You never know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
The sudden death of Otto Lieffe shows that if someone is unlucky, he will die if he works overtime.
Otto was indeed working overtime at that time, but he didn't expect someone to be so crazy and go directly to bomb the city hall.
Blanca City has made great economic progress, and the province also came over to inspect this rapidly developing new city.
Some people in San Jose and Buenos Aires provinces are quite familiar.
When the La Plata Steel Plant was first established, Sanjesé knew many people in the province.
This time, people from the province also wanted Saint Jose to work in the provincial government.
It's just that San Jose doesn't want to go to the province now, and Blanca City has just begun.
If you go to the provincial capital, you can only be an unknown person like a deputy minister, which is a waste of time, so I declined.
Time is precious now, and the development of Blanca City has not yet stabilized, so many plans have not been implemented.
He also wants to make up for Blanca City's industrial shortcomings, preferably by acquiring automobile factories and truck factories.
In terms of development ideas, the development in Blanca City and La Plata will be different.
The La Plata Steel Plant has greatly promoted the economy of La Plata. In the words of later generations, it will increase GDP.
The significance to the city of La Plata is no less than a rebirth.
In addition to investing in the steel complex in La Plata City, Sanjesé also has Sanhais Shipbuilding, and its other investments are not many.
Coal-iron composite + coastal industry is the current development situation of La Plata.
After all, La Plata was originally a city of less than 500,000 people. Even after adding a steel complex, it now only has more than 600,000 people. The growth rate is not too fast.
Blanca City is the city where Saint Jose currently belongs. Saint Jose wants to develop heavy industrial sectors such as shipbuilding, machinery, and petrochemicals.
In addition, he is extremely eager for population, especially the labor force population, and population growth.
Light industry, textile, clothing, food and other industries have a huge demand for labor.
Among them, the food processing industry is a little different. This one has relatively high requirements for market location.
Fortunately, rail transportation in Argentina is not too expensive. Currently, Prali Foods only has factories in four major cities in Argentina, which are also the main markets.
Purari Foods has reached its peak in Argentina. The domestic market in Argentina is so small, so it still needs to go international and seize the market in foreign countries.
The next plan is to build factories abroad.
Or they can go upstream to engage in flour, grain and oil processing, slaughtering, and export. In this area, the competition pressure will be relatively high.
This is Argentina's current advantageous industry. The industry leaders in it are not only advanced in concept and technology, but also relatively large in scale and have connections with foreign countries. They have entered deep water areas.
The textile industry and garment industry still have great potential that can be tapped. Due to currency depreciation, Argentine labor is not too expensive and international labor can be introduced. The competitiveness is still very high, which is also an advantage for exports.
In addition to these light industries, textile industry, and agricultural product processing industry that meet employment needs.
The most important goal of Blanca City is to develop large-scale industry, especially the development of high-level machinery manufacturing industry, chemical industry and metallurgical industry.
This also requires excellent ocean transportation conditions as a foundation. After all, many minerals can only be imported from foreign countries.
But in areas like metallurgy and steel, there is a huge demand for talents. It was originally set up in the city of La Plata because of the resources of the local university, the University of La Plata, and it is also close to the capital.
But at present, Argentina's universities are all comprehensive universities, and they don't pay much attention to science and engineering.
Soviet-style professional university education is indeed helpful in quickly cultivating talents. Saint-Jesse also wants to build a steel academy for steel plants.
This requires support from the provincial government. San Jose hopes to build a La Plata Iron and Steel Institute, similar to the cooperation here in Blanca City, to specialize in cultivating talents in the metallurgical industry.
So let the steel plant talk to La Plata City Hall.
These are the reasons why San Jose wants to build a new heavy industry base in Blanca.
But the disadvantage of Blanca City is also obvious, that is, the population is too small. To develop these key industries of the Second Industrial Revolution, in addition to buying technology from Europe, Germany, and the United States, a huge population and talent are also needed.
Although more than 30,000 people have migrated from the north recently, this has almost reached the current limit.
Then we can only think of another way. The factory is being built, and now we need to reserve the population first.
In addition to robbing people, there is also cooperation.
There are more than ten counties, cities and towns surrounding Blanca City, and the population is quite large.
These cities are all agricultural cities, and the next step is to activate their desires, unite them around Blanca City, and become the source of talent for the population of Blanca City.
The northwest corner of La Pampa Province is a grassland, which is a densely populated area in the province. The northern part of Rio Negro Province is also a densely populated area. There are also two national universities here, the National University and the National University of La Pampa. Compared with just The recently established National Southern University is still much stronger.
In the provinces of La Pampa and Rio Negro, people from the Justice Party are now high-ranking officials.
The power of the Radical Party in Rio Negro Province is pretty good. It is one of the few southern provinces with a relatively large number of Radical Party parties.
But the populations of the two provinces are actually not too large. La Pampa Province only has 200,000 people, and Rio Negro Province has only 200,000 people.
A little more, almost 400,000 people, while the current population of Blanca City is about 140,000, and the nine towns in the surrounding Buenos Aires Province together have a total of a little more than 80,000.
In other words, the current population around Blanca City has a total radiation range of only 820,000 people, and the land owned by such a small number of people is almost 390,000 square kilometers of land.
You must know that the environment of these three blocks totaling 390,000 square kilometers of land is similar to the environment from Shandong Province to Hebei Province in New China.
In other words, even if it is 2/3 less, the population capacity of this place actually started at 30 million, which is far behind the current 820,000 people.
Blanca City Hall, San Jose warmly received the heads of the surrounding towns, and the cities of Viedma and Santa Rosa actually accepted the invitation and sent a deputy mayor respectively.
Obviously attracted by the economic development plan of San Jose, these southern provinces of Argentina can be said to be unloved by grandpa and grandma.
Too poor, even if there are abundant resources, a lot of sheep, and a lot of cattle.
But the vision of future development described by St. Jose in his letter made these people uneasy.
Develop the economy and build an industrial zone like the Ruhr area in Germany.
"We need you for the development of Blanca City. The state does not invest, but we are willing to invest. We need your city's help to develop together. Our industrial zone will have a greater say in the country..."
Blanca City is located along the coast, and the ammonia industry, including three acids and one alkali, can be developed.
In the reception room of Blanca City Hall, San Jose hosted this group of guests from afar. This time, 11 towns + 2 provincial capitals represented 13 towns.
"We are willing to provide technology and build factories. I can help you this time, build factories together, and provide us with raw materials."
"We need huge amounts of salt, we need more limestone, we need timber, we need oil, we need gas, we need electricity, we need more wool, more beef, more wheat."
Yes, with the expansion of the factory in Blanca City, the local production in Blanca City is far from meeting the needs, and most importantly, Saint Jose needs the help of these cities for mutual benefit.
The power of Blanca City is still too small, and the surrounding cities and towns have what he needs.
San Jose wants Blanca City to be the leader. Currently, Blanca City is indeed the largest among these cities, but its status does not meet the requirements and the city level is low.
Santa Rosa and Viedma in particular may not agree.
Only then did Saint Hesse decide to activate his money ability.
The province of Buenos Aires is a country within a country in Argentina, and the distance from Blanca to these two provincial capitals is much closer than to La Plata.
Moreover, La Pampa Province’s only outlet to the sea is the city of Blanca. The economic cooperation between the two sides is already very deep. The original purpose of dividing the Port of Blanca was to prevent La Pampa Province from becoming bigger. When La Pampa Province was changed to a province, In a very short period of time, just a few years, the separatist forces were very strong in the past.
The same is true for the province of Rio Negro, which is very close. Viedma itself is a small seaside town, and many resources have to be imported to Blanca City for transshipment.
Blanca City was originally positioned to weaken the two provinces. After all, Blanca City is far more suitable as a provincial capital than Santa Rosa in La Pampa Province, effectively turning La Pampa Province into an inland state. Province.
The reason is naturally that these two provinces were almost the southern border of Argentina. Before the annexation of Patagonia, there were actually many Indians here. However, Argentina, like the United States' westward expansion movement, had already eliminated these Mapuche Indians. Surpassed by physics.
The Indians here were not as lucky as their compatriots in northern Argentina, and they encountered Argentines who were full of martial virtue.
This is also the truth of the world, the law of the jungle is the naked law of the jungle, but it is not glorious, just like the Yankees. Perhaps Argentina's fall was because of this tragic killing and was cursed by the dead Indians.
It led to constant chaos and even tragic killings in Argentina in the second half of the 20th century.
The large plain between the south of Blanca City and the city of Viedma is almost the essence of these two provinces. It can be said that there is no in-depth development here and it is deserted.
Saint Jose can even grow rice here. He also wants to build a large pig-raising base, wheat cultivation, water diversion and irrigation, and build this into a large industrial and agricultural base.
"In addition, we can also establish deeper cooperation and carry out real large-scale development here. There is a real gold mine here. We have no shortage of water resources here and there are two large rivers, which is completely sufficient. Yes, as long as a water network is established for irrigation.”
Both provinces are mainly agricultural, and there are many large farms, but they don't make much money, or they don't make enough money, so they are somewhat dependent on the weather.
"We have cooperated with Prali Food, a famous domestic company. We need about 200,000 tons of grapes to make wine."
San Jose took out the 11th purchase contract and signed it with Viedma.
"This year we still need 300,000 tons of leather, 800,000 tons of salt, 3 million tons of limestone, and 2 million tons of oil."
Just painting a cake is not enough, these people are not fools.
Saint Jose must place solid orders and purchase huge quantities of production raw materials and supplies according to the needs of each factory.
"We can also support graduates from the two universities."
La Pampa University and Viedma University have less than 1,000 graduates this year. If Blanca City wants to enter high-end manufacturing, it needs enough talents.
The deputy mayor of Santa Rosa and the deputy mayor of Viedma are both impressed. The employment environment in these two cities is not good, and the national universities only recruit people from the province. It is too troublesome to find a job in other provinces, and the capital is chaotic. Very.
If Blanca City can really wrap up most of these people, it will help them solve a big trouble.
Saint Jose is also familiar with their pain points. Maybe college graduates are a big trouble in a city without industry, and it is impossible to send them to a farm to herd cattle, and they cannot go to the capital.
If Blanca City can really solve the problem of employment, that would be great. The secretary of Saint-Jesse asked the secretary to come up with a demand list, including clerical jobs in banks, food factories, civil servants in the Free Port of Blanca City, scientific research institutes, and teachers in colleges and universities. The offer is also high.
The two deputy mayors breathed a sigh of relief. It was not fake.
In this era, those who can go to university in Argentina, especially those in poor provinces, are either rich or noble, or they are geniuses among geniuses. Saint Jose does not think it is a trouble.
I even thought it was a bit small. It would be great if all of these 900 people could come.
…
Finished this rough economic cooperation.
Saint Jose breathed a sigh of relief.
The purpose of this time is not just for economic cooperation. South Argentina has great development potential. If these cities and provinces can be connected in series, and the second Argentine Navy here is added, this weight will naturally be heavier.
Being a Cordoba second is not a problem.
Elena called, and when Saint-Jesse answered the phone, his heart beat faster and he became nervous again.
He had a premonition that something terrible was going to happen.
