money trouble

Chapter 665 Was Targeted at the Beginning (4K Chapters)

The grand occasion of Baipela, a seaport city in Solan Kingdom, was recorded by sailors on ships moored in the port, and the news flew to all parts of the world as if they had wings.

All of a sudden, Solan, a third world country that had no sense of existence before, became the focus of the world.

In the next few days, newspapers from many countries published photos of the Solando Wharf, accompanied by press releases. Some press releases could still see some rumors, but some were completely nonsensical.

Those who didn't know thought that there was a riot in Solan, and only a few insiders were thinking about their own investment path.

A newly reclaimed barren land contains unlimited business opportunities. This is a virgin land. Finally, someone made up his mind and became the first person to eat crabs. Naturally, there are many investors who are eager to hear the news.

However, all high-ranking people with a lot of money are not uninformed. They learned about the recent situation of Solan Kingdom from their respective sources, and they were all shocked.

From the time when the patriotic military government was captured and lost power by the three-party coalition warlords to when Or Hanwen regained control of the Solan Kingdom, it took less than a month, and it was obvious that earth-shaking changes were about to take place.

A very small number of media have also collected aerial photos taken outside the port of Baipela, all of which are Qiming Shipping Group’s cargo ships. It can be seen that this shipping group is one of the important partners supporting the development of Solan Nation.

When someone repaired the unclear aerial photos and saw the general situation on the freighter, I was shocked.

Those cargo ships, equipped with heavy weapons, showed their muscles. If such ships were connected together, even if all the pirates in the entire Suo country were dispatched, they would not be able to shake it at all, but would be wiped out.

When mooring in other countries' ports, you only need to pay a certain fee, and ask the other country's government to send someone to temporarily seal up the armaments, and there will be no hindrance.

(There are precedents, a little troublesome, but doable.)
"It's no wonder that the Gulf of Aden has been calm for the past half month, and there are no pirates. It turns out that's the case..."

Some multinational shipping tycoons were still wondering why no one had reported incidents of encountering pirates in the Suez Canal area recently. It turned out that the Sergey family's fight against pirates had begun to bear fruit.

Although no heavy-duty destroyers and other war weapons were dispatched, every cargo ship of the Qiming Shipping Group was armed with heavy weapons. Who could provoke this.

Using freighters to carry heavy weapons to deter pirates can only be regarded as a palliative solution. The pirates are not eliminated, but are scared into hiding. Once the limelight passes, they will still come out to commit murder.

But at least, for a period of time, the Gulf of Aden can be guaranteed to be safe.

This is enough, and it is completely possible to communicate with other countries and media.

"Look up the information of Qiming Shipping Group, more or less I owe them a favor."

International shipping tycoons don't care about the little money extorted by pirates, but if the problem is solved, they are still happy. Therefore, Wu Qian's name appears in more fields around the world.

At the same time, some interested people associated the combination of Wu Qian and Kuretta to the incident in front of the Louvre more than a month ago. This shows that the relationship between Wu Qian and Kuretta is very intriguing.

The two have an unusual partnership.

There are always investors with a long-term vision in the world. Many capitalists in Asia, Europe and the United States have learned a very hidden message through their own news channels. Solan is about to be recognized by the United Nations and become a sovereign country.

This news makes those who wait and see can no longer sit still.

If Solan cannot become a sovereign state, there will be many obstacles in diplomacy and trade, and it will be difficult for capitalists to obtain legal protection for the interests obtained in Solan.

But once Solan is recognized by the United Nations, becomes a sovereign country, and has a legal world status, all trade behaviors will be legal and compliant behaviors worldwide.

Suolanguo's recruitment is on the third day. Except for a very few projects that must be at the forefront, the personnel have not been allocated, and calls have already been made to the mobile phones of Kureta, Wu Qian and Yao Xinlu. superior.

Originally, there would be no matter about Yao Xinlu, but her name was known to the outside world along with Qiming Shipping.

In comparison, Kuretta is the person who received the most calls for negotiations. After all, he is the contemporary head of Maoziguo's old arms family, and he has a certain reputation in the world.

The content of these calls is extremely similar, and they are all asking about investment, taxation, labor, transportation and other related matters.

Food, textiles, rubber, clothing, leather... Capital in various fields intends to flow towards Solan, where labor is cheap.

In just three days, it has already shown a thriving trend, but Wu Qian and Kuretta both euphemistically evaded it by "waiting for the United Nations to approve and approve it" during the phone call.

This phenomenon is very much in line with Wu Qian's original expectation. He vigorously developed Bai Peila, but it was an effect of throwing bricks and attracting jade. The ultimate goal is to stimulate the development of a country. Get a return from taxes.

If you want to tax, of course you need external assets to enter the country of Solan, but there are some extremely important industries that will not let others get involved, such as the military, such as energy.

The development of things was smooth sailing, but when Solan set sail and advanced bravely, and everyone was very optimistic about this big economic ship, the United States displayed a mirage on the sea level, which made many capitalists who intend to invest in Solan country instantly hesitated.

At a diplomatic press conference, the US side vaguely stated that it might not vote for Solan at the UN General Assembly.

Originally speaking, the United Nations is not the Congress of the United States. So many countries have expressed their support for it. It does not matter whether the United States agrees or not, but the problem is not as simple as it seems.

In the final analysis, the United States is still the largest economy in the world today, and it affects the economic development of many countries overtly and secretly. In other words, many countries depend on the face of the United States to live their lives.

The attitude of the United States is ambiguous, and the attitudes of many countries have also become ambiguous.

On the morning of the last day of the recruiting period, in the col basin southeast of Baipela, construction vehicles were going back and forth, and more than a dozen 300-type excavators were digging into the ground, buckets of sand were cleared out of the ground, and it was extremely busy. It can be seen that the ground has been dug a lot lower.

This is the address where Kuretta and Wu Qian jointly built the military factory.

At the beginning, Kureta only planned to build a small arms factory for the production of light firearms, but as time went by and the situation changed, Wu Qian and Kureta continued to increase military investment. The scale gradually expanded.

Judging from the drawings, the current munitions factory is more than ten times larger than the munitions factory originally envisioned by Kureta.

Even for the production of military equipment such as fighter jets and heavy armored vehicles, there is no problem as long as there is enough steel. If it is changed to the seaside, as long as there is technical support, it is completely capable of producing various warships.

When this munitions factory is completed, it will definitely be the number one munitions factory in Africa.

Next to the construction site, in a temporary iron house, the air conditioner was blowing. Wu Qian looked through the glass at the construction site in full swing, while Kureta walked back and forth, looking very anxious.

"Kureta, are you suffering from the heat, but isn't it even hotter if you walk around like this?"

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Kuretara pulled his face, and he knew that he was in a bad mood at a glance. He heard what Wu Qian said, and said: "Wu, how can you be so calm, those guys in the US Congress are simply too bastards. Excluding Mi Gou, eight countries have become ambiguous."

NATO is the abbreviation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with a total of 29 internal member states, which is a symbol of the United States' realization of the leadership of a superpower.

Wu Qian said with a smile: "The eight countries are right, but you don't even look at what countries they are. Whether it is military capabilities or GDP income, the sum of the eight countries is not as good as half of Italy, let alone Germany, Britain and France. I see, it makes you nervous."

The corners of Kuretta's mouth dropped, and he was in a bad mood, but he couldn't deny Wu Qian's words. Those countries that are ambiguous behind the United States are nothing more than some small ones whose annual GDP is only tens of billions of dollars. The real big countries have their own firm stand.

"What we have to do now is to develop well. Investment in military construction must be increased. You have to figure out a way for technical matters. I will handle the funds. I don't care about the income from arms, but at least half of the African market must be occupied. It's an influence and it's necessary."

"Half..." Kuretta exclaimed, his face was very strange, he glanced at Yao Xinlu sitting on the side and several bodyguards standing at the door, pulled Wu Qian aside, and said softly: "Wu, we discussed it earlier You only do business in a few neighboring countries, and now you... I can't explain it to the higher ups."

There are a total of [-] countries in Africa, and the country's favorite to buy weapons is the country of Maozi, followed by China, and then the country of America.

Statistics from the past ten years show that 40.00% of Africa’s total arms imports are from Maoziguo, 17.00% are from China, 11.00% are from the United States, and the rest are sporadic businesses.

At the very beginning, Kuretta proposed to Wu Qian that while providing Solan Patriotic Army equipment, at least a 5.00% share of the African arms market should be obtained. As the investment budget is increased time and time again, the expectation of occupying the market is also getting higher and higher .

Expectations are high, but there is a bottom line, some cakes are hard to grab.

After all, Kureta has to rely on Maoziguo's military in many aspects. Many things have been negotiated before, and they were all negotiated on the premise that they do not affect each other's interests. If interests are violated, I am afraid it will not be so smoothly.

What Kureta said must be considered, not only the interests of Maoziguo, but also the interests of the Celestial Dynasty must be taken into account.

"Then let's go with the 20.00% that was finally negotiated. Then you can negotiate a steel purchase contract with your country, and at the same time see if you can win a share of the arms business. That's no problem, right?"

Wu Qian suggested.

Business is an exchange of interests, and a balance will always be found. There is something to be said for exchanging steel orders for a part of the arms share, and Kuretta agreed to this errand.

After discussing the matter of arms, Wu Qian left the construction site. He still had other things to do.

In the afternoon, Wu Qian returned to Bai Peila.

Only five days have passed, and the urban area of ​​Baibera has changed. The demolition of dilapidated buildings is in full swing. Rows of tin mobile houses appear on the outskirts of the city. People who don't know it think they are in a certain war zone, which is very spectacular.

Zhang Junrui was discussing the structure of residential buildings with several designers. He was very happy to see Wu Qian.

Zhang Junrui has already received a notification from the Architectural Union College that both his and Wei Yuting's papers passed, and they are eligible for graduation ahead of schedule, but the news will not be announced until the graduation season of the second year.

"Mr. Wu, thank you very much for the graduation certificate."

Wu Qiandao: "If you and Wei Yuting don't have real skills, I can't help you either. By the way, have the plans for the gymnasium and museum that I told you before been done?"

"It's done, but the blueprint is not with me, please wait a moment, I will get it."

After all, Zhang Junrui was about to leave.

Prior to this, Wu Qian gave Zhang Junrui a small task, asking him to add a multi-functional gymnasium and museum to Bai Peila's urban planning.

Urban planning only needs to consider traffic, radiation and other issues, rather than making detailed drawings, which is easy to handle.

Zhang Junrui can still understand the construction of a multi-functional gymnasium, but he still can't figure it out from the beginning to the end, why build a museum in Baipeira, is there anything that needs to be exhibited, or is it worth exhibiting?

Wu Qian stopped Zhang Junrui and didn't let him get the blueprints.

"Don't be too busy, I have other things to ask you when I come here this time."

Hearing Wu Qian's words, Zhang Junrui stood still, waiting for the next sentence.

Wu Qiandao: "In the future, Suolan's oil consumption will definitely not be small, and a separate oil port needs to be established."

Zhang Junrui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Wu, I have seen the design drawing of the new port, and the scale is already large enough. If it is not a big crude oil exporter like Saudi Arabia, only importing crude oil is considered, the newly built port can completely competent."

Wu Qian did not intend to announce the news of crude oil to the public now, he patted Zhang Junrui on the shoulder and said: "Considering the issues of pollution and safety, let's build a separate oil port. If scientific research is moved here, the demand for crude oil will be huge.”

"Okay, that's it. After making a plan, add up together with other people. Don't make any mistakes in principle. I'm leaving, you are busy."

After speaking, Wu Qian left the construction site with his people.

Looking at Wu Qian's leaving back, Zhang Junrui was very puzzled. Fuel vehicles have entered the end of their life, so is there any value in scientific research?

"You are the boss, you have the final say..."

In the evening, Wu Qian talked with Lu Hao for a long time, gave him many instructions, and then left Bai Peila by plane overnight.

　Thanks to the book friend Lei Tinggull for the 100 reward.
