After getting off the boat, Pusai Kimal, the secretary-general of the city hall, was already waiting on the pier, asking their motorcade to take Dr. Tan Ke back to the Aviation Industrial Park.
The weather in Blanca City is pretty good today, and the coup did not affect the place too much.
There are many small clothing factories in the East District. In fact, they are just an ordinary small bungalow with a few domestic sewing machines and a few workers. They can take some orders for clothing production.
"Da da da, da da da", some older female workers stepped on the sewing machines, with the pedals swinging up and down with their feet, making clothes flexibly.
These imitation old-style sewing machines are basically imitated by Leidun Machinery Factory. They are cheap and of decent quality.
Most of these small workshops take some outsourcing orders. They make these clothes near their homes, which can subsidize their families. Blanca City has slowly turned into a textile and clothing industry center.
"Mr. Mayor, the deputy mayor wants you to go directly to the reception room."
"OK, all right."
St. Jose sat in the back seat and said nothing.
When he arrived at the city hall, St. Jose went straight to the reception room. The deputy mayor and others, Geranto Martinez, were receiving a big shot. He was relieved to see St. Jose's arrival.
"What happened?" Saint Jose asked Heranto.
Heranto was originally the speaker of the city council and was once St. Jose's boss. Of course, the speaker did not have much real power. Most of the bills passed were about balancing interests, dividing the cake, and endless wrangling.
San Jose came from behind, kept making the cake of Blanca City bigger, and then introduced a group of new people.
And he officially appointed Heranto as the deputy mayor. Heranto is still one of the highest-ranking people in Blanca City. As a political officer, it is indeed a bit difficult for him, but it is also something he has to do. Otherwise, the families in the city would not have allowed him to control the city smoothly. This is also a clever new balance.
"This is Juan Cook, deputy secretary-general to the president, Mr. Secretary-General, and this is our mayor, San Jose Cohen."
Heranto opened his mouth to introduce, and Saint Jose looked at the Justice Party people coming from the presidential palace seriously and stretched out his hand.
The specific information of this person has emerged in his mind. This person is the popular person in front of Bilon, the deputy secretary-general of the president, and a former member of the Congress. He participated as Argentina in the World People's Peace Conference in Vienna two years ago.
"Hello, San Jose Cohen, Mr. President hopes that you can serve as the head of Argentina's national steel plant."
Juan said a little arrogantly, directly explained his purpose of coming, and shook hands with Saint Jose.
"It's a little sudden. Can you tell me the reason?"
Saint Jose was a little confused, so he directly said that he had done a good job.
He knew a little about the Argentine National Steel Plant. This was negotiated with the United States in 1949. An American steel plant was responsible for the design and construction, with a designed output of 1 million tons. It seems that the presidential office approved it in 1949, but not even half of it has been built yet. , it has been 5 years.
The construction speed is completely incomparable to that of the La Plata Steel Plant. The La Plata Steel Plant took more than half a year to prepare, and it took more than 2 years to complete the construction.
It is said that the national steel plant is engaged in wrangling and going on strike all day long, and the construction progress is far inferior to that of the surrounding small steel plants.
The Yankees require all construction materials for the steel plant to be imported from the United States, but the Americans are still embargoing them, so many construction projects are seriously behind schedule.
And there is a trend of unfinished work. At 1 million tons, it is now not even comparable to the scale of the Hans Steel Plant. No matter how sophisticated the construction is or how American-funded it is, of course this is the real efficiency of Argentina. For example, La Plata Steel The factory is a special case.
"It's like this. The National Steel Plant needs a new director. The construction is currently in the final stage."
Is this a blatant downgrade for him, a director of a joint venture steel plant? Everyone knows how to choose a mayor with real power.
"I still need to think about this."
Saint Jose pretended to think deeply for a while before speaking tactfully.
"I heard that you are one of the shareholders of the La Plata Steel Plant."
Juan seemed a little disappointed, stared into Saint Jose's eyes, and said.
"Yes, I do own 100 million shares in the La Plata Steel Plant."
San Jose did not shy away from this matter. When the La Plata Steel Plant was established, he spoke at the construction conference and organized an investment meeting.
He also had an identity at that time, that is, he was the spokesperson of General Tomps Jr., so many people naturally regarded this steel plant as Little Tomps' industry.
Later, it became blurred, and some foreign companies were established to carve out shares in the La Plata Steel Plant. However, in the end, these all pointed to Barron's Bank and American Sequoia. The design equity of Barron's Bank was even more complicated. If you check it, you will know that this bank has an American background.
This huge group company has grown into a behemoth and cannot be ignored by the Presidential Office, which has always wanted to connect with the Americans.
San Jose has spent more than four years extending its economic tentacles into every corner of Argentina.
And this steel plant in La Plata is quickly changing everything.
Before the establishment of the La Plata Steel Plant, Argentina spent huge amounts of foreign exchange to import steel every year to meet its needs. It probably imported at least 500,000 tons to 800,000 tons every year, and the price was still very expensive. This is why Argentina needs to develop its own independent steel plant. industrial reasons.
Now the situation is reversed. Argentina can export 1 million tons of steel every year to generate income.
"Sir, times have changed."
Saint Jose wanted to have a word with him.
The arrogance of American capitalists is nothing more than to see if you don't have it, and then pay a high price, or wait for you to have an economic crisis and buy high-quality companies at low prices.
At least Argentina now has no shortage of steel and can use its huge steel production to negotiate with foreign countries.
"How about it? Do you need to think about it again? The city of Puerto Blanca does not have much room for development, and the National Steel Plant is a factory in Buenos Aires after all. The investment is huge. A countryman like you, It’s amazing to be able to work in the capital.”
Juan said with some disgust, almost not revealing the identity of the Gauchos from Saint Jose.
This is also a kind of arrogance of the so-called capital people. San Jose has already discovered this problem. Even though Argentina is a country of immigrants, it is just like the United States. Discrimination is everywhere. This is also a social division. Old immigrants discriminate against new immigrants, and the middle class discriminates against the bottom class. , men discriminate against women, this is Argentina in the 1950s.
The "Silver Age" wasn't pretty either.
St. Hececo did not think this was a good job and did not want to spend energy on such personnel power struggles. He directly ignored these implicit discriminations and did not shy away from being a Gaucho.
"The situation of this joint venture steel plant seems a bit complicated, and there are still many things in Blanca City waiting for me to arrange. Everything in Blanca City is wonderful, and I will be with Blanca City, by the way. Puerto Blanca had its name changed a few months ago.”
Several spectators, including the deputy mayor and civil servants, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They had witnessed the rapid changes in Blanca City. At least now, Blanca City needs the powerful mayor of San Jose very much. They have already I don’t want to go back to that sleepy and immobile small city.
With a production capacity of one million tons, two large blast furnaces can handle it. It is better to build several more in Blanca City.
"That's a shame, you lost a great opportunity."
Juan looked at Saint Jose with some pity and planned to leave.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go and get busy first. There are a lot of things in the city hall that keep me busy. Why don't we have a meal together after get off work?"
Saint Jose looked down at his watch. It was already 3:16. He felt a little impatient, but his expression didn't change much.
So an eviction order was issued.
Time passed extremely slowly today.
"It would be a shame if you don't go. You won't have to eat. I have other things to do."
There is really nothing to get along with between myself and Bilong.
This is a high-rise building that is about to collapse, a silent ship. Although there are still huge assets inside, those legacies still belong to the Justice Party.
As long as you are still in the Radical Party, you should not be a faggot.
What's more, he is also one of the more than 100 official senior representatives of the Radical Party nationwide.
St. Hesse can also understand that now Bilong can easily suppress the naval and air force rebellion, and he still has a lot of cards in his hand.
But he could also tell that the building was about to collapse.
In fact, when Bilon announced the separation of church and state and abolished the status of the church as a state religion, even the Argentinian middle class, which was independent of the world, had already taken action.
It's just that Argentina's strike is more like a parade. The middle class chose Saturday and held flags with great interest.
After seeing Juan off, San Jose convened a civil meeting of the town hall.
Saint Jose stood in the mayor's seat, supporting the table with both hands, looking at the civil servants in the conference room, they were all a little scared.
Seeing Saint Jose's calm and collected attitude, he slowly relaxed.
"Everyone knows that there is a rebellion in the capital. This matter may have some impact on us, but I hope it will not interfere with everyone's work..."
Saint Jose did not regard this naval turmoil as a coup, which was indeed a very bad thing.
"In the next period of time, there will be bigger problems brewing. I hope that our Blanca City can develop better, and I will work with everyone to build Blanca City into a better place..."
"If there are any specific work matters, they can be discussed and resolved here..."
"Finally, my thoughts are with the city of Blanca."
At this meeting, St. Jose drew a big picture, and he is confident that it will gradually become a reality in the future.
As the current anchor of Blanca City, almost no one wants him to leave here now, and everyone is relieved.
Now many people from provincial governments and even the presidential palace are trying to come here to pick peaches. They never thought that anyone in this small city could withstand this pressure.
Since the British evacuated the city of Blanca, development here has almost stagnated for more than twenty years.
Then there was spontaneous and endless applause from everyone.
The information of the City Hall will soon be spread to the entire city of Blanca and the surrounding areas through the official documents of the City Hall and the newspapers and periodicals of the City Hall.
…
In addition to meeting people at the presidential palace and stabilizing the morale of the military, Blanca City continued to develop as usual under his leadership.
Friday,
Saint José met a guest at the town hall, the heads of the Ditelia family, Antoya and Lante Ditelia.
He had heard a little bit about this consortium and didn't pay much attention to it.
The Detria Consortium is now one of the largest industrial consortiums in Argentina. It owns the largest private siam refinery, a refrigerator factory, a power plant, and they are even planning to build a car manufacturing plant. They also have an engineering smelting company.
The founder of siam company, Torquat Ditglia, is of Italian descent. He started in the bread manufacturing industry and entered the oil industry. Later, when he was arrested for Bilon, he made some inappropriate remarks and was punished by the current president Bilon. Hated.
It can only be said that Bilon's dislike has brought them into confrontation with Argentina's highest authority, which has also made the development of this consortium very slow.
Despite this, this is almost the most modern industrial consortium in Argentina and always has a lot of wealth.
Although in Saint Hesse's view, these so-called refrigerator factories have nothing to do with modern assembly lines, he doesn't like them, and their output is not good.
They have little relationship or conflict with San Jose. They are in different industries.
Although San Jose also started out in the food industry, it was not until the past two years that it branched out into the steel and electricity industries, to the motorcycle and oil industries.
This time, Southern Petroleum's Roman operation stimulated the second generation of this consortium, Lant Detria.
Why San Jose wants to enter the oil industry is very simple. In addition to the purpose of making money, the most important thing is that Argentina's oil production can no longer meet the needs of rapid economic development, just like the original steel.
At present, except for Argentina's national oil company YPF, other oil companies are basically not involved in crude oil extraction. Even the two giants Standard Oil of the United States and California Standard Oil are only involved in imported oil and oil and gas sales. This huge cake has attracted many forces at home and abroad in Argentina. s concern.
However, the management and production level of the national oil company is still in the 1930s, which cannot meet the needs at all, and exploration and production are small.
Saint Jesé formed the Southern Petroleum Company because he took a fancy to Patagonia's huge oil resources. If Argentina's oil resources are fully exploited, it will be no problem to support a complete industrialized system.
The Italian oil team has reached the end of negotiations and is almost ready to return home.
This project eventually became a 3 million-ton refinery, which is exactly half of Argentina’s current oil production, and a 400,000-ton ethylene project.
It has a transportation capacity of 10 million tons and 1,000 kilometers of oil pipelines.
In other words, Saint Jose must be able to dig out at least 15 million tons of oil in the south every year before the pipeline is completed.
"Mr. Mayor, we hope to enter Blanca City and build an oil refinery here..."
