Chapter 805: Back to Serious Things (5)
If too many foreigners are involved in the country's economic activities, this is not a good phenomenon, and if the country's economic lifeline is not good, it will have to fall into the hands of foreigners. ”
"What's the matter with us? We are also one of the foreigners who want to buy a large number of islands, and it is their own responsibility for the rulers of such resource-rich archipelagic countries to fail to maintain their national security. ”
"So, we are also a capitalist?"
"What's not to do? At least we, the capitalists, are soft-hearted and will not do anything to catch fish with all our might. Zhaolin shrugged, "Well, for the sake of our own interests, although we don't want to be enemies of the rulers of the country, we also have to guard against those foreigners who collude with the nobility from harming us behind our backs. ”
"If you look for an island where they have oil and gas, you can buy one, first hold the energy in your hands, and then open up the wasteland and farm on the island, and insist on grasping with both hands, one hand to grasp the grain and the other to grasp the energy." Qi Ke reacted quickly, and he actually had the opportunity to be a capitalist in his lifetime, and he rubbed his hands with excitement.
"Do you want such mineral resources as coal and iron ore?" Zhaolin enlarged the panoramic map of the country, "The total amount of resources is so much, we have more mouthful, others have less." ”
"Okay, look for what minerals they have, and get them if you have the chance, this country is so close to us, and there is a blood feud, so you can't give it to others cheaply."
"Speaking of this blood feud, we found the island where the Haikou ship docked, as we guessed before, this island is hidden and built a bit scientifically, and there are many supporting buildings, at first glance, it is that foreign technology is not developed by the country itself. But the motives behind their actions have not yet been clarified, and it is impossible to determine whether it was the ideas of their rulers themselves or the instigation of foreign merchants. It is reasonable to use this archipelagic country as a springboard to seek greater interests, because no matter how rich the resources of the archipelagic country are, it cannot compare with a mainland country with depth. ”
"I understand, it cannot be ruled out that those foreigners are making trouble behind their backs, and their behavior escalates step by step, until they go ashore to burn, kill and loot, so as to test the reaction of the big powers." Qi Ke knocked on the table, he didn't care much about the motives of Haikou's actions, they were not as important as the more threatening Five Elements Banner Alliance, "No matter which of their intentions, they deserve to be unlucky enough to bump into my hands." ”
"Then our next plan is to buy an island with a sum of gold and build a cotton plantation as soon as possible."
"Hmm." Qi Ke nodded, "And the financier behind Haikou will also find out as soon as possible, I want to see who is so bold and dares to come to provoke a continental country across the ocean." ”
"Okay." Zhao Lin then recorded the two tasks, arranged an action plan, and drew up a list of large machinery that needed to be mobilized.
The gold needed to buy an island is not a small number, but fortunately, in the past six months, after the mining robots have worked non-stop from morning to night, the pure gold refined from the placer gold ore mined in the river valley is quite considerable, but I don't know if it is enough to buy an island suitable for farming.
First buy an island, open up wasteland, cultivate land, establish your own foothold in that country, and then slowly find islands with mineral resources and pick them up one by one into your own bowl.
The order of doing things must be clear, not chaotic, who does not know that mineral resources are good, but this kind of thing is not urgent, it has to be done slowly.
