After inspecting Martina's troops and persuading Martina, Cheng Yuan continued to take Vivian and Louis to Marchena Island in the Colon Islands in a multi-purpose transport vehicle.

Marchena Island is an uninhabited island in the Colon Islands of Ecuador, with an area of ​​130 square kilometers. Although it is close to the equator, due to the influence of the cold current in Peru, the annual temperature here is around 25 degrees, the temperature is moderate, the rainfall is not large, and the vegetation Rich, beautiful scenery, there are many natural pollution-free coral reefs, very suitable for human habitation.

The Colon Islands were originally a province of Ecuador, that is, the Galapagos Province. This place is an enclave in the Pacific Ocean. It is very far away from the American continent. It is also compared with the Mariana Trench, which is where the Ina is hidden. It is close, so it is a good place to develop an energy supply base. Cheng Yuan took a fancy to this place at first sight.

Although the Ina is in the Mariana Trench, it is said that it would be better to get a piece of land in the Mariana Islands, which is the closest, but it is the territory of the United States after all, and there are many military bases, so it is not convenient to do things, so Cheng In the end, I chose the Colon Islands.

The Colon Islands is an enclave of Ecuador, alone in the Pacific Ocean, quite far from the mainland of Ecuador. Although the Colon Islands are a province of Ecuador, with Vivienne, all policies are easy to say.

Also after influencing the President of Ecuador, not long ago, the Ecuadorian government packaged and rented out the Colon Islands on the grounds of the financial crisis, that is, to make Ecuador an autonomous province, and then at a price of one billion euros, the governor’s The official position was sold to Vivienne.

According to this new policy, after Vivian spends one billion euros to Ecuador, she will become an honorary citizen of Ecuador and governor of the autonomous province of the Colon Islands for a term of 30 years.

During the 30-year tenure of the governor, in addition to continuing to pay a part of high taxes every year, Vivian can be made the de facto supreme leader of the entire archipelago on the premise of ensuring that he will not leave Ecuador, abide by the Ecuadorian constitution, and protect the original ecological environment. , with great autonomy throughout the Autonomous Province of the Colon Islands.For example, the new autonomous province can have independent administrative power, independent military power, limited diplomatic power, etc. In short, it is to admit that Vivienne can be a lord or warlord with great autonomy in this place.

As soon as this policy came out, the whole world was naturally in an uproar. However, a right-wing opposition force of the National Democratic Front has recently appeared in Ecuador and occupied many cities in the north. The Ecuadorian government is very angry. The threat of sending armed forces was urgently needed for funds, so it was justifiable to introduce this policy, and there was no big disturbance.Besides, according to the new policy, the Colon Islands are still a province of Ecuador, but a lot of autonomy has been delegated, and the official position of the supreme leader has been sold. The government of other countries rents it out as a military base.

Moreover, on the surface, in addition to spending a billion euros to buy a provincial governor, Vivienne has to pay taxes every year as usual. The amount of this tax is far greater than the total annual tax revenue of the Colon Islands in the past. From the looks of it, Ecuador is not at a disadvantage.

Not to mention the administrative power. This place is far away from Ecuador and has a small population. The local administrative expenditure itself is a big burden. Now let the new governor take care of himself, and the national government does not need to spend a penny to enter. What a wonderful thing that is.

The only sensitive thing is military power, but the policy also stipulates that in the new Galapagos Autonomous Province, the so-called independent military power refers to the fact that mercenaries can be formed in the name of the governor himself.

This mercenary army does not belong to the national defense force, but the local auxiliary force of the autonomous province. It is equivalent to temporary workers in the army, and the scale is controlled within a division. The main duties are to maintain law and order, protect the island, fight against smuggling, and serve as a guard of honor. When necessary, they must obey the dispatch of the Ecuadorian Ministry of National Defense, which is equivalent to adding an armed force of a local garrison division, but it does not require the country to spend a penny, which also saves Ecuador a sum of military expenses.

As for the limited diplomatic rights, it’s actually just a good idea. The major foreign policy is decided by the country. The limited diplomatic rights mainly mean that here you can apply for your own visas, and you can more freely recruit residents from all over the world to live here. To put it bluntly, this is also for the development of the local economy.

As for other judicial powers, they must abide by the Ecuadorian Constitution. At most, some local laws can be enacted, but they must be done under the condition that they do not conflict with the Constitution.

In short, the autonomous province's new policy is very strict, and no matter how you look at it, the country will not suffer. Coupled with the strong support of the president, it was implemented very quickly, and an agreement was quickly signed with Vivienne.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that those benefits are all imaginary. The most important thing is that once this policy comes out, it is tantamount to selling the autonomy of the Coron Islands. The original state-led has become private-led, even if this private The identity of an Ecuadorian citizen is on his head, and the nature is fundamentally different.

However, since it is a South American country, any weird policies may appear, and everyone is not surprised. This matter will be in the news for a few days at most, and then it will be quickly washed away by new news.

The reason why it is so troublesome to do this is also a point for Cheng Yuan to slowly advance the plan.

In Cheng Yuan's original plan, these enclaves with little secular interference should be the center, and then those places like Tumaco should be extended to gradually spread his influence.

In the future, the Cologne Islands, which are close to the equator and sparsely populated, will be the focus of Cheng Yuan's blueprint. New technology manufacturing companies, energy companies, and aerospace businesses will all be launched here, because there are few people here and the environment is primitive , that is, less monitored, so it is very convenient to act secretly.

Moreover, it is also very close to Colombia, and it is also very close to the Tumaco autonomous region where Martina wants to start, so a good interaction can be formed by then.

Even Cheng Yuan has a mid-to-long-term plan, which is to rebuild the country of Gran Colombia and unify the northern parts of South America for future development.

After grabbing a handful of sand from the ground, and slowly letting the sand slip through his fingers, Cheng Yuan clapped his hands and said to Louis, "How is it, Louis, this place is not bad?"

"Well." Louis nodded, "Marchena is an uninhabited island, and Vivienne has become the governor of this autonomous province. It is indeed very convenient to start a new technology company here, at least for a long time. It will not be disturbed by the outside world."

"That's it." Vivienne said, "We have everything in terms of economy, politics, and technology, and we have taken into account the right time, place, and people. If it doesn't work, it really doesn't make sense."

"Hehe." Cheng Yuan smiled, and looked at the endless blue sea in the distance, "Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is an enclave. If we want to develop it in the normal way, the cost will naturally increase greatly. However, we are Taking the usual road, these disadvantages of inconvenient transportation are our advantages.”

"Well." Louis looked around, "President, as long as you give me a week, I can follow the procedures you sent me here to build a monthly output of [-] tons of high-performance carbon fiber and [-] tons of graphite." If you give me a month, I can build all the nanomaterial factories you imagined!"

"Of course I believe this." Cheng Yuan shook his head, "However, there is no need to be so anxious. After all, your speed is too scary, and it will arouse suspicion."

"So, Vivian." Cheng Yuan looked at Vivian, "The next step is to continue to play the style that you can make money and lose money, and continue to spend money here, such as transporting a few ships of building materials and so on. , Building a few villas, factories, etc., to deceive people. Oh, yes, a few new policies, especially the immigration policy, to accept more skilled immigrants, so that it is convenient to take over the disciples of Louis."

"Understood, I'll do it when I get back." Vivian nodded, "Then, my lord, shall we use this place as our main base in the future for long-term development?"

"It is." Cheng Yuan nodded, "However, at present, you are mainly here to stay and develop slowly, and I have to go back to China first. After all, some things have to be done slowly, especially in the early stage. You can't be too cautious."

"Oh." Vivian blinked, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Actually, this is just one of the main fulcrums in my plan." Cheng Yuan smiled, "There are many similar fulcrums, you can see that Martina's Tumako District is a fulcrum. In addition, I just bid in Huaxia I have acquired the right to use a small island, and there will be a fulcrum in the future, and there will be more and more such fulcrums in the future, for example, in Africa, I have also thought about a few fulcrums.”

"Does it need to be so troublesome?" Vivienne frowned. "It doesn't seem good to be so scattered. Why not concentrate on development? Isn't centralized development faster?"

"In investment science, there is a saying that you can't put all eggs in one basket." Cheng Yuan smiled and shook his head, "It is true that concentrated development is faster, but it is also easier to attract the attention of the world, and it is easy to attract people's attention." Trouble, so let’s find a few more fulcrums and develop different industries in different fulcrums. In this way, it will distract everyone’s attention and win us time for development. When each of them develops well, then it will be us It's time to regroup our forces and have a showdown with the major forces."

"Oh?" Upon hearing Cheng Yuan's words, Vivian's eyes lit up, "Is this going to dominate the world? Have you finally started the road to dominate the earth?"

"Hahaha, you're thinking too much!" Cheng Yuan tapped Vivienne's forehead with his finger, "What do you want to rule the world? At that time, I just want everyone to look at us squarely and give us more room for development. As for unification The whole world? That kind of thing that hurts and suffers, whoever wants to do it, I don’t do it anyway! You, learn more from the United States, and read less stupid cartoons!"
