the next day,
St. Jose got up early, stretched his body and did a set of boxing. After washing, under the arrangement of the housekeeper,
Have breakfast with Lao Yev,
Lao Yeff's manor is very spacious, enough to accommodate dozens or hundreds of people. The team that protected Saint Jose also stayed there last night.
This place used to lack popularity, but now it's much better.
Many places are a bit dilapidated, and the back garden is not even taken care of, with a lot of weeds.
Breakfast is not too rich, with bacon, cucumber, yerba mate, baked potatoes, canned meat and fish, boiled corn, and no vegetables.
"I'm really sorry, this breakfast may not be to your taste."
"Actually, it's not bad. Your canned fish is very good, but it should still be quite expensive."
Sanjesé remembered that he had considered canning meat last year, but had not taken any action. In addition to the lack of necessary equipment, he also lacked steel and stamping machines. Therefore, he still does not have his own meat canning factory, which is quite a pity.
"This is indeed expensive. The meat canneries in our country produce it in relatively small quantities, and it is even more expensive than river fish."
Lao Yev opened the can, picked up a piece with a clean fork, and put it into his mouth, as if he was eating delicious food in the world.
"This is also because our country's industry is underdeveloped. Logically speaking, the price of fresh fish is about the same as that of canned fish."
Saint Jose also took a bite of canned fish. The bones were a little crispy and the fish was salty. It would have been nice to have white porridge. It was very suitable to have porridge, so he had to take a baked potato and eat it with the potato.
"I heard that during World War II, American soldiers vomited after eating canned luncheon meat. On the contrary, the Soviets, the British and the French thought it was a delicacy on earth. Isn't it just a mixture of starch, some plants and minced meat? ,
What’s even more surprising is that we Argentinians also think luncheon meat is delicious, but the price is more expensive than beef and pork. The same is true for canned fish and meat. My son doesn’t eat much in the United States, and the price is very cheap. "
Lao Yev also took a baked potato and broke it open, still steaming.
"Honestly, luncheon meat is still great. At least it filled the bellies of the Allied and Soviet troops. I heard that people in South Korea have invented many unique ways to eat it."
Saint Jose picked up a piece of corn and said casually.
"Where are the South Koreans? Is there such a country in the world? I thought there were only thirty or forty countries in the world."
What Lao Yev said is correct. After all, there are still many colonies that are not independent. Most Argentinians know the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile, and they are considered to be very good students.
Most people in the south don't even know about Paraguay and Bolivia, which St. Jose discovered when he was at Budapest University. Many Argentinians don't even know where France and the Soviet Union are.
"This is a small country that was just formed. They had a larger population than us in Argentina. They had American troops stationed there. Then they invented a food, a soup called "troop pot." People cleaned up the leftovers and they mixed luncheon meat with Pickles mixed in.”
"God, is it still a country if there are American troops stationed there? And what kind of food is kimchi? I have never heard of such a food."
"Kimchi is an oriental dish with mysterious origins. It originated in ancient China, but was taken away by the Koreans. Our country's pickled cucumbers are like this. The raw material of kimchi is cabbage."
"I know about New China, a big country that defeated the Americans. I still know their news from the "New Argentinian Daily News". That newspaper is very interesting, but it is a pity that we do not publish it here. We only have "The Clarion" and "New China". Daily Salta, this newspaper always praises Americans.”
"I will try it if I have the chance. We Argentines are still too lacking in food. I heard that Peruvians have many dishes, and even Brazilians have them. For a gourmet, this is very sad."
Saint Jose almost couldn't hold it back and took a sip of yerba mate before suppressing it.
"You can plant more vegetables. If you have time to come to Cordoba, you can experience excellent Chinese cuisine. There is already a Chinese restaurant street there, and the weather in Cordoba is very suitable for retirement. At least it is better than America is much better.”
"To be honest, people in our country are too lazy. I heard that people in New China are very hard-working. Although we have the best granary in the world, our development is still very slow. I think it is necessary to exchange the peso for some Only things that can be used can be used. You know, the price of beef and pork has increased by half in a month, which is terrible."
Lao Yev shook his head and sighed.
"I must go and see something when I have the chance. I have to say that there is quite a lack of delicious food here in Metan, which makes me feel a lot haggard. I have been to Cordoba several times and there is a direct train there. Maybe when I go to France You can stop by and have a look.”
"Okay, I'll leave you an address when the time comes, and you can tell me my name. I'll definitely be a distinguished guest."
"It is right to convert the peso into hard currency. At least the peso will still fall a lot. I have news that the presidential palace has printed a lot of banknotes."
Saint Jose took a sip of yerba mate and asked,
"By the way, Lao Yev, is there any way for our factory to produce cement bricks?"
This is another purpose of his coming here,
"Cement bricks, are they the kind of bricks made by mixing sand and cement?" Old Yev looked a little dazed after hearing what Saint Jose said.
"Yes, our town needs at least 20 million bricks."
When St. Jose was in Maria Town, he asked someone to estimate that in order to make the newly built houses solid and solid, at least 10,000 bricks would be needed for each floor and 1,500 houses would be built in the first phase, which would cost at least 15 million yuan. Including others, the base price is 20 million yuan.
"What is the waste of cement in this area? It is better to burn red bricks. The raw materials are everywhere, such as clay, shale, coal gangue, etc., then get a few crushers to crush them, mix and knead them, press them mechanically, and then throw them into the furnace. Once burned, it becomes strong and durable. You can use local materials, which is very convenient."
Lao Yev seems to know his stuff.
"We don't have that much high-quality coal. Coal gangue is everywhere, as well as clay and shale. I will help you build a large brick factory and produce 3 million bricks a month. It can be done for US$100,000."
"Then thank you very much. The bricks and cement I used to build the new town have been taken care of. All that is left is the steel bars. Just crush and sieve the gravel."
"Rubbles are everywhere. I can't help with the steel bars, and I don't know anyone in this field. The only ones available are in Buenos Aires."
"There's no rush. It's only used when the roof is capped. Now we only need enough red bricks, cement and sand to start construction first."
"These are all small things, Cohen. I'm going to get busy. I've already contacted the French by telegram. I'll take a boat to France for negotiations on the 15th of this month. You can also arrange some manpower by then."
"No problem, I will arrange it. When the time comes, you can help me find out if there is any steelmaking equipment for sale in France. I want to prepare a steel plant."
Saint Hesse arranges manpower to monitor the whereabouts of the money. If appropriate, he will continue to add funds. The bigger the cement plant, the better. It is best to build one in the mountains to save transportation costs.
"Okay, no problem, I'll take care of this."
"Cohen, what do you think about exchanging pesos for gold? Gold is valuable, at least you won't lose money."
"Gold is fine, but I have a better recommendation. If you have channels, just change it to US dollars. US dollars are actually more valuable."
If Saint Jose remembers correctly, the U.S. dollar has a high rate of value retention and can also appreciate. For small tycoons like Lao Yev, it is a good safe haven asset and can even appreciate a lot. If it is an ordinary Argentinian Man, he wouldn't suggest that.
"Okay, I have to think about this carefully. If what you say is true, this is a disaster."
St. Hesse stayed at Laoyev's side for another half day, leaving several intelligence team members and team members behind before leaving.
We have to go to Oran City again. There is a construction planner there. He needs to invite people to the new town area to make a plan.
San Jose has only a vague understanding of town planning. Professional people still need to do professional things, especially building a new town in a plateau area is not that easy.
…
afternoon,
St. Hesse saw this Buster Efield who came to this remote mountainous area from the city of Buenos Aires.
"Hello, Saint Jose Cohen, a small director of Thunder Mining. Thank you for coming from the distant capital."
"I also want to make some money while I'm on vacation. My hometown happens to be here, and the price you posted in the advertisement is so attractive, so I'm here. My name is Buster Enfield. You can call me Enfield." .”
"Is it a holiday? Is it winter vacation?"
"Yes, I am a teacher, to be precise, a teacher in the Department of Architecture, majoring in urban construction."
"That's great. It's getting a little late today. Tomorrow, we'll head to the Potassium Triangle."
"No problem, Mr. Cohen, you are so young. I can't believe that such a young person has such courage to set up a new town."
"Efield, have you had dinner?"
"I haven't eaten yet. My wife is waiting for me to go back for dinner."
"Okay, you go back to eat first, then I won't disturb you."
Saint Jose had a casual meal at his residence, and then he took out the newspapers from the past few days and looked through them carefully. There was not much important information.
I also took out the news reports from the intelligence team. Most of them were trivial and not too important.
The intelligence team also sent some information about the construction engineering team, which has begun laying foundations, and there is also an application to purchase trucks for transporting various materials and exporting raw materials.
The next day, Saint Jose and Kester took a car to the Potassium Triangle, and their relationship became much closer.
As the altitude increases, the plants become larger and sparse, changing from evergreen trees to shrubs, and then to mostly meadows.
"Cohen, you also went to college in Buenos Aires, or the University of Buenos Aires?" Kester looked surprised.
"Yes, I am a law student at the University of Buenos Aires. I am twenty years old."
Normally, a 20-year-old is already a sophomore and junior at the University of Argentina, so Sanjesé was delayed for a while.
"It's really no wonder. I am a teacher at the University of La Plata. I also graduated from the University of Buenos Aires. However, I was not admitted to the University of Buenos Aires for a teaching position, so I had to go to the next city. In this way, I am still your senior, more than ten years older than you. Senior,"
"Awesome, anyone who can become a university teacher is awesome, Senior Enfield." St. Jose did not hesitate to praise him.
"Just call me Eifield. After all, it's been too long, and I'm here to do things for you."
Kuster looked out the window and noticed that some Indian village tribes were a little different.
"Okay Enfield, these villages are all under the jurisdiction of Thunder Mining. They will become citizens of the new town in the future and escape from barbarism and ignorance."
At least for now, the Indian tribes in Argentina are indeed synonymous with backwardness and ignorance, even worse than the situation of the Gauchos.
"Thunder Mining is really powerful. I have never heard of it before, and I don't know who started it. I heard that it killed several gangsters and small warlords in just half a year."
"It's okay. I know the boss. He's just a bit handsome. By the way, our new town must be planned to accommodate at least 10,000 people."
“It’s not that much in terms of sheer quantity, but it’s already very large in the plateau area.”
"We need a reasonable plan here. In fact, the weather is pretty good. Ten thousand people is considered a large group. Ukawaka only has five or six thousand people, and they are close to the railway."
"Indeed, the new town is about 2,100 meters above sea level. In comparison, the conditions over Ukawaka are better. After all, it is considered an old town."
"The most beautiful village there is the colonial Bruma Maruca, backed by the Seven Color Mountains, which was the battlefield of the ancient Inca Empire. I have to say that Thunder Mining is very discerning, and Jujuy Province is a real mining capital. All."
The convoy finally stopped at the Soul of the Wheel, and there were still some traces of the shelling. The surrounding villagers were not greatly affected. They had already accepted employment and were preparing to build a new town - the quasi-town of Morado.
Thunder Mining promises that all Indians who join Morado Town will enjoy the opportunity for peaceful development, and will also bring education, medical care, and jobs.
The Indians in Argentina are a forgotten people. San Jose is trying to lead them to a new era. He even hopes that the quasi-town of Morado can become the largest Indian city in the future so that they can truly integrate into Argentina.
"In fact, they advocate freedom, are hard-working and brave, and are very similar to the New Chinese people. They are very smart, but they lack civilization. I am talking about modern civilization. Our country should not ignore these millions of Indian Argentines.
Since the people in the presidential office are not willing to let them develop, I think Thunder Mining has done a good thing.
There are still a lot of Indians in Argentina, and San Jose itself has Indian blood flowing through it.
If they can unite some of them, they will be a force that cannot be ignored. At least they are much better than those plantation aristocrats. They still have no right to vote, are at the bottom of society, and have even participated in some guerrilla armies in Bolivia.
"Our country must do something. If no one does it, then we, Thunder Mining, will do it, even if the final result is not good." St. Jose does not have a very solid fundamentals now.
Gauchos are considered a part of the country, and Indians are also a good target for development. He does not reject the development of civilization and allows Indians to be fully integrated into the Argentinian national family.
San Jose has planned to organize a new team, the Indian Team, and has recruited many young adults from nearby villagers.
"This is really exciting. I will survey and map it carefully. Since it is going to be big, it should be planned to be bigger, not as big as 30,000 people. In fact, the conditions here are really good. There are rivers and the climate is relatively mild. It is also easy to develop. Not bad, at least not worse than Ukawaka.”
"Our new town needs a secondary hospital, 3 primary schools, 1 middle school, stadium, park, an industrial area, police station, post office, fire department, residential area, several streets, etc."
Enfield also started surveying and mapping work, and seemed very excited. For a teacher majoring in planning, what could be more satisfying than building a town.
Saint Jose is also thinking about what the new town will be like by then. To be honest, the conditions here are actually not bad. It belongs to the middle and low latitudes. Except that it is a little cool in winter, it is not hot in summer.
Even now, it is relatively cold at night, and I occasionally need to cover myself with a quilt. It is a bit comfortable during the day. Except for the rainfall that cannot keep up, this is the proper Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau with very good conditions. If there are enough people, it will develop into 5 Ten thousand to 100,000 is no problem.
"As long as the conditions are right and we continue to expand, we must leave enough room for development. This is actually very suitable for summer vacation and will be a veritable tourist area in the future."
"Is that so? Then I will reserve more room for development when planning."
…
Enfield carried the surveying and mapping machine, constantly testing and surveying, and he was very professional.
Saint Jose returned to the regional headquarters to see if there was a suitable place to set up a brick factory. This was also a very important task.
"Brothers, practice and complete the boss's mission."
"clear!"
"Well, you are very energetic, keep it up." St. Jose passed by the new training ground.
It was such a simple and boring life. Saint Jose also dismissed the servants sent by Guerrero and asked them to go to the cigarette factory to help.
"Boss, please take a look. These are the report telegrams that you need to read."
"Okay, you go down and do your work first."
"Saint Jose felt really bored when he was sitting in the office. He could only become a good politician at best. He was too young and too proud."
This is Barossa Zahidele's assessment of the Saint-Joseph Road.
"As far as this matter is concerned, he, Saint Jose, is too impulsive. Of course, I have no intention of criticizing him."
Zahidele said to St. Hesse, “I couldn’t keep my composure, and I just said it because of my youth.”
"Thing Lei Mining will be disbanded on the spot in the future, which will leave a big hole."
"You have so many dramas."
"This is normal, but Thunder Mining has used methods such as critical strikes and investment to get a lot of things done."
Demons dance wildly.
