Sure enough, as Raimondo said, his uncle Almelyn came to the farm that day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Almerín is also Portuguese, and his surname is the same as that of a small city on the north bank of the Amazon River.

The man in his forties came to Silent Farm with an assistant, and Li Sheng took him to the address where the city had been built.

They were standing on the eastern edge of the mesaga. Li Sheng pointed to the flat under the platform and said, "Mr. Almelin." The new port of our farm is intended to be built on the flat land below. ”

He didn't say he wanted to build a city directly. Because Almelyn had come with his assistants, he didn't want too many people to know that Silent Farm was going to build a city by now.

In fact, as long as this matter starts to operate, it is impossible to continue to keep it secret, but this secret can be kept for a long time.

Almelin seemed to have guessed what he meant, and said nothing about the city.

Li Sheng explained: "We are planning to build a port on the left bank of the river, which will be deeper. But the left bank of the Mapuera River is not our land, so we plan to re-excavate a man-made channel about five kilometers long and a harbor basin. ”

"That's a big job." Almerin said with a smile. If he can win this project, the larger the amount of work, the more he will of course earn. Of course, he also knew that it was impossible to win the project for nothing.

Li Sheng smiled: "We plan to use the excavated earthwork to fill in the left bank of the artificial river, and then build a port." ”

Almelin said with some emotion: "If you really do that, I'm afraid 300 million dollars is too little." ”

"$300 million is just a conservative preliminary calculation."

Indeed, if such a port were to be built, the amount of earthwork excavated would have to increase several times, and the project budget would of course rise.

Alminlin was really interested in the project. But he also wanted to know more: "I don't know that Mr. Li is just building a pier on this new island? ”

"Of course not, there must be a cluster of warehouses near the docks. As you know, Silent Farm now needs to stock up on a lot of dry grass. So warehouses are indispensable. ”

"Is the warehouse a dock project? What is the approximate size of this warehouse? ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Count." As for the scale, Mr. Almerin has just looked at the warehouse complex near the existing dock, and I intend to build at least three times the storage capacity of that warehouse. ”

Almelin smiled and said, "I think we need to talk about it seriously." ”

Li Sheng was waiting for his words. What they're going to talk about next is more than just a port project.

They returned to Li Sheng's office, and there were only the two of them inside. Almelin's assistants were also denied entry.

Almelyn and Li Sheng sat on the sofa drinking coffee, neither of them spoke. After a while, Arminlin seemed to have finished thinking about it, and said, "Lee, I think I can help you get the state council of Para State and get them to agree to the construction of Silent Farm. But I'd like to get all the work on that dock you're talking about. ”

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "The new artificial river and port, including the warehouse, can be handed over to you." For other projects, if you are interested, you can participate in the tender. ”

He paused and said, "Moreover, I have a tight deadline. ”

Armin thought for a moment and asked, "Then when do you want the dock project to be completed?" ”

"The new island has to be completed before the start of the next rainy season, and the work on the island will be completed by the end of June next year."

Alminlin was a little unhappy with the deadline: "You know, that's impossible. ”

He is well aware of the intensity and motivation of Brazilian workers. If it must be completed according to the deadline required by Li Sheng, then his cost will increase a lot.

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "If I had made this request to Huaxia Construction Company, I would have offered to complete all the works before the rainy season." ”

Armin knew that the Huaxia people were crazy about the speed of engineering construction. They may be able to build a floor in a day. Projects like the Silent Farm Wharf are actually not difficult projects, and they are in a hurry. And the construction period proposed by Li Sheng is actually necessary. If the artificial island cannot be completed before the start of the next rainy season, the rainy season will not only halt the work, but may even destroy the completed part of the project.

He could only nod and say, "I agree to this deadline." If he really can't, he can work with Huaxia's construction company.

Li Sheng smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Alminlin, for your understanding." ”

Of course, Arminlin also made some conditions: "I would like to be able to sign an agreement before the project starts. ”

Of course, Li Sheng will not think that it is just a construction agreement. What Arminlin wants, I'm afraid, is to determine the ownership of the project before he starts operating.

But Li Sheng couldn't agree to this. Alminlin was worried that he would cross the river and tear down the bridge. But he was also worried that Alminlin would not be able to do it. Once the agreement is signed, the fact that Silent Farm is going to build a town is likely to come to light - and the people of the Armin Company will surely know, so it will be difficult to keep this secret.

"My integrity, Mr. Arminlin may ask Raimondo. I can only verbally assure that if the application to build a town is approved, the project will be yours. Also, although I need a town, I don't have to build it. But the dock did have to be built. If the application for building a town is not approved, I can promise that I can give priority to your company for dock projects. ”

Although Alminlin was not very satisfied, he saw that Li Sheng's attitude was very resolute, and even hinted at canceling the application for building a town. And he has also heard that Li Sheng is indeed very honest in dealing with cooperation. In addition, Raimondo and Li Sheng belong to a cooperative relationship, and he believes that Li Sheng will not turn against Raimondo because of a project that must be built.

Now his most important task is to help Li Sheng pass the application for building a town as soon as possible. And it must be passed as confidentially as possible.

Thinking of this, Arminlin stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "I hope we can work together happily." ”

Li Sheng stood up with a smile and shook hands with him and said, "I hope so." In fact, if the application for building a town is approved, the town also has a lot of projects. Although I tend to let Huaxia's company finish. But it is also necessary to consider Brazilian companies. ”

He was drawing a pie for Arminlin.

Armin Lin really smiled and said, "I will let Mr. Li the true strength of our company." ”

He didn't stay on the farm long, and everything that had to be said was done. He left the Silent Farm before dark.

Li Sheng can only hope that he can convince those politicians in the shortest possible time. And he will have to stay in Brazil for a short time. The plan to go to Huaxia cannot be postponed for a few days. If Almerin hadn't done it within a week, and had let the town be made public, he might have to put the town on hold.

After sending Armin away, Li Sheng saw that although he was already off work, he still gathered several high-level officials of the farm, and also called Sandru, the representative of the Cabo Cro people on the farm.

"Starting tomorrow, we need some people to live in this place. Sandru, now that the Indians make up the majority of the farm, you need at least five hundred people to organize people in the next two days and where to move to. In addition, you can ask some of the workers' family members to come as well. ”

Everyone else knows what Li Sheng means. Because the application for the establishment of the city could not be made by the Silent Farm, but only by the people of the settlement. But that would first require a settlement.

It's just that Sandru didn't know Li Sheng's plan: "Mr. Li, if our people live there, it will be a lot longer to go to work!" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Li Sheng seriously. "For the rest of the story, I hope to keep it a secret for the time being, and not to anyone. Because if this thing leaks out, my plan can only be to interrupt. ”

"Mr. Li, you say." Sandru listened to his seriousness, and said in a solemn manner. "I promise to keep my mouth shut, not even to my wife."

Li Sheng admired his attitude very much, and said with a smile: "Actually, I plan to build a town in that place that can accommodate about 30,000 to 50,000 people. Later, it was dedicated to the housing of farm workers and their families. However, we are afraid that the town will be controlled by the government, and if that is the case, we will lose control of the town. So we're going to try to keep it as secret as possible now and not let anyone else in. Only then will we be able to prioritize access to the town for farm workers and their families. ”

Hearing what he said, Sandru's eyes burst with brilliance, and he nodded and said, "Mr. Li, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task." ”

Although he didn't read much, he understood what Li Sheng said. If the town is built, it will give priority to the farm workers. The Cabocro, who make up the largest number of farm workers, are certainly the biggest beneficiaries.

Maybe they can settle in other big cities, but their lives are not much better because they live in the city. Most of them are uneducated and have difficulty finding work. But here at Silent Farm, it's different. At least more than half of the workers at Silent Farm are now Cabocros, and the other half are also mostly of Native American descent. This shows the friendliness of Silent Farm to the Indians. In the future, they will live in a small town and will not have to worry about finding a job. Moreover, they do not have to worry about discrimination in education and health care.

That was definitely great news for the Cabocro people. If this plan is interrupted, then the invisible loss of the Capocros will be the greatest. They will lose the opportunity to escape poverty.

Li Sheng heard him say this, nodded and said, "It's best to complete this matter in a few days." If the family of the worker comes, I will let the farm temporarily guarantee their livelihood. ”

"Please rest assured, Mr. Li, I will definitely let people move to where as soon as possible." Nowadays, many Caboquero people live in the city, but in fact they only live in the slums, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for at all.

Li Sheng nodded again, and said to Babur again: "You can worry about the water and electricity of the new settlement, Babur." ”

"Okay."

Li Sheng said again: "Everyone else has dispersed. Babur, you stay for a while. I have something to say to you. ”

Babur is the mayor of the town selected by Li Sheng, and he intends to explain a few more words. (To be continued.) )
