When the Sofia Sweetheart landed with a roar from Viruwiru International Airport, north of Santa Cruz, the capital of Bolivia's province of Santa Cruz, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

The Bolivian heat in April is still ongoing, and the temperature is much higher than in Yanjing in early spring.

Four GL65s drove from the Sophia Sweetheart, and Tang Feng and the four of them, plus eight bodyguards and the crew, a total of twenty people, could squeeze in. The routine maintenance of the Sophia Sweetheart will not be done until tomorrow, so the eight crew members, including the captain, do not have to stay at the airport today, but follow Tang Feng and them to the city to stay first.

The city of Santa Cruz is not far from Viruviru Airport, which is 10 kilometers from a full trip, and the air conditions here are very good, so after leaving the airport, you can see the lights of Santa Cruz city to the south.

Bolivia is a strange country, although Sucre is the legal capital, but in fact the political and cultural center of the country is in La Paz, the largest city in Bolivia, at an altitude of more than 3,600 meters. Important government departments, including the central government, the presidential palace, and the parliament, are all located in La Paz, and the legal capital, Sucre, retains only one Supreme Court.

As the second largest city in Bolivia, Santa Cruz is a little bit difficult to deal with Ballas, because the residents of Santa Cruz are mainly white, while the residents of La Paz are Indians and whites of mixed race, because many Indians in La Paz are dissatisfied with whites, think that they have been treated unfairly, and live a relatively poor life, especially many white officials and businessmen who have seized national wealth by improper means. And many of the citizens of Santa Cruz, most of course, are white, and they don't look at La Paz people squarely, believing that the central government is too restrictive on their governance. Many taxes were taken away, affecting their lives.

It is for this reason that Santa Cruz and several other relatively wealthy places are at odds with the central government, demanding autonomy, mainly against the policies of Indian President Evo Morales.

All in all, even such a poor country. There are also a lot of things inside.

Tang Feng They don't want to care, and they can't manage it. But fortunately, the residents of Santa Cruz City are not resistant to Caucasians, otherwise if they go to La Paz, Tang Feng and the others will really have to consider whether to go or not.

When Tang Feng used to work in the Explorer Company, he had traveled to many places, including Peru in the west of Bolivia and Brazil in the east, Tang Feng had been there, but Bolivia, which was sandwiched in the middle, had never been there, which also had a lot to do with the bad relations between Bolivia and the United States in recent years.

The hotel they booked is still the Holiday Inn under the name of InterContinental Hotels Group. The last time I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Juneau, Tang felt good, so I still chose the Holiday Inn this time.

After waking up early the next morning, Tang Feng left the captain with a car, and they had to return to the captain to supervise the captain's ground crew to maintain the Sophia's sweetheart.

After breakfast, people from Huagong International came, a total of three people came, and the leader was a middle-aged man named Fang Zewen who was nearly forty years old. The other two are Tian Peng, who is twenty-five or sixteen years old, and Chen Peng, who is about thirty years old.

Back in the Tang Dynasty, when they were still floating in the sky. In the face of such a solemn instruction from the senior management of the domestic group company, the manager of the project department also attached great importance to it, and directly sent the deputy general manager of the project department and two business elites to entertain Tang Feng and his party.

At present, the railway built by Huagong International in Bolivia is from Montero to Bloblo, with a total length of more than 130 kilometers. It was the beginning of the railway that crossed the Andes to the west in the province of Santa Cruz.

Bolivia is divided into two parts by the majestic Andes Mountains, so it has been very difficult to communicate between the east and the west since ancient times. With the support of China, Bolivia was ready to build a railway across the Andes.

The more than 130-kilometer railway from Montero to Bloblo is an appetizer. Heading west after Bloblo, that's where the main event begins, because that's when the railroad really starts to cross the Andes.

In other countries, it would be difficult to build a railway over the Andes, but for a Chinese railway builder with experience in building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the Andes are nothing

The Montero Railway Project in Bolivia is located in Montero, the second largest city in the province of Santa Cruz, 25 kilometers north of Santa Cruz.

After meeting with Fang Zewen and the others, Tang Feng planned to start a field trip along the railway line to the railway line that runs through the southern part of Santa Cruz Province.

Regarding Tang Feng's request, Fang Zewen and they had no opinion. Before coming, the boss has already explained, these bosses came to inspect the railway from Puerto Suarez to Yacueva, and the boss also said that these people have a large part of the decision-making power, if they can accompany these guests, maybe the more than 700 kilometers of railway renovation project can fall into the hands of Huagong International, then it will be a great achievement!

It is precisely for this reason that Fang Zewen and his party take Tang Feng and his party very seriously. When he learned through Tang Feng that the other three foreigners turned out to be the younger generation of the three famous American families, he paid more attention to Tang Feng and them.

This is a project of tens of billions of yuan, if it can be won, it will be more than just a great achievement, and maybe the seat under the ass will have to be moved upwards at that time!

"Mr. Tang, if you want to inspect this section of the railway, it is best for us to take the local train to walk around, of course, your entourage can also drive to follow the train, this section from Santa Cruz to Suarez, the road is next to the railway." Fang Zewen put forward his own suggestions.

"Okay, Brother Fang, you are an expert in this area, and we will listen to your arrangement on how to act. When you say take a train, let's get a taste of what a Bolivian train is like. ”

Tian Peng next to him said with a smile: "Brother Tang, I suggest you better be prepared, the railway here is even worse than the railway before the liberation of our country, and it can run to a speed of thirty kilometers per hour, which is considered fast!" ”

"Really? Tian Peng, don't fool me."

"Yes, Brother Tang, you better try it yourself!"

I continue to recommend "Ghost Growth" written by the beautiful writer "Cloud Girl", a very good new book, written quite tastefully. There is a parking space in the through train on the first page of this book, click to view. (To be continued......)
