Saint Jose waved his hand and asked the security personnel to step aside.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
He was a little confused. This young man didn't look like one of his subordinates.
He had been to the Xin'a newspaper branch several times, but there was no such reporter, and he had already conducted several interviews.
"Hello, Congressman San Jose, I am Tommy Renocco, a reporter from the Pioneer Newspaper. May I ask you a few questions?"
Tommy quickly seized the opportunity and asked at a much faster speed than usual. He came here to interview Saint Jose.
The Pioneer is a party newspaper of the Republican Party, and Saint Jose is no stranger to it. It is currently in the limelight. The circulation of the Pioneer is also the fourth in the country. The Radical Party and the Republican Party are still allies.
"Okay, Mr. Tommy, shall we find a place? I still have half an hour to spare."
St. Jose looked at the time and nodded. The Republican Party still has to give face. Of course, time is more precious now.
The two came to a newly opened coffee shop outside the city hall. This is an industry newly laid out by the Falcon Bureau. In order to support peripheral intelligence agents, they had to allocate some funds to them. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say that the intelligence system could be expanded now. So fast.
A large part of the Falcon Bureau's funds has been turned into some of its own trading industries in order to obtain some intelligence and then disguise it, such as supermarkets, bars, fast food restaurants, coffee shops and other strange industries.
Fortunately, with St. Hesse's planning ability, it is difficult to lose money. Although the profit is not much, it can still support some people in the system. Otherwise, the financial pressure capacity will not be reached.
After a while, the two officially started today's interview.
"Then we officially start asking questions."
"OK."
"Congressman Saint-Jesse, I don't know what you think about yesterday's demonstration at the meat factory."
The question was very sharp when it came up. Saint Hesse briefly sorted out his thoughts.
"I don't know much about this parade, but I believe that the city government and Mayor Calanchi can give us a satisfactory answer."
The demonstrations at the meat factory have nothing to do with St. Jose. Let the city government and their families have a headache. They are nothing more than layoffs and lower wages.
"Congressman San Jose, I heard that you graduated from the University of Buenos Aires and became a city councilor just over two months after graduation. I wonder if it is for some unknown reason."
Good guy, how dare you ask questions.
"This is an opportunity given by the country to our young people. As far as I know, this year in the motherland, a considerable number of young people graduated from various aspects of government and parliament to work in government agencies, and I am just an insignificant one among them. The entire Puerto Blanca citizen service. As for my background, it is the support of the citizens of Puerto Blanca. I was born in a small village in the Pampas..."
St. Jose talked eloquently and talked a lot.
"Okay, I understand. I wonder if Congressman San Jose has any good solutions to the current unemployment and various problems in Port Blanca."
Finally asked something with technical content.
"This is a very good question. I believe that the free and brave citizens of Puerto Blanca will restore the economy soon. Regarding this, I have also prepared a specific recovery plan, which I plan to submit to the parliament this month..."
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
Tommy sat upright and recorded carefully.
"I think that in order for the Port of Blanca to prosper and develop, it must develop the port economy and vigorously develop industry, so that it can better get out of the crisis and establish a large industrial zone..."
The interview came to an end. The interview was well done, and Tommy was very satisfied.
The two shook hands and said goodbye. As for the proposal, Saint Jose was indeed preparing it.
"Boss, do you want to warn that person?"
The security guard came to San Jose and asked.
"That's not necessary. Just let him go. I believe he won't dare to say nonsense. But you have to be careful and send some people to keep an eye on this reporter."
Saint Jose thought for a while, but still let people stare. As for what he published, if he really dared to say nonsense, someone would naturally deal with it.
"Okay, boss."
…
After a period of work, Saint-Jesse struggled to integrate the affairs of the Radical Party, with the help of Thomas and Clayderman,
With the help of the Xin'a newspaper, the Radical Party attracted many new members, and with the help of political funds, the Radical Party took on a completely new look and updated its overall organizational structure.
The Radical Party branch carried out a series of reforms, which gave many Radicals hope. St. Jose creatively introduced some Republican systems and made changes, such as working methods, liaison with trade union organizations, and docking with the St. Jose factory. Waiting for jobs, and even developing worker members and the like.
For Saint Jose, what he is best at is of course economics, and other things can be put aside. As long as the cake can be enlarged and the Port of Blanca is developed, then everything will not be a problem.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
He has already thought of a rough plan in his mind. As a key politician of the industrial party who has experienced the greatest industrial revolution in the history of the global economy, he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run away?
So after briefly looking at the historical parliamentary proposals of Port Blanca, he prepared a "Proposal for the Port-Based Industrial Zone of Port Blanca". He did not have much time, and there was not much window of opportunity left for the Argentines.
Compared with the intense competition in the capital, the Port of Blanca here is like a blank sheet of paper that can be drawn at will. Moreover, the transportation here is convenient, and various industrial equipment needed can be transported by railway.
Foreign capital is now entering Argentina. For example, five tractor factories are about to be established this year, not to mention other factories. Fortunately, after the economic crisis, the factory in San Jose has strong enough production capacity and stronger competitiveness. With the support of banks, you are not afraid of competition.
You can open cement plants, petrochemical plants, coal chemicals, metal smelting, fertilizer plants, machinery plants, textile plants, clothing factories, acid and alkali plants, steel plants, and shipyards here in Port Blanca. You can turn this place into a It has become the most powerful industrial city in southern Argentina.
An upgraded heavy industry city that is more powerful than Maria City, integrating the south and becoming an industrial base.
There is oil in the Patagonia province south of Port Blanca. Deep-water port terminals can be opened here. Cheap and flat land. There is an endless supply of Australian coal and iron ore, Chilean copper ore, and Brazilian iron ore. It has convenient sea and land transportation conditions. , is more suitable than Maria City for the development of heavy industry, and can also develop foreign economic and trade processing industries. It is far away from the complex competition in the capital, and is less likely to be targeted.
The economic prosperity of a foreign trade city depends critically on an open world trade system, and the prosperity of a heavy industry city can promote the strength of the country.
To establish this port-facing industrial zone, both market and technology are important. Fortunately, South America actually has a fairly small market, which has long been occupied by big countries like the United Kingdom and the United States. If Argentina wants to rise, it will need to challenge their economic colonial hegemony in the future.
In addition to the South American market, there are also the Nanyang market, the European market, and the future African market, all of which require difficult exploration.
"The Lingang Industrial Zone plans to build an initial area of 10 square miles. In the first phase, 10 large factories will be introduced, and then related industrial chains will be cultivated."
St. Jose writes and draws, and still plans to engage in heavy industry. Instead of steel plants, it will engage in other metal smelting, aluminum alloys and copper alloys. The copper mines can cooperate with the local governments of Chile and Peru, the bauxite can cooperate with Australia, and the San Martin Aircraft Factory There is also a need for stronger and lighter alloys.
October 18, three o'clock in the afternoon,
"Boss, there is an urgent telegram from Montevideo, and the national newspaper "La Pioneer" has also published it."
As soon as Saint Jose finished planning the Lingang Industrial Zone, an intelligence officer from the Falcon Bureau brought a telegram and a newspaper.
St. Jose read the newspaper first, and saw the tofu block on the seventh page, as well as interviews with several new officials and congressmen from other places. It was obviously not an exception, and basically did not deviate from the conversation of St. Jose.
"Saint Jose Cohen, the young MP of Puerto Blanca who successfully ran for office, said: I am only grateful..."
Some of the headlines are fake, but the overall article is pretty good, but St. Jose is not very satisfied.
Turning to look at the telegram from the Falcon Bureau, after casually reading it, St. Jose couldn't help but stood up excitedly and said:
"Good news, really good news. Finally, we don't have to be controlled by the Brazilians."
Saint Jose danced a little and jumped for a few minutes before slowly putting down the telegram.
According to the news from the Uruguay branch of Prali International, there is likely to be a large-scale iron mine with reserves of more than 200 million tons in the Thirty-Three Province of Uruguay.
"Help me draft two telegrams and send them to the directors of Thunder Mining and La Plata Steel Plant respectively, asking them to form a team to go to Thirty-Three-Three-Man Province."
This time, iron ore was discovered in the central province of Uruguay. Compared with coal mines, the origin of iron ore is much smaller, and it is very close to the La Plata Steel Plant and is easily transported.
Thunder Mining takes more international routes and invests in Australian coal mines, iron ores, and bauxite mines. It already has certain mineral development experience and is very suitable for mining this iron ore. The La Plata Steel Plant also needs a stable supply of iron ore, and You need to invest money to improve it, after all, it is not Argentina.
"Yes, boss."
Watching the intelligence agent leave, Saint Jose calmed down and sat down quietly. It can be said that he is bound to win the Uruguay iron ore. It is estimated that the reserve is at least 300 million tons. The supply of a large steel plant in 10 years is not The problem is, the price may be more expensive than Brazilian iron ore.
Let Thunder Mining prepare personnel to compete for this large iron ore, and La Plata Steel Plant send people to form a joint team.
I have to say that this iron mine came just in time.
Uruguay belongs to Argentina's traditional sphere of influence. With the Uruguay iron ore,
Saint Jose plans to increase investment in Uruguay, mainly in minerals and trade.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and security can be more guaranteed. Mining minerals in Uruguay is more convenient than Bolivia. It may take longer to mine iron ore in Bolivia. Their facilities are too backward. As for Brazilians and Australians, now It sounds nice, but if there is a price increase or a bottleneck, it will be the end of the world. You can't put all your eggs in one basket.
This is really a double blessing. Uruguay has a flat terrain, and there is a railway that can transport iron ore to Argentina, which is much faster than the iron ore in Bolivia, Australia, and Brazil. However, the grade of the iron ore is unknown, and Argentina and Uruguay currently have relations with each other. Very good, they are also happy for Argentinians to invest in minerals. Although the Uruguayan government is stable now, it is still very poor, there is no employment, and the population is very small.
San Jose thought for a while, continued to improve his construction proposal, and planned to let Thunder Mining strengthen domestic mineral resource exploration. To be honest, he had no idea what resources there were underground in Argentina.
Argentina's state-owned coal mining company, established three years ago, has not made much progress in exploration. At present, coal mines still mainly rely on imports, and only some coal mines are mined in Patagonia.
Mineral exploration work in other places is also very inadequate. There are also some coal reserves in northwest Argentina, but the grade is low. Otherwise, San Jose would have let Thunder Mining mine it. The same is true for iron ore. The reserves are low and of low grade, far inferior to those in Brazil and Bolivia. , probably not as good as Uruguay,
The copper mines in the Andes are pretty good, but Thunder Mining’s current mining technology is difficult to access, and the mining cycle is too long and the investment is huge. Therefore, it can only rely on foreign imports, and time and investment do not allow it.
…
After a period of preparation, Saint Jose hooked up with several congressmen and took Elena to several cocktail parties. With Elena's help, these cocktail parties felt like a fish in water.
Through some goodwill, he once again got to know more powerful officials and some congressmen, and brought Clayderman with him. He didn't really care what the upper-level people in the Radical Party thought.
Clayderman is a talented person and one of the few people in the Puerto Blanca Radical Party who can stand alone. The two have had many detailed exchanges.
The situation in the entire Port of Blanca is relatively simple. It only needs more than 2/3 of the votes to pass the construction bill. Saint Jose also has a lot of confidence. This construction plan must fully mobilize Blanca. All forces in Hong Kong are seeking benefits.
He also had a basic understanding of the workings and basic methods of parliament.
He also made further upgrades to the proposal, which not only expanded the scale a lot, but also had a package of specific construction plans, including finance, debt issues, financing platforms and other aspects, further improving his plan.
We have also added several implementation ideas and some specific measures that are beneficial to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. We even plan to open up some sales channels and clear out beef stocks, wheat stocks, and mutton stocks in order to obtain their approval.
October 24,
The executive meeting of the Porto Blanca City Council usually comes once every two months and lasts for a week, usually in the second half of every two months.
As a new member of Parliament, San Jose attended the executive meeting of the Port of Blanca, intending to promote his economic recovery and reconstruction plan.
"Hello everyone, the purpose of convening the Standing Council this time is to let everyone take a look at the huge construction recovery plan that Congressman Ensepp and several members of the Congress have carried out."
Ensepp Alexander is a well-known centrist congressman in Puerto Blanca. Saint Jose spent a lot of effort to convince this congressman. With his endorsement, the matter was half done.
"I believe everyone is aware of the power of this economic crisis. Port Blanca is backed by the Pampas. This is a good opportunity to help our city develop."
