Age of Dreams

Xiao Qi asked the Gu family to apply for the construction of a port in western Guangdong. Naturally, he had his own consideration.

Just as Gu Cang'en thought, the port in western Guangdong is closer to the mouth of the bag, which is most suitable for gathering ships from Southeast Asian countries.

Moreover, the daily throughput of the ports in Guangdong is too complicated. If the ports in western Guangdong can be turned into a specialized port mainly for agricultural products, it will be very efficient.

Of course, this does not mean that it was transferred to western Guangdong because the port of Guangdong could not accommodate it.

In fact, the port throughput of Guangdong Province is less than 50% of the total designed capacity.

As for why not to further develop the potential of the Guangdong port, instead of spreading the capacity to the eastern coastal ports such as Quanzhou and Lingbo

That is naturally related to Hong Kong.

In order to ensure the full use of Hong Kong's port, the state did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of Guangdong to guarantee them. Many goods have to transit to Hong Kong once before entering the customs through the inland river to Nanwan, Guangdong.

In fact, many cargo ships hope that they can directly use the ports of Guangdong, so as not to have so many troubles to go around, and the cost is so much cheaper.

However, Hong Kong’s economy is now depressed enough. If they take away their port transportation industry, then Hong Kong will really become a stagnant pool, completely devoid of any vitality.

Therefore, the country cannot fully develop the potential of Guangdong.

However, some people just don’t know good or bad. It is clear that the country has made so many arrangements and arrangements, which is not bad for them, but they just want to make trouble, or kneel and lick the British father. Life is much better.

Little do they know this is just an illusion, an illusion that everyone can see through at a glance.

They had a good time in those years, firstly because it was the only window for communication between China and abroad, and secondly because the mainland was very poor at that time.

Now that China has developed, mainlanders are getting richer day by day, and Hong Kong, which is inherently inadequate, will naturally become lonely. This is a normal thing.

But many Hong Kong people have never thought about how to work hard to develop the rest of the road and make Hong Kong’s future better. They just think about how they are not going well and how they are upset. I really want to call Xiao Qi to say, this is The typical illness-free groaning and reaching out for money.

Compared with Hong Kong, the treasure island is really different.

Although they have been hit repeatedly, such as financial turmoil, shipping crisis, oil crisis, etc., the businessmen of Baodao can face it positively and actively transform their business, so that Baodao’s economy can always develop well. , Will not collapse like Hong Kong.

So you can see that Baodao’s happiness index is actually quite high, and ordinary people there are quite simple. This is the manifestation of happiness in life.

It’s different here in Hong Kong. Many people complain like a grieving woman all day long, but never try to change the status quo by themselves. People from the Mainland will really see it after one year, two years, three years and five years. annoying!

Xiao Qi can't manage the entanglement between Guangdong and Hong Kong, but the port on the western side of Guangdong is a project that the country will focus on in the past two years.

In fact, the Qingzhou port on the western side of Guangdong has been in use, but the scale is not large enough, the supporting facilities are not enough, and the service is not perfect, so it has not been able to form a scale.

If you really want to make good use of it, it will be easy to handle hundreds of billions of dollars in agricultural products a year.

In this way, China will have an additional window for importing foreign agricultural products, and the pressure on China's land will be further reduced.

Japan’s land area is only slightly larger than that of Shuchuan, and its arable area is not as good as that of Shuchuan. It must be often fallowed. But they have a population of 200 million. How do they deal with the food they eat on weekdays?

You know, they don’t like to import food from abroad. Japan’s propaganda is that the best things in the country are the best.

The solution is simple. Japanese businessmen rent land abroad. All raw materials, fertilizers, management, etc. are all made by the Japanese. After such agricultural products are shipped to the country, they can be regarded as domestically produced in Japan.

Xiao Qi thinks this approach is very good. He rents land in Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries, and is also inspired by the Japanese.

Even in these agricultural bases, there are still quite a few agricultural experts in Japan.

Xiao Qi feels that since the Japanese are serious about doing things, it is a good thing to use their strengths to serve the Chinese.

Let your enemies work for you, that's what you can do.

These crops, such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, can reach China by sea. The cost of shipping is very low, and the timeliness will not be reduced much.

This Qingzhou port in western Guangdong is the best distribution center.

There is also a very important factor. Southeast Asia is actually a cloth bag. Basically, it is the traditional sphere of influence of China. Even if there is something in the future, the transportation of materials from here into China is far better than passing through the Strait of Malacca. It's much easier.

Ahem, of course, it is necessary to guarantee this big pocket, and there are more important strengths to guarantee, then it is not something Xiao Qi should worry about.

After coming, Xiao Qi called Niu Ruzheng and relayed the Gu family's request and his own thoughts.

Niu Ruzheng has no opinion on the Gu family joining the ranks of oil transportation. The Gu family has always maintained a good relationship with the center and is one of the representatives of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, so their legitimate demands are generally allowed.

Moreover, China is more than just this $100 billion oil order, including the oil purchased from Iran and Syria in 2009, and after the expansion of production in the future, the best order will be an endless stream of exports to China.

Now China understands it, and following the pricing system of the United States and the United Kingdom, there is no benefit at all.

China is simply ready to break this rule and buy and sell oil directly with Iran, Syria, and even Russia. This is in the best interest of China.

This kind of business is the most ideal, but in fact there is no way to do it so smoothly.

Because the United States cannot just sit back and watch these countries that are not in its grasp, and how to advance and retreat, and how to maximize the benefits within the scope of the rules, China needs to consider.

Xiao Qi cannot get involved in this, but he knows that the current financial situation in Europe and the United States is not very good, and they are a little overwhelmed. Coupled with the threat of China and Russia joining forces, let them back down for about a year, that is no problem. .

As for whether the purchase of oil will go so smoothly in the future, we will talk about it later.

If it doesn't work, Xiao Qi will not hesitate to take advantage of the Ukraine incident and severely cheat the EU and Russia, let them take care of themselves, and buy time for the development of China.

Niu Ruzheng would not know that the future environment would be more affluent for the country of China than it is now, but he also understands what it means to be fast.

Regardless of what happens in the future, the faster the delivery of the more oil-Chinese countries, the victory will be achieved.

Therefore, he didn't have to say anything, so he asked Xiao Qi to tell Gu Cang'en that he hoped that Mr. Gu could come to the capital recently if his physical condition allowed.

With this attitude, there is no problem with oil transportation. With such a large business in the Gu family, the shipping business will once again usher in a peak of development and bring them enough benefits.

This is exactly what the center wants to see.

Follow me and have meat to eat, just say what you are doing!

As for the Qingzhou Port in western Guangdong, Niu Ruzheng was very interested and asked Xiao Qi to send him the information and ideas for a look.

Over the years, many ports in China have actually cooperated with merchants.

For example, Guangdong Port actually has shares in Li Chaoren, Li Sishu, and Zheng Yoga. In Dongfang Port, Jinwei Port, Lingbo Port, etc., each has shares in Hong Kong or Nanyang wealthy businessmen.

It is precisely because of their large amounts of capital and technology that these ports can be quickly developed for commercial operations.

Of course, the country hopes to have a special agricultural and sideline product port like Qingzhou Port.

In the western part of Guangdong, due to various geographical and environmental factors, Qingzhou Port has not yet developed on a large scale. It can only be said that there has been a plan, but the funds and support have not kept up.

According to preliminary estimates, tens of billions of funds are needed here.

Many of Nanyang's resources are very elementary resources and do not have much economic added value. In terms of profitability, investing tens of billions is not very cost-effective.

If it is high-value electronic products and so on, then basically it will go to Guangdong and Hong Kong, where the transportation is more developed and the industry is denser, unlike the more remote areas in western Guangdong.

Therefore, even if I visited the rich in Hong Kong and Taiwan a few years ago, there was no result~www.readwn.com~ I didn't expect that Xiao Qi actually moved the Gu family this time.

The Gu family has a huge wealth of 18 billion U.S. dollars, and the wealth they can drive is more than 50 billion U.S. dollars. As long as they take the lead, the Chinese rich in Southeast Asia will follow up more or less, and the funding problem will be solved.

Thinking of this, Niu Ruzheng was also a little moved.

If China can trade more agricultural and sideline products with Southeast Asia through Qingzhou Port, then the relationship between them will follow closely, and they will be tied to the interests of China, it is not impossible.

After all, from a practical point of view, these countries are based on agriculture, and industry is still not that important. Once the interests of the farmers are taken care of, the farmers who occupy the vast majority of Southeast Asia’s population will not be able to get close to China.

At that time, China will have a lot of room for tossing and turning, so that the United States will not stir up opposition in this area and make China feel a little restrained!
