Reborn Business Tycoon

Chapter 369: Behind the Borrowing (12) Yao Yi carefully recalled the place Godhua told about, and thought: "If the canal is dug according to this terrain, the terrain will be in the Andes Mountains.

It is a relatively gentle piece of terrain in China. From the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, it is rare to find such gentle terrain. Although the route is more tortuous and twice as long as the current Panama Canal, its total distance is about the same as the Suez Canal if excavated.

, you can also use the original river channel, which can save a lot of costs. However, the intersection of the two rivers in the middle has a slightly higher terrain, but this does not affect the overall situation."

In Yao Yi's mind, he began to plan to build a new canal in Colombia.

The original Panama Canal had several major problems, which made Yao Yi feel the necessity of digging a new canal.

The first problem is that the United States has extremely strong influence on the Panama Canal. Although the treaty has been signed and the Panamanian government has completely taken back the management rights of the canal, the United States has already obtained all priority and maximum rights when the treaty was signed.

Therefore, in the Panama Canal, ships from other places cannot receive the same treatment as American ships. If there are no sanctions, Yao Yi’s future ships will not have any problems. However, Yao Yi’s previous life

It is very clear that he is Chinese. The United States is wielding the big stick of sanctions more and more frequently, and more than 90% of them target Chinese people. If there is a problem in this regard, Yao Yi and the United States will have to fight.

For Yao Yi, he did not want to bear the war, nor was he willing to bear it. Owning a canal in his own private territory, especially if there was a military war in the future, would reveal the power of this canal in wartime.

The second problem is that the navigation capacity of the Panama Canal is very poor, much worse than the Suez Canal. Due to the topography and the fact that the Andes Mountains are just on the coastline of the east coast of the Pacific, the Panama Canal has to lift water step by step.

Navigation capacity greatly restricts the tonnage and navigation capacity of ships. However, the Choco Province of Colombia is a rare flat land on the east coast of the Pacific. It is full of swamps and dense virgin forests. If it is developed properly,

It is not difficult to dig a super large artificial canal, and its navigation capacity is definitely more than ten times the combined navigation capacity of the Panama Canal and Suez Canal.

The third problem is that the canal will have absolute say and priority in navigation in its own private territory. You must know that Yao Yi is a businessman. As a businessman, he does not have absolute control over logistics and transportation. So in the future

It will be controlled by others everywhere, especially by certain hegemonic countries. By then, the blow to business will be fatal. If we want to establish a logistics network and business network that extends in all directions around the world, we must control the transportation hub. Only in this way,

Only then can we not be controlled by others, and only then can our goods flow smoothly around the world.

The fourth problem is that Yao Yi has planned to take over nearly 18 million square kilometers of land in the Soviet Union. However, there are more than 50 million people in this land. Such a large population

, If there is no work, it will be a very terrible thing. A huge project like digging a canal requires a large number of workers. By then, Yao Yi will not have to worry about the work of his employees. For Yao Yi, this is killing two birds with one stone.

Anyone is willing to do anything.

Yao Yi thought a lot in these short ten minutes. Godhead looked at Yao Yi in a daze and said, "Duke Yao, are you satisfied with this land? This is rare in South America.

A province with few people and lots of land.”

Yao Yi looked at Godeward and said, "Haha, you are right. With such a good piece of land, how could the Colombian government be willing to sell it to me?"

Goldwater said with a smile: "Oh, you don't know that now all the governments in South America have become paupers. Their good times are gone forever. They have fallen into the middle-income trap and their subsequent economic growth will be weak.

, so this is the time when their governments are worried, and now they are trying every possible means to attract investment in order to stimulate their economic development."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "Well, what you said is quite good, but do you know the rules of my private territory?"

Goldwater said: "Of course, you are now famous all over the world, and everyone knows the rules for your acquisition of private territory - you have administrative power, judicial power, diplomatic power, and military power. In fact, you are a country, but you only recognize it on the surface.

It's just their country's territory. But what these governments want is superficial recognition, so that they can explain it to the people and at the same time, they can make enough political capital and personal gains for themselves."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "It seems that this land is not that simple. The Colombian government will not sell its land so easily. There must be something wrong with this land, and you didn't say it."

Godhead blinked, thought for a while, and said: "How is it possible? There is no problem here. What I just said is the truth."

In fact, he did not tell the whole truth. He was afraid that Yao Yi would give up the acquisition of this land after hearing the real inside story. In this case, he would not be able to earn a large amount of introduction fees.

Choco Province has a flat terrain and a typical tropical rainforest climate, which is very suitable for growing poppies. Just like the Golden Triangle of Indochina, it is a place where the world's drug lords hide. These drug lords have their own private armies and almost replace the government management.

In this place, coupled with the dense virgin forest, it is not easy to send troops to exterminate them. Therefore, this province is basically in a state of anarchy, with various drug trade, arms trade and indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

This place has become one of the few hells on earth in the world. The Colombian government not only invests a lot of money and energy to eliminate drug traffickers every year, but also responds to the censure of the international community, which seriously damages Colombia's image. In addition,

This place is inhabited by Indians and descendants of black slaves. They are a race despised by white rule. Therefore, this place is a burden that the Colombian government dreams of getting rid of. However, getting rid of the burden cannot divide the country, otherwise the people

No, but land acquirers like Yao Yi just cater to the tastes of these politicians, so it is only normal for them to find Godhua to help them connect.

Yao Yi has been paying attention to the situation near Panama, and is also very concerned about its neighboring Colombia. In addition, Yao Yi has always wanted to control the important transportation center. Yao Yi has considered this place, otherwise, he would not

You will be so familiar with this.

Yao Yi knew in his heart that it would take some struggle to win this place, especially as some countries would not sit idly by.
