Section 659 Visit to Chile

Yang Chao left Brazil and went directly to Chile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I didn't go to Argentina and bypassed this country because there are not many Chinese immigrants in Argentina, and the country has an absolute predominance of white people, and racism is relatively strong.

Chile is also a strange country, white people are also in the majority, but they are more sensible, and at the same time the military strength is relatively strong, to say that they are sensible, is that they are very able to divide the interests.

In the original history, there was a time when American countries had more or less rejected Chinese workers, and Chile insisted until the end that it began to exclude Chinese and restrict Chinese entry.

The reason is simple, at that time, China was going through a national transformation, the skinheads were leading the Northern Expedition, and Chile thought that if China stabilized, it would be able to import Chilean copper ore.

As a result, China's chaos is ten years, the so-called golden decade, and it is an era of brilliant heavy industry with bureaucratic capital, and even the Hanyang Iron Works is no longer making steel, so the ghost has the heart to purchase copper ore?

In addition, there are not many Chinese in Chile, and the first to recruit Chinese workers in history were the farmers of Peru, Chile's neighbor, but these people were too ruthless to Chinese workers, they liberated black slaves, and lacked labor, so they introduced Chinese laborers, completely regarded Chinese workers as slaves, and even the blacks after liberation became their supervisors, and let Chinese workers work with leather whips.

Hard work, so that a large number of Chinese workers died, out of the Chinese tradition, do not like verbal arguments, really can't bear it anymore, will take up arms to resist, so a large number of Chinese uprising, and then Chile and Peru had a war, the Chinese workers on the side of Chile, after the war, Chile gave these Chinese workers a legal identity, they stayed in Chile.

In addition, some Chinese workers who fled to Chile from Peru and other countries also chose to stay in Chile, and it is clear that Chile is much better for them than the slave traders in Peru. Therefore, Yang Chao does not plan to visit Peru, which has a Chinese population of more than 100,000, during his visit to Chile this time.

Of course, it is also related to economic cooperation, Chile is a big mineral country, is the world's largest copper producer in this era, and China is a relatively poor copper country, the development of the power industry is inseparable from copper wire, so Chile is more and more important to China.

In fact, most of Chile's copper mines are not mined by Chileans, but British capital, and even Americans are not very able to get started, so Yang Chao does not try to buy shares in Chilean copper mining enterprises, but it is possible to sign several prospecting rights agreements with Chile, Yang Chao knows that the British have only mined less than one percent of Chilean copper mines, and there are larger and richer copper mines waiting for him.

Chileans are still more welcoming to investment, but in fact, in this era, only Japan and countries like Soviet Russia do not welcome investment, Japan is out of nationalism, and Soviet Russia is a matter of faith.

Chile is very happy about its investment in China, after all, in recent years, China has surpassed Britain to become the largest importer of Chile's mineral resources, whether it is saltpeter used to produce fertilizers and gunpowder, or copper ore used to produce power equipment, China imports far more than the United Kingdom.

However, for the purpose of buying people's hearts, Yang Chao still decided to give 30% of the shares to the Chilean government for free, adopting the 33 system implemented in Brazil, with the local government getting 10%, the state government getting 10%, and the federal government getting 10%, so that Chile's governments at all levels can improve their finances, and naturally more and more Chinese investment is welcome, and at the same time, Yang Chao will also use the profits in the mining area to improve the infrastructure, such as building roads, drinking water projects, and building schools and hospitals, so that the local people can benefit.

For the issue of immigration, Yang Chao's interest is not very great, his desire for land, a bit peasant, arable land is always his first consideration, minerals can only be ranked second, not that he has no industrial consciousness, but China, the food problem will always be ranked first.

That's why Yang Chao values Brazilian immigrants so much and doesn't care much about Siberia, because Brazil has the potential to feed the entire Chinese population, while Siberia does not.

To be honest, there are four regions with the best agricultural production conditions in the world, the first is the Russian Great Plain, which stretches from Western Siberia to Eastern Europe, covering an area of 8 million square kilometers, the second is the American Great Plain, the third is the Indian Plain, and the fourth is the interior of Brazil.

The first two of them don't need to be considered, needless to say, the Russian plain, the powerful Soviet Russia can not be provoked, attacking Russia is a strategic mistake for anyone, the American Great Plains is known as the last temperate land that has been developed by mankind, and the land in the hands of the American imperialists is not so easy to grab, and India Yang Chao is not under any illusions, and the Indian population is afraid that it will surpass China earlier in this era, so only the inland Great Plains of Brazil will remain.

The condition of this great plain is better than that of the United States, the area is not bad, the key is that the hydrological conditions are much better, and the drier inland state of Mato Grosso in Brazil also receives about 200 milliliters of rain more than the Great Lakes region of the Great Plains of the United States.

Chile is a long and narrow country, with a coastline longer than China's, and there is no arable land resources to use, so it is still difficult to feed itself, so Yang Chao did not have to work hard to immigrate here.

So the cooperation with Chile, focusing on copper mines and other resources, soon ended the visit, crossed the Pacific, this time not to Hawaii, but to Samoa, where we saw how the Jews were developing.

The Jew's organizational skills disappointed Yang Chao.

It's been almost ten years, and they have only emigrated 40,000 people in Samoa, and 30,000 have migrated in the first three years.

However, according to official statistics, after correcting the number of Samoans, it was found that there were 100,000 indigenous people in the whole of Samoa.

This result made the Jews somewhat discouraged, so in recent years the intensity of immigration has been greatly reduced, and some have been removed.

Yang Chao's agreement with them was that if they reached more than half of the number of immigrants, he would push them to form an autonomous region and establish a Jewish homeland here.

But they themselves are not angry.

At first they were positive, and that was because the anti-Jewish behavior of the Russian Empire put them in a difficult situation, especially the psychological panic, which made them act.

But they soon discovered that living in China was much better than immigrating.

They had no interest in building in Samoa, and after building an initial hundred farms, they stopped developing here, and they were happy to do business in the port.

However, it does not plan to invest in improving port facilities.

Yang Chao couldn't help but wonder if he was overestimating this nation. (To be continued.) )
