Rebirth of England

The current Kolo, in layman's terms, has entered a stage of "economic construction as the center" after ending years of civil strife.

Almost all of the low-interest loans obtained by the Colo government from the United Kingdom, the World Bank, China and other countries have been invested in domestic livelihood construction, including education, medical care and some infrastructure.

Among these infrastructure constructions, they attach the most importance to the construction of water conservancy and highways.

Because of Kolo's special climate, its north and south ends are plains and the middle is a plateau. In fact, both precipitation and transportation have had a certain impact on the development of Togo.

In terms of agriculture, Kolo is bounded by the central plateau area. The southern part has a tropical rainforest climate with an average annual temperature of about 27°C; the northern part has a savanna climate with an average annual temperature of 30°C...

The southern region has a major dry season from mid-November to March of the following year; a heavy rainy season from March to mid-July; a minor dry season from August to September; and a minor rainy season from the end of September to mid-November. The plateau area in the central region has only 4 There is a rainy season from April to October; the northern region experiences a short rainy season from May to September, and a dry season from October to April of the following year.

From this climate characteristic, we can know how important it is for them to plan reasonable water conservancy projects in agricultural production.

If water can be stored during the rainy season and used in the dry season, and the north-south waterways can be opened up to balance water resources when the rainy season and dry season intersect between the two sides, it will be a great boost to Kolo's agricultural production.

However, limited by their economic strength at this time, they can only temporarily carry out part of the water conservancy construction after overall planning to meet the needs of their most important agricultural production areas.

In addition, in terms of transportation, it can be clearly seen from the geography that the north and south ends of Colo are both plain areas, but they are blocked by the plateau area in the middle.

In addition to the long-term control of coastal areas by government forces, the focus of development is the Maritime Province, where the capital Loti is located. Currently, Colo covers an area of ​​57,000 square kilometers and has a total population of nearly 7 million, but nearly 2 million of them are concentrated in the area. With only 90 square kilometers of the capital Loti, you can see the uneven economic development.

The reasons are, on the one hand, the long-term internal disputes, and on the other hand, its geographical characteristics, coupled with insufficient investment in transportation construction, which has caused the relative isolation between the north and the south, making it difficult to transfer dividends from coastal shipping to the northern region.

However, given Kolo’s location in West Africa, especially the regional advantage of having the Port of Loti, the first good port in West Africa, it is very promising to develop it into a freight transit center for the entire West Africa, but how to quickly transport the goods from the Port of Loti? Other neighboring countries also have problems that they need to solve.

The Kolo government intends to build a highway and railway trunk line that runs from north to south. Kolo is a long and narrow country, about 600 kilometers long from north to south, 150 kilometers at its widest point from east to west, and only 50 kilometers at its narrowest point. Therefore, this trunk line is very important to Togo. The significance is very significant.

However, because of the mountains and plateau areas in the central part, the estimated total investment for just such a main railway line will be around US$2-3 billion. If highways are included, the total investment will be nearly 600 kilometers with six lanes in both directions. The total investment in highways will also be around US$2-2.5 billion...

Colo certainly does not have so much money to invest in these infrastructures at this time, so it can only strengthen the construction of some roads to the surrounding areas of the capital Loti.

But if the oil field discovered this time in the Colo Sea area can have relatively large reserves, then the development of this offshore oil field will definitely be able to solve many financial problems in the development of Colo, and the international oil price is still on the rise. , now is indeed an excellent opportunity to exploit oil.

…

In the dim room, there was only a vague "buzzing" sound - it seemed like the sound of an incoming call after the mobile phone was set to vibrate mode, and other strange sounds that appeared from time to time...

It's like, tasting the deliciousness of an Alpine lollipop...

At this time, if Mrs. Hall Catherine was seen by others, they would probably not believe it. The beautiful woman who usually looked dignified and elegant was dressed differently at this time.

Black high-heeled shoes with red soles and 8-centimeter heels, with beautiful black stocking legs on top, and above that, a fishbone palace-style one-piece underwear, looming...

Especially where the underwear and stockings overlap, in this dimly lit room, a little red display light is clearly visible.

Barron, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa, put the information he had just read on the coffee table on the side. He looked at Mrs. Hall who was kneeling on the ground in front of him...

While the woman was busy, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was in pain, but she seemed to be enduring something...

This scene made Barron couldn't help but grab her hair...

"vomit……"

Catherine breathed heavily and looked at Barron with a dissatisfied look in her eyes.

At this time, Barron's eyes fell on the carpet, where the glimmer of light was reflected, and her face became even more rosy...

…

"The money I got doesn't just sit in the bank. Is there any good investment?"

When the noise in the room quieted down, Mrs. Hall's rosy complexion gradually faded away. Instead, her hair was covered with beads of sweat. She leaned on Barron's arm and asked with a delicate and tired tone. When saying this...

"If it's safer, it would be to buy some properties here in London. The appreciation in value will be pretty good in the future."

"Where is your Mars fund? I heard that the returns from that fund are very impressive..."

After hearing what the other party said, Barron looked at her with a half-smile:

"Do you just believe me?"

"Do I have a choice now? I can only choose to believe you..."

After selling shares in Hall Bank to the Hall family, Catherine received a cash payment of 50 million pounds.

However, although the Hall family also wanted to buy the Northrock Bank shares she held, in the end, Catherine listened to Barron's words and did not sell the shares, but continued to hold them in her own hands.

What she is asking now is how the 50 million pounds of funds will be used.

"If you put this money into the Mars fund, you will definitely get good returns, and it will be more generous than other investment methods..."

Barron thought for a while and said to Catherine:

"However, the capital size of the Mars Fund has now exceeded 3 billion US dollars. After the capital becomes larger and larger, future investments will definitely not be able to double or even several times the income in a year as it was originally."

"Even if it can make a stable profit, it would be good..."

Catherine was quite tolerant of this.

"If you want to invest in the Mars fund, although this year's investment window has not yet opened, I can also make a special case for you...or if you believe me, then wait for a while and I will tell you what to buy. …”

"good……"

Catherine took a deep look at Barron and said:

"I'm waiting for news from you."

Because Barron knew that he asked Catherine to keep the shares of Northrock Bank. When the subprime mortgage crisis comes, the value of these shares will definitely shrink significantly...

But controlling a part of the shares of Northrock Bank is very important to his future plans.

Barron's principle is that as long as he trusts himself and stands on his side, he will not treat the other party badly, so on the other hand, he will definitely give Catherine enough compensation.

As long as she is obedient enough, she will definitely gain more than she does now.
