Chapter 598: A Request for Help from Venezuela (2)
Liu Ping's analysis is very good, Bilan Island is very far away from China, and Limi is very close. Although there are drones and electromagnetic cannons on the blue island to defend, they also have to face up to the small actions that the Mi country is making behind the scenes. There is no doubt that the United States is still one of the most powerful countries in the world.
In addition, because of the ban on Bluestar Group's products in the United States, Bluestar Group's influence in the Americas is far less than that in Asia and Europe. This state of affairs cannot be sustained.
Therefore, the Blue Star Group urgently needs an ally in the Americas, and even a proxy country.
The back garden of the United States, South America, and the Caribbean are the best entry points.
There are many emerging economies here that complement China in terms of mineral resources and agricultural resources, and there are also many countries here that have fallen into the middle-income trap and have experienced serious economic crises and urgently need help from other countries.
Venezuela is one of them.
Liu Ping is on the Blue Island, and every day he pays attention not only to the number of guests who come to the Blue Island, but also to the situation in the Americas.
Liu Ping immediately reported the news of the hope of the Venezuelan oil tanker to the head office, and he knew that the head office would definitely come up with a correct plan.
Chen Nuo read Liu Ping's report in detail, and also focused on Venezuela, one of the countries with the largest oil reserves in the world, a country with a large number of iron ore, gold mines and coal mines, and a country with a forest coverage rate of 96%.
The industrial layout of Bluestar Group needs these mineral resources, as well as the huge labor base of Venezuelan countries, and it needs to open the market in the Americas from Venezuelan countries.
Chen Nuo asked Liu Ping, "Is there enough food on Azure Island?" ”
"Of course!" Liu Ping said: "The food in the Blue Island Plantation Building is enough to supply the island's staff and tourists, and we have a lot of surplus after supply. In addition, we use the waste from the planting building to raise cattle and sheep on the island, and raise a large amount of seafood in the sea. ”
Chen Nuo said: "Liu Ping, learn more about the situation in Venezuela, the group company is interested in investing in Venezuela. ”
Liu Ping said: "However, the situation in Venezuela is ......."
It's a mess! It's a mess!
The situation is even more chaotic under the current situation of hyperinflation in Venezuela.
Countless supermarkets and shopping stores have been robbed, foreign investors have fled, and no one has dared to invest in Venezuela at this time.
Chen Nuo was very confident and said, "Let it go, Liu Ping." The Group will not do business at a loss. ”
This sentence gave Liu Ping enough confidence, he believed in the judgment of the boss, at least since the establishment of the Blue Star Group, the boss's judgment has not been wrong.
Ending the call with Chen Nuo, Liu Ping said to the staff at the terminal: "Talk to the oil tanker, let them dock at the dock, and Bilan Island will supply the oil tanker accordingly." ”
Subsequently, Liu Ping notified the Blue Island Food Reserve Center and asked it to prepare three tons of flour, one ton of fruit, two meals of various seafood and enough fresh water to send to the dock.
The oil tanker Baloha, after more than half a year on the ocean, finally docked at the dock after paying the price of five dead seamen.
Liu Ping was waiting for the cargo ship at the wharf, and the staff informed the cargo ship and said: "Please note the Baloha, please note that for inspection and quarantine reasons, your oil tanker can dock for supplies, but your personnel are not allowed to get off the ship, and we will send supplies to your ship." Before that, you can enjoy a ton of sumptuous Chinese food. ”
Before the supplies were delivered, the staff first delivered meat buns, beef noodles, white water eggs, soy milk, apples and other food to the people of the Baloha.
These foods are quick to make and are able to satisfy hungry crews first.
Not to mention meat buns, even if it is flour mixed with boiling water, hungry crew members can quickly swallow it into their stomachs.
As soon as the food had been delivered to the cabin, the hungry crew devoured the food, saying in Spanish, "Delicious!" Delicious! ”
The eggshells of the boiled eggs, these crew members chewed and swallowed in their stomachs and were reluctant to throw away.
Captain Holio said, "Mr. Captain, we have prepared some food, you can bring it home after you rest tonight." ”
The staff gave Holio a list that read, in Spanish: three tons of flour, two tons of frozen seafood, and one ton of fruit.
"You still have storage space on your ship, right?"
"Yes! Yes! Of course! "Holio was so excited to see these supplies! In the harsh environment of the country, this food can save lives.
Holio suddenly asked, "Are you going to exchange our crude oil?" The price of these foods ......"
The price of food is much worse than that of crude oil.
The Baloja is a large tanker that carries 50,000 tons of crude oil. If you exchange these foods for crude oil, the price difference is not half a point.
"No, no, no!" The staff said, "This food is given to you. Of course, if your country is willing to do trade with Bluestar Group, we are very welcome. The blue island is not far from Venezuela, we have abundant food here, and we can also transport the daily necessities you need from China. ”
"Don't want money?"
"No money."
The staff brought Liu Ping's words, and the task was completed.
Holio only had food in his eyes now, only food, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.
However, when the oil tanker Baloha returns to Venezuela, the food on this ship will cause a stir throughout the country.
After a night's rest, the next day the Baloja tanker slowly sailed to the Venezuelan country with 50,000 tons of crude oil and 6 tons of fresh food.
The reason why it is slowly sailing to Venezuelan is not because the horsepower of the tanker is not enough, but because the crew really does not want to go back, and returning to China means starvation and no future......
A few days later, the tanker arrived at the port of La Guairla, a Venezuelan country.
Because the state knew that the crude oil was not being sold, the whole country was quite frustrated, and only a handful of dock workers arrived at the dock to wait to meet the crew and prepare to unload the crude oil.
In a country where wages can't keep up with prices, no workers are willing to unload crude oil, and no one is even willing to work.
Until, when the workers at the dock heard that the tanker was carrying food, everything became different.
The crew informed their families and decided to bring the food back to their homes.
What kind of work, such a salary, is far less important than food.
These foods were given to them by the Azur Island, not in exchange for oil, and there was no need to give the food to the state.
The crew consisted of forty people in total, and the captain had decided to divide the food evenly among the forty surviving men on board.
"The state can't afford to pay salaries anymore, and the waste paper we send out can't buy any food, so we divide it!" At least we still have something to eat! ”
