Greece’s Roman Road

After seeing that everyone present reached an agreement, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed.

"For some time to come, the Greek government will invest heavily in Albania, especially in infrastructure."

"Albania's backwardness will soon change," Constantine told several Albanian delegates.

Jamali and the other four representatives of the big landowners had very different reactions to these words.

For these big landowners, the economic improvement of Albania is very beneficial to them. At the very least, the food produced on their land has a wider market than before.

For nationalists, the more Greece invests in Albania, the tighter its control over Albania will be.

……………………

On March 2, the exploration team originally organized by the Greek government, which lasted for nearly a year, covered almost all the mountains and rivers in Albania, and finally completed the exploration of Albania's mineral resources.

On March 15, the general director of the exploration operation, Dr. Mio Ariston, will be in Tirana to give a brief report on the distribution of minerals in Albania.

People from the Greek economic circles flocked to get the news.

Constantine was also prepared to attend this meeting.

On March 15th, in a hotel near the port of Tirana, Dr. Mio Ariston, with a white beard, presented a report to the large audience.

"In Albania now, there are almost no traces of industry, the economy is almost 100% dependent on agriculture, and the agricultural production technology is very backward; the level of road traffic is poor, the main means of transportation are horses and cattle; as for health care facilities, very few; More than 90% are illiterate" Dr. Mio Ariston first introduced the basic situation of Albania.

"The types of mineral resources are petroleum, asphalt, lignite, limestone, chromium, copper and nickel, etc."

There was a buzzing sound in the conference room, and everyone was talking about these minerals.

Except for lignite and bauxite, most of the resources needed by the Greek industry are imported. Everyone was shocked when they heard that there are copper reserves in Albania.

After the discussion in the conference room subsided, the doctor continued: "Albania's most abundant mineral is chrome ore. According to our estimate, the reserves are one million tons, mainly in the form of chromite."

"Copper mines are mainly concentrated in Kurbunes in the Mildita district, Jajen in the Cooks district and Tucci in the Puk district"

"Coal is concentrated in the Tirana district, Memari in the Tepelena district, and Mbolle-Drenovo in the Korca district. Among them, Mbolle-Drenovo has the largest reserves."

Hearing the news of the coal mines, Scalloy of the steel mill asked happily, "Doctor, are there any hard coal reserves in these coal mines?"

Looking at the excited Scarloy, the doctor shook his head: "It's all lignite."

Having said that, Dr. Mio Ariston left the venue.

Except for oil and copper mines, other mineral resources are of little significance to Greece.

In the past, almost all the copper mines needed by Greece depended on the high-quality copper mines in the Congo.

Since the main copper mines in Congo are located in the center of the southern African continent, if you want to transport these copper mines to Greece, you have to travel thousands of kilometers by train within the Congo alone, which makes the cost of producing copper in Greece very high.

Previously, the Greek Army Quartermaster Department had to wait for several years in order to store enough shells and bullets.

Now that there are copper mines in Albania, Greece does not have to rely entirely on Congo for the source of copper mines.

Carl, the general manager of Tesla Power Company, was eager to try when he heard that there was lignite distribution in Albania.

Although the company is already building a hydropower station in Albania, the hydropower station can be put into practical application in theory.

However, the investment cycle of hydropower stations is very long, and the capital required is also very high. For Tesla Power Company, which has just made a profit, it still owes a lot of debts to major banks, and it can still be put into use quickly and generate fast-profit thermal power plants. most attractive.

The current Tesla Power Company is currently the largest coal miner in Greece, with an annual lignite mining volume of 450,000 tons.

Since lignite has no other uses other than power generation, there are almost no buyers for lignite mines in Greece, except Tesla Power Company, which is a big consumer.

Therefore, the lignite mines discovered in Albania will not compete with Tesla Power Company at all.

As for oil, the news that the Zipao Foundation and the Nobel family are cooperating to develop oil in Albania has long spread, and I am afraid that no one will compete with such a rival.

In this way, the most valuable mineral deposits in Albania are copper ore.

As for nickel ore and chrome ore, such rare metals do not have much value at present because they are used very little in the international market.

Gao Bai Rui looked at Constantine and said, "Your Highness, do you have any suggestions for copper mines in Albania?"

Constantine shook his head without making a sound.

Oil, the fattest piece of Albania's resources, has already entered the hands of the royal family, and it would be too greedy to attack copper mines.

Moreover, after the supply of copper mines in Greece is backed up by the reserves of Congo, the copper demand of the Greek army can already be satisfied.

After seeing the reaction of Constantine, the other members of the big Greek families who came to the venue were happy, but the royal family did not take action, which means that they have a chance to get a share of the copper mine~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the end, under the organization of Alpha Bank's Costerbloom and the Greek National Bank's Gao Bai Rui, they formed a copper ore company together and prepared to jointly bid for the copper mine from the Greek government.

Although Greece's finances have made great progress after the tax reform, due to excessive spending, the Greek government's pockets are still tight.

The mining license of mineral resources discovered here in Albania is also a good income for the Greek government, which can alleviate the urgent need.

In the end, the oil development rights in the city of Ferry were bought by the Greek oil company controlled by the royal family for 5 million drachmas.

The copper mines in Albania were acquired by the Southern European Copper Company, which was funded by major Greek families, at a price of 2 million drachmas.

According to the requirements of the industry, the funds obtained by the Greek government will first be used for the laying of railway lines in Albania, so as to solve the backward traffic problems in Albania as soon as possible.

In order to put the railway in Albania into operation as soon as possible, the railway will start construction in sections, starting from Albania on one side, and extending the original railway northward from Greece on the other side.

Among them, the railway laid in Albania will be opened as soon as possible to facilitate the circulation of Greek goods in Albania.
