with so many patterns, what a genius! No matter how honest the officials are, don't let Hong Tao's clerks from the home property company target them, as long as you keep an eye on them, you can change in a thousand ways, no matter how firm your beliefs are, you can't go beyond the three offensives, and you will immediately bow down and join the same stream.

"If you do this, you will teach them badly, the government here is very corrupt, if they learn these things again, what will we do with this country in the future?" Roman was very disgusted by Hong Tao's bottomless corrosive method, he couldn't imagine that people could be so shameless.

"Roman, you have misunderstood a definition, the current Belize government is an enemy of us, and we will never want to come to power unless they are brought down. The more corrupt and degenerate the enemy, the more advanced and noble we are. I have recorded all the moments when they betrayed the motherland and traded money and power, and when the time came, these videos and recordings were like a noose around their necks, and if they wanted not to be hanged, they had to listen to us, let them go east to east, let west go west, let them raise their hands and raise their hands, and let them oppose it. Moreover, another part of the unlucky people will be thrown out from time to time as negative teaching materials, to set off how incompetent and shameless the government is, and then we will appear in the model of a new political party, and the people will pin their hopes on us. As for the other question you mentioned, I don't think it's actually a problem, only by letting everyone see this shameless trick can we understand this method in the future, and then we can recognize this kind of trick, and we can avoid this kind of trick in our government in the future. This is not to teach our government badly, but to conduct a real combat exercise for people who may become our government officials in the future, just like vaccination, what you have seen is not terrible, but what you have not seen is terrible!" Hong Tao's explanation is even more shameless than what he has done, he doesn't care whether Belizeans will be harmed or not, and what he thinks about is entirely the interests of his interest group.

If someone asks him what to do with the damage done to Belizeans in this political upheaval or in the national game he plays, he doesn't hesitate for a second and immediately comes up with one word: labor pain! or the cost of reform. Isn't that what later generations will say, why can others say and do this, and still be justified, but they can't?

In fact, he has not thought clearly about this matter until now, whether it is a good thing to do this, or is it a lack of morality? According to the construction of the country, it will bring real benefits to the people, but at the same time of construction, it is necessary to harm them first. (To be continued......)
