Two days later, Xu Dong and his entourage took the Lina to Brisbane, where land traffic between the two places has been interrupted due to landslides and mudslides caused by flooding.

After most of the day's sailing, the destination finally arrived in the evening.

Brisbane officials attached great importance to this investment, not only providing vehicles, but also sending a deputy mayor surnamed Lin to accompany the whole process.

"Mayor Lin, I'm sorry for you!"

"Haha, how can it be trouble? I wish you would come every day. Vice Mayor Lin then proposed: "Dong Xu, do you want to rest for one night, let's inspect tomorrow?" ”

"No need, I've slept on the boat for a day, and I'm in good spirits at this time!" Xu Dong said with a smile.

Vice Mayor Lin patted his head: "Look at my memory, I thought you came on a passenger ferry." ”

"No way, you also know that our company is headquartered in China, and we buy yachts to facilitate travel." Xu Dong explained casually.

"Understandable, understandable......"

Next, the group drove to the first candidate site, which is located in the northernmost part of the Morton industrial area, close to the sea, and has easy access to water.

Ma Lingling introduced: "Xu Dong, the area of this land is about 7,800 acres, and there is no need to build another water pipeline, which can save a lot of costs. ”

"The terrain is too low, how can we solve it in case of flooding?" Xu Dong said worriedly.

"Xu Dong, please rest assured that there are several artificial flood channels in the industrial zone, and Brisbane is not a basin terrain, even if there is a major flood, there will not be as serious waterlogging as Sydney."

Vice Mayor Lin hurriedly reassured.

Xu Dong nodded, and then asked, "Is there a large port nearby?" There will be bulk cargo exchanges in the sub-base in the future, and it will undoubtedly be much more convenient if there is a port. ”

"Xu Dong, more than 200 kilometers to the north, is the Fraser Port under construction, according to the design plan, it will be the largest port on the entire east coast."

Ma Lingling interjected and replied.

"The biggest? Isn't the biggest one Port Sydney? ”

Xu Dong said curiously.

It stands to reason that Sydney is the number one city in Kangaroo Country in terms of city size and population, and even if the first port is to be built, the port of Sydney should be expanded.

Vice Mayor Lin explained with a smile: "Don't you know, Dong Xu, the sea level has dropped a little faster in recent years, and the existing port can be used for more than ten years at most, and then the new port needs to be rebuilt."

Unlike Port Fraser, where it is located, Fraser Island is located deep into the ocean, on the edge of the continental shelf, and its role is irreplaceable. ”

"I see, teachable."

"Mayor Lin, can we build a small wharf by ourselves?" Ma Lingling interjected.

"In principle, there is no problem, the city is willing to help you apply."

Vice Mayor Lin promised on the spot.

"That's great, thank you!"

Ma Lingling said excitedly.

The cost of sea freight is much cheaper than land transportation.

Xu Dong was also very satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, the group came to the second candidate site, which is also located in the Moreton Industrial Zone, very south, which was originally a small island in Moreton Bay, covering an area of 128 square kilometers.

Now the sea is changing, and the island has become a mountain.

"Xu Dong, you see, this place was originally a residential area, so the land is relatively flat, with a total area of more than 130 square kilometers, I don't know if your company is interested?"

"Is it all this blockbuster?"

Xu Dong was surprised.

More than 130 square kilometers of land, equivalent to an area of 200,000 acres, is almost ten times the size of the Yanjing headquarters, and it is estimated that it will not be used up for decades.

"That's right." Vice Mayor Lin nodded.

"How much?" Xu Dong's heart was instantly moved.

Vice Mayor Lin smiled slightly: "No money, the rent is free." ”

"Such a big deal?"

"Preferential treatment also depends on the object, only with such a big investment as Xu Dong, and you are a grain production enterprise, will you have such treatment."

Vice Mayor Lin then changed his words:

"Of course, the preferential treatment is not given in vain, in terms of employment and tax payment, etc., it must meet the standards, and it must be assessed every year, otherwise you need to pay back rent."

"What are the specific indicators?"

Vice Mayor Lin smiled and waved his hand: "Dong Xu, you don't need to worry about such a large investment scale, I guarantee that you will definitely be able to meet the standard." ”

"Mayor Lin, then I won't play with you, let's settle here, we can sign a contract at any time."

Xu Dong said cleanly.

Such a large area, and no rent, as long as you encounter it, there is no reason to let it go.

"Xu Dong is really refreshing!" Vice Mayor Lin said happily, "How about signing the contract tomorrow morning?" The location will be at your hotel, and Mayor Ji will personally attend the signing ceremony. ”

"No problem, it's an honor!"

Xu Dong stretched out his hand and shook the other party's hand.

……

In a blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

The news of floods has come one after another in China, and the most iconic event is that the rivers and lakes led by the Honglong River and the Great River have ushered in the recovery of the whole territory after ten years of interruption.

Since last week, Aunt Li and Aunt Liao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as long as they are free, will sit in front of the TV and pay attention to the disaster situation in the Yanjing area at any time.

This is true today.

According to the latest news on television, tens of millions of people have been relocated and resettled in the capital region, and the situation is becoming more and more serious, and everyone's faces are full of worry.

"Sister Du, don't worry, Yanjing is not a hard-hit area at present, besides, Uncle Li's side happens to be the western suburbs, and the terrain is high, so there should be no danger."

Yang Lina tried to comfort.

In contrast, the southern region is dominated by mountainous and hilly terrain, with vertical and horizontal canyons, and the temperature rises faster, and the disaster losses are even more severe.

"He's a policeman, where there's danger, how can he be safe? I knew that the scale of the flood was so large, even if I was forced to die, I had to pull him over. ”

Aunt Li said remorsefully.

"Uncle Li is not young, his superiors should not arrange for him to go to the front line, at most he will do logistics support work, and there will be no danger."

Xu Dong helped persuade.

"I hope so, if your Uncle Li leaves, how can we orphans and widows live?"

Aunt Li had a crying tone in her voice.

Song Lin on the side felt the same way: "Alas, our Liang Hao went down to the grassroots level last week, and there is no news so far, so he is really anxious." ”

"Domestic communications are all cut off, and it's normal not to receive messages, so there's no need to be overly nervous."

Xu Dong hurriedly explained.

Aunt Liao expressed her gratitude again: "Dong Xu, I really want to thank you this time, if it weren't for you, we would still be in the western suburbs at this time, adults are nothing, I'm afraid that the child is in danger." ”

"Say this and you'll see the outside!"

Xu Dong said politely.

Aunt Li cried with a sad face: "I don't know how long this flood will last?" ”

"Based on Sydney's experience, it is estimated that it will not take more than a month." Yang Lina affirmed.

"It should be more than that." Xu Dong shook his head, "It has been snowing in China for half a year, and the snow depth is several times that of ours, I'm afraid it's ......."
