Chapter 098: Development of Special Zones
In the small island construction and development plan discussed by Li Le, Feng Lao and Adam, the first key is to make good use of the island's high-quality and huge agricultural products. Second, the island has a good climate and fertile soil, which is really a terrible thing if it is not used well. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The best way is to upgrade the industry, improve the industrial chain, accelerate development, and finally achieve one-stop service.
The Rum Distillery uses the island's finest sugar cane, the Bay Farm and the Integrated Livestock Farm use the island's high-yield high-starch crops such as corn and potatoes, and the canning factory to be visited is designed to take advantage of the island's fresh, delicious and diverse tropical fruits.
Due to its tropical location, Cuba's high temperature weather will make fruits very perishable after picking, and there is no shortage of fruit production in South America and other places, and the United States has imposed a trade embargo on Cuba, so in order to make good use of this part of the island's resources, Li Le and Feng Lao plan to process them into canned food, and then sell them to Western European countries, the largest canned food market is the United Kingdom.
Due to the high cost of labor, many young people are busy with work and have no time to cook, so many new generations of young people in the UK will eat a variety of fruits, meat, seafood and other canned food, the market demand is extremely huge, and the growth rate is rapid, and the market share is expanding day by day.
If you take a long-term view, after the capital and technology are mature, if you can make seafood, fruits, etc. into canned food, dried fruits and other snacks, and sell them to the Americas, Asia, and Europe, it is also good.
If the plan is bolder, as long as the market needs it, even if the extremely delicious cane crab, lobster, and sea fish are sold to the increasingly wealthy China in the form of online orders and air express delivery.
Thinking about the big plan of food trading in his heart, Li Le's mouth was about to smile crookedly, and followed Feng Lao to visit the canned food factory under construction, because this complete set of canned food assembly line was only shipped a few days ago, and it has not yet been officially put into production, although it has not been able to see the precision processing technology of the modern factory assembly line, but with the technical staff to look at the debugging work, Li Le has also learned a lot of processing technology and knowledge.
After saying goodbye to the staff of the canning factory, Li Le and Feng Lao drove to the last stop of this expedition - Lindello Forest.
The Lindelo Forest is located 30 kilometers east of Yueban, and to the north of it is the Lindelo Ecological Reserve, which is mainly a wetland and hill, which is the habitat of many wild animals on the island and a good place for Li Le to develop eco-tourism in the future, and to the south of the Lindelo Reserve, is the Lindelo Forest. Located on a plain with many mountains and forests, a straight dirt road connects the city of Yueban, which is under the jurisdiction of Li Le, and New Girona, which is under the jurisdiction of the Wang Group, and is an excellent area for obtaining timber resources.
Driving the car carefully, Feng Lao took out a document from the storage box on the side and handed it to Li Le, "Young Master, this is the Treasure Island Development Policy that is about to be promulgated, and it was obtained by Mr. Adam, and it is expected to be promulgated in the next few days, it is very important, you can take a look at it, if you don't understand anything, just say it." ”
"Adam got it?" Li Le thought that Mr. Adam only knew about the Cuban business circle, but he did not expect that he still had access to the government department and got the new policy that was about to be promulgated in advance.
"yes." Feng Lao replied, still driving the car.
Li Le opened the document and took a look, and the big words "Five-Year Plan and Implementation Rules for the Development of Youth Island (Treasure Island) Special Zone" first caught his eye.
"Development of special zones? Isn't it like our special economic zone in China? Looking at these words, Li Le was surprised and delighted, surprised that the Cuban government seemed to be going to make a big move, and happy that he might be able to take advantage of this wave of policies to vigorously develop all walks of life on the island.
"Yes, young master." Feng Lao still looked at the road ahead and nodded.
Although Li Le didn't put much effort into his studies when he was in college, his Spanish level in half a bucket was still enough, and he followed this stack of documents and read it carefully.
After watching it repeatedly for more than half an hour, Li Le also had a general understanding of the "Special Zone Development Plan".
The first of these is the explosive policy, in the next five years, the island will no longer collect personal income tax and corporate income tax, in other words, "comrades~no need to pay anymore~"
According to this policy and Li Le's current development plan, it is bound to speed up the development of various processing industries on the island and promote the development of trade.
This third article is the most cumbersome to write, and it is also the one with the most implementation rules, Li Le read it for a long time, and then he understood a rough idea, and couldn't help but ask Feng Lao for advice, "Feng Lao, what does this third article: What does it mean to relax foreign investment restrictions?" ”
"In the current national economic policy in Cuba, there are only two countries that are less restrictive."
"Which two?" Li Le was surprised and said that he still knew very little about this knowledge.
"We are China and Venezuela, which is not far from here."
"And Venezuela?" After all, it is the big brother of socialism, who has established diplomatic relations for many years and has a good relationship, but this Venezuela surprised Li Le.
"Well, Cuba and Venezuela cooperate a lot in oil, medical care, and agriculture, and both countries are the vanguard of the anti-American front in South America." Elder Feng explained and smiled.
"Then this third point means that the whole world will be able to invest in our Treasure Island in the future?"
"Except for one country."
"Who?"
"United States."
Considering the current U.S. trade embargo against Cuba and the major historical events that have occurred between the two countries, Li Le is not surprised.
"Young Master, do you understand what this third article means?" Feng Lao is extremely serious, single-minded, never used twice, driving the car, he will only stare at the road conditions in front of him, and now when he talks about this, he turned his head to look at Li Le and asked seriously.
"What do you mean? Do we have money to make? Li Le was puzzled.
Feng Lao shook his head, looked at the road conditions ahead, and looked at Li Le again, "It's not a matter of making money, it's that our Treasure Island will usher in an unprecedented development opportunity!" ”
"How?" Li Le is still too young, and he is only half-understood by Feng Lao.
"If our island does not have to pay corporate income tax, personal income tax and import and export duties, whether the products are sold to Cuba Island or abroad, the price will have a huge advantage, this young master should understand." Feng Lao patiently explained.
"yes."
"We often say that water flows to a low place, but in a market economy, the vast ocean of capital will flow to a high place."
"Heights?"
"Yes, a highly profitable industry."
"Oh ~ I get it ~ You mean that a lot of capital from all over the world will flow to the island?"
Feng Lao smiled slightly, nodded, and said again, "Young Master, it seems that I have bought a stylish suit in the past two days." ”
"What's wrong?"
"You'll find out then." Feng Lao smiled, but he didn't know what to say, and continued to drive.
The two exchanged small talk, and the newly built lumberyard arrived.
