Chapter 367 Finger leaks

  Tang Shaoyi smiled, and said in response; "Hehe...A few of you, don’t worry, I will come together if you don’t ask."

  "Thank you Secretary Tang for your confusion."

   "You don't have to be polite, Brother Lu and I hit it off right away, and we talked very happily. Too polite makes you feel good." Tang Shaoyi knew that these were all people who had been in the eyes of Lord Earl, so she expressed her good intentions, and said after a moment of indulgence;

  “These three towns are selected for development in northern Queensland. From the map, they are Darwin, Cairns and Qingdao from north to south. Each key town is 800 to more than a thousand kilometers apart and is a coastal port town.

  First of all, Darwin Town is located at the top of northwestern Queensland. After we owned Shangri-La Island and part of Borneo, its geographic importance became more prominent and became a crossroad connecting the north and the south.

Darwin Town is 1818 km from Port Moresby, the capital of Shangri-La Island, 1170 km from Tianshu Town, the leading town in the development of Qingshui River Basin, and only 656 km from Borneo Dili (East Timor) under the British Straits Governor’s House, and 669 km from Jayapura. Kilometers, 174 kilometers from Sulawesi, 1462 kilometers from Samarinda, 2550 kilometers from Brisbane, 3621 kilometers from Melbourne, 2735 kilometers from Batavia (Jakarta), the seat of the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies.

  Such a geographical location makes Darwin very suitable for being an important logistics transit base, and its military significance is far greater than economic benefits.

  To build it, the several territories of Lord Earl will be closely linked, so the construction of Darwin is imperative, but to what extent is it worth considering?

  Darwin’s advantages are very obvious. Its surrounding seaports are deep and wide, with excellent conditions and extremely important geographical location. In addition to the discovery of gold mines in 1880, it has the basic conditions for building a trade transit city relying on gold mines.

  But its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the strong tropical cyclones that generate in the South Pacific each year have a great impact on the climate of Darwin. A strong hurricane in 1860 destroyed the city and caused hundreds of casualties.

  The disadvantage of this natural environment has affected the upper limit of Darwin’s development, and this problem cannot be solved in the foreseeable short-term.

   Next, let’s talk about Cairns, which is located on the east coast of the Cape York Peninsula in the north of Queensland. The land distances to Brisbane and Sydney are 1,700 kilometers and 2,420 kilometers, and Qingdao Town is 810 kilometers away.

  This is also a city where gold mines have been discovered. The surrounding area is vast and there are many pastures. Because of the tropical rainforest climate, the rainfall is abundant every year, and some areas with dense rivers are suitable for the development of farming.

  Except for the slightly hot climate, other conditions are excellent, with broad development space, and it is a strong competitor of Qingdao Town.

  Finally, let’s talk about Qingdao Town. What are its advantages and disadvantages?

  Look on the map

Qingdao Town is located in the middle of Brisbane and Cairns, 810 kilometers away from Cairns and 892 kilometers away from Brisbane. It has a superior climate and a vast hinterland for inland development. It has a large area of ​​gentle hilly areas, dense water networks nearby, and two Seasonal rivers are navigable.

  Once it develops

  The northeast coast of Queensland forms four evenly distributed core cities from Darwin, Cairns, Qingdao Town, and Brisbane. They are separated by about 800 to 1,000 kilometers, each with a broad development space.

   Although the bay in Qingdao Town is not large, the water depth conditions are excellent. The average water depth is more than 17 meters, and ships of more than 100,000 tons can come and go freely.

  With superior port conditions, several nearby towns can rely on the development of Qingdao Town. The nearby Townsville Town has the world’s most abundant coal resources, and Linyi Town has an astonishing number of zinc and phosphate mines.

Qingdao Town is located at the mouth of the Ross River, close to Cleveland Bay. The hinterland includes the western mining area and private ranch area, and the northern beef cattle ranch area. In the future, the sugar industry can be developed according to local conditions, large meat processing plants, large copper and zinc smelting enterprises, large woolen mills, and development Industries such as sugar, shipbuilding, and iron and steel products have the potential to develop into a leading town in the development of the north, and rebuild a "new Songjiang Town".

  So, I want to congratulate you, brothers are really lucky, I have picked up such a treasure of Feng Shui in vain, it is really hard not to get rich! "

Tang Shaoyi smiled and arched her hands to express her congratulations, but found that the kitchen knife group of 4 people was awkward. He only understood that a new "New Songjiang Town" would be built later. As for the other resources, the conditions of the deep water port, and the geographical location. , I don’t understand the development space, and I have a big eye and a small eye.

  Is there a shortage of coal mines in Australia?

  The answer is that there is no shortage at all. New South Wales and Victoria are not lacking, and Queensland is not lacking, and they are all such high-quality open-pit large-scale coal mines. How much can you burn?

  Below the private ranch of Zhao Qishan and others, after removing the surface floating soil, there is a high-quality coal mine. There is no other use except for burning the stove. They can't think of the use of these almost endless high-quality fuels?

The coal used by the small steamer in Qingdao Port is drawn by a horse-drawn cart. The coal is free. You can pull as much as you want. You just use it so hard, and only dig a pit that is tens of meters long. So much coal has to be used for the year of the monkey?

  As for zinc mines and phosphate mines, Zhao Qishan and others have also heard people say about them in the town, but everyone didn't care.

  The thing is tens of thousands of tons, the key is that you can't send it out if you dig it out, and it's not worth any money if you send it out, it's a waste of money!

  Affected by the limitations of the times

Most of the immigrant groups and the local white cowboys are illiterate, and the few who can understand a few words are also very limited. After coming to Australia, the scope of immigration activities is limited to about a hundred miles. Discredited.

  Whether white people in Queensland or Chinese immigrants, everyone knows that they should be loyal to the lord, Lord Earl of Queensland. I don’t know who the southern states are? Don't know who London is? Don't know how sacred Her Majesty is?

  That is too far away from their lives. According to the custom of European descendants, the lord’s lord is not my lord.

  In other words, I only need to be loyal to my lord.

  According to the recognition of Chinese immigrants, the Lord of Queensland is the co-lord of all Chinese immigrants. It is a matter of course to be loyal to the lord to support all immigrants thousands of miles away.

  There are factors that imperceptibly guide the media such as newspapers and magazines, as well as customs that have been deeply rooted for thousands of years. In this era when national consciousness has not been awakened, the Chinese people who have gone abroad have a strong sense of grouping.

The   chopper group of 4 is considered a small group of well-informed people, but that's all. They can't have a global strategic vision. Tang Shaoyi's remarks can be regarded as playing the piano to the bull, and showing the blind to the blind.

  Slightly regained consciousness

Tang Shaoyi realized his mistake. He himself was the first group of young children to study in the United States. He studied in the United States in his youth and youth. After returning to the mainland of China, he came to Australia and followed the Lord Earl in the southeast, northwest and northwest. The Singapore peace talks have cultivated an extremely outstanding international vision.

When I was around the Lord Piaget, what I saw, heard, and touched was all about international affairs. From the perspective of the overall situation of Australia, we considered the problem, and considered the development and future of Queensland in an all-round way. We constantly tempered our abilities, regardless of the place. The gains and losses of a department.

  After years and months, I mistakenly thought that everyone else was just like myself. It was a bit of a mistake. It was a huge difference and made a mistake of empiricism.

  He laughed at himself and took a cup of tea to drink water to hide his embarrassment.

"It’s no secret from Secretary Tang, the reason why our brothers spent all their money to set up private ranch in Qingdao Town is all thanks to the old Mike. Qishan and Guangtian are both old Mike’s son-in-laws. Ma Weimin and I are old Mike. The mayor’s subordinates had all lived in Pine Town before.” Lu Qiang broke the awkward atmosphere and explained.

   "Old Mayor Mike, what are you talking about?"

   "Old Mike was the former mayor of Pine Town. At the beginning of the establishment of Red River Valley Ranch, he was the first white cowboy to follow Lord Earl."

"Oh... I see, it's with Nan Huaiyu and Liu Shan's group of old people. It turns out that this is the case. Then it makes sense." Tang Shaoyi suddenly realized, smiled and slapped his thigh and said; "It is often said that there is an old man in Taoism , If there is a treasure, it is no wonder that my brothers all invested and started businesses in Qingdao Town. It turned out that there was an old Mike’s factor in this. I guess Old Mike could not have such a good vision. Before Qingdao Town was developed, he decided that this place is different. Every sound, Master Earl must call one or two, Master Earl is really kind, and he treats the old man with extraordinary care!"

Zhao Qishan and the others were stunned. They had never thought about this problem before, and then said after a little recollection; "I don’t know if I wait for it. I think it should be like this. This peck is a natural decision. I should wait for it. Repay this kindness?"

   "If you just say it, don't listen to it, don't take it seriously, you should be your blessing when you say it."

"Thank you, Secretary Tang, it sounds really exciting. We just don’t know how Qingdao Town should behave properly if it can be developed? If you can get a face-to-face interview from Secretary Tang, we should be grateful." Facing the good things falling from the sky , Zhao Qishan had no bottom in his heart.

"Well..." Tang Shaoyi thought carefully and said; "Qingdao is prospered by the port, and it is the only way for the important resources of the surrounding towns to go to the sea. The port warehouse is naturally the top priority. If the capital is sufficient, invest in the terminal. It’s the best way to make a steady profit without losing money.”

  Investment terminal?

Zhao Qishan and the others looked at each other. They knew that this was a sea port, not an inland wharf. Even with the efforts of six companies, it would not be possible to build a sea port wharf. The coastal concrete revetment and concrete permanent wharf are a big investment, at least 10%. Starting at 10,000 pounds.

Six companies have tried their best to sell some cattle and sheep for a tens of thousands of pounds. No matter how much it is, it is impossible. Unless they sell their own private pastures, according to the current hot market, It is very possible to make up five or six thousand pounds.

   "Secretary Tang, the investment in the terminal is too big, and we small families can't afford such a big business."

"Of course, ha ha ha... If you can put out so much money, I would be surprised that the Qingdao Port Terminal will be able to earn the same wealth as Jinshan Yinhai, even if only a small share in it is enough. You can’t eat and drink.” Tang Shaoyi knew that they had misunderstood, and explained with a smile; “The investment in this large harbour project is not less than 300,000 pounds, and if the permanent terminal warehouse is added, it will exceed 420,000 pounds. Yes, I mean you all have been caught up in the law of Lord Earl. If you want to make a fortune, you can invest in it, how much money you have and how much money you invest, so that your children and grandchildren will not worry about food and drink for generations to come, and enjoy wealth in peace."

   After a few words, Zhao Qishan blushed like monkey buttocks.

  They know that the investment in harbour terminals is huge, but they didn't expect the investment to be so large. It is ridiculous that their own people are still worried about not having enough money. What is the problem of not having enough money... It's almost a thousand miles away.

  If it is not the brothers who have made a little contribution, they are not even qualified to participate in the shareholding. This is what the secretary just said;

  A little bit between the fingers of Lord Earl is enough for a group of 4 kitchen knives to eat and wear for a lifetime. This is a shame!
