Grand Duke Nicholas found Yang Chao the next day with a tired face, and wanted to continue to talk to Yang Chao about yesterday's problems, but he didn't forget it, which is really rare. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was nothing to talk about, Yang Chao just repeated yesterday's suggestions and requirements, and Nikolai just wanted to confirm that the two reached an agreement within ten minutes, and handed over to his subordinates to draft documents, sign intentions, and formal contracts, which must be signed after the field survey.

For Nikolai, this matter is too rare a good opportunity for the Russian Empire, Yang Chao raised nothing more than the issue of free land and demolition, he even once thought that Yang Chao did not stay in China for a long time and forgot what Siberia was, this ghost place at least half a day sometimes can not see a single figure, the main population is concentrated in the area near the Chinese border, Tomsk to the north is a desolation, but some Russian nobles drove away the nomadic small tribes to occupy some large pastures, but as long as it is a noble, Grand Duke Nicholas, they will still listen, and it is not a big deal to take 200 meters of land from their pasture.

Even if it is the territory of some nomads, Nikolai wants their land, they dare not give it, the army of the Russian Empire is not able to fight Soviet Russia now, nor can it fight the Chinese army, but the nomads who ride horses and bend bows are still more than enough, and even the Jews say that the people who are in the row will rob the land of the nomads, that is really without the slightest psychological pressure.

Another condition is tax exemption, tax exemption in exchange for shares, this transaction is very cost-effective, with a permanent tax exemption in exchange for 49% of the shares, it is equivalent to a permanent fixed tax rate of 49%, but not the government sent someone to collect, but the enterprise in the form of dividends to the government this shareholder, in the eyes of Grand Duke Nikolai is no different, the only difference is that the greedy guys of the Russian tax bureau can not share a sum.

Yang Chao also moved quickly, and a professional team immediately set off from Shandong, including a team of engineers from the railway company who had participated in the construction of the permafrost railway, technicians from Siemens Electric Company, and the general manager of Wuqiu Chemical Company.

Yang Chao of the railway company can send people over with a word, Siemens will not let go of any money-making business, and Wuqiu Chemical Company is also a matter of words, Yang Chao only sent a telegram to Wang Qiu, telling him to invite him to come to Siberia to invest in the construction of a petrochemical base, without explaining the specific reason to him, Wang Qiu immediately sent his most powerful subordinates to come.

Tell the team of the railway company that the construction of the railway from Surgut to Tomsk, hundreds of kilometers of which will pass through the tundra, is the last time they will make technical reserves for the Qinghai-Tibet railway, and the last time they will train their hands and soldiers; told Siemens that it planned to build a comprehensive bridge channel for oil transportation, power transmission, telegraph, telephone and other facilities, and that all the power parts would be handed over to Siemens, and Siemens must actively cooperate; Tell Wuqiu Chemical Company that Yang Chao will make a joint venture with them to build a large-scale oil refining and petrochemical industrial base in two cities along the Ob River in Surgut and Nizhnevartovsk districts, and Yang Chao can transfer 21% of the shares to Wuqiu Chemical Company, and in terms of capital contribution, Wuqiu Chemical Company can use technology as a shareholder, anyway, their technology Americans have already given a price tag, 100 million US dollars.

Zhan Tianyou's technical team completely obeyed Yang Chao, and Siemens also promised that he would definitely send the strongest technical force, and Wang Qiu's subordinates said vigorously that Yang Chao's attitude was the attitude of their boss Wang Qiu, and it was obvious that Wang Qiu had told him.

The three parties soon entered the field survey stage, and they wanted to collect enough data before the arrival of the ice and snow in Siberia, and work out a construction plan as soon as possible, and strive to start construction after the thaw next year.

Yang Chao is very relaxed, Yang Zi Bank's affairs are in an orderly manner, and his capable team resolutely implements Yang Chao's orders, gradually withdrawing capital, and has recovered 40% of the loans receivable, and other loans will be fully recovered before July next year.

Yangzi Petroleum's projects in Siberia and the Middle East are very profitable, and they do not intervene in the operation, only holding some shares and sharing in the huge profits; The Nobel family is responsible for the oil in Siberia, and the profits are not much at the moment, but they are expected to increase several times in a year or two.

Yangzi Mining's operation in Australia and Brazil is relatively stable, the project in Australia is Morgan's face, Northeast China and Shandong and other steel companies are operated and managed, the Rothschild family has a stake, the British are supported abroad, the Australian government has always been more cooperative, most of the iron ore produced here is directly transported to Guangdong, and then turned into steel in the Sino-British joint venture steel plant, and then supplied to the Sino-British joint venture shipyard. It can be said that Australia's iron ore is the basis of Sino-British cooperation in Guangdong, so the British government naturally wants to vigorously support it.

At the urging of the British government, China made concessions on Hawaii and allowed Australia to take Hawaii, so they once again liberalized the immigration quota, and now 200,000 people have been emigrated in the Pilbara area, mainly miners and their families.

With an abundance of labour, mining companies have developed three mines in the Pilbara region, building ports and heavy-duty railways linking mines to ports. 100 trains of 3,000-ton super-heavy diesel locomotives run on the railway in the wilderness, and 15 million tons of iron ore produced in the iron ore area can be transported out of the mine every year.

In families of industrious Chinese miners, the men work in the mines, while the women reclaim small plots of land around the mines, and use the deep wells in the mines to water delicious vegetables. The children attend schools at all levels in the mining area and take care of three meals a day. Other businessmen saw an opportunity and flocked to the area, with grocery stores, restaurants and hotels opening in large numbers.

A purely Chinese town was built on Australian soil.

The main purpose of Yang Chao's business in Brazil is immigration, so 70% of the profits are returned to the Brazilian people, and a large amount of profits continue to be invested in Brazil, and mainly invested in infrastructure to improve people's livelihood, and over the years the profits from iron ore have been used to build thousands of kilometers of railways.

The small town of Itabira, in Minas Gerais, has grown into a large city of 300,000 people, including 200,000 Chinese, and the Standard Chartered Mining Company, controlled by Yangzi Mining, used the profits from the iron ore to build a railway line from Itabira into the inland agricultural area, as well as a special iron ore line to other mines, making Itabira a distribution center for agricultural and mineral products.

Extending inland along the railway, China's agricultural capital and the Brazilian agricultural oligarchy have cooperated to operate more than 400 large-scale farms, all of which are about 100,000 mu of large-scale farms, with the current level of farming, a strong laborer uses large agricultural machinery to cultivate, the per capita cultivation amount is about 200 mu, 100,000 mu requires 500 strong laborers, 500 strong laborers, which means 500 families.

The Chinese capitalists introduced the Chinese-style tenant system into Brazil, and from the beginning of the reclamation of wasteland, they saw that the land was leased out, the peasants contributed labor, and the agricultural owners provided agricultural machinery and seeds, as well as the subsistence supply of the peasants, and after the harvest, the two sides shared the profits equally, and seemed to give the general income to the tenants, but they saved the high management costs, these tenants managed themselves, and had the consciousness of doing their own work with themselves, without supervision, and the enthusiasm for labor was very high. To the surprise of Brazilian farmers who are always annoyed by the laziness of their workers.

At the beginning, due to too much wasteland and insufficient recruitment of farmers, they subcontracted a large amount of land to Chinese families, and when a Chinese family was the most exaggerated, they even contracted 10,000 acres of wasteland, but when they had a harvest, they immediately began to call for friends, and within a few years, they took over their relatives and friends, and a piece of land of about 10,000 acres needed 50 strong laborers to cultivate, which could attract 50 families, 50 families, just to form a small Chinese village.

So unlike in Itabira, where miners' families are concentrated in the towns, in the vast interior of Brazil, there are small Chinese villages.

These villages are dotted along the Bolivian border from Minas Gerais to Mato Grosso along the railway, and they occupy almost all the land that can be cultivated near the railway, and have reclaimed more than 50 million acres of arable land, obviously more than 50 million acres cannot be the limit of the Brazilian interior, but unfortunately the large expanse of savanna inland between the Brazilian coast and the Amazon rainforest, the land is easy to cultivate, but many of it is not suitable for farming, one of the most important reasons is that the soil is too acidic.

Later, Brazil was able to develop an agricultural export scale comparable to that of the United States by solving the acidity problem, but there is no such technology yet, so a large amount of acidic land can only continue to be abandoned, and the large-scale land that can be cultivated has been carved up by the agricultural capital of China and Brazil.

Under the tenant system, it is equivalent to giving nearly 500,000 Chinese peasants a home.

In the tropical rainforest in the northeast, forest fires can be seen burning in a certain place every day for many years, and it is the Chinese engineering team clearing the rainforest vegetation. It is not easy to open up more than 500 kilometers of deep rainforest in Carrasga, just to clear the vegetation, if it is replaced by future generations, I am afraid that it will not be able to clear a road in three years.

But in this era, there are fewer scruples, you can set fire to the forest, and no one will trouble you. As for the forest fires that have burned the tropical rainforest, it is unfounded, and there are thousands of unknown forest fires every day in the vast Amazon rainforest, and smoke can only be seen rising from satellite images. In a humid rainforest, it is almost impossible to form a fire that stretches for hundreds of kilometers and cannot be extinguished for months.

Efficient Chinese engineering teams figured out this method, first setting fire to the forest, then immediately clearing the remaining vegetation, leveling the land, laying the foundation, laying railroad tracks, and planting neat rubber trees on both sides of the railway to prevent the primeval forest from encroaching on the area again.

Despite this, it took more than five years to build the railway from Carajas to Tucururui three years ago, Tucurui is a riverside city more than 300 kilometers from Belém, the capital of the state of Pará, and the sea ships can lead from Belém to Tucurui, so this is the closest outlet to the sea from Caragas, otherwise it will be repaired to the seaport of Belém, which is not 500 kilometers, but about 1,000 kilometers of railway, 1,000 kilometers of rainforest railway, which makes people's scalps tingle when they think about it.

However, it was finally opened to traffic, and immediately a large number of aluminum ore began to be exported, and the rubber trees planted in the early days also began to produce rubber, and tens of thousands of rubber farmers recruited from the Nanyang region directly got the rubber forests developed by their own hands, so that they could stay here and operate rubber plantations, which was equivalent to taking care of the road protection forests of the railway.

In just a few years, spurred on by bauxite, iron ore and rubber, Carajas attracted nearly 100,000 Chinese and established a Chinese city that was purer than Itabira, with a more homogeneous ethnic composition, and there were no foreigners except Brazilians who came from Belém to set up police stations.

The population growth of Carajas has also allowed Chinese immigrants in Brazil to finally exceed 1 million.

But to the uneasiness of the Brazilian government, the legislators of the state of Okashi Sul submitted a bill to Congress to limit the number of Chinese immigrants, and although it was rejected by the Congress, which was controlled by the oligarchs of farmers in Minas and São Paulo, a very bad sign had been planted.
